Chapter 342: Tsing Yi Reappears(1/2)
Everyone had a happy dinner. After dinner, Yin Lanci and Lu Xueer were strolling to eat, they went to the villa to see what happened to the Four Saints of the West Sea.
Hongying Village was still a little cold at night because of the heavy humidity. After all, the old men were old. Yin Lanci had someone prepare a warm stove for them, and the supper was quite rich. In short, they treated each other with courtesy.
The four of them had no temper at this moment, but they just felt a little confused. Who set up such a big situation to harm them?
Seeing Yin Lanci coming, Xiao Changqing sat on the stone board in the yard, stared at her for a while, and suddenly asked, "Do you look like your mother?"
Yin Lanci was slightly stunned and shook her head, "No, my mother looks very similar to Zhaoer."
"Oh..." Xiao Changqing nodded and said, "Uh... Is Lingtang still alive?"
Yin Lanci shook her head, "I have passed away for many years."
Xiao Changqing was a little surprised and seemed to want to ask something, but hesitated.
Yin Lanci simply sat by the table and drank tea. Lu Xueer walked out and said she would find a girl to change a thicker quilt for the elderly.
"Old man, you can ask whatever you want," said Yin Lanci.
"Your father, have you ever told you about your junior sister?" Xiao Changqing asked.
Yin Lanci shook her head, "No, I heard about it later."
Xiao Changqing sighed, "He may have forgotten her a long time ago, right?"
"Impossible, my father has the best memory." Yin Lanci held his chin, "but he has never liked to talk, and he never talked about past things."
Xiao Changqing nodded, "He is quite indifferent..."
"He is not cold." Yin Lanci shook his head, "If he is cold, he would not keep all my mother's things and would always miss them."
Xiao Changqing was a little surprised, "Your mother is a famous lady, right? Yin Hou seems to have a high-minded attitude."
Yin Lanci was amused, "It's not... the most ordinary woman, with a cheerful personality, very similar to Zhao Zhao, she is lively and happy, and she is very good at thinking about others."
"Happy..." Xiao Changqing suddenly wanted to laugh, "I always feel that this word has nothing to do with Yin Hou."
Yin Lanci looked at Xiao Changqing and said, "You guys are old, do you know the Silver Demon King?"
Xiao Changqing nodded, "Of course I know."
"The Silver Demon King has always been accurate, but at one point, something went wrong." Yin Lanci smiled, "It's my grandmother."
Xiao Changqing was stunned, "What's wrong?"
"The Demon King once predicted his fate, one was my father and the other was the Heavenly Lord. Both of them had disasters, one was disliked by thousands of people, and the other was lonely for a hundred years. The Demon King predicted that my father would never love him in his life, and most people who like him would not have a good ending." Yin Lanci said.
Xiao Changqing was surprised, "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes." Yin Lanci nodded, "I have never seen Ye Yuxin back then. I only heard that she was infatuated with my father... But my father should not like her. My father is a very simple person. He likes him and doesn't like him. He doesn't like him if he likes him or not. He doesn't like to play ambiguous things at worst. At worst, he avoids and stops interacting with him. However, Ye Yuxin's death may make him feel that he just met the prophecy of the Silver Demon King. Those who fall in love with him will not end up well. That's why he feels that he owe something to Ye Yuxin. He has always abide by her last words for so many years."
Xiao Changqing was stunned, "He actually has this fate..."
"Until he met my mother later." Yin Lanci said slowly while drinking tea, "At first, my father refused to accept it, and hid in the mountains and fields. My mother chased me all over the mountains. Master Wusha and others said that my father was eager to advise my mother that there would be no good ending, and the age difference was too big, so she asked her to find someone else to marry and not kill herself. But my mother didn't listen! Later, my mother fell off the cliff. My father thought he killed another one, so he went to the valley to search for it. After searching for it for a long time, he thought the body was taken away by a wild wolf. But unexpectedly, my mother climbed up the mountain and said, "Look! The demon king is not accurate!", I can't kill anyone! We can't kill anyone! I will help you change your fate, have children and have old age, and go to his grave to laugh at him."
Xiao Changqing opened his mouth wide.
"My mother seems to have strong vitality. She survived the disaster several times. She has been with my father for a long time, changed his fate and his personality and life. The Demon Palace has changed from a demon cave where everyone accepts his fate and feels that there will be no good ending. "Yin Lanci said, "The prophecy of the Demon King has not been realized. Not only are my father loved him, but he has loved him deeply for many years. In addition, my mother died and did not suffer any pain when she died.
, It's not a bad end. Before she died, she told my father that when she meets someone you like, you must not run away. I'll go down to help you strangle the demon king to death... From then on, the curse that my father dislikes seemed to be lifted. Zhao'er and I grew up safely, especially after Zhao'er was born, we had a good relationship with his grandfather. The Demon Palace has been very smooth over the years, and even the Heavenly Lord, Master Wusha and others have often come and gone, happily."
Xiao Changqing was distracted when he heard this. It turned out that there were so many things they didn't know about.
In the door, the other three brothers from the Four Saints of the Four Seas did not speak and sat and listened.
"But there is one thing I can assure you." Yin Lanci smiled slightly and said to the four old men who looked at him, "My father has only loved my mother, one woman in his life, just like you only love Ye Yuxin one!"
At this time, several Kongming lanterns rose in the sky, and the square sky lanterns were bright, flying out of the Hongying Village and floating towards the starry sky.
Yin Lanci looked down the mountain and saw that the soldiers in the military camp were all setting up sky lanterns, and the yard not far away was also putting them. It was probably Zhan Zhao and the others.
"So that's it... did your mother die for Mr. Yin?" Xiao Changqing asked.
Yin Lanci turned around, looked at him, and then shook her head, "My mother didn't die for my father, she lived for my father."
Xiao Changqing was puzzled.
"When I was very young, my mother told me that if I really love someone, don't die for him or not, he will be very sad. If you want to live for him and live well, you must live well so that he will be happy. No matter who unfortunately dies first, make sure that the remaining one is left, and you will laugh happily for a long time when you think of you."
Xiao Changqing was stunned.
At this time, Lu Xueer called Yin Lanci, holding several unlit sky lanterns in her hand. "After taking a bath, Xiao Sizi said she wanted to put the sky lanterns, but she didn't expect that the entire military camp started to help him do it. It was so fun to do it."
Yin Lanci stood up and took a few sky lanterns to Xiao Changqing and the others, "You can let it go too, make a wish or something." After that, he went back to the front yard with Lu Xueer.
Xiao Changqing sat at the table in a daze, watching the sky lanterns floating further and further away from the sky.
At this time, I felt someone pulling his clothes.
Xiao Changqing lowered his head and saw Xiaoyu coming out of the room at some point. He pulled his clothes and asked, "Grandpa, can we also place the sky lanterns?"
Xiao Changqing was stunned for a moment and nodded quickly, "Okay." While saying that, he greeted the three brothers in the room and the four old men were busy, helping Xiaoyudou sky lanterns.
...
Yin Lanci and Lu Xueer returned to the yard and saw everyone there, all wearing bathrobes. The most fun thing was Lord Bao, who was wearing a black bathrobe, and they were almost invisible when they merged into the darkness.
In order to ensure that everyone would not bump into him when they were busy, Master Pang put a white scarf on his shoulder and looked from a distance, as if the scarf was floating in the air.
Mrs. Bao covered her mouth with one hand, and she seemed to be very hard to bear with a smile.
After spending time together, everyone found that Mrs. Bao was not only a lady from the family, but was actually quite naughty and loved to laugh, especially for things related to Mr. Bao, she would endure it very hard.
Everyone wrote blessing words or wishes on the lampshade of the sky lantern, and lit the lamp to the sky.
Zhan Zhao drew a mouse on the sky lantern, and another cat with a mouse. He drew several dishes of his favorite dishes. He drew a cat with a "king" on his head, and said "Xiao Wu" next to it. In addition, Zhan Zhao also wrote a lot of names with his grandfather, parents, many demons in the Demon Palace, Tianzun, Lu Tianhan and others. In the end, he couldn't write it down, so he snatched Bai Yutang's name. The two worked together to write all the names, and finally wrote auspicious words such as praying for good health, peace and joy, and put them in the sky with full heart.
...
The next morning, everyone who had a dream had woken up early and did their own business.
Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Gongsun, Zhao Pu, Zou Liang, Lin Yehuo and Ye Xing, seven of them went into battle lightly and rushed to Yingtian Prefecture.
This time I have something to do, so I suggest going and returning quickly.
Leaving Hongying Village, rushing to the road. When they arrived near Yingtian Mansion, Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Ye Xing went to the direction of the city gate together, while the other four turned to the countryside to investigate the Shanshan Tea House.
Zhan Zhao and others first went to Yingtian Prefecture's yamen, took Yi Xian's letter and found a constable.
The detective was named Wang Kai, who was Yi Xian's right-hand man. He was around forty years old and looked heroic. Zhan Zhao knew him, and Wang Kai was also one of the famous detectives. He was good at using a short stick and was very generous.
Wang Kai finished reading Yi Xian’s letter, “Oh…Shan Yiren.”
Zhan Zhao nodded.
Wang Kai touched his chin, "Do you guys want to go to his house to investigate directly, or do you want to make an undercover investigation first?"
"It's better to have an undercover investigation first." Zhan Zhao replied.
Wang Kai found a yamen runner who was familiar with the terrain to inquire.
The yamen runner lived on the street not far from Shan Yiren's mansion.
"Oh... this Shan Man Wai." The yamen runner was helpless. "He rarely went out. The doors of the Shan family were closed all year round, and occasionally they would come out to buy some things in person."
"Is there any way to see that official?" Ye Xing asked.
"That..." The yamen runner thought for a while, "Well, Mr. Dan sometimes goes to the pharmacy."
"Pharmaceutical shop?" Everyone was surprised.
"Not." said the yamen runner, "so the neighbors around us think that someone in Shan Yuanwai's family is sick, and that person should be quite important, otherwise they would not have come out to buy medicine by themselves, do you think so?"
Zhan Zhao and others were not sure about the mystery, but it was a clue.
"Can you find out what medicine he bought?" Bai Yutang asked.
The yamen runner thought for a while, "Well, one of the pharmacies has a nephew in me, so I guess he can get a list."
"That's a blessing." Zhan Zhao thanked.
"No, I'll do it now." The yamen run away. Before he could wait for too long, he came back with a list.
"So fast?" Everyone was surprised.
"My nephew is not on duty today and is at home. When I asked him, he said he didn't have to go back to the store to check the accounts, and just wrote it to me." The yamen runner handed the paper to Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao and others looked down and saw that there were eight herbs on the paper, and they were strange and strange. Everyone looked at each other. It was not a commonly used medicinal herb. It seemed that it was necessary to show it to Gongsun.
Bai Yutang asked the yamen runner curiously, "Your nephew has a good memory? You can remember this."
The yamen runner said, "I wondered so I asked him. He said that Mr. Dan always went to buy these medicines, but it didn't change. It's been more than a year since he was there, not to mention that the person standing at the counter was a pig, but he knew what herbs he bought. Because of this, many people guessed that his family was sick and took these medicines regularly. But, they had asked the doctor to see them. After watching them for a long time, they couldn't see what medicine they could make up for when these herbs were made."
Zhan Zhao carefully put away the prescription and prepared to ask Gongsun for a while.
"Then let's go for a walk near the pharmacy?" Ye Xing asked. "If I really can't touch it, I have to wait for the rabbit in the restaurant near his house."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt that this was the only way to understand this person. By the way, I would like to think about how to get a deeper understanding of this person.
The three of them, together with Wang Kai, left the government office and rushed to the vicinity of Shan Yiren's mansion.
To everyone's expectations, Shan Yiren did not live in any remote location, but was a very lively and bustling area. There were many shops and restaurants around him, and there were people coming and going.
Wang Kai pointed to a large mansion not far ahead, "That's the house."
