Chapter 86 Shimen Gathering(1/2)
Dong Li returned to Shimen, handed the box to Gu Qingyan, and conveyed the words of Xu Shaolin, Zong Yue and Baili Mo to Nan Ke and Xi Jue.
After hearing this, Gu Qingyan widened her eyes and asked, "Brother really said that?"
"yes."
"Hehe, I knew it." Gu Qingyan said.
Donglinan, Kexijue and the others looked at each other and said to Gu Qingyan, "Thank you, Master."
Gu Qingyan waved her hand and opened the brocade box. There were neatly stacked silver ingots inside. Gu Qingyan tipped the box over and the silver ingots rolled on the table.
Just listen to Gu Qingyan say: "The owner of the valley is sitting in the village today!"
After three seconds of silence, there was an outburst of cheers. Only then did Dongli realize why Xu Shaolin didn't speak up directly and instead went through Gu Qingyan. Because in this way, everyone would be happiest and best remember this good thing.
After playing all afternoon, news came from the small kitchen that dinner was ready. Everyone went to help, and Gu Qingyan called Beiming.
"What are your orders, Master?"
"Prepare one copy first, and come with me to the stone house." Gu Qing said.
"yes."
Beiming left first, prepared a meal one by one, and took a small pot of wine to meet Gu Qingyan in front of the stone house.
Fufeng was still guarding the stone house secretly. After Gu Qingyan entered, Beiming said to Fufeng: "I brought two people here to replace you. The master is at Shimen today. You also have a day off and we will leave together later."
"Yes, thank you sir."
Gu Qingyan entered the stone house, arranged everything, and sat across from the old ghost.
"Yesterday, I was with my parents, and my master and several brothers were with me. It was a very happy thing." Gu Qingyan said.
The old ghost picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine. After all, he couldn't understand what Gu Qingyan said.
"Then I remembered you. I didn't know you before, so I naturally ignored you. Now that I know, I can't bear it."
Gu Qingyan talked about the old ghost's worries. He was still numb if he didn't mention them before, but since he mentioned his wife and daughter to Gu Qingyan, the longing in his heart has resurfaced.
"Thank you, Master, for remembering me," the old ghost said.
Gu Qingyan shook her head: "Everyone has his own destiny, and I can't do anything else. I shouldn't let you think about the past anymore. This is better for you and me. But there are some things I still want to know."
"Master, just say it."
Over the years, he also wondered if he was really numb and if he could really let go of the past.
"Did your wife and daughter pass away in that backlash?" Gu Qingyan remembered her father mentioning it to her.
The old ghost nodded: "In that backlash, it was probably the innocent family members who suffered."
"How did you confirm that it was in my father's hands?" Gu Qingyan asked.
The old ghost replied: "Although I have been captured, I still have a certain degree of freedom. In addition, I need to remove the poison at that time, so I can move within the sight of Mr. Gu in that area."
"I watched my wife die before my eyes. My method of removing the poison did not work on her."
"What about your daughter?"
"She was lying on the bed not far away. She had no sound. I tried snorting and she was out of breath..."
The old ghost's voice was ethereal, and Gu Qingyan seemed to see those words floating in the air.
"Dead people cannot be resurrected, but there are also centipede insects that are dead but not stiff." Gu Qingyan said.
The old ghost naturally knew that Gu Qingyan was talking about the dead but not stiff insect.
"Back then, Situ Haoyang was just a five or six-year-old child." The old ghost took the initiative to mention Situ Haoyang.
During those five or six years, he could be regarded as someone who watched Situ Haoyang grow up.
"What do you think a five- or six-year-old child will remember?"
Gu Qingyan didn't know what a five or six-year-old child would remember, but she knew what an eight or nine-year-old child would remember.
Lao Gui shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it was the various wails that night, or maybe it was the vicious instructions from my father's generation."
In this way, Situ Haoyang seemed not much better than her, Gu Qingyan. At this moment, Gu Qingyan was balanced.
"By the way, what happened to the fragrant powder Beiming brought last time?"
"I can confirm that there is indeed a poisonous introduction to the poison inside."
"How long will it take for it to take effect?"
"The amount in the fragrant powder is small. If there is no other way, it will take three months to actually carry out the poison."
Three months later, Gu Qingyan thought about the time and suddenly sneered, Situ Haoyang was more calculating than her and had taken this step long ago.
Three months is most likely the time when they set off for Biluo Palace.
"After being infected by the poisonous insect, doesn't the host need to be kept with you for observation?" Gu Qingyan asked.
She didn't know how far Situ Haoyang had already thought, so she could only think as much as possible.
The old ghost thought for a while and said: "I can't say with complete certainty, but generally the purpose of attracting the poisonous insects is not only to maximize the effect of the poisonous insects, but also to facilitate the control of the host. As for whether close observation is needed, I can't say
allow."
Gu Qingyan sighed, there were still things that were beyond her control. Now she just hoped that Su Tanxue would listen to Han Yan and change the spices.
"Is there an antidote?"
The old ghost shook his head: "This thing must not be poisonous. It will not have any effect if it does not come into contact with a specific Gu insect, so there is nothing to solve it."
"Understood."
"I wonder where the master got this thing from."
Gu Qingyan thought for a while and said: "Youzhutang."
The only one who followed Situ Haoyang and had a chance was Zhao Qiyue from Youzhutang, so excluding Su Tanxue, it is correct to say that the source of this object is Youzhutang.
"Then Master can rest assured."
"how do I say this?"
"There are some differences between Youzhu Hall and Youming Hall."
"What's different?" Since the old ghost took the initiative to ask, Gu Qingyan also asked.
"Although Youzhutang and Youmingtang are both related to the Situ family, Youzhutang did not advocate forced restoration of the country in the early days and valued peace, so its methods can be said to be less villainous.
.”
Youzhutang, Youmingtang and the Situ family are related? Gu Qingyan confirmed that she heard correctly.
"The Netherworld Hall is different. They always take the lead in fighting, so sometimes they have some tricks."
When the old ghost said this, Gu Qingyan remembered the words of those people in Bugui City. Wasn't it the person who instigated them, An Jing from Netherworld Hall?
Thinking of this name, Gu Qingyan glanced at the old ghost with complicated eyes, but the old ghost didn't feel anything.
"Then you reassure me?"
"If these things come from Youzhutang, master, you can rest assured that as long as you don't come into contact with Gu insects, your life will not be in danger."
As he said that, the old ghost paused, looked at Gu Qingyan, and then said: "The dose is not much. This thing is used as incense, but it does have some effect."
"What does it do?"
"It can regulate the body and regulate the inner breath."
Gu Qingyan somewhat understood that Su Tanxue could use this powder to condition her body. No wonder she sometimes felt that Su Tanxue's complexion and energy were a little bit better than when they first met.
Variety.
Situ Haoyang was really willing to work hard on Su Tanxue and willing to wait.
Seeing that the time was almost up and Gu Qingyan was about to leave, the old ghost took Gu Qingyan to take a look at the condition of the Gu insects.
The Gu worm was well raised by the old ghost and became much stronger. Its tentacles stretched out. The old ghost said that it recognized Gu Qingyan, and it would only do this if Gu Qingyan came into contact with it.
Gu Qingyan smiled, it would be best to be able to use it for her. She took a closer look and saw a thin piece on the back of the Gu insect: "What is this?"
"Go back to my master, it's time to grow wings."
"Isn't it time to put it in something else?"
"It's ready, Master, don't worry."
Gu Qingyan nodded and walked out of the stone house. The old ghost looked at Gu Qingyan's leaving figure, looked at the table of food again, and smiled.
Although Beiming and Fufeng had returned to the open space after Gu Qingyan, the lights had been lit and the food and drinks were served, and they were waiting for Gu Qingyan and the others to come over.
So as soon as the three people sat down at the table, the whole place immediately became lively again. Gu Qingyan's small wine glass was replaced by a glass cup, and the color of the wine could be clearly seen.
Gu Qingyan picked up one, and Dongqing asked: "Master, is it really okay to drink?"
Gu Qingyan glanced over and signaled him not to spoil the fun. Yesterday, under Zong Yue's nose, she couldn't enjoy herself to the fullest. Later, she was disturbed by Eunuch Guo, and she hasn't touched him since.
It was finally today that no one would bother him. Gu Qingyan looked at Nanke next to him and threatened him: "You can't mention it to your second brother either."
"And you, otherwise, I will spit out all the money I won today." Gu Qingyan said.
