In the end, under Lin Yiyuan's guidance, the Lan brother and sister prepared to pay a visit to the old blind man and let him lead the way to look for Hou Benchu's corpse. However, the brother and sister were not familiar with the old blind man, so they could only beg Lin Yiyuan to be his middleman in order to facilitate this matter.

The next morning, Lan Yanxi drove to find Lin Yiyuan, and the two of them got on the carriage to Resting Mausoleum Garden.

As usual, the old blind man took a broom and aimlessly swept the fallen leaves on the ground. His expression was very serene, no different from that of an ordinary old man, but all of this was just an appearance. If outsiders knew the old blind man's background, then the number of people who came to sweep the tomb would be greatly reduced.

"Old sir! We meet again. "

greeted respectfully as he walked closer.

The old blind man did not know about what happened last night, but he had already planned this out. He thought that Lin Yiyuan would never stand by the sidelines and use a soul gathering method to help the Lan brother and sister.

"You're here!" Since you are here, I believe that Fellow Taoist Lin has already solved your confusion, so there's no need to thank me anymore, I do not care about this. "

The old blind man was still trying to put on an act despite being kept in the dark. However, he did not know that his current appearance was extremely laughable.

"Cough, cough!"

With a dry cough, Lin Yiyuan said: "It's this kind of old senior, I didn't really help much because last night Mr. Blue found a letter among my mother's remnants. The words on the letter were very clear, reminding me of what senior had said before."

Other people might not feel much about Lin Yiyuan's words, but the old blind man had a different feeling when he heard them. He was obviously sarcastic towards the old blind man, and Lin Yiyuan was mocking him for his lies earlier.

"Um … small forest, come here for a moment!"

The old blind man was extremely embarrassed as he turned around and walked to the side, avoiding Lan Yanxi.

"What?"

Following closely behind, he arrived at a quiet place. Lin Yiyuan pretended not to know his question.

The old blind man stuttered, "I didn't lie to you before, but this incident at the Hou clan was too outrageous. The old blind man stuttered," I didn't mean to lie to you before, but this incident at the Hou clan was too outrageous.

Since he mentioned the matter from before, Lin Yiyuan did not mind to ask one more question: "How do you know about the Hou Family?"

Just when the old blind man thought it through, he decided to no longer hide what had happened that year from Lin Yiyuan. He said, "At that time, Hou Benchu was not completely dead, and I had originally wanted to save him.

"Before he died, he entrusted me with a task. He told me to take his backpack back to the capital, to the Hou clan, and also explained the circumstances of his home. Later on, I buried him on the spot and took away his backpack. When I went back, I discovered that in addition to the sheepskin scroll, there was also a small book and a few letters."

After looking through these letters, I found out that the sheepskin scroll was related to the Ten Directions Large Formation, which was why I wanted to find the other half of the sheepskin scroll that Fan Dahu stole, in order to revive Hua Li.

"Originally, I had planned to help Hou Benchu fulfill his last wish, but since he was still alive, I had to take care of his corpse as soon as possible, so I did not immediately descend the mountain. After a year, when everything was settled, I brought Hua Li out of the mountain, my main goal was to find Fan Dahu and report to the Hou Family. But when I arrived at the capital, the Hou Family was already empty, but I did not give up on the search, until not long ago …"

At this point, there was no need for the old blind man to hide anything. Thus, he began to pour out all the information at once, like a bunch of beans being poured.

"Have you never thought of returning the ancient goatskin scroll to me?"

After some thought, Lin Yiyuan looked at the old blind man with a profound look.

The old blind man nodded his head and said: "I would be lying if I said I didn't think about it, but I did not think that I would monopolize the ancient goatskin scroll s, since this thing was given to the Hou Family by the great Master Zhang Bichen of the Dao Sect, it was only half lost in my hands, if I can't get it back, won't I feel guilty?"

He clearly wanted to occupy the ancient goatskin scroll s, but when his words reached the old blind man's mouth, he had reason and his false face was exposed under the sunlight. However, the reason why he said it so clearly was also because he trusted Lin Yiyuan and believed that Lin Yiyuan would not make things difficult for him.

"I was too lazy to bother about your matters, furthermore, Hou Benchu entrusted you with it. I was not present, so I did not mind it, but you are already an old senior.

Although Lin Yiyuan did not deliberately make things difficult for the old blind man, it was still necessary to place some moral pressure on him.

"How could I do that? Furthermore, now that the Hou Family is on the verge of death, even if we hand this thing over to them, whether or not they can keep it safe is a piece of cake, let alone make use of it. Comparatively speaking, putting it in my hands would be twice the result with half the effort.

Although the old blind man's words were a little shameless, it was undeniable that it was better to let him take care of the ancient goatskin scroll. On one hand, the Lan brother and sister could use his power to search for a way to save the clan.

"Then I'll be waiting for you!"

Without saying anything else, Lin Yiyuan lifted his head and looked at the nearby Lan Yanxi who was eagerly awaiting his arrival. He raised his hand and beckoned: "Come over here!"

Lan Yanxi, who was already extremely anxious, immediately walked forward as he looked at Lin Yiyuan with a perturbed expression, wanting to know what this meant. Lin Yiyuan did not disappoint him, so he slightly nodded his head, and in the blink of an eye, looked at the old blind man.

"It's like this. Mr. Blue knew that senior knows the whereabouts of his father, so he wanted to ask for your help to lead the way. After completing the task, we calculated a portion of his merits.

Lin Yiyuan did not mention about the reward on purpose, but only brought up the matter of merits, clearly showing it for the old blind man to hear.

Lan Yanxi was rather generous and added immediately: "If old senior can help, then you are my Lan family's great benefactor. If you have any requests, I will do my best to fulfill them. I will never go back on my words!"

Even though the matter of leading the way was already within the Old Blind's expectations, he had already made preparations when he gave pointers to the Lan brother and sister. However, the old blind man was currently troubled with trivial matters, and in four days, Fan Jianren was going to bring him to the Fan family. This matter had to do with the other half of the scroll.

It's like this, this old man is willing to help, but there are still a few matters that I have yet to resolve. How about this, this old man will give you an accurate time limit, at most half a month, or at most until the end of the year.

The old blind man wasn't sure if the following events would go smoothly, so he gave a rather conservative answer.

Even though Lan Yanxi was extremely impatient, but he could not say anything about how it would be difficult for him to do it for personal reasons. If that were the case, the old blind man would get into a fluster, and it would be unsightly to kick him out, so he had to be patient.

"Alright, it's a deal then. At that time, I will have to trouble senior. Therefore, I will thank you here first!"

Lan Yanxi's tone was very humble, giving the old blind man enough face.

After settling the matter of going to the Lingnan, Lin Yiyuan and Lan Yanxi did not linger, and went down the mountain after bidding farewell to the old blind man.
