I Raise Spiders in Pansi Cave

In fact, ordinary people are neither annoying nor hated.Qi Wufei thought about it carefully, the pity he felt for Zhao Xiyang in his heart was real, but this pity came out of nowhere, as if he was superior.

He immediately realized that this was a dangerous signal.He shouldn't have felt this way in his heart.

All people are equal.There are right and wrong things, no one is noble or humble.Now that the real Zhao Xiyang was in front of him, what qualifications did he have to pity him, pity a real and ordinary human nature?

However, this kind of real ordinariness or ordinary truth did not increase his confidence in Zhao Xiyang at all.As long as this guy is still squatting on the ground, then no matter what, he is not trustworthy.Since it is not worthy of trust, then naturally this deal cannot be done today.This made it a bit difficult for Qi Wufei to deal with.

He really wanted to help Zhao Xiyang.But he knew very well that others could not help him.The only one who can help him is himself.

Zhao Xiyang squatted on the ground and cried like a child. She cried until there were no tears in her eyes and no sound in her mouth. Counting the time, it might have been an hour.Even for a child, this is considered long enough to cry.

The trucks running over the ground on the road in the distance brought rumbling vibrations, but made the dark and narrow basement even more quiet.The two men in the basement, one standing, the other squatting, are like two unseen bronze sculptures placed here by some boring artist.

Finally, as a heavy truck went away with a heavy voice, Zhao Xiyang stood up abruptly, his tears-washed eyes radiated firm light, and two muddy but powerful words came out of his hoarse throat, It was as if the snakehead lying in the mud at the bottom of the river spit out two bubbles and rushed up to the surface of the river with the sand, bringing life to the pool of stagnant water:

"Thank you!"

For some unknown reason, Qi Wufei was suddenly touched, like a teacher who hates iron and steel but suddenly received a card with vows from the student with the worst grade in his class on Teacher's Day.

Before he had time to say anything, Zhao Xiyang turned around and left.

"Where are you going?" Qi Wufei asked.

"Go to Chunyue." Zhao Xiyang said without looking back, "You are right, I should say these words in front of her."

Qi Wufei said: "You can figure it out, I should congratulate you. But, shall we talk about cooperation first..."

However, Zhao Xiyang did not stop his footsteps.

He had already gone a long way when Qi Wufei chased him out.

Looking at the back of Zhao Xiyang striding forward in the dark night, Qi Wufei did not continue to chase, shook his head, half relieved, half sighed with regret, then turned around and helped him close the rolling shutter door of the shop.

……

Duanmu Wei was upset by a phone call from Qi Wufei.

Originally, she was only sad because Dongyue was gone, and the attitude of flying together and the note left by Dongyue made her quite jealous.

However, she herself is not the kind of person who is extremely jealous, and after thinking about it, she feels that it is a bit ridiculous to be jealous of a dead person.

After taking a hot bath, she managed to calm down this complicated mood, and wanted to have a good night's sleep, but the phone calls from all of them made her sleepless.

She realized the seriousness of the situation and felt it necessary to discuss it with her family.Although Qi Wufei explained that it is best not to mention this matter to her family, especially when Duanmu Bowen is not around.But from Duanmuwei's point of view, it is impossible for her to hide it from her father, especially since their entire family is likely to be involved in this matter.

After calling Duanmu Bowen and being unable to get through, Duanmuwei decided to go to Duanmucheng.Before leaving, she planned to tell Xiaoxue to let her live here with peace of mind, and never go out casually.But Xiaoxue was already asleep, so Duanmuwei didn't bother her anymore, she just left a note by the bed and hurried out.

"It's because of that kid's affairs again?" Duanmucheng saw his daughter coming late at night, pulled himself out of the bed desperately, and scolded, "Stinky girl, I've never seen you so active in my family's affairs!"

"Has grandpa come back?" Duanmu Wei ignored the playfulness in his father's tone.

"Ouyang Tianjun is in Nalan City. We have provided him with another courtyard. No matter whether he can live or not, nothing will happen to him. Your grandfather is watching over there personally." There was a bit of anxiety and uneasiness on the face, so he took it seriously, "What happened?"

Duanmuwei briefly talked about Dongyue's affairs, skipped some of the details, and only talked about the main points.

Duanmucheng was puzzled at the beginning, but the more he heard about it, the more serious the expression on his face became.

"Are you sure what you heard are the key of the holy palace and the relic of the empress?" Duanmucheng asked.

"Sure." Duanmuwei said with certainty, "Xiaoxue made it very clear that although the note Dongyue left for Qi Wufei didn't mention the key of the Holy Palace, it also mentioned the relics of the empress."

"Great man... great man..." Duanmucheng said to himself twice, then stood up abruptly, "You wait here, I'll go find your grandpa."

Duanmucheng left, leaving behind Duanmuwei with an anxious face.About half an hour later, Duanmucheng and Duanmu Bowen came back together.

As soon as he entered the door, Duanmu Bowen asked Duanmu Wei to retell the ins and outs of the matter.Compared with Duanmucheng, Duanmu Bowen asked more carefully.

After Duanmu Wei finished speaking, Duanmu Bowen thought for a long time.

Duanmucheng asked anxiously: "Father, the key to the Holy Palace is an extremely secret matter, only the elders of the clan and the heads of the past generations know about it, how can the outside world know about it?"

"What secret?" Duanmu Wei was surprised, "I don't even know?"

Duanmu Bowen said: "I didn't intend to hide it from you. This is a rule handed down from our ancestors. But since this happened now, it's okay to tell you. Our family is originally a royal family, and the ancestor tablets are all royal descendants. It is also traced back to the emperors of the Zhuzi Dynasty in the past. Although they are illustrious, they are all mortals, so they cannot be regarded as our ancestors in practice. In terms of sects, our ancestors who opened the sect must be traced back to the empress of Jinsheng Palace. It is because of her that we can step into the door of practice. Most of the world thinks that our practice is due to Tang monks and apprentices. It is said that when they passed Zhuzi Kingdom, they not only cured the king’s illness, but also rescued the king from Qilin Mountain Demon King Sai Taisui. After returning to the Empress of Jinsheng Palace, she also taught the princes how to practice."

"Isn't that the case?" Duanmu Wei looked blank, "I know it's the same!"

Duanmu Bowen shook his head and said: "Although the rumors are not very different from the facts back then, the inheritance of our sect is not due to Tang Monk's master and apprentice. Think about it, they have only lived in Zhu Ziguo for a few days? It's just a few days. Wouldn’t it be impossible to inherit the next sect? Besides, if this is the case, wouldn’t we treat them as the ancestors? If this is true, I have no objection. But it’s a pity that it’s not the case. You’ve seen us Did you pay respects to Monkey King or Zhu Bajie when worshiping the patriarch?"

"Of course not." Duanmu Wei said while recalling, "Then who is our patriarch?"

"The Patriarch is the Patriarch you saw, Duanmuqing. Although he did not become an immortal in the end, he was indeed the one who created our sect. He was the son of the king and the empress of Jinsheng Palace. He was supposed to inherit The throne, but the empress said that the emperor's value is only half a lifetime of vanity, which will only increase the troubles of the whole body. It is better to jump out of the world, ask him to live forever, and also find a way for the future generations of the family. From then on, our prince embarked on the road of practice. road."

"Then who is his master?"

"His master is Jin Shenggong Empress herself."

"Ah..." Duanmuwei exclaimed, "Your Majesty knows the way? But...it's not that it is said that she is just an ordinary person who was arrested by Sai Taisui and imprisoned for three years. Fortunately, Master Ziyang gave her immortal clothes to save her. Innocent, was he rescued by Monkey King in the end?"

Duanmu Bowen smiled and said: "These are all legends, and there are indeed relevant records in the notes left by the empress. But haven't you thought about the irrationality in it?"

"Of course I've thought about it!" Duanmuwei opened her eyes wide and said, "Your Majesty is born beautiful, and she is so beautiful in the world, but there are many beautiful women in the world. Sai Taisui is a demon in the lower realm, so why did you want to kidnap your Majesty to become Mrs. Yazhai? Ziyang The real person passed by, why should she be given Xiayi to protect her body? If it is sympathetic, why not just rescue her? Also, Sai Taisui imprisoned her for three years and couldn't even touch her, but she still never left her. How can this be? It doesn't look like a monster robbing people, but it looks like a beautiful love story!"

Duanmu Bowen said: "You are right. In fact, the Empress of Jinsheng Palace is not an ordinary person at all. She is a pomegranate tree by the Hailiu Pavilion."

"What?!" Duanmu Wei was taken aback, "My lady...she...she is a goblin? Then...then we are all..."

"They are all descendants of goblins." Duanmu Bowen touched the mustache on his lips, and said the half sentence that Duanmuwei dared not say, "We all have the blood of goblins. Although more than 1000 years have passed, this The blood has been diluted long ago. As long as we don’t tell, no one will know. But this doesn’t change the fact that we are fairies. In essence, we are all half-human and half-demon things. Maybe one day a genetic mutation, A true demon will appear among our descendants."

Chapter 560: The Secret of the Golden Sage

Duanmu Bowen didn't change his face when he spoke, as if he was talking about a very common thing, but Duanmu Wei was terrified when he heard it, and even Duanmu Cheng who was beside him kept frowning.

"Grandpa..." Duanmu Wei was a little hard to accept, but she didn't know what to say.

It's like a layer of window paper, once it is pierced, it will suddenly become clear, and all the things that were incomprehensible in the past will be understood.

When King Zhuzi was still a prince, he met the empress of Jinsheng Palace next to the present Hailiu Pavilion.At that time, there was no Hailiu Pavilion, and there was no Acacia Lake. There was only a sea-like pomegranate grove.In the following many years, the prince never saw his mother again, and suffered from lovesickness because of this, so he built the Acacia Pavilion here, which was later called the Hailiu Pavilion.The prince tried his best to find the beauty standing in the sea of ​​pomegranate flowers, but after many years, the beauty suddenly appeared.At that time, the prince had already ascended the throne and became a king, from a handsome young man to a mature and stable king of a country, but the beauty was still young and as beautiful as a flower.These things have always been regarded as folk tales, and have only been sung in ancient operas to this day.But if it is said that Jin Shenggong's empress is a pomegranate tree spirit, then everything becomes reasonable, and the joke is close to the truth.

Sai Taisui is a ten thousand year old demon, so it is reasonable to marry a thousand year tree spirit and return to be Mrs. Yazhai.

"It's just why did Master Zhang Ziyang send a Xiayi to the empress?" Duanmu Wei asked with the last doubt.

Duanmu Bowen said: "That Xiayi was not given by the real Zhang Ziyang at all. In fact, it is not a Xiayi, but a Shenmu thorn. It is a thorny vine that is entwined on the pomegranate tree and coexists with the pomegranate tree. It is also the mother's life. Magic weapon. That's why Sai Taisui can't get close."

"I know, the empress was already a princess at that time, and she didn't want to betray the king, but she couldn't get rid of the monster. Maybe the monster was infatuated, which made her fall into a dilemma. So she borrowed the hands of Master Ziyang to make her natal magic weapon Said it was Xiayi. This way, neither the king nor the infatuated monster will be betrayed. But which one does the empress prefer..." Duanmuwei said while thinking, the expression on his face was suddenly bewildered, and suddenly he was suddenly relieved.

Duanmucheng shook his head and said: "You have a brain, you know how to think about silly things!"

Duanmu Wei pouted and said angrily: "I'm not just thinking about it, that's what happened!" Perhaps she felt embarrassed too, so she changed the subject and said, "Then what does this have to do with today's events?"

Duanmu Bowen said: "After the goddess left, she left behind a lot of relics. But the most precious and important things were locked by him in the secret realm of Jinsheng Palace."

"The secret realm of Jinsheng Palace?" Duanmu Wei asked curiously, "Hasn't the Jinsheng Palace disappeared long ago? Even the current ruins have been explored above and below ground. Where did the secret realm come from?"

"I don't know either." Duanmu Bowen said, "As for the secret realm, it is clearly recorded in the family classics, and it is also scattered in the notes left by the empress. For so many years we have always thought that the secret realm is in Qilin Mountain. A while ago we thought I found it myself, but now it seems that maybe not.”

"Qilin Mountain? Xiezhi Cave?" Duanmu Wei immediately thought of the thrilling encounter in Qilin Mountain, "Grandpa, you mean that we have been looking for the Xiezhi Cave in Qilin Mountain because you thought it was the secret place of the Golden Sacred Palace? "

"That's right." Duanmu Bowen nodded, and then asked, "Do you know how the title Empress of Jinsheng Palace came about?"

"Of course it was granted by the king." Duanmuwei said.

"It seems so on the surface. But you are wrong." Duanmu Bowen said, "At that time, monsters with a little ability were called kings and saints. For example, Sun Wukong was called the Monkey King in the early days, and later he was called the Monkey King, and sworn sworn brothers with him He has seven brothers, known as the Seven Great Saints. Naturally, a monster as powerful as Sai Taisui must be called a saint, and his original body is Jinmaoji..."

"You mean, the word Jinsheng in Jinsheng Palace refers to the Golden Retriever Sai Taisui?!" Before Duanmu Bowen finished speaking, Duanmu Wei cried out in surprise.

"That's right. Jin Sheng Jin Sheng is talking about the Golden Retriever, that is, Sai Taisui Golden Retriever. Jin Sheng Palace is the residence of Sai Tai Sui, so the empress is called Jin Sheng Gong Empress. Because of this, we always I thought that the Golden Holy Palace in Nalan City was just a cover, and the real secret place of the Golden Holy Palace should be in Qilin Mountain." Duanmu Bowen said while stroking his beard, as if he was thinking. "The last time we found the real Xiezhi Cave, because there were indeed many relics of the empress found inside, and there were some secrets that could not be revealed to the outside world. So we thought we had found the secret realm of the Golden Holy Palace."

"The only question is that we haven't found a lock that needs to be opened with a key." Duan Mucheng next to him added, "Because we don't know whether the key given by the empress is for opening a door or a box, so this Questions are just questions and cannot be used as evidence. If it is a box, it may have been taken away by someone long ago, or it may have been destroyed by that big snake."

"That was indeed what we thought at the time. But now it seems that we were wrong." Duanmu Bowen said, "Judging from Weier's description, the other key should be in Dongyue's hands. And since someone wants to If you are eager to get it, then it is likely that you have discovered the secret realm or the treasure in the secret realm, but you only need a key to open it."

Duanmucheng said: "But the empress unexpectedly left two keys, which naturally need to be used at the same time to open them. Even if they took that one, what's the use without the one in our hands?"

"This is the scary thing..." Duanmu Bowen's narrowed eyes suddenly opened suddenly, and Duanmucheng was also startled, as if thinking of something, the father and son said at the same time, "They have been eyeing us for a long time!"

Duanmu Wei was taken aback when the father and son sang and talked in unison.

"What the hell are you talking about? What the hell is the key?" he asked.

Duanmucheng explained: "According to the family secret book, the empress left two keys. One is in our hands, and it is kept by the patriarch of the family, that is, the head of the family. The other is elsewhere. Here, it seems that it is the Dongyue girl now. The gate of the secret realm of Jinsheng Palace or the treasures in the secret realm need these two keys to open."

Duanmuwei finally understood, but she was still a little puzzled: "One key is kept by the head of our family, which makes sense, but why is the other key in Dongyue's hands?"

Duanmucheng also looked puzzled and looked at Duanmu Bowen.

Duanmu Bowen lit a pot of cigarettes, took two puffs, and said: "The empress is a pomegranate tree, and there are so many pomegranate trees by the Acacia Lake, all of which are connected with each other, should she be allowed to open up her spiritual wisdom? "

Duanmucheng and Duanmuwei suddenly realized at the same time, but their expressions were completely different.Duanmucheng nodded frequently, but Duanmuwei yelled: "Grandpa! You mean Dongyue is a pomegranate tree?! This... this is impossible! No! This is too crazy!"

Duanmu Bowen said with a smile: "Don't forget, you also have goblin blood on your body."

Duanmu Wei wanted to refute, but lost her voice.

I think of the note left by Dongyue, I think of the pomegranate tree dug up by the roots by the Xiangsi Lake, I think of the unseasonable pomegranate flowers blooming that day, and the sky is full of rain...

She knew what Grandpa said was true.At the same time, she was sure that Qi Wufei knew the truth a long time ago.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Wei felt a little bit aggrieved again.Why do you all know it, but why don't you tell me!

After Duanmucheng nodded, he had a new question: "We don't even know that Dongyue is holding the key, let alone that Dongyue is a pomegranate tree spirit. How do others know?"

Duanmu Bowen sighed and said: "Oh, actually, I should have thought of it earlier. Apart from us unworthy descendants, there should be other reliable people around the empress. But in the palace back then, apart from the royal family, there were only maids and eunuchs, so reliable The person must be outside. And with her status, who else is outside? The pomegranate trees by the Acacia Lake are thousands of years old, and we often walk under those trees, but never thought that there is actually a person inside. An old man. But it’s okay, okay! Thanks to this, the secret realm of the Holy Palace can be preserved to this day.”

Let me add a sentence, it’s really good, it’s worth pretending, after all, you can cache books and read aloud offline!

"What do you mean by that?"

"More than 100 years ago, there was a traitor in our family. His name was Duan Muze, and he was of the same generation as me. I should call him a cousin. At that time, he was considered a rare genius in the family, and he was even better than me in some aspects. Stronger, he is a strong contender for the heir of the family. It is a pity that this person is not righteous, and he was reprimanded by the head of the time for doing unrighteous things many times. Later, he felt resentful, and because he had no hope of gaining power, he went to the family treasury Among them were some notes left by the empress and the key to the secret realm. But fortunately, the matter was exposed and the things were recovered, so he was convicted of this, and he was expelled from the house after his cultivation base was abolished."

Duanmu Bowen said this in one breath, stopped, put the cigarette stick to his mouth, and took two puffs.

Duan Mucheng said: "I have heard about this matter, but I don't know so many details. But doesn't it mean that the person is dead?"

"I suspect he's still alive." Duanmu Bowen put down the cigarette stick and exhaled a puff of white mist, "To be honest, this person is very smart, but he is not used in the right way. But such a person is not easy to die. When I checked the warehouse later , I found that the few pages of the empress notes he stole and found back were missing a few pages, and he probably tore them up. And these pages are likely to contain clues about the secret realm and the key of the secret realm of Jinsheng Palace."

"Father, what should we do now?" Duanmucheng asked.

"We must find this person first." Duanmu Bowen said.

Duanmucheng nodded and said, "Father, I have already guessed where this person is."
