Ji Jianyun and his entourage hurried up, and arrived at Songshan in the evening of the next day. The Songshan Mountain Range www.biquge.info is divided into two mountain ranges, Tailin River and Shaolin River, with the Tailin River as the boundary, the east is the Taimur Mountain, and the west is the Shaomur Mountain. The Shaolin Temple is on the Shaolin Mountain. Although the group was anxious, they were still attracted by the strange peaks and beautiful rivers of Songshan Mountain, and they unconsciously slowed down. A few of them asked while walking, only to know that this Jijiazhuang was still about five or six miles away from Shaolin Temple, and it would probably be possible to reach it when it was dark.

Jijiazhuang is not a big manor, and more than 30 families are scattered on a flat land in the mountain col. Most of the families are cultivated in the temple, the wind and rain are smooth, and there is no harsh exploitation, the days are still rich, the families are independent, although the pattern is a little cramped, but it is also square and decent. Because there are always some people who practice martial arts in the family, they are not afraid of people dressed in rivers and lakes.

But they asked more than a dozen families one after another, and they didn't know anything about Ji Jianyun's situation. A few people wondered, the suicide note clearly pointed here, why there were no clues and clues at all?

Zhang Tianlai patted his head: "Little brother, maybe you didn't call Ji Jianyun before! So, let's ask like this, of course there will be no results." ”

Ji Jianyun felt that it made sense, so he changed his way of thinking. You must find an elderly person to ask, such a person is particularly familiar with things in the village, and only then can there be new discoveries. Zhuang Li said: "Then ask Ji Ying." He has been in the village for the longest ten years, and he knows all aspects of the story best. A few people came to Ji Ying's courtyard.

Ji Ying's courtyard is no different from the others, but it is obviously a newly deceased person, and there is an elegiac couplet on the door. Several people's hearts tightened, and they had a bad premonition. He was greeted by a middle-aged man in his forties who asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Ji Jianyun asked: "Dare to ask, this is the home of the old man Ji Yingji, let's come to his old man's house to ask about something!"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was annoyed: "You people come every day to ask about messy things, which makes my father frightened. Even if you die, you don't want to let it go, what is your intention!" took a broom and drove them out.

And then a woman came out of the house, apparently the wife of a middle-aged man. She was obviously afraid that her husband would offend the Jianghu people, so she pulled him and said, "Dad, don't be angry." Don't be angry. While saying respectfully to Ji Jianyun, "What are the brothers doing?"

Ji Jianyun hurriedly gave a salute: "Big brother, sister-in-law, please mourn!" We heard that Old Man Ji knows the past of the village very well, and we have come to ask about some information. I don't want the old man to pass away and bother!"

Not far away, Zhang Tianlai suddenly smiled: "Little brother, then, you are going to give up?"

Ji Jianyun replied: "If something happens in someone's house, we won't bother." Let's go to another house and ask. ”

Zhang Tianlai smiled evilly: "No need to ask, this family will know your life experience." Moreover, let me tell you: Old Man Ji is not dead. ”

When the others heard this, they didn't understand the meaning, and they couldn't understand what kind of medicine Zhang Tianlai was selling in the gourd. Zhang Tianlai said proudly: "Then you are all too simple. I'm not foolish. The couplets on the door of the house were pasted early, but the mourning clothes of the two people were new, and the sister-in-law even had the kung fu to apply a little powder, so it was not the appearance of a dead person in the family. ”

At this time, Zheng Daren came to the heart: "Heh, this thief couple actually fooled us, hurry back to settle accounts with them." ”

Zhang Tianlai grabbed Zheng Daren: "Zheng Er, you are a fool." If you go back now, it won't help, but it will startle the snake. We'll go and fill our stomachs first, and we'll come back later, and we'll be rewarded with something unexpected. ”

Ji Jianyun felt that it made sense, so he decided to act according to Zhang Tianlai's ideas.

Several people had a meal and decided to let Zhang Tianlai and Zheng Daren stay and find an inn to rest. And only Zhang Tianlai and Yu Ethereal went to explore the truth together, firstly, there are fewer people to reduce the chance of being discovered, and secondly, in the event of an emergency, Zhang Tianlai and Zheng Daren can be used as helpers. The two changed into night clothes, flew off the wall, and came to Ji Ying's courtyard. Although it was dark outside, there was a ghostly light inside the room, and a few low voices were talking.

A voice said, "Dad, it's not a way for you to hide like this. I think you might as well keep telling them everything you know. ”

The other was a woman's voice: "Yes, hiding around like this, we live without people and ghosts, and we wear filial piety clothes every day, it's really boring." ”

Obviously, these two voices are the same couple during the day. And the words of the husband and wife angered Ji Ying. I heard a hoarse voice say, "How could I hope that for my father, but I promised others not to tell this secret, and to keep my promise." If you don't want to, I'll leave this Zhuangzi. ”

Dahan was anxious: "Dad, isn't your current body going out to send me to death? Let me be such an unfilial person, my son would rather die!"

The old voice said, "Ahem." The sea, Yingzi, don't worry, the matter will pass soon. Bear with me. ”

Ji Jianyun can't manage so much here, and he is anxious to know his background. One of them flew directly into his house: "Old man, please be merciful and tell me my life experience." You old man must know the secret. ”

Ji Ying was taken aback, he didn't expect that there would be someone on the roof. "Who are you?"

Ji Jianyun said with concern: "My name is Ji Jianyun, and I should have a lot to do with your village. After speaking, he took out the leaf-shaped jade pendant and handed it to Ji Ying, "Old man, do you recognize this?"

Ji Ying looked at the jade pendant, looked at the young man in front of him with fixed eyes, was a little surprised, a little abrupt, and muttered: "The one who should come is indeed here." ”

Ji Jianyun knelt on the ground, and his head slammed on the ground: "Please, old man, my master is slaughtered now, and I don't even know who I am, I hope you will be successful!"

Ji Ying's eyes softened because of his pleading, and he helped Ji Jianyun up: "Child, what about knowing your life experience? You don't have to worry about past grievances and hatreds, otherwise it will be another fight, killing and killing, and you will only fill up a lot of your time with the word hatred, why bother?"

Yu Miao couldn't listen anymore at this time: "Old man, do you know the pain of your own life? Others are loved by their parents and cared for by their brothers, but they can only watch others reunite and rejoice, how tormenting is that lonely feeling!"

Ji Ying's heart couldn't help but tremble, he didn't know how he felt, but he knew that the alienation and estrangement brought to his family by pretending to die in the past two years had made him worse than dead. But what about the promises he made to his old friend? He didn't want to be a man who broke his word, and he didn't want to be a hard-hearted man.
