Chapter 223 Lotus Tower (49)
In the back mountain, Li Xiangyi stood alone in front of his master's tomb with a solemn expression.
He took out a pot of wine from his arms and poured it in front of the tomb: "Master, I'm back to see you."
A breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, as if the master was responding to him.
The evening breeze blows gently, bringing bursts of floral fragrance.
"Master, I'm sorry, I still haven't found my brother's remains." Li Xiangyi's voice was low and full of self-blame.
He knelt in front of his master's grave, the moonlight shining on him, stretching his shadow very long.
"But, Master, don't worry, I will find it." Li Xiangyi raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination.
A breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, as if the master was responding to him.
"Also, Master, I'll bring Wanwan to see you after she's cured of the poison." Li Xiangyi's lips curled up into a gentle smile. "She's very kind and gentle. I like her very much."
"Master, your spirit in heaven must bless us."
Li Xiangyi stood in front of the tomb for a long time before turning around and leaving.
In the moonlight, his back looked a little lonely, but more determined.
"Xiang Yi." Master's wife and Qiao Wanwan came over.
"Master's wife, Ranran, why are you here?" Li Xiangyi asked.
"I came to see you." Master's wife said, "Xiangyi, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just let everything take its course."
"I understand, Master's wife." Li Xiangyi nodded.
"Let's go, let's go back and have dinner." said the master's wife.
The three of them returned to the villa together.
At the dinner table, the master's wife kept picking up food for Li Xiangyi and Qiao Wanwan, with a happy smile on her face.
"Xiangyi, Ranran, eat more." Master's wife said, "These are the foods you loved to eat when you were little."
"Thank you, Master's wife." Li Xiangyi and Qiao Wanwan said.
"We're family, why be so polite?" the mistress asked. "What are your plans for the future?"
"I plan to find Di Feisheng and get to the bottom of what happened back then," said Li Xiangyi.
"Then you must be careful." Master's wife warned, "Di Feisheng is not someone you can easily deal with."
"I know, Master's Wife." Li Xiangyi said, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect myself."
"And you, Wanwan, you have to take care of yourself too." Master's wife looked at Qiao Wanwan, "Your body can't stand the tossing and turning."
"I understand, Master's wife." Qiao Wanwan said.
"Yes." Master's wife nodded, "You two, both need to be well."
"We will be fine, Master's wife." Li Xiangyi and Qiao Wanwan said in unison.
"That's good, that's good." The master's wife smiled with relief.
The morning light was dim, and the room was still filled with a faint medicinal aroma. The Master's Wife sat at the table, her expression solemn, and she slowly spoke, "I recently received some news that may be helpful to Wanwan's health."
Li Xiangyi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked anxiously, "Master's Wife, what's the news?"
The Master's wife's gaze fell on Qiao Wanwan, and she whispered, "It is said that among Princess Fangji's burial objects was a precious medicine called 'Guanyin's Tears'. Consuming it can increase one's power and perhaps alleviate the poison in Wanwan's body."
After hearing this, Qiao Wanwan's face lit up with a glimmer of hope, and she asked softly, "Master's Wife, where is this 'Guanyin's Tears'?"
The Master's Wife pondered for a moment and said, "'Guanyin's Tears' was buried with Princess Fangji in a first-class tomb."
Li Xiangyi frowned slightly. A first-class tomb is not a good place. He turned to look at Qiao Wanwan, his eyes full of concern.
Qiao Wanwan sensed Li Xiangyi's worry, smiled gently, gently held his hand, and said, "Xiangyi, no matter what, we have to give it a try."
Li Xiangyi took a deep breath, nodded firmly, and said, "Okay, whether it's useful or not, let's go and take a look. As for Di Feisheng, we can go look for him after we get the 'Tears of Guanyin'."
Qiao Wanwan showed a relieved smile on her face and nodded.
The Master's Wife looked at them, a trace of relief flashing in her eyes, and said, "Since you have made up your mind, then go ahead. However, the First-Rank Tomb is extremely dangerous, so you must be extra careful."
Li Xiangyi and Qiao Wanwan responded in unison: "Yes, Master's Wife."
The next morning, Li Xiangyi and Qiao Wanwan got up early, packed their bags, and prepared to set off.
The master's wife sent them to the door and reminded them: "Be careful on the road, go early and come back early."
Li Xiangyi and Qiao Wanwan bid farewell to their master's wife and turned around to embark on a journey to Park Chu Mountain.
Pu Chu Mountain, where the First-Class Tomb is located, is a steep mountain shrouded in fog all year round, exuding a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere.
The two of them were exhausted from the journey and finally arrived at the small town at the foot of Park Ho Mountain in the evening. The town was not big, but it was bustling with people coming and going.
Li Xiangyi and Qiao Wanwan walked into an inn called "Yue Lai". The innkeeper, a middle-aged man in his forties, greeted them warmly upon seeing them approaching. "Gentlemen, would you like to stay overnight or have a meal?"
Li Xiangyi said, "Let's stay at the hotel. Prepare a room for us."
"Okay!" The shopkeeper responded, then turned to the waiter and shouted, "Xiao Liu, take these two guests to the top room upstairs."
Li Xiangyi and Qiao Wanwan followed the waiter upstairs. After entering the room, Li Xiangyi said to Qiao Wanwan, "Wanwan, you take a rest first. I'll go find out about the news of Yipin Tomb."
Qiao Wanwan nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead, but be careful."
Li Xiangyi smiled slightly, turned and left the room.
He came to the lobby of the inn, found a seat by the window, ordered a pot of tea and a few side dishes, and while sipping the tea, he paid attention to the conversations of the people around him.
The hall was bustling with people, and all kinds of sounds were intertwined. Li Xiangyi's ears moved slightly, catching useful information.
"Have you heard? Things are not going well in Park Hoe Mountain recently. It seems that seven headless corpses have appeared." A rough voice said.
"That's right. I heard someone saw it a few days ago." Another voice echoed.
"Alas, things are becoming increasingly unstable these days." An old voice sighed.
Li Xiangyi frowned slightly. It seemed that Park Chushan was indeed not a simple place. He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside the inn.
He turned around and saw Fang Duobing standing at the door of the inn, panting and looking angry.
Li Xiangyi was stunned. Why was Fang Duobing here?
Fang Duobing also saw Li Xiangyi and walked over quickly, saying angrily, "Li Lianhua! You've abandoned me again! This is too much!"
