Qining and Eve were alone together, feeling tender and affectionate. Qining roughly told Eve about the assassination process of Li Yuan. The time seemed to pass very fast. The two of them were talking to each other when they heard something coming from outside. Bayali's voice: "Master Hou, the time has come."
Eve asked: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, your brother and I still have something to discuss." Qining held Eve's little hand, "Wait until I finish the matter, and then I'll stay with you." He didn't want Eve to know too much for the time being, but it wasn't that She was worried that Eve would leak the news, but once Eve knew about it, she would definitely ask questions, but instead it was delayed.
Eve didn't know what was going on, but thinking that Qin Ning was the Marquis of Jinyi after all, and Bayeli was the master of the Black Rock Cave, it was normal for the two of them to discuss something. She took Qin Ning's arm and said softly: "Then... then you Come back early, I'll be waiting for you." Full of reluctance.
Qining thought to himself that once this woman fell in love, she was really as docile as water. In the past, Eve would not have such a good temper. He kissed Eve on the forehead, then went out and went downstairs.
Everything is quiet in Heiyan Ridge. People in the village are accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early. Except for those who are arranged to watch the night, most people have already gone to bed. Looking down from a high place, there are not many places with lights on.
Qining and Bayeli returned to the stilted building and saw an old man from the Miao family in his fifties who was waiting outside with a basket on his back. When they saw Bayeli, the old man came forward to salute. Bayeli introduced: "Master Hou, this is Father Zhege, who has the best medical skills in our village."
Qining knew that Bayeli had just sent someone to find him, so he took a step forward and saluted, "Father Zhege!"
When Father Nazhege heard Bayeli call Qining the Marquis, he didn't know Qining's identity, so he immediately saluted and said: "The Marquis is our great benefactor in Black Rock Cave, and we all appreciate the kindness of the Marquis."
Qining smiled slightly and the three of them entered the room. Bayeli explained something to Father Zhege in a low voice. Father Zhege immediately said: "Don't worry, cave master. Zhege understands that from today on, I will never leave you." ." He walked over, opened his black robe, looked at Xiang Baiying, looked at Xiang Baiying's face, frowned, opened Xiang Baiying's mouth, took a bamboo tweezers from the basket, and clamped Xiang Baiying He pulled out some of his tongue and looked at it, with a serious look on his face, and whispered: "He is seriously injured and his meridians are very seriously damaged. I can't cure his meridians, but I can ensure that he survives."
In fact, Qi Ning also knew that Father Zhege was very skilled in medicine and could never restore Xiang Baiying to normal, but being able to guarantee Xiang Baiying's survival was already very impressive. He handed over his hand again and said, "Thank you, Father Zhege." ”
Baye said forcefully: "Don't delay, let's go to the mourning cave now." He entered the inner room and took a bundle of rattan ropes in his hands. Qining didn't know what he was going to do.
Father Zhege stood up and put away the basket, Qining carried it towards Baiying, Bayeli led the way, and out the door, Qining ordered: "Qi Feng, you guys just wait here, don't run around. .” Without much explanation, Qi Feng and the others left Monk Zhang Er scratching their heads and followed Bayali towards the mountains.
Bayeli led the way, Qining followed behind with Xiang Baiying on his back, and Father Zhege stayed behind. There was still a road at first, but after walking for less than half an hour, the road was rugged and went up the mountain. No road could be found, and after walking for half an hour, we arrived at the edge of a deserted cliff.
Qining looked around, a little strange, but Bayeli walked to the edge of the cliff, saw Qining's doubts, and explained: "Master Marquis, the mourning cave is a cave dug out of the cliff, and you need to follow the vine rope to go down. "Tie one end of the rattan rope to a strange-shaped rock on the edge of the cliff. He pulled hard to make sure it was tied well. Then he turned around and said, "I'll go down first. Lord Marquis will tie up this friend and put him down. I'll take care of him below."
Qi Ning was relieved and thought that the mourning cave was so secret.
Bayeli went down along the rattan rope. After a moment, he only saw the rattan rope shaking. Qining knew that Bayeli had arrived at the funeral cave. He pulled up the rattan rope, tied it to Baiying, and gently lowered it down. After a while, I felt a tightness down there, and I knew that Bayeli was taking over. After a while, the rope swayed again, and Qining asked Father Zhege to go down first.
Although Father Zhege was over fifty years old, his body was strong and his movements were nimble. He also went down. In the end, Qining grabbed the rattan rope and went down the mountain wall. He was about three or four meters away from the top of the cliff. Sure enough, they found a cave opened on the mountain wall. Bayeli held Qining inside. When Qining entered the cave, he felt a cold air approaching.
Bayeli personally carried Bai Ying on his back, and Zhege's father lit up the fire stick in his hand. The three of them walked towards the cave. They saw that the cave was winding. They only walked about twenty steps, and they looked back. No hole in sight.
After walking for another ten steps, Qining saw coffins suddenly appearing in the mountain walls on both sides. He knew that he had dug a hole in the mountain wall and put the coffin inside.
After walking for a while, there were dozens of coffins connected with each other. Inside this mourning cave, the air was gloomy and cold.
Qining knew that without Bayeli's kindness, it would have been impossible to enter the funeral cave. He walked a short distance inside and finally arrived at a relatively spacious stone chamber with a large coffin placed in the middle. Bayeli carefully put Xiang Baiying down and knelt down to the big coffin. Father Zhege also put down the basket and knelt down. Qining knew that there were more than ordinary people in this big coffin and followed the Romans, so he also knelt down and bowed a few times.
Bayeli stood up and explained: "This is the old immortal of Black Rock Cave. He led the tribe to settle in Black Rock Ridge."
Qining nodded slightly, and Bayeli said: "This place is extremely secretive, and no one will find it. Father Zhege will stay here from today on, and I will personally deliver all the necessary items and medicinal materials. , Lord Hou, don’t worry.”
Although it was freezing cold inside the mourning cave, Qi Ning felt warm in his heart and said gratefully: "Cave master, it's all thanks to you."
"Master Marquis, please don't say this." Bayeli turned to look at Father Zhege and asked, "Dad Zhege, it's quite cold here. Will it hurt this friend?"
Father Zhege shook his head and said: "His injuries mean that cold air is more powerful on him. His meridians are damaged, and the stronger the cold air, the slower the flow of qi and blood will be, which is good for his cultivation. But he needs a lot of medicinal materials, which are here. Recuperate slowly."
"Dad Lao Zhege is here." Qi Ning thanked him, thinking that it was indeed the safest place for Xiang Baiying to settle here. Even if Lu Shanghe and his gang were cunning, they would never think of Xiang Baiying hiding in the black cave. Inside the funeral cave.
"Master Marquis, I'm going to get the bedding and food." Baye said forcefully, "You can stay here for a while. If you have any instructions, just tell Father Zhege." He bowed and left.
Qining knew that Bayeli had clear grievances and was straightforward in his work and did not talk nonsense.
After Bayeli left, Father Zhege took the herbs from the basket, took out the juice from the herbs with a stone pestle, and poured it into Xiang Baiying's mouth three times in a row. Only then did Father Zhege stop. Qining Knowing that this herb must be interested in Xiang Baiying, Xiang Zhege smiled and nodded. At this moment, he heard Xiang Baiying cough, and the coughing sound was quite weak. Zhege's father said softly: "Don't talk to him. Talk too much." But he walked away.
Qi Ning then went over to help Xiang Baiying sit up, and gently patted Xiang Baiying's back to calm him down.
Xiang Baiying coughed for a moment and finally stopped. He opened his eyes slightly and saw Qi Ning. He forced a smile and said feebly: "Good boy, you... you saved me again...!"
"Uncle Xiang, please stop talking. I have already found a doctor and he can treat your injuries."
Xiang Baiying shook his head slightly, but said with a smile: "I originally wanted to use the Nijin Meridian to get rid of Bai Hu... Bai Hu, that traitor, but he was still plotted by him. Hey, Bai Hu has been working for the Beggar Clan for more than thirty years, and he is dissatisfied with me. I knew it, but... I just didn't expect that he would really dare to rebel and betray...!" He coughed softly again.
"Uncle Xiang, Bai Hu doesn't have that much courage. There must be a black hand behind this." Qi Ning said: "He must have a backer before he dares to attack you. Even that Lu Shanghe is not qualified to be his backer." .”
Xiang Baiying nodded slightly and said softly: "The Beggar Gang has been around for hundreds of years, just to prevent the poor beggars from being bullied. It has always... never bullied others. Now the Beggar Gang is the best in the world. There is a big gang, with hundreds of thousands of gang members, and experts gathered together. I am only worried... I am worried that if Bai Hu really usurps the throne, and he uses the Beggar Gang to cause trouble, not only will the world be unrest, but... even the Beggar Gang will suffer greatly...! "
Qi Ning frowned and said, "Uncle Xiang, are you saying that Bai Hu wants to use the Beggar Gang to cause trouble?"
"Baihu doesn't have the ability and scheming." Xiang Baiying sneered: "He is mediocre in talent. He can only rely on himself, and... he can't make big waves. The four elders of the Beggar Clan, Qinglong is talented, but his temper is too irritable and upright. , Suzaku is old enough to plan things, but... But his courage is too small to achieve great things, only... Only Xuanwu is both civil and military, and has a careful mind, so he is the most suitable successor...!"
"We are familiar with each other, Su, is Elder Xuanwu loyal to you?" Qining asked: "If he is trustworthy, I will go to him, tell him the truth, and let him protect you."
Xiang Baiying shook his head slightly and said: "Xuanwu and Baihu have always been at odds with each other. He... Both of them have more than 100,000 gang members. Once the truth is told, the Beggar Gang will completely break up and civil strife will break out...!"
Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Xiang, I don't know much about the affairs of the Beggar Clan. What should I do next? I don't know what to do." After a pause, he said: "I can only let you recover from your injuries first and regain your strength. After that, make plans.”
"Although I have an unruly temperament and am very open-minded about everything, but... I'm afraid I won't have a chance this time." Xiang Baiying's breath was weak and he smiled bitterly: "Beggars always think they can see through people's hearts and everything is under control. I have always treated each other with sincerity, who knew... Hehe, he died because of this in the end, good boy, in the future, you must remember that people's hearts are unpredictable, and you must not trust anyone easily."
Qi Ning knew that this stabbing by Lu Shanghe in the back had really made Xiang Baiying despair and despair, so he comforted him: "Uncle Xiang, don't worry about despicable villains like Lu Shanghe. I will definitely find an opportunity to cut him into pieces." , let him die without a burial place."
Xiang Baiying sighed softly and said: "Net, there is a net behind it, with sinister intentions... White Tiger is helpless, but that black hand wants to use White Tiger to control the Beggar Gang and let the Beggar Gang use it. This is... This is The most dangerous thing, if it succeeds, the consequences...the consequences will be unimaginable...!"
