Huafa Luoyang

Chapter 45 The Swordsman

The magnolia flowers have almost fallen, and the soft and hairy leaves are beginning to grow.

The sun shone into the bottom of Yaowang Valley, and Zhuang Jiuyao sat under the corridor of the small courtyard with a pen and ink by his hand.He was holding a fan, and on it was depicting the magnolia tree in the courtyard.

This time, instead of drawing flowers, I drew leaves.

Zhuang Ning'er came out of the kitchen, brought him a bowl of medicine, then sat beside her with her hands in her hands in a daze, and after a while she said to herself, "It's almost time, so why haven't you come back? "

Zhuang Jiuyao put down his pen and glanced at her with a half-smile.She blushed, got up and wanted to leave, Zhuang Jiuyao smiled and said, "Are you angry from embarrassment?"

Seeing her unkind expression, he stretched out his hand to pass the fan over and asked, "Help me see how the painting is going?"

Zhuang Ning'er took it angrily, glanced at it, and stretched out her hand.Seeing this, Zhuang Jiuyao handed her the pen, and she took it and drew a few strokes on the fan, then turned to show him.

Zhuang Jiuyao clicked his tongue: "I can't always draw the edge of the leaf well, why is it different when you draw it?"

"My lord, you've had this problem since you were a child." Zhuang Ning'er took the fan a little farther away, and tilted her head to look at it. "A problem that will never change for the rest of my life is your problem."

Zhuang Jiuyao smiled: "Calling me a donkey?"

Zhuang Ning'er also laughed, revealing the dimples at the corners of her mouth, and was about to say something, when a strange noise suddenly came from the woods beside the house.She stood up abruptly, thinking that it was Wei Qingcheng and the others who came back, but suddenly she felt something was wrong, and said softly, "Master."

The people under the eaves frowned, and immediately warned: "If you have the opportunity to run quickly, don't worry about me." He stood up, seeing Zhuang Ning'er's astonished expression, and added: "This is an order, go Find Qingcheng."

Before Zhuang Ning'er could answer, she saw the figure behind the forest.

After a while, the entire courtyard was surrounded.

The people who came were dressed in all kinds of clothes and had different identities, and it seemed that they were improvised.Zhuang Jiuyao squinted his eyes, picked up the medicine bowl that Zhuang Ning'er had placed beside him, and gently brushed the mouth of the bowl with his hand, something rolled into it, and the soup and medicine quietly made a layer of tiny ripples.

After a moment of silence, he raised his head and gulped it down. The bitter taste of the medicine hit his forehead, making him frown slightly.

Standing up, stroking his robe, he said loudly: "The guest has come from a long way, so I welcome you from afar."

After the sound, from behind the group of people in front of the forest, a person slowly walked out, it was Yushu Linfeng's good figure.

The person who came was half disappointed and half surprised: "Mr. Zhuang? I didn't expect..."

Zhuang Jiuyao looked at him leisurely, and he frowned: "I didn't expect you to be the owner of Medicine King Valley."

"Leader Fang came really fast." Zhuang Jiuyao smiled, "It's only been a few days since I returned to the valley. Could it be that the leader flew here?"

Fang Qin shook his head regretfully: "Fang happened to be doing errands nearby these days, and heard reports from his subordinates that the master of the Medicine King Valley had returned. I didn't believe it at first, but his subordinates urged me to come and have a look in person, unexpectedly. it is true."

Zhuang Jiuyao raised his head slightly: "Oh, that's how it is. Fang Meng is in charge of a big battle, so if you come here to take a look, you have to bring so many people, and even make an ambush?"

"I didn't want to believe it." Fang Qin didn't care about what he said, repeated it, and then explained to himself, "One is that I have a relationship with Mr. Zhuang, and I believe that you are a good person in my heart; I will not return to the old place when the whole world is looking for me."

Alas, I don't know if this decent person talks so much nonsense before doing things.But it's no wonder, you have to find a good reason to do the shitty thing.

Zhuang Jiuyao listened to it, almost wanting to laugh.

I saw a person behind Fang Qin stepping forward: "What is the leader talking to him about? Is there any place other than the Valley of the Medicine King to make the Broken Yin? Who in the rivers and lakes does not know that the owner of the Valley of the Medicine King in Shu is moody, and as a doctor, he is not good at the job of a doctor." , save people only by likes and dislikes.”

"Yes!" Another bearded man stepped forward, "Although what the leader said is reasonable, he doesn't know that the most dangerous place is the safest place. He came back to the valley, if not for the ability of the leader's subordinates, who would have discovered it?"

Finally, Zhuang Jiuyao couldn't help laughing, for people in the martial arts world, the role of red face and white face is well assigned, but the words are lacking and the reasoning doesn't make sense.

Fang Qin frowned when he saw the uncontrollable smile on his face: "Mr. Zhuang, what do you want to say?"

Zhuang Ning'er heard the words and said first: "There is nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime! Leader Fang brought so many people here, isn't it just to bully the few? Does this mean to press our heads to force us to confess our sins?"

Fang Qin said sincerely: "Fang has absolutely no such intentions. I really don't want to believe that Mr. Zhuang is the murderer. Fang can trust the character of him and Xun Shaoxia."

As he spoke, he looked around, as if he was surprised to see Xun Luo.

"You said we were the murderers, except for the elusive Sui Yin, is there any evidence?" Zhuang Ning'er asked sharply, "It's a poison/drug that few people have seen before, but it's just rumored to be from the Valley of the Medicine King. A group of people gathered together and yelled to be beaten and killed, it's really cool! But I grew up here, and I have never seen any broken Yin."

Right at this point, a burly man jumped out with a hammer in his hand, and charged straight at Zhuang Ning'er: "What are you talking to them about? Who can come here to specifically frame Yaowanggu?"

Zhuang Ning'er didn't hesitate at all, she gently touched the ground with her toes, the ribbon in her sleeves appeared, and the two of them fought.

Seeing this scene, all the people in the martial arts felt that bullying more and winning less is not good for martial arts, while waiting to see the good show, they didn't make a move.

That big man was no match for Zhuang Ning'er.

Seeing that Zhuang Ninger's ribbon was about to hit his chest, Fang Siheng who was beside Fang Qin stepped between the two of them, held the ribbon with one hand, and blocked the big man's hammer with the other hand, and said loudly: "If you have something to say, Have something to say!"

The big man knew that the leader was trying to save face for him, so he didn't dare to say anything, he snorted and withdrew his moves.Zhuang Ning'er didn't even look at him, she just glanced at Fang Si with disdain, and stepped back half a step behind Zhuang Jiuyao.

Fang Qin turned his head to look at the various people, and then turned to Zhuang Jiuyao: "Mr. Zhuang, can you see if this works, let Fang ask you a few questions."

Zhuang Jiuyao raised his chin, Fang Qin said: "Mr. Qian and his party, have you ever been to Fengwu Mountain, and have you seen Baizhang Lake?"

"Yes." Zhuang Jiuyao slightly bent his eyes, "Leader Fang is really powerful."

Fang Qinqian said: "It just so happens that there is an old man living in Luohua Town. Senior Nangong is highly respected. Now that he is old, many people in the martial arts world are worried about his safety. Some people pay attention to Fengwu Mountain all the time. It just happened to be witnessed by others. "

Zhuang Jiuyao was noncommittal, Fang Qin said again: "But since Mr. and his party went down the mountain, Fang was in Jinling, but he received..."

He took a deep breath, it seemed that his emotions were unbearable, and the people behind him also looked suspicious. Zhuang Jiuyao felt a little cold, and he heard him continue: "I received the heads of Senior Nangong and the old servant Chen, and Nangong Senior... died with a broken Yin in his body."

"But we were not the only ones going up the mountain that day." Zhuang Ning'er was startled.

Fang Qin was surprised: "How is it possible? Senior Nangong never sees any guests, so you and your party are so eye-catching. Don't be afraid to tell Mr. Zhuang directly that Fang's friend actually wants to see Senior Nangong, so he lives in Luohua , and it is precisely because he cannot go to Fengwu Mountain that he pays special attention to Mr. Zhuang and his party."

He glanced back as he spoke, and a middle-aged man who looked very sincere came out and said: "I am a lay disciple of the Jiuhua Sect. I want to see the old senior because of some private matters. The old servant of the senior wrote back and said that if I can Only after passing the Liuhe Formation of Fengwu Mountain can I be eligible to see him, so I have lived in Luohua Town at the foot of the mountain for many years, and I went to try my luck if I had nothing to do. That day, Mr. and his party went up the mountain, I thought you would soon I came back after bumping into a wall, but I didn’t expect that you would go down the mountain the next day. So after you left, I went up the mountain with the mentality of giving it a try, but I saw..."

He paused, seeming to be in unbearable pain: "But I saw that Senior's residence was destroyed by fire, and Senior and Senior's old servants were all beheaded."

The people who came with Fang Qin seemed to have just found out about this, and the crowd was excited for a while, as if they rushed to smash Zhuang Jiuyao's body into thousands of pieces.

Zhuang Jiuyao chuckled lightly, but his eyes were icy cold. He glanced around the courtyard, and the angry voices came and went.

Fang Qin cupped his fists: "Mr. Zhuang, it's hard for you to justify now. If you think you're innocent, can you let us search your Valley of the Medicine Kings?"

"Didn't you search it?" Zhuang Jiuyao smiled, "Is there any place in my valley that Leader Fang and his subordinates haven't been to?"

Fang Qin paused, and Fang Si immediately took over the conversation: "Since Mr. Zhuang is upright and not afraid of the shadow slanting, then he shouldn't obstruct you. If you want to restore your innocence, you have to go through some cutscenes."

After saying this, he raised his hand, and a group of people came out behind him, and they were about to rush into the house.Zhuang Ning'er raised her eyebrows and shouted: "Who dares?"

It looked like she was a pretty girl, but the sound seemed to be powerful. Those people paused for a moment, and then realized that they were being slapped by such a little girl, and felt embarrassed for a moment.

Someone became so angry that he drew his sword and stabbed at Zhuang Ning'er.

Zhuang Jiuyao pulled Zhuang Ning'er past him and kicked him, hitting the man's wrist.

The weapon fell to the ground with a bang, and the people behind Fang Qin stepped forward in unison, and the atmosphere was suddenly tense.

"Search if you want." Zhuang Jiuyao frowned slightly, "What are you doing to a girl over and over again? Did she kill you or set you on fire? It's just a little girl, she The master is me, so what's the matter if you don't come at me? Dare I ask Leader Fang, do you, the so-called Central Plains martial arts, used to use the banner of justice to bully the strong and bully the weak more? "

"Young Master." Zhuang Ning'er was impatient, and was about to move forward, but Zhuang Jiuyao stopped her, and raised her eyebrows to look at the people in front of her.

When Fang Qin saw Zhuang Jiuyao, his brows did not relax, but his face looked dignified.

He raised his hand slightly, and the impromptu heroes retreated one after another, followed by another group of people entering Zhuang Jiuyao's house, and a few others went to the back of the yard.

The scene fell silent for a while.

"Ning'er, go and have a look, don't allow them to damage my things again, especially the medicinal materials drying in the yard." Zhuang Jiuyao turned her head and took a deep look at Zhuang Ning'er.

Zhuang Ning'er's heart tightened, remembering the "order" he just said.

She still stood still, Zhuang Jiuyao bent her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth: "Are you mad or do you want to hide? Hurry up, let them make a mess and we have to clean up for a few more days."

He looked at Fang Qin intentionally or unintentionally while talking: "A group of skinless and shameless people come and go like locusts, smashing and robbing, I'm afraid they will leave you a grain of food."

He didn't avoid people when he said this, and the faces of the people on the field were not good-looking.

Fang Qin frowned even more, a little embarrassed, more of suppressed anger, and his tone seemed a little blunt: "Thank you, Mr. Zhuang, for reminding, Fang will definitely control his subordinates in the future."

Zhuang Jiuyao pushed Zhuang Ning'er, and Zhuang Ning'er went into the house.

After a cup of tea, the people who searched around in the valley went back to the open space in the courtyard one by one, but found nothing.Everyone's faces became more and more ugly, but Fang Qin had already returned to his calm attitude after a moment of gaffe.

Zhuang Jiuyao sat on the recliner under the eaves of the veranda, regardless of giving up his seat or watching tea, leisurely playing with the fan repainted by Zhuang Ninger.

After waiting for a while, the last person came from the back of the house and reported: "Master, there is a cliff about a mile behind the house. There is a secret door on the cliff. It is hidden behind the woods. The door cannot be opened. Look inside and you should It's a hiding place."

Fang Qin seemed a little surprised, looked at Zhuang Jiuyao, and asked, "Mr. Zhuang's library is newly dug?"

"No." Zhuang Jiuyao glanced at the person who came to report, and said expressionlessly, "Some medicinal materials are stored in harsh conditions, and the storage room is specially used to store medicinal materials."

Fang Qin was serious when he heard the words: "Since we want to investigate, we must investigate clearly. Could you ask Mr. Zhuang to open the door?"

"What if I don't?" Zhuang Jiuyao smiled.
