Chapter 71 The Truth That Can't Be Revealed
The secret door to the underground opened, and the rootless real person walked up.
"What are you arguing about?" asked the rootless man.
I hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Where is the fairy grandmother?"
The rootless real person said: "She's meeting guests." β
"I'm going down to her. As I spoke, I ran to the secret door.
Before I could get there, the door slammed shut.
"Child, don't be in such a hurry, there are not so many things in this world that burn eyebrows. The first time she was meeting an important guest, the two of them had to say something close to themselves. Didn't you see that I avoided it?" said the Rootless Masato as he sat down on the chair next to the offering table.
Frustrated, I sat listlessly on the stool next to me.
"Are you here for the Buddha's business?" asked the rootless real person.
Before I could answer, she said, "Don't worry, there are already people looking for the first seat for this." β
I thought to myself, just now I watched the sailor's parents go home, who else would come for the sake of my father's business?
I said to myself, "Who else?"
When He Xuanya heard this, she laughed and said, "Xiao Yuan, I find that you are very entangled every day. How many things do you have to worry about in this day? β
I was silent.
"Don't think about it anymore, I'll tell you, it's Grandma Bai. He Xuanya said.
As soon as I heard this, I finally understood that there could be no other person besides her who cared about Daddy as much as Sailor's parents, but in order to be sure that it was Sailor's grandmother, I asked, "Which white grandmother?"
"How many white grandmothers are there in our village? He Xuanya said.
At this time, I was no longer anxious about the "real murderer", but worried about my father.
"Grandma, have they come up with a way to save Daddy?" I asked the rootless real person.
"I haven't figured it out yet, but I have the general idea. "Rootless real person said.
"What's the idea?" I asked.
"Find the real culprit. The rootless real person replied succinctly.
When I heard these four words, I was dumbfounded.
Because, first, this line of thinking coincides with what Master Chong proposed; second, doesn't the fairy grandmother know who the real murderer is, and does she also have to turn herself in? Will she take me and He Xuanya with her when she turns herself in?
Just when I was puzzled, the secret door opened again, and the fairy grandmother walked up.
I ran over and asked, "Grandma, where is the sailor's grandmother?"
"She's gone. Grandma said.
"Gone, I didn't see her go out just now. β
"Where do you have to go through this door?" said the fairy grandmother, sitting on the chair on the other side of the offering table on the right hand side of the rootless real person.
I didn't care about whether the sailor's grandmother left or not, and said impatiently: "Grandma, it's not good." β
"What's so good, what are you coming to me for at this time?" said the fairy grandmother kindly looking at me.
I told me in detail about the sixth master's family under the mountain just now.
Finally, he said: "Sixth Master, if they can't find the real murderer, what can Daddy do, and if the real murderer is found, then what should we do?"
When the fairy grandmother heard this, she smiled and said, "Xiao Yuan, you are such a smart baby, how can you do all the bad things on yourself?"
I must have been stunned.
Grandma continued, "We killed the demon fighter, but the man was not killed by us, but by the demons. The real murderer is the nature of the demons, and not only are we not murderers, but we are also the ones who avenge the dead. β
"But the demon fighter has turned to ashes, how can I catch the demon and clear my father's guilt?" I said.
"The affairs of the demons and the demon fighters must not be known to the world. Nor is it possible for us to catch the demons and send them to the officials. Grandma said.
The fairy grandmother was silent for a while, then suddenly looked at me, then at He Xuanya, and said, "You two go down the mountain now and invite Yi Qichong up the mountain, and I will discuss with him about tomorrow." β
When He Xuanya and I heard this, we immediately went out.
The fairy grandmother shouted behind her: "As long as Yiqi rushes to one person, don't let anyone else follow." β
He Xuanya and I went down the mountain to the sixth master's house, saying that there was an acquaintance who wanted to see Uncle Chong.
Uncle Chong didn't ask who it was, and followed us up the mountain.
As soon as we entered the door, the fairy grandmother got up to greet us and asked, "Is the mountain lord okay?"
Master Chong shook his head gloomily and said, "Master Venerable has been bedridden for half a year now. In the past few days, I have become more and more unable to get up, so I was sent to ask Senior Brother Zheng to go up the mountain, presumably to explain the future. Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Zheng encountered such a thing. β
The fairy grandmother asked Uncle Chong to sit on the chair on the outside of the square table on the left side of the middle hall, and she did not return to the seat next to the offering table, but sat on the chair on the side of the square table.
After sitting down, the fairy grandmother said, "The senior brother you said is the Buddha's generation, right?"
Chong Shibo said: "Exactly, during the art period in the mountain, the ancestor gave him the name Yiqi Zheng, so our brothers on the mountain are all called 'Sheng'. β
The fairy grandmother said: "I heard that you will go up the mountain tomorrow to investigate the real murderer, but I want to tell you the truth today." β
Uncle Chong said: "Ximu senior, please speak." β
The fairy grandmother said, "The person who disappeared was not hidden, nor was he killed. β
Uncle Chong leaned his head close to the fairy grandmother and said, "So that person is still there?"
The fairy grandmother sighed and said, "Alasββ, if it were still there, there wouldn't be so much to do." β
Uncle Chong didn't know how to answer for a while.
The fairy grandmother explained: "That person was actually invaded by a demon corpse, and he ran to an inaccessible place alone. Luckily, we were found by a mute herding sheep and told us. When we went up the mountain, we found that the man had become a demon fighter. It's just that the Demon Fighter wasn't very strong at that time, so we didn't have much effort to get rid of it. The soul of the person who disappeared had long since been destroyed by the demons.
"So if you go up the mountain with Cunli tomorrow, you won't be able to find the real culprit you want, and I will tell you the truth of the matter, and this truth cannot be announced in front of the world.
"I invite you to the house today, that is, to consult with you on a foolproof solution to this matter. The Buddha is your junior brother, and to me, he is also half a son. So, our purpose is the same, which is to make sure that he can come out of it safely. β
After listening to this, Uncle Chong pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "So that's the case, I'm still wondering today, a living person, no matter what, you can't just disappear all at once." That's why I wanted to find out because of my curiosity, on the one hand, I wanted to do something for my brother, and on the other hand, I wanted to do something. β
After hearing this, the fairy grandmother laughed and said: "I have long heard that the eldest disciple of the mountain lord of Shouyang Mountain is very intelligent, especially good at deducing mystery cases, and today I have really seen the style of high art and courage. β
Uncle Chong arched his hand on the seat and said, "Ximu's predecessors praised it falsely. Since it involves evil spirits, the truth of this matter must not be known to everyone, let alone used as evidence in court. β
After speaking, he stroked his beard, looked at the word "heaven and earth" above the middle hall, and gently shook his head to pretend to think.
Suddenly, he patted the corner of Fang Ji's table with his hand, and said, "There is!"
