There were no words along the way, and Zong Zhengke and Xiao Peng went to Tongxinyuan. This is a small plain on the mountainside, I don't know if it has been deliberately rested, and the ground is very flat. The plains are covered with green grass, like a carpet stretching to the sky, and the most striking thing in the center of the carpet is a large tree that grows strangely.

This tree, Zong Zhengke does not know its variety, it is tall and verdant, the leaves are like jasper, and the dense turns cover the small half of the sky. Its trunk was very short, no more than a foot high from the ground, and there were two branches on it, one of which was thick and straight, like a sharp sword piercing the sky; The other branch was slender and flexible and twisted, and it was bent and leaning against the straight branch, as if it were snuggled in its arms.

No wonder it is called the husband and wife concentric tree, people who have a heart really want to ponder, and really think that the straight branch is the male entanglement Angzang man, and the soft branch is a graceful and gentle woman. The two branches are born from the same root, and they naturally never abandon each other, live and die together, and are also secretly in line with the way of husband and wife.

The tree was tall and leafy, with countless concentric knots of various colors and styles tied to it. Zong Zhengke looked up and felt that these heart-shaped concentric knots were hearts hanging between the branches. But some of these little "hearts" are still new in color, while others have long since faded and faded.

She watched silently for a moment, and then walked away as usual, which made Xiao Pengju a little surprised. He thought that any family of boudoir daughters, even his sisters, would always have some longing and yearning in the face of things related to marriage, but he didn't expect that this little cousin didn't seem to care at all.

Not far from the concentric tree, there is a large inn with a height of three floors. At this time, the door of the inn was wide open, and a few juniors could be vaguely seen sitting lazily on the benches, giggling and not knowing what to say.

Zong Zhengke asked Xiao Pengju: "It's getting late, do we want to stay here?" ”

Xiao Pengju shook his head with a smile and said, "No, let's hurry up and settle down in Yanjiazhuang in front." ”

Yanjiazhuang? Zong Zhengke's heart moved, this place can be very famous in the martial arts of Tianxing Kingdom, and its owner Yan Huawu is known as the iron brave Meng Weijun. But this Meng Weijun backed a certain big man in Jingshi, and privately recruited good players for this big man. It's not really the hospitable "Meng Weijun".

The thought was fleeting, Zong Zhengke only responded lightly, and then carried the basket to a place she had long been optimistic about. After all, she was mentioning a sacrifice, and it was a bit inappropriate to pay tribute here. The last time she came, she found a hidden place, and now she naturally goes there.

When he arrived at the ground, Zong Zhengke placed sacrifices behind a big rock, in addition to rice wine, fruits, food, etc., it was incense burners, incense candles, paper money. Keep everything neatly organized. Incense and candles were inserted in the hearth, a fire was lit, and rice wine was poured into the cup, and she knelt on the wet grass and kowtowed reverently. Xu and Xiao Quanzhong both knelt down behind her, and Xiao Pengju helped burn paper money on the side.

After Zongzheng Ke's sacrifice, Xiao Pengju also paid tribute, kowtowed and said: "Aunt, uncle, please rest assured, my nephew will take care of my sister!" ”

Hear this. Zong Zhengke lowered his eyebrows, and his face was calm and waveless. No, Xiao Quanzhong suddenly whispered behind her: "Girl, girl, look there." ”

Looking in the direction of Xiao Quanzhong's finger, Zong Zhengke was slightly stunned. Not far away, she also saw an incense burner, which not only contained half-burned incense candles, but also a lot of paper money that had been burned to ashes. In front of the incense burner, there were several empty porcelain plates on the ground.

Zong Zhengke's heart moved slightly, and he walked over. Xiao Quanzhong had already taken the lead. didn't touch the incense burner, but wrapped his hand in a handkerchief and picked up a porcelain plate and held it up for Zong Zhengke to see.

Over there, Xiao Pengju also got up, followed over, and when he saw the porcelain plate, he said, "Huh." This dish is not ordinary, it seems to be made of imitation of Jokhang sweet white porcelain. Look at this thin tire and delicate color, it can also be regarded as imitation porcelain. ”

Zong Zhengke had also recognized this porcelain plate, and she exchanged glances with Xu, signaling the other party to suppress her surprise. Just because of the porcelain plate in Xiao Quanzhong's hand. It is almost the same as one of the real white porcelain tableware in her mother's relics. And that set of utensils was made by the Jokhang court decades ago. Even if you want to imitate it, I'm afraid you won't imitate this kind of tableware that has long been out of the market, right?

Who could have been here? Could it be that in addition to his father and mother, there have been people who have also been martyred in Tongxinyuan? Zong Zhengke took note of this matter and decided to go back and ask Mingxin to send the little brother's men to investigate. It's not that she's suspicious, it's that things are too coincidental for her to be unconcerned.

However, Xiao Pengju didn't care, and said with a smile: "In this place of Tongxinyuan, there are people who come to tie the concentric knot, and there are sad people who come to deliberately remove the concentric knot. Not only that, but to the north is the sad cliff, and I don't know how many sad people jumped off the cliff and died. If you look around here, you might even find something to pay homage to. ”

Zong Zhengke's eyebrows moved slightly, and he nodded: "In this case, put the things back, let's go." ”

Xiao Quanzhong put the porcelain plate back in its place, and several people sped up their pace and went down the mountain. It's just that he didn't go far, Zong Zhengke's brows furrowed slightly, and by raising his hand to clip the wind-blown sideburns behind his ears, he quickly glanced in the direction of the big inn.

Her eyes were slightly gloomy, and she saw that there seemed to be a person standing behind a window on the third floor of the inn, looking at her from a distance. Just now, she was keenly aware of the strange gaze, so she intended to look at it, but she didn't expect that someone was really peeping at it.

This is the intuition of a martial artist, even if she can't cultivate at this time, she still has such a terrifying feeling. However, there seemed to be no malice in the man's eyes. Zong Zhengke couldn't figure it out, but he didn't plan to inspect it. If someone has a heart for her or anyone, she will naturally appear, and she will not change to meet all changes.

The figures of Zong Zhengke and the others gradually disappeared, and the person standing on the third floor of the inn retreated into the room. There was more than one person in the room, and another person was sitting on a reclining chair, swaying leisurely while gnawing the white pear in his hand until the juice flowed.

"Uncle Iron Mask, it's time for us to go to Beijing, right? escorted all the way here, and I can also give an explanation to the master. If we don't do a good job of the three girls, people will complain to Venerable Su Hui, and Venerable will complain to the master, can we have a good child? Duan Duhu squinted his eyes, looking quite enjoyable.

Tie Mian was silent, bypassed Duan Duhu, and walked out of the room. Duan Duhu slowly got up and paced to the window. It wasn't long before he saw Iron Mask walk out of the inn gate and towards the concentric tree.

Duan Duhu laughed and said to Wang Lone Wolf who was lying on the bed: "Yo, won't Uncle Iron Mask still be a lover?" He wouldn't fake it, would he? But no one answered him, and the lone wolf slept on his back, snoring louder and louder. (To be continued.) )
