Immortal Aoki

【Chapter 10】

Yunliu came to the door, wanting Zhong Fei to point out his outside game.According to the regulations of Lichunyuan, the husband can only go out if there is an outside situation.Today is the anniversary of his father's death, and he wants to go to the only temple in Weiai Town—Siming Temple to offer incense.

Zhong Fei happily went.

Siming Temple is a small temple dedicated to the god Siming.In the eyes of the people of Weiai Town, what Siming is in charge of is not life, but the wind and rain at sea.Therefore, those who guard the shrine do not need to believe in Buddhism or Taoism, but they must be able to observe astrology and deduce the best time to go to sea—probably the weather forecast, Zhong Fei thought.

On the stone wall of the Siming Temple, there are words pasted, which used to be fierce, but tomorrow, the long-lost good luck.

The guardian of the shrine is also known as the commanding officer.

Si Ming is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a beard and eyes gliding around like mice.He is very gossipy, and he cannot do without Liu Yunliu drinking tea and asking about Hibiscus, which is known to all.Yunliu added oil and vinegar to describe it, and Zhong Fei took advantage of the gap between gossip and asked if the "Guardian" was Yuan Tong's lover, or if he lived in Yuan Tong's other courtyard.

Yunliu hesitated to speak: "They have been friends for many years, and the shopkeeper likes the Dharma protector very much."

Si Ming laughed, "There's someone else the guardian likes, right?"

Zhong Fei thought, does everyone know about the "adultery" between the guardian and Zhu Jin?

Yunliu smiled knowingly: "Si Ming also knows?"

Si Ming said proudly: "As for the old man's small eyes, who can escape? The old man saw it by accident. It's not surprising. Although that man is not stunning, he has a free and easy nature, naturally he doesn't pretend, and everyone likes it."

Who is that person referring to?

"Mu Zhu, a husband who has already redeemed himself." Yun Liu answered the doubts enthusiastically.

In an instant, the topic turned to Mu Zhu.

Mu Zhu is also a man of Fengyun, and he is the oiran together with Yuan Tong. People who want to redeem him are lined up at the other end of the sea, but he is unmoved.This person "wears only blue clothes", "has a lot of courage", "gambling skills are unmatched", "sword dance is good", and "personality is free and easy" are all good words, and they seem to be very popular.

The gossip between the two was very lively, and Zhong Fei grasped the key point amidst a bunch of lace gossip: "Does Mu Zhu have real martial arts?"

Yunliu nodded: "Several times Daoist Cultivator got drunk and made trouble, and he beat him down."

Why would such a strong person be fair?It can only be said to be voluntary.After staying in Lichunyuan for more than ten years, two years ago, Mu Zhu suddenly said that he was tired of it, so he redeemed himself and traveled around the world.The time was right, not long after Hibiscus came.

Zhong Fei suddenly realized, and when he said goodbye, he asked, "Si Ming, are you familiar with Mu Jin?"

Si Ming did not shy away from it: "Hijin fears the gods and often comes to worship the gods."

The next day, the weather was really good, the red sun hung high, the sea was blue, and there were no waves.There are many large and small boats on the seashore, and people can't wait to bid farewell and sail to the legendary Floating Island.

Yuan Tong and the protector were also among the farewell crowd.

Yuan Tong handed over a bamboo food box: "I bought some snacks, you can eat them on the way."

The protector said politely, "I've troubled you."

Yuan Tong smiled bitterly: "You won't come again in the future, will you?"

Guardian: "Probably not,"

The guardian was about to board the boat with the food box, and Zhong Fei quickly followed: "Guarantor, please stop, I have something to say to you. It won't take much time, Guardian, did you find what you wanted in the woods? , maybe I saw it!"

The guardian questioned: "Oh, what did you see?"

Zhong Fei: "An old corpse, dressed in a gorgeous blue dress, I'll take you to see it."

The faces of the protector and Yuan Tong changed at the same time.

By now, Zhong Fei knew.That day, the two had a quarrel in front of the forest, and the protector was not looking for Mu Jin, but another person.Sure enough, the guardian only said that you lead the way, Yu Qi dragged Yuan Tong, and flew to the forest with Zhong Fei.

Zhong Fei breathed a sigh of relief: "The old man is gone, even if he finds him, he won't be able to survive. Why don't we talk about Zhu Jin first."

The guardian was indifferent: "What does Zhu Jin have to do with me, I just want to find him."

Yuan Tong was on the side, her delicate eyebrows frowned slightly: "Young Master Zhong, Zhu Jin was killed by Xingyin's tyranny. This point has been confirmed by Wu Zuo. What else do you want to say? If you really don't have any money, you can discuss it later. Don't delay the guardian to get on the boat." , this is the only good time in a month."

Zhong Fei shook his head: "Xingyin doesn't want to be blamed for this."

Yuan Tong: "In this case, let the government come, Dharma protector, you hurry up and get on the boat, you won't be able to leave if you want to leave after a long time."

Xingyin, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't hold back his anger. In the past few days, he blamed himself and felt ashamed, especially when he was pointed out, he wished he could smash Lichunyuan, and beat himself that night.However, all this is just a scapegoat for him.

"Yuantong, it's obvious that you are in love with Dharma protectors. You killed Mu Zhu first and then Zhu Jin. Why did you put the blame on me!" Xing Yin blurted out.

Yuan Tong was stunned for a moment, then smiled suddenly, his thin lips curved into an arc, his smile was beautiful, ten thousand times more beautiful than a sad face, but unfortunately, he returned to indifference in an instant.The guardian only glanced at Yuan Tong, but he was surprisingly not angry, and even expressionless.

"Mu Zhu is not dead, he is just traveling around the world, what does it have to do with me." Yuan Tong said indifferently.

"Who can you fool!" Xing Yin said angrily.

"Where's the evidence?"

"Isn't it right there?"

Xingyin opened the food box directly, and found that it was really just Qingtuan cakes, and there was nothing else in it, so she was embarrassed and speechless for a while.Zhong Fei was amused by Xingyin's association, dragged him behind him, and looked at the silent guardian.

"I think you know the truth better, right, Protector Liu Junwu?" Zhong Fei smiled.

The guardian's black eyes were like ink, like the darkness before dawn, and even more like the depression of accumulated anger that was about to explode. He said coldly, "Yes, I was found."

The protector is Liu Junwu; then Mu Zhu is naturally his lover.

Everything unraveled like a chain in an instant.

Mu Zhu, who refused to forgive Liu Junwu's mistakes, perhaps out of the revenge of "you are flirtatious all night, I am flirtatious every night", went to Lichunyuan and became a gentleman, under the pseudonym Muzhu.Even if Liu Junwu found him, he would not restore that relationship.So Liu Junwu would come here every year, just like atonement.

"There's nothing to mention about the past. Mu Zhu got bored and left naturally, that's all." Yuan Tong said expressionlessly.

"Why hide it, everyone knows that Mu Zhu died instead of leaving." Zhong Fei said.

"So I killed him?"

"No, Hibiscus killed him."

Mu Jin killed Mu Zhu.

Mu Jin looked at Lin Zi, and what she saw was the sins he had committed; when she threw a knife and scratched the wood, what she saw was a tangled heart; when she went to worship the gods, she couldn't let go of it even thinking about it.

For a moment, everyone was silent.The protector looked towards the sky, his frost hair was stained blood by the red sun.You can't get what you want, and you look for it every year. You don't want to get anything, just looking at it is enough.However, that person never saw the red sun again.

"The protector didn't come last year for some reason, and we haven't seen each other for two years. Why did you immediately conclude that Mu Zhu was killed?" Zhong Fei asked.

"This is a tacit understanding between me and him, there is no need to tell others."

Liu Junwu's tone was stiff.

"Well, in short, you go to investigate, and it turns out that he was killed by Mujin. You must be very angry, right?"

"Do you think I'll be happy?"

"So you killed Hibiscus."

"Ah."

There is no trace of pity, guilt or sympathy on Liu Junwu's cold face, and he has no emotion when talking about others, and only when he looks at Lin Zi, he reveals the sadness hidden in his heart.

"What evidence do you have?" Yuan Tong stopped between the two.

"The evidence, of course, is that the flying knife with true energy is on the body of the guardian."

Xingyin pointed his finger at the guard's waist, pointing directly at the waist of the guardian, saying, "The true energy of the flying knife cannot be hidden." At the same time, he took out the magic mirror.Liu Junwu pressed the belt with his backhand, and with a flick of his sleeve, the leaves flew and the dead branches rolled around, startling a nest of crows and birds.The two clashed a dozen times, Xingyin suddenly let out a long cry, the magic sealing mirror burst into light from Ibaraki, and Liu Junwu was knocked down to the ground.

"You are..." Liu Junwu held his chest.

"It's a power you can't win!" Xing secluded and condescending, with a proud expression on his face.

Liu Junwu straightened up, and suddenly pulled out a throwing knife: "You guessed it right, I did it all, the flying knife was covered with his blood, I took it away."

Zhong Fei looked at Shuangfa: "You not only killed him, but also abused him before you died, right?"

Liu Junwu said: "So what? My beloved died because of him."

"Do you know who Mu Jin is?" Zhong Fei was angry.

"Why should I know!" Liu Junwu sneered.

By the way, Liu Junwu didn't know, he had never seen his son, so how could he know who Mu Jin was.Angry and frenzied, he certainly would not want to find out about Mu Jin's life experience.The role he played in his life was an infatuated lover who refused to be someone else's husband and father, ignoring the world and morality.

"Then you can think about it, why Mu Jin wanted to kill Mu Zhu."

Zhong Fei didn't want to tell the truth, he didn't want to do such a cruel thing.He silently led Liu Junwu to the grave, saying "Mu Zhu is inside", leaving him there alone, digging the grave sadly.

Zhong Fei, Xing Yin, and Yuan Tong went down to the forest.

Yuan Tong suddenly asked: "Have you dug it up and looked at it?"

Zhong Fei: "No."

Yuan Tong: "Then how do you know?"

The wooden sign is a bit rotten, but not rotten enough, it doesn't look like it has been 27 years.So Zhong Fei opened it and saw a small wooden sign embedded in it, which said "Mu Zhu's Tomb".

Everything is easy to imagine.Qi Jin followed her father secretly and came to Lichunyuan. When he saw Mu Zhu, he should have been both shocked and angry.

Because of Mu Zhu, Liu Junwu refused to accept his mother; while Mu Zhu lived a comfortable life.

In Qi Jin's view, this is unforgivable!

The clever and extreme boy has ten thousand ways to get revenge.Therefore, he killed Mu Zhu and buried his body in this small grave. This forest is haunted by ghosts, few people come in, and no one pays homage to the old tomb owner who has been dead for 27 years.After the hand was cut, Qi Jin felt guilty again, so he set up a small wooden sign and looked at it day by day, but he couldn't get rid of the guilt in his heart.

Zhong Fei: "In the past three years, he must have had a hard time."

Yuan Tong: "I can't usually tell that Mu Jin is not the kind of person who writes everything on his face."

In this respect, he is very similar to his father Liu Junwu.When I came to Mujin's house again, the peach blossoms of Xiaoshizi had withered, leaving only green branches. It was hard to imagine that the splendid life would wither in just a few days.

Zhong Fei thought of another question.

Zhong Fei: "Mu Zhu is really a strange man. He has lived in the wind and dust for more than ten years. I heard that before he was killed, he had indeed redeemed himself and was ready to travel around the world."

Yuan Tong: "That's true, so everyone didn't suspect it."

Zhong Fei: "Why did he suddenly want to redeem himself and leave when Hibiscus came after staying for more than ten years? He has the best relationship with you, should he have said something?"

After a long silence, Yuan Tong let out a long breath:

"Mu Zhu said that the flying knife was a token he gave to Liu Junwu."

Mu Zhu gave it to Liu Junwu, and then it fell into the hands of the Qi family - the reason is not important, the important thing is that when Mu Zhu saw the flying knife, he immediately guessed Mu Jin's identity.Mu Zhu knew that Nie Yuan was coming again, so he wanted to leave here immediately, just like running away from his lover before.

Zhong Fei was stunned suddenly.

As soon as Mu Zhu saw the flying knife, he guessed Mu Jin's identity; would Liu Junwu have no reaction when he saw the flying knife, not to mention that he had dealt with Mu Jin several times afterwards.

He clearly recognized Qi Jin... Zhong Fei was speechless for a long time.

Yuan Tong looked back at him and smiled wryly: "The protector's personality is paranoid, he has no one in his eyes, and he only regards Muzhu as a treasure. For 18 years, he has come here once a year, regardless of the weather, and he will leave after watching it. , or nothing else was born after the promiscuity, they should be very happy."

Qi Jin hated the person who made her miserable.

Liu Junwu, why doesn't he deeply hate the person who ruined his happiness?

Probably, this is the so-called "fate arrangement".

Whose fault is it? They are all poor people who have been teased by fate.Blame the person who made a mistake and paid the price of separation for more than ten years?Or is it someone who is too stubborn to forgive?Who knows.Zhong Fei looked back at the forest, the green color was rich and deep, which made people feel sad.
