Yanshan Exquisite Record

Only a hundred miles east of Yingyang City, there is a quiet and elegant place called Linxi River. It is rumored that you can touch the setting sun. 23 years ago, a senior official surnamed He retired from the court and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. He built a magnificent He mansion. So this place has another easy-to-understand name——Hejiaxiang.

Next to the dirt road was a tea shed made of oilcloth, and several old women wearing headscarves were chatting with each other, when they suddenly saw a blue figure falling in front of them, waiting for them to squint their eyes against the light see clearly.Only then did I realize that it was a very handsome scholar.

The scholar looked tired, and bowed unsteadily, "I also invite some ladies to drink tea as an excuse."

There have been no young people in Hejia Lane for a long time, and the old women were surprised, but the country people were hospitable, and they still fetched a bowl of water and asked, "It's getting dark, little brother, where are you going?"

The scholar poured water from the well, wiped his mouth, and forced a smile, "I heard that the scenery of Linxi River is very beautiful, so the students come here from afar to enjoy the scenery."

As soon as these words came out, several old women looked at each other in blank dismay again, looking at him as if they were looking at a monster, and one of them kindly persuaded, "Little brother, listen to Grandma's advice, and go ten miles further, you are so old today!" May not go back."

The scholar wondered, "How do you say that?"

That person said again, "This place is no longer Linxi River, nor is it called Hejia Lane, but now we all call it Guijia Lane."

The scholar seemed taken aback by this title, and said blankly, "Why is such a beautiful place called Ghost House Lane?"

"Naturally, outsiders don't know about it." Grandma shook her head, with a look of regret, "This is originally the old residence of He Zhuangyuan's mansion, and Wu Zhuangyuan returned to his hometown. What a glorious thing, but it's a pity that He's mansion is prosperous here. Years later, the door was destroyed, and the murderer has not been caught yet."

The scholar was shocked, "There is such an outrageous thing?"

Another old woman persuaded, "But if this is done by a human being, if the enemy seeks revenge, the government will just catch it, but the old masters of Qingtian didn't find anything good or bad, so they closed the case hastily, and brought us ordinary people into trouble." I was worried every day, and some people said that this incident must have been done by a ghost, so I couldn't find out. Over time, this place was called Ghost's Lane. If you go in, I don't know how many horrible things will happen. Come here, my child. Just go back."

After listening carefully, the scholar scratched his head again, holding his chin as if talking to himself, "I see."

One of the grandma scooped up another bowl of water, and said softly, "Little brother, go back after drinking, you really can't go to this place."

The scholar raised his head, staring at the bowl of clear well water with his jet-black pupils, suddenly narrowed his eyes with a smile, and drank it without any hesitation, "Thank you ladies."

On the field road not far away, there was the sound of ox carts and carriages. Several old women noticed that their old man had come back from work. With a flash of green clothes, he disappeared, and asked strangely, "Who were you talking to just now?"

"A very handsome little scholar who said he was going to Linxi River." The old woman said as she tiptoed to remove the straw from the thick-browed old man's head, "We have persuaded him to go back earlier."

The country people like to watch the excitement, and it has been a long time since I saw this well-educated bully come to the door, another old man took a sip of water, and went to find the most handsome scholar, but after looking around, he shouted, "Where is the scholar, who is he? "

A grandma pointed to the tea shed, "Isn't it right there, drinking water."

The old man glanced again, his goatee trembling, "Old man Hu, and you women, don't you just look at me?"

After saying that, they turned their heads to look at the path again, not to mention the man in Tsing Yi, there was not even half a shadow, only a gust of evil wind blew past and rolled up a cloud of dust.

Hua Yaojiu walked to an old house with his hands behind his back. The two stone lions were covered with grass and moss, and the stone steps were cracked. Even the red-painted and gold-painted He Mansion on the high place did not escape.

A crystal clear garnet-colored moonstone pendant was dangling in his hand, with a smile on his face, he kicked open the gate of the He Mansion which was pasted with an old seal.

The furnishings in the house are the same as in the old days, the chair of the grand master is covered with a thick layer of dust, and the black blood stains left by the year can be faintly seen on the wall and the floor. Every two steps, the dead branches and leaves under the feet will creak, making the scalp numb. voice came.

Hua Yaojiu was as happy as an outing, and even hummed two out of tune tunes. He didn't stop until he saw the back of the black robe in the room. He raised his eyebrows and smiled as expected, "The master is worthy You are a master, I asked you to go to the appointment alone, and you really came alone."

The man in black turned around slowly, under the black robe was an iron mask, his voice was hoarse, and his words seemed to have been burned in iron sand, "Invitation from the owner of Hidden Valley, who in the Jianghu would dare not give face?"

Hua Yaojiu walked up to him, picked out a grand master's chair and wiped it with his sleeve, and then sat down slowly. The garnet-colored moonstone was placed on his lap, shining strangely, "How about it, revisit the old place , I wonder if you have ever felt guilty?"

The man in black mocked, "Why, now even the owner of Hidden Valley has begun to put on that merciful skin to show mercy to the world?"

"Hahahahahahaha." Hua Yaojiu played with the stone and suddenly burst out laughing.

The man in black seemed to be irritated by his laughter, his fists were bruised, "What are you laughing at?"

In the blink of an eye, Hua Yaojiu stood in front of the man in black, facing the iron mask under his cloak, and his eyes were full of autumnal water, but there was no smile at all, only revealing a breathtaking viciousness and Fiercely, he opened his mouth and spoke softly, "I never show mercy to anyone, so whether you want to kill the He family or the Lu family or dominate the world, it has nothing to do with me."

"Then why did you invite me to come here for a talk, in order to prove that the power of Hidden Valley is known to everyone in the world?" The man in black was still standing straight, he squinted his eyes, "Or...you want me to promote you as a martial artist ally?"

Hua Yaojiu squinted at him, as if looking at a ridiculous and pathetic dog.

The man in black sneered and said, "An ignorant child who wants to climb to the throne of the leader of the martial arts with some indiscriminate kung fu, isn't it a dream? You don't even doubt a bowl of water on the side of the road, or... your wife Zhiren doesn't want to disappoint the kindness of those old women? Huh?"

"You don't know how to poison, why don't I dare to drink it?" Hua Yaojiu touched the tassel of the pendant and sneered, "Even I don't know the strength of Yingu. If I die here, even if you have With Yanshan Mobing Needle in hand, maybe hundreds of my brothers will rush out to die with you, or maybe a declassified letter will be sent to the hands of all the martial arts sects, you don’t know how powerful it is.”

The man in black said in a deep voice, "Then if I support you as the leader of the martial arts alliance, today's matter can be exposed?"

"Do you really think I want to be the leader of the martial arts?" Hua Yaojiu's tone was already three points cold, and he mocked, "According to your temper, I'm afraid my butt can't even sit warm, and I will be killed by you secretly."

"Then what exactly do you want?" The man in black's eyes gradually became murderous.

"I want you to stay away from Song Xueqiao." Hua Yaojiu didn't bother to go around at all, he tilted his head and smiled faintly, but his youthful face was terrifyingly sinister, "His life is mine, and it's not up to other people's filth Let's touch."

The man in black stood silently, as if he was thinking about it. This is obviously not a difficult condition. After a long while, he said, "If I don't touch Song Xueqiao, can Master Huagu keep this matter to himself? Death has nothing to do with you, as for the disciples that Yingu knows, please ask Master Huagu to clean up."

Hua Yaojiu sneered, "I'm different from you, a well-dressed beast. I never joke about my disciples' lives, so I won't tell them this kind of thing from the beginning."

"That's good." The man in black actually bowed slightly to him, "Then please also take charge of Huagu, Second Young Master Song. There are some things that he shouldn't touch."

"I promise you, although what you have done is quite ridiculous, but it makes sense for you." Hua Yaojiu chuckled, turned to look at the dilapidated eaves, and sighed, "Actually, Song Xueqiao is very smart. If they are willing to check a little bit more... It's a pity that he and his talented senior brother are the real benevolence of women, and because of their emotions, they will never be able to see through the truth, isn't it? ?"

The man in black also looked up at the gloomy sky.

There were two homing geese circling and alighting on the dead branches in the yard to comb their feathers. After a while, there was a patter of rain hitting the old tile and gray wall, and the sky thundered suddenly, illuminating the eaves. With a handsome face, the geese that landed raised their heads to the sky and howled, flapping their wings and flying away.

The man in black suddenly sighed deeply.

A silver needle pierced through the dull air, and carried the dust towards the back of the boy's head under the eaves. In the rain, Hua Yaojiu's figure remained unchanged, with a faint smile still on the corner of his mouth, but the needle was behind him Suddenly, he was slapped away by an incomparably precise palm wind, and he reversed the direction and nailed it to the dilapidated door.

Back to the silence of the room, only the patter of rain.

The man in black was stunned, took a step back in disbelief, and clenched a bamboo tube carved from black bamboo around his waist, "You..."

"20 years ago, was this how you killed the youngest of the He family?" Hua Yaojiu walked in like a ghost, walking lightly step by step. Blood stains, he seemed to have witnessed the howling and howling here 20 years ago.

Feeling a little sad suddenly.

The hoarse voice of the man in black trembled a little, "Can you escape the ink ice needle? Who are you?"

"Escape?" Hua Yaojiu stood still in front of him, with that half-smile look again, "I can become the owner of the hidden valley and order all the masters by myself, who do you think I am?" .”

He approached the man in black, stretched out his hand and caressed the black bamboo tube, "His hand is three inches away, soft and weak, even if it is a good hidden weapon, you can't release its half-successful power, Ding Mobai doesn't want them to survive It makes sense in the world, a good weapon should be paired with a top expert, just like the most beautiful clothes should be paired with the most beautiful women, so as not to be stained by you wild foxes."

The man in black opened his eyes.

Next to Hua Yaojiu's clear voice, "Do you want... I'll teach you how to use it?"

The sound of the rain was getting louder, mixed with strong winds. In the early winter season, two bead-sized beads of sweat rolled down the face of the man in black. Hua Yaojiu was standing behind him, still smiling calmly and harmlessly. The black bamboo tube with exactly the same pole is placed in his palm, and it only takes a moment to turn the person in front of him into a corpse.

"Master Huagu, I missed the appointment first."

As if unwilling to continue the stalemate, the man in black said slowly, "It's understandable that you want to kill me, but..."

Hua Yaojiu frowned, he hated hearing a but word the most in his life, but now he heard it.

"You can ignore world affairs, wander around the world, and be an idle valley owner." The man in black laughed lowly.

Hua Yaojiu squinted his eyes, he already had a premonition that there would be some bad words, so he clenched his hidden weapon three points tightly.

The man in black didn't seem to notice it, and the face under the iron mask seemed to show a look of pride, "But what about Qi Zuoshi? His wife and children, by the way... and you value Young Master Song, his own sister, and why not?" There is his beautiful junior sister, who seems to be called Yueyao..."

"You dare!" Hua Yaojiu's eyes were bloodshot suddenly, and his voice was like a raging young animal. He really wanted to poison the person in front of him with a single shot, but he hesitated.

"Of course I dare." The man in black smiled softly, speaking every word loudly, carrying the depressing aura unique to rainy days.

"You think you are better than Pei and Song, but in the end, no matter how good your martial arts are, you are still just a brat."
