Chapter 11 News and Plans
"What the hell is going on?" Yuan Fei looked at the mess in the courtyard, still unable to believe his eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly ran out of the Ji Mansion, and rushed into the small courtyard of the Fu family not far away without saying a word.
But the courtyard was empty, and there was no trace of Fu Tianlin's father and daughter in the three huts, so Yuan Fei was stunned for a moment.
"There are thousands of people in Fenglei Town, it is impossible for them to disappear out of thin air all at once, they must have encountered something important and were forced to relocate. And this kind of thing, the surrounding villages will never get a little bit of news. After a while, Yuan Fei sobered up a little, and muttered to himself with a twist of thought.
Thinking of this, he wanted to go to the nearby village to inquire immediately.
But at this time, he found out that he was still carrying Ji Peng's corpse.
Yuan Fei couldn't help but secretly scold himself for not thinking it through.
However, since Ji Peng is to be buried, he can't do it hastily, so why should he buy a coffin and bury it in the ancestral grave of the Ji family.
After Yuan Fei gently placed Ji Peng's body on his bed, he set off for a larger nearby village.
Zhuangzi is called 'Qinghe Village' because behind this Zhuangzi is a river, and most of the villagers make a living from fishing.
And Qinghezhuang is the closest to Fenglei Town, about more than 20 miles, with Yuan Fei's footsteps, it only took a quarter of an hour to appear in Zhuangzi.
As soon as Yuan Fei entered Zhuangzi, he attracted the attention of many people, and passers-by would glance at him intentionally or unintentionally.
He was also very puzzled in his heart, and when he glanced at his body, he understood.
It turned out that his clothes were in tatters, his hair was scattered, and his shoes were torn with a few holes, and he looked like a beggar, but he never noticed it.
Although Yuan Fei didn't care, if he had this respectful face, it would be difficult to find out any news.
There happened to be a silk shop not far in front, and Yuan Fei immediately stepped inside.
"Where are the beggars, get out of here for me, don't scare my guests away. As soon as Yuan Fei entered the store, a chubby middle-aged man stood in front of him, pinching his nose and waving his hand with a displeased face.
"Uncle, boy, I want to buy a few sets of clothes. Yuan Fei didn't want to explain, and hugged his fist towards the fat middle-aged man.
"The clothes in this store are very expensive, but you can't afford to be a beggar, get out. The fat middle-aged man yelled impatiently.
"These should be enough, right?" Yuan Fei frowned, and reached out and took out ten taels of silver from his arms.
"Ahem, enough, enough, as long as the guest officer can pick whatever he can see. As soon as the obese middle-aged man saw the white silver in Yuan Fei's hand, he immediately took it with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Yuan Fei couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
These silvers were still the entanglements that Ji Peng brought when he went to Xianmen, and because Ji Peng was idle, he kept them all the time.
Yuan Fei sighed, directly chose a few sets of black robes, and then entered the inner room.
The fat middle-aged man bit the silver, and sure enough, he couldn't help but show great joy.
"I didn't expect that I really looked away, and almost turned the God of Wealth away. ”
It didn't take much effort, Yuan Fei carried a burden on his back and walked out with a curtain. At this time, Yuan Fei's appearance has changed greatly, where is there still the dirty appearance before, he is obviously a handsome young man.
"Hey, I didn't expect this son to be so handsome, he really had no eyes just now. The fat middle-aged man was also stunned, but immediately nodded and complimented.
"Uncle doesn't have to be polite. In addition to coming to your store to buy a few clothes, the kid also wants to inquire about one more thing. If the boy is satisfied, there is no need to look for the extra silver. Yuan Fei asked lightly.
"Childe asked, there is nothing I don't know about the big and small things that happened in this hundred miles. The obese middle-aged man was overjoyed when he heard this, patting his chest and saying.
"I'm not going to hide it, boy, I went to Fenglei Town to join my family. But as soon as I arrived in the town, there was not even half a figure inside, and the big family in the town, the 'Ji family', was killed by someone, which was really strange. Yuan Fei's heart moved, and then asked.
When the fat middle-aged man heard Yuan Fei's words, he couldn't help but look out of the door in a panic, and after seeing that no one noticed the two, he hurriedly closed the door.
"What does this mean?" Yuan Fei asked with confusion in his heart when he saw this.
"Gongzi didn't know that this matter was a taboo, and the court ordered the villagers not to talk about it in the slightest, otherwise they would be arrested and put in prison. The obese middle-aged man said with a panicked face.
"Is there such a thing? But when such a thing happens, the imperial court should arrest the murderer, why should it threaten the people?" Yuan Fei couldn't help but wonder.
"Since Childe has to ask, then he will let it out. In fact, I didn't see the specific things with my own eyes, but only listened to the villagers who escaped from Fenglei Town.
It is said that a few nights ago, an old Taoist suddenly came to Fenglei Town, saying that he was asking for something from the discipline officer. I don't know if this thing is going to be done or not, and it didn't take long for Lao Dao to leave the town.
And that night, the Ji family suddenly burst into flames, and the neighbors went to fight the fire, but none of them came back alive. The fire burned for a day before it gradually went out, and when the villagers went in to take a look, dozens of people from the Ji family actually died, and even the villagers who helped put out the fire were inside.
But the discerning man could see that these people were not burned to death, but were killed and then thrown into the fire, and at the same time mentioned the old way of coming to the town during the day. As soon as an old man said such a thing, he was arrested by the officers and soldiers, saying that this person was involved in the murder. The villagers in Fenglei Town were afraid of setting themselves on fire, and they were afraid that the court would arrest people indiscriminately, so they had no choice but to leave their hometowns. Childe, you say, isn't this a frame-up, this old man's son died while fighting the fire, how could Lao Tzu intend to kill his son?"
"Hmph, this lord of the Yuanxia Kingdom is really mediocre. When Yuan Fei heard this, he couldn't help but be furious in his heart.
"You can be quiet, if outsiders listen to it, you and I will be guilty of death. The obese middle-aged man was frightened by Yuan Fei's words, and hurriedly reminded.
"The kid was negligent. By the way, does the uncle know the news of Fu Tianlin and his daughter Fu Lingshan?" Yuan Fei nodded, and suddenly asked.
"If Childe hadn't mentioned it, I'd almost forgotten about it. That Master Fu is a hero who fights violence and peace, but he has heard of it for a long time, but he didn't have the opportunity to meet. But unfortunately, it is said that Master Fu was also present on the day of the accident in Jifu, but his old man's body was not found afterwards. Hey, I'm afraid it'...... I'm afraid it's already burned to ashes.
As for his daughter Fu Lingshan, she was even more unlucky. After learning the bad news of Master Fu, he almost passed out because of excessive grief. But although her life was saved, the girl was also terminally ill and didn't have long to live.
However, Miss Fu is also fateful, and on the second day of this incident, a Dao aunt passed by, and I don't know what method was used to cure most of Miss Fu's illness. Then, Aunt Dao and Miss Fu disappeared out of thin air. The obese middle-aged man suddenly remembered something, said with a regretful face, and then looked even more surprised.
"What! What you said is true?" Yuan Fei heard this, and his face was immediately full of excitement.
"How do I know this, anyway, the villagers of Fenglei Town who escaped are all saying this, there should be no fake. However, according to the villagers, Miss Fu does not seem to be dead. Because someone once saw a big bird flying out of the courtyard of Fu's house, and there were two vague figures sitting on the back of the bird. Therefore, everyone said that Miss Fu was rescued by the fairy aunt and brought to the fairy mountain to practice. After the fat middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, he said.
"Immortal Gu?" Yuan Fei was stunned.
If it was before, Yuan Fei would never have believed it when he heard this kind of thing, but not long ago, he did see a few immortal cultivators, so he didn't doubt what the fat middle-aged man said.
"Thank you uncle for telling me and saying goodbye. After Yuan Fei had a thought in his heart, he hugged his fist at the fat middle-aged man, and opened the door and walked out of the store.
Seeing this, the fat middle-aged man touched the silver in his hand and put it away with a smile.
After leaving the shop, Yuan Fei went to the shroud shop again and bought two coffins, and some paper horses and other things.
The shopkeeper naturally greeted him with a smile, but when he heard that he was going to send the coffin to Wind and Thunder Town, his head shook like a rattle, and a hundred were unwilling.
Yuan Fei had no choice but to buy two more carriages and personally bring everything back to Fenglei Town.
Ji Peng's body, Yuan Fei was naturally buried in the ancestral grave of the Ji family. As for Fu Tianlin's corpse, there was no body, so he had to make a clothed mound.
And Fu Tianlin and Yuan Fei are called master and apprentice, in fact, there is not much difference between father and son, so Yuan Fei dressed the old man in linen and filial piety.
As soon as the old man's first seven days passed, Yuan Fei resolutely left Fenglei Town.
And the direction he went in was the Tianmu Mountain where the Nine Swords Sect was located.
After hearing that Fu Lingshan was rescued by the Immortal Gu, Yuan Fei's first thought was the Nine Swords Sect.
Because apart from the Nine Swords Sect, he didn't know any other immortal cultivation sects at all.
Yuan Fei had already planned it, since the Nine Swords Sect's Fairy Chen and Demon Boy both said that he had a spiritual root, it also meant that he could also cultivate immortal arts.
Although he did not have the qualifications to enter the mountain gate, he had Ji Peng's identity token in his hand.
He is only one or two years old from Ji Peng, and he also knows a lot about the Ji family's family background, so he won't show any horses.
If it really doesn't work, I will find that Fairy Chen, who has promised that he can introduce himself to the sect to cultivate.
How can he say that he once had a life-saving grace for this woman, the other party should not deceive him.
As long as you enter the Immortal Gate, it shouldn't be difficult to inquire about Fu Lingshan's whereabouts after that.
With this plan, Yuan Fei followed the original path and walked away non-stop.
More than half a month later, Yuan Fei appeared in front of his eyes in a misty mountain range.
If he remembered correctly, this should be the destination of this trip, 'Tianmu Mountain'.
Looking at the magnificent mountains in front of him, Yuan Fei couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
But then, Yuan Fei made a difficulty.
This mountain range seems to stretch for hundreds of miles, but on which peak was the Nine Swords Sect built on?
And the surroundings are cloudy and foggy, except for the faint sight of a dense grass in front of you, there is no road at all, and after entering, you will be dizzy and say that you are lost in it.
