Bu Gai and Su Lan had the same temperament - they were impatient and drove the carriage at such a fast speed that Zhu Ying almost fell apart from the shock. She was about to curse, but Bu Gai slowed down and was surprised.
"Sir, a carriage stopped in front of the Xu family's mausoleum!"
Xu Mubai also felt strange. He opened the curtain and looked outside. He murmured, "Who could it be?"
Zhu Ying also poked her head out from beside him. The carriage was not fancy, it was the kind of carriage you could hire on the street for a little money, but the horses pulling the carriage were different. The driver was not simple either, with bright eyes.
Youshen is not like an ordinary coachman.
Zhu Ying suddenly became interested and said: "Senior nephew, what kind of big shot is coming to pay homage to senior brother?"
Xu Mubai was still confused and said: "When my father went to the funeral, no one came to see him off, so my nephew really doesn't know who it will be? How can my uncle know that he will be a big shot?"
Zhu Ying pointed to the horse pulling the cart and said: "Look at that horse, it is fat and strong, its limbs are evenly long, and there is a circle of white hair on its four legs, and there is not a hair of any color. This is Si You
The country’s famous horse is priceless, and this is a tribute horse!”
Xu Mubai was startled and said, "You mean..."
"If you are not a relative of the emperor, at least you are a popular person in front of the emperor."
Zhu Ying was a little excited, which meant that she had a way to enter the palace, and the smile at the corner of her mouth widened unconsciously.
Bu Gai stopped the carriage, and the coachman jumped out of the carriage and stopped in front of their carriage. He said seriously: "My wife is worshiping Mr. Xu, please come back!"
Zhu Ying was the first to jump off the carriage, walked up to her with a smile and asked, "Your wife can worship you, but we can't? Do you know who we are?"
The driver said forcefully: "No matter who you are, please come back!"
Zhu Ying was not willing to go back easily. She said to Xu Mubai in the tone of an elder: "Senior nephew, if someone comes to pay homage to my senior brother, we cannot lose the courtesy of the master and must thank him."
Xu Mubai didn't say anything. Since the other party didn't want to be disturbed, he also deliberately avoided it.
The coachman was slightly stunned when he heard their conversation. Zhu Ying took advantage of his daze and came up behind him and stepped on the steps to the cemetery.
Xu Mubai said anxiously: "Uncle Master——Uncle Master——"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man and a woman came down the stairs. The one walking in front was a woman wearing a blue floral shirt. The village woman's clothes could not hide her graceful figure, and her face was covered with thin sand.
Her face can't be clearly seen, but she can see a pair of charming and self-contained beautiful eyes. Her eyes are so beautiful and her appearance is definitely not ugly. However, the woman must be older, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes show her age.
Passed away; behind the beautiful woman was a middle-aged man with a fair face and no beard, holding a handkerchief and constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead.
The beautiful woman saw the stranger's face change slightly and quickly turned around. She didn't want to reveal her whereabouts, which aroused Zhu Ying's interest even more.
The middle-aged man alertly ran in front of the beautiful woman to block her figure. He shouted at the coachman and asked, "What's going on?"
Xu Mubai quickly stepped forward and bowed. He could not be rude to his father's old friend.
"Junior Xu Mubai is being polite. He bumped into two elders. Please forgive me!"
The beautiful woman was surprised when she heard Xu Mubai introduce herself to her family and said: "Are you Xu Changqing's legitimate son?"
Xu Mubai said gently: "Exactly!"
The beautiful woman's eyes were filled with relief, and the corners of her eyes were moist.
Zhu Ying asked enthusiastically: "I am Xu Changqing's junior sister, who are you two..."
The middle-aged man looked at the beautiful woman, who raised her hand. The middle-aged man said: "Doctor Xu is kind to our family master. When he passed by this place, he specially came to burn incense. Now that his heart has been conveyed, it's time for us to leave!"
His voice was slightly shrill, which seemed very harsh in the empty forest.
Xu Mubai saw that the other party deliberately concealed his identity, and he did not want to force others. He pulled Zhu Ying's sleeve and said: "Uncle Master——"
Zhu Ying could only step aside and get out of the way.
The woman passed by them with her sleeves held up, her face half-hidden.
How could Zhu Ying let them go so easily? His eyes never left the woman. Although the woman protected herself very tightly, she still caught the trace of green and black aura between her eyebrows. She was the god of medicine - Lu Zhongxu's
Proud disciple, no illness can escape her piercing eyes.
Zhu Ying blocked her way.
"Madam, please stay!"
The lady was startled and took a step back. Her heels hit the stone steps and she fell backwards. Zhu Ying reached out to help her.
Xu Mubai was afraid that Zhu Ying would do something rude and quickly shouted: "Uncle Master——"
Zhu Ying smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass my senior brother's old friend. By the way, if my wife feels unwell, she can come to Muben Hall to find my senior nephew. He should be able to relieve my wife's pain."
After hearing this, the woman's delicate body trembled. Xu Mubai also looked at Madam Mei's cheek again. He said cautiously: "Madam, your complexion is..."
The middle-aged man was very excited. He walked up to Xu Mubai, took his hand and said, "Brother, what did you see?"
Xu Mubai wasn't sure, so he looked to Zhu Ying for confirmation.
"Junior needs to take further pulse to confirm!"
The middle-aged man looked happy and looked at the woman. The beautiful woman hesitated for a moment and then shook her head gently. She said meaningfully: "It's getting late!"
The beautiful lady walked down the steps slowly, and the middle-aged man was anxious but did not dare to disobey and followed helplessly.
Zhu Ying stared at Mrs. Mei's back and asked, "Is my senior brother's death related to your poisoning?"
Zhu Ying's words made Mrs. Mei pause again, but she got on the carriage and drove away without saying a word. However, although Mrs. Mei didn't say anything, her momentary pause confirmed the answer in Zhu Ying's heart.
Xu Mubai wanted to catch up and ask clearly, but Zhu Ying stopped him. Xu Mubai said anxiously: "Uncle Master——"
Zhu Ying said: "If she doesn't want to say it now, it's useless for you to force her. She will definitely come to you."
Xu Mubai asked: "Why?"
Zhu Ying said: "I checked her pulse when I pulled her just now. She has been poisoned by love. If she wants to get rid of the poison, she will definitely come to you."
Xu Mubai asked in confusion: "Then why is she now..."
Zhu Ying said: "She is from the palace!"
Xu Mubai was shocked and said: "From the palace?"
Zhu Ying nodded firmly.
"The horse is a tribute horse. Although the lady is dressed in coarse cloth, she can't hide her nobility. She is smeared with golden osmanthus powder, which is specially used by the royal family and nobles. The man next to her walks with his waist twisted.
He raised his tail and spoke in a sharp voice, something only a father-in-law in the palace can do. If senior brother's death is really related to the royal family, it will not be simple, and we may be killed at any time. "
Xu Mubai shook his head and said, "I have checked my father's body and there is nothing suspicious about it."
Zhu Ying said: "Do you know how the love Gu in her will die?"
Xu Mubai shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
Zhu Ying said: "Every full moon day, her chest hurts as if it were pricked by thousands of needles, but the imperial doctor could only diagnose her as having angina pectoris. You can see that her poisoning has been very deep."
Xu Mubai's face turned pale and he said: "Uncle Master, my father..."
Zhu Ying said: "You need to check this!"
Xu Mubai knelt down on the ground with a pop and said, "How should my nephew investigate? I hope my uncle can give me some clear directions!"
Zhu Ying said: "Enter the palace!"
She said in her mind: You have to work harder, kid.
"Enter the palace?" Xu Mubai asked, "This palace is not something we ordinary people can enter just by asking!"
Zhu Ying smiled confidently.
"That 'ma'am' will definitely come to you!"
"Her?" Xu Mubai looked towards the direction where the carriage disappeared, "But my nephew doesn't know how to detoxify this poison?"
Zhu Ying said: "You are lucky, the antidote is on Black Dog Mountain."
"Black Dog Mountain?" Xu Mubai's face showed a little panic, "Black Dog Mountain three miles away from here? That is an unknown place. Uncle Master cannot go there."
Zhu Ying leaned towards him and said, "Don't you dare to go?"
Xu Mubai's face straightened up and he said: "Go, I will go to all the mountains of swords and seas of fire!"
Zhu Ying smiled and said: "Let Bu Gai come with me. Everyone is already here. You can go and put incense on senior brother's grave for me and decorate his grave so that he won't blame me."
Seeing that Zhu Ying had made up his mind, Xu Mubai agreed. Bu Gai took the melons, fruits, candles and ingots out of the car, and then took Zhu Ying to Black Dog Mountain.
Just like its name, Black Dog Mountain is famous for its shape like a black dog eclipsing the moon when viewed from a distance.
Although this mountain looks green from a distance, with clear spring water and pleasant scenery, it has a bad reputation. The black dog eclipsing the moon originally represents ominousness, but there is also a strange tree with a red trunk growing on the mountain.
People call it the King of Hell tree.
The King of Hell tree is a strange tree, extremely rare. It likes shade and grows on the back of the mountain. When the bark is cut, red liquid will flow out. The color is as bright as human blood, so the world thinks it is the tree of the devil and considers it to be the tree of evil.
It is the passage between the human world and hell. Evil spirits will bring disasters to the human world through the Yama tree. It is said that a plague was spread here ten years ago. Everyone who visited this mountain was infected and died, and even the birds in the sky were killed.
Can fly over this mountain.
From then on, no one dared to set foot on this mountain. Even Heigou Village, the village closest to the mountain, suffered from the disaster, and the people in the village were regarded as unknown people and ostracized.
Those who are afraid of this tree are ignorant people. Zhu Ying knows the value of this tree. The Yama tree is full of treasures and is an indispensable material for our sect to develop secret medicine. The master's poison "King of Hell" dominates the Chinese mainland.
, the first-hand explanation of "Tears of the King of Hell" comes from here. It is precisely for this reason that the master used the theory of ghosts and gods to scare away the villagers and prevent them from destroying the King of Hell tree. This is also the reason why Zhu Ying is unwilling to bring Xu Mubai with him.
The sap of the Yama tree is colorless and odorless, and highly toxic. It can be used to prepare poisons with various properties. This is the "King of Hell's Smile"; the tree trunk can secrete a kind of resin (but the secretion is too slow, and it can only secrete the nail every three years).
Covering such a large piece of glue stone (the quantity is extremely rare), the color is bright red, like tears condensed by blood. The blood-red glue stone is soaked in water and mixed with pills made from the stamens of lotus such as Wenjun Buddha Dust, which blooms in summer in Shangyouguo.
It has the effect of neutralizing all kinds of poisons, which is the "King of Hell's Smile"; its newly grown buds are picked and mashed and added with ointment made of Bletilla striata, which can promote muscle growth and beautify the skin. It is a holy product for skin care and treatment of knife wounds.
Ying discovered it, and she called the ointment "Fei Zixiao".
The master also laughed at her for doing useless things.
This was also the purpose of Master coming to Biancheng. He first wanted to collect medicinal materials, and his son brought her back to reunite with her mother and younger brother. But after her mother passed away when she was five years old, she never returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion even after she set foot in Biancheng.
I never saw my brother again.
I wonder how her brother is doing now? It was because of him that she wanted so much to get a divorce note from Zhao Yu... This chapter has been completed!
