"Don't look for it, I'm here. "On the cliff beside the stone pile, a rock suddenly crumpled like a piece of cloth, revealing a hole from which an old man with long white hair and a long beard came out.

The old man was not only not the slightest rickety, but also very tall. His hair, beard, and eyebrows are all white, but his eyes are very clear, like a fairy wind and bones.

"Senior, dare to ask your name. Zhen Feiyun bowed. He knew that the one who lived in seclusion in such a deep valley must be a high-ranking man.

Without waiting for the old man to answer, Zhen Feihuo said in surprise: "Could you be...... "He was standing where the old man had just walked out of the cliff, and he had already touched the position of the cave entrance and its surroundings with both hands, and it was completely a piece of rock, and there was no cave entrance at all!

The old man stroked his long beard hanging down his chest and smiled: "Young man, remember, sometimes, seeing is not necessarily believing. For example, the corpse you see on the boat looks like your father, but it is not. ”

The Zhen brothers glanced at each other, and said to the old man together: "I want to hear about it." ”

"You cried and wailed when you saw a false father, but now you see a true father, but you do not know it. A female voice sounded behind several people. Everyone looked back in shock, but found that the woman in white who had fought with the Zhen brothers and Tian Xiaoying outside Jianlin Village was standing next to the stone pile, but she was now dressed in black.

The Zhen brothers, Hua Qingyu, and Fei Tukong were all no more than a foot away from the stone pile, and everyone did not notice when the woman appeared.

Zhen Feiyun asked respectfully, "Thank you, girl, for reporting the news." But what did the girl mean by what she had just said, forgive my brother for being stupid, where is our father?"

The woman turned sideways, raised her hands and wiped them up and down in midair, and a stone tablet appeared out of thin air in front of the stone pile. It was a tombstone, to be exact. The stele is engraved with the words "Tomb of the Deceased Brother Zhen Tuhai", and there is a column of small characters at the bottom right of the "Righteous Brother Yuan". In front of the tombstone, there are also several jars of wine. Zhen Feiyun and Zhen Feihuo both remembered that it was their father's favorite good wine.

The stone pile turned out to be Zhen Tuhai's tomb, and the Zhen brothers were a little at a loss.

"My brother-in-law, your father, died years ago. The white-haired old man walked to the tombstone and squatted down, poured a bowl of wine, and spilled it on the ground.

The two brothers looked at each other, unable to believe the old man's words.

"My righteous brother was kind-hearted and refused to listen to my admonitions, and finally raised snakes and was plotted by the wicked. It's a pity that I was thousands of miles away at that time, and I was in danger myself, and it was difficult to help, alas......" The old man sighed regretfully.

"Senior, what is going on? If it is our father who is in the grave, then who is it that was captured by the White Flower Gang? Who is the corpse on the cargo ship?" Zhen Feiyun asked.

The woman replied for the old man: "The person who was taken away and the body on the cargo ship are the same person, and they were killed by my own hands. ”

"Then you are a member of the White Flower Gang?" Zhen Feihuo felt that things were a bit chaotic, and his mind was about to turn around.

The woman giggled and said, "I'm not from the killer gang. Let's listen to the old man. ”

"My brother-in-law and I have known each other for a long time. Although the places where we live are far apart, we often come and go, discussing the secret techniques and formations with each other, and even when he gets married, I still make a matchmaker! More than a year after the marriage of the younger brother and sister, a new ding has been added to the family, that is, you," the old man glanced at Zhen Feiyun, "Even your 'Feiyun' name was given by me, which means 'soaring into the sky' and 'steady progress'." ”

"I'm sorry, but my father and mother never told me about your old age, so I didn't know any of that. Zhen Feiyun said.

"Well, it doesn't matter, they don't tell you that I actually mean it. For I wanted to wait until you were grown up to take you as an apprentice, so that you would not know my relationship with your parents and not obey me. Later, when you were three years old, you had a serious illness, and your parents searched for famous doctors, but they couldn't cure you, and finally in desperation, they came to me with the idea of 'treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor'. But I don't know how to heal, so I'm going to take you to the far north alone, for I've heard that there are masters of healing. ”

Zhen Feiyun scratched his head: "Why don't I remember this?"

The old man smiled: "At that time, you were groggy and fell asleep in my arms from beginning to end, so naturally you don't remember. ”

"And then?"

"Later, I did find the rumored master of medicine, but I tried my best to almost kneel, but the master still refused to heal you. ”

"Why is this?" Zhen Feihuo said in surprise, "The doctor is benevolent, and he should be proud of saving the dead and helping the wounded!"

"I later learned that the master was not a healer, but only a master of pharmacology. The old man said.

Zhen Feihuo wondered: "Isn't being proficient in pharmacology the same as being proficient in medical skills?"

The mysterious woman said, "You can ask the girl about this." She pointed to Hua Qingyu.

"Your point of view can be both correct and incorrect. The essence of pharmacology and medical technology is similar in part, that is, the beneficial effects on the human body. But they also have different parts. Pharmacology, focusing on the characteristics of the herbs themselves and their impact on the human body, the word 'medicine' contains not only good medicines that cure diseases and injuries in the ordinary sense, but also poisons that are harmful to the human body. Generally speaking, as long as it has an impact on the human body, it can be counted in the category of 'medicine'. Pharmacology is the study of 'medicine'. Medical skills are different, medical skills have the most direct purpose - to save lives and help the wounded, and medicine is only one of the many means of medical skills. Such as acupuncture, massage, bloodletting, and even extreme methods such as amputation, acupoints, etc., these medical methods have nothing to do with medication...... "Hua Qingyu said a lot, and several people were in a fog.

Seeing the dazed look on the Zhen family brothers' faces, Hua Qingyu smiled awkwardly, pondered for a moment, and said, "To put it simply, if a person claims to be proficient in medical skills, it means that he is."

He has already tacitly accepted that he has a responsibility to 'save lives and help the wounded', and if he only says that he is proficient in pharmacology, then he has no obligation to save people. Of course, this is only an explanation that puts aside the moral dimension. ”

"In other words, that master claimed to be proficient in pharmacology, so he could not save me from death?" Zhen Feiyun still didn't agree with such an action.

The mysterious woman sneered: "Childe, it's your business that you have a good heart, you can't and can't impose this concept on others. You must know that there are thousands of people in the world, and not all people's hearts are based on benevolence, righteousness and morality. There are many people who repay virtue with grievances, so they should protect themselves in the world. ”

"That's right. Actually, I don't complain about that master, because she herself is in a very difficult situation. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid she didn't have the conditions to heal you at that time. Although she did not heal you, she said that she had given you a way to live, otherwise how could you have lived to this day?" said the old man.

"Oh?"

"She told me with great certainty that you were not sick at all, but poisoned. ”

"Poisoning?" Zhen Feiyun was startled, he was only three years old at that time, what kind of person was so mad that he poisoned a three-year-old child?

Zhen Feihuo asked in surprise: "Big brother, you shouldn't have left Sword Forest Village before you were three years old, right? No, you shouldn't have left your father's side at all! How could you be poisoned?"

"And it's not an ordinary poison, otherwise the famous doctors who were invited from the neighborhood would have been able to identify it. Zhen Feiyun had a gloomy face, "Senior, the person who poisoned me is not my father's ......"

"It's your father's twin brother, your uncle-Zhen Tushan!"

Zhen Feiyun's previous guess was confirmed: "Sure enough, that memory is true, not a dream!"

The old man continued: "Zhen Tushan is a prodigy who refines poisons, but it's a pity that he has gone the wrong way. Your father was afraid that he would go out and harm others, so he kept him in the village, but he did not hesitate to poison his own nephew in order to test the effect of the new poison. When your father found out the truth, Thunder was furious and put your uncle in handcuffs and locked him in a dilapidated house. ”

"Yes, yes! When I stumbled into the broken house, I was about four years old!" Zhen Feiyun said.

"Your father found that poison, hired many antidote masters, worked day and night to develop an antidote, and saved your life, and then carefully recuperated for you for more than half a year, and you finally fully recovered. After this incident, I proposed to my brother-in-law for the first time to kill your evil uncle, but your father did not agree, and only transferred him to the dungeon of Sword Forest Village.

After a few years of calm, another thing happened. There was a traitor in Jianlin Village, and the news that your father had a copy of "Harvesting the Secret Fu" leaked, attracting several masters to come to the village to snatch the secret Fu. Fortunately, your father was prepared and sent the three of you out of the village ahead of time. But alas, your mother died in that battle to protect the village. ”

"Ah!" the two brothers were shocked.

"It turned out that Dad sent us to a friend's house in Lingwei Domain to play for more than two months that summer, just to escape the disaster! After picking us up, Dad told us that my mother was sick and died. Zhen Feihuo was sad.

"Alas, it's a pity that I was in retreat in the deep mountains and old forests to study the formation at that time, and I couldn't rush to the aid of Sword Forest Village in time, and when I arrived, my younger brother and sister had already passed away. However, I examined the body and found that her death was not so simple. As soon as the old man's words changed, things became confusing again.

"But it's the uncle again?" Zhen Feiyun asked.

"Quite possibly. Your mother's death was miserable, not like she died from external injuries, but like she had suffered extremely serious internal injuries to her internal organs. At that time, there were blood stains in her eyes, ears, and mouth, her meridians were broken, and her face was withered, as if her true yuan had been exhausted due to excessive use of power after a long period of physical weakness. So my guess is that she must have been poisoned by some kind of poison that slowly eroded her body before the war. ”

Zhen Fei's tears rained down: "I have an impression." That year, my mother's body was really sick, her face was always not good-looking, and she always looked tired. But isn't the uncle imprisoned in the dungeon? How can he still poison his mother?"

"It was your mother who was in charge of the dungeon in the first place. Every once in a while, your mother has to go to the dungeon to see what is going on. Although Zhen Tushan was locked up in prison, the shackles were removed. I suspect that it was when your mother inspected that Zhen Tushan used some trick to poison your mother. It's a pity that there is no evidence, so I suggested that my righteous brother kill Zhen Tushan for the second time, but he still refused. The old man recalled the past, shook his head and sighed.

"Then how did my father die......? No, Zhen Tushan, how did he escape from the dungeon?" Zhen Feiyun no longer wanted to call that wicked person "uncle".

After this incident, the righteous brother didn't want to keep Zhen Tushan in the village anymore, he talked with Zhen Tushan all night, and finally gave him a sum of money and let him leave. No, this time the benevolent decision made by the righteous brother out of brotherhood was the biggest mistake he made. Zhen Tushan not only didn't know how to be grateful to Dai De, but he intensified his efforts! He not only killed his righteous brother, but also occupied Jianlin Village, so that the three brothers who didn't know his existence from beginning to end recognized him as a thief as their father, and relied on the name of their righteous brother to break through on the rivers and lakes to do evil, which is really hateful!" the old man said this, his eyebrows were angry, and he gritted his teeth.

Zhen Feiyun asked in a trembling voice, "How did Zhen Tushan's guy kill his father?"

The old man shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation, because at that time, my own life was not guaranteed, and I didn't dare to show my face on the rivers and lakes." A few years ago, when I unexpectedly reunited with my 'righteous brother', I recognized him at a glance as Zhen Tushan pretending. Fortunately, my brother never mentioned me to him, so he didn't know that my brother had such a brother-in-law as me. I pretended not to know, made friends with Zhen Tushan, and later worshipped him and Liu Qianling, the leader of the White Ghost Gang, for the purpose of avenging my righteous brother. But before I can do it, I have one thing that must be done, that is, to find the bones of my righteous brother, help him to bury him, and then use the head of the wicked to pay tribute to the dead soul of my righteous brother. pass through

After a long period of secret investigation, I finally learned that Zhen Tushan led people to chase and kill his righteous brother, and chased him all the way to the vicinity of Cangyun Ridge. Eventually, I found my brother's bones on the mountain that had been exposed for many years, and the grudge was finally over. The old man said, and sprinkled another bowl of wine on the undead.

Out of nowhere, the mysterious woman took out a blood-dripping bag and placed it in front of the tombstone. After unfolding, it was Zhen Tushan's head inside. She said, "After you left Baoyue Bay, I beheaded the corpse, chopped it up, and threw it into the river to feed the fish." ”

The truth was revealed, and the two brothers of the Zhen family finally understood why their previously amiable father suddenly changed his temperament over the years. Thinking of his father's tragic death and exposing his body in the wilderness for many years, he regarded the enemy who killed his father as his own father's filial piety, and the two brothers were like knives. The two of them knelt down in front of the grave, drank the blood of the enemy into the wine, and cried and sacrificed Zhen Tuhai. During this period, the old man sighed from time to time, the mysterious woman was silent, Fei Tukong shook her head again and again, and Hua Qingyu was full of tears. The pain of losing a loved one is far greater than the pain of the skin.

The tragedy of the Zhen family is already clear, but there are still many questions unanswered about the attack on Jianlinzhuang. The mysterious woman claimed that she and the White Flower Gang were not all the way, so where is Zhen Feiyi?

After worshipping his father, Zhen Feiyun wiped away his tears, pulled Zhen Feihuo and kowtowed to the old man: "Shibo must be the 'uncle', right? Although it is false that you and Zhen Tushan are worshipping, but the worship with your father is true, and now you have avenged your father.

The old man hurriedly helped the two of them up: "The two virtuous nephews get up quickly." If you don't blame the old man for not helping my brother, I'm already very happy. The two of you are so promising, I believe that the righteous brother and brother and sister will also feel comforted in the spirit of the heavens!"

"Shibo, the two of us still have something to trust! I beg you to save our third brother!" Zhen Feihuo refused to get up, and continued to kowtow to the old man.

"The virtuous nephew doesn't have to worry, the younger brother is safe and sound, but after learning the truth of the matter, he was heartbroken and cried until he fainted. As he spoke, the old man bent down and picked up a few stones from his feet.

Several people looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he was doing. I saw the old man's hand shake, and the stones flew out like sharp arrows, hitting several places on the cliffs on both sides. Suddenly, several figures appeared not far away.

Standing were three women, Du Huairou, Guan Lingyun, and Liu Qianling. Zhen Feiyi was lying on the ground, his eyes red and swollen, and his face was full of dried tears.

"Formation!" Fei Tukong suddenly realized, immediately ran over, and asked with concern, "Miss Liu, you don't matter, right?"

Liu Qianling glanced at him: "The grievances between you and me have been cleared, and from now on, you should be a stranger, don't get close to me!"

Fei Tukong touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "Oh, it looks like it's okay, it's okay if it's okay......"

"The formation of the Yuan seniors is really the pinnacle!" Hua Qingyu exclaimed. In fact, she was suspecting just now that there should be a magic circle at the bottom of the valley, whether it was Du Huairou and them, or the mysterious woman, and the appearance of the white-haired old man himself was very abrupt, even the tombstone. Hua Qingyu believes that these people should always be at the bottom, but others can't detect it.

"I'm sorry, but my own situation is also precarious, so I hid at the bottom of this valley and set up a magic circle to hide people's eyes. I asked them to keep quiet, in order to test the results of my years of studying formations. Miss Qingyu, I'm really offended. The old man said.

"I said why can't I contact them, it turns out that it is also the effect of the formation isolation of the predecessors of the Yuan. Awesome!" Hua Qingyu admired it so much that she threw herself to the ground. This formation master, who lives in seclusion at the bottom of the valley, is afraid that he will not be inferior compared to Wan Mingzuo's envoy Chi Feng.

"Shibo, I still have questions. Who are the people of the White Flower Gang? Where is the book "Secret Fu of Harvesting"?" Zhen Feiyun asked, "Now that Zhen Tushan is dead, isn't that secret fu going to be lost?"

""Harvesting the Secret Fu" is the most cherished treasure of the righteous brother, in fact, after the news was leaked, he has already handed over the secret Fu to me for safekeeping. I have summoned you here for two purposes: first, to inform you of the truth of the matter, and second, to fulfill my brother's wish and return the Secret Fu of Harvest to your brother. But I want to tell you, if you are not at the gossip level, you must not cultivate the secret endowment. As for the White Flower Gang, they are also a group of scum in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know who instructed them to go to Jianlinzhuang to seize the secret endowment, in my opinion, it is just a good show of 'dog eat dog'. The funny thing is that even Zhen Tushan himself doesn't know where the secret fu is hidden. The old man took out a slightly worn book from his bosom and handed it to Zhen Feiyun, "Speaking of which, I also have to thank those people, after all, they 'helped' me to get Zhen Tushan out of the Sword Forest Village, so that I could easily take revenge." ”

"Senior Yuan, and this girl, I also have something I want to ask you. Hua Qingyu said, "I heard what Senior Yuan said just now, in order to find Zhen Tuhai's bones, I once went to the vicinity of Cangyun Ridge. Are you going to Twin Moon Peak?"

The mysterious woman smiled, "Exactly." I didn't expect you to be arrested later. ”

Liu Qianling was shocked, stepped forward and said, "What, the old man and the woman in white that Zhen Feiyi is looking for turn out to be the eldest brother, you and this girl?"

"Haha, third sister, in order to prevent you from suffering, there are some things that my brother has to hide from you. I'm sorry. The old man said.

Liu Qianling pursed her lips: "I'll just say, with the eldest brother's person, how can he be with Zhen Tuhai...... No, it's the scum of Zhen Tushan?"

The person is right, but Hua Qingyu has more things to care about, she looked directly at the mysterious woman, and asked her bluntly: "Girl, the poison in the Tianxing River, but what did you do?"

The mysterious woman was stunned for a moment, and said with a straight face: "Qingyu, Hugh is rude!"

"Huh?" Hua Qingyu felt that the woman's tone was a little inexplicable.

"I was dressed in white when I saw you during the day, and now I am dressed in black at night, can't you guess my identity?"
