I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

However, Qiu Qianren, the young leader of the Iron Palm Gang, left in a hurry, turned to the corner of the street where no one was around, flew up to the wall with a vertical leap, then raised his dantian, tapped his toes, and floated away like a kite.

Qiu Qianren's lightness skills are excellent, known as "floating on the water", and he is especially good at the method of concealment and tracking.Therefore, even though he performed the jumping technique in Suzhou City, where people come and go, and occasionally the corners of his clothes and hair ends flashed away, he did not attract many people's attention.

After a while, Qiu Qianren landed on an old tree with lush branches.He squatted silently in the canopy of the trees, patiently observing the people in the courtyard not far away.

This is the backyard of a medical center. There are four or five houses in which the apprentices and patients of the medical center live.A man and a woman who were hunted down by Gongsun Hao lived here.

The courtyard was quiet, and everything seemed normal.

Qiu Qianren was not in a hurry to go down to interrogate the man and woman, he squatted on the tree without moving a muscle, while adjusting his breath and internal energy to recharge his energy, while waiting silently.

This wait is more than an hour.

When the sky was completely dark, the candles in several houses came on and went out, and the evening wind gradually picked up, blowing the branches and leaves. Qiu Qianren, who had been resting on the tree with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and through the thick night, he could Staring at a black shadow in the corner.

The black shadow moved very cautiously, stopping several times to check if he was being followed.After Hei Ying felt that the surrounding environment was very safe, he used the lightness skill of Unfeeling Valley "Fu Feng Ruo Liu", and flipped into the back wall of the medical hall lightly and deftly.

Qiu Qianren waited for a while, and after making sure that he would not startle the snake, he flew out from the canopy.He floated directly across the courtyard wall not far away, and stalked behind the black shadow like a ghost, staring at the other's every move.

Hei Ying successfully touched the room where the woman was recuperating, pried open the door, and entered in a flash.

Qiu Qianren stood quietly outside the window, listening carefully.

First, there was a depressing sound of fighting and fighting in the room, and then there was the sound of a woman weeping and begging softly, and then there was an ambiguous sound of rubbing and panting.

After a while, with a long gasp and the man's muffled grunt, the woman got off the bed.She took a few steps towards the window, seemed to take something, and then returned to the position beside the bed.

"This is a ward temporarily vacated by the medical center. The room is full of utensils and decorations from other people's homes. My friend, I only have so many things. Here, they are all here. Take a look, where is there any hidden treasures?" topographic map."

The word "Zangbao" moved Qiu Qianren's ears, and he listened more attentively.

"Yujiao, let's finish this one, and I won't make things difficult for you," the man's deep voice came from the room, "You tell me where the "Nine Yin Manual" is buried, and I will let you and that one go." The little boy surnamed Zeng, let you stay together and fly together, and don't let the people from the Heartless Valley chase you down... You can see clearly what happened during the day, the owner of the valley can't move for the time being, and the wife is a fool. From now on... Who in the valley has the final say, you should know it well."

"Brother Zhao, I'm the one who's sorry for you. You treated me well. I always remember it, and I never dare to forget it."

"Ha, do you still remember my kindness to you? I thought you were full of that poor scholar surnamed Zeng."

"How could I forget Brother Zhao's friendship? From Xiangxi to Suzhou, I almost died at the hands of the valley owner several times. It was Brother Zhao who secretly helped me and saved my life."

"Since you are thinking of me, Yujiao, you can give me the treasure map. I will thank you when I find the martial arts secret book. Yujiao, be good, let's get together and get together, I don't want to leave those The method of interrogating traitors is used on you."

"Brother Zhao, woo... don't force me, I really didn't steal from the owner of the valley, if you don't believe me, search my clothes, here, and here, feel it."

There was another buzzing sound in the house, and it was obvious that the man was looking through the old lover's belongings.

Qiu Qianren outside the house had bright eyes at this moment, as if two fires had been ignited, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of excitement and ambition.

He never expected that the secret that Gongsun Hao tried his best to hide was related to the "Nine Yin Manual"!

As the young leader of the Iron Palm Gang, Qiu Qianren has naturally heard of the reputation of the supreme martial arts secret book "Nine Yin Manual".

Since the disappearance of Huang Chang, who defeated many masters in the world, there have always been many people in the martial arts world looking for his martial arts inheritance.Everyone has vaguely heard of the existence of the "Nine Yin Manual", but nothing important has been discovered.

In recent years, many caring people have given up.They thought to themselves that Huang Chang was probably really disheartened and didn't care whether what he had learned all his life could be passed on, so that he didn't leave any martial arts secrets at all.The rumored "Nine Yin Manual" is probably fabricated by some people, and it is not real at all.

At this time, the man in the house searched the woman's things, but found nothing. The man was disappointed, and his tone became more impatient and vicious.

He pressed a few more questions, but the woman still refused to admit it, and kept making rounds coquettishly and timidly.And the man seemed unable to be completely heartless. Although he said harsh words, he never forced him.

The man and woman were playing tricks back and forth, which made Qiu Qianren very impatient.He didn't have any thoughts of pity and sympathy, seeing the two of them talking and getting entangled, he snorted coldly and appeared directly.

As soon as the ruthless Qiu Qianren made a move, he directly broke the heart of the disciple surnamed Zhao in the Unfeeling Valley. After being shocked, he looked coldly at that cunning woman.

Regardless of the half-undressed style of the other party and my pitiful tears, he stretched out his hand to grab the woman's neck, and said in a vicious voice:

"Confess it clearly, you may still have a life."

"Qiu, Shaoxia Qiu... woo woo... pain..."

"Pain? Huh!"

Half an hour later, Qiu Qianren threw the blood-covered woman onto the cold ground with an unpredictable expression.He stroked the blood on his fingers, as if he was thinking about what other means of torture would make people suffer.

The teeth of the tired woman chattered.She deeply realized that this Qiu Shao gang leader is definitely not Gongsun Hao and his like, any seduce and provocative behavior to win sympathy will have no effect on him, he is a truly cold-hearted person.

Seeing that Qiu Qianren was going to torture her again, the woman couldn't help but shrink back, and her heart was shaken a little.

Qiu Qianren took the other party's reaction into his eyes, smiled slightly, turned and left the room.A moment later, he brought back the woman's lover, kicked him awake, and started a new round of interrogation.

When the moon was sinking and the stars were setting, Qiu Qianren finally got the answer he wanted.

It turned out that Sun Hao, the owner of the Unfeeling Valley, accidentally got a treasure map that marked the hidden location of the "Nine Yin Scriptures".As long as you find the place drawn in the picture, you can get an exquisite and supreme kung fu method, inheriting Huang Chang's martial arts inheritance.

Gongsun Hao was overjoyed, but he also knew very well that this kind of news could not be told to anyone, so he kept his mouth shut.

However, probably because he was too self-satisfied, and maybe there was a bit of color that made him dizzy, Gongsun Hao confided this secret with his beloved lover Yujiao in his arms after being drunk once.

He also shamelessly promised that as long as he got the "Nine Yin Manual" and practiced the exquisite upper-level martial arts above, he would no longer have to worry about his wife's natal family.At that time, he will quit that sick child who can only cry and complain, and marry Yujiao, who is lively and loves to laugh.

When Gongsun Hao promised these things, he said it sincerely, but Yu Jiao scoffed.Taking advantage of Gongsun Hao's drunkenness, she inquired about a lot of details, and secretly wrote down the location where Gongsun Hao hid his things.

Later, Yujiao fell in love with a gentleman surnamed Zeng, and the two decided to stay away from Gongsun Hao after vowing each other, and to be a couple of gods and gods in a place where no one knew them.

Yujiao was about to elope, but for some reason, she remembered Gongsunhao's unusual treasure map, and she became greedy all of a sudden.Therefore, when she left Heartless Valley, she not only took away a lot of gold, silver and jewels, but also took Gongsunhao's treasure map along with her.

Gongsunhao naturally regarded Yujiao's behavior as a great shame, and angrily and anxiously took a weapon and personally chased her down.

At the same time, Gongsun Hao's big apprentice also noticed some clues.

He secretly helped Yujiao and her lover when they were in danger several times, and won a little trust from Yujiao.He followed the clues revealed by Yujiao and Master, and gradually discovered the secret of "Nine Yin Manual".

"Since there are clues to the location of the hidden scriptures, why didn't Valley Master Gongsun look for the "Nine Yin Manuals" instead of keeping a treasure map?"

In order to save her dying lover, Yujiao must answer every question at this time. She endured the pain and explained intermittently:

"The characters on that map, those characters, no, they are not the characters of our Central Plains. I heard from Gu Zhu that it may be Sanskrit, or it may be some rare script. Gu Zhu, Gu Zhu has been studying by himself, he, he I don’t want to ask others for advice, so I have been studying translation by myself.”

Qiu Qianren was stunned, and thought that this explained everything.

"Where is the picture? Where are you hiding it?"

"I, if, if I tell, tell you, will you let me and Zeng Lang go?"

Qiu Qianren smiled and didn't promise anything.

He told Yujiao quietly that if she didn't tell the truth or delayed on purpose, then she and her Zeng Lang would definitely not survive, and they would have to suffer a lot of pain before they died.However, if she explained the ins and outs in detail and made him feel better, he might be able to save his life.

Yujiao couldn't help it, she glanced at her lover's severed finger in pain, and confessed in a weak voice:

"I, I put that treasure map, put it in Master Yuanchen's luggage. Before, just in case...it was made into a letter. If Master Yuanchen saw it, he, his old man Be merciful, and will definitely help me send the letter..."

Qiu Qianren's eyes lit up immediately, she thought she was a treacherous woman.

"When did you put the letter in, did anyone else notice?"

"When you were competing with Master Yuanchen," Yujiao coughed violently, looking at Qiu Qianren with hope in her eyes, "I, I don't think anyone noticed. Qiu Shaoxia, I can help you, really When Master Gu was learning Sanskrit, I also learned it secretly, you, you spare me and Zeng Lang, and we will help you find the place where the books are stored on the map."

Qiu Qianren raised his eyebrows and pondered for a while, as if he was considering Yujiao's proposal.

Seeing this, Yujiao endured the pain all over her body, tried her best to show off her ingenuity in the meeting, and told a lot of news she had inquired about.

When her mouth became dry, Qiu Qianren let out a long sigh:

"You are indeed a smart woman, no wonder you can play around with Brother Hao and his big apprentice."

Having said this, Qiu Qianren felt a killing intent in his heart, but he forcibly pressed it down again.He thought to himself, before finding the map, Yujiao had to be spared.

In order to prevent the clues about the "Nine Yin Manual" from leaking out again, Qiu Qianren did not want to let Yujiao and her lover live in the hospital anymore.After he finished disposing of the corpses of the disciples of Ruinqing Valley, he sent Yujiao and Yujiao to a private house of his own, and sent his confidantes to guard them, so he put them under house arrest.

After solving the follow-up trivial matters, Qiu Qianren ate a full meal at a breakfast stall, and then quickly left Suzhou City, chasing the direction where Pei Xiang and others left.

In the evening of that day, Baituoshan and his group were resting in the inn. After dinner, Bai Jiu came to see Pei Xiang with an urgent letter.

"Ma'am, there is news from Lan Twelve."

Pei Xiang's eyes lit up, she put down the medicine powder she was mixing, and asked cheerfully:

"News from Lan Twelve? So, he found the medicinal material I need?"

Bai Jiu nodded, and was about to elaborate, when Pei Xiang raised her hand to signal her to pause.

Under Bai Jiu's curious eyes, Pei Xiang stood up and opened the window.She looked out, then sprinkled some powder on the windowsill.

"Ma'am, are you guarding against thieves listening and peeping?"

"Well, just in case."

"Don't worry, madam, our guards are all guarding everywhere. And Qi, Master Yuanchen lives in the courtyard next door. He has advanced martial arts and has good ears and eyes. Once Xiaoxiao breaks in, the master will definitely notice."

Pei Xiang smiled and said, "It's always right to be cautious when walking outside. Well, you can continue to report Lan Twelve's progress."

——The guards can guard against ordinary Jianghu people, but once they meet a first-rate master like Qiu Qianren, they are helpless.

Bai Jiu followed his words and continued to report seriously:

"The news from Lan Twelve is that he led people to find the medicinal materials that the eldest lady needs on a small island in the East China Sea. However, that island is quite weird and unusual, and they will get lost every time they go to the island. There are a few medicinal plants that are old enough to grow in the center of the island, they can see them, but they can't pick them."

Pei Xiang's eyebrows twitched: "But have you encountered the five elements and eight trigrams formation?"

"Lan Twelve also suspected this, so they planned to forcibly destroy some rocks and trees on the island to destroy the formation. But on the eve of their attack, a man in Tsing Yi suddenly came out from the other end of the island. Da, um, is younger than the Second Young Master, but has strong martial arts skills and a weird temper. That man doesn't allow Lan Twelve and others to destroy every plant and tree on the island, and he behaves very domineeringly."

"Lan Twelve and the others are not injured, are they?"

Bai Jiu's expression was a bit weird: "It's not that he was injured, but the man in Tsing Yi is good at attacking sounds, and the sound of the flute can confuse people's hearts. Lan Twelve has always been taciturn, but he danced for a while under the control of the man's flute sound. It is said that he almost Jump into the sea."

Hearing this, Pei Xiang was very suspicious that the man in green that Lan Shier met was the famous Huang Yaoshi, and that the small island where the herbs she needed was the future Peach Blossom Island.

"Did Lan Shier tell you, what is that man's last name? How about his martial arts skills? Can you tell which sect he is from?"

Bai Jiu handed Lan Shier's letter to Pei Xiang, and continued:

"The man in Tsing Yi claimed to be Huang Yaoshi, so I didn't say much else. Lan Twelve said that he didn't know the martial arts moves of that Mr. Huang, and it seemed that he had nothing to do with the major sects of the Central Plains."

Pei Xiang couldn't help sighing, he didn't expect that the herb he was looking for actually grew on the site selected by Huang Yaoshi.

——It seems that if you want to get the medicinal materials as soon as possible, you have to spend a lot of thought.

"Is it only on that island? Didn't Lan Twelve search for it on the nearby islands?"

"There are herbs that the lady needs on the nearby islands, but they are not old enough. Only the island where Mr. Huang is located has three herbs that are of the right age."

Pei Xiang pondered for a while, then said helplessly:

"You write back to Lan Twelve and the others, telling them not to offend that Mr. Huang too much, life-saving is the most important thing. Then ask Mr. Huang if he is willing to accept the deal and barter with us."

Bai Jiu nodded, and asked again: "What if the other party just refuses to agree?"

"Then hold on to the other party. After I'm done with the eldest son's business, I'll go to that island in person and meet that bad-tempered Mr. Huang for a while."

"Your subordinates have written it down." Bai Jiu took the order and left.

Pei Xiang read Lan Twelve's letter carefully again, slowly pondering Huang Yaoshi's temper, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, Qiu Qianren, who sneaked in but couldn't get too close, frowned, thinking deeply about the words he heard.

——Looking for...Mr. Huang...Martial arts moves are different from other martial arts...Sea Island...go there in person...

—Mr. Huang?Could it be Huang Chang?So, Mrs. Ouyang has found that map?Do you know that is the clue map left by Huang Chang?

——But, didn’t it mean that the words on it were in Sanskrit?How did she figure out the truth so quickly?Moreover, she seems to have determined the location of the book collection, which is on an island in the East China Sea.

--Sanskrit?By the way, there is an old monk among them. This old monk loves to read Buddhist scriptures, and he may be proficient in Sanskrit.

——The big thing is not good, and the people of Baituo Mountain must not be allowed to find the "Nine Yin Manual" one step ahead of time.Ouyang Feng is already so powerful, if he practices the martial arts in the scriptures again, wouldn't I have to keep lowering him and never have a chance to catch up?

Thinking of this, Qiu Qianren couldn't help clenching his fists, and the face hidden under the black scarf became more and more cold and dark.

Before catching up with Pei Xiang and his party, Qiu Qianren planned to take it slowly.He was worried that the excessive action would lead to shocking the snake, but it aroused the curiosity and vigilance of Pei Xiang and others.

But he didn't expect it, it was only a delay of about two days, the other party not only discovered Yujiao's scheme, but also understood the content on the treasure map, and confirmed some key things.

Qiu Qianren's heart tightened, knowing that there was no longer any delay, he had to seize the "Nine Yin Manual" and hide his tracks before Ouyang Feng came to the Central Plains.Otherwise, it will be a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket.

With a plan in mind, Qiu Qianren stopped procrastinating.He fastened the black cloth covering his face again, walked around the inn, and after silently noting down the route, he returned to the courtyard where Pei Xiang was renting.

He set a fire first, creating a little chaos to attract the attention of the guards of Baituoshan, and then broke into the courtyard where Pei Xiang was located at lightning speed.

Qiu Qianren blasted open the window of the inn with his palm, and flew into the room like a sharp sword. After catching Pei Xiang, he opened the roof and rushed out. When all the guards of Baituoshan couldn't react in time, he quickly dodged leave.

The entire captive process was done in one go, which caught people off guard.

"Bold thief!"

"Chase--"

Just as Qiu Qianren rushed out of the courtyard with Pei Xiang in his arms, Master Yuanchen next door chased him out almost at the same time.

Yuanchen yelled loudly, his whole body swelled with internal energy, and within a few steps, the distance between the two sides was shortened, and he was about to catch up with this captive madman.

However, at this imminent moment, Qiu Qianren not only stopped moving forward rapidly, but suddenly turned around and flew towards a house behind the inn.

The family was just ordinary people, and the young woman who was a new mother was putting her child to sleep, but she didn't expect that disaster would come from the sky.A masked man broke into the house suddenly and snatched her child without a word.

"Who are you? Put the child down!" The young mother was stunned for a moment, and then yelled in horror after recovering.

The masked robber Jie Jie laughed strangely, he wanted to use the child's life to trap the old monk Yuanchen.

Under the panic-stricken eyes of the child's mother, Qiu Qianren raised the infant baby with one hand, and was about to throw the child into the well not far away.But the next moment, the villain's movements froze suddenly, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain from his wrist that went deep into the bone marrow.

Qiu Qianren lowered his head in disbelief, and saw that Mrs. Ouyang, who was held hostage by him, had already untied the acupoints by herself, and used a long and thin silver hairpin to break through his internal force barrier, and directly pierced his tendons.

"You dare!"

Qiu Qianren didn't have time to think about how Pei Xiang, who had no inner strength, managed to hurt his important meridians silently.At this moment, he was startled and angry, and subconsciously threw away the baby in his hand, wanting to check the wound on his wrist.

Pei Xiang shouted urgently: "Master Yuanchen, child!"

With Pei Xiang's stop for a moment, Yuan Chen had already rushed to Qiu Qianren's side. With a wave of his long sleeves, he held the child who was about to fall to the ground in his arms, and successfully saved an innocent child. life.

Seeing this, Pei Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, but no longer hesitated.

She raised her hand slightly, made a sword with her two fingers, and swung a silent, invisible but powerful sword energy, piercing Qiu Qianren's dantian lightly.

The next moment, the ambitious Qiu Qianren wailed, his eyes full of despair.

Pei Xiang turned around lightly, with sword intent all over her body, and at the same time, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
