Chapter 365: Discovered by You
Chen Tingsi said: "After the Palace Master of Jueming Palace, Diao Yu, died in your hands, Jueming Palace was reorganized. Jueming Palace has a new Palace Master, and his style of doing things has also changed."
Xie Yingmian knew about this.
I heard that a new Palace Master appeared in Jueming Palace, and the new Palace Master’s style of doing things is completely different from Diao Yu’s.
But she didn't know the details.
"Did Lu Jiuyuan join the Jueming Palace after the Lu family's misfortune?" she asked.
Shen Tingsi: “Almost.”
"After Diao Yu's death, the new Palace Master of Jueming Palace is Lu Jiuyuan."
He lowered his eyes and laughed at himself.
"That year, after burying Xiaokui's father, Lu Jiuyuan also returned."
"The tragic deaths of the Lu family had a profound impact on Lu Jiuyuan. He became extremely depressed and began to drink to drown his sorrows, living a life of drunkenness and dreams, and even contemplated suicide."
"I didn't want to see Lu Jiuyuan depressed, so I told him about Yu Meng."
"Lu Jiuyuan went to see Yu Meng. The next day, he had recovered a lot."
"I thought he could get over it and live a good life with Yu Meng."
"But Lu Jiuyuan ran away from home the day after meeting Yu Meng."
Xie Yingmian: "He joined the Jueming Palace?"
Shen Tingsi shook his head: "No."
"He should have gone to the blessed land."
Xie Yingmian: ...
Wen Juexia once guessed that Xiaokui came from a blessed land.
Xie Jingyun also mentioned in his diary that the blessed land was on Dingyun Mountain.
The principle behind the formation of blessed places is also very simple.
The stones there are unique. They have strong radiation. The radiation subtly changes the genes of nearby residents, invisibly developing their physical potential and turning them into "supermen" who surpass ordinary people.
To put it bluntly, it is mutation.
Mutation is a double-edged sword.
Gene mutation is a double-edged sword.
If there are good mutations, there will naturally be bad mutations.
Xie Yingmian has always been skeptical about the paradise.
Shen Tingsi continued, “The blessed land of Dongtian is a legendary existence.”
“No one knows the exact location. Even if someone finds the blessed land, they won’t be able to find the entrance.”
"Lu Jiuyuan is no exception."
"I suspect that Xiaokui's father told him the location of the blessed land and how to enter it."
"To be precise, I suspect that Lu Jiuyuan came to the Western Suburbs Cemetery before me and met Bu Yunfan, who was still alive. Bu Yunfan told Lu Jiuyuan the address of the blessed land."
Xie Yingmian: "What's the basis?"
Shen Tingsi said: "That painting."
"painting?"
"Xiao Kui's father always carries a painting with him. The person in the painting bears a striking resemblance to Lu Jiuyuan, except that Lu Jiuyuan is a man, while the painting depicts a woman."
"When Xiaokui's father was buried, I buried the painting in the grave together." Shen Tingsi said.
Xie Yingmian was a little confused.
She wanted to ask, but didn't know where to start.
Chen Tingsi said, "Before I saw the Cloud-Severing Moon Sword, I didn't know the identity of Xiaokui's father, so many things couldn't be connected."
"Until today."
Shen Tingsi looked at the sky in the distance.
It was already afternoon.
The sunlight was blocked by the green pines and cypresses, leaving a long shadow in the cemetery.
Shen Tingsi said in a deep voice: "I finally connected everything together."
"Lu Jiuyuan once had a younger sister who was born prematurely and had a difficult birth. She was very weak and couldn't get out of bed or get out of the wind. She had to be taken care of indoors."
"We have never seen her, and only heard Lu Jiuyuan mention her occasionally."
"She died of illness a long time ago."
"The death of the sick is a very common occurrence, and we have never considered or investigated it in detail."
"Now that I think about it, she probably didn't die, but was sent to a certain place." Shen Tingsi said, "In that place, she survived and got married and had children like an ordinary person."
Xie Yingmian understood: "Do you think Lu Jiuyuan's sister is Bu Yunfan's wife and Xiaokui's mother?"
Shen Tingsi nodded: "That's what I guessed."
"Is there any basis for this?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Shen Tingsi: "The portrait in Bu Yunfan's arms has nine lotus flowers. Lu Jiuyuan's sister is named Lu Jiulian, and the portrait is very similar to Lu Jiuyuan. In addition, Bu Yunfan suddenly appeared at the execution ground. These can all be used as evidence."
"I speculate that Lu Jiulian died for some reason or something else happened, and Bu Yunfan was seriously injured and dying. He brought Xiaokui all the way to Shangjing, intending to entrust Xiaokui to the Lu family."
"Unfortunately, the Lu family suffered a great disaster and the entire family was executed."
"Bu Yunfan, despite being seriously injured, rescued Lu Jiuyuan, who looked most like Lu Jiulian. He had already reached his limit at that time. After meeting Lu Jiuyuan, he entrusted Xiaokui to him."
"The address of the Western Suburbs Cemetery was probably left to me by Lu Jiuyuan. He was not fit to take care of Xiao Kui at that time, let alone take her in."
"He left Xiaokui alone because he wanted to make her even more pitiful and helpless, because he knew I couldn't bear to watch her die."
When Shen Tingsi said this, his face was complicated.
Lu Jiuyuan deceived him for many years.
If he had not accidentally found out today that Xiaokui's father was Bu Yunfan, he would still be unable to uncover the truth.
Xie Yingmian asked, "You mean, Lu Jiulian and Bu Yunfan both came from the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and Bu Yunfan told Lu Jiuyuan the address of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land?"
Shen Tingsi: "I guessed."
Xie Yingmian: "How do you know Lu Jiuyuan went to the blessed land?"
Shen Tingsi: "Because he became the Palace Master of Jueming Palace."
Xie Yingmian couldn't figure out how the two were related.
Shen Tingsi explained: "Lu Jiuyuan doesn't know martial arts."
"A person who doesn't know martial arts cannot become the new Palace Master of Jueming Palace by relying solely on wisdom, unless he has an opportunity."
"The only place that can turn an adult who doesn't know martial arts into a master is the blessed land of Dongtian."
Xie Yingmian always felt that something was strange.
She couldn't tell what was strange about it.
She didn't know what to say, so she remained silent.
Shen Tingsi was also silent.
The wind is blowing.
The cemetery was already eerie, and when the wind blew, it blew the nearby cypress trees.
The wind startled the crows in the cypress trees, and they cawed and flew into the sky.
The sun slants westward and sets over the mountain daisy.
The sky gradually darkened.
"It's getting late, I should go back." Xie Yingmian stood up.
Shen Tingsi didn't move, obviously wanting to stay here for a while.
"Master Shen, do you have anything else to tell me?" Xie Yingmian asked. "If not, I will convey everything that happened today to Yu Lingye."
Shen Tingsi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "You found out."
Xie Yingmian: "Yu Lingye once said that the closer the friendship, the more important it is to maintain a sense of boundaries. If you don't speak, he won't ask."
"I don't think so."
Between close friends, a sense of boundaries must be maintained, and honesty is also important.
Just like Chen Tingsi to Yu Lingye.
For example, Lu Jiuyuan and Shen Tingsi.
Shen Tingsi looked at Xie Yingmian deeply and said, "I finally understand why Ah Ye was able to make the iron tree bloom."
Xie Yingmian:?
What does this have to do with whether Yu Lingye blooms or not?
