Chapter 31: The Tragedy of Destroying the Door Begins Again (3)
The five of them came to the main house again, and sat down around the small square table, each with a bamboo tube full of wine.
"For the sake of the dead Dean Mu, I toast the three of you, and I wish you to find the real culprit as soon as possible and clear up the grievances of your friends!" The old man stood up first, then drank all the wine in the bamboo tube, and then slowly sat down.
"I'm afraid you three aren't really brothers and sisters, are you?" asked the old woman.
"Don't hide it from the two old men, we are not brothers and sisters, my name is Dou Jingpeng, this is Ruan Wenjun, she is my junior sister, and this is Situ Lanlan, we are very good friends. Dou Jingpeng said seriously.
After a while, several people were almost drunk, and then they walked into their respective rooms slightly drunk.
At this time, Li Shihe had not yet slept, he sat at a table, holding his forehead with his right hand, Chu Chu, who had already slept for a while, got up from the bed and walked in front of Li Shihe.
"Brother Shihe, you haven't slept yet, what are you thinking?"
"I know of a person who definitely knows the truth about the Wutai Mountain massacre. Li Shihe took a sip of tea, the tea was a little cold, but he didn't care, and poured another cup.
"Who is it?" Chu Chu also sat down, leaning close to Li Shihe.
"Nameless Mountain's late Taoist Li Zhong. Li Shihe drank another cup, "Tea is also a good thing, no matter how much you drink, you won't get drunk." ”
"A dead man, even if he knows the secret, can you let the dead man speak. Chu Chu said.
"Why don't we go to the Nameless Mountain tomorrow, 'dead horses as live horse doctors', maybe we will know some clues." Dou Jingpeng squeezed the cup in his hand, and then gently put it down.
"Knock—— knock!", "It's safe!"
"Brother Shihe, it's the third watch, you go to bed and sleep for a while, I'll sit here. Chu Chu said.
"I'm not tired, you go to sleep, have a good rest, in order to avoid people's eyes, tomorrow we will get up on the fifth watch and go to the nameless mountain. Li Shihe said.
"Brother Shihe, I like your courageous character, as if as long as you are there, there is nothing that cannot be solved. Chu Chu held Li Shihe's hand.
"Chu Chu, you are my 'courage', the source of my courage, whenever I think of you, I am full of strength, the last time you fell off the cliff, I mistakenly thought you were dead, I suddenly felt that my whole world collapsed, I had no master, and went to Dongying in a daze, that is, since then I have learned to drink. ”
"You went to Dongying, why didn't you tell me?" Chu Chu asked in surprise, and suddenly let go of his hand.
"You never asked me. Li Shihe said.
"What did you go through when you went to Fuso? Now that I ask you, you should have said it. ”
"I brought back the martial arts secret book of the Central Plains, "Yanghua Weightless Sword Spectrum", which is not a big deal. Li Shihe said.
You are really an amazing person, at a young age, you are alone in a foreign country, do you have nothing else to do except bring back the knife book?" Chu Chu continued to ask.
"I used the knife skills I learned to save a family. Li Shihe said.
"It is said that the women of Fusang are gentle, have you met some girls?"
"I think that's what you really care about, then I'll tell you frankly, Sister Chu Chu, I, Li Shihe, ...... to the sky" Before the word "sky" came out, Chu Chu covered Li Shihe's mouth, "I don't need you to swear, I just want you to live well." ”
"Okay, then I won't swear, I really didn't meet a girl I fell in love with in Fusang, I only have Chu Chu alone in my heart, Chu Chu occupies too much space in my heart, and I can't accommodate other girls. ”
"Flim Flam. Since you don't have anything to do with the girl in Fuso, how can you have a handkerchief in your package, and there are poems and paintings on the handkerchief, which is clearly a relationship. Chu Chu finally told the secret of what he had discovered.
"No, there is simplicity between us. ”
"'We', you actually use the word 'we'. "It's scary for women to be jealous, even the best girls, and Chu Chu is the best example of this, she can pick bones out of eggs.
"That's right, this girl's name is Naoko Hanakyoin, because I saved her family, he seems to have feelings for me, after all, I'm also a good man, but my feelings for her stop at friends. ”
"Since you don't mean anything to this girl, why do you keep her handkerchief? ”
"It's kind of a souvenir. Li Shihe raised his head and slowly poured the tea in the teapot into his mouth from above.
"Drink, put the teapot down, you take your story with her as a 'memorial', then how long do you have to remember. ”
"Forget today, okay?" Li Shihe said.
"That's pretty much it. Chu Chu said.
"Okay, Sister Chu, it's not too early, hurry up and rest, I'll sleep on the table for a while, don't fight with me, now the weather is getting colder and colder, you are thin and can't bear it." Li Shihe said.
Before dawn the next day, Li Shihe and Chu Chu got up, and they walked out of the hotel gently, everyone else was sleeping, and it was not a good thing to disturb others. When they got on their horses, they hurried to the nameless mountain.
At this time, Dou Jingpeng, Situ Lanlan and Ruan Wenjun also got up, and they were going to rush to the "Tang and Song Inn", of course, they had to dress up as ordinary people as before, so as not to alarm the two old foxes of Tang and Song.
Li Shihe's journey was much closer than Dou Jingpeng's, so he reached the Nameless Mountain first, and by this time the sun had already risen in a red-red arc, which was approximately tangent to the ground level. Nameless mountain is really worthy of the word "nameless", everywhere is full of the spirit of "rule by inaction" of Lao Zhuang, everyone, come and go, but let each other, there seems to be no competition here, there is just a quiet and peaceful place that is not for fame or profit, like a paradise. Li Shihe and Chu Chu dismounted, tied the horse to a thick tree, and came to a Taoist boy, "This little Taoist priest, may I ask where your abbot is?"
Dao Tong glanced at the two of them and didn't think they were bad people, so he pointed to the tallest tower in the distance, and then pointed to his mouth with his finger and shook his head. Li Shihe and Chu Chu both understood that this Dao Tong was a mute.
The two of them drove towards the highest tower, the road was quite tiring, and the ladder alone was nearly a hundred steps, and they came to the highest tower and found the old abbot.
Li Shihe first asked: "Abbot, I have come all the way to ask about something. ”
"What's the matter? The two young men sat down and said slowly, and the poor Dao must know everything, and say everything. The abbot said. The three of them sat down.
"Thank you Abbot in advance. Chu Chu hurriedly said.
"Don't rush to thank you yet, it's never too late to thank you after answering what you want to ask. The abbot said with a smile.
"Abbot, do you know the Taoist Li Zhong Li senior. Li Shihe said.
"You know, before he died, he was my best friend, and we often made tea, enjoyed flowers, and played chess together. His chess style is very tricky, and most people can't reach this level. The abbot said
"Dare to ask the abbot if he knows some of his old things?" said Li Shihe.
"I do know a lot, before Li Zhongdao came to Wutai Mountain, he was a member of the first rank of the dynasty, rich in learning, talented, and served as the chief examiner in almost every imperial examination. But one year, not long after the imperial examination, he resigned and came to Wutai Mountain to become a monk. ”
"What's the matter?" Chu Chu asked.
"I don't know about this, some people say that he leaked the question and angered the emperor, and some people say that he used his power for personal gain, but why, he never mentioned it to anyone, I only remember that a few days before he died, Dean Mu of the Mu family compound suddenly came to him several times. ”
"Who is Dean Mu?" Dou Jingpeng asked.
"Dean Mu is the biggest victim of the Wutai Mountain Destruction Case. The abbot said.
"It seems that Li Zhong Daochang really has something to do with the Wutai Mountain murder case. Chu Chu said.
"Could this case be committed by Daoist Li Zhong?" Dou Jingpeng said.
"This will definitely not, because on the same day that the Wutai Mountain Destruction Case occurred, Daoist Li Zhong died tragically under the clutches of the demon dragon of 'Guanjiang Dragon' Situ Heiyu. The abbot hurriedly explained, although the "Nameless Mountain" does not compete for fame and profit, but in the face of reputation, who can really let go, if it is really no longer driven by fame and fortune, then this person may not be able to live, because he has no value to use, and living is equivalent to waste.
"Abbot, we won't bother, let's go back first. Li Shihe said.
"The poor road is old, so I won't send it far. The abbot said.
The two hurriedly went down the tower, the downhill road was really easy, they soon came to the place where the horses were tied, they led the horses away from the nameless mountain, Li Shihe and Chu Chu did not get any clues, and they were annoyed in their hearts. They rode on horseback, wandering gracefully, not knowing where to go.
Suddenly, Li Shihe's eyes lit up, and he found a "Dapeng wings map", which was actually a stick figure Peng, which was engraved on the tree, and at this time Dou Jingpeng's mark was also a mark of the secret connection between them, in addition, the front of the picture was engraved with circles and circles, just like the target of archery. Li Shihe exclaimed: "If I didn't mean to be wrong about Jing Peng, then he must have found the real culprit." ”
"Brother Shihe, why do you say that?" Chu Chu asked.
These pictures are all left by Dou Jingpeng, this Peng bird represents Dou Jingpeng, and this circle like annual rings is actually the meaning of the target, indicating that he has found the target and found the target. Li Shihe explained, "Okay, let's move forward according to Dou Jingpeng's mark." ”
......
"Lan Lan, hurry up, we have to rush to Jinjia Town at the slowest before dark, if we are one day late, Shihe will be one more day dangerous. Dou Jingpeng said anxiously.
"I want to run fast, but I don't know what happened to the horse today. Situ Lanlan kept whipping the horse's buttocks, but the more he pumped, the more the horse tossed.
"Are you deliberately delaying time, you obviously don't want to be Li Shihe. Nguyen Van Jun said.
