Chapter 171: Deep Mountain Dao Temple

He had never seen such a bright moon in Lucheng, bright and large, round and close, hanging low in a position that was in line with his sight, as if within reach. Even those with poor eyesight don't have to worry about their feet, the whole world is like a layer of silver paint, and even a stone that is in the way of the eye can be seen.

This is the legendary White Night – everything is the same color, showing a sense of unity, tranquility and harmony.

But he had no intention of appreciating it, nor could he feel the peace that the white night brings. He paced back and forth, looking inside the eight-meter-wide iron gate, where the straight path led to He Chong's father's residence.

He's been wandering around here for nearly half an hour, waiting, to be exact. Every gust of wind that blew without a way or a place to go, he couldn't help but pray secretly.

After a while, there was an engine sound from inside the door, and as far as the eye could see, He Chong drove out. The iron door opens automatically under the power drive, and the bright lights suddenly pierce the illusion.

For some reason, he had a sense of foreboding.

"Get in the car." He Chong rolled down the window and beckoned, and he walked around the front of the car to sit in the passenger seat, and before his ass could sit down, he couldn't wait to ask questions.

"How?"

He Chong shook his head, disappointed with worry, worried with anger.

"Sure enough, I wasn't there, and I didn't say hello to home."

"Will there be any entertainment, or where to play? I guess it's just a coincidence......"

He Chong wrinkled his nose and denied it: "If it's a social interaction, the phone shouldn't be unreachable." ”

"Your house is as big as a park, have you looked for it, will you have come back?"

"If her car isn't there, the people will definitely not be there."

Hearing He Chong say this, Song Yingchen, who originally had a glimmer of hope for the situation, was suddenly deflated.

"If your mother really has something to do with Chiba, what should I do?"

He Chong was also invaded by this worry, and he was not optimistic at all. He tried to recall what Shin Mu had said in Chiba's presence, hoping to find clues from them, but it was almost to no avail.

He asked, "By the way, did Chiba say anything about that cosmos brooch?" ”

Song Yingchen spread her hands and said that she didn't know much: "She only listened to some fur, and I didn't know the specifics, and I even helped analyze which one of the people in the photo was exchanging gold jewelry with her mother." ”

"I was scared enough to see my mom in the photo, she never mentioned that she had worked as a goldsmith in Clearwater Town. I think she must have had something to do with Chiba's mother. ”

"Don't think too much about it just yet, it's important to find someone."

"I'll just say that there is no such coincidence in the world, Chiba suddenly appeared in my life, there must be another reason for that."

He Chong slammed the steering wheel anxiously, unable to tell what he felt in his heart. Yang Qianye was with him to find clues to revenge, and to put it bluntly, it was to use. So her words are not an excuse for breaking up, but a confession of her true heart. But why didn't she continue to use it, and chose to change her mind on the day she got her marriage certificate?

The meaning is simple, but the realization is not pleasant to him at the moment.

Whether he should hate, or whether he should continue to love, he does not know. Turning his head, he found that Song Yingchen was also a little distracted, so he asked, "What, what do you think?" ”

Song Yingchen obviously has something unspeakable.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ There was a mysterious man helping her, and she came to Lucheng at the behest of that mysterious person. ”

"Mystery man! I'll go, what's the plot? He Chong was stunned.

Thinking that his mother was also involved, Song Yingchen just shook his head: "I only know this, she didn't tell me too much." ”

"Looks like she's not saying nothing to you." He Chong deliberately made a joke, but found that it didn't help the tension, "It's not too early, we must find her quickly and don't be in any danger." ”

"Danger! What are the dangers? Take 10,000 steps back, even if it's the same as we think, doesn't your mother sit down and talk to her openly, talk about the past clearly, and resolve any grievances with a sincere attitude? ”

Song Yingchen raised questions one after another and raised his voice one after another, which once again aggravated He Chong's anxiety.

"Hey, you don't understand, I don't know how to say it, anyway, I'm hairy."

"Does your mother have an underworld background? She won't take Chiba, right? ”

Far from being displeased, He Chong replied bluntly: "It's hard to say." A lot of things have happened lately, and my perception of some people, including my family, has changed dramatically. Remember the last time I was kidnapped? ”

Song Yingchen nodded.

"That's a revenge, where did the revenge come from, it's not my family who made it with others. Your family is also in business, who dares to say that you haven't done something unconscionable. ”

His words made Song Yingchen gasp.

"Could it be that your mother is the enemy that Chiba is looking for?"

"Fart, how is it possible!" He Chong shouted loudly, and his ten fingers clenched the steering wheel, "Screenwriter Song, find someone first and then slowly conceive your script." ”

"I think it's better to call the police."

He Chong pondered slowly, and slowly opened his eyes after five seconds.

"It's an exaggeration to call the police, even if my mother really has a grudge against Chiba, I still hope to solve it privately. I believe that no matter how impulsive she is, she won't hurt Chiba. And if it's just a misunderstanding, we may call the police to startle the snake, and the person who really harmed Chiba's mother may take the opportunity to escape. ”

"You're the one who writes the script...... So where do we find it? ”

"Let's go, there's a place we have to see."

After speaking, He Chong stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.

……

There is a Taoist temple on the mountainside in the north of Lushan, which has been in tatters for decades, and the incense is not at its peak.

There is an old Taoist in the temple who knows the art of health preservation, not only has a childish face and is in good spirits, but also takes care of the big and small matters in the Taoist temple. It is rumored that he is a deformed person who has opened the eyes of heaven and can break the valley and hold his breath, so many outsiders who want to prolong their lives come to ask for fairy magic. It just so happened that he also wanted to raise funds for the Taoist temple, so he recognized a few rich and noble people as lay disciples, asked for handouts in his spare time, worshiped God and worshiped incense, and took those people to cultivate themselves in the valley every eight of the twenty-four festivals. Xin Mu is one of them, and his status is the most noble. She bought a piece of mountain land behind the Taoist temple and built a courtyard there, which became the dojo of Bigu Qingxiu.

He Chong once accompanied her once, because she couldn't stand the smoke of incense wax and the whimsical words of the Taoist priests, she said that she would stay for a few days but returned home on the same day.

He had only a vague impression of the location, but he remembered one important pointβ€”there was no cell phone signal in the dojo.

Xinmu and Chiba's phone was not turned off, but was unreachable all night, so he targeted there.

The car drove cautiously on the winding mountain road, but the speed was not slow, and both men wanted to reach their destination quickly. If Chiba was really there, they would scramble to get her out.

Bring it out or rescue it, to be honest, He Chong has no score in his heart. He had heard many rumors about He Zhanting and his wife in the outside world, and if those rumors were true, maybe the He family's prestige would immediately become notorious.

I made two mistakes and finally found another courtyard.

"Shh He quietly turned off his headlights and pulled the car to a stop.

Song Yingchen also saw it, and the lights were on in the courtyard, so he opened the car door and prepared to get out of the car.

He Chong stopped him, and the reason was very complicated.

"Wait for me here, I'll go in."

Song Yingchen thought it made sense, so he stayed in the car according to his wishes.

The temperature in the mountains was lower than the outside world, and as soon as he got out of the car, an eerie wind penetrated his neck, and He Chong couldn't help but shiver. He was actually terrified, just like the last time he was trapped in a deep well, there was a kind of hopeless helplessness.

Song Yingchen just asked Xin Mu if he had an underworld background, which was actually very tactful, in essence, it meant that Xin Mu would do something illegal or even harmful for his own interests.

Absolutely. Since he was a child, many people have indirectly and directly told him that his biological mother Chu Yuelin was killed by Xin Mu, and he is convinced of this. But he never hated Xin Mu, because hatred can't solve the problem, it will only cause trouble for himself, his father, and this family.

Approaching the courtyard step by step, his heart was about to jump out, if Chiba was really brought here by Xin Mu, everything would not need to be explained.

If that's the case, he will definitely hate Xinmu, and he already has a similar feeling just by imagining. He couldn't help but shudder and shrunk his neck.

The door creaked open, and the light on the wall was on, and there was no movement.

Bypassing the light wall, passing through the small courtyard, to the front of the main house, looking through the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window, a familiar figure was sitting inside.

"My good son is here." It's the voice of Xinmu.

For some reason, he felt the urge to turn his head and run away, because Xin Mu's voice was colder than ice.

But he didn't flinch after all, pushed the door open and walked in.

"Mom......" he heard his voice tremble a little.

Xin Mu sat on the side of the Eight Immortals Table and pointed to the chair opposite.

"Sit."

He sat down and swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

"Last time, you wanted to come and see what Bigu was, but you couldn't stand the pampered young master's style, and I thought the conditions here were not good. Let's see how it is, it's not as bad as it seems. ”

Xin Mu smiled, like starting a relaxed small talk with him.

"Mom, did you get into your car when Chiba left?"

Xin Mu raised his chin at him and did not deny it.

"Yes, goodbye is also a friend, you shouldn't turn your face when you break up. If you don't want to give it away, let me meet it, so you have to give her a ride. ”

"She's gone, can't be contacted, you know ......"

"You haven't told me how it is here, are you?" Xin Mu looked around the room triumphantly, with an unfathomable expression on his face.

"It's good, Mom has always been demanding." He said perfunctorily.

"So, I'll invite Miss Yang to stay for two days." Xin Mu picked up the kung fu teacup and took a sip, "You and her have parted ways, I don't even have to ask you for instructions on this little thing, right?" ”

He Chong instantly clenched his fists.

"Where is she, I want to see her!"

Xin Mu just laughed and didn't respond.

He took out his mobile phone and put the photo of the "Twelve Golden Flowers" that Song Yingchen passed to him on the table, Xin Mu just glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth rose.

"It's a showdown, right, okay, then let's see if you, the hero, can save the beauty tonight."

The courtyard was long and large, and he was not familiar with it, and there was no breath of Chiba in this room. He knew that it wouldn't work, so he sat back patiently.

"What the hell is going on, what is the relationship between you and Chiba's mother, what happened, and what grievances do you have?"

"You're all here, so why do you knowingly ask?"

"You really hurt her mother back then?"

"Her mother is a slut, I hate sluts the most in my life, you should know."

Xin Mu emphasized the word "should", the meaning of which he naturally understood, and when he heard such harsh words, he lowered his head.

"The grievances of the previous generation are the affairs of the previous generation, and it has nothing to do with her, so why don't you forgive it."

This should have been said to her...... You don't know what she's approaching you for, do you? Xin Mu glared angrily, as if he was reproaching him for luring the wolf into the room without knowing right and wrong, "Pretending to be nice to you and moving into the house, sneaking into your father's study and my bedroom again and again, isn't it just to find a chance to take revenge." It's really scary to think about it, to put some poison in the bowl and hide a needle in the pillow, my life has already been confused. ”

She just wanted to find out the truth and figure out what happened back then, and she didn't think about who she was going to kill. It's a crime for you to hide her indiscriminately, it's called restricting personal freedom, you know! ”

"I just want to break the law, I'm going to kill her. Who made me unable to tolerate a slut in my eyes for the rest of my life, not only Mo Lianzhi, but also Chu Yuelin! ”

Hearing the words "Chu Yuelin", He Chong unconsciously straightened his waist, and his heart trembled. For many years, he never dared to explore the forbidden area belonging to his biological mother, and even if he adhered to the instinct of hitting his mother, he never woke up easily. But at this moment, when Xin Mu took the initiative to declare it, he fell into deep nostalgia and pity for his biological mother. Although his memory of Chu Yuelin was like a blank sheet of paper, he still instinctively gritted his teeth and hated the woman opposite.

"Why are you so bad!"

"Bad? Hmph, everyone in the world can say I'm bad, but you're not qualified. Xin Mu sneered twice and cocked Erlang's legs, "At the beginning, the surname Chu was entangled with your Lao Tzu, which almost broke our family apart, but it was I who disposed of her in time and accepted you, and you have the life of Young Master Kuo for more than 20 years." Otherwise, you wild seed would have frozen to death on the streets. I really regret that I wasn't bad enough and not ruthless enough, otherwise you wouldn't have dared to talk to me so presumptuously today! ”

"Even if anyone does something wrong, you shouldn't take someone's life, your conscience has been eaten by dogs!"

"It's her damn it, men all over the street don't look for a husband who doesn't seduce me."

He Chong smashed his fist on the table of the Eight Immortals, and Xin Mu's teacup was also shaken.

"Shut up! I don't want to talk to you about this today, hurry up and hand over Chiba and don't force me! ”

Xin Mu was not afraid of his anger at all, but Yu Ya You shook Erlang's legs.

"He Chong, you don't know women, women and women are killed only by you and me, there is no net to open up, I did all this because those sluts forced me. Do you think I just let Yang Qianye go, and she will let me go in turn? She would like to eat my flesh, skin me, and drink my blood...... Therefore, some things must be handled steadily and ruthlessly, and if I show mercy to the sluts, they will have to seek revenge on me when they turn back. You don't want to see my stepmom get hurt either, huh? ”

There was no guilt in her eyes, but a sense of superiority and the joy of victory.
