Duan Jiu's brows furrowed, and when he was hesitating whether to drink this medicinal wine, he suddenly saw Ling'er running back again, and said, "Brother, there are a lot of people in red outside. ”

Duan Jiu then put down the medicinal wine and asked, "Is it the red-clothed man we met in the bamboo forest before?"

Ling'er nodded and said, "Well, that's them." They were all gathered outside the Yuhua Pavilion. ”

Duan Jiu felt strange, at this moment, the people from the Yan Shang Hall suddenly ran a group of people to come to the Yuhua Pavilion to do something? Could it be that the Confucian Elder woke up and came here to thank him?

Ling Jianxian drank all the medicinal wine, felt very choked, and after putting down the bowl, he turned around and said, "Let's go, let the old man go and see what they are making trouble with." ”

Duan Jiu also wanted to get up to find out, but Ling Jian Immortal stopped him and said, "Xiao Jiu, don't move, the old man will come back when he goes to take a look, and will tell you what happened later." ”

After that, Ling Jianxian pushed the door out first. Ling'er stood in place, looked at Duan Jiu, ran over and said, "Brother, Ling'er is still with you." ”

Ling Jian Xian went out for only a while, and then returned to the "Chen Pavilion", but his expression changed greatly, and he looked confused and uneasy.

Duan Jiu saw Ling Jianxian's face, and it was definitely not a happy event that Kong had woken up and Yan Shangdian came to thank him, but it was very likely to be a "white thing".

Sure enough, Ling Jian Xian hesitated and said, "The one surnamed Kong in the Yanshang Hall was killed. ”

Although Duan Jiu had expected it, he was still quite shocked, who dared to commit murder in Yuhua Pavilion? Who wanted to kill Kong? Who wanted to be the enemy of Yan Shang Palace? If someone else did this, maybe Yan Shang Palace's spearhead would be removed from Duan Jiu.

Of course, there is another possibility of the result, and he may make things worse for Duan Jiu. Duan Jiu didn't expect this, and he asked, "What's the matter?"

Ling Jian Immortal looked out of the door, walked to Duan Jiu's side, and said in a low voice, "The one surnamed Kong was stabbed to death with a knife. When the murderer fled in the direction of the mountain bamboo forest behind the Yuhua Pavilion, he happened to be seen by the two disciples who were boiling medicine, and they chased after the bamboo forest......"

Ling Jian Xian suddenly stopped and remained silent, as if he had some scruples. Seeing this, Duan Jiu had already guessed what he was going to say. He smiled bitterly: "Senior, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Ling Jianxian felt a little guilty and said, "They found your carriage behind the bamboo forest, and decided that the one surnamed Kong was killed by you, but they just ran up the mountain, but they didn't want to leave the carriage behind." ”

Duan Jiu sighed secretly in his heart, "That's really the case. ”

Ling Jianxian continued to explain: "This carriage was tied to the back of the bamboo forest when the old man drove over. The old man really didn't expect that this would become the object of other people's use, but it would harm you. Xiao Jiu, old man ......"

Duan Jiu knew that Ling Jian Xian had to apologize, how could he afford this apology? This carriage had to be driven over in the first place to save him, and it was really an accident that it would become someone else's handle.

Duan Jiu said: "Seniors don't need to say much, it seems that I, Duan Jiu, have been monitored for a long time, and it's not your fault in this matter, but I don't know who is bent on using all means to blame me." ”

Ling Jian Xian also frowned, stroked his long beard and said: "That's true, if according to what you said, someone wants to collect all the Five Origin Scriptures, but they just happened to meet you as a substitute for the dead ghost, but according to the current view, the person behind this is not so simple." ”

Duan Jiu only felt distressed, there were indeed many enemies he had offended in the past three years, and it would not be easy to find out the murderers behind the scenes from these enemies. It is even possible that all this was not planned by one person, but the enemies of the past three years took the initiative to attack together, and killed Duan Jiu by surprise.

Duan Jiu didn't want to get involved in Yuhua Pavilion because of his personal grievances, so he asked, "What are the people from the Yanshang Hall doing in Yuhua Pavilion?"

Ling Jianxian said: "It's just that Chang Puying of the Yan Upper Hall brought someone over to collect the corpse and went to the Yuhua Pavilion to say goodbye to Senior Liu." Don't worry, this matter has come out, and it can't be blamed on Yuhua Pavilion, and Senior Liu is highly respected, and the Yan Shangdian is not qualified to sprinkle again. ”

Duan Jiu felt a little relieved when he heard this, Liu Wangchun was very old, and he was already a person who was far away from the disputes in the rivers and lakes when he did things to help the people in this Yuhua Pavilion, and he must not harm him because of himself. Although Duan Jiu knew that he was exalting himself too much, he would always feel guilty unconsciously.

Ling Jianxian glanced out of the door twice, turned around and said, "Look, they have already left." ”

Duan Jiu got up and looked out the door, and sure enough, he saw a team of red-clothed people, walking out of the Yuhua Pavilion one after another, walking in front of the red-clothed people, a middle-aged man who was already forty or fifty years old, was Chang Puying.

From the side of the pavilion, two red-clothed men carried a bamboo frame draped in white cloth, and the one lying inside was the Kong system. The two interspersed with the red-clothed crowd and left from Yuhua Pavilion together.

Duan Jiu opened his mouth and asked, "When was this Kong Elder killed?"

Duan Jiu was puzzled, it was clear that the two red-clothed disciples were still delivering medicine to him at noon today. According to what the two disciples said, they would only visit the Confucian Elder once every two hours, and it should not be two hours since the last medicine was delivered. And even if this factor is put aside, the two disciples may have a whim to visit the Kong Department, and they happen to find out that he was killed, from the two disciples to chase people, and then they will report to the Yan Shang Palace, and the people from the Yan Shang Hall will come to the Yuhua Pavilion again, and the time in between is obviously not enough.

Ling Jianxian said: "I don't know, but the old man heard that this Chang Puying is in the village not far from Yuhua Pavilion, and he happened to rush over to this matter." ”

In the village not far away, Duan Jiu wondered, "Why isn't he in the Yanshang Palace?"

Ling Jianxian explained: "The medicine surnamed Kong needs to be boiled six times a day, and they are all medicinal materials that are not easy to obtain, and the smokeless village near Yuhua Pavilion is a place where medicinal materials are abundant, Chang Puying should go there to find medicinal materials for Kong." Senior Liu only saw a doctor and prescribed prescriptions, but rarely provided medicines, which had to be tested by the patient or his relatives themselves. ”

"I see. Duan Jiu sighed, originally thinking that there were suspicious points here, and some clues could be seen, but he didn't want to be reasonable. It seems that this murderer is the only breakthrough.

In this case, the evidence must be collected as soon as possible after the crime. Duan Jiu then stepped out of the Chen Pavilion and said, "Let's go to the Pavilion and have a look." ”

Ling'er grabbed Duan Jiu and said, "Brother, Sister Xiaoxi, Brother Xia, Grandpa Liu said, you can't run." ”

Duan Jiu smiled and said, "I didn't run, I just walked." It's just a chest injury, not a leg injury, it's fine. ”

Ling'er muttered an "oh" helplessly, and said, "Okay, brother, go slowly." ”

The three of them then came to the pavilion, and as soon as they entered the door, they smelled a faint smell of Chinese herbs, and there was only a wooden bed and a wooden table inside, and it was empty otherwise.

Ling Jian Immortal said: "The people in this Yan Shang Hall are still abiding by the rules, knowing that the patients of this Yuhua Pavilion are going to be taken out, they must clean up the pavilion by themselves, and they are really spotless." ”

Duan Jiu walked inside and touched the bed board, there was still a little water stain, it seemed that it had been scrubbed, and the mat quilt on the bed had also been taken away, it seemed that it was because of the bloodstains.

Duan Jiu saw that there was nothing left to see in this pavilion, so he turned around and went out and said, "Let's go to the back of the bamboo forest and have a look." ”

When he went out, he met Xia Xiaozhu who came over with a new seat, Xia Xiaozhu greeted Ling Jianxian and Ling'er when he saw it, but he looked at Duan Jiu with disdain.

Duan Jiu didn't know that Xia Xiaozhu had a crush on Tiannu Xi, so Tiannu Xi's anger and displeasure were his anger and displeasure, and Tiannu Xi's displeasure in dealing with Duan Jiu was his disobedience to Duan Jiu. Duan Jiu had never liked a woman, so naturally he didn't know that this man would be inexplicably jealous.

Duan Jiu followed Ling Jianxian's guidance, and when he came to the bamboo forest, he saw a trace of smoke curling into the sky, accompanied by the smell of burning firewood.

Duan Jiu was shocked, and quickened his pace, seeing that the carriage behind the bamboo forest was indeed burned to ashes, and the white horse was also burned to the ground, becoming a charred corpse.

This is exactly the result of the burning of the Flame Temple with heavenly fire.

Duan Jiu threw himself on his knees, only to feel a wave of nausea and a pain in his heart. Three years ago, he saw thirty-six charred corpses in front of him, he felt pain and numbness, three years later, he saw his favorite horse being burned to death, this picture was so strikingly similar, Duan Jiu seemed to see three years ago, saw that blazing night, his stomach rolled, he couldn't stand the smell of this charred meat anymore from that night......

"Ahh Why? Why, three years later, I still can't protect what I want to protect? Why? Why? Why? Why?!

He knelt in front of the horse's corpse, tears had already flowed all over his face, Ling'er also had a deep affection for this white horse, and knelt in front of the horse like Duan Jiu and cried bitterly: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai......"

Ling Jianxian watched the two of them cry on the side, and he was not immune to the infection, his eyes were moist, and he was silent on the side.

This carriage that had been with Duan Jiu for three years was burned down like this, and this horse that had been running around with Duan Jiu for three years was burned alive like this!

No! I'm not the defenseless Duan Jiu I used to be, I want a tooth for a tooth, I want blood for blood! Duan Jiu slowly stood up, wiped the tears on both sides of his cheeks, he also helped Ling'er, wiped away the tears for her, and said, "Ling'er, don't cry, we will avenge Xiaobai." ”

With that, he took his right hand for a moment, and the land of the horse's corpse suddenly fell, and the horse and carriage were slowly swallowed up in the dirt, and finally buried in the dirt. After a while, the land slowly returned to its original state.

The bamboo forest behind Duan Jiu, as well as the trees and grass around here, are full of natural breath and the green that animals yearn for.

The horse was supposed to belong here, it was man who called it like a slave, it was man who deprived it of its freedom and did not give it the best protection.

Man is really a busy animal, he can't even take care of himself in his life, but he often wants to take care of many things.

Ling'er watched the horses and carriages being buried, and said sadly: "Brother, Xiaobai is gone." ”

Duan Jiu took her hand and turned around and said, "Don't be sad Ling'er, my brother has already helped bury it, and Xiaobai will soon be able to go to reincarnation." ”

Ling'er looked up and asked, "Really?"

"Really. ”
