Chapter 56 Chapter 56 May you fall in love and enter the bridal chamber soon. …
No one expected that a life-and-death issue could be solved so easily.
Since it concerns Gu Jingyun's parents, Jiang Yan dare not be negligent or careless.
Even though the herb in the illustration looked exactly like the Soul-Hunting Grass, Jiang Yan still carefully read through the tattered book.
He then took out his own portable magic book, the reading materials he had collected for research, and other materials, and compared them one by one.
When Jiang Yan was flipping through the book, the people around him didn't dare to breathe, let alone chat or laugh, for fear that any noise would disturb the Immortal Lord's thoughts.
"...Jingyun, you said that your parents have fine black lines on their bodies?" Jiang Yan looked up and asked.
Gu Jingyun nodded slightly: "Yes."
"Are there any photo beads that record the relevant patterns?"
"Yes. What else do you need?"
Jiang Yan said: "The poison they were poisoned with. If you don't have relevant samples, I will have to go to the Sword Sect myself."
If you want to extract samples from a poisoned person, you need to open the ice coffin. After the ice coffin is sealed, if it is opened in the middle, the freezing effect will be greatly reduced.
Fortunately, the people in Qingfeng Valley are highly professional and had thought of this aspect long ago. They reminded Gu Jingyun before sealing the coffin.
Items such as blood samples and extracted toxins were all prepared very completely.
However, a lot of them have been consumed over the past hundred years, and the few remaining samples are in Bo Qin's hands.
"In the Breeze Valley."
Gu Jingyun looked at Ji Ziheng and said, "You should go there in person, bring a few more people with you, don't show off along the way, and be careful."
Ji Ziheng's face was solemn, and he said respectfully, "Yes, Young Master!"
Jiang Yan said, "I'll write you a list. When you get there, give it to Master Bo."
Ji Ziheng: "Okay, I will definitely bring it there."
Song Hua brought paper and pen and helped to grind the paper. Jiang Yan picked up the brush, pondered for a moment, and then started writing.
Gu Jingyun gave Ji Ziheng a wink, and the two of them left the room, quietly closed the door, and retreated to the eaves a little further away.
The young master waved his sleeves to set up a soundproof barrier.
"Yu Hanyi may not be dead." Gu Jingyun said.
"How is this possible?!" Ji Ziheng was confused and uncertain, "Young Master suspected that the demons stole his body and used the forbidden technique of controlling corpses on it?"
"It is a forbidden technique for us, but for the demons, it may be an ordinary magic. Controlling corpses is detrimental to cultivation and virtue, but do the demons still care about this?"
Gu Jingyun said coldly: "A bunch of shady things."
Ji Ziheng: "The demon clan controls corpses by treating them as puppets. Even if Yu Hanyi appears again, his soul is dead."
Gu Jingyun said calmly: "What if they use secret methods or other magic to call back his soul?"
"This..." Ji Ziheng thought for a moment: "Young Master, what you said makes sense. This is not impossible. The effect of the Soul-Chasing Grass is to chase the soul and lock the spirit. How do we know that they don't have other means to restore Yu Hanyi's consciousness."
After he finished speaking, Ji Ziheng frowned and said worriedly: "The existence of the Immortal Lord is a great threat to the demons. If they knew the strangeness of the Immortal Lord, they would definitely send people to assassinate him!"
"I was too impatient." Gu Jingyun sighed, "As soon as I came out of Qingfeng Valley, I rushed to Xizhou without stopping. I knew there were people in Xizhou who could help me."
Gu Jingyun thought to himself that if he was a demon, he should be waiting in the dark and trying to kill Jiang Yan.
——If Jiang Yan has a way to break the curse, killing him will be a big profit. If Jiang Yan is just an ordinary Hehuan Sect disciple, he will not lose anything if he is killed, just because he is the sweetheart of the Sword Sect's young master.
After all, there are ways that can deal a fatal blow to Gu Jingyun.
Even if he guessed the demon clan's conspiracy, he couldn't leave at this time.
Distancing yourself from Jiang Yan for no reason is just an attempt to cover up one's own guilt.
Gu Jingyun pondered for a moment and arranged:
"I will stay here for now, at least until you return from Qingfeng Valley."
"You and the Sirius Guards will be divided into two teams, one in the open and one in the dark, and you will act at the same time. The Sirius Guards in the open will just pretend to be delivering the monthly spiritual medicine."
Ji Ziheng agreed.
There was a creaky sound of a door opening behind him. Song Hua pushed the door open and Jiang Yan poked his head out: "Jing Yun, I have written the list."
Ji Ziheng took it, glanced at the list, and put it away. He whistled, and several figures came quickly from a distance and landed silently in the yard.
Ji Ziheng said: "There is no time to lose, I will set off now."
"Be careful of snakes in the dark grass." Gu Jingyun said lightly.
"I'll remember that."
Ji Ziheng nodded to the young master and the Immortal Lord, waved to those people, and left neatly with the Heavenly Wolf Guards.
Jiang Yan retracted his gaze and asked worriedly, "Is it safe to bring only a few people with you?"
Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "Of course not. That's the person who often works with him. He will have to go to other places to gather enough troops before setting off again."
Just be prepared.
Jiang Yan was relieved, and pulled Gu Jingyun back into the house, saying to him: "That curse looks very familiar to me, as if I have seen it in some magic book, but I don't have a clue for the moment. Leave the book to me, when will you return to Dongzhou?"
"Not going back for now." Gu Jingyun stated his plan.
Jiang Yan looked embarrassed after hearing this.
"Is there any inconvenience?" Gu Jingyun asked with concern.
Jiang Yan asked: "Do you want to apply for permission to enter from the sect?"
Gu Jingyun shook his head: "That would cause a sensation."
If he dares to visit the Hehuan Sect today as the young master of the Jian Sect, the news will spread throughout Xizhou tomorrow, and the whole continent will know it the day after tomorrow at the latest, which will be detrimental to keeping Jiang Yan's identity secret.
Jiang Yan frowned for a long time, then seemed to have figured something out, and his eyes gradually became firm.
"Then you can sneak in like you did last time." Jiang Yan suggested, "I live alone in a courtyard now. There are many rooms in it. You can choose any one you like."
Jiang Yan let it go.
Rules are something that, if broken once, will happen a second time.
So many Tianlang Guards can hide, so what’s wrong with having one more young master!
Gu Jingyun: “…”
Actively hide him?
There are such good things.
He originally planned to stay at Yuyuan Inn.
After Jiang Yan and Gu Jingyun made the decision, he spent the whole afternoon flipping through books in the house. Apart from confirming that the herb Gu Jingyun needed was indeed the Soul-Chasing Grass, he did not gain anything else for the time being.
During the whole process, Gu Jingyun sat beside him, reading a book in his hand.
The two of them shared a study room but were doing their own things in silence, yet they didn't find it boring.
In the evening, Jiang Yan was pulled out of the study by Gu Jingyun.
The two of them avoided pedestrians and went for a ride on the mountain road in the suburbs. After a few turns, Manager Zhang had already prepared dinner in the front hall.
Gu Jingyun put some carrots into Jiang Yan's bowl and gently reminded him: "Eat more, Yan is too thin."
Jiang Yan didn't notice anything strange. He just thought that the young master knew that he preferred vegetarian food, and carrots were the dish closest to him.
Gu Jingyun looked at the immortal who was busy chewing the radish, his heart full of tenderness.
ah.
Ayan is such a cute little rabbit.
As Jiang Yan ate, his speed became slower and slower.
He couldn't stand it, so he picked up a piece of vegetables with chopsticks and stuffed it into the young master's bowl.
"Don't keep looking at me."
Jiang Yan had no choice but to think about it and then picked up another big chicken leg and gave it to him.
The young master likes meat, so don't accompany him to eat grass.
Most of the servants who were accompanying him kept their heads down, and no one dared to listen or look any further.
There was only one person, standing in a corner where it was not easy to be noticed, looking up secretly.
The young master and the immortal were desperately trying to put food into each other's bowls, one using chopsticks and one using a spoon.
Judging from the posture, he was just about to feed it into the other person's mouth with his own hands.
So slimy, it's unbearable to look at.
The man didn't dare to look at it for too long. He just glanced at it briefly and then lowered his head.
After having a good meal and tea and as the night gradually deepened, Jiang Yan prepared to return to the sect.
The Sirius Guards led Zhuyue and Zhuifeng out of the stable.
Jiang Yan and Gu Jingyun mounted their horses one after another, and the Tianlang Guards also lined up and followed behind them in silence.
"I will go with the Immortal King. You guys stay here and perform your duties." Gu Jingyun said lightly.
Shopkeeper Zhang and a group of servants bowed and saluted.
"Farewell, young master and Immortal Lord!"
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.
Shopkeeper Zhang straightened up.
He turned to look at the servants behind him and said with great dignity: "Just do what you should do. Just one thing, the young master came here in secret, so please mind yourselves, don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
"If I hear anyone gossiping about the matter between the young master and the Immortal Lord, I will pull out that person's tongue!"
All the servants were silent.
"Go ahead." Shopkeeper Zhang waved his hand.
Everyone dispersed gradually and went back to their own work.
**
Within the Hehuan Sect.
Master Hehuan wandered around the courtyard for the 301st time and finally heard the familiar sound of horse hooves.
He had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard early in the morning. Upon hearing the sound, he immediately pushed the door open with lightning speed.
Two people also jumped out from the yard opposite.
"Whoa—" Jiang Yan was startled and quickly stopped Zhuyue.
"Stop!" He Huan Zhenren shouted with joy, "Being caught by us - huh?"
The tall and thin Jiang Xianjun was sitting on Zhuyue's body, holding the reins tightly in his hands.
The young man looked shocked, his eyes widened unconsciously, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Zhuifeng, who was standing by, stomped the ground in fear, but there was nothing on his horse's back.
He Huan Zhenren: “…”
Damn, miscalculated.
Fan Yang, Yu Shan: “.”
They all said that the master was overthinking it, but he refused to believe it and made them embarrassed as well.
Jiang Yan: “???”
Jiang Yan was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing?"
Master Hehuan looked up to the sky and down to the earth, but he didn't dare to look into Jiang Yan's eyes.
Jiang Yan asked again, and Master Hehuan pointed at Yan Yushan without any master-disciple relationship, and Yan Yushan pushed Fan Yang again.
Fan Yang: “…”
you--
Fan Yang gritted his teeth and was helpless, he explained tiredly: "Master thinks that you haven't come back for so long because you have an appointment with someone outside."
Jiang Yan: “…”
Fan Yang: "He thought about it for a long time this afternoon and suspected that you had ulterior motives in keeping two horses."
Jiang Yan hesitated for a few seconds: "How is it impure?"
Yan Yushan added: "For example, you raised them together with someone else, and originally you only had one horse. But due to some special reasons, Zhuifeng and Zhuyue were raised with you."
Jiang Yan: “…”
He Huan Zhenren said: "You used to be unable to walk for a whole day! You usually act like a wooden beauty and you fooled me, so I couldn't think about the logic behind it!"
He said confidently, "Since Yan'er is acting so abnormally today, it's normal for Master to think more about it, right?"
Jiang Yan wanted to speak but stopped, and wanted to speak again.
If they had asked this question before today, Jiang Yan would have betrayed Gu Jingyun.
But the young master has important matters to attend to now, so he needs to hide his identity, and he specifically said that he should keep a low profile.
According to the terrifying speed of the Eight Diagrams of the Hehuan Sect...
Jiang Yan didn't dare to reveal a single word.
With a last glimmer of hope, He Huan Zhenren asked, "Yan'er, tell Master, why do you keep two horses?"
The person with a guilty conscience became Jiang Yan.
He calmed down and replied calmly, "Because I like to keep two horses and ride them alternately."
The light in Master He Huan's eyes quickly went out, and he let out a sigh of disappointment.
Yan Yushan and Fan Yang said in unison:
"Master, please take it easy."
"Yes, Master. I have bought you the best quality futon. It will definitely not hurt to kneel on it."
"And the best incense and candles—"
"Everything is ready. The Grandmaster will not blame you."
He Huan Zhenren sighed to the sky: "The traitorous disciple refuses to fall in love! It's unfortunate for our sect!"
Jiang Yan: “…………”
He Huan Zhenren shouted solemnly: "Yan'er!"
Jiang Yan's hair stood on end and he immediately jumped off his horse.
"Yes, Master, I am here. What do you want me to do?"
He Huan Zhenren waved his hand and said, "Come with me to the ancestral hall tonight."
Jiang Yan was surprised.
Fan Yang patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go too."
Jiang Yan was even more surprised: "Why?"
Yan Yushan said sadly: "I will accompany you to burn incense to the ancestor and ask him to bless you to fall in love and enter the bridal chamber as soon as possible."
"!!" Jiang Yan stammered, "No, it's not necessary, right?"
Do we have to trouble him with such a small matter?
He Huan Zhenren said angrily: "You don't have a partner to enter the bridal chamber, and you can't practice the second volume of the He Huan technique. This is a top priority for our sect!"
"You must go, do you hear me?!" Master Hehuan said without any room for argument.
Jiang Yan: “…”
Okay then.
