After a tiring journey, Zhou Ziheng returned to his room to rest after saying hello. Two young people were left in the yard, or maybe he didn't feel sleepy, but just wanted to give the young people some space.
Dusk falls and a cold wind suddenly rises.
Ding Xiaodao smoothed the loose hair on his forehead, looked at Ye Rongqiu and said, "When did you join the Dragon Capture Sect? Who is the leader of the Dragon Capture Sect?"
Ye Rongqiu stood up, as if she felt a little uncomfortable after sitting for a long time. She walked back and forth a few steps, and then looked at Ding Xiaodao. Her eyes were already big and bright, and there were still tears in her eyes at this moment. She looked in the twilight. It looks like two stars, shining brightly.
"After Uncle Feng was defeated, he actually kept his bet and escorted us out of Baiyun City with Uncle Heng to find a secluded place to live. My mother missed her brother and became ill the next year and passed away. My father was absent all day long. He asked me to write down the Tianwai Feixian Sword Manual and his mental skills as quickly as possible. One day he suddenly disappeared. Later, when Hengbo heard about the news, he found out that he had returned to Baiyun City. Jianpu, himself and the home left by his ancestors were burned to ashes..."
Speaking of the sad past, Ye Rongqiu couldn't help but feel sad again. At this moment, it seemed that she couldn't bear it any longer and burst into tears.
The howling winter wind seemed to be sobbing for this woman who had experienced misfortunes in the world since childhood.
Ding Xiaodao took off his black fur and put it on Ye Rongqiu's shoulders. He gently held her in his arms and said softly: "He is a great father. He must have discovered something. He knows that if the sword manual is there, he will definitely bring it to you." Disaster. So he chose to sacrifice himself. You should be proud to have such a father."
How could the Ye family throw away a peerless sword manual like Tianwai Feixian? Ye Rongqiu's great-grandmother must have given the sword manual to Ye Feiyun, but he himself was unwilling to follow the same old path as his father Ye Gucheng.
Ye Rongqiu cried softly for a moment and slowly calmed down.
She wiped the corner of her eyes and said: "Yes, everyone in the world wants to take the sword manual as their own, especially the Qinglong Club. Hengbo said that he has found traces of the Qinglong Club's activities in the surrounding area. It may be due to lack of manpower or other reasons. Fear never took action against us, but after that we had to move to several places to live every year. Three years ago, I had achieved some success in my swordsmanship. One day I was practicing swordsmanship on the mountain when I suddenly felt someone coming behind me. He I didn't realize how he got behind me. It was like he had been standing there all along, but I didn't see him."
Speaking of such a strange experience, she felt no fear, but instead seemed a little excited. "When I looked back and saw him, it was like, just like when I saw you for the first time at the Golden Hook Casino. He just smiled softly, and I felt that he must not be a bad person. He was standing in a blue cloth Under the sun, I feel very friendly, and I feel that he is like an emperor and cannot be offended."
Ding Xiaodao smiled and said: "Even if the sky falls, he still smiles so kindly!"
The person they were talking about was, of course, Ye Kai. The leaves of the leaves are blooming happily.
"But my master has always been a loner and would never join the Dragon Capture Sect." Ding Xiaodao said in shock.
"Well, that's right. He just told me a truth and then asked me to find someone."
"What's the point?"
"He said that instead of living in fear, it is better to face fear bravely. If a person begins to know how to resist fear, there will be no more fear. He said that my swordsmanship has not many opponents in the world, and it is just experience against the enemy. But there are so few, and he should go to the Central Plains to get some experience. He also said that he has a disciple named Xiao Ding who has entered the world for the first time, and asked me to take care of each other." Ye Rongqiu looked at Ding Xiaodao and smiled softly.
"He said that Xiao Ding often holds a small wooden knife in his hand. He is a very cute person and has a nice smile."
Ding Xiaodao actually blushed and chirped: "He likes to talk nonsense when he is drunk..."
After holding it in for a while, Ding Xiaodao felt that his face was no longer so red, and he pretended to smile chicly, but he did not dare to look into Ye Rongqiu's eyes again. He asked, "Who did he ask you to find then?"
Ye Rongqiu snickered for a while and then said seriously: "He asked me to find a Taoist priest, a Taoist priest who is often drunk."
"Wudang Drunken Taoist?" Ding Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized.
Zui Taoist became famous all over the world more than 20 years ago, but he was lazy by nature and did not want to take charge of Wudang. He quietly left on the day when the head of Wudang passed the throne, and his junior brother Xuan Lingzi had no choice but to take over the reins of Wudang.
A famous martial arts figure like Zuidao Ren who has already transcended the world and travels around the world all day long is naturally the first choice for an alliance with an emerging organization like Dragon Capture Gate.
Ding Xiaodao suddenly asked: "Is it him that you were waiting for at the Golden Gou Casino?"
Ye Rongqiu shook his head and said: "No, what I want to wait for is a gambler, a real gambler, a poor gambler!"
Ding Xiaodao frowned and said, "Isn't Xuanyuan Guang a poor gambler?"
No matter you are a bad gambler or a bad gambler, you will eventually become a poor gambler, because as long as you keep gambling, you will become poor sooner or later.
Since it is gambling, who can always win?
"I heard from Master that among the top ten evil people who were famous in the world in the early years, there was an evil gambler Xuanyuan Sanguang. His gambling was also very scary. Is it possible that this poor gambler Xuanyuan is not only more powerful than the evil gambler?" Ding Xiaodao curled his lips. road.
After all, Ding Xiaodao is a young man who has just entered the world of martial arts. Many of the allusions and relationships between the characters were told by his master in his spare time. For example, the poor gambler Xuanyuan is not only famous recently, but he does not know much about it. Even the poor gambler Xuanyuan is not only known by this name. I've only heard it in gambling houses.
Ye Rongqiu sighed and said: "The meaning of a poor gambler is that he must make others poor, and usually only gambles once to make others poor. The poorer others are, the happier he is. As for why he is not called Xuanyuan Yiguang or Xuanyuan Erguang, because he will never let go until he gambles away everything, and he not only gambles money, but also gambles his life!"
How can others not be afraid of a person who dares to gamble his life with others at any time?
No matter who encounters someone who dares to gamble with you at any time, he will definitely have a headache.
But Ye Rongqiu wanted to find him.
"Do you also want to bet with him?" Ding Xiaodao smiled.
Ye Rongqiu also smiled and said: "Of course, not only bet money, but also bet lives!"
She looked at the confused Ding Xiaodao and continued: "Because he is also the one who captured Longmen. Although he is a poor gambler, he does not kill indiscriminately, and his martial arts and courage are both first-rate. But the organization suspects that he has been recruited by the Qinglong Society recently. He instigated rebellion and leaked important information."
"Just suspicion?" Ding Xiaodao was puzzled.
"Because he recently bet with Hu Ba and lost!" Ye Rongqiu said solemnly with his hands behind his back.
Of course Hu Ba is Master Hu Ba, but Ding Xiaodao doesn't understand how Master Hu Ba can defeat the poor gambler Xuanyuan Guang.
"Not only did Mr. Hu Ba defeat Xuanyuan and get important information, but he dared to plan to take advantage of the chaos on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month to seize the letter? Obviously he is from the Qinglong Society, but he still didn't want to reveal his identity, so he hired the Bashan Swordsman with a lot of money. Liu Yunfei, Nanhai Wei Toutuo, Granny Jin from Longxi, Black Widow from the Miao Territory of Yunnan, Tang Qingqing from the Tang Sect in Central Sichuan, and the master thief Sikong Zhaiyue and others went to seize that letter?" Ding Xiaodao analyzed.
Ye Rongqiu took a few steps back and forth and said: "We already know that Hu Ba is the 11th/27th branch of the Qinglong Society stationed in Luoyang, which is the 27th branch of Dongyue. There are also people from our side around Hu Ba, but who is it? I don't know. This is a secret of the intelligence department, and I have no right to know. We didn't touch him, firstly, because we didn't want to alert him, and secondly, we weren't absolutely sure. Because Xunhe's twin swords never left his side, there was no complete guarantee yet. Be sure to capture him."
She sighed and said calmly: "The Dragon Capturing Society also has strict organizational rules. For the safety of other members, no one is allowed to inquire or disturb the actions of other members. Like Hengbo and I, we are responsible for executing and tracing the information after receiving it. Even the way and time we collect information are required to be strictly kept secret. Not even Uncle Feng can know about it. As for you, the organization has said that you are a friend of Qinlongmen and have the authority to know everything I know."
"Many times, I feel that the styles of Capturing the Dragon Sect and the Qinglong Society are very similar. We will do whatever it takes to achieve our goals, even sacrificing others. The only difference is that we will not kill innocent people indiscriminately." Ye Rongqiu felt sad for a moment, with a sneer on his face, and I don't know if she is laughing at others or herself.
Ding Xiaodao smiled calmly and said: "Any large organization or sect must have its own rules and systems. This is indeed understandable."
But secretly, I was really surprised. No matter who was behind the planning and organization, these methods were definitely not something ordinary people could do.
If the person in charge of this organization falls into the hands of someone with evil intentions in the future, wouldn't it be the second Blue Dragon Society? It's even scarier because people in the organization don't know whether what they are doing is right or wrong. By the time he discovered that he was wrong, he was already deeply trapped and unable to extricate himself. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"What is Hu Ba and Xuanyuan betting on?" Ding Xiaodao asked.
"Betting on swords is also betting on lives!" Ye Rongqiu sneered, but this time she was laughing at someone else. "As for the bet, the person who sent the message didn't say anything. What he didn't say means he doesn't know. But I believe it must be something extremely important, otherwise Hu Ba wouldn't act rashly."
"As far as I know, Mr. Hu Ba has been using a knife, and he only has three fingers on his right hand, which is no longer suitable for holding a knife." Ding Xiaodao frowned.
"Xuanyuan not only thinks so, but who stipulates that those who use knives cannot use swords? Who stipulates that swords can only be held with the right hand?" Ye Rongqiu said with a smile.
