Rebirth of Beigu Sirius

"That's it, it's over?"

Seeing that the scenery around him returned to the original state in the private room of the restaurant, Yun Zhuo couldn't help but pressed his forehead in distress, and sighed: "Why do I feel that after reading this, it's okay to not clear up much of the previous confusion, and add more A lot of new puzzles."

"As many as you can solve."

Situ Lin bent his index finger and tapped on the wooden table, and concluded, "At least, three things are clear now."

Yun Zhuo raised his eyes: "Huh?"

Situ Lin said: "First, the death of Daoist Qing Luo was indeed murdered because he touched the truth of certain things, and it was not caused by exorcism; second, although the ghost king and ghost girl were robbers The corpses killed the person who killed Daoist Qing Luo's corpse, but it was not the real murderer who killed him back then."

Yun Zhuo asked again: "What about the third?"

Situ Lin said: "Thirdly, it's my guess. They left this red maple for us to investigate, and deliberately let go of Qing Luo's body. It's the last insurance policy."

Yun Zhuo doubted: "...the insurance policy?"

"That's right, think about it. If you look closer, they and we are both investigating the death of Daoist Qing Luo; if you go farther, both Daoist Qing Luo and we have also investigated the leak of Guilitan's ghost energy back then. Pass."

Situ Lin said: "So, first let Hong Feng lead us here. If they can't find out the memory of Daoist Qing Luo, then they will find a way to leave the body to us. At that time, the burden will naturally have a new owner."

"Tsk, they want to use our hands to find out the truth."

Yun Zhuo narrowed his eyes, put his wrist on the back of the chair casually, and said: "Then what should we do? Follow their wishes?"

"This case involves a lot. It is related to the death of my senior brother and Daoist Qing Luo. It is also related to whether the family you desperately tried to save was wronged. It is related to Sir Sirius who washed Yunya with blood and protected an innocent good person or a murderer. Kill the thief."

Situ Lin knocked on the table again, and said, "What do you think, should we investigate?"

"Then, of course we have to check."

This matter was discussed by Situ Lin in such a way, thinking of the inexplicable blood debts he had carried on his back in his previous life, the root cause was that someone threw a scapegoat on his back, Yun Zhuo suddenly felt angry, and even In anger, he also slapped the table with his palm.

However, the moment of anger turned into anger, after the table was shot, after thinking for a while, he hesitated and said: "Brother Lin, this matter is strange. Back then we searched desperately for several months and couldn't figure it out. The ghost king and ghost girl are so capable. It’s hard to come up with any results. Many things are now years old, but where do we start to investigate?”

The corner of Situ Lin's lips raised: "The woman who wrote that letter was the square handkerchief that Daoist Qing Luo found."

After the two of them were full of wine and food, they sneaked back to the Yun family's Lingshuang residence.

Yun Zhuo lit a candle and tossed and turned in the old cabinet in his study, and finally pulled out a stack of thread-bound volumes that were covered in dust.

——That was the roster of suspects who had stolen tokens written by them back then.

At that time, the two of them were young at heart, but when they encountered such evil things such as bereavement and bereavement, all their thoughts were devoted to investigating the case.Regardless of day and night, they worked continuously for several months, transcribing the names of all the people who were a little bit close to Guilitan before and after that year in the booklet, checking each person one by one, stroke by stroke.

It's a pity that they checked and checked in the end, and they crossed out all the names on the dozens of booklets back then.

Redoing the old things, Yun Zhuo didn't care about the identities of the two of them now, and pulled Situ Lin's legs to the ground, just like the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy back then, spreading out the booklet and opening it.

In the end, he felt more and more that the cursive handwriting on the booklet made his head dizzy, and finally shook his head and sighed: "Tsk tsk, brother Lin, look at your words back then, can you understand what you wrote!"

"Don't worry, even though you've improved a bit now, you may not be able to understand it."

Situ Lin smiled back, but did not refute, and spread out another booklet in his arms, and after reading it for a while, he also smiled and said: "Hey, back then, you, Mr. Sirius, wrote well, with strokes and strokes, immature. It's more immature, but it also has youthful arrogance, which makes me admire you."

"Stop, stop, don't be poor."

Seeing the man's eyes showing a little unknown smile, and opening his mouth to run away, Yun Zhuo quickly stopped, pointed to the booklet on his lap, and thought: "Speaking of business."

"it is good."

Situ Lin is as good as others.

Yun Zhuo said: "Back then we eliminated these people one by one in every detail, and now we check the handwriting again, and I'm afraid it will be the same result. But if we want to find out who the handkerchief belongs to, it must not be recorded in the booklet What do you think you can do with these stubbles?"

"Don't forget, that water red handkerchief is embroidered with wild geese."

Situ Lin twisted his chin, and then analyzed: "This thing is nothing like flowers, birds and mandarin ducks. You can find any handkerchiefs embroidered at the stalls on the street. That girl's handkerchief embroidered with this must have some meaning."

Yun Zhuo raised his eyes: "Are you saying that there is 'geese' in her name?"

Situ Lin nodded: "Follow this clue and search again."

The two of them searched for a while, and when the sky outside was completely dark, they had circled the names of three people.

"The first person, Wu Guiyan, is a little Taoist nun with indeterminate views."

Yun Zhuo pointed to the booklet in front of him, and said: "Look, it says on it that she went out to the mountains with a few classmates to practice at that time. A colleague from the same sect also testified against each other, so we ruled it out back then."

"Now it seems that this person is unlikely."

Situ Lin added: "Inconsistency Temple emphasizes pure heart and painstaking cultivation. Taoist nuns generally don't use this scarlet silk embroidered handkerchief."

"Then what about the second person? Zhan Lu's female disciple, Zhang Xiaoyan."

Yun Zhuo nodded, opened another roster twice, and gestured: "This girl has no evidence of her absence, but she is just like your old man, she is good-looking, but her writing is not very eye-catching. The handwriting on it doesn't match at all. Tsk tsk, if there is any possibility, it is the ugly handwriting we saw back then, which she deliberately imitated in order to get rid of the crime..."

Situ Lin took the booklet and looked at it, but shook his head, and said, "Even if the handwriting is deliberately ugly, there should be similarities in how the two brushes are written, but this girl's handwriting is nothing like the one on the letter. .”

"Oh, then we are busy again."

Yun Zhuo rubbed his head and threw him another booklet, pouted and said: "Both of these are impossible, look at the third person, it's even more impossible."

"How to say."

Situ Lin took the brochure and narrowed his eyes.

Yun Zhuo said: "Because this girl Ning Yan from Yunya Palace died long before that."

"died?"

Situ Lin frowned in surprise, and asked again, "How did you die?"

"Who knows the internal affairs of Yunya Palace?"

Yun Zhuo spread his hands, and said again: "Hiss, although this girl probably has that water-red embroidered handkerchief, she has been buried in the earth for several years. Hey, I don't even know myself, how could I put her name What has been copied down, I am afraid that I have copied too much, and I am dizzy for a while."

When Situ Lin heard the words, his expression became more serious, and he frowned as he stared at the name on the book, and asked, "When did she die, does she have any relatives?"

Yun Zhuo gestured at the booklet: "Hey, it's not written on it. This girl has no father and no mother. When she was ten years old, she and her younger brother worshiped under the old palace lord Lu Yinbin of Yunya. In the end, alas, she was also a confidante. Died before the age of 16."

"So, she has a younger brother."

Situ Lin thoughtfully said: "Ning Yan, Yunya Palace...Ning, You?"

"Ning You?"

When Yun Zhuo heard the name, he was startled, almost fell back and staggered, and took a quick breath before realizing what Situ Lin meant.

He recalled the young boy in that town who was always sandwiched between Situ Ling and Bai Xiao to smooth things over, with a gentle smile, but he didn't say a word about his past.

Could it be that this child will be related to the crime of stealing tokens?

He thought for a while, but still couldn't believe it. He shook his head and said, "No way? You mean, this kid Ning You killed someone in the name of his deceased sister?"

Situ Lin frowned again and said, "Of course not, because it's not right at all."

Yun Zhuo said: "What's wrong?"

"The age is wrong."

Situ Lin explained: "He is probably Ning Yan's younger brother, but that child looks younger than Zihan... When Guilitan's keepsake was stolen, Zihan had just passed his 11th birthday, and let It is impossible for a child in his early ten years to steal the tokens that his ancestors have sealed for nearly 200 years, and to plan so that we cannot find out."

"Well, that makes sense."

Yun Zhuo sighed: "Then, since the child's suspicion has been ruled out, is the clue broken again?"

"That's not necessarily the case. He didn't do it, but it doesn't mean he doesn't know a thing or two about the truth."

Situ Lin got up and picked up the roster that was spread out all over the floor, and concluded: "Although Ning You may not remember much when the token was stolen, anyway, let's take the time to find out the truth with him tomorrow."

To the west of Junfeng Hall, there is a pavilion named Guanyue.

This pavilion is built on a hill next to Yun's house, with long bluestone steps, green pillars and gray tiles, shaded by green cypresses, and a few wisteria plants dotted among the dark green, it is very quiet.

This pavilion is quite elegant, when Yun Zhuo and his three brothers were not practicing martial arts and competing with swords, they did a lot of arty things like cooking wine and Fu, playing the piano and watching the moon.

It's a pity that in broad daylight, there is no piano, no wine, and no poems about the moon. There are three people sitting in the pavilion, two big and one small, and they don't come here to be literati or poets.

"Brother Situ, Mr. Rong, are you looking for me?"

Ning You sat on the stone bench, looked at Situ Lin, who was enjoying himself with a plate of fried melon seeds, and at Yun Zhuo, who was holding a small plate to pick up the melon seed shells for Situ Lin, and scratched his head inexplicably.

"Hey, it's nothing serious."

Yun Zhuo casually poured the plate of melon seed husks into the clay basin at his feet, and smiled at the young master dressed in moon white: "Just to ask you, do you have a sister named Ning Yan?"

"what?"

Although he was able to fight with Situ Ling and Bai Xiao with ease, Ning You was still a teenager after all, so he was taken aback when he heard the words.

There was a little confusion in his eyes, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, but how could you..."

"Let's not talk about that first."

Situ Lin didn't reply to the boy, but put the plate in his hand, and then asked, "Tell me, does she have a scarlet handkerchief with Guiyan embroidered on it?"

Ning You nodded hesitantly.

Situ Lin asked again: "Then forgive me for taking the liberty to ask your sister how she died back then?"

After saying this, the child's expression changed abruptly, he took a deep breath, and finally looked at the two of them and shook his head.

Yun Zhuo doubted: "What do you mean? You don't know? Or, don't want to tell us?"

"No, no."

Ning You showed embarrassment, scratched his head again and said: "Mr. Situ, Mr. Rong, I was too young at that time, and this matter is too sad, I can't remember clearly."

"Oh?"

Although a little unreasonable, Situ Lin still doubted: "I can't even remember if I died in an accident or was killed by someone else?"

"That's not it."

Ning You sighed and said, "My sister committed suicide."

suicide?

The two looked at each other, and there was disbelief in their eyes - they thought that since Ning Yan had something to do with Guilitan, his death must have been murdered, but now it is suicide, which is really different from the previous speculation .

Yun Zhuo hurriedly asked suspiciously: "Little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, what is there to commit suicide?"

"do not know."

Now, Ning You shook his head feebly again.

Situ Lin asked back: "How can you not know about your sister's life?"

"I really don't know. Because she didn't even leave a suicide note."

Ning You's eyes became more sad, and he sighed: "I heard that my sister took poison and died in her disciple's room. There was no one else in the room at the time. Let alone someone knows why she died. My sister is alone and alone. , but he was just a low-level disciple, and when this happened, he was wrapped in a straw mat and buried in a hurry."

"Ah? Then what? Could it be that this matter has been exposed?"

Seeing Ning You gritted his teeth and nodded, with some tears in the corners of his eyes, Yun Zhuo sighed softly, and asked again: "Even if there is no one else in the room, she must have some little sisters and good friends, right? Does anyone know why she died? Didn't you think about investigating?"

"I checked, of course I checked! But I was too young at the time, so I checked and checked, but found nothing."

When Ning You spoke up to this point, he suddenly choked up, and the tears that had accumulated in the corners of his eyes for a long time finally fell down "pattapatta".

He took a deep breath, and then said: "Those senior brothers who are as old as my sister are silent about this matter, and head Lu is also protecting them. If I ask more about this matter, I will be punished for thinking about it."

"what?!"

The two of them frowned when they heard this.

——The previous palace lord, Head Master Lu, was also related to this matter.Could it be that Ning Yan was involved so much?

"Here, wipe first."

Shocked, Yun Zhuo recalled many scattered memories of his previous life before the bloodbath on Yunya, and his ten fingers slightly clenched white seals.Looking at the little boy who was crying, he felt even more uncomfortable. He took out a square handkerchief from his arms and handed it to him, comforting him: "Good and evil have their own way of heaven, your sister has a spirit in the sky, and she will let those The wicked reap their own fruit."

"Ah."

Ning You took the handkerchief and wiped away two tears.

Situ Lin, who was at the side, pondered for a moment, but then thought: "Boldly ask again, do you hate those senior brothers who don't know what's right or wrong and stand by with nothing?"

"At first, I hated it to the bone, but I gradually let it go..."

Ning You took a deep breath, as if he finally suppressed the painful past in his heart, and said: "After all, my sister did commit suicide. Although the cause of suicide is unclear, but if there was no Yunya Palace, our siblings They both starved to death on the street."

"No, you are a little too easily satisfied."

Yun Zhuo was stunned when he heard this, and thought that this would put aside his old temper. His elder brother and relatives committed suicide inexplicably, and he would not stop if there was no chaos. This child is really old-fashioned and easy-going.

In the end, before he could speak again, the hand under the sleeve was suddenly slapped by Situ Lin.

Well, it's because I think I'm talking too much.

Yun Zhuo was in pain and quickly stopped talking.

"maybe."

Ning You smiled self-deprecatingly: "...but what if, sister's death was really just because she couldn't think about it for a while? Anyway, it's been so long, so what's the use of getting entangled in it."

"Ask you one more thing."

Situ Lin was leaning against one of the pillars, secretly pulling Yunzhuo's hand under his sleeve with one hand, and shaking his fan with the other hand, but his expression was calm: "Sirius Lord Yunzhuo bloodbathed your Yunya Palace three years ago. , killed hundreds of your fellow disciples, do you hate him?"

ah?Suddenly asked why? !

At first hearing the words, Yun Zhuo was puzzled, and then glared at Situ Lin angrily.

This is not nonsense? !

The king of Sirius murdered his father and betrayed his teacher and washed Yunya with blood. There are many people in the rivers and lakes who are angry with me and gnash their teeth. Not to mention that so many of his senior brothers and sisters died at my hands.

Who knows, the little boy said in a low voice: "You can't say you hate it, and you can't say you don't hate it."

"what?"

Caught off guard by being slapped in the face, Yun Zhuo was shocked, the soles of his feet slipped, and if Situ Lin hadn't held the hand under the sleeve, he would have fallen off the stone bench.

Thousands of people scolded him during his lifetime, but he didn't have a whole body after death, so he was talking about himself.

Although, counting the evils in this Jianghu, there are reasons why some wicked people do evil, but apart from relatives and close friends during their lifetime, few people in the world would care about the reasons for others to do evil.

Killing his father and betraying his teacher, and bloodbathing other sects, how rebellious he sounds, how degraded his humanity is...

Situ Lin and him are close friends, Duan Zhaoying has a half-face acquaintance with him, Bai Xiaoyuan lives in Miaojiang with a simple mind, they protect themselves, believe in themselves, and they can still understand...

But Ningyou is different from them.

No one knows, between this child's teacher, Yunya Palace, and his Sirius Yunzhuo, there are hundreds of lives and blood debts.

"Why don't you hate this man so much?"

Yun Zhuo spoke with hesitation, and his voice was low.

Ning You also sighed, but the words that followed were firm: "Because although he killed people, he committed a heinous crime...But the people he killed may not all be innocent."

Both Situ Lin and Yun Zhuo were breathless: "This..."

"Furthermore, it is related to the secrets of my sect."

Ning You shook his head, and didn't want to say any more: "Young Masters, I'm sorry."

"Hey, it's okay."

It is not the way of a gentleman to make things difficult for others, let alone force such a teenage child for no reason.

Seeing Ning You's troubled face, although Yun Zhuo was still hesitating in his heart, he could only force a smile and comforted him: "It was just a small talk, and we should be the ones to apologize for revealing so many sad things about you."

"It's okay. I have no relatives. I have held back this sad past for too long. It's a bit more comfortable to be able to talk about it today."

Ning You smiled lightly, and didn't mean to blame them. He saluted respectfully and said in a low voice, "It's just that brother Zihan and Bai Xiao have something to do with me in the afternoon, so I'll take my leave first."

When the two heard the words, they both nodded, exchanged greetings and sent the child away, but after returning to the gazebo, doubts came and went more and more.

"I didn't expect that among the three children, two of them didn't hate me. What's the reason?"

Yun Zhuo looked at the sky with his cheeks on his hands, his eyes were very confused.

Situ Lin raised his eyebrows and joked, "What's the matter? Do you still hope that the world will hate you?"

"Hey, that's not true. I just think it's a bit strange! Could it be that when I bloodbathed other sects, I really hit it by mistake, except for a few villains?"

Yun Zhuo shook his head, suddenly felt that he had gone off topic, and hurriedly said: "Forget it, let's talk about the business first, the ownership of this veil can be regarded as implemented, but the real culprit behind the scenes is still clueless! What's more Those who have pulled out a mystery about Ning Yan's death, and there are so many involved, tsk tsk, why do you feel that the entanglement behind these messes is becoming more and more unclear?"

"Inside Yunya Palace, there must have been some problems over the years."

Situ Lin, who was sitting next to him, concluded: "Since Ning You doesn't want to say anything, we have to investigate it ourselves."

"Oh, my brother Lin, what you said."

Yun Zhuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he shook his hand and said, "I've already said it, this is the secret matter of Yunya Palace, how can you check it?"

"How to check? Check slowly."

Situ Lin casually pulled out Pingping, unfolded the fan bone and played with it a few times, then said with a smile: "Don't forget, Brother Lin is now Jiu Miao's Demon Lord, and there are Xiao Qi Xiao Shi and others here. Spying on information, isn't this what our sect is best at?"
