Liu Xiangnan quickly sat up from the bed and put on his clothes, then saw Lu Xiangbei sitting in a wheelchair, basking in the sun. The orange-red sunlight shone on his face, giving him a feeling of peace and tranquility.
"woke up?"
As if hearing the sound of her footsteps, Lu Xiangbei turned his head and looked at her.
"Um."
She walked forward and asked, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Lu Xiangbei gave her an ambiguous look and said, "Of course I want you to sleep a little longer."
When Liu Xiangnan thought about the absurdity of last night, he felt embarrassed.
She cleared her throat and found an excuse to put the matter aside for the time being.
After breakfast, the driver came over and said everything was ready.
Only then did Lu Xiangbei let Liu Xiangnan push her to Jiang Mingyue's grave.
Liu Xiangnan knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed three times.
She picked up the wine that Lu Xiangbei had prepared, poured it in front of the grave, and talked about some past events between the master and the disciple. Then, she looked at Lu Xiangbei and lowered her head to continue talking.
"Lu Xiangbei has been very good to me. I am very happy. Please forgive him for not being able to kneel down and pay homage to you in person. When his leg is 'healed,' I will personally bring him over to pay homage to you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiangbei couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips at Liu Xiangnan's choice of words.
My courage is growing.
However, he also said some words of apology to Jiang Mingyue, and when the paper was burned, the two left.
"It's time to go back."
After paying tribute to Jiang Mingyue, the two of them had nothing else to do in the village.
When we left, Grandma Zhang and others came to see us off.
At this time, Grandma Zhang's son looked at Liu Xiangnan and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Liu Xiangnan thought Uncle Zhang had something to hide, "Uncle Zhang, if you have something to say, just say it."
"Shonan..."
Uncle Zhang hesitated for a while, and finally told Liu Xiangnan what he had seen that year.
"In fact, Taoist Jiang... was murdered."
Liu Xiangnan's ears were buzzing as if something had exploded.
"Uncle Zhang, what did you say?"
She trembled slightly and looked at him in disbelief.
My adoptive father told me that Master was eaten by those animals because he was old and had difficulty moving.
But Uncle Zhang said that her master's death was not simple?
Uncle Zhang probably said the most difficult things, so he just told everything he saw and knew.
"Master Jiang was indeed murdered by someone. There were four or five people from that side, both men and women. Their accents didn't sound like they were from City A. They said something about the 'Jin Family of Kyoto'. I didn't dare listen to the rest because they looked difficult to deal with. I was afraid of getting into trouble, so, so..."
Liu Xiangnan understood what Uncle Zhang said.
This is human nature.
When faced with unknown danger, people always want to escape.
She couldn't say that the other person was selfish or cowardly. After all, everyone has their own choices.
It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.
"At first I thought they were here to settle some matter with Master Jiang, and since they looked like they were not someone to be trifled with, I left. Later, I called my mom and found out that Master Jiang had died. The date was the day the group arrived..."
Liu Xiangnan shuddered. It had been four years since his master passed away, and the evidence should have disappeared. If he was really murdered, it would be difficult to investigate.
Who on earth wanted to kill her master?
Lu Xiangbei felt the slight trembling of Liu Xiangnan's body and knew that she was afraid and uncomfortable.
So he held her hand and looked up at Uncle Zhang.
"Uncle Zhang, do you still remember what those people looked like?"
"I don't remember clearly, but I remember there was a particularly fat man and a woman carrying two swords."
Lu Xiangbei murmured, "I'll ask a professional painter to come over later. I'll have to trouble Uncle Zhang to help me recall the past."
"good!"
Lu Xiangbei is the god of wealth in their village, so Uncle Zhang naturally doesn't want to offend him.
Naturally, the request for the road to face north will be granted.
Knowing that Jiang Mingyue was not killed by old age or sickness, but was murdered by someone, Liu Xiangnan and Lu Xiangbei stayed in the village and waited for the portrait artist to arrive.
After the portrait artist drew four portraits that were most consistent with Uncle Zhang's description, he handed them to Lu Xiangbei.
Lu Xiangbei put it away and prepared to have someone check it with the public security system after returning.
"I want to go and see my master's house."
Lu Xiangbei did not stop her, but went with her.
The house, which had not been lived in for four years, was full of dust. The dust was so thick that Liu Xiangnan couldn't help coughing a few times as soon as he entered.
There was too much dust, so she wouldn't let Lu Xiangbei come in again.
I went to check out the things in the room.
After a careful look, some problems naturally emerged.
She walked to the place where the incense burner was placed in the main hall. According to her memory of the furnishings in Jiang Mingyue's house, there should be a portrait of Yuanshi Tianzun here.
But the portrait was gone, and judging from the thick dust on other parts of the table, where the portrait was placed, the dust was less, it could be seen that it was taken away later.
Other daily necessities and magical instruments are still there.
Liu Xiangnan pursed his lips and walked out.
"What did you find?"
Liu Xiangnan frowned: "The image of Yuanshi Tianzun that my master was hanging is gone. Perhaps my master has some secret."
But the master didn't tell her.
Lu Xiangbei held her hand and said, "Let's wait until we find these two people, then we can ask them. I guess you won't be able to figure it out even if you think about it now."
