There was still a little time to leave the dinner, and Boss Yan laughed and took everyone to see the granary first, and Zhanzhao and the others readily agreed.

Sure enough, the Yan family's mansion is hollowed out at the bottom of the mountain, and it is very large-scale, divided into several layers, all of which are granaries and have a lot of grain in reserve. Boss Yan said that if he buys military rations from him, first, he will ensure that the quality is good, and second, even if there is a sudden drought or flood, he can guarantee that the supply will not be cut off.

Long Qiaoguang really thinks that this old man is quite reliable, but it is a pity that he is implicated in the murder, otherwise it would be a choice to buy food from him.

As Zhanzhao walked, he wanted to talk about it, so he spoke, "By the way, Boss Yan, we have been from Kaifeng when we came." ”

Boss Yan nodded and looked at Zhanzhao.

"There have been several murders in Kaifeng City recently." Zhan Zhao said intentionally or unintentionally, "Speaking of which, if it weren't for these murders, we wouldn't have thought of coming to you to buy rice." ”

Boss Yan looked surprised, "You learned from the murder that you came to me to buy rice?" ”

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Boss Yan was very interested, "Then I want to hear about it, what is the murder?" ”

"There is another ghost house in Kaifeng Mansion, does Boss Yan know?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Boss Yan was stunned, dazed, "Ghost house? ”

"Why don't you ask?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Kaifeng Jin family ......"

Boss Yan understood when he heard this, "Oh......"

Everyone observed his face, and his tone seemed to change.

"Alas......" Boss Yan shook his head, "It stands to reason that you shouldn't say bad things about the dead, Lao Jin and I have always known each other, and it's miserable, but it's really angry to say!" ”

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Could it be that the rumors that the son of the Jin family and Ling Qianjin are married?" ”

"That's right!" Boss Yan nodded, "You are also big shots, my Lao Yan is not an unreasonable person!" Back then, my three daughters were both talented and beautiful, alas, I'll just say so, there is an endless stream of people who come to propose marriage every day! Lao Jin came to propose marriage to me, I think our family is also a good family, and then Jin Shan's kid and my daughter exchanged letters, my daughter admired the literati, and felt that this kid was promising, so she agreed to marry him. For him, she put off several family affairs, and stupidly waited for that stinky little to marry her. Speaking of this, Yan Lao was not in one place, "Hey! You know what kind of family business I pushed away! The son of the soldier's squire! The son of the prefect of Suzhou! The third son of the Buwang Chen family, there is still ...... More than ten years ago, Liu Shaoqing, who was on the double list of civil and military! ”

Zhan Zhao was a little surprised, Liu Shaoqing served in Zhao Pu's army, he was a military captain in Zan, and he was an all-round talent in civil and military affairs.

Long Qiaoguang was also familiar with Liu Shaoqing, and patted the old man on the shoulder, "Oops! Old man, you missed your son-in-law! Shaoqing is a good person! I don't bother, but now I'm in love with my sister-in-law, and my children are very big! My son is expected to be able to go to school next year. ”

The old man stomped his feet, "It's so uncomfortable to talk about!" What I hurt the most is my three daughters! She waited for Kim Sun for two years, and he suddenly had no news! From the age of eighteen to the age of twenty! You say this kid is not a thing! I later ran to Kaifeng, but who knew that Lao Jin actually told me that he had already married, and that he was married to my daughter......"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Well, it's really the same as the rumors, is someone cheating on marriage?" ”

"Lie to him!" Yan Lao was so angry that he grinded his teeth, "That little bastard Jin Shan fell in love with a civilian woman and came up with this bad move!" How can this man do this, you say? You'd better tell my daughter first! People can waste a lot of time waiting for you! At first, I didn't dare to tell my daughter, she was arrogant and could not stand this anger, but if she didn't tell her, her strong temper would have to wait. ”

Zhan Zhao and the others glanced at each other, if it was true, Jin Shan was indeed not a thing, and he simply didn't know what to say.

"Then what happened to Ling Qianjin's marriage later?" Long Qiaoguang asked.

Boss Yan sighed, "Later, my wife sued my daughter, and my daughter almost ran away to be a sister-in-law, but fortunately, I met a good person later......"

Seeing that everyone was worried, Boss Yan also discouraged his anger and said, "The fate of this world is estimated to be destined by heaven, my daughter-in-law didn't make it, and then ran out, and threw herself into the lake if she couldn't think about it...... Fortunately, a young man was called to save him. Well, that person is also a civil and military all-round talent after a famous family, and the two just looked at each other like this, and soon became married. Now my grandson also has three, and the son-in-law is very good, hurtful and filial. My daughter has long been angry, but she will persuade me in turn, if it weren't for Jin Shan, she wouldn't have met true love, so I didn't pursue it, otherwise I would have gone to the Jin family to fight with them! ”

Zhan Zhao and the others nodded—that's fine.

"But." Boss Yan shook his head, "I didn't expect the old Jin family to end up like this." ”

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang - is Boss Yan too good at acting? Or is he really just an ordinary businessman?

Bai Yutang didn't see anything wrong, but because it was too inappropriate, it made people wonder.

Long Qiaoguang looked at his idol, what does that mean-could it be that people are similar, he is not Yan Wei's son? Otherwise, Yan Wei didn't tell him anything at all, and he didn't know anything.

Wu Yiwu didn't speak, and looked at the wind.

Feng Chuanfeng touched his chin and didn't say anything.

Both seemed thoughtful.

After everyone had finished visiting the warehouse, it was time for dinner...... At this time, the "old lady" also came out.

Sure enough, it was an old lady, who looked like she was more than a hundred years old, so old that she couldn't stand on her feet and trembled.

Feng Chuanfeng looked at Wu Yicao, Wu Yicao didn't say anything, it was almost the same as not seeing it, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang wondered - could it be that Wu Yicao and Feng Chuanfeng recognized the wrong person?

After eating, everyone returned to their guest rooms.

Zhan Zhao crossed his arms and thought about it - so far he didn't find any clues.

Bai Yutang also felt that something seemed wrong......

Long Qiaoguang poured tea on the side and made medicine for Wu Yijiao. The medicinal powder was given to him by Hongjiuniang in detail, a total of six packs, enough to eat for three days, twice a day in the morning and evening, soaked in hot water. Gongsun's packets of medicine are quite effective, after a short period of conditioning, Wu Yiwu is indeed much better, and he doesn't cough anymore, and the divine doctor is the divine doctor.

Long Qiaoguang waited for the medicine to be warm, so he brought it to Wu Yicao, and then went to pour tea.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang held their chins, and they couldn't laugh or cry when they saw that the general was really doing his duty to "serve tea and pour water" for his idol...... Moreover, Wu Yiwu is the most afraid of being verbose, and he has a headache when he is annoyed, so recently, General Right has even talked to himself less often.

At this time, Feng Chuanfeng walked in.

Wu Yiwu put down the medicine bowl, took the teacup and asked while drinking, "How?" ”

Feng Chuanfeng smiled, "Just like you think." ”

Wu Yiyi smiled, "Sure enough." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Wu Yiyi in puzzlement.

Wu Yiwu stood up, "Let's go out and eat and meet old friends by the way." ”

After speaking, the sick scholar walked out, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were puzzled, and they also followed, and Long Qiaoguang of course also joined in the fun.

Wu Yiwu walked around the courtyard, as if he had found some way, and then kept walking......

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt that there were some people in ambush behind the courtyard walls around them, but none of them moved, and they felt that there was actually no shortage of masters in terms of internal strength...... What's going on?

Wu Yiwu walked to the front of a large courtyard, and saw that in the courtyard, Boss Yan was there, beside him, two little dolls, a man and a woman, were playing, and a slightly older teenager was sitting at the table and writing.

Seeing Wu Yiwu and others coming in, several children raised their faces.

Boss Yan looked at everyone, and finally sighed, patted the young man, and said, "Take my younger brothers and sisters back to the house to sleep." ”

The young man went to take his younger brothers and sisters, and the two little dolls and the eldest "grandfather" came to the "grandfather" to sprinkle on the ground for a while, and finally were taken away to sleep.

When the children left, the courtyard suddenly fell silent.

Zhan Zhao saw that at this time, Boss Yan's expression seemed to have changed.

Bai Yutang also felt a burst of internal force...... Elder Yan will work hard! Not only can you do kung fu, but your martial arts are also very high! He just pretended to be ......

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and both of them suddenly thought - could it be that Boss Yan is Yan Wei?

Thinking of this, he heard the sound of footsteps outside, and Zhanzhao could hear that they were surrounded by people.

Boss Yan sighed and looked at Wu Yijiao, "If someone else comes, maybe I can still fool the past, and when I see that it is you, I know that I can't pretend to be able to do it......"

Wu Yiwu seemed to find it very interesting, "You have changed a lot over the years, and you really didn't recognize it at first." ”

Boss Yan looked at him and laughed dryly, "Like you, it doesn't change at all, it is estimated that it is a little difficult...... But ......"

As he spoke, Boss Yan waved his hand to the men who walked to the door, signaling them not to be nervous, and said unhurriedly, "What doesn't change is just the appearance, if I met you before, I would have died." ”

Wu Yiwu's eyes were slightly cold.

Boss Yan waved his hand and said, "I know what happened to you, there will always be a day when the Jin family's murder case will be investigated again, since Zhanzhao is Yin Hou's grandson, it will be a matter of time before you find me, I am mentally prepared...... But the murder really has nothing to do with me. ”

As he spoke, Boss Yan looked at Zhanzhao, "You're Zhanzhao, right?" ”

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Boss Yan looked at Bai Yutang again, "Tianzun's apprentice? ”

Bai Yutang also nodded.

Yan Lao smiled, "Time flies quite fast. ”

Long Qiaoguang sighed - the old man has good acting skills!

Wu Yiwu didn't have any expression, as if he was in a daze.

Boss Yan raised his head, looked at Wu Yicao, for a long time, and begged helplessly, "Let me go." ”

Wu Yiwu frowned slightly and glanced at him...... Zhan Zhao could see the murderous aura from Wu Yicao's eyes, and he could see that Uncle Xiao Yu really wanted to kill Yan Wei, could it be that the two had any grudges?

"Why should I let you go?" The wind asked.

Boss Yan smiled bitterly, "For the sake of my three grandchildren...... I know I'm sinful and don't deserve to be like this, but I've been around for a long time. ”

"It doesn't look like it's been around for a long time." Zhan Zhao said, "Twenty years ago, you sold a batch of official ships......

Boss Yan waved his hand, "I didn't do it, but the official ship was indeed sold by me, and if you promise to let me go, I will tell you everything." ”

Zhan Zhao frowned and looked at Wu Yiwu.

Bai Yutang also felt that Wu Yiwu should be doing some kind of struggle in his heart at this time...... It seems that the two had a lot of grudges back then, at least in Wu Yicao's opinion, Boss Yan deserved to die, and Boss Yan also felt that he really deserved to die, but he was begging Wu Yicao to let him go.

Wu Yiwu was silent for a long time and nodded to Zhanzhao.

Feng Chuanfeng looked at Wu Yiwu in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it.

Wu Yixuan turned around and went back to rest first, Long Qiaoguang looked left and right, and then ran away.

Boss Yan let out a long sigh of relief, and then seemed to feel incredulous, "He really let me go......"

The wind shook his head and left.

The subordinates of Boss Yan who were ambushed at the door also evacuated.

Boss Yan pointed to the stone table, motioned for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to sit down, and then discussed in detail.

Boss Yan poured himself a cup of tea to suppress his shock, and looked at Zhanzhao, "You look very similar to your grandmother." ”

Zhan Zhao nodded, it was really old knowledge......

Boss Yan drank the tea and slowed down, and regained the appearance of the smiling businessman before, and said, "I have been so many years, I almost can't remember what the original Yan Wei was like, I saw him just now, and the feeling I felt back then, I was afraid to ......think about it."

"The king of thieves back then, did you stop doing the right thing?" Bai Yutang asked.

Yan Wei smiled, "The tone of your voice is very similar to that of Tianzun. ”

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, looking at Zhanzhao, what does that mean-my master is committing two in eleven and a half hours a day, I will be like him?

Zhanzhao is helpless, it is naturally like, especially the standing and sitting posture, which can only be distinguished by the color of the guò hair from a distance. Of course, Zhanzhao can still distinguish clearly, his rat does not have the inexplicable loneliness of Tianzun. Although Bai Yutang was also very quiet, even if Tianzun stood in a lively place, he would have a very lonely feeling, and he could be found out at a glance in the noisy crowd.

"Who was that old man just now?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Most of the people in my house are over 80 years old, and they have to hold a funeral almost every day." Yan Wei smiled, "The group of old immortals who followed me back then and didn't die have passed away one by one...... People can't fight for time. ”

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he was suddenly slightly stunned...... He understands this feeling, and the old people in the Demon Palace are like this, when he was a child, he remembered that for a while for half a year, he would have a funeral almost every few days, and he was crying almost every day for a while. It was from that time that Zhanzhao deeply understood what life and death were all about.

Bai Yutang obviously felt the momentary pause of Zhan Zhaoqing, opened his mouth to interrupt, and asked Yan Wei, "How much do you know about the Jin family's murder?" The scammer who amassed money in Hangzhou back then was not your person? ”

The fifth master asked, while subconsciously taking a look at Zhanzhao, he saw that the depression that flashed in the cat's eyes disappeared, and he was relieved.

Yan Wei looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, who made brief eye contact, smiled faintly, and said, "Although I concealed my identity, what I told you before is true. ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at him.

"At the time, I wondered if I had done too much evil to cause my daughter to be like this." Yan Wei was helpless, "It wasn't until she married well that I felt God's favor." ”

"Do you know the Three-Headed Golden Top?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Yan Wei was slightly shocked, frowning at Zhanzhao, "Where did you see the three-headed Jintuo?" ”

"In the back mountain of the Jin family's old house." Zhan Zhao said, "A three-headed golden Buddha statue as high as a mountain, pure gold. ”

Yan Wei sat there with a shocked face, muttering to himself, "How is it possible...... I melted it with my own hands, but who cast it again? ”

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang heard this, they silently exchanged a look, and their eyes were a little relieved - after checking for so long, they were finally able to know the origin of the three-headed golden top.

……

In the small courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion.

The fourth child sat on the stone table and watched the little pony groom.

The courtyard was brightly lit, and Bao Yan and the others were walking on their horses, and one or two began to tremble all over their bodies without standing for half a cup of tea, staggering from side to side.

Tianzun sat at the stone table, holding a small teapot and shook his head.

Yin Hou was also puzzled, "How difficult is this, why can't you stand steadily?" ”

Xiao Liangzi pouted, "It's a weak chicken!" ”

Outside the door, Lin Xiao walked in...... Master Bao always felt that it was a bit dangerous for Lin Fuzi and Lin Xiao to live alone, so he sent someone to take the two of them over to live together in the afternoon.

Entering the door, Lin Xiao still held a scroll of paintings in his hand and gave it to Tianzun.

Tianzun opened it and smiled-Lin Xiao knew that Tianzun's Xuemei picture had been sprayed with blood and pumpkin soup before, so he painted him again.

Lin Fuzi also took a walk with Master Bao after eating a full meal, looking at the staggering scholars, and shook his head helplessly.

Chen Xing'er and Crescent Moon held the washed clothes and went from house to house, opened the door of the Meow Meow Tower and entered, Lin Xiao was sitting facing the door, and saw a big painting hanging on the wall of the living room in the Meow Meow Building.

Lin Xiao walked over and took a closer look, and saw that it was a picture of a hundred cats...... I drew a lot of cats, vividly.

Lin Xiao looked at it for a long time, then turned around and asked, "Who painted this painting?" ”

The little fourth son glanced at it and said, "It was painted in vain." ”

Lin Xiao was a little surprised, "Is Bai Yutang so good at painting?" ”

Chen Xing'er was tidying up the cabinet and said with a smile, "My young master is both civil and military, not an ordinary civil and military master, but the kind of civil and military who can be examined." ”

Bao Yan and Gongsun both nodded to help testify, and it was indeed possible.

The little fourth son saw Tianzun twist his face, so he asked curiously, "Zunzun, why don't you lock the small black room for nothing?" ”

"Little dark house?" Zama was so tired that the group of scholars looked at it curiously.

Tianzun hurriedly covered the mouth of the little fourth son, and then pouted, "Hmph! He was willing to paint a cat for the cat cub of the old ghost family, but he refused to paint a portrait of me. ”

Xiao Sizi blinked.

Waiting for the sky.

"Huh?" Crescent Moon wondered, "The young master has painted it......"

Tianzun blinked and looked over, "Is there any?" ”

Chen Xing'er nodded, "I also saw it when I was cleaning up the house." ”

So, the two girls ran into the room to help rummage.

Tianzun squinted his eyes and leaned towards the door of the meow tower.

The little fourth son was also curious to follow the past.

"This!" Chen Xing'er found a brocade box and opened it...... There was a scroll inside, so I brought it to Tianzun to see.

Tianzun took it in his hand, and was still a little suspicious, "Yutang painted it?" My portrait? ”

"We happened to enter the house when Lord Zhan saw it!" As she spoke, Yue'er smiled as she spoke, "Master Zhan obviously opened it on purpose and was discovered by us, probably because the young master didn't show it to you after drawing it." ”

Tianzun wrinkled his nose and hesitated, "He didn't paint me as an ugly monster, did he?" ”

Yin Hou was speechless, "Don't you just open it and take a look?" ”

Tianzun thought about it, opened it with a "brush" sound, and then immediately closed it with a "brush" sound.

Everyone couldn't react - the action was so fast.

Tianzun glanced at it again, then rolled it, stuffed the scroll into Chen Xing'er's hand, and muttered, "Children's things." With that, he went to the kitchen to find a drink.

Xiao Sizi looked up at Tianzun walking by, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little obvious......

Everyone in the courtyard looked at each other.

Yin Hou stretched out his hand and beckoned to Chen Xing'er, which means - I'll take a look.

Chen Xing'er handed the scroll to Yin Hou, who opened it with a "brush" sound......

I saw that the painting was a snowy scene, which can be said to be a heavy snowfall, and this kind of snow has only been seen on the Tianshan Mountains. In the snow, a plum tree is blooming, and on the trunk, Tianzun is yawning...... There was a thick layer of snow around him, but there was not a single snowflake on him, and his silver hair hung from the branches, drifting gently in the snow wind......

Everyone couldn't help laughing, this yawning looked too similar to Tianzun, and it was worthy of being painted by Bai Yutang...... The fragrance of plum is almost smelling.

Gongsun asked curiously, "How tall is this plum tree?" Why does it feel like you're looking up? ”

The little fourth son clapped his hands, "It seems oh! He likes to sit on a tree and yawn, especially when it's snowing. ”

Yin Hou accepted the painting and smiled, the perspective of the painting should be about the same height as the little fourth son, this is the earliest Tianzun in Bai Yutang's memory. In the vast snow of the Tianshan Mountains, the old ghost probably sat on the tree like this, yawning and watching Bai Yutang practice.

"Ugh." On the side, Jiu Niang sighed enviously, "Why didn't you teach Zhaozhao to paint when you were a child?" ”

Granny Heishui snorted and took a sip of tea and said, "He jumps up and down all day like a cat, where can he sit." ”

"Cats also have paintings!" The little fourth son suddenly spoke.

And all the people looked at him, "Is there any?" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Sizi nodded, "When I was painting that day, the cat borrowed a pen and paper next to me to draw it, and after the painting was completed, it was said that it was a masterpiece to be framed." ”

Yin Hou was curious, "What did he paint?" ”

Xiao Sizi said, "I didn't see it, he ran away after painting." ”

Yin Hou squinted, and before he could speak, Jiu Niang and Heishui Mother-in-law rushed into the meow building, and the momentum of turning over the boxes and cabinets shocked Xiao Wu and Xiao Mi who were napping ran out.

It didn't take long for the two to really find a brocade box, which was wrapped in several layers of silk and helped with a lot of rope. Hong Jiuniang and Granny Heishui looked at each other and smiled-it should have been Zhan Zhao's doing! When he was a child, he had to hide everything and tie it into a dumpling like this.

The two came out with the brocade box and untied the rope.

Gongsun crossed his arms and asked Zhao Pu, who was completely ignoring everyone and sitting to wipe the new pavilion, "Is it okay to look at it secretly like this?" ”

Zhao Pu stretched out his hand and touched his head, what does that mean - what's the matter, let the old man be happy.

The two aunts opened the brocade box, and there were two picture scrolls inside, one large and one small.

Hong Jiuniang reached out and took out the small one, opened it and closed it immediately, the action was the same as Tianzun's.

Yin Hou was speechless, "What are you drawing?" Take a look! ”

Hong Jiuniang handed the scroll over, Yin Hou opened the scroll and took a look, almost squirting out a mouthful of tea...... Is his cat really a painting painted with a cat's paws, and he is a civil and military all-rounder, what is this painting?

The little fourth son also leaned over to take a look, and made a "poof".

Everyone gathered to take a look, and saw that Zhanzhao had drawn a big white mouse, so fat that he couldn't walk, and his expression was still very arrogant.

Yin Hou couldn't laugh and shook his head.

Lin Yehuo glanced at the mouse, "Oh, Zhanzhao's painting style is so rude......"

"Actually, it's pretty good." Bao Yan touched his chin, "This mouse looks like Big Brother Bai." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, it was indeed a little like ......

"What about the big roll?" Gongsun pointed to the big scroll and asked, "This scroll looks so long!" ”

Hong Jiuniang and Granny Heishui picked it up, hit it horizontally, and opened the scroll......

The scroll was pulled away little by little, it was really long, and it was not finished after four or five meters......

Yin Hou looked at the painting and was stunned.

Jiuniang also glanced down, and saw that on the scroll, there were portraits one by one, Gongsun glanced at it roughly, "There must be more than three hundred, there must be ......"

Yin Hou walked over, looked carefully, and saw that although the painting was not good, but the painting was very careful, the first painting was Yin Hou, and then the portraits of everyone in the Demon Palace, the expression and form were very accurate, at least at a glance you could see who the painting was.

On the side of each person's portrait, the date of birth, hometown, favorite things, personal deeds, etc., and some of them have passed away, and the time of death and the place of burial are also written.

At the end of the scroll, Zhan Zhao drew himself in, and at the end of the scroll, there were four big characters domineering - the genealogy of the Demon Palace!

These four words are written by Zhanzhao at a glance, and the trend of the pen is similar to his Juque's swordsmanship, which is soft at first glance, and the trend is vigorous and sharp, and the sword qi is compelling.

When Yin Hou saw the last four words "Demon Palace Genealogy", he laughed, got up, and went to Tianzun to drink.

Mother-in-law Heishui nodded, the palace master hadn't been so happy for a while, and when she turned around, she saw that Hong Jiuniang was crying her nose, and Mother-in-law Heishui was helpless, "I'm old, why are I crying again!" ”

Jiu Niang was like a child, wiping her face while smoking, and the black water mother-in-law was helpless, so she dragged her to fetch water to wash her face, leaving everyone to open their mouths and continue to worship the genealogy of the Demon Palace.

"Wow...... A lot of legendary characters! "Lin Yehuo is also the first time to know that there are so many people in the Demon Palace.

"I've heard of this!" Ouyang was excited, "I thought it was a legend!" ”

Zou Liang also nodded, there are a few who have passed away, and the name should have scared many people to death if it was said decades ago.

Gongsun looked at the scroll and said to Zhao Pu, who was taking care of himself, "Many people who once dominated the world in martial arts have become legendary characters, it won't be long before they will be forgotten, and in a few years, maybe no one will remember the existence of the Demon Palace......"

"People are always forgotten." Zhao Pu smiled faintly, "This scroll, plus a lonely tomb, can prove that the legend really existed." So, what's the use of Scenery I? It's better to have someone who can keep you in mind and draw what you look like, it's precious. ”
