The stove was steaming hot and blurred his vision. Lu Mingshu couldn't figure it out for a moment. What did Xie Lianzhen mean by saying this?
After saying this, Xie Lianzhen stopped talking and silently shabu shabu and drank a little wine.
After a long quiet time, he suddenly said, "It seems that there is no place for me to use here."
Lu Mingshu paused: "You are leaving?"
He smiled: "Why, I can't bear to bear it? I wanted to drive me away before!"
"I don't mean that," she whispered.
Xie Lianzhen put down the bowls and chopsticks, drank another cup, and then said, "Just you said, as Lianzhen Star Lord, I always stay in Jiuyao Palace, I have my own things to do."
"……Feel sorry."
Xie Lianzhen looked at her: "You know what I want to hear is not an apology."
“…”
Xie Lianzhen smiled bitterly: "Hey, I can't say something nice... Forget it, I'm used to it."
Lu Mingshu put down his wine glass, took out a small package from the mustard sack and handed it over.
"What's this?" Xie Lianzhen glanced at it.
"A gift before parting."
"Oh, I actually gave me a gift, so I won't waste this trip." Xie Lianzhen happily picked up the package, but saw a few books inside, "Uh..."
"The rest are all empty." But Lu Mingshu said, "Although you have the support of a princess, you still have to rely on yourself in the end. Take these skills back and think about them, and you should be able to do your tricks."
Xie Lianzhen picked out a knife book and looked at her squintly: "This book is also my trick?"
He was amused by his sour tone, and Lu Mingshu picked up the corner of his mouth: "Isn't that also you?"
"How is that the same?" Xie Lianzhen was confident.
Unfortunately, she was not the sect leader of the Qizhen Temple, so she immediately tore him up without hesitation: "Part of your combat power comes from him. If he doesn't care what consequences he will have, I don't need to say."
"..." Xie Lianzhen suddenly became angry and muttered, "I knew that you like him more than me."
Lu Mingshu pulled the corners of his mouth and refused to argue with him.
After a sudden drink, Xie Lianzhen said, "I also have a farewell gift."
Lu Mingshu was carrying the leeks in the bowl.
But he heard him say, "It's not something, but two news."
Lu Mingshu raised his eyebrows.
"Remember Lao Yao?"
Can you forget nonsense?
Xie Lianzhen continued: "Where did you meet a mother-in-law in Yao Lao, right?"
Lu Mingshu's movements were paused.
"That mother-in-law recognizes your master."
She put down her chopsticks: "What the hell do you want to say?"
Xie Lianzhen looked at her with a smile, and finally felt that she had taken back the initiative: "That mother-in-law has an agreement with you that if she escapes from Yao Lao safely, she will tell you about your master. However, we were sent to the world of the Holy King, and there was no time for us to be sent."
"so what?"
"Do you think that mother-in-law is dead? No, they were taken away by the princess."
Lu Mingshu looked solemn and stood up: "Tell me quickly!" He was almost like going up to grab his collar.
Xie Lianzhen raised her hand: "Okay, okay, I'll say immediately, don't be excited." Seeing Lu Mingshu sitting back, he said, "I've come back to meet that mother-in-law and asked about it in detail. She said that she did meet your master in Beiming back then. Calculate the time, it was thirty-eight years ago."
Thirty-eight years ago, that was the year when the master disappeared!
"Did the master disappear in Beiming?"
"I don't know." Xie Lianzhen said, "Because when she was separated from your master, your master was fine."
"It's just this news?"
"Of course it's more than that. Of course I do everything." Xie Lianzhen praised himself and took out a map and a booklet from his arms.
Lu Mingshu couldn't wait to take it: "This is..."
"The map is the known route your master passed by. The circle is where she lost her last trace. The booklet records her mother-in-law's confession, and other evidence we found. The mother-in-law said that before leaving, your master said that she was worried about her disciple and was going to return to the master's sect."
The booklet is not thick, only about twenty pages. Lu Mingshu quickly finished it and went to look at the map again.
The Master’s route back then was similar to hers. He went to Zhongzhou first, then turned to Beiming, from east to west, and finally lost his trace in Qinglinzhou at the west end.
If you want to return to the sect...
Lu Mingshu paused his fingers.
"Yinshan..." She read these two words gently.
Xie Lianzhen's eyes were slightly deeper and he nodded: "If your master takes a shortcut, you are very likely to pass by Yinshan."
Beiming and Xichuan are not bordered by Xichuan. From Qinglin Prefecture to Xichuan, you either go around for a short distance, pass through Zhongzhou through water, or cross Yinshan.
But because Yinshan was the ancient battlefield between the two people and the barbarians, the terrain was dangerous and desolate, with ferocious beasts rampant, and barbarians appeared, most people would detour Zhongzhou instead of choosing to cross Yinshan.
However, her master was already out of his way back then. According to what his master said, she was the top in the entire sect. At that time, Grandmaster Xiang was still in power, and Jiuyao Palace could not be called a decline, and the master of the sect was still known as Guxia. It was not surprising that the master chose to take a shortcut to Xichuan.
"I have pondered your master's route many times. There are only two possibilities for her disappearance. First, she was caught in an unknown tributary of the Ming River, and second, it is Yinshan Mountain. The first possibility is not high, because your master has a detailed map in his hand. Since she plans to go back, it is unlikely that she will go to an unknown area. So..."
"She is likely to be missing in Yinshan."
Xie Lianzhen nodded: "This is just an explanation, why you can't find any clues."
Yes, the entire Jiuyao Palace, including the master, never thought that the master would disappear in Yinshan. When the master entered the world, he chose to travel to Beiming. He also wanted to pursue the master's traces, but the result was...
"I'll tell you first. I'm telling you this. I believe you can control it. The place in Yinshan is unusual. Don't just think you are strong and you just bump into it."
Lu Mingshu raised his head: "Your father died in Yinshan, right?"
Xie Lianzhen was silent. Yinshan was also a special place for him. The tragedy of his birth began in Yinshan. If his father had not died in Yinshan, his mother would not have to work so hard, and he would not have to...
Lu Mingshu nodded: "I understand."
Xie Lianzhen sighed: "I regret telling you this."
"Even if you don't say it, I'll check it."
"But it's not that easy for you to find out."
Lu Mingshu smiled faintly and said nothing.
"By the way, what's the other news you said?"
He just said two news, the first one was so shocked, and I wonder how amazing the second one would be.
