Incredible

After finishing speaking, Wei Lingfeng cupped his fists and saluted him.

The old servant returned the salute with tears in his eyes.

Shen Yao never expected that the person who volunteered to set an example was actually the owner of the pharmacy "Huang Xianyi".

Doctor Huang Xian suffered from heart disease for many years. After being infected with the plague, he suffered from several diseases and did not drink a drop of water for three consecutive days.He was dizzy, tinnitus, coughing up blood, and could barely hear other people's voices. Until the day when he came back to the light, he saw the old servant and made it clear: "Everything in the world, you don't bring it with you, and you don't take it with you when you die. This old man... To be No.1, do your best."

Huang Banxia knelt beside her father's bed with a "plop": "Father, have you really considered it?"

His father lost the strength to continue talking.The father could only look at his little son who had always loved him, and nodded slightly.

Huang Pinxia's legs and feet were numb, and her back was bitingly cold.He swallowed, and a bloody smell rose from his throat.My father often said: Men don't flick their tears lightly, but he also knows: Men don't flick their tears lightly, but they don't reach the point of sadness.

He wiped away tears and knelt straight: "Father, do you still remember mother?"

Huang Banxia's mother passed away very early.At that time, Huang Banxia was under seven years old.He still remembers that his father called the four brothers to the bed, sat on one side, and quietly accompanied his mother.

Huang Banxia's mother loves beauty very much.On the day of her death, she put on light red rouge, held the sachet her husband gave her, and said angrily, "You have to bring up the children."

Her husband said hello back.

She forced a smile: "I'm not angry if you marry another wife, but don't... tell me at the grave."

Her last wish is: "After a hundred years, you will be buried with me. I don't want to wait too long for you..."

The husband stroked her hair, and promised: "Okay, okay, you can rest assured." He gently covered her eyes, not letting her see tears streaming down her face: "You are as beautiful as when you were young. "

Huang Banxia always remembered this scene.He remembered the last conversation between his parents.Since his mother passed away, his father has not remarried. He has been studying medicine all day long, curing diseases and saving lives, why?

The answer is clear and simple.

Huang Banxia choked up for a while, and cried bitterly.His father didn't speak either. He stretched out his right hand an inch, as if wanting to touch Huang Banxia's head. Halfway through the walk, his thin fingers hung down, hanging silently on the edge of the cold bed.

The rain outside the window has not stopped.Thunder bursts, rain torrential.

The next day, the clouds cleared and the sky cleared.

The official posted a new notice strictly prohibiting the hiding of sick bodies.

At noon that day, the yamen servants gathered in the Nancheng area, and many ordinary people also came around.There is a deep pit surrounded by sand, and the pit is full of corpses who died of illness... Huang Banxia and his three brothers stood in the distance, weeping for a long time.

The yamen servants, wearing bamboo hats, approached the deep pit, immediately poured oil and lit the fire, and then quickly retreated.

Shen Yao watched for a moment, and said with emotion: "There is no way to do this... The plague is so violent, the corpses of the dead must be burned or buried deep. Come in, there is not enough oil and firewood, so we can only pile up the corpses and burn them together."

Wei Lingfeng bowed his head and pondered, and suddenly asked: "Little brother, can you still write stories?"

Shen Yao shuddered: "Huh?"

Wei Lingfeng patted him on the shoulder: "Back then, in order to promote the alchemy school, you made up dozens of stories and posted them outside the market."

"Which pot is not opened and which pot is to be lifted?" Shen Yao put his hands into his sleeves, "I almost forgot, do you need to mention it again?"

Wei Lingfeng suggested to him: "You write down the deeds of Doctor Huang Xian and post them on the streets and alleys of the city."

Shen Yao looked up at him.His eyes reflected the skylight and cloud shadows, and his expression was solemn and serious.

Shen Yao couldn't help being infected by him, and nodded repeatedly: "Okay. I used to think that Huang Xian's medical skills were mediocre and not worthy of the word 'immortal'. Now it seems that I am superficial."

After saying that, Shen Yao lowered his head, facing the corpse pit, bowed deeply.

Even if Shen Yao didn't write for a long time, his skill never declined.

On the night that doctor Huang Xian was cremated, Shen Yao lit an oil lamp and wrote a tear-jerking article.Although the words are concise, every word is precise, and Huang Xianyi is praised as unparalleled in the world.

That night, Shen Yao, Xu Xingxiu, Wei Lingfeng and others copied dozens of copies of the article, took the paste and yellow paper to the streets, and pasted this article praising Huang Xianyi's noble character all over the streets and alleys. Explains how plague can pass from the dead to the living.

Their hard work was not in vain.

The yamen servants confiscated a lot more corpses.After another five days, no more cases of plague were reported in the city.

The magistrate was ecstatic, and hurriedly sent a letter to report the good news.

Shen Yao and Wei Lingfeng relaxed a lot.They stayed in the pharmacy, counting the medicinal materials and making pills, seeming to have forgotten about the Chu family.Even when Chu Kairong came to visit, Shen Yao didn't react.

Chu Kairong not only brought his attendants, but also walked side by side with a man with a sword.That man's martial arts are outstanding, his feet don't touch the ground, his temperament is comparable to that of a nobleman, and he has a natural good looks, which attracts the girls in the pharmacy to look at him frequently.

Even Shen Yao stared at him blankly.

Wei Lingfeng put down the herbs and turned away Shen Yao's face.

Shen Yao still turned his head and continued to look at the man.

Chu Kairong smiled and said: "This is my friend, Duan Wuhen from the Duan family in Liangzhou."

But Shen Yao muttered to himself: "Left protector? Human skin. Mask?"

☆, mysterious

The "Left Protector" mentioned by Shen Yao refers to the Left Protector of Fuhua Sect.

Although Shen Yao once went to the mountains with Zuo Hufa to gather medicine, and saw Zuo Hufa killing people with a sword, but Shen Yao didn't know Zuo Hufa's real name.

It is strange to say that Zuo Hufa has profound internal strength and high martial arts, but there are very few rumors in the world, as if he has been forgotten by everyone.

As for Duan Wuhen, his appearance and behavior are similar to Zuo Hufa.Especially the kind of arrogance and loftiness of "treating people like ants"... almost exactly the same as the Demon Sect's Left Guardian.

Shen Yao felt that Wei Lingfeng must have also noticed something strange.But Wei Lingfeng wiped his hands with a rag, and stood aside respectfully: "The Duan family in Liangzhou has been famous for a long time."

Chu Kairong introduced: "This is Wei Lingfeng, the chief disciple of the Danyi School."

Chu Kairong's folding fan never leaves his body.He turned the handle of the fan backhand, and asked with a smile, "Brother Duan, have you ever heard of the alchemy school?"

Duan Wuhen bypassed Chu Kairong, and the phantom came to Wei Lingfeng in a flash.Without saying a word, he stretched out a hand towards Wei Lingfeng, with the palm facing up and his five fingers together.

What is this for?

Shen Yao's heart rose to his throat.

He rushed over involuntarily, but was grabbed by Chu Kairong.Chu Kairong opened his arms and immediately hugged Shen Yao tightly.Shen Yao only felt as if he was being restrained by iron chains, not to mention struggling, he couldn't even exert any strength.

Shen Yao grinned and said, "Chu Yizhan, what kind of medicine did you buy in the gourd? In broad daylight, two big men are chattering, where do you put the face of your famous son?"

Chu Kairong narrowed his eyes slightly, which made him look slightly evil.Not only did he not let go, he even hugged him more intimately: "Doctor Shen, don't treat me as a bad person. I treat you with all my heart and soul, and I don't have any malice in it."

When Shen Yao was arguing with Chu Kairong, Wei Lingfeng caught Duan Wuhen's pulse.Wei Lingfeng's two fingers clasped between Duan Wuhen's wrists, stopped for a long time, and said lightly: "I can't say it directly."

Duan Wuhen said indifferently: "Why not?"

Wei Lingfeng withdrew his hand, covering his fingertips with his sleeves: "I don't know what martial arts you have practiced... probably not the Duan family's martial arts mentality."

Duan Wuhen inspected him from head to toe: "Have you read the Duan family's martial art?"

"I've never seen it before," Wei Lingfeng said to him with downcast eyes, "I don't know martial arts."

Holding the sword in his left hand, Duan Wuhen raised Wei Lingfeng's wrist bone, and nodded slightly: "Your root bone is one in a million. If you don't learn martial arts, it's a waste of your talent."

After a pause, Duan Wuhen took another step forward, leaned closer to him and asked, "There is a lost sorcery in Beiling, which can change the breath of martial arts learners, hide their skills, and pretend to be ordinary people who are useless. Have you ever heard about it?"

Just as Wei Lingfeng was about to answer, Shen Yao yelled violently: "Damn it! Chu Yizhan, don't think I won't get angry! You've been pulling me, are you looking for fuck? I'm looking for your Chu family In the face of being number one in the world, I respect you a little bit, you are too deceitful today!"

His roar not only scared the patients in the distance, but also scared Xu Xingxiu who stayed in the inner room.

Xu Xingxiu was busy making medicine.Hearing Shen Yao's voice, he immediately put the cattail fan by the stove, raised the curtain, and walked to the hall.

The moment Xu Xingxiu saw Duan Wuhen, he was also stunned for a moment before he asked with a smile, "Who is this?"

Chu Kairong first teased Shen Yao: "You bastard, facing a man, you can say whatever you want to fuck..."

Then he recommended: "Doctor Xu, this is Duan Wuhen from the Duan family in Liangzhou."

Xu Xingxiu raised his hand to pull Shen Yao over, protecting him behind his back.When Shen Yao shook his sleeve, the dagger hidden in the sleeve fell out, he bent down to pick up the dagger, and put it back into his pocket.

The nearby patients all looked over, and the doctors from Huang's Pharmacy looked at each other in blank dismay.Xu Xingxiu waved his hand, and rounded things up: "This is not a place to talk, everyone follow me."

After saying that, Xu Xingxiu walked towards the back garden.

Chu Kairong kept walking, and followed Xu Xingxiu: "I came today to tell you that people from the government will open the city gate tomorrow morning, and we should continue on our way."

Xu Xingxiu looked back and took a deep look at him: "On the day when the plague broke out, I went to visit Mr. Chu, and after many notifications, I couldn't see you. Today Mr. Lao Chu personally came to the door, and the three of us brothers and sisters, It's even lucky!"

Chu Kairong chuckled: "I'm ashamed. In those two days, my old illness relapsed and I was bedridden, unable to see guests."

Xu Xingxiu did not pursue it.No matter what Chu Kairong said, Xu Xingxiu listened to it and even claimed it was true.Until the end, Xu Xingxiu brought up another topic: "My junior brother is straight-hearted. If he offends you, please look to Mr. Chu, don't take it to heart."

Chu Kairong stopped suddenly: "The more people I know, the more I like friends with Zhichangzi. If the disciples of the Danyi School are like you and Wei Lingfeng, can this plague in Anjiang City end?"

The folding fan shook slightly, and he asked himself and answered: "Maybe it's not so fast."

Xu Xingxiu was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "My little junior brother, I don't know that Mr. Chu appreciates him."

Chu Kairong looked at him, and said meaningfully: "I love talents and cherish talents, so I naturally appreciate each of you."

What's wrong with these famous big men in the Jianghu?

Shen Yao believes that their biggest disadvantage is that they have too many eyes, they see all directions, their ears listen to all directions, and chatting is like playing charades.Although Chu Kairong and the others usually talk but don't do anything, even if they just talk to them, it's not so easy.

A quarter of an hour ago, Shen Yao saw Wei Lingfeng give Duan Wuhen the pulse.From Shen Yao's point of view, Duan Wuhen was alive and kicking, with strong muscles and veins, without any discomfort, and his whole body was very strong and tough.

Then why did he go to Wei Lingfeng for medical treatment?

Shen Yao couldn't understand it.In addition, he watched Duan Wuhen more and more.

Duan Wuhen noticed Shen Yao's burning gaze, raised his sword and walked to Shen Yao's side.Before Shen Yao could speak, Duan Wuhen asked, "Who is Zuo Protector?"

Shen Yao was shocked.

Duan Wuhen said to himself: "When you first saw me, you muttered to yourself and mentioned the human skin mask. What's the matter, does that left protector have the same appearance as me?"

Outside the side door of the garden, there is a winding corridor.The rockery lies on one side of the railing, jagged and rough, stained with blue-yellow bird droppings—this was moved back from the suburbs by Huang Xianyi when he was alive, and it is said that it was to please his beloved wife.

However, after Dr. Huang Xian died, there was no one to take care of the garden.

Shen Yao looked at the decaying flower branches, with a loose attitude: "Of course they are different. You are all masters among masters, and you have a disposition of arrogance and arrogance. I lost my sight for a while."

Duan Wuhen didn't know when to pick off a blade of grass.Holding the emerald green leaves with his fingertips, he replied in a low voice: "I know him."

Shen Yao laughed and laughed: "What do you know?"

Duan Wuhen understood Shen Yao's thoughts: "I'm not deceiving you. I know that man, who is skilled in swordsmanship and has a similar figure to me...I have already found out his name."

No more, Shen Yao felt that he couldn't hold on anymore.Before leaving, his master had told him to avoid listening to gossip in Jianghu, and not to take the initiative to inquire about secrets, as that would easily cause trouble for the upper body.

After experiencing a battle between heaven and man, Shen Yao still asked, "What's his name?"

Duan Wuhen glanced at him sideways: "Cheng Xueluo."

Shen Yao repeated: "Cheng Xueluo?"

He muttered to himself: "Xueluo Wuhen, it suits you..."

Before finishing speaking, Duan Wuhen put Shen Yao on the shoulder.The strength in his palm, although he didn't activate it, but with a slight pinch, Shen Yao's bones could be shattered into quicksand.

Shen Yao's back shivered: "Brother Duan, I have no grievances or enmities with you. The Duan family in Liangzhou is well-known outside the world, and they value faith and benevolence. It would be unworthy to ruin it on me."

Duan Wuhen asked him, "Where is Cheng Xueluo's Left Protector?"

Shen Yao frowned and said, "I really don't know! I only met him once..."

Duan Wuhen pulled a finger, and Shen Yao's shoulder suddenly hurt, like a needle prick, and the pain was intense.And Shen Yao, as a doctor, knows his body very well, and he understands that as long as Duan Wuhen makes up his mind, Shen Yao will be a complete useless person in this life.

Shen Yao didn't shed tears when he saw the coffin, but wanted to see how hard his bones were.He gritted his teeth and said, "I have met a lot of knight-errants along the way, and none of them is an upright man. I originally thought that you are different from Chu Kairong. You behave well and sit upright. How could you It's not as good as Chu Kairong, who actually played this trick with me to extract a confession..."

He held his head high: "You fucked me up, and I won't tell you."

Duan Wuhen laughed.When he smiled, it was like ice and snow melting, like sunshine after rain, and the beauty of thousands of plants and trees soaked in his eyes.

But Shen Yao thought to himself: such a dark heart, what a good skin.

"You don't have to scold me in your heart," Duan Wuhen looked forward and whispered, "If someone asks him, I hope your answer is the same as today. If so, I will save your life."

Shen Yao sneered: "Hey, it sounds like you are protecting him?"

Before Duan Wuhen could speak, Shen Yao flicked his sleeves and said, "He doesn't need your protection. I think his martial arts are stronger than yours."

Duan Wuhen was neither happy nor angry: "Have you seen him make moves, or have you seen him kill people?"

Shen Yao briefly described it as: "His kung fu has reached the perfection."

After finishing speaking, Shen Yao took the leaf from Duan Wuhen's hand, threw it forward, and ordered: "Come on, Mr. Duan, you can also perform for me to open my eyes. Can you split that fallen leaf?" in half?"

Duan Wuhen ignored him, turned around and left.

Shen Yao looked at his back and crossed his arms.As soon as he turned his head, he saw the leaf fell back to the railing, and when he took a closer look, there was a thin crack like a silk thread on it, and the leaf had broken into two pieces.

Terrible, these masters.Shen Yao thought to himself.

☆, intricate

Before Shen Yao, he hardly knew martial arts masters.

He has seen a woodcutter with great strength, a hunter who pierces Yang with a hundred steps, and girl Liu Qingqing who is good at somersaults.From Shen Yao's point of view, these people are already slightly better than ordinary people.

Now, he has made friends with Yuntang, Cheng Xueluo, Chu Kairong, Duan Wuhen and others, and his vision has suddenly broadened.He grabbed a mulberry leaf, squeezed it in his palm and played with it for a moment, forcing himself to suppress his curiosity.

Cheng Xueluo and Duan Wuhen are similar in appearance and age, so they must be blood relatives like brothers.

It's a pity that Cheng Xueluo is in the Demon Cult and is loyal to the leader of Yuntang, and Duan Wuhen is the eldest son of the Duan family in Liangzhou. Once this relationship is broken, there will be a bloodbath.

After thinking about it several times, Shen Yao decided to keep his mouth shut.

As expected, his two senior brothers were several years older than him. They had rich experience and tighter tongues.When it was evening, no one mentioned Mr. Duan, or the Demon Cult's Guardian Zuo.

Shen Yao was secretly relieved.He sat next to Wei Lingfeng and listened to their chat, only to realize that Chu Kairong not only brought guards, but also brought two wooden barrels and three cooks—the best cooks in Anjiang City.

Shen Yao couldn't help asking: "Young Master Chu, what are you doing?"

Chu Kairong put away his folding fan, half leaning against the railing to enjoy the scenery.The fan is made of jade, which is clear and cold, and the fan surface is the best white satin.And Chu Kairong turned the handle of the fan nonchalantly, leisurely and contentedly, just like the willful attitude of a celebrity.

He said: "In the past few days, I have heard a little about your hard work. I don't like to play after the fact, and I can't help with other things. I hope that I can invite everyone to have a meal and reward the five internal organs temple of the brothers."

Xu Xingxiu immediately expressed his affection: "Thank you, Mr. Chu, for your kindness. It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

Wei Lingfeng called the old servant of the Huang family and asked him to call Huang Banxia and others over, but Chu Kairong interrupted: "Forget it, Huang Banxia's father passed away not long ago, and they are still in mourning."

Shen Yao raised his eyebrows, just in time to meet Chu Kairong's eyes.

Chu Kairong turned the folding fan and stood in the palm of his hand.He obviously didn't touch the fan, and he didn't activate his internal strength, so he invisibly exposed his identity as a martial arts master... It was really scary, Shen Yao shook his head silently.

However, Shen Yao still said: "Without the great help of the Huang family, how can we subdue the evil spirit of the plague with the help of the three of us alone? In terms of facts, the Huang family provided all the medicinal materials. Much more."

Chu Kairong smiled lightly, but did not answer.

Shen Yao continued: "We have a banquet at Huang's house, and it's not considered a breach of etiquette to tell others by the way."

Chu Kairong suddenly approached him: "You were yelling in the front hall just now, is it considered rude? I thought that you disciples of the alchemy school didn't care about false names."

Shen Yao frowned and argued, "If you hadn't been teasing me, how could I have yelled? There is a reason before everything, and there is an effect afterward."

Chu Kairong smiled and sipped tea.He looked at the guard and gave him a wink. Not long after the guard left, he led Huang Banxia and his party into the main entrance.

Huang Banxia has three older brothers, except for Huang Banxia who is a bit stubborn and arrogant, his three older brothers are all honest and honest, not even wearing a long flowing gown.They wear coarse trousers and loose jackets, just for the convenience of collecting herbs and working.

Chu Kairong stood up and said with ease: "Today, I am lucky to be able to make friends with you all. I will serve wine later, and I will drink three glasses first as a respect!"

At the end of the corridor stood a huge square table.It was bought by Huang Banxia's father in the past. When Huang Banxia was a child, his elder brothers often used the table to dry herbs. Later, the medicine shop opened up a special place, and this table was abandoned by everyone.

Unexpectedly, Chu Kairong would hold a banquet here.

Huang Banxia has long heard of the prestige of the Chu family.He was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself, neither stood nor sat, and finally dragged a chair and placed it directly beside Chu Kairong.

Huang Banxia kept asking: "Are you Chu Kairong? Are you Chu Kairong? Are you really Chu Kairong? The noble son of the Chu family in the capital? I heard that the girls in the capital are lining up to marry you , Your backyard will almost be overwhelmed."

Shen Yao turned his head to look at them, and saw Chu Kairong's cup shake, two drops of tea splashed out.

It has to be said that Chu Kairong is indeed very popular in the capital.Talented women in the capital wrote poems, composed music and sang songs for him, making him famous all over the world.However, he has never married a wife, and he has left infinite reverie for the girls in his boudoir who are waiting to be married.

Without self-knowledge, Huang Banxia tugged on Chu Kairong's sleeves: "You wiped out bandits on a hill, I admire you as a hero, a man of iron blood."

Chu Kairong smiled neither humble nor overbearing: "My servant, thank you, Mr. Huang, for your appreciation."

Duan Wuhen on the side said abruptly: "Those bandits have low martial arts skills, and they can't make a difference."

Huang Banxia cupped his fists at him: "Your Excellency?"

Duan Wuhen was kind and generous, and reported his name.

Huang Banxia changed from the noise just now, and talked a lot less.He probably needs a process of adaptation before he can slowly accept the reality.In this small temple of his house, there are actually two martial arts Buddhas, and Shen Yao, Wei Lingfeng and others still have calm faces.

Chu Kairong raised his arms, and was about to wrap his arms around Duan Wuhen's shoulders, showing the close relationship between the two of them, Duan Wuhen held back his elbows in the opposite direction, keeping a distance from him.

What surprised Chu Kairong the most was probably Duan Wuhen's internal strength.Duan Wuhen was a student of his father, and his father was known as the "Sword Immortal" who could use sword energy as a barrier to repel all external forces.

Duan Wuhen is also proficient in this set.Chu Kairong tried a little, but then found that he couldn't grab Duan Wuhen's sleeve.

Duan Wuhen also said to him: "Young Master Chu, it's not necessary to be like this."

Chu Kairong uncorked the wine bottle, smiling broadly: "Ah? I thought Brother Duan and I had a deadly friendship."

The kitchen was not far away, and there was a faint smell of roasted lamb and fish.During the period when the county magistrate closed the city, most people did not eat well. Whether they can survive is still the same thing. Where can they find delicacies from mountains and seas?Shen Yao never expected that before the city gate was lifted, Chu Kairong would get delicacies...

He held the chopsticks, picked up and put down the cutlery repeatedly.

Wei Lingfeng asked him, "Are you hungry?"

Shen Yao spread out his hands and rubbed his thighs slightly: "Hungry is really hungry, and tired is really tired. We are chewing steamed buns every day, and I have long felt uncomfortable if I can't eat a mouthful of salty food."

Wei Lingfeng poured himself a glass of wine: "You are still young and not hungry, you should eat more good things."

Shen Yao often heard Wei Lingfeng say this sentence, and his ears were callused.Because he was greedy when he was young, Wei Lingfeng often went to the kitchen of the Danyi School to find some snacks for him, and he also went fishing by the lake, catching fish to make soup for him.

He patted Wei Lingfeng on the shoulder: "Now I am too old. Men are 20-year-old weak crowns, and next year will be my weak crown year. When I was young, you always took care of me. From now on, I will take care of you even more."

After saying that, Shen Yao and Wei Lingfeng clinked glasses.

Wei Lingfeng drank half a cup by himself, and suddenly said: "Why do I need you to take care of me? As long as you can take good care of yourself. Studying medicine is not as good as learning martial arts, and the school of alchemy is not as good as Yaowanggu. People in the world are chasing martial arts secret books, and they seldom care about them. Herbal medicine and medical scriptures. You have been walking in the rivers and lakes for many days, and you have already suffered..."

Shen Yao chuckled: "What is it for a man to suffer? Men should suffer."

He raised his voice slightly, and everyone nearby heard it.

Shen Yao was not ashamed, and talked loudly: "Hey, don't look at me, young master, am I right?"

"Well said," Chu Kairong was the first to cheer, "Jianghu is a world dominated by men. There are victors and losers when all heroes compete for the throne. Some suffer hardships, while others reap the rewards."

Shen Yao prefers to argue with Chu Kairong.He immediately said: "Have you forgotten those girls with superb martial arts? Jiang Caiwei, Liu Ruyan, Yuntang..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Xingxiu stretched out a leg.Under the table, Xu Xingxiu suddenly stepped on Shen Yao's toes.

Shen Yao clenched his teeth, even if he got drunk, he would shut up on the spot.

Chu Kairong played with taste: "Yuntang?"

Duan Wuhen picked up the chopsticks, his eyes swept over like the cold autumn wind.His and Zuo Hufa's auras are too similar, Shen Yao thought in a trance that Zuo Hufa was casting a murderous gaze, he couldn't help but shivered, and said with a smile: "I heard people say that the demon girl Yuntang's martial arts is very high, What kind of immeasurable magical powers does she know?"

Shen Yao raised his hand indiscriminately, and drew several circles in the air: "She never uses a sword, she can control the wind and rain, and seals her throat when she sees blood."

Wei Lingfeng rounded up the situation and said: "The rumors in the world are true and false, unreal and unreal, just forget it after you have heard it."

Shen Yao laughed and agreed, and saw Chu Kairong staring at him again, his gaze was burning like a fire, as if it was going to burn him through.

Shen Yao secretly sighed in his heart, and chose the method of diverting the disaster to the east: "Mr. Chu?"

Chu Kairong raised his voice: "What's the matter?"

Shen Yao asked him: "Is Liu Ruyan your cousin? She is the most beautiful woman in the world."

Chu Kairong coughed twice, changed the cup and said, "Why are you mentioning her?"

The cook and the guard brought a roast lamb and placed it heavily on the table.Then came roast chicken, green vegetable noodles, charcoal-grilled tenderloin... It could be seen that Chu Kairong searched for limited ingredients and tried his best to prop up the host's place.

Shen Yao tore off a leg of lamb and gnawed on it twice, his tongue was numb from the heat.He said vaguely: "I heard in the teahouse... Liu Ruyan is so beautiful, what is that like? I mean, what is the most beautiful woman in the world?"

Chu Kairong waved the fan and shook it leisurely: "Do you want a woman?"

Shen Yao choked on the white wine.

Chu Kairong looked at Wei Lingfeng, smiled deeper and said: "That's right, you're old. There are young masters in the capital who are about the same age as you, at least they have to find two or three housekeepers to serve them every day."

He turned his head and teased Duan Wuhen: "Brother Duan, is it the same in Liangzhou?"

Before Duan Wuhen answered, Chu Kairong said leisurely: "Since ancient times, Liangzhou has been a place where fireworks are popular."

Duan Wuhen didn't eat or drink.Delicious food did not arouse his interest, he said in a cool voice: "People who practice martial arts, don't get close to women. Those who are close to women are hard to correct."

He is obviously a martial idiot, Shen Yao slandered.

But Shen Yao doesn't like women, is it because he was born to learn martial arts?He began to reflect on himself.

At this time, Wei Lingfeng actually said: "This statement is wrong. Martial arts practitioners are close to women, and the yin and yang are in harmony. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

After a pause, he asked Duan Wuhen: "What's more, without women, how can the famous martial arts sect flourish?"

Chu Kairong curled his lips and smiled again: "Doctor Wei is a wonderful person."

Shen Yao covered his mouth with his left hand and lightly bit the flesh.The tip of his tongue was scalded by the mutton, and it was a little numb. Hearing Wei Lingfeng's words, he couldn't help but ask him for some reason: "Brother, do you have a girl you like?"

Wei Lingfeng clasped the wine glass tightly with his index and middle fingers, and answered twice: "No, no."

While they were drinking and having fun in the corridor, two of Chu Kairong's attendants were searching the wing.

Both of these two attendants were born in secret guards, their lightness skills are extremely strong, and they are better at hiding.

The two traversed the four directions of east, west, north and south, but still couldn't find what they wanted.

One of them was very annoyed: "Young Master, I don't want the Guangbing Sword, but only the "Sky King Kong Jue". The Huang family's mansion is not big, so I have to find the secret book after digging three feet into the ground."

Another person replied: "The cheat book is gone without a trace."

They dare not report the truth to Chu Kairong.

At noon yesterday, Chu Kairong got a piece of news - the government servants confiscated the rotting corpse of an old man.The old man's surname is Gong, and he lives alone in a house in Nancheng.

It is said that old man Gong's wife died early, his daughter married to Liangzhou, and his son also works in Liangzhou, so he has no close relatives around him.

The yamen servants discovered that there was a young male corpse with a corrupt face in the old man's front yard.The man had more than one stab wound on his body, and he was holding a jade pendant of old man Gong in his hand. He must have come here in vain to steal money.

Since the outbreak of the plague, many people died in Anjiang City.The yamen servants were not surprised and closed the case on the same day.

But Chu Kairong sent people to investigate the old man Gong, and got some clues.He believed that Shen Yao, Xu Xingxiu and Wei Lingfeng might have entered and left old man Gong's yard on the day of the incident.

Who killed whom?Who killed someone?Chu Kairong didn't care.In the final analysis, he only wanted a copy of "Sky King Kong Jue".

The author has something to say: Liu Ruyan is Chu Kairong's cousin, who was once divorced by Chu Kairong.In fact, she doesn't have any martial arts at all, she only relies on her mouth and public opinion to blow it out, and she will meet you in the near future

☆, hate

"Tianxiao King Kong Jue" was first created by the great patriarch of Shaolin Temple.It is said that Shusheng faced the wall for thirty years and comprehended the profound meaning of martial arts.He wrote down his exercises and compiled them into a precious "Sky King Kong Jue".

After the special saint was enthroned, this secret book was stolen by the gangsters of the Demon Cult.In the same year, masters from the Eight Great Factions encircled and suppressed the Demon Cult, and snatched the rubbings of "Sky King Kong Jue" in the chaos.Since then, the cheats have been kept in the Wulin Cangjing Pavilion.

Chu Kairong is bound to win the "Sky King Kong Jue".

However, he didn't want to tear himself apart with Shen Yao and others.

After drinking for three rounds, Chu Kairong's two guards returned without success.

Chu Kairong knew it well.He opened the folding fan to block Duan Wuhen's gaze, then turned his head and called to his guards: "You haven't eaten today, sit down and rest together."

Huang Banxia praised: "Young Master Chu has a kind heart."

He also asked Duan Wuhen: "Mr. Duan, don't you go out without a follower?"

Duan Wuhen didn't lift his eyelids, he just said, "Trouble."

Before the words finished, Chu Kairong's two guards sat beside Shen Yao.Those two people were very strange, they had their sleeves folded, their eyebrows were lowered, their faces were pale and bloodless, and they seemed a little gloomy.

Shen Yao picked up a piece of mutton for one of them: "Eat some mutton, replenish blood, and warm up."

The man smiled suddenly, revealing a mouthful of neat teeth: "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

Shen Yao bit his chopsticks and stared at him deeply: "There is nothing to thank, don't be polite to me...how about I give you a pulse? Your complexion is too bad."

The man agreed immediately.He leaned close to Shen Yao, half bent, and whispered to Shen Yao: "Doctor, my heart is beating extremely fast. Recently, it is difficult to go to the toilet, but are you seriously ill?"

Last month, one of Chu Kairong's bodyguards died suddenly, innocently, and the murderer is unknown.Thanks to Chu Kairong's mediation in front of his mother, the suspicion of the alchemy school disciples was cleared.

Shen Yao has not forgotten this matter until now.Hearing from the guard again that he was not feeling well, Shen Yao immediately held his wrist, took a rough pulse, and noticed something strange.

Before Shen Yao had enough to eat, he stood up and dragged the guard back to the room.The man followed him all the way and buckled the door lock.The room was silent, as if you could hear the trees shaking and the flowers falling, and then, Shen Yao lost consciousness.

When he awoke, it was pitch black.

The guard was lying on the ground, his clothes were ripped off,

Shen Yao hastened to sniff his breath—fortunately, he was still alive.Next, Shen Yao fumbled for his pockets, and as expected, the books in his pockets had disappeared.

A few days ago, Wei Lingfeng heard that Shen Yao had obtained "Sky King Kong Jue", so he asked him to forge a copy.The first half of the counterfeit is "Miscellaneous Martial Arts" bought at a street stall, and the second half is Shen Yao's random formulas.

Fakes are literally being stolen these days.

Shen Yao panicked.

He opened the door and yelled.

To his surprise, Duan Wuhen appeared first.

Duan Wuhen asked him: "Why are you panicking?"

Shen Yao said very anxiously: "There is a master hiding in my room! He stole my things and knocked Chu Kairong's guards unconscious!"

As soon as Shen Yao finished speaking, other people also rushed to the vicinity.

Xu Xingxiu glanced into the room, stepped into the entrance silently, and grabbed the guard's left hand.Not long after, Xu Xingxiu said with absolute certainty: "He was poisoned."

Duan Wuhen frowned slightly: "Poison?"

Xu Xingxiu rolled up his sleeves, and said calmly: "Three years ago, I traveled in Huzhou and worked as a barefoot doctor for a while. A few days ago, a grain merchant in Huzhou sold a carload of moldy rice... Hey, It’s really shameless. It’s not easy for ordinary people to earn money, so of course they don’t do it, and people gather to make troubles, and it’s not enough at night, and they all die.”

"You mean," Shen Yao felt chills in his heart, "all the troublemakers were poisoned to death?"

Xu Xingxiu spread his hands helplessly: "The government intervenes, nothing happens. Only I know that it is poisoning, like the 'Hua Lei San' of the Five Poisons Sect. The poisoned person's breathing is stable, the pulse is frivolous, and there is no disease or pain... Only the back A red rash, densely dotted, also like spring buds, Wu Du Sect named it 'Hua Lei San'. This poison... medicine is taken orally."

Wei Lingfeng lifted up his robe and walked nearby.

He bent down to help the guard up,
