At night, watching Chao Mu sleeping soundly, Zhou Jun gave Jin Feng Niang a few words and then went alone to the courtyard of the back garden of the Jin family.
While drinking warm tea and looking at the bright moon, Zhou Jun sat there, quietly waiting for the arrival of his guests.
In the middle of the moon, the courtyard is filled with the chirping of insects.
A white silhouette jumped up to the wall, holding a bright moon on its back, looking at the people in the courtyard.
Zhou Jun took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "I told you before that the door is for entry and exit."
Tuoba Huaisu stepped lightly on the ground and said to Zhou Jun: "I don't like talking to idle people. Climbing over the wall can save a lot of trouble."
Zhou Jun put down his tea cup and sighed: "I heard from Master Luo that you have something to ask me about?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "I saw Han Guli."
Zhou Jun was stunned and then asked: "What did she say?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "Hanguli deceived everyone in the hidden sect, and her master Ayimu kidnapped you into the ancient tomb. You and Hanguli triggered the mechanism, got rid of Ayimu, and found another five hundred
The traces of the Zoroastrian saint many years ago.”
Zhou Jun looked at Tuoba Huaisu: "Did Han Guli tell you these?"
There was no trace of sadness or joy on Tuoba Huaisu's cold mask, he just nodded lightly.
Zhou Jun: "Why did she tell you these things?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "She wants to make a deal with me."
Zhou Jun: "Deal?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "Five hundred years ago, the Zoroastrian holy witch Qing wrote several diaries, which recorded the events of the prophet Princess Yanqi. Hanguli read the first one, and she wanted to find the remaining ones.
Ben, finally unlock the secret of the prophet and find the traces of the true God."
Zhou Jun recalled carefully that when Hanguli was young, her tribe was massacred. She hoped to use the power of the true god to return to that time and prevent the tragedy from happening.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jun asked Tuoba Huaisu: "Since it is a transaction, what do you want to get from it?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "I want to find my master."
Zhou Jun was stunned for a moment, then said: "If I remember correctly, your master is dead, and you buried her with your own hands."
There were rare mood swings in Tuoba Huaisu's voice: "Yes, I did say that the master is dead...at least, I thought she was dead."
Zhou Jun noticed something was wrong and asked, "Did Han Guli say something to you?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "She told me that she once accidentally met my master in a border city of Dashi Country."
Zhou Jun: "Could she have seen it wrong?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "At first I thought that was the case, but then she described the situation in detail. The more I listened, the more surprised I became. So... I went to the master's graveyard with suspicion and inspected it carefully.
."
Zhou Jun: "What did you find?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "The earth and stones above the tomb are different from other places. If you don't look closely, you won't notice it at all."
Zhou Jun's eyelids twitched: "You dug up your master's grave and opened the coffin?"
Tuoba Huaisu nodded.
Zhou Jun: "Your master is not in the coffin?"
Tuoba Huaisu nodded again.
Zhou Jun suddenly felt powerless.
Five hundred years ago, Princess Shen Qian of Yanqi and the Zoroastrian saint witch Qing deceived many people with empty coffins. Over the years, the Zoroastrian people were good at not learning, and the trick of faking death has been passed down, and now it has been passed down. Tuoba Huaisu's master followed suit.
There was a hint of sadness in Tuoba Huaisu's voice: "I watched the master die before my eyes, and then buried her in the grave with my own hands... In the end, the master's death was a scam from beginning to end."
Zhou Jun thought in his mind that when Luo Gongyuan was in Chang'an, he said that Tuoba Huaisu was looking for him because of his old secret.
From this point of view, the "old man" mentioned by Luo Gongyuan refers to Tuoba Huaisu's master, the previous Zoroastrian saint.
But, why did the latter fake his death, why did he deceive Tuoba Huaisu, and why did he appear in the Dashi Country?
Tuoba Huaisu cried out in sorrow: "Although Master treats me harshly, I know that she cares about me all the time... However, since she passed on the title of Saintess to me, why did she deceive me again? Stay away from me again?!"
Taking advantage of Tuoba Huaisu's sadness, Zhou Jun on the side went over the whole thing from beginning to end.
Five hundred years ago, the time traveler Shen Qian became Princess Yanqi. Because she was not familiar with history, she watched the country of Yanqi get involved in war, her husband was killed, and her parents and children were homeless.
Shen Qian, who originally wanted to die for love, gave up the idea of seeking death after listening to the persuasion of her maid, Wu Qing, and the two of them left the dragon cave together.
Many years passed, and Wu Qing entered Zoroastrianism and became a saint. As for Shen Qian, her whereabouts are unknown.
Five hundred years later, the last Zoroastrian saint, Tuoba Huaisu's master, used fake death to leave Zoroastrianism and appeared in Dashi, thousands of miles away.
Nowadays, problems arise.
1. Why did Shen Qian suddenly change her mind when she wanted to die? What plans did she make?
Second, Shen Qian and Wu Qing, where did they go after they left the Dragon Cave? Why was it that only Wu Qing returned to Zoroastrianism and did not mention anything about Shen Qian?
Third, why did Tuoba Huaisu's master fake his own death to deceive his apprentice? Why did she go to Dashi again?
After thinking about this, Zhou Jun looked at Tuoba Huaisu and asked, "What are you going to do now?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "Although Hanguli and I have different purposes, we have the same goal, which is to find my master and ask what happened. At the moment, Hanguli has gone to Dashi Country and is investigating. I will provide her with all necessary assistance as to the whereabouts of my master."
Zhou Jun: "Then why did you come to me?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "Master told me the prophecy before leaving. And that prophecy guided me to find you. All this cannot be just a coincidence. There must be some meaning in it."
Zhou Jun: "I can't help you. There are more important things waiting for me to do."
Tuoba Huaisu: "I came to you not to ask for help. If, as the teachings say, everything is arranged by the gods, then fate will guide you to get closer to the truth without you taking the initiative."
Zhou Jun thought for a while and advised Tuoba Huaisu: "Have you ever thought that the reason why your master faked his death to stay away from you was just to hide some cruel facts from you. This may be a kind of
Protection in disguise.”
Tuoba Huaisu was silent for a long time, and finally said: "My senior sister Ayimu once told me that the master has committed a major crime of blasphemy and will eventually fall into the fire of purgatory. If this is what she concealed
For all the reasons, I am willing to bear this pain with her... To her, I may be just a fire girl; but to me, she is the only relative in this world."
After saying that, Tuoba Huaisu bowed his head to Zhou Jun, jumped up, and disappeared into the darkness.
