Chapter 397: Trying to Catch the Past
Before dawn, before the sun rises and the moon has set, it is the darkest time of the day.
The candle flame on the desk made a burst of "zig" sounds, and gradually the oil ran out of lamps, and the last wisp of dusk was completely annihilated, and the study fell into darkness.
"Squeak!"
With a soft sound, the door was slowly pushed open. Immediately afterwards, Xie Xuan, who was full of melancholy, walked into the room with a candlestick.
Slowly and softly, without saying a word, he silently put the candlestick on the bookcase, and the halo gradually reflected Luo Tianjin's face.
He seemed to be much older all of a sudden, his face was vicissitudes, his stubble was messy, and his eyes were full of endless exhaustion and sorrow.
In just more than ten days, Luo Tianjin's people who have been tormented by the pain in his heart are not like people, and ghosts are not like ghosts. The wrinkles on the forehead and the whiteness of the sideburns all appeared overnight. The eyes that used to be black and white are now cloudy and godless. The momentum is sluggish, the spirit is decadent, the body is thin, and a person's spirit seems to have only the last wisp left in him.
The three souls are lost, the seven spirits are halved, and the changes in their people from the inside to the outside are unbelievable.
These days, Luo Tianjin has never rested properly, never eaten a decent meal, but is just in a daze day and night, sad alone.
Xie Xuan saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. But he knew that at this moment, even if there were a thousand words, they would taste the same as chewing wax. Therefore, he could only take care of the affairs of the house silently and do his best to save Luo Tianjin some worries.
"Mansion Master, I have prepared breakfast, you can eat something!" Xie Xuan said softly, "Right now, the life and death of the son are uncertain, the lady is seriously ill, and the young lady is even washing her face with tears all day long, if even you fall ill......"
"Find some Lang Zhong today and take care of Xuan'er's illness. Luo Tianjin's voice was weak and tired, "No matter what the price is, I want Xuan'er to live." ”
"Mansion Master......" Xie Xuan's face was bitter, "During this time, we have asked famous doctors, but they are all helpless against Gongzi's injury. Now, if we hadn't used our true qi every day to renew the life of our son, I'm afraid he would have ...... long ago Alas, with all due respect, Childe pierced his Baihui acupoint with one palm, and all the tendons and veins in his body were broken, even if the gods descended to earth, they would probably face Childe's injuries...... There is no way to return to heaven. We used our true qi to forcibly renew the life of our son, and we could only barely keep his last breath. Actually, Childe he ...... It's gone......"
"Even if Xuan'er is made to be a living dead for the rest of his life, I will never give up. Luo Tianjin's voice was small, but his tone was extremely resolute, "As long as he is alive, there is hope of resurrection." ”
"Using true qi to renew the life of the son, the internal force is extremely depleted, although we can grit our teeth and persist for a while, but it is by no means a long-term solution. Xie Xuan groaned, "I intend to send someone to Changbai Mountain to invite Granny Peach Blossom." She is the number one miracle doctor in the world, and if she heals her son, there may be a glimmer of hope. ”
"Do what you want!" Luo Tianjin said listlessly, "In short, Xuan'er must not die." ”
"Yes. ”
"Bang, bang!"
The sudden knock on the door made Xie Xuan feel refreshed and asked, "Who?"
"Mansion master, second master, I am Su Tang. ”
"What?"
"The second master is clever, using the method you taught, and finally found out the inner ghost. ”
Hearing this, Luo Tianjin's face changed suddenly. Seeing this, Xie Xuan hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"
"Jin Mingyuan's shopkeeper, Lao Jia. ”
"What about people?"
"Waiting outside the door. ”
Xie Xuan turned his inquiring gaze to Luo Tianjin, and seeing that his face was gloomy and his eyes were cold, he shouted loudly: "Bring him in!"
"Yes!"
Between the words, the scarred Lao Jia was escorted into the room by Su Tang.
"Get on your knees!"
Su Tang kicked Lao Jia's leg in the crook, making him unsteady on his feet, and he fell to the ground with a "poof".
"Who are you?" Xie Xuan turned sideways slightly, so that Luo Tianjin could see Lao Jia's face clearly, "Why did you secretly communicate with Di Mo? How long have you colluded? Who instigated it, and what is the conspiracy?"
Facing Xie Xuan, who was aggressively asking, Lao Jia smiled miserably, shook his head and said: "Anyway, it's a death horizontally and vertically, I don't know anything, you kill me!"
"You can not be afraid of death, but I have a thousand ways to make your life worse than death!" Xie Xuan's face sank, and his voice was cold and terrifying, "Di Mo committed a heinous capital crime, and you secretly colluded with him, and the same crime is unforgivable." ”
Lao Jia looked at Luo Tianjin and Xie Xuan with complicated eyes, for some reason, his body suddenly trembled, and at the same time, his eyes were fierce, as if he had made up some kind of determination.
"Whoosh!"
However, before Lao Jia bit his tongue and committed suicide, Xie Xuan pointed a finger in the air and sealed his acupoint, making him unable to beg for death.
"Your life is no longer yours, and it is not up to you whether you live or die. As for this, Xie Xuan's tone suddenly sank, and he said angrily, "Say, where is Di Mo, who is the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Facing the fierce and vicious Xie Xuan, Lao Jia, who couldn't move, gritted his teeth and put on a posture of preferring death to an unyielding position.
"Su Tang, chop off his fingers one by one......"
"Wait a minute!"
Before Xie Xuan's words fell, Luo Tianjin, who was silent, suddenly spoke: "I don't like to entangle with people, and I don't like to go around in circles with people. There are some things that I will only say once, you don't have to bend your will to welcome you, and you don't have to go against the yin. Dead or alive? You only have one choice. Got it?"
Luo Tianjin's voice was as flat as water, but it made Lao Jia's heart suddenly tighten. Xie Xuan explained his acupoints, and he subconsciously blurted out: "Understood." ”
"That's good!" Luo Tianjin said again, "My condition is that as long as you tell me the truth, I will let you live and let you go back to reunite with your wife and children." If you insist on refusing, I will not embarrass you, and will immediately send you back to the West, and I will never ask any more questions. How?"
Hearing this, Lao Jia's eyebrows couldn't help but show a hint of hesitation. His brows were furrowed, his eyes were wandering, and he seemed to be very entangled in his heart.
"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood. Xie Xuan reminded, "The rivers and lakes are sinister, and people are unpredictable, you should understand what I mean." ”
"This ......" Lao Jia's eyes became more and more excited, and he said suspiciously, "If I say it, you really won't kill me?" Lord Luofu, the little brain is stupid, don't lie to me......
"Nobody, what qualifications do you have for me to lie and lie to you?" Luo Tianjin said impatiently, "If I don't kill you, I won't kill you." The premise is that you take the initiative to say everything. ”
"Okay!" Lao Jia shook his heart and happily promised, "I believe that the famous King Beixian will never lie to me......"
"Less nonsense!" Su Tang urged, "Say it quickly!"
"It was Di Mo who bought me in advance! He said that the Dragon Boat Festival would make a big fuss in King Xian's Mansion, and asked me to help him avoid being chased afterwards. To tell you the truth, in the days when the Xianwang Mansion had an accident, you went around to track down his whereabouts, and at that time...... He has been hiding in Jin Mingyuan and has not left Luoyang at all. I know that the most dangerous place is the safest, and you all think that he ran as far as he could, so a large number of men and horses chased him outside the city, and no one could have imagined that he would stay in the city all the time. ”
Hearing this, Xie Xuan and Su Tang's faces changed at the same time, because they had realized that Lao Jia was lying.
However, without waiting for Xie Xuan to expose it, Luo Tianjin preemptively spoke: "When will Di Mo leave the city, and where will he flee?"
"This ......"
"At this point, I have no interest in the cause of your collusion. Right now, I just want to find Di Mo and avenge my son. Luo Tianjin said, "Therefore, if you tell Di Mo's whereabouts, you can leave." ”
"Is this true?" said Lao Jia in surprise, "Aren't you afraid that I will lie?"
Luo Tianjin said faintly: "Although Luo is not talented, he has never said big things. If you dare to deceive me, you will surely die in ten days. Also, whether you tell Di Mo's whereabouts or not, he will also die within a month. Do you believe it or not?"
"This ......"
Lao Jia looked hesitant, and secretly calculated in his heart: "Di Mo has offended Luo Tianjin, if the Jinwu Lord wants to protect him, he will be an enemy of Luo Tianjin...... No, the Golden Dock Lord would never tear his face with Luo Tianjin because of Di Mo. The life and death of Luo Hongxuan, who Di Mo harmed, is uncertain, but it is a deep hatred in the sea of blood, and it is definitely not a sentence or two that can be relieved. Now, Luo Tianjin has issued an order to chase and kill the rivers and lakes, and at this juncture, I am afraid that no one will dare to come forward to protect him. Seemingly...... Di Mo is in danger...... However, I will tell Di Mo's whereabouts, in case Di Mo shakes out the Golden Dock Lord, what should I do? If the matter is revealed, the Golden Dock Lord will definitely be angry with me......
"I'll only give you half a pillar of incense time to think about it. ”
Luo Tianjin's voice made Lao Jia's body tremble, and he secretly said in his heart: "Right now, Luo Tianjin's hatred is Di Mo, why should I be his substitute ghost?" Maybe, Di Mo will not shake out the Jinwu master, or he will be killed by Luo Tianjin's people without having a chance to shake it out...... If that happens, I have at least half a chance of survival...... It's better to die than to live, and you can only take one step at a time in the future...... If you are destined to die in the world, you will flee with your family at that time, at least you will be reunited...... Brother Di, Brother Di, you are already in prison, you will definitely die, it is better to save your brother's life, and it can be regarded as accumulating some yin virtue for the next life......"
Thinking of this, Lao Jia's eyes suddenly became ruthless, and he said bluntly: "Di Mo left Luoyang three days ago and went to Tangzhou disguised as Jin Mingyuan's guys. He wanted to take advantage of Tangzhou and wait for an opportunity to go south, as for where to go...... I really don't know. ”
"You can go!" Luo Tianjin said expressionlessly.
"The ...... of the Lord"
"Let him go!" Luo Tianjin ignored Xie Xuan and Su Tang's dissuasion, and said to himself, "Right now, I just want to find Di Mo." ”
"Thank you Luo Mansion Lord! Thank you Luo Mansion Lord!"
Lao Jia, who was in a desperate situation, was relieved, and could no longer take care of his injuries, so he hurriedly shook Luo Tianjin again and again, and then fled and left the Xianwang Mansion.
Su Tang was puzzled and said: "Mansion master, this person is flamboyant and forgetful, I don't believe that he dares to go against the Xianwang Mansion." Someone must have instructed him to do so, so why let him go?"
He would rather bite his tongue and kill himself than say who is behind the scenes. If we don't let him go, we'll never know who the mastermind is. Luo Tianjin exhaled a breath of turbidity and said lightly, "This person is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but nostalgic for his wife and children." Presumably, his family is now hostage. Therefore, as long as you send someone to follow him secretly, the answer will be known. ”
Hearing this, Xie Xuan and Su Tang couldn't help but suddenly realize, and their faces showed admiration.
"Mansion Master, about Di Mo's ...... in Tangzhou"
"It shouldn't be true. Luo Tianjin said, "Although Lao Jia is cunning, which sentence he said is true and which sentence is false? ”
Xie Xuan's spirits perked up, and he said in a condensed voice: "Di Mo eats inside and out, his sins are unforgivable, and he must clean up the portal for the Xianwang Mansion." I don't know who the mansion master plans to send to Tangzhou?"
"What do you think?"
"Di Mo has a broken arm, and his martial arts are not as good as before, but after all, the foundation is still there, and ordinary disciples are afraid that it will be difficult to succeed. Xie Xuan pondered, "In my opinion, you can choose one of the seven heroes, and you will definitely be able to achieve success and avenge the shame of the mansion lord and the son." ”
"No!" Luo Tianjin shook his head slowly, "You have to stay in the mansion to renew Xuan'er's life, and you can't leave easily." For the trip to Tangzhou, I have the right person in mind, and this errand is ...... He has to be. ”
"The lord of the house is talking about ......"
"The successor of the black fan, Liu Xunyi!"
