"Later, I thought it started the next day after he sat in the study for a long time, and then slammed the door and called Jing Bi in."

Maybe that's where things started.

Xu Sheng only noticed the silence in his eyes and the worry that he wanted to stop talking in his memories a long time later, the man seemed to be a different person under the guise of sadness, he began to go out early and return late, and stayed in the study all night alone Finally, after one night was over, Xu Sheng got up in the morning and pushed the door open, but the man was coming back from outside the hospital.

There were some traces of a fight on his body, but it was very subtle, Xu Sheng thought that he was going to Xianqiao Peak again, but the man stopped her words of concern, and turned a pair of calm eyes that made the woman hold her breath, and in them was the seriousness she had only seen in her life.

"I'll go out, Ah Xiang." The man said softly, "Come back in seven or eight days, you can live as usual - take care of Jing Bi, don't let him run around." ”

"What are you going to do?"

However, there was no answer, and the man went to the building to get his things and left.

This was the last time they would see each other.

"No more news?"

"Nope." The woman was stunned and said, "On the fourth day of his departure, the seal of the palm peak was removed. It became an ownerless thing. ”

“.”

"I don't know where he died, and the Law Enforcement Hall can't find any trace of him. A living person, just disappeared without a head or an end. ”

Pei Ye was silent for a while: "Do you have any relics of Ling Fu and this Ji Feng?" ”

Yes. But it's just a piece of paper. Xu Shang walked to the bookshelf and pointed to the previous column of sword scrolls, "Some annotations on sword books during teaching." There are also some letters exchanged with each other after the end of the class. ”

She removed a box, which contained a number of letterheads of various colors and sizes.

Pei Ye nodded, took it down and flipped through them one by one.

There are a lot of mentions about Ji Feng on the sword scroll, such as "Feng is weak, in order to repair the "White Rainbow Chapter" in the future, I will not find his reckless mistake here" and so on, which is quite careful.

"Lingfu is really a good teacher."

Mei Qing went to the Sword Cultivation Academy when she was young." Xu Sheng lowered his head and smiled, "He said he knows how to teach a person to learn swords. ”

Pei Ye stared at the end of the scroll, and this part of the content stopped at Ji Feng's return to the mountain to practice the sword.

When I came to the box, the contents of the letter were much closer.

The women's classification is very fine, and there is a small bamboo stick between the letterheads, which is engraved with the word "Ji Feng". Pei Ye opened his eyes one by one, and there were still more sword questions and answers, but the content became much richer, and the young man's pen began to reveal some sensitive thoughts, and the men in the family, the master's, the same family, and Shao Ai were always patient and gentle.

"Ji Feng, he trusts Lingfu very much." Pei Li closed a letter and said in a low voice.

"Yes, there's something he likes to talk to him about."

Pei Ye nodded and frowned slightly.

But he didn't speak again, and continued to flip through the letterhead, when suddenly his fingers flickered, and he had touched the last section, and behind him were square notes of the same size, the size of a palm, and there was a whole stack.

Pei Ye picked up a few sheets, and they were almost the same content: "Good afternoon, Uncle Zhang, ask Uncle Xu and Senior Brother Jing Bi." Abide by the previous agreement, and ask for trouble tomorrow afternoon. September 17, Maple. ”

"This kid is afraid of disturbing people, so he usually doesn't come by himself, so Mei Qing often invites him." Xu Sheng said softly beside him, "But even if he was invited the day before, he always had to ask Jingbi to hand over a short note before he came." ”

Pei Ye flipped through them one by one, all of them were in the same handwriting, and the last few dates were quite close, and they matched the previous few worried letters of that year's [Tie Song on Sword], until the last one, it was still "Good afternoon, Uncle Zhang, I would like to ask Uncle Xu and Senior Brother Jing Bi how well." I'm sorry for you again, I'm waiting for you tonight. Thirty twenty-one, maple. ”

Pei Ye was about to put this note back, but suddenly there was a pause in his hand, and he slowly stroked the paper twice: "Lord Xu Feng, when did Ji Feng happen?" ”

I don't remember." Xu Shang was stunned, "But, Mei Qing left on March 27 and died on April 1." ”

"Hmm."

"Is there something wrong?"

Pei Ye was silent for a moment: "I think Ji Feng may rely on him more than Ling Fu thinks." ”

“.”

"After so many years of care, it is not without repercussions, maybe he values the evaluation of the Acting Peak Master more, but he must have opened a bigger door to Ling Fu." Pei Ye looked at the letter in the box, "You see, he even gave his favorite girl something, and he carefully asked Lingfu for his opinion at the end of the letter." ”

"So I think such a trusting and dependent, and such a sensitive and polite person," Pei Ye looked at the woman, "It's not like he would die without saying anything when he had an agreement with Lingfu." ”

"But that's what happened."

"Well, I'll go to the Law Enforcement Hall first to take a look at this case." Pei Ye put the short note in his hand, "See you later, Lord Xu Feng." ”

See you later."

Xu Shang watched the calm and neat young man leave silently, and suddenly seemed to feel that this was the state of the man running around in the days before leaving.

——

After the five peaks, the law enforcement hall.

This cliff peak is shrouded in the deep and high shadow of the five peaks, it is noon, but the fog is still deep, Pei Ye in the fog through a long straight road to the "Tibetan 600-year-old Kongtong", by the [Dasi Mountain] garrisoned by the ancient building of the scriptures.

Gan Zifeng said, [Dasi Mountain] generally chooses a person who has no relatives and no reason from the elder peak master, and wishes to be accompanied by the scriptures for the rest of his life, and from then on, he sorts out the scriptures and swords for Kongtong, maintains the mountain formation, and never shows up again, becoming a shadow in the ancient building in the deep mountains.

It is said that when the old master and uncle asked for himself to be the original Sishan, but because it was really the pillar of today's Kongtong, it was difficult to remove it and gave up.

Now, the person who led the way had stopped at the end of the straight, and Pei Ye came to the front of the building alone with the law enforcement hall sign, and he was no longer visible when he turned around. Raising his head, the roof of the building was also hidden in the fog.

This should be the largest and tallest building Pei Ye has ever seen, built on the mountain, ancient as iron, like a mountain cliff growing.

When the Law Enforcement Hall handed him the marker of the corresponding file, he said that there was no "retinue" and "companion" when entering this building, and that every person who entered should have a completely clear line of coming and going, or checking, or taking, or storing, checking the cards, taking and depositing, and keeping and holding are meticulous.

When Pei Li pushed the door and walked in, the high hall was indeed solemn and quiet, and the legendary [Daji Mountain] did not show up. In fact, this is indeed the real Kongtong secret, and many disciples who enter the building do not know that there is such a building guard.

It's just that his gaze does overshadow everything, and in this building, any unusual behavior is faithfully recorded.

According to the marker, Pei Li is on the fourth floor of the path, and the case file of the law enforcement hall is placed in the left pavilion.

It's just that it's still empty.

Pei Ye looked down at the card in his hand, it was actually a piece of square paper pasted in a hinged wooden card, which read, "One leaf of lotus heart, nine birds under Panasonic, and twelve feathers." ”

Gan Zifeng explained to him this note, and when the registration is rolled into the building, he has to have such a receipt, which can not only be used to enter the building to check, but also indicate the location of the registration volume.

"Lotus Heart" refers to the name of the peak, the Law Enforcement Hall is directly under the [Lotus Heart Pavilion], "One Leaf" is different from other halls that belong to the same "Lotus Heart", and the classics stored in different peaks are placed on different floors.

"Panasonic" is the name of the hall, "Nine Birds" is the ninth wall of the bird word, "Yuwei" is the column, and "Twelve" is the serial number.

In this way, Pei Ye squatted down and touched this thin dossier.

A case that was closed seven years ago. Indeed, where it should be, no one notices.

Pei Ye reached out and took it out, and his eyes were on the side again.

Just to the right of this volume, there is an abrupt gap. The files further to the right are neatly stacked, except for one space here. Pei Li knew that there would be some obsolescence if there were too many scrolls in the Jing Pavilion, so he withdrew his gaze at this time and looked through the files in his hand.

It is a normal step in the investigation of a case, and the process is clear and simple, the law enforcement hall has examined the body, questioned all the people who should be questioned, and even the generation of Shangyu has done a careful investigation.

And Pei Ye had already read many case files, and now he pursed his lips and skipped all the investigation process and went straight to the place where the file was concluded.

The conclusion is settled on this page, which reads: "Ji Feng, a disciple of Xianqiao Peak, was heartbroken because of the defeat of the sword, and fell from the cliff in front of Yunping with his sword. Passing on the responsibility of his division is still left, and reconsider the competition between the peaks of [Iron Pine on Sword]. ”

Pei Ye moved his gaze down and fixed on the two lines below.

"[Cause of death]: High fall.

[Time of death]: March 21, dusk. ”

Pei Ye slowly spread out his hand, and the handwriting on the short note in his hand was still old and clear-"I'm sorry for you again, I'm waiting for you tonight." March 21, maple. ”

Turning the page back, there is a supplement from the year.

"Cai Wufeng advocated that Mei Qing please check the body again, suspecting that the heart and eye pupils are different, but the fall of the high cliff will inevitably break the heart; The corpse has been stored for three days, and the eyes should have turned gray. There is no follow-up. ”

——

"Zhang Meiqing accepted this result first." Pei Ye walked briskly on the straight road, leaving Gu Lou behind, and spoke quickly, "That night, he returned to the peak and suffered all night. But the next day, when I was sitting in my study and looking through the letters of the past, I suddenly saw this short note that was handed over at noon yesterday. ”

At that time, he realized that Ji Feng didn't wait for him.

"It's not that he doesn't have the desire to live, nor does he have no nostalgia for this teacher and uncle who is like a teacher and a friend." Pei Ye glanced down at the old note from seven years ago, "He was forcibly taken away by someone." ”

The black cat tilted his head: "But the Law Enforcement Hall did not approve of it." ”

"Because there's no clue to catch it." Pei Li said, "Zhang Meiqing believes that Ji Feng will not commit suicide after handing over the note, but the Law Enforcement Hall does not recognize this reason. After Zhang Meiqing gets this anomaly, she will definitely follow the check. ”

"Where?"

Xu Sheng said that in those days, he would stay in the study all night.

The black cat narrowed.

"One doesn't get suspicious of what one doesn't understand." Pei Ye stared at the mist in front of him, "It is written in the dossier that Ji Feng's bones were crippled after falling off the cliff, and his eyes burst out with blood. Zhang Meiqing said that such a pair of eyes were 'different', so he must have seen that strange appearance. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Xu Shang said that he had been in the Sword Cultivation Academy."

——————

Rainbow Fog Peak.

Pei Li returned to this library and looked up at the top column.

From the position where they are placed, it can be seen that even when the hostess is nostalgic for her deceased husband and flips through this book, she rarely touches those boring and mysterious books of the Dao.

Pei Li didn't know how to do it, but he didn't want to study this knowledge.

"Notes? He does do it often.,Next to each volume is the corresponding book.。 Xu Shang said, "But I don't understand it very well." ”

Pei Li reviewed it locally, and turned out all the books and notes related to the chapter of the mind, so some traces were immediately clear at a glance.

Even if you don't understand these esoteric texts, you can see that in a very short period of time, men have read these chapters in large numbers and intensively.

There are also many notes in other chapters, but they are all calm and careful, only the handwriting and sketches in these chapters are scribbled and messy, and sometimes the first half of the sentence is in one book, and the second half of the sentence runs to another book.

In these books, a term is frequently sketched.

Heart.

Pei Ye pursed his lips and stared, turned to look through the notes of those volumes, and there were still a large number of unfamiliar sentences, but fortunately, there was a date at this time, he flipped through them one by one, Xu Sheng was stunned for a while, and suddenly handed over three books and said: "These should be relatively new." ”

Pei Li took it, turned to the last few pages of the corresponding chapter, and pressed his hand here.

It's no longer a coherent note, it's full of messy notes, inferences, ideas. And from time to time something new is added to it.

Xu Shang watched all this in amazement. She never thought that in these more than ten thick and boring notes, there would be the last last pen of her deceased husband.

The two immediately spread out the books in order, Xu Shang took a blank notebook, and the two sat down at the table and began to sort out the pages one by one.

With the help of a woman who was familiar with handwriting, the work proceeded quickly, and gradually the man's deeds were vaguely outlined, and the sorrow of those days was finally revealed in front of the two of them after seven years.

Xu Sheng was already holding his knees and burying his head, sobbing silently, Pei Ye looked at the booklet with his hands on the table, and his eyebrows were unprecedentedly solemn.

The first sentence written by the man here is the first time he has written since returning from the Tibetan Scripture Building, and it is also the starting point of his search for the true murderer.

One.

"Yes, the nature of [Xinpo] is close to jade rather than mirror, it is a process that needs to be entered, and it must not make people lose consciousness when they see it. The illumination of the heart should be in three situations: the illuminator surrenders himself, the mood is gapped, and there is no resistance. ”

"If Xiao Feng really encountered a 'sword heart photo' that exceeded the dosage, he must have been restrained or deceived by others first."

"I have to go to Xianqiao Peak again."

Second.

"Two people."

"One person made Xiao Feng defenseless, and one person and one blow made Xiao Feng seriously injured and weakened, leaving no external injuries."

"Though there were many visitors that day, there was not a single outsider; Although Kongtong martial arts are complicated, there is no such kung fu. ”

"There's a spy in the door."
