When we returned to Yumen City, the morning sun was rising.
An Yuxin was frightened and exhausted, so he was sent back to Anwuhou Mansion.
Yu Zhi ran to the street and ate the unique breakfast in Ximozhou.
Zhu Qing and Zhu Lan finally found Yu Zhi.
"Master Yu will still enjoy it," Zhu Lan said.
Yu Zhi swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Thank you for your reward. After finally escaping from death, you should reward yourself."
"Lady boss, here are four more of the same thing. This girl will pay the bill."
Zhu Lan was stunned and said angrily: "Are you going to spend all my money and then support yourself to death?"
"Ruoruo, they are still starving at Miaoyin'an. Especially that girl Yu Lan must not be used to the vegetarian food at Miaoyin'an. Bring some back to them." Yu Zhi explained.
Zhu Qing said: "Young Master Yu is still attentive. I was negligent and neglected Miss Qiu and the others."
"It doesn't matter, they are not pampered people." Yu Zhi said nonchalantly.
When it comes to eating, Yu Zhi has always been very particular about making do with it if there are no conditions, and never compromises on it if there are conditions.
"Thank you Mr. Yu for saving your life last night." Zhu Lan recalled the thrilling scene last night and felt particularly scared.
With just a slight difference, Ye Gui's claws penetrated Zhu Lan's chest.
Yu Zhi put down his chopsticks, with a hint of guilt on his face, and said seriously: "I set up a trap last night that put you in danger. Fortunately, you are fine, so why do you need to say thank you?"
Yu Zhi's sudden seriousness made Zhu Qing and Zhu Lan a little at a loss.
"Master Yu, what was the explosion last night? This is the first time I have seen such a grand scene." Zhu Qing asked curiously.
Zhu Lan also opened her eyes wide and looked at Yu Zhi.
"It's just a few talismans." Yu Zhi said lightly.
And Yu Zhi's understatement made Zhu Qing feel the horror of last night.
A few talismans leveled the valley and killed hundreds of night ghosts?
How terrifying.
Zhu Lan rolled her eyes and asked again: "Why does Night Ghost want my hairpin? Did you do anything?"
Yu Zhi continued to eat breakfast and said, "It's just a small trick."
Yu Zhi didn't want to say anything, and Zhu Qing and Zhu Lan didn't ask any more questions.
Zhu Qing continued: "Master Yu, we made some discoveries last night, I'm afraid they are related to the little master."
Yu Zhi looked at Zhu Qing. Yu Lan had also said in private before that the poison on Chan Jing's body was a bit strange. It didn't seem like peacock feathers, or there might be other poisons besides peacock feathers.
Zhu Qing and Zhu Lan looked at each other and said, "Back then, when the young master fled back to the mountains, his body also exuded a foul smell. When I saw the blood of Ye Gui, I thought of the master's description."
"There were many black stains on the young master's robe. I didn't understand the cause at the time, and I never thought they were the blood of night ghosts."
Yu Zhi thought about it carefully and said, "That means that before Zen Master Tai returned to Miaoyin Temple, he had a fight with Night Ghost."
Then, Yu Zhi was shocked and said: "No. If that's really the case. There were traces of night ghosts in Ximo Prefecture decades ago. But in the past few decades, no one has discovered night ghosts again."
After Zhu Qing thought deeply, he said: "Perhaps the young master discovered the night ghost and fought with it, frightening the night ghost away. The night ghost has been dormant in the dark for decades."
"It's not impossible." Yu Zhi said in agreement.
However, Yu Zhi always thinks of the worst in things.
What if the night ghosts are not dormant, but there were human beings who colluded with the night ghosts and worked for the night ghosts decades ago?
Xiang Ji colluded with Ye Gui.
Cang Shui of Cangshan Mountain once used the source of night ghosts to transform into night ghosts.
All these signs indicate that the Night Ghost has penetrated deeply into the human race.
Yu Zhi thought for a while, but still told the two of Yu Lan's doubts yesterday, and Yu Zhi said more seriously: "If you two really want to save Zen Jing Master, you must tell the truth about what you know. Otherwise, you must tell the truth. , even if there is an antidote, the toxicity cannot be eradicated.”
Zhu Qing and Zhu Lan looked at each other and thought about the past that Ming Jing told them.
I only heard Zhu Qing say: "Master Yu, I think I need to ask the master again about this matter. All we know is what the master said. I can't tell whether it is true or false."
At this moment, Yu Zhi believed that the two sisters were really unaware.
Returning to Miaoyin Temple, Yu Zhi brought breakfast from Yumen City to the three of them.
Before Yu Zhi could speak, Yu Lan said excitedly with two panda eyes: "Brother Xiaoyu, I understand."
Yu Zhi picked up a bun and stuffed it into Yu Lan's mouth.
"Eat well first."
Yu Zhi knew from Yu Lan's look that Yu Lan had not slept all night.
Yu Zhi was eating the steamed buns, his mouth was dripping with oil, and he still said excitedly: "In addition to the peacock feathers, there is indeed another kind of poison in Master Chanjing's body."
"What poison?" Yu Zhi asked.
Yu Lan shook his head and said simply: "I can't figure it out. I've never seen this kind of poison. I don't think even my mother-in-law has seen it."
It can be said that Yu Zhuyue has been obsessed with medicine all his life, and his medical skills are extremely high. There are few doctors among the great Chu who can compare with him.
But even Yu Zhuyue has never seen it.
Yu Zhi asked: "Is this poison not a human poison?"
"What do you mean?" Yu Lan asked confused.
Yu Zhi told Yu Lan and others about Zhu Qing and Zhu Lan's discovery.
Qiu Ruoruo thought for a moment and then said: "Brother Xiaoyu means that another kind of poison comes from night ghosts?"
"It's very possible." Yu Lan was excited. "It stands to reason that if you are poisoned by the peacock feather, you can't live for more than half a day. Even a great cultivator of the ninth level of the Open Monument, relying on his true energy to survive for a year and a half is the limit."
"It is absolutely impossible for Master Zen Jing to live like this for decades."
"The only possibility is that the toxicity of this unknown poison is in conflict with the cold poison of Peacock Ling, coincidentally suppressing part of Peacock Ling's toxicity."
"Master Chanjing showed symptoms of peacock feather poisoning, but others thought she was just infected with peacock feathers."
When it comes to strange poisons, Yu Lan is the expert.
After analysis, the secrets of Zen Jing gradually became clear.
Qiu Ruoruo looked at Yu Zhi and thought of the worst outcome that Yu Zhi had imagined. She said worriedly: "The other poison really comes from the night ghost. Could it be that the night ghost was born decades ago?"
Yu Zhi was silent for a moment and said: "Lanlan, you continue to detoxify. I think there may be a conspiracy that has been hidden for decades behind Master Zenjing's poisoning."
Yu Zhi and Qiu Ruoruo got up and left their residence.
Zhu Qing and Zhu Lan didn’t know the truth back then, and only Master Ming Jing could ask.
Master Ming Jing was still sitting in front of the Buddha as she did yesterday, playing rosary beads in her hands and reciting Buddhist sutras.
She has been like this every day for decades, longer than some old trees in the mountains.
"Master." Yu Zhi and the other two greeted respectfully.
Zhu Qing and Zhu Lan were also sitting cross-legged and meditating.
Ming Jing opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and translucent, just like his name - Ming Jing, reflecting the appearance of Yu Zhi and Qiu Ruoruo.
For a moment, the two of them felt only bursts of Sanskrit sounds in their ears. A warm current arose from nowhere in their bodies and poured into their limbs. The fatigue from last night disappeared.
Just this glance made the two of them relieve their fatigue, which was miraculous.
Ming Jing slowly said: "Zhu Qing has told me everything."
Ming Jing sighed and continued: "Back then, my uncle was seriously injured and returned home. My master spent his whole life cultivating to suppress her poison and keep her alive. But we don't know much about medicine and poison. I just thought it was the most poisonous peacock feather in the world."
"I never thought that there was another strange poison on my uncle's body. Although there was indeed a stench on my uncle's body when he returned to the mountain, no one thought so much when rescuing people. They just thought that there was some dirt somewhere. Now. If you think about it, it is indeed the blood of Night Ghost."
Yu Zhi asked: "Master Chanjing, can you leave any clues?"
"I was not that old back then. I just saw my uncle's appearance when he returned to the mountain. As for clues, I'm afraid I have to ask my master." Ming Jing explained.
With that said, Ming Jing stepped out of the nunnery. "Master Yu, Miss Qiu, please come with me."
Several people walked on the mountain road while listening to Ming Jing's narration.
"When Uncle Master was walking around the world, he was already at the eighth level of the Open Monument. Even if he encounters a great cultivator of the ninth level of the Open Monument, he has the power to protect himself. There is no way he will return home seriously injured."
"At that time, the master was also puzzled. The master has always been kind to others, but who was responsible for the murder. At that time, Miaoyin'an also investigated for many years, but there was no result."
Qiu Ruoruo reminded: "If it is related to Night Ghost, maybe Zen Jing Master discovered the secret of Night Ghost and was poisoned."
Ming Jing stopped. In front of them was an ancient Buddhist temple, with smoke curling up.
"Master, Master Yu and Miss Qiu have some doubts about Master Chanjing's past. Please clear up the confusion, Master."
Ming Jing did not push the door open, but stood quietly outside the Buddhist hall and waited.
Yu Zhi and the other two were not in a hurry when they saw this.
After a while, an old voice came from the Buddhist hall.
"Excuse me."
Yu Zhicai said: "Senior, we suspect that the poison that Zen Jing Master Tai received was related to the night ghost. When Zen Jing Master Tai returned to the mountain back then, could there be any clues left behind?"
After waiting for another moment, a sound came from the Buddhist hall.
"After returning to the mountain in meditation, I was already unconscious. When I was awake during this period, I said a few words - in the desert outside Yumen City... just these half sentences. After that, several junior sisters and I also I went to explore the desert and found nothing."
"One more thing, there is a jade pendant left on Chan Jing's body, with a special pattern. This is not Chan Jing's thing. It may come from the murderer who poisoned Chan Jing."
A piece of jade pendant flew out from the Buddhist hall and landed in Yu Zhi's hand.
The jade pendants are made of ordinary jade and can be found everywhere, but the shape and decoration are like a twisted flame, which is indeed strange.
Yu Zhi glanced at Qiu Ruoruo and heard Qiu Ruoruo say: "It looks like the family emblem."
Sounds continued to come from the Buddhist hall.
"This matter has not been told to outsiders. Decades later, perhaps the murderer has already died. Decades of grudges should also be put aside. Miaoyin'an does not ask the two of them to avenge Chanjing. If Chanjing can be cured, Miaoyin'an's disciples You should be grateful."
Yu Zhi said in a deep voice: "Senior, please rest assured, we will do our best."
At this moment, Zhu Qing and Zhu Lan walked over quickly and glanced at Yu Zhi.
"Master, Anwuhou has led the army and is at the foot of the mountain."
"An Chengtai, what is he doing here?" Ming Jing asked.
Zhu Qing lowered her head, knowing that this must be about what happened last night.
Zhu Lan said angrily: "It must be An Yuxin who was adding fuel to the fire and fabricating the facts. Humph, it would have been better if we let him die in the hands of a night ghost last night!"
Ming Jing glanced at Zhu Lan and said, "Zhu Lan, I haven't practiced enough recently. How can I open my mouth and keep talking about life and death?"
"Disciple knows his mistake." Zhu Lan stuck out her tongue and hid behind Zhu Qing.
Yu Zhi touched his cheek in embarrassment and said, "Master Ming Jing, it's my fault. I'll go tell Marquis Anwu and see if I can convince people with reason."
Yu Zhi walked down the mountain.
Ming Jing nodded with satisfaction, but still did not forget to scold Zhu Lan. "Learn well from Mr. Yu, convince people with reason, and never act rashly with murderous thoughts."
Zhu Qing, Zhu Lan and others looked at the mirror with strange eyes.
Master, master, if you had seen the scene on Zhujian Mountain and in the valley last night, you would never believe Mr. Yu’s reasoning.
Alas, my master was also deceived by Mr. Yu.
Qiu Ruoruo smiled slightly and said, "Master Tai, what if Marquis Anwu is unreasonable?"
Ming Jing was startled and didn't know how to answer.
