Chapter 287: Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots
Xie Tianhui is not our friend, but his life was lost because of us, I took him out of Jieshi Palace, in fact, at that time, I knew in my heart that Xie Tianhui was injured, and Da Luo Jinxian was unable to return to the sky.
It's just that looking at where he is lying, he couldn't be next to him before he died, and he felt very guilty in his heart, since Bai Jin said that the Xie family would not leave a corpse, the only thing we could do for him in the end was to send him on his last journey at sea.
I troubled Bai Jin to find someone to help, put down the boat and lift Xie Tianhui up, poured oil on it, Bai Jin handed me the torch, stood on the side of the boat and looked at Xie Tianhui on the boat, unable to speak for a long time.
"The Xie family has always been at odds with my Bai family, it can be said that water and fire are incompatible, I didn't expect the Xie family to be broken like this, and it is estimated that the people of the Xie family did not expect that in the end, it was actually me who sent Xie Tianhui on his last journey."
"Bad friends with the Bai family?" I asked Bai Jin suspiciously. "Why?"
"I don't know, ask yourself if the Bai family is in Liaodong, worthy of the three words King of Liaodong, the Bai family has a conscience, but I don't know why, the Xie family has always been-for-tat with our Bai family, I have personally seen Xie Boju, but the words were not speculative, and he was kicked out without saying a few words."
"Who is Xie Boju?" Gong Jue asked.
"Xie Tianhui's father." Bai Jin replied.
Bai Jin said that the Xie family has been in Liaodong for a long time, although it is not a famous family, but the Xie family is strong, and it has always been a lot of weight in the underworld, Xie Boju is low-key after all, and rarely shows his face, although he is a person in the underworld, but there are also rules and proportions, and he has never done anything to bully the weak, and he is quite respected on the road.
Xie Tianhui is the only son of Xie Boju, after all, he is a person in the realm, Bai Jinda is watching Xie Tianhui grow up, before Xie Tianhui was weak and introverted, and never fought with others, but after Xie Boju died, Xie Tianhui took over the Xie family's business, and the strange thing is that it is said that the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change, but Xie Tianhui has completely changed almost overnight.
He is as strong and fierce as a reconciled uncle, and his temperament is the same as his father's.
"Wait a minute, Uncle Bai, you just said that you grew up watching Xie Tianhui?" I asked, frowning.
"Yes, when I was a child, this kid was very likeable, I still remember, I went to the Xie family to reconcile Boju and turn the war into a jade silk, but Xie Boju didn't listen to me at all, so he bombarded me out, and later, Xie Tianhui chased him out, talked generously and behaved decently to compensate me, at that time I pondered, in the future the child will grow up to be a pillar, I didn't expect ......" Bai Jin looked at the body of Xie Tianhui on the boat, and sighed heavily. It's unpredictable. ”
"Uncle Bai, are you saying that Xie Tianhui grew up little by little?"
"......" Bai was stunned for a moment, looking at me blankly for a long time. Nonsense, don't people grow up slowly, it's hard to jump out of the cracks in the stones, and it's so big all of a sudden. ”
I glanced at each other with Gong Jue and Tian Ji, I rubbed my forehead, although we still don't know Xie Tianhui's identity, but one thing I can be sure of is that Xie Tianhui has definitely been to Jieshi Palace.
But the question is, the last time the Jieshi Palace was opened was in the Ming Dynasty, how could Xie Tianhui know everything in the Jieshi Palace, I had imagined a possibility.
The last to enter the Jieshi Palace was Lei Yingwei, and the man who wore the golden silk mask who stayed until the end was the one who stood to the end, as well as two other thousand households, one of which was likely to be Zhuo Mingfeng, so that it would be clear why he knew the order of the Nine Palaces of the Jieshi Palace.
But the problem is that Xie Tianhui actually knew Zhuo Mingfeng, and even knew that we had been to the Vientiane Divine Palace, and even knew that Zhuo Mingfeng died in the Vientiane Divine Palace in order to save me, if Zhuo Mingfeng was the thousand households back then, he had lived for hundreds of years, and the only one who could still know the secrets of the Jieshi Palace would only be the people who Lei Yingwei had back then.
Judging from the stone platform in the Jieshi Palace, in the last battle, the man wearing the golden silk mask and another thousand households were not inside, so it can be seen that at least three people left the Jieshi Palace alive back then.
And the man wearing the golden silk mask is the mysterious lord mentioned by Lu Qiao, Zhuo Mingfeng and another thousand households, who should follow the lord and open the Vientiane Divine Palace.
The other Qianhu left his clothes and saber in the Jieshi Palace, but he realized that Tianhui was actually wearing it on his body and the size was just right, in fact, it was at that moment that I deduced in my heart.
Xie Tianhui is another thousand households.
He, like Zhuo Mingfeng, is also a person who has lived for hundreds of years, but Zhuo Mingfeng is the canopy of the twelve generals who have entered the earth, and it stands to reason that Xie Tianhui should also be one of them, but I didn't see the tattoo of the three-eyed unicorn on his wrist.
But Bai Jin's words completely overturned these previous inferences, Bai Jin actually watched Xie Tianhui grow up, he couldn't be the Lei Yingwei Qianhu hundreds of years ago.
How does a person who has never entered the Jieshi Palace know everything inside, and I think of Xie Tianhui's father, who is the Xie Boju that Bai Jin's said, maybe he is the Qianhu of the Lei Yingwei, he told the secret of the Jieshi Palace to understand Tianhui, so Xie Tianhui was so eager to find the Jieshi Palace.
But after thinking about it, this assumption is still not valid, unless someone who has really entered the Jieshi Palace, he will not know the situation inside, Xie Tianhui calculates every step, and he even guides us to the end by himself, in other words, without us, Xie Tianhui can also find the Jieshi Palace.
"Uncle Bai, what did you say Tianhui wrote to you?" I asked solemnly.
Bai Jin took out a letter from his body and handed it to me, after opening the letter, it was written with a brush.
The content of the writing is very brief, which roughly means that we arrived in Liaodong and asked Bai to meet us at the agreed time and place.
This letter may not be able to see the deep meaning of it, but I, the palace lord and Tian Ji all know it, and we can see two things through this letter.
First, Xie Tianhui knows the relationship between us and Bai Jin, we have saved Bai Jin in the Vientiane Shrine, with Bai Jin's character, knowing that we are in trouble, we are bound to go all out to rescue, in Liaodong, no one cares more about our life and death than Bai Jin.
Second, the time when the letter was written should be before we entered the sea to go to the Jieshi Palace, and the time when Bai Jin was asked to answer us in the letter happened to be the time when we left the Jieshi Palace from the crater, and the location was also quite accurate, so it can be seen that long before we entered the sea, Xie Tianhui had already predicted what would happen, and he even calculated the time we stayed in the Jieshi Palace and the route to leave.
This makes me even more convinced that Xie Tianhui has definitely entered the Jieshi Palace a long time ago.
"Uncle Bai, the person who sent the letter to you said that Xie Tianhui sent it?" The palace lord asked with a puzzled expression.
"No, the letter was placed at the door, I looked at the content of the letter, I thought you were in the hands of Xie Tianhui, I also sent someone to look for you, but I didn't see Tianhui, I was worried that something happened to you, and immediately set off to investigate the place mentioned in the letter, and I didn't see your traces, until I finally found it yesterday, and it was the same time as the letter said."
Bai Jin is loyal, it seems that Xie Tianhui also knows it, and he knows that Bai Jin will definitely go all out to track down our whereabouts until he finds us.
"Uncle Bai, there is no signature on this letter, how do you know that it was sent by Xie Tianhui?" I asked.
Bai Jin flipped the envelope over, pointed to a pattern in the lower right corner and said: "Xie Tianhui has a wrench, and there is this pattern on it, everyone on the road knows that this pattern represents understanding Tianhui." ”
We went around to take a look, and the pattern was a cocktail beast pattern with round eyes and a big nose, and two thin eyebrows.
I was shocked, and suddenly remembered that Xie Tianhui had put on a wrench when he changed into the Flying Fish suit, and I looked at the boat in the sea, and the wrench was still on his finger, and I always thought that the wrench was put together with those clothes.
Thinking back carefully about Xie Tianhui's words, in fact, he had already told us that the wrench finger and the waist card were the tokens of Lei Yingwei's thousand households, and the ornaments on these two things must be completely consistent before Lei Yingwei could be dispatched.
It is impossible to leave the wrench and the waist card at the same time, in the Jieshi Palace, we saw the waist card on the flying fish suit, but did not see the wrench, in fact, the wrench has always been on Xie Tianhui's body.
The more I know, the more confused my mind becomes, everything is telling us the same thing, Xie Tianhui is the Lei Yingwei Qianhu who left the Jieshi Palace back then, but Xie Tianhui grew up as a child, how can he not be a person who has lived for hundreds of years.
"People are dead, what do you want to do so much, no matter how many questions you have, Xie Tianhui can't tell us." Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Tian Ji should have guessed what I was thinking.
I took a deep breath and handed the torch to the pheasant, the boat was already drifting far away, and I asked the pheasant to throw the torch over.
"By the way, there were two letters sent at that time, and one of them had your name on it." Bai Jin suddenly remembered and took out another letter from his body.
It was still Xie Tianhui's handwriting, I didn't know why the letter to me was sent to Bai Jin, so I hurriedly opened the envelope, and the unfolded letter paper was the same neat calligraphy.
Gu remembers the grace of a life, and sends my body back to Jinling Tao Wu to bury Huaxi.
Tian Ji's hand was raised, and I was about to throw the torch, I was shocked, and quickly reached out to hold it, looking at the letter in my hand, I couldn't calm down for a long time.
Who is Xie Tianhui, this short letter, the content is very clear, Xie Tianhui hopes that I can read the grace of my life, and after he dies, send him to a place, the address is the funeral flower river in Taowu Ancient Town, Jinling.
Xie Tianhui had expected what would happen from the beginning, and even knew that he would die for the Jieshi Palace, he not only calculated his own life and death, but also me, he had a life grace for me, no matter what requirements he left, I would do it without hesitation.
He knew that I would send him back to the place mentioned in the letter anyway.
