CHAPTER XXII. Maderon's burial in the Qingfeng Cemetery

Weng Bo has one of the sayings: there is an ancient saying: "The Son of Heaven has a minister, although there is no way, he will not lose his world; The Father has a son, though he has no way, he does not fall into unrighteousness; Therefore, Yunzi must not blame his father, and his ministers must not blame him. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" and then often said: "The family has a strong son and is not defeated, and the state has a minister who does not die in the country; The family has a righteous son who will not die in his family, and the family has a filial son who will never stop worshipping. "At a time when the world is in turmoil, the filial son is not as good as the filial daughter, what is the filial daughter, such as Sima Xiang. Therefore, Sima Ren said that he was guilty, but he could still enjoy his life without dying, which could not be said to be the work of a filial daughter.

Weng Bo has a saying: The ancients had a cloud: "You are in it, but you don't know it." Therefore, the book said: "The authorities are confused, and they will be judged by watching and seeing." "How to learn from me, Zhang Shunzi is also. Zhang Shunzi doesn't know about Meicheng, Chai Rong doesn't understand, I know what to do; The bloody case of the dart game, I am confused, Di Rong can't understand it, Zhang Shunzi reasoned with it. Therefore, all things evolve, and the only one does not solve it, but the many people solve it. Everyone is of the same heart, and its profits are gold, which is true.

Let's say He Shi, when I looked back at the voice, I was stabbing a sword into his heart, and hurriedly dodged sideways. Before he could stand firm, the man said, "Who are you, why are you here late at night, did you kill my uncle?" "I asked three times in a row, and before I could answer, the man stabbed him with a sword. He Shi and I had to fight, because there were no weapons, with bare hands, and it was dark, most of them were dodging and retreating. Standing for about 50 rounds, I have never been injured. The man felt that Master He and I had a lot of concessions, and I couldn't take much advantage, so he stopped and asked, "Who are you?" ”

I didn't answer Master He, I only knew that he used Wudang swordsmanship, so I asked rhetorically: "Who are you, what is your relationship with Wudang, why do you say that I killed your uncle, is there any evidence?" ”

"I am Wudang Fudanzi, and Ma Qingfeng in front of you is my uncle."

"What is your relationship with Xu Qingen?"

"He is my master's uncle, and the master knows about the old city, and sent me down the mountain to visit the master's uncle. On the way, I learned that my uncle had been killed, so I asked my master to come to Anzhou, and I met you. ”

"How many people are in your group?"

"My master Yue Boyun, senior brother Nian Huazi and Yan Hezi, junior brother Tong Renzi and the fifth son and others."

"What about your master?"

"My faction and Shaolin are close to each other, and I heard about the bloody case of the Dama Dart Bureau on the road, and many martial arts people have gone to Shaolin, so Master and they naturally want to help. You haven't said who you are. ”

He Shi I thought to myself: How can Wudang rest assured that this Fu Danzi came to Anzhou alone, it's really funny. However, seeing his honest appearance, he didn't show it, and said, "What a coincidence in the old city." ”

Fu Danzi clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "It turned out to be the old city doctor and the miracle doctor, and I have offended a lot, please forgive me." ”

He Shi thought to himself: Boy, how can you be sure that I am a doctor and a miracle doctor, I am really young. He Shi and I immediately returned the salute and said: "I was entrusted by my eldest brother to come to Anzhou to investigate the bloody case of the Dama Dart Bureau. It was rude to want to open Ma Qingfeng's coffin without your consent before. At this time, Fu Danzi did not add evil words, He Shi and I led him to see the body of the dart master just now, and gave him a lamp, pointed to the neck bone of the deceased, and asked him what kind of kung fu caused him. Fu Danzi said: "Looking at the palm print, it is very similar to our Wudang's Mianzhang Gong, but it is too dark to be very sure." ”

Master He, I asked, "Apart from you and your master's group, who else has come down the mountain recently?" ”

"Nope."

Master He, I saw that Fu Danzi's tone was very affirmative, and he already had an answer in his heart, and asked, "Then we can open your uncle's tomb now, right?" ”

Fu Danzi also wanted to know who killed his uncle, so he naturally nodded. After opening the coffin, He Shiwei found that Ma Qingfeng's wound was almost the same as Ma Delong's, except that Ma Qingfeng's wound extended to the left side. It didn't take long for the coffin to close.

"Oh, by the way, do you know Ma Baizhong?" He Shi asked with a change of words in my heart.

"He is my uncle's only apprentice, so he naturally recognizes him."

"Okay, I'll take you to him." As soon as the words fell, the two of them headed towards an inn at the Zhuanshui Wharf. As soon as they entered Ma Baizhong's room, under the kerosene lamp, the two saw Liu San falling asleep on the table, still holding a wooden stick. He Shi and I smiled strangely, and quietly walked to Liu San's side. Just as he was about to shout in his ear, Liu San suddenly woke up like a dream, lifted the wooden stick, and slapped it indiscriminately. He Shi, I not only hurt terribly, but also frightened a lot.

After his mood stabilized, Liu San saw that it was Master He and I who came, so he hurriedly put down the wooden stick, knelt down to bow and salute, and said, "Doctor He, you are finally here, Brother Ma is still asleep, is your prescription not working?" Please, save Big Brother Ma! ”

"No, I should wake up at dawn the next day at the latest! Did you not follow the prescription? He Shi said while helping Liu San up.

"The villain did it one by one, without a little negligence!" Liu San said confidently.

He Shi knew that Ma Baizhong was Liu San's benefactor, and he should take care of him, so he walked to the bedside and gave Ma Baizhong a pulse, and found that his pulse was weak, not only did it not improve, but it seemed to be weaker than the day he was rescued. He Shi I took the medicine bowl on the table, looked at it, didn't see anything unusual, felt a little strange, and reopened the prescription, let Liu San continue to take care of Ma Baizhong, and let Fu Danzi keep an eye on it.

After the instructions were properly ordered, Master He and I left an inn and went to the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion. Instead of taking the usual path, Master He and I chose a two-point straight path between an inn and the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion, in order to get to the mansion as soon as possible, so as not to worry or suspect everyone. Halfway down the road, a man in black was already waiting for him on the rooftop.

Seeing that the man in black was deliberately embarrassed, He Shi and I increased our internal strength and went straight to the throat of the man in black. The man in black smiled slightly, he didn't care, and with a little internal force, he blocked He Shi and me. Master He and I wanted to escape with the strength of the man in black, but the man in black used the eagle claw skill, grabbed He Shi's foot with his left hand, and dragged him back. He Shi knew that this man in black was not an ordinary person, so he had to respond to the battle, and used the kung fu of "Golden Sage" to directly take the middle point of the man in black. The man in black turned his left hand into a palm, pressed it against his chest, and locked his left shoulder with his right hand. He Shi and I couldn't block it with my left hand, so I retracted my right hand and pointed to the Neiguan acupoint in the right hand of the man in black. The man in black's right hand slid down from He Shi's left arm, broke free, and kicked He Shime in the chest again. He Shi and I have a block with my left hand, and the person has bounced up a few times to grow taller. The man in black took advantage of the momentum and rose into the air, and rushed towards the crotch of He Shi me with a move of his eagle claws. He Shi, I was not in a hurry, with my hands out of my palms, my body "standing" straight, and my feet were fighting against the eagle claws of the man in black. After a few rounds, the overall center of gravity of the two gradually shifted downward, and He Shi and I took advantage of the situation to step on the hand of the man in black. The man in black fell back to the roof, and after He Shiyi and I stood firmly, he took the lead in making a move, locking his throat with his eagle claws, and arrowed forward. He Shi and I stretched out my middle finger and index finger with both hands, and used the Haotian sword technique, breaking the eagle's claw with one hand and poking at the big bag of the man in black with the other. The man in black kicked his feet, moved his body back, and returned his hands to defend. He Shi and I cooperated with the footwork and took advantage of the situation to attack. The man in black didn't pay attention, he was at a disadvantage, he retreated again and again, and after being forced to the corner of the roof, he added his internal strength and rushed to He Shi's chest with one palm. He Shi knew that the man in black hadn't used all his strength before, so he naturally didn't want to lose both, so he retracted his hands and put them on his chest, but he was ejected far away.

When He Shi and I stood firm again, the man in black did not attack again, and the two confronted each other for a while. I heard the husband on the street knock the gong three times, and it was already the third watch. The man in black clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "It is really rare to learn the Seven Star Sect's 'Golden Sage' and the Emei Sect's Haotian Sword Technique at a young age, it is really a hero since ancient times!" The old man admires! ”

He Shi thought to himself: Fortunately, the eldest brother taught Haotian swordsmanship, otherwise I don't know what it will become, so I said: "That's a fluke from the juniors, and it is also the mercy of the seniors." ”

"Well, yes, it's good material!" After saying that, the man in black jumped and disappeared into the night.

He Shi I hurriedly asked, "I don't know what to call my predecessors, and when will I see you again?" ”

"If you can solve the bloody case of the dart game, you will meet one day." Then there was a burst of laughter, and then there was no sound. He Shi I was thinking about who this person was, and after staying for a while, I returned to the Jiedu Embassy.

The next day was Ma Delong's Sanqi, in order to prevent the corpse from rotting and stinking, Sima Qian decided to bury him, and also asked everyone to send Ma Delong on his last journey. Happy Xia said that he had just come to menstruation, and the pain was unbearable. Everyone also felt that she was not suitable to see her off, and they were happy to stay in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion in the summer. Although the Dama Dart Bureau has a good reputation in Anzhou, the bloody case has not been solved, and there are still very few people who can come to see Ma Delong off. In view of this, Master He also called Fu Danzi. Among the group, Sima Quan presided over the funeral, Sima Qian dressed Ma Qian in linen and wore filial piety, Gai Buxun, Yi Youzhi, Huan Chang and Gongxibu carried the coffin, He Shi and I followed, and there were some family members of the Dama Dart Bureau, or crying and mourning, or burning paper money, or carrying sacrifices...... After a short time, everyone hugged Ma Delong's coffin and came to the cemetery in the south of Qingfeng Ling. The cemetery in the south of the Qingfeng Mountains, unlike the mass graves in the north, are all buried by people of a certain status in Anzhou, and the graves are all decent. After burying Ma Delong, Sima Qian fell to his knees and cried:

"Uncle Woohoo, died suddenly; Say goodbye and live forty-five.

Born in war, out of Anyuan; Xijun died early and was raised on his shoulders.

The only daughter and the son, Ma Qian Ma Xi; The pearl in the palm of your hand, such as in the heart.

"Spring and Autumn" is righteous and high, earnest and taught; Do not seek great filial piety, only good creation.

The father was busy with official business, and he was too busy to read slaves; Often in the dart game, I can't help myself.

Every lesson is engraved in the five organs; It reverberates to this day and will never be forgotten.

Loving father is like mother, diligent love; Day by day, as usual, there is no escape.

The first dart game, a booming business; Riding a dart alone, showing the civil and military.

Safety is unpredictable, leisurely; Gregorious, bodyguards for one night.

There are delays from time to time, and I am not in the subordinate; Self-responsibility, self-ignorance and self-suffering.

camping in a foreign land, as a slave as usual; Detective sentry, everything is self-sufficient.

Thousands of miles away, you miss the little girl; is no less than Changhong, love is like a biological father.

There is no shortage of hospitality; Every big gift, endlessly.

Anzhou is in trouble, and we will help each other; The people of Li were suffering and came to the rescue.

As the sun rises, but rides the crane; Anzhou wails, no one is evil.

Dark clouds cover the sun, and it is wind and rain; Don't add it again, and suddenly lose your heart.

Although there is poverty, but the love cannot end. Woohoo lament, Shang Fang! ”

After hearing Sima Qian's words, even the four of them were moved, and everyone was even more emotional. After Sima Quan announced the funeral, He Shi and I asked Di Rong to help Sima Qian up. Sima Qian suppressed his heavy feelings a little and thanked everyone. After that, everyone dispersed, and Fu Danzi went to the mass grave in the north to worship his uncle Ma Qingfeng, needless to say.

He Shi and I went to an inn, visited Ma Baizhong, entered the room, and found that Liu San was still asleep on his stomach. He Shi and I didn't play him this time, I walked directly to Ma Baizhong's bed, and when I saw that he didn't wake up, I gave him a pulse, and felt that it was almost the same as the pulse last time, so I woke up Liu San and asked, "Brother Liu San, why did you fall asleep?" ”

Liu San suddenly woke up from his sleep, still playing with a wooden stick, beating randomly, and said, "Why am I asleep again?" ”

He Shi, I smiled and said, "I think you are taking care of your big brother Ma, too hard or too nervous?" ”

Liu San was at a loss, thought for a while, and asked, "I don't know what the situation is with Brother Ma?" ”

"It's still the same as last time, it's not much better. In this way, if I change the side again, and it still doesn't work, then he will have to go to see Maderon! "Master He, I pretended to be serious. Liu San immediately knelt down and begged Master He to save Ma Baizhong's life. He Shi and I smiled, handed over the recipe to Liu San, and gave him such and such instructions, and gave him some silver taels. After that, he went out of an inn and went to the Jiedu Embassy's house.

When Sima Qian, Di Rong and others came to the gate of the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion, He Shi and I had just arrived from behind, and found that the four of Gai Yihuan had not come, so they asked Sima Xiang: "Sister of the county lord, what about your four elder brothers?" ”

"I received a letter from my father last night, saying that thieves are rampant now, and I am afraid that there will be mistakes on the road, so I asked my four brothers to go to Beijing to answer them. Now it's time to go up the river and rush to Jingshi. ”

He Shi and I nodded, and entered the Jiedu Embassy with everyone. He Shi, I remembered Le Yuxia again, so I looked for her everywhere in the house, but there was no one. When He Shi and I came to the gate of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion again, I was happy that Xia Zheng was coming, and I was a little tired. He Shi I asked, "Where is my sister from?" ”

"Seeing that you all went to see off Mr. Ma's dart, I was bored, so I went for a walk on the street."

He Shi nodded, helped Le Yuxia, and said some comforting words to let her rest. After a while, it was time for lunch. Because Ma Delong was buried today, Sima Quan asked people to eat some vegetarian meals. He Shi, I found that Le Yuxia didn't come, so I asked Di Rong to call.

It is said that Di Rong just arrived at the door of Le Yuxia's room, and only heard a loud cry of "ah" in the room, so he didn't allow him to knock on the door, and immediately pushed the door in. Di Rong saw that Le Yu Xia had just jumped out of the bathtub, still naked, and there was some blood in the bathtub, so he closed the door and said with a smile: "Sister Xia, how can anyone sit in the bathtub and take a bath on this red day?" ”

Le Yuxia looked shy and said: "Maybe I've been busy solving the case these days, and I've gone out to play, and I've been so tired that I forgot that I should take a bath or a scrub." ”

"I'm embarrassed to say it, I said in the morning that I wouldn't go to see off Mr. Ma because of this matter, but now I forgot about it." As Di Rong spoke, she walked up to Le Yuxia and wiped her body. Le Xia was moved, and tears almost welled up in his eyes. After a while, Di Rong led Le Yuxia to come and eat with everyone, needless to say.

After lunch, everyone went to rest, but He Shi and I were alone in the back garden, sitting in the scorching sun, and began to sort out their thoughts: first, the opponent should know that the Qian Wanguan brothers are the guarantor of the Dama Dart Bureau, then they will also know that the Dama Dart Bureau has a tragedy, and the eldest brother will definitely come to investigate, so why should they do a fake scene in Qingfeng Ling, isn't it a waste of time? Of course, if it weren't for the bright light from the sword in Ma Baizhong's hand, I wouldn't have been able to find it for a while! Second, isn't it stupid to make Maderon's face so unbearable, isn't it trying to cover it up, and it still seems that they are cruel? Third, a closer investigation shows that Ma Delong and Ma Qingfeng did not die from the Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand, but a more vicious kung fu than the Dragon Claw Hand, and it should have been done by two different people; Fourth, it can also be seen from the wounds of the deceased in the Dama Dart Bureau that they may not have died from Shaolin one-finger Zen Gong, such as the "Golden Sage" kung fu taught by the eldest brother, but they were also killed by Wudang's Mianzhang Gong, if Xu Qingen participated, it means that Shuxinzi's Manichaeism also participated, hey, it's not easy to do! Fifth, as Princess Di Rong guessed, there is no corpse of an opponent, is it really that the opponent is too strong? No, there must be rat poop in the porridge! Sixth, as for Ma Baizhong, I obviously opened the prescription, and Liu San is naturally fine, why didn't he wake up and not be killed? Someone must have secretly done it, neither to wake him up, but not to say that he did not dare to kill him, why is this? Seventh, who is the senior who tested me, and is he related to the bloody case of the Dama Dart Bureau? Eighth, Ma Delong and they don't know where a treasure map of Zhonghengguo is, which should be the introduction of this case, and it is also the key, it is really troublesome; Ninth, although the investigation is troublesome, it can be regarded as some gains, but I still don't know who the "Anzhou Dama" in the eldest brother's bag is pointing to, is it the senior? It's hard to say.

Just as Master He and I were thinking, Di Rong came and asked, "Brother He, what are you doing, okay, why can't you get along with yourself, basking in the sun alone, not afraid of being roasted?" ”

He Shi came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's not that Liu Dongmei yet...... What my sister said, where to stay warm. I think this back garden is quite hot, so I came here! ”

After a burst of laughter, seeing that there was no one around, Di Rong said solemnly: "I don't know how Big Brother He investigated the bloody case of the Dama Dart Bureau?" "Di Rong had wanted to ask Master He for a long time, but he didn't have a good opportunity, and he was afraid that it would be inconvenient. Until now, only the two of them were there, and Di Rong asked.

He Shi and I naturally understood the meaning of Di Rong's words, so I basically told her everything I thought of, sighed, and then said: "Up to now, there are two more troublesome things, one is where is the treasure map escorted by the Dama Dart Bureau, and the other is the eldest brother's 'Anzhou Dama', I don't have a clue at all!" Di Rong also sighed and said some words of encouragement, hoping that He Shi and I could solve the bloody case of the dart game as soon as possible.
