Chapter 44
Nangong Zui glanced at Wei Jie when he heard the words, and seemed to be a little apprehensive.
Seeing this, Wei Jie walked forward without saying a word, leaving the two of them staring blankly behind.
Nangongzui looked at Wei Jie's back and scratched his head inexplicably, Fusu looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Go back and talk."
Nangong Zui responded, and the two walked forward side by side.
Zhiting Island is located in the south, and the four seasons are like spring. Along the way, there are blooming flowers, the air is full of flowers and herbs, and the sound of running water is in the ears, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Fusu followed Nangong Zui to a courtyard. The courtyard was full of pink flower clusters. Butterflies of various colors were flying among the flowers, and the petals fluttered with the breeze.
Seeing Fusu staring at the garden, Nangong smiled shyly, "This is the yard I used to live in, and it hasn't changed at all after so many years."
Fu Su nodded and did not answer the words, the two opened the wooden door and walked into the room, Xiu Zhu was sitting at the table with a book in his hand, but he didn't seem to like it that much.
Fusu looked suspiciously, only to see a few large characters written on the book "The Merry Widow of the Next Door Village"
Fusu "..."
Seeing this, Nangong Zui looked away innocently.
Xiuzhu caught a glimpse of the two from the corner of his eye, he put the book on the table casually, stood up and looked at Fusu.
Fusu approached, looked at the books on the table with a smile and teased, "It's very interesting to practice the Dharma."
Xiuzhu looked at Fusu's expression unchanged, with a calm face, he picked up the book again, raised the corner of his mouth lightly, looked at Nangongzui who was behind Fusu looking up at the sky, and said with a smile: "It's really interesting."
Fu Su walked to the table and sat down, took a sip of a cup of tea, looked at the two of them, and asked, "How is the matter going?"
Hearing this, Nangong Zui hurried forward to put away the book, wrote it under the table, and said, "Master will stay in the pharmacy all day and concentrate on making medicines after he comes back."
"Then what happened to you before?"
Nangong Zui's expression darkened, he poured a cup of tea and took a sip indiscriminately, hesitating for a long time and said: "Although the surface of the master has not changed, I always feel weird."
"strange?"
Nangongzui nodded, thought for a while, and said: "For example, the "Compendium of Herbal Medicine" in Lianshan Academy before, the former master would definitely not read this book, and it is fragrant, whether it is Lianshan Academy or in the carriage. Even on the island, the incense burnt in the incense burner is not the same as the former master, but people's preferences will always change,
So even though I have doubts, I dare not say anything.But a person's living habits will not change easily. Master is good at medicine, and you can judge the properties, color, and taste of the medicine with just one glance.But now the master always asks before taking medicine habitually before making a judgment. "
Fusu looked at Nangong drunk and asked suspiciously: "You mean this Qiu Gaojie might be a fake?"
Nangong was drunk for a moment, but still nodded. He fiddled with the teacup, and said with some disappointment: "I don't dare to make a rash decision... After all, I have been away for so many years."
Fusu comforted Chao Nangong with a drunken smile, and he said softly: "I hope so."
He looked at Xiuzhu who was silent at the side, and said: "It's not too late, we will explore Zhiting Island tonight, Nangong is responsible for holding Qiu Gaojie, but don't turn back suddenly like last time."
The two nodded, Nangong Zui looked at Fu Su suspiciously and said, "By the way, when did you and that Wei Xuanqi become so close?"
"Good?"
Nangong Zui nodded and looked him up and down: "Just now you came together, the atmosphere was weird."
Fu Su was taken aback for a moment, and the images of the two of them getting along in the past few days appeared in his mind.He patted Nangong Zui's forehead with his hand, and said, "What have you been thinking about all day, you little head?"
Nangong Zui glared at him, rubbed his forehead, and said, "What's so embarrassing, there are more men than women in the world of cultivating immortals, and there are even fewer female cultivators who are suitable for dual cultivation, so two men are not No, right, Xiuzhu"
Nangong Zui spoke and looked at Xiuzhu who was at the side, Fusu also looked at him suspiciously when he saw this.
Xiuzhu looked at the curious Fusu, his eyes darkened slightly, he left a sentence of "maybe" before turning and leaving.
Nangongzui looked at the closed door and said in confusion, frowning, with a puzzled expression, Fusu also shrugged helplessly when he saw this.

Zhiting Island at night
Because several monks gathered on Zhiting Island, regardless of the reason, the visitors were just guests, so Qiu Gaojie ordered his servants to prepare a dinner to welcome them.
Zhiting Island stands in the middle of the lake, surrounded by azure blue.At night, when the stars are twilight, a maidservant in pink puts down beautiful lanterns in the lake. The whole lake is brightly lit, and the lanterns are illuminated by the lights, making it very lively.
Lanterns were hung all over the island, and all along the banquet hall was brightly lit.Women in pink shuttled among them, laughing and laughing.
Although it was a lively scene, because several people had their own concerns, no one appreciated it. Apart from the sound of bowls and chopsticks, there was Han Ruoer's laughter.
Han Ruo'er has lived in Zhiting Island for a long time, and now the island is bustling with activity, and her beloved Wei Jie is sitting next to her, the whole person is very happy, her crimson face is full of smiles.Today she specially put on new clothes and painted the most exquisite makeup, youthful, lively, cheerful and beautiful.
She looked at Wei Jie shyly, picked up the wine on the table and poured her a glass, and said coquettishly: "Brother Wei, this is a specialty of my Zhiting Island, try it."
Wei Jie sat upright and looked straight ahead. He was dressed in black and had black hair. He was very handsome, but he didn't respond to Han Ruoer's shyness at all.
Han Ruo'er put down her wine glass in frustration, and sat beside her sullenly.
Fu Su sat on the other side holding his hands in boredom, and Nan Gong Zui sat beside him, looking a little glum because of what he planned tonight.
Everyone had dinner with their own thoughts, but Qiu Gaojie left the table early because he was thinking about pharmaceuticals.
Nangongzui looked at Qiu Gaojie's leaving figure, exchanged glances with Fusu and hurriedly followed.
Seeing this, Han Ruoer looked at the people suspiciously. Why did she feel that the atmosphere of the past few days was weird?
"Brother Wei, the lanterns on Zhiting Island are the most famous, if you go with Brother Wei to see it later, okay?"
Han Ruo'er was ashamed, looked at Wei Jie, and said softly.
Wei Jie glanced at him upon hearing this, and said indifferently, "Go by yourself."
Han Ruoer froze for a moment, widened her big eyes, and looked at him in surprise.Brother Wei talk to her! ! !
"Then if Brother Wei wants to see it, call Ruo'er. Ruo'er will definitely take Brother Wei to see all the beautiful scenery on Zhiting Island."
Fusu fiddled with the wine glass on the table, and heard the voices of the two, he curled his lips secretly, then looked at Xiu Zhu, and said: "Let's go."
Xiuzhu looked at him suspiciously, then nodded to him, and the two got up one after the other and left the banquet hall.
Han Ruo'er saw that the people in the way had left, she was looking at Wei Jie with joy, but when she was about to speak, Wei Jie got up suddenly and left the banquet hall.
Han Ruo'er looked at Wei Jie's leaving figure in disappointment, and drained the wine in the glass in aggrieved manner.
Fusu and Xiuzhu walked side by side, the surrounding lanterns gave off a warm light, and the evening breeze blew gently, bringing the fragrance of flowers.
The environment of Zhiting Island is at the forefront among the four sects. It is midsummer at this time, and the beauty of the environment can only make people feel refreshed.
The two came to a pavilion, where tea was placed on a stone table made of marble.
Fusu sat leisurely at the table, only to feel a gust of wind passing by and a woman's unique fragrance, and in a blink of an eye, a woman appeared. The woman was dressed in purple, her long hair was tied lightly with hairpins, and her eyes were as charming as silk. Snake waist, charming eyes, and charming red lips.
The corners of He Lianxue's lips were lightly raised, her eyes were smiling, she looked at Fusu, and said softly: "Long time no see, how did the Lord become so cute?"
She stretched out her hand, and just about to lightly touch Fusu's brow with her white and slender fingers, Xiuzhu grabbed her hand and said in a deep voice: "Enough."
He Lianxue looked at Xiu Zhu sadly, with tears in her eyes, she bit her teeth lightly, and said aggrievedly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but repairing the Dharma is still so boring."
"How about the thing I asked you to check?"
Xiuzhu didn't have a regular meeting with He Lianxue, so he asked directly.
He Lianxue glanced at him boredly, and then said softly: "Of course, I checked, it is a cook on the mountain, but the interesting thing is that the cook has no impression of what she did, I let people After checking, she was poisoned."
poison?
Fu Su frowned slightly when he heard this, why are all recent events related to poison?
He Lianxue looked at Fusu who was silent, and said with a charming smile: "I know about the matter of His Holiness in Zha Junze Village recently, this concubine specially went to find something to solve the troubles of His Holiness, maybe it can help His Holiness .”
Fu Su watched He Lianxue raise her eyebrows slightly, He Lianxue smiled slightly when she saw this, and then took out something out of thin air and handed it to Fu Su.
Fusu took the scroll in her hand, opened it, and looked carefully...
On it were impressively written the events of Qiu Gaojie's life, Fu Su read it all the way, and was stunned when he saw something again.
----Luo Shushan, Qiu Gaojie's apprentice, whose mother is Luo Xiao, a daughter of Junze Village---
Fusu looked at Xiu Zhu suspiciously, and asked, "What's the name of that woman in Junze Village?"
Xiu Zhu heard the words and responded, "Luo Xiao"
Fusu's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he looked at the scroll carefully.
The scroll recorded Qiu Gaojie's life, but for a while it did mention it briefly.
If Luo Shushan, one of Qiu Gaojie's apprentices, is Luo Xiao's daughter, then what is the relationship between them?Rong Ji and Fei Chengzhu robbed Luo Xiao, and after Luo Xiao killed himself, Fei Chengzhu invited Qiu Gaojie to save his soul.Afterwards, Qiu Gaojie took Luo Shushan as his apprentice.
Fusu put down the scroll, looked at Xiuzhu, and said in a deep voice: "Xiu Zhushan, you go and find out everything about Xiuzhu after his subordinate Luo Shushan became a disciple, including Luo Shushan's entire experience."
Xiuzhu was taken aback, looked at Fusu, and said worriedly: "What happened tonight..."
"I'll just go by myself."
Fusu threw the scroll to Xiu Zhu, said in a deep voice, "Go and find out what needs to be done."
Xiuzhu took the scroll, opened it and read it, and responded with a sound.
He Lianxue looked at Fusu and said with a smile: "This concubine has a relationship with a cultivator on the island, so it is not suitable to stay for a long time. If the lord has something to do, he can directly summon the concubine."
Fu Su nodded when he heard the words, He Lianxue chuckled, and suddenly disappeared in place.
Xiuzhu looked at Fusu with a serious expression, and after the two exchanged a glance, he turned and walked away.
Seeing Xiuzhu's disappearing figure, Fusu played with the teacup in his hand, with a smile that was inevitable.
****
At night, after the bustling Zhiting Island regained its tranquility in the evening.
In the hospital on Zhiting Island, I saw a figure slowly walking forward in the dark night, quickly turning over and entering the courtyard.
Fu Su flew up to the roof, he lifted a piece of bricks and saw that the room was dark and silent, he took out a small paper doll, flipped his palm, and the paper doll bounced and fell into the room.
Fu Su jumped down from the roof, went to the door and pushed lightly, and the wooden door opened.The little paper man happily jumped onto Fusu's shoulder. Fusu gave it an approving look, and then stepped into the house.
In the darkness, its outline could be faintly seen. Fusu stood in the darkness for a while, and then began to check after his eyes got used to it.
Qiu Gaojie's room is very big, except for a bed and a table, it is full of bookcases, and the bookcases are gradually full of books. If you look carefully, they are all medical related.
Qiu Gaojie is a kind person, but his house is bleak and there is no trace of habitation at all. Fusu is slightly puzzled, does Qiu Gaojie have another place to live?
Thinking about the censer Nan Gongzui mentioned, Fusu approached the censer and opened it, there were all burnt incense residues in it, nothing could be seen at all.
Qiu Gaojie's room is not as tidy as other places, but it is too tidy, which always makes people feel a little weird.
Fusu glanced around, there should be a secret passage.
In the dark night, except for the bookcases, there are basically no decorations in the room, except for a painting hanging on the wall.
Fusu stepped forward and walked into the painting slowly. He raised his hand and was about to touch the painting when a shallow breathing sound came from behind him.Fusu was startled, his palm suddenly picked up, and when he was about to attack, he held the back of his hand, and a voice came from behind: "It's me!"
Fusu froze for a moment, then looked back, in the dark night, he saw Wei Jie standing behind him, he grabbed his hand, staring at him closely, there seemed to be stars twinkling in his deep eyes.
Fusu stared blankly at Wei Jie, Wei Jie put down his hand and looked at him coldly, he didn't speak, his body exuded a coldness.
Fusu came back to his senses, looked at Wei Jie, and said softly, "Friend Daoist Wei..."
Wei Jie looked at him and said in a deep voice, "You suspect Qiu Gaojie"
Fusu suddenly had the illusion of being caught cheating, he stood there and nodded embarrassingly.
Seeing Wei Jie's cold eyes, Fu Su subconsciously took a step back, and Wei Jie also took a step forward upon seeing this.Fusu was pressed hard, he leaned against the wall, thought for a while, looked at Wei Jie, and said softly, "Don't be angry. I'll tell you everything"
Wei Jie's expression moved slightly when he heard the words, Fusu hurriedly told Wei Jie the ins and outs of the matter.
After hearing this, Wei Jie looked at Fu Su, and finally took a step back. Fu Su breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the silent Wei Jie.
Why did he feel that Wei Jie still seemed unhappy?
Wei Jie stepped forward and looked at the painting in front of him, he said in a deep voice, "There is an enchantment."
Fusu was taken aback, turned around to look, and saw Wei Jie touching the painting with his hand, and suddenly his hand had a flash of inspiration, and the wall hanging on the painting suddenly opened.
Fusu:...
Sure enough, there are people who follow the boss to eat meat
The two walked into the secret passage side by side, and saw that it was a stone staircase, along the stone staircase and along the wall, there were a few night pearls, and the whole secret passage was bright.
The two walked down the secret path, and a room appeared in front of them, surrounded by walls on all sides, and there was a bed in it, as well as some miscellaneous daily utensils, and a cabinet full of small porcelain bottles.
Fusu went to the desk and saw a book on it.He opened the book suspiciously, and there were various strange poison preparation methods recorded in it.
Some of the thinly-turned pages contained texts about controlling human beings, refining corpses, and poisoning people.
Fusu put down his book and explored the room in front of him, only to see Wei Jie standing in front of the bed with a somewhat puzzled look.
Fusu approached, and saw a... rattle on the bed?
Fusu picked up the rattle and frowned suspiciously. She didn't expect Qiu Gaojie to have such a preference...
