Chapter 8: Master of Xuanfeng Hall

Under the clean blue sky, scattered sunlight landed safely on the road through the dense foliage, the summer cicadas started their morning market again, calling lively, the gurgling streams were busy colliding with the bluestones to create crisp and joyful songs, and the green grass was also vigorously stretching their bodies, revealing smart smiling faces. The tireless bird, criing loudly, seemed to inform the fairy that her light veil had fallen on the dark green hills.

Mi Wenqing looked at the beautiful scenery everywhere dizzily, she took a breath of the air in the forest, and suddenly felt sweet and pleasant. From time to time, there is a beautiful singing voice in the ears, and when I look at it, I see a beautiful woman with a wide skirt and wide sleeves, and she is washing clothes by the stream, under the green silk of a thin belt, there are a pair of clear eyes, and the hands that are as white as jade are brushing a thousand layers of ripples, and the lips that seem to be embedded with rubies are still moving from time to time to make this heavenly sound. The beautiful and picturesque scene stunned Mi Wenqing, and couldn't help but sigh that she could still see such a beautiful place in this world, of course, this was something she could not imagine in the twenty-first century.

Along the way, Qin Zhengfeng and his party hurried silently, and even the thunder that they were used to being rough and arrogant did not say a word, just hanging their heads and kicking the stones sullenly to relieve their boredom. Mi Wenqing held Pangu's hand and followed behind, she looked at the group of people with serious expressions and pursed their lips and felt strange, the face of the jade-faced divine doctor was even more indifferent than in the martial arts conference. The oppressive atmosphere made Mi Wenqing dare not say a word, and it was not until after walking for more than two hours to reach the destination that everyone's expressions eased a little. After passing through a small alley built of blue bricks behind him, an old mansion that has suffered from vicissitudes of life is presented, the old house is probably the most dilapidated house on this street, a layer of white mud painted on the door wall of the house has fallen off half, and the cracked adobe bricks are exposed to the outside, the tiles on the roof of the house are covered with layers of thick moss, and the pitch black that seems to have been burned by fire spreads around the threshold, the black paint on the door panel bursts with bundles of white stripes, and the round iron ring of the lion's mouth on the door has half a circle of rust, However, there is a spotless plaque hanging on the wall of such a dilapidated door, and I saw the black lacquered plaque with the two big characters "Yizhuang" written on it.

"Sir, you're back. It's just right, it's time for lunch, it's going to be fine, let's go inside and rest. ”

An old man in a gray robe stood at the door, smiling as he wiped his calloused hands on the left and right sides of the hem of his gray robe. There were also four tall guys in black suits, standing behind the old man, and when they saw Qin Zhengfeng and his party coming back, they trained to stand in a neat row with their heads held high and waited in an orderly manner.

Qin Zhengfeng nodded slightly, and then entered through the door. The others also entered the courtyard in silence, and each went back to the door. Mi Wenqing did not follow Aunt Pan back to the room, but shuttled back and forth in the courtyard, curiously looking at the furnishings in the house. As soon as I entered the gate, there was a courtyard in the form of a courtyard, with three rooms on each side of the courtyard, and in the center of the courtyard was a hall, in front of which were a row of tablets, and an incense burner, and three wooden chairs were placed on each side in front of the door, but there was nothing else.

Qin Zhengfeng entered the hall as soon as he entered the door, and he stood in front of the hall for a long time, looking at the tablet in front of him. Mi Wenqing stood by the door and watched, not daring to go in and disturb, only to see the words "Qin Yansu, the forty-ninth generation master of Xuanfeng Hall" written on the nearest tablet from a distance.

Mi Wenqing then turned around and walked to the corridor on the right side of the hall, only to see that there was a larger room in the backyard here, the door curtain made of black silk cloth was blown back and forth by the wind, and the shaking black cloth made her unable to see the scene in the room, she carefully opened the door curtain, it was dark inside, only a small lantern hanging on the beam pillar in the room flashed faint light, curiosity drove her to take a closer look, so she groped and walked in.

Mi Wenqing touched the surroundings with his hand, and found that there seemed to be a lot of things placed here, the room was very quiet, in the hot summer, it was rare to have such a shady room, as if it had its own air conditioner. Fortunately, the light by the window was a little clearer, and she slowly groped her way to the window, and looked into the room through the faint light, only to find that the whole room was filled with several neat rows of neat rectangular black boxes! And except for a small passage in front of the door, there are almost a dozen identical boxes on the left and right.

All the new things in this world, as well as the strange furnishings in this room, had to arouse Mi Wenqing's strong curiosity.

She walked towards the nearest black box, and was about to push the lid open, but when she got close to the box, she felt a little strange, and she couldn't speak.

She lifted the lid of the box with her hand, but she couldn't open it, she pushed it harder, and the box didn't move, but she stumbled.

"Could it be that there is something important hidden here" Mi Wenqing looked the black box up and down again, but still found nothing.

She sat down on the floor again and did not get up, and rested her head on the box again, the cool air in the room reducing the boredom of the hot air outside.

She pressed her hands and feet to the ground, and the cool of her heart made her stay in this room so comfortable that she forgot what she had been a little suspicious about before. But her hand didn't know what she touched, silky and smooth, she picked up the thing and looked at it carefully in the light, and was suddenly frightened, it turned out to be a long bundle of hair! The hair had spilled out of the box she was leaning back to, hanging down on the ground. Mi Wenqing immediately jumped up in fright, and all the details that she hadn't noticed poured into her mind at once, the hair in the box? Exactly the same black box? ...... Yizhuang?!

"This ...... It won't be ...... Morgue, right?! ”

Mi Wenqing just wanted to call for help, but she didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of shocking the sleeping dead here, she trembled and explored the passage with her feet, walked to the door step by step, and when she saw the light at the door, she ran forward quickly, but she didn't know what she bumped into and bounced her to the ground. Mi Wenqing was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his eyes, and shouted:

"There's a ghost, help!"

"Little girl, what are you doing here? Where are the ghosts? Don't shout, it's me, Steward Hao. ”

As soon as Mi Wenqing heard the sound of someone talking, he slowly opened his eyes that were blinded by his hands, and looked, it turned out to be an old man who had just been waiting in front of the door.

"Grandpa, how can there be dead people here?"

Mi Wenqing saw that it was an acquaintance, so she was not so afraid, stood up and patted the dust on her body, and said.

"Our Yizhuang here is dedicated to taking in people who have no relatives to go to their funerals. Aunt Pan is looking for you everywhere, you come out with me first, and I'll tell you slowly. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he pulled Mi Wenqing out of the door, and carefully covered up the black curtain at the door, then turned around and walked slowly to the front yard with Mi Wenqing.

"Girl, what's your name? How did you get to this Yizhuang? ”

The old man took Mi Wenqing and said as he walked.

"I ...... I fell down from the mountain, I don't remember anything, I was homeless, it was Qin Daxia and all the heroes who took me in. ”

Although I can't bear to lie to this amiable old man, I am really helpless.

Mi Wenqing followed the old man all the way back to the front yard, and saw that Qin Zhengfeng was still standing motionless in front of the hall, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by the old man.

"Girl, don't go over, I'm afraid the old man is sad now, hey......" The old man shook his head and sighed.

"Why is Qin Daxia sad?" Mi Wenqing asked puzzled.

"Hey, our lord is the most righteous person. Now in order to restore the past Qingming justice of Xuanfeng Hall, and return to the martial arts, but I can't think ......of it," the old man sighed as he looked at Qin Zhengfeng's back.

"Since Qin Daxia is the master of Xuanfeng Hall, why is he in this Yizhuang?" Mi Wenqing also looked in the direction of the old man's gaze and asked again.

"The former hall master of Xuanfeng Hall is the father of the old man, and he was brutally killed by the enemies of the rivers and lakes thirty years ago, and the wife of the former hall master and several proud subordinates of Xuanfeng Hall also died tragically in that massacre, and Xuanfeng Hall has been in a state of collapse since then. However, before his death, the former hall master had warned the old man not to seek revenge for him. I still remember that the former hall master said that when is the time to repay grievances, and ordered the lord to do more good deeds to create well-being for the people. I've been with my master's family for forty years, and I know that Xuanfeng Hall is full of heroic and righteous people, but I don't know which black-hearted ghost even such a good person wants to kill ......"

As he spoke, the old man couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and he wiped his cloudy eyes with the coarse cloth sleeves, and continued:

"My lord listened to the words of the former hall master, he dismissed the rest of the Xuanfeng Hall, and the Xuanfeng Hall became an ordinary house, at first it was to relieve some homeless people, but those people died of illness one after another, and no one was buried, and this became a righteous village, and my lord took care of their future affairs without complaint. After a long time, the neighbors in the neighborhood all knew that my lord was kind and kind-hearted, and he was a descendant of Xuanfeng Hall, so the neighbors asked my lord for advice whenever he had anything, and my lord became a county magistrate who had half of the case. ”

When the old man said this, he laughed again.

"Lei Daxia, the jade-faced divine doctor, are they also from Xuanfeng Hall?" Mi Wenqing raised her head and asked.

"No, the people of Xuanfeng Hall are dead, and they are leaving, except for the master and me, the housekeeper, there is no one left. The six heroes are the same as my master, they are also people with a hard life, they are all fate, they are destined to become a family with my master......"

"Ghost girl, where did you go, let me find it, quick, follow me back to the room to wash well, look at your black body."

Just as the old man was about to continue, Aunt Pan came over and took Mi Wenqing back to her room.
