Based on the dating, this photo was taken at least eighty years ago. Taking photos in that era was not something ordinary people could do.
Although Ling Xiaoxiao is naive, she is not stupid either. She thought of many things the first time she saw the photo.
In the photo, Master Miaohui is not bald, but has the fashionable swallowtail hairstyle at that time. She is wearing a cheongsam with embroidered clouds. She is sitting on a chair and holding a bundle in her arms. Baby in swaddling.
Behind her, stood a tall young man. The man was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and had a straight waist. Although his face was scratched in the photo, judging from his posture, his temperament was clear. They shouldn't look bad.
"Is this man a heartless man who abandoned his master? It seems that his master was living a good life at the foot of the mountain..."
In the photo, there is a talented man and a beautiful woman, and a happy family of three The photos were almost overflowing. Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't believe that the man would really abandon Master Miaohui.
Ling Xiaoxiao observed the photo carefully and suddenly discovered a small detail.
The baby in Master Miaohui’s arms had a small piece of broken jade hanging on it.
The broken jade is obviously some kind of token and is very representative. Maybe the children who are looking for Master Miaohui in the future can identify themselves through the broken jade.
While Ling Xiaoxiao was flipping through the diary, he suddenly heard Yan Shouyi’s voice coming from outside the Sutra Pavilion:
“Junior sister Ling! Are you here? I promise if you are. Say, I have something urgent to come to see you!"
Ling Xiaoxiao put the photo back in the diary and stuck his head out of the window with the diary between his legs: "I'm here!"
"You come down and talk first!"
"Okay!"
Ling Xiaoxiao walked briskly, "floating" from the second floor to the first floor. After walking out of the Sutra Collection Pavilion, Before she could speak, Yan Shouyi asked:
"What did you discover?"
Ling Xiaoxiao quickly handed over the diary: "There was a big discovery. ! This is Master’s diary!”
Diary?
Yan Shouyi was overjoyed. This diary must contain many secrets and could solve most of his confusions.
He took the diary, flipped through it quickly, and asked Ling Xiaoxiao:
"Is there a specific time in the diary when Master Miaohui was abandoned?"
This Ling Xiaoxiao remembered, she replied: "I remember it was 1928."
"1928..."
Yan Shou paused I scrolled through the pages and did some calculations in my mind., suddenly stunned.
Eighty-seven years have passed since Master Miaohui was tragically abandoned!
It coincides with the time when Houshan’s body died!
He felt that he was getting closer to the truth, but he still lacked the most critical direct evidence.
Maybe you can find something in the diary!
He continued to flip through the diary as quickly as possible. As he was flipping through the diary, a black and white photo fell out of the diary.
With one quick glance, Yan Shou caught the photo before it hit the ground.
He glanced at the contents of the photo, not missing any detail.
The next second——
“Found it...”
Yan Shou let out a long breath, as if a high school student had solved the problem A complex math problem.
He already knew all the truth, but when he learned the truth, he was not happy at all. His expression was very complicated.
“Senior Brother Yan, what did you find?” Ling Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"Hey, fate has its way with people!"
Yan Shouyi sighed and said to Ling Xiaoxiao: "You don't need to go to the Scripture Deposit Pavilion, continue talking to Senior Brother Yan Let's look for the Lotus Formation Eye together. I...I'll go find my aunt."
At this point, it seems that there is no need to hide the truth from the two old people.
Yan Shouyi’s original plan was to quietly go to the abandoned theater to find Master Miaohui after breaking through the lotus formation, and kill her directly without giving her a chance to resist.
Anyway, Grandma and the others don’t know that Master Miaohui is still alive. It would be too cruel to ask them to accept their master’s fake death and blackening, and then let them experience the separation between master and disciple again.
But the situation is different now. Yan Shouyi understands the truth and knows that things can turn around, so his approach does not need to be so extreme.
Ling Xiaoxiao pursed her lips a little angrily and said seriously:
"Senior Brother Yan, I am also the future leader of the Emei Sect. What can I do? I can't listen?"
Yan Shouyi was stunned when he heard this, and frankly said that he still treats Ling Xiaoxiao as a little girl, and has never thought about discussing anything with her. Big deal.
However, Ling Xiaoxiao’s airy look now really makes him look like the heir to the throne.
Most of the time, people can only mature after being injured. This shows how much the Emei sect was exterminated this time, which brought a lot of changes to Ling Xiaoxiao.
“Okay, then you go and inform my grandma and little aunt and ask them to go to the back mountain as soon as possible.”
“Okay!”
Ling Xiao Xiao smiled sweetly and "floated" to find Master Guanyun and the others.
Yan Shouyi once again rode on Zhu Shan Zao, transformed into the wrath of the North, and rushed back to the back mountain in a hurry.
The skeletons in the back mountain were vital evidence, and he was afraid that something might happen to the evidence while he was away.
Fortunately, when he rushed back, Zhuge Ji and others stood by dutifully, and the thirteen skeletons were not moved at all.
Zhuge Ji and Yan Nanfei were analyzing the life experiences of these skeletons.
Zhuge Ji believes that there should have been a demon monk on Mount Emei, and these bones are all the "medicine primers" used by the demon monk in his practice. After all, there were many instances of human sacrifices in history.
Yan Nanfei believed that these children got lost in the mountains because of their playfulness, and eventually all starved to death. His speculation was also possible, as it was common for people to starve to death in that era.
However, both of them lacked solid evidence, and neither was convinced by the other, and they kept arguing.
It was simple for Tian Jue'er. She squatted aside and gnawed on the wild fruit that Lele had just picked. When she took a bite, the juice splashed out. However, Tian Jue'er made no chewing movements after that. She hesitated. After a few seconds, he spit out the pulp in his mouth, and then gave Lele a good beating.
Bah, this fruit doesn’t taste good at all!
Lele had half a wooden fish on his head, sharing a lot of damage with it.
When several people saw Yan Shou coming back, they all stood up as soon as possible. Yan Nanfei said:
"Brother Yan, regarding these bones, Zhuge Ji and I I have different opinions, would you like to listen?"
Yan Nanfei is a member of the Kunlun Yan family and is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, while Zhuge Ji is a Observer of Heaven, and both of them can be regarded as think-tank talents. Therefore, they dislike each other and have to convince each other before they give up.
They originally wanted to ask Yan Shouyi to comment, but unexpectedly Yan Shouyi waved his hand and said:
"You don't need to say anything, I have determined the truth of the matter."
"Are you sure? How are you sure?" The two asked in unison, puzzled.
Yan Shouyi deliberately kept it secret: "We can't say it yet, we have to wait for two people."
"Who is it?"
Before he finished speaking , Ling Xiaoxiao led Wen Yuxian and Master Guanyun to the scene.
Yan Shouyi stopped smiling: "Here we come."
