Wulin Mysteries

After Xiuyuan bid farewell to the old man, he made many inquiries and finally stood in front of the gate of Juxian Village.

The Qin family is one of the largest families in the martial arts in the Central Plains, and Juxian Village is the leader of the heroes in the south of the Yangtze River, so the gate is extraordinarily magnificent, with two majestic and lifelike stone lions on the left and right, and three or five people holding long spears.

Xiuyuan stepped forward to explain his purpose, and the servant only said:

"You know our second young master?"

Xiu Yuan nodded, but looking at the servant's appearance, he seemed half-believing, and at the same time disliked him as a poor monk, so he just replied hastily: "Master, Eldest Young Master, and Second Young Master have gone to Ningbo Mansion, and they will not return home in the near future."

After speaking, he turned around and entered the courtyard, leaving only the three or five living door gods in front of the door.

As a last resort, I was walking alone in Suzhou Qianjie, when someone happened to be telling a book, and a group of people surrounded me.

"Listen up, all the judges. Last time we talked about Mr. Qin's battle with Ling Jiuchong, do you know who has appeared in the Jianghu in the past ten years?"

Everyone shook their heads, the storyteller stroked his white beard, patted the board and said:

"You guys don't know, a hundred years ago, I don't know where a first-class Demon Sect came from, and it was called Tianyi Sect. The Tianyi Sect originated from a branch of Tibetan Buddhism. After several generations of baptism, most of the members of the sect were Chinese. , not only can read and break characters, but the leaders of all dynasties have studied the Four Books and Five Classics as well as the Central Plains Buddhism, recited poems and made pairs, played piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and are proficient in everything, all of them are god-like figures!"

Xiuyuan squeezed into the crowd and listened carefully. At first, he couldn't help but be amazed. On this avenue where people come and go, the old man even publicly joked about the Tianyi Sect, but he was not afraid of being retaliated by the Guangbu believers. After hearing it, he couldn't help it. Laughed, such a statement seems to be an excuse for Padmasambhava and his ancestors, no wonder no one troubled him.

Although he couldn't tell the truth from the fake, but couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, so he continued to listen.

"However, the previous leader, Liu Hengming, is only in his early forties now, but he died eight years ago. He was in his prime at that time. What do you think is the reason?"

Everyone has speculated:

"I must have practiced evil skills, and died of madness!"

"I think he was killed by Mr. Qin's sword and killed by his sword!"

"Or some demon cultists rebelled and took advantage of the chaos to kill Liu Hengming?"

The old gentleman shook his head with a smile, took a sip of the good wine in the big bowl, and responded one by one: "Liu Hengming has always been cautious, even the "Jing He Jing", which is unique in the world, only dared to practice to the seventh level. , and then it will stop at a high mountain.”

Then someone in the crowd asked:

"Why?"

"Liu Hengming is afraid of death. This "Jing He Jing" is very easy to practice. Even if he is such a martial arts prodigy, if he practices it to the top, it will damage the arteries. Although his internal strength is unparalleled, his life span will be greatly reduced. He may not live to be 30 years old." age. Especially in the last few years, when he aged like a year in January, he was only 28 or [-] years old, and he was like a dying old man. To be able to practice to the seventh level, and secondly, he himself understands that there is a watershed here, and there are many dangers going up."

Some people sigh:

"The devil's sect acts in an evil and weird way. Since ancient times, it has killed one thousand enemies and harmed itself by eight hundred. This Liu Hengming is careful!"

The old gentleman said again:

"Then old master Qin forced Ling Jiuzhong to hide in Wangchuan Palace for retreat, but he himself was seriously injured. Don't ask about Jianghu affairs, and leave everything to Master Shi to take care of it. Naturally, it has nothing to do with Liu Hengming's death."

Everyone sighed again, thinking of the recent death of Shi Longxiang and the four great masters, they all shook their heads and sighed: "I heard that the owner of Qin Feng and Qin Villa will come forward in person this time, and he will definitely give everyone an explanation!"

"That's right, the owner of the Qin family has gone to Ningbo, and the two young masters, who are dragons and phoenixes among the people, have also gone. How can there be no Qin family in the world!"

Xiuyuan was surprised, it turned out that Qin Yuanxiu had gone to Ningbo!Suzhou is some distance away from Ningbo, but the old boatman just said clearly that the martial arts conference was postponed for half a month, so there should be time.

Everyone talked and talked, and then returned to the topic:

"Then who is Liu Hengming's death related to?"

The old man shook his head and said:

"Thousands of calculations, who would have thought that Liu Hengming died at the hands of his own son!"

Everyone was taken aback, even Xiu Yuan stood there dumbfounded, he felt that something was wrong when he broke into the stone room where the sacrificial tablets were placed that day.Lianhuasheng's father is obviously called Liu Hengming, why did he give him such a weird name.I thought it was his name, but the three characters "Lianhuasheng" were clearly written on the rigorous and neat tablet, and I was still puzzled by the relationship.Now that I heard that Liu Hengming died at the hands of Padmasambhava, I have even more doubts.

Others were also very surprised:

"How could this be so, there are such rebellious sons in the world, they are not as good as animals!"

"People in the Devil's Cult act to extremes, and they often do things that destroy human relations and morality. I just heard that Liu Hengming and his wife love each other, and the family is harmonious, but how could they give birth to such a son!"

The old man's eyes were misty, and he sighed after a long time:

"I'm afraid only the person involved will know the reason. At that time, Lianhuasheng was only 14 years old, and he went to Gutang Road with his parents to find the sacred scriptures of the Demon Sect, but he was the only one who came back. There are rumors that..."

"how?"

The old man stroked his white beard again, but he didn't want to say any more.

Everyone just listened to the excitement, and when they saw the old man got up to leave, they scattered like birds and beasts.

Only Xiuyuan stood on the spot blankly, he had such intimate affairs with Lianhuasheng, now hearing his life experience, whether it is true or not, how could he not be startled.

He had expected that Lianhuasheng had a vicious temperament and would be decisive in life and death, but he didn't think that such a perverse behavior would be intolerable.

"Young man, we're all gone, let's go back." The old man packed up his scrolls, calligraphy and paintings, carried them behind his back, turned and left.

Xiuyuan has a lot to ask, but he doesn't know where to ask, and as a monk, he has no position to talk about.Jianghu storytelling, after all, cannot be taken seriously.In the bustling Qianjie Street, there are only a few pedestrians left. Xiuyuan wiped his face, asked the way to Ningbo Mansion, and then walked quickly to Zhejiang.

On the way, he passed by the small town where Xiu Yuan was besieged by Jie Shi and the others last time. Xiu Yuan remembered that he picked up the red fox here, but it disappeared during the chaos. I don't know what happened now.

As the evening approached, he was really hungry, and this place was not in the wilderness, where he could hunt game or catch fish and shrimp. Xiu Yuan saw an inn in front of him, and wanted to ask for some Vegetarian Food, but he was ashamed to ask, and was hesitating. Suddenly, the storekeeper threw a young man out, cursing and saying: "Little bastard, how can there be such a good thing in the world, you eat and drink here for free, scare away my customers, and want me to keep you! Bah, Go away earlier!"

Xiu Yuan took a step forward and caught the young man firmly before he fell down. Just as he was about to argue with the shopkeeper, he saw that the young man was dressed in rags and his face was festered in several places, it was extremely ugly.

No matter how the shopkeeper abused him, the young man didn't fight back. Xiuyuan helped him up, so he didn't even care about the matter of begging for alms.

"Little brother, do you have relatives and friends here?"

The young man shook his head, thought for a while, and said:

"Since you and I have nothing to worry about, why don't we go to Ningbo Mansion together, I see that your face is seriously injured, and it is difficult for ordinary doctors to heal, but at the martial arts conference, there are countless strange people and strange men, so I will heal your injury first , make another plan."
