When night fell on the Hanzhong Plain, the smoke rose from Lijiagou, and the villagers were ready to have dinner.

Pushing open the fence door, an empty coffin was parked in the corner of the yard, and smoke wafted out of the kitchen.

"Is this Li Erya's home?" Arara stood at the door of the house.

Li Laohan walked out and looked at the young man, and asked hesitantly, "Are you?"

"Uncle Li, we've met before." Arira said.

At this time, Er Ya came out of the back room and was very surprised to see him: "Hey, aren't you the little monk from the Buddha Cliff Temple?" ”

"It's me."

"Sure enough, it's a little monk, I can't recognize this dress, please come in the house." Li Laohan finally recognized him.

Erya took the water bowl and handed it to Youliang, and he drank it dry.

"How did you come to us? Is Midu Zen Master okay? Li Laohan asked.

"The abbot was killed." There are good circles under the eyes, and the circles are red.

Li Laohan was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked what was going on?

"It's a cat demon." Arira told the story of the old monk who had not crossed.

"Black cat?" Li Laohan was alert to the corpse of the black cat in the coffin of Mrs. Liao and the two silver needles on her head, so he said, "Mrs. Liao was possessed by the black cat demon and deceived the corpse. ”

"I saw everything that night, and the cemetery where the two of them went."

"Graveyard?" Li Laohan was even more surprised, "You mean two people?" ”

Youliang nodded, and described what he and Liu Shisan saw in the purple forest in the mountains that day, and the situation when he followed Professor Sun to the cemetery.

"It turned out that it was Professor Sun who was digging the grave." Li Laohan gritted his teeth in anger.

"His name is Sun Yifeng, he is a teacher in a school in the capital, and he has a group of black cats at home, and the eldest of them is the old female cat who killed the abbot in Foya Temple."

"The old monk is so kind, why should someone want to harm him?" Er Ya said puzzled.

So Youliang told all the things he had experienced in the past few years, but he hid the fact that he was blinded in his left eye by "opening the eyes of the sky", and it would make people laugh when he said it.

Li Laohan listened carefully, he didn't say anything for a long time, his face became more and more heavy, and he said as if he had made a lot of determination: "Youliang, and Erya, you listen well, this matter is not trivial." ”

"Grandpa, you look so scary." The second girl saw Li Laohan so serious for the first time, and she couldn't help but be scared.

"Everything that has happened these days is for Erya, the possession and deception of the corpse of Liao Shenpo at the beginning, Erya's night visit to the cemetery, Sun Yifeng's grave digging and the murder of the old monk are all related to a secret." Li Laohan said nervously.

"Secret, what secret do I have?" Er Ya was very surprised.

"I've been hiding this for 14 years, and today I finally have to say it." Li Laohan sighed.

Erya looked at her grandfather nervously, and she had a conscience to think that it would not be the tomb of the Medicine King.

"Erya, you were adopted," Li Laohan said with difficulty what happened back then.

Li Laohan's only son, Li Jizu, joined the army in 1968, and at the same time enlisted in the Shaanxi countrymen had the best comrade-in-arms, named Sun Huaiyuan, a native of Sun Jiayuan in Yao County. The two are like brothers and sisters, and they have nothing to talk about. Sun Huaiyuan was two years older than Li Jizu, and got married in his hometown when he visited relatives in 73, and at the beginning of 74, the engineering unit to which they belonged was sent to Laos to build a road, that is, in that year, Sun Huaiyuan died in a blasting mission. Before he died, he told Li Jizu that his daughter had just been born, and he must invite him to go to Sun Jiayuan in the future and tell his wife his true situation, because going abroad to help Laos is a secret mission, and his relatives in China do not know about it, and he doesn't want his wife and children to even know where he died. In addition, he solemnly handed over a piece of jade that he had treasured to Li Jizu, telling him that it was the ancestral heirloom of the Sun family and was left to his daughter.

Sun Huaiyuan died and was buried in a foreign land, and his bones could not be returned home.

In the spring of 74, Li Jizu recovered and returned to Hanzhong, and then went to Sun Jiayuan in Yaoxian County to find Sun Huaiyuan's widow and saw the little girl who was only one year old. At this time, the child's mother Sifu became depressed and became ill, and she was terminally ill and dying, and she begged Li Jizu to adopt the second girl when she was dying, and in this way, he took the child back to Li Jiagou in Hanzhong and raised it as his own daughter.

Erya didn't know her life experience until today, and she couldn't help but feel sad and threw herself into Li Laohan's arms and cried.

"For the sake of Erya, the step-ancestor has never married and started a family, and now that I think about it, his tragic death may also be related to this grandson's relics, does it mean that as long as he takes the side of the medicine king, he will not die well?" Li Laohan said bitterly.

"Medicine King?"

"Sun Huaiyuan's ancestor is Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty."

Youliang finally understands that Li Erya is the real descendant of the Medicine King. Sun Yifeng worked hard to arrange it in order to get the whereabouts of the Medicine King's tomb from her, and Liu Shisan mistakenly thought that Sun Yifeng was the descendant of the Medicine King and had been secretly coveting it.

And Erya, she herself kept everything in the dark and didn't know about it.

"Youliang, who is this old blind man Liu Thirteen?" Li Laohan asked suspiciously.

Youliang shook his head and said in his heart, he didn't know the true origin of Lu Dao Liu Thirteen.

"Anyway, after all, he has treated Erya, and Sun Simiao's descendants must have some secrets hidden, so Sun Yifeng is in hot pursuit, and he will not let Erya go." Li Laohan was worried.

"Grandpa, let's go report to the Public Security Bureau." Erya said with tears in her eyes.

"It's useless, there is no real evidence, and the government will not just listen to our words and arrest Sun Zhifeng." Li Laohan shook his head.

"His purpose is the Tomb of the Medicine King." Arira said.

"Erya is just an ignorant hairy child, where do you know what kind of medicine king's tomb is."

"Uncle Li, do you have any relics of the Sun family on Erya, it seems that Sun Yifeng robbed the tomb that night, he was looking for something." Arira speculated.

"Back then, Erya had nothing with him except clothes, except for the jade that was to be handed over, but then it was gone, and I didn't find it when I turned over the cabinet." Li Laohan recalled.

In the old days, women used a lot of gold and silver and hosta hairpins, and Youliang remembered that his mother had one, and later he was buried in the fire together, but Yuwan heard for the first time that if the Sun family could leave behind some ancient books and maps, there might be clues to the tomb of the medicine king.

"What is Yuwan?" He asked.

"It's just a jade trinket." Li Laohan explained.

"Grandpa, Er Ya wants to go to Sun Jiayuan and burn some paper money in front of my mother's grave." At this time, Li Erya said quietly.

"This is as it should be, when the rapeseed is harvested, grandpa will take you again."

"I can accompany Erya." Youliang suddenly said, Sun Jiayuan is Sun Simiao's hometown, there may be clues related to the tomb of the medicine king, the most important thing at the moment is to find the devouring needle, once the meridians of the hands are opened, there is no need to be afraid of Sun Yifeng.

Li Laohan looked at the two of them, and nodded in agreement.

Youliang stayed at Li's house that night, and early the next morning, Li Laohan brought some money to Erya, sent the two to the town to take a long-distance bus to Xi'an, and then transferred to Tongchuan Yao County.

Liu Shisan returned to the Dongfeng Hotel at night, and found that Yuliang was not in the room, and his backpack and other items were still stacked in the corner, where would he go? This time he went to Hanzhong, he did not find any trace of Sun Yifeng in the secret visit, he did not come to Lijiagou, so he hurriedly returned to the capital two days later.

Liu Shisan didn't close his eyes all night, and Youliang never came back, so nothing would happen, right?

At the mouth of the overpass alley, Liu Shisan squatted on the ground in tattered clothes, and silently stretched out his hand to beg when a pedestrian passed by. At about eight or nine o'clock, he caught a glimpse of Sun Yifeng coming out with a leather bag, locking the courtyard door, and then boarding a bicycle and following the flow of people.

Liu Shisan got up slowly, walked to the door of Sun's house, and when he saw that there was no one left and right, he flipped through the courtyard wall with a wooden stick.

"Meow", squatting at the door of the house is a fat old female cat, half of the right hind leg wrapped in a bandage, staring at him viciously, a group of black cat cubs vigilantly surrounded at her feet.

"A litter of demons." Liu Shisan muttered in his mouth, looking through the window, there was no good figure in the house, it seemed that he was not here.

"Whew," the old she-cat hissed and growled menacingly.

"Get out of here, or I'll leave you in the dust." Liu 13 raised the stick.

The old female cat's green and faint pupils suddenly dilated, and the upper and lower eyelids opened and closed quickly, and strange biological radio waves greeted the mask.

"Ahh Liu Shisan snorted softly, and the yin eye hidden behind the shriveled right eyelid suddenly stabbed violently, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

Damn, it turns out that this cat demon still has this kind of evil magic, he cursed in his heart and stepped back, he didn't want his yin eyes to be damaged, then he would really become blind.

Escaping from Sun Yifeng's courtyard, on the way back, Liu Shisan was full of suspicions, Youliang had no acquaintances in the capital, and he would never disappear out of thin air. After he returned to the hotel, he sat on the bed and thought quietly, carefully recalling the words that Youliang had said when he came back from Sun Yifeng's house that day.

"Did you go back to the Buddha Cliff Temple?" He muttered to himself in confusion.

That night, Liu Shisan couldn't sit still, packed his backpack and left the hostel, still took the night train to Tongguan, at dusk, he climbed the mountain to the Buddha Cliff Temple, still dressed as an old beggar.

The deacon monk was very surprised to see him, and enthusiastically led him to the dormitory to give alms and food.

"What about the little monk?" Liu 13 asked the fat monk.

"Hmph, this guy has a big temper, and he knows where he went." The fat monk said angrily.

Sure enough, he came back, and Liu Shisan secretly said in his heart, maybe the old monk of the abbot knew where he went.

"Is the abbot there?" He asked.

"Alas," replied the fat monk sadly, "the abbot of Weidu has passed away. ”

"Passed away? How so? Liu was taken aback.

"He was killed by someone," the fat monk roughly said what had happened, and sighed, "I don't know who the murderer is, the abbot is so kind-hearted, he will be plotted by others, what kind of world?" ”

"Don't you have any clues?"

"The poor monk was also wondering, one of the abbot's shoes ran under the bed, there were blood stains and some animal black hair sticking to it, Buddha Head Mountain had not seen a wild beast for many years."

Liu Shisan immediately understood that it was Sun Yifeng and his old female cat who attacked the abbot, and the old monk Weidu also injured one of the cat demon's legs, and he saw it still wrapped in bandages at Sun's house yesterday morning.

But he couldn't figure it out, why did Sun Yifeng want to kill the abbot of Weidu, it seems that there must be something hidden here.
