Tianyi

Chapter 46 Tianyimen Sword (4)

Huang Yi took a deep breath, turned back to Xueyi and said, "Sister, it's my fault. I thought wrong and hid the words in my heart and didn't say them out. I'm not as transparent as my eldest sister. Guess That's right. Master passed away that year and I never even saw my eldest sister for the last time. I always felt that because of this, eldest sister would suspect that I was not careful enough. Therefore, if I took the initiative to say that I wanted to leave Tianyi Sect, eldest sister would definitely want it."

"I was narrow-minded back then, and then I was heartbroken. After leaving Tianyimen, I disguised myself as an old man and went to the capital to open a small private medical clinic at the foot of the Imperial City. I didn't need the guidance of my master. My acupuncture techniques never used the banner of Tianyi Sect. I just wanted to rely on my true skills to make a living in the world. However, within a few months, a wandering doctor suddenly came to my medical clinic. Monk.”

"A monk from You Fang?" Brown Yi was very surprised and asked unconsciously, then quickly shut up.

Huang Yi just looked at Xue Yi and continued: "I saw that the monk had an extraordinary bearing. Although he was very old, he had an elegant figure and did not look like a bad person, so I treated him carefully. He told me that he was here Not long ago, I just went to pay homage to an old friend, and after that, I always felt restless and couldn't sleep peacefully. I wonder if I have a physical illness."

"I didn't find anything wrong with his body, but I thought it was possible that he was mentally damaged. So I told him that I had a self-made acupuncture method that was quite good at calming the mind and helping him sleep, and asked him if he would like to try it. Give it a try? The monk looked at me for a while and said with a smile, "I don't know why, but when I saw me, I seemed to feel something familiar. Maybe I was destined in my previous life, so I might as well give it a try."

"Sister, you don't know this set of acupuncture techniques of mine. It was during my medical practice that I discovered that some people have been depressed for a long time and will suffer mental losses. They always feel uncomfortable, but no physical problems can be found. So, I After studying for a long time, I thought that I could use acupuncture to relieve the patient's mental stress. And among this set of acupuncture methods, there is one needle that is different. It is to find a very special place on the top of the head and insert it with the Weaver Girl's Golden Needle. . After the patient is stabbed, he will become half asleep and half awake, and he will also say things that he cannot think of normally."

"After the patient said these words, after I removed the needle, he would not remember what he had said at all. But it was very obvious that the patient would become refreshed and the stress in his mind would seem to be gone. And Kong no longer felt any inexplicable discomfort. So, with the consent of the monk, I performed this set of acupuncture on him. He really enjoyed it. After I removed the acupuncture, he praised my medical skills and said , even more powerful than the old friend he knew before."

"But this monk didn't know that after I pierced the Weaver Girl's golden needle into his head, he said some strange words. Although it didn't sound very coherent, I heard it as if it was deafening. He said : Are you really dead... You saved the children of that family... Shenxu should be with you... I don't believe you are dead... The old Taoist nun was actually saved by you... How could you die? ...Taiyin Hospital...go to Taiyuan Hospital to check...how the technique of resurrecting the dead is used..."

"Sister, I know that some people have some strange thoughts deep in their hearts, which they are not even aware of, and when they are awake, they have no such thoughts. These thoughts are accumulated in their hearts, and they will It makes them restless and uncomfortable. But once they say it, even if they don't remember saying such words, it can calm their minds and relieve their discomfort. But I can't tell them these words, so I don't I didn’t ask the monk what he meant by those words he said while half asleep.”

"But after the monk left, I thought about what he said over and over in my mind, and gradually became suspicious. Who was the 'you' that the monk was talking about? Why did he mention the old Taoist nun and his wife? Where is the hospital? He actually talked about the art of bringing the dead back to life, and about an old friend... Suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration, and inexplicably I thought, could the old friend he was talking about be our master? Could it be that master really exists? Is it possible to come back to life?”

"Actually, I think my idea is ridiculous. Maybe it's because deep down in my heart I have always suspected that Master died of illness because of my failure to do my best and lack of medical skills. Therefore, my spirit should also be damaged. I don't Only when you are willing to accept Master's death can you connect the monk's words with Master. I have no proof. I just listened to the lies of the monk who didn't know where they came from, and then I made a wild guess that Master can return to life. Even I can't convince myself. But , but I couldn’t let go of this idea... So, I decided to try to sneak into the Taiyuan Hospital to find out if there was really the rumored ancient method of bringing the dead back to life."

Brown Yi couldn't help but said: "Sister Huang Yi... Really, since you have had this idea for a long time, why didn't you come back to discuss it with the eldest sister? It was only after you listened to the monk's words that you went to ask Uncle Qi to let him He helped you sneak into the Tai Hospital, so after all, you have been taking medicinal herbs in the Tai Hospital for more than a year, wasting so much time in vain?"

Huang Yi said guiltily: "I thought it was wrong. I was afraid that such baseless speculation would make my eldest sister even more unhappy. That's why I wanted to check it out myself. As a result, I spent so long and still found nothing. And because of this, I actually developed an obsession and stayed in the Taiyuan Hospital, refusing to give up. If the eldest sister hadn't summoned me back, I don't know how long I would have stayed there."

Xue Yi leaned the wheelchair over, took Huang Yi's hand, and said: "I am the eldest sister. It makes you so sad. It is ultimately my fault as the eldest sister. Now, our sisters have made it clear. The past is over. There is no need to worry about it." She stretched out her other hand, pulled the brown clothes over again, and said: "From now on, we sisters will work together to support the Tianyi Sect and explore the truth behind Master's death, right?"

Huang Yi and Brown Yi laughed with tears in their eyes and said, "Yes."

Huang Yixuan even asked: "Sister, can we investigate the issue of holding a sword?"

Brown Yi immediately followed up and said: "Whether we check it or not, it's up to my eldest sister."

Xue Yi thought for a while and said slowly: "You two sisters, there is no need to say anything more. If this matter only involves swords, I will not investigate. This is what I think. In the past tragedy of our family, injustice is not unjust. Regardless of whether I know the truth or not, whether I want revenge or not... those family members who have passed away will never come back, so what's the use of investigating?"

"Sister Kujian sang just now, scolding me for forgetting my past relatives, and she was right. Sister Huang Yi felt that I was a little cold to my family, which is right. In any case, I am now the master of the Tianyi Sect. Even if we really decide to investigate, we must not harm the Tianyi Sect. Let me think about it first. I must have a perfect way to do things before I decide whether to accept the case or not."

Huang Yi and Brown Yi nodded, no longer asked, bowed slightly, and exited the room.
Two days later, Xue Yi called Huang Yi and Lao Che into the main room and discussed it closely for the whole hour.

The next day, Huang Yi and Lao Che went out together.

In Tianyi's small courtyard, only Brown Yi was left to accompany Xue Yi, helping to check numbers and take cases.Fortunately, the cases in the past few days were not troublesome. Xueyi knew the details as soon as he heard them and settled them quickly.

There are fewer and fewer people from the countryside waiting outside Tianyi Courtyard.There was actually a person who asked Brown Yi specifically before leaving: Is Tianyi Courtyard going to be closed again?However, the signboard was not taken off. He suddenly said that he would no longer embroider new number plates without any reason. Isn't it a bit of a bad rule in Tianyimen?

Brown Yi took the spatula, hit the man on the head, and said: "Nonsense, Tianyi Courtyard didn't take off the sign, so of course it's not closed. Oh, we just spend time accepting cases, don't we need to spend time investigating cases?" Now, everyone in the world knows the rules of my Tianyi Sect. There are two days a month when no cases are accepted, and there are ten days off every year. Furthermore, once the new number plates are embroidered, it means that for a while, The time to investigate the case is urgent, and the time to accept the case must be slowed down first. What kind of rules are you breaking? I told you to talk nonsense, I told you to talk nonsense..."

The man ran away with his head in his arms.

After a few days passed like this, Lan Yi came back from outside.

Because during this period, there were only two people eating, and there was no need to serve food outside, Xue Yi ate less. Brown Yi didn't have a chance to show off his skills for a long time, and his hands were feeling itchy.Seeing the blue clothes jumping into the courtyard with dust, the brown clothes were overjoyed and got into the kitchen. After tinkering for a while, they brought out two plates of fragrant side dishes, plus a pot of fruit-stuffed sweet juice to relieve fatigue, and placed them in the main room. On the big table.

Lan Yi has finished washing up in her room, changed into a sky blue home gauze skirt, and came to see her eldest sister Xue Yi.

Xueyi's wheelchair can be moved on its own, but it takes some effort and moves slower.However, when Brown Yi put the dishes on the table, Xue Yi was already sitting at the head of the big table, obviously waiting to listen to Lan Yi's detailed explanation.

Lan Yi blessed his two sisters, sat down and started eating and drinking, but didn't say anything immediately.

Xue Yi and Brown Yi looked at each other, and Brown Yi couldn't help but ask: "Sister Lan Yi, what news did you find out here, why don't you tell us first?"

While Lan Yi was eating, he said, "Well...well, I found some information. I'll think about it first, how to tell you."

Brown Yi said anxiously: "What's there to think about? With your mouth that doesn't like to open, no matter how much you think, can you still tell Hua'er? Whatever you find out, just say whatever you want."

Lan Yi smiled and said: "Sister Brown Yi, you have made these two plates of my favorite side dishes. Do you still want to hear me talk first? I have to open my mouth. Of course, I will eat before talking."

Brown Yi was stunned and looked at Xue Yi embarrassedly.

Xue Yi was speechless. After thinking for a while, she suddenly showed a narrow look and said to Brown Yi: "I guessed it. The sister in blue must have met a satisfactory husband when she went there. Therefore, she must first think about it." When I think about it, how should I tell it to me so that I don’t hear it, do you think that’s right?”

Lan Yi opened his mouth and picked up a vegetable, but couldn't put it into his mouth. He stared at Xue Yi, speechless.

Brown Yi was very happy and said: "Oh my God, looking at Lan Yi's appearance, did the eldest sister guess it right?"

Lan Yi closed her mouth, put down her chopsticks, and asked seriously: "Sister, can you read my thoughts?"

Xue Yi also looked a little surprised and said: "Ah, did I really guess? Hey... I was actually joking. I know that although you talk less, sister Lanyi, you never hide anything from your sisters. According to your temperament, no matter what you find out, you should finish talking in one breath before going to eat, then you will feel more at ease. The more delicious the food cooked by the sister in brown clothes, the faster you will speak. Result Unexpectedly, you went to eat the food first, so I randomly guessed at the topic you least like to talk about. I just wanted to tease you. Is it possible that I guessed it? "

Lan Yi nodded and said bluntly: "Yes, I met a good man. But I fell in love with him, but he didn't necessarily fall in love with me. Originally, I was a little confused about how to tell my eldest sister about him. Okay, now that the eldest sister has guessed it, it will be easy to handle, I’ll just say it.”

"I followed my eldest sister's instructions and sneaked to the place where your family's crime happened 20 years ago. Although it is far away from the capital, it is only two days' walk from us. For fear of leaking the news, I dare not look for anyone in the open. To make inquiries, they just sneaked into some mansions and looked through the old documents they could find. However, when the case was brought to Tianting, the local government was afraid of opening up the accounts after the case was closed. They have changed offices several times over the years, either intentionally or unintentionally. All the old documents were destroyed. I only found some private rumors, saying that the household register of your family from back then was probably not destroyed, but was secretly hidden."

"I couldn't find out who hid it, so I used a stupid method. I followed the performance records of previous government officials and went to their homes one by one to check. This couldn't just be done locally, so I wasted all this time. I didn't come back until the day after. I have been looking back to the house of the Futai who left office ten years ago. Now he has retired and returned to his hometown to retire. He calls himself Cai Jusou. In the yard of his house, there are only an old couple and his wife. There were several servants living there, defenseless. But I didn’t expect that I would find something in his house.”

"What?" Brown Yi asked nervously.

Lan Yi took a sip of the sweet juice and continued: "It is a small calligraphy given to Ku Jian's father by the previous Holy Emperor when he was in power. It was written by the Holy Emperor himself. This thing can only be from the house ransacked 20 years ago. , copied out.”

"How dare you, the old man picking chrysanthemums, to hide something stolen from the guilty minister's house?" Brown Yi became even more nervous.

Lan Yi said: "Back then, those copied things that had to be handed in were naturally handed in. But 20 years ago, the Holy Emperor passed away long ago, and now, even the reigning emperor has been replaced. Three people, how could anyone care about a small calligraphy of the Holy Emperor? Therefore, this thing was hidden by him. It is estimated that no one discovered it and no one cared about it. However, I thought that if Cai Jusou could hide this secretly, it would be a good idea. Could it be that he also hid the household register secretly? So, I continued to look for it in his house."

Seeing Lan Yi stop, Brown Yi asked, "What happened next? Did you find anything else? Oh... you finished it in one breath, I'm so anxious."

Lan Yi glanced at her and said, "Later, I met a man."

"Huh?!" Brown Yi didn't expect that Lan Yi's tone turned sharply. This turn was a bit too big, and she didn't know what to say.

Xue Yi smiled lightly and did not press the question.

Lan Yi took two bites of the food before he continued: "That night, in the dead of night, there was no movement at Cai Jusou's house, but the yard was big and there were many rooms, and I didn't dare to burn flint for light, so I used the one Zi Yi gave me. A fluorescent mushroom illuminated it, and I slowly searched room by room. Unexpectedly, I found a small tea room. I was rummaging around. Suddenly, in the darkness, a hand stretched out and grabbed my wrist. He said in a deep voice, brat, you are so bold."

"I was wearing black night clothes, with my hair tied up and my face covered. When I heard that, I knew that he had admitted his mistake, so I deliberately replied in a rough voice, I didn't steal anything. If a good man is willing to let me live, I will definitely do it in the future. To repay the great kindness. The man was silent for a long time and just held on to me. Suddenly I realized something and asked, could it be that you, a good man, also sneaked in here? "

"The man grabbed my wrist tightly and said, This is not the place to talk. Let's go and change places. After saying that, he stretched out his other hand to my waist, and I was grabbed by him, and I couldn't help it. , he took me out of the window. I just felt like I was flying in the clouds and mist, but within a moment, he had already taken me captive to a nearby hill."
