Crown Sword

"Xuan... the Taoist leader of Xuan?" Chao Chen glanced at Gong Yangyue, and quickly stepped across the weeds to relieve him.Gong Yangyue raised her hand expressionlessly, and was about to split the rock to put the person down, but the corpse fell by itself, and fell right at Chao Chen's feet.

Shuangli called "Old Phoenix", and hid behind Cui Tanfeng, not daring to take a second look, but Cui Tanfeng protected the little girl, and did not rush forward. As a doctor, he could almost confirm that she had just glanced at her. It's hopeless: "At least I've been dead for half a stick of incense."

"Xuanzhi Daoist!" Ji Ci burst into tears.

Fang Jing stared blankly at the corpse: "Same as those people down the mountain..."

Chao Chen straightened the corpse first, touched it, and found that there was nothing decent on it, including the letter, and then got up to check near the entrance of the cave, but found no baggage, no murder weapon, not even a trace of a fight. .He turned his head to signal to Gong Yangyue who was still guarding the corpse, and then muttered to himself, "Strange, why is there no sword?"

Fang Jing said: "Then you don't have to ask, I was taken away by the murderer."

"But without a sword, how did he get nailed to the entrance of the cave?" Chao Chen asked back.

Fang Jing choked, but Ji Ci interjected tremblingly: "Could it be that ghost sword flying back and forth?" , got up and drilled into the hole, and other people also helped to search nearby.

Although the entrance of the cave is large, the grotto is not deep, and soon at the end, there are some messy gravel and dry grass inside, like a den of beasts, not to mention swords, and there are no human footprints. step in.

"Really not..." Ji Ci was terrified, and retreated in a panic. He kicked the arm of the corpse with his heel, and he fell to the ground in fright. Hua Ling, don't let him go!"

Gong Yangyue glanced at him and said, "Why are your shoes wet?"

"Ah?" Ji Ci was still in fear, thinking he had stepped on human blood, curled up in fright, and stretched out his hand tremblingly.I touched it but there was no redness, so I put it under the nose and sniffed lightly. There was nothing else but the smell of yellow mud and grass roots. "Why...is it water?"

water?

Gong Yangyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and immediately called everyone: "Don't look any further."

Fang Jing felt awkward when he gave orders: "Oh, what's the best idea? Don't just play tricks on you!"

"Are you short-sighted and far-sighted, or are you ignorant and blind? We came together, ask your little follower if you don't believe me!" Shuang Li retorted anxiously.

"Beyond Mianzhu City, but you guys go first." The more she explained, the more Fang Jing refused to listen, and instead she said with a smirk, "Besides, Taoist priests have high martial arts skills. Except for some people, other people may not be able to do it." The land of Sword Valley will never belong to my sect, you say..."

Chao Chen subconsciously chimed in, with a serious face: "Girl, don't talk nonsense without evidence!"

"Hmph, a nest of snakes and rats! Who knows..."

Chao Chen interrupted sharply: "If I say no, then I won't!"

Among Gong Yangyue's group, only the sharp-tongued girl and the doctor dressed in the doctor's house are worthy of Fang Jing's attention. Others have never paid attention to it. That night at the wine shop, I ran into this Mr. Chao Chen, a weak man, rushing in and out. , I just thought she was caught to serve as a handyman, but now she has a serious face, and she speaks loudly, overwhelming her with momentum, which frightened her.

Not only Fang Jing, but even Shuang Li stared with rounded eyes.

Fang Jing's face was dull, she moved her lips, and wanted to add "what are you", but was scared away by Gong Yangyue's cold eyes, and finally held back.

... The red-clothed swordsman has always been thick-skinned, scolding him is harmless, but if he attacks this Mr. Tsing Yi, the consequences may be much more serious.Fang Jing couldn't help but wonder: What is the relationship between these two people?

Gong Yangyue walked up to Chao Chen, and lightly put her hand on his shoulder, her eyes were brighter than Gongyue in the sky: "It's ice. If it's cold today, if you hold ice, it can be used as a sharp weapon. After death, the body It won't freeze immediately, and the residual temperature will melt into ice, so there is no evidence left."

Fang Jing pricked up her ears, listening to those words, suddenly remembered what she saw in the forest before, and suddenly realized that the body was not a broken sword, but a broken ice crystal, because it was dark at night, the light from the torch was limited, and the man was nailed to the tree again. This makes people suspect that ghosts are making trouble.

Thinking of this, she was very dissatisfied, but she had no choice but to avoid it for the time being, pretending to be trying to search for clues.

After listening to his words, Chao Chen fell into deep thought: Fang Jing was right, the martial arts of Taoist Xuan Zhi are obvious to all, it is not easy to kill him, however, there is no trace of fighting around, it can only show that it is either kung fu Much better than him, but it's a pebble or a sneak attack.

If it is the latter, if you want to kill with one blow, you can only be an acquaintance, and the martial arts are not weak, and the shot is quick, precise and ruthless.

Chao Chen called Gong Yangyue, wanting to tell him the deduction.

But Gong Yangyue waved his hand: "I understand." Then he leaned over and pulled Ji Ci up, and asked casually, "I just heard you call the Taoist Master Xuan, do you know him?"

"I know," Ji Ci scratched his head and smiled innocently, answering every question, "Master Xuan Zhi came to Yunshentai to discuss Taoism before, and he made friends with Mr. Pei in private. Although he is strict, he has a genuine temperament , although we little disciples respect and fear him, we also love to ask him for advice."

"Pei Se?"

"Well," Ji Ci nodded, full of mourning, "Hey, who would have thought that such a thing would happen, it's clear that the way here was fine, and we met once."

Gong Yangyue frowned: "In Chengdu?"

"On the morning when we went to Du'anyan Winery, he gave us a letter." Ji Ci answered honestly.

"Shut up!" Fang Jing was impatient, "What are you talking to him about so much?"

Gong Yangyue glanced at it, and then continued to ask: "Where is the letter?"

It was difficult for Ji Ci to be caught in the middle, and he visited Fang Jing frequently, until the other party gave up hope in him and rolled his eyes, then he lowered his voice and revealed to Gong Yangyue, "Send... back to Sword Valley."

Ram Yue pinched his fingers and calculated.

There were three of them, and Zhou Qingcen was not there, so he must have taken a step ahead with his things. Counting the days, if the light car and the horse never stop, they should all go to the Jiange by now, and they will not be able to catch up.And just now Ji Ci said that Xuanzhi had a good relationship with Pei Sai, the fifth of the seven elders, and he was afraid that the things would end up in this person's hands.

Of course, the premise is that everything goes well, if something goes wrong halfway, I'm afraid that girl will never be able to return to Sword Valley in this life.

Chao Chen was more concerned about the missing baggage: "Is there anything else to explain?"

"No." Ji Ci shook his head.

The hearts of several people suddenly fell into an ice abyss, and they didn't need to think much to know that someone must go along with them, or that the murderer came here for this thing.

Only one step too late.

Ji Ci was still confused like Monk Zhang Er: "Senior Brother Yue, what's the problem?"

"You, and her, leave Mianzhu as soon as possible, and take that man named Zhou with you. You'd better pray that his sister has indeed entered the valley safely," Gongyangyue dropped the words, and called her men to go down the mountain , without looking back, "That's all I said, so I can do it myself."

That uncompromising tone hurt Fang Jing's self-esteem, and she said toughly: "An accident happened to Jiangu's site, and of course people from Jiangu will take over. When will it be the outsider's turn to make trouble!"

"Senior Sister, Brother Yue, after all..."

Gong Yangyue smiled coldly: "You want to die, don't bring others into trouble."

When the people left completely, Fang Jing held the sword, lost her temper and cut down the weeds and bushes at her feet to vent her anger, and kept mumbling: "If Brother Xiahou was still around, he would never talk like this. "Thinking of the old man, she felt sad and lost her vigor. She turned her head to look at the dead body lying on the ground, feeling sad in her heart, touched the goose bumps on her wrist, and called to Ji Ci to go down the mountain.

But he shouted twice, but there was no one behind him to answer. When he looked back, the young man was staring at an old tree next to him in a daze, and after realizing it, he hummed twice: "There seems to be some noise over there."

Fang Jing shivered, and listened with pricked ears: "What's the sound, it's just the night wind!"

"No, really!" Ji Ci shook his head nervously, "Jiangu Pinkao, my hearing is really good, and there are really sounds, si si si si."

Fang Jing took a closer look, pressed his head suddenly, and pushed him out.

Just hearing "Donglong——", the old tree broke in the wind and fell down.Fang Jing brushed aside the knee-high grass and walked forward. The mud and sand rolled under her feet. Only then did she realize that there was a steep slope that was neither high nor low, and the tree was growing right on the edge. See it at a glance.

Most of the tree's fracture is neat and flat, but the bottom is rough and messy. It looks like someone hanged up from below and cut half of the tree. However, at night, the mountain is high and the wind is strong, and it is finally broken after being swayed several times.The sound Ji Ci heard was the noise of grinding.

From this point of view, maybe the murderer came from here. Since the rope is used, there must be no hand and footprints below.

"I'll go and have a look." Fang Jing didn't wait for Ji Ci's response, she slid down the slope and got into the jungle.

Ji Ci had no choice but to wait where he was, and this was a one-night wait. When the sun broke through behind the clouds, he woke up with a start, only to find that no one had returned.Thinking of Gongyangyue's warning, he was so anxious that he wanted to cry, but no one answered after shouting, so he could only grit his teeth and jumped down.

----

In the northwest of Mianzhu City, there is a Zhuangzi full of workshops, most of which are blacksmiths and carpenters.

It is said that in the village near Sword Valley in the past, there were a group of swordsmiths who came here admiringly, trying to use the essence gathered from the spiritual veins of the mountain system to forge famous swords comparable to the pre-Qin Zhanlu, Yuchang, and general Moxie.However, in the decades of cold and heat, there were very few people who became famous, but later they were affected by the Qin and Jin military struggles and were wiped out by the rebellious soldiers.And those who managed to escape the catastrophe in the melee gradually gathered scattered and re-chosen to live together.

As for wooden craftsmen, it is not difficult to understand.The northwest is surrounded by mountains, and there are many trees in the mountains. It is suitable for making some furniture, farm tools, and building some houses and barns.

Gongyangyue Shi Shiran walked inward, left and right along the path, regardless of whether it was being used as a furnace to beat iron or a plane to plan wood, he turned a blind eye and did not look sideways.When he reached the middle boundary of Zhuangzi, he picked up a courtyard and opened the door to enter.

It's a novelty to say, the others are all one-to-one transactions, but this one has two types of work, the left half is stacked with wood, and the other half is erected with water tanks and red furnaces.Chao Chen raised his head and looked along the fence from right to left, but he didn't even see half of the signboard.

Hearing the movement, a man slipped out of the house, yawning as he walked, as if Dongyue hadn't opened, and fell asleep in the house and got dizzy, walking ducks without saying a word, almost bumped his head on Yangyue.

"Guest officer, what do you want?" The waiter folded his arms and shoulders, smiling all over his face.

Ram Yue stretched out a finger: "A car."

"A bullock cart, a horse cart, a cart or a four-wheeled cart?" The man immediately regained his spirits. Instead of talking in the city, those who can find workshops are mostly picky and rich owners. "Cedar wood, Chinese toon, There are everything from red and white pine to chicken-winged oak, and even golden nanmu, which is hard to find for a hundred years, is guaranteed to be fully prepared."

"Nothing," Gongyangyue said indifferently, "only use bad wood to make it."

The man was shocked: "Guest officer, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding? How can this poor wood make things?"

Gongyangyue waved his hand: "Call your boss, he will." After speaking, he called four people and waited against each other leaning on the wood.That man was just a buddy, seeing that there were two crown swords among the five, he thought he was here to provoke, so he went to the backyard to gather people to guard the door, and then came out to invite people in.

Chao Chen was walking in front, but was dragged back by Gong Yangyue: "You walk behind me."

Passing through the main room, one foot has just crossed the threshold, and all the swords, guns, swords and halberds greeted him.It stands to reason that things that can be solved with one move, Gongyangyue Leng just released water, either scratched his clothes, or cut through the knot of the cloud, in short, he was in a "worry".

At this time, someone outside the door was humming a mountain tune, carrying a bamboo basket and a long pole into it.

The guy who was in charge before heard the sound, and immediately rushed over, and explained the matter honestly. He never thought about it, and when the man heard the sound, his mind froze, and he rushed to the backyard: "Don't hit, don't hit!" ! Break it carefully!"

The clerk followed and chimed in: "All the valuables have been removed, don't worry, Master, nothing is broken."

"I'm talking about people, who's talking about things! If he loses a strand of hair, I'm sure I can only eat bran and swallow vegetables next season!" As soon as his head appeared, everyone hurriedly backed away, and Gong Yangyue, who had been "beaten" just now, had a smile in his eyes, and stabbed at him with his sword.

The owner of the workshop sighed, shook the bamboo basket, and raised his hand to swing the bar.

The pole was cut in two, one on the left and the other on the right to use as a two-handed sword. Under the surprised eyes of others, the two hit from the front of the courtyard to the outside of the courtyard, and then back to the roof from the outside of the courtyard.

Gong Yangyue smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous, try to see if your kung fu is rusty."

"I believe you, ghost, every time I run into you, nothing good will happen, sorry, sorry! I didn't read the almanac when I went out today, how could I meet you, the god of plague." Falling up and down, "I'm afraid of being beaten by you, I consciously go to lie on the couch for two days."

"Don't."

Gongyangyue fished him back, and the two fell to the ground.Only then did everyone see clearly that the buddy who was equal to Gongyang Yuedou just now had a mustache on his chin, an aquiline nose, high cheekbones, and looked very capable.

The guy looked blank: "Master, do you know him?"

"In the future, if you hear that you are looking for unworthy wood, you will give it to me..." The owner of the workshop stared at him resentfully, raised his fist, and said viciously.

Gong Yangyue raised her eyebrows: "How?"

The owner of the shop changed his face and smiled with him, and put his hand on the boy's face and slapped him lightly: "...Of course I'm treating me to delicious food and drinks, and I'm not going to make tea." After finishing speaking, he kicked his butt , "Damn it, it's so inconvenient! Ahem, I mean, didn't you bring that little abacus with you?"

"The little abacus is talking about me?" Shuangli stepped on the horse, took out the abacus, and cracked it in his hand, "Just this big cloak, which was once protected by Wu Xingjiang's "Huanhua sword", is not broken. Now your buddy hooked up the stitches, so it’s cheaper if you don’t have a change, and it’s [-] yuan for you.”

"The red robe inside was touched by the young leader taught by Tiandu in southern Yunnan. What is the identity of the young leader, he may be the future boss of Ailao Mountain. Think about how valuable it is. If you do this, it will be worth a thousand dollars. And this trouser fold..."

……

Shuangli put away the rigidity, and spread her hands forward: "Chenghui, it's all hardware."

Then, she suggested to Gongyangyue: "Otherwise, you change the rule that the loser is not allowed to crown the sword. I see that your opponents are all people with names and surnames. Why don't you let them write pens and inscriptions on your clothes, maybe It can fetch a sky-high price, Seventeen, don’t you think so?”

Qiao Min, who was always able to keep his mouth shut, unexpectedly continued for the first time: "I think we can add another Seven Swords Guards." As he spoke, he stood upright and showed his imposing manner.

This is not an overlord, it is clearly a robbery!

"Damn it." Chao Chen was dumbfounded when he saw this, for Gong Yangyue's outfit, it's been so many years, no one wants to give it away for free, and it can be calculated like this.He couldn't help but elbow Cui Tanfeng, "Doctor Cui, how much did you owe him?"

Cui Tanfeng stroked her chin and thought about it seriously: "That's not true, the name of beauty alone is enough to make up for it."

After hearing this, the owner of the workshop was angry and bitter: "Okay, Gongyangyue, it's all right for you to rip me off, and you still want someone to call me ugly?"

"It's too vulgar to talk about money with whom, I'm easy to talk," Gong Yangyue put his hands on his shoulders, pushing people into the room, "If not, you can do me a little favor."

Fangzhu twisted his head and turned back: "Don't look at me like this, I don't sell my art or my body, your beauty is behind." I have to say that everyone who hangs out with Gongyangyue is very attractive.

Gong Yangyue blinked, comparing her fingernails: "It's just a small favor."

Fangzhu said: "Your busyness is not small, let's talk about it."

"Help me get a letter, in Sword Valley, you know I'm inconvenient."

"Who has it?"

The two of them entered the room half-pushed and half-pushed. The waiter brought tea, and just as he was about to put it on the table, he heard his boss curse from behind the screen: "Gongyangyue, fuck me|Your uncle! Let me go to Pei Sai's place to give you a cup of tea." Stealing things, do you know who Pei Sai is?"
