Chapter 143, Senior Brother’s Visit
The lively scene of the palace lasted for three full days. Until the afternoon of the 28th, there were relatively few congratulators, and those who came no longer needed Qingshi to meet him in person. Zhang Hao ordered the main entrance of the palace to be closed, leaving only Wang Gen and a dozen people. A senior attendant was waiting at the side door. Qingshi, Zhang Hao and others just had half a day to spare.
Looking at the sunset, there were no more greeting guests. Xiaoye arranged for the maid to serve Qingshi to bathe and change clothes and have a dinner. Qingshi was in a good mood. After dinner, he drank a pot of homemade tea and lay half-ly in the study to read some books.
Unexpectedly, another guest came at this time. This guest was not ordinary. In terms of status, he was more distinguished than all the previous guests. It was his senior brother Mo Sihai who was crowned Prince Qing and became Prime Minister.
Mo Sihai came alone from the air and landed in front of the side door of Prince Leiwei's Mansion. Wang Gen, who was on duty in front of the door, was also Zhang Hao's younger brother in the academy. Naturally, he recognized Dean Mo Sihai. When he saw him flying in, he was immediately surprised and ran over quickly. He said hello, and then turned around and called the attendants to inform Qingshi and ask him to come and open the door to greet him.
"There is a door here," Mo Sihai said with a smile, "Do you want me to wait outside the gate and wait for your prince to open the door?" After saying that, he walked in from the side door, and Wang Gen quickly trotted in front of Mo Sihai to lead the way. .
Qingshi just heard the servant outside yell: The Prime Minister is here. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw that Mo Sihai had entered the inner courtyard of the second gate. Qingshi hurriedly came out to greet him with a smile: "Senior brother, you are here! How can you be worthy of calling Qingshi? Please come in quickly!" With that, Mo Sihai was greeted with a smile. Welcome into the study.
Qingshi invited Mo Sihai to sit down. He made a new pot of tea by his side, and then poured a cup for Mo Sihai himself.
Mo Sihai watched the bluestone making tea with great interest and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that junior brother is an expert at making tea. The skill of making tea is really exquisite!"
He took the tea cup and took a sip gently and said, "It really smells good. I have to bring some of this good tea back to my senior brother!"
"That's natural!" Qingshi said with a smile, "I've already prepared it, and I was just thinking about sending it to my senior brother when he wished me New Year's greetings! I didn't expect that my senior brother would actually come in person. I'm really a little scared!"
Mo Sihai said: "You have made an engagement and have been granted the title of king. Naturally, senior brother will come to congratulate you." He took out a small dark gold incense burner the size of a fist and placed it on the coffee table. Then he said, "This is a congratulatory gift from senior brother. It's a small gadget. Junior brother, don't dislike it."
"How dare you!" Qingshi said, "Senior brother's generous gift is certainly not an ordinary thing. I just don't know what kind of treasure it is? I'm afraid I can't afford it!"
"It's a joke," Mo Sihai said with a smile, "You are King Lei Wei of the Tianxuan Empire, what other treasures can't you have? Guess what's the use of this thing?"
Qingshi looked at the incense burner carefully. Apart from being small and exquisite, it seemed to have nothing special about it. Suddenly he smelled a faint fragrance, and he suddenly felt clear-headed and refreshed. Qingshi asked in surprise: "Could this be an incense burner made of dark gold agarwood?"
"Eh!" Mo Sihai said curiously, "Junior brother actually knows it! Do you have dark gold agarwood yourself? In that case, senior brother will give you another treasure. I only have this incense burner, so I might as well keep it for myself. "As he said that, he pretended to take it back.
Qingshi grabbed it and said hurriedly: "Senior brother, please don't play tricks on me. Thank you very much! Where do I have such a treasure? I just heard about it."
The two looked at each other and laughed happily together.
Dark gold agarwood is the first auxiliary artifact for spiritual enlightenment. The fragrance it emits can make people's minds extremely clear and sharp. Its effect is countless times better than the academy's enlightenment room.
This incense burner is carved from a whole piece of dark gold agarwood spirit wood. It is its own material that emits fragrance. If you really want to use it to burn incense, it will be putting the cart before the horse and a waste of natural resources.
Qingshi and Mo Sihai were teachers and students. Even after they became brothers, Qingshi was still in awe of Mo Sihai. The two of them had rarely had the opportunity to drink tea and chat alone like this before. The atmosphere was very good tonight, and Qingshi felt much closer to Mo Sihai.
The two chatted casually, and naturally they talked about Qingshi's engagement. Mo Sihai expressed his deep approval for Qingshi and Sheng Yinghua to join hands, but he said to Qingshi with concern: "It's normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. Sheng Yinghua It's natural for Huawei to be the princess, but junior brother, don't be alienated from Yunli, Yunli is a good girl, junior brother, don't be too wronged, Yunli is the one!"
Hearing the name Yunli, Qingshi's heart clicked as if a flash of lightning flashed, as if something was sliding past his eyes, but he couldn't reach out to grab it.
Yunli? Qingshi looked at Mo Sihai dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.
Mo Sihai had mentioned Yunli in front of Qingshi before. In fact, everyone including Zhang Hao and Shen Binghong had mentioned it, but after seeing Qingshi's indifferent expression, they stopped asking. But Qingshi just forgets it once he hears it.
Now, perhaps due to the effect of dark gold agarwood, after Qingshi heard Mo Sihai say the name Yunli three times in a row, he actually remembered that Mo Sihai, Zhang Hao and others had asked him about Yunli.
"Junior brother, what's wrong with you?" Mo Sihai looked at Qingshi and asked, "Is there any problem between you and Yunli? I haven't seen Yunli for a long time. Is she okay?"
Mo Sihai said Yunli, and this name struck Qingshi's heart, like a hammer trying to break a lock.
"Senior brother," Qingshi asked after a long time to come back to his senses, "I remember you asked me about Yunli before, and Zhang Hao Binghong and the others also mentioned this name. Who is Yunli? Should I do you know it?"
Mo Sihai stared at Qingshi blankly for a while, then said: "Qingshi, even if you want to marry Sheng Yinghua, even if you break up with Yunli, you don't have to be so heartless... No! Junior brother is the most sincere person. You person...have you really forgotten Yunli?"
"But I don't know Yunli at all...Yunli!" Qingshi said curiously. He really didn't remember Yunli, but when he said the name Yunli, his tongue was I curled up a bit, and there seemed to be a vague shadow of a goddess in snow clothes appearing in my mind.
Mo Sihai lowered his head and pondered for a long time. He looked up and saw Qingshi looking at him with a puzzled and even frightened look. He couldn't help but think about it and said, "Besides the name Yunli, is there anything else or objects that you can't remember, junior brother?"
Qingshi asked curiously: "If there are things or objects that I can't remember, then how do I know that I can't remember them?"
"No," Mo Sihai said, "I mean, is there anything you remember, but you can't remember it clearly? If others don't mention it, you won't be able to remember it."
Qingshi thought hard, and the dark gold agarwood had a very good effect on refreshing his mind. He really took the initiative to remember some things, and immediately said: "Yes! Senior brother, do you remember the last time I told you about the battle with Jiang Bingxian and Jiang Bingyan? At that time You still blame me for not taking the initiative to talk about it. What happened that night is just like what you said. I can’t remember it clearly. If others don’t mention it, I can’t remember it myself.”
Mo Sihai pondered for a long time, then nodded thoughtfully and said: "It seems that junior brother was given an amnesia spell and forgot about Yunli, and the time was the night of the battle with Jiang Bingxian and Jiang Bingyan. You told me about that The late situation seems to be probably done by the old demon from Montenegro."
"The old Black Mountain demon saved my life and Xiaobai's," Qingshi wondered, "Why did she cast amnesia on me?"
Mo Sihai shook his head and said, "I don't know, but based on your description, I can probably infer the reason why she did this."
"Senior brother, tell me!" Qingshi said anxiously.
"Junior brother, don't worry!" Mo Sihai comforted, "Amnesia spells do not erase people's memories, but shield and seal some memories related to someone or something. Generally, they can be retrieved."
Qingshi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that what Mo Sihai said was true. If one wanted to forcibly erase a person's memory, it would most likely damage the person's brain, or even turn the person into an idiot. Of course Qingshi himself could judge his own state. , knowing that his memory has definitely not been erased.
Mo Sihai said: "Junior brother, do you still remember that time you went to Yunmang Mountain to practice?"
"Remember!" Qingshi replied.
"Do you remember that you went alone?"
"It's just me and Xiaobai."
"No, you went with Yunli. Xiaobai is Yunli's spiritual pet!"
"Ah? Is this...senior brother serious?"
"Of course it's true, can't I still lie to you?"
"I'm sorry, senior brother, that's not what I meant. Senior brother, what is the relationship between Yunli and I?"
"You are a couple that everyone in the college envies. That time you two went to Yunmang Mountain together. You told me so personally before you left."
"Then...I'm the only one who's back?"
"I don't know. I always thought you guys came back together, but now that I think about it, I haven't seen Yunli and Xiaobai since then. And not long after you came back, we watched the day when Amano played against Jiang Chenxiu. In the evening, I asked you about Yunli, but you looked confused. The battle between Amano was about to begin, so I didn’t ask any more questions. Thinking about it now, your expression was exactly the same as when I asked you just now. At that time, you He should have been given an amnesia spell a long time ago."
"Yes, I also remember the day you asked me about Yunli. At that time, I didn't know what you meant, and I forgot about it as soon as I turned around. Xiaobai, I remember that Xiaobai was led by the old demon from Montenegro. gone."
"Yes, you said it. I guess Yunli was also taken away by the Black Mountain Demon. It was probably the Black Mountain Demon who wanted you to forget Yun Li, so he cast a spell on you."
Qingshi was silent for a long time. With the help of Dark Gold Agarwood, he slowly recalled some fragments of his life. For example, Zhang Hao, Shen Binghong and others had indeed asked him about Yunli. For example, he had found two women's items in his dormitory. The items were incomprehensible at the time, but ended up being forgotten as soon as I turned around.
Whether Yunli is really a real person is easy to prove. Whether it is asking friends, classmates or checking college files, it is very simple. There is absolutely no possibility that Mo Sihai is making it up, and Mo Sihai's explanation for his amnesia is also reasonable.
Qingshi was finally convinced that he had really forgotten his lover, but Yunli was just a name to him now, and he still couldn't remember anything about Yunli.
"Senior brother," Qingshi said, "can you crack this amnesia spell and help me retrieve the sealed memory?"
"It is not possible for outsiders to break it by force," Mo Sihai said. "It is likely to cause harm to people. There are two ways to break the seal. One is that the person who cast the spell takes the initiative to break it, and the other is that the person who cast the spell breaks the seal by himself."
Qingshi asked: "How to break it?"
Mo Sihai shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. This is related to the Qi cultivation and mental strength of the person being cast. People with strong mental strength can often break the seal by themselves. In addition, the chance can also be increased with the help of some external objects. For example, the aroma of dark gold agarwood is the best help. It's a coincidence that I gave you this incense burner."
"Maybe it's not a coincidence," Qingshi thought. Mo Sihai was unparalleled in his wit and scheming, but Qingshi's wisdom and tact were not inferior to those of his senior brother. "Maybe senior brother has an agenda, but he intends to help him recover his memory. This is not harmful to him in any case. Regardless. What is his intention? In short, I want to restore my memory, and that is the most important thing to me."
Qingshi thought clearly, stood up and bowed to Mo Sihai and said: "Senior brother! My memory has been sealed, thank you so much for reminding me! My senior brother is a master of heaven, and he must have a wonderful way to help me. No matter what, I am grateful to my senior brother. .”
Mo Sihai was waiting for this last sentence, but he was still not in a hurry to express his position. Instead, he said thoughtfully: "Qingshi, have you ever thought about it? Maybe it's not a bad thing that your memory has been sealed. I don't know your relationship with Yunli." In the end, I don’t know whether your sealed memory is really the work of the old monster from Montenegro, or maybe it was done by other powerful people with deeper intentions. You are currently engaged in an engagement and can be crowned a king. It can be said that you are very satisfied with your ambitions. When you reach the peak of your life, it seems that your memory has been sealed, which is not harmful to you. On the contrary, after you recover the sealed memory, it may change the trajectory of your life."
"I understand what senior brother said," Qingshi said firmly, "but I must restore my memory and understand the truth. Please help me, senior brother!"
"Okay!" Mo Sihai said, "In that case, I will try to help you again. I just hope that after you recover your memory, if you are not satisfied, you will not blame senior brother."
After speaking, Mo Sihai took out a jade bottle and said, "This is the essence and blood of a Yunji Fox King. It is much better than the ordinary Yunji Fox essence and blood, and it is very beneficial to cultivating spiritual power."
Mo Sihai placed the jade bottle on the coffee table, stretched out his finger and flicked Qingshi's forehead. Qingshi immediately felt that a spell of only about two hundred words was imprinted in his mind.
Mo Sihai continued: "This is a technique that can use mental power to restore memory. I got it by chance, and I don't know the name of the technique. You try to practice it. As for whether it will succeed? It's hard to say. Just It depends on your mental strength and will.”
After Mo Sihai finished speaking, he sighed, said take care of himself to Qingshi, and left. Qingshi was sent straight to the outside of the house, watching him fly away until he was no longer visible, and then returned to the house.
After returning to the study, Qingshi picked up the Yunji Fox Essence Blood and the Dark Gold Agarwood Burner without hesitation, and resolutely walked into the training room.
