When Yun Zhuo turned to the courtyard of Jiu Miao's disciple's house again, he saw that the scenery around the house, which he hadn't seen for more than a month, was completely different from before.

Maybe it's because the first disciple of Jiumiao who was able to sweep the courtyard is no longer alive. Most of the vibrant flowers and plants in the past are now withered grass and rotten wood. The neat furnishings are also unsightly and messy. , very few.

I have been here twice, and the time is not far apart, but it really is the difference between life and death, things change and people change.

He sighed, and took two steps back, when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the front yard.

"Get out of the way, today the young master will act for the heavens!"

In front of the gate of the disciple's room, Jiang Weizheng and a group of gangsters with three or five attendants blocked the water, and the few Jiu Miao disciples in front of the door were pointed at their noses and taught, their faces were embarrassed, and they bowed their heads in silence.

This disciple of Zhanlu, who had gained power, seemed to be able to straighten his nostrils to the sky at this moment, and he gestured with his sword: "Situ Lin is vicious and jealous, stealing the token of return first, and planning to murder Liche later! Why don't you open the door and let me arrest this villain?!"

The little disciple guarding the door faltered: "Jiang, Mr. Jiang, our sect master has said that without his order, no one can deal with Brother Situ."

Jiang Wei raised his head and snorted coldly: "Hmph, can't we do without his order? Now that the evidence of Situ Lin's murder of Li Che is solid, can't I kill him first and then act? Get out of the way!"

The younger brother still shook his head: "No, I can't let it go without the master's order."

"Stubborn! You won't let me?!"

Jiang Wei raised his sword, turned his wrist, put it directly on the young disciple's neck, and said angrily: "What about this time?!

The little disciple was so frightened that he shivered, but he still gritted his teeth and leaned against the door of the house, not giving way.

"What are you doing?! Stop!"

Seeing that this person was bullying the weak and fearing the strong again, Yun Zhuo's heart surged with new hatred and old hatred. He took two steps forward and held the man's arm, and said sharply: "In broad daylight, you threaten his disciples in the Jiumiao land. Are there any rules here?!"

"Yo, who am I?"

Glancing at Yun Zhuo who came out from the back of the house, Jiang Wei sneered, put away his sword nonchalantly, and squinted his eyes to look at him: "So, it's the little brother of the sinner Situ Lin! What? Did this guy fight me?"

Not to be outdone, Yun Zhuo looked back at the past: "Bah! You have evidence that Brother Lin murdered Brother Li!"

"How not?"

Jiang Wei brushed the dust off his sleeves, and smiled so much that he could lift his cheeks: "Only your brother Lin, who has both motivation and time, immediately insisted that Li Che was dead after something happened... oh, If that’s not enough, let’s add that letter and my testimony and see how he clears it up!”

"You! Brother Lin was with us all the time during the few days of eliminating demons. You slandered others with irresponsible words. Could it be that you didn't have enough suffering at the Lingyun Conference?!"

The more he talked, the more angry, Yun Zhuo pulled out Wu Qi, and blocked the sword in the man's hand: "Brother Lin knew that Brother Li was dead, because he was the first to rush in after the accident and use ghost pupils to investigate. Now even the lost token How can you say that he is the traitor who stole the token and murdered Brother Li with just one letter!"

"Oh, Mr. Yun said it well!"

Seeing that the sword was blocked, Jiang Wei was not in a hurry, and still smiled: "It's a pity, so what if I slander? Isn't what you said just now is a one-sided statement without any evidence? Just relying on your personal relationship with Situ Lin, you and Situ Lin are together. You can’t find a third witness this time, do you guess whether others believed you or me?”

Yun Zhuo stared angrily, but said nothing.

Jiang Wei smiled, stretched out his hand again, and stopped his sword with a smile: "However, if you want to hit me, I don't have any objections. It's just that the matter of hitting me is small, how can I spread the word at that time? It’s hard to say.”

He paused, and then said: "Think about it, 'The third young master of the Yun family beat up witnesses in order to protect the sinner Situ Lin', tsk tsk tsk..."

"shut up!"

The knuckles holding Jiang Wei's collar turned white, Yun Zhuo gritted his teeth and glared for a moment, but finally he could only let go.

He stared at disciple Zhanlu who was straightening his collar unhurriedly in front of him, put his sword back into its sheath, and raised his eyebrows: "Get lost!"

"Hey, get out, get out."

Being let go, Jiang Wei casually flicked the ashes on his sleeves, seeing that there was nothing to gain here, so he turned around brazenly and wanted to leave.

But just after taking a few steps, he did not forget to turn his head and say: "Sirius Lord, Sirius Sir, listen to me, people's words are terrifying. Anyway, Situ Lin has become the target of public criticism this time, what can you do alone? It's better to get out as soon as possible..."

"Are you going to go or not!"

When Yun Zhuo raised his hand, half of Wuqi's sword blade shone coldly.

"Yeah, young master, I have good intentions. Come on, young master Yun, let's wait and see!"

Jiang Weixin spat unwillingly, and finally raised her hand, signaling her disciples to avoid it temporarily.

Yun Zhuo snorted coldly, but didn't bother to look at that domineering figure again.Looking back, Fang thought about the business, hurriedly grabbed the little disciple Jiu Miao at the door and asked, "Little brother, how is brother Lin?"

"Master Huiyun, this, I don't know about this."

The little disciple who still had lingering fears was asked this question, and shook his head in embarrassment: "Brother Situ saw that letter, and he was dumbfounded and didn't say a word. He locked himself in this disciple's room a few days ago, No one can complain. What's more, apart from drinking, he didn't even touch the food delivered..."

Yun Zhuo was shocked: "What did you say? Use wine to drown your sorrows? The meal has not been touched?"

The little disciple nodded.

He hurriedly asked again: "How many days?"

The little disciple said: "There are more than three days."

He flicked his sleeve robe, feeling even more anxious: "This person is going to die? Then what does the letter say..."

The little disciple shook his head, meaning he didn't know.

"This this."

In a hurry, Yun Zhuo looked around, thinking that the situation of the people in the house was uncertain, and finally saw a wooden window pasted with paper at the back of the house.

Thinking of his "unique knowledge" of climbing over walls and drilling windows, he had no choice but to grit his teeth: "I'll find a way to go in and see him."

After saying that, he walked to the wooden window in two or three steps, and stretched out his hand to push one of them away. The light in the room as far as his eyes could see was dim, and the strong smell of alcohol was very obvious, but there was no sign of Situ Lin at all.The only things that can still be seen clearly are the messy papers spread all over the floor and the broken and overturned coarse porcelain wine jars.

"Brother Rin?"

Seeing this scene, Yun Zhuo panicked, jumped with both feet, curled up and turned into the room, but when he landed, he was almost tripped over by the rolled rice paper on the ground.After stumbling around in the dark for a long time, it can be regarded as finding a table, looking for candles one by one, and seeing everything in the room clearly.

There was only one of the two bamboo beds that were originally placed in the corner, and there were shreds of paper written all over the bed and under the bed.

——Some of the papers were wet with wine and could not be discerned, while others could be recognized. The three characters "Gui Li Tan" were clearly visible. It was probably exactly what Situ Lin wrote with great painstaking efforts when he was investigating, but in the end It was therefore cast aside.

And on the table he groped for just now, except for a few jars of residual wine and under the thick porcelain jar, there was a yellowed letter pressed down.

However, I don't know whether it was because it had been in the hands of many people, or because Situ Lin pinched it after the incident and his emotions were surging, the paper of the letter was crumpled extremely.The only luck is that the eight characters written on it are still clear.

——Mr. Bai Ze is in trouble, so he returns to Litan.

Is this the letter that makes brother Lin feel stigmatized and disturbed?

Yun Zhuo was suspicious, and quickly looked at it carefully, but when he raised his eyes again, he shook his head severely.

—— Situ Lin is a bohemian man, and his handwriting is also elegant and elegant, and this letter is written in small letters with hairpin flowers, which looks a bit delicate when you look closely, and it is clearly more like it was written by a famous woman. Can't imitate.

What murderous evidence, this is clearly Jiang Wei's false accusation!

Thinking about this, his heart suddenly became angry, and he turned around to make another plan, but he heard a rustling sound.

However, he saw the "mountain of paper" by the bed fell in a mess, and a crimson figure was exposed in it, stretching out his hand and waving the paper in two or three times, flying all over the sky.

A hoarse voice roared from behind: "Who, who let you in! Get out of here! Get out!"

"Brother Rin?!"

Realizing who the voice was coming from, Yun Zhuo hurried forward and opened the papers, the strong smell of alcohol and the musty smell from the damp paper came over his face.

Ignoring these, he pulled up the man who was lying on his back below: "You, how much wine have you drank?!"

"Yun, Zhuo?"

Being pulled and dragged, the person half straightened up saw the person coming, finally raised his head with squinted eyes, and the dim candlelight shone on him, which made Yun Zhuo's heart stagnate.

He had never seen Situ Lin like this.

The Situ Lin in my impression will always be the high-spirited boy in purple clothes, and will always be the little brother who stands in front of him with confidence.No matter in the Zizhu Forest or at the Lingyun Meeting, no matter in the face of the hooked snake giant monster or the evil ghost, he can always wave his fan casually, lightly swaying the sword, and save everything from danger.Even if he did something absurd that made everyone in the world unbelievable, and was ridiculed by people who didn't understand, to that person, he could still smile unruly and frivolously while caressing Ping Ping.

But now?

The body that has not eaten for a few days is so light that it seems to collapse at the touch, the bloodshot eyes are more bloodshot than it was a month ago, the brows are full of haggard tiredness, the drunken redness has long since faded, leaving a faint mark, but it is pale His face looked even more shocking.

After a moment of silence, he finally raised a pair of lost red eyes, and looked at Yun Zhuo with a wry smile: "It's you, what are you doing now? Are you here to tell me that someone outside is going to arrest me and deal with it right away? "

"I……"

Looking at the person in front of him, Yun Zhuo felt a tightness and pain in his chest, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold the person's shoulder: "Brother Lin, the letter did not come from you, and you are not the murderer who killed Brother Li, Jiang Wei just spouted nonsense. You are dirty, why don't you argue?"

Every word fell into my ears, and Situ Lin gave a wry smile: "Arguing? No..."

He lowered his head slowly: "Oh, what are you arguing about? I am the sinner who killed my brother."

Thinking that he was still regretting himself, Yun Zhuo anxiously shook his head: "Brother Lin, are you still guilty of not being able to detect ghost energy in time? Actually, I also..."

"No, not just that."

Situ Lin twitched the corners of his mouth in dismay: "It wasn't until they took out the letter from my senior brother's belongings that I remembered that senior brother came to ask me if I wanted to go with him in the early morning of the morning before he left."

When Yun Zhuo heard the words, he didn't react for a while, and after chewing the words repeatedly, he suddenly turned pale with shock.

After a long time, he tried again: "Then you..."

"Then why didn't I go?"

Anticipating his unspoken words, Situ Lin raised his head mechanically, and looked at the window that had just been pushed open. The half-bright light and shadow cast on his face made Yun Zhuo unable to distinguish his expression for a moment.

He murmured: "I also want to ask myself, why did I have to sleep until the sun was high at that time, but then I said confidently, 'I was with you that time when you were exorcising the demon, what can happen this time? Have you put this matter behind you?"

Seeing people complaining about themselves, Yun Zhuo didn't know how to comfort him: "But, you didn't steal that token after all."

"So what."

Gradually immersed in emotions and unable to extricate himself, he shook his head again and said: "Jiang Wei did not make a mistake. After two chances, I still couldn't get it back. Even if the person who stole the token was not me, he was also the sinner who killed senior brother." Is it?"

After a moment of silence, Situ Lin sighed, and thought of something, he said to himself: "Maybe, maybe Daoist Qingluo scolded me well at that time, Yu Jiumiao, I am a careless disciple, and Senior Brother Yu is even more incompetent... ..."

"No, it's not like that!"

The person in front of him was depressed, deeply remorseful and unable to extricate himself, Yun Zhuo gritted his teeth, and could only wrap his arms around his shoulders like the day before returning to Litan.

After many days of ignorance, the man's shoulders were so thin that they were covered with a thin layer of flesh, and he could even touch the sharp blades.

He felt a pain in his heart, and said with a pause: "Thousands of mistakes, all mistakes are the fault of the person who stole the token, don't underestimate yourself."

As the words came to his ears, Situ Lin's eyes seemed to move, but he didn't make another sound. He remained silent for a while, and finally looked out the window.

At that time, it was almost dusk. Today, the clouds are cloudy and the sun is not enough. The setting sun is like blood, and it is scattered into the room, which is very gloomy.

"These days, I always have a dream."

After a long time, Situ Lin murmured again: "That was when my father was still alive, and he took the two of us to Jinguan City to read palms. An old man with a white beard said that the palm prints of my brother and I are very intricate. , probably the fate will not be too good, always have to go through some hardships and separations..."

He sighed: "I didn't really care about it in the dream, I just laughed it off... I didn't expect it to come true now."

The setting sun was bleak, and the feeling of alcohol in the room was still there. Yun Zhuo looked at him and said nothing.

The man looked out of the window with empty eyes, as if he was chasing some long and distant memory: "When my father died, we were only ten years old, and my younger brother has never met each other, so he has always been treated by my senior brother." He is like a father like a brother... In these years, he has to take care of the affairs of the faction internally, and deal with grievances and grievances externally, and from time to time there are rumors mocking him for having no father or mother."

He shook his head, and said again: "It has been so difficult for him all the way, but I acted willfully twice, and finally got him to this point."

"Enough, stop talking."

Seeing that Situ Lin was immersed in his own emotions and couldn't extricate himself, Yun Zhuo knew his regret and heartache, so he stopped talking, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

After hesitating for a moment, he could only try his best to straighten the man's body: "Look at me."

Situ Lin turned his head in a daze as he said.

Yun Zhuo paused and said: "Listen to me, even if you investigated the ghost energy at that time, you might not be able to find out the theft of the token. It will only increase casualties... If you are so self-deprecating at this moment, wouldn't you be taking advantage of the real culprit and the villain who spread rumors!"

These words are firm and reasonable, Situ Lin was stunned for a moment, and finally regained a gleam of light in his eyes that had been dim for a long time: "I..."

He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by the sound of slapping from outside the gate.

The voice was extremely rude and impatient. The wooden door, which was not thick at all, was shaken and slammed, and the door bolt creaked, almost failing to hold it.

After a while, Jiang Wei's voice full of pride came from outside the door: "Righteous men! This Situ Lin stole the token and murdered Young Master Cheng Ye! Today, he and I broke down this door and captured this sinner. Comfort the soul of Jiumiao's first disciple under the pool!"
