"Then I don't want to sell you any more. I just hope that after the secret is revealed, you can keep your promise and don't do anything to make things worse."
The Taoist priest with a grimace waved his hand impatiently, and He Siniang went straight to the point and said: "This matter has to start with the reason why I went to the princess's house."
When Guangling was massacred, the Baixi Sect was also wiped out. He Siniang had a chance to escape because she went to perform in another city. However, she was not the only one to survive in the Baixi Sect. There were also other members of the Baixi Sect who were traveling with her at that time. There is another good sister named Gu Jiuniang.
He Siniang and Gu Jiuniang were both abandoned babies when they fled south. When they were desperate, they were taken in by Pang Dahai, the leader of Baiximen. There were ten girls in that group, and their names were arranged according to age, but He Siniang was the only one among them. She and Gu Jiuniang have the best relationship, and they have taken care of each other since they joined Baiximen. After getting along for many years, they have become like biological sisters.
It's just that although the relationship between the two is close, their personalities are completely different. He Siniang seems to be frivolous and likes to show off, but she has a very calm temperament. Those dancing and scratching appearances are nothing more than a way to find a career among the powerful, especially the hairpin. After getting the hairpin, He Siniang became more and more charming, and gradually became a drama courteous in the Guangling area. She dealt with countless men every day. It can be said that she was used to seeing the ugly faces of all kinds of men, which made her easily disobey. The habit of talking to others. But Gu Jiuniang was different. She was two years younger than He Siniang. Although she looked good, her personality was extremely naive. She was often fooled by the sweet talk of those young men. In the end, she was even seduced by a smooth-talking white-faced scholar in Guangling City. He After Si Niang tried to dissuade her in every possible way to no avail, she simply let her go. So after the opera troupe was exterminated, Gu Jiuniang completely left the Huo Jing Sect and went to live with the scholar.
After Gu Jiuniang left, He Siniang was tired of the intrigues in the Orchid Sect, so she went to find an old acquaintance in Qinzhou who owned a carpenter's shop, and lived a peaceful life working hard. Four years passed in this way, during which He Siniang and Gu Jiuniang often exchanged letters. Gu Jiuniang did not mention in her letters whether her love life was going well or not. He only said that she moved to Jinling City with the scholar, and she opened a business with her own savings. Living at a noodle stall, he kept silent about the current situation of the scholar. Occasionally, his words revealed his nostalgia for his former life as a troupe.
He Siniang is such a smart person. The opera troupe has lived a hard life, so why should she miss her? When people miss old times, their current situation must be miserable. She wanted to ask, but she didn't expect that more than half a year ago, Gu Jiuniang suddenly stopped hearing from her.
He Siniang was worried about her former sister, so she decided to head south immediately. When she arrived in Jinling, she asked the neighbors, and she felt as if she was struck by lightning. It turned out that the scholar had been doing nothing all day since he came to Jinling. The whole family only lived on Gu Jiuniang's noodle stall. However, the scholar is still a romantic master. Even with Gu Jiuniang, he is not honest. He still often goes to the place with fireworks and willows. This man loses his hair when he gets big. One day, when the scholar was shaking his chicken and balls on the street, It happened that the steward appointed by the Princess of Shanyin to select the face-sitter saw that the scholar was fair-faced and handsome, which was exactly the type Liu Chuyu liked at that time, so the officials ignored everything and directly sent the scholar to the princess's residence, and he lived a happy life ever since. The life of an old cow working in the fields.
What happened to Gu Jiuniang after she learned about this? The next day, she innocently ran to the gate of the princess's mansion to ask for someone. She was beaten away by the palace soldiers with sticks, but she still didn't give up. She actually planned to go into the princess's mansion at night to rescue people. This person was a bit naive. She was a bit stubborn, so that night Gu Jiuniang entered the princess's mansion alone. The girls from the Baixi Sect all had some light skills, so it was not difficult to sneak into the mansion, but when she saw the scholar with a smile on his face and his arms around Liu Chuyu, he accepted it. It was difficult. Gu Jiuniang lost control of her emotions instantly. She rushed into the palace and started crying. As you can imagine, the result was that she was charged with assassinating the royal family and beheaded the next day. When the officers and soldiers went to search the house, they found Gu Jiuniang's home. There was not even a single copper coin. In addition to an old quilt and a few old clothes, the only thing left in the house was the noodle stall that had not yet been put away.
He Siniang's eyes turned red when she said this, and the Taoist priest with a grimace felt pity when he heard this. He sighed: "It's true that happiness only looks for rich girls, but the wind and snow only hit those who work hard. It's so sad!"
He Siniang calmed down her emotions and continued: "I swore at that time that I would kill Liu Chuyu, a prostitute, to avenge my ninth sister. However, I am alone and weak. It is still too difficult to enter the princess mansion and successfully assassinate Liu Chuyu. , If you want to succeed, you must either find some help or some means of assistance.”
"So you went to Jinyuefu?" the Taoist priest with a grimace asked.
He Siniang nodded: "At that time, I inquired around and learned that there is a method of making incense in Jinyue Mansion. After burning just one incense, everyone in the hall will be stunned. If you can learn how to use it, you will be stunned." Wouldn't it be easy to assassinate Liu Chuyu?"
The Taoist Priest with a grimace remembered what happened to the Princess Mansion that night, and couldn't help curling his lips and said: "It is indeed easy, I am lucky that I didn't kill the two of them, but what does the assassination of Liu Chuyu have to do with the Immortal Cave Mansion? Could it be that you were in the Princess Mansion? What news did you hear?"
"It has nothing to do with Liu Chuyu, but it has something to do with the poison in my body. At that time, Mrs. Qi tricked me into drinking butterfly poison on the grounds that she needed to take an antidote before burning incense. This butterfly poison can indeed prevent the intoxication of the fragrance, but more importantly The main function is to enslave us and let the urgent girls search for the elixir to fulfill Old Mrs. Qi’s dream of immortality.”
Mrs. Qi was already in a daze at that time, and her mind was filled with the idea of refining elixirs and searching for medicines. For the sake of safety, she would send two supervisors to follow every urgent girl when she traveled. These supervisors were also Mrs. Qi. An orphan adopted by Tai Si, he practiced martial arts since he was a child and only obeyed the orders of the old lady Qi. After knowing the true purpose of Mrs. Qi, He Siniang was disheartened but did not forget to avenge Gu Jiuniang. While pretending to obey Mrs. Qi, she waited for an opportunity to escape. Until a month ago, He Siniang passed by Qinzhou. At that time In the shop where she was working, she got a piece of news that made her extremely happy, that is, the whereabouts of the Immortal Cave. After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to get rid of the supervisor. She planned to go to Jinling to take revenge first, and then return to Qinzhou. When she was ready, she went to steal the treasure. Go to that ancient tomb and look for the antidote to the poison, so you can completely escape from this Yuefu.
