Chapter 17
"Grandpa, Miss Six is not dead." Kang Sheng stood in the lower position and clapped his hands to report back to Duke Qin.
"What! Didn't die?"
Qin Guogong was a little shocked. Today, his emotions have been in a state of ups and downs, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
"It's fine if you don't die, it's fine if you don't die." Although he said so, Qin Guogong waved his sleeves, but he didn't care much.
He continued to write the reward order, and now Qin Guogong has no time to continue to take care of her affairs.
Seeing this, Kang Sheng withdrew from the study.
Dongchen Kingdom has been very lively recently. Dongting Village, not far from the capital city, has descended a secret realm at some point.
This is something that has not happened in Dongchen Kingdom for hundreds of years.
The entrance to the secret realm happened to be located in a cave, and the bottom of the cave continued to emit faint golden light.
Curious villagers went in to check, but they all disappeared inexplicably.
In the beginning, this incident was only spread by word of mouth among the villagers in Dongting Village.
However, due to the large number of missing villagers, the yamen sent officials to investigate, but they didn't want all the officials sent along with them to disappear.
This incident finally alarmed the capital, and it was hotly discussed among the ruling and opposition parties for a while.
After consulting and discussing with many ministers, it was finally determined that all the missing people in Dongting Village should have entered the secret realm.
This was originally an extremely secret matter, but it was not known who spread it, and it was even spread in a mysterious way. For a while, the news of the elixir of life in the secret territory was spread in the streets and alleys.
Because of this rumor, more people who are not afraid of death sneaked in to find medicine, but they have not yet come out. Many people say that they died in the secret realm.
What's more, even the second son and eighth prince of Xuanpinghou's mansion brought several teams of guards to ask for medicine.
After getting the news, Xuan Pinghou was so angry that he fainted in the study on the spot, and even the queen mother fell ill.
During this period of time, the entire Dongchen Kingdom recruited capable people, strangers, and immortals to go to the secret realm to save people, and the rewards alone were countless.
Qin Guogong was just watching the excitement.
But just now, Zhou Fu stood in front of him tremblingly...
Qin Guogong took a look at him and recognized him as a servant in Xuanzhu Courtyard. Seeing the servant yelling and looking like the sky was falling, he frowned and felt a little inappropriate.
"Just talk about it if you have something to say, what's the point of yelling?" Qin Guogong glanced at him coldly.
Zhou Fu's face was terrified, his eyes revealed fear, and he looked completely absent-minded, "Master Guo, it's the Seventh Young Master... who secretly went to the secret realm yesterday."
Qin Guogong was so shocked by the news that his beard trembled. He was so angry that he couldn't hold the tea set firmly in his hand. There was a click, and the porcelain fragments shattered and splashed everywhere.
"What?" He growled at Zhou Fu.
Seeing that Duke Qin was angry, Zhou Fu knelt down on the ground in fear for a while.
He didn't dare to hide it, and confessed everything.
"This morning, when the servants of Xuanzhuyuan waited for the seventh young master to get up early, they found that there was no one in the room. There was only a note on the table that said going to the secret realm."
Zhou Fu handed the note to Duke Qin, and then continued to kneel, not daring to look at him.
After reading the note, Qin Guogong was almost furious.In an instant, his body suddenly lost strength, and he fell into a chair.
Sure enough, just watching the excitement will be punished.
He pointed weakly at Zhou Fu who was kneeling on the ground, "If you can't take good care of your master, all the servants in Xuanzhuyuan will receive [-] boards each, and you will be fined for three months."
After Zhou Fu listened, his face turned blue instantly.
Immediately afterwards, Duke Qin waved his hand and dispersed all the servants in the room, "You all go down."
Qin Guogong sat on the chair for a long time.
Dongchen Kingdom's aura is thin now, and people don't advocate cultivating immortals.
But that wasn't the case thousands of years ago.
There used to be a cultivator from the ancestors of the Qin family, who also left a magic weapon for the Qin family.But when it was passed down to his generation, no one knew what it was for.
He turned a celadon vase on the low table in the study, and there was a sound of heavy objects mopping the floor behind the bookshelf, which was the secret room in his study.
Not long after Qin Guogong entered the secret room, he came out with a jade pendant with a simple appearance and a somewhat dull color.
Although Dongchen Kingdom has recruited many capable people and strangers, if there are no valuable rewards, no one will really go in to rescue them.
For the safety of his son, Qin Guogong could only take out that magic weapon.
In Lanpu courtyard, Qin Manjing was practicing cross-legged.
Due to the lack of aura in the outside world, Qin Manjing couldn't count how many times she strengthened her cultivation base.
However, what she didn't know was that this kind of operation would be of great benefit to her future cultivation.
Suddenly, she heard the courtyard door outside the house being knocked lightly, "Knock knock..." It only rang a few times and then stopped.
Almost no one who came to her place knocked on the door so softly, Qin Manjing suddenly became curious about who it was.
After suspending her practice, she walked to the gate of the courtyard, took off the wooden stick against the gate, and opened the gate slightly.
Before she could see who the person was, the person called softly: "Miss Six, I'm Changji."
Qin Manjing was a little surprised to see him, she never thought that Changji would come.
Changji didn't notice any change in Qin Manjing's expression. Instead, he said through the door, "The villain has done all the things Miss Six arranged for the villain to do."
After speaking, he glanced at Qin Manjing several times through the corner of the open courtyard door, and unconsciously smirked, "I heard that Miss Six is dead, but I frightened the villain."
He rubbed his head embarrassingly, "Looking at it now, Miss Six is not doing well."
Only then did Qin Manjing understand Changji's reason for coming. It turned out that he was worried that she would die and no one would give him the antidote.
In fact, it is quite normal for Changji to have such concerns.In fact, when he first took Bigu Pill, he didn't feel the slightest bit hungry for several days, and he was so scared that he ate more than usual.
With such an abnormal body, he also believed in the power of the poison, and was even more afraid that he would be sucked into something that he would do after three months.
Seeing this, Qin Manjing felt a little guilty, and she took the initiative to comfort her: "If something happens to me, I will hide the antidote in this courtyard."
Originally, Qin Manjing wanted to tell him that everything was false, but she didn't dare to bet whether Changji would tell Qin Guogong the matter after he knew it.So she still has to buy more time for herself.
Unexpectedly, when Chang Ji heard her say this, his eyes were red, and he looked at Qin Manjing gratefully, "Thank you Miss Six, Miss Six, you are such a good person."
[Changji favorability +8, now favorability is 26.]
"..."
After sending Chang Ji away, Qin Manjing was still a little dazed. She suddenly felt that Chang Ji... seemed a little silly.
She stood by the door, pursed her lips unnaturally, and put all these strange thoughts behind her.
Suddenly, the voice of the system sounded in Qin Manjing's mind.
[The host is asked to complete the daily task - enter the secret realm.Complete missions to get daily rewards. 】
"Secret realm?" Qin Manjing looked puzzled.
[Secret realms are usually some unknown different spaces, where dangers and opportunities often coexist. 】
[Recently, a secret realm in Dongchen Kingdom came to the world.In order to improve cultivation and enhance strength, the host is invited to enter the secret realm to practice. 】
"Then how do I leave Duke Qin's mansion?"
Qin Manjing is also very interested in the secret realm, but it is not easy for her to get out after being trapped in the Qin family.
[Host, daily tasks require you to use your wit to complete them.The same task failure will have a lightning strike penalty. 】
Before that, Qin Manjing altered the padded coat that was rewarded by the system with needlework, and made it into a dark gray cloak with a big hood.Needlework is a friendly gift from the system.
The cloak is so large that it can completely wrap around her figure, and the hood can also firmly cover her face.
There was still some fabric left, and Qin Manjing made another mask, just in case it could still cover her face under the hood.
It happened that she became much stronger after introducing Qi into her body, and she no longer needed the cotton padded clothes, so she simply used them to make a cloak in preparation for her leaving the Duke Qin's mansion in the future.
After those people left in a hurry, they forgot to lock the Lanpu courtyard, so it is easy for her to leave this small courtyard.
But it was a bit difficult to leave Qin Guogong's mansion.
Qin Manjing put on a mask and a dark gray cloak, covering her whole body tightly.
In order to create an image that she had been staying in the small courtyard, she even locked the courtyard door before leaving.
There are many guards stationed at the gate of Qin Guogong's mansion. Although Qin Manjing doesn't need to be afraid of ordinary people as a cultivator, she doesn't want to attract others' attention.
Avoiding the patrolling courtyard and walking servants, Qin Manjing quietly circled the entire palace wall of Duke Qin's mansion.Now her hearing is much better, and it is relatively easy to avoid the sight of mortals.
Although these mansion walls were very tall, and it was difficult to climb without a foothold, she finally found a suitable place.
A tree grew by the wall near the little door.
Ordinary people may not be able to find Duke Qin's mansion with the help of this tree, but Qin Manjing is no longer an ordinary person.
She clearly noticed that her physical strength and endurance were much better than when she was a mortal.
Taking advantage of the time when the servants on duty by the small gate left, Qin Manjing took the opportunity to nimbly climb up to the highest point of the tree trunk.
But before Qin Manjing could move, a bright-eyed nun quietly walked towards the small door.At this time, the tree trunk was not covered by any leaves. If it was discovered, Qin Manjing's actions would definitely cause turmoil in the Duke's Mansion.
The situation was urgent, Qin Manjing rushed to the wall in a hurry, and successfully climbed up the wall of Duke Qin's mansion with both hands. She propped up her arms vigorously and climbed up with her legs.
Qin Manjing bent her body against the tiles, breathing slowly, trying not to attract attention.
At this time, the nanny ran to the small door while no one was there, and opened the lock on the door.
She looked left and right for a while, then took out something she didn't know what it was from her arms like a thief, and handed it to the person outside the door, and then locked the door again.
After all, the nanny looked around for a while, and ran away quickly when no one saw her.Until the servant on duty returned, everything returned to silence.
It is now approaching evening, and there are horse-drawn carriages passing by outside from time to time.
Qin Manjing deliberately waited until no one was there before jumping off the wall, while controlling her body to roll forward and land on the ground.
"System, where is the secret place?" She quietly flashed into the dark place.
Qin Manjing never thought that she could leave the Duke Qin's mansion so easily.
At this moment, the giant beast cage that had trapped her for seven years was right behind her.
Now, she has a feeling of complete freedom.
And this feeling was brought to her by strength, Qin Manjing clenched her fists hard.
[Host, the secret realm is in the west, so you need to leave the city first. 】
