Chapter 1107 You are the first to know
When Fu Zhaoning heard that the temple master wanted to tell her a secret, she subconsciously wanted to refuse.
She doesn't want to hear his secrets at all, okay?
I always feel that listening to his secrets is not a good thing.
But it was too late for her to refuse, as the master of the temple had already spoken it out.
"Even if another twenty years pass, I will still look the same as I do now and will not grow old." When the master of the temple said this, his tone was still somewhat emotional.
He also reached out and touched his face.
A handsome man is a handsome man. When he does such a gesture, he doesn’t look effeminate at all. Instead, he has a kind of beauty that is so alluring that one is not aware of it.
Together with the unique light of the quartz in the cave, his face and body were covered with a layer of soft light, making his skin look even smoother and softer.
He was dressed in a green robe with wide sleeves, and his black hair cascaded down over his shoulders like water. He really looked like an immortal banished from heaven to the mortal world.
Xiaoyue was almost stunned.
Baihu also looked at him in amazement.
He won’t get old in another twenty years?
Fu Zhaoning's gaze also fell on his face, wondering whether his words were true or not.
"I looked like this when I was twenty-four. I have maintained this appearance since I was twenty-four, and it has not changed over the years." The master of the temple continued.
He looked at Fu Zhaoning tenderly, "Xiao Fu, your beauty is also the best in the world, but beauty is easy to fade, especially for women. Do you want to keep such a beautiful face like me and not age for decades?"
Fu Zhaoning came back to his senses a little.
She was actually quite shocked as well.
According to the master, isn't he too well-maintained? And how can he be sure that he won't age in another twenty years?
Her eyes fell on the basin of water in front of her.
"Master, are you trying to tell me that this is not water, but some kind of nectar, and that the reason you can stay young forever is because you drank this nectar?"
"Or," she paused, then continued, "the gift that the temple master wants to give me is this kind of elixir?"
Although she asked this, she actually didn't believe it at all.
Is there anything so powerful in this world that can allow a person to maintain his appearance and stay young forever?
Of course, medical aesthetics had already made great progress at her time, but compared with his natural youthfulness, it was still lacking.
Besides, it can't be as simple as just drinking something.
Fu Zhaoning felt that he was thinking too far.
"Magic dew? Haha." The master couldn't help laughing again, "Your idea is quite interesting. Is there magic dew in this world?"
"Then what does the master mean?"
"Or, can you please ask these two kids to move away? Xiao Fu, the reason I said it's a secret is that I only want to tell you."
Xiaoyue frowned slightly.
Why did she begin to feel that the tone of voice used by the master of Youqing Temple when speaking to the young lady was a little strange?
But they remembered their identities, and since Fu Zhaoning didn't say anything, they didn't speak either.
"They are people I trust," said Fu Zhaoning.
"Well, I didn't say I didn't trust them, but if we want to tell a secret, there has to be an atmosphere for it, right?"
It seemed like he really insisted on keeping Baihu and Xiaoyue away.
Fu Zhaoning made a gesture to Baihu and Xiaoyue, and they nodded slightly and stepped away.
At this distance, I can still see them, but I can't hear their whispers.
"Can you tell me now, Master?"
"This is water." The master tapped the basin of water with his chin. "But this is not ordinary water. I got it from the altar of the Dongqing Palace."
"Dong Qing?"
Fu Zhaoning looked at him with wide eyes in shock.
Has the master of the temple already been to Dongqing?
Xiao Lanyuan sent Lan Rong and many people to search for the old site of Dongqing. Now it is not known whether they have gained anything. However, the abbot said that he got this water from the altar of the Dongqing Palace?
"Have you been to Dongqing? Do you know where the palace of Dongqing is?"
The master nodded, "Yes."
"when?"
"When I was twenty-four."
Now the master of the temple was answering all the questions, as if he really was not hiding anything from her and was very frank.
Fu Zhaoning discovered something in his words. She could hardly hide her shock. "You mean, your appearance stayed the same the year you went to Dongqing, and you never aged again?"
Is this what you mean?
So the secret that the master told her was that his unchanged appearance was related to Dong Qing? Or was it related to the altar in the Dong Qing Palace?
"Yes." The master nodded.
"Because of this water?"
"It's not entirely because of the water," the temple master said. "I have been researching the reason over the years. I can only say that the water may have something to do with it, but it can't be purely because of it. This is all the water I brought back at the time. The reason I used this jade basin to hold it is because this jade basin was also taken from there."
"The water in this jade basin has remained clear for many years, but when it is placed in other containers, it will gradually become a little turbid. I suspect that this is not pure water, but it should contain some medicinal herbs or something. You are a doctor and Master Ji's apprentice, so I think you know a lot about medicinal herbs. So I am giving this water to you now, and maybe you can study it to find out what it is."
I really want to give her this small jar of water as a gift!
Fu Zhaoning was speechless for a moment.
"Are you asking how I got to Dong Qing's palace? I accidentally entered there and was trapped there for several months. I hardly saw the sun for several months. It was an earthquake that caused a crack there, and I was able to escape."
The master of the temple held his face with one hand, looking a little lazy.
His eyes were a little vacant, as if he was recalling those days.
"If I were to go back the same way now, I might not be able to find it. After I came out, I realized that this should be the altar of the Dongqing Palace. And our Siyu clan is also from Dongqing. Let me tell you another secret."
The master of the temple shifted his gaze back to Fu Zhaoning's face, and his voice was soft and gentle like a feather brushing against her heart.
"What the world knows are all my pseudonyms. My real surname is Si Yu and my given name is Qing Jun."
Si Yu Qingjun.
"Is there a surname called Si Yu?" Fu Zhaoning was at a loss.
"It's extremely rare, and very few people have heard of it. You knew my name before A Yuan did."
"A Yuan doesn't know your real name?"
"Yes, I never told him his real name, and the Queen Mother doesn't know it either." The master smiled gently. "Will you keep it a secret for me?"
Fu Zhaoning looked at him, "Is your name also a secret? Do you still need to keep it secret?"
"Although few people have heard of the Si Yu clan, there are still people who know about it. In fact, I know that there must be people who want to find me. For example, the other Tang family."
"Another Tang family? Not the Tang family of Tang Wujuan in Qingtong Mountain?"
