Zhao Qiman breathed a sigh of relief, and when she saw the decorations in the mourning hall, Lin Yi was wearing linen and filial piety, she frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Jiaci funeral. As soon as Lin Yi's words came out, Zhao Qiman's face changed in shock. After explaining the reason, he blamed himself: "The boy is not filial, so he let his mother wait under the willow tree for a year." ”

Zhao Qiman comforted him with kind words, only then did he understand the meaning of the jade plate to him, his heart was full of sympathy, helped him walk back to the hall, and burned a few stacks of yellow paper.

Luo Shan beckoned Zhao Qiman to sit down, and Luo Caiwei poured a cup of tea and obediently handed it to her to moisten her throat. Zhao Qiman thanked him, took two sips, looked at the orange firelight, sorted out his thoughts, and slowly talked about the origin of the jade plate......

The next day, the disciples came to mourn, and Lin Yi returned the courtesy. The mourning hall was set up for seven days, and the coffin was carried to the back mountain for burial, and he packed his things and went out, accompanied by Zhang and Zhao.

The group trekked through mountains and rivers, turned around for half a moon, and arrived at the foot of Puguang Temple. The town is sparsely populated, with a few farmers walking barefoot on the ridges with hoes, and buffalo lying under the trees, munching on straw and raising their tails from time to time to drive away flies.

Next to the mountain road, there are several oil and rice grocery stores, and children push iron hoops and chase and play at the door.

"Wang Ji pawn shop?" Lin Yi turned over and dismounted, looked at the shop sign, and wondered: "Why did the jade card fall here?"

The three of them walked into the house, and a thin old man was napping on the counter. There are scattered utensils on the shelves on both sides, and there is a statue of the God of Wealth next to the incense burner, mottled with gold lacquer.

The shopkeeper Wang was woken up by the sound of footsteps, yawned, showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, rubbed his eyes and glanced: three men and women are young, wearing brocade Confucian shirts, and their instruments are extraordinary, and they must be fat sheep coming to the door.

"You're the shopkeeper?" Zhao Qiman said bluntly.

"It's Lao Er. The shopkeeper sat up straight, his lumbar spine gurgling, and he screamed in pain.

"The shopkeeper, bother. Lin Yi arched his hand.

"You're welcome, the door is open just to do business, so why bother. He rubbed his waist and squeezed out a smile to flatter: "A few young ladies and young ladies of the child, I don't know which gust of wind blows you here, making the small shop shine." ”

The three of them looked at the furnishings in the house curiously, and the shopkeeper Wang twisted his beard and said tentatively: "The three of them look a little raw, aren't they locals?"

"It's not. Zhang Yingzhuo sat down on the chair by himself, moved his shoulders, and complained: "I'm in a hurry every day, my butt is about to fall apart, how comfortable it is to sleep in the house this day, you have to toss me!"

Lin Yi apologized and said: "With Senior Brother Lao Zhang as his companion, the kid is grateful. ”

"Ouch, look at the memory of the little old man, I forgot to say hello, wait a minute. The shopkeeper Wang was about to read the tea, when the young man at the head waved his hand and interrupted, "Don't bother. ”

Lin Yi had a kind attitude, and gently put a jade plaque on the table, "Shopkeeper, do you remember this thing?"

The shopkeeper Wang lowered his head and looked at it, his heart chuckled, his face was cloudy, and he said secretly: "Bitter, the owner has found the door!"

When Lin Yi saw his expression, he knew him, and said politely: "Dare to ask the shopkeeper, who should give you this jade plate?"

The shopkeeper Wang's body trembled slightly, and he scolded the eighteenth generation of Wude Ancestor in his heart, and said: "There has been no jade sold in the store recently, and the little old man has no impression......

"Think about it. ”

Shopkeeper Wang looked embarrassed, and was hesitating, "Smack!" Zhao Qiman waved his hand and slapped it on the counter, startling him.

Zhao Qiman let go of his fingers, revealing one or two snow silver seeds, and sneered: "Do you have an impression now?"

"There is!" the king's shopkeeper was in high spirits, his eyes were greedy, and he reached out to take it. Zhao Qiman lifted her long skirt, pulled out a dagger from her leggings, and nailed it to the table with a "clatter".

The shopkeeper retracted his hand like an electric shock, shivered, his eyes were still firmly sucked by the silver ingot, and Lin Yi sneered: "If the eyeballs can eat, he can't chew the silver?"

"Old thing, tell me where did this jade card come from?" Zhao Qiman shouted coquettishly.

"Uh......" Shopkeeper Wang stared at the silver ingot, hesitated for a few breaths, and then swallowed: "I want to think about it...... Probably in the spring of last year, a group of northerners passed by this place, dropped this jade plaque, and coincidentally picked it up by Lao Er and sold it to passers-by from other provinces. ”

"That's it?"

"That's all!"

"You're old ...... You're not fooling me?" Lin Yi frowned when he heard this.

The shopkeeper Wang subconsciously nodded, then shook his head again, and promised: "Little Lao'er is true to everything, and he doesn't dare to hide it." As he spoke, his eyes stared at him for fear that he would not believe him.

"Huh. Lin Yi chuckled, pressed the handle of the knife with his right hand, and said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper, why are you lying?"

"Little boy, you have been wronged!" the shopkeeper shouted aggrievedly, his eyes dodging.

Zhao Qiman had already learned Lin Yi's lie detector skills, and he knew it in his heart, holding the dagger, approaching the shopkeeper, and said gloomily: "Old fellow, do you say that I will cut off your two fingers first, or will I pick off the nails one by one?"

The shopkeeper said in a trembling voice: "The heroine spares her life, I can't withstand the destruction of this old bone, if you let the government know, none of you can escape." ”

"That won't let you get out alive. Zhao Qiman said impatiently, raised his dagger, and was eager to try.

Zhang Yingzhuo accosted on the side: "Shopkeeper, I advise you to be honest, I really provoke Miss Mao, cut you into a stick, and we can't stop you~~" As he spoke, he closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to see a bloody scene.

"Alas-" Lin Yi sighed, "I have to do it, you are so considerate-Miss, pay attention to proportion, and stay alive." ”

"It's easy to say, it's practiced, and the technique is exquisite. Zhao Qiman leaned over and approached, and the shopkeeper Wang was so frightened that he knelt on the spot and screamed: "I move, I move, this jade plate is Wude of Puguang Temple, and the bald donkey sold it to me!"

"Truth. Lin Yi nodded in confirmation, pondering and recalling: That day, I was searched by the white-eyed wolf and taken to Puguang Temple, and then he was defeated by Master Luo, and lost the package during the escape, and then was picked up by the monks in the temple, and it was easy to give to the pawnshop......

The actual process has been speculated to be eight or nine and ten.

Zhao Qiman stopped his movements, glared at the shopkeeper Wang, and burst out viciously: "Count you as acquaintances!"

"It's expedient, the younger generation has a number of rudeness, and I ask the shopkeeper to forgive me. Lin Yi helped him up and asked a few more words, but he couldn't get anything anymore, so he had to give up.

Zhao Qiman took back the dagger, pointed to the silver on the table and said, "Well, the shopkeeper, I've rewarded you." ”

The three of them took their leave.

Finally sent away the plague god, the king shopkeeper was shocked, scolded two swear words, grabbed the silver two into his arms, closed the door.

Lin Yi invited them to dinner, rode up the mountain, and went around all the way to Puguang Temple. As far as the eye can see, the red walls and green tiles, the semi-hidden mountains and forests, are vaguely the original appearance.

The little novice who was sweeping the floor at the door, seeing that an outsider was visiting, bowed his waist and stopped, and said with his hands together: "Amitabha, the three donors have come from afar, if you want to burn incense and worship the Buddha, please unload your weapons." ”

"Hello little master. Lin Yiji saluted, "The kid carries a sword, just for self-defense, and there is no malice." In fact, I have been back to the treasure temple last time, can I be accommodating one or two more today?" The tone was sincere, and he thought: The Hanguang knife is a divine weapon, and it can't be handed over to others casually.

"Has the donor been here before?" Xiao Shami looked at it curiously, thinking that it was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and hesitated: "That...... The three donors waited outside the door first, and the little monk went to inform the host. ”

"Driver little master. ”

The little novice ran towards the temple, and not long after, a fat monk with a fat head and big ears, wiping the oil meat from the corner of his mouth, staggered over, "Three donors, have we seen them anywhere?"

"Zen Master Wude. Lin Yi saw that he looked funny, and couldn't help laughing: "You noble people forget things, didn't we have a relationship?"

"When?" said Wude, staring at him suspiciously.

"Last summer, there was the Beiyou Army as evidence. ”

Wude suddenly changed color, and shouted angrily: "Good boy, where did you hear this, dare to use it to entertain your Buddha?" clenched his fists, rushed to the door quickly, and was about to attack.

Lin Yi stepped forward and said loudly: "Offended!"

Wude punched, Lin Yi leaned over to dodge, went around behind him, backed his back, and pushed hard. Wude threw himself forward, fell into the mud, got up in embarrassment, and shouted with his bare neck: "Stinky boy, you cheat!"

Lin Yi pressed Hanguang with his hand, pulled out a blade, Wude's expression changed sharply, patted the soil, and said with a pleasant face: "Donor, please inside." ”

Zhao Qiman glanced at Zhang Yingzhuo and sneered: "This monk is even more shameless than you." ”

"Who are you talking about?" Zhang Yingzhuo pretended to be at a loss, and Zhao Qiman shrugged, "I said someone." ”

"Oh-" Zhang Yingzhuo suddenly realized, opened his throat and shouted: "Senior Brother Lin, Miss Zhao said that you are shameless~~"

"You!" Zhao Qiman was so angry that his chest tightened.

The three of them walked into the temple and put on a few sticks of incense. Lin Yi made his intentions clear, Wude hesitated, scratched his head, and only after some questioning did he tell the truth: "I left the bag in the meditation room, and a few days ago, a black-feathered eagle flew from the window, picked up the bag and escaped. The poor monk chased and chased after him, and after running for half a mile, the flat-haired beast flew into the sky and disappeared into the clouds, so how can I find it?"

Lin Yi frowned, seeing that Wude was not concealing, and said worriedly: "Why would the eagle take the bag?"

"It's a strange thing. Wude sat on the couch with a sad expression, "Not long ago, the Puguang Temple repeatedly lost objects, and the poor monks went down the mountain to ask, and several houses were also robbed, and all they lost were some ornaments. Everyone went to Lizheng Ya to report the case, and some people claimed to have been stolen by eagles, and the poor monk heard it and felt unbelievable. ”

After a pause, he said helplessly: "Until the last time I saw it with my own eyes, that flat-haired beast put a silver ticket and didn't care about money, and he liked to steal items with delicate patterns, which is rare." ”

"Lin Yi, what now?" Zhao Qiman looked worried.

Lin Yi shook his head, he had no idea, and after a while, he asked Wude: "Master, do you know that eagle...... Where did you fly away?"

Wude recalled for a while, pointed out the window, and said: "It seems to be the northeast, walking fifteen miles along the mountain road, there is a Banpo village in front, you donors may wish to go there to find it." ”

"Thank you, Master. Lin Yixi said, hurriedly got up, took his companions, and rushed to what Wude was pointing at.

The three of them worked non-stop, slowly, and on the mountainside in front of them, the shadow of a village appeared in the distance, with green pines and green water, and smoke rising from the cooking.
