Five days ago: Xingyan Sect Shuangping Mountain
The light rain brought new flowers, and a thunder startled the insects.
Swallows carry the chill across the quiet pool in front of the pavilion, and the mist carries the color of spring, shrouding the valley of Shuangping Mountain as if it has not yet fallen.
Viewed from the side, the green mountains outside the mountains look like splashes of ink in a painting, with clouds and mist cutting off the mountainside, and a few strokes highlighting the beautiful mountains.
Just as Master Dongling of Yinxi Temple once praised: The slightly lantern screen fan is used for painting makeup, and the smoky eyebrows should be like mountains.
However, the group of people who came here did not pay attention to the pleasant scenery in the valley, only caring about the difficulty of walking on the dirt road under their feet.
Walking around the flower pond at the bottom of the valley, green smoke suddenly appeared in the bamboo house courtyard of Jingshui Pond.
The man came forward and knocked on the door. A young boy in blue came and opened the door. He handed over the jade pendant in his hand, and saw the word "Lian Zhen" engraved on this flawless jade pendant.
"Excuse me, please inform your husband that Shen Yanzhou is visiting."
The child was confused and only accepted the jade pendant and replied: "Sir, when he got up early, he said that there are distinguished guests coming today, and he asked me to come to the door early to greet him. If someone arrives, just go to him directly."
An imperceptible smile flashed across Shen Yanzhou's face, and his tense expression relaxed a lot.
The boy led the way, and he took his entourage around the cloister and boat on the water pool, and then arrived at the small pavilion standing alone on the edge of the water pool.
There is a man sitting alone outside the pavilion, wearing a raincoat and fishing.
This person is none other than Li Hanguang, the elusive Seven Killer of the Xingyan Sect.
Shen Yanzhou stepped forward and said hesitantly: "Junior brother."
The man was motionless, as if he was in deep concentration as an old monk sleeping soundly.
Shen Yanzhou asked his entourage to wait outside the pavilion, took off his cloak and stepped forward, talking to himself.
"After so many years of not seeing each other, it's hard for me, junior brother, to still remember me and wait for me again."
Li Hanguang moved and glanced at him: "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. After you finish speaking, go back to your Yuling Mansion."
Shen Yanzhou smiled and felt that his junior brother's temper was still the same as before on the mountain.
"Three days ago in Longyou County, Western Shu, a woman got married and met bandits on the road. All her attendants were killed by the bandits. Guess what, a young man suddenly appeared on the way and fought off the bandits by himself. bandits."
The child brought the tea, and Shen Yanzhou took it and took a sip: "Good tea!"
Li Hanguang raised his head: "If it's not the courage of an ordinary man, it's the action of an expert."
"Junior brother hit the nail on the head." He praised: "During Longyou's time, there were rumors about the miracles of the little immortal from time to time. Such a murderous case happened again, and we had to pay attention to it. Yuling Mansion and the disciples of the sect went to investigate. , In addition to the fine knife marks with spiritual energy attached to the body of the killed bandit, there were also scratches, bites and tears similar to those of a mandrill."
"They reported it to me, and I also sent a file to Master. Master wrote a letter asking me to come to you."
Shen Yanzhou took out a thin letter from his arms, gave him a meaningful look, and put it on the desk.
"Huang Mandrill?" Li Hanguang was stunned and said in shock: "The sect actually takes action on such a trivial matter?"
It's not surprising that he was surprised. Xingyan Sect has vaguely become the best in the world since the current sect leader Tao Shengguang took over. Apart from the disciples' experience, they will not easily go down the mountain.
But at the beginning of the troubled times, when the Great Qi of the Eastern Continent takes over the world, it is a time when everything is waiting to be revived. How can the Xingyan Sect survive alone?
Da Qi recruited many talented people to establish the Yuling Mansion, including many Xingyan Sect disciples who secretly joined it.
Just like Shen Yanzhou in front of him, he is a disciple of Xingyan Sect and one of the two chief executives of Yuling Mansion.
Li Hanguang stood up, untied his raincoat and walked inside.
The young man has thin lips and phoenix eyes, and is handsome, but he always has a cold face and does not smile when he sees his senior brother.
"In that case, why don't you go find me to investigate your matter?"
Shen Yanzhou sighed: "It wouldn't be so if there were just two kinds of scars appearing alone. Master suspected that those were the scars caused by the Flying Blade and the Wordless Heavenly Book. When the god general Deng Ming defected, he only said to the outside world Dengming took away the most precious wordless book, but in fact, Dengming also took away the flying knife that the master brought back from Qianyun in Mingshan Mountain."
Li Hanguang was surprised, his eyes were intense and fanatical: "You mean, those twelve flying knives?"
"Exactly."
The young man asked: "The Yun Fei Blade is so thin that it appears on the page. The fine scars are caused by flying knives, but I'm not completely sure that this is the Yun Fei Blade."
Shen Yanzhou rubbed the teacup with his fingers: "That man has been wandering around Shuzhou since that time, doing chivalry and justice. Do you know what the people in that area called the man who drew his sword to help when there was injustice? ? "
"Xiaoluya."
Li Hanguang had no expression on his face, but there was a storm in his heart.
Immortal Luya was originally a fairy in the storybook. Legend has it that he possesses a unique magic weapon to kill immortals and fly a flying knife. Once he uses it, he will never miss.
And the only one in the world that can be said to be a god-killing flying knife is the Flying Cloud Blade.
This set of flying knives was brought back from Mingshan Qianyun by the master.
Shen Yanzhou smiled knowingly when he expected his junior brother's reaction.
Putting aside the wordless heavenly book for the moment, the temptation of the Yun Fei Blade is something that the junior brother cannot refuse.
Li Hanguang is obsessed with swordsmanship and firmly believes in the legend of flying swords. The missing set of flying swords inside the door may very well allow him to decipher the sword-controlling skills that were lost thirty years ago in the South China Sea.
If someone can really use sword control, it will be a huge blow to the junior brother who prides himself on his extraordinary sword skills.
If you can get a top-notch master with the skills of your junior brother to take action, wouldn't it be even more powerful to handle this matter?
Maybe after the junior brother completes this matter, he can work with him in Yuling Mansion...
This is a great help...
"Master means that it is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist. If she misses the whereabouts of the Flying Blade, she will regret it for the rest of her life. I want you to set off immediately with me to go to Longyou."
Shen Yanzhou took out a piece of white jade from his arms, with the word 'Seven Kills' engraved on it: "I'll give this back to you. It's time for you to go down the mountain to practice."
Li Hanguang's eyes lit up and there was a smile on his face.
"Han Guang will definitely live up to Master's trust!"
The swallows carry light rain in their mouths in the mountains, and the hazy water suddenly bursts into light, spreading its brilliance and releasing it.
Paddling through a pool of spring water.
…
Zheng De often worked for the Hu Mansion, and occasionally returned at night. In addition, he loved to listen to the storytellers at Longquanyi and was always on the go, so he had a good personal relationship with the guards at the city gate.
After making some arrangements, he successfully took Jiang Yu into Xuzhou Mansion.
It was late at night and there was really no inn to be found. Fortunately, Jiang Yu was not cautious, so Zheng De arranged for her to stay in his own small courtyard.
Early the next morning, this man came and knocked on the door.
Unfortunately, before he even reached the door, he was startled by a sharp scream and almost dropped the plate in his hand.
He rubbed his eyes before he saw the black shadow clearly coming out.
It is the black cat who follows the little benefactor.
Yesterday, it was its meow that calmed the evil spirit. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort for the little benefactor to kill the evil spirit.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have more respect for the kitten.
This must be the civet that the benefactor brought down the mountain!
Jiang Yu heard the noise and got up sleepily. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zheng De smiling with a flattering face. On the dinner plate in his hand was a bowl of steaming tofu puffs, a plate of pickles, and some Standing aside cautiously, not daring to move.
Looking at the way his kitten was guarding the door and licking its paws, Jiang Yu understood.
This is to prevent someone from entering the house.
She raised her eyebrows, a little confused about what Zheng De was doing so early.
The man chuckled: "My little benefactor is up. I made some breakfast. I hope my benefactor will not dislike it and give me a bite."
Jiang Yu gave him a slap, turned around and motioned for him to bring the things in, and asked: "Aren't you going to the Hu Mansion again? Why do you need so much?"
Zheng De took out the tofu brain, rubbed his hands, and hesitated not knowing how to speak.
"My little benefactor, there is something I only learned this morning. I just don't know whether to say it or not."
Jiang Yu sat down and stirred the tofu. After taking a bite, his eyes lit up. However, since there were still people around him, he could only put down his spoon and said seriously: "Just tell me if you have anything to do. I'm listening."
Zheng Deheng made up his mind and told the story in detail.
"My little benefactor doesn't know. After Mr. Qi disappeared, I was very anxious. In order to catch the auspicious time for my husband to get married, I notified the Yuling Mansion in Xuzhou Prefecture and posted a notice to recruit capable people to replace my husband. To exorcise evil spirits, I heard from my father that someone went to the house early in the morning."
Jiang Yu felt relieved after hearing this.
The Hu family actually alerted the Yuling Mansion?
Although this was her first time going down the mountain, the name of Yuling Mansion was like thunder.
Born out of the Xingyan Sect of the Uncrowned King, the Yuling Mansion not only produced numerous talents, but also relied on the Qi court to become an independent force in the world. It was a yamen that specialized in the affairs of strange powers and chaos gods.
Many sorcerers, demon hunters and the like were controlled by the Yuling Mansion, and their evaluations were mixed.
Letting them come here to deal with such trivial matters is probably overkill.
She was busy stirring the bowl: "I'm still late in love."
Zheng De waved his hands repeatedly and said that was not what he meant.
Jiang Yu put down his spoon and showed an expected expression: "If the house invites another master, then I won't meddle in other people's business. You just need to hand over my master's baggage to me, and I will leave on my own." .”
Zheng De raised his hand to wipe the unnecessary sweat on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that Yin Shiqi went to look for his father and was kicked.
The second master Qi disappeared without knowing what his skills were. Maybe there was an enemy seeking revenge. At this time, he lured his apprentice to the Hu Mansion, which would be a source of trouble.
The Hu family has never been involved in these troubles, preferring to avoid them to protect themselves.
The old man poked his forehead and cursed loudly, asking him to send this plague god away quickly, not to bring him into the Hu's house, and not to let his little benefactor interfere with the husband's affairs.
At this point, all I can do is give him the things and let my little benefactor leave.
Although this is not very kind...
After the two had breakfast, they set off to Hu Mansion.
Hu's Mansion was far away, so the two of them arrived at about midnight. The few servants sweeping the house at the entrance saw Zheng De leading the people from a distance and waved hurriedly.
"Brother Zheng! Why are you here? Manager Zheng has been waiting for you for a long time. Hearing that people from the Yamen came to the front yard, he couldn't wait any longer and went to greet people first." The boy looked at Zheng happily. De, looked at Jiang Yu again and whispered: "Brother Zheng, who is this little lady?..."
"What's the yamen? You poor boy, please help Brother Zheng run an errand quickly and go to the side courtyard where Mr. Qi used to live and bring his things over."
After giving the instructions, Zheng De secretly glanced at Jiang Yu's expression and smiled: "Little benefactor, let's go in first and wait. The boy from the Wang family has quick legs and will bring it to you in a moment. We have walked for such a long time, so let's have a drink Tea moisturizes.”
Jiang Yu was pleased and did not refuse.
The two entered from the side door. There were several large water tanks with water lilies scattered in the courtyard. The leaves were sprouting. There were also several peach trees in full bloom in the courtyard. Jiang Yu's eyes stayed for a while and looked away.
Many maids and servants were busy coming and going in the corridor, and they had no time to pay attention to the two of them.
"We are busy with Erlang Hu's marriage. Isn't Hu Erlang still sick?"
When Zheng De saw his little benefactor asking questions, he quickly replied: "My little benefactor doesn't know anything. I have found someone from Yuling Mansion. I guess that it will be the matter before and after Erlangjun wakes up. The house can take care of it first, so that we can catch up with Ji." It’s good when the time comes.”
He didn't think much about it and just followed Zheng De. The two of them walked to a wing room and opened the door to find a study room for guests.
Zheng De dusted the couch for him with his sleeves, swept away the fly ash, and asked Jiang Yu to sit down.
"My dear benefactor, please sit down for a while while I go make a pot of tea."
Jiang Yu saw him leaving in a hurry and turned to look at the study.
It can be seen that the Hu Mansion is not an ordinary wealthy family. The furniture and furnishings in the room are all exquisite. There are many famous classics collected on the bookshelf, as well as some annotations by the masters, which have a deep foundation.
Behind the main seat hangs a scroll with the message "Tao follows nature", which is particularly eye-catching.
She stood under the scroll and stared at the signature - Huai Yu for a long time, so that she didn't notice anyone coming in.
Still someone I know.
The young man pushed open the door and entered, his silver jewelry clinking and clanging.
He saw Jiang Yu's back and said in surprise: "Huh? Is there anyone who got here before me?"
Jiang Yu turned around and was stunned when he heard the sound.
"Are you, Xiangyang?"
