son sick

"Fake." Ling Yin weighed the herbs in his hand and said casually.

"why?"

"Because in this world, there is only the one and only white jade peony flower pendant."

As he spoke, he carefully divided the herbs in his hand without lifting his eyelids.

"The flower pendant was specially asked for by the young master when he was born. Qi Nian has carried it for more than 20 years since he was a child. I heard that the master who carved the jade passed away after the jade pendant was completed, so there is no second chance in the world. The same flower pendant."

"but……"

"I just read it in my room this morning when I was delivering the medicine to the young master... After so many years, I will never admit my mistake."

Lian Meng touched the jade pendant hidden in his sleeve, looking a little puzzled.

Ling Yin stopped what he was doing, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Lian Meng with blank eyes: "What? You picked up a white jade peony pendant?"

"Uh……"

Before Lian Meng could answer, Ling Yin said firmly, "It's fake."

A basin of cold water was poured down, but Lian Meng decided to make a final struggle, "But it looks exactly the same as the real thing."

"Take it out and let me have a look." With that said, Ling Yin stretched out his hand towards him.

"This……"

Seeing that Lian Meng hesitated, Ling Yin said again: "Why, are you still afraid that I will take your things? You must know that I am only interested in two things in this world, one is weird diseases, and the other is stunning beauty People, regard money as rotten wood and dung, you can rest assured of me."

Lian Meng was not afraid that Ling Yin would corrupt his jade pendant, but...

"how?"

"You can't tell Qi Nian about this."

"why?"

"I'm afraid he'll misunderstand that I'm the kind of cock-ridden person."

"Since when did you care about what my young master thinks of you?"

Lian Meng didn't speak.

Ling Yin suddenly smiled as if he understood something.

"Okay, I promise you," he said, lifting his chin, and repeated again, "Take it out and let me see."

Lian Meng reluctantly took out the jade robe, and was still hesitating when Ling Yin snatched it away.

He weighed the weight first, then looked at it for a while with a frown, and finally looked back and forth several times, and finally said with an unfathomable expression: "I didn't expect that the fakes are now so realistic."

"Fake?"

"Hmm. Although it looks real, this jade pendant must be fake."

"why?"

"Intuition." Ling Yin replied solemnly.

Lian Meng still felt strange.

He had picked up the white jade peony pendant when he entered and exited the Qi Mansion before.The current piece is the same as Qi Nian's piece in terms of touch and other things, and it doesn't look fake at all.

"I have seen and touched Qi Nian's jade pendant countless times. Although this piece is very similar to it, my intuition tells me that it is completely different from that of Qi Nian. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless there is more than one white jade peony flower pendant in this world."

"..."

"But you also listened to me, the master who carved the jade passed away after he finished it. Could it be that he is still a lonely soul and continues to carve jade?"

Lian Meng nodded thoughtfully.He could hear clearly, but he still felt puzzled in his heart.

Even if this piece is a fake, who made it, and how did it end up in that abandoned coffin shop?

Lian Meng thought about it, then took the jade pendant back from Ling Yin's hand, and put it in his sleeve properly.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ling Yin turned around and sorted the herbs.

Then, as if he remembered something, he suddenly said: "We may have to leave Peony Pavilion early."

"Oh?"

"Master's condition seems to be getting worse..."

Hearing about Qi Nian's illness, Lian Meng's heart tightened unknowingly: "What's wrong with him?"

"I was just weak before, but recently I suddenly started coughing. I don't know if it's because of the rain at night, and I got cold; or there is too much pollen in this place, and I haven't adapted to it."

"But the bumpy journey may be more detrimental to the condition..."

"I can't help it either." Ling Yin sighed.

"Then this time, you're going to find the divine doctor you mentioned earlier?"

"Well. I heard before that in the apricot forest on the west side of Ningyan City, there is indeed a doctor with great powers. This time I stayed in the Peony Pavilion, not only to get the cloth customized by the young master, but also because I wanted to find out where the doctor lived. .”

"Is that a proper inquiry?"

"Well. It's about a day and night's journey from here."

"Really." Lian Meng nodded, "But, is the doctor really as powerful as the legend says?"

"Of course. It is said that he is a hundred-year-old pharmacist, and he must have more knowledge than me. Even if he has never seen this disease, he should know some clues."

Lian Meng had heard that some reclusive pharmacists in Jianghu knew how to bring the dead back to life.

If the dead can be cured, then there should be a way to cure Qi Nian's madness.

"So when do we set off?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"Okay," Lian Meng replied, he was about to go out, but stopped again.

"What's wrong?" Ling Yin asked.

"I want to ask you, have you ever heard of a man named Shou Nanshan?"

"Huh?" Ling Yin was a little puzzled, "Who is he?"

"..." Lian Meng didn't know how to explain. "I met a strange person before. When I mentioned it to Qi Nian, he told me that he had a relationship with him before."

Ling Yin frowned, as if thinking for a while.

"I haven't heard of this name. But... if Qi Nian says he has seen it, then he should exist."

"Why?" Lian Meng was a little surprised.

"Before you came, I never heard your name. But didn't you show up as promised?"

"..." Hearing these words, Lian Meng's back shuddered.

"Okay, I still have to make medicine. Is there anything else you can do?"

"Ah? No, no more." He came back to his senses, shook his head at Ling Yin, and then left the small room where the medicinal materials were prepared.

In fact, Lian Meng still felt that something was wrong, but now he was afraid that he would not be able to find out what was going on.

Moreover, he still hadn't figured out why he was in an abandoned coffin shop when he woke up in the morning.

How did he get there, and why did he get there.

Lian Meng couldn't figure it out.

He suddenly remembered that the last time he went to check around the Peony Pavilion, he hadn't seen the shop mentioned by Shou Nanshan.

But when he came out this time, he found that the coffin shop was indeed near the Peony Pavilion.It's just that the store is too dilapidated, and the handwriting on the signboard is illegible, so he didn't notice it last time.

But this doesn't explain why there are jade pendants praying for a new year...

Thinking about it, Lian Meng touched the flower pendant in his sleeve again.

It feels cool to the touch, and it is indeed quite similar to the previous piece.

only……

Lian Meng was still puzzled, when he looked up, unexpectedly, he saw Qi Nian standing in a gazebo not far from him.

He changed into a moon white long dress, light blue and elegant, just like the color of watching flowers under the moon.

And he was wearing that elegant white jade peony flower pendant around his waist...

So it seems that the one in his sleeve is indeed a fake.Lian Meng sighed while thinking.But he couldn't understand why someone would bother imitating Qi Nian's jade pendant. The jade pendant is beautiful, but is it really so rare?

Lian Meng shook his head, he wanted to go up to say hello to Qi Nian, but who would have thought that the boss of Xiang came to Qi Nian before him.

"I wanted to stay with you for a few more days. Since you insist on this, then forget it." The man said helplessly.

He was wearing a golden coat and looked quite luxurious.It's just that for some reason, his steps faltered a little, as if he was quite tired.

Lian Meng suddenly remembered that he had never seen the face of Boss Xiang, thinking about it, he looked intently, but it was difficult to get a glimpse of his face from that position.

"We will meet again eventually." Qinian replied with a smile.

But the man smiled bitterly: "But I always feel that this is the last time we meet."

"..." Qi Nian didn't speak, he frowned and looked at the person in front of him, and after a while he said comfortingly, "Your illness will be fine."

Why, is Boss Xiang also sick?

Lian Meng raised his eyebrows.

"When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"Does it have to be so urgent?"

"Ling Yin said that he wanted to go to the Xingshu Forest. I'm afraid this trip will take some time. In order not to affect the rotation of the world, we can only stay here for a few days."

In order not to affect the rotation of the world...

Hearing these words, Lian Meng couldn't hold on anymore.

Unexpectedly, Boss Naxiang not only didn't find it strange, but responded with a clear tone: "I see."

"..." Lian Meng suddenly began to seriously consider whether he would continue to eavesdrop here.

At this time, he was startled to hear some soft noises around him.He turned around vigilantly, only to realize that the person who came was actually his good junior.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Lian Qingren looked at him strangely.

Lian Meng looked at Qi Nian not far away, and then covered Lian Qingren's mouth as if he was afraid that the person would find out.

"Let's go to the edge and talk."

"Ah? You..." Lian Qingren felt strange, but they asked him only after they reached a secluded place, "Why are you so sneaky?"

"..." Lian Meng didn't know how to speak.

Lian Qingren seemed to think of something suddenly, and suddenly realized: "Brother, did you also find that there is something wrong with Boss Xiang?"

"Not quite right?"

"Yeah!" Lian Qingren looked at him and nodded vigorously, "When I was walking around last night, I saw that the Peony Pavilion was really submerged in a sea of ​​corpses and blood."
