Chapter 21: The Fog

Sun Xuan was not afraid, and said with a smile:

"Little Immortal Master, please don't be impatient. Sun really didn't know, but there was one person...... Probably knows. ”

Xintianyou stared at him coldly and didn't squeak.

Sun Xuan suddenly felt a chill attacking, and he didn't dare to sell Guanzi, so he sped up his speech.

"It is said that fifteen years ago, that is, on the third day of the fourth month of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, it had just entered summer. There was a torrential rain in the morning, and the heat was a little less. Sun was sweating and busy all day, and he hurried home at dusk. On the way, I met a scribe, and I saw that he was about forty years old, and his face was white. Wearing a green ribbon on his head, holding a feather fan in his hand, covering his feet in a moon-white robe, and tying a silk silk ...... around his waist"

Xintianyou listened and analyzed, and it felt unusual.

This passage is very smooth, and the words are elegant, quite like memorizing lines. Either there is a draft, or it has been pondered for a long time. Otherwise, how can it be said at a mere level?

The scribe stopped Sun and asked if it was the head of the team in Qiyun County. Gossip with him all the way, and unconsciously follow into the grove. The scribe stopped and asked if there was a bloody case in the Valley of the Sheep Intestine yesterday, in which a dozen people died. I said no way. It's too close to the county town, at most there is a white wolf who beats a stuffy stick, and picks on the single guest. If there is such a big case, and the arrester has to break his leg, Sun will definitely know about it......"

Xin Tianyou couldn't help but interject and asked, "Did the scribe tell you the origin of your name?" ”

"No, Sun didn't dare to ask."

"If you think about it, do you remember the numbers wrong?"

Sun Shu scratched his head and said:

"There can be no mistake, these words have been going over and over in my head for sixteen years, how can I remember them wrong? The little immortal master said that more than twenty people died, and the scribe said that there were more than a dozen...... More than a dozen, more than twenty, and there are about ten people in the middle...... Later, there were reports of missing people, and the total number of people was less than 10...... Qingshui Township ...... Where did I go?

"You said that fifteen years ago in the summer, you met a scribe."

"Yes, yes, look at the memory of the little old man...... I saw that the scribe was wearing a green ribbon on his head, holding a feather fan in his hand, covering his feet with a moon-white robe, and wearing a silk silk around his waist. When he glanced at him, the little old man followed in a daze......"

Nima, it's been a long time since you've talked to someone, and the car is rolling and talking.

Xintianyou didn't dare to interrupt anymore, for fear that the old man would make a fragment.

“…… The scribe asked about the transfer of personnel in the past two days, thought for a while, stretched out his palm towards the sky, and then grabbed the next ......"

Sun Xuan's neck retracted involuntarily, and he paused before continuing:

“…… Boom...... The leaves fell like rain, leaving only bare branches. The leaves that have just entered the summer are sturdy, unlike when the autumn wind rises, which can shake off a large pile. Even if you use a basket to pick it, you can't get it so clean. Seeing that the villain was frightened, the scribe took a hook from his waist and handed it over, saying that it was worth several hundred taels of silver. I must not leave Qiyun City from now on, and wait for a little immortal master to come and inquire about the bloody case of Sheep Gut Valley more than ten years later. ”

Xintianyou noticed that Sun Xuan's sitting posture was relaxed, his heartbeat was calm, and his eyes were not wandering, and he did not avoid ......

Explain that he is not lying.

But when he heard the last sentence, the cold hairs on the young man's body exploded, and a cool breath penetrated from the heavenly spirit cover to the soles of his feet.

Damn, someone who really predicts the future is a man like a nervous person!

This person has deep wisdom, strong spells, and strong spiritual power, and he controls Sun Xuan with just one glance.

“…… The scribe asked me to tell the little immortal master to memorize a poem. 'I have a scoop of wine to soothe the dust.' Thousands of miles of guests, ask you where you are'. Then go to the Qiyun Restaurant on Suzaku Avenue in Wangcheng, and naturally understand everything.

"When the villain went home, he was afraid that he would forget the verses, so he spent ten copper plates and asked the bookkeeper to write them down and recite them in the morning and evening. More than ten years have passed, and the villain has been waiting, and he does not dare to leave for a day. The hook left by the scribe was a rare sheep fat jade, which really cost two hundred and fifty taels of silver. At that time, the price of the county town was not expensive, so the villain bought a new house and set up a shop for his family to do some small business. Slowly accumulating some money, plus housing prices have been rising ......"

Xin Tianyou patiently listened to the history of his grandson's fortune, and saw that there was really nothing to ask, so he threw down a sentence, "You can go to the countryside to hug your grandson", and left directly.

Who knows, the stubborn old man who was stubborn before actually knelt down "plopped", choked and kowtowed:

"Thank you for the gift of Immortal Master! The villain has not eaten well for more than ten years, slept badly, and is frightened, so he is waiting for this day. I didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, for fear of implicating my family, so I sent them to Niujiaotang on the outskirts of the southern part of the city...... Ah, wait a minute......"

Xintianyou stood at the door, turned around and asked:

"Is there anything else you haven't said?"

Sun Shuo trotted forward, wiped the cloudy old tears with his sleeve, and said:

After the scribe left, the villain used the connections of the public to investigate and secretly visit, and found that no one knew that something had happened to the Sheep Intestine Valley. The next day, I went to the scene to investigate. But yesterday it rained so much that everything was washed away and no clues were found. It's as if that case doesn't exist at all. However, since the second half of the year, the government has been reported missing one after another.

"Among them, the most terrifying thing is that the old lady Xia of Qingshui Township reported to the official with her in-laws. Mrs. Xia relied on a few acres of thin fields to support her son Xia Xing to study all the way. In the first year of the Apocalypse, the twenty-two-year-old Xia Xingzhong Jinshi entered the Hanlin Academy and edited it for three years. He did not forget his roots, married a woman who grew up in the same village, and settled in the royal city.

"It is only 300 miles from the royal city to the county seat, and there is a spacious official road. It only takes one day to speed up the horse, and it doesn't take more than three days to walk slowly in a carriage. During the Spring Festival in the first three years, Xia Xing took his wife back to his hometown to visit his parents. Fifteen years ago, the Spring Festival, that is, the fourth year of the Apocalypse, did not come back.

The two in-laws didn't care, knowing that the official family was not idle during the holiday. The son is young, and it is the time to seek progress, and he should not always run home. But in the fifth year, Xia Xing didn't even have a letter. Seeing that autumn is deep again, will you be able to go back this year? The in-laws missed their son, so they asked someone to go to Wangcheng to inquire. It doesn't matter if you ask, it's a bolt from the blue.

"It turned out that on the first day of April of the first year, Xia Xing got a pair of twins. took leave to take his wife and children back to his hometown, so that his family could take care of them. Who knew that from that side, there was no news. After this case was reported to the authorities, it was not trivial. The villain listened to the master, Xia Xing was a Jishi in the first year, a review in the second year, and an editor in the third year, which belonged to the seventh grade. If you are released as an official, at least be a magistrate. In addition, being in the royal city, the building near the water is the first to get the moon, and the future is limitless.

"The county government sent people to investigate thoroughly, searched everywhere, and reported to the imperial court. But there was no trace of it, as if the family had disappeared out of thin air...... In addition to Xia Xing, other disappearance cases are also concentrated in the beginning of the summer of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, turning back from the direction of Wangcheng to the county town, and must pass through the Sheep Intestine Valley. There are those who do small business, those who visit relatives, and those who catch big cars......

"From Qiyun County through the Sheep Intestine Valley, we entered the boundary of Dengfeng County under the jurisdiction of Baisha King City. A year later, I heard that on the second day of the fourth month of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, there was a shocking bloody case in Xinji Racecourse. Dozens of people died, and bones were dug up from the ground. The criminal arrest in our county has not been able to solve the missing person case for a long time, and it has suffered a lot of boards. got the news, calculated that the time happened to be right, and hurried over.

"Who would have expected that the Dengfeng County Ya would not disclose the slightest situation at all. Although it is a county, it is under the jurisdiction of Wangcheng and is at the same level as Qiyun County. If you insist on accessing the file, you need to report it to the Criminal Department. A bunch of guys came back in a hurry, and finally they didn't get it. To this day, few people know what it was like back then......"

Waiting for the old man to stop, Xintianyou asked, what happened to the Xia family?

He knew that he must be one of the twins, and that the other missing people were dead passers-by that the Messenger had seen.

The scribe was right when he said that there were more than a dozen, and it was the three masked men who had fallen in the narrowest part of the valley of the sheep's intestines, a scholar, a young woman, a maid, a mother-in-law, a coachman, an infant baby, and four warriors in strong suits, a total of thirteen.

The Courier kept a piece of evidence that could prove his origins. But that thing is exactly what Xia Xing can't have.

On what basis did the scribe predict that a little immortal master would come to Sun Xuan more than ten years later?

Qiyun Restaurant, is it the way home, or a trap?

Sun continued:

"The two in-laws only have one only son, Xia Xing, and they are all disillusioned when they hear the news. He would rather die of illness than exchange his house for a decoction, saying that his son would one day come back with his daughter-in-law and grandson, and he could not find a home. The old house was entrusted to the in-laws, and the in-laws passed away a few years later, and the back is not very clear. ”

Xin Tianyou was silent for a while, then turned around to leave.

Sun Xuan hurriedly called, wait a minute.

Xintianyou was impatient and said, "What's the matter?" Can't you finish all at once? ”

The old man snorted and said: "This incident is quite strange, the little old man doesn't know whether it is true or not, so he doesn't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

"You just have to speak."

"That's right, the villain had been to the royal city a few years ago, and knew that Suzaku Avenue led directly to the royal palace, which was the most prosperous and prosperous area. Since the scribe left Qiyun Restaurant, the villain has more eyes. Anyone who goes to the royal city should ask about it. The strange thing is that I have asked no less than sixty or seventy people for more than ten years, but none of them know. The little old man doubted that the building was ...... Actually, it doesn't exist. ”

Xintianyou finally smiled slightly.

Seeing the old man's waist and white hair, he remembered that he pretended to be tough and called himself an old man, and later said that he changed his name to Sun, and finally became scared and turned back into a villain and a little old man, I couldn't help but feel a trace of pity and said:

"You've been waiting for sixteen years, and it's not easy. I have to thank ......"

Sun Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"I can't do it, I can't do it. The villain accepted the scribe's jade hook and was supposed to wait. ”

Xintian Tour:

"No, the jade hook is only worth what he entrusted him before, and I should thank you for what he said later. Aren't you afraid, I'll make a promise. Whoever dares to kill you, I will kill him. Whoever dares to kill your whole family, I will ...... Forget it, let's just kill him. ”

After speaking, he turned to leave.

Sun Xuan was stunned, crying and laughing. Belly slandered, isn't this to let the old man rest assured to die?

When I walked out of the fence door and looked, I could still see a human figure somewhere.
