My Waste Husband -
Chapter 752
Chapter 752
After Henry came to the castle, the first thing he did was to go to the place where Wilbur stayed.
Wilbur had been recovering in the castle since he woke up.
There were two strange scrolls in Henry's hand. One of them was taken out from behind the bronze door the day before yesterday, and the other one was given to Henry by Lila Zhu.
Henry had no clue at all what these two scrolls represented.
There were many rooms in the castle.
Lila was standing outside one room. She also heard the news of Henry's return, but she did not go out to celebrate. She waited there patiently.
"Little girl, what are you looking at?" Henry walked behind Lila and patted her on the shoulder.
The little girl was shocked and suddenly turned back, only to find that Henry was already standing behind her. She did not realize when Henry arrived.
Lila was stunned for a few seconds when she saw Henry. Then she shouted and threw herself into Henry's arms, tears streaming down her face.
The sound of Lila sobbing came from Henry's chest.
"Henry... Henry, I'm so happy. You... you're alive."
During the period when Henry disappeared, Lila was blaming herself every day. If it weren't for her family's affair, Henry wouldn't have had any conflict with the Zhu clan. If something really happened to Henry, Lila would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
"Well, what can happen to me? Don't forget, I am the Emperor of Hell." Henry rubbed Lila's little head.
Behind Henry, there was a "creak" sound.
A door was pushed open. Wilbur walked out with a cane. His face was still a little pale. After all, Wilbur was old and had not reached the stage of refining the Qi. He had suffered such torment. Even if he did not die, he was seriously injured.
"Now that I know you're all right, I can rest assured." Wilbur looked at Henry and said.
Henry looked back and said with a smile, "You old man haven't died yet. How can I die before you? It seems that your situation is not very good. You are using a cane."
"I've lost the essence of my energy. I'm afraid that I won't be able to stand straight in the future." Wilbur sighed and said, "Come, I know that you have a lot of questions to ask. Lila, don't disturb your brother Henry."
"Okay." Lila raised her head from Henry's arms and wiped her tears. "Brother Henry, it's good that you are all right. Let's have a drink tonight."
"Okay." Henry nodded. "As long as your grandfather is okay."
"Hum, he won't be worried when you are on this island." Lila smiled. "Brother Henry, you go with my grandfather to do your business first. I will leave."
After Lila finished her words, she swung her ponytail and hopped away.
"This girl." Wilbur helplessly looked at Lila and shook his head. He turned around and walked into the room. Henry followed in and closed the door.
The room was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine. On the stove next to the room, there was a pot filled with boiling medicine.
Henry sniffed and said out the herbs in the pot, "Ginseng, astralagus, white atractylodes rhizome, and a small amount of liquorice. It seems that you haven't recovered very well."
"I am old now." Wilbur bitterly smiled and said, "This person has no choice but to admit that he is old. If I suffered these injuries forty years ago, I would recover overnight."
The two of them sat in front of a table. There was already a cup of tea on it.
As soon as Henry sat down and did not speak, Wilbur said first, "I know what you want to ask. It's about that book, right?"
"Yes." Henry put the book, which was covered with dark blue covers, to the table. "What is this? How can it affect my Qi? You told Lila this is a key that can make the clan crazy?"
"Yes." Wilbur nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip. "But I was not the one who used the word "key" first."
"Who was that?" Henry asked curiously.
Wilbur stared at Henry's eyes and said word by word, "Master! Lu!"
"Master Lu!" Henry was shocked.
"Yes." Wilbur nodded. "Before Master Lu went into seclusion, he had returned the ancestral weapon to the three families from the capital. And our Zhu family was located in Du Hai, so it was not qualified to take the ancestral weapon. So Master Lu gave me a drawing. He told me that when we see something beyond our expectation, we could go to find this item and it would keep us safe for a while."
Henry stared at the blue book on the table. He never expected that it was left by old man Lu.
Justus Lu had always given Henry a very mysterious feeling. Even as Justus's only successor, Henry did not know Justus' background. Henry had asked Aaron about Justus' identity before, but Aaron did not know it either. Aaron was Justus' disciple only on the paper. It was because of Aaron's father that Justus made an exception and accepted Aaron as his disciple.
Henry had learned some skills from Justus for a period of time, but he had never heard anything about Qi. At that time, Justus told Henry to never let the lotus flower drop. Henry only understood what it meant recently. Even Henry, only a couple of days ago, realized that there were so many Spiritual Stones and Qi- refining methods behind the bronze door.
Wilbur said, "This book is a key to open a specific place. But Master Lu did not say clearly where this place was, so you have to find it yourself."
Henry nodded and put away the book. He asked, "Why do the clans want this thing?"
"The door could be opened by using this key. The things inside can destroy the clans..."
The sky gradually darkened.
On Radiant Island, several bonfires were raised. The people on the island were surrounding the bonfires, singing and dancing. On the bonfire, there was a roasted lamb which was covered with golden oil. When the oil drops landed on the flames, sizzling sounds could be heard.
Almost everyone was holding a bottle of wine in their hands, including some eight-year-old children. The adults made an exception and let them drink.
During the month when Henry disappeared, for people on the island, it seemed that the sky was dark every day. When Henry came back, the sky got brighter immediately.
The island was filled with laughter. Those who lived on Radiant Island had long treated this place as their last home. When Henry disappeared, everyone had chosen to relocate together with the island.
This sort of relocation didn't just mean that Radiant Island was floating on the sea. But also, when Radiant Island encountered a crisis, everyone would come together to resist this crisis.
Many people believed that Radiant Island was where the Emperor of Hell lived and that it was a place where many people were killed, but no one would be punished by the law. Only the people on the island knew that it was the real paradise. There was no law here because everyone here was a big happy family.
