Dangshan is located in the south of Yongcheng in the Song Dynasty, adjacent to Dangze, more than a hundred miles away from Langshan, between Song Dynasty and Chen Dynasty, and not far from the Zheng Kingdom in the northwest.
Luo Lingfu chose this place as the gathering place, presumably because it had a lot to do with the case.
Wu Sheng stepped on the reeds, crossed Dangze, and came to the foot of Dangshan Mountain. He quickly recognized the familiar valley.
Back then, when Zuo Shenyin and Mai came to Dangshan Mountain to refine elixirs, they annihilated the cave of Longquan Sect Master Xue and the Sixth Elder in one fell swoop. They entered through this valley.
With a feeling of nostalgia, Wu Sheng walked into the valley, recalling the hardships of that day, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, how many years has it been like this?
Just as he was counting the days on his fingers, he looked up and saw Xue Zhong walking in the capital of Ying.
Xue Zhong stood on the hillside on the left, looking at the valley, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wu Sheng went over to say hello: "Brother Xue, I'm late again. It seems that no matter where I go, Brother Xue never arrives before me. I'm so ashamed! Brother Xue... Brother Xue, what are you doing?"
Xue Zhong sighed and said to Wu Sheng: "I remembered something..."
Wu Sheng asked: "What are you thinking about so much? Do you need my help?"
Xue Zhongdao: "My uncle disappeared back then. The last time he appeared was here. He was accidentally seen by a woodcutter in the mountains. He has never been seen again since then."
Wu Sheng asked again: "Who is brother Xue and uncle?"
Xue Zhongdao: "When I came on the way, I went down the Dang River. I encountered a checkpoint and asked me for money to cross the river. Do you know where I am from?"
Wu Sheng was surprised: "Someone dares to ask Brother Xue for money to cross the river?"
Xue Zhongdao: "I gave ten ant nose coins without revealing my identity. They said they were from Zuoyi. I asked them which doctor they were, and they said they were after Zuo Bo, haha..."
Wu Sheng frowned: "Uncle Zuo?"
Xue Zhong smiled and said: "It's Zuo Shenyin. He calls himself Uncle Zuo, which is very ridiculous... A Shenyin Sect has set the checkpoint for collecting money above Dangshui. What do you think he wants to do? From Langshan goes north to Dangshui, a distance of one hundred and fifty miles. No matter how big the sect is, no one dares to add one hundred and fifty miles to their own name. They really think that this place belongs to the Song, Chen, Chu, and Isn’t there no one in charge of the border area between Zheng and Zheng?”
Wu Sheng had long heard from the Ying brothers and Wan Tao Valley Master that what Zuo Shenyin did in Langshan was done in accordance with the regulations of the princes. Later, he personally visited Langshan at night and found that it was true. in this way.
Zuo Shenyin was messing with his Zuo Kingdom in Langshan. As long as he didn't run out, not many people would care about him. But now he has expanded one hundred and fifty miles and openly set up a card to collect money on Dangshui River. It's a bit troublesome. After all, it is clear that a large area of land is included in the bag. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want when you are at the junction of the princes?
"Why did Brother Xue mention Zuo Shenyin again? Is your uncle's disappearance related to Zuo Shenyin?" Asking this question, Wu Sheng suddenly realized that something was wrong. Xue Zhong's surname was Xue! So Xiaoyi asked: "Who is your uncle...?"
Xue Zhong suddenly bowed solemnly to Wu Sheng and saluted: "I never had time to say that my uncle was the former head of the Longquan Sect. Zhong lost his father when he was young. It was his uncle who raised him. He had no heirs and treated Zhong like his own son. It is a pity that my uncle died at the hands of a thief, and Zhong Shi hates him. He often spends nights sighing and tossing and turning. Fortunately, the cause of his death was finally found out, and it was Brother Sun's fault. Zhong Ming is very grateful!"
Wu Sheng was very uneasy and hurriedly went over to help him: "Brother Xue should not be like this. I just did a trivial thing. I... deeply regret the death of Sect Leader Xue..."
Xue Zhongdao: "If it weren't for my brother Sun, I'd probably be kept in the dark all my life. If I'm sorry, I still haven't found my uncle's body. This is the biggest regret!"
Wu Sheng couldn't help but glance at the depths of the valley. There was a stone cave inside. The entrance of the cave was buried by man-made collapse. There was the burial place of Xue Ba of Longquan Sect and a group of elders.
Of course, there is no need to talk about these things, and there is no point in telling Xue Zhong. The bones were stuffed into the hole of the fire. Where can I find them? He couldn't point to the flaming eye and tell Xue Zhong that your uncle's body was stuffed in from here, right?
While he was talking, Suiyue, who was walking with the city, also arrived and asked Xue Zhong and Wu Sheng, "Do you know what the purpose of coming to Dangshan is?"
Xue Zhong was not sure. He looked at Wu Sheng and Wu Sheng muttered: "Maybe it's about longevity pills. I don't know the details. I'd better wait until the time comes to practice."
Luo Lingfu arrived at Dangshan in the evening, bringing only Fu Master Yusheng and Xiao Jianshi with him. From this, it can be seen that those present should be Luo Lingfu's core team in the academy. Needless to say, Yu Sheng and Xiao Jianshi were his disciples who had followed him for many years. Xue Zhong and Sui Yue were his close friends and old friends in the academy, and Wu Sheng was the one who walked around Yangzhou with his sharp eyes. They were all his confidants.
In front of these people, everything was unspeakable, so Luo Lingfu got straight to the point: "Formerly, the academy used Zuo Shenyin to sit in Langshan to help him establish a sect and gather monks from all over, in order to prevent the loose cultivators in the world from lacking restraint. To bring harm to the world, what he wants is peace. Unexpectedly, after his strength increased, he gradually became ill-intentioned, imposed excessive taxes, and engaged in illegal activities for personal gain, which disappointed everyone in the academy and made all the monks feel cold. After investigation, it was found that he had tortured and killed fellow practitioners and destroyed Longquan. Zong Man's behavior later led to the crime of secretly refining forbidden elixirs and leaking heavenly secrets. What's worse, he used his fault to threaten the academy, asking for the status of the princes, and threatened that if he couldn't get it, he would be framed in the academy and blamed for his fault. As you all follow, the situation is as rampant as this!"
Listening to Luo Lingfu's enumeration of Zuo Shenyin's crimes, Xue Zhong's eyes shone brightly: "Just tell me what to do if you follow the instructions? Although Zhong is not talented, he is willing to go to Langshan to be the first to fight!"
Sui Yue also said: "I've long since seen that guy dislike me. I said back then that biting dogs don't bark, but the left thief is silent and shady! Are you asking about the status of the princes? What the hell!" "
Luo Lingfu said: "The evil deeds of Mr. Zuo are obvious, and people and gods are angry. To eliminate this evil villain will bring great joy to people's hearts. There is no doubt about this. However, when handling cases in the academy, we must also pay attention to the complete collection of personal and material evidence, so as to ensure that the evidence is as solid as a mountain. Otherwise, I will greatly respect you all." It’s hard to explain. Previously, Sun Wu had found out about Langshan secretly refining and selling longevity pills, so he summoned you all to join forces and take down this line first... Sun Wu, tell me. .”
Wu Sheng hurriedly described in detail the places, people and methods of selling longevity pills.
After he finished speaking, Luo Lingfu said: "The buyer is blameless, the cave where the money is collected, the thieves' hiding place, and the delivery place. Every link must be captured, including the monkey! This time we take the person, and we will use it as a grandson." The Five Palms are planning not to let anyone escape. Once they are all captured, they will be sent to Dangshan immediately. I will wait for you here!"
Everyone agreed in a loud voice, and Luo Lingfu warned again: "Remember, you must act quickly, your shots must be accurate, you must capture people carefully, and your words must be tight. You must not let a thief escape, let alone leak any information!"
