Chapter 21: Bad News
At first glance, when I heard the bad news of Xiang Tianwen's death, I only felt a "boom" in my head, like five thunderbolts, and the whole person was stunned.
Seriously, I am grateful to ask this person to the sky, after all, he has spent a lot of effort and taught me a lot of skills; But to talk about how deep my relationship with him is, it must be an exaggeration, after all, I have only been with him for a month, and the process of getting along is not a pleasant memory.
But I can be sure that Xiang Tianwen's ability is definitely a master among masters, otherwise Emperor Xudu would not have recommended him as my master. But I don't know how deep his kung fu is, and it can basically be described by the words "unfathomable".
How could such a master die?
Obviously, although Xiang Tianwen is old, he will definitely not die from nature.
Who could kill such a master?
Guo Hongjin simply squatted on the ground and cried.
"How the hell did Master die?" I heard my own voice asking.
Guo Hongjin only knows how to cry, but he doesn't know how to answer me.
"Don't cry, it's still a fart to cry now!" I roared angrily, "I ask you, how did Master die?!" ”
Guo Hongjin was frightened by my roar, and suddenly didn't dare to cry anymore, stood up and sobbed and said, "After I separated from you in the town that day, I rushed back to Yuanbao Village early in the morning, wanting to tell Master what we saw and ask him what was going on. But when I returned to Yuanbao Village, Master was already dead, and I didn't see Master for the last time, and I didn't know how he died. ”
"Didn't you find any clues?" I say.
"Nope." Guo Hongjin said.
I said, "Didn't you ask the rest of the village if they had found anything suspicious?" ”
Guo Hongjin said: "I went to ask all the people in the village, and they didn't know that the master was dead, I went to ask them, and they found out." They haven't seen any suspicious people either, and for so many years, only a stranger like you has ever been to our Yuanbao Village. ”
I inexplicably became even more angry, glaring at Guo Hongjin and yelling, "Then did you come here specifically to find me to avenge your master?!" ”
"No, of course not." Guo Hongjin was yelled at by me, and immediately shrank into a ball, and said weakly: "Of course I know that you won't harm Master." Master also told me before that you are someone you can trust, even if people all over the world can't trust you, I can still trust you. ”
Hearing this, my anger suddenly vanished, and I couldn't imagine that Xiang Tianwen would say this to his apprentice behind his back.
As a result, I became even more sad, and tears welled up in my eyes.
Guo Hongjin continued: "Master died so inexplicably, I don't know what to do, so I have to come to you. Fortunately, Master told me your address before, so I was able to find this place. But I haven't even been out of the house, so I came here for so many days. ”
The man was chattering, but thankfully he was able to speak more clearly.
"Are there any scars on Master's body or anything? Where was his fatality? I asked, slowing my tone as little as I could.
Guo Hongjin said: "No, the master has no scars on his body, and he looks like he is asleep." ”
My anger couldn't help but rise again. This guy doesn't know anything, you've been studying with Master for so long, where have you learned?!
But looking at Guo Hongjin's pitiful appearance, I couldn't bear to be angry, so I held back my anger and said, "Okay, don't worry. I'll prepare it right here, and I'll go back tomorrow morning to see if it's going to happen. ”
"Hmm." Guo Hongjin obediently agreed, handed me the bag in his hand, and said, "This is what Master asked me to give to you." ”
"Master asked you to hand it over to me?" I said strangely, "Didn't you say that when you met Master, he was already dead?" ”
Guo Hongjin said: "This is what Master explained to me before, he said that if he died inexplicably, let me ...... Let me leave this to you. ”
I hesitated a little and took the bag handed over by Guo Hongjin.
In this way, in fact, Xiang Tianwen had already expected such an end? Then, in this bag, there should be some clues about the murderer.
I looked around and decided to go back to my room and look into it again.
"That ......," Guo Hongjin said weakly, "can you get me something to eat?" I haven't eaten in three days. ”
"Haven't eaten in three days?" I was taken aback and said, "Why did you not eat for three days?" ”
Guo Hong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "The shuttle bus I was on overturned, and when I was eating in a small restaurant, someone wanted to kill me again......"
I couldn't help but be startled again: "You said someone on the road was going to kill you?" ”
Guo Hongjin said: "Yes, there have been several times, and I finally escaped. Later, I didn't dare to eat in a restaurant or stay in a hostel. ”
I couldn't help clenching my fists and pinching a cold sweat for Guo Hongjin.
Obviously, someone didn't want Guohong to come in and look for me, and wanted to kill him. It's a miracle that this guy was able to find me. It's not surprising that you haven't eaten for three days.
I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Knife ......" Guo Hongjin couldn't help but remind me, and swallowed another mouthful of saliva.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I hurriedly said, "Come with me, cook some noodles and eat them first." Let's go back to Yuanbao Village together tomorrow. ”
Guo Tingting, Lin Miaoyin, Xiao Hongye and others were waiting on the steps in front of the door.
"Wang Yan, cook a bowl of noodles for my senior brother." I said as I walked inside, anxious to go back to my study to see the contents of my bag.
"I'm sorry...... Guo Hongjin said weakly in the back, "Can you cook a little more, a bowl...... One bowl is not enough to eat. ”
Xiao Momiji first covered his mouth and laughed out loud.
"Tell Wang Yan how much you want to eat." I didn't look back and said, "This is my veritable senior brother, you will entertain me for my life." ”
With that, I hurried upstairs.
When I entered the study on the third floor, I immediately locked the door.
Then, I sat down in the boss's chair behind the desk, opened the green canvas bag, pulled out all the contents, and placed it on the desk.
A shabby gray robe, a bronze mirror wrapped in black cloth, a piece of yellow paper that looked like rune paper, a piece of letter paper with lines drawn in a mess, and a crumpled half sheet that looked like official paper.
I watched it for a long time, and I didn't know what these things were for.
The robe is an ancient costume, which looks like the clothing of the Ming Dynasty, but it should be very ordinary, and you can't see anything from it.
I also looked at the bronze mirror again and again for a long time, but I still didn't see anything come out. The portrait in the mirror was very blurry, far worse than the current glass mirror.
As for the rune paper...... Xiang Tianwen taught me a lot of things, but he didn't teach me how to use rune paper.
What about the letter paper with its jumbled lines? It was a scribble by a child who hadn't gone to school yet.
There are a few words on that piece of paper, written in pencil, written in pencil, written in "Xiaolou listened to the spring rain overnight", and it is written in traditional characters, the calligraphy is quite good, much better than me. It's a pity that the top half of the paper was torn off, otherwise, it should be clear what company used it.
I put all these things on my desk, resting my elbows on the armrests of my chair, propping my chin on, and staring at them in a daze.
If Xiang Tianwen wants to use these things to hint at his murderer, then what is the direction of these things?
I don't see it at all.
Robes and bronze mirrors are things used in ancient times, and the rune paper seems to have been used for some years, but letter paper and official paper are modern things. What are the common characteristics of these things?
No, I'm sure, they don't have anything in common at all.
I originally wanted to ask Guohong to come in and study it together, but I gave up after thinking about it.
Guo Hongjin that person, if you tell him to go east, go east, tell him to go west, ask him to buy two catties of meat, he will never buy one or two more, and he will never buy one or two less; In short, he is very obedient, but he doesn't think about anything for himself, and he doesn't know anything. This kind of person can't discuss anything with him.
It seems that I will only know when I go to Yuanbao Village and see it for myself.
