Chapter Seventy-Two: The Flower of the Other Side
Li Shan arched his hand at Zhao Decai and said: "I will first take my family to my father's grave to put incense on the pillar, I hope that when I come back, I can see my family as before." Zhao Decai hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Please rest assured, the old man will let people clean up immediately." ”
The autumn breeze was bleak, and the sky was getting darker. Li's mother knelt in front of the grave and lit the paper money, and Li Shan supported her mother. "Xianggong, today is your death day, and I brought my son to see you. Did you see that? Your son has grown up and married such two daughters-in-law, Jinxi is already pregnant, if you bless Jinxi to give birth to a big fat boy to the Li family, the Li family will have a queen. I'm relieved. ”
Li Shan also kowtowed and said, "Dad, don't worry." I'll take care of my mother. Our old Li family will not decay, I will definitely clear your grievances for you and glorify the lintel of the Li family. Liu Ruyan and Su Jinxi also came over and kowtowed in front of the grave.
It was getting late, and Li Shan said, "Mother, it's not too early, let's go back." Mother Li touched her tears and nodded, "Well, let's go back." ”
When he got home, Zhao Decai had already asked people to restore all the things, moved out of the Li family, and waited at the door of the Li family, and when he saw Li Shan coming back, he stepped forward and said: "Li Gongzi, I have offended the old man a lot before, and I am very reluctant to go, I have prepared some wine and food at home and want to accompany Li Gongzi, I don't know if Li Gongzi can give in?" ”
Li Shan sneered in his heart, it is really inflammatory, knowing that you are strong, he will desperately stammer, if you are a poor worm, they will not take you in their eyes at all, they will only fall into the well. "Master Zhao, you don't have to think in vain. I can not blame the past, after all, you still borrowed a hundred taels of silver from me at the beginning, and the favor is compensated, from now on our well water does not interfere with the river water, okay? ”
Zhao Decai said with a smile: "Look at what you said, what does well water not do with river water." Before Xiao'er and Li Gongzi had a slight disagreement, they were both ignorant children. I've taught him a hard lesson. If Li Gongzi doesn't feel angry, I will let him take the blame. Our two families are not only in the same village, but also think that your uncle and I grew up playing with mud together. Count up to your grandfather and my father, but they are brothers who have worshipped the handle. But then your grandfather went to Chang'an, and there was less contact, but isn't our relationship here? Hey. ”
Li Shan listened to Zhao Decai's words, and felt funny in his heart, how could there be such a faceless person in the world. His tone turned cold and said, "Master Zhao, what I said just now may not be very clear. I'll say it one last time, I don't want to see anyone in your family from now on, and if you want to make any other decisions about me, I'd suggest you weigh yourself first. . After speaking, Li Shantou entered the house without looking back, and there was no need to be polite to this kind of person.
"Xianggong, my mother told you to go to the ancestral hall." Liu Ruyan called Li Shan. Li Shan nodded and walked towards the ancestral hall.
"Mother, are you looking for me?" Mother Li knelt on the futon, "Come here, my mother has something to say to you." Li Shan also knelt on the futon and kowtowed.
Mother Li took out a handkerchief from her arms and handed it to Li Shandao: "You are capable now, and my mother thinks that there are some things that should be known to you." This handkerchief is embroidered with a flower, and the origin of this flower is the murderer of your father. At that time, your father had a very good relationship with some poor people in the court, and before the Shenlong coup, Empress Wu was worried that someone wanted to overthrow her rule, so she vigorously investigated and rebelled against the party. Your father is under investigation. However, there was no conclusive evidence that your father had rebelled. But one night not long after, a group of masked masters broke into Li's house and killed your grandfather and father. No one in the Li family survived that night, and only I took you to hide in the dark well and escaped. At that time, Wei Niang saw that one of the masked people was injured by the nursing home, and there was such a pattern on his shoulder. ”
Li Shan took the handkerchief, saw the flower on it, and suddenly remembered the prodigal son Yunfei that night, "Don't say I didn't pay" and then threw over a token, which was engraved with one such flower. "Mother, do you know the origin of the flower? Did my father offend anyone back then? is still involved in some disputes, if it weren't for the shocking secret, who would dare to kill the door at the feet of the Son of Heaven. It is impossible to be so ruthless because of a trumped-up crime of treason. ”
Mother Li shook her head: "Your father did act a little mysteriously during that time, but I know that your father would never do anything rebellious. Usually, although your father is a bit upright in the court and has offended some colleagues, it is all a trivial matter, so it will not be like this. ”
There are no definite clues, but Li Shan feels that his father's death must not be so simple, and there are probably more things involved behind it. What is the origin of this flower, and who is the person who gave me the waist card? Did he do it on purpose, or was it just a coincidence? Li Shan felt stubborn and had no clue. It seems that he still has to figure out the origin of this flower, and Li Shan believes that the waist card must have something to do with the killer who killed his father back then.
"I have asked everywhere about the origin of this flower, but I have asked all your father's friends in the court, and no one knows the origin of this flower. In Buddhism, this flower is called the other side flower, also known as Manju Sawa, which means the red flower that blooms in the heavenly realm. Legend has it that this flower is the flower of grafting, and its fragrance has magical powers and can evoke memories of the deceased. This flower has leaves but no flowers, flowers and no leaves, and curses those who love each other to never see each other. Organizations that use such words as logos must also be full of darkness and evil. Mother Li's expression was as usual, and she couldn't see the fluctuations in her emotions, but the hand holding the rosary trembled slightly.
"Son, my mother told you about this today, not necessarily to let you avenge your father. Your father and mother's greatest wish is that you are safe. Now that you have grown up, my mother believes in you, and she has her own opinions on many things. No matter what you do, you have to promise your mother that you must ensure your own safety, you know? ”
Li Shan nodded and said, "Mother, the child is measured, don't worry." ”
"Well, there you go. I'm talking to your dad for a while. ”
Li Shan put the handkerchief in his sleeve, slowly exited the door, and on the way back, he met the Dongyang Taoist who was practicing martial arts in the courtyard. Now the Dongyang Daoist will stand under the moonlight for an hour every day, according to him, this can gather the essence of the stars and the moon to improve his internal strength.
Li Shan stepped forward and said, "Dongyang Daoist, you are well-informed, I don't know if you recognize this flower?" Dongyang Daoist put away his posture, took the handkerchief and glanced at it: "This kind of flower is called the other side flower, what is the young master asking about this?" Li Shandao: "Do you know that there are any forces or sects on the rivers and lakes that have this kind of flower as a logo?" ”
Dongyang Daoist shook his head: "No, but I've seen my master's once hold such a waist card." Li Shan had already given up after listening to the first half of the sentence, but the second half of the sentence was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Li Shan said excitedly: "What waist card, is it made of pure gold, and there is a 'ground' engraved here?" ”
"It's not the word 'earth', it's the word 'heaven'. Generally speaking, Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang is a standard for classification. The word 'heaven' should be one level higher than the word 'earth'. ”
Li Shan probably understood what this meant: "That means that your master used to be a senior member of this organization?" Did your master say anything about this organization, and now you have a way to find your master? ”
Dongyang Daoist still shook his head: "The master didn't tell us about this waist card, and now we can't find the master, and the master hasn't been back to Taiyi for two years." I really didn't have a way to get in touch with the master. Li Shan sighed, it seems that if you want to find out about this matter, you still have to go to the Sword Pavilion to find that prodigal son Yunfei.
