Chapter 247

The mountain was misty, and for a moment it began to rain lightly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past, Cui Ning loved to cook tea and enjoy the rain in the grass hall with her second senior brother in such weather, leisurely and comfortable, but now she only feels full of gloom.

The gate is still standing, but further up there are only ruins of the walls, and the traces of the fire on the walls are still visible. The wild grass in the yard is waist-deep, and it is no longer visible to the face of the past.

Cui Ningmu stood in the front yard, and Wei Qian silently held up an umbrella for her.

He lowered his eyes, and when he saw the corners of her mouth twitching as if she wanted to say something but couldn't open her mouth, he couldn't help but reach out and take her into his arms.

Wei Qian's body temperature slowly passed through her clothes, warming her body like falling into an ice cellar.

At this time, any language seemed too light, and he couldn't think of a single word to comfort her.

"Big brother. Xu is warm embrace gave Cui Ning courage, and she said in a hoarse voice, "The senior brothers fell down one by one in this courtyard, and the second senior brother took me out of the encirclement, sent me into the secret passage from the study building, and then set me on fire...... burned the book building and ...... and himself. ”

After Dao Yan and Cui Ning met, they deliberately avoided talking about the details of that day, even if they talked about it, they were all lightly brought over, that night was a wound they didn't dare to touch, but today they returned to their hometown to find out the truth, and those things that they didn't want to say and remember were to be faced after all.

The mountain rain became heavier and heavier, and after a while, it covered the sky and the earth, and became a dense rain curtain.

Cui Ning slowly walked up the mountain road and took Wei Qian to the study building. The entire Taoist temple has the most serious traces of burning here, if it weren't for the fact that half of the study building is a mountain, I'm afraid that there is not even a few pieces of wreckage to be found now.

"Senior brother, can the second senior brother escape?" Cui Ning looked at Dao Yan, "If the senior brother is trapped here by the fire, can he escape?"

Cui Ning wishfully believes that they have high martial arts skills and should have a chance to escape.

Dao Yan was silent.

In the sea of fire, there are pursuers in front of you, and there is no way back, I'm afraid you have to put on your wings to get out!

Cui Ning stretched out his hand and pushed the wall, as if there was no secret passage, and the mechanism that opened the stone door had gone, "You say, why doesn't the second senior brother go with me?"

Wei Qian stood at the entrance and looked around, put away the umbrella, leaned against the wall, and then looked carefully along the wall. The wall on the right-hand side was pitch black, and there were many remnants of wooden supports, which were apparently the hottest fire at the time, and should have been the place where the bookshelves were originally placed.

The remains of the bookshelf shattered as soon as they were touched, and after falling off, the mottled stone wall was revealed, and Cui Ning looked over and found the hilt of the sword on the wall!

Wei Qian took out a handkerchief and wrapped it around the hilt of the sword, and pulled it hard, and the sword seemed to grow in a stone, not moving at all.

"This is supposed to be a secret passage mechanism. Wei Qian tried it and found that there was something stuck in the wall.

Daoming didn't go with Cui Ning, it may be that he was trying to block the pursuers and destroy the secret passage mechanism. But there are still a lot of doubts about this matter, such as was he just setting the fire to stop the pursuers? Also, all this seems to have happened suddenly, Cui Ning was left alone in the secret passage, how did he know that the Cui family was coming and could find her?

Wei Qian remembered that she had heard Cui Ning mention it before, and Cui Xuanbi told her that the Taoist temple had come to the news in advance for the Cui family to pick her up, and gave her a secret road map.

But when he went up the mountain, Dao Yan said that in the letter left by the master, he specifically instructed Daoming to raise Cui Ning, which means that he didn't seem to know that someone had delivered the letter to Cui's house in advance.

Who is this messenger?

Judging from the current situation, it is most likely Daoming, because he put Cui Ning into the secret passage. Of course, it was possible that someone had warned him to do so, but now that he had been wiped out in the fire, he could no longer tell them the truth.

Wei Qian glanced at Cui Ning, who was crying, and didn't say anything about this guess, but just turned around and asked Yan, "What was the identity of the second senior brother before he entered the Taoist Temple?"

Dao Yan said, "I heard the master say that he is a bandit who occupies the mountain as the king. When the master traveled all over the world, he had built a shed at the foot of his mountain, and lived for half a year, and the two became familiar with each other. ”

Wei Qian asked again, "What about before being a bandit?"

Dao Yan shook his head, "I don't know about this, the master didn't mention it." ”

Everyone in the Taoist temple has a past, and everyone's past is not what it is now.

Dao Yan has a big temper and is easy to be irritable, like an angry-eyed King Kong, but in fact, the real viciousness is the unruly and dusty Daoming, who has seen Daoming said that he is free and uninhibited, and he must have been a gentleman from a big family before he became a Taoist, but the real gentleman is the Daoqing who is full of rules and chatter.

They forget the past, all because they are sad and break their thoughts, on weekdays, everyone never asks about each other's past, and Dao Yan can only know a rough idea.

"I thought that the master was kidnapped, which should be related to his former identity, so I guessed that it was done by some ambitious person in Chang'an, but after squatting for several years, I didn't get anything, I really can't figure it out. Dao Yan's eyes showed a look of pain, he was not a very smart person, all these years in Chang'an like a fly to check around, so that the anger and pain accumulated in his heart more and more, every time he had to go to the deep mountains to fight with the beast exhausted, a little catharsis, back to Chang'an and then secretly take a look at the little sister, so that he persevered until now.
