Chapter 8, Section 7 Outside Hangzhou

According to the old man without eyebrows, he followed what Xiao Fei said and really found the old site of the Tianhanmen station. But it is true that as Xiao Fei said, the entire valley is buried by snow, and from the fracture of the snow layer on the surrounding cliffs, it is not difficult to find traces of gunpowder explosion in the past many years, after all, there are few people there, and it is still difficult to erase all traces with the power of creation alone.

As for the valley under the snow, Wumei only picked a place with a little vegetation to excavate, and after three months of excavation, he finally found something: a broken antler, a few broken bricks and wall stones.

Due to the long journey, the old man without eyebrows did not bring these things back, but only told Xiao Fei in detail some details: the antlers were hard, like the things on the body of an old deer; the bricks and tiles had faint traces of burning, and the patterns on them were obvious, which should be the decorations of the eaves of the palace; as for the wall stones, the size of two palms, engraved with words, and clearly visible, about thirteen or fourteen, according to him, it should be a giant shadow wall fragment with martial arts and mental methods.

Xiao Fei couldn't help but feel related when he heard this, of course he knew what it was, after all, it was the place where they had lived for many years, and there were too many memories of him. The antlers should be the male sika deer "Hua Yu" raised by Shi Bo Wang Dian, this deer should be much older than Xiao Fei if he lives until now, Hua Yu is extremely psychic, Xiao Fei and a few of them don't know how many happy childhood times were spent on Hua Yu's back. Masonry, Xiao Fei didn't see it with his own eyes, and couldn't accurately say its origin, because in Tianhanmen, after hundreds of thousands of years, there are too many halls and halls in the valley, although they are few, but through various dynasties and generations, there is no shortage of skilled people in the followers of Tianhanmen, and the houses in the valley are also very different in style from age and region, each with its own characteristics. And the wall stone that Wumei said, Xiao Fei can be sure, it is a fragment of the "three unique stones" of Tianhan Gate, the three unique stones stand about 800 steps to the main gate of Tianhan Gate, more than seven zhang high, eleven zhang and seven feet long, and the wall thickness varies from eight feet to two zhang, which is a natural boulder. It is engraved with the three stunts of the Tianhan Gate: the dragon soars, the tiger leaps, and the phoenix spreads its wings! When the six sons of Tianhan learned the three uniques, they learned and felt under this boulder.

Xiao Fei said what he could think of, and Wumei carefully, just saying that Wang Dian was his master, and it was not a deception to Wumei, after all, he didn't say his name directly, and Wang Dian was the guide of his sword and medical path, so it is not an exaggeration.

"Your master and apprentice are actually people from Tianhanmen!" Wumei was very shocked after hearing this, without him, Tianhanmen is too mysterious, although after many years, Tianhanmen is still synonymous with mystery in the rivers and lakes. And the mysterious swordsman he met back then, the swordsmanship is unpredictable, if it is a person from the Tianhan Sect, it is not surprising.

"Now that the master has been defeated, hehe, there is nothing that the younger generation can't say. Xiao Fei sighed sadly.

"Don't be too upset, boy. It's a matter of people, the old man's trip to the snowy region is not without gain, at least he knows that this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. You are still young, with your talent and understanding, you will definitely be able to investigate and deal with the truth of the year, severely punish the murderer, and then revitalize the mountain gate and carry forward the martial arts of this sect!" Wumei comforted.

And Yin Xiaomei on the side didn't know what they were talking about, but vaguely heard that her Lang Jun originally belonged to a Jianghu sect, and the name of that sect had never been heard of.

At this time, they were already walking on the official road to Hangzhou, three horses, and the journey was very fast. It's not that Xiao Fei is bold, but the old man without eyebrows can really give him such confidence. Since this old man joined, Xiao Fei has already planned to do so, considering his strength. The day after the two met, they met Chen Yifeng and Zhang Jizi and led people to intercept them.

Wumei did not live up to Xiao Fei's expectations, defeating the ghost sword in seven moves, and piercing Chen Yifeng's right arm in five moves. Under the defeat of his two masters, Chen Jiazhai had no courage to fight again, and fled in a hurry with the two wounded.

Since then, Xiao Fei and the three of them have been swaggering on the official road, no longer thinking about the flies behind them. More than ten days later, the city of Hangzhou is already in sight.

Considering the current situation of the Xiao family in Hangzhou, Xiao Fei didn't want to bring Yin Xiaomei to the Xiao Mansion right now. At least not now, at least Xiao Fei went home to understand the situation, determine whether the danger was within his control, and then consider whether to let the little sister enter the house.

So, according to Xiao Fei's plan, Wumei and Yin Xiaomei hurried to Hangzhou City first. As for Xiao Fei himself, he was dressed in wide clothes, tied a square scarf, held a folding fan, dressed as a charming scholar, and walked slowly in the northern suburbs of Hangzhou.

It is the end of autumn, and the south of the Yangtze River is warm and humid, and autumn is a relatively dry season, so this is a good time for students and ladies to travel together...... Xiao Fei even met two or three old friends when he was in the literary world of Hangzhou, and he had a pleasantry and talked for a long time, Xiao Fei said that he was very quiet, and went to the Northwest and the Central Plains to study for a year, before he returned, and he had not yet entered the house, but when he saw that everyone was in high spirits, he couldn't help but want to join it.

One of the scholars has always been good friends with Xiao Fei, surnamed Song, with a straight name, and when he heard this, he advised Xiao Fei, "Virtuous brother, you have been traveling for many years before returning to your hometown." You should go back to your home to bow to your parents first, not to mention that Lingtang is still slightly ill in the summer, especially missing the virtuous brother. For the brothers to get together with you, I am not in a hurry, after all, the virtuous brother has returned to Hangzhou, and the future is long. ”

"Exactly!" several scholars around him also agreed.

"Brother Song's words woke up the person in the dream, this is the fault of the younger brother, and he is not a son of man!" Xiao Fei blamed himself, "Thank you for my brother's teachings, and the younger brother will go home to meet his parents." There will be a period in the future, and the younger brother will prepare a banquet in the cold house another day, and talk about wine and poetry with the sage brothers, and take a break when drunk!

Looking at Xiao Fei's free and easy back when he left, Song Zhi said to everyone with envy: "The virtuous brother of the Xiao family returned to the Western Regions and the Central Plains with a weak body, and enjoyed the beautiful rivers and mountains, which really made my generation envious." ”

"This kind of freedom and ease, we can envy it, but we can't learn it. A young student wearing a navy blue Confucian costume said on the side.

"That's not it, not to mention anything else, it's just this money, I believe that there are few people in the entire Hangzhou City who can travel like him for a year. Brothers, don't forget, this Xiao Gongzi is a fine person who can't get tired of eating, and he doesn't know how much money he has spent this year. It is estimated that Mrs. Xiao was in poor health a few days ago, and Xiao Fei returned only when she got a letter from home. Otherwise, I don't know where I can go on this study tour. The crowd began to speak.

"Well, don't mention that. Fellow seniors, look at the scenery ahead, let's go over there and chant poetry. The audience was discussing the private affairs of the Xiao family, and Song Zhi changed the subject.

"Okay, let's go! Let's go!" A group of more than a dozen people walked together in the direction that Song Zhi pointed out, leaving the topic of Xiao Fei just behind them.

However, it was said that after Xiao Fei said goodbye to everyone, he traveled all the way, reciting the poems of the sages softly, and playing with the folding fan in his hand, but he was also very comfortable. It's not that he didn't want to quietly enter the city and go straight to Xiao's house. But considering that if the mysterious man had a big plan, he would definitely keep a close eye on his whereabouts. Therefore, Xiao Fei appeared openly outside Hangzhou City, let the other party know about his arrival, and then slowly returned to the city by himself, leaving the other party a limited reaction time, in order to startle the snake and mess up their position. Before the other party reacted, Xiao Fei really had nothing to do, so it was better to open his heart and enjoy this great scenery!

"Brother!" Xiao Fei noticed a carriage at the Changting Pavilion outside the city, but before he thought about it, a familiar voice sounded in the carriage.

"Second brother?" Xiao Fei Yile, Xiao Teng shouldn't know the news of his return now, and he can actually meet him here.

Sure enough, the carriage lifted the curtain, Xiao Teng took a step out of it, happily ran towards Xiao Fei, and hugged his eldest brother, "Big brother, it's really you! Hehe, great, you're finally back!"

"Hey, hey, it's okay, let Brother Wei take a breath!" Xiao Fei struggled to break free of Xiao Teng's arms, and hammered him on the chest angrily, "It's okay, second brother, I haven't seen you for a year, but you're a lot stronger!"

"Hehe......" was praised by his brother, Xiao Teng scratched his hair embarrassedly, "My younger brother has been practicing very hard in the past few months. Oh, by the way, it's not just me here, my dad is too!"

Xiao Fei was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the carriage.

It just so happened that the door curtain of the carriage was lifted again, revealing the passengers inside, and indeed the two old men who were nearly fifty years old were Xiao Wanlin and his wife!

"Dad!Mother!Why are you here?" Xiao Fei's eyes were wet, he walked quickly to the carriage, lifted his robe, and knelt on the ground, "Unfilial Xiao Fei is back, kowtow to the two!"

Old Madam Xiao was being helped by Xiao Wanlin to stretch her legs to step on the wooden bench under the carriage, seeing Xiao Fei fall to the ground and kowtow, her expression was anxious, and she almost stepped on the air, thanks to Xiao Wanlin and Xiao Teng who rushed over in time to support her left and right, "Hurry up, Fei'er, get up quickly!"

Seeing that his mother almost had an accident just now, Xiao Fei quickly stood up, and didn't care about the dust on his robe, so he hurriedly stepped forward and walked to Mrs. Xiao's side to replace Xiao Teng, and gently held her arm, "Mother, my son is back!"

"It's good to come back!" Mrs. Xiao held Xiao Fei's arm tightly, "Let Weiniang take a good look at my Fei'er." Saying that, his eyes carefully looked up and down at the eldest son who he hadn't seen for nearly a year, "Although you have traveled a lot in the past few months, it seems that you have not suffered any crimes, so you can rest assured that you are a mother!"

"The son is not filial, so that the father and mother are heartfelt. Xiao Fei hurriedly confessed, no matter what the blood relationship was, the Xiao couple did treat him as their own, and even because of Xiao Fei's physical reasons, they cared for him more than Xiao Teng. This is one of the reasons why Xiao Fei insisted on taking a rest outside the city before returning home, he didn't want to expose his fatigue to his parents.

Without everyone noticing, Xiao Fei's hand was quietly held on Xiao's wrist, Xiao Teng was still grinning and smirking, but Xiao Wanlin saw it accurately, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Xiao Fei moved very quickly, and in less than half a cup of tea, he had already quietly known his mother's physical condition, and his health was very good, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he was a little weak, which was an old problem left over from previous years. But judging from the pulse, she was indeed seriously ill a few days ago, and her body should have just recovered.
