Tianyi

Chapter 42 Yellow Clothes (14)

Brother Sun replied: "After I got home, I boasted to my grandfather and let the truth slip, and my grandfather scolded me miserably. Moreover, my grandfather actually refused to allow me to submit this prism to the Chief Ouchi. Grandpa said, this is The treasures of the world should not fall into the hands of the government. If someone in the court gets this treasure, who knows what trouble will happen."

"Grandpa said that rivers and lakes have their own rules, and their things belong to whomever they belong to. Every injustice has its own owner, and even if the owner of the thing caused trouble, the owner of the thing will try to deal with it. I need to make trouble. Grandpa ordered me to put the Seven Skill Prism back to its original place in the palace when I am on duty again, and I am not allowed to see who came to take it away."

Xue Yi opened her eyes wide and asked curiously: "Do you just listen to your grandpa?"

Brother Sun squirmed and said, "I don't think so... I put the Seven Skills Prism back to its original place in the palace at night, but I waited in the dark to see who was coming to get it. Besides, I was still thinking about it. Who would be such an idiot to come back to the same place to look for something after such a long time?”

"Unexpectedly, out of the darkness, a white shadow suddenly appeared from the palace wall behind me. I was startled and gesticulated hurriedly for a while, then I remembered that it was just a projection. Shadows are nothing to be afraid of. But when I looked up again, the seven-skilled prism on the ground was gone, and I couldn't see who took it away."

Xue Yi murmured: "In the palace...how could I be in the palace..."

Brother Sun looked at Xue Yi and asked tentatively: "Can the sect master guess who that person is?"

Xue Yi shook his head and said: "No, no, I have no way of guessing this person."

Everyone in the courtyard was silent.

Brother Sun looked around and saw that there was no problem, so he relaxed and started drinking and eating.

Seeing that he was enjoying the meal, Brown Yi simply returned to the kitchen. After a while, he brought out two more dishes and filled the small table.

These few dishes were quickly eaten up by Brother Sun, who kept saying "delicious".

Xue Yi waited for him to finish eating before saying, "I have one last question."

Brother Sun stood up and saluted, saying: "Master, please speak."

Xue Yi asked: "Have you ever seen a doctor wearing yellow clothes in the capital?"

Brother Sun thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "No. There are quite a few private medical clinics in the capital, but I haven't heard of any doctor who is particularly famous. For people like mine, if they really want to see a doctor, they have to go to Taiyuan Hospital... Oh, By the way, speaking of it, there is a poor man in Tai's Hospital who specializes in medicinal herbs. He has white hair and a white beard. He prefers to wear yellow clothes. He seems to have never changed. I saw him several times when I accompanied my grandfather to see a doctor. He is a doctor. Huh?"

"Sister Huang Yi is pretending to be an old man?" Chi Yi shouted. She had been silent for such a long time, and it was really hard for her to hold back.

Xue Yi asked: "Why do you remember this poor man?"

Brother Sun said: "Hey, I acted recklessly. When I saw that the old man was very old and was still working hard to make herbs every day, I went to quarrel with the imperial doctor on duty, saying that they were not employing people properly. The imperial doctor on duty said that I was unreasonable and said that this man's age Although he is big, he can recognize herbs faster than anyone else, and the guillotine herbs are thinner than anyone else. It is none of my business if people volunteer to do this job here... In this way, I will remember this poor man."

Xue Yi nodded and said, "Then I don't have to ask anymore. You have kept your promise and told me everything you knew. But now, I want to ask you to help me with one more thing. Is that okay?"

Brother Sun said with certainty: "Nothing is impossible."

Xue Yi said: "Please go back to the capital and tell that old man that Tianyi Sect has called her back."

Brother Sun was very curious and asked: "Is this poor man actually a woman pretending to be a woman? And he is also from your Tianyi Sect? Master, it is easy for me to give you a message, but why should she trust me?"

Xue Yi thought for a while and said seriously: "Tell her that in ten days, I will lift up the coffin. She will be there or not by then. Please make her own choice."

"Lift the coffin?" All the sisters in the courtyard exclaimed and gathered around.

Brother Sun was caught off guard and was caught in the middle of the five women. He immediately lost his hands and feet.

Xue Yi signaled her sisters to be silent and said warmly to Brother Sun: "Please, just bring my words as they are. It's a long way to the capital. Even if you hurry up, it will take five days. If she is willing to leave immediately, she will arrive in ten days." But come back, I will wait for her until this moment ten days later."

The old chariot had already led the horse. Seeing this situation, Brother Sun said no more questions and said goodbye to everyone.

Back in the main room, the six sisters and Lao Che sat around the table, all looking serious.

Xue Yi did not wait for anyone to ask questions, and said first: "Now that the Seven Skills Prism has confirmed the present world, it makes me suspicious of the master's death. Therefore, I decided to lift up the coffin to check. Sisters, Lao Che, do you have any opinions?"

Brown Yi said: "Sister, the Seven Skills Prism was originally together with the thin convex mirror. Master passed down the Thin Lens Convex Mirror, but not the Seven Skills Prism. We all thought that the Seven Skills Prism was left to you. . But who would have thought that the master was suddenly critically ill, and you were outside and couldn't get back in time. The Tianyi courtyard was chaotic and disorderly. On the day when the master was buried, the Seven Skills Prism was nowhere to be found... Now that he suddenly appears in this world, we should be thinking about it. There is a way to get it back, why does the eldest sister have to lift the coffin?"

Qing Yi said: "More than five years ago, Master suddenly fell ill. When he was critically ill, Sister Huang Yi couldn't take off her clothes. She waited on the bed for three days and three nights, but she couldn't wait until the eldest sister came back. With Sister Huang Yi's medical skills, she couldn't. Save, don’t be a second person in this world... Excuse me, eldest sister, do you have any doubts?"

It was rare for Lan Yi to speak, and he expressed his position succinctly: "Sister, if you are suspicious for no reason, it is not appropriate to disturb the master."

Ziyi persuaded softly: "Eldest sister, although I have always hoped that you would be decisive, I don't understand why the eldest sister suddenly made such a decision. It has been more than five years since the master was laid to rest. At this time, the coffin needs to be opened and the bones need to be removed. The grave... But back then, when we buried Master in the quiet place behind the Five Spirits Temple, the Master carefully calculated that it was an excellent Feng Shui treasure place. If we lift the coffin at this time, the Feng Shui will be broken, and he will be buried in the same place. Burial is even more taboo. Sister, why do you have to do this?"

Chiyi glared at Xueyi and said angrily: "Sister, if you don't speak clearly this time and use old things to excuse you, I won't accept it."

Xueyi listened carefully to what her sisters had to say, looked at the old car, and asked calmly: "What do you think?"

Lao Che was a little dazed, not knowing what he was thinking. Hearing Xue Yi ask him, Fang said, "I'm following the instructions from the sect master."

Xue Yi thought for a while and then said: "This matter is not difficult to explain clearly. I can make it clear to you in one sentence. I really doubt that the master was not dead more than five years ago. Therefore, I want to raise the coffin to verify."

"Ah?!" The main room suddenly exploded. The sisters all rushed to speak, and even the old car jumped up.

Xue Yi stroked his forehead and said nothing, just waiting for the room to become quiet again.

After a while, all the sisters felt discouraged, closed their mouths, and sat down again. Only Lao Che still stood, staring at Xue Yi.

Xueyi sat up straight and began to explain: "Although I didn't return home that year, Sister Huangyi's medical skills were already perfected. Although the master suddenly became critically ill, when I came back, I saw the master's body and asked what happened, and I also found out that Sister Huangyi She has tried her best, and no one in this world can do it better than her.”

"We, the seven sisters, studied with our master. Although we each have our own specialties, we are not completely ignorant of each other's abilities under the Tianyi sect. Our master passed away suddenly due to illness. This was the unanimous conclusion of our sisters back then. right?"

All the sisters nodded.

Xue Yi continued: "We buried the master and took care of the Tianyi Courtyard together. You all elected me as the leader of the Tianyi Sect. The seven sisters held up the perfect sign. In this way, after three years, our reputation It was getting better and better, and guests came more and more. But we sisters, each had different thoughts, and finally separated." "More than two years ago, you all said that you wanted to go back to your relatives, and only Chi Yi and I were left. Lao Che At that time, it had only been five years since he entered the Tianyi Sect, and he had been with the master for less than two years. He was not familiar with exploring the secrets at all, so I had to close the door and delist him."

Hearing Xue Yi slowly talking about old things, the sisters all had red eyes, but no one said anything.

Xue Yi sighed softly and said: "In the two years when I was behind closed doors, I traveled alone in the world to explore the secrets. I was accidentally attacked by a murderer. Although I saved my life, I could never stand up again. Last spring, one night, I couldn't When I fell asleep, I sat alone in front of the window and kept thinking, should I end my life and go underground to serve Master?"

Chiyi couldn't help shouting: "Sister..." Tears fell down.

Xue Yi continued: "On that night, I heard Master talking to me."

"What?" Once again, the hall felt like it was exploding.

But this time, it soon became quiet again. Everyone bit their lips and held their breath, looking at Xue Yi with burning eyes.

Xue Yi said: "That night, I was sitting alone in the wing room, with the flower window open, looking at the moon, and my heart was full of tangles. Just when I was feeling a little dazed, I suddenly saw a white shadow hanging on the window pane out of thin air, as if He nodded to me. I was startled at first, and then I thought of the Seven Skills Prism. I was about to call the old car, but I heard a faint sigh. It was Master's voice, blowing into my ears like the wind. .”

"Master sighed, 'Xueyi, I taught you in vain.' I immediately burst into tears and was speechless. Master then said, Tianyi Sect is not hers, nor mine, but all the people in the world. Women. If I really knew how to help each other, how could I be afraid of being a useless person? As the master's first disciple, I had been with the master for so long, but when something big happened, I became confused, which made it difficult for her to rest in peace. Therefore, Master said that she escaped the ghost mission and came back to see me. She only hopes that I can fully realize it, so she has fulfilled her last duty as a teacher."

"Master said, the white shadow disappeared instantly, and I was not allowed to reply a word." There were tears in Xueyi's eyes, but her voice was still as usual, and she said lightly: "After that night, I made up my mind, no matter what happened, No matter how difficult it is, I will reopen the Heavenly Clothes Gate and hang up the seamless signboard again, and I will definitely get you all back."

In the main room, there was a sound of sobbing.

Lao Che sat down blankly and said: "You...sect master, you have never told me about this matter."

Xue Yi said: "That night, although I also thought about the Seven Skills Prism, because I clearly heard Master's words in my ears, I had no doubts. Who else in this world can pretend to be Master's voice? Are you trying to coax me? Even if someone is really pretending, who can say those words? At that moment, I really believed that the master had indeed come back to see me in spirit."

"At the same time, I also believe that the missing Seven Skills Prism was indeed taken underground by Master. Our Master is the one who truly knows everything. I think maybe she had known that I would have such a thing. When Jie passed away, she took away the Seven Skills Prism just so that her soul could appear this night and let me hear her teachings again."

"Until this official case came out, I really had always thought and believed this. But now, I am guessing that that night, not even the old car heard the slightest movement. Maybe the master used it to Master, she may still be in this world, but she just doesn't want me to find out."

Qing Yi wiped her eyes and asked: "So, it wasn't until this time that General Guo Xing came and talked about seeing ghosts during the day that the eldest sister realized that the Seven Skills Prism had not been taken underground by the master and had always been in this world. , so the eldest sister became suspicious and thought that the master was actually not dead?"

Xue Yi asked back: "Don't you doubt it?"

Brown Yi sniffed and said in a low voice: "There was absolutely nothing suspicious at first. However, the eldest sister actually heard Master's voice with her own ears last year... Moreover, that little brother Sun is proof that the Seven Skills Prism is indeed alive... so Thinking about it, it’s obviously suspicious.”

Lan Yi was just wiping away tears and not speaking.

Ziyi rubbed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister, I know you are sad...but if you really want to lift the coffin, the matter is serious...is there any other way?"

Chi Yi's little face was red, and she was obviously trying hard to hold back her tears, and said: "If I had known earlier that eldest sister had heard Master's voice, I don't care what you think, I would have opened Master's tomb to take a look. Look...Master is not dead."

Lao Che let out a long sigh, raised his head and said: "Master, all the heroines, please lift up the coffin. My eldest sister has never believed in ghosts and gods in her life. If she really passed away, based on her character, she would not come back to see her. But. , there is no way the door owner could have misheard the eldest sister’s voice. Although I don’t know what happened to the eldest sister, I have to suspect that she may not really be in that tomb.”

Everyone nodded solemnly.

In a blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

The quiet place behind the Five Spirits Temple, in front of a carefully tended tomb.

Xue Yi was sitting in the wheelchair, clasping her hands together and mumbling something.

Everyone stood behind her. Each of the sisters held a shovel, but Lao Che had two shovels in his hand.

Not far away, there stood a teacher in Taoist robes, facing the tomb, holding a fly whisk, looking into the sky and praying.

Suddenly, a yellow figure ran quickly along the mountain road and arrived in front of the grave in a short while.

Everyone looked around and saw a slender woman in yellow clothes, with delicate features, a straight nose and a square mouth. She had a heroic aura about her body. She was blocking Xue Yi in front of her. She scolded her softly and said, "Wait a minute."

Xue Yi remained calm, raised his eyes to look at her, and said calmly: "Sister Huang Yi, you finally arrived. It's just a good time. The old car brought an extra shovel. We sisters, let's lift the coffin now."

Huang Yi asked anxiously: "Sister, why do you insist on disturbing the master's bones?"

Xue Yi stared at her and said: "This is a bit strange to ask...isn't it because the sister in yellow is hiding in court because you are already suspicious?"

Huang Yi was stunned, then calmed down his voice and said: "Sister, did you guess it? Hey, although I am suspicious, I have no proof. If I lift the coffin rashly, it will not be good if it disturbs the master. Back then, I was the one who served Master traveled to immortality, and Master passed away suddenly. Even if I don’t believe my own eyes, I dare not disbelieve Master’s face.”

Xue Yi said truthfully: "A year ago, I heard Master's voice with my own ears."

Huang Yi was stunned again, but immediately replied: "At that time, the Tianyi Gate had not yet been reopened, and the eldest sister was suffering from physical illness and was restless. What if the listener failed? This is not a proof."

Xue Yi nodded and said: "Yes, this does not count. But now, I am the sect leader of Tianyi Sect, and it is up to me to decide how to raise the coffin. The sect leader has orders, will you listen?"

Huang Yi was completely stunned.

Xue Yi waited patiently for her reply.

Finally, the man in yellow clothes saluted and said: "People of Tianyi Sect, please obey the order of the sect master."

After saying that, Huang Yi stepped aside and took the shovel from Lao Che.

Xue Yi looked at the tomb and calmly gave the order: "Lift the coffin!"
