The Ningxu Sect's branch was in a Taoist temple on the outskirts of the capital. It was very hidden. Si Muran couldn't help but admire the cleverness of these people. No one would suspect that they were using the Taoist priest as a cover.
Si Muran was arranged to rest in a wing room. There were guards outside the door. Si Muran knew that she couldn't escape, so she lay on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.
Pei Chenshuo followed the elders of the Ningxu Sect to the Taoist temple on the outskirts of the capital. Pei Chenshuo knew that this must be the branch of the Ningxu Sect. Pei Chenshuo was thinking of sneaking into the temple to find out what was going on when he suddenly heard the sound of the wind carrying a dangerous aura. Pei Chenshuo turned around and saw a purple shadow flash past. Then, he closed his eyes in pain and fell to the ground.
Zi Yang looked at Pei Chenshuo who was lying on the ground, his deep eyes calm.
Just as Si Muran was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open. A man dressed like a Taoist priest walked in."Miss, the elder has invited you."
Si Muran sat up on the bed. The elder this person was talking about must be the one who saved her in the ruined temple. It seemed that the position of elder was quite powerful.
Si Muran was thinking about how to reach an agreement with the elder and let her leave this place. Following the small path, Si Muran was led into a room.
As soon as she entered, Si Muran smelled a strange smell in the room. It smelled like Chinese medicine, but it didn't look like it either. She looked at the table in the room, which was filled with some brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. There was also a pill furnace in the middle. Si Muran immediately understood that this was the pill room where they refined pills.
"Teaching Elder, I'm talking about this girl.”The elder pointed at Si Muran as he spoke to the teaching elder.
It was only then that Si Muran realized that other than the elder who had brought her back, there was another person in the room who was called the teaching elder. This teaching elder was about fifty years old and looked very approachable.
Si Muran could clearly tell that this teaching elder seemed to be of a higher rank than the other elder!
The teaching elder was originally sizing up the things that Elder Sun had brought back with him. When he heard Elder Sun's voice, the teaching elder raised his head and sized up Si Muran.
"Young lady, don't be afraid. May I ask where you saw this thing? Could it be that you've read the Heavenly Works Canon?”The teaching elder asked.
Another Heavenly Works Canon! Si Muran felt that she was the nemesis of this so-called Heavenly Works Canon.
"I don't know anything about the Canon of Heavenly Works. It came out of my mind. I know you won't believe me even if I explain it to you.”Si Muran looked a little embarrassed as she spoke.
"Nonsense, if you haven't read the Heavenly Works Canon, how would you know about these strange things? You're clearly quibbling!" Elder Sun obviously didn't believe Si Muran's words.
Si Muran was speechless. If she told them that she came from a thousand years in the future, that she had an encyclopedia in her head, and that the content of this encyclopedia was written with the essence of a thousand years of history, they would really not believe it, right?
Si Muran finally understood the meaning of this sentence. She was indeed not from the same era as them! No, it wasn't!
"In short, I'm telling the truth. It's up to you to believe it or not!”Si Muran casually picked up the Xuan paper on the table and started reading it. The moment she saw it, Si Muran suddenly exclaimed,""What is this?"
The teaching elder looked at the paper in Si Muran's hand and replied,""That is the formula for refining pills."
Si Muran covered her mouth and looked at the things recorded in the prescription in surprise.""If this pill is refined, it can eat people to death.”
The teaching elder was shocked and asked,""Young Lady, why do you say that?"
Si Muran pointed at the cinnabar pills in the prescription and said,""There's no problem with using a small amount of cinnabar, but if you take a large amount, it's highly toxic. This was because cinnabar contained mercury, which was a highly toxic substance! Adding cinnabar pills to medicinal pills would definitely cause death if one consumed it all year round!”
Si Muran had some understanding of alchemy. This time, she didn't need the Encyclopedia to find the problem at a glance. This was because countless emperors had died from medicinal pills since ancient times.
The teaching elder's eyes lit up." Thank you for your guidance, Miss. It seems that your talent is far beyond our imagination." May I ask how I should address you?"
Si Muran scratched her head and smiled embarrassedly. Now that her real mask had been exposed, there was no need for Si Muran to hide it anymore."My name is Si Muran."
The teaching elder nodded and said to Elder Sun,""Miss Si is a distinguished guest of our Void Tranquil Sect. Elder Sun, remember not to neglect her.”
Elder Sun saw that the teaching elder's attitude towards Si Muran was so good, so he didn't say anything and could only nod in agreement.
The teaching elder walked to Si Muran's side and said earnestly,""To be honest with you, Miss Si, this Heavenly Works Scripture is actually the founding sacred object of our Ningxu Sect. It was later presented to the founding emperor of the Celestial Pole Kingdom. Our Ningxu Sect has always taken the responsibility of promoting kindness and helping others. It's not some evil sect. I hope Miss Si doesn't misunderstand.”
Si Muran was skeptical. Thinking of the deal between Jin Lin and the Void Tranquil Sect, Si Muran asked,""But I clearly saw you guys making a gunpowder deal with Jinlin today. Jinlin has been conspiring against us to obtain gunpowder. He must be plotting a rebellion.”
The teaching elder stroked his beard and replied with a laugh,""Miss Si, you've misunderstood. Young Master Jin is under the emperor's orders. This batch of gunpowder was not for the sake of plotting, but for the sake of the neighboring country, Bei Li.”
"Beili Country?" Si Muran frowned.”
The teaching elder nodded and continued,""Miss Si, you should know that it's better to be friends than enemies. The gunpowder that Jin Lin exchanged for is the best medicine to instigate a rebellion in Bei Li Country.”
Si Muran roughly understood. It seemed that the Heaven's Fate Kingdom wanted to be on good terms with the Bei Li Kingdom, so the gunpowder was something like a token. "But if that's the case, why would Jinlin kill me to silence me?”Si Muran thought that since this was a good plan for the two countries to live in peace, there was really no need to silence a citizen of the Heaven's Fate Kingdom.
"Perhaps Young Master Jin thinks you're a spy from the enemy country. Please don't take it to heart, Miss Si," the teaching elder replied.”
Si Muran still felt that something was amiss. However, she thought about it and realized that it had nothing to do with her. She just wanted to keep her life. As the three of them were discussing, they suddenly heard a voice from outside the door."Elder, the Imperial Advisor of the Celestial Pole Kingdom has brought His Highness here to see the Teaching Elder.”
Si Muran was shocked. Why was Zi Yang with Pei Chenshuo? Before he could come back to his senses, the teaching elder opened the door."Please come over."
Si Muran was a little flustered. She accidentally touched the jade pendant on her body. It was the one she had kept as a memento when Tianxuan died. Remembering that Tian Xuan was also a member of the Ningxu Sect, Si Muran took out her jade pendant and prepared to find a suitable time to tell him about Tian Xuan. However, it didn't seem like the right time now.
Si Muran held the jade pendant and saw Zi Yang supporting the unconscious Pei Chenshuo as they walked over. Si Muran suddenly saw Pei Chenshuo's state and climbed up with an inexplicable worry.
"Your Highness, what happened?" The teaching elder asked anxiously when he saw the unconscious Pei Chenshuo.
Zi Yang replied innocently,""It seems like he was poisoned. Does Taoist priest have a way to save His Highness?”Zi Yang glanced at the teaching elder and asked.
"Quickly help wangye to sit over here. I'll take wangye's pulse.”As she spoke, she asked Zi Yang to help Pei Chenshuo sit down on a chair.
Si Muran held the jade pendant tightly in her hand because she was nervous. She looked a little at a loss.
"Elder Sun, hurry up and get the medicine box." The teaching elder said to Elder Sun after taking his pulse.
Elder Sun nodded and quickly walked out of the room.
The teaching elder looked at Si Muran and said,""Miss Si, you should go and rest first.”
Si Muran looked at Pei Chenshuo and pointed at him worriedly.""How, how is he? Will he be alright?”
The Head Elder was about to reply when his gaze suddenly fell on her hand that was pointing at Pei Chenshuo. It turned out that Si Muran was only worried about Pei Chenshuo. She had used her hand that was holding the jade pendant to point at Pei Chenshuo, attracting the Head Elder's attention.
The teaching elder snatched the jade pendant from Si Muran's hand fiercely, his expression furious.""Why is this jade pendant in your hands? What about Tian Xuan? Where is that traitor now?"
Si Muran was shocked. She looked at the teaching elder's fierce expression and panicked. A look of surprise appeared on her face and she stuttered,""He, he, you said he's a traitor?”
The teaching elder nodded, and his eyes were filled with killing intent."That's right, this bastard. Tell me where he is so I can clean up the mess.”
Si Muran didn't know what had happened. How did Tianxuan suddenly become a traitor? "He's already dead. I found this jade pendant on his body.”Si Muran replied truthfully.
"What is it? He was dead! Are you sure?" The teaching elder seemed to be in disbelief, so he questioned him like this.
Si Muran nodded." He died trying to save me. He was shot in the chest by an arrow and died in the fire." I kept his jade pendant as a memento.”
When Si Muran said this, Zi Yang's gaze wavered slightly.
The teaching elder seemed to suppress his anger and could not help but grit his teeth."This bastard is really lucky. If I catch him, I'll definitely cut him into pieces to vent my hatred.”
Looking at the teaching elder's expression, Si Muran really couldn't figure out what crime this Tian Xuan had committed to make the quiet teaching elder so angry.
Before Si Muran could ask further, Elder Sun came over with a medicine box. The teaching elder returned Tian Xuan's jade pendant to Si Muran and said,""Since he saved your life, I'll leave this jade pendant to you. Miss Si, you should go back and rest first.”
Si Muran wanted to say something, but Pei Chenshuo suddenly moaned in pain. It seemed like he was poisoned and his face was in pain.
Si Muran was a little anxious as she watched the teaching elder use his internal energy to relieve Pei Chenshuo's pain.
" Miss Si," Elder Sun said," if you stay here, you'll disturb the elder's treatment of His Highness. I'll take you back first."”
Si Muran responded and left the room, turning her head back every few steps. Seeing this, Zi Yang also followed him out of the room without anyone noticing. Zi Yang's poison was something that even the teaching elders could not cure. Zi Yang smiled. Pei Chenshuo, you're just waiting to die!# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
