Feast of Rebirth

"Ah, a storyteller came to the store a few days ago and told the story in public. I'm free, and it sounds interesting, so I wrote it down... Well, I just thought this might be useful to you, as a reminder gone."

Yun Congfeng frowned and thought: "It's not impossible to talk about it carefully, but I don't know anything about those two officials. Forget it, let's not take the legend of chasing after wind and shadows seriously."

"Then I won't bother you, go to bed early."

"it is good."

After closing the door, Yun Congfeng collapsed on the bed, closed his eyes, his thoughts were confused.

His mind was full of the case, and at the same time he was thinking about the "story" that Hu Yan told. The more he thought about it, the more likely he felt that it was extremely possible. However, without strong evidence, everything was empty talk after all.

Now that you have a direction, you must check it along this direction.Yun Congfeng recalled the faces he had met in the academy a few times, and wondered who among them could be of help. As he thought about it, he suddenly remembered a person who was once his strong enemy— —To be precise, he never regarded the other party as an enemy.

Liu Liandong has been enjoying a lot of fame lately. He himself has outstanding talents, a rich family background, backed by his father, and his official career is smooth and smooth.Already holding an important position in the Ministry of Industry at a young age, it can be said that he is on the rise and full of vigor.

Early in the morning, he came to the entrance of the engineering department in a small sedan chair, and just stepped out of the sedan chair with one foot, suddenly someone said in his ear: "Liu Liandong, long time no see."

Liu Liandong seldom hears his full name in other people's mouths, except for his father.He felt that the voice sounded familiar. He raised his head and stared, unable to remember who the person in front of him was.

Yun Congfeng cupped his hands: "It's been a long time, Brother Liu doesn't recognize me? You thought of me as a strong enemy back then."

Liu Liandong opened his mouth, suddenly: "Yun Congfeng?! Haha, I'm busy with work, and my memory has also deteriorated. I didn't recognize Brother Yun for a while... I heard that Brother Yun joined the Qingping Division before, and I just thought about it." I went to visit, but unfortunately, my father was strict in discipline, and there were many affairs in the ministry, so I never got it done, and I forgot about it after a long time. Shame! Shame!"

"Don't worry about these nonsense, I would like to ask Brother Liu to do me a favor this time, um..." Yun Congfeng looked around: "Should we talk about it somewhere else?"

Liu Liandong waved his hand: "There is a separate office room below, come with me."

Liu Liandong has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he is no longer the boy who wanted to get the first prize everywhere.He was not surprised that Yun Congfeng came to ask him for help, and he didn't have the same hostile attitude as before. What he had was only emotion and a subtle sense of superiority.

After entering the room, Liu Liandong asked the book boy to make tea and serve some snacks, and said with a smile: "Brother Yun, don't worry, just speak slowly."

Yun Congfeng took a breath, and told the whole story from beginning to end.Some Liu Liandong had heard about it, but they didn't know much about it. After Jing Yun Congfeng explained it in detail, he knew a lot.At the end, when Yun Congfeng said that conjecture, Liu Liandong immediately understood what he meant, and smiled a little: "You want me to find out what those two have found."

Yun Congfeng didn't shy away from it: "Your father is the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and there's no way he doesn't know why."

Liu Liandong didn't speak any more, folded his arms, thought quietly, for a while: "I think if you ask directly, you won't get any results."

He looked at Yun Congfeng, didn't say anything clearly, just smiled.Yun Congfeng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that if the assumption was true, that man with all-hands-eyes would not even have any scruples about the Ministry of Justice and the Division of Qingping, let alone the Minister of the Ministry of Justice?Thinking about it more deeply, Father Liu may know, but speaking out means death.

shudder.

He took a deep breath: "Then what do you think..."

Liu Liandong looked calm: "Brother Yun, you are so talented, I think I'm not as good as you. You should cherish yourself."

Yun Congfeng lowered his head: "Brother Liu...you're right."

Liu Liandong lifted the lid of the tea and made a clear and clear voice: "The tea is almost cold. This is my private collection. It would be a pity not to taste it."

After drinking two sips of tea, Yun Congfeng thanked and left with a heavy heart.

He should have expected that the investigation would not go his way, but it was a hint.As the son of the Minister of Justice, Liu Liandong must have heard what his father said, so he warned him not to mix it up, which indirectly shows that the rumors of rumors are not necessarily rumors.

Wait, Yun Congfeng thought about it, and realized something was wrong.Hu Yan why...why is it so right to send a reminder at this time?After reverse verification by Liu Liandong, the "story" Hu Yan said is simply a standard answer.

The "story" pointed out a way for him, and the behind-the-scenes mastermind is above the court, with great power, and there are not many people who dare to kill the Qingping Division of the Ministry of Punishment. Sooner or later, they will be found out.

So, does Hu Yan know anything?Or...he already knew the real murderer? !

The more I think about it, the more complicated it gets.Yun Congfeng stood for a long time, and the sun was almost at its zenith, making people's scalp numb and hungry.He recalled another thing: today he asked Li Chengde to follow him to find the alley where he saw the old witch.I decided to put this matter aside for the time being, and it would not be too late to go back and question it when I was done.

"I'm going out for a while." Hu Yan said to Chi Nu, and Chi Nu nodded obediently: "When will you be back?"

"Well... maybe half a month."

Chi Nu nodded: "I know, I will take good care of the business in the store."

Hu Yan patted Chi Nu's head.Chi Nu is so obedient, and can do everything in an orderly manner quietly, so that Hu Yan would forget that he is actually a very young child.

Moreover, he was still wearing Luoxingshan's old clothes, Hu Yan tugged at his collar: "Why don't you add new clothes to yourself? Are you missing money?!"

"No...the clothes are not torn, they can still be worn."

"Hey, how can this work! Why do you take the money if you don't spend it? Well, let's not go, follow me to the street to buy some, the shop will be taken care of by the paper puppet."

Chi Nu had no reason to refuse, and followed obediently to the street.Hu Yan has hardly bought anything in the past few months, and he suddenly became extravagant. He bought several sets of clothes and a bunch of messy snacks. When he came back: "I'm leaving, I need some paper puppets to help me, I don't have to be so busy."

"Ok."

"I have money, buy what you want, don't be reluctant."

"it is good."

Chi Nu was wearing new clothes, waving at him under the setting sun.Hu Yan suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was a little illusory. He hadn't paid attention to Chi Nu around him for a long time, and it was as natural as the air around him.Today, because I have to leave, I suddenly realized that I bought something. Whether this item can make up for the usual debt, I have to talk about it...

Hu Yan soared into the sky, intending to fly to the south.Can't help but look back, in an instant, the clothes on Chi Nu seemed to flicker, and walked into the room.

Hu Yan was in a daze for a moment. He remembered that Chi Nu's old clothes were dark blue, and the color turned white after washing too much, while the new clothes he bought today were plant gray. The one he saw just now...was plant gray?The dark blue turned into plant gray in an instant?

Dazzled?Hu Yan was stunned. He hung in mid-air and turned around after a long pause. His heart was full of doubts, and he even had the urge to go back and take a look for confirmation.But then he killed this idea, and went back rashly to explain it, and it was unnecessary...it was unnecessary.

Really misunderstood.Hu Yan didn't bother to think about it anymore, and Yun Congfeng would be coming back from get off work later, so it's better to avoid meeting him before the matter is over.

He soared into the air and left without hesitation.

Yun Congfeng and Li Chengde searched all afternoon, but found nothing.As night fell, I hurried back to the Rujia Inn, and when I entered the door, I shouted: "Hu Yan?! Hu Yan!"

Chi Nu sat in the corner eating melon seeds and reading comic books, and replied with his head: "Young master has gone out to practice."

"Practice?" Yun Congfeng frowned: "Is he going out to practice at this time?"

"Well, yes." Chi Nu replied blankly.Yun Congfeng clenched and loosened his fists: "I see."

It became more and more suspicious. If he can run well on the first day of the junior high school but can't run to the fifteenth day, can he still not come back? !Yun Cong Feng thought angrily.

On the other side, after a few moments of effort, Hu Yan flew thousands of miles away and arrived under a vast mountainous area.He found a place with good geomantic omen, cut a hole in the cliff, and drilled in. Using spells, the vines on the cliff grew wildly and hung down, completely covering the hole.

"Crack." With a snap of his fingers, a cluster of fox fire floated in the air, exuding a pale light.Hu Yan took out the vermilion pen, cinnamon, and spirit ink from his sleeve, and blew a demonic breath on the ground, and the dust and gravel on the ground flew out of the green curtain.

After finishing these, he squatted down and drew a pattern stroke by stroke.

He's so smart... A momentary evasion will inevitably aggravate his suspicions.And he always wants to go back.

So, what kind of impact will his impulsive decision have on the future?

He wanted to help him, but he was also afraid of the consequences of leaking the secret.The blessed spirit fox has more talent and advantages than human warlocks in deduction and divination. Correspondingly, mother fox has warned them countless times not to abuse this talent lightly.The divine punishment for revealing the secrets of the heavens is hard to guard against and inevitable, and the consequences are all devastating.

Mother Fox...Mother Fox... He hasn't been back to the Great Wilderness for a long time, but he only remembers that the Mother Fox is extremely beautiful and is the most beautiful demon in the Great Wilderness.But now he only remembered Mother Fox's ruthless and majestic scolding and commanding voice, but his impression of her face, which was said to have been forgotten even by Meng Chuan Shui Meng Po Soup, could not be washed away, seemed to be covered by a thick layer of fog.

God's punishment is God's punishment, anyway, he is a person who has died once.For some unknown reason, he luckily did it all over again.This time, if he violated the precepts, he should be punished, which is what he deserved.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate to speed up the speed of drawing the array.

After a while, he stood up and rubbed his knees.After resting for a while, he bit his finger, forced out a few drops of blood, and dripped into the heart.

His heart and soul sank, and he slowly chanted an obscure spell in his mouth.Hu Yan flicked his sleeves and walked around the formation.Following his footsteps, the wind entangled and flowed towards the center of the formation from all around, and then rose under the pull of the gradually gathered mysterious power, rising...carrying a wisp of Hu Yan's soul.

Hu Yan walked more and more slowly, more and more slowly, and finally fell to the ground with a plop.

The power consumed is too great, and maintaining the operation of the physical body has become a heavy burden.Only the light soul soars up to the sky, integrates "I" into all things, and perceives the cause and effect of heaven that blends into all things in the dark.

The moment the five senses opened up, Hu Yan had a very strange feeling.It was like a basin of water poured on the ground, which was overflowing unscrupulously, but suddenly hit a wall—the feeling of "hitting a wall" lasted only for a moment, and then spread smoothly, boundlessly, Endless, avenues are myriad.

This is not right.

The sky is boundless, the earth is infinite, and the Tao is also endless. How can there be a feeling of "hitting a wall"?

It shouldn't be.

The most urgent thing is to deduce it as soon as possible.Hu Yan suppressed the doubts in his heart and turned his attention to himself—the karma entangled in the soul, which was faintly visible under the spiritual vision.Densely packed, criss-crossing, like a shimmering cocoon.
