The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 101 The Ugly Slave (10)

Listening to Ji Youjie's narration, I was at a loss at first, not knowing what this matter had to do with me, but when I listened further down, even my hairs stood on end, and I almost started to fight coldly.Because what Ji Youjie said was actually about the Wen family—the Wen family who raised me up and treated me like their own.

I didn't leave Wen's family until I was almost 20 years old. Not long after I left, the whole Wen's family was buried by landslides.Before, I always thought it was a natural disaster. Although I was sad, I never thought of going anywhere else.But now Ji Youjie told me that this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!
When I suddenly heard such news, my heart was flustered and I was completely dumbfounded.Ji Youjie glanced at me, sighed softly, and continued.Xin Ruyi didn't hear the news after the landslide happened, but only recently learned about it. As soon as he learned about it, he rushed to the town office and told Ji Youjie what happened to him.

When Ji Youjie heard him mention Wenling Town, he naturally knew that he was talking about the Wen family's affairs, so he was shocked and asked him the whereabouts of his group.It's just that Xin Ruyi and that group of people have never lived together. Although they were suspicious of them before, they just kept it in their hearts and didn't go into it. Naturally, they don't know their whereabouts.

And not long after Xin Ruyi told Ji Youjie about this, Xin Ruyi mysteriously "disappeared" together with Mount Sumeru Temple.Because these two incidents happened too close together, Ji Youjie always thought that Xin Ruyi's disappearance was related to Wen's family being buried in a landslide, so he said that to me at the beginning.

"Now it seems that what happened to Xin Ruyi has nothing to do with the Wen family, it's just that he happened to witness it." Ji Youjie stretched out his hand and patted the back of my hand, with a look of comfort on his face, but he didn't say anything Words of comfort.

I recovered from the shock, and only then did I know why he said yesterday that once I knew the connection between this matter and me, I would not have the heart to investigate this matter.Although I belong to the Wei family, I have been in the Wen family since I was a baby. Although I was shocked and sad when I learned of the tragedy of the Wei family, it was not as shocking as the change of the Wen family at this moment.

Because of the great shock, my whole body was numb.Seeing this, Ji Youjie didn't speak, but just watched me quietly.After a while, I felt that my thoughts gradually came back to me, and I opened my mouth and said, "Someone plotted against the Wei family back then, and someone plotted against the Wen family 20 years later. There must be a connection between these two things."

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I was taken aback by myself, because the voice sounded dry and hoarse, and I could almost hear the cracking of my throat.Ji Youjie was also taken aback, and hastily brought over the teacup at hand to moisten my throat.I took the teacup, but almost knocked it over on me. I managed to calm down and took a sip, but when I swallowed it, I felt my throat hurt.

"You're right, there must be a connection between these two things." Ji Youjie looked at me worriedly, "It's just strange that these people have spent nearly 20 years plotting against the Wen family, not the Wei family. It’s really intriguing to act as soon as the tragedy happened.”

"Do you have any ideas?" After I took a sip of tea, I finally calmed down, but I still couldn't think about anything.

"I think," Ji Youjie's eyes suddenly became a little erratic, "These people only attacked the Wen family 20 years after the Wei family tragedy. They seem to be waiting for something."

"What are they waiting for?" Although I was disturbed, I still saw the strangeness in his eyes, and hurriedly asked.

Ji Youjie hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know whether to say this, and finally said after a while: "I think they seem to be waiting for you to grow up and to leave the Wen family. So as soon as you leave, the Wen family It was immediately buried by a landslide."

I was stunned when I heard the words, Bu Ying and I had guessed that the tragedy of the Wei family was not over yet.Now that I think about it, what happened to the Wen family is the follow-up to the tragedy that year, but why did it take 20 years for the follow-up to come? What are they waiting for me to grow up?
Ji Youjie seemed to have an answer to this in his heart, but he refused to say it out. No matter how I asked him, he would always talk about him.I was very angry for a while, and said indiscriminately: "Whether it is about the Wei family or the Wen family, it is inseparable from the people inside the organization. You are all suspicious!"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I regretted a little. Even if I had doubts in my heart, I shouldn't be so open-minded to my elders.Unexpectedly, Ji Youjie was not angry when he heard the words, but he was actually a little relieved, "Yes, I was just going to remind you of this matter, since you thought of it yourself, it would be best. From now on, you must be more careful in everything, even for those within the organization. One cannot be completely defenseless."

I had doubts about Jindi, Hu Xiaotian and others, but at this time he even warned me without hesitation, I was a little embarrassed when I heard the words, and apologized to him.Ji Youjie shook his head to indicate that it was okay, but he still refused to tell me what those people were waiting for me to grow up to do.

Everyone I met along the way only said half of the words to me, and I have long been accustomed to it. If I want to ask about the organization again, he will not tell me, so I simply saved this tongue.The most important thing right now is to track down the group of people who caused the landslide.But although Xin Ruyi saw the group of people, he didn't know where they were going. What about now?

I tried my best to calm myself down, closed my eyes and held my breath, and began to think about what to do next. After a while, I opened my eyes and said: "Xin Ru met those people once or twice, and they all came out of the ancient temple in the deep mountain. At that time, did you say that this ancient temple could be Mount Sumeru Temple?"

Ji Youjie was a little surprised when he heard the words, "I didn't expect this. Yes, he left Mount Sumeru Temple almost 20 years ago, so the first time he met those people, he probably escaped from Mount Sumeru Temple when."

"Since he met that group of people when he came out of Mount Sumeru Temple, will Xin Shouyi also meet that group?" I asked him, with a trembling tone.

Ji Youjie glanced at me, then suddenly got up and said, "Let's go to the town hall."

We rushed to the town office in a hurry, Xin Shou was surprised when he saw that we suddenly asked an irrelevant matter, and said: "After Xin Ruyi burned down the temple, he knocked me unconscious and put me beside the ruins. A person who went into the mountain found me. I once asked them how they found it, and they said that they saw a person coming out of the mountain outside the mountain, and they were curious, so they came in to have a look, and it was a coincidence that they saved me."

Ji Youjie and I were overjoyed, it turned out that it was the group that met Xin Ruyi who rescued Xin Shouyi, so we hurriedly asked him where the group was going.Xin Shouyi, he has practiced with his master in the mountains since he was a child, and has never set foot in the outside world.So after leaving the Mount Sumeru Temple, I looked at a loss, not knowing where to go.

At this time, someone in the group said that he knew a monastery that was accepting young novice monks. If Xin Shouyi had nowhere to go, he could recommend him to this monastery to continue to become a monk.Of course, Xin Shouyi couldn't ask for it, so he followed the man.But since then, he has never seen that group of people again, and he doesn't know who they are from and where they live.

Not long ago, the person who recommended him to be a novice monk suddenly came to him again, saying that he met the person who left the mountain again.When Xin Shou heard from him that he met Xin Ruyi again, he naturally asked about Xin Ruyi's whereabouts.The man said, when he saw Xin Ruyi walking out of the deep mountain and found the ruins of Mount Sumeru Temple after entering the mountain, he had already guessed in his heart that he was the murderer who burned down Mount Sumeru Temple, so this time he kept his eyes open and followed him all the way secretly.

The man followed Xin Ruyi to Meihua Town, found out that he had settled here, thought that he should tell Xin Shouyi about this, so he rushed to the temple to tell him about it, Xin Shouyi was therefore I just found Plum Blossom Town. 20 years ago, the man did not reveal his identity at all. At that time, Xin Shouyi was ignorant of the world and did not ask him, but 20 years later, the man casually mentioned it, but revealed that he lived in Tantou Town and was a fisherman. raw fisherman.

I just came to ask him out of luck, but I was really sad and happy to know the whereabouts of those people back then.Seeing my complex expression, Xin Shou thought for a moment and said, "That man is a fisherman, but he appeared in the middle of the mountains. There must be something strange about it—did he do something bad?"

No matter how bad that person was, he was indebted to him for saving Xin Shouyi in a real way.I didn't want to talk about these right and wrong in front of him, so I used a few words to prevaricate. When Xin Shou saw that I didn't want to talk about it, he stopped asking.Now that I have found out the whereabouts of that man, I will naturally go to him immediately and ask why he and his accomplices plot against the Wen family.

I just hate that there is no wind under my feet, so I naturally don't want to stay any longer. After leaving the town office, I have to go back to Ji's house to get the package, and immediately set off for Tantou Town.Ji Youjie persuaded me: "Seeing that it's already afternoon, you're on the road now, and you'll have to stay overnight soon, and you won't be able to go far, so let's start tomorrow."

"There is one thing I don't quite understand. Since the organization can affect the current situation, why have only Gu Yin and others been investigating the affairs of the Wei family for so many years?" I thought that not only should we investigate the affairs of the Wei family, but more There is a writer's matter to be investigated, but there is no movement in the organization, so he can't help asking about the seasons.

Ji Youjie was silent for a while, and sighed: "Thank you for your hard work. But there are some things you may not know about the investigations related to the Wen and Wei families."

He was finally willing to talk about organization, and I was naturally all ears.Ji Youjie told me that this was not because the organization refused to come forward, but because it was unable to come forward.Because since withdrawing from intervening in the current situation 20 years ago, the entire organization has gone dormant, unable to mobilize any more power.

This kind of dormancy will last until the agreed time of the year arrives, and the organization will be reawakened when all conditions are met.Before that, everyone's actions had nothing to do with the organization, this was to prevent someone from using public property for private use during this period, causing catastrophe.So over the years, even if someone is investigating the tragedy of the Wei family, it can only be done in the name of an individual.

This is a preventive mechanism of the organization, not something anyone can change.I was silent when I heard the words. At this moment, I naturally understand in my heart that I have been promoting the 20-year agreement along the way, and the purpose is to wake up the organization again.It's just that I don't know what the situation is when all the conditions mentioned by Ji Youjie are met.When I asked him again, he refused to go any further.

You can't say too much about anything. This is probably the mechanism of the organization.I had no choice but to walk back to Ji's house with him.Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned a corner, he suddenly found a person in front of him, walking unhurriedly on the road, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.

Seeing him here, we couldn't help being a little surprised, because this man was actually the abbot monk of Yunmen Temple, and somehow he came down the mountain.Because I heard about the Wen family all of a sudden, I forgot all about the case of the Xin family, but only now did I remember it when I saw him.

Although the abbot monk is old enough to go to see the Buddha at any time, he is in good spirits at this time, but he doesn't know what to do when he comes down the mountain at this time.Now that we met, we naturally wanted to go up and say hello to him, so we stopped him from behind.The abbot turned around to see us, and was also very happy. He said to us, "It was the Buddha who asked me to come down the mountain."

The old monk always spoke mysteriously, so we saluted him, and I asked, "What did the Buddha ask you to come down the mountain to enlighten sentient beings?"

"All living beings have the joys and sorrows of all beings, so there is no need to enlighten them." The abbot monk said with a smile, "The Buddha asked me to come down the mountain to listen to the opera."

He actually came down the mountain to listen to the opera, he is a virtuous and eminent monk, who would have thought that he would have such a noisy hobby.Ji Youjie and I were stunned for a moment, not knowing if this counts as breaking the precept.Ji Youjie said: "Unexpectedly, the abbot monk is also a theater fan. It's rare! It's rare!"

"The old monk is also afraid of loneliness." The abbot monk An Ran said, "The fireworks in this world, which one is more lively than singing?"

It's true, even the old monk can't bear the loneliness of the empty mountain, let alone Xin Ruyi.In fact, the years have no front, but loneliness can cut the edge. It is really hard to predict what people will do under the extreme emptiness and loneliness.
