The old man surnamed Feng darkened his eyes, squeezed out a few muddy tears in his dim eyes, wiped them with his cuffs, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm not afraid of the jokes of the two guest officials, the old man's real surname is Qin, because of his poor family when he was a child, he was adopted by his parents when he was less than three years old because of his family's poverty, so outsiders only know the old man's surname Feng, and they don't know the old man's real surname."

Bai Cheng and Lin Su still glanced at each other, not knowing why the old man didn't answer the question, and suddenly talked about old things. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The old man surnamed Feng continued: "According to the rules of the time, after my parents gave me away, they would cut off contact with me and swear never to see each other again. I was still young at the time, so naturally I would not have the memory of my parents, so that the Feng family could rest assured that they would raise me. But they didn't know that I had an eldest brother, seven or eight years older than me, who was very concerned about me and often came to see me secretly. When I grew up, I told me about my two families, and I learned about my background. ”

When the old man surnamed Feng said this, his eyes were full of tears, and he seemed to be stuck in the memories of the year again.

Bai Cheng wondered in his heart, he didn't know where the old man was going to start, but he had always been patient, and he was not in a hurry to urge.

The old man surnamed Feng was stunned for a long time, and continued: "My elder brother has been smart and clever since he was a child, and later he was accidentally valued by a Taoist master, and he was accepted as an apprentice, and then he became a monk in Bitian Courtyard. ”

Lin Su also lost his voice and shouted, "Ah!"

Bai Cheng already understood, but he was afraid that what he said was only related to his eldest brother.

The old man surnamed Feng paused and said, "Bitian Courtyard was still a royal Taoist temple at that time, and everyone in Jianye City knew about it. My eldest brother, as one of the registered Taoist priests, also shares a lot of incense money every month. Since he became a monk, not only have my parents' family gradually improved, but I have also gained a lot of benefits. ”

Speaking of this, the old man surnamed Feng burst into tears, his voice was sad, and he gasped and said: "I thought that life would be better day by day, but who would have thought that this incident would happen later!"

Lin Su was still anxious, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

The old man surnamed Feng lost his eyes and muttered: "It was a night on August 15 more than fifty years ago, and I took the mooncakes freshly made by the old shop of the Zhang family and prepared to go to Bitianyuan to give them to my eldest brother. When I walked three or four miles away from the Taoist temple, I suddenly saw a burst of fire rising into the sky. At the time, I thought it was Bitianyuan on fire, and I was worried that something would happen to my eldest brother, so I ran to Bitianyuan like crazy. Unexpectedly, when I was still more than a mile away from the Bitian Courtyard, I suddenly sprained my foot, so I had no choice but to find a big stone by the side of the road and lean on the big stone to connect with the bones. ”

When he said this, a terrifying expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "As soon as I left the avenue, I heard the sound of horses' hooves, and then I saw a large group of cavalry coming from the direction of Bitian Courtyard. I was terrified, fearing that they would kill me, so I tried to hide behind the boulder, but they didn't seem to have an urgent business to do, and they didn't notice me hiding. ”

The old man surnamed Feng suddenly raised his head and asked, "You say, am I very timid?"

Bai Cheng shook his head and said, "At that time, the situation was critical, if the old gentleman rushed out, it would just be one more unjust soul." ”

The old man surnamed Feng let out a sigh of relief and continued: "It was only after dawn that I came back to my senses and sneaked from the path to the gate of Bitian Courtyard. I didn't dare to go in, but I was really worried about my eldest brother's safety, so I finally got so bad that I ran in. At that time, the Bitian Courtyard was already a mess, with traces of blood everywhere and burned houses, but there was not even a single corpse in the courtyard. I was wondering, is my big brother still alive? So I ran to my big brother's room like crazy, and it wasn't until I opened the door that I realized my big brother was really dead. ”

Lin Su also gasped and said, "Feng always sees..."

The old man surnamed Feng shook his head and said, "My eldest brother's room is empty, and no one has touched the furnishings in the room, but there is a string of bracelets thrown in front of the bed. ”

Lin Su also said curiously: "Then how does Elder Feng judge..."

The old man surnamed Feng closed his eyes and said, "That bracelet was given to him by a young lady next door before my eldest brother left home. ”

Lin Su was still stunned, and then sighed.

The old man surnamed Feng couldn't cry anymore when he said this, his voice was miserable, and Bai Cheng was also very uncomfortable in his heart.

The old man surnamed Feng continued: "I didn't dare to stay there for long, for fear that those people would come back again, so after taking the bracelet, I quickly ran out." After leaving Bitenwon, I ran down the trail to my parents' house, trying to tell them the news. Unexpectedly, when I came to my parents' house, I saw two corpses, and according to the neighbors, a burglar had broken into the house last night and killed them. ”

Bai Cheng's face changed suddenly, the rivers and lakes pay attention to killing people too much, and they have never harmed their wives and children, and those who can use this method are either because of extremely confidential things, or because they have a great deal to do with it.

The old man surnamed Feng gritted his teeth and said: "None of the people in the neighborhood know me, and I don't dare to identify them, so I secretly leave somewhere." Later, I went to the homes of several Taoist elders who were good friends with my eldest brother, and the result was the same, all the doors were wiped out. Later, the government posted a notice saying that Bitianyuan had been robbed, and the whole courtyard had died cleanly, and now the deceased in the courtyard were too angry, so they sealed Bitianyuan. ”

Bai Cheng pondered for a moment and asked, "No one has ever looked for Elder Feng since then?"

The old man surnamed Feng shook his head and said, "My eldest brother and I have always only known each other behind our backs, and we usually only meet as friends, and no one knows my identity. ”

Lin Su couldn't help but ask, "Old Feng, have you checked this matter?"

The old man surnamed Feng shook his head and said, "How dare I, since then I have kept silent about this matter, and I will not mention half a word." ”

Lin Su also asked, "Then why do you dare to say it today?"

The old man surnamed Feng had a hoarse voice and red eyes, and said: "A few days ago, I dreamed of my eldest brother again, and he said that he died unjustly, and let me avenge him. I'm now a handful of old people, half-cut into the ground, what are I worried about? Since you two ask about the Blue Heaven Courtyard, I naturally have something to say!"

Lin Su was still silent.

Bai Cheng nodded and said, "What Elder Feng said, the two of us already know everything, but I don't know where Bitian Courtyard is?"

The old man surnamed Feng said: "The two of them went out of Qingliangmen, and there was a pine forest twenty miles to the west, and Bitianyuan was in this pine forest, where the trees were dense now, and there was no road, so it was extremely difficult to find. When you two get there, you can go to the highest pine tree and you will find Bitenyuan. ”

Bai Cheng said: "I understand, thank you Elder Feng." ”

The old man surnamed Feng coughed heavily a few times and said, "You don't have to thank me, if you can find out what happened back then, you can tell me." ”

After saying that, he slowly stood up and walked downstairs tremblingly.

It wasn't until the old man surnamed Feng went downstairs that Liu Er came up with the wine jar, he had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and after going downstairs just now, he hid aside, and only then did he come out until the old man surnamed Feng left.

Bai Cheng casually threw out a piece of silver and said, "This is the money for the meal, and the more will be rewarded to you, and you can keep the two jars of wine for yourself." ”

Liu Er was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.

Lin and Bai got up and went downstairs and walked away. (To be continued.) )
