"Someone has sneaked into Xie's Village? Has something been lost in the village? Has anyone been injured?"
"No, the blame is here, no one was hurt, and nothing was lost."
Mo Chen and Xiaodong looked at each other.
There is such a big battle in the village? Master Xie is not such a restless person.
Others don't know about this, but Li Fulin is an exception. Because Zhuangzhu Xie was there when he found out what happened. Thinking about his recent bad luck, he happened to be there when City Lord Song was killed last time, and he got into trouble because of it. This time, something happened in Xiejiazhuang, so it would not be blamed on him again, after all, Zhuangzhu Xie is not such a person who doesn't know good from bad.
"There are too many things." Li Fulin said: "Someone sent a letter, and the letter appeared quietly by Zhuangzhu Xie's bedside. Although his foundation has been destroyed, after all, his cultivation base has not been exhausted. Most people want to quietly disappear." It is impossible for the voice to enter Xie Village, even for a cultivator, it is not easy to put the letter next to Master Xie's pillow without disturbing people."
No wonder Xiejiazhuang reacted so strongly.
Quietly put the letter on the bedside, Master Xie didn't know anything about it. If this person didn't come to deliver the letter, and he was stabbed directly, Zhuangzhu Xie might die.
"Why do you use this method to deliver the letter?" Xiaodong felt that this matter was really weird from head to toe: "Why can't the letter be delivered to the door openly?"
Could it be that the letter was sent for the purpose of intimidation and blackmail, as in the gossip stories Senior Brother Jiang told him before
"It's hard to say whether it's good intentions or malice." Li Fulin glanced at the letter, which was enough for him to see clearly the few lines on the letter: "The letter has not been signed, and the message written on it is also very simple. Two of the people who thanked the owner for the invitation were killed on the way here, and their invitations disappeared, and someone took the invitation and sneaked into Xie's village."
It's hard to say that the reasons for Xie Zhuangzhu's panic and anger are two the same, whether it is the way of sending the letter or the news written on the letter, probably a combination of both. Whether someone killed the guests he invited and sneaked into Xie's Village, or someone notified him of the news in such a weird way, it was a big threat to Mr. Xie.
Xiaodong asked suspiciously: "Could this news be true?"
If it is true, someone killed someone, stole the invitation card, and sneaked into Xiejiazhuang, why did he come here? It must be malicious.
Who is the messenger? If it is for the good of the owner, after discovering this matter, you can come to inform him openly and aboveboard. Even if you have some scruples and are afraid of causing trouble, you can use other methods to bring in the news, but the method chosen by the sender is so weird and creepy.
Not to mention thanking the owner, even Xiaodong felt that it was scary to hear about it. Put yourself in his shoes, someone sneaked in when he was asleep, left such a letter by the bedside, maybe after putting down the letter, he was still standing by the bedside to examine the sleeping defenseless person...
"What is there in Xiejiazhuang that is worth plotting against?" Mo Chen asked softly, but he seemed to be asking himself and answering: "Master Xie's foundation has been destroyed, he has always been kind to others and has no enemies. What is there in Xiejiazhuang that is worth plotting against?"
Xiaodong only knows one: "Nuanquan?"
"Ordinary people don't know this, and it's useless for ordinary people's ailments. If a cultivator has a mild internal injury, he doesn't need a warm spring at all. He can just retreat and adjust his breath." Li Fulin explained to his young apprentice: "If the internal injury is serious, then Warm springs can't do much."
As for the effect of the warm spring on trauma to the soul, very few people know about it.
But with such skills, then just steal the token and go to Nuanquan, why send a letter
Can't figure it out.
"The person who sent the letter didn't want Master Xie's life. Killing a person is not more difficult than sending a letter quietly. This person may have an old friend with Master Xie, or it may be the same person who murdered and stole the invitation. There is a grudge, to ruin his business."
"So Xiejiazhuang is now closing the door to thank guests in order to find out the person who came to the banquet under the false name?"
Li Fulin nodded.
"Any clues? It shouldn't be hard to find, right?"
There are quite a few guests from Xiejiazhuang, some hundreds of them.
Li Fulin shook his head: "Master Xie didn't look for it with much fanfare, but the news spread to most of the Zhuangzi in just one meal. Do you think it's strange?"
"What do the rumors say?"
"It is said that someone from the demonic way has infiltrated the Xie family village with the intention of robbing the monks. As soon as the news spread, there were two troubles in the village, and some people went to ask the master Xie to resign at that time. After all, after hearing the demon There are quite a few people who have changed their expressions. Some of them left without saying hello, do you think Master Xie should stop him or not?"
There is no way to stop, there is no proof, he is a guest who came to congratulate you, he heard that it is not peaceful and wants to go back to take care of his own house, you won't let him go? But if you don't stop this matter, there is no way to find it.
The man behind him muddied the water.
Unlike Xiaodong, Mo Chen frowned: "Those people are leaving now?"
Not to mention whether this kind of behavior of retreating in case of trouble is right to thank Zhuang Zhuang, or whether it is moral, but if they leave now, they are afraid that they will fall into the hands of the master behind the scenes.
"They think this matter is coming to Xiejiazhuang, as long as they leave, there will be no danger?"
It is true that there are too many people in Zhuangzi, but it is not the best policy to leave Xiejiazhuang. After leaving, you will be alone and alone.
Li Fulin told the two apprentices: "Don't go out, stay in your room, and I will take you there when you go to Nuanquan."
The first sentence instructed Mo Chen to agree, but the latter sentence said with a smile: "Master is worrying too much, I can still protect my junior brother."
He trusted his big apprentice Li Fulin, but when he turned around, he told Ji Zheng, who was even more worried at home, to say, "You too, don't go out for the next two days."
The two apprentices are actually worry-free, the key is not to worry about being next to the pillow.
Ji Zheng agreed very simply: "I'm not looking for trouble, but do you want me?"
Li Fulin could only smile wryly.
He didn't dare to say that this matter must have nothing to do with him. As for the matter of Huiliu Mountain and Beifu City, there were indeed people staring at him, including righteous and evil people.
"If you really find it, then you have to see the tricks."
Ji Zheng glanced at him and said nothing, but Li Fulin could read what she hadn't said.
Disappointing…
Alas, but what's there to argue about being idle? As far as the prestige and grandeur before him are concerned, he has already experienced all of these when he was still young, and those pasts have disappeared like passing clouds. Win or lose for a while, and return to the loess afterwards.
Well, the truth is this, but Li Fulin felt that he was half-buried in the loess, so he would not fight if he could not fight, and he would give in if he could, but his disciples couldn't. Their days are still long, how can they hide and retreat when they encounter troubles
Mo Chen took Xiaodong back to the room and tidied up a little - mainly to put down the things he bought blindly on the street and prepare to go to the warm spring.
"Still going?" Xiaodong thought they were going to meditate honestly in the room. Xiejiazhuang is in trouble now, and Master also told them to be careful.
Now they still go to the hot spring
"We won't be able to stay in Xiejiazhuang for a few days. The warm spring is good for you. It's good to have enough baths. It's best not to stop in between, it will affect the effect."
As for the people who caused trouble in Xiejiazhuang, Mo Chen didn't take it seriously.
When the crime is real, the one who regrets it must be the other party.
When Xiaodong followed his elder brother to Nuanquan again, he was quite like a soldier on the way, as if he was afraid that a bad person would come out from behind some rock or tree.
But things didn't turn out as he thought. The way they went to soak in the warm spring was calm and peaceful, just like a few days ago.
Well, if there is a difference, it is that the surrounding area has become quieter, and the hustle and bustle of the previous two days has disappeared completely. It was obviously in the city, but the surroundings were so quiet that one felt like being in the mountains.
When Xiaodong entered the water, he looked around cautiously, and there was nothing unusual around him.
His appearance makes people want to laugh inexplicably.
What they knew was that he was wary of people in the magic way, but those who didn't know thought he was worried that someone would watch them take a bath.
Mo Chen wanted to tell Xiaodong that there is no need to be so nervous, let alone worry about this matter.
But the words came to his lips and swallowed back. (to be continued)
