After Lu Jing left the palace, he didn't go anywhere else. He just ran back to Hengji Coffin Shop. As a result, he knew something had happened before he even entered the door.
He saw the old zombie from a distance, moving a bench and sitting outside the door of the coffin shop, his face as green as the King of Hell in the underworld.
Lu Jing was shocked when he saw this, and blurted out, "Has Hanshanke escaped already?!"
The old zombie heard the footsteps coming from outside the alley, and he had already put a hand into his arms, but when he saw the person clearly, he took out his hand again, frowned and said, "Aren't you going to the palace to practice? Why are you back so soon? Who else is Hanshanke?"
"That's the Zhaozong Zhu Zhen."
"Zhaozong? Didn't he die more than forty years ago? Why is he in the academy?" The old zombie was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized, "Did he go to Jinghu Valley to make a paper man? No wonder, Back then, I thought his death was a bit strange."
Lu Jing was also startled when he saw the old zombie, "Why, didn't he run away?"
"The paper man cannot leave the academy," the old zombie shook his head. "Since they have chosen to stay away from the world's disputes, how can it be without any price - with Ji Ziji and twenty-two here, they will never have the chance to come out again in this life."
"But I remember that there are paper figures in Jinghu Valley that Guo Shaojian wants to take into the academy. Do they all have to stay in the academy forever?" Lu Jing thought of Dongmen Weilan.
"You are talking about the little girl from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley," said the old zombie. "Her situation is quite special. Guo Shaojian gave her a chance to make a choice. Her name has not been engraved on the number two for the time being. .”
Lu Jing was relieved after hearing the old zombie's answer, and then asked curiously, "Then why did you move a stool and sit here, Mr. Dong?"
"Because someone stole my coffin." The old zombie said with a livid face.
"…………"
Lu Jing was speechless for a moment. Si Tianjian used the "well" to connect Jiuzhou. In order to keep a low profile as much as possible and avoid unnecessary trouble, the location of each "well" was usually set up... in the underworld.
The coffin shop and the paper doll shop were places where most people wouldn't or wouldn't want to come in. To be honest, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Lu Jing wouldn't believe that anyone would steal the old zombie's head.
"Is there anything else missing besides the coffin?"
"There is nothing else," the old zombie shook his head, "I just checked around again and found that there are two missing coffins in the shop. There is also a golden nanmu coffin, which I specially reserved for myself. There are no less than three coffins. Thousand taels of silver. The most hateful thing is that the thief didn't say anything about stealing the coffin. He actually left a message, saying that he would come back next time. Haha, from today on, I will be waiting in this coffin shop. What do I want to see about him? It’s time to come again.”
Lu Jing didn't know what to say. As far as he knew, Si Tianjian arranged a formation by the [well], but the coffin shop and the paper man shop were used as a cover to not attract attention. But there are no additional means of defense.
Lu Jing comforted the old zombie casually, and then hurried back to the academy, and then went straight to Jinghu Valley. Even with what the old zombie said just now, Lu Jing still found it difficult to let go before seeing Han Shanker. Come.
Fortunately, when he arrived at Hanshanke's residence, he saw that the latter was still staying there well.
Hanshanke has climbed up the tree now and is ready to rest.
The look on Lu Jinghou's face was very surprised, "I don't know why you are so anxious to get the poison pill, but there is no need to run to my place twice a day."
Lu Jing hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Senior Zhu... do you know Master Dongxuan?"
"Master Dongxuan?" Zhu Jie thought seriously for a moment, then shrugged and said, "I don't remember. I visited many Taoists in order to seek immortality. Unfortunately, they could only extend their lives at most, but they couldn't. Immortality, to my great disappointment, many of them, I can’t even remember their names now.”
Seeing that Han Shanke spoke frankly, Lu Jing's original doubts about him dissipated a lot.
Indeed, Master and Disciple Dongxuan have been making fuss about Hanshanke at tonight's dinner, but there is no evidence that they really know each other, and it cannot be ruled out that they are just using what happened forty years ago to weaken them. Chen Chao was stabbed with a knife.
Even if they could fabricate another Zhu Zhen to take up the banner of anti-Chen, they don't necessarily have to invite the real owner out... Thinking of this, Lu Jing also felt that he was a little too worried before.
The main reason was that the poison was too important to him. The closer it got to the last moment, the more Lu Jing was worried about something going wrong.
Seeing that Lu Jing was deep in thought, Hanshanke took the initiative and said, "It seems you already know who I am. Why, did that Master Dongxuan say he knows me?"
"Oh, that's not true, but one of his apprentices mentioned that you were dying. Oh no... it should be that you had a posthumous child before you faked your death."
After hearing this, Hanshanke seemed a little funny and raised his eyebrows, "I have a child, how come I didn't know about it?" After a pause, he continued, "My body is not easy for women to conceive, and I have never had any children. , and later refined the Cynomorium Pill according to ancient recipes, hoping to maintain vitality forever by preventing the loss of Yang Qi. From then on, it was even less likely to have any children. That person's words were pure nonsense, but when I heard you say this Said, coupled with the previous events, it seems that the official family of Chen Dynasty may also encounter some troubles now."
"How did you know?"
"It's very simple. If his seat is stable enough, he doesn't need to worry about me at all." Hanshanke waved his hand, "I was born more than forty years ago, and there are still a few people in the court who remember me. Mine, and their current glory and wealth are all given by that person. They can't switch to my sect just because they miss some old feelings. As for the people of the world, it is even less likely that the people of the world will miss me. In fact, they don't care about sitting at all. Who is the person on the chair? He only cares about the rice bowl in his hands. If he has rice, he is a mother."
"Senior has a clear view." Lu Jing praised.
"After all, I have sat in that position after all. Although it wasn't long and I don't have this ambition, I still understand what I need to know." Hanshanke smiled, "But these things are now It has nothing to do with me anymore. It’s not my turn to worry about whether the Chen Dynasty rises or falls. I’d better practice my elixirs.”
However, when he said this, he remembered something again and exclaimed, "You said the world is going to be in chaos? Then I will have to stock up on more medicinal materials in the future so that I can't find a place to buy them. Well, I will let Ah Bao goes to deliver the prescription."
