different paths

At noon, the Zuixian Tower was full of people as usual, very lively.As the premier restaurant in the city, Zuixianlou not only has an elegant environment, delicious food, but also the first-class waiters in the restaurant, no matter how picky the guests are, they can serve them comfortably and properly.

In the corner by the window on the second floor, sat an ordinary-looking young man.He looked at the pedestrians coming and going downstairs, and a shrewdness that did not match his appearance flashed in his eyes.

"Xiao Er." He beckoned, motioning for Xiao Er to order.

After ordering, he casually said: "I heard that the famous Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is in this city, do you know how to get there?"

Xiaoer heard the words and quickly asked in a low voice: "The guest officer is not a local, is he?"

"So what?"

"That's it. If you're a local, there's no way you haven't heard of the tragedy at the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau recently." Xiao Er said with a nervous look on his face, "Overnight, the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, including the head of the bodyguard, Fang Pojia Hundreds of people in the family were killed, and no one survived!"

"I didn't know that such a thing happened." The man was shocked when he heard this.

"In addition to the people from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, there were also three masters who were killed at the same time." Xiaoer whispered, "Mu Qianli, the god-eye, Zhang Qiuzhi, the Northwest giant, and Du Yi, the chief disciple of Qianmianmen, all died in Zhenyuan. In the dart board."

"Fang Pojia is already a well-known master in the Jianghu, plus these three people..." The young man murmured, "What kind of person has such ability..."

"It is said that this matter is related to Star Picking Valley."

"Oh?"

"There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the head of Fang's bodyguard received a star letter before he was killed, and the other party said that he would take away the mutton fat jade bottle."

"Where is the suet jade bottle now?" the young man hurriedly asked.

"Disappeared." Xiaoer looked around cautiously, and continued, "Now the government has sent people to surround the bodyguard bureau, saying that they want to thoroughly investigate the matter. But let me tell you, the murderer can kill even the four masters." , how can I be afraid of those catchers who only have the skills of three-legged cats."

After listening to his words, the young man fell into deep thought, and Xiao Er tactfully retreated when he saw this.

It's night, Zhenyuan Escort.

The watchman beat the gong grittyly and passed by the door of the escort agency.The drowsy gatekeepers were jolted by the sound of the gong, and regained their clarity.

"Did you hear anything just now?" A soldier who had just dozed off asked the other to cover up.

"No." Another said, "I heard the sound of the gong."

"Didn't you hear me?"

"No. If you're worried, go in and have a look, I'll help you look here."

"Forget it, I may have heard it wrong." The soldier relaxed his mind, hunched his body, and prepared to fall asleep again.

At the same time, there was a person standing in front of the study of the Chief Escort of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.The hazy moonlight shone on his plain face, and he was the young man who was in Zuixianlou during the day.

In the night, he stared at the closed door, as if thinking about something.The night wind passed through the courtyard, and the leaves made the sound of "fluttering" and "fluttering". Deep in the shadow of the trees, there was boundless darkness, which seemed to spread and swallow the entire escort agency.

The young man sniffed hard, and there seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air. The deep and shallow traces on the window paper reminded people of what kind of tragedy happened here.

He took a few steps forward and was about to open the door when he heard a "whoosh" and something hit him head-on.He hastily dodged, a bead was nailed straight to his feet, upon careful inspection, it turned out to be a bodhi seed.

"Who?" There was no panic on his face, but there was a huge wave in his heart.Who could sneak into his side so silently, without him even noticing?If he hadn't dodged in time, the bodhi seed might have been nailed into his body.

While he was asking, a person had slowly come out from behind the screen wall.He was wearing the most common gray cloth shirt, but he couldn't hide his unearthly appearance.A pair of eyes are as quiet as an ancient well, without waves or ripples, deep and calm.A thin lip under the bridge of the straight nose, the lip line is sharp, but the corners of the lips seem to be flamboyant.

Such a face, such a person, people can't see clearly, can't guess.

If you seek redemption, he is Buddha, if you are willing to fall, he is Shura.

However, the most surprising thing is not his appearance, but his posture.Under the clear light, he was sitting in a wheelchair with his spine straight.

Did he have a leg problem? The young man's eyes fell on the wheelchair, thinking secretly in his heart.

"Shaolin disciple Yue Chentan was entrusted by the head to investigate the case of the Zhenyuan Escort." Yue Chentan came to the young man, looked at him calmly, his lips were as thin as a knife, "Your Excellency broke into the Escort at night and acted secretly. What do you want?"

"What do you mean by being sneaky!" The young man picked out the bodhi seed from the ground and blew the dust on it. "Can you investigate this case but I can't? Among the people who were killed, there was my brother."

"Oh?" Yue Chentan's tone was light, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not.

"What tone are you talking about?" the young man said dissatisfied, "Don't you believe me? My name is Jia Wujue, and I am a disciple of the Thousand Faces Sect. If you don't believe me, just go and investigate."

"That's all." Yue Chentan didn't get entangled in this issue, and it seemed that it didn't matter to him whether Jia Wukai's identity was true or not.

He looked at Jia Wujue with the same eyes as he looked at flowers, plants, trees, birds and animals. This attitude of "all beings are equal" made Jia Wujua a little unhappy.

Jia Wujue raised his eyebrows and said to Yue Chentan: "As expected of a Shaolin disciple, you have a big heart. Although you have never heard of me, I have heard of your name a long time ago. Master Tianxuan's closed disciple, the age You easily broke the Wooden Man Alley and the Eighteen Arhats Formation, wasn't it you?"

Yue Chentan glanced at him, but didn't make a sound.

"Since your martial arts are so advanced, let me ask you a question." Jia Wukai handed the bodhi seed to Yue Chentan, "For people like you who fly hidden weapons randomly, do you pick up the hidden weapons that fly out by yourself or simply pick them up?" Don’t want it anymore? I think this Bodhi seed is the best Xingyue Bodhi seed. Instead of throwing it around, brother Yue, why not call me before throwing it, I can get a good price when I pick it up, don’t you think so?”

Yue Chentan took the Bodhisattva and looked at him with blazing eyes: "Your Excellency really intends to do so, why don't you go and find 'Throat Sealing Flying Needle' Zhen Ruxu, 'Bloodshot God Dart' Zhang Shihuan and others."

Zhang Shihuan's magic dart is made of fine iron, Zhen Ruxu's flying needle is made of pure silver, and the price is far higher than that of bodhi seeds.But who doesn't know that Zhen Ruxu and Zhang Shihuan are both fearsome masters of hidden weapons, if you go to them to ask for weapons, will you die?

Jia Wujue twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard the words, and saw that his expression was so flat that he didn't seem to be joking, so he asked tentatively: "Brother Yue is serious?"

"Naturally." Yue Chentan looked indifferent, "Your Excellency, you are welcome."
