Before stepping into the gate of Lotus Pier, Wei Wuxian took a deep breath to calm down. But after entering the door, he was not as excited as he imagined.
Maybe because so many places have been renovated. The school field has doubled in size, and the eaves and hooks of the new buildings are scattered at different heights, which is more imposing and glorious than before. However, compared with the appearance of Lotus Pier in his memory, it was almost beyond recognition.
Wei Wuxian felt lost in his heart. Those old houses in the past, I don't know whether they were blocked by these gorgeous new buildings, or they have been demolished.
After all, they are really too old.
On the school grounds, students from various schools began to form square formations, meditate cross-legged, continue to cultivate, and restore spiritual power. After tossing for almost a day and a night, these people were exhausted and had to take a breath. Jiang Cheng led the patriarchs and dignitaries into the hall of the house, tried the sword hall, and then discussed today's affairs. Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji followed, and some people felt something was wrong, but they couldn't say anything.
As soon as I entered the inner hall, before I was seated, a person who looked like a guest came forward and said, "Sect Master."
He leaned into Jiang Cheng's ear and whispered a few words, Jiang Cheng frowned, "No. I'll talk about it later, didn't you see what's going on right now?"
The guest said: "I said it before, but the two women said... They came for today's event."
Jiang Cheng said, "What's the origin of the other party? Which female nun?"
The guest said, "None of them are female cultivators. The subordinates can be sure that they are all ordinary women without spiritual power. They all arrived today, and they also brought a batch of precious medicinal materials, but He didn't say which family owner sent it, but only said that he had something important to tell the sect master. The subordinates listened to what they said was no trivial matter, and they were afraid that they would be neglected. Inappropriate spells."
It wasn't anyone who saw Yunmeng Jiang's clan master, and he refused to tell the origin, and they were two ordinary women who had no spiritual power and no family background. However, with a batch of precious medicinal herbs, Ke Qing, who was in charge of the reception, would never dare to neglect him. Even if he didn't care about courtesy, the strangeness of Shan Chong could not be ignored. Jiang Cheng said, "Everyone, please sit down as you please. Rong Jiang will be excused for a while, and he will return when he goes."
Everyone said: "Sect Master Jiang is polite."
However, Jiang Cheng didn't go back, but didn't return for a long time. It would be rude to ignore the guests in the house, not to mention that the situation is still very urgent, and everyone is waiting to discuss important matters. After half an hour, Jiang Cheng still did not appear, and many people began to feel uneasy or dissatisfied. At this moment, Jiang Cheng finally came back. When he left, he looked as usual, but when he came back, he looked cold and solemn, and he walked like flying. He also brought two people, two women, who should be the two who came to visit. Everyone originally thought that even if they were two ordinary women, they should be extraordinary if they were able to visit with a heavy gift. Who knew that these two women were not young, and the details of the corners of their eyes and mouth were old, and a low eyebrow was pleasing to the eye, Frightened, one was covered in dust and dust, and his face was slashed five or six times. The knife marks were old and terrifying. In this way, the two women brought them to the sword test hall, and pointed them to the center of the hall.
Jiang Cheng's face was gloomy, and he said to the two women who sat down tremblingly, "You talk here."
Sect Master Yao said, "Sect Master Jiang, who are you?"
Jiang Cheng said, "This matter is too appalling. Jiang did not dare to rashly ask questions carefully, so it took some time. Please be quiet and listen to the two of you." He turned around and said, "Which of you two comes first? Say?"
The two women looked at each other in dismay, and the woman who was full of wind and dust was more daring, got up and said, "I'll come first!"
She saluted casually and said, "What I want to say is an old thing about eleven years ago."
Listening to Jiang Cheng's tone, everyone knew that what this woman was going to say was definitely not an insignificant matter, and they all thought to themselves what happened eleven years ago. The woman said: "My name is Sisi. I was originally a skinny businessman, but I've been popular for a while. I found a wealthy businessman ten years ago and wanted to marry. Who would have expected the wealthy businessman's wife to be a powerful person, and found a group of big men. Slashed my face with a knife, and I became like this."
The woman was not ashamed when she spoke, and she didn't know how to beat around the bush. Hearing some female cultivators raise their sleeves to cover their mouths, some male cultivators frowned frequently. Sisi said: "My face has become like this, and my life is not the same as before. No one will look at me, let alone do my business. The original restaurant kicked me out. I don't know how to do it. Others, but I can’t get jobs everywhere, so I go with those older sisters, their customers are not very demanding, and if you have any jobs, I can make do with my face covered.”
Speaking of this, some people couldn't take it anymore, and the contempt in their eyes had already flowed out naked. Some people didn't understand why Jiang Cheng wanted to let everyone listen to this woman talking about this kind of scandal in public. The homeowners held their breaths and waited for her to speak. Sure enough, she got to the point. Sisi said: "One day, our sisters in the same alley suddenly received a business, ordered more than 20 of us, and took us to a place in a carriage. My old sisters had agreed on the payment, and they were in the car. Everyone was so happy. But I felt something was wrong. To put it bluntly, everyone is either old and old, or like me, paying so much money, or paying first. Is there such a cheap thing in the world? Moreover, the people who came to us were mysterious and sneaky, and they brought the rhythm of the car directly when they came, and did not let anyone else know. It doesn't seem to be at ease!"
Others also thought the same, the original contempt had been replaced by curiosity, Sisi said: "The carriage arrived at the place and took us directly into a yard to get off. All of us have never seen it so tall and so big. , such a splendid house, all were blinded by the shaking, and they dared not go out. A boy was leaning against the door and playing with a dagger. When he saw us, he let us in. He closed the door and entered the house. There were only two people in the room, and there was a man lying in the quilt on the big bed, looking at him in his 30s or 40s, he seemed to be half sick, and when he saw someone coming in, only his eyes could roll."
"what!"
In the sword test hall, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Eleven years ago?! This is... this is...!!!"
Sisi said: "Someone told us what to do in advance, that is, we used our housekeeping skills to serve the people lying on the bed inside, and we couldn't stop for a moment. I thought he was a mighty man, but I didn't expect to be a Sick tuber. How can this person stand to be served? I'm afraid he will die if he is not served twice. How can such a desperate ghost? And they are so rich, they certainly can't afford young and beautiful people, why not Want to invite us old and ugly? I climbed on top of him and was still thinking about this, suddenly a young man seemed to laugh, I was startled, and then I found that there was a curtain beside the bed, behind the curtain Still sitting alone!"
Everyone's hearts were tightly held, and Sisi continued, "I just found out that this man has been sitting behind the curtain, he smiled, and the man on the bed suddenly struggled, pushed me aside, and rolled off the bed. The man laughed even more, and he talked while laughing. He said, "Father, I found you your favorite woman, there are many, are you happy?"
Although this sentence came out of Sisi's mouth, everyone's heart was horrified, and a smiling face emerged.
Jin Guangyao!
And the half-dead man on the bed must be Jin Guangshan!
Jin Guangshan's death has always been an open secret among the families. Jin Guangshan's life was almost indecent, and he was merciful and kept seeds everywhere. The cause of his death was also related to this. The head of the dignified Lanling Jin family, when he was weak, insisted on having fun with women, and finally died of horse wind. This is really not very decent to say. After losing her only son and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jin had been depressed for a few years. She thought that her husband had not forgotten to fool around before he died, and eventually lost his life. The Lanling Jin Sect was covering up the rumors of repression everywhere, but the families had been unaware. With grief and sigh on his face, he actually felt that he deserved it, and deserved to die like this. Who knows that today, they have heard an even more unbearable and ugly truth. The sound of pumping cold air came and went one after another in the Sword Trial Hall.
Sisi said: "The middle-aged man was about to scream and struggle, but he had no strength. The young man who brought us in just now opened the door and came in again, giggling and dragging him onto the bed, took a rope and stepped on him. His head tied him up, and told us, continue, even if he dies, don't stop. Who of us has seen this kind of battle? I was scared to death, but I didn't dare to disobey, so I had to continue. Until the twelfth At eleven, the sister suddenly screamed, saying that he was really dead. I went up to take a look, and sure enough, I was out of breath. But the man behind the curtain said, didn't you hear it? Don't stop when he's dead!"
Sect Master Ouyang couldn't help but said: "No matter what Jin Guangshan says, he is also his biological father. If this matter is true... this is too... too..."
Sisi said: "When I saw that this person was dead, I knew it was over, and we definitely couldn't escape. Sure enough, after the incident, all my twenty old sisters were killed, and none of them remained..."
Wei WuXian said, "Then why did you just keep you?"
Sisi said: "I don't know! I begged so hard at the time that I didn't want any more money, and I would never say it. Who knew that they didn't kill me, they took me to a residence and locked me up. It's been eleven years. I was rescued by accident recently and escaped."
Wei WuXian asked, "Who saved you?"
Sisi said: "I don't know, I have never met the person who saved me directly. But after hearing what happened to me, the benefactor decided not to let this virtuous and virtuous person continue to deceive everyone, even if he is now Covering the sky with one hand, I must also disclose everything he did, seek justice for those who were killed by him, and let my twenty or so poor sisters rest in peace."
