i have a museum of curiosities

In the morning the woods were dewy and chilly.

Zhang Ye didn't care.

The sun rises, the spring breeze blows, and everything recovers.

There is a saying: Spring is the plan for a year, and morning is the plan for a day.

Spring and early morning originally imply new life, and all things are flourishing and aggressive.But in Zhang Ye's eyes, this is his own reminder.He knew very well that the journey belonging to "Shen Qi" and his mission in Wanlingtian were coming to an end.

Yunling Ferry is located in the upper reaches of the Yunhe River, and is an important waterway linking Yunzhou and Fengtian Prefecture on the Great Wall.On weekdays, there are many ships coming and going here, and there are many vendors and jugglers at the ferry.

But today, there is only a small boat moored on the shore outside the ferry terminal, and there is no one on board.On the contrary, behind the bushes in the distance, there are people moving around, and the branches are swaying.

"Tread, step—"

Zhang Ye's footsteps were decisive and crisp, and the expression on his face was calm and indifferent, and it was completely impossible to tell that he was going to die.

When his figure appeared at the ferry, the people hidden behind the shadow of the tree seemed to be unable to bear it.

"Qiang, Qiang..."

The sound of the sword being unsheathed was endless, and Zhang Ye seemed to have never heard it, and walked towards the ferry terminal step by step.

"Shen Qi, stop!"

An angry shout sounded, and a large group of figures walked out from behind the bushes.

Zhang Ye paused, turned his head away, and there was finally a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"...Xu Zhenqi, Mo Qushen, Liu Jin'an, Duan Yugui, Ji Chenghe...Why, only five of you are here from the eight Qingshuihe families? Where are the Zhang, Wen, and He families?"

Zhang Ye looked at the five people who stood with the ugliest faces among the crowd, and their faces were still neither happy nor sad.

The Eight Great Aristocratic Families of Qingshuihe were the most prestigious eight families of martial arts in the south of the Yangtze River who were bewitched by Jiang Xinjian to besiege and kill Shen Qi, but were almost slaughtered by him instead, creating the name of "human slaughter".It was also because of that battle at the beginning that the Great Qing Wulin in the East was in chaos and almost withered, and a war between Qing and Yi was almost triggered.

The few named by Zhang Ye are members of the Eight Great Aristocratic Families of Qingshuihe.

"Hmph, Shen Qi! You can't escape today even if you have wings, and you still have the mind to take care of others?" The black-clothed man named Liu Jin'an yelled angrily, pointing the knife in his hand at Zhang Ye.

Zhang didn't speak either, but instead looked to the other side of the crowd.

Jiang Xinjian stood with a long sword in his hand, with an elegant and gentle smile on his face, just looking at it made people feel like a spring breeze and feel at ease.Standing behind him were the members of the most prestigious martial arts family in the world - the Jiang family in Yuanzhou.

"The 'Four Great King Kongs' are gathered together, it seems that the Jiang family thinks highly of them."

Zhang Ye looked at the four solemn middle-aged men standing behind Jiang Xinjian, and nodded silently.

"To deal with 'Rentu', we must go all out." Jiang Xinjian smiled gently.

"Go all out?" Zhang Ye smiled evilly, and said contemptuously, "If you had gone all out half a year ago, you wouldn't have the 'human massacre' of today."

A trace of resentment finally appeared on Jiang Xinjian's gentle face, but he did not defend himself.Perhaps in his heart, there are some things that don't need to be justified at all.

Zhang Ye continued to look to the right, and when he saw the gloomy middle-aged man in a green shirt, his face suddenly turned pale.

"It turns out that Master Shen is also here."

That's right, that middle-aged man in a green Confucian shirt is none other than Shen Wuxin, the owner of Yingxue Villa.

"There are rebels and lunatics like you in Yingxue Villa. As the owner of the villa, I naturally have to clean up the house myself!" Shen Wuwei said loudly, but there was a trace of grief and despair deep in his eyes.

Behind Shen Wuyi, the third master Shen Wuming seemed to be ten years older, the corners of his mouth slowly opened, his lips were trembling, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he turned his face away in pain.

Standing beside Shen Wuwu was the swordsman Yu who could not see the end of the dragon. At this moment, he was wearing the costume of the elder of Yingxue Villa, and he nodded slightly to Zhang Ye.

Zhang also knew that he did this because he was unwilling to reveal his identity, so he returned a disciple salute cryptically.

Looking at it again, there are still many martial arts celebrities who have been famous for a long time in the world, but none of them gave Zhang Ye a good face.

Roughly counting, there are well-known masters who have appeared here in the arena, at least four or fifty.And most of these people are peerless masters whose names are engraved on the "Jianghu master list"!
Am I an enemy of the entire Central Plains martial arts...

Zhang couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart.

"Shen Qi! Thinking that you come from a famous and upright family, if you catch him quickly, we may leave you with a dead body!"

The person who spoke was one of the "Four King Kongs" behind Jiang Xinjian, but judging from his appearance, he was also the oldest one.

"Since Duoluo King Kong spoke, the boy will naturally listen carefully. It's just... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it without a fight!" Zhang Ye grinned, showing no fear on his face.

Doro King Kong's surname is Jiang and his name is Huaikong. It is said that he is a lay disciple of the "Mingjue Temple" known as the Big Dipper of Wulin Taishan.At the same time, he also possesses the first level of the "Phaseless Divine Art", which is known as the "No. [-] Divine Art in the World".All the people present could beat him, but only a handful of them.

"Okay you bastard!" Doro King Kong stared at him, and a mighty aura burst out suddenly, which really had the meaning of "King Kong glaring".

"As expected of King Kong Doro, his imposing manner is no less than that of Master Duyuan from Mingjue Temple." Shen Wuxin exclaimed in admiration.

Master Duyuan is the head of the Arhat Hall of Mingjue Temple, and also the mentor of Doro Vajra Jiang Huaikong.Although Shen Wuxin's flattery was to suit his liking, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he did it on purpose.

As for why this is so...

"Master Shen is absurd. This old man is not as good as my teacher."

When mentioning Master Duyuan, King Kong Dorothy's tone was humble, and his expression was not as fierce as before.

Jiang Xinjian narrowed his eyes slightly, opened his mouth lightly, and spoke to Zhang Ye.

Zhang also has excellent eyesight, so he can naturally see his mouth shape - go to hell!

The corner of his mouth curled up in a disdainful arc, and Zhang also rolled his eyes in return.

Xiao Mian, your xinxing is not enough!If you want to become a big boss, go back and practice for a few more years!

At this moment, an old voice sounded from the Jiang family——

"Everyone in the martial arts world, today we set up a situation here to get rid of 'Rentu' Shen Qi! This is the top priority, other matters will be mentioned later, okay?"

After the words were finished, an old man in gray clothes with white beard and hair, hunched over, slowly walked out of the crowd.

"Jiang... President Jiang?! He's here too..."

"Leader Jiang!"

"Leader Jiang?!"

The moment they saw the old man, everyone present except for the disciples of the Jiang family headed by Jiang Xinjian were a little surprised and stunned.The most obvious performance is everyone in Yingxue Villa.

Looking at this old man who didn't know whether he was 70 or 90 years old, Zhang Ye's face became extremely solemn.

Jiang Chengwen, the former head of the Jiang family in Yuanzhou, grandfather of Jiang Xinjian, the peerless master ranked third in the "Jianghu master list", the only fierce man in the world who has practiced the "Phaseless Magic Art" to the third level...

He has many names, but the one that everyone fears the most is - the leader of the martial arts alliance!
"What's going on? Even though Shen Qi has the title of 'Rentu', he is just a junior after all, so he wouldn't bother the martial arts leader to do it himself!"

"Who says it's not... It's said that President Jiang hasn't left Jiang's house for almost ten years! The last time he made a move was the battle of 'Tiandu Peak', where President Jiang fought the big devil Jiang Huaili!"

"Devil Jiang is the leader of the Demon Sect. It is not surprising that Leader Jiang will fight, but Shen Qi is so..."

"Silence! Should we discuss the matter of the leader of the martial arts?"

"Yes Yes……"

……

Everyone present is a master, although the voice of those discussions has been suppressed very low, but still can not escape the ears of everyone.Quite a few people already had doubts on their faces, and the most obvious ones were the people in Yingxue Villa.

"Leader, why are you here?" Shen Wuxin asked, clasping his hands.

Jiang Chengwen raised his head, looked at Shen Wuyi with cloudy eyes, and then slowly said after a long time, "Are you the new owner of Yingxue Villa?"

"Unintentionally sinking, I respectfully honor the position of owner of Yingxue Villa."

"Not bad, not bad!" Jiang Chengwen nodded, and said: "Your internal force is much stronger than that of Shen Wumin, and it is also very pure."

"Leader's praise." Shen Wuwu hastily cupped his hands.

"It's a pity... I won't be a father." Jiang Chengwen pouted, squinting at Zhang Ye who was standing opposite.

Now, the audience was in an uproar.Even Jiang Xinjian's eyes widened, and he looked at his own grandfather for no reason.

"Master Jiang, what does this mean?"

"It seems to mean...Shen Qi seems to be...the son of Lord Shen?"

"It sounds like that's what I mean!"

"It's no wonder that Shen Qi was able to live at ease for so long after killing someone. It turns out that there is someone behind him who backs him up!"

"Oh—see you, brother!"

……

Hearing that those so-called masters began to slander Yingxue Villa and Shen Wuwu, Zhang couldn't help snorting angrily and staring at Jiang Chengwen.

Shen Wuxin's expression was also very ugly.

"If you want people not to know, unless you don't do it yourself." Jiang Chengwen glanced at Zhang Ye indifferently, and said: "If it wasn't for Shen Xiaoyou, you killed innocent people indiscriminately and made a big mistake, how could there be today's results?"

"Haha...hahaha..."

Zhang Ye laughed exaggeratedly, then glanced at Jiang Chengwen with disdain, and said, "The leader of the martial arts? That's all!"

"Bastard!"

Everyone in the Jiang family immediately glared at Zhang Ye.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Shen Wuwu let out a loud shout, trying to stop Zhang Ye from continuing.

Zhang Ye looked at Shen Wuxin, then pursed his lips, gritted his teeth, walked up to him in two steps, knelt down with a plop, and then kowtowed three times in a row.

"Father, the child is not filial!"

"It turns out that Shen Qi is the adoptive son of Lord Shen!"

"It's a pity that Master Shen is an upright person, and he didn't realize that this adopted son is a wolf with ambition..."

……

Following Zhang Ye's kowtow to admit his mistake, everyone justified their previous guesses on their own, from Shen Wuyi's murderous son to Shen Zhuangzhu being deceived by others, and his adopted son and wolf's ambition to set the blame.The speed of change is staggering.

It's just that the relationship between father and son has changed to adoptive father and adopted son. These so-called heroes of the rivers and lakes have given a "perfect" explanation... It seems that no matter what age or country, the judgment of blood relationship will always make people feel uncomfortable. People get stuck in stupid situations they can't get out of.It's as if a biological son must be filial, and an adopted son will do whatever it takes to seek family property...

Oh, stupid humans.

Shen Wuwu opened his mouth, his face turning blue and then pale, and finally he took a deep look at Zhang Ye, gritted his teeth and cupped a fist at Jiang Chengwen, and said coldly: "Leader, this son is from Yingxue Villa. In order to avoid suspicion, I will no longer participate in this incident. Please let the leader allow me to wait for the disciples of Yingxue Villa to leave first!"

"Grandpa, no!"

Jiang Xinjian hurriedly objected loudly. Seeing that Jiang Chengwen hadn't spoken, he turned to Shen Wuwu and said loudly, "Master Shen! Since Shen Qi is your adopted son, shouldn't you clean up your family and prove your innocence?"

"Prove my innocence?" Shen Wuyi squinted his eyes slightly, and snorted coldly: "I don't know what Mr. Jiang wants me to prove my innocence? Or is it in Mr. Jiang's eyes that Shen Qi did such evil things because someone Shen ordered him?"

In the end, Shen Wuxin's face had become ugly, and his majestic internal energy kept surging, as if he was about to strike if he disagreed.

Jiang Xinjian was startled, and then realized that he had said something wrong, and just about to say something, Jiang Chengwen spoke.

"Jian'er, stand back! How can you speak here?"

"Yes." Jiang Xinjian hurriedly backed away.

"Master Shen, my grandson can't speak, so don't take it to heart."

Jiang Chengwen's speech was still unhurried, but with an unquestionable attitude.

Shen Wuxin narrowed his eyes slightly, but said nothing.

Jiang Chengwen's eyes "inadvertently" glanced at Sword Master Yu who was next to Shen Wuwu, a trace of horror flashed in his cloudy eyes, and then he seemed to understand something, and said: "What Master Shen said just now is very reasonable It is enough to arrest Shen Qi and I am waiting here, everyone in Yingxue Villa can leave on their own."

Shen Wuxin cupped his hands at Jiang Chengwen, then glanced at Zhang Ye, but Zhang Ye didn't dare to look up at him.

"let's go!"

Following Shen Wuxin's order, everyone in Yingxue Villa turned around and left one after another.Seeing those familiar faces flashing before his eyes one by one, Zhang Ye felt bitter in his heart.

He knew that he must not show that he had any relationship with Yingxue Villa, otherwise the Jiang family members represented by Jiang Chengwen would never give up easily!
Seeing that the Yunling Ferry was getting farther and farther away, Shen Wuwu's face became paler, and the third master Shen Wuming finally saw something was wrong.

"The owner?"

"puff--"

Shen Wuxin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Master!"

The disciples of Yingxue Villa were about to surround them immediately, but Shen Wuwu stopped them with a wave of his hand.

"Pass me an order: from today... there will be no more 'Shen Qi' in the village! All records related to him will be destroyed! From now on... the village will not allow this name to be mentioned again! Treat him... as if he never existed! "

"The owner..."

"Do you understand?" Shen Wuyi shouted.

"Understood!" Everyone could only respond.

"Brother..." Third Master Shen's expression was equally ugly.

Yu Juggernaut followed at the end of the team, his face remained calm, and he didn't say anything.

At the same time, Zhang Ye, who was about to start, suddenly discovered that there was a figure in a coir raincoat on the boat at Yunling Ferry!
