The four people soon arrived at Xuan Rufeng's courtyard. Xuan Liangyue arranged for them to rest in the front hall first, while he went to meet his father alone.
"Father." Xuan Liangyue said respectfully after entering the house.
"Ah Yue? Are you here so early? Is there something wrong?" Xuan Rufeng asked in surprise.
"Well, father, the poison on Wu Zun's body has been cured, and the elder has also suffered backlash. However, something unexpected happened. Now Aye, Xi'er and Wu Zun are waiting in the front hall.
Yes, they want to ask you something." Xuan Liangyue said.
"Is there anything you need to ask me? What does the elder's backlash have to do with the villa?" Xuan Rufeng asked in confusion.
"I told you before that the elder is coveting the things in Xuanmen Villa. Now it has been proved that what he wants is not the Gu Scripture. But... something from the tomb of the Xuanmen ancestors." Xuan Liangyue hesitated.
After a while, he spoke.
Xuan Rufeng finally understood why they came back here, but he still had questions in his mind. However, he knew that he should meet Feng Mingye and Murong Xi.
So, he said to Xuan Liangyue: "Since they are already here, I will go and see them."
Xuan Liangyue helped her father out and walked out. When Feng Mingye saw Xuan Rufeng coming out, she stood up and said to Xuan Rufeng, "Uncle."
Murong Xi and Ji Limo stood up, and Murong Xi also shouted: "Uncle."
"I just heard Ah Yue briefly tell me about the elder Zheng. What he wants is not the Gu Scripture? Ah Ye, please tell me the whole story of this matter." Xuan Rufeng murmured.
Feng Mingye nodded and briefly told what happened after the elder came to Xuanmen Villa.
"After removing the poison from Amo, we knew that Elder Zheng would definitely suffer backlash, so a few of us went to his yard. However, there was no one in the yard. We finally speculated that he went to the back mountain and entered
Xuanmen's ancestral tomb. Sure enough, we found the elder Zheng in the coffin in the ancestral tomb, and of course, the thing he wanted to get. There are still many things we don't understand, so why don't we get up early in the morning and run
Are you here to ask for advice?" Feng Mingye finally said.
After listening to Feng Mingye's narration, Xuan Rufeng roughly understood the whole story. However, when he heard that Elder Zheng was actually lying in the coffin of his ancestor, he was naturally very angry.
"The elder is actually lying in the coffin of his ancestor? Ah Yue, did you throw him out?" Xuan Rufeng said.
"Uncle, we haven't touched him for the time being because we know that he will sleep for at least half a month. Moreover, there are no ancestor bones in the coffin, only a wooden box." Murong Xi said to Xuan Rufeng.
"Wooden box?" Xuan Rufeng seemed to be lost in memories.
Murong Xi had already taken the wooden box from Ji Limo's hand and put it on the table.
After Xuan Rufeng came back to his senses, he saw the wooden box, coughed lightly and said, "Is this the wooden box?"
"Yes, there is a black snake coiled on top, as if to protect the wooden box." Murong Xi continued.
"About the wooden box, I heard your grandfather mentioned it. If it hadn't been for the accident, I should have told A Yue about it. The wooden box is the most important thing besides the Gu Jing.
Speaking of ancestors, I am actually very curious. Xuanmen was founded to deal with the Demonic Palace, and it only lasted a few decades. How come the ancestral graves are in the back of the villa? My father didn’t say anything, he just told me
Whenever I worship my ancestors, I have to go into the tomb to worship. No one is allowed to enter the tomb except on days when worship is required. Regarding the wooden box, my father only said that it was
Something that the ancestors have been protecting." Xuan Rufeng murmured.
"In other words, Xuan Rubing didn't know about this matter at all?" Murong Xi said.
"Well, Xuanmen Villa has a rule. This matter is only told to the next owner. So, except for me, no one knows about the existence of the wooden box." Xuan Rufeng said.
"It seems that the ancestors who guarded the box did not want people to know about the existence of this box." Murong Xi said.
"I'm just a little curious, why is the elder lying in the coffin?" Xuan Rufeng said.
"That coffin is a medicine coffin. Lying in it can not only prolong life, but also nourish the poison in the body. Fortunately, Xuan Rubing didn't know about the existence of the medicine coffin. Otherwise, there is a high possibility that none of us could be her match.
That's it." Murong Xi said to Xuan Rufeng.
"Medicine coffin? Elder Zheng's life is pretty good. Should he be kept in the coffin?" Xuan Rufeng said.
"Of course not, we just left him in the tomb for the time being. Later, we will go and carry the elder out." Feng Mingye said.
"If you want to open this wooden box, just open it. I don't know what is inside, which makes the elder Zheng so obsessed." Xuan Rufeng said.
Originally, Murong Xi and the others wanted to get some information about the wooden box from Xuan Rufeng, but they did not expect that even Xuan Rufeng did not know the secret inside.
Let alone a wooden box, he didn't even know that the coffin in the tomb was a medicine coffin.
Murong Xi checked Xuan Rufeng's pulse, and then told him to take good care of himself. After that, several people took the wooden box and left Xuan Rufeng's yard.
"Ah Yue, you haven't heard Xuan Rubing mention this, right?" Murong Xi asked.
"If she knew about this, the wooden box should have been in her hands a long time ago. In fact, the person she trusted the most was Su Zilan. I think she really didn't know, otherwise the secrets in the tomb would have been discovered long ago.
Already." Xuan Liangyue said.
"Well, even if Xuan Rubing heard the secret of the wooden box, he still wouldn't know where the wooden box is placed." Murong Xi said.
"I put the wooden box away, it's time to bring the elder back." Ji Limo said.
"Okay." After Feng Mingye arrived at the yard, he asked Ye Feng and Ye Luo to carry a soft sedan.
Originally, he could have carried the elder on his back, but the elder was too cunning and didn't know what kind of poison he would smear on his body. Therefore, he had to carry him on a soft sedan chair.
Ji Limo put away the wooden box and several people went to the ancestral tomb. After entering the tomb, Murong Xi sprinkled medicinal powder around Elder Zheng. Yefeng and Yeluo lifted Elder Zheng and placed him on the soft sedan, and followed them back.
Bamboo house.
Because the secret room in the bamboo house was demolished, the elder had to be placed in the secret room in the yard next to him.
Several people were sitting in the front hall, and Ji Limo said, "Let me open this box."
"Well, okay." Murong Xi did not object.
"Have you taken the medicine according to the prescription I gave you?" Ji Limo asked.
"I'll start taking it today. I was too tired when I came back last night," Murong Xi said.
"Well, your situation is quite special. After Achen and I were treated during pregnancy, our bodies became weak. Although the pulse was stable, the fetus was still a little weak. Therefore, three months after taking the medicine, acupuncture is needed to replenish Qi.
." Ji Limo said seriously the ancient sayings.
Murong Xi almost laughed, but now she knew that she couldn't laugh out loud. Because Ji Limo was hiding something for herself.
"I know." Murong Xi nodded and said.
"How should the elder deal with it? Let him fall asleep like this?" Xuan Liangyue asked.
"No, I will handle the matter for you, Elder Zheng. Don't interfere," Ji Limo said.
"Ji Limo, don't mess around. The matter has reached this point. If he dies, we will know nothing." Murong Xi was worried that Ji Limo would impulsively kill the elder.
"I won't kill him. I will take advantage of his backlash to destroy him as a Gu master so that he will never be able to refine Gu in the future." Ji Limo said coldly.
Murong Xi shrugged and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
The bed in Ji Limo's previous room had collapsed, so he could only sleep in Bailichen's previous room.
When it was time for lunch, Xuan Liangyue refused to leave, and the four of them ate together. Ji Limo tidied up the empty room next to it and turned it into a medicine room.
"Xier, you should go to rest at this time, just leave the wooden box to me." Ji Limo pushed Murong Xi to Feng Mingye's side and gave Feng Mingye a wink.
Feng Mingye took Murong Xi back to the backyard. Feng Mingye said, "Isn't the house in the backyard too small? Why don't we move back?"
"I think it's good. The scenery in the backyard is also good. Let's live here. Besides, we don't live here forever." Murong Xi said to Feng Mingye.
"It's up to you." Murong Xi returned to the room and fell asleep. Feng Ming saw Murong Xi sleeping at night and returned to the front hall.
Before Xuan Liangyue left, Feng Mingye asked: "Why don't you go to rest?"
Feng Mingye knew that Xuan Liangyue had not had a good rest last night, so she thought that Xuan Liangyue would go back to rest.
Xuan Liangyue said: "Let's go to bed at night. I can't sleep now."
So the two of them had to sit in the front hall and play chess.
Ji Limo cleaned up the house and put the wooden box on the table. He cut his finger with a knife and dripped the blood on the black snake.
After the black snake swallowed Ji Limo's blood, it was a little excited at first, as if it was not enough. However, within a quarter of an hour, the black snake became a little crazy while spitting out letters. Ji Limo looked at the black snake quietly.
The snake circled the box, and each circle became tighter and tighter. It looked as if it was trying to tighten the box.
After another quarter of an hour, the black snake became motionless. Ji Limo nodded with satisfaction and pulled the black snake off the wooden box.
Ji Limo did not rush to open the wooden box, but felt the gaps in the wooden box with his hands. Because he was worried that there was poison in the wooden box, so he was so careful.
Ji Limo put down the wooden box and applied a layer of concoction on the gaps in the wooden box. The green concoction turned black as soon as it was applied.
Sure enough, as he expected, the wooden box was poisonous.
Ji Limo opened the wooden box after seeing that the cracks in the wooden box had changed color.
After opening the wooden box, Ji Limo looked a little surprised. There was nothing inside the wooden box, which was pitch black, which surprised him very much.
Ji Limo smelled the box, and the smell of medicine was indeed very strong. Ji Limo took out a knife, cut the cloth in the box, and an envelope fell out.
Ji Limo cut the other side open, and there was nothing inside except a piece of sheepskin. Ji Limo frowned slightly, looked at the sheepskin carefully, and found that there was nothing on the sheepskin.
If the sheepskin is a map, why is there nothing on it?
After Ji Limo opened the envelope, she found that there was not a single word on the letter paper inside.
