Chapter 4 (5)

Chapter 4(5)()

In the suburbs of Bingzhou, Hate Yingshan Villa.

Henying Villa arrived. The three of them got off the carriage and walked through the archway. Di Renjie carefully observed it and was very dissatisfied with Fan Qixin's strange style. As soon as he entered the village gate, Fan Tai led them directly to the main hall on the hillside. Feng Danqing stood in front of the hall to greet her, and saw her white clothes fluttering, bright eyes and white teeth, just like a fairy who fell into the mortal world.

Seeing Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang, Feng Danqing's charming face turned slightly red, his tone was gentle, and he greeted him gracefully, and then he let them into the main hall. Lu Yanran stayed outside the door with resentment on his face, resentfulness, and refused to go in.

Two rows of chairs were added in front of the huge white jade couch in the back hall. After Feng Danqing asked Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang to sit down, she also sat down on the white jade couch. Seeing Di Renjie carefully looking at the murals behind the hall, she smiled charmingly: "Mr. Di also has experience in painting?"

Di Renjie smiled and replied, "It's impossible to say that his experience is. It's just that Di's teacher Yan Liben is a master of painting. He is close to Zhu and is influenced by his eyes. Therefore, he also loves painting very much. Di loves and admires the murals that his teacher Yan Liben is particularly good at. But I don't know who the huge murals here are made of?"

Feng Danqing said with a slight head and a little shy, "This painting is from the hands of Danqing."

"Oh?" Di Renjie was surprised and said, "How can a lady with such a delicate and delicate body be able to paint such a huge mural?"

Feng Danqing said proudly: "It was Danqing who first made the pattern on the paper, and then copied it to the wall by the painter. Of course, the key lines and colors are still the work of Danqing."

Di Renjie said with deep admiration: "Mrs. Di really admires her. No wonder her name is Danqing, which is truly worthy of her name."

He looked around and said, "Is the structure and layout of this temple also designed by the lady?"

Feng Danqing said: "That's not. Danqing only came to the villa three years ago. According to his husband, these temples were built more than ten years ago and have gradually reached their current scale."

Di Renjie said: "It's just that Di sees the structure and design of this palace very differently, and it seems that there are some foreign patterns inside?"

Feng Danqing replied: "Mr. Di said very well. Danqing is quite suspicious of this. According to his husband, he happened to meet several merchants from the Great Food Country more than ten years ago. He had some interactions and had a good impression of the Great Food customs and culture. Therefore, when building this villa, he also asked those Great Food people to give some advice. I am afraid that this is why the villa has become what it is today."

"So that's the case, it's very interesting."

Feng Danqing said: "Since Mr. Di is interested, Danqing might as well accompany the two gentlemen to have a brief trip in the villa. What does Mr. Di think?"

Di Renjie laughed: "There is the most joyful thing, the most joyful thing."

Feng Danqing led Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang to walk up and down the villa, and saw the hot springs flowing, the pavilions and halls standing sparsely, and the plants and trees were not as withered as elsewhere in late autumn. Instead, they were lush and lush with branches and leaves. Di Renjie couldn't help but ask: "Madam, where does the hot springs come from here?

"Mr. Di doesn't know that the place where this villa is located is above the hot springs, with springs everywhere, and the ground of the entire villa is warm. Therefore, the plants and trees here grow better than elsewhere, and they do not wither even in winter. My husband first built the villa here at the beginning, and did not know that there were hot springs below. It was because the plants and trees here grew strangely and were undefeated all year round that they recalled the underground heat sources and finally discovered these hot springs."

"So that's it." Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and they all remembered the hot springs they saw on the road, the caves under the springs and the strange Taoist temple.

After walking a few more steps forward and reaching the highest point of the villa, Di Renjie suddenly found a large area of ​​bright red flowers in front of him. In this late autumn where everything withered and gray colors, it looked so weird. He pointed to the red flowers and asked Feng Danqing: "Madam, what kind of flower is this?"

"Mr. Di, this is a strange flower from a foreign land cultivated by my husband himself. It must have a certain temperature to grow, so it is planted around the spring of this hot spring. As for the name of this flower, Danqing doesn't know."

Di Renjie nodded, and the three of them were slowly returning to the main hall of the villa. Feng Danqing suddenly stopped and turned to Di Renjie's eyes, bowed down, tears flashed in his eyes, and he said in a coquettish way: "Mr. Di, Lord Di, please give Danqing a cleansing."

Di Renjie quickly reached out to help, and said with a stack of voices: "Madam Feng, where do you start?"

Feng Danqing stood up straight with a trembling body and said with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Di, you must have heard that someone had reported that his husband was murdered, and the government had to break into the villa to check his husband's body."

Di Renjie said: "I heard of it. Di was also about to ask his wife about the so-called transformation into an immortal."

Feng Danqing coughed gently and said, "Danqing is ashamed. I think Mr. Di must also think that the statement of turning into an immortal is very far-fetched, and Danqing also knows it. It was just that Danqing was given the instructions of his ancestors and must not let the government get involved in this matter, so he made up such unreasonable remarks."

"Oh, then it's not like the one who turns into an immortal?"

"No."

"Then...the death of Brother Qixin?"

Feng Danqing bowed again with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Di, my husband was indeed killed!"

Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang were startled and exchanged glances with each other.

Di Renjie helped Feng Danqing up again and said, "I'd like to ask my wife to explain the reason in detail."

Feng Danqing gently wiped away the tears from his face and said, "Mr. Di, my husband has been practicing Taoism and qi cultivation for the past or two years. Every day, he was meditating on the white jade couch in the main hall, and breathing natural energy in the Shibu Pavilion on the hillside. The three meals he used were all delivered to him by Danqing. At noon five days ago, Danqing went to Shibu Pavilion to deliver lunch to his husband, but he saw him lying on the jade chessboard in the pavilion, his face and body were covered with blood, and he was already dying. Danqing was panicked and was about to call someone, but he heard his husband murmuring: 'Don't call the government, wait for Di Huaiying...' and then he died." At this point, Feng Danqing burst into tears and cried in tears.

Di Renjie's face was as deep as water, comforting Feng Danqing, "Please bear the sadness for a while, I wonder how the lady will deal with it later?"

"I saw that my husband died there, and he was already dizzy and weak, and he was almost fainting. Fortunately, the villa manager Fan Tai arrived and helped me transport the husband's body to the small house next to the pavilion, and it is still kept there. Danqing was mourning while thinking about contacting Mr. Di. Who would have thought that the government would not know how to get the news and would break into the villa. Danqing thought of the husband's last words, although he did not know the profound meaning, he would never dare to disobey it. He came up with a statement that he would become an immortal, and finally stopped the government's intervention."

"So that's it. Madam, did you know Di Huaiying's name at that time?"

"Of course, Danqing once heard Mr. Di mention Mr. Di. Besides, Mr. Di's third son Jinghui is the adopted son of his husband. He has always dated his husband and his female disciple Lu Yanran, and is one of the only regular guests of Heiying Villa. Danqing naturally knows who Di Huaiying is referring to."

Di Renjie suddenly heard Di Jinghui's name and rubbed his steps slightly. Li Yuanfang beside him quickly gently helped his arm.

Di Renjie calmed down and asked, "Madam, I wonder if Di can go and see Brother Shixin's body?"

"Of course, Mr. Di, please."
