"About twenty-five years ago, a disciple of the Emei sect named Gao Cheng was driven out of Emei for repeatedly violating the rules and going down the mountain to get drunk."
Wang Fengzi poured tea for Zhu Yu and the other five people, and continued: "Half a year after Gao Cheng was driven down the mountain, when Xu Gu checked the Emei Sect scriptures, he found that the secret of Yuntong Zhifa was missing, so he had to copy a copy based on his own memory. Because there are not a few disciples coming and going from Emei, and there are even more pilgrims, we did not suspect Gao Cheng. Now that I think about it, this person has serious suspicions."
"Are you saying that it's possible that this person named Gao Cheng stole the secret of Yuntong fingering, practiced it secretly, and then killed Sima Zhen and blamed the Emei sect." Zhu Yu asked.
"This explanation makes sense, but there are no clues to find this person named Gao Cheng." Wang Fengzi sighed.
While several people were talking about this, Lan Ling'er pulled Lingya Zi back in a hurry. When she saw Wang Fengzi, she shouted, "Oh no, someone is peeking at Lingya Zi taking a bath!"
"Oh, I forgot. There is a group of bandits living in the back mountain. I forgot to inform them. I will go right away and tell these people not to come here for a long time."
As expected, Wang Fengzi's nickname of Skywalking Monkey turned around and floated out of the yard. If his martial arts hadn't been abolished, he wouldn't have known how powerful Qinggong was.
After a while, Wang Fengzi returned to the courtyard.
"It's okay. I've told those people not to come here and cause trouble for a long time."
"Can they listen to you?" Lan Ling'er asked strangely.
"They are afraid of me. Although I have lost seven or eight levels of martial arts, with the one or two levels of internal strength left behind, these bandits can't do anything to me. What's more, when they saw my Qinggong, they already regarded me as a god and treated me badly. I am so impressed that I listen to everything I say."
"Then you tell them not to rob people and go home to farm. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that they will be wiped out by officers and soldiers one day." Lan Ling'er said seriously.
"They only rob rich people and never kill anyone. If you don't let them rob here, they will go to other places to harm people, so we have to let them go." Wang Fengzi said helplessly.
In the next few days, Lan Ling'er continued to soak in hot springs with Ling Yazi every day. Lan Tian, Zhao Li and Luo Lin went to the lake to fish every day. Zhu Yu and Ling Shanzi studied medicine with Wang Fengzi all day long, and their lives were considered leisurely. , the only worry is whether Linghuazi and Linglinzi can get the nine orchids in the hands of Master Xuyun.
Because he soaked in hot springs every day, the coldness in Lingyazi's body was under control. Although he couldn't get rid of the root cause, his spirit was much better. He could also spend time with Lan Ling'er and talk about his martial arts training experience.
Sometimes, Lan Ling'er took off her clothes and took a bath in the hot spring with Ling Yazi. The water temperature of this hot spring was moderate, which was very suitable for bathing. Of course, the two of them no longer worried about anyone peeking. First, the bandit in the back mountain was beaten. Hello, I won’t come here again, and other people don’t dare to come around the lake because they know there are bandits here.
Lan Tian, Zhao Li and Luo Lin had never fished before, because there was no place to fish in Tianlong Mountain. Wang Fengzi told them that fishing was really a pleasure, so he taught them how to fish. The three of them learned it in no time. After Lan Ling'er left with Ling Yazi, she didn't practice the three skills. She hurriedly picked up the fishing rod and fish cage and ran to the lake.
There are a lot of fish in the lake. Wang Feng said that in the past seven or eight years, bandits have lived on the mountain, and the fishermen here have moved away. No one comes to fish, so there are a lot of fish. The three of them catch more than ten kilograms of fish every day. Improve food.
Zhu Yu and Lingshanzi were not the kind of people who lost their minds by playing with things. Every day, they thought about improving themselves, so in addition to practicing martial arts, they also asked Wang Fengzi to teach them the skills of healing injuries and illnesses.
Wang Fengzi imparted some of his experience in treating injuries and illnesses to the two of them without reservation. Of course, it would take a while to reach the level of treating illnesses and saving lives, but they at least knew the common methods of treating injuries and illnesses. Methods and some medicines, the two even learned how to insert needles and bloodletting, which was very rewarding.
In this way, the eight people waited for a full fifteen days before Linghuazi and Linglinzi returned to Yandang Mountain.
"This damn old woman won't give us any flowers unless we find Sima Zhen's murderer for them. They don't want to be jealous of the world for no reason." After entering the courtyard of Wang Fengzi, the Sky Monkey, Hua Guzi said angrily.
"She also said that now that Jing'er is half disabled and the rest of her life is ruined, it seems that she can only marry the hero Lan Tian." Ling Linzi's addition made Lan Tian blush and turn pale.
"That's unreasonable!" Lan Tian said angrily, but he was also frowning and had no choice.
"Don't be anxious, everyone. It's useless to be anxious. It's better to sit down and think about a solution." Lan Ling'er asked everyone to sit down in the room and said slowly.
"I think there are only two ways. One is to conduct a thorough investigation and find this Emei disciple named Gao Cheng to see if he is the murderer of Sima Zhen. The second way is to find someone to talk to Master Xuyun. If you are a good talker, go and persuade her and see if she can take out the flowers."
Lingshanzi was the eldest among everyone present and the eldest brother among the four in Qingcheng. He was the one who made the decision when the four of them encountered problems. As soon as he expressed his thoughts, everyone agreed.
"For the sake of safety, we divided our troops into two groups. One group went to find someone whom Master Xuyun could trust, and the other group went to the capital to investigate. It would be best to find the murderer of Sima Zhen at once. The question is who to contact Master Xuyun. Make peace." Lan Tian calmed down and said.
"In the Central Plains martial arts world, Master Wise Man has the highest prestige in martial arts. However, it would be rude to ask him to do such a thing. Moreover, the master has never been willing to show his face. Asking him to deal with the Sun God Cult this time is also a helpless move." Lan Tian said. , not unreasonable.
"Well, let's go and invite Master Kongkong. Master Xuyun will definitely give him a favor. In addition, the death of Sima Protector will have to be revealed sooner or later. The sooner the better." Among the four sons of Qingcheng, Hua Guzi is also very independent.
"Well, Zhu Yu and I will go to the capital for a walk. Who else among you will go with us?" Lan Tian said.
"I'll go with you. It's more dangerous to go to the capital to find out information. It's better to have higher martial arts skills. Huaguzi and Linglinzi, you two can stay and take care of Lingyazi!" Lingshanzi said.
"I'll stay too, Zhao Li, Luo Lin, you two go to the Shaolin Temple!" Lan Ling'er said proactively.
"Ling'er, aren't you going to Shaolin Temple to see your senior brother Kong Ling?" Zhao Li joked.
"I'm not going. Let's talk about this later. Get ready quickly. The sooner you go, the better."
Lan Ling'er thought that last time she went to Shaolin, Kong Ling deliberately avoided her, which made her very embarrassed. If she went to Shaolin now, she really didn't know what to say to Kong Ling, so it would be better not to say anything.
After lunch, the five people hurriedly made preparations, said goodbye to Hua Guzi, Wang Fengzi and others, and left Yandang Mountain together.
When they reached the crossroads they had walked through, the five of them separated. Zhao Li and Luo Lin headed north to Shaolin, while Lan Tian, Zhu Yu and Ling Shanzi headed to the capital and west.
Lan Tian, Zhu Yu and Ling Shanzi walked west for half an hour and came to a small town. The town was not big, but it was still lively. When the three of them entered the town, they found that there were cars and horses.
"Master Lingshanzi, Zhu Yu, why don't we rent a carriage and go to the capital. There must be a major road from here. This way we can get to the capital at least two days earlier." Lan Tian suggested.
"Yes, the sooner we arrive in the capital, the better. Let's rent a larger car, big enough for three people." Zhu Yu agreed.
Lingshanzi found a horse and carriage shop, agreed on the price, paid a deposit, and the shop designated a carriage. A middle-aged man drove the carriage over, and the three of them got on the carriage and drove to the capital without stopping.
"To go to the capital, first go west, then turn north. They are all major roads. You can get there in seven days." The middle-aged man driving the horse said while driving.
"Brother, do you often go to the capital?" Lan Tian asked.
"I go often. Every year, I make seven or eight trips to the capital, because my horse is the strongest in the industry and can handle the journey." The horse driver said proudly.
"Oh! Then tell me, what new things have you encountered?" Lan Tian asked.
"There's nothing new. I just feel that the government is getting more and more corrupt. People's lives are harder than in the past. There are many more people going up to the mountains to become bandits than a few years ago." The horse driver sighed.
"You said there are more bandits than before. How can you see that?" Lan Tian asked.
"In the past, when I was driving a large truck, it was difficult for bandits to rob people. Now, bandits have come to the official road to rob people. This year, the large truck I drove was robbed three times, all on the official road."
"Why are bandits so rampant? Are there no laws left?" Zhu Yu said angrily.
"These people are originally poor people. They can't survive so much that they engage in robbing people. They usually rob people but don't kill them, so they can be considered to have some conscience."
After hearing what the coachman said, the three of them fell silent!
