Who can tell the truth from the falsehood of these half-truths unless they have experienced it personally?

Han Tongshan pondered for a while and said: "I didn't expect this to be the case, this is very difficult, whether it is intentional or unintentional, Zen Master Huihai died at the hands of Hu Xiandi after all, but Hu Xiandi has already died, which can be regarded as a life for a life." After a pause, he asked again, "Virtuous nephew, how did your father die?"

Hu Yun told Han Tongshan how he met the thieves in the mountain temple, how his sister fell off the cliff when she fled, and how she heard the conversation between the two immortal cultivators.

Unexpectedly, after Han Tongshan heard this, his eyebrows tightened, and he asked, "In other words, you only heard about your father's death, and you didn't see it with your own eyes?"

"Not bad. Hu Yun replied.

"No wonder, nephew, what I heard was a little different from what you said. Han Tongshan said in a deep voice.

Hu Yun's eyes lit up and asked, "Uncle Han, what's the difference?"

Han Tongshan said: "About five or six days ago, two monks from Leiyin Temple came to my house and asked me about your father. Although my sect has always been friendly with the Leiyin Temple, I myself have no friendship with the monks of the Leiyin Temple. So, I flatly refused to answer and was about to send off the guests. One of the monks said, "Now that a net is laid outside, where can Hu Zhennan go? When I heard this, I was angry, but I knew that there must be something hidden in it, so I suppressed my anger and asked in detail. ”

"It turned out that half a month ago, Zen Master Huihai, the abbot of Zhenhai Temple, disappeared for no reason. He is one of the protectors of Leiyin Temple, his skills are profound, and his status is respected, which is not a trivial matter, so Leiyin Temple sent people to inspect it. Finally, I found the Hopeless Peak near Zhenhai Temple, found traces of fighting, and found the breath of Huihai Zen Master's exercises. However, the clue was also broken from here. Just when the inspecting monks were worried, a fire suddenly broke out in the Hu family manor. Taiqingmen and Leiyin Temple are in the same breath, those monks naturally can't sit idly by, so they go to fight the fire together, the fire is too big, in just one hour, the Hu family has been burned to the ground, leaving dozens of charred corpses. But what I never expected was that the body of Zen Master Huihai was found among these charred corpses. ”

When Hu Yun heard this, he interjected and asked, "Uncle Han, since the corpse has been scorched, how can you identify it as Zen Master Huihai?"

Han Tongshan said: "Leiyin Temple has been inherited for thousands of years, and it has its own uniqueness. Through the secret technique, it was undoubtedly determined that the corpse was Zen Master Huihai. Hey, this was a shocking thunderbolt that caused an uproar. The senior monk of Leiyin Temple actually died in the home of the disciples of Taiqingmen, and Taiqingmen naturally couldn't get out of it. So Taiqingmen sent Qin Tianlie, the peak master of Chiyan Peak, to investigate the ruins of the Hu family together with Zen Master Huixiang of Leiyin Temple. After the two sides used secret techniques to probe, Hu Zhennan, Hu Yun and Hu Xue were not found in these corpses. ”

When Hu Yun heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Han, are you saying that Daddy didn't die and escaped?" His voice trembled slightly, and his emotions were extremely excited.

Han Tongshan nodded and said, "Yes, presumably your father is hiding." So Taiqingmen and Leiyin Temple joined forces to find out the whereabouts of the three of you, so as to find out the truth about the death of Zen Master Huihai. Those two monks don't know where they learned that I have a deep personal relationship with your father, so they want to get news from me. To be honest, everyone doesn't believe that your father can kill Zen Master Huihai, and they know that there must be something hidden inside. I thought the same thing, so I pretended to promise that they would cooperate with each other and secretly search for your whereabouts. Hey, I didn't expect that Huihai was really killed by your father. As he spoke, he sighed again and again.

Although Hu Yun was expressionless, he was extremely excited in his heart, at least he knew that his father was still alive in the world, and he was not alone.

Han Tongshan saw that Hu Yun was silent, thinking that he was worried about the future, so he comforted him: "Virtuous nephew, you don't have to worry too much, you first live with me for a while to avoid the limelight, after all, Lei Yin Temple is the main thing to find your father, and not too many people care about you." ”

Hu Yun shook his head and said: "The so-called repayment of the father's debt to the son, even if the person was not killed by me, I can't shirk the involvement." Besides, if I'm here, I'll also be involved with Uncle Han. ”

Han Tongshan's face sank, and he said: "Virtuous nephew, if you say this, do you not believe me Han Tongshan? I and your father are friends of life and death, and you are my child, so you can rest assured that you can live here." ”

Hu Yun said: "Uncle Han, you misunderstood. You can live here, but I can't shrink my head for the rest of my life. I understand your kindness, I only ask you for one thing. ”

Han Tongshan was slightly stunned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Hu Yun said: "The annual call for apprentices in Taiqing Gate is approaching, Uncle Han, please recommend me to participate in the introductory trial." ”

Han Tongshan thought about it for a while, and then understood what Hu Yun meant, there is no place safer than Taiqingmen, and sighed: "Okay, virtuous nephew, I understand your thoughts." ”

At this time, a miserable cry suddenly came from outside the house, and then a person shouted angrily: "Who is it, who actually broke into Han's house at night and hurt people?"

A clear voice said lightly: "Amitabha, if this benefactor doesn't sneak attack the little monk, how can he be cut off his hand? ”

Han Tongshan's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Virtuous nephew, there is a monk from Leiyin Temple outside, don't talk later, I'll do everything." Let's go, go out and have a look. ”

Hu Yun nodded and followed Han Tongshan outside the house.

The sky is bright and the moon is like a mirror, illuminating the ground white. In the moonlight, two gray-clothed monks stood with their hands folded. Opposite them stood two men in black with steel knives in their hands, and another man in black was lying on the ground, his hands were broken at the wrists, and the silver wire mesh was scattered aside.

After Han Tongshan saw this, he held back his anger and sneered: "The senior monk of Leiyin Temple is really thick and bodhisattva-hearted, and he can do such a poisonous hand to mortals who don't know magic, it's really good." Since Master Dingxian talked about cause and effect, then I have to ask for advice. ”

The gray-clothed monk on the right stepped forward, and Hu Yun saw by the moonlight that this person was seven feet tall, with a face like a crown of jade, and he was very handsome, but the gap between his eyebrows was too small, and his face looked a little gloomy.

I saw him smile slightly, his eyes turned on Hu Yun's face like electricity, and then said lightly: "I don't know what advice Master Han has?"

Han Tongshan said: "Okay, my three subordinates sneaked up on Master Dingxian and deserved to be cut off." Then what should I say that Master Dingxian broke into my Han's house at night?"

Ding Xian was slightly stunned, and another monk interjected: "Master Han, we are not here for no reason. My brother and I didn't want to sleep in the middle of the night, so we got up to discuss the Dharma together, and happened to see a little thief climbing over the wall into your courtyard. We have a good relationship with Han Shizhu, and we must not stand idly by, so we came to arrest the thief, but we didn't expect to cause a misunderstanding. Sin, sin. ”

Hu Yun couldn't help but look at this monk carefully, and saw that he was five short figures, his appearance was not good, and there was a black birthmark the size of a fist on his right cheek.

Han Tongshan snorted coldly and said, "That's really a coincidence, the two masters can see thieves when they discuss the Dharma in the middle of the night." I don't know which scripture the two masters have comprehended, so they attract thieves?" he said, waving his hand to the two men in black, who put away their knives and carried the man on the ground out to heal.

Han Tongshan said again: "However, to disappoint the two masters, there are no thieves in my family at all, Han Xing come here, I will introduce you to the senior monks of Leiyin Temple." As he spoke, he pulled Hu Yun over, pointed to the monk with a birthmark on his face, and said, "This is the master of Dingyi, and the other is the master of Dingxian." Don't hurry up and salute yet. ”

After Hu Yun saluted, he stood aside obediently.

Han Tongshan said: "This is my distant nephew, named Han Xing. This child has a hard life since he was a child, my eldest brother died early, and it was all up to my sister-in-law to bring him up, not a month ago, my sister-in-law also died of illness, so I asked for food all the way to Lin'an City, and came to me. ”

Dingyi and Dingxian glanced at each other, and Dingyi sneered: "Since they are relatives, why don't you go through the gate and come in over the wall?"

"Oh, that's right, it's late at night, and if my nephew knocks on the door and enters, it will be inconvenient for all parties to disturb, so he will come in over the wall to find me. Is there anything wrong with this?" Han Tongshan said lightly.
