wrong song

Chapter 81 The Deed of Life and Death

The news of Chen Qiaoyue's death came suddenly, but there was still an endless stream of people who came to Beidou Villa to mourn.

Standing behind Shen Lin, Shen Chen was dressed in plain white linen.The morbid paleness appeared on his face again, his eyes were no longer red, but slightly swollen, he had clearly regained his eyesight, but he still had no expression.

Others pitied him for the sudden loss of his mother, and after talking with Shen Lin, they would walk up to him and say a few words of comfort.I saluted and thanked each of them solemnly and gracefully, let those people pat me on the shoulder, and said solemnly, "My condolences go with the change."

Around noon, bright white sunlight began to flicker in front of his eyes.He closed his eyes tightly to let the slight dizziness pass, then opened it, and saw a person standing in front of him, patted his hand lightly, and said in a low voice: "Young Master, please let me know your condolences. Take care of yourself."

Shen Chen wanted to talk to him, but because his father was there, he could only glance at him briefly, then lowered his head, and said, "Thank you, Senior Zhong, and Master Wan."

For some reason, Wan Fangyuan lost a lot of weight than before. He is not a person who loves to groan, but he just patted Shen Shen's back heavily, and said, "If your back is straight, you still have to go on with your life."

He was startled, Zhong Wan also said the same thing to him.At that time, he was still immersed in grief and failed to deal with it properly. At this time, Wan Fangyuan told him to straighten his spine, so he could understand the implication of the master and apprentice.

In the mourning hall, Chen Qiaoyue's face was lifelike, and many Tianshan disciples couldn't help crying when they saw it, and they all choked up and called "Second Senior Sister".Liang Congzhi was always rigid and cold, so he murmured at this time: "Junior Sister Qiao Yue, it's my fault, it's my fault..."

Her voice behind her was very soft, but it was still heard by Shen Shen, who had a particularly keen hearing. What she said was "I shouldn't have married you to the Shen family at that time".

***

In the middle of the funeral, several masters of the Bodhi Temple had finished reading scriptures and were preparing to put the jade coffin into the coffin.

At this time, a servant whispered a few words in Shen Lin's ear, Shen Lin's expression changed, and he signaled the subordinate to wait a moment.

Master Rujing, who had been invited, looked embarrassed, and said: "Master, if you don't bury him in the coffin, you will miss the hour."

Shen Lin asked, "How much longer?"

"Three quarters of an hour."

"It's enough," Shen Lin waved his hand to call Shen Chen, "Your mother had a favorite thing that she kept with Situ, go and fetch it, and bury it beside your mother."

Shen Shen bowed his head in response, and hurried out. Zhong Wan saw his fast pace, and thought to himself: "What kind of important thing, I didn't notice it at the time, but now I want to bury it together?"

However, this was in someone else's villa, and he couldn't do anything wrong under the eyes of everyone, so he could only watch Shen Shen go away and disappear outside the door.

Shen Shen just opened the door and walked for a while, but saw someone pull him, and whispered: "Follow me."

The person who came was none other than the "Situ" Shen Lin mentioned just now, Chen Qiaoyue's adopted sister, Situ Xiao.

She is said to be a righteous sister, but in fact she is several years younger than Shen Chen.However, probably due to the ups and downs of his childhood, Situ Xiao matured much earlier than ordinary children. At this time, he was able to take Shen Shen out of Shen Lin's nose, drag him into an empty room, and quickly said: "Shen Guibo , I want you to do me a favor."

Shen Chen didn't say whether to answer or not, but just looked at her quietly. Situ Xiao knew that he had something to ask for, so he stomped his feet angrily, and said, "That's all! Can I ask you to do it? Do you still want to know whether my sister is How did you die?"

Shen Shen was stunned for a moment, and Situ Xiao saw his expression, and immediately understood: "You also doubted sister's death? Some people said that she was suffering from diabetes, and some said that it was because she was exhausted to treat your eyes. No matter what it is, I I don't believe it."

She grabbed Shen Shen's hand, stuffed a crystal clear stone into it, and said: "This stone was brought from Tianshan Mountain when my sister got married. It looks ordinary, but inside it is densely carved with a set of medical books from Tianshan Mountain. , so many doctors have dreamed of this. A few days before my sister died, she seemed to have expected it, and specially stuffed it into my hand, asking me to be buried with her."

Shen Chen looked at the stone under the light, and sure enough there were dense patches of teeny script inside.Situ Xiao smiled wryly and said: "My eyes are almost blurred, and only then did I see something. The medicine given to you is good, but it hurts her body very much. However, it is only gradually aging, and it will not reach the point of dying of illness—unless Someone was fanning the flames from the sidelines."

"There are still three quarters of an hour before the auspicious time," Shen Shen said, "What do you want me to do?"

Situ Xiao pointed to his cat-like eyes, and said: "I am an ominous person, and I am not allowed to go near the mourning hall, so you should meet me to pick up things. Normally, it will take you two quarters of an hour to go back and forth. There is more than a quarter of an hour left now." , I want you to go into Shen Lin's study and help me find something."

Shen Lin's study is a secret place, except for a few secretaries, even Shen Chen only went in and sat there a few times.At this time, everyone in the villa was mourning for Chen Qiaoyue in the mourning hall, which was a good time.

Shen Chen nodded without hesitation.Seeing his gloomy expression, Situ Xiao comforted him: "...Sister will not blame you, if she is alive in heaven, she will never want to die in a daze."

Shen Lin's study is in the Tianshu Tower, and the two of them practiced light kung fu and hurried to see that there were only a few disciples guarding the door of the Tianshu Tower, and the guards were indeed looser than ever before.

Most of Situ Xiao's martial arts were taught by Chen Qiaoyue. Chen Qiaoyue saw at a glance that she was a good candidate for Kunze, and taught her light and dexterous kung fu.Shen Chen was not good at martial arts before, but he has been taught by Zhong Wan, a senior teacher, for nearly two years, and his progress can be described as rapid.The two entered the study without anyone noticing, not even an ant was disturbed.

The study room of Tianshu Pavilion is not used to meet guests, so it lacks a lot of red tape decorations, and most of them are built according to the wishes of the past dynasties.When Shen Youshuang was alive, the study room was full of famous swords, which made such a place full of murderous intent, but he loved it so much that he hung a bunch of grapes drawn by his beloved wife on the back of the desk out of place, saying: "People say that the study room It is necessary to have a backer, and I live off the grapes my wife peeled for me."

After Shen Lin came to power, he removed the sword, leaving only the sword manual to keep alone. The original mahogany desk was replaced with a larger one made of nanmu. The painting of Kong Xiuer was buried with Shen Youshuang at the back, and he did not hang it up as usual. Famous landscape artists, but hand-painted a map of the Big Dipper.Shen Chen was blind when he entered the Tianshulou study for the first time, and he could only hear Shen Lin said lightly: "Even if you can't see it, you have to remember it, our Shen family has no backing, and it is absolutely impossible to rely on others , if that day really comes, it is better to burn down the villa with a fire."

Seeing Situ Xiao heading straight for the bookshelf, Shen Chen asked, "What are you looking for?"

Without looking back, Situ Xiao said, "The real prescription."

"Father is suspicious, and the letters are burned after reading. If there is a problem with the prescription, how can we keep more?"

"If you can't find the prescription, you can just look for the medicine." Situ Xiao touched the huge mahogany bookshelf inch by inch to see if there were any hidden compartments, "A person like Shen Lin will definitely hold all the deadly things in his hands... "

Shen Shen stared at the bookshelf without moving for a long time. After a while, he shifted his gaze to the desk in front of him.

It was rumored that Lord Shen loves jade, so there was a steady stream of gifts from all parties, but Shen Shen knew that this was just specially left by Shen Lin for outsiders to see. .At this time, a pair of high-quality jade unicorns was placed on the Wenchang seat on the table, which was so transparent that it was priceless at first glance.

Situ Xiao was still rummaging through the bookshelf wholeheartedly, but he walked to the desk and sat down.He was sitting in Shen Lin's position, and he could touch Qilin's head with his hand, in a gesture of life and death against the auspicious beast.

Shen Shen squinted his eyes, and stroked Qilin's back with his slender fingers.Sitting here, he seems to be the same as Shen Lin, being eroded by the raging ambition and scheming, washing away his noble and handsome outer skin, revealing the filthy inner part of the Shen family that has not changed for a century.

Maybe it's because of the blood connection between father and son, even though he hates that he is Shen Lin's son, he still has a subtle similarity with that person.

With a slight movement of his hand, Qilin's body broke in two.Situ Xiao turned his head abruptly, saw the half jade carving in his hand, and exclaimed: "You are crazy! You will be discovered..."

Before she finished speaking, Shen Lin motioned her to lower her head, and saw a slight depression on the oak floor.Situ Xiao just wanted to pounce, but was stopped by Shen Shen: "Be careful of the mechanism."

Shen Lin was undoubtedly the kind of person who would put a dagger under his pillow, so he would naturally set up a mechanism in the dark compartment of the study.The two first sealed their mouths and noses, and then pushed down the piece of oak with the paperweight on the table.

Halfway through the push, silver needles shot out crackling, and all fell on the glazed paperweight.It was only at this time that Situ Xiao felt scared, and looked at Shen Shen with a little admiration, but saw that his face was normal, and he quickly took out the things under the wooden board.

"This is..." Situ Xiao took a closer look, then covered his mouth and screamed silently, Shen Shen was also stunned by the dazzling blood, and the paper slipped from his hand and landed on the oak floor , only the bright red "Blood Deed of Life and Death" four characters are distinct.

"Why did the doctor sign this contract with him?" Situ Xiao managed to calm down, picked up the bloody page and turned it over and over again, "The one written in ink on the back should be the original prescription..."

"It's the handle." Shen Shen said suddenly, "This is the handle the doctor left in father's hands."

***

Shen Shen walked quickly into the mourning hall, and it happened to be a quarter of an hour before the auspicious time.He called "Father" faintly to Shen Lin, and put the stone into Chen Qiaoyue's coffin.

Master Ru Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. No one else at the funeral would have thought that in just two quarters of an hour, Chen Qiaoyue's son and righteous sister turned Shen Lin's study upside down. Only Zhong Wan watched for a long time. With a heavy look, he felt something was wrong.

After the funeral, all the guests left one after another.Zhong Wan and Wan Fangyuan walked to the gate of the villa, but they heard a disciple shouting behind them: "Senior Zhong, Grandmaster Wan, please stay!"

It was a young man from Beidou Mountain Villa who came, he looked a few years younger than Shen Chen, but he was very calm, he saluted without being humble, and said: "He Mei at Xia Beidou Mountain Villa, the owner invites you two to go to the study."

Zhong Wan thought about Shen Lin's great interest, his wife finished the funeral and was still in the mood to chat with others.Wan Fangyuan didn't seem very willing, He Mei continued: "Master Liang, Master Mingxuan is also waiting inside."

In this way, they have no reason not to go.The two returned to the villa again, and when they arrived at Tianxuan Tower, He Mei stopped Zhong Wan and said, "The owner of the villa said that Master Wan can go alone."

Zhong Wan was puzzled: "Then I went back?"

But He Mei shook her head: "Someone will pick up Senior Zhong later."

Although Zhong Wan was young, his martial arts were already outstanding, Wan Fangyuan wasn't worried about what would happen to him, but he just told him not to run around and cause trouble, so he followed He Mei away.

Zhong Wan waited boredly at the gate of Tianxuan Tower by himself. After waiting for a while, he squatted down and counted the ants on the ground, thinking: "It is said that someone came to pick me up, but there is no one here except Shen Chen and Shen Lin." I know, who can I call to pick me up..."

The ants on the ground seemed to smell something sweet, and then crawled in one direction.Zhong Wan followed them boredly, and walked around for a long time, forgetting Wan Fangyuan's words "don't run around casually" - anyway, it's a big deal, just secretly find Shen Chen to take him back.

The group of ants crawled into a secluded courtyard, stopped, and circled around a pear tree in the courtyard.I don't know why there are no disciples here. Zhong Wan became curious and looked around for no one, so he took a branch and dug a few times in the soil.

Half of the oil paper was faintly exposed in the soil. Before he could see what it was, he heard someone behind him calling him: "... Zhong Wan? Why did you come here? Who brought you here?"

The person who came was Shen Shen.
