At this time, the moon passed through the atrium, the floor of the corridor seemed to be paved with a layer of dim hoarfrost, and the surroundings were quiet, Qiu Yinming and Hengyu were still sitting side by side under the corridor, chatting casually by the faint light of a lamp.

"I see that your father was like that just now, and he doesn't seem to be willing to make peace with Chunlin Villa." Qiu Yinming leaned his back against the railing and tilted his head slightly.

"Of course, a proud person like him would not be willing to be on an equal footing with others."

"Is my father willing? But for the sake of today, if the two can make peace, that will be the best outcome. Qiu Yinming sighed lightly, "I'm afraid...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. ”

"Do you know what I'm worried about right now?"

Qiu Yinming turned his face sideways and heard her say, "Zining followed us all the way here, not where she should come." If something happens, I'll have to keep her safe. But now, it's really not the time to have worries. ”

"But I'm worried about you." Qiu Yinming said softly, "I don't want you to fight hard for anything. You can't go desperate. ”

Hengyu smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

After sitting quietly for a while, Qiu Yinming said, "Why don't you let Uncle Qi take Zi Ning back first." He kept wanting to retreat, but he couldn't pull away. If there is another variable, he will not let go. I think I used this excuse to ask him to go back and take care of the rear. Now all the people are outside, in case something happens, there is a backup. ”

"Hmm. Then I'll tell him tomorrow. Hengyu still blinked his eyes, saw Qiu Yinming's tired face, and said softly: "You go and rest." ”

Qiu Yinming nodded, but the person did not move, turned his head to look at her, his eyes were full of affection, and begged: "I will listen to you play the flute for a while." ”

Hengyu also agreed, went back to the house and took the flute out, still sat down, and asked, "What do you want to listen to?" ”

"Just listen to your Persian music." Qiu Yinming said, lying on his side, and pillowed his head on her lap, "I remember that time in Baiyunzhuang on the Liuye Slope of Miaofeng Mountain, after being caught by you, I drank with Uncle Zhao in the backyard at night, and I heard you playing the flute. ”

"You remember this." Hengyu also looked down at him and smiled, "That's good, in fact, I still play Persian tunes better." Holding the bone flute, he took the copper-inlaid end in his mouth, blew lightly, and the melody of the leisurely swirl climbed into the air along the moonlight. Qiu Yinming closed his eyes and muttered: "Many years ago, there was a big cannibal friend who told me a lot of stories, some from his hometown and some from Persia, and I thought at that time that I would definitely go to him when I had the opportunity in the future." When all these things are over, let's go to Persia together......"

Before he could say a few words, drowsiness swept over, and the music gradually drifted away, drifting farther and farther away, and then he felt Heng Yuhuan's sleeves fall on his face, and his fingers rubbed him lightly behind his ears for a while, making him feel relaxed, and he fell into a deep sleep at once.

On the morning of the next day, the door of the Lingyin Houshan Wenjian Pavilion was still crowded with people, the white paper silk on both sides of the lintel trembled in the wind, and the plain white lanterns of the color under the corner beams of the house, the door people were all dressed in linen and filial piety, and knelt in turn to guard the mourning hall. The old pavilion master died of a long illness, at the age of seventy and eight, if it is usually a happy mourning, but the death at this juncture, but how much bitterness is added.

Dongfang Lin, Wu Wei, Fang Tongbao, and Master Yao came to the other courtyard when they met the leader of the Xihai Alliance. Heng Jingzhao was dressed in a daily black robe, but he did not wear a golden crown, and only Qi Mutian and Yang Zheng were followed by him. After greeting at the door, the seven entered together. The Bai family has accumulated good deeds for generations and has enjoyed a good reputation in Hangzhou Mansion for a long time, and not only the martial arts factions came to mourn, but also many nearby squires, villagers, and officials who had dealings with the Bai family in Hangzhou Mansion. The people didn't know about the grievances of Wulin, and everyone who came sincerely mourned, and the friendship was genuine, which made the Bai family feel a lot of relief for the time being.

Entering all the way from the main entrance, Dongfang Lin secretly kept an eye on the people in the courtyard, and sure enough, most of the people who appeared at the opening of the conference a few days ago were also there, gathering in groups in the side hall, patio, and corridor. It must be about the scattered post of Chunlin Villa last night. Master Yao whispered as he walked: "I see, there must be a lot of people who suffered some hardships yesterday, and I will know when I see their leaders in a while." Dongfang Lin said: "It's hard for you." "Where, I wouldn't have dared to do anything with these people." It turned out that last night, Di Taifeng and Du Yu brought people to the city to deliver a letter, showing off their might, and I heard that those who resisted were beaten up.

Seeing the Lord of the Xihai Alliance coming, everyone unanimously made a way, and several people went straight to the mourning hall. Bai Mengyang heard the news and came to greet him in person. Dongfang Lin stood behind, and clearly heard Bai Mengyang thank Heng Jingzhao repeatedly, and his words were extremely friendly. After a few words, Heng Jingzhao and the other three went into the mourning hall to offer incense. Although Dongfang Lin felt embarrassed, he had no choice but to step forward at this time, bow his hand to Bai Mengyang, and said, "The Lord of the White Pavilion mourns. ”

"Thank you, Miss Dongfang." Bai Mengyang's expression was blank, his eyes were faintly blue, and the whole person seemed to be much older overnight. Dongfang Linxin couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and after a simple salute, he bowed his head and walked into the mourning hall.

In an eventful autumn, the funeral of the old pavilion master can only be simplified, but fortunately, the Taoist of the Wudang faction took the initiative to come to the old pavilion master. At this time, the eldest disciple of the head of Cheng was leading the remaining twelve Taoists to recite the "Taishang Compassion and Relief of Suffering and Removal of Sins of the Ten Kings Treasure Confession", and the family members and disciples were divided into two sides and knelt silently. Dongfang Lin finished the incense, and when he turned around, he inadvertently glanced at the people of the Bai family, and saw that kneeling beside Sima was a young woman of the same age as himself, with a low jade face, eyebrows like smoke, and sad eyes. Dongfang Lin said in his heart: Could it be that she is Miss Bai and Duan Yunyi's wife? is so pitiful, she is also a woman, and she can't help but look at her a few more times. Looking at the young man on the other side of the Sima clan, it must be the son Bai Zhijie. The last time I ran away from the marriage in a hurry, I didn't even see what he looked like. Dongfang Lin sighed secretly and quickly retreated.

As soon as he got out, someone from the Bai family led several people to the back patio to serve a cup of tea. Dongfang Lin drank half a sip of tea, and saw that Hengjing Zhao and Qi Mutian had already walked to the back hall, and there were many people inside, as if the heads of various factions were expressing their opinions inside, Fang wanted to talk to Wuwei, and also went over to take a look, but saw that the backyard door suddenly opened, and Sima Xin walked out of the door.

Sima Xing raised his eyes and saw them, a little surprised, walked straight forward, greeted him, and then looked at Dongfang Lin and said, "Why did you come here?" His gaze was straight on her face, making her suddenly feel so uncomfortable.

"I ...... Since he is a fellow martial artist, of course he should take a look. Dongfang Lin hurriedly pretended to be calm and looked away.

Sima Xin said: "Last night, Chunlin Villa scattered posts everywhere, and you must have received them. "Blink of an eye, looking at the back hall, "These leaders have arrived, but I don't think I can discuss any results." When he turned around, he saw that the master of the Yao bureau was alive, and he wanted to speak, but the master of the Yao bureau stepped forward first and said to him with a smile: "This son fought against the master of Du San Zhuang of Chunlin Villa last night, and his martial arts are extraordinary and admirable. Yao Sheng in the Jinhua Branch of the Lower Oriental Dart Bureau, dare to ask what the son is called? ”

"Luoyang Huaiyue Villa, Sima Xin." After saying that, he glanced at Dongfang Lin again, and said to the master of the Yao Bureau with a smile: "A few days ago, I also mentioned to Young Master Lin that the visitor of the Dongfang Dart Bureau turned out to be Your Excellency, and I have admired it for a long time. ”

When Master Yao heard the words "Young Master Lin", he smiled and said, "It turns out that you all knew each other earlier. ”

Dongfang Lin glared at Sima Xin, only to see a faint smile in the corner of his eyes, although he looked at Master Yao, the smile was clearly aimed at her. I only heard him say again: "Young Master Lin is intelligent, brave and strategic, and has a reputation in the rivers and lakes, and I am also fortunate to meet by chance." Dongfang Lin was used to Sima Xin's unscrupulous words and teasing and joking before, but today he saw that he was praising himself to others in a serious manner, and he suddenly lost his mind.

"I have just heard from the people who came earlier that although Chunlin Villa has clarified to the public that it will no longer seek revenge, it is extremely arrogant in the book, and it is also said that the day after tomorrow it will still gather everyone in the old place of performance on the bank of the Qiantang River, in order to respect Naqiu Yun as the leader of the martial arts alliance." Sima Xin said, smiling slightly, "It's strange, I thought that many resentful people would raise their arms and shout for justice in the martial arts or something, but from morning to now, the room is almost full, and they are all very calm." Now that the leader of the West Sea Alliance has gone, I don't know what will happen. ”

Master Yao glanced into the back hall and said to Dongfang Lin and the others, "Why don't we go and take a look?" ”

Wu Wei replied on the side: "It's all the head, the leader, we don't know what it is." Or, Master Yao, you go and listen to it, and tell us later. In fact, Wuwei is really a little resistant to these rivers and lakes, so he naturally doesn't want to go in at this time.

Dongfang Lin was still a little hesitant, and listened to Sima Xin: "Brother Shangguan is reasonable. Yao, the chief please. ”

After the Yao Bureau Master walked into the back hall, Sima Xin whispered to the other three: "What you said in that doesn't make much sense, I have a matter to do here, I don't know if the three of you are interested in going together." Dongfang Lin saw that his face was solemn, not like he was joking, he was aroused and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Sima Xin said: "Last night, several groups of thieves entered the main manor on Tianzhu Mountain. Because the people who asked the Sword Pavilion are all here now, and it is almost empty. The steward said that the gang of thieves did not come and go much sound, and the manor was turned into a mess, but there was almost no loss of money, and they were by no means ordinary thieves, and I don't know why they came. ”

Fang Tongbao pondered: "I took the two most valuable antiques last time. Is there anything else that can't be done? ”

Seeing that there was no one around, Sima Xin lowered his voice and said, "The Essence of the Ten Directions." ”

Dongfang Lin sighed in surprise, and then said with a look of indignation: "What kind of person is so immoral and characterless!" At this time, don't forget to covet treasures. Besides, isn't it just a book, why can it always attract a group of fools who dream of yellow sorghum! ”

Wuwei said: "Although it is just a book, in the eyes of many outsiders, those who were and are now the top masters have indeed read it." Like my master, the leader of the Mu League of the West Sea League, Qiu Yun, they have all seen it. ”

Dongfang Lin made a disdainful expression, sighed speechlessly, and asked Sima Xin again: "What does the White Pavilion Lord want to entrust you with?" ”

Sima Xin was also a little helpless, and said: "To tell you the truth, before the old pavilion master died, he never mentioned the "Essence of the Ten Directions" at all, and now even my uncle doesn't know where this book is hidden. It's ridiculous that outsiders can't wait to come to the door. My uncle asked me to find a way to find it. I asked him what he would do if he could be found. He was a man of understanding, and without hesitation, he destroyed the book in public. ”

Wu Wei nodded: "The White Pavilion Lord is actually a righteous gentleman, and he is pitiful for the world." If you can't find it, I don't know how much trouble you will have. Brother Sima, I'll help you with this. ”

Dongfang Lin also said: "I haven't paid back the favor I owed you last time, so this time I should pay you back." ”

The four of them agreed, that is, they went out from the side gate and went along the mountain path to the manor of the lord of Tianzhu Ridge, no matter what, they went to find out first, and they didn't know if the thieves from last night could leave some traces.

Walking briskly on the mountain road, Dongfang Lin's mind was thinking about these black and white portals one by one, wondering which passers-by would have such bad behavior, and she couldn't help but hear Sima Xin, who was walking behind her, say to her: "Brother Lin, is the fire gun you gave you last time still agreeable?" ”

Dongfang Lin suddenly turned around, raised his head and said angrily: "Do you know, you are self-righteous, others don't have the ability of you, and you have to point fingers......" Halfway through speaking, he saw Sima Xin smiling, unmoved by her words, just staring at her.

"Hmph." Dongfang Lin glared at him back, turned around and continued on his way.

A gust of wind with the fragrance of trees blew in the forest, and she suddenly felt a little warm on her cheeks, but somehow, Sima Xin's face always lingered, and in all fairness, that smile was really like the sun of early spring, shining on people's hearts. Dongfang Lin shook his head and sneered to himself: Where did you think of it. But I still couldn't help my heart beating, so I simply quickened my pace, walked to the front and gossiped without doing anything.
