Dreaming of the Jianghu, Leaving Fragrance Everywhere: A Chu Liuxiang Fanfiction Contest

"Meeting you is my destined destiny" ——The first encounter and separation in midsummer. Meeting you, remembering you, missing you, and waiting for you are my destiny. The flowers in late spring, embellished on the girl's skirt, gradually fade away. The mood of summer is getting strong, and in the campus full of green trees, the school bell suddenly rang, causing shallow ripples on the intertwined lines of time and space. The girl who was still holding a few books in her arms raised her head when she heard the sound. In an instant, her eyes met the young man who had just come out of the building in the distance. After looking at each other for a moment, the young man smiled politely, lowered his eyes and nodded. The girl looked at his face seriously, but never took away her focused gaze. "Sir, it seems that the destiny child of this world has not deviated from the world line!" The book spirit, invisible to others, held the "Record of Destiny" in his hand, shook his orange plush fur, stood beside the girl's pretty skirt, and tried his best to keep his small eyes wide open. "Half and half, I seem to have seen him somewhere." Shu Ling half-squinted his little eyes, "Sir, this kind of pick-up language has been out of fashion for a long time!" The girl looked at it with a helpless smile, but her expression seemed confused for a moment. A corner of the street. Fluffy Banban suddenly jumped up while holding "The Road of Destiny", "Sir! The destiny line of this world has suddenly deviated again!" "Didn't you just say that everything was fine?" The girl's voice was urgent. Not far away, an out-of-control vehicle hit the girl's direction. The girl raised her head suddenly, and before she could cry out, the boy who just now had already rushed toward her. The passing vehicle stirred up a gust of wind, and the girl could hardly open her eyes. She only knew that at the moment of crisis, she seemed to have fallen into a familiar embrace. "Are you okay?" After a moment, the young man looked down at her, his voice gentle, but there was uneasiness in his eyes. He was so startled that his eyes were half big and one was small, half grabbing "The Road to Destiny", and with a childish voice, he said urgently, "Sir! This way of striking up a conversation is not as good as the last one! Eh? Sir, the fate of this world seems to be back on track -" Under the trees on the street, a boy and a girl who had just recovered from the shock hugged each other. The midsummer sunshine fell from the lush leaves of the forest, forming dots of light on the ground. Suddenly there was an exclamation from the side. The boy's friend came a step late and only saw the two people hugging each other, "You said you don't have a girlfriend!" The girl hurriedly raised her head. Under her soft hair, the tips of her ears were a little red... After hurriedly thanking and saying goodbye, the girl turned and left. The book in her arms was accidentally left on the roadside. The young man bent down, picked up the book, and opened the title page. He originally wanted to find the girl's name, but unexpectedly found that every page in the beautifully bound book was blank. The young man was surprised, but he felt that both this book and the person just now were so familiar, as if he had been waiting for a long time for her to appear... The next day, in the afternoon, there was the sound of cicadas chirping. The girl who had changed into a casual outfit stood in the shade of the tree and looked at the boy who was on the basketball court. "Sir, if we get that book back, we can return to the Realm of Destiny." Banban jumped up and said. The girl nodded and just about to speak, the boy who just dunked had already strode over. "You're here." He looked at her with a smile, and there was no trace of unfamiliarity in his eyes. The boy's friend was left on the court, as if he had discovered a new world. He was about to exclaim, but suddenly he saw that the face of the girl now was not the same as the one yesterday. The joke was stuck in his throat. My friend's eyes widened in disbelief and he was speechless for a while. The wordless book was never carried by the boy. The two smiled at each other and quickly made an appointment to meet in the library tomorrow. When we met again at the agreed place in the afternoon of the next day, the girl was already wearing a college-style school uniform and dress, with soft hair falling on her bow tie. She raised her head and looked at him, her eyebrows curved. Even though her appearance changed, he was still the first to see her face in the crowd. The young man raised his hand and gently placed the wordless book in front of the girl. "Give it back to you." Just looking at her, he couldn't help but smile. His voice was clear and clear, like spring water hitting a stone. She stood up in a hurry, hugged the book and nodded to him to thank him. "Want to go for a walk?" The young man's eyes were clear and before he finished speaking, suddenly, his friend stumbled over with a stack of books in his arms. When the friend was panting and put the pile of books on the table, he raised his head and suddenly found that beside the boy was the delicate but unfamiliar face of a third girl. The friend was almost stunned. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed at the boy in disbelief. The equally shocked girl and boy: "..." A distant bell seemed to ring. The next second, the girl came back to her senses, her cheeks flushed, and she ran away holding the book. Without thinking, the young man turned around and chased after him. Banban, who was lying on the library table, was stunned. The fluffy book spirit jumped down in a hurry, chasing him and shouting: "Sir, wait for Banban!" As he ran, he accidentally knocked over his friend's pile of books. When the young man found her, she was standing under the shade of the trees, waiting for him. When their eyes met, she immediately bent her eyes. Fate arranged for them to meet each other, allowing her to meet him again and again. The encounter lasted only a few days, but it seemed as long as a lifetime, which made him miss him alone during the time after separation. She left in a hurry, not even having time to say goodbye. That short-lived love was still vivid and nostalgic in his heart. A continuous drizzle, midsummer is gone, frost leaves are like flowers, and autumn is gradually dyeing. The distant bell rang, and the hands coincided with twelve o'clock at midnight. The friend screamed, "When did I borrow so many books from the library and not return them?" The young man raised his head, and there was still a clear picture in his mind of the book spirit half knocking the pile of books away from the girl's back. His expression was slightly startled. When I wake up from the fairy tale dream at twelve o'clock in the night, the memories that others have witnessed have disappeared... Who can stop the hands of the clock at the origin? Outlined in the mirror of the fantasy world, in the mirror is his eyes gazing at her. When she came back to her senses, she saw his name accidentally falling on her fingertips. At this moment, she found that she missed him so much. Just when she was missing him while standing on the endless steps of the realm of destiny, he was looking at her from afar in the three thousand mortal world, just like the first time he saw her in the midsummer of that year. It's rare to have deep love, but the fate is shallow... It's another time of midsummer and fleeting time. Time is ruthless, but it is also affectionate. On the street in the old days, the green branches and leaves of the tree were more numerous. When we reunited a few years later, the boy he once was had grown up, and his handsome features and eyes were still vaguely familiar. "You appeared mysteriously in the summer, and then suddenly disappeared from me." The girl in Yun Shang and Feather Clothes opened her eyes wide and seemed to be stunned for a moment. The man's eyes were as bright as stars, and he stretched out his hand towards the girl in front of him. Even though her appearance changed, in his eyes, she remained the same as before. When she hesitantly came closer to him, she squeezed gently but firmly. She fell into that familiar embrace, their fingers intertwined, and her skirts fluttered in the midsummer breeze. "The first time I saw you, I knew——" "My destiny is to meet you that summer." All the waiting is to meet you again.

Jianghu Mengyi ——"In the dream, Wudang bids farewell to thousands of miles and travels alone to taste the sword and ask Huashan. It is just like a bottle of rivers and lakes returning a bottle of young people." In the human world, the seventeenth day of the first lunar month of the Wuxu year, light rain Palace of Eternal Life, July 18th, Xinsi Year, End of Summer I was in Wudang when I went online, and the huge heavenly instrument was operating as usual, as if the joys and sorrows of the world all had their own destiny. Stepping on the sword to reach the sky and walking across the mountains and rivers were just a passing scene in the destiny. There is metabolism in the human world, and the comings and goings create the past and the present. Of course the last time I went offline was here. At that time, there was another person beside me. During the Lantern Festival, the lanterns and flowers bloom like daylight. He brought me here to deliver glutinous rice balls filled with sugar and sweet-scented osmanthus to his junior brother. I couldn't find anyone for a long time, but finally the rice dumplings became cheaper for his senior brother. I originally wanted to take him to Jinling City. Earlier, I met a Taoist priest. His mount was a big lantern that could fly up like a hot air balloon. I wanted to take him to see it, steal watermelons, and do lots of fun things. It seems that everything has become different since the two of them played together. Plots, dungeons, equipment, upgrades, these daily fixed tasks when playing alone have become an occasional boring pastime. Everyday life becomes skin. I'm so happy about it. Stealing watermelons, hitting porcelain vendors, no one can defeat him (even the scholar cannot defeat him..., I always jump up to increase his health 233 Someone wants to take advantage of everyone he sees, and after a while, he will be surprised to find that his health bar is empty again. Don't be surprised, just let it go. You can dress up in a maid's clothes and sell watermelons, and you can role-play for an hour. Without being in the situation at that time, I can't think of what we said. I just remember that I was really, really happy at that time. It's really fun to be able to talk sentence by sentence until late at night. He always said that he was a loser. Actually, so am I. But in the arena, during those days or nights, we never seem to be embarrassed, and we have reached a tacit understanding of riding a bull and swimming in the water if we disagree (well-behaved If you don't agree with me, you'll be nice. (My legs are numb... There are two fixed Buddhist health players in the team, which makes me feel wonderful when I think about it. High jumper. A must-have for home and travel. (I can't think of any other advantages besides adding blood to you.) There are always people who want to join the team without knowing the truth. He said that if you join, they will leave on their own. Wudang is indeed not a good person (scheming Taoist priest get It was my first time to go to Shaolin Temple. I actually went to the jumping tower to take photos. I have so many indescribable angles stored in my phone orz It has not been deleted yet. With his head stuck among the lotus flowers, he was swimming in the water. The mountain tops were covered with snow, and the sunset fell onto the lake, a golden red color, as bright as a dream. Yunmeng's turtle lives a long life. This is the first time I checked in at the stone monument and visited here. Later, in Yanzhou and Jinling, they became "my apprentice is the best in the world" and "your apprentice is the best in the world". The style is a bit cute. At that time, I thought, if one day, we are really separated in the vast rivers and lakes, and occasionally pass by these scenery, and look at the words written back then, will we also sigh. Wind, flowers, snow and moon. In the game, it's always dusk or dawn all of a sudden. There is a faint fragrance and sparse shadows, the moonlight is floating, and I am so uneasy in the darkness. I click on the map and look at the little green dot. I know that there is someone to stay up late with me, and I am happy to hide and seek. We met many sunrises together, saw the stars and the river, and had a clear dream. The snow in Huashan Mountain never melts all year round. Two people who are not suitable for fighting spent a long time skiing together on the slopes (/ω\) I remember, you gave me two hibiscus flowers. It's very beautiful, but it's a pity that I can't find it in my backpack so I can't take photos. The wind is a clear song that never stops blowing through the high platform Flowers are broken branches, pink flowers bloom, three hundred poems The snow is accumulated on the account, and the carved bow is opened lazily. The moon is a good night, the clear light is hard to see again this night Wind, flowers, snow and moon. Someone stands with me. The fishermen and woodcutter in the river, the bamboo forest on the mountain top, the beacon fire in the rivers and lakes, and the solitary smoke in the desert are all accompanied by people from now on. At noon, I listened to your Shuangsheng's Ma Bu ballad again. The world is not far away Master keeps talking It's just that every sentence cannot be separated from "back then" Who dared to challenge the martial arts in the imperial city? How many junior sisters and senior sisters did I spend time with under the moon in front of the flowers? I asked why you are living in the countryside now I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered this sentence. There is metabolism in the human world, and the comings and goings create the past and the present. Those rivers and lakes, those people and affairs, sooner or later, are like light, wind and moon, misty clouds, wind and clouds. The master will grow old. When the apprentice grows up, he goes to the spring breeze and the end of the world alone, meeting new people and things. When I woke up from the dream, I still saw the same clothes as before, with my sword flying over thousands of mountains, and a man standing on the bow of the ship. Say to me: "Master, come here quickly, I found that you can see stars here." "Master, I'm skinny again, come here and jump to increase my health." "Master, let's go fight the thieves." "Master, I will rescue you from prison." "Master." A bottle of rivers and lakes, rustling meteors, white horses in the west wind, drawing swords and hitting pillars, singing to the moon. All this prosperity has passed by. Nothing can replace the young man in my heart.

Shangyuan There was a buzz of people outside the house, and the sounds of hawkers could be heard constantly. It was a festive season, and there were many more pedestrians on the road than before, making it very lively. The sound of children playing with lights on came to the window edge, causing Cai Jucheng to frown and impatiently close the bamboo window. Mother Liang sent someone to deliver a bowl of glutinous rice balls. After biting through the glutinous rice skin, the thick black sesame filling flowed into the mouth, filling the entire mouth. However, after the light sweetness, there was a slight hint of bitterness. Cai Jucheng didn't know where the bitterness came from, or he didn't want to think about it deeply. He just thought that the quality of the glutinous rice balls was not good. I clicked my tongue in my heart. He should also be eating glutinous rice balls filled with black sesame seeds at this moment. Cai Jucheng thought so. The hand holding the spoon paused, and he pushed the bowl forward suddenly. He cursed in his mind that he could think of him even after eating glutinous rice balls. Don't forget who expelled him from the school. Thinking of this, the slightly sweet sesame filling is tasteless in the mouth. He doesn't like sweets, but he likes the slightly sweet sesame-filled glutinous rice balls. The cries of the candied haws hawkers downstairs are endless. Cai Jucheng was stunned for a moment, then reflexively opened the window and jumped down lightly. He ignored the hawker's surprised look and casually threw away a few coins. "A few bunches of candied haws." Impatiently, he stretched out his hand to take the candied haws skewers, and was about to turn around, but suddenly paused, looking at his hands in confusion like a child. Cai Jucheng was a little at a loss. He hurriedly caught up with the previous hawker: "Can I still return it?" After finally not retreating, Cai Jucheng thought that it would not be a big deal to return to Dianxiang Pavilion before Liang's mother found out that he had come out. I held the bamboo handles of the candied haws skewers in my hands for a long time, sweating from my palms. I wanted to throw them into the trash can several times, but I took them back. Under the moonlight, the candied haws skewers glowed with a faint white light. Try biting into a candied haws, and when you put it in your mouth, the tip of your tongue immediately overflows with a sweet and sour taste. I have never had such a sweet dessert. Cai Jucheng coughed several times and then stopped. The dim lights are in front, and thousands of families are reunited. Oh, Master must be having the reunion dinner with them, even though he is in the Dianxiang Pavilion filled with gold and jade. The surroundings were filled with the laughter and laughter of passers-by, but Cai Jucheng felt like something was empty in his heart, and a steady stream of bitterness overflowed and swept through his body. He laughed at himself and finally lost the gourd skewer in his hand. The moonlight shattered to pieces and could never be put back together again. All avenues and arenas are just a dream. A dream.

It's Lantern Festival, it's snowing. The snow petals swirled in the direction of the wind, and were coated with orange light under the setting sun, making them warm and peaceful. He raised his hand to touch. But there is only a tiny drop of brilliance left, with an astonishing coolness, Gathering up her outer robe that was blown by the cold wind, Qin Zipei squinted his eyes and looked at the mountains still stained with golden light, and somehow thought of Jiangnan again. There is no guqin playing all day long and the cold fragrance in that place. Instead, there are only the tender and tender Wu Nong tunes played by the boat girls, and the Bell and Drum Tower Street where people sing and dance all day long. The boiling water poured into the cup, and the tea leaves were stirred up in circles along the bottom of the cup. A faint white mist rose up. There was constant noise. People at the next table talked loudly and laughed using foul language. The saliva flew freely. Others were unaware of the occasional specks of white foam on the dishes, but they still put them into their mouths one after another. He frowned slightly and stopped looking. He raised his hand to take a sip from the porcelain cup, but he felt that it was extremely rough and astringent. He didn't know how long it was because it was old tea leaves. What's so good about traveling down the mountain? I don't know why the brothers yearn for it so much. A person by the window suddenly chuckled twice, took a sip of wine and sighed: "It's not good for people to be so picky in the world." When he looked in shock, the man was still looking out the window with his head on his head, with a clear smile on his face. Take a closer look at this person. Although his blue clothes are neat, he still looks simple. His black hair is tied up high. Only the flute around his waist can be played. All in all, there is only one word, shabby. This was naturally for Qin Zipei. In the eyes of ordinary people, although he could not be called a noble man dressed like this, he was still a handsome young man, arousing envy. Qin Zipei averted his eyes and stopped looking at it. He took out a piece of silk from his arms and carefully wiped the silver-gray sword box. The dust on it really made him feel distressed. The man drank all the wine in the pot, called the waiter to pay the bill, grabbed the long sword on the table, put it on his waist, and strode out of the inn, the bright red sword tassel swinging back and forth with his steps. After cleaning the sword box, I left the inn and wanted to find a coachman to rush to my next travel destination. I looked back and saw the blue figure. He squatted half-crouched, looked straight at the street child in front of him, smiled and said something, rubbed the girl's greasy head, handed a bunch of bright red candied haws, and then put the patched money bag in his arms into the girl's hand, patted her shoulder, and turned to leave. The girl hurriedly wiped her dirty hands on her tattered clothes, grabbed his sleeve, and said two words very seriously. He was stunned for a moment, and his smile became brighter. Judging from the shape of his mouth, it seemed to be "thank you." Qin Zipei couldn't help but think of the scene when the sunrise in Wudang Mountain turned the trees into golden color, with the same warmth and sincerity. I couldn't help but smile slightly, this man was actually kind-hearted. Hua Yun obviously has not considered how to continue his career after spending all his wealth, or in other words, he has no such awareness at all, otherwise he would not be in such an embarrassing situation that he found out that he was penniless after eating. Faced with the aggressive and sarcastic waiter, Hua Yun was in trouble. Could it be that he was really performing on the streets as his senior brothers gloated and vowed to do? If the senior sister finds out, how will Bao Buqi laugh at her? "His table is the same as mine." Just as Hua Yun was weighing the difference between "performing on the street" and "eating the King's meal and paying for it next time", a person came in from the door. Hua Yun was overjoyed and immediately admitted that he was the little Taoist priest who "didn't know the sufferings of the world" and "was pampered". The waiter in the shop is also a discerning person. He can tell by looking at his clothes that the person coming is either rich or noble, so he greets the person with a smile and welcomes him to his seat. Qin Zipei looked at the leftovers on the table with some disgust and said, "Take it away and replace it with the ones on the table." After a pause, "Here's another bottle of the best wine." The waiter said "Yes" and went to cook. Hua Yun was still smiling, as if the two of them had never been strangers to each other, "I didn't expect that the little Taoist priest of Wudang is also a person who knows how to eat and drink. I have seen it today." "As for the meal money... Why don't you stay after Huashan and give all the money to me?" Qin Zipei was blaming himself for being so rash. Hearing his words, he won without knowing it. But when he realized that it was not a big deal, he said "no need" and swallowed it like this. However, Hua Yun felt more and more that this person's affability might be due to his inexperience in the world. He also knew that Huashan was the most cash-strapped in the world, and the money borrowed from Huashan was like water being thrown out, and it would be difficult to get through. Immediately, I felt the desire to make friends, "I wonder who the surname is?" The two of them exchanged names, and Hua Yun gradually became more and more familiar with the wine. Hua Yun drank a drop of the new brew introduced by the waiter happily, and his eyes lit up, "This wine is very energetic, and it lives up to its good name." After saying that, he took another sip, "I'm afraid only the Chen Shaonv Real Estate in the west of Jinling City can rival it." Seeing that Qin Zipei was just sipping tea, he understood that Wudang's rule of prohibiting alcohol was meaningless to him and deeply disgusted him, but he still had a bad intention to provoke others, "What's the matter? Is the little Taoist afraid of getting drunk and taking your money? But don't worry, we Huashan people are poor and ambitious, with a righteous attitude and a breeze, we can't kill people and seize treasures." Then he suddenly realized, "Could it be that this good wine was bought just for me? Oh my, Xiaodao is really warm-hearted." Qin Zipei felt his face heat up, glanced at him, lowered his head and drank tea in a muffled voice. No matter how playfully Ren Huayun smiled, he didn't say a word. Seeing this scene, Hua Yun knew that he was thin-skinned and felt ashamed and annoyed. Even though he secretly felt cute, he calmed down his expression and pretended to be serious and asked, "I wonder where the little Taoist leader is going?" There was still a smile that could not be hidden in his words. Qin Zipei could barely maintain his composure on his face and answered, "My sect has been traveling, but there are still Huashan Mountain and Jinling Mountain that I have never been to." Hua Yun was secretly happy that they happened to be traveling together, and his face was back to his old self, "Is it to keep an eye on me? Then I'd better trouble the Taoist Priest to be more careful. Don't let me take the opportunity to escape." Before he could get angry, Qin Zipei said again, "It's freezing in Huashan, so I need to prepare more spicy soup." Then he stopped the idea of making a sword and said, "I don't have to worry about it now, fellow Taoist Hua." Night. Hua Yun stretched out his legs and lay on a high building somewhere in Jinling City, squinting his eyes and feeling the cool night breeze. He looked at Qin Zipei who was sitting cross-legged and meditating next to him and refused to pay attention to him. He knew that he was still annoyed that he had to come up to "see the scenery". He had a headache and held his forehead. He knocked on his forehead with his fingers. Suddenly he remembered the flute at his waist. He jumped up straight, took the flute and put it to his lips. He raised his eyebrows at Qin Zipei and started to play. The sound of the flute is clearer and more melodious, echoing in my ears. Qin Zipei finally relaxed his brows, raised his eyes, and happened to look into the smiling eyes of the young man in Zhilan Yushu. His heart beat suddenly for a few beats. He lowered his eyes in panic, but his ears were faintly pink. When someone tapped him on the shoulder, he was shocked to realize that the sound of the flute had already stopped. "What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in it." Hua Yun was a little curious, and raised his finger to show him, and said with a little pride, "How is it? Does it look good? This is the best place to see the scenery. I have already asked my senior sister about it." Qin Zipei followed the direction of his finger and turned to look—— A large swath of lights rose slowly. They were Kongming lanterns on which countless good wishes were placed. The red candle flames danced, and the warm yellow rice paper shimmered slightly, forming this incomparably brilliant sea of lights. It is denser than the stars, covering up the brilliance of the cold moon. It is so shocking that it gradually drifts along with the wind, and it seems that it will never see its end. "Today is the Lantern Festival, the day of reunion." The lights reflected the light in his eyes, and it was the first time he called his name so seriously, "Zipei, happy Lantern Festival." "Junior brother, it's your turn to patrol the night today." The red clouds in the sky faded, Qin Zipei came back to his senses and responded, still thinking about his words in his heart. Today is still the Lantern Festival. I wonder if you and I can get together again? He shook his head with a wry smile and went back to the house to light the lamp, but he heard the voice that he had been thinking about day and night for a year, revealing a smile that could not be concealed no matter what. "It's the Lantern Festival, I wonder if you, little Taoist, would be kind enough to share a drink with me at the Chenshao Jurchen in the west of Jinling City?"

"Why do I feel that this world is different from what others say..." Ye Shiyi said as she squatted on the roof of Linglongfang and gnawed on the melon she had just stolen. "What's different?" Senior Sister Ah Jiu asked vaguely as she squatted next to her and gnawed on a watermelon. "Aren't the rivers and lakes full of dangers, and then we go on to do chivalry and righteousness..." Ye Shiyi asked casually while chewing on the watermelon. "Emmm... Have you forgotten the last time you went to the Mai Holy Cult and was beaten into a dog?" Senior Sister Ajiu replied casually while chewing on the watermelon. "Eat melon, eat melon... Even if you eat melon, your mouth won't be blocked!" The world in Ye Shili's eyes - stealing melons, visiting the incense pavilion, sitting in jail, chopping firewood, fishing, riding bulls, teasing handsome guys... Ah Jiu: This is not because... You are a scumbag!

Even though she has given up, she can't help but think of her, just like Su Rongrong after leaving him. That man, dressed in white, gently swaying his folding fan to bring out the slight wind, seems to be deeply engraved in my heart. I think of it from time to time, and it is always so clear. He is a legend in the world. He is handsome and handsome, and has a fragrance when he steps on the moon. He is admired by countless women; and her gentle temperament is not surprising among the many beauties surrounding him. He fell in love with that mysterious woman in linen clothes, and Zhenzhi fell in love with her. She had not expected that, after all, in addition to being gentle, she was indeed an intelligent woman. Farewell to the Central Plains, it seems that it is not myself who is traveling, but my uncontrollable heart, not knowing where I am going or when I will return. The spring and autumn years passed by slowly, and she did not expect that the reunion would come so suddenly. On the ninth day of September, the Wudang Library was stolen and the master was injured and fell into a coma. The adoptive father had some friendship with Master Xiao and went to visit him, taking her with him just for fun. There was an old and crooked peach tree in Qiongtai Temple. Through the falling peach petals, several people were sitting around the table. She recognized him just by his silhouette, still dressed in white and looking very handsome. She was still hesitant to enter when he spotted her and she had no choice but to walk forward. He smiled as before and said, "Rong Rong, long time no see." "Sir, are you alright?" The two of them were talking to each other. It felt familiar, as if they had not been separated for two years, but it was not the same as before. They said "Long time no see" and "you are alright", and then there was nothing to say. "Hey, we haven't seen each other for a long time, Rongrong has become beautiful again!" There were many people present, so Hu Tiehua interrupted again, saving the two of them from embarrassment. Jin Lingzhi kicked Hu Tiehua from under the table and said, "You are so glib, please speak more seriously!" Hu Tiehua jumped away and said: "Oh, Miss Jin, if you don't stay well in Wanfu Wanshou Garden, why are you coming here with us? Besides, I am telling the truth, why are you kicking me!" Jin Lingzhi kicked him in the air, got up and chased after him, "I'm going to kick you again today!" The two left arguing. "Sister Rongrong, sit down quickly." The woman in blue, who was sitting at the same table but had never spoken, poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Su Rongrong, "Come and try this authentic Wudang Taihe tea!" The woman had a beautiful face and was full of hospitality. "Boy! The tea I brought made you a good person, and you used it to please other girls!" The man in Wudang Taoist uniform said with a smile. The two men were about forty. They were dressed in Taoist uniforms and were extremely easy-going. The women were not nearly as young as ten. They were pretty and charming. The two seemed to have a close friendship. Su Rongrong didn't know these two people, she looked confused and said, "I don't know you two?" "He is the junior brother of Head Xiao, Xiao Chengwen. I am Bai Jing, the mirror of the mirror. Sister Rongrong, just call me Xiao Jing." The woman introduced very actively. "I'm sorry Rongrong is blind, but I don't recognize Taoist Xiao." Su Rongrong greeted Xiao Chengwen and smiled back at Bai Jing. "Miss Su, are you here to investigate the case?" Xiao Chengwen asked. "Many parties are involved in this case, and my adoptive father and I can't calm down. We hope that it can be resolved as soon as possible." Su Rongrong took the tea cup and took a sip, feeling relaxed and happy. "It's just that the Sutra Pavilion is heavily guarded. If such a place is stolen, the primary suspect is always the young master. But for some reason, I heard that the young man with a thousand faces was overshadowed by the young master this time." Su Rongrong said frankly. "This matter is complicated. I still have some things to deal with. Ju He can talk to you." Xiao Chengwen stood up, said to Xiao Juhe on the side and left. "It was said to be stolen, but nothing was actually lost in the library." Xiao Ju paused and sighed, "This is something to be happy about. However, there are indeed signs that the library has been rummaged through. It should be that the thief was captured by Chen Jude before he found what he was looking for. The younger brother found out, so he killed his junior brother, but he alerted Master Xiao who was patrolling at night. This man disappeared in a blink of an eye. Then he heard the sound of fighting and rushed to the Changhuan Hall where the master was retreating, only to find that the master was unconscious due to poisoning and the thief was nowhere to be found. " "Junior brother died from a special plum blossom needle, but the poison tempered on the plum blossom needle was Anxiang Pavilion's unique secret medicine - Dark Flower. Therefore, the spearhead of this matter was pointed at Anxiang Pavilion, which is inseparable from good and evil." After Xiao Juhe gave a brief introduction to the case, he added: "Thousand-faced Xiaosheng Bai Qian, this person was knocked unconscious and replaced as the top flower in Jiangnan at the Liyuan Lantern Festival in Jiangnan last year. Dan Mu Xiaoyan sang the song "The Peony Pavilion" and became famous in one fell swoop. He is very good at disguise and has good skills in the pear garden. He is good at imitating other people's manners. Although his lightness skills are not as good as Xiangshuai's, he is also one of the best in the world. In the past two years, Su Rongrong didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the world, but she knew about the Liyuan Lantern Festival. It is said that the song Peony Pavilion was sung extremely well. After that, Mu Xiaoyan competed with her and she felt ashamed. She has not returned to the stage in seclusion. Later, Qianmian Xiaosheng stayed in the Jiangnan Opera Troupe for several months and performed for a million dollars. A few days later, a man from the wealthy businessman's house came to visit. He confessed that he was Bai Qian and was actually behind the man. He showed off his Qinggong skills and walked away. At this point, everyone in the troupe knew that Bai Qian, who had been a leading actress for several months, was a man. The incident ended absurdly, and Bai Qian disappeared. Five or six days have passed since the case occurred, and clues at the scene are hard to find. After some discussion, everyone concluded that the time had come. Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua went to the Sutra Pavilion to look for clues. Jin Lingzhi didn't care about the case and took Su Rongrong and Bai Jing to watch the sunset. Bai Jing hummed a little tune, with a soft voice and a gentle melody, which seemed to be a Jiangnan tune. The three of them spent a lot of effort to reach the top of the mountain. Wudang has beautiful scenery and the sunset is also very beautiful. When they returned to their residence at the foot of the mountain, it was getting late, and lights were lit everywhere in Wudang. The three of them took a rest after eating. Tonight, on the 15th, the moonlight was bright, and when it was almost midnight, the room was bright. Su Rongrong was still awake while thinking about the clues to the case. The poison of the dark flower in Anxiang Pavilion seals the throat when blood is seen. People will have no symptoms when they first die of poisoning. Orchid patterns will appear on the skin a day later, but this poison is never spread to outsiders. If you use this poisonous angle to investigate the case, you may gain something. A figure flashed past the window paper very quickly, but Su Rongrong recognized it as the young master. What's wrong with you late at night? There was a very light knock on the door next door. Su Rongrong felt a little irritable. Next door is Miss Bai Jing's room, and the young master actually visited her late at night? Watching the two of them getting along during the day, they seemed to be very familiar with each other... Probably another confidante. The sourness in his heart was unbearable. He liked the mysterious Zhang Jiejie and the charming Bai Jing girl, but he just didn't like her. No, he liked her, but it was not what she wanted in the end. He only liked her as a sister. No matter, just like this, if she really won the favor of the young master, she would be even more at a loss. After all, he had so many confidantes, and her aloofness made her unable to accept herself who was full of jealousy. Something unexpected happened. Not long after, the figure flashed past again. The young master left. In mid-September, the weather was slightly cold, and Su Rongrong had trouble sleeping at night. Today, no one disturbed her, so it was inevitable that she would wake up a little late. Not knowing the case or any progress, Su Rongrong originally wanted to ask her adoptive father. When she opened the door, she saw Chu Liuxiang walking into the courtyard. Su Rongrong smiled, "Sir." "Rong Rong, can you please invite me in? I still have some doubts about Wudang." The man also chuckled, holding a folding fan with one hand behind his back and smelling slightly of alcohol. "Master, please." The two of them entered the room one after another and sat down. Wudang Cha was an expert in tea ceremony, and there were tea sets even in the guest room. Su Rongrong lowered her head and fiddled with it and said: "Young master, please do it. I will make tea for you." The fragrance of tea was leisurely, but before Su Rongrong raised her head, she felt that the young master was looking at her through the fine white mist. The man held his hand behind his back and took out an oily paper bag. "Yesterday, friend Xiao Jutang told me that the pastries at the Hutchison Pastry Shop at the foot of Wudang Mountain are pretty good. Today, Lao Hu asked me to go down the mountain to buy some wine. I passed by his shop and brought some to you." Su Rongrong opened the paper package and found several exquisite pastries. "Thank you, Master." Su Rongrong didn't eat breakfast and was a little hungry, so she ate some of each pastry. "It is said that the red bean cake is one of the best in Hutchison. Rongrong doesn't want to try it?" Chu Liuxiang said when she saw that Su Rongrong tasted some of everything but missed this one. "Master, have you forgotten? Rongrong doesn't eat red beans." The cakes Su Rongrong ate seemed to be bitter, and she missed the red beans. She would get a rash after eating even a little bit, but she missed him for several years without regretting it. The man tilted his head in embarrassment and said, "The red bean cake was originally for Miss Bai, but I didn't want her to leave early in the morning." "That's it." Su Rongrong took a sip of tea and felt a bitter taste in her mouth. There was only a paper bag and a piece of cake... It turned out that he gave it to another woman. The man realized that there seemed to be something wrong with his statement, and was about to speak again, but Su Rongrong changed the subject and asked, "Don't you have something to ask Rongrong, Master?" "Rongrong thinks that Anxiang Pavilion is related to this case?" The woman he looked at "The poison of the Dark Flower comes from the Dark Fragrance Pavilion. Maybe it's his fault. More or less, it can't be separated. I just don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional." "Intentional or unintentional? Hmm... That's an appropriate statement." Chu Liuxiang pondered, and then asked after a moment: "What do you think about the plum blossom needle?" "The Anxiang Pavilion has a bad reputation, and this is not the case. There is no need to blame others. Since the world knows that Qianmian Xiaosheng is good at using plum blossom needles, it is inevitable that he will be taken advantage of by someone with intentions." "As you said, this only clue can be faked. Isn't it difficult to get results? Rongrong, you are so smart, why go down a dead end." Chu Liuxiang sneered, indicating something. "Yesterday, Miss Jin told me that after Bai Qian's incident in Jiangnan, he appeared many times in the world. Everyone knows that he is good at using hidden weapons, but he never uses poison and rarely kills people. So all you need to know is the origin of the dark flower poison." Su Rongrong ignored the other words. After hearing what Su Rongrong said, Chu Liuxiang did not continue, but instead said: "Rongrong, do you know that Master Xiao has woken up this morning." Su Rongrong frowned and said, "How is Master Xiao doing? What did he say?" "With Mr. Zhang here, Master Xiao's injuries are not a problem. The original coma was caused by poisoning. I haven't seen Master Xiao yet, so I asked Taoist Priest Xiao Chengwen. He was told that it was a masked man with a strange appearance who broke into the master's retreat in the middle of the night. The two of them made a move, and the man used poison to injure Master Xiao." "The murderer is good at poisoning," Su Rongrong grasped something and added, "So now it looks more like the work of Anxiang Pavilion." "Yes." Chu Liuxiang said, "But although Anxiang Pavilion is a killer organization with a very bad reputation in the world, it still has reasons for killing people. I recall that the people killed by Anxiang Pavilion were all evil or hypocritical." "Oh, Young Master, having said all that, you have also eliminated the suspicion of Bai Qian and Anxiang Pavilion. Maybe you have also reached a dead end." Su Rongrong couldn't help but laugh. Chu Liuxiang was a little stunned, touched her nose, thought for a while, and said: "Probably. However, I already know who did this." "Young master is very clever, please give me some advice." "Xiang Shuai, Miss Rongrong." Xiao Juhe stood outside the door and saluted, and said, "The person Xiang Shuai invited has arrived." "Just in time, let's go to see the leader." Chu Liuxiang stood up and walked to the door, saluting two beautifully dressed women, an old man and a young man, who were standing outside the door: "Mrs. Zhang, Miss Xiao. Can you please go with Chu again." Su Rongrong still had doubts, but she followed Chu Liuxiang to the courtyard where Master Xiao lived for training. "Rongrong, just listen later and don't speak." Approaching the residence of Head Xiao, Chu Liuxiang whispered to Su Rongrong who was following behind while no one was paying attention. Su Rongrong looked at his back in confusion, feeling a little strange. Even if she was not his favorite person, she should know him best. Maybe memory is not reliable, and some things are just what she thinks. Over the past two years, some things have gradually faded away and are no longer clear. "Is the master okay?" Chu Liuxiang bowed respectfully to the pale master Xiao who was sitting on the couch, and then turned to Xiao Chengwen who was sitting on one side and saluted. "It's fine, but I don't know when Wudang will be able to let the bandits come and go at will." Xiao Shulian replied with a cold face. "Haha..." Chu Liuxiang smiled awkwardly and said, "I sincerely came to visit the leader. Don't make fun of me, leader." Xiao Shuhan glanced at the Zhang mother and daughter who came together and snorted coldly. "Haha..." Chu Liuxiang smiled awkwardly again and said, "Mr. Chu is indeed here for something." "Let's talk." "Can you first ask the leader to tell me what happened that night?" Chu Liuxiang said. Xiao Shu had a cold expression on his face, glanced at Chu Liuxiang, and said slowly: "When I was in seclusion that day, a stranger broke into the hall, masked his face, and looked suspicious. I tried to capture him, but he resisted vigorously, so he started fighting. I captured him and asked him who he was. He took advantage of my carelessness and sprinkled a handful of powder, hurt me, and escaped through the window. I also hurt him. Logically speaking, he was injured and should not have escaped." "Thank you, Master, for speaking frankly." Chu Liuxiang bowed to Xiao Shuhan and added, "This junior has made a final decision about what happened a few days ago. I leave it to the Master to decide what will happen in the end." "You just say so." Chu Liuxiang glanced at the disciples in the room, his intention was obvious. Xiao Shuhan frowned and made no move. Chu Liuxiang could only say: "Master Xiao is an upright person, but there are a lot of things involved at this time. Please..." The meaning of his words is self-evident. Xiao Shuhan remained silent, and Xiao Chengwen faced Xiao Juhe on one side and said, "Juhe, take the junior brothers down." "Thank you, Taoist Master." When there were only six people left in the room, Chu Liuxiang said: "Everyone thinks that the order of things happened is that the library was stolen. The gangsters panicked and broke into Changhuan Hall by mistake, and then fought with the leader Xiao. But what if the truth is that the gangsters fought with the leader first, and then the library was stolen?" "This is impossible," Xiao Qingqing couldn't help but said after hearing this, "He injured the leader and was seriously injured. Why did he go to the library? Aren't he afraid of being discovered? Furthermore, how could he escape the search of the Huashan disciples when he was injured!" "Miss Xiao is right," Chu Liuxiang affirmed Xiao Qingqing's statement and then said, "But what if someone else entered the library!" "Madam!" Su Rongrong half-supported Mrs. Zhang and couldn't help but said. Mrs. Zhang's face was pale since she entered the room, and now she was even more shaky. "I feel unwell, can you go home and rest?" Mrs. Zhang said. "Alas -" There was a heavy sigh in the room, and Xiao Chengwen quickly came over to help Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang dodged sideways and said, "Taoist Priest, the etiquette must not be abolished." Xiao Chengwen sighed again and said, "Mother Wan, now there is no need to hide it." "Mom? You? This?" Xiao Qingqing's face was full of shock and disbelief, "He is?" Xiao Chengwen just smiled sadly, helped Zhang Wanniang sit in the seat before him, and said to Xiao Qingqing: "Qingqing, take good care of your mother." "Boy, after we met, I still underestimated you!" Xiao Chengwen patted Chu Liuxiang on the shoulder and said. When Su Rongrong looked at these two people, some of her doubts were instantly resolved. "Sorry." Chu Liuxiang apologized. "No, it's my fault." "Submit!" Xiao Shu's cold face showed a rare expression, and he frowned and shouted. "Please punish the master!" Xiao Chengwen knelt down to Xiao Shuhan and said. "You get up first." After all, they were from the same sect and were juniors who had grown up practicing martial arts together, so Xiao Shuhan couldn't bear it. "Thank you, Master." Xiao Chengwen sighed again, stood up and said, "I am indeed obsessed with this matter, but it is Chen Jude's own fault." Xiao Chengwen calmly began to talk about old things: "Sixteen years ago, when I went down the mountain for training, I fell in love with Madam Wan, and I broke the rules of the family. I felt extremely ashamed, but Madam Wan let me go. After I returned to Wudang, I only thought that It was a ridiculous dream until half a year ago, when I met Wan Niang again when I was going down the mountain. I found out that Wan Niang and I had a daughter, and she had not been married for many years, so I often went to visit her. "After I finished speaking, I felt a little relieved. "It's not like that... It's not like that!" Zhang Wanniang was very emotional and cried, "It's obviously my fault, my fault." "Wan Niang, why are you like this? It's me who is sorry for you after all." Xiao Chengwen sighed and said ashamedly to Zhang Wanniang. "It's just that there is no airtight wall in the world. It was broken by Chen Jude in two months. He once met my son Qingqing. He has coveted my son's beauty for a long time and actually threatened me to make my son commit to him! But my son is already engaged and a childhood sweetheart, how can I let him do what he does! How can such a person deserve to die!" Xiao Chengwen gritted his teeth angrily, and his words were no longer calm. "At the end of last month, I went to Jinling and met a man who was about to die. The poison of the dark flower came from this. As for the plum blossom needle, I met that person. It is not difficult to imitate a few needles. When the time comes, many parties will be involved, and it will be difficult to make a decision. That day, I found someone He sneaked in and injured the leader, so he took the opportunity to kill Chen Jude, rioted in the library, deceived others, and asked the leader to punish him for these crimes. After saying this, Xiao Chengwen knelt down in front of Xiao Shuhan again. "In other words, there was someone else who fought with me that day... You have already made a conclusion about this matter, do you know who it was?" Xiao Shuhan did not let Xiao Chengwen stand up, nor did he say punishment, but asked Chu Liuxiang who had sneaked in. "Well, I guess this person broke in unintentionally and had no ill intentions towards the leader. Firstly, the poison he used was not very toxic and can be cured by ordinary doctors, but the coma lasted a little longer. Secondly, he did not harm the leader after poisoning." "Inadvertent intrusion? Who would believe such a ridiculous explanation?" Xiao Chengwen frowned. Su Rongrong believed it. Xiao Shuhan held his forehead, he believed it. He remembered that when he found the man, he was at the table, as if he wanted to take the tea cup: he fought with the man, and the man hid if he could; after he captured the man, the man asked why, he was just passing by to borrow a glass of water... Could this man have a brain problem? The scene at that time, and such an explanation, who would believe it! This matter is over. Later, it was understandable that the head wanted Xiao Chengwen, so Xiao Chengwen left Wudang and announced to the outside world that he was traveling around. Xiao Qingqing got married as she wished, and Xiao Chengwen took Zhang Wanniang elsewhere. Later. "Rong Rong, I heard that the sunset in Wudang is very beautiful. Would you like to go and see it with me?" "I've seen it, why don't I go again!" On the top of the mountain, the sunset is brilliant. "Rong Rong, where are you going next?" "What does it have to do with you?" She said with a smile, "Bai Qian!" The fake leather mask was torn off, revealing a pair of narrowed peach blossom eyes. "White mirrors are thousands, mirrors of mirrors, hundreds of thousands of thousands." "Don't be so heartless. That idiot who doesn't know the way is from your Anxiang Pavilion. I'll keep it a secret for you. Why don't you scare me?" I don't know the date of return, it's just that my lover has not arrived yet, but now, my heart has returned.

The Huashan School is built on the Huashan Mountain. No matter whether it is winter or summer, it is always a piece of snow-white that never fades. At the end of the year, the snow couldn't stop. There were often disciples coming in and out of the Mingjian Hall, and the disciples who stepped through the door were more or less covered in white. When Feng Wuya saw him, he would sometimes feel a little jealousy in his heart. But the snow does not stay in Mingjian Hall for a long time. The snow that falls on the disciples' shoulders and hair will not take long before it turns into wisps of white air, rises high, and then dissipates so quickly that Feng Wuya cannot even take a closer look. Mingjian Hall is not small, with a hall in the middle and a room on the left and right. Feng Wuya was sitting at the desk. He would be in a daze when he was tired from revising files. Guess whether the disciple who entered the door would come to his end or go to the opposite side? He preferred it to be on the opposite side, because although the distance from the gate on both sides was the same, the closer he walked to Feng Wuya, the faster the cold air and snow on the disciples' bodies dissipated. On the contrary, it would slowly dissipate, and he would be able to see slowly. However, most of the disciples still come to him and like to come to him. This is due to the several stoves placed in his room, making this room the Mingjian Hall, no, it should be said to be the warmest place in the entire Huashan Sect. But for Feng Wuya, it was a bit too much. The warmth in the room once made him feel awkward all over. He told Liu Shengxue many times to remove everything else and leave only one, but he scolded him several times. After scolding him, Qi Wuhui always scolded him. Feng Wuya didn't like hearing this the most, and over time he stopped mentioning it to him. Over time, I became accustomed to the stoves in the room and the temperature they brought. When I came to my senses, it was already the end of the year. On New Year's Eve, the snow stopped. The Huashan sect is located near the snow-capped mountains. The sect is always deserted on weekdays, so it only gets more fireworks during the Chinese New Year, making it lively and lively. It didn't snow today, and the cold wind didn't blow as fast as usual. It was as if the Huashan sect was given a special holiday in anticipation of the Chinese New Year. Feng Wuya rarely came out and walked around. He saw a joyful atmosphere everywhere, and he became happy unconsciously. He was in a particularly good mood today. He didn't know where he wanted to go, so he just wandered around and looked around. The Huashan Sect has not changed much, but he has stayed in the Mingjian Hall for a long time. His acquaintances are very excited when they see him going out, and they can't stop talking once they start talking. He dealt with one and then encountered the next. After talking for a long time, he inevitably felt a little impatient in his heart. After finally sending away another one, Feng Wuya sighed and felt a little worried, thinking that it would not work if this went on, it would not be easy for him to come out, and he would have to be urged back by Liu Shengxue later. Time is limited and cannot be wasted on this. He still has to... Got What to do? Feng Wuya was stunned. What did he... Himself... Have to do? What does he want to do? He lowered his eyes slightly and stared at his legs, which were numb and stiff as dead wood, unable to get out of the wheelchair. His mind moved to another person. Suddenly I understood why the more he wandered around, the more inexplicable anxiety he felt in his heart. During the Chinese New Year, it was pretty much the same as now. He also liked to wander around the Huashan sect, chatting and helping out. Every time he didn't go shopping for long, he would always see Qi Wuhui. Either he came to him specially, or he found him, or the two of them just happened to bump into each other. In short, they would end up walking around together and then go back to have New Year's Eve dinner with everyone. It was almost noon now, and there was not even a shadow of Qi Wuhui. Yes, it should not be possible, Feng Wuya thought in a daze, Huashan Senior Brother, the leader of the Seven Swords, Wuhui Sword Qi Wuhui, although he is a bit too unruly on weekdays, but when he is serious, he can really knock a hole out of the south wall. Therefore, if he says that he is not a disciple of Huashan, he really means that he is not a disciple of Huashan. If they couldn't come back, they would just pretend they had never seen each other again. But, why don't you come back to take a look during the New Year? Feng Wuya sighed slightly, he couldn't come back this year, he just hoped that everything would go well in the coming year. A bone-chilling chill spread from the front. Feng Wuya took a closer look and found that he had reached Longyuan. I accidentally moved a little too far away, Long Yuan's cold air was too strong, and I might not be able to hide it from Junior Brother Liu after a while. Thinking of Liu Shengxue's long string of words that were longer than the foot-binding cloth, Feng Wuya couldn't help but look helpless, but he didn't leave, and instead moved closer to Long Yuan. If Liu Shengxue saw this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood. His catchphrase is really not in vain - Feng Wuya! If you keep trying like this, even the gods can't cure you! Feng Wuya, who loves to toss, turned half a circle around Long Yuan, and the wheel got stuck in the snow pit. He pushed the wheel hard. Not only did the Sanwu wheel produced by Huashan not move, it even made a crisp sound. ——"Click" "Click!" Someone! "Who?" Feng Wuya looked up and saw a figure on the snowy slope in front of him, and then... A Huashan disciple rolled down? Feng Wuya watched dumbfounded as the man rolled all the way from the top of the slope to his feet. He tried his best to hold back his smile and said with concern as a kind-hearted senior brother should, "Is everything okay?" "No, cough cough cough, no - Ha Qiu! - It's okay!!" The man raised his head, maybe it was too cold, and his expression looked a bit... Gritting his teeth? Feng Wuya looked at his face carefully and felt that it looked familiar. He had a good memory and thought about it for a while. This junior brother's surname is Han. He entered the door when Qi Wuhui returned to Huashan to fight against the Wan Sheng Pavilion with them. After that, he mostly acted as a layman, and he had met senior Qi several times at the foot of the mountain. The two of them were destined to be together. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Junior Brother Han, is there anything you have to do when you come here?" "Ah? No, no, no... I... I just..." Junior Brother Han looked panicked and stammered a few words. Finally, he patted his head and said with a stiff smile, "I just... Uh... I just slipped, hahahaha!" The snow was indeed slippery, but with Junior Brother Han's skill, how could he slip for no reason? Feng Wuya did not continue to ask. He just said: "Then Junior Brother Han, why not do me a favor and push this wheel out of the snow pit?" Junior Brother Han naturally agreed readily. For practitioners like them, it didn't take much effort to lift the wheelchair with Feng Wuya, and he was able to get it out in a short time alone. He also pushed Feng Wuya back to Mingjian Hall and listened to Liu Shengxue's words with him before he left and went out. The New Year's Eve dinner was very lively. The disciples gathered together, drank wine and punched each other. The rowing turned into a martial arts competition. Feng Wuya couldn't drink too much, so he could only have a few drinks and just watched from the side. Last year, he and his senior brother were both members of this group. Qi Wuhui was bold and uninhibited, drank the most, and refused to give up during the sparring. He knocked several disciples awake from drinking, so they brought back Feng Wuya, who had been dragged away to compete elsewhere, and asked him to teach his senior brother a lesson. They fought hard and ended up accidentally hitting a crowd, causing chaos in the scene. The one-on-one sparring ended in the largest group fight in the history of Huashan. However, they sneaked away when the disciples were fighting at their peak. He still remembered how drunk he was at that time. One person was worth ten thousand people before his eyes, and the world was filled with shadows. But a hand held him and led him skillfully around the crowd. They walked slowly and for a long time until they reached the edge of Longyuan. He was very drunk at the beginning, so the hand had to hold him all the way. Feng Wuya also vomited in the middle of the journey, which was probably not very beautiful. The owner of the hand laughed at him all the way, and when he arrived at Longyuan, all he could think about was his devilish laughter. The water of Longyuan never freezes, and the cold wind of Longyuan is always biting. This wind and this breath are very cold, cold to the bone, but it doesn't seem cold. They just compete with the heat in your body like this, compete openly and openly, and don't bother to play any dirty tricks. They are very similar to these one-hearted Huashan disciples on the mountain. This kind of wind is the best tool for sobering up. Feng Wuya was immediately awakened by it. He looked left and right to figure out where he was. He then looked at the hands held by Qi Wuhui and him, and asked with some confusion, "Senior brother, why did you bring me here?" "Are you drunk?" Qi Wuhui pointed to the shore of Longyuan and said, "What else can you do? Come on, come on, have a few sips of wine with your senior brother." Feng Wuya actually remembered the answer when he asked. Qi Wuhui liked to drag him to Longyuan to drink. One look, and sure enough, there were several wine jars set up on the bank. I really don't know where the senior brother got so much wine when he was so poor, and I don't know when this man found an opportunity to bring the wine here even though they stayed together from morning to New Year's Eve dinner. But as long as the wine tastes good, there's no need to worry about it. Qi Wuhui always has so many ways, and Feng Wuya has always known it. They drank until very late, and while they were drinking, fireworks began to be set off in the sky. They were not big and did not have many tricks. They were incomparable to the ordinary festival fireworks in Jinling Jiangnan. The two of them were very happy watching them and laughed for a long time. In fact, what's so funny about fireworks, but two drunk people can laugh at anything when they are happy, and they can laugh for most of the day. Feng Wuya still remembered that they drank the last remaining jar and buried it next to Long Yuan. He suddenly wanted to dig it out secretly, take a few sips, and bury it again.

[Chu Liuxiang fan] Ping Sheng Bureau Shadow Chapter 1 Return The giant spirit roared and broke the two mountains, and the flood sprayed arrows into the East China Sea. However, the three peaks stand as if they are about to be destroyed, and the green cliffs and red valleys are spread high. The white emperor's gold essence transports vitality, and the stone is used as a lotus flower and the clouds are used as a platform. The road in Yuntai Pavilion is connected with the dark, and there is an immortal elixir in it. "Hyuntai Yuntai Sings Songs to Dan Qiuzi" written by Li Bai, the poet of the Tang Dynasty, depicts the majestic and majestic Huashan Mountains with misty clouds. It is a splendid poem that makes the viewer fascinated. Time and space have passed for more than seven hundred years, and the country of China has changed hands many times, and now it is the world of the Zhu Ming Dynasty. "Ding-ding! Swish-swish!" Beside the chessboard stone of Huashan Jade Girl Peak, a pair of beautiful girls in pink clothes were competing elegantly with swords in the grassy open space. The Huashan School has always been good at swordsmanship. It is difficult to distinguish the true and false swordsmanship of the sect's most profound "Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng". People in the martial arts community usually dare not compete with it. The female disciple who wields the sword is even more cool, valiant and heroic. At this moment, one of the girls stabbed forward with a long sword and said in her mouth: "Have a cool sleep and return to the Longtan to sweep the stone pegs!" The other girl danced with the fish and dragon sword, took the sword move gracefully, and shouted: "Waiting for a while, the chessboard is in hand, and the sword blade is controlled by the purple lightning at night!" Amidst the sound of sword tactics, the silver sword light flashed through several "white rainbows" in mid-air, and the flaming red sword tassels flew in the air, dancing beautifully with the sword. The girl from before fluttered with sword flowers, opened her sword and said loudly: "Jingxi is happy that the cigarette is lingering for a few times, but I am shocked that the jade is falling off the pattern!" The woman opposite jumped up to face the sword wind, and then swept across the area: "The feather guest will never be seen again, and the green mountain will be left with a rotten name!" "Ding——!" The swords were exchanged again, and they quickly bounced in mid-air. The two pink figures lightly passed by each other's sides. "Ouch!" A girl landed on the lawn first and took several steps back before she stood firm. She gasped while holding the sword and said with emotion: "Now it seems that the chessboard sword technique has been trained to some extent by senior sister!" The two girls who tried the sword were Su Ninglan and Gu Xiaoxiao, both of whom were under the sect of Master Haiyan of the Huashan Sect. The young Su Ninglan was more lively and bold than her senior sister, but less calm. The sword in her hand was almost shot down by her opponent just now. It turns out that after the death of Master Ku Mei, the Huashan Sect's "Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng" swordsmanship was too advanced. Master Haiyan, along with Senior Sister Ku Mei's beloved disciples Gao Yanan, Hua Zhenzhen and others, spent several years researching and created a set of "Chess and Ping Sword Techniques" that could be quickly mastered. They then strictly selected their disciples and revived the sect's reputation. Gu Xiaoxiao held up a beautiful sword flower, skillfully returned her elbow to retract the sword, and said with a smile: "It's not my swordsmanship that's great, but my junior sister's sword handling skills are a bit sluggish today, and she seems to be distracted." Su Ninglan nodded, pulled the other party to a tree, and whispered the whole story. It turned out that a year ago, Su Ninglan returned to her family's home in Huzhou in western Zhejiang for a short stay, but she had a dispute with her father Su Jinfeng over marrying her step-brother Liu. Miss Su was furious and hurriedly packed her bags and returned to Huashan. She stopped going south to visit relatives for several months. More than a month from now, it will be her father's 40th birthday, and Hongyan of the Su family sent a letter hoping that she would come home early. Because Su Ninglan didn't like Mrs. Liu, she had been worried after receiving the letter from home. Gu Xiaoxiao patted her junior sister on the shoulder and persuaded her: "Anyway, Uncle Su's birthday is approaching. Ning'er, you have been away from home for many years to study art, so it's time to rush back and fulfill your filial piety." Su Ninglan curled her lips and said in a voice as smooth as a jade bead: "In short, when facing the new heroine of the Su family, I can't say 'Second Mother'." Gu Xiaoxiao shook her head, tapped the other person's forehead with her jade finger, and said: "As a young lady of the Su family, you should seize the time to tidy up. The 'bending bow and grabbing the ground' sword technique created by your father and the Luo family back then was famous in the martial arts community in western Zhejiang. There will be many martial arts colleagues coming to celebrate the birthday, and Miss Su, one of the Huashan heroines, cannot be missing." Su Ninglan smiled. She thought about it again and again, and finally came to the gate of Yuying Palace on Jade Girl Peak, ready to report to her master, Mrs. Haiyan, about returning home. Master Haiyan is the junior sister of Master Kumei, the former leader of Huashan. She was originally in charge of the Jade Girl Peak sect. After the death of Master Kumei, Master Haiyan temporarily took over the Huashan sect. Su Ninglan stepped into a room to the east of Yuying Palace and saw sandalwood lingering in the room. Master Haiyan in a jade crown and crane cloak was sitting on a futon with her eyes closed and breathing. After about a stick of incense, Haiyan Master Taifang stood up and moved. After hearing the farewell from his beloved disciple, he said slowly: "Master allows you to set off immediately. I hope you will return to Huzhou alone. It is more appropriate to dress up in men's clothing along the way. Even if you have to hoe the strong and help the weak, you should not cause too much trouble on the way." Su Ninglan bowed her hands and saluted: "Disciple, thank you master for reminding me. I will rush back to Huashan as soon as my birthday is over." Master Haiyan shook her head slightly: "Don't be so anxious, maybe you will stay in the Su family for a while this time." Su Ninglan said doubtfully: "This disciple doesn't quite understand." She saw her master's face solemn and said, "You are now sixteen years old... If it hadn't been for the accident that happened to the young master of the Luo family, you might not be willing to stay at Jade Girl Peak now." Su Ninglan's face turned slightly red and she said nothing. Then she heard her master say in a deep voice: "Ning'er, although you are talented and intelligent, you are not a monk and have your hair cut off to practice. Master can't stop you from entering the world of mortals." Su Ninglan quickly said: "Master, this disciple has never thought of leaving..." Master Haiyan raised her hand to silence her beloved disciple and said with emotion: "You are different from Qi Wuhui who was expelled from our sect's Mingjian Hall. You can pursue happiness in this world, but the door of Yuying Palace will always be open for you." After hearing this, Su Ninglan immediately bowed her head and bowed to thank her master. At dawn the next day, Su Ninglan changed into a short and green shirt, packed her luggage, took her pet "Nao Nao" - a three-year-old brown and gray raccoon dog, and then said goodbye to her brothers and sisters one by one, and left Huashan, where she had lived for six years. Ten days later, Su Ninglan rode her newly purchased bay-red horse to Enshi County, Hubei Province, looking for a pack of "Enshi Yulu" tea as a birthday gift - in her memory, her father loved drinking this ancient steamed green tea. A few days later, when Su Ninglan passed by Xiyu Street in Jiayu County, the sky began to drizzle. She bought a few vegetable buns at the store. She had just packed the paper bags and was about to lead her horse away when she suddenly heard someone shouting: "It's been robbed, my money bag!" Su Ninglan turned around and saw a peasant woman stumbling past the bun shop, and saw a figure flashing around the corner of the street in front of her. She, who was practicing martial arts, quickly threw away the horse's reins and chased after her. Not long after, she jumped onto the wet roof tiles, jumped off the roof before the thief, and blocked the exit of a row of long bamboo poles beside the wall. Upon seeing this, Tou'er hurriedly turned around and ran away, pushing more than ten bamboo poles towards Su Ninglan. Su Ninglan turned sideways to avoid several bamboo poles that were thrown down in front of her. She picked up one of the thin bamboo poles and threw it at the opponent's heels along the bluestone board, easily tripping him down. Finally, she forced him to hand over the money bag sternly. After Tou'er was taken away by the police, everyone watching on the street applauded Su Ninglan. The peasant woman who came over gasped and took back the money bag, bowed and thanked the "young man" in front of her. Su Ninglan helped her up and said with a smile: "What's the big deal about this trivial matter? It's time for me to get on my way." After she said that, she blew the bamboo whistle around her neck, and the bay-red horse quickly ran in front of her. The peasant woman advised: "My dear husband, look at your hair and clothes being stained by the mud and water. If you don't mind, please go to the slave's residence to freshen up before leaving." Su Ninglan has a cheerful nature and is not too rigid. Seeing the enthusiasm of the other party and the difficulty of traveling on rainy days, Su Ninglan agreed. The peasant woman called herself Aunt Zhao. While pouring tea for Su Ninglan, she kindly reminded her not to stay near the Taoran Bridge on the outskirts of the city after dark, because in the past two months, three girls and children had passed by the bridge after Xu Shi and disappeared inexplicably, leaving only handkerchiefs, hairpins or embroidery bags and other accessories. The youngest son of Dong Yanzhang, the head catcher of Xiyu Street, was also lost while visiting the lantern festival recently. Mrs. Dong almost cried her eyes dry. When Su Ninglan heard about this, she slammed the tea bowl and said angrily: "Who is so hateful?!" Not long after, Su Ninglan changed into clean brocade clothes, carried the rattan box to a lively street in the city, and found a mid-range inn with two floors and more than ten rooms to stay temporarily. When it was almost midnight that night, she put on ordinary women's clothes in the house, blew out the candles and quietly climbed up to the eaves from the window. Carrying a swag on her back, which contained soft swords, lanterns and other items, she ran along the rows of rooftops towards the nearby Taoran Bridge. Jiujiuli Naonao had always been good at climbing trees, so he naturally jumped down from the second floor to catch up. The sky is still full of rain. There is a wooden shack at the east end of Taoran Bridge for people to rest temporarily. A string of lighted white gauze lanterns hangs under the eaves. The lanterns sway slightly in the night wind, and the yellowish halo illuminates the bridge head. Su Ninglan came to the bridge with an umbrella and a lantern, and deliberately stayed for a long time. However, because there were few vendors and passers-by on rainy days, no suspicious people appeared around the bridge. For three nights in a row, Su Ninglan hid in a big tree near Taoran Bridge. During this period, she changed her clothes several times - deliberately pretending to be a good girl selling flowers and plants or a prostitute returning home drunk, and appeared around the night market stalls by the bridge one after another, but still found nothing strange. On the fourth day, after the clouds broke through the night sky and the moon appeared at zenith, Su Ninglan once again came to the vicinity of Taoran Bridge wearing a cloak. She said to herself in her heart: Master warned me not to cause too much trouble on the road. If I return in vain tonight, I will leave Jiayu County early tomorrow morning. Halfway through Xu's hour, an old man appeared at the other end of the bridge pushing a food cart. A pair of red lanterns with paper cuts hung on the front of the cart's hood, with a total of eight characters written on them, "Small business, no credit", which looked very eye-catching. After crossing the bridge, the old man stopped and stabilized the cart. He set up a low table and several folding stools in the open space next to the cart, and loudly shouted "boiled rice cakes, boiled meatballs, and beef offal and spicy soup." After a while, three rugged men with swords sat down and loudly ordered spicy soup or boiled meatballs. The other passers-by were in a hurry and did not stop. The old man started to get busy. After finishing his work, he sat aside, holding a kettle to warm his hands and coughing lightly. After the three big men of the clinker finished eating and drinking, they wiped their mouths and turned around to leave. The old man came up and asked for money for the soup in a nice voice, but they said with disdain that they lived in the city, so this time it was a credit. The old man shook his head and pointed to the writing on the lantern, but was pushed aside by one of the big men. He fell to the ground and groaned a few times while holding his waist. The three people laughed and walked away leisurely. "That's too much!" Su Ninglan was immediately filled with righteous indignation. She held back her anger, rolled the bundle around Jiujiuli's waist, jumped down, and quickly walked towards the bridge. The girl stepped forward to help the old man up, and saw that he had gray beard and hair. It was cold in spring, but he was wearing thin clothes, and she couldn't help but feel pity for him. She thought for a while, took out a piece of silver from her purse, put it in the old man's hand, comforted him, then closed the stall and went to rest early. The old man looked at the little girl who suddenly appeared in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment, then quickly declined: "I can't do it, I can't do it, I understand the girl's kindness!" Su Ninglan turned her eyes and said with a smile: "Old uncle, could you please make me a bowl of beef offal and spicy soup. These half a tael of silver can be regarded as the money I paid for 20 midnight snacks in advance. Can't I just put the extra money in the account first?" The old man just said She accepted the money and said in a dumb voice: "The girl is kind-hearted. Thank you for taking care of her. I wonder what you call her?" She lowered her head and caught a glimpse of her green skirt, and said smoothly: "My name is... Qingqing." Not long after, Su Ninglan brought over a bowl of fragrant spicy soup and blew on the oil on the surface of the hot soup. A fragrant aroma drifted to her nose, and she immediately felt dizzy. She knew something was wrong, so she immediately put down the soup bowl, swallowed the Qingxin Pill prepared in her sleeve, quickly got up and ran for a few steps, then her knees gave way and fell to the ground, and her vision quickly became hazy. The old man stepped forward eagerly and said, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" On the tree not far away, the raccoon dog was naturally nervous and wagging its tail wildly. At this moment, Su Ninglan felt that the other party's voice was not as hoarse as before. In a daze, she saw the three passers-by who had just drank soup go away and come back, walking towards her with the sound of boots. In the critical moment, Su Ninglan reluctantly used her strength to untie the hidden buckle on the silver bracelet. The colorless essential oil hidden inside dripped on the ground, thinking: "These traces can be used as markers for Nao Nao to identify the route." After the nine-jointed raccoon dog came down from the tree with a few "chacha" sounds from its four paws, it saw its owner Su Ninglan being supported by an old man beside a shed. A string of lighted white gauze lanterns hung under the eaves of the wooden shed. The other men jumped forward and tied Su Ninglan's hands and feet with hemp ropes. The nine-knotted raccoon screamed sharply not far away, but did not dare to run over and approach its owner - it seemed that it was afraid of approaching the string of white gauze lanterns and people. Perhaps this scene reminded it of its bad past. Su Ninglan was carried to a hiding place by two people. They forced a rag into her mouth, then put her into a cloth bag and threw her into a carriage. Su Ninglan knew that this medicine could not completely paralyze her, so she deliberately continued to pretend to be unconscious, and guessed through audio identification that there were several women around her, thinking: "I wonder where the carriage is going?" Somewhere on the outskirts of the city, several young women with their eyes blindfolded and their hands bound were pulled out of the car by the coordinator one after another and entered through the back door of a hidden grocery store. After going around several twists and turns of corridors, the girls finally arrived at a basement. After they were blindfolded by a pair of mysterious men and women wearing masks, they found themselves in a dark and damp stone prison cell with heavy chains tied to their feet. Naturally, they were filled with fear. After a day and a night, the kidnappers neither released their chains nor provided any water, and many delicate girls began to sob. Su Ninglan resisted the urge to break the chains and save people. She had learned the method of fasting from the Huashan School, so she simply closed her eyes and meditated, waiting for the remaining medicinal properties to dissipate. On the morning of the third day, a well-dressed woman about forty years old walked into the stone cell with a few thug-looking waiters. The woman called herself Shi Jiuniang and ordered people to bring five bowls of porridge, a basin of pickles and five sponge cakes, and persuaded the girls to obey her. She said that she would send everyone to Xiangyuan Pavilion to receive singing and dancing training, so that they would be rich and popular in the future; if anyone disobeyed, they would receive a severe lesson. These abducted girls were hungry and scared, so they could only surrender in tears, secretly praying that they would be rescued by people from the yamen or by the knights and knights who were following them. Su Ninglan held the hot sponge cake in her hands, and for the first time, she felt that the aroma of wheat overflowing from it was so tempting. After midnight, a soft rustling sound came from the walls and beams of the grocery store. When the guard of the courtyard yawned and shook his head and wandered around the yard, it seemed as if a ball of furry things scurried into the backyard. Chapter 2 Secret Fragrance Su Ninglan was renamed "Lanyu Yan" by Shi Jiuniang. After a brief training of three days, she was assigned to Xiangyuan Pavilion to do some chores such as serving tea and pouring wine. In the evening, when Su Ninglan passed the Peony Hall with tea, she saw through the half-open door that there were two young men in brocade clothes teasing and drinking. Their hair crowns were crooked, their clothes were wide open, and scarlet wine stains spilled down their sleeves. They were making a lot of noise. One of the men suddenly hugged the little servant girl who was playing the Yueqin in his arms. Seeing that she was trembling, the other man laughed and poured a pot of wine into her mouth. The little servant girl was forced to drink the wine, choking and coughing. She cried and begged for mercy, but to no avail. The former young master suddenly felt disappointed, threw a few things, pointed at the servant girl and yelled. After Shi Jiuniang heard the news, she hurried over to smooth things over, then urged Su Ninglan to change into pink-green clothes, enter the Peony Hall to accompany the wine, and signaled with a threatening look. Su Ninglan's eyes immediately turned wild, and she drank several glasses of wine without hesitation. The gentlemen in gilded clothes applauded, so she proposed to everyone a game of pretending to be a wooden man. The loser would be punished by holding the wine glass or lying down on all fours to pretend to be a puppy. The young men clapped their hands and laughed and said, "It's interesting, let's do it like this!" Shi Jiuniang heard the wild laughter and shouts outside the window and left with satisfaction. After the ugly hour, it became quiet inside, with only the intermittent sound of the yueqin strings coming out. After a while, the sound of the piano disappeared in the house, and a young man shouted from the window: "Everyone outside has dispersed!" After saying this, he closed the window tightly, bolted the door, and then the lights dimmed. When the servant guarding the outside saw the window curtains hanging down inside the house, he left knowingly. Early the next morning, Shi Jiuniang ordered her servant girl to knock on the door and bring tea and water, but no one answered for a long time. Because the door of the room was locked, Jiuniang had no choice but to jump in from the side window. After opening the bedside curtain, she was shocked - she saw the two young masters had their acupuncture points tapped, sleeping topless on the bed, with pillows and towels stuffed in their mouths, and their hands and feet bound, like a pair of drunk cats. In an instant, Shi Jiuniang's body suddenly stiffened, and acupuncture points on her shoulders and back were quickly sealed. "Jade smoke?!" Shi Jiuniang was stunned when she saw that the timid girl a few days ago suddenly became agile. She was about to scream and call someone, but her throat was grabbed by the person behind her, and two black pills were forced into her mouth. The other party tapped her throat with his finger, and the slightly bitter pill slid down her esophagus. "You, who are you?" Shi Jiuniang trembled like a dead leaf in the autumn wind. "I am a member of the public family. Who are you working for? Who is the master behind the scenes?" Seeing that Shi Jiuniang still didn't speak, Su Ninglan exerted force with her left hand, and Jiuniang immediately screamed - her left arm was instantly folded, causing severe pain like dislocation. "Woman, spare your life! It seems to be an organization called 'Anxiang', and the leader's codename is 'Mr. Orchid'." "Secret fragrance? Mr. Orchid?" Su Ninglan was unfamiliar with these terms, paused, and then asked, "What is the composition of this organization, the position of the main branch, and the contact information?" "Mr. Lanhua's real name and gender are unknown to the Nu family. We only know that this person has two envoys, Huaying and Yueying, and there are many assassins under their jurisdiction. His headquarters seems to be in the Sichuan area. It is said that there are many residences such as the Medical Pavilion, the Hall of Swords, and the Champs Elysees. However, the position of the branch can change at any time. The Nu family keeps a low profile and only communicates with the liaison person sent by the two envoys every month, Mr. Deng." Su Ninglan thought for a moment and said in a cold tone: "It's not difficult at all. You first hand me the bond of sale of the trapped girls, and then write a letter to the contact person, saying that several of these girls are suspected of being infected with the epidemic and need to return the goods for new ones. From today on, within three days, you will agree to meet on a certain night." "Ah? Within three days, isn't it a bit rushed..." "I will only wait for three days. Otherwise, Mama Shi's face and hand will be useless. You should consider it yourself." Shi Jiuniang was puzzled: "Xia Xia, if the people from 'Anxiang' know that it was me who leaked the secret, I will die badly." Su Ninglan said: "Don't worry, Jiuniang. You just need to make an appointment with your contact person to show up in the private room on the third floor of Wangji Teahouse facing the lake at the end of the day. When the time comes, I will meet with the other person to order the goods and set off the Xingming Fire. You will take the opportunity to light up the nearby old grocery store, secretly release the imprisoned girls, and then leave the place in chaos. After that, I will naturally ask Jiujiuli to deliver the prescription to you somewhere in the maple forest in the west of the city, so that the people of 'Secret Fragrance' will not embarrass you." "Why do you want to meet in the private room on the third floor facing the lake?" "You can only see the conditions of those shops in the private room near the lake. If you lie to me, you won't be able to get the antidote." She took out two more silver notes found from the clothes of the wealthy patrons in the pavilion and waved them in front of the other party's eyes. "Jiuniang, these one thousand taels of silver can ensure that you have food and clothing for the rest of your life." Shi Jiuniang's eyes lit up and she extended her hand happily. As night fell, Su Ninglan held an exquisite folding fan and came to Wangji Restaurant, where a pair of large golden lanterns hung in front of the door. Then she stepped on the floor and walked into the T-shaped box facing the lake. When she saw the fan-waving scholar next to the gauze lantern with his back to her, she caught a glimpse of the square white jade pendant hanging on his waist. She clenched the fan tightly and stepped forward and said leisurely: "The moonlight lanterns are all over the imperial capital." The code word for the connection comes from "Guan Leng Yu Xing" written by Li Shangyin of the Tang Dynasty. "Xiang Che Bao covers the narrow thoroughfare." The scholar suddenly turned around and said. Su Ninglan twisted the jade fan and hung a pair of small blue porcelain gourds, and said: "The warm sun in Lantian creates smoke. The blue jade smoke in the Nujia Xiangyuan Pavilion goes to the appointment with Mr. Deng." The scholar looked her up and down and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Are you a new member of the cabinet? Did Jiuniang send you here?" Su Ninglan nodded, walked to the window and set off a sky-piercing firework, then closed the window, took out a gold-painted box and placed it on the table, and then asked: "Mr. Deng, where are the newlyweds Xiangyuan Tower wants?" The scholar high-fived twice, and an attendant walked out from behind the screen, opened a suitcase, and illuminated it with an oil lamp. Inside was a pair of sleeping girls. Su Ninglan stepped forward and carefully checked the girl's breathing and appearance, closed the suitcase, nodded, and said to Mr. Deng: "Ask him to go downstairs for a while." After the attendant left, she took out a contract sheet and said: "The black and white words on the paper are clear. Excluding one person who died suddenly last time, after the offset, he can only pay sixty taels of silver." Mr. Deng suddenly stretched out his left hand wearing a silver glove: "Wait a minute, girl, please bring the medical certificate of the woman who died violently." Su Ninglan watched the smoke appear in the sky above the alley of the grocery store, took out the baggage, untied it and said slowly: "Sir, wait a moment." The moment she handed over the folded envelope, she waved her hand fiercely and raised a handful of lime towards the other person's eyes. While he was hurriedly using the folding fan to block the lime, he immediately pulled out the soft sword hidden in his belt. The sword was as agile as a swimming dragon and struck towards his neck. Mr. Deng scattered a handful of flying needles between his fingers, and at the same time he "turned over like a kite" and retreated to the window. The attendants he brought earlier rushed to Yaju and fought with Su Ninglan with a horizontal knife. Mr. Deng took the opportunity to throw a long rope from his sleeves and hooked it tightly around Su Ninglan's waist. He used force to pull off her belt. When she was embarrassed and angry, he suddenly jumped out of the window and jumped into the lake to escape. The attendant then followed, but unfortunately his left and right feet were caught by two chains with steel balls coming from the door, and he fell under the screen. Su Ninglan shouted: "Don't let him escape!" At this moment, the iron mesh pre-set on the ceiling clacked and covered his head. At this time, seven or eight men in short shirts poured into the next box, and a cluster of sabers were placed around the necks of the male servants. It turned out that they were all businessmen in civilian clothes. At this moment, Su Ninglan remembered that her belt contained a silver and jade family emblem with the words "Snow Crane Under the Moon", but in the fight just now, the family emblem and the belt were taken away by Mr. Deng! The leader, a man in his thirties, held up a token and shouted to the trapped people: "Jiayu County Detective Dong Yanzhang is ordered to capture the suspect!" It turned out that after Su Ninglan and Shi Jiuniang made an agreement that day, they immediately took Jiuniang's confession and drawings to contact Dong Yanzhang, the yamen arrester who lived on the same street as Aunt Zhao, and told him the general situation of the "Secret Fragrance" organization and her purpose of going to Xiangyuan Pavilion to rescue people. The patrol officers jointly planned a plan to besiege the connector. Later, the old grocery store outside the house caught fire, causing the patrol officers to intervene, and the poor girls who were abducted from several dens near the grocery store were rescued. Some girls whose families could not be contacted were temporarily placed in the Yamen. Shi Jiuniang's whereabouts are unknown. After the suspect was captured, he committed suicide due to a bullet in his tooth. The Yamen hastily closed the case, but the head catcher Dong Yanzhang privately handed her three gold-studded knives, saying that if she had any difficulties in the future, she could ask him for help with the swords. Su Ninglan accepted the case with a smile, and asked the Yamen to help her find the missing silver family emblem. Seeing that the case was over, Su Ninglan said goodbye to Mr. Dong, Aunt Zhao and others, and left Jiayu County on horseback. She regretted that the family emblem still could not be recovered. Her father would be anxious and angry if he knew about it. Jiande County, Yanzhou Prefecture in western Zhejiang Province, is located on the bank of the clear Xin'an River. Meng Haoran, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once left a beautiful poem here to describe the scenery: "Moving the boat to Yanzhu, the guests are sad at dusk. The trees are low in the wild sky, and the clear moon on the river is close to the people." On the evening of April 13th, the Xu hour was coming to an end, and the night in Jiande City was as cold as water. On the main thoroughfare, the number of shopping carts and horses gradually became less and less, and only a few tiled houses with hooked railings were still brightly lit, with wine and delicacies laid out, and silk and bamboo orchestral music playing. "Dang! - Dang! The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of the fire! Dang! - Dang!" The intermittent sound of gongs and bangs can be heard in the streets and alleys, reminding people who have not yet fallen asleep that the "second watch" has arrived. "Warm Yanzhou shortbread, sprinkled with sesame seeds, stuffed with dried vegetables and meat, the shell is thin and crispy and sweet -! Five cents each, buy five and get one free!" At the intersection of the alley, an old woman in coarse linen clothes and a white-and-blue-flowered headscarf was slowly pushing a wooden wheel cart carrying a sesame cake stove, hanging paper bags and folding stools, and shouted loudly, with a long and vicissitudes of voice. "Bang——!" A string of copper coins flew diagonally from mid-air and landed steadily in the outer groove of the furnace mouth of the cart. The old woman stopped the trolley and picked up this string of money, which contained about thirty copper coins. She was puzzled, and when she turned around to look for someone, a dark shadow flew past her like a nighthawk, and then disappeared suddenly. When she rubbed her eyes and took a closer look, the bag of five shortbread cookies she had just tied up was actually gone. Is the person who just invested money to buy cake... A human or a ghost? Is it a demon or a charm? The old woman shuddered immediately and hurriedly accelerated the pace of pushing the cart. There is a faint mist at night outside Yanzhou City, and the moon shines on the forest. The woody flowers are in full bloom in the forest, and their sweet fragrance is intoxicating. In the hexagonal four-column wooden pavilion, a person lingered for a long time under a pair of hanging lamps with golden halo in the corner of the pavilion. The wind blew through the grass and trees, and among the rustling of leaves through the forest, there was a faint fragrance. "Wha—!" A piece of white silk about four feet long streaked through the air like a white rainbow, flying from the top of a tall tree to the pavilion. A sharp arrow was tied to one end of the silk cloth, and it hit the back of the waiting person's head. The man in green clothes in the pavilion seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. His body suddenly dwarfed, and with a "ding" sound, the sharp arrow directly penetrated a pavilion pillar on the opposite side. The man fluttered his sleeves and turned around, shaking his head towards the purple figure on the treetops outside the pavilion: "What a ruthless attack! I have been waiting sincerely for a long time, and the beauty's meeting gift is too cold and harsh." "Hehe, according to what Your Excellency said, aren't you cold and hungry now?" The voice of the woman in purple on the treetop was as soft as the spring breeze, with a hint of honey. The person in the pavilion smiled slightly: "Yes, then tell me how to compensate me?" A ramie baggage slid down from the treetops along the grooves of the silk cloth, and landed on the square stone table in the center of the pavilion. The person in the pavilion opened the bag and saw that inside was a small pot of warm Huadiao wine and a tightly wrapped brown paper bag. Even though the bag was separated, the tentacles were still warm and crispy. He opened the bag and saw five crab-colored pancakes stacked horizontally inside, which were only the size of a three-year-old baby's palm. He gently smelled the aroma of the cake and said with a smile: "Why did you give me a bag of shortbread?" "I heard that the Yanzhou shortbread made by the vendor Cai Granny is pretty good with pickled pork and vegetables. I thought you might be hungry, so I bought it for you to try and drink with it." "The fifteenth night is approaching, why is it sesame crispy cake and not the five-nut pie made in advance by Wuweizhai?" "Although the objects are different, the emotions are the same. Take a closer look at the moon in the sky. What color is it now?" "The moon... It should be said that there is a layer of crab yellow on the white background." "Look at these shortbread cookies again. Are they the same color?" He was stunned for a moment, then compared it carefully, and found that it was indeed the case. He shook his head slyly and said loudly: "It looks very much like Miss Su's makeup tonight." The woman frowned, spread her arms outwards, and flew down to the pavilion on white silk, wearing a long skirt with wide sleeves like purple clouds. The beauty threw the jasper-colored shawl from her shoulders, slammed it against his cheek, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, Young Master Pan? How can my facial makeup be so... Ah!" Suddenly, the other end of the silk fabric quickly twisted around. Mr. Pan straightened the silk fabric tightly, and then pulled it tightly in. The beautiful woman staggered and was locked in his arms, but he heard him smile and said, "With the breeze and the bright moon accompanying you, you will have more beautiful faces and peach blossoms traveling together, as you wish." As he said that, he held up the other's small and delicate cheeks with his right hand, smiled at the woman's rose-colored upper and lower lips, and lowered his head to kiss her. "Ah!" In an instant, his eyes seemed to be about to fall out, his shoulders shook unconsciously, and he stared straight at the cherry lips in front of him. But he saw a poisonous needle with a faint green luster shining between the other party's glutinous beige teeth. The flying needle pierced the upper lip, and it was very cold very quickly. "You, you are not Huashan disciple Su Ninglan at all! What on earth are you..." "Who is it? It's midnight, the fragrance of my purple clothes, and the poisonous needles between my teeth, don't they mean something?" Her pupils seemed to turn deep purple at the moment she spoke. "You are, Yougu Anxiang..." Mr. Pan suddenly remembered the rumored mysterious sect that possesses the magical skill of poison attack and is good at the art of disguise. "No wonder there was a special aroma on the shortbread just now..." He suddenly fell down on the cold bricks, trembling his lips and teeth, and his face suddenly turned pale, "But, when did I, Pan Yanzhe, ever offend someone from the noble sect?" "There is no grudge." The woman stood up and shook her head with a smile. Her voice was still as gentle as the spring breeze, but it was the voice of a strange woman. "It's just that someone is willing to offer one thousand five hundred taels of silver to ask us to end the life of Second Young Master Pan tonight. I happened to encounter something on the way tonight, and I bothered you to wait in the Young Master's Pavilion for a long time, which delayed your time to go to hell." At this moment, she slowly raised her left hand hidden under her long sleeve and stroked a strand of hair from her temple. Only then did Mr. Pan realize that the other party was wearing a black metal glove, and he shouted in horror: "Tell me, who hired the murderer?!" "I can't tell you who the other party is. But I can tell you that the employer left a message saying, 'What you owed in the past will have to be paid back sooner or later.'" "Wait a minute! I am the legitimate son of the Pan family, and I became a disciple of the Wudang sect Tianshu at the age of seven... If you kill me, you will become the enemy of the Jiande Pan family and the Wudang sect!" The woman shook her head again, her eyes cold and cold: "You talk too much." The poison takes effect quickly. Mr. Pan roared in pain several times, shouting "Medicine, please give me the antidote". Black and red blood spilled out of the corners of his lips and stained his clothes. He grabbed his hands in the air and struggled for a moment, then became motionless. The jasper-colored shawl slowly fell on his bloodless face, covering his unclosed eyes. A silver object was stuffed into one of his hands by the woman. She quickly retracted the white silk and took off her cloud-like coat, revealing the dark purple outfit underneath. The long chain hidden in a single glove emitted like a ray of silver light and quickly hooked around the high branch of a big tree. Her whole body soared like a purple swallow, leaving behind a string of calm but erratic sounds. "The one who brings incense comes at midnight to judge all living beings under the moon, to give blood for blood, to kill to stop killing!" Chapter 3 Secrets Su Ninglan had a tiring journey all the way. When she rushed back to the Su Mansion in the north of Huzhou City with the Nine-sectioned Fox, Su Jinfeng's birthday was still five days away. The courtyard is quiet, and the camellia and peony branches and leaves washed by the spring rain are particularly green. At the first lunch when father and daughter got together after two years of separation, Su Ninglan discovered up close that her father's handsome face did not show the joy and satisfaction it should have, but instead looked gloomy. Instead, her stepmother Liu Pianqing was diligently serving her husband food and wine. Liu Pianqing smiled and said: "Ms. Sir, it's rare for you and Miss Ning to meet again. Now that the Su family is facing a double happiness, you should also be with her..." Before she could finish her words, she swallowed back the second half of the sentence in Su Jinfeng's cold and stern eyes. "Double happiness?" Su Ninglan looked up at her father in confusion. After dinner, Su Jinfeng called Su Ninglan into the study. Su Jinfeng looked at his daughter, who was a little taller than before, and said, "In the past two years, you have been practicing martial arts in the Huashan School. I wonder how you are doing in the 'Qiping Sword Technique'?" Su Ninglan was suddenly stunned - it turned out that she had never mentioned to her father in her previous letters home that she was practicing the "Chess and Ping Sword Technique" that could be quickly achieved. She didn't ask any more questions and said truthfully: "I just finished practicing the seventh pose, 'Yuke Yipeng', and there are five more poses left." Su Jinfeng saw his daughter's hesitant expression just now and did not continue to ask. He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said slowly: "Over the years, I have been hesitating as a father. There are some things... I don't know whether I should tell you now." Su Ninglan said with an indifferent attitude: "If you shouldn't say it, then there is no need to say it." "Pa!" The tea cup was paused. Su Jinfeng frowned and sneered: "Okay, my daughter has grown up and knows how to taunt her father." Su Ninglan bit her lower lip lightly and lowered her eyes and said, "A Ning didn't dare to sneer at dad. She just saw Mrs. Liu and couldn't help but feel sad for her mother who is thousands of miles away." Su Jinfeng sighed softly, stood up from the chair and said: "It seems that you are still worried about the separation of your parents in the past. The relationship between your mother and I, summarized in an ancient poem, is 'as high as the sun and the moon, as close as the couple'." Su Ninglan listened to the last verse and said angrily: "My daughter heard that my father was collecting medicine in the mountains and accidentally broke his arm. He happened to meet my mother who was passing by. The two fell in love at first sight and agreed to get married. Later, you learned that my mother hid that she was a singer at Jinling Linglongfang. You felt that your status as a gentleman in the Western Zhejiang Business Federation was insulted, so you quickly chose to divorce..." Su Jinfeng had a look of dismay on his face: "Who did you hear these words from?" Su Ninglan sneered: "Of course it is a rumor, but 'groundless rumors may not be unfounded'. Only my father knows the truth. If you choose to divorce because of your mother's past, it makes sense, but Liu Pianqing once opened a rouge and gouache shop, and her identity is not necessarily innocent, so you just don't care. It can be seen that your past identity is just an excuse for you to want to divorce!" Su Jinfeng finally suppressed his anger: "A Ning, you only know one but not the other. Anyway, dad can tell you the real secret behind He Li." He said with melancholy: "Do you know the ins and outs of the decline of the Huashan Sect in recent years, the rise of the Wudang Sect, and the enmity between the two sects?" Su Ninglan said: "Master said that the Huashan sect was founded by the old man Lanling. It gradually showed signs of revival in the 20th generation of its head, Xu Shuzhen. Its seven direct disciples all have outstanding martial arts and extraordinary courage. They are the best in the world. The leader of the younger generation is known as the "Seven Swords of Huashan". Many years ago, Xiao Shuhan, the fifth generation leader of Wudang, was engaged to Miss Li Rumeng from Mingyue Villa in Huangshan. However, the latter was engaged to the "Seven Swords of Huashan". Chu Yifeng, one of the Swordsmen, fell in love and eloped. Wudang regarded this as a great shame, and their relationship with Huashan suddenly turned into a confrontation. Later, Li and Chu returned to the Li family with their children, and everyone in Wudang and Huashan gathered at Mingyue Mountain. On the third day of the villa, after a tragedy occurred in the villa, outsiders saw corpses everywhere and blood on the walls. They thought it was because the three parties had too much resentment, which led to the tragedy, causing Wudang and even the Jianghu to point the finger at Huashan..." Su Jinfeng sighed: "At that time, the 'Seven Swords of Huashan' were either dead or lost. Only the young disciple Su Yinyu was still alive. The leader, Xu Shuzhen, knelt in front of Wudang Gate for a month in great pain, and finally abandoned his martial arts. At this point, Wudang Sect Xiao Shuhan broke through and accepted Huashan's apology, and the two sides reconciled. After that, although the Wudang Sect was established for a short time, it was due to the royal family's treatment of Emperor Zhenwu and the founder Zhang Sanfeng. Respect gradually flourished. In addition, Huashan fell overnight and Shaolin was criticized for stealing the "Tianyi Divine Water". Today, Wudang has finally become the number one sect in the Central Plains and enjoys a unique reputation. My father knows that it is not easy for you and the brothers and sisters in the Huashan sect to shoulder the important task of restoring glory. But if you suffer from the burden one day, go back to the Su family and don't pay attention to the gossip. " She turned away and said, "Are these the important things Daddy said?" "Oh, you kid, you are still as impatient as before. What my father told A Ning today is related to secrets from many years ago. Just follow me." Su Jinfeng closed the door, took his daughter to the back room, and came to the wooden cabinet with antiques on the south wall. He stepped on the two inconspicuous carved ridges on the bottom of the wooden cabinet at the same time. What was amazing was that the antique wooden cabinet began to slowly sink along the wall. After sinking completely into the ground, a small door was revealed, with a carved phoenix and peony on the door. Su Jinfeng took off the one-foot-long iron flute hanging on the wall and inserted it into the phoenix eye on the door, and the small door opened in response. Su Ninglan was stunned - she had lived at home for many years, but she didn't know that there was such a mystery behind the antique wooden cabinet in the study. It turned out to be a weapons room. Various weapons such as knives, swords, halberds, and sticks were placed on the walls, tables, and iron shelves. The nameplates of the weapons stated their texture, size, casting year, and origin. Hanging on the wall were more than ten ink paintings about characters from swordsman novels in the Tang and Song Dynasties, including "Old Lanling", "Lu Sheng", "Nie Yinniang", "Jing Shisanniang", "Red Line", "Kunlun Slave" and other pictures. Su Jinfeng put his hands behind his hands and said: "A Ning, do you know what is the most precious weapon of our Su family?" Su Ninglan looked at the weapons on the shelf and guessed: "Is it the Qionggui Sword?" Su Jinfeng shook his head, and Su Ninglan continued to ask: "Ruicai Flying Needle? Xiaotian Emei Thorn?... Jianye Double Sword?" She guessed more than ten kinds of weapons in a row, but her father denied them all. Finally, he said in a deep voice: "It's the dragon and phoenix swords. One is the dragon bone, and the other is the phoenix marrow." "Dragon and phoenix swords?!" Su Ninglan asked curiously: "My daughter heard that scholars mentioned them in the North, saying that these two swords, which are neither gold nor jade, contain important martial arts secrets, but both must be in hand at the same time. Since dad said they are the most precious weapons of the Su family, why have I never seen them in the villa?" "They are indeed not in the village. It's a long story. The dragon bone and phoenix marrow swords are the relics of the former master of the Seven Star Sect." "Seven Star Sect? Wasn't its main sect destroyed nearly twenty years ago? How did dad get the dragon and phoenix swords?" "This is the secret that daddy wants to tell you today." Su Ninglan looked at Su Jinfeng doubtfully. He pulled his daughter to sit on the stone bench beside him and said slowly: "Seventy years ago, the dragon and phoenix swords were obtained from the Prince of Nanjun by the wandering monk Kongming and were given to the tenth generation leader of the Seven Star Sect, the master Su Ang." Su Ninglan cupped her cheek and said, "Master said that the Seven Star Sect has a close relationship with Master Yin Yu, one of the 'Seven Swords of Huashan'. She must be the daughter of the Su Ang Clan Master." "Yes, and the Su Clan Master is also related to our Su family." Su Jinfeng said solemnly. Su Ninglan suddenly opened her eyes wide. "Actually, when it comes to genealogy, Su Ang is my cousin." Su Jinfeng told the secret, "Master Yinyu is Su Xiuying, the daughter of Su Ang, the leader of the Seven Star Sect, and she is also my cousin. She had been a martial arts fanatic when she was young. When she saw that the master Su had created his own "Lengchuan Sword Manual", but adhered to the ancient motto that it was passed down from one lineage only to men and not to women, she asked her father for a pair of dragon and phoenix swords as a birthday gift. "Then, Su Xiuying secretly engraved the incomplete Lengchuan sword manual on the translucent dragon and phoenix swords by writing backwards, and even partially wrote on a jade chessboard in the boudoir. When the two swords are placed in a certain position, they will be reflected by the light refracted by the prism at the same time, and the text will be written on the vertical jade chessboard. Therefore, this does not count as stealing from the book, and it can also prevent others from stealing the sword manual. Later, Su Xiuying took the two swords away and joined the Huashan Sect, with the Taoist name "Yin Yu". " Su Ninglan raised her palms and praised: "What a brilliant idea! In this way, although Master Yinyu cannot practice Lengchuan swordsmanship himself, he can pass it on to the disciples who take over the mantle, such as Master Kumei and my master. However, was it really true that the Seven Star Sect Master had no knowledge at all? " Su Jinfeng smiled slightly and said, "That's a good question. The secret reflected in the carvings was later known to his father Su Ang, but he did not take back the swords because he only had one daughter and naturally had selfish motives. Later, the Qixing Sect's library accidentally caught fire, and only fragments of "Lengchuan Sword Manual" remained. Before his death, Sect Leader Su told Hang Shikai, the new leader of the Seven Star Sect, not to worry. The fire prevented others from coveting him, which might be a good thing. He then mentioned the secret about the copy of "Lengchuan Sword Manual" and wrote to his daughter at the same time, preparing to temporarily lend the Dragon and Phoenix Swords to the Seven Star Sect to copy it secretly. At that time, in order to prevent anyone from knowing the secret, not long after the two swords arrived at the Seven Star Sect, they sent another prism - she knew that except Hang Shikai, no one else knew the secret of the dragon and phoenix swords. " Su Ninglan murmured: "In order to keep the secret of the sword manual, the Master of the Seven Stars Sect really took great pains. " Su Jinfeng shook his head slightly: "When the sword manual is copied, the prism and the double swords should also be returned to Master Yin Yu at the same time. In order to deceive others, the leader of the Hang clan returned the bronze mirror and the swords in two parts. But before the two swords could be sent back, an accident happened again - when the Seven Star Sect was in internal strife and foreign enemies invaded, the leader of the Hang Sect died fighting to keep the secret of the Seven Star Sect. The Dragon Bone Sword disappeared, his only son Hang Sheng died, and his grandson Jicong disappeared. Fortunately, before he died, Master Hang used his last strength to tell the secret of the dragon and phoenix swords to the only two remaining disciples around him, Lu Jingxing and Su Yujing. " Su Ninglan was thinking about it when her father continued: "Su and Lu hid the two swords. Due to the disintegration of the Seven Star Organization, they temporarily concealed the swords as agreed; Lu Jingxing took the fragments of "Lengchuan Sword Manual" and traveled to Japan to attract the attention of various sects. The seventeen-year-old Su Yujing stayed in the Central Plains with her sword in disguise. Master Yin Yu, the leader of Huashan, thought that Hang Sheng was dead and his swords were lost, so there was nothing he could do. However, many years later, the secrets of the Dragon Bone Sword and the Phoenix Marrow Sword were still known to Master Yin Yu's young disciple Hai Yan. She led her people to find Su Yujing who was no longer a swordsman and had changed her name. " Hearing this, Su Ninglan felt that his voice was particularly cold, and suddenly said: "Dad, your study is called 'Jingzhai', could it be..." She saw her father nod and said: "In the past, the youngest disciple of the Seven Star Sect, Su Yujing, escaped in disguise and took the alias Su Jinfeng. " Su Ninglan looked at her father in astonishment and heard him murmur: "It was my lifelong wish to protect the Dragon Bone Sword and the Phoenix Marrow Sword, but... On the way to escape, I broke an arm after falling off a cliff at Qixia Mountain in Jinling, and happened to meet your mother Yu Hen. During the days when she took good care of me, the two fell in love with each other, and we also learned that she was a singer from Linglongfang, who was good at playing the harp and singing. " "Good at playing the harp and singing? "Su Ninglan's heart thumped, and she suddenly remembered that her second mother, Liu Pianqing, was also good at playing the harp. Su Jinfeng continued: "Later, I dug out the gold and silver money pot hidden in the Su family's ancestral house, and asked someone to redeem it for Yu Xu. Unexpectedly, she knew that the owner of the money was me, and took the initiative to find me and asked to be a slave to repay her kindness, otherwise she would rather die. I still remember that day when I stopped Yu Hen's dagger from stabbing my heart in time. I felt very sorry for her and agreed to marry her. After getting married, they came to Huzhou to live together with Yuhen. " Su Ninglan listened and said puzzledly: "So, my mother didn't hide the identity of the Linglongfang singer from her father at all back then. Then why did you treat her like that? " Su Jinfeng said melancholy: "At that time, while my father was doing business to support the family, he was secretly practicing martial arts in a secret room, and he was trying to find out about Senior Brother Lu. Because I concealed my identity from your mother, I was always worried that the grudges of the past would harm her. Naturally, I felt guilty, so I loved her very much. One day when you were just three years old, I came home early to look for something and found someone sneaking into the secret room and trying to steal the Phoenix Marrow Sword. " Su Ninglan said nervously: "Who stole the sword? " Su Jinfeng said slowly: "After fighting for more than a dozen times, I guessed that the opponent was a disciple of the Five Poison Cult. Just when I wounded him and captured him in one fell swoop, I didn't expect a masked man to stop him and let the Five Poison Cult disciples steal the sword. I fought with the masked man for several rounds, and I actually realized that the man was my wife! " When Su Ninglan heard this, she opened her mouth half-open and said with a look of disbelief: "How is this possible? Could it be that you were misunderstood by the five poisonous illusions?! " Su Jinfeng closed his eyes and whispered: "Back then, I also hoped that it was an illusion, that it was a disciple of the Five Poisons disguised as his wife. Unexpectedly, Yu Hen shed tears and confessed voluntarily. She said that her real name was Xiao Heng, and she was originally an undercover agent of the Five Poison Sect who spent a lot of money to help the Five Poison Sect find the dragon bone and the Phoenix Marrow Sword. She once wanted to avoid the Five Poison Sect's tracking, but the other party threatened the lives of our father and daughter, so she had to compromise again and again. However, the Phoenix Marrow Sword was imitated by a sword-making master from other places, and the real sword was still under the secret room. Even so, I was still furious and broke up with her that night, and we never saw each other again. " Su Ninglan was stunned for a long time, and said with trembling lips: "No, I don't believe it! In recent years, haven't I been communicating with my mother regularly? It can be seen that the addresses on the letter are all real! " "Sorry, this is the second secret dad wants to tell you. "Su Jinfeng said solemnly, "I have never been able to find the whereabouts of Yuhen, let alone her life and death. When you were young, you missed your birth mother very much and often cried and wanted to see her. When you grew up, you were sometimes depressed about it. I felt guilty, so I had to think of a clumsy way... The address to which those letters were sent was indeed true, but the person receiving the letters was my old friend Hua Zhenzhen from the Huashan Sect. " "Sister Hua? "Su Ninglan was immediately stunned. She naturally knows that Hua Zhen is really the great-great-niece of Hua Qiongfeng, the fourth generation leader of the "Huashan Sect". She is responsible for monitoring the current leader of the "Huashan Sect" and is good at using the exquisite swordsmanship of the Huashan Sect, "Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng". Fortunately, Hua Zhenzhen still agreed to regularly participate in some important affairs of the Huashan Sect, so Su Jinfeng also secretly helped her. Su Jinfeng closed his eyes and said, "So every letter you write is wrapped in a larger envelope by Hua Zhenzhen and sent back to an old house in Huzhou intact. I take it home, open it, check it, and reply with imitating rain-stained handwriting and tone. I have also seen you smile happily several times. So, you can hate me for keeping it secret from you for so long. " Su Ninglan felt angry and sad after hearing this. She couldn't help but recall how she had excitedly opened her mother's letter and read it word for word under the lonely lamp during the long cold and lonely night on the Jade Girl Peak of Huashan Mountain. Su Jinfeng murmured: "Although your mother deceived me, which made me angry and sad, we are biological father and daughter after all. In my father's heart, you are always as precious as my eyes, and you will not favor one because Liu Qianqing married into the Su family. " Su Ninglan stared at her father, her hands hidden under her sleeves tightly clenched into fists. She finally knew the real reason why her parents chose to divorce, and she also thought that Su Jinfeng married Liu Pianqing from the cosmetics shop after hearing the harp music. Doesn't this mean that he still can't forget his first wife, Mrs. Yuhen? Su Jinfeng added: "Twelve years ago, Master Haiyan of the Huashan School went south to find his father. After I narrowly defeated her in three rounds of "Yu Zi Knocking on the Ping", she agreed to accept you as her disciple in the future and teach you skills with all her money, so I gave her my sect's Phoenix Marrow Sword. Later, she must have relied on the jade chessboard and phoenix marrow sword to record the incomplete "Lengchuan Sword Manual", and thus realized the "Chessboard Sword Technique". " Su Ninglan was stunned for a long time and suddenly said: "No wonder Master Haiyan always treats me very well. But my father only mentioned the Phoenix Marrow Sword. Where was the Dragon Bone Sword? " Su Jinfeng sighed helplessly: "Alas! I once changed the scabbards of the dragon bone and phoenix marrow swords, and quietly transferred the dragon bone sword to the Luo family of Huizhou fifteen years ago as a gift for your engagement to Qingyuan, the son of the Luo family. But after Brother Dongquan died violently and Qingyuan, who was still in the 'year of dancing spoons', disappeared, the whereabouts of the Dragon Bone Sword have been unknown ever since. " Su Ninglan said sadly: "My daughter has always been brooding over the misfortune of the Luo family, but it is a pity that the murderer is still at large. " Su Jinfeng frowned: "It's because dad is incompetent and has been unable to find the real murderer. However, more than half a month ago, I received a letter that seemed to be related to the mastermind behind the theft of the Dragon Bone Sword. He took out a delicate red envelope with gold foil from his sleeve, with "Mr. Su Jinfeng's Taiqi" written vertically on the cover. He picked up a porcelain bottle on the table, put his finger into the mouth of the bottle, dipped some water in it, and slowly smeared it on the red square box in the upper and lower corners of the envelope. After a while, hidden writing began to appear in the box, which seemed to be a signature. Su Ninglan doubtfully took the envelope containing the "mystery" without looking at it. When she saw the signature, she almost jumped: "Zhu Wengui? Could it be that he is the current master of the Wansheng Pavilion, the man known as the 'Ye Emperor' in the world? Seeing her father nod slightly, she asked again: "My Su family has never dealt with Wan Sheng Pavilion, why did the other party write to me?" " Su Jinfeng said: "Read the contents of the letter carefully first. "Su Ninglan took out a folded piece of ethereal green letterhead from it, shook it open and read it carefully, her face turned red and white. The handwritten letter sent by the Master of Wansheng Pavilion turned out to be a marriage proposal! Su Ninglan slapped the letter heavily on the stone table, her chest rose and fell rapidly, and she said bitterly: "In the letter, Zhu Wengui requested a marriage between the Su family and Wansheng Pavilion. He would not hesitate to spend a lot of money to let his adopted son marry me. He also mentioned that he only needed the Phoenix Marrow Sword as a dowry... This, this is simply inexplicable! " Su Jinfeng looked grim: "Wansheng Pavilion is a mysterious force from Shuofang. Over the years, its reputation in the martial arts has been both good and evil. However, the famous martial arts masters in the past dynasties have always convinced the public with their virtues, and ambitious people will never be able to live up to their reputation. Since Pavilion Master Zhu mentioned the Phoenix Marrow Sword in the letter, it seems that the Wansheng Pavilion spies have learned the secret of this sword and used it to blackmail the Su family. " Su Ninglan said anxiously: "Dad will definitely not agree to them, right? Su Jinfeng said: "As a father, of course I won't push you into a pit of fire." On the grounds of your engagement with the Luo family, I rejected Zhu Wengui's messenger on the spot, and the other party did not continue to send people to deliver the message... However, I suspect that the Dragon Bone Sword has fallen into the hands of Wan Sheng Pavilion. " Thinking of the disappearance of the young master of the Luo family after going to Western Xinjiang to seek medicine, Su Ninglan said nervously: "Dad, if Wan Sheng Pavilion is determined to covet the sword, maybe they will take action at the Su family's birthday banquet in a few days. By then we will..." Su Jinfeng held his daughter's shoulders with both hands and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Ning, dad will arrange everything. Although the villa is heavily guarded these days and nothing unusual is found, on the day of the birthday banquet, there will be a mixed crowd. You must act according to my eyes and follow my arrangements. If something happens, you can escape from the secret passage in the study. The drawings of the escape route will be given to you when the time comes. Dad must not let the conspirators threaten or harm you. Su Ninglan felt warm in her heart and nodded slightly: "My daughter will remember it." " Chapter 4 Banquet On the day of the birthday banquet, Su Jinfeng and Liu Pianqing and their housekeeper Peng Ren were in charge of welcoming the guests at the main entrance. Su Ninglan was registering the birthday gifts with the servants in the attic. She noticed from the window that many merchants' carriages and horses were parked outside her door one after another, and then everyone stepped into the main entrance with gift boxes in their hands. For a moment, it was like a bustling crowd. Next, monk Huizhen of Shaolin Temple, Master Fengchuan of Tiantai Sect, Han Tinglan, the master of Jinsefang, and many martial arts figures such as the masters of various water villages in Twelve Links Wood appeared outside the door one after another. Many righteous people in martial arts gathered in the side hall of the Su family. The housekeeper was leading several servants and maids to welcome the distinguished guests to the main hall one by one. Opposite the seats is a stage, where a female performer is dancing with sleeves and singing softly. After all the representatives, elders, and disciples of each faction were seated, a deep voice came from the hall: "Su, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long! " The host Su Jinfeng, who was wearing a jade-encrusted futou and a red brocade dress, attended the meeting and bowed his hands to everyone in the hall. He was accompanied by two girls: the first one was the step-mother Mrs. Liu, who was graceful and graceful, and the latter one was the eldest lady Su Ninglan. Everyone stood up and returned the courtesy, and compliments and courtesies such as "Master Su", "Master Su" and "Brother Su" came from the table one after another. Su Jinfeng raised the celadon wine that his wife poured out with her own hands and said loudly: "Everyone has come from afar to make the Su family's humble house shine. I'm hosting a banquet for you all today. Please talk about friendship and get drunk before resting! "As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall clinked glasses and congratulated him. A moment later, Qian Bin, the attendant who greeted the guests outside the door, raised his voice and said, "Tian Shuzi, the younger brother of Wudang Xiao Sect Master, led his disciples to pay homage to the Master of the Marquis Village! " This well-known guest in the martial arts world came uninvited, which made the Su family father and daughter very puzzled and looked at each other blankly. Master Tianshu was in his forties. He flew elegantly from the steps into the hall, his long robe billowing in the wind. Behind him, two disciples of the Wudang Sect came in carrying a sliding pole. Master Tianshu raised his fly whisk and saluted: "Pindao traveled to Yanzhou five years ago and accepted a young man as a lay disciple, Yanzhe, the second son of the Prime Minister of Pan County, Jiande. " He waved his palm and struck at the curtain in front of the sliding pole. The curtain floated up, and a sickly young man was leaning inside. Su Jinfeng asked in confusion: "Master, is he your disciple? " Master Tianshu glanced at the other party, shook his head and said: "No, this is Jiang Xiaowu, the bodyguard of Second Young Master Pan. He then said to Su Jinfeng: "Mr. Su, I would like to ask Miss Su to come forward now." Su Jinfeng was stunned for a moment, then turned sideways and said, "A Ning, senior Tianshu asked you to go over, so just go." " When Su Ninglan approached the sliding pole with a puzzled look on her face, Jiang Xiaowu opened his eyes wide, stared at her face for a moment, and said excitedly to Master Tianshu: "Yes, she is Miss Su who has appeared in Wuchang County and Yanzhou, etc. I know her even if she turns into ashes!" " Master Tianshu asked: "If you take a closer look, can you be sure? "Jiang Xiaowu nodded his head and said in a trembling voice: "You can see clearly, that Miss Su is almost exactly the same as her! " Su Ninglan was "monk Zhang Er was confused" for a moment, and said confusedly: "What on earth are you talking about? Why can't this girl understand a word? Su Jinfeng also didn't understand: "Master, what happened?" " Master Tianshu said expressionlessly: "On the night of April 13th, Jiang Xiaowu found that his young master had died in Fang Feilin, Yanzhou. Later, he was attacked by unknown persons during the rescue process, but fortunately he survived. Today, Pindao is my disciple, seeking justice from Mr. Su. " Peng Ren said: "Absurd! My master has no enmity with the Pan family of Jiande. Is there any reason to attack Mr. Pan? Besides, do you have any conclusive evidence to accuse the Su family?! " Jiang Xiaowu whispered: "To be honest with you martial arts seniors, a month ago, the second young master met a woman who knew martial arts in Wuchang County, Hubei Province. She claimed that her surname was Su, her maiden name was Ninglan, and she studied under the Huashan School. After the two returned to the south of the Yangtze River, they kept sending letters, and their last date was at Fangfeilin in Yanzhou. When he died, the young master had a woman's powder scent and a ribbon left on his body. I wonder where Miss Su was on the night of April 13th? " Su Ninglan couldn't help but walked forward quickly and said with consternation: "Everyone, please listen to me first! Because I am a disciple of the Huashan Sect, I have basically lived on Mount Huashan for the past six years. I just came down from the mountain to return home more than a month ago to celebrate my father's birthday. In the middle of my trip, although I stayed in Jiayu County, Hubei Province for a few days, I did not pass through Wuchang County. I didn't know Master Pan at all, and there was no way I could meet him in private, let alone return to Jiangnan or exchange letters with him! On the night of April 13th, I was still in Langxi, Xuanzhou. Someone must have impersonated me, and Master Pan died! " Master Tianshu said: "I came here to visit Mr. Su's family because the case is full of doubts. Since Miss Su explained it like this, I can't just listen to it and make blind judgments. He said to Su Jinfeng: "Mr. Su, could you please show me your family crest on the spot?" " Su Jinfeng signaled Peng Ren to take out a silver and jade family emblem from his waist and held it up for everyone present to see. At this time, Su Ninglan seemed to suddenly remember something, her eyebrows were raised, and her teeth bit her lips. Master Tianshu said: "Jiang Xiaowu, where is the murderer's accessory that you picked up that night? "Jiang Xiaowu tremblingly took out a bloody waistband from his sleeve, handed it to Master Tianshu, and said feebly: "It must have been the murderer who accidentally dropped it in the second young master's hand when he was leaving. " Master Tianshu raised his silver waist plate and said to everyone present: "On this small silver plate inlaid with jade, the words 'Snow Crane under the Moon' and 'Huzhou Sumen' are clearly visible! Master Fengchuan and Master Huizhen, you can compare these two family emblems to see if the texture is the same. " Monk Huizhen of Shaolin Temple and Master Fengchuan of Tiantai Sect are quite prestigious in the martial arts world. After they came forward to compare in person, Monk Huizhen said: "Monks don't lie, Donor Su, these two family emblems are indeed made by the same craftsman!" " Yu Han on the side said: "Everyone has direct evidence proving that the two murders are related to the Su family. The Su village owner said that there is no evidence. We must give an explanation to our two factions. " Su Ninglan raised her voice and said: "Everyone, I can naturally explain the family crest! A month ago, when I left Huashan and passed through Jiayu County, I was attacked at Wangji Restaurant by a gangster who was suspected of being "An Xiang". During the fight, I left my family emblem behind. The Jiayu County Yamen also had a record of the case, but I was afraid of my father's reproach, so I never reported it. Today, I swear an oath in the name of the legitimate daughter of the Su family. If I tell any lies, I will be punished by heaven and earth! " She spoke plausibly, and many of the martial arts people in the audience were dubious, suspecting that Master Pan Yanzhe died of the "Secret Fragrance" organization inexplicably because of the temptation of his beauty. Master Wu Tianshu said with consternation: "Mr. Lanhua has no old enmity with the Pan family, so why did the Dark Fragrance Killer choose Yanzhe as his target? " Butler Peng said angrily: "If there is no old hatred, it does not necessarily mean that there is no new hatred! What's more, it's hard for a hero to be a beauty. Cai Jucheng, the former leader of the Wudang sect, was tricked into a brothel and owed a huge debt, not to mention the second young master Pan who was much more mediocre than him? "As soon as these words came out, the faces of several disciples of the Wudang Sect suddenly dimmed. While everyone was talking about it, Butler Qian outside the hall reported again: "Master Yu Haner of Donghai Pearl Castle has arrived——!" Su Jinfeng and his daughter thought in unison: "Another uninvited guest?" " Yu Han, with a strong figure and a smart black dress with white trim, stepped into the main hall and saluted: "Master Su, the next generation of the island's Ouyang City Master came to celebrate his birthday. There is a gift that needs to be opened in public. " Without waiting for Su Jinfeng and his wife to reply, he clapped his hands three times, and a pair of followers carrying a big red wooden box with long sticks appeared behind him. The followers carefully placed the wooden box on the ground, and Yu Han said in a cold voice: "Open it! Seeing his gloomy expression, Su Ninglan couldn't help frowning and thought to herself, "What a rude guy." " As soon as the lid of the wooden box was opened, everyone in the hall sighed. Inside the lid of the box, there were actually two male corpses wearing Pearl Castle clothes! The body's clothes were stripped off, and the flesh and blood protruded from the waist and back in the form of curved sword marks. Su Jinfeng's face was as cold as ice, and he shouted: "What does it mean that Yu Er is in charge?! " Yu Han's eyes were cold and stern, he raised his hands and said loudly: "These two disciples went to Ninghai County to perform a mission and died about half a month ago. Master Huizhen and Master Fengchuan, you can go forward and examine their bodies to see the fatal wounds on their bodies. " Monk Huizhen and Master Fengchuan bent down to inspect the body. After a while, Monk Huizhen sighed: "It seems that the two of them were killed by a unique sword energy that blocked the waist, killing them with one move. Master Fengchuan frowned slightly: "The deceased had deep and winding scars on his waist and abdomen." This kind of swordsmanship is strange, but I have heard of it before. "After he finished speaking, he glanced at Su Jinfeng and said, "Master Yu Er should also know something about it. " Yu Han nodded and said: "It is true that the two heroes have the same view. In fact, our City Lord Ouyang has thoroughly investigated this matter, and it seems that it is inseparable from Lord Su. Butler Peng was furious and said: "Master Yu Er, don't make false claims out of thin air!" " He was stopped by Su Jinfeng's long-sleeved brush. Yu Han crossed his arms and said, "To create such deep and winding scars on the waist and abdomen, only the 'bending bow and sweeping the ground' sword technique jointly created by the heads of the Su family in Huzhou and the Luo family in Huizhou can do it. Luo Dongquan has been buried in the loess. Apart from you, Master Su, who else can do it right now? " Su Jinfeng frowned and said loudly: "The sword wounds alone cannot prove that they were the murderers of Su. In the past two months, Su has never left the Huzhou area. Brother Sun Mingwei from the Huzhou Chamber of Commerce can vouch for this. " As soon as he finished speaking, a fat man in purple stood up and said: "Mr. Yu, Master Su and I are negotiating a large deal. We have met almost every day for the past two months. He has no time to go to the coast. " Yu Hanhan smiled and said: "Is it possible that this brother Sun is with Mr. Su twelve hours a day? "Sun Mingwei was speechless for a moment. Fengchuan Shang's voice was loud and loud, overpowering the voices of everyone in the hall: "Please be quiet, everyone present! At present, both sides insist on their own opinions, so it is better for everyone to make concessions for the time being. " Monk Huizhen said: "Everyone carefully inspected the body and found that the scars were special and very similar to the 'bending bow and sweeping the ground' sword technique. However, we can't make assumptions based on swordsmanship alone. Do you still remember the dragon and phoenix swords left behind by the Seven Star Sect? Aren't the scratches on their swords' blades just like the curved bodies of snakes? "After everyone heard this, they began to talk about it. Master Fengchuan nodded and said: "According to common sense, if the murderer holds one of the dragon bone and phoenix marrow swords, but is worried that others will know the secret and kill them, then all the people he hurts will have similar scars. However, it cannot be ruled out that someone intends to frame and frame Master Su. " Suddenly a masked man burst into the hall and said in a low voice: "But I heard something that the dragon and phoenix swords of the Seven Star Sect once fell into the folk and were later obtained by one person. This man had some connection with the sword, and later became a businessman, but still acted as a Confucian knight. After speaking, he pointed at the host in red brocade: "He is today's Su Jin Feng." " Su Jinfeng said displeasedly: "Who are you, Your Excellency? "The masked person said: "A person who knows your past. " Su Jinfeng struck at the man with his palm and said, "You are so sneaky, why don't you dare to show your true face to others? The man avoided the wind of his palm and said with a smile: "Master Su, your family has hidden the dragon and phoenix sword for many years. Maybe it was helplessly blackmailed by some martial arts people. Later, after committing a crime, you hid the murder weapon and the thief shouted to catch the thief. Do you still want to hide it from your martial arts colleagues?" " At this time, Liu Pianqing suddenly said: "This gentleman is right, the perpetrator of the murder does have the missing sword. My husband, don't make the same mistake again and again. Su Jinfeng said coldly: "Madam, be careful what you say!" " Liu Pianqian said in a plaintive voice: "My lord, why don't you hand over those two swords to the martial arts alliance, maybe you can get leniency! Su Jinfeng glared at her and said, "I forgot to be careful about the pillow villain." Say, who instigated you to slander our Su family?! " Liu Pianqing sneered: "I didn't slander you. One said he lost his family crest, and the other refused to admit that he had a sword. How could there be so many coincidences in murders in the world? " Su Ninglan thought of her fight with "Mr. Deng" at Xiangyuan Pavilion in Jiayu County, and then related the fact that someone in Fang Feilin pretended to be her and committed the crime. She couldn't help but blurt out: "Liu Pianqing, you intend to lead the death of Master Pan and others to the Dragon and Phoenix Swords. Are you the person sent by the Anxiang Organization?! " Liu Pianqing's eyes were filled with surprise, and she said with a smile: "Miss, why did you only mention the secret fragrance but not the Wansheng Pavilion? Oh, I almost forgot, you seem to be planning to marry Wansheng Pavilion, right? If you don't believe it, please read this letter! After saying that, she took out an envelope from her arms, handed it to Master Fengchuan and Monk Huizhen to look at it and said: "I accidentally discovered it when I was cleaning the study for my husband. It seems to be related to some Wansheng Pavilion master!" "After saying this, she quickly ducked behind the masked man, her movements as light as a swallow. Su Ninglan angrily scolded: "Witch! "After speaking, he raised his right hand and was about to slap her, but was suddenly stopped by Su Jinfeng's long sleeves. Then he flicked the area and said to the masked man: "I'll give you this dart back!" "Su Ninglan was stunned. She never expected that she was almost attacked by the opponent just now. The masked man skillfully took the bounced plum blossom dart and fled away like a cloud of black smoke, which shows the mastery of Qinggong and evasion. Liu Pianqian smiled brightly and was about to say something when she suddenly gasped and fell to the ground, clutching her neck. But he saw her mouth and nose bleeding instantly, struggled for a while and then stopped moving. Everyone in the hall was shocked. Han Tinglan, the owner of Jinsefang, boldly squatted forward to check for a while and said: "There are very tiny needles of cow hair on Mrs. Liu's neck, it seems that she used a small needle blowing needle hidden in the trap to sneak attack. To be able to silence these two people in an instant, it was obvious that someone deliberately prevented the witness from telling the secret. " Yu Han said with a bad tone: "Master Su Dazhuang, you have to give us an explanation for Mrs. Liu's words before her death and her sudden death. " Su Jinfeng suddenly said: "I understand the purpose of some people's coming. You are just coveting the dragon bone sword and phoenix marrow sword for the purpose of committing crimes. If I don't hand over the sword, you will never give up. To be honest, the dragon bone sword was one of the tokens handed over to the Luo family. It disappeared after the death of the head of the Luo family, and the only remaining sword in the Su family was the phoenix marrow sword. He called his servant Wu Fu and ordered: "After you go to Jingzhai, pick up the sword from the cabinets under the swordsman picture on the north wall. Go and come back quickly." "As he said this, he glanced at Su Ninglan. Su Ninglan saw the urging in her father's eyes, shook her head and said: "Dad, they are clearly here with bad intentions, you can't hand the sword to them..." Before she could finish her words, she received a heavy slap on the face, and heard her father shout: "I spoiled you before! " Su Ninglan was knocked to the ground by him in shock. She could only sit down on the ground holding her swollen and sore cheeks, her face full of grievance and surprise. The maid Hongye hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of the young lady's lips, stuffed the handkerchief into her palm, and pinched her hard at the same time. Su Jinfeng on the side said coldly: "Hongye, take the lady into the boudoir, and you are not allowed to come out without my order! " Su Ninglan previously felt that there was something inside the kerchief in her hand, but now she looked up and saw her father's face was calm, but his eyes contained guilt and love, and suddenly she heard him say in a secret voice: "Go to the secret room quickly, and after you and Li Jun find Cousin Meng in Wuchang with the fake sword, then go to the Huashan Sect. " Hongye hurriedly bent down to help Su Ninglan: "Miss, please go back to the building with your slave for now. " Su Ninglan understood, stood up and cried, like pear blossoms with rain: "I am not wrong! I also look down on my cowardly father! "As he said that, he covered his face and pushed Hongye away and ran away. Yu Han was suspicious and raised his chin to signal the disciples of Pearl Castle to follow him, but Butler Peng stretched out his arm to stop him. Su Ninglan ran around to collect herself, and she and Li Jun, who had been waiting at the door of the study for a long time, entered along the secret passage behind the wooden cabinet of "Jingzhai" in the study. Because of time constraints, they took out a bag of gold leaves and a wrapped bag from the secret compartment behind the two paintings "Jing Shisanniang" and "Kunlun Slave" in the "Legend of Swordsman" hanging on the wall. Su Ninglan hurriedly changed into the men's cloth stored in the rattan box, then took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, hastily wrote several identical notes in the code words of the Huashan School, and stuffed them one by one into the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg and sealed them. Then Li Jun put the wrapping bag on his back, picked up a Qionggui sword with a dark red scabbard from the iron stand, and said to Su Ninglan, who was looking at the sword room blankly: "Miss, come with me quickly! " At the end of the secret passage is the cemetery in the back hill of the Su family. After the two of them carefully opened the secret door of the tomb passage and came out, they happened to see the nine-jointed raccoon dog making noise on the tree to steal bird eggs. Su Ninglan let it lie on her neck, and then ran away along the path. Su and Li were less than seven miles away from the villa when they were pursued by a group of people in the woods on the hillside. In order to distract the pursuers, Li Jun and Su Ninglan hid in the treetops and used the sound of slingshots and rocks to the east and west to lure the people away. At the Xin'an Riverside, the two met a masked killer again. Li Jun held a fake phoenix marrow sword and once again diverted the pursuers away. He ran towards a steep cliff alone. There was already a cliff in front of him, but he resolutely chose to jump off the cliff with his sword. Su Ninglan cried silently, because her father once saved Li Jun's life, and he was a righteous servant who could sacrifice his life for his master. Chapter 5 Old Friend Su Ninglan released a homing pigeon in a hidden place, then opened the handkerchief handed over by Hongye, and based on the detailed map drawn on the inside, she finally arrived in Wuchang County, Hubei Province, and found her cousin Meng Yixiu's home in Yongxing County. In the spring of this year, Meng Yixiu suffered from inconvenience in his legs and feet due to an accident while smelting ore. This time, Su Jinfeng's birthday gift was delivered in advance by a servant and he did not attend. After walking around the screen wall, Meng Yixiu was pushed to the front yard in a wheelchair by his servants. He saw a young man carrying a rattan pigeon cage on his back and holding his cousin's Qionggui sword. His body was dusty and stained with blood. He hurriedly asked why. Su Ninglan was afraid that her cousin would be worried, so she naturally didn't dare to say anything. She just said that she was rushing back to the Huashan Sect. She accidentally offended a bandit on the way and had to stay at her cousin's house to wait and see what happened. Meng Yixiu frowned and thought for a moment, then called the servants to clean up the empty house so that his niece could live in peace. He said that he had quietly dug a tunnel in the back room where firewood was piled in the kitchen, and put emergency supplies in it so that he could take temporary refuge in case of changes. Finally, he said that his younger son was suffering from chickenpox and was being taken care of by his wife Wu Xiuhe, who had had chickenpox, so the mother and son could not see anyone for the time being. Su Ninglan thanked her profusely. After briefly freshening up in the room, she changed into clean women's clothes and borrowed paper and pen from her cousin to continue writing secret letters. At midnight, Su Ninglan tossed and turned on the canopy bed and couldn't fall asleep. Then she felt her mouth was dry, so she got up and wanted to drink water, but found that the teapot on the table was empty. She didn't want to wake up the servants, so she took the Qionggui Sword and walked lightly around the small courtyard to pour water in the kitchen. Suddenly she heard a strange sound of stones falling. So she went all the way under the east wing and saw the figures in the room swinging back and forth on the window paper, and the people inside seemed to be arguing about something. She was thinking about whether to poke a small hole in the window paper with her fingertips and peek into the room, but she hesitated for a moment and simply huddled next to the wall and listened. While coaxing the child, the woman in the house said crisply: "I heard someone said that your distant cousin Su Jinfeng was questioned by people from the Wulin Alliance at the birthday banquet about the deaths and injuries of Pearl Castle and Wudang Sect disciples, and was also involved in the matter of the lost dragon and phoenix swords of the Seven Star Sect. And your niece, she obviously escaped from home! The man said: "Even so, she is a weak woman who defected to us. As elders, we should accept her." "Su Ninglan thought: "It turns out to be my cousin and aunt. " She heard her cousin mockingly say: "Ha, Miss Su is a disciple of the Huashan Sect. She is skilled in martial arts, how can she be a weak woman? You might as well persuade her to dedicate the dragon and phoenix sword to the person in charge of the famous martial arts family. The cousin said nervously: "Xiuhe, what do you want?" "My cousin said firmly: "My aunt doesn't want to bring trouble into the house, our good son is still young! You quickly find a reason to send your niece away. If you need a car or a horse, we can provide it at a big discount! " My cousin said dissatisfied: "She is just avoiding the limelight. How could a woman like you be so ruthless? "My cousin shouted at the top of her lungs: "That's better than your kindness as a woman causing harm to the whole family! What if people from the Wulin Alliance come to us to ask for someone? Can you take charge at that time?! " "Crack! "A clear slap came. It must be that my cousin was slapped by her uncle. My cousin immediately burst into tears, which scared the baby in the cradle and screamed. Then the maid took the baby and coaxed her. Only then did Su Ninglan understand: It turned out that Cousin Meng's son was not sick at all, and her aunt argued with her cousin because she didn't want to bring disaster to the family. She came from a well-known and decent family, and she has always had a strong self-esteem, so naturally she did not want to embarrass Cousin Meng's family. So she put on her men's clothes again, left the letter, and left without saying goodbye at night. What the girl didn't know was that she had just left over the wall, and Meng Yixiu and his wife knelt down in the bedroom to thank a masked man in black for not killing their son - it turned out that they were also forced to perform such a play. Su Ninglan did not dare to rush from the city, so she had to stay in rural villages all the way, and soon arrived at Jiugong Mountain in Tongshan County, Hubei Province. This mountain became famous due to Zhang Daoqing of the Southern Song Dynasty. Among the four peaks and five ridges, there was an endless stream of pilgrims who went up the mountain to worship Taoist temples. After Su Ninglan ate some vegetarian food, when she passed the Golden Rooster Valley on the west side, a dozen people dressed in water village costumes suddenly appeared in the valley. The leader of the man wearing a sword and a Ge shirt said: "Miss Su, you are fine. Our brothers took the trouble to come here to wait. I hope you can tell the truth about the hiding place of the Dragon Bone Sword." " Su Ninglan took a step back and said, "Judging from your accents and attire, are you from the Twelve Chain Wound Stations in Southern Zhejiang? "The man in Ge shirt was noncommittal, with a look of arrogance on his face. Seeing that the other party was aggressive, she said loudly: "One of the dragon and phoenix swords is missing, and the other was donated by my father. My father and I had a dispute over this, so I ran away from home. " The man in the Ge shirt sneered: "Everyone knows how to speak secretly, but the Phoenix Marrow Sword Mr. Su presented in public may not be real. Please ask the girl to give you a price and see if I can afford it. He pointed to an attendant holding a box behind him: "The box contains all kinds of precious pearls and jade. They will be exchanged for equal value according to the rules of the world. You will never be disappointed." " Su Ninglan shook her head: "Wu Weiyang, the chief helmsman of Lianlianwu, came out to ask, and I said the same thing, please don't continue to pester me! " The man in Geshan said without hesitation: "Girl Su, you are not in the Su family in Huzhou now. Since you refused to eat the toast, I have no choice but to..." He raised his chin and motioned for his subordinates to surround her from all sides. At the same time, he waved his sleeves and struck at Su Ninglan like a meteor. "I want your life -! " Su Ninglan immediately raised her energy and jumped into the air, quickly pulled out the Qionggui Sword behind her, and made a strong stroke towards the opposite side. A wave of energy roared towards the man in Ge Shirt. The nearby pines and cypresses fell leaves, and the diamond-shaped hidden weapons were blocked and returned one after another. Seeing something bad, the man in Ge shirt shouted: "Get out of the way! Luo Xiu suddenly rolled up, most of the hidden weapons were gathered back, and part of them was "dangdang" nailed between the rocks. At the same time, a long silver chain in his hand was wrapped around Su Ninglan's neck like a spiritual snake, which was the soul-catching chain. "The clear wind shakes the tail of the wind all day long, and the hail falls on the chessboard in the late night! "Su Ninglan turned her elbow and swung her sword, using a chess and sword technique to block the soul-catching chain coming from behind. In an instant, the exquisite sound of gold and stone jingled, and the disciples of the Twelve Links Wu drew their swords and surrounded Su Ninglan from three directions. Su Ninglan saw them besieging them together. Due to long days of hard work and lack of experience in facing the enemy, she was a little confused when facing the enemy. A deep bloody gash was quickly cut on her left arm. She quickly threw out several "Rui Cai Flying Needles" and jumped to the high slope on the other side. The man in Ge's shirt was swimming rapidly, wrapping around Su Ninglan flexibly. The poison-quenched sharp scimitar at the end danced like the poisonous tail of a Scorpion. Su Ninglan turned around and avoided more than a dozen attacks with her sword. However, because her arm was injured, her movements were slow and she was about to be wrapped around her waist by the seduction chain. Just at the thrilling moment, a golden star-moon wheel pulled by a spring rope rotated rapidly, and the sharp gear bit into the chain. The end of the long chain deflected, and Su Ninglan found a gap and fell to the ground. The star-moon wheel whirred for a week before returning to a tall green pine. Su Ninglan raised her head and said loudly: "Which hero is helping me? " A person floated down from the highest point of the cliff. He had his feet on the green pine trees. He was wearing thick black clothes and a thin silver iron mask on his face. The man in the Ge shirt said contemptuously: "It's a small trick! "The sleeves expanded like a blast, and strange red smoke came out of the sleeves and hit the girl opposite. "Don't let them come into contact with your skin, they are poisonous! "The silver-faced man shouted loudly to Su Ninglan. He jumped down from the tree and landed next to Su Ninglan. He rolled up his cloak to cover himself and left her. "Kill them! "The Ge-shirted man gave a stern order. At this moment, the swords and chains of the Lianlianwu disciples were also forced towards them. Fortunately, the silver-faced man was holding a sword to protect him, so Su Ninglan was able to parry. She shouted at the other party: "You bastard! They actually used dirty tricks against us! " The sword of a purple-clothed disciple in Lianlianwu suddenly lengthened by one foot, and his swordsmanship was strange, reaching Su Ninglan's back. Seeing this, the silver-faced man hurriedly pushed her away, but the purple-clothed man's sword had already been inserted half an inch into her back, and the blood overflowed on the cyan outer cloak, revealing a red ink color. The silver-faced man quickly sealed her acupuncture points to stop the bleeding. Enraged, he flashed in front of Ge Shanren like a gust of wind. With a flick of his palm, he shot several silver needles into the Yangbai, Sibai and other points on the opponent's face. At the same time, the sharp blade in his hand approached Ge Shanren's face, and he and the opponent struck each other with swords. "Uh-huh! " A zigzag white light flashed across the chest and waist of the man in Ge Shirt, and then his intestines were pierced and his stomach was rotten, blood was splattered everywhere, and he fell straight to the ground like an iron tower and died. The silver mask was shattered by the sword energy, the hairband was broken, and the long hair was scattered like silk. A thin line of blood flowed from the center of his eyebrows. He took a few steps back and knelt down on one knee. There was sweat on his forehead, and his eyes were dark and cold. He held Su Ninglan's waist with one arm and jumped across the pine branches like a flying fairy. Su Ninglan forced herself to catch a glimpse of the man's young and handsome face, and murmured: "Who are you? "Suddenly his vision went dark and he fainted. When Su Ninglan woke up, she found herself in a dark and ruined temple, with an apricot-yellow crescent moon hanging on the dark blue sky outside the window. She wanted to get up to drink water, only to find that she was covered with a dark coat. Because the wound was affected when she stood up with her arms, she groaned a little. A person flashed in beside the temple door, "Ah! "The ground lit up the fire, reflecting each other's faces. Su Ninglan was startled. It was the man wearing the silver mask from before. The black mask revealed his eyes, which were as clear as spring water. She didn't know the other party's intention, so she was naturally wary, so she raised the corners of her lips and forced a smile: "Thank you. Dare I ask who the benefactor is and why he saved the little girl? "While speaking, his eyes looked around. The silver-faced man's voice was cold: "Is the girl's surname Su? Those people are chasing you, but for the dragon and phoenix sword? "As he said that, he handed her the Qionggui sword that was leaning on the pillar. Su Ninglan took the sword suspiciously, slowly pulled out the scabbard, her eyes paused on the sword's edge, sheathed the sword and said with a smile: "Not bad. Could it be that Sir is also here for the sword? " The silver-faced man said: "The sword is only secondary. My trip here is for the agreement I made with the Su family more than ten years ago. To be precise, it's for you. " Su Ninglan's heart trembled, and she frowned and said: "Who is sir? " The man took out a piece of pure white moon-shaped jade from his arms, picked up the string with his fingertips and swung it gently. Under the reflection of the flames, the white jade ornament swayed like a pendulum, making a crisp and exquisite sound. Su Ninglan's eyes froze when she saw the jade pendant, and she suddenly shouted: "Qingyue Jade Pendant! Hear him whisper: "We both have had this object since childhood." " "So, you are, you are..." The silver-faced man took off his mask, revealing his true appearance - his temples were as sharp as a knife, his nose was straight, his eyebrows were slightly raised at the corners of his eyes, and he looked arrogant and unruly. He smiled faintly, with helplessness and sigh in his deep voice: "A Ning, I am Luo Qingyuan who has been missing for many years. " It seemed as if a flash of lightning flashed before his eyes, and Su Ninglan's mind suddenly went blank. She stared at him dumbfounded. Luo Qingyuan, he could be Luo Qingyuan?! When she met her fiancé, whom she had not seen for six years and who had been missing for four years and was suspected to be dead, the girl was not only shocked but also filled with joy and confusion. Su Ninglan's mind was in turmoil. Looking at the other person's face and slender figure, which were much colder than when she was young, she felt strange for a moment. It turns out that as early as twenty years ago, the heads of the Su family in Huzhou and the Luo family in Huizhou were good friends, and they made marriage contracts for their children. When Su Ninglan was twelve years old, Su Jinfeng received a letter from the Luo family, saying that the wedding had been postponed. The reason was that the head of the Luo family, Luo Dongquan, died suddenly from internal injuries in a fair duel. The young master of the village, Luo Qingyuan, had to observe filial piety for three years. After receiving the letter, the Su family sent people to the funeral. Although Su Ninglan was the young master's unmarried fiancée, she had to stay at home because she had chickenpox at the time, so she did not go with her father to mourn. After Luo Dongquan's coffin was closed and buried, thirteen-year-old Luo Qingyuan spent half a year mourning at home. He suffered from psychosis due to grief, and his condition waxed and waned. After a serious illness, his family sent him to a medical sage in the Kunlun Snow Mountains to seek medical treatment. Unexpectedly, the carriage he was riding fell into a glacier, and there was no trace of the young master's body. The marriage plan of the Luo and Su families was canceled. Facing this young man who called himself "Luo Qingyuan", Su Ninglan was still dubious. She thought for a moment and said: "The plums on the plum tree in the Luo family's backyard are always sweet after they are ripe. When you were a child, you climbed a tree to pick fruits for me, do you remember? " The other party looked sideways and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "But I remember that those plums seemed to be sour in all likelihood. One time I had a fight with you and climbed up a plum tree to hide from you. You hit me with a bamboo pole under the tree, causing me to almost lose my footing and fall. My arm was scratched by the branches, leaving scars. "After saying that, he rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, and there was indeed a long and thin scar on it. Su Ninglan had just deliberately tested him by asking him about his childhood, and then deliberately told the opposite. Seeing what he said, she believed him a little more. She excitedly held his left hand and said eagerly: "Qingyuan, where have you been all these years? Why never go home? " Luo Qingyuan lowered his eyes and said, "It's hard to put it into words. When I was thirteen years old, in order to seek medical treatment, Uncle Tang and I passed by the glacier bank of the Kunlun Mountains. Our carriage encountered robbers and I was seriously injured. When I woke up, I was in the Wansheng Pavilion, and the dragon bone sword I carried with me was missing. Later, they put me in a killer camp for training. " Su Ninglan's eyes widened, and she said heartbrokenly: "Have you been trapped in Wan Sheng Pavilion all these years? Those devils... Them, how did they torture you so cruelly? " Luo Qingyuan said: "As soon as my fever subsided, someone who looked like the hall master took me to see the protector. He suddenly sealed my meridians and forced me to drink the 'Forgetting Dust' soup containing Gu insects, causing me to lose my memory and change my name to Wuyuan. Fortunately, in the past year, I was poisoned while performing a mission. When I was vomiting blood, I accidentally vomited out the poisonous insects, and then I gradually recalled certain things, but I could only recall a very small part. I thought of my identity, and I thought of you in the Su family, but they were only fragments. " Su Ninglan listened silently, touched the Qingyue Jade Pendant and said: "I heard that the Wansheng Pavilion is always heavily guarded, how did you escape? " He spoke eloquently: "Three months ago, I escaped quietly while on an assassination mission. I was chased by fellow disciples of Wan Sheng Pavilion along the way. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to escape danger several times. Last month in the teahouse in Enshi, I accidentally saw the green moon jade pendant hanging around your neck when you were selecting tea. I was so surprised that I didn't dare to recognize you rashly. Unfortunately, I realized that I was being followed by my fellow disciples. I didn't want to bring harm to you, so I turned around to avoid it, but I had no choice but to be separated from you again. " Su Ninglan said in surprise: "Then why do you appear here? Luo Qingyuan smiled bitterly and said: "A few days ago, when I finally arrived in Huzhou, I heard along the way that the Su family was involved in a murder case and that Miss Su's personal bodyguard fell off a cliff with a sword and disappeared. But I still didn't believe it. I suspected that you would return to Shimen Huashan and you would encounter enemies along the way, so I was looking for you in the dark. Fortunately, God was kind enough to let me find you. " It turns out that the truth of what happened that year was that the Wansheng Pavilion, coveting the relics of the Seven Star Sect, did not hesitate to harm a thirteen-year-old orphan who was in mourning and seeking medical treatment. He also made his hands covered with blood, and even the few memories of the past were sealed one by one. Su Ninglan said earnestly: "Qingyuan, tell me, who leaked the secret of the dragon and phoenix swords to the devil Zhu Wengui?! " Luo Qingyuan shook his head slightly: "The disciples recruited by Wan Sheng Pavilion are more complicated, and I didn't know about it due to my limited status. " Su Ninglan couldn't help but feel anxious: "I don't know what's going on at home. I'm worried about my father and want to go back and take a look immediately. Can you help me? " Luo Qingyuan stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder: "This is inappropriate, you should trust Uncle Su and never act recklessly. And the top priority now is that I must escort you back to Master Haiyan as soon as possible to discuss strategies to deal with the enemy. " She thought for a moment and said tiredly: "I'm sorry, I was too careless about the overall situation. Luo Qingyuan said warmly: "I understand your mood." " Chapter 6 Seeking Medical Treatment After her life experience was revealed, Su Ninglan changed her name to Qingyuan and asked the other party to call her A Ning. After Su and Luo left the ruined temple, they disguised themselves as an old woman and a middle-aged man. They hired a carriage and headed west. When they were near the Wuli Pavilion, they passed by four or five people dressed as merchants. Those people took out the portraits in their sleeves and asked Luo, Su and the coachman about the people in the paintings. Although Su Ninglan greeted the coachman and told him not to talk to anyone looking for someone along the way, when the coachman was asked about the portrait, he still couldn't help showing a surprised expression. One of the businessmen asked: "Uncle, have you seen this person?" The driver hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, it would be great if we could meet such a beautiful girl." " The merchants' eyes paused on Su Ninglan, who was dressed as an old woman. They saw her covering her mouth with a silk handkerchief and coughing lightly, looking old and sick. A businessman said: "The old man seems to be seriously ill. Does he want to go to the village to seek medical treatment? The middle-aged man in green shirt and gray face nodded and said, "Yes, my aunt has asthma." "The merchants' eyes met quickly, and then they said goodbye. After the carriage entered the valley, the road was winding and rugged, and the mountain wind became fierce. The only way to move forward was to give up driving, so Su and Luo prepared to cross the bridge and climb the mountain. After a stick of incense, when they got off the carriage and were about to step onto the narrow cliff ropeway, the merchants suddenly turned back and one of them handed a cloth bag to Su Ninglan and said: "Old lady, we happen to have a bag of dried snow pears here that can stimulate body fluids and quench thirst. Please pick two of them yourself. "Su Ninglan still kept her mouth shut, but waved her hand to decline, and was about to leave. The clinker suddenly stretched out his hand to clasp her right wrist bone, pulled it sharply, peeled off a layer of wrinkled fake skin, and sneered: "How can an old woman's hand bones be so delicate? "At the same time, he shot out a flying needle with one hand and stabbed Su Ninglan in the face. Soon enough, Su Ninglan leaned back flexibly, used the five fingers of his left hand as a palm knife, struck the man's arm, and kicked the opponent's leg bone to get rid of the sneak attack. Another businessman sneered: "It turned out to be the movement technique of 'Golden Cicada Escapes', how can it be hidden from my eyes? " Su Ninglan shouted: "Where did you come from?! "When the other five "merchants" saw this, they all pulled out their swords from their sleeves, surrounded Su Ninglan and Luo Qingyuan and said, "Those who know the truth, quickly hand over the dragon and phoenix swords! Luo Qingyuan glanced at the other party with sharp eyes and whispered to Su Ninglan: "Let's resist for a while and then take the opportunity to cross the suspension bridge." " The killers all attacked and attacked with vicious moves. Luo Qingyuan pulled out the retractable iron sword hidden in his long sleeves and quickly stabbed one of the killers in the heart. The opponent held the iron sword horizontally and tried to deflect the sword light. In a flash of cold light, the sword had already seized the heart and killed him with one move. Su Ninglan quickly pulled out the soft sword from her waist with one hand, and opened the cage of the Guan Jiujie raccoon hanging on the horse with the other hand, hoping that it would protect its master in danger. Because she was injured and had been exhausted mentally and physically for the past few days, she spent a lot of energy when fighting the sword. She could only watch the silver hook slash towards her ankles and eyes. "Ouch! "With a sound, the silver hook that was stretching forward stopped, but the man was heard to say anxiously: "What is this?! " It turned out that the brown-gray raccoon dog suddenly pounced forward, raised its sensitive front paws and clawed at the killer's eyes. Taking advantage of this gap, Su Ninglan happened to avoid the opponent's killing move and backed up against the mountain wall. But the killers released poisonous smoke pellets, and Luo Qingyuan, who was blinded by the smoke, was hit in the back with a hammer and spit out a mouthful of blood. Luo Qingyuan quickly took Su Ninglan's arm and jumped with her to the cliff ropeway. Looking at the suspension bridge over the rushing river in front of him, he shouted: "Hurry across the bridge! "Just as the two of them were running towards the opposite cliff on the rickety long suspension bridge, they suddenly heard the shrill cry of the nine-jointed raccoon dog. It turned out that the two chasing killers immediately swung their knives hard and cut off the rope at one end of the suspension bridge! After Luo and Su heard Jiujiuli's call, they hurriedly grabbed the suspension bridge ropes and bridge boards when they fell off the bridge. Both of them were hanging precariously on half of the suspension bridge. At that moment, the two killers on the opposite side picked up their bows and arrows and shot at the two people who were in danger. When Su Ninglan heard the sound, she knew something was wrong. Fortunately, the two banks of the Mingyu River were far apart, and the wind in the valley was strong and the suspension bridge was shaking constantly. Most of the arrows missed their aim or fell into the river. However, two arrows shot into the rattan box behind Su Ninglan, giving her a false alarm. However, Su Ninglan's left arm was already injured. At this moment, Su Ninglan couldn't hold up his left arm and suddenly let go, half of his body suddenly tilted. Fortunately, his wrist was held by Luo Qingyuan next to him. Although he would not fall into the water for a while, Luo Qingyuan was hit by an arrow in his right shoulder, and the strength of the two of them gradually ran out. Not long after, the attackers threw a bamboo raft forcefully in the direction of the suspension bridge where they were hanging. One end of the bamboo raft was tied with a rope several feet long and was wrapped around the hands of a killer. The killer leader on the other side shouted loudly: "This Mingyu River is also called the Fierce Water River. The water is several feet deep. Anyone who falls into this river will either drown or become a crocodile's meal! As long as you two are willing to get on the raft obediently, we will pull you over! " Su Ninglan said: "Hurry up and let go of my hand before jumping on the raft! Their target is me. As long as I die, they will not make things difficult for you! Luo Qingyuan said: "No!" Am I a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death?! Su Ninglan couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, nodded and said: "Okay, we want to live together and die together." " For a moment, after hearing the sound of splashing water, the two people on the broken bridge fell into the gurgling river at the same time. Although the two of them paddled hard, they were still swept downstream by the rapids. Luo Qingyuan's head was submerged in the water many times. Su Ninglan realized that he was not good at swimming, so she took turns stretching out a hand to tightly grab the collar of the back of his neck. The killers returned to their original route, raised their swords and approached the coachman who was unable to escape after falling from the carriage. The leader said: "I couldn't bear to do it, but only the dead in this world will not reveal what happened today. Sorry! " After the sword flash, blood dripped. The assailants dug a pit in a hidden part of the trees beside the river, threw the driver's body into it, then covered it with soil and chopped some branches to cover it randomly. Let's talk about the two people Luo and Su who fell into the Hushui River. After drifting with the waves in the direction of the small waterfall for nearly a stick of incense, fortunately in the narrow valley ahead, there was a thick dead tree in the middle of the flowing water. It happened to be stuck on the rocks at both ends, blocking them and the rattan box and long wooden box they carried with them. Su Ninglan was good at water. She was barely awake and woke up the unconscious Luo Qingyuan by pinching Renzhong and Baihui acupoints. The two of them waded across the river with difficulty in the flowing water and struggled to bring the suitcase and the soaked baggage wrapped around them to the shore. Unexpectedly, misfortunes never come singly, and a heavy downpour suddenly began in the dark cloudy sky. At this time, they supported each other and found that both sides of the river valley were surrounded by water-soluble rocks and dense forests. Not long after walking, Luo Qingyuan couldn't hold himself up and fell on the grass. Su Ninglan said hurriedly: "You don't look right. Sit down first. There is medicine for internal injuries in the bag. " After getting the medicine for Luo Qingyuan to take, Su Ninglan helped him to a narrow cave to take shelter from the rain, helped him pull out the arrow shaft, applied hemostatic powder on it, and took out a clean fine cloth to bandage the wound. After that, she asked him to sit cross-legged, and she followed the healing method taught by her father, using silver needles to pierce the important acupuncture points on his head and back, and then poured the Xuanxin Qi of the Huashan Sect into his body. Who would have thought that within a moment, the Qi dissipated in Luo Qingyuan's body would begin to forcefully demand Su Ninglan's internal strength, and soon Su Ninglan could no longer hold on and fell on his back. After a while, when Luo Qingyuan opened his eyes and woke up with a calm breath, he saw Su Ninglan, who looked tired and was sleeping. He tested her breathing, then pulled out the silver needle on her body and stood up. He took off the wet coat of the unconscious girl, placed her against the rock wall near the fire, and checked her pulse before feeling relieved. Luo Qingyuan walked to the entrance of the cave and looked up at the dark rainy sky. He then opened the sword and umbrella in the long wooden box, cut some branches in the nearby forest, and took out the flint and fire sickle from the wet bag, finally igniting the trees. Since the two of them lost their dry food after falling into the water, he picked some wild fruits in the forest and ate them to regain some strength. Luo Qingyuan touched Su Ninglan's forehead, shook his head slightly and said, "You and I just met by chance. You are so gullible when you are in trouble, aren't you afraid of being used by others and putting yourself in danger? "He inserted silver needles into several acupuncture points on her face and arms, but the girl still didn't wake up. The heavy rain continued to fall, and he couldn't bear it anymore in the middle of the night. After covering her with a drying coat, he fell asleep. At dawn the next day, Luo Qingyuan woke up and saw that Su Ninglan was still sleeping on his side, so he walked lightly out of the cave. Seeing that the weather had turned sunny, he slightly curved his lips. After stepping into the stream to wash himself briefly, he walked towards the unknown mountain road ahead. Not long after, Luo Qingyuan suddenly discovered that there seemed to be traces of an ancient plank road on a green cliff in the distance. He quickened his pace and ran over, and found an ancient poem in seal script engraved on it, "The water falls shallowly, and the dream is deep in the cold weather." He immediately thought of a mysterious sect in the world - Yunmeng. Yunmeng Villa is located in the Yunmeng Lake in the Jianghan area. It has many pavilions and residences such as Cuiwei, Zhishui, Weilan, and Xinglin. On the outside, there are Shuomeng Forest, Guanmeng Terrace, Fusheng Tree, Taoyuanjin and other beautiful scenery surrounding the water. Its entrance is hidden, and it is difficult for those who are not extremely lucky to see it. The disciples in the sect are skilled in the art of dream induction, leading people into dreams, and observing dreams can heal the mind. In the late Tang Dynasty, after Li Yu took over the Yunmeng Villa, he locked the gate of the Villa with eighteen prohibitions, and the Yunmeng Sect did not leave the world for six hundred years. In the Ming Dynasty, the mysterious old man Yu Haisheng had a gambling battle with Li Mian, the twelfth generation leader of Yunmeng. Only then did Yunmeng break the ban, reopen the mountain gate, hold the Yuntai Medical Association, and admit refugees and patients from outside. Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, and fame and fortune are turbulent. However, Yunmeng Villa is able to hide away from the world. At the same time, it upholds the benevolence of a doctor and has won the respect of fellow martial arts practitioners. Thinking of this, Luo Qingyuan immediately returned to the cave to wake up Su Ninglan, but she was still asleep. He quickly put the rope around his waist around his shoulders, then tied the water-stained bundle to Su Ninglan's body, then carried her behind his back, and walked towards the cliff with difficulty. Not long after walking, he heard a rush of footsteps behind him. When he turned around, he saw that it was a young man carrying a medicine basket, wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat. Luo Qingyuan said anxiously: "Excuse me, this little brother, how to get to Yunmeng Villa? "The young man looked up and saw the two people with torn clothes and a little embarrassed, and couldn't help asking: "Who are you? " Luo Qingyuan said: "My surname is Lin, and my last name is Qing. The girl on my back is my sister. We have heard the name of the 'Yunmeng' Xinglin Saint Hand for a long time, and we have come to seek medical advice, and I would like to help my little brother to lead the way. " The young man looked at their low-blooded faces and believed a little. He smiled naively and said: "Although I don't know what the 'Xinglin Sage' is, there is indeed a Wangxi doctor with excellent medical skills in Shuizawa. Since you seek medical treatment, come with me. You must follow the method I told you, otherwise you will lose your way. " More than an hour later, Luo Qingyuan finally carried Su Ninglan into a swamp with vast marshes, and took a boat to see the doctor Wang Xi in a deep valley. Wang Xi is a veiled woman who sounds like she is only in her twenties, but her real age may have been past her prime. She checked on the unconscious Su Ninglan, first induced her to dream, then applied acupuncture and moxibustion, and sighed: "It's strange that although this girl has no internal injuries, the true energy in her body seems to have collapsed in a short period of time. I have some honey and sugar water here. Feed her some, put this Huishen Pill in her mouth, and wait and see. " After a while, Su Ninglan woke up and turned around, and found that she was in a stone house. She saw Luo Qingyuan in front of her and said happily: "You finally woke up, this is Doctor Wangxi who saved you. "Su Ninglan turned her face, looked at the female doctor wearing a veil, and murmured: "Thank you, doctor... Qingyuan, are you feeling well? " Luo Qingyuan said: "I can still hold on, but you are weak and need to rest. Su Ninglan begged Chao Wangxi: "Senior, his internal injuries are not serious. Please help him diagnose." " After Wang Xi carefully took Luo Qingyuan's pulse, he said warmly: "Thirty percent of your damaged internal energy has been restored. It seems that someone is feeding you internal energy to restore your physical strength. But the domineering knowledge you have learned in your internal strength is like the mental method inside the sword. Luo Qingyuan nodded slightly: "You are indeed right." Uh, I have one more thing to trouble me. I hope senior can heal my friend's left hand tendon. " Wang Xi said: "If the muscles and veins of the limbs are damaged, the Qi and blood will be damaged inside. Coupled with the loss of internal strength, the Qi and blood will be stagnant and blocked. Over time, the body will gradually become weak." In fact, the two of you have similar injuries, but the little girl's arm injury was minor. She was comatose because her internal energy was depleted too quickly. You can recover in a few days by resting for a few more days and adjusting your diet. But sir, you not only have external injuries, but also more serious internal injuries, so the recovery period will be longer. If you want to avoid sequelae, you should not waste your energy anymore, and use good prescriptions to clear the meridians throughout your body in the near future. "Luo Qingyuan nodded and thanked him repeatedly. Wangxi prescribed a prescription, which contained peach kernel, myrrh, Lycopodium sinensis, Lycopodium sibiricum, Millaplasma spathilis, Bloodwort, safflower and other medicinal materials. Since the medicines in the medicine house where they lived still lacked Millet Spatholobus and Lycopodium sinensis, the two of them had to go to the town to find pharmacies to prepare the medicines. But not long after Su and Luo left the stone house, Wang Xi chased after them and said to them: "Actually, this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers. I can draw a pattern, and you two can search for herbs according to the pattern on the mountain. However, if you want to completely heal the master's meridians, you have to follow the prescription for one to two months. "Su and Luo were naturally very moved when they saw her practicing medicine so sincerely. In a fisherman's house on the banks of a deep valley, Su Ninglan handed over the earrings and bracelets she was wearing to a middle-aged peasant woman and rented an empty room from her to live temporarily. The peasant woman Qiu held a pair of gold earrings inlaid with black pearls and a silver bracelet inlaid with lapis lazuli in her hands. She first weighed the weight in her palms, then put it in her mouth and bit it a few times with her teeth. She couldn't put it down for a while. Seeing how happy she was, Su Ninglan said: "Aunt Qiu, these pair of earrings and a pair of bracelets were made by a gold and silver shop in Jiangnan. They are valuable. You can exchange them for silver at the town's pawn shop. I would like to trouble my aunt to find two rooms for my brother and I to stay in temporarily for a while to recuperate. I need some furniture, utensils, stove and pots, and two pieces of clean clothes. " Qiu smiled and said, "It's okay to stay temporarily. I still have two empty rooms in my house, which contain simple furniture such as old beds and tables, but they haven't been cleaned up much. I will move some things into the house for you, including some old clothes. " "With these scraps of silver, I want to trouble you, auntie, to buy some special herbs for us at the medicine shop when you go to town to sell fish. "Su Ninglan said. "Alas, I heard that the wooden suspension bridge over the Mingyu River suddenly broke down, and the road out of the Yunmengshuizhu valley was blocked due to a landslide. The village has sent people across the mountains to find craftsmen to build roads and bridges. It is not convenient for fishermen to go out and sell fish these days, so I can't buy medicine for you for the time being. Qiu said as he wanted to return the broken silver to her. After she said this, Su Ninglan couldn't make any further demands and just said: "Let's drop this matter, but you can keep the money, it will be used as food and medical money for us in the future. " "Okay, I'll take it. "Ms. Qiu put the jewelry and broken silver into her sleeves and said with a smile, "Looking at the girl's behavior and conversation, she doesn't look like an ordinary farm girl. " Su Ninglan said a little shyly: "To be honest with you, my brother and I had to sell our properties because of the large debt my father owed during his lifetime. However, we still had difficulty paying off the remaining debts, so we had no choice but to flee to another country. Unexpectedly, the creditor followed us all the way and severely injured my brother. The two of us, brother and sister, fled to the bank of Yunmeng Ze. Firstly, we wanted to take refuge in the valley and stay here for a while. Secondly, we also wanted to ask a Xinglin sage to treat my brother's injuries. " Mrs. Qiu entered the back room first, then came out with a bunch of keys after a while, and said to Su Ninglan and Luo Qingyuan: "Come with me to the mountainside to see the house. " On the way to the mountainside, Mrs. Qiu pulled Su Ninglan and whispered: "Girl, you better tell me the truth, you and that handsome guy are not like brothers and sisters. I see you are polite in conversation and generous in spending. Is it because your parents stopped you, so you just hid it from your family and him... And escaped secretly, injuring your little brother along the way. " "Ah? No, we are not-" Su Ninglan was stunned. She had just made up the facts and entered the village. She never thought that Qiu could guess such an elopement scene. A blush appeared on her face and he hesitated: "Auntie, why do you think so? He and I are indeed brother and sister..." "Huh? How can any brother and sister be so close and respectful? I don't know how many times things like yours have been performed on the stage. Qiu smiled kindly and said, "Okay, don't worry, if anyone outside asks, I will hide it for you." " Su Ninglan glanced at Luo Qingyuan on the stone steps behind her, and saw that he was still walking with his head bowed, carrying the wooden box on his back. She wondered if he heard clearly what Qiu just said. Luo and Su temporarily stayed in a mountainside hut. Su Ninglan also specifically asked about the general route of the Valley Waterway and drew a simple map. Early the next morning, Su Ninglan borrowed some rice, flour, oil and salt from Qiu's house, and then bought a dagger from the blacksmith shop at the entrance of the village. Then she went to the mountains to find the Millet Spatholobus and Shenjincao that were missing in the prescription. In the afternoon, he found a scratch on the right side of Su Ninglan's face after returning, and hurriedly asked: "Where did you get the scratch on your face? "Su Ninglan took out a piece of Millet Spatholobus from her backpack and said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just for that? I accidentally lost my footing trying to reach it, but luckily I had a near miss. "
