Chapter 13
Chapter 13
All the disciples looked puzzled, and stretched their necks unconsciously, waiting for Di Jiao's next words.
Di Jiao was not in a hurry to explain, but turned around and ordered: "Go to the front to search, and if you find any traces of someone's presence, stand there and watch over them. Let's look at them one by one later and reveal the truth."
As soon as he gave an order, the disciples immediately got busy, and Ulala rushed into the front yard.
After a while, the disciples shouted, "There are here, and there are also here" from the half-burned wooden building in front.
Di Jiao smiled and tilted her head at Elder Helian, "Come on, let's go and have a look." '
Elder Helian couldn't wait a long time ago, followed Di Jiao and rushed into the small dangerous building.
Cang Linxue held Di Jiao's hand the whole time, and when Di Jiao flicked it, he whispered, 'Don't move your fetus'.That means, this building is dangerous, if it collapses, I will hold you, be careful of the child in your stomach.
Di Jiao also understood that Cang Linxue had no malicious intentions, but he was just awkward.Maybe it's a change of mood, or maybe it's because the two lives are getting older. Obviously, Cang Linxue just reproduced a small gesture that the two of them often did in the previous life, and Di Jiao actually felt a subtle shame.
However, when he reached the first 'trace', this emotion was instantly thrown behind him.The first little disciple was in the hall on the first floor, and he was guarding the shoe prints all over the floor.He also specially counted the number of people according to the different sizes of the feet, a total of eight people.
Afterwards, they went to the second little disciple. He was on the first floor leading to the corridor of the east courtyard. There was originally a shoe print there, but it was blurred for some reason.
The third and fourth little disciples were on the upper floor, each guarding the door of a similar bedroom.There are obvious shoe prints on the scorched floors of the two rooms, and there are signs of being turned over, but only one room’s floor has been lifted up, revealing a hidden compartment underneath. The hidden compartment is now empty. what.
At this time, another disciple in the East Chamber shouted, and everyone rushed over.I saw a group of young disciples back to back, waiting in full force, and even drew their swords.
"What's going on?" Elder Helian shouted.
A disciple replied: "Elder Zhi, a mountain of corpses was found here, and they were all done by burnt people!!"
It's no wonder that the little disciples are so defensive. When people come out, there are still a bunch of them. If they are all written by one person, then this person's cultivation level will be incredible.
Di Jiao and the others hurried forward. Half of the courtyard in the East Wing was occupied. They were all scorched and skinny, and the skins could still be left after being burned. The skin cannot be so complete.
Then the question arises again, who is it, and what kind of hatred do they have, who want to come to this Qin building, turn the whole building into human beings, pile them up here and burn them? !
Di Jiao looked around, except for the footprints stepped on by them, there was no trace left on the ground in the east chamber, that is to say, the group of people who came in after the Qin Tower caught fire had never been here. There are several possibilities for this.First, they knew that there was a pile of mummy here, so they deliberately avoided coming here; second, the circumstances were special at that time, and they didn't have time to wander here; there is another possibility that Di Jiao made an inference based on these traces and the clues of the whole incident ——
He said: "The well in the backyard has an independent water vein that directly connects to the Liujin River, and the opening is just below the river where the mummies appeared. This can explain why the mummies suddenly appeared downstream at that time. We thought it was Go upstream."
Elder Helian was startled, "Young master, what do you mean, those few people were killed here and then thrown into the well in the backyard?"
Di Jiao nodded, walked back silently, and everyone hurriedly followed.Di Jiao stopped at the entrance of the East Chamber, pointed to the traces on the ground, and said, "The traces here are very similar to what was left when someone discovered this pile of charred mummy, disposed of them and dragged them away."
Everyone looked at the traces on the ground along his fingers, and they looked more and more similar.
At this moment, Di Jiao pointed upstairs again, "It's the same in a few places over there. I knocked open the floor to take out the hidden things, and when I was found out, I had to silence it; when there was a dispute, it was best to eliminate dissidents to establish authority, and kill chickens to make an example of others. An immediate solution?"
When everyone heard what he said, it was as if they were enlightened.Elder Helian couldn't help clapping his hands even more, and said: "What you said is true, judging from these few traces, the number of people who were killed and the number of people who appeared on the river during the Jiang Festival are exactly the same. Those few people should have been killed here in the first place."
"Yes." Di Jiao glanced at the Qin Tower again, and said: "The cause and effect are probably the same. I will send someone to inquire around in a while, and see if anyone has been here in the past two days after the Qin Tower caught fire. We can identify the suspect."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements now. By the way, what are you going to do with those young masters?" Elder Helian admired Di Jiao very much at this time, and almost obeyed.
Di Jiao said: "After crossing into reincarnation, let's have a good burial."
Elder Helian took the order to deploy, and he walked away a few steps when Cang Linxue couldn't bear to give Di Jiao a strong hand.It was only at this time that Di Jiao noticed that his hand was still being held by this guy.
Di Jiao first glanced at the arm that was pulled up by him, and then looked up at him with questioning eyes, while Cang Linxue stared straight at him and said, "You can also check the riverside again."
Di Jiao thinks about it, it seems to be right.The fourth human body was formed suddenly on the bank of the river. It would be good to have a look again, maybe we can dig out some clues.
Seeing Di Jiao nodded, Cang Linxue seemed a little anxious, and didn't give Di Jiao a chance to resist, picked him up, put on the sword, and flew straight to the sparrow.
Until Que Lu flew into the sky again, Di Jiao could still be heard angrily admonishing Cang Linxue: "From now on, without my permission, you are forbidden to touch me! Especially in front of so many people, you are not allowed to hug me!" !"
Cang Linxue: "Well, good."
Di Jiao: "Hey! What are you doing?! You told me not to touch me! Get out of here!"
Cang Linxue: "I didn't want to touch you, I just listened to our unborn child."
"Can you show some face?!"
……
Although there were many changes on this day, it was the most important festival of the year after all, and there were people on the river bank one after another.
Therefore, Cang Linxue's flaming sparrow just appeared in the sky above the river bank, and was immediately spotted by the people on the bank. Many people pointed at the sparrow and shouted hello, and some jumped up and waved, throwing colored silk.
When Di Jiao saw Cang Linxue lift the curtain and waved at the people underground, she already guessed that this guy didn't come to the riverside to find any clues, he just wanted to show his face in front of the people.
Thinking about it carefully, Cang Linxue seemed to be doing the same thing in his last life. After he became the Pavilion Master, it seemed that this scene would happen in the Jiang Festival every year.At the beginning, Di Jiao also asked Cang Linxue why he made such an unnecessary move. Cang Linxue seemed to say that he had just taken over the position, and his foundation was not stable.If he doesn't win the support of the people in the city, it may be difficult for this person to sit firmly.
At that time, Di Jiao had no interest in these scheming matters, and only half understood what he heard.At this time, he could realize how hard it was for Cang Linxue to sit in the pavilion master's seat.It's just that time has passed and things are different now, even if you can understand it intellectually, it seems that it is difficult to cause any disturbance psychologically.
It turns out that love is really impulsive. If you encounter a certain opportunity, you are slapped in the face or poured with cold water. When you calm down and look back, it is easy to notice many details that were ignored before. That person has a whole new perception.
Cang Linxue noticed that Di Jiao had been looking sideways at her, and scratched her fingers unconsciously.As a result, the people on the shore noticed that Cang Pavilion Master suddenly lowered the curtain and raised it after a while, and the smile on his face was much brighter than before.Although they didn't know what happened, the people on the shore cheered more and more because of this smile.
In the sparrow, Di Jiao's lips were red and swollen, panting heavily, and tilted to one side.He was sure again that he was really blind in his previous life, why didn't he see that Cang Linxue was a big dude? !So angry!
Cang Linxue's sparrow circled around both sides of the river bank, and finally stopped on a secluded weeping willow embankment upstream.He went down first, then turned around and carefully opened the curtain for Di Jiao.At this time, it was getting late, and Cang Linxue was worried that Di Jiao would not be able to see clearly, so she snapped her fingers, and a flame ignited on her thumb, which replaced the lantern to illuminate him.
After Di Jiao came down, Cang Linxue went back again, and after a while, he came down with a black wooden box in his arms.Di Jiao was curious and asked him what it was, but he didn't say anything.
Standing on the embankment, Di Jiao looked at the Liujin River with white waves rolling in front of him, and remembered that He Xiaofeng had brought several of his disciples here in his previous life.
That year Di Jiao was five years old, and after she succeeded in drawing a dragon for the first time, she acted like a baby to her master and asked her to accompany him on a night tour of the river, so He Xiaofeng brought his four apprentices here.
Di Jiao still remembers that time when she was mischievous and fell into the river. The three senior brothers all jumped down to save him. After jumping, she realized that Di Jiao was very good at water and there was nothing wrong with it.Instead, Cang Linxue, who practiced the way of fire, was rescued by the three of them together like a landlubber after falling into the water.
Thinking of Cang Linxue's embarrassment back then, Di Jiao couldn't help laughing.Cang Linxue was squatting behind him, fiddling with the box, when she heard the laughter, she raised her head and asked him.
Di Jiao turned her head, wondering if the sky was dark, Di Jiao felt that Cang Linxue's eyes looking over at this moment were extraordinarily gentle, so she didn't say the teasing words that had come to her lips for some reason, but instead said, "I want to eat zongzi '.
After he finished speaking, he wanted to bite off his tongue. What kind of evil thoughts did he have about Zongzi? No matter how he heard his tone, he sounded like a spoiled child.
Di Jiao: I was just immersed in the memory and didn't wake up. I accidentally brought out the tone of my own words in the memory. I was only five years old at the time. What's wrong with acting like a baby? How normal is it!
However, Cang Linxue's eyes became softer after hearing this.He lowered his head, took out something from the box, squatted down and handed it over, "Here you are."
"Ah?" Di Jiao opened her eyes wide in surprise, looking at the zongzi that was deformed by Cang Linxue, and said in disgust, "Isn't this zongzi wrapped too ugly? Who made it?" ? Could it be Chennai?"
Cang Linxue: "..."
Di Jiao took a bite, and when Cang Linxue sighed, Fu Ling suddenly came to her senses, and said in surprise, "You couldn't have made this, did you?" The zongzi filled with sweet-scented osmanthus, although a little ugly in appearance, tastes absolutely top-notch.Therefore, Di Jiao chewed and took another bite.
"En." Cang Linxue seemed to have no confidence, and responded very softly.He stood up with the empty box in his arms, and it was only then that Di Jiao saw clearly that there was a neat row of food on the embankment, and there were river lanterns made of red dates.
"You did all of these?" Di Jiao didn't know Cang Linxue, and couldn't imagine that his aloof senior brother would have the patience to do these things one day.
Cang Linxue didn't even say yes this time, so she nodded and added, 'I didn't do it well. '
Di Jiao knelt down and took a closer look at the offerings made by Cang Linxue. They were all crude and sloppy in appearance, and the lanterns for offering sacrifices to the river were also a little distorted. I care about it. I don’t know how to make zongzi yet, and they fall apart as soon as I make them, alas!”
"I'll teach you?" Cang Linxue's eyes suddenly brightened again, anticipation was like stars, and it was so bright that it almost made Hua Dijiao's eyes shine.
Di Jiao was too embarrassed to refuse, she just said: "That's fine too. I want to make sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing."
"You like to eat, and there are plenty at home." When Cang Linxue said this, her eyes softened again.
Di Jiao turned her face away, and only asked: "What are you doing with these things?"
"Sacrifice."
After Cang Linxue finished speaking, she didn't allow Di Jiao to resist, took his hand, faced the rolling Liujin River, bowed three times, and said softly: "Immortal Master, Immortal Ancestor, Erxue and Jiao, who know Zu En well, weep Mingji, may the heroic spirit rest in peace and enter reincarnation soon."
After saluting, he and Di Jiao threw the offerings into the river one by one. Under the surface of the water they couldn't see, several red river carps gathered, picked up the offerings one by one, and swam downstream .
Cang Linxue picked up the last river lantern and handed it to Di Jiao, who lit the fire again, lighting the white candle in the middle of the red dates, and then said to Di Jiao: "Ajiao, the lantern can be Send a message from your heart, you can store the thoughts of your parents in this lamp." After he finished speaking, he stood up and took a few steps back until Di Jiao put the lamp into the river before coming over.
Di Jiao was pulled up by him, and the two walked towards Que Tuo hand in hand, Di Jiao didn't speak all the way, until he returned to Lingxiao Golden Roof Hall, before entering the main courtyard, Di Jiao turned around and said something to Cang Linxue ,' Today, thank you. '
Cang Linxue smiled and said nothing, but suddenly leaned forward, taking advantage of Di Jiao's daze, and planted a kiss on his forehead.Then, Cang Linxue smiled lightly and quickly left, returning to the study.
Di Jiao rubbed her forehead, staring at Cang Linxue's back in a daze, but didn't realize that her face was getting redder and redder at this moment.
Cang Linxue hid behind the crack of the study door, seeing Di Jiao was still looking at her, she didn't even mention the joy in her heart.
Di Jiao returned to the master bedroom in a daze, Cang Chennai and Cang Xuancan on the big bed were like two curled up little shrimps, already snoring from sleep.
After Di Jiao washed up, she lay down next to the two little guys. She clearly felt that she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it.Probably this day was really too tiring, Di Jiao actually fell asleep in a daze.
At dawn, Di Jiao remembered what she had forgotten last night - he didn't go to interrogate the second son of the Xiao family? !
Di Jiao thought while dressing, she said that the vixen made a mistake, it was true!Although Cang Linxue is a male vixen, his ability to seduce people is absolutely top-notch! !
