Yun Fan got some key information from the mouth of Miss Pei who played the piano: the mysterious identity of Mr. Sikong, Mr. Qin, and Deyun Theater watching the theater. Being able to find so much useful information in such a short period of time undoubtedly made him very excited!
Yun Fan stepped out from his red sleeves and looked up at the sky. At this moment, the sunset was gradually setting in the west. The afterglow of the dusk was faintly spread on the red bricks, green tiles or the brightly colored eaves of the pavilion, giving the area in front of him The prosperous evening scene of Hangzhou city adds a bit of haziness and poetry.
Yun Fan didn't stop to admire it. Now his friend's life was completely dependent on his own hands. Time was running out. One day had passed before he knew it. He was in no mood to watch the breathtaking scenery of Hangzhou! His next destination is Deyun Theater, and now he just has to wait and wait for him to arrive at the theater.
Yun Fan showed his red sleeves and glanced behind him. The moment he turned around, a green sword stood in front of him. Yun Fan recognized the person holding the sword. It was the woman who had just followed him and had a few encounters with him.
Seeing how quickly she found him, Yun Fan's eyebrows moved slightly.
Yun Fan stood there and couldn't help but joked: "I didn't scare you just now, did I?"
"I, Ye Yanran, have been in the world for a long time. There is nothing I haven't seen before." This person is Ye Yanran, one of the "Four Heroes of Qiu Shui". And the emerald-green sword was her sword—the Tianyang Sword.
Yun Fan suddenly realized in his heart: It turns out that her name is Ye Yanran, and she is indeed as her name suggests, with bright eyes, white teeth, and stunning beauty!
Yun Fan couldn't help but sneer: "Where did you go? I was afraid that you would scare those men."
"You..." When Ye Yanran heard this, she was stunned for a long time. She was speechless for a while. After a while, she asked: "Didn't you say you were looking for the murderer? You actually came to this place. What on earth are you doing? What kind of trick are you playing?”
Yun Fan ignored her series of questions: "How long do you want to follow me?"
Ye Yanran saw that he was deliberately changing the topic and was talking about other things. The suspicion in her heart deepened, and she said in a deep voice: "I think you and that monk are just like a den of snakes and rats, working together in collusion." Her eyebrows suddenly sank. Shooting two soul-piercing glances: "You want to conspire to kill our righteous people, don't you?"
Yun Fan said leisurely: "I said no, do you believe it?"
Ye Yanran stared at Yun Fan with her dark eyes and said in a stern voice: "I am the most cautious person in my life and I will not trust others easily, especially those who have deceived me."
Yun Fan looked helpless: "When did I deceive you? I never told you that I didn't know martial arts. It's just that when you drew your sword, although you had murderous intent, you didn't take action in the end, so I I am sure that you are not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately, but a good person, so I did not dodge."
Ye Yanran opened her mouth: "Anyway..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yun Fan took over: "Anyway, I can let you investigate with me, but everything must follow my arrangements. You are not allowed to act rashly without my permission!"
Ye Yanran: "..."
Immediately, Yun Fan and Ye Yanran arrived at Deyun Theater. By this time, the sky had completely darkened.
Deyun Theater has already begun to receive guests from all directions, and there are more and more spectators. The seats are almost full. The whole theater is full of people and a bustling scene.
Yun Fan and Ye Yanran found a seat closer to the back and sat down.
Ye Yanran asked seemingly casually: "Hey, you said the perpetrator left a handkerchief at the scene? Does the handkerchief still smell of alcohol?"
"Yes!" Yun Fan responded lightly. At this time, he raised his eyes and looked around, trying to find some clues about Mr. Sikong in the vast crowd.
"So you checked into the brothel." Ye Yanran continued.
Yun Fan: "Yes!"
"Then I'm a little confused. You don't have a portrait of him, and you've never seen his appearance... How do you know the murderer?"
Old God Yun Fan said calmly: "Premonition. I am a god!"
Ye Yanran curled her lips: "I have a hunch, but there is no other evidence!"
Yun Fan said seriously: "I always believe in my hunch."
Ye Yanran: "They say he is a god, but I think he is a magic stick."
"..." Yun Fan looked at her deeply when he heard this, but did not speak.
"Hey... I'm just telling you what I'm saying. There are so many people coming in and out of the inn every day. How do you know who belongs to that square handkerchief? There's also the smell of wine on it. Maybe other guests spilled wine on it accidentally. Okay, even if your guess is true, there are so many people in the brothel, how do you know who is suspicious? If someone smells of alcohol, he is the murderer. If you say it, you will be laughed at. You rely on hunches without any evidence, and you are not a magician. ."
As soon as Ye Yanran finished speaking, she felt like someone was tapping her acupuncture points, and then she couldn't make a sound or move her body. The person who tapped her acupuncture points was Yun Fan who was sitting next to him. He tapped her acupoints without Ye Yanran being prepared.
Yun Fan looked at her sideways: "I said you must obey me, nagging is annoying to death."
Ye Yanran: "..." (wanted to speak but couldn't)
Just as Yun Fan was looking back, a mysterious man in a coat sitting in the front row of their seats caught his attention. Suddenly, the words of the girl with red sleeves echoed in his ears: "Master Sikong unexpectedly I left a coat here."
The coat on this man was exactly the same as the one in the hands of the red-sleeved girl.
Yun Fan suddenly felt enlightened, and immediately stood up and walked quickly towards the man.
The man also noticed that an uninvited guest was approaching him, and he suddenly stood up and left. When Yun Fan saw this, he became more sure of his idea that there must be a ghost in that man! So he chased after him.
At this time, in Deyun Theater, a tall middle-aged man with a powerful sword walked in slowly. When the man walked past Ye Yanran, she had already noticed him. He was clearly the senior Qin Shangwu of the Righteous Ba Dao Sect.
He walked slowly to the seat in the front row, the seat that belonged to him. As soon as the owner of Deyun Theater saw this person, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Master Qin is really flattering, the gong is about to start, please take a seat!" the theater owner said respectfully.
Qin Shangwu looked very relaxed: "It's rare to come to Hangzhou, so of course I have to come to support it!"
"Yes... Mr. Qin, I heard that the four major sects of your righteous way will come one after another, right?"
Qin Shangwu said leisurely: "Well, I just came to watch the show today, so don't mention the affairs in the world."
"Okay, Mr. Qin, please take a rest and I'll pour you a cup of hot tea." After saying that, the theater owner withdrew with a smile.
At this time, the play in the theater had not started yet, Qin Shangwu glanced behind him out of boredom, and happened to see Ye Yanran sitting behind.
Ye Yanran thought to herself: "Senior, I am Ye Yanran, and I was tapped on an acupuncture point." Ye Yanran tried to move her body, but to no avail.
Qin Shangwu took a deep look at Ye Yanran and then turned around: "Humph! Even when you see your seniors, you don't come over to pay homage. You really don't distinguish between superiority and inferiority." After saying that, Qin Shangwu sighed slightly.
At the same time, Yun Fan jumped into the air, jumped deep to the eaves, and then quickly rushed towards the direction of the mysterious man, chasing the mysterious man wearing a robe and coat to a dilapidated dyeing workshop. There was no trace of him, but Yun Fan concluded that this person should be here.
Yun Fan walked slowly and cautiously, his mind extraordinarily focused, watching everything nearby.
In the dilapidated dyeing workshop, discarded and useless dyeing cloths on bamboo pens can be seen everywhere. When the evening breeze blows, it looks like a waterfall cascading thousands of miles, which is particularly eye-catching!
"Shashasha..." Suddenly, Yunfan heard the sound of very light footsteps. Suddenly, Yunfan became vigilant. He turned around and took out the green wooden stick from his waist, which was right in front of him. It was his master who gave him a self-defense weapon called: "Wuji Stick". This Wuji stick is also one of his master's treasures!
I saw him holding up the Wuji stick and slashing forward suddenly. The ordinary wooden stick seemed to have a soul in his hand, and it fell through the air with the force of shaking the mountains. All he heard was "stab..." With a soft sound, all the cloths in front of Yun Fan were torn into pieces. Without the cover of these cloths, the mysterious man immediately changed his body shape, and his body jumped up from the bottom like a top. , then jumped forward and headed straight into the distance. He obviously didn't want to get too entangled with Yun Fan, but how could Yun Fan make him do what he wanted? When Yun Fan saw this, he also bullied himself and chased after him.
Both sides chased each other, wandering around the dye house. Finally, in front of a clearing, the mysterious man stopped running. His body turned sharply and faced Yun Fan. In an instant, Yun Fan stepped forward and joined him. Hands over.
The wind blew and rolled up the fallen leaves all over the sky. The cold air hit people, and the world was filled with a sense of desolation and solemnity.
No one on the two sides said anything, they just started doing it, it was simple and rough, you came and I went back and forth, like needles against each other, using each other's tricks, how exciting! In the blink of an eye, the two had fought for hundreds of rounds. Because Yunfan had the Wuji Stick in his hand, but the mysterious man was unarmed. As the saying goes, every inch he is long makes him strong, and every inch he is short is dangerous. In this way, as time goes by, and the disadvantages of the mysterious man become more and more prominent, He was gradually at a disadvantage, and in the end he had no choice but to resist Yun Fan's offensive.
The mysterious man knew that if he only defended but did not attack, he would suffer in the long run. His mind suddenly changed and he had to change his strategy. While he saw the tricks, he watched Yun Fan's martial arts moves closely, trying to find the flaws in them. .
Finally, the hard work paid off. He caught an opening after Yun Fan made his move. He had to seize this opportunity. It was too late to say, but it was too soon. He suddenly kicked Yun Fan in the chest. , Yunfan was shocked. At this moment, the previous move had been launched, and the subsequent move had no follow-up. Therefore, the move was beyond his expectation, and it was too late to dodge. And this move came with a fierce force. Yunfan knew that if this move hit him, he would not die. He was also seriously injured, so Yunfan had no choice but to put away the Wuji stick and stand it in front of him with both hands to neutralize the kick. With a "thud" sound, the mysterious man's sharp kick hit the Wuji stick. When the mysterious man saw this, he secretly said: Just what I want! Immediately afterwards, his body suddenly volleyed backwards with the help of force, and did not stop until it was above the places where the dyeing cloth was drying. Then, the mysterious man jumped down in the air, and at the same time reached out and split the long pole in front of him into two. Halfway through, when he landed on the ground, he stretched out his hand to hold the fallen half of the Penny in his hand.
When Yun Fan saw this, he let out a low shout and put the Wuji stick across his chest. At this time, the mysterious man also had a bamboo pennant in his hand, and he also put it in front of his chest. The two of them started a posture, and the two sides became a real meaning. A fair fight!
The two of them rushed toward each other at the same time. As soon as they collided, two whirlwinds blew up around them. Sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the ground shook, as if two ancient giant beasts were fighting each other! Fighting together again. Yun Fan's body was like a dragon soaring and his power was like thunder. The mysterious man was not willing to be outdone and faced him head on.
Just hearing the sound of "bang...bang", Yunfan danced the Wuji stick to fight against him. The two sides fought fiercely for hundreds of rounds. The two of them met their opponents and met talented people. Both of them had their own merits in martial arts and were equally matched.
The two were in a stalemate. When the mysterious man saw this situation, he didn't want to get entangled too much, so he wanted to retreat. Then he simply threw the pennies in his hand on the ground. He took out three golden needles from his sleeves and shot them at Yun Fan. , and at the same time, he took this opportunity to escape, jumped up, and walked away.
But when Yunfan saw the golden needles coming with the sound of breaking through the sky, he waved the Wuji stick and used a move to return to the dragon to explore the sea. He only heard three "da da da" sounds, and the three flying golden needles were all blocked. Then, these three golden needles remained on the Wuji Stick.
At this time, Yun Fan took a deep look in the direction where the mysterious man left. Then he felt something in his heart and hurried towards Deyun Theater. When he arrived, he was shocked by what he saw in front of him, which was like a hell on earth!
Let's say that when Yun Fan was fighting with the mysterious man, gongs were also going on at the Deyun Theater.
Qin Shangwu was smiling and watching the show on the stage with joy. Suddenly, a strange wind came unexpectedly. The smile on Qin Shangwu's face froze instantly at this moment. Others may think this phenomenon is very strange. It was ordinary, but in his eyes, this was not wind, but murderous aura, and this aura was clearly coming straight towards him. He wanted to get up to check, but it was too late, because, just as he noticed something At that moment, he was no longer himself.
Qin Shangwu suddenly stood up, his heart beating wildly, as if it was going to explode, his face suddenly distorted, and he groaned in pain, and then he suddenly looked sideways, if there was someone with intentions here. At this point, you will find that his eyes are dull and dull, as if he is out of his mind. At this time, everyone's eyes are attracted by the wonderful opera show in front of them. Almost no one notices the abnormality here. Only Except for one person, she is Ye Yanran.
When she saw this strange situation, she felt something bad in her heart, but there was nothing she could do because she was still frozen in place and couldn't even speak, let alone anything else. It’s really a shame that the sky should not respond to the call and the earth should not work. What a shame!
Immediately afterwards, Qin Shangwu reached out to pick up the saber on the table beside him, roared, and swung the sword in his hand to slash and kill everyone he met. At this time, the people next to him realized that all the people here suddenly dispersed. In the theater, there were screams, cries for help, footsteps, etc., and some who were too late to run or ran slowly were Became Qin Shangwu’s killer! Broken limbs and broken arms could be seen everywhere, and rivers of blood could be seen everywhere. The entire theater instantly became a Shura purgatory! Alas! This scene can't be called "miserable"! And all this was seen by Ye Yanran who was sitting there.
In an instant, there was no one alive in the entire theater, and it fell into an extremely eerie silence.
Suddenly, Qin Shangwu turned his eyes and looked at Ye Yanran who was sitting there like a towering chicken. He walked quickly to Ye Yanran and stabbed Ye Yanran with a knife. Just when Ye Yanran thought that she would definitely die, she closed her eyes tightly. At that moment, the knife in Qin Shangwu's hand stopped just half a foot away from her head. She felt that the death she imagined had not come. Ye Yanran opened her eyes in surprise. The scene in front of her made her even more shocked. This person who had seen many strange things in the world could not help but be shocked: the knife held by Qin Shangwu also slipped away and fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, his face became more terrifying and distorted, and was filled with pain. Like, and his hands were tightly covering his heart. Since the two of them were only two feet apart, Ye Yanran could clearly hear Qin Shangwu's "plop...plop" rapid and powerful heartbeat at this time. After two breaths, Qin Shangwu fell to the ground, vomited blood and died.
Yun Fan finally arrived at this time, but what he saw was a tragic scene of corpses all over the ground, with broken limbs and arms, and rivers of blood! Yun Fan also saw the tragic scene of Qin Shangwu dying in front of Ye Yanran. There are so many mixed feelings in my heart that it’s hard to explain.
----------
In Song Wanxi's room at the Juxian Inn in the city.
Shen Qianxing: "Third Junior Sister, you just said that although you were present, you did not see the appearance of the murderer, and you do not know what kind of martial arts he used to kill Senior Qin Shangwu."
Ye Yanran held her chin with one hand and her eyes were dull: "His martial arts skills are so profound that it's hard to estimate." Obviously, she was still frightened by what she had just experienced.
Yun Fan thought for a while and then said: "But, in my opinion, the person who killed Mu Yunzhi and Qin Wushang should be the same person."
Song Wanxi echoed: "What Shaoxia Yun said is absolutely true, and I think it should be the case. Because the bodies of the two seniors have no superficial injuries, and the cause of death is unknown."
Lin Yuqing thought thoughtfully: "Could it be the work of the devil?"
Hearing this, Song Wanxi shook his head slightly: "There are only a few masters of the Demonic Way who can kill the two seniors. Besides, we also know their martial arts skills. The Demonic Way should not violate the truce agreement so blatantly."
Lin Yuqing said in a deep voice: "You dare to openly kill two righteous masters within the jurisdiction of our Qiushui Villa. This person is by no means an ordinary person and should not be underestimated! But I will definitely catch him." Lin Yuqing's eyes suddenly changed. Extremely determined.
Shen Qianxing said with worry: "The battle to seize the seal is imminent. People from Zhongxin Hall, Ba Daomen, Xuanzhen Temple and Tianshan Sect will come to our Qiushui Villa one after another to hold a martial arts conference and announce the candidates to represent the right way. And Hangzhou City It’s another place we must pass through, I’m worried…”
Ye Yanran: "Second Senior Brother, are you worried that something will happen along the way?"
Shen Qianxing continued: "The murderer is obviously coming for the right path. As long as he is not caught, our right path will always be in crisis."
Song Wanxi's eyes narrowed: "Since we, the 'Four Elites of Qiushui', are gathered here, we must try our best to ensure the safety of all the righteous allies who come to Qiushui Villa."
"Brother Yun, we misunderstood the death-seeking master before. I apologize to you on behalf of the righteous way." Song Wanxi turned to Yun Fan and said with her hands in hand.
Yun Fan looked at him: "It doesn't matter, since the matter is clear now, I can take the death-seeking master away."
Song Wanxi responded: "Well, of course!"
Yun Fan, Ye Yanran, and Shen Qianxing slowly walked out of Song Wanxi's room, preparing to release the death-seeking master.
Yun Fan spoke first: "I'm really sorry for scaring you before!"
Ye Yanran: "Why don't you wait until I'm dead before you say this."
Yun Fan said sternly: "Miss Ye, you are joking. From what I see, you are definitely not a short-lived person. You may not be dead even after I die!"
Ye Yanran crossed her arms over her chest and said seriously: "Okay, if that happens, I will bow to you."
Shen Qianxing: "Young Master Yun, is that mysterious man named Sikong really the murderer?"
After Yun Fan heard this, he pondered for a while: "I'm not sure about this Yun, but even if it's not him, it should be related to him."
At this time, a Tianshan disciple murmured to himself: "Where have you gone..."
Seeing this, Yun Fan stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, what happened?"
Shen Qianxing also asked: "Where is the death-seeking master?" Because Shen Qianxing had previously ordered them to be ready to release him.
The disciple replied: "He was already gone when we opened the door." After saying that, Yun Fan and others hurried to the room where the death-seeking master was imprisoned to check.
I saw that the entire house was intact and nothing unusual.
Ye Yanran was puzzled: "This doesn't make sense. All the window bolts here are intact. How did he escape?"
Tianshan disciple: "Ask him about this. Originally, we followed Song Shaoxia's arrangement and were ready to release him, but now, we don't even know when he escaped, so I think the murderer who killed Qin Wushang might also be him. ."
"This death wish..." Yun Fan whispered.
Afterwards, everyone worked on this matter until midnight, but still could not find the whereabouts of the death-seeking master, so in the end the matter had to be shelved for the time being. Because for them, the most important thing at the moment is to protect the other allies who are participating in the Zhengdao Martial Arts Conference.
----------
It was already early in the morning. After struggling all night, Yun Fan finally returned to his room.
Walking into his room, Yun Fan reached out and placed the Wuji Stick on the table. Suddenly, he glanced at the Wuji Stick on the table. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the three golden needles inserted into the Wuji Stick without any trace of wandering. .
The scene of the battle with the mysterious man just flashed in his mind.
Yun Fan whispered in surprise: "These golden needles are so similar..." Yun Fan seemed to have some realization in his heart.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, I was in Juxian Inn.
A middle-aged man wearing a black robe appeared here. This man's name was Yang Sufei. He was a master sent by Xuanzhenguan, one of the five major sects of the righteous way, to participate in this martial arts conference.
Just listen to Yang Sufei say: "Senior Sister Mu Yunzhi and Senior Brother Qin Wushang were brutally murdered. If I could arrive earlier and take care of them, they would not be so easily plotted."
Yun Fan also saw him at this time. After seeing his face, Yun Fan showed surprise again!
Lin Yuqing and Ye Yanran came in at the same time as him, and noticed that Yun Fan had a strange look on his face. Lin Yuqing then said, "Young Master Yun, do you know him?"
Yun Fan explained: "No, it's because he is covered with dark clouds and his hall is purple and black. His situation is exactly the same as Mu Yunzhi's."
Lin Yuqing: "You mean, Yang Sufei is also in danger?"
Ye Yanran looked at Lin Yuqing, then glanced at Yun Fan, and said with deep meaning: "Junior sister, the group of demons that my second senior brother and I exterminated in Xie Yun Mountain in western Hunan are the best at deceiving people with their monstrous words, and using this to deceive people, they don't know So many people have been killed and the chastity of many ignorant girls has been taken away because of this, so I say that sometimes a person's words can be more terrifying than a sword!" Yun Fan looked at Ye Yanran deeply, and couldn't help but feel sorry for her in his heart. Some appreciation!
Lin Yuqing said sternly: "Actually, I don't believe in fortune-telling either. I think fate should be in one's own hands, and one should rely on one's own strength to defeat fate and change fate!"
Ye Yanran praised: "Well said!" After saying that, the two women walked slowly towards the table where Song Wanxi, Shen Qianxing and Yang Sufei were sitting. Yun Fan found a seat nearby and sat down, looking at Song Wanxi and Shen Qianxing's table, especially focusing on Yang Sufei.
Ye Yanran and Lin Yuqing were heard shouting: "Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Senior Yang!"
Song Wanxi and Shen Qianxing also shouted at the same time: "Two junior sisters, you are here!"
Yang Sufei nodded slightly: "I still have an old friend here, and I want to catch up with him. I will go to Qiushui Villa with you in a few days."
Lin Yuqing continued: "Why don't we go with you?"
Yang Sufei said with a smile on his face: "Although the [Qiu Shui Sword Formation] of the Four Masters of Qiu Shui is powerful in the martial arts world, I, Yang Sufei, will not worry about you juniors."
Ye Yanran: "Senior's words are serious, we didn't mean it!"
Hearing this, Yang Sufei picked up the sword on the table, stood up slowly, clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I have my own sense of discretion. These evil heretics can't plot against me. Farewell!"
Everyone clasped their fists and responded one after another: "Senior, go slowly, we won't see you off!"
Under the watch of everyone, Yang Sufei slowly walked out of Juxian Inn. Yun Fan also looked there.
As soon as Yang Sufei left, the person sitting in a seat not far from them hurriedly got up and followed him. Yun Fan saw the food, wine and pastries on this person's table, and he suddenly felt like he had seen them before!
He thought for a moment, oh yes, he had seen it in the private room of Hongxiuzhao [Jiuchi Meulin], or to be more precise, he had seen it in the mysterious Mr. Sikong.
When Yun Fan thought of this, he immediately got up and chased out quickly.

What I can tell you is that the identity of the protagonist Yun Fan is extremely complicated. He knows many things. Of course, the ones he is best at are fortune-telling and divination. (These are also the two points that this article will focus on, and they are also the purpose of this article. (Major Features and Highlights) There is another point. In fact, I think everyone already knows that the name of the protagonist Yun Fan is actually a huge pit. As for what it is, let me explain it.
