The Heavens: Reborn Xu Zhu, Recognizing His Father at the Beginning

Chapter 37
As soon as the two entered the gate and saw that Zen Master Zhiguang was safe and sound, they took off the disguise on their faces.

Zen Master Zhiguang clasped his hands together and spoke slowly.

"Goodness, goodness, Qiao benefactor, your surname is Xiao, do you know?"

Qiao Feng trembled. Although he knew he was from Khitan, he still didn't know the names of his parents.

Hearing that Zen Master Zhiguang said his surname was 'Xiao', he realized that the mystery of his life experience was being revealed little by little.

Qiao Feng bowed and saluted.

"Xiao Ke is not filial, I just came to beg the master for guidance."

Zen Master Zhiguang nodded slightly, and led several people into the quiet room.

"You two, please sit down."

The three sat down on the chairs, and the monk who had just left offered tea to the three.Seeing that the appearance of the two of them changed drastically, one of them even became a woman.

Although the monk was amazed in his heart, he didn't dare to linger because of the presence of the master.

After a moment of silence, Zhiguang continued:

"My father left his handwriting on the stone wall outside Yanmen Pass, claiming that his surname is Xiao, and his name is Yuanshan. He called you Feng'er in the posthumous text."

"We kept your original name, just because you will be handed over to Qiao Sanhuai and his wife for upbringing, so you need to change his surname."

As soon as the words fell, Qiao Feng burst into tears, and immediately bowed to Zen Master Zhiguang.

"Until today, I have only known my father's name. I have done my best to show the kindness of the master. Please accept my next obeisance."

Qiao Feng kowtowed slowly, and Ah Zhu who was beside him also left his position and stood up.

"The word kindness is something that poor monks are ashamed of."

For a moment, Qiao Feng had mixed feelings.The surname of the Liao Kingdom is Yelu, and the empresses of all dynasties have the surname Xiao.

Sometimes the Lord of Liao was young and the Empress Dowager Xiao was in power, making the Xiao family even more powerful.

Suddenly knowing that he was a Khitan surname, Qiao Feng was in a daze, turned around and said to A'Zhu.

"From now on, I am Xiao Feng, not Qiao Feng."

A'Zhu nodded slowly.

"Yes, Uncle Xiao."

Seeing that Xiao Feng had accepted the fact, Zen Master Zhiguang spoke again.

"Hero Xiao, you must have seen the handwriting left on the stone wall outside the Yanmen Pass."

Qiao Feng shook his head.

"No, when I searched outside Yanmen Pass, the handwriting on the stone wall had already been shoveled clean, leaving no trace."

Zhiguang sighed slightly.

"Since the matter has been done, and the handwriting on the stone wall has been eradicated, how can these dozens of lives survive?"

Slowly taking out a huge piece of old cloth from his sleeve, Zhiguang looked at Xiao Feng with a calm tone.

"Benefactor Xiao, this is the extension on the top of the stone wall."

Xiao Feng's heart trembled, he took the old cloth and unfolded it slowly.

I saw that piece of old cloth was sewn together by many pieces of rags, the characters on the cloth were all hollow white characters with strange gestures, similar in appearance to Chinese characters, but Xiao Feng could not read a single word.

Knowing that it is Khitan script, the handwriting and strokes are vigorous, like a knife chopping an axe.

Hearing what Zhiguang said, this was inscribed by his biological father with a short knife in the past, Xiao Feng only felt his eyes blurred, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"I also ask the master to interpret."

"Back then we explored it and asked someone in Yanmen Pass who knew the Khitan characters to explain it. We asked several people in a row, but they all meant the same thing. I guess we can't be wrong."

Pausing for a moment, Zhiguang continued.

"Benefactor Xiao, the meaning of this line of text is 'Feng'er is one year old, and he took his wife to grandma's house for a banquet. On the way, he ran into a robber from the Southern Dynasty. The incident happened in a hurry, his wife and children were harmed by Taoism, and Zuo didn't want to live again.'"

"'The mentor who taught you was a Han from the Southern Dynasty. Yu made an oath not to kill Han people in front of his teacher. How could he know that he killed more than ten people in a row today? He is ashamed and painful. After death, he will have no face to see his mentor. This is Xiao Yuanshan's last pen.'"

After hearing Zhiguang's words, Xiao Feng put away the big piece of cloth respectfully.

"This is Xiao's ancestor's legacy, I ask the master to see it."

Zhiguang clasped his hands together.

"It should have been returned."

Xiao Feng's mind was in turmoil, feeling the sadness of his biological father when he wrote the last pen, he fell into grief and couldn't extricate himself.

Seeing this, Zen Master Zhiguang said slowly, with a very complicated tone.

"In the beginning, I only waited for Daoist Father to lead the Khitan warriors to the Shaolin Temple to seize the scriptures. After reading this stone wall translation, I realized that there was a misunderstanding and a big mistake."

"My father has decided to commit suicide, there is absolutely no reason to write lies to deceive people before he dies."

"Besides, if he went to the Shaolin Temple to grab scriptures, how could he bring a wife who doesn't understand martial arts at all, and a baby under the age of one?"

"Afterwards, we searched the source of the news and found that it came from a deceitful person. This person deliberately wanted to play tricks on the leading brother, let him travel thousands of miles, and make fun of him."

Xiao Feng nodded slowly.

"Well, I was trying to make a joke?! What happened to this delusional man?"

"The elder brother who took the lead found out the truth, he was extremely annoyed, but the man escaped without a trace, and has since disappeared in the martial arts world. Thirty years have passed, and he must not be alive if he thinks about it."

Zen Master Zhiguang was silent for a long time, giving Xiao Feng time to sort out his thoughts.

"Thank you Master for informing me of the ins and outs of this matter, so that Xiao Feng can start a new life. Xiao just wants to ask one more thing."

"What else is there for Benefactor Xiao?"

"Who is that leading brother?"

As soon as this remark came out, Zen Master Zhiguang was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked back.

"My old man heard that in order to investigate this matter, benefactor Xiao had beaten to death Elder Xu, Gong Tan, Po Tan, and Zhao Qiansun of the Beggar Gang, and also killed the iron-faced judge Shan Zhengmanmen."

"I also burned Shanjiazhuang to a white ground. It is expected that the benefactor will come here sooner or later. Please wait a moment. The old monk asked the benefactor to look at something."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xiao Feng to explain, Zhiguang got up and walked towards the back hall of the quiet room without looking back.

After a while, the novice who led the way before walked into the quiet room and said to Xiao Feng and A'Zhu.

"Master invites the two of you to the meditation room to talk."

Xiao Feng and A'Zhu walked through a bamboo-shaded path and came to a hut.

The monk pushed open the door and said in a low voice.

"Please."

The two went in, and saw Zhiguang sitting on a futon, smiling at Xiao Feng.

Slowly stretch out your fingers and start writing on the ground.

The basement of the hut has not been cleaned for a long time, and the dust is very thick, and each handwriting clearly appeared in front of the two of them.

'All things are equal, all beings are equal.Sages and beasts are treated equally.The Khitan of the Han people is both real and illusory.Gratitude, resentment, honor and disgrace are all in the dust. '

After finishing writing, Zen Master Zhiguang smiled slightly and slowly closed his eyes.

Xiao Feng stared at the handwriting below, dazed.

After a while, he asked puzzledly.

"Master, who is that leading brother? Please tell me clearly."

After asking several questions in succession, Zhiguang smiled but did not answer.

Xiao Feng took a closer look and couldn't help being shocked, although Zen Master Zhiguang had a smile on his face, he seemed to be stiff and motionless.

Zen Master Zhiguang committed suicide by taking poison and passed away.
