After coming out of the villa, Qi Wufei stood under the street lamp beside the flower bed, frowning and meditating.

Now we are waiting for the results from Lin Linshan. From the order to remove Dongyue's natal pomegranate tree, we should be able to find clues.If Lin Linshan couldn't find out, he could only ask Duanmuwei to do the research.

At this moment, in his consciousness, he suddenly noticed someone coming from the darkness not far away.

Qi Wufei didn't avoid it.

He wasn't afraid of being discovered, and he deliberately stood under the streetlights. It would be best for those people to jump out by themselves.

But it's a pity that the person in the spiritual sense fluctuates in mana and looks weak. Even if he is a practitioner, he can barely touch the threshold. He has not yet entered the door.

After a while, a woman appeared on the path next to the villa.

A man and a woman stood under the street lamp, silent, looking a little weird.Duanmu Wei reacted quickly, and immediately took Qi Wufei's arm, pretending to be a couple.

The woman slowed down when she passed by them, looked sideways at them several times, finally stopped, and whispered: "But Mr. Qi and Miss Duanmu?"

Qi Wufei and Duanmu Wei were taken aback at the same time, and looked at her, as expected, they looked familiar.

Duanmuwei finally recognized her and said, "You are from Xueqinlou..."

After being reminded by Duanmuwei, Qi Wufei also remembered that this woman was the waiter of Xueqin Building, and he had seen it when he went to Dongyue for tea.

"My name is Xiaoxue, and I met you two in Xueqin Building." Xiaoxue looked around and waved to them, "Come with me."

Qi Wufei and Duanmu Wei followed her all the way to another villa.

Xiaoxue opened the door, took them into the house, looked outside the door again, and then closed the door.

"This is the house bought by Sister Dongyue, but it's in my name, so no one else knows about it." Xiaoxue led them to the living room, "Please sit down, both of you, I'll come as soon as I go."

Qi Wufei and Duanmuwei were anxious, but they could only wait patiently.

Xiaoxue didn't make tea for them, so she ran upstairs all the way, and came back after a while, holding a box in her hand.

Duanmu Wei asked anxiously: "Where's Dongyue? Where did she go?"

Suddenly, Xiaoxue's eyes turned red and she shed tears, but she didn't answer Duanmuwei's words, she just gave the box in her hand to Qi Fufei and said, "This is what Sister Dongyue left for Mr. Qi."

Qi Wufei tightened his heart, opened the box, and saw a bunch of bright red pomegranate seed bracelets and a black wooden thorn in the shape of a hairpin inside.

"What's going on here?" Qi Yufei couldn't calm down anymore, even his hands were shaking a little, and asked impatiently.

Xiaoxue said: "Sister Dongyue said that if Mr. Qi found this place, I will give this box to you. She has already entrusted this body to Mr. Sun, moon and sky, this heart can be learned, even if you die a hundred times, you will never die." regret."

Duanmu Wei turned her head to look at Qi Wufei in a daze, full of surprise and puzzlement, but she turned her head quickly after all, waiting for Xiaoxue to continue.

Chapter 550, May you still know me

With tears in her eyes, Xiaoxue finished translating Dongyue's words, sobbed for a while at Qi Fufei and Duanmuwei, and then intermittently told what she knew:

"Six or seven days ago, a mysterious guest came to Xueqin Tower. I don't know how I got there. I just went up to have a look when I heard noises upstairs. When I went up, the person had already left, and there was a person on the ground. Broken glass.

That is Sister Dongyue's most cherished Ruci teacup. It has been collected for many years. It is said that it is a treasure of the old palace, and it comes from Nanfangbuzhou.When I saw the cup was broken, I knew something was wrong.

Sister Dongyue sat there, looking very depressed.I asked her what happened, but she didn't tell me, but told me to clean up the broken china on the floor.

The next day, the man came again.I was worried about Sister Dongyue, so I found an excuse to go up and take a look, and I happened to hear that person losing his temper, saying something like 'He is a big shot, but he is just serving him all night, so why can't he do it'.

Sister Dongyue remained silent throughout.The man dropped another cup and left angrily.Only then did I realize that the cup was dropped by a guest, not by Sister Dongyue herself. "

When Xiaoxue said this, Qi Wufei remembered the tea set left in Xueqin Tower.Ordinary tea sets usually have four or six cups in one cup. Dongyue took out three cups when he drank tea for the first time. Naturally, it was because there were three of them.But now there are only two cups left. It must have been four cups, but two were dropped.

"When the man came out, he bumped into me. I saw a fierce look in his eyes, as if he had eaten me. I don't know why. I couldn't move at the time, and even breathing became difficult."

Of course Qi Wufei knew that this was oppression by the other party's mana. With Xiaoxue's meager cultivation, any practitioner would be able to immobilize her.But since the other party let her hear the conversation between him and Dongyue, either he didn't care, or he was already ready to kill.

"What happened later? Go on." Qi Wufei didn't want to interrupt Xiaoxue? But seeing that she seemed a little scared when she recalled what happened that day?

Xiaoxue calmed down and said: "I thought I was going to die at that time, and even had hallucinations? I saw parents I had never seen before. Fortunately, sister Dongyue came out to protect me. I felt suddenly I felt relieved for a while, as if being dragged out of the water when I was drowning. I heard Sister Dongyue say to the man? This is my sister? You can't hurt her. The man just sneered, saying that you agreed to my conditions, I let her go. Sister Dongyue said that it is impossible to die. The man sneered for a while, saying, I know you are immortal? Although I don’t know where your foundation is? Are all the pomegranate trees uprooted?"

Qi Wufei was startled when he heard this, and he knew that this person must have done what he saw by the lake.Judging from Xiaoxue's description, Dongyue is not this person's opponent, so this person's strength must be above the fourth rank.Knowing the details of Dongyue, he probably guessed who it was.

However, who is the so-called "big man" he wants Dongyue to accompany?

"What happened next?" This time it was Duanmu Wei who was anxious and couldn't help asking.

Xiaoxue said: "When that person said this? I walked two steps closer, and I felt suffocated again. Sister Dongyue seemed a little scared too? But she still desperately protected me and pulled out a wooden hairpin from my head. It's the one in the box—" She pointed to the box in Qi Wufei's hand? "She held the wooden hairpin against her throat? She said that even if she died, she would never agree. The man said, don't think you have a hairpin in your hand. The key of the holy palace, I really dare not kill you. I am determined to get the relic of the empress. When I get the other half of the blueprint and find the entrance to the secret realm, if you don’t hand over the secret key, I will use the soul search method. Sister Dongyue Impressed, he didn't say a word. The man was silent for a while, and then walked away from the terrace."

Before Qi Wufei could speak, Duanmu Wei became a little nervous and asked, "He really said something like the key of the holy palace and the relic of the empress?"

Xiaoxue replied: "Yes. I heard it clearly at the time. Although I am not sure which words it is, but after comparing it with what Sister Dongyue said to me, it must be correct."

"What did she say?" Duanmu Wei asked.

Xiaoxue said: "After the man left, sister Dongyue called me, put the bracelet and hairpin in the box, and asked me to take the box and hide in the villa. Pay attention to observation these days, if Mr. Qi When you come to the villa to find her, give the box to the husband, and say that she has given this body to him, and she will never regret it. If the husband does not come, throw the box into the Acacia Lake and let it sink to the bottom of the lake forever. "

Qi Wufei was saddened, knowing that something ominous must happen in the future, but he didn't understand why Dongyue did this.As long as she makes a phone call or sends a message, Qi Duck Fei doesn't care.Even Fu Hongsheng would kill if he said so, even if it was the God of Wealth or a greater force, he would not be afraid.There may be some unknown reasons for this.

"I didn't know what it meant at the time, so I asked her why she didn't hand over the box to Mr. She said that she couldn't leave Xiangsi Lake. One was that she had no roots in other lands, and this body was hard to send. The other was that the mother's last wish was not fulfilled, so she couldn't leave without authorization." .Because of what she said, I was sure that I heard the so-called Shenggong and Empress correctly. Sister Dongyue told me to leave quickly after she finished speaking. I was afraid, so I hid here. This villa was bought by Sister Dongyue in my name. No one knows, not even Ms. Duanmu, so it is safe. But the more I think about it, the more something is wrong, and I feel panic living here I was uneasy, so I wanted to go back and have a look. The night before yesterday, when I went to Xueqin Building, I found that the door was closed. I called other waiters and asked to find out that the day I left, Sister Dongyue sent them enough money to let them all gone."

Xiaoxue sobbed again when she said this.

"That is to say, you didn't see Dongyue's accident, and you don't know where Dongyue is now, do you?" Qi Wufei asked with a glimmer of hope, although he knew in his heart that this hope was very slim.

Xiaoxue said: "Yes. But there is one strange thing, I don't know if it has anything to do with Sister Dongyue..."

"what's up?"

"Sister Dongyue loves pomegranate trees very much. The bracelets on her hands are made from pomegranate seeds. Every year when the pomegranates bloom, she is always very happy, but when winter comes, she is a little sad. She said her name is Dong The moon is to be transformed into a bright moon in winter, even if it is freezing cold, it can make the pomegranate tree warmer and brighter, so as not to be alone in the dark night.”

Xiaoxue said she looked out the window, as if she wanted to see the moon in the sky.

"When I came back that day, I saw workers cutting down pomegranate trees by the similar lake. Many people were watching, and some questioned the construction team, saying that many of these pomegranate trees were hundreds of thousands of years old, and they belonged to Nalan City. Important cultural relics, why should they be cut down. The construction team said that the hydrological environment here is changing, the trees are going to die, and they must be transplanted. But some people quarreled with them. I heard a strange thing from the people around me, saying that pomegranates are blooming at this time It's been a long time ago, and even the leaves have almost fallen, but a few days ago, suddenly, overnight, several pomegranate trees bloomed, bright red, like clouds from a distance. But the next day, another gust of wind blew them all into the lake Many citizens saw it, and they all said that the flower fairy had manifested itself. And the city government came to transplant the trees at this time, which inevitably made people a little more speculative."

After hearing this, Qi Wufei's heart tightened, knowing that Dongyue must not want to be coerced by others, so he finally chose to transform his body into Xiangsi Lake.And she is so resolute, perhaps because she has already had a sustenance in this life, a ray of her soul has already been planted on Pansi Ridge, and is growing vigorously with that seedling.

Duanmuwei was shocked and said: "I know about the pomegranate flowers floating in Acacia Lake a few days ago. There are many videos circulating on the Internet, but I didn't expect it to be Dongyue..." She was suddenly sad, almost crying, "I It's all my fault for being a sister to her! I wish I could visit her more often! If I knew about this, I would never let her..."

Qi Wufei silently took out his mobile phone, opened the short video website, searched for keywords, and sure enough, several videos of flowers floating by the Acacia Lake popped up.

He clicked on one at random, but saw that the screen was full of red petals floating, and then the camera zoomed out, and he saw the entire Acacia Lake. There were flowers everywhere on the lake, like a rain of flowers.It should be in the morning, there are not many people by the lake, and the photographer should be here for morning exercises, so they are not as noisy as those Internet celebrities who do live broadcasts. They only sighed softly a few times, and then stopped, as if they knew the voice of speaking It will spoil this beautiful atmosphere.However, the excessive silence made the bleakness of Luo Hua even more apparent.

After a while, the flowers rained down, and the camera zoomed in again, only to see the last few petals that could be captured near the water flutteringly fall to the surface of the water, sinking slowly.The surface of the lake became calm again, and not a single flower petal floated on the water, as if it was just a dream just now.

Both Duanmuwei and Xiaoxue have seen this video, but seeing it again at this time, they are in a different mood.

Qi Wufei clicked on several videos in a row, found the most beautiful one and saved it, then put away his phone, picked up the pomegranate seed strings in the box, and felt the remaining breath of life.

There are a total of [-] pomegranate seeds, one less than [-].There is a green leaf in the middle of the bracelet, which is already a little yellowish, showing faint signs of drying.

He knew that these pomegranate seeds were transformed by Dongyue's spirit, but the one that really had life had already been given to him and planted on Pansi Ridge.For the rest, as the pomegranate trees by the Acacia Lake are uprooted, their vitality is slowly disappearing.

He quickly put the bracelet into the empty mirror space.Then picked up the wooden hairpin.As soon as he started, he felt a different breath.

This is undoubtedly pomegranate wood, but the breath on it is very different from Dongyue's, obviously it was not taken from Dongyue's natal tree.

Qi Wufei also put away the wooden hairpin.Then look at the bottom of the box, there is still a thin booklet, which was suppressed by pomegranate seed strings and wooden hairpins just now.

He took out the pamphlet.There was no writing on the cover, but when the title page was opened, it read the six characters "The Outline of the Golden Elixir of Materia Medica", and there was another folded note with the four characters "King Fei Jun Qi" written on it.

Qi Wufei hesitated for a moment, but opened the note in front of Duanmuwei and Xiaoxue, and saw that it was written in beautiful small characters:

"The flowers bloom for thousands of years and no one asks. Once you know the king, this life is enough. I always think about being with the king, the ends of the world, and never parting. However, this body is not free, and it is difficult to fulfill my wish. I am not a concubine who commits suicide. I wish to be stained by the eyes of thieves again. Flowers bloom for a thousand days, and there will be a thank you. Dissipate the redness of this body, make mud in the Acacia Lake, and give it to Acacia. The pomegranate seeds in the box are the spirit of the concubine. The heart of Shenmu is the relic of the empress. Hope Keep it safe for you. There is also a volume of "The Essentials of Materia Medica Golden Elixir", which contains the medicinal properties of herbs and trees in the world and the essentials of alchemy, which may be beneficial to you. Death is nothing to fear. I know you, may you still know me."

After reading it, Qi Wufei's hand holding the note trembled, trying his best to control his emotions.This is the most emotional fluctuation since he came to this world.Sadness, anger, resignation, regret...many complex emotions flooded in like a flood that broke a bank.

It was such a coincidence that when this incident happened, he happened to go to the Flame Mountain.If he was in Nalan City, perhaps Dongyue would not have made such a choice.Worst of all, when he saw the news of falling flowers in Acacia Lake, he must rush over immediately to stop those workers from logging.As long as the pomegranate tree by the lake is kept, and the foundation is not destroyed, Dongyue's original body will still be there even if all her cultivation is lost. With a little cultivation, she will still be that Dongyue.

Now, all we can do is wait for the seedling on Pansi Ridge to grow up slowly.And even though that is where Dongyue's spirit is, it will be many years before she reopens her mind and becomes a human again!That's why Dongyue left a message saying, I don't know you, but I hope you still know me.

Duanmu Wei also caught a glimpse of the content on the note, and sighed softly in her heart, and saw that Qi Fufei's expression was stiff, his face was purple, his hands and feet were stiff and trembling, knowing that he was not feeling well, so she grabbed his hand and held it tightly. , want to comfort a few words, but finally still can not say a word.

Qi Wufei did not lose his mind.After a while, he immediately regained his composure and asked Duanmuwei: "Is there any important person in Nalan City these days?"

Duanmuwei said: "Except for Ouyang Tianjun, I haven't heard of any other important people coming."

"Who is Ouyang Tianjun?"

"It's an envoy sent by the Heavenly Court. Because there have been so many incidents in Nalan City a while ago, the leaders of the City God's Division and the Immortal Shield Bureau have changed, and there are still so many things to deal with. The above will send an envoy to supervise and ensure a smooth transition. Right." Duanmu Wei shook her head and said, "It can't be Tianjun, he is a god in the sky, and even my grandfather has been there to accompany him, so it is impossible to do such a dirty thing!"

Qi Fei frowned.

The person Xiaoxue met in the Xueqin Tower who forced Dongyue should be the God of Wealth in Mahjong. It stands to reason that the angel sent by the Heavenly Court would not have any relationship with a gang in the boundary city. this kind of thing.

He also didn't believe that Tangtang Tianjun did it, but other than that, what other important figures?If there are other important figures coming to Nalan City, the Duanmu family will not be unaware.

"Has the new servant of the Immortal Shield Bureau taken office?"

"It is said that it is called Zhang Lu, but the person has not yet arrived. The Immortal Shield Bureau has their own system, which is different from the City God Division. It is normal to have a gap in the middle. But he will never avoid us and come secretly. If he When we arrive, we will definitely know.”

Qi Wufei nodded, looked at Xiaoxue, and asked, "Miss Dongyue, do you have anything else to say? Or do you have any additional details to tell us?"

Xiaoxue thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "It seems that there are no more."

Qi Wufei asked again: "Then what are your plans for the future?"

Xiaoxue said: "Oh, Sister Dongyue said something when she gave me the box that day. I have been hesitating and sad for the past few days. Mr. Qi didn't mention it, so I almost went there. She said that when Mr. Qi comes, if he is willing to take him in, Let me go with my husband. In the future, my sisters may have a reunion day. But the road of practice has its own opportunity, and you can’t force it. If the husband refuses to accept it, let me sell the villa and go away to find a lover and enjoy the wealth for the rest of my life. .”

After speaking, he looked at Qi Wufei, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Then what do you think in your heart?" Qi Wufei asked.

Xiaoxue said: "I was originally an orphan, but thanks to Dongyue's taking me in, I have a place to stay. I know that I don't have the resources of heaven and man, but following Dongyue, I managed to see the way of practice. Dongyue said that if I can work hard, Longevity is not hopeless, but her method is different from that of ordinary people, and she cannot give me advice unless there is another master. Of course, I am willing to follow Mr., one can continue to practice, and if there is a day when sisters are reunited, how can I only think about the future? How about going to another country to enjoy the wealth and honor in the world?"

Qi Wufei nodded and said, "Okay, then you will go to Pansi Ridge with me in the future, and there is something that is most suitable for you to do. But I have other things to do tonight, so it is not convenient to take you back."

He said and looked at Duanmuwei, "Xiaowei, please take Xiaoxue with you first, and let her take refuge with you for a while. After I settle down, I will take her to Pansiling."

Chapter 550 Three, Investigation

Duanmuwei guessed what Qi Wufei was going to do, and wanted to dissuade her, but remembering the words on the note Dongyue left, she swallowed the words again.

She only shook Qi Wufei's hand firmly and said, "Be careful."

Qi Wufei nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm sensible. Don't tell your grandfather and father about this, I don't want to drag your family into trouble."

Duanmuwei said: "Xiaoxue just said that the person who came to find Dongyue mentioned the 'Key of the Holy Palace' and the 'Emperor's Relic', so it must have something to do with our family, so how can it be said that it is a drag on us?"

Only then did Qi Wufei realize that the Duanmu family is the authentic descendants of the royal family, and the Empress of Jinsheng Palace is their ancestor, so the so-called empress relics are naturally inseparable from them.The last time they were at Qilin Mountain, they knew the real location of Xiezhi Cave from the few words in the notes left by the Empress of Jinsheng Palace.But what was the key of the holy palace and the relics of the empress that the man was talking about?The Duanmu family, the descendants of the empress of Jinsheng Palace, has developed in Nalan City for more than 1000 years, so how could they not know about it?
