Chapter 144: Go back to the old mansion to find the truth

Sadly suddenly remembered that she didn't know the girl's name, so she asked Xianjie, "Girl, what is your name?

Xianjie took a few steps forward and replied politely: "The little girl's surname is Situ, her name is Xianjie, and her father is Situ Bowen." ”

"What? But Situ Bowen of the Vientiane Sect?" exclaimed sorrowfully,

"Exactly!" Xianjie replied solemnly,

After hearing this, Sadness couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that Situ Bowen is not missing, but"

Xianjie was silent for a while, she was already sad, and the past was unbearable to look back on.

Sad and suddenly thought that he had been tracking down the truth behind the martial arts feud back then, he had found out a little eyebrows, according to the previous clues, he felt that the disappearance of the masters of the major factions must be related to the vendetta of the martial arts factions, and he was worried that he could not find the clues and traces of the disappearance of the masters of the martial arts factions, and now he heard that Zong Zheng wanted to take Xianjie to investigate, so he wanted to go together to find out, so he said to Zong Zheng,

"Lao Wei was secretly investigating the truth of the vendetta of the major factions before, and I feel that this matter has a great relationship with the disappearance of the masters of the various martial arts factions, I wonder if I can take Lao Wei to Situ's old mansion to investigate?"

Zong Zheng readily agreed, and Xian Jie had no opinion.

Seeing that the time had passed, Zong Zheng was worried that he would not be able to check the clues left behind in the old mansion after dark, so he said: "Then master, let's rush to Yin Cheng immediately! ”

Immediately, Zong Zheng untied the horse rope and brought two horses and a donkey.

Zong Zheng and Xian Jie subconsciously rode their horses, but they pointed to the donkey with a sad face and said: "Hey! I said, you two will let me ride this guy on the road, I see, don't say that you can't catch it before dark, whether you can get there tomorrow is a problem." ”

Before Zong Zheng could speak, the donkey was the first to be unhappy, and even pouted his legs and called out vigorously to Sorrow, as if he was scolding Sorrow for being suspected of unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

Xianjie looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing.

"Then what do you say, master? There are only two horses!" Zong Zheng said with his head drooping,

Sadly glanced at Zongzheng, approached Zongzheng, and whispered to Zongzheng: "Oh, who can you be with you! Don't say that the old man won't help you!"

When Zong Zheng heard the sad words, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, he couldn't imagine that the sad master was so improper, but he had no choice but to jump off the horse and come to the side of Xianjie's horse, and jumped behind Xianjie.

Zong Zheng hugged Xianjie from the back and grabbed the reins with both hands, Xianjie felt a warmth behind him, this feeling made him feel very safe, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a slightly happy smile.

Sadness patted the donkey, "Little donkey, get out of here! ”

As soon as Zong Zheng drove his horse, the horse galloped up on the grassy earth, rode away, and immediately called out sadly: "Hey, wait for me!" Then he hurriedly got on his horse, immediately chased after him, and scolded in his mouth: "It's wrong! Those two are things without conscience." ”

Hearing Sorrow calling 'Wait for me' in the back, Xianjie and Zongzheng couldn't help laughing.

The afterglow of the sunset is reflected, Xianjie came to a dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city according to the impression, the sound of horses kicking echoes, the willows are still the same, Xianjie looked at the willows under the bustle, and couldn't help but think of the scene of playing with her sister in the past.

The three of them came to the door of the broken house and stopped, after Zong Zheng fell off the horse, he gently helped Xianjie to slowly get off the horse, Xianjie stopped in front of the door, and looked at the plaque engraved with the words "Situ Fu" hanging crookedly on the gate, which was covered with cobwebs and dust.

At that time, Asutai was still young and impetuous, and then he shifted his energy to pursue Xianjie and the other three, so he did not order someone to burn down Situ's old mansion, which for Xianjie, although the old mansion was dilapidated, but it was lucky to be able to keep it and leave so many precious memories.

Zong Zheng stepped forward to push open the door, because the door has not been opened for many years, it is inevitably a little laborious to push, a squeak, the door slowly opened, and a little dust fell on the top of the door, Zong Zheng subconsciously raised his sleeves to cover the fairy, and the dust splashed on Zong Zheng.

Xian Jie couldn't help but be a little moved when she saw that Brother Zheng's first thought was herself, but she also blamed herself for it, but Zong Zheng just looked at Xian Jie and smiled, and then patted the dust on her body.

The cobwebs inside were knotted, and Zong Zheng pulled it open with his scabbard, leading Xianjie and Sorrow forward.

Xianjie followed closely behind Zongzheng, walked into the gate, and looked at the bleak scene in front of her, Xianjie couldn't help but feel a lot of flavors, and burst into tears.

Zong Zheng looked back and stroked Xianjie's arm to show comfort, and then walked forward again.

The three of them walked into the courtyard, the ground was covered with tall reeds, full of broken tiles and rubble, the big gray pillars were also covered with moss, and the courtyard walls were covered with fine vines.

Walking through the deserted courtyard, the three of them headed for the hall, the door of which was already tattered, and it seemed to be about to fall apart at the slightest touch.

Even so, Zong Zheng still didn't dare to touch anything here, he understood Xianjie's heart, and just walked into the hall cautiously, without knocking down the half-sloping door.

Xianjie looked at the dilapidated scene inside and said softly, "This is the last place I saw my father." ”

Zong Zheng looked at the dusty and cobweb-covered tattered furniture in front of him, picked up an ebony table leg that was broken into pieces, and said, "It can be seen that your father had a fierce fight with his opponent here, and the tables and chairs here were all shattered by internal forces. ”

Sadness echoed: "Yes, any fight will leave traces, even if years have passed, but some traces will always remain, you see here. Sadness pointed to a piece of the floor on the ground.

Zong Zheng and Xian Jie looked at the sorrow together, but seeing a neat knife mark on the floor, Zong Zheng explained: "This knife mark is deeply imprinted into the floor tiles, but the floor tiles are not broken, which shows that the internal strength of the person who uses the knife is strong and strong." ”

Sadness added: "That's right, but have you noticed this knife mark, have you noticed that this knife mark is wider than an ordinary knife mark, which means that this knife is thicker than an ordinary knife." ”

Zong Zheng took a closer look and found that this was indeed the case, and suddenly an impression flashed through his mind.

Xianjie continued to pace inside, and suddenly noticed the guqin that fell to the ground, which was the guqin that her sister often played, Xianjie happily stepped forward, bent down and picked up the guqin, gently wiped off the dust on it, and then couldn't help but sigh: "Strange, why all the strings have been broken." ”

Zong Zheng took the guqin from Xianjie's hand and looked at it carefully, Xianjie wondered: "Strange, why is this string actually broken?"

Zong Zheng speculated: "Your father must have used this piano when he was fighting, and the internal force can be used to form a lethal force through the notes, I think, your father must have used this piano to fight the enemy, if you don't guess wrong, it must be that there are people among the opponents who use musical instruments, and your father has to play with music." ”

Sadness felt that Zongzheng's analysis had three points of truth, so he wanted to go forward to see the broken string of the piano, just about to get up, suddenly felt that he touched something under his feet, was chrome, looked down, it turned out to be an arrow scattered on the ground, bent down to pick up, wanted to see what signs the arrow had, and was afraid that the arrow was poisonous, so he picked up something on the ground at random to wipe the arrow, and when the dust on the arrow was wiped off, the outline of the arrow was clearly revealed, and Sadness found that the arrow was very special, so he shouted to Zongzheng:" Look, this arrow seems to be very special, not like an ordinary cluster of arrows. ”

Zong Zheng and Xian Jie immediately put down the guqin and walked towards sorrow, Zong Zheng looked at the arrow carefully, and always felt as if he had seen it, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and only muttered, 'I seem to have seen this kind of arrow somewhere, and more than once.' ’

Xianjie saw that Brother Zheng seemed to have a clue, and couldn't help but encourage: "This arrow seems to be an important clue, Brother Zheng, think about it again." ”

Zong Zheng closed his eyes and thought for a while, but he couldn't remember, so he couldn't help but open his eyes and sigh: "I'm sorry, Xian'er, I really can't remember for a while." ”

Xianjie saw that Brother Zheng had done his best, so she comforted: "Brother Zheng, you have done your best, think about it slowly in the future, and let's see if there are any other important clues." ”

The three of them searched carefully again, and searched for a long time, but, except for some scattered porcelain pieces and wooden blocks, they didn't find any more important clues, seeing that it was about to get dark, Zong Zheng said: "Master, Xian'er, it's going to be dark soon, in my opinion, there are no useful clues here, let's leave as soon as possible!"

Seeing that the light in the room was getting darker and darker, the two nodded in response.

Immediately, the three of them carefully walked out of Situ's old house, looking at Situ's old house in the afterglow of the sunset, Xianjie rode away with sadness.

On the way, Zongzheng analyzed: "It seems that there is definitely more than one person who killed your father, it should be said that there are many masters! Your father was besieged, among these people, one of them used a knife, and his knife was more wide, and this person's internal strength was strong and strong; there was a person who used arrows, and the arrows were very special; maybe there were also people who used musical instruments, we can think about who we have come into contact with may be related to these clues, and maybe we can also pay attention to them in the future." ”

Sorrow seems to have made up his mind that his more than a year of travel has not been for nothing, but has collected some clues intermittently, but these clues are useless to say to Zongzheng, so he did not say it, but analyzed it in his heart, so he was silent.

Zong Zhengze seemed to have an impression of these clues, but he couldn't remember them for a while, he felt very close, but suddenly he became far away, so he was silent on the road, but Xianjie was the only one who had no clue, but he also accompanied Zong Zheng and Sorrow to be silent together.

"Boy, it's going to get dark soon, where are you going next?" Sadly seeing that the sky was about to darken, she thought about going back to Shaolin at night.

Zong Zheng always kept the scroll in mind, so he replied: "Master, aren't you going back to Shaolin Temple? I want to go to Shaolin with you to retrieve the scroll left by my father." ”

Sadness immediately wanted to slap his mouth, and secretly thought: "Why am I asking this! Hey! It's okay now, the stinky boy has been holding on to this matter!"

"Then, that feeling is good, then let's go together!" replied sadly.

The earth was gradually shrouded in black, and under the moonlight, two horses galloped on the ground, as well as a couple and an old monk

There is also a team of soldiers and horses led by Fa Siba and Zhang Hongyan not far away, behind the soldiers and horses
