Chapter 117 When something goes wrong, there must be a monster
Seeing Bai Xun standing at the window looking towards the theater, Bai Song sighed.
"Xundi, there are some things I'd better tell you in advance."
Bai Song scratched his head, not knowing where to start for a moment.
"Brother, just say what you want to say."
Bai Song has always been outspoken, and it is rare to see him hesitant to speak and in a dilemma.
"That's right... Nanchun... ran away from Baijiazhai without saying a word. There may be other reasons besides the concubine issue." Bai Song said after taking a sip of tea.
"What's the reason?" Bai Xun had a bad feeling.
"Do you know the demon book?" Bai Song asked.
Bai Xun frowned slightly. "Demon book? Is it the book about the underground fairy palace in Xinchuanling?"
"You know?" Bo Song looked at him in surprise.
"When I was in Xinchuanling, I heard Bai Yufeng and the others mention it. They said that there is an underground fairy palace under Xinchuanling that contains countless treasures. A tomb seeker who was very famous in the underworld had been to the fairy palace. He wrote a book before he died. The book contains clues to the fairy palace and a map to the fairy palace." Bai Xun said.
I have been in Xinchuanling for so long, but I can't find anyone or the fairy palace.
At that time, a young man in the team inadvertently complained that if only they had that book, they wouldn't have to put in so much effort and so many people would have been killed or injured.
Bai Xun was puzzled and asked.
"what book?"
Bai Yufeng hurriedly explained, "Oh, it's just some rumors on the street. I don't know if they're true or not. Long, long ago, there was a rumor that beneath Xinchuan Ridge there was an underground palace filled with countless treasures. It was the dream place of all tomb seekers."
There's also a rumor that a renowned tomb-seeker once visited Asgard and wrote a book containing clues and maps to the palace. But another rumor says that anyone who reads this book will have their family destroyed, so everyone calls it a "demon book."
Bai Xun frowned slightly: "We, the Bai family, only look for the Bai family tomb. The rest has nothing to do with us."
"Yes, yes, yes." Bai Yufeng said as he kicked the man. "He just couldn't find Old Man Nan and got anxious, so he spoke without thinking."
The man rubbed his thigh and said with an apologetic smile, "Yes, I was also anxious and confused."
Demonic book?
Bai Xun didn't believe it.
If such a useful book really existed, why didn't the person who leaked the information and the person who printed it follow the clues in the book to find the underground palace? Instead, they publicized it without fear of attracting death...
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
There must be something fishy going on.
"Yes, it's that evil book. Nanchun may have that book in his hand." Bai Song looked at him and said.
Bai Xun's face was serious: "Why do you say that?"
"Have you ever bought books from Zhen Mingzhu's bookstore before? That Zhen Mingzhu had the Demonic Book. He fled from Huicheng to He'an County because of the Demonic Book. Now both the underworld and the lawless are looking for him, and a wanted order has been issued. Now he's gone, and so is the book."
"Boss Zhen?" A sharp look flashed across Bai Xun's eyes.
"Well, does Nanchun have a book called 'Family Letters'?"
Letter home?
Bai Xun's heart skipped a beat.
"That's the legendary demon book!"
Bai Xun tightened his grip on the cup. "Many people buy books from Boss Zhen. All the books Nanchun reads are handled by me, not by him. Besides, the rumored demonic books are real or fake. How did you confirm that the one Nanchun has is the real one?"
Bo Song sighed. "This isn't a simple matter of whether he had anything to do with it, nor is it about the authenticity of the book. He clearly had the book, but when my grandfather questioned him, he refused to acknowledge it and even ran away with the book without a word."
If he had gone directly to Yangcheng to find you, it would have been fine. But he didn't. Instead, he ran to Jincheng and disappeared for a few days.
Bai Xun's face darkened slightly and he remained silent.
"Grandfather is very angry now. Our Bai family will not tolerate traitors. You know this very well. I haven't told grandfather about his coming to Jincheng. If grandfather knew..." Bai Song said meaningfully.
"Nanchun won't do that," Bai Xun said firmly. "He has no interest in exploring tombs, nor is he greedy for money. That book is of no use to him, and it might even bring him trouble."
Bai Song frowned and said, "What if... I mean what if, what if he knows about the underground fairy palace in Xinchuanling? Could it be that he knows and has discovered the secret hidden in the book?"
"It's reasonable for him to know, right? He is Grandpa Nan's grandson. He grew up with him and was influenced by him. He must understand something." Bai Xun defended.
"But why did he keep it secret? He chose to lie and leave without saying goodbye! This shows a lack of trust and betrayal towards the Bai family! He came to Jincheng mid-way, who knows if he was secretly colluding with someone?"
"There must be a reason. The truth will be revealed when we meet him in person. Now the cause is unclear, so brother should not make too many malicious speculations." Bai Xun said lightly.
Malicious speculation???
It's really hard to swallow...
Bo Song's eyes went dark, as if he had been hit by a club.
Love is indeed harmful, making people who are usually smart and rational become like fools who have been poisoned by a poison.
"Okay, okay, I've said this much. If Nanchun can't give a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid my grandfather won't be able to get over it. I've said it all, just keep it in mind." Bai Song shrugged helplessly.
Zhen Mingzhu and the Demonic Book.
Bai Xun recalled the day he took Nanchun to buy books. Boss Zhen had recommended the book "Family Letters" to Nanchun, and he had even gone upstairs to look for it.
Now it seems that he did it on purpose.
Zhen Mingzhu...
Bai Xun had some interactions with him, but didn't find anything wrong with him.
"Brother, you said that both the black and white factions are looking for Boss Zhen?"
"Well, that group of people almost turned He'an County upside down."
"You still haven't found it?" Bai Xun stared at Bai Song without blinking.
Bo Song felt his entire body crawl under his gaze, and nodded quickly, saying, "Well, he got the news from somewhere and ran away before the people who wanted to arrest him arrived."
"Then his legs, feet and brain are still in good working order." Bai Xun said lightly.
He'an County is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only convenient way to get out is that avenue. The other roads are not so easy to get out.
Zhen Mingzhu came from Huicheng two years ago and is not very familiar with the mountain roads.
With no one to protect him, no one to guide him, and no one familiar with the place, neither the black and white forces could catch him.
Bai Xun shook the water in the teacup.
Someone is using Zhen Mingzhu to set a trap for Nanchun.
who can that be?
Is he targeting the underground fairy palace?
Since he couldn't get Grandpa Nan to help him, he turned his attention to his grandson Nanchun? He wanted him to help him find the underground palace?
If this is true, Nanchun is in danger.
Seeing Bai Xun's gloomy face, Bai Song felt nervous.
He finally understood.
Except for being slow in dealing with Nanchun's affairs, my younger brother is very sharp at other times and is not so easy to fool.
