Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

The medical cabinet was burning with charcoal fire, and it was as warm as the beginning of summer. Bloodstains spread from the door to the bed, and blood-stained bandages and towels were scattered everywhere. Lu Huaiwei's eyes were closed, her face was ashen. With her current appearance, it is really hard to be sure if she is still alive at a glance.

The pungent smell of medicine mixed with the strong smell of blood makes people dizzy when they smell it. Meng Jing is sitting on the edge of the couch, her light blue pine robe is stained with blood, and her hands have not yet been washed. She looks dull and sits there motionless. , and didn't speak, the disciples beside her were focused on dispensing the medicine, and they didn't dare to speak to her.

"Jing'er, stay here, don't relax," Elder Xu put down his pen, and handed the prescription to a disciple beside him, "I'm getting old and can't stay up all night, work harder, and you'll be fine in these two days." Don't sleep, be careful."

Hearing the voice, Meng Jing regained her senses a little, nodded and said: "I understand, Master should go back to rest earlier."

"Don't be too sad and worried," Elder Xu comforted, "Take good care of him, it's best not to leave every step, and change the medicine according to the time, so don't make any mistakes."

Meng Jing closed her eyes, stood up and said, "Then I'll see off Master."

Elder Xu waved his hand: "You don't have to send it away, you stay here, you must keep what I said in mind, and if there is any unexpected situation, you must immediately send someone to ask Xinfeng to inform me."

Meng Jing nodded obediently, then sat back down and continued to look at Lu Huaiwei. Elder Xu glanced at her, and wanted to comfort Meng Jing with a soft voice, but after thinking about it, he decided not to say a word. He pushed open the door and went out.

The sky had already darkened, and the palace lanterns had already been lit outside, and it was bright all around. Yin Qiu and Ji Wanshu waited for a long time, and when Elder Xu finally came out, they hurried forward and asked, "Elder Xu, how is Senior Sister Lu?"

Elder Xu sighed deeply, led the two of them down the steps, stood in the yard, and said, "Fortunately, the medical pavilion is close to the Mingguang Palace, and the people were delivered in time. Not safe. Although the bleeding has stopped and needles have been stitched, she is not in danger of dying for the time being, but she has been suffering from a cold for a long time, and has not been able to receive effective treatment. She is already weak. I think she still has tuberculosis. It is estimated that he has coughed up blood many times, and generally speaking, the situation is still not good."

Yin Qiu and Ji Wanshu looked at each other, both of them frowned tightly, with solemn expressions, Elder Xu continued: "As for what you said earlier, I have been investigating for half a day, but I didn't find that she used any delaying appearance The medicine for aging, you have never studied medicine, so you don’t know it. The so-called medicine is three-point poisonous. Any action that goes against the sky will have to pay a price. Otherwise, wouldn’t everyone in this world be immortal? If you want to rely on medicine to maintain youth , there is a high probability that the life span will be shortened, and it will also affect the internal organs. To put it simply, it is true that eternal youth is achieved. Wei is normal, except for the severe wind-cold and sword wounds, she has almost no other illnesses on her body."

Hearing what he said, Yin Qiu was really mixed for a while, and didn't know how to answer. Ji Wanshu also showed joy at first, and then became depressed.

Lu Huaiwei has never taken any medicine, and this alone can clear her suspicions, plus Yin Qiu's deduction in the daytime, it can basically prove that Lu Huaiwei was framed by someone, but although this is a good thing, But the real spy is still hiding in the dark safely, and she doesn't even leave any clues for people to follow.

This person is really too insidious, with great means.

"Then is it possible that this medicine will not leave traces after people take it?" Ji Wanshu thought for a moment and asked, "I'm not questioning your medical skills, but I just think of the poison in Yin Qiu's body, so That’s why there’s this question.”

Elder Xu stroked his beard, paused and said: "Impossible, this is two different things, the poison outside the pass is carefully cultivated by the Gu people, and there are many kinds. When the poison enters the human body, it is what people eat, it will be eaten." What to eat, if there is no manipulation by the Gu person, it will not take the initiative to harm the person affected by the Gu, so even if a famous doctor diagnoses your pulse, he will not be able to detect the existence of the Gu poison. I just said it very clearly, If you want to go against the sky, you have to pay the price, unless she is drinking some miraculous medicine refined by the gods of Daluo. But where did the gods come from in this world? It's just nonsense."

Yin Qiudao: "That is to say, Senior Sister Lu has never taken any anti-aging drugs. Her current appearance is her true appearance."

Elder Xu nodded and sighed softly: "That's right. This time, I really wronged a good man."

When Yin Qiu heard this, a deep sense of guilt suddenly emerged in his heart. Ji Wanshu looked at the medical pavilion from a distance, showing unbearable expression on his face. The two bid farewell to Elder Xu. They wanted to go in and visit Lu Huaiwei, but considering Lu Huaiwei At this time, he was not out of danger, so it was inconvenient to disturb him, and he left this place accordingly.

Today's weather is good, there is no snow falling at night, it is not as cold as usual, but after listening to Elder Xu's words, Yin Qiu and Ji Wanshu feel as if they are in an ice cellar, with a chill that penetrates the bone marrow.

Lu Huaiwei is not a spy, she was plotted against.

The scene of Lu Huaiwei drawing his sword and committing suicide flashed before his eyes, Ji Wanshu's heart ached, he stopped for a moment, and said hoarsely: "We all wronged her."

Yin Qiu's eyes became hot, and she felt pain in her chest from the hotness of the two white jade earrings in her bosom. She choked up a few times, and sighed: "Senior sister, don't blame yourself, I just hate that Xiaozuo is too insidious and cunning, we all fucked her Sure enough, Senior Sister Lu...will get better."

Ji Wanshu showed pain on her face, suppressed all kinds of emotions in her heart, and said in a dumb moment: "I have been in the palace for so many years, and I only have one friend, Huaiwei." She rarely confides in others, but at this moment she can't help it Zhu Chong Yinqiu confided, "After Wen Zhaoyu returned to the Ziwei Sect, I was alone and couldn't stay in Jingyue Peak. I slept in the observatory every day and didn't have contact with anyone. It was Huaiwei who invited me to Wugui Peak. , she is obedient to me, considerate and caring, she can tolerate my moody temper, and never gets angry with me, even if I get angry with her because of other things, she doesn't take it to heart at all. She treats me with sincerity and doesn't care about anything in return, but I...but I doubt her, I think she is a spy..."

Listening to her words, Yin Qiu felt as if being fried in a frying pan, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.

Why is she not like this?

During these years in the palace, except for Man Jiangxue, although Yin Qiu has many close friends, there are very few people who can be called friends. Most of them are like Ji Wanshu who don't have many personal relationships, and the relationship is just ordinary teachers and sisters. people.

However, Lu Huaiwei is different. Ever since she first met Yin Qiu that year, she has loved and cared for Yin Qiu very much. In the next few years, although she has been outside the palace for a long time and did not meet Yin Qiu often, she often Miss her.In the past two years, Yin Qiu has been going down the mountain to experience a lot, and has received a lot of care from Lu Huaiwei. Compared with the brothers and sisters in the palace who can meet every day, Yin Qiu has a better impression of Lu Huaiwei who gathers less and leaves more.

Including Yin Qiu's birthday every year, Lu Huaiwei also kept it in mind. For example, this year, she specially prepared a birthday gift for Yin Qiu in Jincheng.You know, this year Yunhua Palace is not going well, there are constant turmoil, everyone has their own things to be busy, if it is not someone who is cherished in the heart, who will specially remember whose birthday?

Not to mention that Yin Qiu himself forgot about this, even Fu Xiang did the same. Fu Xiang used to send letters and gifts to Yin Qiu on time every year, and he never forgot. , I didn't think of it for the first time, but Lu Huaiwei remembered it, and Lu Huaiwei didn't forget it.

Even before she chose to die, she said that she would not hold grudges against anyone, and that everything was done to find out the spy in the palace, and she could understand everything.

Thinking about these things, Yin Qiu felt extremely guilty. She accompanied Ji Wanshu in silence, and couldn't find anything to comfort her at the moment. The two stopped for a while in the cold wind, and Ji Wan straightened her back inadvertently. , coldly said: "This matter is not over... I must catch that person, and I will tear her to pieces!"

She held the saber tightly, with strong anger in her eyes. Yin Qiu looked at Ji Wanshu, and the lake in her heart was also swaying with Ji Wanshu. She looked firm and said, "Since Senior Sister Lu has never been convinced If there is no medicine, then we will report this matter to the sect master and uncle immediately."

"I'm going to find the head, you go to Jingyue Peak," Ji Wanshu gritted his teeth, "No matter what happens tonight, I will tell the head to open the grave to find the sword!"

·

Man Jiangxue held the lamp, and sat in front of the short feet to play chess with Wen Chaoyu.

The night was dark, and the maple trees in the courtyard were all black and deserted. There were no disciples accompanying Shen Xingdian, and only three people sat around the table. Being lonely, like a no-man's land isolated from the world.

Xue Tan added a few pieces of charcoal to the stove, looked outside the hall and said, "Why haven't Miss Yin and Miss Ji come back? It's getting dark."

Wen Chaoyu curled his fingers holding the chess piece, but it still fell down, and said, "Then why don't you go to the door to watch? If someone shows up, you should yell quickly so that I can escape in time."

Xue Tan was speechless, but obediently went to the door and squatted down. Wen Chaoyu was absent-minded and upset. She was also a stinky chess basket and was not proficient in chess. There is no way to get through, and there is nowhere to settle.

"You lost." Man Jiangxue withdrew his hand and took a sip of tea.

Wen Chaoyu blamed himself for being bored, and slapped the chess game that had already been decided into chaos, saying: "No, no, no, what time is this, I don't have the leisure to play chess with you."

Man Jiangxue said: "Didn't you want to play chess?"

Wen Zhaoyu choked, and gulped down two mouthfuls of tea: "That was before! I'm not in the mood right now, I'm very annoying."

Man Jiangxue looked at her, picked up the tongs on the side and stirred the charcoal in the stove, and said, "If you really have no face to see Wanshu, go back to your room as soon as possible."

Wen Zhaoyu was unhappy when he heard this: "What do you mean I have no face to see her? I haven't done anything wrong."

Man Jiangxue said: "Then what are you afraid of her doing?"

Wen Chaoyu frowned, trying not to let himself think about Ji Wanshu, and said, "I'm not afraid of her, I'm... feel embarrassed."

"What's embarrassing?" Man Jiangxue picked up the chess pieces one by one, "You clearly want to see her very much, just pretending."

Wen Zhaoyu looked surprised: "Me? Want to see her?" She pointed to her face, "Where did you see that?"

Man Jiangxue glanced at her, and said calmly: "If you really don't want to see her, you should hide in the room immediately when you come back. You don't have to wait here, and use chess as an excuse to pass the time." After she finished speaking, she commented again, "Playing chess with you is a kind of torture to me."

Wen Chaoyu said: "That's because I'm not good at chess! Do you have the ability to pick someone you're not good at and compare with me?"

Man Jiangxue thought about it: "I seem to..."

Wen Zhaoyu looked at her.

Man Jiangxue said: "I don't seem to be bad at anything."

Wen Chaoyu: "..."

Wen Chaoyu: "You can brag, can you cook? Can you do laundry? Can you chop wood and make a fire to dry the quilt? You are a prudish person who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world. No one is waiting for you. You don't even know how to wake up from sleep!"

Man Jiangxue said: "In terms of cooking, I'm indeed unfamiliar, but it's not impossible. Besides, I don't live with you. What's the point of comparing with you?"

Wen Chaoyu gave her a blank look: "You are lucky to meet such a virtuous girl as Yin Qiu, who can go to the hall and the kitchen, and serve you like an old man. If I were Yin Qiu, I would kick you !"

Man Jiangxue laughed: "I can do all these things, but Xiaoqiu won't let me touch them. If you are jealous, you can ask Wanshu to treat you like this."

Wen Chaoyu choked speechlessly, and after a moment of silence, he muttered: "If she doesn't hack me to death, she will show mercy, and I expect her to wash and cook for me?"

Man Jiangxue said: "That's your bad luck."

Wen Chaoyu's conversations with her have always been difficult to please. Man Jiangxue's mouth either does not speak, or if she does speak, everything will crush her to death. Wen Chaoyu scoffed, too lazy to make fun of herself. Xue Tan shouted at the door: "Guardian——"

Wen Zhaoyu immediately bounced off the futon.

Xue Tan continued: "Miss Yin is back!"

Wen Chaoyu froze, grinding his teeth and said, "Only Miss Yin?"

Xue Tan said, "Exactly!"

Wen Chaoyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and met Man Jiangxue's playful gaze from the side, and she moved her hands and feet in embarrassment.Soon, Yin Qiu went up the steps and entered the corridor, and Man Jiangxue got up to meet her, asking, "How is Huaiwei's place?"

Before Yin Qiu could reply, her eyes turned red. She shook her head and smiled wryly, "Elder Xu said that Senior Sister Lu has never taken the medicine that Uncle Wen mentioned."

Hearing this, the two people in the room showed different expressions.

Wen Chaoyu was naturally surprised and said: "She hasn't taken any medicine? Why... Could it be that she was really wronged?"

Yin Qiu nodded and replied: "Elder Xu said that if you want to use drugs to forcefully delay aging, you will have to pay a price. Even if the appearance remains youthful, the inside will be affected. It is impossible to leave no traces, but Except for the tuberculosis caused by the wind and cold and the sword wound caused by suicide, Senior Sister Lu is no different from ordinary people, and there is no sign of taking medicine."

Man Jiangxue thought about it for a while, and asked her, "Did you tell the senior sister in charge?"

Yin Qiu said: "Senior Sister Ji has already gone to the Mingguang Palace, and the head of the sect should have known about it by now."

"That's too bad, this time I really fell for the trick," Wen Chaoyu frowned, "It seems that your speculations in the daytime are true. Xiaoqi is disguised as Lu Huaiwei. She has been doing it for many years. Constructed this to deceive all of us."

Yin Qiu sighed, and said dejectedly: "For the present plan, the only way is to open the grave to find the sword. As long as Nangong Min is willing to tell who the real Xiao Qi is, there is still room for turning things around."

"What I'm afraid of is that she will tease us," Wen Chaoyu said, "and more importantly, what if even Nangong Min doesn't know who Xiao Qi is?"

"She must know," Man Jiangxue said, "otherwise I will take you away secretly, and she will never be so calm. As the head sister said before, she is not worried about you exposing Xiao Qi at all, because you saw Xiao Qi, originally a fake."

Wen Chaoyu couldn't help saying angrily: "Anyway, I'm the one being used as a gun! Nangong Min is really not a thing! This time, I really don't want to go back to the Ziwei sect!"

Hearing this, Xue Tan immediately nodded at the door, "Guardian! Then you have to keep your word!"

"Senior Sister Ji said that she must persuade the head to go to the observatory to find the holy sword." Yin Qiu wiped his eyes, looked at Man Jiangxue and said, "This is not a small matter for the head, and she also It's very embarrassing. Uncle, let's go over and have a look quickly, so as not to cause trouble between Senior Sister Ji and the sect leader."

Man Jiangxue answered "Okay", raised her hand and patted Yin Qiu's head, and they left Jingyue Peak immediately and went back to Mingguang Palace.

When they arrived, Ji Wanshu was kneeling in the hall, while Xie Yijun was pacing back and forth. The faces of both of them were not very good-looking, obviously there had been some quarrel.

Seeing Man Jiangxue and others coming, Xie Yijun said with a complex expression: "This time, the water really rushed into the Dragon King Temple, and my family beat my own family. Huai Wei is innocent. She was forced to such a situation. What should I do?" ? My hair is going to turn gray."

Yin Qiu helped Ji Wanshu up from the ground, and Man Jiangxue said bluntly: "Then we should get the real Xiaoqi out as soon as possible, so that we can be worthy of the wronged Huaiwei suffered."

Xie Yijun sighed again and again, and said in a deep voice: "I know what you want to say, but...but that is the tomb of the ancestors, how can I ask someone to dig it out? I can't open this mouth no matter what."

Seeing that she was still hesitating at this moment, Wen Chaoyu said impatiently: "Don't look forward and backward, can you? Human lives are all at stake! What is more important than human life? If Xiao Qi doesn't find out for a day, go More people will die in the future, don't forget who she is really going to deal with, isn't it just a pile of tombs? No one is really buried in it, the real cemetery is in Tianchi, you masters I slept soundly in Tianchi, hurry up and dig it! It’s really long-winded!"

By this time Xie Yijun was no longer in the mood to argue with her, and he didn't even get angry when he heard the words, he was just thinking silently.

Even the Clothes Tomb is the grave of the ancestors. As the head of the sect, Xie Yijun, it is understandable for her to be undecided, and everyone quieted down, letting Xie Yijun think carefully, but after a long time, she still did not want to speak. The meaning of the promise, Wen Zhaoyu who was waiting couldn't help urging: "Whether to dig or not, you can say something! If it doesn't work, I will be the villain. I am not from your Yunhua Palace, and I don't have any psychological burden. , let alone be afraid of being scolded by others, I will take it as a good deed and fulfill the benevolence and morality of you disciples and grandchildren!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the hall. Seeing this, Ji Wanshu hurriedly followed Wen Zhaoyu's footsteps. Xie Yijun turned pale, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait, wait a minute!"

Wen Chaoyu and Ji Wanshu stopped at the same time, turned to look at her.

Xie Yijun looked at Yin Qiu, then at Man Jiangxue, finally made up his mind, and said in a low voice, "Let's sneak in!"
