Tianyi

Chapter 56 Tianyi Sect Li Jun (6)

After a moment of silence, Xue Yi said again: "Not long after, there were rumors in the rivers and lakes that the other family that had survived the Qiqiao Encirclement War had finally raised another peerless master. Although they lived in Qiqiao The family in the enclosed house has long since retreated from the world, making it difficult to track down. However, Qiqiaolang is famous in the world, and as long as you pay attention, you can always be found. Sure enough, after a certain transaction, the peerless master caught up with him I killed Qiqiao Lang and took revenge by killing him. This Tianyi Courtyard became Qiqiao Lang’s only remaining legacy in the world.”

"On the day when the news of his death came, my master hung up mourning flags outside the courtyard. My master said that no matter what consequences Qiqiaolang's actions had, he was just trying to show his full potential in this world. It's just his superb skills. Just because he has caused bad consequences, even his skills cannot be denied. In this world, there is always a need for exquisite beauty. If you are afraid of being used by others, you don't even want the beauty itself. Well, then what’s the point of life?”

There was a hint of reminiscence on the visitor's face, as if he had recalled some beautiful scene.

Xueyi looked at him and said: "I always remember what Master said to me. Therefore, in my heart, I have never believed that Qiqiaolang is dead. I just feel that since he does not want to appear in this world, why should I Go check? Over the years, I have always asked any questions related to Qiqiaolang. It was not until that day that we sisters gathered together and raised the coffin to reveal the empty coffin. I suspected that Master was not dead, and then I began to think about the past. Later, Qing Yi went to ask the teacher Taiwen, and she mentioned that two years ago, a wandering monk who was abhorrent once came to pay homage to the master, and I was wondering, could it be that Qiqiaolang is back?"

The visitor nodded and said: "My name is "Yan Wei", which means seeking for righteousness. Even I didn't realize that these two words are secretly harmonious with the two words "Yan Ji", which implicitly combines the name of "Seven Skills". The one with the sword Girl, I have a high level of understanding in martial arts, and I can master it very quickly, but in terms of mental agility and meticulousness, I am far behind you, the sect master. That day, she sent me a message, and when I heard her tell you, I once said that I was afraid of seeing you. You already feel something is wrong in your heart. If you hear those eight words from her again, you will know that you have guessed my true identity."

"Swallows are coming from the south. Let's put the table on the tea table...picture of the swallow table!" Lao Che suddenly realized.

The visitor glanced at Lao Che and said, "You just figured it out now?"

Lao Che glared back at him and didn't answer.

The visitor looked at Xue Yi again and asked curiously: "You can guess that Monk Yan Wei is Qiqiao Lang. Although it is far better than ordinary people, it is not traceable after all. The sect master can also guess my other level." True body, this is really surprising. May I ask the sect master how he came up with the idea?"

Xueyi replied calmly: "No one in the world knows where my master is buried except for the people in the Tianyi Sect and the teacher's wife. Monk Yanyi traveled so cleverly that he was able to find the quiet place behind the Five Spirits Temple and go there. To pay homage to my master, you obviously not only know my master, but you must also know something about the relationship between master and teacher Tai. This monk came to Wuling Temple specifically to explore the life and death of my master."

"Recalling what I heard when I was three years old, my master said that Qiqiao Lang had very strict rules, and I thought that maybe Qiqiao Lang was not just a charlatan. Teacher Tai originally came from the palace. If we know the old relationship between Teacher Tai and my master, he should also come from the palace."

The visitor nodded and praised: "He is thoughtful and superb."

Xue Yi said: "I thought that the monk's origin might be in the palace, so I went to the capital with Huang Yi and the old car. I wanted them to check the news of the old dynasty and ask if any prince from the previous dynasty had become a monk. However, neither of them got the exact news. On the contrary, Lan Yi and Chi Yi went far to the Jiuchong Cave in Laoshan Mountain and heard a piece of news from the Immortal, which confirmed my guess."

"Lao Che heard rumors in Beijing that the eldest son of Emperor Zhong was supposed to be poisoned together with his father, but there were rumors that he was actually not dead and had become a monk to avoid disaster. The immortal replied to me that 40 years ago, there was a A prince asked him for the Taoist breath-breathing technique. I then guessed that the prince must have anticipated that there would be trouble in the palace and had taken precautions in advance."

The visitor asked: "Why did the sect master go to ask the Laoshan Immortal without any reason? No one in the world knows about this early experience of mine except the Immortal. But I never expected that even Even the immortals will owe you Tianyi Sect’s problems.”

Xue Yi smiled but didn't answer.

The visitor thought about it for a while, suddenly realized something, and said: "Oh, I understand, I have always hated palace life. When the Holy Emperor was still alive, I was not willing to be restrained by the royal family. I only wanted to rely on my own ability in the world. Afterwards, my father came to the throne, and I was the eldest son. Although I had to return to the palace to be trapped, I had long expected that there would be no happy ending, so I made preparations in advance."

"That year when the palace changed, I held my breath and pretended to be dead. In the end, it was difficult to practice, so I could only pretend. Fortunately, the official in charge of the funeral at that time turned a blind eye, pretended not to know, and secretly let me run away. At that time, I had nothing to offer, so I left the piece of paper recording the breath-breathing technique to the official as a token of thanks... Could it be that the descendants of this official had practiced the breath-breathing technique and provoked Is the sect master asking?"

Xueyi still didn't answer.

The visitor sighed: "If this is really the case, then people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. How can you believe it?"

Xue Yi casually changed the subject and asked: "Master, besides reminiscing about old times, do you also need to ask questions when you are here?"

The visitor covered the box containing the Seven Skills Prism, handed it forward, and said: "The master's information is good. I will no longer conceal my identity and will state the past events in detail, just to ask the master to take over the search for the person." Case, find for me the man in black who sent the Seven Skills Prism."

Xue Yi asked: "Master, do you know the rules of my Tianyi Sect's handling of cases?"

The visitor said: "Everyone knows the rules of Tianyi Sect when accepting cases. After the case is over, I will naturally owe Tianyi Sect three questions, and I will never violate them. In addition, this Seven Skills Prism is also a reward. , I am willing to hand it over to the door owner now." Xue Yi gestured with her chin, the old car stopped, held the door latch with one hand, and held it vertically behind her, walked out of the hospital, went to the monk, and took the paint box , turned around and returned to the hospital, presenting it to Xue Yi.

Xue Yi took the lacquer box and put it on the low table beside him, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Master. Xue Yi accepts this case. However, there are still some miscellaneous matters. I need to ask Master first." .”

The visitor clasped his hands together and said, "Master, please ask. But whether you answer or not is still up to me at this time."

Xue Yi said: "This is natural. It's just that my question has nothing to do with old things, and I don't think it will touch the master's taboo... I actually want to ask, what did the master and my sister Xi Jian say?"

The visitor was slightly startled and then became speechless.

Xue Yi waited for a while and then asked: "Master, is there anything you have to say?"

The visitor smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I can't answer it at all... The door master's questions are very tricky. Anyway, if I don't tell you, you will eventually investigate. Instead of asking you to ask that girl with a sword, why don't I tell you now? You. Speaking of this Seven Skills Prism, there is a story from the past: Back then, I got a rare crystal from the palace, cut it into two pieces, and polished them carefully. The large piece was made into a Seven Skills Prism, and the small piece was made into a Seven Skills Prism. A thin lenticular convex mirror was made.”

"Later I met your master and built a small courtyard for her. I gave that thin convex mirror to your master. When you were three years old, I came here to see your master and we parted ways on bad terms. But. Thinking that it would be difficult to see her after I left, I left this seven-skilled prism in front of the courtyard door, and attached a note, hoping that she would keep the two mirrors in pairs and not separate them."

"But after that, your master deliberately treated me coldly, and never allowed me to get close to Tianyi Courtyard. My martial arts skills were not as good as your master's, and I felt even more depressed. Therefore, I began to travel around the world, heading east to Japan, and west to Japan. Go to the Western Region, go south to Nandao, and go north to the outer vassal domain. During this period, I have returned to the mainland many times and traveled in various places. There is only this Tianyi Courtyard that I will never set foot on."

"Time flies so fast, ten years have passed in a flash, and if I don't deliberately inquire about the news about Tianyi Xiaoyuan, it is difficult to know. I am not too worried. I thought that if the woman does not leave the house, your master will take care of her. My child, you will be more careful and don't let anything big happen. Even though I heard that your master passed away, I didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until more than two years ago, when I came back from a foreign domain, that I discovered that there was no news about your master. It seemed that he was really no longer alive. I know that Tianyi Sect and Wuling Temple have always had a close relationship, so I went to Wuling Mountain to investigate."

"I found out that your master was buried in the quiet place behind the temple, so I rushed to pay homage. After the worship, I chatted with Teacher Tai for a while and asked about the whereabouts of the two mirrors. As soon as I saw Teacher Tai, I discovered that she We are actually old friends, so talking to her naturally followed a certain pattern. She was not very defensive about me. She heard that I was an old friend of your master, and I was very familiar with Tianyi Courtyard and your origins, so the teacher told me frankly, It is said that the thin convex mirror was passed on to Ziyi, but the Seven Skills Prism was not passed on to any disciple."

"I was thinking at the time that it was your master who took away the Seven Skills Prism. She still missed me after all. However, I didn't expect that on Mount Wutai last year, I actually got the Seven Skills Prism, and I got up. Suspicious, thinking that your master is still alive. Of course, the person in black is definitely not her, but even if that person knows how to use the Seven Skills Prism, she must be related to Aunt Tianyi."

"I didn't want the sect master to recognize me, so I couldn't come to Tianyi Sect to investigate on my own, so I thought of that girl Kuijian. She was always causing trouble in the world and was very easy to find. I tried to tell her , she still has a sister in this world, and asked her to come to Tianyimen to ask questions. Unexpectedly, this girl came back in vain several times, and I had to teach her her skills again and again. Naturally, what I said to her also There will be more and more, and in the end, too much talk will lead to mistakes.”

Xue Yi heard this attentively and asked: "It's not necessarily easy to find. If the master hadn't used talisman paper to pass the message, sister Pujian might not be willing to come back from the outer vassal, right?"

The visitor shook his head and said: "You even know about this... Okay, I'll tell you. I know that Ku Jian grew up in Wei Bu Shou's old residence. Wei Bu Shou loved to take advantage of outsiders, but treated his neighbors badly. He was very caring, so he was very popular in that shabby alley. When Wei Busong brought Pu Jian home, he was only a little over a year old. There was a neighbor who liked the little girl very much and treated Pu Jian as if he were his own child. Pu Jian was born two years ago A long time ago, she got into serious trouble and hid in the outer domain in the north, but she told this neighbor how to contact her."

"It's just that I didn't want outsiders to find out the clues, so I went to Wei Bushou's old residence and walked around pretending to attract all the neighbors to come out and watch. After that, I gave each family a paper kite with a hidden message embedded in it. I know that when the family sees the lines of the black sword drawn on the talisman paper, they will know that they want to send a message to the sword, and they will definitely help me pass it on."

Xue Yi said softly: "If Sister Kuijian wants to make a living, it is impossible not to contact anyone in the world. Drawing a black sword can send messages. This must be the trick she left to the people in the world... But unexpectedly, she was killed by the master. I took advantage of it. I guess, Master, the message you secretly embedded on the talisman paper kite means that my master is not dead and she can come back to become my master, right?"

The visitor was surprised and said: "You guessed it right... Even if you have a paper kite in your hand, you should not be able to understand the unique underworld secret language. Could it be that there is someone in this sect who owes you a problem?"

Xue Yi took a handkerchief from the table next to her, untied it and took out the paper kite. She twisted her hands a few times and found that the paper kite had been broken into a flat piece of talisman paper. There are some strange symbols formed on the paper.Xue Yi raised the talisman and said to the visitor: "I didn't ask anyone, and I really can't understand these unique code words. I just guessed."

The visitor marveled: "The master of the door is really ingenious. After my paper kite was folded, only the lines under the wing tips could be roughly seen as a small sword, so the family knew that it was me who wanted to send a message. But they didn't It can be unfolded and will only be passed on as it is. If most people unfold this paper kite, they will never be able to restore it. And you, the sect master, must have unfolded it and restored it again before you can dismantle it so casually... Although you don't understand that sect. It’s a code word, but he guessed it right away, I really admire him.”

Xueyi said: "It's not difficult to guess. I know very well what sister Kuijian has been thinking for many years. When Wei Bubao was alive, my master could not accept her as his disciple. As soon as Wei Bubao died, she deliberately took her with him. She came to Tianyi Courtyard seriously ill and pestered my master in every possible way... As a result, my master passed away due to exhaustion. She could no longer become a master, which became a lifelong regret for her. Therefore, the master wanted her to come back for this reason. , the most effective, once Sister Kuijian understands it, she will definitely come back when called."

The visitor said: "That's right. I came back to see me with my sword in hand. I claimed to be an old acquaintance of Qiqiaolang and Tianyi, and she believed me. I told her that the rumored daughter who escaped from the Wu family was her half-sister. , Aunt Tianyi has been looking for that girl a few years ago. Since there have been rumors circulating that the girl wants to seek revenge, Aunt Tianyi should have faked her death to find that girl. If so. If Pujian can use the power of Tianyi Sect to find her sister, he will definitely be able to find Aunt Tianyi and satisfy her wish to become a disciple."
