Northern River Sword

Ten days later, Xue Hongliao, the leader of the Beggar Gang, Li Qiuyang, the owner of Biquan Villa, and many scattered people gathered in Longquan Temple, and He Ruying also brought people here.The host, Master Wang Hai, said that he had a very important announcement to make.Most people knew that Master Wang Hai was a famous swordsmith before he became a monk, and he was Weng Baiyu's senior brother. They thought that what he was about to say was related to the weapons he forged in the past, and thus attracted many heroes.

In front of the Daxiong Palace, there are green pines and cigarettes curling up.There are tables, chairs and fragrant tea around, and the little novice invites heroes to sit down.Everyone waited for a while, and saw the host Master Wang Hai walking out slowly.Everyone immediately quieted down.

Master Wang Hai is over sixty years old, his body is still very strong, and his expression is peaceful and peaceful.He walked to the middle of the courtyard, clasped his palms together and said, "Amitabha, you have kept all the benefactors waiting for a long time."

His voice is neither fast nor slow, calm and powerful, obviously deep and vigorous.Everyone has heard that Master Wanghai was a great swordsmith in the past, and now seeing his demeanor, it is really admirable.

Master Wanghai said: "Before the poor monk became a monk, he forged countless swords for others and read all the heroes in the world. Among them, there is one who is so outstanding that I will never forget it. It is a pity that he died young and was envied by others. Every time the poor monk thinks of him, he always feels uneasy. Now that the poor monk is old, if he does not untie this knot in his heart, he may never have the opportunity to clear up the grievances of this old friend. The poor monk Wanghai is willing to use his lifelong reputation to serve He has justified his name. Inviting all friends here today is to invite everyone to be a witness!"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the audience was in an uproar.Everyone looked at me and I looked at you with astonishment.

At this time, two young men came out from the hall, they were of similar stature, one was full of spirits, the other was calm and introverted, but their faces were exactly the same.Each of them held a long black sword in their hands.Someone in the audience recognized it and said loudly: "Beihe Sword! This is Meng Shuhe's Beihe Sword...how can there be two of them the same?"

After Meng Shuhe's death, the Beihe Sword was kept in Biquan Villa for more than ten years.When Li Qiuyang saw the sword, he frowned and said, "Why is this sword here?"

The two walked to Master Wanghai and stood still.Master Wanghai said: "Everyone is right, this is the Beihe Sword. This weapon was originally a pair, and Meng Shuhe asked me to forge it with my junior brother Weng Baiyu. Meng Shuhe is very sincere and begged us to forge a pair for him. The most powerful and most just sword in the world. Weng Baiyu asked him to go to the Kunlun Snow Region to find the cold iron that has been around for thousands of years. It is really a test of his will. The cold iron is hidden deep in the snow mountain. If you want to find it, you will almost die. It is impossible for a weak-willed person to do it. But he did it, which is really admirable."

The venue was very quiet, Master Wanghai continued: "The cold iron is indestructible. If it is smelted and forged into steel, there is nothing in the world that can rival it. Weng Baiyu was afraid that he would use this sword to do evil, so he vowed to use this sword to benefit the world , presided over the notarization for the weak, and my junior brother and I agreed to him. But he died, and he was despised by the world after his death-this is different from the Meng Shuhe that the poor monk knew. Weng Baiyu and I will not misunderstand , His mind is the toughest steel, he is very strict with himself, and he will never do those evil deeds."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Master Wang Hai was highly respected, so his words naturally carried weight.Everyone couldn't help being shaken, doubting the rumors they had heard.

Master Wanghai said: "Meng Shuhe's death happened many years ago, and the poor monk didn't know the reason. But this incident has always been a knot in the poor monk's heart. Until recently, I read the story of Shanshui monk Suicide note. Please listen to what is said in the letter, it is up to you to judge for yourself.”

Master Wanghai took out a letter from his pocket and recited it loudly.

"The poor monk's landscape, the few words left today, are all from the heart, hoping to alleviate the sins committed in the past. 20 years ago, the whole family of the Hu family was slaughtered. He Ru was raised to support the banner of righteousness and established the Qiying League. The poor monk was also inspired. Join. Who knew that He Ruying was the real culprit who killed the Hu family, Xue Zhonghao, the elder of the Beggar Clan, found a flaw in it and killed him too..."

The suicide note narrated He Ruying's murder of Hu's family and Xue Zhonghao, and also said that everyone in the Qiying League did not hesitate to kill each other in order to obtain the Shaoyang Sword Manual.The letter rectified Meng Shuhe's name and cleared his grievances.Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe it for a while.

He Ruying's face was ashen, and he said loudly: "It's a bunch of nonsense. Monk Shanshui is dead, and his suicide note is naturally to make as many as he wants. How can such things be trusted!"

Su Yi said: "Master Shanshui's suicide note is real, and the handwriting can be compared with the handwriting on the poems and paintings left by him. If you refuse to admit it, let's find some heroes to come up and see if this suicide note is the same as Master Shanshui's handwriting .”

He Ruying said coldly: "There are many talented people in Jianghu, so naturally there are people who can imitate handwriting. Even if there is a slight resemblance, it does not prove that it is true. Who are you, kid? I have no grievances or grievances with you Qiu, why did you fabricate Monk Shanshui's suicide note to frame me!"

Su Yi sneered and said, "You don't recognize me? You father and son killed my master Su Ti in front of me in order to win the Shaoyang Sword Manual, and even pushed the matter to my brother Qin Xiao. You killed me My father and master are mortal enemies, and I must seek justice for them!"

Qin Xiao glanced at Su Yi, and said to everyone: "We are the orphans of Meng Shuhe, my name is Qin Xiao, and his name is Su Yi."

People in the Jianghu have always only heard of Qin Xiao by name, and have never seen his true face, so they hate and fear him.As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar.

He Ruying said: "Everyone, don't listen to this kid who confuses right and wrong. Qin Xiao, the devil, has killed countless comrades in the world. He dared to show up today, so we will capture him just in time to avenge the death of his comrades in the martial arts world." .”

Everyone in the He family made a gesture to come forward to fight Qin Xiao.Master Wanghai said: "Amitabha, please don't move your swords and sticks." He was full of internal energy, and his voice was like a bell. Everyone present could only feel their ears buzzing, and no one dared to step forward for a while.

Su Yi said loudly: "Today, my two brothers came here to clear up my father's grievances. Please listen to what we have said. Qin Xiao did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. The people he killed deserve what they deserve."

Immediately, someone asked: "What does it mean to deserve what you deserve! Don't talk nonsense, you kid. Those who were killed by him are heroes. I think you two deserve what you deserve if you die today!"

Su Yi glanced at the man, saw him standing next to He Timing, knew that He Timing instructed him to say that, and didn't take it to heart.

Qin Xiao said loudly: "I, Qin Xiao, dare to act bravely, unlike He Ruying who hides his head and shows his tail, and is hypocritical. Hu Tianxing killed my father back then, and Xie Beihan killed my lover. I did kill these two with my own hands. As for Elder Su and Master Shanshui of the Beggar Gang, they were all killed by He Ruying. The case of the Jiujiang Feiyu Gang is obvious to all. It’s all about framing Qiu Guangcheng.”

The blue veins on He Ruying's forehead were exposed, and his face was already a bit ferocious, he said angrily, "You have a sharp tongue, even if Master Wanghai is protecting you today, I must teach you a lesson!"

Su Yi smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry. We not only have Master Shanshui's suicide note, but also witnesses. If you still refuse to admit what you did, we have no choice but to invite him to meet you. Senior Qiu , please come out."

A man in white came out of the Daxiong Hall.When He Ruying saw him, his eyes widened and his brows furrowed deeply.

Qiu Guangcheng walked to the center of the courtyard, and everyone recognized him, but they didn't expect him to appear here at this time.Everyone knew that He Ruying regarded Qiu Guang as a thorn in his side and wanted to kill him several times. Now that Qiu Guangcheng appeared in front of him, he must have something to say.

Qiu Guangcheng hugged all four sides, and said loudly: "My friends, Qiu Guangcheng sworn sworn vows with He Ruying and joined the Qiying League in the past. I have seen everything he has done in these years, and no one knows what happened to him. It’s clearer than me. What the two little brothers said just now is true.”

Everyone was in an uproar, Qiu Guangcheng said: "Back then when the Qiying League competed for the Shaoyang sword manual, I hid the drug in the fire. I wanted to steal the sword manual, but He Ruying was on guard. , He wanted to snatch the sword manual from me. I was as good as him in martial arts, and no one took advantage of it for a while. Mixiang's medicine is limited. Seeing that the rest of the people are about to wake up, I said that I would share it with him afterwards, and he also agreed. I had no choice but to agree to help me cover it up."

He Ruying said angrily: "Nonsense, I've been an upright person all my life, how could I conspire with a despicable villain like you!"

Qiu Guangcheng said: "Am I a despicable person? Back then when you and I made blood alliances, we cherished each other very much! Now you are afraid that I will expose what you have done in the past, and you will not hesitate to murder the brothers of the Flying Fish Gang and plant it on you!" On my head, you want to kill me like you killed Meng Shuhe, and then you can be your hero with peace of mind, right?"

He Ruying's face was livid, and Qiu Guangcheng said: "Later, the beggar gang arrived, and the sword manual everyone handed to Elder Su was a fake, and he threw it into the fire and burned it, which is also an explanation to Wulin. Yang Jianpu, I had selfish intentions. Taking advantage of He Ruying being entangled by the gang of beggars, I took away the real copy. He Ruying couldn't get the sword manual, so he joined forces with Xie Biao in a rage, and for decades I was against you, trying to force me to spit out the sword manual. He funded the Xie family to set up the Eight Desolation Escort Bureau to make things difficult for my Qiu family, and that's how everything that happened later happened."

He Ruying was speechless, and He Diming said in a trembling voice: "It's nonsense, my father upholds justice for the martial arts, you are framing it!"

Qiu Guangcheng said: "Xie Biao was the only one who died at my hands. As for the former head of the Beggar Gang Xue Zhonghao, Elder Su and others were killed by He Ruying. There are still survivors of the Flying Fish Gang who witnessed the tragedy, we have also Please come, does He Daxia want to meet them?"

Su Yi had already asked someone to invite the survivors of the Flying Fish Gang to come up, and when that person saw He Ruying, he felt fear and anger at the same time.Hiding behind Qiu Guangcheng, he said in a trembling voice: "It's him. On the seventh night of the first month of last month, he led people to set fire to our boat and killed our brother. I jumped into the river to save my life. Please heroes! The hero upholds justice for our Flying Fish Gang!"

After these words were spoken, everyone no longer doubted what Qiu Guangcheng and others said.Xue Hongliu burst into anger, and shouted loudly: "He Ruying, you killed my father, today I want you to pay in blood!"

Everyone from the beggar gang came forward, pounding the ground with bamboo sticks, and shouted loudly: "Revenge for the old gang leader, revenge for the old gang leader!"

He Ruying saw that the beggar gang had a large number of people, and the few people he brought along were not their opponents.He said to Li Qiuyang, the owner of Biquan Villa, "Brother Li, we have been good friends for many years. Today, these young people are slandering me. Do you want to stand by and watch?"

Li Qiuyang has a close friendship with Hu Tianxing's family, and he was very angry when he learned that the whole family of Hu's family was killed by He Ruying.But he did have friendship with He Ruying, so it is inconvenient to make a move today.He said loudly: "Unexpectedly, the leader of the Qiying League turned out to be such a dignified and femme-hearted person. Li had misjudged the wrong person in the past and made friends with you by mistake. Today, you and I cut our robes and cut off righteousness, and we have nothing to do with each other from now on." , do it yourself!"

As he spoke, he tore off a piece of his clothes and threw it on the ground, and then he took people away.

He Ruying's evil deeds were exposed, and his reputation was ruined.After Li Qiuyang left, no one spoke for him.Xue Hongliao, Qiu Guangcheng, Qin Xiao and others all wanted to settle accounts with him.Seeing the crowd approaching him step by step, he knew it was difficult to escape, so he suddenly said to He Diming: "Go!"

He Timing still couldn't bear to abandon his father, so He Ruying gave him a hard push behind his back and said, "Go!"

He Timing had no choice but to turn around and run away, Qiu Guangcheng was going to chase him, but He Ruying drew his sword and stopped Qiu Guangcheng, saying: "What is between you and me, we will settle it between you and me."

Xue Hongliao came forward with a green bamboo stick in his hand and said, "Uncle Qiu, leave this man to me!"

Qin Xiao and Su Yi stepped forward together, and Su Yi said: "Master Xue, it's fine if you want to beat him up, but you have to spare his life for our brother. We must avenge the revenge of killing our father and master. .”

The four surrounded He Ruying in the middle, He Ruying looked around and suddenly raised his sword to attack Su Yi.Su Yi drew his sword to resist, and received five or six of his sword strikes in a short time, He Ruying did not expect that his sword technique has improved so much that he is so difficult to deal with.

Qin Xiao and Qiu Guangcheng attacked with swords from left and right.He Ruying tried his best to deal with it, but by accident, Qin Xiao cut a bloody gash on his left shoulder.He took a step back and turned to run away.Xue Hongliu stopped behind him and hit him head-on with a green bamboo stick.

He Ruying dodged that move, and suddenly shot out several hidden weapons from his sleeve.Xue Hongliao dodged to dodge, He Ruying seized the opportunity to slap her on the heart, the force of the palm was released heavily, spitting out blood from Xue Hongliao's mouth.

Su Yi was startled, rushed up to support Xue Hongliao, and said repeatedly: "Master Xue, are you alright?"

He Ruying took advantage of the chaos and jumped, stepped on the shoulders of several Beggar Clan disciples, and escaped.

All the disciples of the Beggars' Clan were very anxious when they saw that the leader was seriously injured, and they gathered around one after another.Qin Xiao wanted to chase, but was pushed back again and again by the crowd, unable to move against the current.

Xue Hongliao coughed up a mouthful of blood, and said: "Don't let him run away, the elders of Gengjintang will lead people to chase after him!" Elder Huo agreed, and led people to follow He Ruying away.

Xue Hongliu took Xueshen Yanshou Wan, the elixir medicine used by the Beggar Clan to cure internal injuries, and the pain in the viscera gradually eased.Su Yi sat cross-legged, put his hands against Xue Hongliu's vest, and sent a wave of true energy to him.Xue Hongliao noticed Su Yi's strong inner strength, and was very surprised.After a long time of peace and smoothness, she let out a long breath and said, "Thank you very much. It's a pity that I couldn't kill that villain He Ruying."

Su Yi said: "Don't worry, there are brothers from the two halls of the beggar gang following, and Lin Chuan also brought people from the general's mansion to chase after him. He Ruying will definitely not be able to escape."

Xue Hongliao was unwilling to kill He Ruying himself.Su Yi persuaded: "He Ruying has done a lot of evil, and our brothers will definitely not let him go. Leader Xue is recovering from his wounds, and we will take the thief's head as a sacrifice to the old leader and Elder Su."

Everyone from the Beggar Clan and Xue Hongliu are recuperating in Dali, waiting for news.Qiu Guangcheng went through this ups and downs, half of his life's prosperity and scenery disappeared, deeply felt that the world is impermanent, fame and fortune are vain, so he lost his hair and converted to Buddhism.He worshiped Master Wang Hai as his teacher, and never cared about Jianghu affairs again.

Su Yi and Qin Xiao followed He Ruying to Baiyundu.The disciples of the Gengjintang of the Beggar Gang trapped He Ruying in a small valley to the north of Baiyundu.The crowd surrounded the place, beating drums and shouting. The situation was very similar to that of He Ruying's pursuit of Qiu Guangcheng a few months ago. Times have changed, and those who had thought of setting up a trap have now become shackles.

The sunset burns the sky, red like the blood of the enemy.

Su Yi looked at the sunset glow in the sky, and let out a sigh of relief.His heart was a little heavy, he didn't know if he could defeat He Ruying, if fate made his footsteps stop here, looking back on this life, there seemed to be nothing worth regretting.

Qin Xiao said: "I have never trusted anyone in my life, but to have you, a brother worthy of my life, no matter whether I can win this battle or not, I will not live in vain."

Su Yi's heart warmed, and he said peacefully: "We will survive."

Qin Xiao looked at him, the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the valley together.
