Duan Yu entered the mountain gate and stood in the square, but he still didn't see a living person. He felt anxious and uneasy, and immediately called out "Daddy" with his breath.
At the same time, he kept walking and gradually approached the Heavenly King's Palace.
When His Highness the Heavenly King arrived, he was considering whether to go in and take a look when his expression suddenly froze, and he seemed to hear the faint and noisy sound of people in his ears.
Before I could carefully identify the source of the sound, another voice sounded: "Is it Yu'er?"
This time Duan Yu understood clearly that the voice was coming from behind the Heavenly King's Palace. He was overjoyed and hurriedly spread his legs and walked around the Heavenly King's Palace.
Behind the Tianwang Hall are the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower on the left and right respectively, which are called morning bells and evening drums.
However, Duan Yu had no problem seeing that the Tianlong Courtyard of the Duan Family Temple was also arranged in this way. Now he only cared about the large group of people outside the Main Hall.
…
Li Jiang had already guessed what happened to Xiao Lin, so he was not in a hurry. Instead, he slowed down and looked around.
Xiao Feng asked suspiciously: "Second brother, what are you doing?"
Li Jiang turned around and walked towards the Zizhu Garden on the right. As he walked, he said, "Brother, did you hear someone calling Fourth Brother just now?"
Xiao Feng nodded sadly. Even if he turned to ashes, he would never forget this voice. Duan Zhengchun! A'Zhu's father, the person who indirectly caused A'Zhu's death.
Seeing his silence, Li Jiang knew that he had accidentally made him sad again, so he could only say vaguely: "Let him and his son talk first, and we will meet later."
Xiao Feng said "Okay" and stopped talking.
In fact, Xiao Feng didn't want to see Duan Zhengchun, because when he saw Duan Zhengchun, he could think of that stormy night, when A'Zhu pretended that he fell into his arms.
After entering the bamboo forest, the group became even more silent, except for the occasional cheerful voice of Ah Zi.
When he was about to leave the bamboo forest, Li Jiang suddenly stretched out two fingers and cut off two bamboo poles as thick as his thumbs.
After rectifying it, he handed one to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng was still immersed in sadness and couldn't react for a moment, so he asked: "Second brother, why is this?"
Li Jiang shook the bamboo pole and said with a smile: "It is a quiet place in Buddhism and it is not easy to kill people with blood. It is better to use this."
Xiao Feng wondered: "Why do we have to kill so much blood? Just because I am a Khitan?"
Li Jiang smiled mysteriously and said: "It's not entirely because of this. When we were in Luoyang, didn't you ask me why I came to participate in the Xiaolin Conference? The answer is here. Xiaolin will definitely yell at you to beat you and kill you."
Xiao Feng frowned and thought for a moment, then sighed: "They still think I killed the master..."
"It wasn't you, there was someone else who killed your master." Li Jiang shook his head.
The two of them had always avoided this issue when they got along before. Xiao Feng didn't want to mention these inexplicable things, and Li Jiang was ready to hide the cards and open them up. Now they finally talked about the mysterious person, and Xiao Feng seemed to know what Li Jiang meant.
So he got excited, grabbed Li Jiang's arm, and asked: "Second brother, do you know who that person is?"
Li Jiang nodded and reassured: "Brother, don't worry, you will know soon."
"Is it Xuanci?" Xiao Feng asked.
Regarding the issue of Xuanci, Xiao Feng had already thought about it. With the identity and prestige of Abbot Xiaolin of Xuanci, it was possible for him to take the lead in intercepting and killing his father thirty years ago. If this inference was true, then he would have killed and silenced his father.
It makes sense to find out the truth for yourself.
Unexpectedly, Li Jiang shook his head and said: "No. But he can't escape the involvement. The situation here is complicated and cannot be explained in a few words."
"Just a little bit, if you don't know, you don't know. The smelly Taoist priests just know how to make nonsense!" Ah Zi, who had been standing nearby for a while, said sarcastically.
Li Jiang smiled and ignored her, and said to Xiao Feng: "Let's go, brother, let's go find the truth."
Xiao Feng looked solemn and took the lead.
As soon as they moved, others quickly followed.
However, there was a proud peacock who was so angry at Li Jiang's attitude. She pulled out a scimitar and chopped the bamboo fiercely, and roared angrily: "I'll kill you, I'll kill you...
"
Good sister Wang Yuyan was at a loss next to her and tried her best to persuade her: "Sister Azi, please calm down, my cousin may not have heard what you said."
"Bah, the smelly Taoist priest's ears are sharper than a dog's. How can he not hear? If it weren't for...if I couldn't beat him, I would definitely kill him!"
After cutting down a few bamboos, Ah Zi was still angry, so she rushed out of the roadbed and went deep into the forest to chop heavily.
…
When everyone passed by the bell tower and entered the square in front of the Main Hall, they immediately saw a vivid picture.
Xiaolin monks and other martial arts people gathered around three floors inside and three floors outside, raising their arms and shouting in the circle.
Duan Zhengchun and several old monks stood outside the crowd. Duan Yu was dancing and saying something with his back toward the bell tower.
After Li Jiang and others appeared, they immediately alerted Duan Zhengchun and others, and they all looked up together.
When Duan Yu saw his father and several monks looking behind him, he also turned to look.
His eyesight was much better than those of those others, and he immediately recognized the person, so he jumped up excitedly and waved, "Big brother, second brother, come quickly."
Hearing Duan Yu's call, Li Jiang did not move, but looked at Xiao Feng.
Before Xiao Feng could say anything, Ah Zi, who had sharp eyes, walked up to him and hid behind him and whispered: "Brother-in-law, don't go there."
Xiao Feng was in a state of turmoil in his heart. He looked at Duan Zhengchun's appearance and felt his nose was sore. He never thought that Ah Zi's words would bring him back to reality and make him pay attention to a woman beside Duan Zhengchun.
Ruan Xingzhu, the mother of A'Zhu and A'Zi.
Seeing her, the sadness in Xiao Feng's heart was somewhat diluted. He pulled Ah Zi over and said, "Your parents are here, where can you hide?"
After saying that, he took Ah Zi and walked towards Duan Zhengchun.
"I won't go, I don't have parents like this!" AhZi tried to break Xiao Feng's big hand while trying to break her temper. But Xiao Feng's five fingers were as if they were made of iron, and there was no way she could break them open.
Li Jiang shook his head and said to the people behind him: "Let's go, let's go there too."
As the distance got closer, several people on the opposite side also recognized Li Jiang and his party.
The faces of the old monks in Xiaolin were tense, and they showed a faint look of alertness.
Duan Zhengchun and Ruan Xingzhu looked excited and hurried over to greet them.
Ruan Xingzhu opened his hands and shouted sadly: "Azi, my daughter, I finally found you!"
Soon the two waves of people caught up with each other, and Ruan Xingzhu hugged Ah Zi and cried.
Duan Yu, who was following behind, couldn't help but wonder: "How come Azi is Aunt Ruan's daughter? Aunt Ruan is my father's..."
Well!
Duan Yu had always known that his father was merciful when he was young. For this reason, his mother ran away from home and became a Taoist nun. So in a flash of thought, he immediately guessed the key.
But they were hiding from each other! He could only turn a blind eye and took two steps forward to introduce: "Eldest brother, second brother, this is my father."
Xiao Feng was magnanimous and stepped forward to greet him.
Li Jiang also clasped his fists and bowed, calling out: "Hello, uncle."
Duan Zhengchun looked at Xiao Feng, his lips moved but he stopped talking. After a long time, he sighed and turned to Li Jiang again.
In his eyes, he was a Taoist who was calm, calm and as airy as an immortal.
The Duan family has believed in Buddhism for generations, but this did not prevent Duan Zhengchun from appreciating Taoism as a Taoist master, so he happily asked: "Which Taoist sect are you a true immortal?"
"The Blessed Immortal Lord, my uncle's claim to be a true immortal is ridiculous. I am a Taoist from the poor Taoist sect." Li Jiang clasped his hands, bowed, and replied solemnly.
