Mo Fengying's nose twitched slightly, trying to smell the scent of the medicine man. Seeing Mo Fengying's nose twitching, Song Ci subconsciously tensed up her body, not daring to get too emotional.
Mo Fengying didn't smell the medicine man's scent and couldn't help feeling disappointed.
At this time, the woman from the Guangdong couple spoke up. She said, "Then why is Nangong Xian's bow and arrow at the Mo family? We've broken up, and her bow and arrow is still here. It doesn't make sense."
Mo Fengying temporarily forgot about the medicine man, calmed down her disappointment, and then spoke in a rhythmic voice, "The year after Nangong Xian returned to Kyoto, the emperor was critically ill. I heard that there was a strange beast in Shu. Its blood could enhance the efficacy of medicines, and its flesh and blood were even more miraculous, able to cure those suffering from long-term illnesses. Its heart could even bring the dying back to life!"
"The emperor sent his guards to search for the beast, but they searched for months without success. At the time, Nangong Xian was the emperor's most trusted officer, so the emperor ordered him to lead a team into Shu to search for the beast! Unable to disobey the emperor's order, Nangong Xian led a team deep into Shu, found our ancestor, and joined him in the search."
"Nangong Xian and the old ancestor searched the Shu region for two or three months before finally finding the strange beast deep in the mountains. In order to capture the beast, Nangong Xian fought fiercely with it. Although he ultimately killed it, he was seriously injured and died."
"Our ancestors, mindful of their past love, buried Nangong Xian's remains in our clan's cemetery and sent a pill crafted from a rare beast's heart to the imperial capital. After the emperor consumed the miraculous elixir, he returned to life and fully recovered! The emperor then bestowed upon him a plaque inscribed with the inscription 'The Mo Family of Shu, the Nation's Sacred Hand'! Nangong Xian was posthumously awarded the title of Grand General. All future generations of the Nangong family have enjoyed the glory brought by Nangong Xian, fighting for their country for generations to come!"
Mo Fengying stepped onto the platform and gently stroked the bright red bow and arrow. This sword, having accompanied Nangong Xian through battles and life and death, had long since become a weapon imbued with soul. Hundreds of years later, the Sun Chaser Arrow remained intact, emitting a chilling aura under the nightlight.
"Our ancestor never forgot Nangong Xian. Before he died, he personally placed Nangong Xian's weapon, the Sun-Chasing Arrow, here, making it the most precious treasure of our clan!"
Mo Fengying tried to pick up the bow and arrow, but it didn't move at all.
Mo Fengying seemed to have anticipated this, and there was no embarrassment on her face. She said, "After our ancestor passed away, this bow and arrow sealed itself away. No one in this world can ever pick it up again."
For six hundred years, it has been enshrined here, absorbing the light of the sun and the moon, waiting for its master to return!
Everyone felt sorry for Nangong Xian's ending and admired the Sun-Chasing Arrows' loyalty. But after hearing the story, Song Ci and Song Fei looked at each other and saw suspicion in each other's eyes.
But there were too many people here and it was inconvenient for them to talk, so they could only communicate after the exam was over.
The exam time was approaching, and Song Ci stood in the 17th position according to the code. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the invigilator came.
There were five invigilators, all wearing the same uniform. The gate to the Shensi Building opened behind them, and the five invigilators, holding incense sticks, solemnly and respectfully bowed three times to the statue of Mo Liansheng inside the Shensi Building.
Ancestor Mo is the belief of this group of people, and the way they worship him is like believers worshipping God.
Behind them, the young men of the Mo family also followed suit. It would have been awkward for outsiders to just stand there, so they followed suit. Mo Liansheng was the Medical Sage, so there was nothing wrong with paying homage to him before the exam.
After the tedious worship ceremony, the invigilator turned around and reminded all the candidates: "All candidates, follow me upstairs. Everyone else, please wait outside!" After saying that, the invigilator took the lead and stepped into the Shensi Building.
Hearing this, Song Ci turned around and made a goodbye gesture to Song Fei. Song Fei whispered something, but Song Ci couldn't hear it, but she guessed it. Song Fei was saying, "Just do your best."
Song Fei leaned against the stone platform in the square. She watched Song Ci and the others walk into Shensi Tower. After the door closed, she turned back and stared at the Sun-Chasing Arrow on the stone platform.
She thought of the story Mo Fengying had told her before, and her eyes were full of sarcasm.
Mo Fengying's story is complete nonsense!
Song Fei believed that the so-called search for the "strange beast" was just a shocking scam from beginning to end. The purpose was to lure the medicine man Nangong Xian to Shu, kill her and take her heart!
The person who deliberately spread the rumor about the "strange beast in Shu" was the one who knew Nangong Xianyao's identity and wanted to use her life to achieve his own goals. This person was most likely Mo Liansheng!
At that time, Mo Liansheng wanted the world to recognize his medical skills, so he had been waiting for an opportunity. Later, when the emperor was critically ill, the cunning and cruel Mo Liansheng knew that the opportunity had come.
What could better demonstrate medical skills than bringing the emperor back to life?
So he spread rumors about a "strange beast" to lure Nangong Xian into Shu, and then pretended to accompany Nangong Xian to search for the beast. Nangong Xian and Mo Liansheng were a couple who had been in love, so what if Nangong Xian was a female general? She was a woman after all.
Once a woman is poisoned by love, she will rarely be rational all the time.
Nangong Xian trusts Mo Liansheng wholeheartedly, so she will naturally leave her back to Mo Liansheng.
Mo Liansheng waited for the right opportunity, and when Nangong Xian was not paying attention, he stabbed her in the back, took her life, dug out her heart, and then used her heart to refine the "Fengchun Pills", which he brought to the palace and presented to the emperor, bringing him back to life.
He also successfully obtained the reputation of "Mo Family of Shu, the National Saint" bestowed by the emperor.
Mo Liansheng's conspiracy is truly perfect!
Song Fei suddenly understood why Song Ci felt heartbroken every time he saw the Sun-Chasing Arrow, because in this world, apart from the murderer Mo Liansheng, only Nangong Xian’s personal weapon, the Sun-Chasing Arrow, knew the injustice suffered by its master!
