In Jude's tent
Wu Xie and Qiu Dekao sat facing each other, each holding a copy of a Lu Huang silk cloth. Qiu Dekao said in a gentle voice, "Want to cooperate? I'm sincere."
Wu Xie stared at the silk book in his hand for a long time, slowly put it back on the table, and said, "This silk book is not real."
Qiu Dekao picked up the silk book and tore it in half. Then he put it back in its place and said, "Yes, this is just a copy I bought at a high price."
"How can you show your sincerity by bringing out a replica?" Wuxie didn't care.
"Do you understand the contents of the silk book?" Qiu De asked.
Wu Xie nodded slightly, "I can understand part of it. The location mentioned above should be here."
Qiu Dekao's lips curled slightly as he said, "The clue provided by the silk book is this place."
When Wu Xie heard this, he leaned back in his chair with his arms folded over his chest and asked, "What's the value of that?"
Qiu Dekao said with a smile, "What's truly valuable is the origin of this Lu Huang Silk. You've been searching for it for so long, but have you ever thought about where it came from?"
Wuxie raised an eyebrow, "You know?"
"I can't guarantee the others, but the one I have is from the Seventh of the Nine Gates, Huo Xiangu."
Wu Xie said thoughtfully, "It turns out that this old lady Huo had already found clues about Lu Huangbo..."
Qiu Dekao said, "This is nothing to be surprised about. The longer someone is active, the more they know. After all, she's the only one still alive from the Old Nine Gates. So, Third Master, is my sincerity enough now?"
"Okay, I can cooperate with you, but your subordinates must cooperate with my actions." Wuxie nodded.
"So, what's the next move?"
"Search the mountain."
…
"What? Okay, I'll be right there."
Ji Huaichuan breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone, turned around to find Zhang Qiling, and told him to stay with Fatty and the others and wait for him to come back.
"Where are you going?" Zhang Qiling asked.
Ji Huaichuan patted Zhang Qiling's hat and said with a smile: "Children should not ask about adult matters. Just wait for me to come back."
Zhang Qiling looked at Ji Huaichuan with disapproval, accusing him of his current behavior. Ji Huaichuan gently hugged Zhang Qiling and whispered in his ear, "You have to protect Fatty and Wuxie here. I will take care of myself and come back safely. I promise that even if I lose a hair, I will let you do whatever you want when I get back."
Zhang Qiling looked at Ji Huaichuan, silently raised his hand and pulled a strand of his hair and held it in front of his eyes. Ji Huaichuan narrowed his eyes and pinched Zhang Qiling's face, "It doesn't count if you cheat! Let's go."
Zhang Qiling was ultimately unable to keep Ji Huaichuan. Watching his departing figure, Zhang Qiling turned around to look for Fatty. Xiaochuan said that he had to stay close to them.
At the foot of Changbai Mountain, Ji Huaichuan looked at the villa on the opposite hillside, feeling a little uncertain.
"Are you sure that old man is here?"
[It's absolutely true. I searched for it for a long time before I finally found it. Chen Tingsi has been staying here recently.] Li Guang lay in the space, eating fruit, feeling very comfortable.
"It's better this way, otherwise..." Ji Huaichuan chuckled twice.
This laughter made Li Guang shudder. He rubbed his arms and said
[Don't try to be perverted like your master, that's not good!]
Ji Huaichuan waved his hands, "How could that be? I'm not that kind of person."
After saying that, he raised his foot and walked towards the opposite mountain. It looked close but it was still some distance away. Ji Huaichuan had not been back to this yard for a long time. When he reached the door, Ji Huaichuan politely knocked on the door. After waiting for a while, he found that there was no movement inside. Ji Huaichuan pushed the door open and went in. The yard was swept very clean. There was a dark green dress on the swing. Ji Huaichuan knew at a glance that it belonged to Shen Tingsi. Li Guang did not lie to him.
Ji Huaichuan cleared his throat and shouted to the room, "Come out, you old bastard!"
A stone caused a thousand ripples, and the originally quiet yard became noisy. The tree planted in the middle of the yard attacked Ji Huaichuan with its fangs and claws bared. Ji Huaichuan slid out his bone fan to cut off the branches and dodged to the side. The trunk of the tree shook a few times, and a few leaves flew towards Ji Huaichuan. Ji Huaichuan raised his hand to block them with the fan, and flew onto the wall.
"Chen Tingsi, come out here!" Ji Huaichuan stood on the wall and shouted angrily towards the yard.
Soon, I heard a sly voice, "Your Highness, why didn't you go on vacation with your baby? Why did you come all the way to this desolate mountain to find me?"
Following the voice, there appeared a man who looked very different from the crowd. It was Shen Tingsi, who had never done anything for anyone.
"How dare you come out?" Ji Huaichuan rolled his eyes.
Shen Tingsi smiled and said, "Didn't you ask me to come out?"
"Master Shen, the mirror conspiracy in Banai was your work, right? You built a new village modeled after the original Yao village and replaced the people in the original village. What exactly are you trying to achieve?" Ji Huaichuan asked.
Shen Tingsi leaned against the door frame, the ebony folding fan turning back and forth between his fingers, making his knuckles look jade-white. He chuckled and said, "Young prince, please don't blame me for everything. If you live long enough, you should find something to do. I only participated in the construction. As for the rest, I know nothing."
Ji Huaichuan pursed his lips and said, "I don't believe it."
Shen Tingsi was amused by his reaction, put away his folding fan and waved at him, "Come down, it's not tiring to stand. Since you really want to know, I'll take you to see it."
Hearing the sound, Ji Huaichuan jumped down from the wall doubtfully and followed Shen Tingsi into the house. When he walked into the inner room, Ji Huaichuan saw a man lying on the bed. It was Zhang Rishan, whom he had met before. Ji Huaichuan asked curiously, "Why is he here too?"
Shen Tingsi glanced back and said softly, "He came here on his own. I warned him. If he doesn't leave, there's nothing I can do. It's just that God wants to help me."
Ji Huaichuan frowned. Only one tenth or twelve percent of what Shen Tingsi said was true. However, Zhang Rishan had nothing to do with him. He had said everything he needed to say. Since he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't cause trouble for himself. What's more, he wanted to resurrect his brother, so Ji Huaichuan was happy to see it happen.
Without thinking any more, Ji Huaichuan followed Shen Tingsi into the secret room, not noticing the flash of golden light on Zhang Rishan's fingers, and the floor that turned blood red the moment he stepped into the secret room.
Shen Tingsi led Ji Huaichuan through many twists and turns into a secret passage. Ji Huaichuan was getting a little impatient. Just as he was about to ask, Shen Tingsi said, "We're here."
What appeared before Ji Huaichuan was a topographic map of the entire Banai. Shen Tingsi smiled at Ji Huaichuan and said, "This is the topography of the Yao Village before. The highest one is the Zhang family's ancient building. After all, it is guarding your tomb. It is reasonable for me to participate in their own construction. I am looking after my subordinates."
