"Miao Wuji is the master's man?" Chi Danmei frowned, with a look of surprise on her face.
Qi Ning sneered and said: "Miao Wuji has been conducting experiments in Ghost Bamboo Forest. It would be fine if she only used animals as experimental subjects, but she uses human beings as experimental subjects, and they are not ordinary people. They all have internal strength cultivation. A master of martial arts, why do you think she did this?"
Chi Danmei just frowned and said nothing.
"The most important thing is that when I fell into her trap and was controlled by her, she found my meridians. At that time, she was overjoyed and said that my meridians were close to the heavenly meridians, which was what she wanted." Qining's eyes were deep and his expression was cold: " Why is she looking for someone with heavenly veins?"
"You mean...!" Chi Danmei Bingxue was smart and understood immediately: "Miao Wuji is helping the master find a treatment?"
Qi Ning nodded and said: "Exactly. It's just that at that time, I never thought that the Grand Master would have physical problems. Naturally, it was impossible to think that the island owner would use Miao Wuji to find a cure. Your master suddenly appeared that night, for no other reason. He is just worried that Miao Wuji will die in our hands. He only stepped forward to rescue Miao Wuji. Otherwise, why would the island owner take an irrelevant person to Baiyun Island? You are from Baiyun Island, are there any idle people on the island? "
Chi Danmei looked suddenly enlightened and smiled bitterly: "It turns out...it turns out that Miao Wuji is the master's man." Thinking of Mo Lancang's temperament, if Miao Wuji was not really useful to him, how could he have brought Miao Wuji back to Baiyun? Island, sighed: "It turns out that the master has been looking for a cure."
"It's not just him, but several other great masters are like this." Qin Ning said: "Although these people's martial arts cultivation is at the pinnacle, they have all suffered from it, and each of them is trying to find a way to relieve the pain. , the owner of the island is like this, and so is the Dharma King Zhuri of Daxue Mountain, otherwise why would the two of them trade privately?"
Chi Danmei lowered her head and said nothing, pondering for a long time.
The breeze blew slowly, blowing the green hair on Chi Danmei's cheeks. Qin Ning felt a little tired after talking for a while, but there was nothing strange in his Dantian, and his energy and blood were flowing unimpeded, so he felt relieved.
"After Miao Wuji was brought back to Baiyun Island, she seemed to be imprisoned in a cave." Chi Danmei said: "The two slaves who killed her took turns to guard her. I have never seen her since I returned to the island."
Qi Ning said: "She may have been studying how to treat the island owner's injury." After thinking for a moment, he said: "I ask you something, and you won't be happy either."
Chi Danmei sighed: "You want to ask about what happened in the palace last time?"
Qi Ning said: "Exactly. That night you took away the palace secret treasure from another group of people. Do you know where the other person came from?"
Chi Danmei sneered: "They claim to be Beitang Huanye's disciples and want to deceive us. How could we be deceived by them? It's just... we really don't know where they came from."
"It's actually not difficult to know where they came from." Qi Ning said calmly: "What you are after is the same thing. I don't know what it is, but you two groups want to get it, so you naturally know that there is What purpose it is used for, and from this you can also deduce what kind of manpower the other party probably has."
Chi Danmei sighed softly: "If I say I have no clue, wouldn't you believe me?"
Qi Ning stared into Chi Danmei's eyes, and Chi Danmei also looked into his eyes. After a moment, Qi Ning said: "The person who picked you up that night was naturally Mo Ying. Did you guys have an agreement that night?"
Chi Danmei shook her head and said: "Elder brother has been active in the capital. Of course, I know about it and have been in contact with him privately. I followed the Qi State's delegation to sneak into the palace and was ordered to find the treasure. Before that, Eldest Brother had The capital city of Ye is already under construction, but I don’t know what he is doing there, and I can’t ask more. He knows that I am looking for the treasure in the palace, and has been helping him secretly, but his whereabouts are erratic, and besides being with him on time, I We will meet at the agreed place. I don’t know where he is at other times." After a pause, he continued: "I found the Southern Xinjiang Snow Dragon in the palace. I knew that python blood can increase one's power, so I brought you into the palace. I just wanted to benefit you, and I didn’t expect that I would encounter that thing that night.” He smiled bitterly and shook his head: “Of course you don’t believe me when I say this.”
Qi Ning said: "I believe it!"
Chi Danmei was startled, then a smile of relief appeared on her lips, and then she continued: "Now that I think about it, the senior brother must have been hunting for treasure in the palace that night, and happened to bump into another group of people who stole the treasure, so he chased after him, and finally The treasure is for us, so you and I...!" A little embarrassed, he smiled bitterly and said: "Master treats me with great kindness, and I sneaked into the palace to get the treasure on the master's order. Now that I have it in my hands, how can... Did you disobey the master's instructions? I know it was me who couldn't help you that day, so it's natural for you to blame me in your heart."
Qi Ning nodded slightly, but felt more and more strange about this matter.
Although the man in black had changed his appearance that night, Qi Ning was convinced that it was Zhuo Xian'er, and Qi Ning had already suspected that Zhuo Xian'er was probably Ksitigarbha's spy in the capital, so he had always suspected that Zhuo Xian'er that night Xian'er and another person were ordered to steal treasures from the palace.
If they really were from Ksitigarbha, why didn’t Mo Ying, who was connected with Ksitigarbha, recognize them
Could it be that my thinking is wrong and Zhuo Xianer has nothing to do with Ksitigarbha
But Lu Shanghe confessed that the Yanmo Messenger under Ksitigarbha was in the capital. The Yanmo Messenger had a special skill, which was that he could completely change a person's appearance. Zhuo Xianer changed his appearance. Unless it was the Yanmo Messenger who did it, Qining would be hard-pressed. He couldn't think of anyone else who could make the familiar Zhuo Xianer have a completely unfamiliar face.
Many of these things were very strange, and it was difficult for Qi Ning to completely sort them out.
"What is the treasure you are looking for in the palace?" Qi Ning pondered for a moment and finally asked: "The master of Baiyun Island is a grand master and the Prime Minister of Eastern Qi. What kind of treasure does he want and cannot get? Why do you have to worry about a treasure in the Chu Palace?"
Chi Danmei's pretty face showed a slightly embarrassed look, Qining sighed: "If it's really inconvenient for you to tell me, you don't have to tell me."
Chi Danmei hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Guqin!"
"Guqin?"
"The birds sing and play with the birds, and the phoenix plays with the blue waves!" The beautiful red eyes looked at Qining and said softly: "Have you heard these two sentences?"
Qi Ning's body was shaken. He had naturally heard these two sentences before, and the first time he heard these two sentences was from Zhuo Xian'er's mouth. He never expected that Chi Danmei would also utter these two sentences at this time, and she lost her voice. : "You're talking about...guqin?"
Chi Danmei is so smart. When she saw Qi Ning's reaction, she immediately understood: "Do you know the meaning of these two sentences?"
"There are four famous qins in the world, namely Haozhong, Yaoliang, Green Qi and Jiaowei." Qining said slowly: "These four famous qins have attracted all the melodies in the world and regard them as sacred objects. But among the four famous On top of the piano, there are two guqins, which are almost legendary."
Chi Danmei nodded slightly: "A bed of birds singing, a bed of phoenixes!"
"Exactly." Qi Ning said: "It is said that these two guqins are divine objects that fell into the world from the Nine Heavens."
Chi Danmei said quietly: "It would be an exaggeration to say that they fell from the nine heavens, but these two guqins are indeed rare in the world. Playing the guqin can attract birds from all directions. It is said that as long as the sound of the guqin is heard, Hundreds of rare and exotic birds will surround the harp, and as long as the sound of the harp continues, the birds will not leave."
Qining was filled with admiration when he thought of the strange sight.
"As for the phoenix harp, it is a different legend." Chi Danmei said: "The bird's harp can only play the most beautiful tunes on high mountains, but the phoenix harp can only produce strange sounds when it is on the sea. According to legend, in When the phoenix harp is mentioned in the sea, the sea will fall in love with it, and the sea waves will dance for the harp. It is for this reason that the two sayings "birds singing and playing with hundreds of birds" and "phoenix playing with the blue waves" have been passed down."
Qi Ning said curiously: "When the Phoenix Piano is played, the sea will surge. This...is this too exaggerated?"
"I don't know whether it's true or not." Chi Danmei said: "Although these two guqins are like myths, they do exist in the world. But not everyone can play it. It is said that if you are not a real master of music, Even if I have the guqin in my hand, I can't play the music at all, and it even sounds a hundred times worse than the ordinary guqin."
"So, the thing you took away from the palace was one of these two guqins?"
Chi Danmei nodded and said: "Niaoyu Phoenix is one of the two great sacred harps in the world, but Niaoyu disappeared many years ago, and we don't know if it still exists in the world. However, the Phoenix harp is hidden in the Imperial Palace of Chu State. , the Phoenix Qin fell into the hands of the Xiao family before the Chu State was founded. As for how it was obtained, I don’t know the details. Since the Xiao family has gained power, the Guqin bed is naturally in the Chu State’s palace. Although there are many rare treasures in the royal treasury of Chu State, the Phoenix Qin is extremely valuable and is a rare treasure among rare treasures. Naturally, it will not be obtained easily. I sneaked into the palace and was never able to find out the whereabouts of the Phoenix Qin. If it hadn't been stolen by another group of people that night, I'm afraid I would still be looking for it in the Chu Palace."
"It turns out that you spent all your efforts to find the Phoenix Qin in the palace." Qi Ning finally understood, but he was even more confused and asked: "Does the Master of Baiyun Island like music?"
Chi Danmei shook her head and said: "Master doesn't really like music very much. He prefers calligraphy and only occasionally plays the guqin. The guqin he plays is also made by himself. Compared with the guqin, he has learned more about calligraphy over the years. He is more fond of Tie, and often leaves the island in person to search for ancient books. There is a library on the island where his book collection is." He smiled slightly contemptuously and said: "It is said that there are some four masters of art in the world, and one of them is known as a calligrapher. Holy, but really compared to the master, I'm afraid it's far behind."
Qi Ning knew that the calligraphy sage among the Four Arts Masters was Zhuo Qingyang, who had disappeared for a long time. At this time, he had no intention of arguing about whose calligraphy was better. He just frowned and said in confusion: "Since the Master of Baiyun Island doesn't have much understanding of music, Like, why did he send you to sneak into the palace to search for the Phoenix Qin? There should be antique calligraphy and paintings in the palace treasure house, as well as priceless ancient calligraphy stickers. Why didn't he let you search for the calligraphy stickers, but instead let you spend all your money for a Guqin? What's on your mind?" Staring into Chi Danmei's beautiful eyes: "What does he want the Phoenix Qin for?"
