Still pity the grass and trees

After leaving the Crane Palace, the two walked in silence for a while, and Ji Tanyin suddenly asked: "They slandered my master just now, why didn't you let me speak?"

Xie Wufeng said: "Except for a quick talk, there is no benefit in exposing your identity there."

"But--"

Xie Wufeng interrupted him: "Ayin, calm down and think about it, if you are not a member of Yushan Shenjian, after you fought with that person in Shen Pei's mansion that day, would you think he is Ji Heng?"

Ji Tanyin was taken aback for a moment, but after thinking about it, a burst of fear suddenly rose in her heart.His bright eyes were clouded, and he asked blankly: "But if that person is not Master, who is it?"

Ever since he met the mysterious man who used the Yushan sword technique in the garden of Shen's house, Xie Wufeng had a premonition that Ji Heng would be involved in a storm, but the water was too muddy, and he still couldn't see why, so he didn't want to say more to make Ji Tanyin worry , Kaijie said: "When your master is out of the customs, you and him will make up the total. It is important to solve the old man Gongqian now."

Nothing happened in the next two days, and the black-clothed dead man who chased and killed Ji Tanyin did not appear again, as if he had given up.Ji Tanyin is sometimes worried about the case of child abduction and trafficking, and sometimes misses Master, worrying and restless all day long.Xie Wufeng couldn't see it, so he dragged him out, took him around the streets, eating, drinking and having fun.

"This time it's clean money." He also specially showed Ji Tanyin a silver coin, emphasizing: "My mother left it to me."

Ji Tanyin knew that he was running on him, and muttered "stingy".Xie Wufeng never talked about his life experience, the word "mother" was like a narrow crack in a clam shell, which aroused Ji Tanyin's interest.He tentatively asked, "Where is your mother from?"

"It's from Luyi."

"Ah! Then she—"

Xie Wufeng looked calm: "It has been dead for many years."

Ji Tanyin tactfully stopped asking.

Walking on the street, it happened that a well-known troupe came to Luyi to set up a stage, so they went to join in the fun.Eating melon seeds and nuts downstairs, etc., at the beginning of the scene, I heard the people around me talking, and then I realized that two more officials of the Luning Party were killed. They were all poisoned and cut their throats in their sleep. It was the ruthless hands taught by Sifan.

Now the Xifan sect is notorious, not only martial arts practitioners, but even the children in the village know that they are all evildoers.A little boy who came to the theater with his father spat on the ground and cursed old-fashionedly: "Collude with eunuchs and kill Zhongliang, Xifan is not as good as teaching pigs and dogs, and has children."

Ji Tanyin already hated the Xifan Sect, and when he heard the children swearing foul language, he was very happy, and was about to laugh, but suddenly remembered the rumors about his master colluding with the Xifan Sect when he was in the Crane Palace, and his expression froze.

Xie Wufeng caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, and guessed what he was thinking in two or three times, so he chatted with a few men on the left, inquiring about details and asking if he had caught the murderer.

One person said: "How can we catch it? Everyone in Xifan teaches evil martial arts and Shudi Dafa. Others take a day's journey, and they arrive in an hour."

Another person sneered: "Since you don't know, don't show it off, and you're still ignorant of the Dafa, thank you for thinking it out! If you want to say it, you can definitely catch it. The imperial court has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Seriously, you can't even catch them!" Yunnan has been flattened! It’s just that the eunuchs are protecting each other, so they didn’t do anything to him.”

The former person spoke suspiciously: "Your Majesty is so partial to listening and believing?"

The last person "bah" said: "Hmph, the eunuch has coaxed the eunuch into discriminating between black and white. Haven't you heard? The order to establish the East Factory has been issued, and Eunuch Yan has become the head of the East Factory! Now hundreds of people have been recruited. It’s a running dog, and it’s being trained by the teacher of Xifan.”

Ji Tanyin listened for a while with his ears upright, and he was slightly relieved when he found that no master of Yushan swordsmanship appeared.However, after thinking about it, it was easier to kill these two officials, unlike Shen Pei's family who had many masters back then, who needed to send someone to delay, so it was normal that the mysterious person did not participate.

After thinking about it, it is always worrying and uneasy.Ji Tanyin secretly made up his mind that after the mastermind of the child abduction and trafficking case is found out, he must find out the mysterious person who used the Yushan sword technique to find out who is pretending to be the master.

After listening to the opera, Xie Wufeng took Ji Tanyin to a restaurant called Xiaochunfeng for dinner, and ordered a jar of Jinhua wine when he came up.Ji Tanyin complained, "You're so addicted to alcohol."

Xie Wufeng smiled lightly: "It's to drive away the cold."

This was the second time he said this, and Ji Tanyin thought about it, leaned over and held his hand on the edge of the table, and felt it carefully for a while.I didn't notice it before, but now I realized that Xie Wufeng's body temperature was several degrees lower than ordinary people's. On a hot day, his palms were dry and cold.

"What's the matter with you?" Ji Tanyin asked, remembering that he was young but possessed powerful martial arts, "Did you practice some evil method?"

Xie Wufeng evaded and didn't answer, his eyes fell gently on the two hands that were intertwined, and he raised his eyebrows meaningfully: "Why, you treat me lightly?"

Ji Tanyin pursed her lips, feeling a little frustrated, and let go of her hand.

After dinner, we went back to the inn, and each practiced a round of kung fu.In order to prevent the killer from the previous few days from making a comeback, the two lived in the same room with only a screen between them.Ji Tanyin works according to the heart method of the "Bodhi Sutra". True Qi rises from the dantian, flows slowly along the meridians, goes up to Baihui acupoint and down to Yongquan acupoint.Listen carefully, Xie Wufeng's side is quiet, I don't know what the situation is.Ji Tanyin became curious, and tiptoely jumped off the arhat's bed, and peeped through the screen.I saw that Xie Wufeng was also in the same meditation posture, with both hands pinched on his knees, his expression was calm, his lips were moving, and he didn't know what he was reciting.

"Does it look good?" Xie Wufeng asked suddenly.

Ji Tanyin was taken aback, seeing that his eyes were still closed, he wondered, "How do you know I'm looking at you?"

Xie Wufeng didn't answer, Ji Tanyin boldly stepped forward and poked him on the shoulder with two fingers.Xie Wufeng opened his eyes suddenly, grabbed Ji Tanyin's wrist and pulled it hard, Ji Tanyin threw himself on him with a low cry, Xie Wufeng leaned back, and the two of them fell on the bed.

The posture is ambiguous, the candle that is about to burn out dances, and the flickering light adds a bit of charm.Ji Tanyin's face was red, her heart was beating wildly, and she hurriedly supported the wall with her hands, trying to get up from Xie Wufeng.

"I'm afraid it will be like this," Xie Wufeng put one hand behind his head and looked at him leisurely, "A Yin hasn't experienced sex in bed yet, right?"

Ji Tanyin became angry from embarrassment, and the faint pain made him feel scared. He hurriedly jumped out of the bed and shouted: "Xie Wufeng! If you continue to make such a move, I will ignore you!"

Xie Wufeng looked at his figure fleeing in a hurry, and said with a joke: "If you ignore me, I will die."

Ji Tanyin returned to his own world, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a damp cloth, silently recited a few dry scriptures, suppressed the unbearable desire, and bickered with him through the screen: "You are a disciple, you are so gentle!" Miss will never forget you!"

If he hadn't mentioned it, Xie Wufeng would have forgotten Wen Muqing.In fact, he was really wronged, but he just rescued a woman in trouble, and chatted a few words on the way, who would have expected that the other party would secretly promise her love.Hearing his arrogant tone, Ji Tanyin gritted his teeth with hatred, and said loudly: "I don't believe it, you must be teasing her."

"Okay, I coaxed her with sweet words, turned her head around all night, and sneaked away while she was asleep, so you can be trusted?"

Ji Tanyin fell silent.The candle flame flickered twice and completely extinguished.

The next day was the day agreed with Crane Palace to get the news, Ji Tanyin woke up early in the morning, waited for a while after getting dressed, and seeing that Xie Wufeng was still sleeping soundly, he unceremoniously hit him twice with Yingxue Sword.

"It's so hot." Xie Wufeng complained, but he still cleaned up quickly.

Immortal Crane Palace was deserted this day, only the middle-aged man who painted bamboo last time was making plans, and two young men who looked like servants were wiping and sweeping.The man saw Ji Tanyin and Xie Wufeng coming in, took out a long and narrow wooden box from the cabinet, opened it with a key, took out a scroll and handed it over.Xie Wufeng tore off the thin thread, unfolded the yellow paper covered with the crane pattern, and saw on the paper: "Gongqian was taken away by a group of unknown people in Xifeng Valley on the fourth day of this month, and his whereabouts are still unknown. "

Ji Tanyin also saw it, grabbed it in disbelief, and read it word by word.

Xie Wufeng looked at the man: "No more?"

"Gone."

Xie Wufeng threw out a piece of silver: "I want to know where he is now and why he was taken away."

The man shook his head: "Brother, it's not about money, we really can't find out for a while."

"You keep the money, do your best, I'll ask again in a few days." Without waiting for him to refuse, Xie Wufeng dragged Ji Tanyin away from Crane Palace.

Ji Tanyin was very anxious, and stopped and walked on the street, constantly muttering: "How could this be? How could this be? Isn't the fourth day the day before yesterday?"

Since the day before yesterday, those mysterious and unpredictable masters who have learned various martial arts have stopped chasing and killing them. Now it seems that it must be the one who kidnapped Gongqian!Now that the old man Gongqian can't be found, the clue of "Bone Qing" is broken, so how to investigate next?

Xie Wufeng frowned lightly, narrowed his slightly long and narrow eyes, and looked into the distance thoughtfully.Ji Tanyin's restless breathing and disturbed footsteps could be heard next to his ears, he suddenly came back to his senses and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Ji Tanyin asked casually: "How?"

"The person who kidnapped Gongqian and the person who chased you may not be in the same group."

Now Ji Tanyin was stunned: "What?"

Xie Wufeng said: "Although the old man Gongqian has superb drug-making skills, but his martial arts is average, it must be easier to attack him, but the other party has been chasing and killing you from the very beginning. It can be seen that they treat you Afraid. Even if you decide to cut the grass and root out the roots and eliminate both ends, there is absolutely no reason to take away Gongqian and let you go. Therefore, I speculate that besides you, someone else is eyeing on Gongqian, or it may be a personal grievance , or are also investigating the case of child abduction and trafficking. Judging from the timing and coincidence, the latter is more likely. The child's master was in a panic, so he couldn't care less about chasing and killing you."

Ji Tanyin was dumbfounded.

Xie Wufeng's analysis made sense, but he felt a sense of resistance for no reason.Before leaving Yushan, he had envisioned how pure the world would be, happy to enmity, punish evil and promote good, and do whatever he wanted. Now that he stepped into it, he realized that behind such a seemingly simple thing, there was such an intricate force.

"But...if that's the case? What should I do?"

Ji Tanyin turned to Xie Wufeng for help, with hesitation and confusion clearly written on his face.

Every time at this time, Xie Wufeng could hear the low hum of a cold and hard string being plucked deep in his heart.He thought for a while, and said: "Wait for the news from Crane Palace, if you still can't find old man Gongqian, and there are no other clues, forget about it. You go to Xiangyang to find your elder brother, and play in the south for a while For a while."

Ji Tanyin seemed to have a backbone, and his sorrow disappeared a lot. He nodded and said: "Forget it. Since someone has kidnapped old man Gongqian, he will definitely investigate to the end."

Xie Wufeng smiled lightly, without telling him, it is too early to assert that this person has good intentions.He is very contradictory, hoping that Ji Tanyin will stay away from these right and wrongs, but also obsessed with his "nosy" stupidity.

Ji Tanyin couldn't think of so much, naively thought that this little episode was about to end, he asked Xie Wufeng, if you really can't find Mr. Gongqian, will you go to Xiangyang with me.

Xie Wufeng smiled: "You want me to go?"

Ji Tanyin replied bluntly: "My elder brother's family is well-off, with a lot of houses, and he likes to make friends."
