Huo Zhongyuan opened the wine jar's mud seal and poured three full bowls. Above the main hall, the aroma of wine suddenly overflowed.
Huo Zhongyuan glanced at everyone and said: "Dear heroes, Huo made a covenant with Xiao Jun that day for one month, requiring Xiao Jun to hand over the murderer. You must have heard clearly what Xiao Jun said just now. After drinking this bowl Wine. Let’s hear what Mr. Xiao has to say!” As he spoke, he picked up two bowls of wine, turned his eyes to Xiao Yunfan’s face, and said with a smile: “Brother Xiao, please.”
Xiao Yunfan thought to himself: Mr. Huo is trying to conquer my army, and now he can only use his tactics to exploit them. Then he took the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Then he said loudly: "Seniors, there was a thief who plotted against Mrs. Mo last night. The reason is clear to Head Huo, but he doesn't want to say it, so I have to leave it to you."
He walked up to Taoist Aunt Yiqing, raised his hands and said, "Auntie, what's wrong with Mrs. Mo's body?" Taoist Priest Yiqing took out a small bag from his sleeve, opened it, and held it up. Inside the small bag is a steel needle as thin as ox hair. She said slowly: "Last night, I was asked by Master Xiao to inspect Mrs. Mo's body and found this steel needle in her chest."
Martial Master Qi stepped forward, took a look, and asked, "Among the masters of hidden weapons here, the first one is Mr. Bai Er. Mr. Bai Er, can you tell us what kind of hidden weapon this is?" Mr. Bai Er took the steel from Taoist Aunt Yiqing's hand. He looked at the needle carefully and said: "This is the bisong needle of the Jiuhua Sect. This needle is as thin as a cow's hair and needs to be installed in a syringe to be fired. The syringe containing this needle is usually very secretive and difficult to detect. Yu When someone gets close to fight, press the spring to launch, and it will be extremely difficult for the opponent to dodge." As he spoke, he glanced at everyone and continued: "The Jiuhua sect only accepts disciples from Wannan. This Bisong Needle's unique skill is absolutely impossible. Side story. I know that everyone here has learned from his family. As for who invented this green pine needle, I really dare not lie."
Huo Zhongyuan looked at Xiao Yunfan and said, "Brother Xiao, please don't show off. Who is the murderer of Mrs. Mo? Point it out happily."
Everyone looked at Xiao Yunfan, who stretched out a finger and pointed at the Confucian scholar Meng Xian who was waving his fan: "The murderer who killed Mrs. Mo is your Excellency!" Meng Xian's face changed, and he laughed a few times and said: "Master Xiao. , you are talking nonsense, so many heroes are present, why do you identify me? Moreover, Mr. Bai Er also said that the murderer used bisong needles, which are the hidden weapons of Jiuhua Sect. Meng’s number of teachers and families, No one here knows this."
Tong Qianjin, the eldest of the two Tong clans, said: "Yes, this Brother Meng is the disciple of Taoist Priest Yunyang. Taoist Priest Yunyang is good at swordsmanship and iron fan skills. Everyone in the martial arts knows this. And Brother Meng is a disciple of Taoist Priest Yunyang. The most important thing is his Iron Fan Kung Fu. The Jiuhua Sect and Taoist Priest Yunyang have always been at odds with each other, so how could they pass on this unique skill to outsiders?"
Xiao Yunfan smiled lightly: "Since you don't believe what I'm saying, then Brother Meng, please give me the folding fan in your hand, and I will prove it to you." Meng Xian said angrily: "You are making trouble unreasonably." Xiao Yunfan said: "Since this The poisonous needle was not sent by Your Excellency, so what does it matter if you show me the folding fan in your hand?"
Meng Xian looked embarrassed. While hesitating, Huo Zhongyuan shouted loudly: "Brother Meng Xian, is it really you?" Meng Xian lowered his head suddenly, pointed at the folding fan in his hand, and shot a thin needle of cow hair toward Xiao Yunfan's heart. Fortunately, Xiao Yunfan was already on guard. He raised his sword and swept the steel needle to the ground. Meng Xian flew up and ran towards the outside of the hall. Xiao Yunfan shouted: "Where to go?", and with a slap of his palm, Meng Xian fell from the air. When he was about to struggle again, a long sword was placed on his neck.
Everyone looked at each other, Huo Zhongyuan stepped forward and asked: "Brother Meng Xian, why did you murder Mrs. Mo and frame me Bashan for injustice?" Meng Xian raised his head and looked at Huang Yiming's face, gasping: "Now... I'm a dead man, if you don't take action, why don't you blame me, brother?"
When Huang Yiming heard this, he pointed his toes and hit Huo Zhongyuan with the cigarette stick in his hand. Monk Hongyuan waved his sleeves and held his cigarette rod away. Mr. Bai Er, the Tongs and others also took action to restrain Huang Yiming and his subordinates. Huo Zhongyuan turned back to Huang Yiming and asked in shock, "How could it be you?" Huang Yiming immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
Xiao Yunfan reached out and tapped Meng Xian's acupoint, then walked slowly to a chair and sat down. Monk Hongyuan asked: "Master Xiao, what is going on?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Everyone must be wondering why the two of them wanted to murder Mrs. Mo? The answer is simple, they want me to die."
Mr. Bai Er frowned and asked curiously: "If they killed Mrs. Mo, can they kill Brother Xiao?" Xiao Yunfan said: "That's right. Seniors, the life-and-death agreement I made with Head Huo that day was really expedient. plan. As for the murderer who framed me, there is no certainty that he will be found out. And the only thing Xiao can do is to prevent Brother Chu’s child from being troubled by the disease. As we all know, this Jinbo Snow Carp is hidden in the Xuanji Iron Box inside, and the key was stolen by a thief. After much thought, Xiao decided that he could only try to open the iron box and get the fish to save people. Maybe the Bashan Party's misunderstanding of me would be reduced.
This Xuanji iron box was made by Mo Lion, the master of mechanism. It cannot be opened by ordinary methods. This iron box can only be opened by using the original dragon and phoenix keys at the same time. The junior then went to Cuiwei Mountain to invite Mrs. Mo to help, believing that the treasure box would be able to be opened. However, the person who framed Xiao will naturally not let me get what I want. They murdered Mrs. Mo just to make sure that the feud between Xiao and the Bashan faction would never be resolved. "
Chu Zhongliu was furious when he heard this, and he walked up to Huang Yiming with red eyes. He punched him on the bridge of the nose, and then kicked him hard. Yin Zhonghao saw that the situation was not good and stepped forward to stop him. He hurriedly said: "Second brother, calm down." Chu Zhongliu said: "I'm going to kill this bitch today. Brother Xiao risked his life to bring back Mrs. Mo. Naturally, he wanted to save my grandson. They killed Mrs. Mo, Leaving the iron box unable to be opened is clearly an attempt to kill my grandson. If my grandson cannot survive, they will not survive either."
Ji Zhongming stood up and groped around Huang and Meng, but did not find the dragon and phoenix keys. His anger suddenly surged up, and he raised his hand and slapped the two of them several times. Seeing that the two of them were extremely excited, Huo Zhongyuan and other heroes stepped forward to dissuade them. Huo Zhongyuan walked up to Xiao Yunfan, bowed and said, "Xiao Daxia, Mr. Huo wrongly blamed you. I hope you can try to open this box and save my disciple's life."
After hearing the words, Chu Ji and the two also came over, knelt down in front of everyone, and prayed: "Xiao Daxia, it's our fault that we wrongly blamed good people. The elderly of our two families are now guarding this single seedling. If you feel in your heart If you are angry, you could kill both of us, please save my grandson's life."
When Xiao Yunfan saw everyone from the Bashan faction kneeling to him, he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Everyone, please stand up. Everyone has also seen that Mrs. Mo is dead now. The whereabouts of this key..." Huo Zhongyuan had already stuffed the antidote into his body when he bowed. In Xiao Yunfan's hands.
Feng Yuchun coughed and said, "Fan'er, everyone has heard Mrs. Mo's last words. You must have figured out the mystery behind it. If you try to cheat again, I will be the first to refuse to let you go, Uncle Shi." He winked, indicating that he would stop as soon as he saw the opportunity and not make any more excuses.
Xiao Yunfan thought to himself: The Bashan sect has caused me so much suffering, so what's the harm if I ask them to kneel down? But it’s the old man who wants to expose me. This old man’s prestige has not been enough, and he will become a grandson again in the blink of an eye. Whatever, whatever.
Feng Miaoqing looked at Xiao Yunfan and thought: The old lady is unconscious, how can her words count? I would like to see what you, Xiao Yunfan, are capable of.
Xiao Yunfan said nothing, walked to Dou'er and knelt down. He reached out and took off the longevity lock hanging on his silver collar, and when he broke it, two small and exquisite keys jumped out. He walked up to the Xuanji iron box with the dragon and phoenix keys, inserted it into the keyhole, and turned it gently. The Xuanji iron box opened immediately, and a trace of cold air came out. Inside was the grilled fish.
While everyone was discussing, Xiao Yunfan said to Huo Zhongyuan: "Master Huo, I have taken out the golden wave snow carp. Of course this box should be returned to its original owner." As he said that, he put the cold fish in a bowl. , and then lock the box.
Shui Hanyan walked over with a smile and said, "Brother Xiao, how did you know that the key was hidden in the silver collar in your pocket." Xiao Yunfan sighed and said, "Mrs. Mo's last words were to say 'collar'. At that time She was confused and couldn't speak clearly. She could only speak the word "Xiong". If the two words "Xiang" are read together, it would be the word "Xiang".
Shui Hanyan glanced at Dou'er again, feeling pity. He said softly: "Brother Xiao, he...he wouldn't have been killed by that person's poisonous needle, right?" Xiao Yunfan shook his head and said: "No. At that time, Mrs. Mo was killed, and Brother Dou'er just fainted. Feng Shibo must have expected someone. It would harm him, so he called everyone to wait in this hall.
When the Dou'er brothers woke up, they started to make a fuss. Huang and Meng had a guilty conscience, fearing that Dou'er would hear their voices and wait for an opportunity to kill and silence them. The leader of Huangzhai deliberately provoked and caused trouble to hurt Douer. Fortunately, Master Hongyuan took action and saved his life. Because Mrs. Mo's death was mysterious, her martial arts skills might not have been able to kill her. Since then, I have suspected that someone used a hidden weapon to hurt her.
I was aware of it as soon as Master Huang made his move. When Meng Xian was about to release the poisonous needle, I had already used my fingers to flick the poisonous needle away. At the same time, I sealed Douer's sleeping point from the air, causing the illusion that he was killed on the spot. "
After listening to Xiao Yunfan's words, everyone was in awe of him. Abbot Hongyuan smiled and said: "Master Xiao is so wise that a catastrophe has finally been eliminated." Xiao Yunfan said sadly: "Master, you are so complimentary. Although we have caught the murderer, Mrs. Mo's life..." As he said, He remembered what Mrs. Mo said when they were on the boat that day.
Now that Mrs. Mo has passed away, this kid is helpless. I think the matter of Jin Bo Xue Li has not been fully investigated yet, so I can't take Dou'er with me, so there is no point in sending him home. Immediately he thought about it and said: "Master, this junior has an unkind request and I hope that Master will fulfill it." Monk Hongyuan said: "Xiao Jie has something to do for me, but it's okay to say it." Xiao Yunfan said: "Brother Dou'er He is mentally retarded and his parents are now dead, so he still hopes that the master will take him under his wing.
It was the junior who brought his mother and son to this Bashan. He never thought that the old lady had been harmed by others. The junior should have taken care of him for the rest of his life, but the matter of Jinbo Snow Carp has not been truly found out. I cannot take care of him, so I entrust him to the master. "He said and bowed deeply.
Master Hongyuan was originally compassionate, and after hearing about Douer's life experience, he felt pity. Said: "My Buddha is compassionate and shows mercy to the world. I promise you."
At this time, Huo Zhongyuan came over and said: "Brother Xiao, Master Hongyuan, what happened to Mrs. Mo in my Bashan, Huo is to blame. Brother Xiao must have a grudge against my Bashan, so he entrusted the master to me." , I think it will make Huo ashamed. Since the master has agreed, Huo has thanked the master."
When the heroes saw that the culprit had been captured, they all wanted to say goodbye. At this time, Feng Yuchun stood up and said: "Master Huo, does the status of life and death that my nephew left in your hands still count?" Huo Zhongyuan looked embarrassed, and hurriedly took out the status of life and death from his arms and showed it to everyone, and said loudly: " I, the Bashan Sect, have wiped out all the grudges between me and Xiao Yunfan." As he spoke, he used the power of his palms to rub the life and death form into powder.
Feng Miaoqing held her grandfather's arm and said, "Grandpa, should we go?" Feng Yuchun said, "Don't worry, there are still many doubts about the Jinbo Snow Carp. We have to help Head Huo find out about this matter."
Feng Miaoqing's words were originally words of temptation. When her grandfather said that he would not return for the time being, he felt extremely happy.
All the heroes felt that the notarization was over and that punishing the culprits had nothing to do with them, so they all stood up and bid farewell to Huo Zhongyuan.
The water is full of smoke. On this Bashan Mountain, except for being familiar with Xiao Yunfan, everything feels strange. Seeing everyone leaving, her heart suddenly felt empty and she returned to the room alone. I missed Master and Sister in my heart, and I couldn't help but cry.
At this time, someone knocked on the door. She quickly wiped away the tears on her cheeks, opened the door and called: "Brother Xiao." Feng Miaoqing smiled slightly and said: "Hello, girl, I am not your Brother Xiao. I can come in and talk to you for a while. Words?"
Shui Hanyan's cheeks turned red and she smiled and said, "Of course. I'm sorry, Sister Feng, I thought it was Brother Xiao." Feng Miaoqing looked at the tears on her face and asked, "Why did that bad boy Xiao Yunfan bully you? Shui Hanyan said: "No." Feng Miaoqing said: "Then why are you crying?" Shui Hanyan lowered his head and said: "It's because... it's because I miss home."
Feng Miaoqing nodded and said: "Xiao Yunfan said that day that you are a member of Xuannv Palace. By the way, little sister, why are you with him? Did I hear that people from Xuannv Palace are looking for trouble for him?" Shui Han Yan said: "It's a long story." He then told how Xiao Yunfan kidnapped him, how the two of them escaped in the cave, and how they arrived at Cuiwei Ju.
Her voice is delicate and very pleasant. Feng Miaoqing listened with great interest and would add a few words from time to time. When it came to the funny part, both of them burst into laughter. Feng Miaoqing is a little older, barely a few years older than Shui Wenyan. On weekdays, the maids at home are all afraid of her, so they don't have many friends who tell the truth. Seeing Shui Hanyan's straightforward nature, she regarded her as a friend in her heart, so she held her hand and asked questions.
Shui Hanyan grew up in Xuannv Palace since she was a child, and she was very happy staying together with her fellow apprentices. This time when I went down the mountain with my master, I never expected to suffer some hardships. For the past few days, she and Xiao Yunfan had been staying together. Although the two were joking, there were differences between men and women after all. This Feng Miaoqing was different. He could talk to her a lot. Now the pain of missing my loved ones has been relieved a lot.
