At sunset, the sky is filled with rays of light, and the setting sun is against the mountains.

The halo shines on the ground, and two horses gallop.

Fu Zhenhong and Chu Liuxiang rode a horse and rushed towards the base of the Beggar Clan's leading gang.

Chu Liuxiang looked at Wuhua, who was slightly faster than her, in front of her, a little absent-minded.At this time, two days have passed since the day when he helped Wuhua to relieve Wuhua in Qian Xiuling's secret room. On that day, after Wuhua woke up, Chu Liuxiang thought that Wuhua would ask something, but Wuhua He didn't ask anything, as if he clearly knew the cause and effect of the matter, he didn't say anything.

Wuhua's expression quickly calmed down, except for the moment of disbelief when she woke up.Chu Liuxiang didn't know what Wuhua was thinking, because at that time, he couldn't see what his real emotions were from Wuhua's calm facial expression.

He was embarrassed, but he pretended to be calm.Still taking into account the relationship between the two, they used silence to expose this matter and maintain each other's decency.

In fact, Chu Liuxiang originally prepared a lot of words, but finally found that she couldn't say a word.If Wuhua didn't ask, he didn't say anything, as if nothing had happened.

But in fact, Chu Liuxiang knew very well in her heart that all this was just a kind of calm to cover up.Thinking of this, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help pursing her lips.

In the final analysis, it was because of Qian Xiuling's indiscriminate methods.Thinking about it now, Chu Liuxiang still feels that the punishment Qian Xiuling received was too light. If Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou hadn't come here with Qian Qingsheng and Mr. Qian later, Chu Liuxiang would definitely not have just crippled Qian Xiuling's martial arts as simple as that.

It doesn't matter if Qian Xiuling's three-legged cat's kung fu is the same, the abolition of kung fu won't affect her at all.After all, Wuhua was too kind. After Qian Yuanwai gave the formula as a gift for apology, he didn't pursue it any further, which was enough to give this philanthropic old man a decent face.

[Xiao Hong, is Chu Liuxiang still thinking about Qian Xiuling? ]

[probably. ]

But soon Chu Liuxiang should not have the mind to think about these things that happened in Tiancang County, because at their current speed, they will be able to reach the general gathering place of the leading gang in more than half an hour.

As the largest gang in martial arts today, the Beggar Gang has branches in various places.Nangong Ling, as the newly appointed leader of the Dragon Gang, is not so leisurely on weekdays, so when Fu Zhenhong and Chu Liuxiang came to the Dragon Gang, Nangong Ling, who couldn't get away for the time being, asked his subordinates to put Fu Zhenhong and Chu Liuxiang together first. people to the study.

This study is not very big, it was remodeled from the original guest room. The leaders of the previous leading gangs all value martial arts over literature, so there is no separate study room, but Nangong Ling is different. Nangong Ling has people who practice martial arts. He also likes the elegant poetry of literati, so after he took office, he rebuilt the study by himself.

There is only one window in the whole study, and there is a sycamore tree directly opposite the window. Behind the sycamore tree is a pool of water in which blooming lotuses grow.

Looking at these lotus flowers, Chu Liuxiang subconsciously thought of Wuhua.

He turned his head slightly and glanced at Wuhua who was standing in front of a bookshelf looking at those books, thinking about whether to say something to break the current silence.In fact, for some reason, after he and Wu Hua came to the Longtou Gang, Chu Liuxiang actually had a bad feeling in his heart, and he couldn't tell what it was, but he just felt something bad.

Fu Zhenhong felt Chu Liuxiang's gaze looking at him, but he didn't pay attention to it. Instead, he picked out a book from the wooden shelf and began to flip through it.

Seeing this, Chu Liuxiang moved her lips slightly, trying to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.Chu Liuxiang found that since he realized that his feelings for Wuhua were not pure brotherhood, he could not continue to be as frank and forthright as before when facing Wuhua.

He began to become cautious, lest his intolerant emotions would cause trouble to Wuhua.He was afraid that after Wu Hua found out about his liking, they wouldn't even be able to be friends.

If Wuhua was an ordinary man, he, Chu Liuxiang, would definitely express his feelings boldly, but Wuhua is a wonderful monk who is so beautiful in the world, a disciple of Buddhism, and even a bright moon in the clouds, almost perfect, so he shouldn't disturb him of.

Chu Liuxiang sighed imperceptibly.

Don't think about it anymore, Chu Liuxiang said to herself in her heart.

Now that he has joined the Longtou Gang, the most important thing is to find out whether the Beggar Gang has anything to do with Mu Liu'er.

Chu Liuxiang estimated the time. The member of the beggar gang who brought him and Wuhua here said that Nangong Ling probably had a stick of incense before he could deal with the matter.Right now, we just have to wait.

When Fu Zhenhong and Chu Liuxiang arrived at the Longtou Gang, the sunset glow in the sky almost disappeared.The door of the study room is closed, and there is only one window in the whole study room. The sky outside the house is getting darker and darker, and the light in the house where only a small candle is lit is getting darker and darker.

Fu Zhenhong, who was standing next to the bookshelf reading books, moved her steps and leaned towards the small candle lamp with the books.

Seeing this, Chu Liuxiang, who was looking at the lotus outside the window but was actually paying attention to Fu Zhenhong from the corner of her eye, walked to the largest candle and prepared to light the wick on it.

However, just after he finished lighting the wick, when he looked away in the brightened study room, he suddenly saw a piece of burnt paper under the tall wooden stand where the candle lamp was placed.

This paper should be the kind of paper specially used for letters.

Chu Liuxiang knelt down and picked up the shredded paper, and gently stroked the gray and black residue on it. After he saw clearly what was written on the paper, his eyes froze, and his lips gradually closed into a cold straight line. .

Although the edges of the shredded paper were scorched black and there were mottled black spots on the paper, Chu Liuxiang still pieced together the somewhat incomplete four characters in the middle.

...Arranging Muliu...

Chu Liuxiang read these words slowly.

arrange……

Muliu?

If the letter is complete, the word "er" should be written under the word "liu".

Chu Liuxiang's eyes darkened a little, this thing appeared in Nangong Ling's study, and the letter was obviously burned, it seems that the matter really has something to do with the beggars' gang.

Could it be Nangong Ling's instruction?

Thinking of this, Chu Liuxiang frowned slightly.He looked at Fu Zhenhong who was still reading, and was about to tell Fu Zhenhong about the discovery of the shredded paper.

However, before Chu Liuxiang could speak, there was a sound of footsteps outside the study.There were two footsteps, and Chu Liuxiang wasn't sure who it was, so he had to give up temporarily and gently held the shredded paper in his palm.

The first person to knock on the door and come in was a member of the beggar gang, who was the guide, and the man who followed the guide was a young-looking monk in a monk's robe.

Judging by the monk's attire, it can be seen that he came from Shaolin.

Wuhua's younger brother?

Just as Chu Liuxiang was thinking, the next second he heard the monk call out to Wuhua as a senior brother.

Fu Zhenhong nodded lightly, looking at the younger brother who walked in front of her with a bright smile, her voice was gentle and elegant: "Zhiwu, why are you here?"

Zhiwu, who was originally very happy and excited, seemed to suddenly think of something after hearing Fu Zhenhong's words, and his head drooped immediately.

But soon, he raised his round pupils again, looked at Fu Zhenhong eagerly, and said pitifully, "Senior Brother Wu Hua, you must help me."

Fu Zhenhong asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Zhiwu touched his bald head, blushed slightly and said embarrassedly: "Brother, I'm actually here to talk about Buddhism."

There is an unwritten rule in Shaolin, that is, at the end of each month, two disciples will be selected to give lectures on Buddhism to those who are invited by Shaolin to study Buddhist scriptures.

This has always been a tradition of Shaolin. This arrangement not only promotes Buddhism and Zen, but also is a kind of experience, allowing Shaolin disciples to gain more insights from teaching Buddhism.

Fu Zhenhong said, "Who are you and this time?"

"It's me and senior brother Zhiyan." Zhiwu complained to Fu Zhenhong about Zhiyan's unreliability, "After I left Shaolin with senior brother Zhiyan yesterday, we were still halfway, and senior brother Zhiyan ran to play, what did you say?" Let me go first, and he will follow after buying something..."

Hearing what Zhiwu said, Fu Zhenhong probably guessed what was going on.

Zhiyan is three years older than Zhiwu. He is very intelligent and alert, with many ideas, but his temperament is a bit like a child. He likes to play with novelty things. He is the most playful one in Shaolin.

Zhiyan leave Zhiwu alone to teach Buddhism, the original two people's work becomes one person, and there will inevitably be a delay in time.In addition, Zhiwu is still young, and his understanding and comprehension of Buddhist Zen is not as comprehensive as that of Zhiyan, so what he just said is helpful, it should be that there are difficulties in some interpretations of Buddhist Zen.

Sure enough, Zhiwu's answer in the next second confirmed Fu Zhenhong's conjecture.

"Brother Wuhua, those people invited this time asked very tricky questions about Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's karma. They are too difficult to deal with. I can't explain it alone." Zhiwu said with a sad face and frowning : "It was originally planned to end tonight, but knowing that Senior Brother Yan is not here, things backfired."

"But fortunately, it is a very coincidence that I met you, Senior Brother Wuhua here." Zhiwu soon became happy again.

Fu Zhenhong said, "How do you know I'm here?"

Zhiwu replied: "The place where I went to lecture on Buddhism with Senior Brother Zhiyan was at Jingxia Lake, one mile south of Longtou Gang. I came here to look for Senior Brother Wuhua when I heard the news that you came to the Longtou Gang."

After finishing speaking, Zhiwu blinked his eyelashes, and said the initial request again: "Senior Brother Wuhua, you must help me."

When Fu Zhenhong heard the words, she didn't agree immediately, but after pondering for a moment, she looked at Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang said, "Wu Hua, you go, staying here is just waiting."

Fu Zhenhong nodded, "I will be back as soon as possible."

After finishing the words, he and Zhiwu walked out of the study room.

Chu Liuxiang glanced at the back of Fu Zhenhong's leaving, and for some reason, that weird bad feeling came back.He suppressed this inexplicable mood, and said to the beggar gang brothers who were still standing there: "Brother, can you give me a pot of wine, it's a bit boring to wait alone."

After sending away the brothers of the beggar gang, only Chu Liuxiang was left in the study.The scorched letter was still in Chu Liuxiang's hand, he glanced at the words on it again, then put it in his sleeve, and began to search the study at the most efficient speed.

Chu Liuxiang wanted to see if he could find some other clues here.But to Chu Liuxiang's disappointment, he searched around carefully, carefully observed every place, and found no abnormalities, let alone any mechanism.

However, in the process, what made Chu Liuxiang a little bit apprehensive was that he found that Nangong Ling liked to collect calligraphy and paintings, and all the calligraphy and paintings collected were from Wuhua's hands.

Chu Liuxiang didn't know if it was because she liked Wuhua, so she unconsciously thought of Nangong Ling's actions in terms of less pure feelings.

Maybe I'm too sensitive.

Chu Liuxiang shook her head, wanting to laugh.

Just then, footsteps sounded.

Chu Liuxiang looked towards the door, and his eyes just met the eyes of Nangong Ling who walked in.Nangong Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly scanned the guest room, and his tone became cold, "You moved my things?" Although it was a questioning sentence, Nangong Ling's tone was affirmative.

The atmosphere became a little condensed at this moment.

Seeing this, Chu Liuxiang didn't intend to beat around the bush, and asked directly, "Is Mu Liu'er in Tiancang County related to you?"

In fact, when she asked this sentence, Chu Liuxiang didn't hope that Nangong Ling was responsible for Mu Liuer's stealing of the jade pendant, because although he and Nangong were not close confidants of Xixi, they were still able to share the wine with each other. Yan Huan's friend.

And what he said was actually somewhat tentative.

But soon, he heard Nangong Ling's answer.

"I ordered it." Nangong Ling replied decisively, without any intention of covering up, and directly chose to tear her face.

Chu Liuxiang felt that things would not be so simple. Although Nangong Ling was the new leader of the Beggar Gang, his martial arts were very good, and even the former director Ci, who passed away, was no match for Nangong Ling, but Nangong Ling's lightness kung fu was not yet capable. Unknowingly sneaking into Shenshui Palace to steal Tianyi Shenshui, Chu Liuxiang felt that there should be someone else behind Nangongling.

Chu Liuxiang wanted to ask some more questions, but Nangong Ling didn't give Chu Liuxiang this chance, "Now you know something you shouldn't know, then I can't let you get out of here safely."

As he said, he quickly pulled out the two daggers in his sleeves, and with a sharp dodge, he suddenly attacked Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang also reacted very quickly, and picked up the stool beside her to block Nangong Ling's attack. With a "pop", the stool shattered. Facing Nangong Ling's fierce attack, Chu Liuxiang had no choice but to give up the conversation and meet the attack.

Nangong Ling knows a lot of moves, and he makes eight kinds of weapon assist moves, such as point tweezers, judge pen, and water thorn, come alive, which can be called a masterpiece in martial arts.

But Chu Liuxiang's lightness skill and instant explosive power were already at their peak, the two of them came and went, Nangong Ling's offensive didn't hurt Chu Liuxiang at all.

Such a situation made Nangong Ling a little anxious. When he accidentally turned around in mid-air, the wooden box he had been carrying with him fell to the ground.

Nangong Ling was startled, and wanted to pick it up in a panic, but Chu Liuxiang's lightness skill was extremely fast, as quick as an afterimage, and picked up the exquisite wooden box that fell on the ground first.

Seeing that the wooden box was picked up by Chu Liuxiang, Nangong Ling turned pale, and wanted to snatch it back. Seeing this, Chu Liuxiang clenched the wooden box in his hand and flew towards the window with light kung fu.His speed was as fast as lightning, Nangong Ling wanted to catch Chu Liuxiang, but he only had time to brush against the corner of Chu Liuxiang's clothes.

Looking at Chu Liuxiang who flew out of the window and disappeared into the night, Nangong Ling's face darkened, and he quickly issued an order to summon his secret agents in the beggar gang to hunt him down with all his strength.

Chu Liuxiang has a flexible figure and superb lightness kung fu. He shuttled through the night, avoiding the men sent by Nangong Ling.After turning a corner and entering a somewhat narrow alleyway, Chu Liuxiang, who confirmed that he would not be discovered by those who were chasing him for the time being, lowered his eyes and looked at the wooden box in his hand.

Chu Liuxiang wanted to open it, but suddenly hesitated when his fingertips touched the lock of the wooden box. At this moment, he felt an inexplicable timidity in his heart.

His intuition told him that the things in this box might be related to the real murderer behind the scenes, and he also had a faint premonition, as if once he opened this wooden box, everything would change drastically.

Together with Wuhua all the way, from Shenshui Palace to Tiancang County, and from Tiancang County to Longtou Gang, he tracked down the real culprit who stole Tianyi Shenshui all the way. There was only one step away, and he shouldn't hesitate.

Chu Liuxiang said something to himself, he definitely couldn't give up opening the wooden box just because of the unexplainable weird mood in his heart at the moment.

Finally, Chu Liuxiang took a deep breath, unlocked the wooden box, and opened it.Inside the wooden box were thinly rolled letters and notes.

Chu Liuxiang took out one of them, untied the thin thread used to fix it in the middle, and as he opened the rolled note bit by bit, what was written on the note gradually appeared in front of Chu Liuxiang's eyes.

With the help of the moonlight, Chu Liuxiang saw clearly the contents above.

On the top row, there are these dozen words——

At the Lantern Festival, Chu Liuxiang arranged for someone to steal his jade pendant.

Chu Liuxiang didn't read the rest of the words, probably because the person who wrote the note expressed some simple and shortened concern for the recipient, Nangong Ling.

Chu Liuxiang's eyes were fixed on the line of words that mentioned his name, his whole body seemed to be filled with cold lead, and his heart felt like someone had stabbed a big hole with a knife. The cold wind eroded him, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Chu Liuxiang is too familiar with the handwriting on this note. These words are very beautiful, each stroke is smooth and elegant, with strong strokes, revealing the beauty of clear and cool ink.

This kind of unique elegance, in today's world, there is only one person whose handwriting can reach this level, and this person is the Seven Wonderful Monks of Shaolin——Wu Hua.
