Part Two: Rebirth by Possession, Chapter Twenty-One: Although there were no lights in the garden of Taiyi Sect, there was a crescent moon in the sky and countless stars, which could still be used to find one's way by the faint light.
With a sense of disappointment, I arrived at the place where the sect's secret manual had been buried that day, intending to retrieve it before leaving the mansion.
I remember that day, after leaping off the garden wall, I disappeared into the ground. So I submerged myself near the north garden wall and began searching. Although the few percent of my internal energy couldn't travel long distances, it was enough to search within a small area.
After the scriptures were accidentally wetted in Wang Ji's residence, I found a piece of oilcloth in Zongyang Palace and carefully wrapped the parchment scroll and booklet. So not only would the scriptures hidden underground get wet from the rain, but I was also afraid that my current power was not enough to stay underground for long, and it would be more difficult to find them.
After searching for half an hour within a radius of about ten feet, my palm finally touched the oilcloth bag. I was overjoyed, took the manual, and leaped off the ground.
Just as I was about to pass through the garden gate, I saw a person on the opposite rooftop, leaning to one side and gliding towards us. The person's body was floating, as if carried by the wind, and they drifted over without touching the ground. In the dim light, they looked like a ghost walking in the night.
Startled, I quickly retreated back into the garden, hiding behind a pile of rubble against the garden wall, with most of my body buried in the soil and only my head sticking out.
The person floated into the garden from slightly above my head, landing about ten feet away. A faint, exotic fragrance wafted on the breeze as they passed. I thought to myself, "Night travelers usually try to conceal their scent, but this person has no such scruples; they are truly incredibly bold!"
I couldn't help but look at the newcomer. She was dressed in black, her body shapely and curvaceous; she was undoubtedly a young woman. I thought to myself, "No wonder!"
However, even women usually use drugs to suppress their body odor when traveling at night; this is basic knowledge I learned from my third sister-in-law's stories alone. Unless this person isn't afraid of being discovered.
The woman looked around and retreated into the shadow of a tree. As I was wondering what her purpose was, I saw a figure appear from the west side of the garden, slowly walking towards us.
As I got closer, my heart pounded: "It really was him!"
It was Butler Qi! He approached, hesitatingly looking around, when the woman under the tree called out, "Fatty Qi!"
Hearing the sound, Butler Qi approached the shadowy tree and bowed, asking, "Is that Junior Sister Lian?"
A hand emerged from the shadows of the trees, flashing a talisman. Butler Qi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Congratulations, Junior Sister Lian, on your promotion to Sect Protector!"
The woman said, "Fatty Qi, you've been having a good time at the Jia mansion, haven't you? You've forgotten all the tasks assigned to you, haven't you?" Although her tone was teasing, the condescending questioning was still quite obvious. Judging from her voice, she wasn't exactly young.
Steward Qi trembled and said, "Qi Fan has been entrusted with a great responsibility by our sect, and while hiding in the Jia mansion, he has never dared to forget the sect's important affairs!"
It turns out that Steward Qi and that woman were from the same school, and he was sent to infiltrate the Jia family! But what were his plans? Was the eldest young master's poisoning and death related to this? I became preoccupied and unconsciously began to observe intently.
The woman snorted coldly from the shadows, saying, "Is that so? Three years ago, our sect went to great lengths to get you into the Jia family and make you the head steward. Every time the sect leader sends someone to inquire, you've made no progress. I think you're enjoying a life of luxury at the Jia family mansion, so happy you've forgotten all about our sect!"
Steward Qi chuckled dryly and said, "Protector Lian, you flatter me. Qi Fan is utterly loyal, as clear as day!" Judging from his tone, it seemed that although Steward Qi's position was lower than that of Protector Lian, he was not particularly afraid of her.
The woman called "Protector Lian" said coldly, "Heh heh, Fatty Qi, don't think I don't know what you've been doing just because you're hiding in the Jia family mansion. Hmph, let me ask you, what exactly is the illness that the eldest son of the Jia family has?"
Upon hearing this, Butler Qi was startled, his hunched back stiffened noticeably, and he remained speechless for a long time.
I was puzzled. What did Steward Qi's poisoning of the eldest young master have to do with Protector Lian? Why did she come here to question him so fiercely?
Even the Dharma Protector exclaimed, "What? You've lost your voice?!"
Steward Qi's dry voice said, "I dare not hide anything from the Protector. He... he has taken... used our sect's medicine."
Protector Lian coldly said, "It's 'Longing for You,' isn't it? Hmph! You dare to use our sect's sacred medicine privately, you've got some nerve!"
I thought to myself, "Longing for Love"? What kind of poison is that? It's really quite wicked; the entanglement of its poisonous effects truly lives up to its name, "Longing for Love"!
Steward Qi stammered, "It was...it was Madam Jia who ordered me to do it. I live in the Jia family, and there are some things I have no choice but to do." Having been caught red-handed, his voice immediately lowered, and he started referring to himself as "your subordinate."
Lian, the Protector, chuckled, clearly furious, and said, "What a fine excuse! Fatty Qi, you're just trying to fool a child. Oh, Madam Jia ordered you to poison the eldest young master, and you, as the steward, obediently carried it out? If you two hadn't conspired, would Madam Jia have dared to make such a request? Aren't you afraid the rest of the Jia family will find out?"
Steward Qi stammered, "This..." seemingly finding his explanation unconvincing. His legs trembled uncontrollably, and he knelt down with a thud, saying, "I was foolish; I beg the Protector for mercy!"
The Protector chuckled coldly, "Although you are my master's prized disciple, you have violated the sect rules and harbor treacherous intentions. As the protector of this sect, I can still take your life! This sect ordered you to infiltrate the Jia mansion to find out the whereabouts of the Tribulation Stone. You should have been cautious and concealed your identity, but instead, you had an affair with Madam Jia and then used the sect's sacred medicine. You have no regard for the sect's important affairs. What use are you? To prevent you from ruining the great plan!" His voice grew more and more stern, and finally, a chilling killing intent was faintly revealed.
Steward Qi kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "It's true that I've acted haphazardly, but I've been doing my best to find out about the Tribulation Stone. I hope the Protector will investigate!"
Even the protector remained silent for a long time. I couldn't help but think to myself, "Kill him! Kill him!" Then I was startled: cultivators are supposed to guard their minds, so why did I suddenly have murderous thoughts? Besides, I have no deep hatred for Steward Qi, so why am I so agitated? Could it be that after losing so much power, my composure has also weakened considerably?
After a long pause, Protector Lian slowly said, "Fatty Qi, do you remember how your martial arts were crippled three years ago?"
Steward Qi said, "I was audacious enough to steal the yin essence of my fellow disciple, and therefore... therefore I was punished. Thanks to my master's intercession, the sect leader only crippled my cultivation, sparing my life, and ordering me to enter the Jia mansion to find the Tribulation-Crossing Stone, hoping to atone for my crime through meritorious service!"
Protector Lian said, "It's good that you know. Things can only happen once, not twice. This time, I'm afraid even your senior uncle can't save you. I'm asking you, and you must answer honestly. Don't try anything funny again!"
Steward Qi replied, "Yes! Yes! I have often offended the Protector in the past, I hope the Protector will not hold my past transgressions against me!"
The protector chuckled, her tone immediately softening: "Get up and speak. If you do your job diligently, how could I blame you? Our sect is hoping you can achieve great merit and find the Tribulation Stone!" She had been hiding under the shadows of the trees, so I couldn't see her expression. However, strangely, her voice had a unique quality that made me involuntarily imagine her speaking with a cold, angry expression, hesitant contemplation, or triumphant laughter—vividly as if she were right in front of me.
Steward Qi slowly stood up and said, "Thank you for your mercy, Protector!" while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
Protector Lian asked, "Why is Junior Sister Wang nowhere to be found today?"
Steward Qi said, "Reporting to the Protector, since Madam Hu, the matriarch of the Jia family, was once the wife of that stonemason Zhang, the Tribulation Stone is most likely hidden in her room. When Junior Sister Wang first entered the Jia family, I arranged for her to serve in Madam Hu's room so that we could search for the Tribulation Stone. Who knew... who knew that Jia Sidao was lewd and lustful. Seeing that Junior Sister Wang was quite beautiful, he took her as his concubine last month, and now he has taken her to his post in Jiangzhou!" He couldn't hide his resentment in his words.
Lian, the protector, chuckled repeatedly: "Junior Sister Wang is skilled in bedroom arts. Jia Sidao probably didn't just want her looks, did he? Hehe, Junior Sister Wang being assigned to your side is like a lamb to the slaughter. She's probably already having an affair with you. No wonder you're resentful about having your 'wife' stolen and have gotten involved with Madam Jia."
Steward Qi exclaimed, "I deserve to die! So... so the Protector knew everything!"
Lian, the Dharma Protector, said calmly, "I know everything I need to know. Hmm, why did Madam Jia want to kill the eldest son of the Jia family?"
A thought struck me: "Hmm, even Protector Lian is testing Steward Qi! To see if he still has something to hide from her."
After listening for a while, I roughly guessed that: Steward Qi was probably not very obedient in the past, and now that the Protector has come, he first went to find out the current situation of the Jia family so as not to be fooled by Steward Qi. However, he found that his fellow disciple, Junior Sister Wang, had suddenly disappeared, so he suspected that Steward Qi had ulterior motives. He accidentally witnessed Steward Qi's affair with Madam Jia, and after seeing the eldest son's illness, he guessed that Steward Qi might have used the sect's medicine on his own, so he used this as leverage to subdue Steward Qi.
Furthermore, the person who secretly watched me expel the poison from my body that day was incredibly agile and disappeared in an instant. Who else in the Jia household could it be but this Protector Lian standing before me?
Butler Qi said, "Well... the eldest son is not Madam Jia's son..."
Even the Protector coldly interrupted, "I know that."
Steward Qi continued, "...This matter is a long story, mainly involving the Jia family's debate over whether to establish the eldest son or the legitimate heir."
Lian Hufa said, "Jia Sidao is only in his thirties. Isn't it a bit too early to discuss whether the Jia family should establish the eldest son or the legitimate heir?"
Steward Qi blurted out, "Protector, you may not know this..." He suddenly realized his mistake and quickly stopped talking.
The Dharma Protector chuckled, "Go on!"
Steward Qi said, "Yes! Although Jia Sidao is just over thirty, he is the emperor's brother-in-law. His sister, Consort Jia, is currently the emperor's favorite, and thus, at a young age, she has already risen to the fourth rank. According to the Song Dynasty's official system, her son can receive hereditary privileges. Within a year, the imperial decree for these privileges will be issued. Originally, the second son, being the legitimate son, should rightfully receive the honor, but he is unruly and has never been favored by Jia Sidao and Madam Hu. The eldest son, on the other hand, is quite talented. Although his temperament is somewhat eccentric, he is well-liked by Jia Sidao and Madam Hu. That's fine, but there's more to it. The eldest son is proficient in poetry, calligraphy, music, and painting, and is deeply favored by Consort Jia. He frequently enters and leaves the palace and even receives praise from the emperor. Therefore, it is highly likely that the privilege will fall to the eldest son..."
Upon hearing that the eldest young master was "deeply favored by Consort Jia and frequently entered and exited the palace," a thought suddenly struck me. Wasn't my senior sister currently trapped in the palace? My heart pounded wildly, and several ideas raced through my mind.
Lian, the Dharma Protector, said, "As a young master of the Jia family, how could he not live a life of luxury? For a mere favor..."
Steward Qi said, "In families like these, there is always open and covert infighting, with power struggles and backstabbing constantly escalating. It's always a case of one side prevailing over the other. Madam Jia is proud and arrogant, and she has always been at odds with the eldest son's mother, the Third Madam. She also looks down on the Third Madam's background. How could she possibly be willing to submit to the Third Madam in the future? That would be worse than killing her! Moreover, once the favor falls on one person, the other will be suppressed for life. Even though they live together, they will have to be mindful of the other's feelings and act accordingly for the rest of their lives..."
Even the Dharma Protector gave a soft "hmm". After they finished speaking, one outside the shadow of the tree and the other under the shadow of the tree, they suddenly fell silent and did not speak for a long time.
Steward Qi coughed and said, "It's just strange that the eldest young master has already taken our sect's medicine, yet..."
His eyes were fixed on the shadows of the trees. Perhaps, seeing that Protector Lian knew the truth from the beginning, he probably thought it was she who had sabotaged things and was working against him.
Suddenly, Protector Lian raised his voice and said coldly, "This is your transgression of using our sect's sacred medicine without authorization! Since the Jia family is connected to the palace, there are bound to be highly skilled physicians among the imperial physicians. If this is discovered, you will not only die a horrible death, but you will also ruin our sect's important affairs!"
Steward Qi, not expecting to be questioned again, hurriedly said, "Yes! Your subordinate knows his crime! It's just that the eldest young master has been poisoned for a long time, and the imperial physicians have come more than once, but they have never...never been able to find any flaws."
The Protector sneered, "Of course! How could the sacred medicine of our Taiyi Sect be ordinary? Once 'Chang Xiang Si' enters the body, its medicinal properties are mild and subdued. I doubt those imperial physicians could detect it. However, we must be careful in all things, just in case. We must not ruin our sect's grand plan because of some unrelated matter. Hmph... most likely those imperial physicians used some precious medicines to temporarily suppress the poison in the young master's body. Hehe! 'Chang Xiang Si,' 'Chang Xiang Si,' it is named after longing, how can it suppress? The more it is suppressed, the stronger its medicinal properties become, and he will only die faster!" Her words revealed a strong confidence. I was suddenly shocked when I heard this, thinking, "Taiyi Sect! Taiyi Sect! The poison in my body is indeed from the Taiyi Sect! The 'Chang Xiang Si' poison was suppressed by my true qi. As she said, could it be...?" I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
I had heard before that in the world today, when it comes to administering medicine and poison, the Dan Ding School and Tai Yi School of Taoism are the best, even surpassing the renowned Tang Clan of Sichuan in the secular martial arts world. The poisons of these two schools, if not for their own antidote, can only be described in two words—unsolvable!
