Biography of Xi Shan

It has been raining continuously for more than half a month, the air is filled with white mist, the weather is sweltering, and the scroll is filled with a damp breath.

Lu Zhen stood at the door and was reluctant to go in. Liu Muyan has been silent for more than half a year, no longer joking with his apprentice as usual, and frowning from time to time full of thoughts.

Several times in the middle of the night, Lu Zhen happened to pass by Liu Muyan's yard, and saw that the lights in his room were still on, and the figure reflected in the window looked lonely and melancholy.

"Zhen'er, what are you doing standing at the door? Come in if you have something to do." Liu Muyan's voice sounded tepid.

Lu Zhen responded, pushed the door open and entered.

Liu Muyan lost a lot of weight. He propped his cheeks and elbows on the armrest, looking very tired.

Lu Zhen's face was sullen, but his eyes were worried. He looked at Liu Muyan and asked tentatively, "Master, are you worried about Xiaojing?"

Hearing this, Liu Muyan raised his eyelids, glanced at him, then slowly closed them back, and said casually, "What am I worried about him doing? Why is there anything to worry about when he's staying on the North Cliff?"

Liu Muyan sat and fell asleep, his mind burst into chaos.

After a while, Liu Muyan didn't hear Lu Zhen speak again, he opened his eyes and looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "Why don't you practice martial arts well, why don't you come here to care about being a teacher?"

Lu Zhen's face became paler, and after a long silence, he said in a low voice, "Master, something happened to Junior Brother Sun."

Liu Muyan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you injured?"

Lu Zhen shook her head, looked carefully at Liu Muyan's expression, and couldn't bear it: "Only Lingling came back. According to her, Junior Brother Sun...has gone."

Liu Muyan stood up suddenly, slapped the table, and said angrily, "Who did it!" Liu Muyan has always kept his face secret, and it was the first time he saw Lu Zhen so angry, so he must have been very angry. It also lost its form for a while.

Lu Zhen knelt down suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Master calm down, Lingling is now in the hall, and Mrs. Su is accompanying her."

Liu Muyan's eyes were cold, he closed his eyes slowly, stood there for a while, then opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, he raised his hand and said, "Zhen'er, get up, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Thank you, master." Lu Zhen stood up, frowning worriedly.

Liu Muyan said in a deep voice, "Follow me to the main hall."

Lu Zhen followed Liu Muyan to the main hall, where several direct disciples were among them, Su Lingling and Su Fangshi hugged each other and cried together.

Su Fang is a tall and thin woman, she is in her forties now, but she is very smart. There are only a few fine lines on her face, and she can still see her beautiful appearance when she was young.

Compared to Su Lingling's wailing, I feel pity for Su Fang when she cries, as if she has been greatly wronged.

Seeing Liu Muyan appearing, he hurriedly stepped forward and cried, "Master, you have to make decisions for Lingling."

Ever since Su Lingling left without saying goodbye, Su Qisheng has been busy looking for her traces, and now that he has lost contact and does not know when he will return, the Su Fang family can only rely on Liu Muyan at this time.

Liu Muyan said indifferently: "Pull up a chair for my sister-in-law to sit down."

Zhou Ce hurriedly pulled out a chair from the corner, wiped the dust off the floating surface with his sleeve, and said, "Auntie, please sit down."

Su Fang was also polite, and sat down wiping away tears, still holding Su Lingling's hand tightly.

The entire hall is very spacious and spacious, with twelve windows on the left and right walls, and a three-foot-high carved door that requires four people to push it open.Liu Muyan ordered people to open all the windows, and suddenly there was a coolness mixed with the fragrance of earth in the hall, which made Su Lingling's body tremble uncontrollably.

She stabilized her mind, stopped crying, knelt down before Liu Muyan asked, and crawled towards Liu Muyan crying, "Master, you must avenge Senior Brother Sun."

Liu Muyan sized her up and said, "What happened, please tell me in detail."

Su Lingling elaborated on the humiliation she received in the Wuji Sect, and finally said: "Senior brother Sun came to pick me up, but was insulted by Chen Daozhen in every possible way. They caught me. In desperation, Senior Brother Sun had no choice but to run away with me, but Chen Daozhen was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he chased us all the way, and finally Senior Brother Sun was killed by them in order to save me."

Liu Muyan couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Chen Daozhen hunted you down personally?"

"No, no..." Su Lingling wrung her skirt tightly, then she turned her head and said with an idea: "It's the drunkard. Chen Daozhen sent the drunkard to chase us all the way."

Liu Muyan turned around and walked towards the seat in the center of the hall, lifted his clothes and sat down, thinking about something with a sullen face.

If it wasn't for Chen Daozhen's letter asking him to send someone to pick up Su Lingling, I'm afraid he still doesn't know Su Lingling's whereabouts. If Chen Daozhen wants to kill her, although he can do it without anyone noticing, why bother chasing and killing them all the way.

What's more, Chen Daozhen has status and means, so how can he be serious with Su Lingling?Even if you don't look at Liu Muyan's face, you will take Jing'er's identity into consideration.

The group of disciples had their own thoughts, but at this time Liu Muyan didn't speak, and the group of disciples were all silent, looking at each other and the atmosphere was extremely suppressed.

The hall was quiet, only Su Fang was weeping in a low voice.

Su Lingling lowered her head and did not dare to look at Liu Muyan. She has done a lot of psychological construction after returning this time.She originally thought about leaving, but Liu Muyan would definitely know that Sun Lifeng was dead after a long time. If she didn't die but didn't come back, Liu Muyan would definitely have doubts.

She thought for a long time before she came up with this method of diverting disasters to the east. Even if Liu Muyan confronts Chen Daozhen, it doesn't matter. She is not afraid that Chen Daozhen will deny it. Passed a catastrophe.

Liu Muyan was silent for a long time before asking: "Did you see the drunk head kill Feng'er with your own eyes?"

Su Lingling nodded sharply, and cried loudly: "Brother Sun was killed by the head of the alcoholic to protect me. I saw this with my own eyes."

Lu Zhen and the others remained silent, but Su Qisheng's direct disciples jumped up against the table, knelt down quickly, and said loudly in unison: "Please be the sect master, senior brother!"

Liu Muyan was trembling with anger, but he patted the armrest but said in a cold voice: "Su Lingling, you are so courageous, who gave you the confidence to deceive me, it's troublesome now, you don't think about living a stable life , but using the name of the Xishan School to cause trouble outside, and now even the disciples of the Xishan School dare to kill!"

Su Lingling opened her eyes wide in horror, and looked at Liu Muyan in disbelief.She expected that Liu Muyan would not believe her easily, but she didn't expect Liu Muyan to point the finger at her.

Everyone was shocked, and there was a loud commotion in the hall.

Crying, Su Fang rushed towards Su Lingling, hugged her frightened daughter into her arms, and cried, "It's fine if you don't help us, why do you still bully our orphans and widows? What did we do wrong? You want to do this?" to us."

Su Qisheng's disciples couldn't bear it, and they all stepped forward to help her.

Liu Muyan glanced at them, his sharp eyes made everyone tremble, and hesitantly retreated back to the original place.

"You said that Feng'er was killed by the head of a drunkard, then take a look at what is hanging around your waist?" Liu Muyan took a deep breath, he never imagined that one day his disciple would die in the hands of Su Lingling.

Su Lingling looked at her waist in a daze, and when she saw the gray money bag, she broke out in a cold sweat.

One person exclaimed, "That's Senior Brother Sun's purse!"

Su Lingling blinked quickly, and said anxiously: "Senior Brother Sun gave it to me, he was afraid that I would get lost so he gave the purse to me, I didn't kill him, Senior Brother Sun was so kind to me, why should I kill him. "

Zhou Ce squinted at the money bag, and suddenly stepped forward and pulled it over, screaming strangely: "Master, there is blood on it."

Liu Muyan laughed back angrily: "Not to mention whether the Wuji Sect will embarrass you, just because of the disaster you caused outside under the banner of the Xishan Sect this year, I can't spare you lightly! Lock Su Lingling up for me, and no one is allowed to see her without my order."

Su Lingling shook her head in panic. She didn't want to be locked up again. She hugged Su Fang and cried loudly: "Mother, my daughter didn't kill anyone. Please save her. Don't let me be locked up. My daughter is afraid."

Su Fang patted her on the back, looked hard at the people around her, and said cautiously: "Who dares to lock up my daughter! If you have the ability, come at me."

Su Fang glared at Liu Muyan after finishing speaking, and said with a sneer, "I am also your sister-in-law. Now that Qisheng is not at home, is this how you take care of our orphans and widows? What's more, Lingling made it clear that she No killing!"

Liu Muyan narrowed his eyes, and said in a calm voice: "Remember first, I, Liu Muyan, am the head of the Xishan Sect first, and secondly, Senior Brother Su's junior. Feng'er is a disciple of my Xishan Sect. Something happened to him. I must investigate to the end, Su Lingling is the most suspicious now, I only locked her up for the sake of senior brother and let her go, even if I put this matter aside, Su Lingling has caused a lot of trouble outside this year, It's not an exaggeration for me to punish her like this."

Seeing Liu Muyan's resolute attitude, Su Fang turned his finger on Su Qisheng's disciples, "Are you just watching your mother and daughter being bullied like this? Do you still think that I am your teacher's wife?"

Several people hesitated, subconsciously looking at Liu Muyan and the others.

Zhou Ce threw the money bag in his hand.

Several people's faces darkened, and their gazes at Su Lingling became deep and gloomy.

One of them said: "Master's wife, the head of this matter will definitely investigate clearly. If Lingling really didn't do it, she will be released sooner or later."

"No, why should our Lingling suffer so much?" Su Fang's voice suddenly rose.

Su Lingling was sobbing, she didn't have the courage to speak out, so she could only cover herself by crying loudly.

Liu Muyan sneered and said, "I, Liu Muyan, am the head of the Xishan School."

Su Fang laughed sarcastically: "Okay, since you are unreasonable, I can't do anything about you as the leader, but you'd better show evidence, otherwise I will never die with you!"

Zhou Ce, who had been holding back for a long time, stood up uncontrollably, frowned and scolded: "My master is not being reasonable? You have a reason but explain why there is blood on this purse? Could it be that Su Lingling is still thinking about life and death? Want to grab the purse and run away?"

Su Fang sneered: "If you want to commit a crime, why is there no excuse?"

"You!" Zhou Ce was furious, and was about to rush up to the back collar of his clothes, but was grabbed by Lu Zhen, and his whole body was pulled back.

Zhou Ce glared at Lu Zhen and said, "Why are you dragging me? What did I say wrong? My auntie is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. Just because she is a woman, she can't argue with her words. Her daughter is delicate and precious, and Senior Brother Sun's life is at stake." Isn't it important?"

Although Zhou Ce didn't get along with Sun Lifeng, he couldn't say he had any grudges. Now that something happened to Sun Lifeng, he also felt uncomfortable as a disciple of the Xishan School.Especially when the real culprit is almost in sight, Su Fang, relying on her identity as a teacher and aunt, pushed away all the evidence and insisted that it was his master who bullied people.

Leaving aside Sun Lifeng, Zhou Ce couldn't stand just slandering his master.

Who doesn't know that Liu Muyan has a hard-spoken and soft-hearted personality, he taught a group of disciples, and never really treated anyone harshly, most of the Xishan sect were orphans, Liu Muyan really treated them like a master and a father, and treated them very magnanimously.If Su Lingling hadn't been bullying too much, how could his master have lost his temper?

Now that black and white are turned upside down, it's really shameless.

Zhou Ce was furious, and when he saw Lin Zixiao standing aside with a sullen face and a calm expression, he couldn't help becoming irritable, and pushed him impatiently, "Little brother, tell me."

Lin Zixiao has matured a lot during this time, and he is no longer the little junior who only knows how to eat, drink and dodge. Zhou Ce pushed him and didn't see him getting angry.

I saw Lin Zixiao looking at the crowd calmly, and said: "The second senior brother was hit by the eternal sleep Gu before, and it was Young Sect Master Chen who volunteered to lead him to the land of no desire, and saved the second senior brother's life in the sea of ​​swords and fire. Chen The Young Sect Master and the Second Senior Brother have a deep friendship, and the friendship is extremely deep. He is definitely not someone who would kill someone for a trivial matter, let alone the one who died was a member of our Xishan Sect. Chen Shaozong is a righteous person, even in the eyes of the Second Senior Brother I won't embarrass Su Lingling because of her face, so I think Su Lingling is lying, as for why she lied, and whether she really killed Senior Brother Sun, these things can only be determined after investigation."

Liu Muyan nodded in satisfaction.

Zhou Ce looked at Lin Zixiao in surprise, and then became very ashamed. Now even Zixiao would argue with reason, and he even quarreled with Su Fang at the top of his voice.

Zhou Ce's face was burning with embarrassment, and he subconsciously took a few steps back, hiding behind Lu Zhen's broad shoulders.

Liu Muyan patted the case and said: "Zhen'er, Ce'er, you and Bai Shui go to investigate together, and you must bring Feng'er back for a proper burial."

Zheng Baishui is an upright person, and he is Su Qisheng's second disciple, so his participation in it is naturally a bit more fair.

The three of them stepped forward to accept the order and agreed.

Su Fang frowned, now she can only wait for Lingling's father to come back.

Su Lingling lay expressionlessly on the ground, her nails were firmly embedded in her flesh, and a few streaks of blood were drawn out.
