The younger brother is a biting leprechaun

When Xu Qing said that, it was somewhat arbitrary.Wen Jifeng asked: "Maybe this painting is just unrealistic, or it may just be Mrs. Chen in the eyes of Chen Junshou." Disharmony, Chen Junshou recalled the old days, and it is not impossible to write these words on the spur of the moment.

Xu Qing smiled lightly and shook his head: "Junior Brother, do you still remember what the cook said when we were chatting today?" That cook has been in Chen's mansion since the guard's family came to Ling'an County.When Xu Qing asked about the eldest son Chen Jiu who died young, she casually mentioned it.Mr. Chen is very similar to Mrs. Chen in life, but he is not liked by Mrs. Chen.In the early years, no one knew what was going on, and there were many speculations.Later, the housekeeper confided after drinking that he knew that Mr. Chen was not Mrs. Chen's biological son.

Xu Qing said: "Chen Jiu looks like his stepmother, and his biological mother probably also looks somewhat like Mrs. Chen." After hearing Xu Qing's words, Wen Jifeng went to look at the picture again, wondering if it was true With the change of mood, the appearance of the lady in the painting is indeed slightly different from the Mrs. Chen I met yesterday.

After talking gossip, it's time to talk about serious things.Wen Jifeng asked: "Is there anything special about this painting?" Ruo Xuqing only found a painting of Chen Junshou mourning his deceased wife. At the risk of being discovered, he would go to the study of Sheriff Chen to steal the painting.

Xu Qing smiled but said nothing, and put the scroll on the table.Wen Jifeng watched him press the scroll, and took off the scroll heads on both sides.

"Brother?"

Xu Qing showed the scroll heads in her hand to her junior brother: "Most painting scrolls are made of good wood, but no one would use gold and iron." Xu Qing took off the two scroll heads, revealing the dark part of the scroll body inside , Woody and moist.On the other hand, the two in Xu Qing's hands are red gold in color, hollowed out in the middle, with five blade heads gathered in the shape of a lotus flower, inlaid with gemstones of various sizes, very luxurious.

Literati take money lightly, Chen Yan was born in a wealthy family, and would never show his wealth in such a vulgar way, but it would dirty his paintings.

Xu Qing looked at his junior brother thinking, put his hands together, he twisted the two shafts, and they became one.The two lotus flowers are connected in opposite directions, Xuqing turns around, and three Buddha faces appear in the joint in the middle, one smiling, one angry, and one cursing.The shaft head, which looked very ordinary at first, turned into a palm-length vajra in Xu Qing's hands in a blink of an eye.

Wen Jifeng twitched his brows, Xu Qing smiled and said: "With this thing, it will be much easier to find Master Hui An, and then I will have to bother my junior brother." In addition to temporarily not knowing where it is hidden in Chen's mansion, Xu Qing couldn't think of who else would be the master of this vajra.

Xu Qing still needs to take the night to send the scroll back, and Wen Jifeng still needs to make some preparations for performing the tracking technique.The two brothers and sisters left the vajra, and the matter of finding the person can only be postponed until tomorrow.

Xu Qing rewrapped the scroll, told her junior to go to bed first, and then disappeared into the night.

Wen Jifeng didn't feel sleepy at all at this time, he went out of the room and walked to the porch to enjoy the air.The night wind was chilly, and the moonlight could be seen just now, but now there was only blackness and darkness.In Wen Jifeng's hand, the red-gold vajra exuded a faint light, which could be regarded as a treasure.

"Fellow Daoist Wen." Wen Jifeng turned around, and Chunru was still standing behind him in a blue and white Taoist robe.

Wen Jifeng said: "When you prepare your things tomorrow, you will be able to find the person you are looking for."

"The long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, I have to thank fellow Taoist first." Chunru Jishou said.

Standing up straight, Chunru's eyes fell on the vajra in his hand.Wen Jifeng paused, and put the vajra into his sleeve.When she could no longer see the faint bright light emanating from above, Chunru approached.

"This is a magic weapon consecrated by the Buddhist family. Now I am in the body of a ghost, and I am a little afraid of it." Chunru's expression relaxed a lot, and then said, "When I was in the courtyard of Mr. Chen today, I clearly I felt that Master Hui An was in the well. But after the earthquake, his breath disappeared again. There may be more powerful characters hiding in the Chen residence."

Wen Jifeng nodded: "Not only that, the actions of the servants of Chen's mansion are also unreasonable." Last night's night wolf attack, just relying on the few servants who had practiced boxing skills, it was impossible to kill them all. impossible.And Chen Yu, as a child of an aristocratic family who has never experienced hardship, faced the bloody incident in the courtyard this morning, unexpectedly, he didn't feel the slightest discomfort.Wen Jifeng had already noticed the abnormality.

Chunru's eyelashes twitched, and she asked, "Who do you think it is?"

Wen Jifeng remained silent.When dealing with the picture scroll just now, Xu Qing didn't mention it, but Wen Jifeng didn't fail to think: since the vajra was deliberately disguised and hidden but not yet destroyed, the person who controlled Hui An must still be hiding in Chen's mansion.Just looking at Xu Qing's appearance, as if he was not interested in the person behind this, Wen Jifeng didn't ask any further questions.

After a long time of silence, Chunru suddenly said: "Friend Wen, can you hear the birdsong?"

Wen Jifeng was startled, then held his breath and concentrated.Chunru said the slender and melodious birdsong, scattered in the cold wind, sometimes even covered by the rustling of leaves in the courtyard.The clear and ethereal voice seemed to be absent, and Wen Jifeng thought of the birdsong Ke Mengti heard last night.

When Xu Qing left, he took his saber away, and Wen Jifeng could only take Duan Hongchen and the oiled paper umbrella.Let Chunru hide in the umbrella so as not to bump into anyone.Wen Jifeng's lightness kung fu is not bad, and it is not difficult to climb over the high roof and walls of Chen's mansion.Following the faint song of birds, Wen Jifeng followed the path that Chunru pointed out for him, and arrived in front of the courtyard where Chen Yu lived.

"Is that restriction still there?" Wen Jifeng asked in a low voice.

Chunru said: "Yes, if it's not convenient for you to go in, I can go in and check by myself." Chunru's figure appeared beside Wen Jifeng.Wen Jifeng raised his head, and the courtyard was pitch black.Even if they got close, the bird song was slightly fragmented and very misty.Wen Jifeng was hesitating whether to go in and check, when he was patted on the shoulder suddenly.Subconsciously shot, Wen Jifeng's wrist was caught.

"Junior brother, didn't I tell you to go to bed earlier, why did you come here?" Xu Qing's voice was a little troublesome, and the smile on his face was slightly helpless.

Wen Jifeng said solemnly: "Senior brother has already discovered this voice?" Xu Qing smiled, and when Ke Meng mentioned this voice, he paid attention.Sending the scroll back, Xu Qing wandered around in the dark in the entire Chen Mansion, and was attracted by the faint singing of birds before she knew it.

"When I visited Senior Qingrong with Master three years ago, I saw a wounded phoenix bird with him, and the voice was somewhat similar to this one." Xu Qing said.

Chunru was surprised: "You mean, fellow Taoist, there is a phoenix inside?"

Xu Qing said: "You have to see this before you know." Xu Qing rubbed his stomach, "If it's a wild bird, we roast it for supper, and tell it not to sleep in the middle of the night, disturbing people's dreams." Wen Ji Hearing the rumors, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly unconsciously, but he couldn't see clearly in the night.

Putting Chunru back into the umbrella, Xu Qing led his junior into the courtyard directly.I don't know what's going on, but with the support of his seniors, Wen Jifeng inexplicably feels a lot more confident.It seems to go back to when they were teenagers, but whenever the two of them made disasters together, the punishment always only fell on Xu Qing.

During the day, after Chen Yu had entertained them for lunch, she led the housekeeper back to the courtyard to clean up the servants in the courtyard.Probably because there were some shadows of snakes, Chen Yu couldn't fully trust any of the servants in the courtyard, so he drove them all out.After Xu Qing and Wen Jifeng came in, they felt that the yard was much cooler than during the day.

There is a faint light in the house through the window.Xu Qing and Wen Jifeng looked at each other, and stepped forward in a tacit understanding.In Chen Yu's room, the windows and doors were all bolted, Xu Qing took a lot of effort to sneak in in order not to disturb him.

After the door was pushed open, the flickering light in the room became clearer, and the furnishings in the room were also seen much more clearly.Xu Qing glanced around, and finally her eyes fell on a plate of bonsai peonies on the table. The bowl-sized flowers, half of the petals are divided into red and half of deep red, the two complement each other very beautifully.But Xu Qing can't appreciate this elegant flower, scratching her nose to figure out why someone keeps Luoyang Brocade in their house.

"Brother?" Wen Jifeng called him in a low voice. He was already standing by the screen that partitioned the inner room, and the light was shining from behind the screen.Xu Qing walked forward quickly, bypassing the Jinping embroidered with patterns of flowers blooming and wealth, behind which was a sleeping couch.The window curtain was not lowered, and Chen Yu was lying peacefully on the bed at this time, with a golden bird parked beside the bed.

Scratching the back of her neck, Xu Qing said in a low voice: "Master Chen really has a heart, such a bright bird, he can still sleep." Wen Jifeng glanced at him, and pulled his clothes The sleeve reminded him to keep silent.

The bird on the head of the bed, the golden feathers are mixed with red patterns, looks very beautiful, it chirps lowly from time to time, the sound is very pleasant, but it looks a little sluggish.It saw Xu Qing and Wen Jifeng, but it still stopped where it was, and just stared at them with eyes that had two pupils.With twin pupils and a song like a phoenix, Wen Jifeng saw Chongming Bird for the first time.

"Brother..." Chen Yu, who was lying on the bed, suddenly murmured in a low voice, with a painful look on his handsome and peaceful face.

The bird moved, and lowered its neck towards Chen Yu's forehead.Wen Jifeng frowned, wanted to take a step forward but was stopped by Xu Qing.Xu Qing motioned him to continue watching, Chongming Bird pulled out a feather from his body with its beak, the feather slowly landed on Chen Yu's forehead, and then turned into a shallow golden light, sinking into Chen Yu in the body.After a while, streaks of white mist slowly overflowed from Chen Yu's body, forming a silver ball between Chen Yu's eyebrows, which was swallowed by Chongming Bird.
