Baishou loses Shaohua

Chapter 34 Master Nian'an

Since he promised to help Yang Tuo investigate the cause of Yang Chonglin's death, Ji Yinghan had to put on a show.After introducing Xuan Lie to everyone, he arrived at Baishuiju under the leadership of Xie Qinghong.Baishuiju has been sealed off by Xie Qinghong's people since Yang Chonglin was killed. Accompanied by Xie Qinghong, Ji Yinghan went around in and out, frowned, on the surface he didn't find anything suspicious place.At this time, someone from outside reported that Mrs. Bai was not feeling well, so Xie Qinghong said "I'm sorry" and left Ji Yinghan and Xuan Lie in Baishuiju and left in a hurry.

After Xie Qinghong left, Ji Yinghan stopped and stood in front of the window.

"That day...the two guards outside the door, you obviously didn't kill them." Xuan Lie walked behind Ji Yinghan, this question had been bothering him just now.

"It's the hands of indifference." Ji Yinghan didn't intend to lie.

"You always knew he was following. You didn't kill them because you knew that Mowei would definitely do it."

"I told you that even if I am injured, it does not prevent me from killing Yang Chonglin."

Xuan Lie was momentarily at a loss for words.Indeed, he was the one who had to come with Ji Yinghan.At that time, he thought that the reason why Ji Yinghan felt that his injury would not prevent him from killing Yang Chonglin was because he wanted to take "Evanescent", so he followed him indiscriminately in a hurry.

It turned out that he was worrying too much.Xuan Lie was a little disappointed. He originally thought that Ji Yinghan didn't kill those two because of his stop.

"Let's go, it's meaningless to stay any longer. Mowei will do the next thing well." Ji Yinghan turned around and said to Xuan Lie.

The two walked out of Baishuiju, and were thinking of saying goodbye to Xie Qinghong, but they unexpectedly ran into Master Nian An within a few steps.

"Master Ji and Mr. Xuan, I wonder if I will have the honor to invite you two to the bamboo garden." Master Nian'an seemed to have been waiting there long ago.

Ji Yinghan glanced at Xuan Lie, then nodded: "The junior will bother the master."

On the northeast corner of Baijiabao, a quiet courtyard is surrounded by rows of lush bamboos. As soon as you walk in, you will feel the deep silence and refreshment. This is the bamboo garden.Walking along the winding bamboo path to the center of the courtyard, two simple and elegant houses are lined up side by side, which are the residences of Master Nian'an and Taoist Master Xu Wu.

"You two, please—" Master Nian'an pushed open the door of his room, and walked in first, "Master Xu Wu is proficient in medical skills, and was just called by Master Xie to diagnose Mrs. Bai's pulse."

"Master's place is really elegant and quiet, so enviable." The furnishings in the house are also simple and simple, which made Xuan Lie admire.

"It is said that this bamboo garden was originally a place for the old lady of the Bai family to clean up. She has been free since she passed away. Later, the leader Bai proposed to build a residence for us in the Bai family castle. Daoist Xu Wu and I felt that it was too expensive. , so I wanted this ready-made quiet place." Master Nian'an stroked his long white beard, "It was only later that the two of us found out that this was the place of Mrs. Bai, but I didn't expect that the leader of the Bai alliance had never said anything to me. We’ve mentioned it, and we’ve been ashamed to bother.”

"President Bai is also a caring person." Ji Yinghan nodded.

"He...was never a villain." Master Nian'an sighed, and then asked, "What does Alliance Master Ji think?"

Ji Yinghan was stunned for a moment, a little confused, "Mr. Bai is a man, so naturally there is no reason for me and other juniors to comment freely. I don't know why the master made such a statement?"

"My old man thinks that Alliance Master Ji should understand." Master Nian'an turned to look at Ji Yinghan, and said slowly, "Master Bai, the martial arts tournament, and Master Yang...is there no necessary connection between them? ?”

Ji Yinghan suddenly felt a chill down his back. Master Nian An's words had already pierced the window paper, and all the plots and secrets would be exposed with just a little force.He and Xuan Lie looked at each other, seeing the shock and uneasiness that they tried to hide in each other's eyes.

"The junior doesn't understand the meaning of the master."

Ji Yinghan took half a step forward, the short dagger in his sleeve quietly fell into his hand, the wide sleeve blocked Master Nian'an's sight, Xuan Lie behind him noticed that Ji Yinghan had already moved to kill, he suddenly took a step forward , and stood sideways in front of Ji Yinghan.

"Since the master thinks that there is a connection between these three things, please tell me directly, so don't go around in circles with the younger generation." Xuan Lie said.

Ji Yinghan stared at Xuanlie's back and didn't move.

"Master Ji, Mr. Xuan, the house you live in Linzhou now has the owner's surname Yao, isn't that right?"

"The surname is indeed Yao." Xuan Lie nodded.He wanted to see what kind of medicine Master Nian An was selling in this gourd.

"From the first day you lived in that house, I already knew that one of the two young masters with you should have the surname Yao." Master Nian An sighed, "Should I tell you the rest?"

"Since the master knows the purpose of the junior, why doesn't he expose the junior in public during the martial arts competition?" Ji Yinghan asked.

Master Nian'an walked to the window, and the courtyard was full of green eyes: "Thousands of things in the world, samsara changes, every effect must have a cause, and every cause must have an effect, how can I stop it? I couldn't stop it back then, today... ...can't stop it."

"Back then?" Ji Yinghan did not ignore the trace of helplessness in Master Nian An's tone.

"29 years ago, the only son of the Yao family returned to his hometown with his father to worship his ancestors. When he passed by Anning Temple, it happened to encounter a rare heavy rain, so he stayed in the temple. The son of the Yao family was talented and intelligent, especially in the game of Go. At that time The old monk is not yet the host, he claims he has never met an opponent on the chessboard, but he never expected that the chess game against him for a whole night would end in a tight game. Every year from now on, the son of the Yao family will stay at the Anning Temple when he returns home to worship his ancestors. After staying overnight, I played chess all night long. Until 16 years ago, when the previous dynasty fell, I no longer had any opponents to play chess."

"It turns out... is Prime Minister Yao's old friend." Ji Yinghan loosened his fingers holding the short dagger.

"Why did the master say 'it couldn't be stopped back then'? Could it be that you knew that Li'an was about to encounter a mutiny back then?" Xuan Lie asked.

"I am a close friend with Lord Baibao. At that time, he came to me and said that one general will become ten thousand bones. Emperors, kings, and supreme martial arts are all like this. He is a layman, so the position of leader of martial arts is inevitable." Master Nian'an paused. Dun, "16 years ago... that night. During the bloody storm in Li'an Huangcheng, almost all the sects turned against each other. There were only a few of them, and they were outnumbered. In the end, they either surrendered or were destroyed. And I quietly sent to Yao The person who sent the letter to the prime minister has also disappeared."

"Since the master didn't intend to stop it, why did you ask the junior to come here?" Every time the old things are mentioned, it is a heavy pain with bloody smell.

"I just don't want to have any more regrets." Master Nian'an turned around, "Master Ji, the past and the past are like a passing cloud, and a lifetime is just a flick of a finger. Not letting go is the greatest suffering in the world."

"Master wants to persuade this junior to give up revenge." Ji Yinghan said flatly.

"Master Ji is still young, why bother to be persistent."

"The past may be like clouds and mist in the eyes of the master, but it is like sand in the eyes of the juniors. To the juniors, the most bitterness in the world is the meaning of life." Ji Yinghan looked deeply at Master Nian'an I bowed, "Master's kindness is appreciated by the younger generation, but as the master said, there must be an effect if there is a cause, and there must be a cause if there is an effect. Now that there is a cause, the younger generation must ask for an effect."

"If the master has nothing else to do, let the junior leave."

Ji Yinghan and Xuanlie left Baijiabao and returned to Yao's house, they were speechless all the way.

Back at Yao's house, the two led the horse to the stable, Ji Yinghan called to stop Xuanlie who was about to turn around and go back to the house.

"You have something to tell me." Ji Yinghan could see that Xuanlie was hesitant to speak several times along the way.

"Master Nian'an is not a villain, nor is it your enemy. But you just wanted to kill him."

"I have killed so many people, not only villains and enemies among them. But all possible troubles and threats must be dealt with in advance. It has always been like this. What's wrong?"

What Ji Yinghan said made sense, but Xuan Lie couldn't stop feeling chills in his heart: "No, you had no choice but to kill someone, not..." When Xuan Lie reached this point, he couldn't say no. down.He has always believed in his heart that Ji Yinghan's nature should be kind. He has always felt that it is because of the changes in his life that Ji Yinghan is so indifferent, but indifference should not be cold-blooded... but it shouldn't be, what? Things are solved by killing...

"Killing is killing, what's the difference?" Ji Yinghan's tone remained calm, and then he continued, "Xuan Lie, who are you apologizing for? Is it for me or for yourself? No need, I've always been like this, cruel or cold-blooded, this is me. If you can't pass the test of justice in your heart, I can't do anything. "

Ji Yinghan passed by Xuan Lie's side and left a sentence, a little tired and helpless.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. But no matter what, I can't become what you want."

"What about me?" Xuan Lie clenched his fists, "If one day, I stand in a position that threatens you, will you kill me too?"

Ji Yinghan suddenly stopped in his tracks.
