Suiyun Mountain Range·Zhemei Hall
The moon is crescent and the snow is warm. When will the people return?
Yun Zhemei sat on a bench, sipped the hot tea in her hand, and admired the bright moon in the sky, which looked even whiter under the reflection of the white snow on the mountains.
In the rays of light, she seemed to see Yun Musheng's shadow still lingering in front of her. Why did she start thinking about that little kid again? Yun Zhemei couldn't help but laugh to herself.
Suddenly a black shadow passed by, and Yun Zhemei was immediately alert. Her hand unconsciously tightened the Mei Han at her waist. After smelling a familiar scent, she calmed down and missed Yun Musheng. Her face was full of gentleness, revealing her usual majestic face again:
"What are you doing here?"
The man walked out from the dark corner, and it was the mysterious Mr. Nan. He took off his veil, and underneath the veil was a handsome and murderous face. The bamboo hat on his head covered his eyes.
"I didn't expect you to be willing to let that kid out."
Mr. Nan's tone sounded cold, but there was a hint of satisfaction in his words. Yun Zhemei smacked her lips in disdain and said angrily:
"Hmph, you are so good after getting a bargain. Do you think I don't know that you have come to see Sheng'er many times over the past few years and taught him the art of vertical and horizontal movements? How can an ordinary person understand Kuai Xue Shi Qing at such a young age? You have already begun to prepare for him to come down the mountain."
Mr. Nan touched the jade pendant on his waist that was engraved with two sword marks, one vertical and one horizontal, and said quietly:
"It seems that you, woman, are not stupid. Senior brother died in exchange for a short-term peace and prosperity. This is the seed of continuing peace. I will never let him make any mistakes."
Jiangnan·Yizhou City·Xuanji Tea House
It should be said that this Xuanji Tea House is a good place for ordinary people to pass their time and relax.
Next to the building is the famous Ninghuai River in the south of the Yangtze River. You can sip tea and enjoy the scenery. The fragrance of tea is mixed with the fragrance of flowers. From time to time, there is a storyteller telling stories spread in the teahouse. It is really a wonderful scene. .
Bei Mingyu loves to come to this Xuanji Tea House to drink tea. He once told Yun Musheng that women don’t like men to drink, and Panax notoginseng certainly doesn’t like it either. Drinking too much will not only make you lose your temper, but also leave a fermented smell in your mouth. .
So on weekdays, when he travels with friends, he always chooses this Xuanji Teahouse, and Yun Musheng is no exception.
"I didn't expect a commoner like you to have such elegant hobbies." Yun Musheng took a sip of Biluochun in the cup and teased Bei Mingyu.
Bei Mingyu didn't pay attention. His attention was entirely on the old man who was making preparations downstairs. It seemed that the two of them were lucky today. It coincided with the appearance of Mr. Storyteller. They could have some tea while drinking tea. A pleasure.
What the old man is talking about today is the Jiangnan folk classic "The Woodcutter Pity the Flowers". It is said that there was a woodcutter on this mountain. One day when he went up the mountain to cut firewood, he suddenly saw the beautiful peach blossoms blooming on the mountain. He stopped and looked at it for a while, and met a woman. Fascinated by this peach blossom.
In this way, the two of them admired the flowers for a while, she didn't look at him and he didn't look at the flowers.
Afterwards, they met several times by chance, but the young woodcutter never dared to come forward and say a word.
Until one day, the two of them stayed a little late. Seeing that the sun was about to set, the woman was about to leave. Unexpectedly, she met a group of thieves, all of whom had vulgar faces and sinister eyebrows, and were about to come forward to tease her.
The woodcutter suddenly got the courage from nowhere, and struck with the ax in his hand. Perhaps the emotions he had accumulated from his admiration for the woman after tossing and turning for several nights turned into anger towards the thief and poured out.
As the saying goes, those who are ruthless are afraid of being ruthless, and those who are ruthless are afraid of losing their lives. When these thieves saw this crazy woodcutter, they retreated in fear. From then on, the woman and the woodcutter fell in love for life, and they grew old together and became a popular name in Jiangnan. A popular story.
"The hero saves the beauty and hugs the beauty back. This story is beautiful, but it's a bit cliché."
Although he said this, Yun Musheng listened to the whole process with great interest. Bei Mingyu smiled:
"Oh, you famous disciples are all very skilled in martial arts, so you are not afraid of those thieves, but ordinary people are different. Your hands have never been stained with blood in your life. How much courage do you need to dare to fight with your life against a knife-wielding thieves?
Besides, if you tell the truth, when you were learning martial arts in the mountains as a child, did you ever imagine such a plot of a hero saving a beauty? "
Yun Musheng was instantly attracted by Bei Mingyu's words. When his sweetheart was in danger, he stepped forward to punish the thieves and bring the beauty back. This was a heroic scene that many boys had imagined in their youth.
Although the story of "The Woodman Pity the Flower" is cliché, it tells the beautiful fantasy in the hearts of ordinary men. In this comfortable and harmonious Xuanji Teahouse where people come and go, and then vividly told by the experienced storyteller, that It’s something you never tire of hearing.
Suddenly, Bei Mingyu stood up and said to Yun Musheng seriously:
"Brother Yun, now the Crocodile Gang is doing all kinds of evil in the south of the Yangtze River. Once the people leave Yizhou City, except for the villas where a few famous people live, they are safe in other places. They have to walk quickly even in the daytime for fear of encountering thieves. ..."
"Stop, stop, stop."
Yun Musheng interrupted Bei Mingyu's suddenly serious words.
"Do you want to destroy the Crocodile Gang and become the hero who eliminates harm for the people? It's a good idea, but just relying on your martial arts... I remember the last time someone was hung from a tree and almost lost his life. "
"Of course I can't do it on my own, but it's different now. With your martial arts skills, Brother Yun, those little thieves from the Crocodile Gang are no match for you. Don't worry, I've already started investigating them.
The leader of the Crocodile Gang is called Yang Tiehu, and he is quite capable. However, his younger brother Yang Tiebao has never practiced martial arts, but he has the ability to refine medicines and elixirs. It is said that he can make an elixir that blends human blood with animal blood. The medicine was sold at a good price, so the Crocodile Gang had money to raise so many thieves. "
Bei Mingyu said it in a convincing way. It seemed that he had really done some research and knew a lot about the Crocodile Gang.
Human blood and animal blood blend together, who would need this kind of elixir? Yun Musheng felt a little strange after hearing this.
"Hate, it is said that the buyer is someone from the Hiding Sun Pavilion. There is a bastard with wolf blood in his body. He seems to be called... uh... what is his name..."
"Wolf-Eating Ghost Han Xie!" Yun Musheng gritted his teeth and said that name. This was a person he would never forget. Maybe after getting the Master's Thousand Birds Sword, Yun Musheng's next target would be Just kill this person.
"Oh, yes, yes, that's right, his name is Han Xie. That Yang Tiebao knows how to refine the blood-melting pill, and he is the cash cow of the Crocodile Gang. As long as this person is removed, the Crocodile Gang will have its foundation shattered and disperse without an attack."
At first, Yun Musheng only thought that this was nonsense made by Bei Mingyu on a whim. After listening to what he said, he began to feel that he had some serious intentions. Moreover, it was related to Han Xie of Zhiri Pavilion, which made Yun Musheng even more confused. Want to go and have a look.
Bei Mingyu continued to elaborate on his plan to suppress thieves. At the end of every month, it was the day when Yang Tiehu went to sea to personally escort the goods. On that day, only the old thief Yang Tiebao was in the gang. The two of them only had to dress up as thieves and get the goods. You can get in by holding their waist badges.
When Yun Musheng rushes into the alchemy and kills Yang Tiebao, she will have the ancestral Nether Powder in her family to help us escape.
"Since Yang Tiebao is so important to the Crocodile Gang, even if we sneak in, the pharmacy will be heavily guarded. Why should they let us in? Besides, where did you get the belt?"
Although Yun Musheng was already a little impulsive, she still felt that Bei Mingyu's plan was not good. If Yang Tiebao's life could be taken so easily, he should have been killed several times long ago.
"Don't worry, Yang Tiebao will take turns sending people to the city to buy medicinal materials in the order of the Crocodile Gang's camps every month. I've calculated the months, and this month it should be Scarface's turn in Ding camp.
That guy is just a loser, with a lustful nature. All he needs to do is use a beauty trick to lure him, find a dark corner and kill him, and then he can get his badge and enter the alchemy with a legitimate name. "
Bei Mingyu finished explaining his plan to suppress thieves in an orderly manner, which sounded complete.
Although Yun Musheng was still doubtful after hearing this, killing the evil thieves and protecting the people was the duty of people in the world. He had just turned eighteen, but he still had a passion in his heart.
"Okay, then I will accompany you to break into the Crocodile Gang, but... Well, let me tell you, how do you know the Crocodile Gang so well? It feels like it is your hometown."
Yun Musheng was a little curious. When Bei Mingyu heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly, and the corners of his eyes began to become slightly moist. He paused for a moment and said:
"As I expected, I didn't misjudge you! In fact, my brother is not dead, but he got involved with the Crocodile Gang a few years ago. He has exchanged secret letters with me for several years. I just hope that one day I can make Jiuquanxia My parents can rest in peace,
But I am alone and weak. Who would fight against the crocodile gang for a down-and-out person? Until I met you, from the day you saved me, I believed that you are a person who hates evil and hates evil. Plus the information I have collected over the years. , I believe that if you are willing to take action as a benefactor, you will definitely have a way to seriously injure the vitality of the Crocodile Gang. "
Yun Musheng squeezed Bei Mingyu's shoulder. In front of him, this down-and-out young man who seemed ignorant and idle was carrying such a heavy burden.
"So your father..."
"Alas, when I was young, I died tragically under Yang Tiehu's sword just because my father had a big business and blocked Yang Tiehu's financial path. My mother, unwilling to accept Yang Tiehu's humiliation, committed suicide with a sword."
After finishing the story, Bei Mingyu left the tea money, took the folding fan left by an unknown guest, and walked away.
