Chapter 1151 Good Intentions
Xiao Xixi asked someone to invite senior brother Fang Wujiu over.
Fang Wujiu seemed to have expected this to happen. When he came, he was holding a heavy copper box in his hand.
Xiao Xixi recognized the box as soon as she saw it.
"Isn't this the box that Master left behind?"
Fang Wujiu smiled slightly: "That's right."
Xiao Xixi: "Can I see what's in here?"
Fang Wujiu: "Of course."
He opened the box and revealed three things inside.
An opened letter.
An insect flute.
And a black porcelain bottle.
Xiao Xixi didn't touch the insect flute or the porcelain bottle, but picked up the letter directly.
She looked at the eldest brother with a questioning look.
After getting the approval from her senior brother, she couldn't wait to take out the letter paper.
The first half of the letter mainly talks about the past grievances between Xuanjizi and Kongchan, and emphasizes that Xixi should not seek revenge on Kongchan.
Unfortunately it's too late.
When Fang Wujiu saw the letter, Xixi had already run to find Kong Chan.
Xuanjizi seemed to have anticipated such a development. He said in the letter:
As a teacher, I know that Xixi is filial and she will definitely not give up the idea of revenge.
If you can't stop her, then take the white porcelain bottle with you, and when Xixi is in danger of her life, feed her the medicine in the white porcelain bottle.
That medicine was made by me using countless rare medicinal herbs, and I also added my heart's essence and blood to it. It has the effect of bringing people back to life.
No matter how badly Xixi was injured, as long as she was still alive, she could be saved with this bottle of medicine.
This is the last thing the teacher can do for her.
I hope she can protect herself well in the future and not get hurt again.
…
When Xiao Xixi saw this, her eyes couldn't help but become moist.
It is rumored that Xuanmen has a secret recipe that can make people immortal. In fact, what Xuanmen really possesses is a secret recipe that can bring people back to life.
But that secret recipe requires countless precious medicinal materials, the most important of which is the essence and blood of the heart.
The essence and blood in a person's heart is extremely precious. It is the source of all the vitality in the person. Once it is taken out, the body will quickly become weak, and those who are unlucky may even lose their lives.
This is also the main reason why Xuanmen has always hidden the secret recipe and is unwilling to tell others.
Resurrection from the dead, just hearing these four words is enough to drive countless people crazy.
But the price is to sacrifice another person's life.
If this secret recipe falls into the hands of the powerful, it would be equivalent to extending their lives countless times, and the common people at the bottom would become tools for the powerful to suck the lives out of them, and the order of this world would completely collapse.
Therefore, Xuanmen kept this secret recipe very well. Generally, apart from the sect leader, only the sect leader's successor and a very small number of people whom the sect leader trusts know it.
Fang Wujiu knew about this, and Xiao Xixi also knew about it.
It was only after reading this letter that she realized that the reason she was able to survive was because of her master's sacrifice.
The master must have anticipated that her life might be in danger, so he prepared a secret medicine for her that could bring her back to life.
Because he took out his heart's essence and blood to refine medicine, his body became extremely weak.
Kong Chan took advantage of Xuanjizi's weakness and launched a sneak attack on him.
Xiao Xixi murmured, "If it wasn't for saving me, Master wouldn't have become so weak. If he wasn't so weak, Kong Chan wouldn't have been able to succeed in his sneak attack... So the source of all this is me?"
Fang Wujiu: "But you almost lost your life because you wanted to avenge your master. If nothing had happened to your master, you wouldn't have put yourself in danger."
Xiao Xixi: "But Master got into trouble because of me."
Fang Wujiu: "That's not the case. Master predicted that you might die, so he made preparations in advance.
If he had done nothing, perhaps nothing that happened would have happened.
Between letting things take their course and preparing in advance, he chose the latter.
This was his own decision!
I guess when he made the decision, he was prepared for the worst.”
Xiao Xixi was stunned.
She suddenly remembered what her master said in her dream -
"Everything in the world is predestined. The only thing I can change is this moment. No one can predict what will happen in the next moment or the moment after that, not even you who have the third eye."
At that time, Xiao Xixi didn't understand what those words meant.
At this moment she finally understood.
Because the master calculated that Xixi would encounter a life-and-death catastrophe in the future, he made preparations in advance to resolve this catastrophe.
But he didn't expect that he was the one who caused the tragedy.
He can change what is happening at the moment, but he cannot predict in which direction things will develop after being changed?
Everything is certain at this moment, but every second in the future is uncertain.
That's why her master told her to let things take their own course.
He had already experienced this bloody mistake, and he didn't want her to make the same mistake again.
Xiao Xixi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled the foul air that was trapped in her chest.
Even after his death, his master did not forget to comfort her in his dreams. How could she let his good intentions go to waste?
Since her life was saved by her master at all costs, she must live well and must not let her master's sacrifice go to waste.
She opened her eyes; her eye sockets were still a little red, but her gaze had become clear and firm.
Fang Wujiu was a little worried about her at first, but when he saw that her expression had returned to normal, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and an expression of relief involuntarily appeared on his face.
The junior sister is becoming more and more mature. If the master is still in heaven, he would surely be very pleased.
Xiao Xixi looked at the letter in her hand again.
The last paragraph of the letter talks about the King of Nanyue.
…
The Insect Flute and the Gu King were entrusted to me by King Nanyue before his death, asking me to pass them on to Xixi.
She meant to let Xixi take over the position of King Nanyue.
But I know Xixi's personality. She is used to being free and easy, and she definitely doesn't want to take on such a heavy responsibility.
The master suggested that the two treasures be temporarily handed over to Wujiu for safekeeping, and that Wujiu look for a suitable heir to the throne in Nanyue.
Until a successor is found, Xixi will temporarily take over as King of Nanyue.
…
The content of the letter ends here.
Xiao Xixi didn't believe it, so she turned the letter over and looked at it, but there was not a single word on the back.
She shook the envelope again, but still didn't see any other letter paper.
Fang Wujiu: "You also saw that Master wants you to temporarily take over the position of King Nanyue."
Xiao Xixi was furious: "I already have a position as the head of Xuanmen, with no salary, no vacation, no benefits, nothing except a metal plaque! That's fine, but you actually want me to have two positions? Don't even think about it! I, Xiao Xixi, will never work two jobs!"
…
For the extra chapter of Salted Fish, I plan to write a story with a modern background, telling the story of Xixi and Luo Qinghan growing up together as childhood sweethearts, focusing on their daily sweet moments.
Xixi and Luo Qinghan both had miserable childhoods. I want to give them a chance to start over and make their lives more fulfilling.
Besides, I am tired of writing ancient Chinese and want to change the taste.
The extra chapters won't be too long. I will be writing them while preparing the manuscripts for the new book, so the update speed of the extra chapters won't be too fast. Please read them as you like. Xoxo~
Please give me a monthly ticket~~~~
