son sick

The shop was located in a very inconspicuous corner, and there were no other shops in the neighborhood, only that one.

Lian Meng thought it was because the other shop owners were afraid of getting bad luck, so they didn't want to be neighbors with it.Now that I think about it, I am afraid there is another reason.

He looked at the door for a while, then walked in.

The scene in the room was the same as when he came last time.There were several pitch-black wooden coffins in sight, and the one in the middle whose lid had been split was the coffin he had been lying on before.

Other than that, there was no one else in the room.

Still dusty and cobwebbed.

Lian Meng couldn't figure it out, since that secret road could only lead to here, if Shounan Mountain wasn't here, where would it go?

Or, that person didn't walk into this secret passage at all... But if that's the case, what about others?Did it just disappear out of thin air?

Lian Meng became more and more confused as he thought about it. He leaned against the door, recalling all the things he had heard in the past few days.

He still remembered hearing that the Peony Pavilion was built five years ago.The reason is that it was funded by dignitaries, but no one knew who was so rich and powerful to build this luxurious pavilion; and Shou Nanshan mentioned before that Boss Xiang accepted the secret method taught by Tiancan five years ago.

Is this timing just a coincidence?

And why Shou Nanshan knew him, and why there was a fake white jade peony pendant in this shop... Lian Meng felt a headache, but he still couldn't figure it out.

Suddenly, he was startled by movement behind him, so he turned his head subconsciously, but he didn't expect to see Qi Nian walking in.

Lian Meng was shocked, and hurriedly asked him, "Why did you come here?"

"Before leaving this place, I want to say goodbye to my old friend."

"Old friend?"

Qi Nian didn't explain, he just took out a fat red peony from his sleeve, stepped forward, and put it on the table.

"In an hour, we will set off."

"In such a hurry?"

"The old things are over, let's move on."

"Boss Xiang..."

"One more year to live."

"What exactly is going on?"

Qi Nian glanced at him, then smiled and said, "It's okay to tell you, but you may not believe this story."

"..." Lian Meng didn't speak.

So, Qi Nian smiled and told an extremely ridiculous story in an extremely serious tone.

It was said that Boss Xiang was going to die.

Suffering from a serious illness, the doctor can't cure him, saying that he will live well in a few days.His disease was also strange, with abscesses all over his body, a stench all over his body, and his appearance was ruined. It looked like a disease, but it was not a disease.

At that time, he was abandoned on the side of the street, but was brought back by Shou Nanshan who was on the road.

Shou Nanshan had good intentions at first, thinking that there were several coffins left at home, so it was considered a meritorious deed, and he simply buried that person.

It's just that he didn't expect that when he opened the store door the next morning, he saw a whole box of gold in front of the door.There was a note on it, asking him to give that person a grand burial.

There was no signature on the letter, so he searched in front of the door, but there was no trace of the visitor.

It was not difficult to bury him.

But the person he brought back was not dead now, so it seemed too cold to start preparing for the funeral at this moment.Moreover, whenever he leaned out cautiously to look at that person, he would always meet a pair of sad, translucent eyes.

Shou Nanshan saw it sadly, so he decided to take good care of the man, and after he died in Huangquan, he would give him a grand burial.

However, he was poor since he was a child, and he didn't know what the so-called "great funeral" should be like.

Moreover, this person doesn't have any relatives or friends, so even the most beautiful funeral will end in a cold end.What's more, when people die and the lights go out, no matter how luxurious the mausoleum is, it will be a matter of death after all.

After thinking about it, he decided to place the grave in the backyard of his home. Firstly, he was afraid that the person would be lonely after death, and secondly, it was a thought for himself.

So, seven days passed like this.

One day, a man dressed strangely found him and said that he had a way to "resurrect" the dead.

"Why did the people from Tiancan Sect help him?" Lian Meng wondered.

"They didn't want to help, but to test the medicine."

It was the first time that the human-saving Gu worm was tried on humans.

For the first time use, some risks are inevitable.

But the disciple of the Celestial Silkworm Sect explained to him that this method is really mysterious and unusual.

At first, there will be an indescribable connection between the bodies of the two of them, one side will get better, and the other will gradually weaken, which seems to be a trend of ebb and flow.

But the Gu worms would not really harm his life.As long as the energy between the two reaches a balance, they will be able to coexist and coexist.

Shou Nanshan didn't understand these strange methods, so after weighing it, he agreed to test the medicine.

"Having said that, this method will still damage his lifespan. Why did Shou Nanshan agree to test the medicine for him?"

"..." Qi Nian didn't answer, he looked at Lian Meng, but asked back, "Why do you think so?"

Gu techniques also have miraculous effects.

The man's condition has improved, the abscesses and poison marks on his body are slowly fading away, and even his appearance is becoming clearer day by day.

Shou Nanshan was overjoyed.

It's just that since the day of testing the medicine, his body has been deteriorating and becoming extremely weak.

However, thinking about what the disciple said earlier, he felt that after these few days, everything would be fine.

But the disciples of the Silkworm Sect did not wait until the man recovered.

He said that he received a letter from the leader, saying that he needed to return to the door to report quickly, so he left in a hurry.

But before he left, he left two "warnings" for Shou Nanshan:

One is, this Gu worm method needs to be performed again after five years, and the duration of that time will be shorter and the cost will be higher, so remember to do it cautiously; People meet again.

Shou Nanshan was surprised, and asked him why, but the man shook his head, saying that it was impossible to see the way of heaven.

He thought it was ridiculous for a man of a foreign race to talk about the way of heaven, but the man left Ningyan City alone without explaining.

Later, as his health got worse, he was left in the apricot forest on the outskirts of the city in order to fulfill his promise to meet the different person.

Later, he heard that the man recovered from his illness and was funded to build a luxurious mansion, while others called him "Boss Xiang".

"But, that boss Xiang doesn't remember this at all?"

"He only remembers that he was near death and passed out, but he doesn't remember the past of the coffin shop."

"..." Lian Meng thought about it, and suddenly realized something was wrong: "But where did you learn about these things?"

Qi Nian looked at him and smiled softly: "Actually, five years ago, the box of gold outside the coffin shop was left by someone I sent."

"What?" Lian Meng was startled.

"The 'Boss Xiang' that everyone calls now was not originally Xiang. He was from a poor family when he was young. His father sold him to the Qi family to test the medicine for me in order to have enough food and clothing."

"Testing medicine?" Lian Meng was shocked.

But Qi Nian said without sadness or joy: "But the toxicity of the new drug is unknown. A few years later, he was seriously ill and abandoned. I felt ashamed, so I sent someone to leave some silver and wanted to build a grave for him."

"..."

"I've also heard about what happened after that. But his toxicity has already been overwhelmed, and he is going to die after all. Even if there are Gu insects to continue his life, he can only survive for a few more years."

"However," Lian Meng still felt weird, "Shou Nanshan said that he may have a great relationship with me..."

Qi Nian looked at him, and suddenly laughed: "Maybe this Shou Nanshan is also reborn, he remembers what happened last time, so he also remembers you."

"Huh?" Lian Meng was thinking seriously at first, but when he heard what he said, he was at a loss for words.

"Okay, it's just old stuff, let's go."

Saying that, Qi Nian turned around.His back was extremely thin in the half-light.

Lian Meng's thoughts were still confused, and he didn't know how to sort out the myriad of threads.

"and also……"

Hearing Lian Meng's voice, Qi Nian turned his head slightly: "What else?"

"Why is there a secret path leading here in the Peony Pavilion?"

"Of course someone built it on purpose."

"Could it be Shou..."

"This is not good."

Lian Meng felt that there was something in his words, but Qi Nian only smiled lightly, and then turned his head away.

"Then... what about the others in Shounanshan?"

Qi Nian looked at him with a playful expression: "He no longer exists."

"What do you mean? You mean he's dead?"

Qi Nian didn't answer, he turned around and walked out of the small shop, Lian Meng had no choice but to follow up a few steps.

When they returned to the front door of Peony Pavilion, Ling Yin had already packed up and stood in front of the carriage.

Lian Qingren stood beside him, and as soon as he saw Lian Meng coming back, he hurried up a few steps and asked him where he had gone.

It turned out that Qi Nian got up early today and asked Ling Yin to prepare his luggage as soon as he woke up.Ling Yin was startled by him, so he had to send Dashou early to prepare the carriage and luggage, but when he returned to the room, Qi Nian was nowhere to be seen.

Now when he saw Qi Nian coming back, he hurried forward to meet him, muttering something in his mouth.

Lian Meng was still a little absent-minded, he didn't know how to explain to his junior brother, so he made a few words casually.

Then Ling Yin asked if he was going to say goodbye to Boss Xiang, but Qi Nian shook his head and said "no".

But as soon as he finished speaking, Boss Xiang was helped out of the rich family.

He still seemed a little weak, and his steps were a little staggering. His clothes were not as gorgeous as usual, and his long hair was casually rolled up. There were still young girls around him.

The girl named Dan Rou was not among them, and the handsome Xin Yun was still in the lead.She explained to them that the master of the pavilion suffered from the cold at night and felt a little unwell.

Qi Nian said something polite to him, but Lian Meng didn't hear clearly.

Because at this time, the man finally walked in front of them, and Lian Meng saw the face of the Xiang boss clearly for the first time.

No makeup, handsome and handsome, just...

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"Since everything is over, I won't stay any longer."

The man didn't answer, just nodded with a smile.

"By the way, I kept some of the colorful brocade before. If you still like it, you can pick it up another day."

"Ah."

Then he turned around again and looked at Ling Yin: "Doctor Ling Yin, I will trouble you about Xing Mulin."

"I will take care of the young master myself."

"it is good."

Then, a group of people got into the carriage, and the boss of Xiang said goodbye to them politely, and then walked back to the door slowly.

Lian Meng lifted the curtain on the car, and looked back at the man for a long time, until the thin figure completely disappeared into the rich door, then he grabbed Qi Nian's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Why...why that Will Boss Xiang have the same face as Shou Nanshan?"
