Returning to you in the depths of the white clouds

After breakfast, shopkeeper Lu asked his staff to bring over the topographic diagram of the valley.Gu Linfeng didn't know where he went, so Xu Yuqing simply occupied the couch by himself and spread out the topographic map to study.

The terrain of the valley is not too complicated, but it is gourd-shaped, and there is only one entrance and exit. It may take a lot of time to get out.

As for the treasury of the five sages with many traps—Xu Yuqing was really not too worried.

After all, they can also be regarded as the descendants of the Five Sages.

He walked to the bed, and took out half a thin book from inside his close-fitting robe.The book has no cover, and the pages are old, which looks rather inconspicuous.But the content in it is exactly what countless people in the rivers and lakes dream of—this is half of the volume "Organ" in the legendary "Five Sages".

Gu Linfeng also has half of such old books, which are "Medical Skills" in the "Five Sages".

At that time, his master and Gu Linfeng's master, by chance, rescued the seriously injured Wu Sheng himself, and the Wu Sheng gave back the two half of the books in return, and taught them some unique martial arts.Their master was nearly middle-aged at the time, and it was absolutely impossible to learn "Organs" and "Medical Skills" from scratch. They only learned martial arts moves. These two books have been kept and given to the two apprentices to study since childhood.

It can be said that their mechanical skills and medical skills are inherited from the Five Sages.

Xu Yuqing had heard this story since he was a child, so he was naturally yearning for the Five Sages. Now that he has the opportunity to visit his treasure house to find out, it can be said that it is absolutely not to be missed.

But as he got older, he had more and more doubts about this story.

#VALUE! According to the tales in Jianghu Storybook, Wu Sheng was quite deviant, and because he helped a friend of a cult to offend many aristocratic sects, he was half-hidden in the Jianghu after he was only middle-aged, and he died anywhere. No one knows, and there is no trace of the "Five Sacred Books" and treasures left behind.According to Master's description, the time when they rescued Wu Sheng was already the time when Wu Sheng had almost disappeared from the world.And although they rescued the five saints at that time, the serious injuries were not cured.Although the master never made it clear, Xu Yuqing speculated that at that time, the five sages probably also knew that they would not be alive soon, so they would give the "Mechanism" and "Medical Skills" to others, in order to pass them on to the world.Otherwise, if it is for repayment, passing on their martial arts is already an excellent reward, and "Organs" and "Medical Skills" are not practical for the two of them.But since there is an intention to pass on the books to the world, why only half of them are passed on?

The five saints who are rumored to be super skilled, who can hurt him so far?If it is a one-on-one duel with masters, there is almost no one in the world who can compete with him; if he is besieged by a sect he offended before, it is impossible for people in the world not to know about such a thing.

But the fact that the master and uncle rescued the five saints is extremely secretive.It seemed that no one else knew about the fact that the Five Sages had appeared in the rivers and lakes and were seriously injured, except for them.For many years, the master has asked them to keep this secret, not to mention it to outsiders, and not to reveal the origin of their own abilities to the outside world.This is by no means as simple as the old man said "you should keep a low profile when walking in the rivers and lakes".

What's more, the death of master and uncle... Xu Yuqing's fingers tightened on the pages of the book when he thought of this.

The master never mentioned any great enemies between him and his uncle, and they have always been in a semi-retired state, why did they all suffer violent deaths?He was too young when the uncle died, and the master didn't mention it later, and he never knew the reason; when the master left, he was completely kept in the dark by Gu Linfeng.After years of investigation, he finally got a general idea.

They should all be killed by the same group of people, and these people are inextricably linked with the "Five Sages".

And Gu Linfeng - this person knew much more than him, but he was unwilling to tell him anything.

The more he thought about these things, the angrier he became.Coincidentally, the familiar footsteps were just outside the door, and then the door creaked open——

Xu Yuqing didn't turn her head back, she poked her fingers into the pages of the book, and then gave it back——

Hearing the sound of the breaking wind passing by quickly, as soon as Gu Linfeng entered the door, a flash of light reflecting the sun flashed in front of his eyes, making it hard to open his eyes.His body reacted faster than his mind and eyes. Although his feet didn't move, his upper body leaned slightly towards the door at the first moment--in the blink of an eye, he felt Ling Lie's murderous aura piercing his cheeks, nailing him directly. side door panel.

There was a tiny cut on the cheek, and a thin line of blood was exposed, which hurt slightly, but Gu Linfeng ignored it and turned his head to look at the thin blade on the door.The index finger is long and an inch or so wide, and the blade body is extremely thin, almost transparent under the reflection of sunlight, making it difficult to guard against.Because the strength was not absorbed, it was still trembling slightly on the door panel at this time, humming and humming.Gu Linfeng raised his hand to take it off, then squinted at the sun, and his tone was a little approving: "The hidden weapon is good. Jiang Fang's craftsmanship?"

Of course, Xu Yuqing didn't really intend to kill him, but seeing his calm appearance made him even more displeased.He walked over and snatched the thin blade, put it back in the book and put it in his arms, turned around and left without saying a word.

But Gu Linfeng wanted to provoke from behind: "You are willing to use the hidden weapon Jiang Fang made with you. It seems that you really have no intention of talking to Bai Wuzai."

Xu Yu Qingfeng turned around and pinched his collar: "You want to fight, don't you?!"

Gu Linfeng took two steps back under his pressure, didn't fight back, and his expression didn't seem to be disturbed, he just looked down at him seriously for a while, and said slowly: "I'm looking at you, I seem to want to hit you."

For some reason, there was a bit of softness in the voice of these words, which eased the suffocation in Xu Yuqing's chest, and eased his tone a lot: "I mean to fuck you, you don't fight back at all." After finishing speaking, he Yi let go and let go of the other party's collar, and warned: "Anyway, this is also Bai Er's territory, so don't say such things behind people's backs."

"I'll say the same when he's here." Unsurprisingly, Gu Linfeng replied.

Xu Yuqing couldn't help hissing after hearing this: "Do you have any..."

"Hey! Both of you are here! I have some news!" Not far away, the chubby shopkeeper Lu walked quickly and interrupted them loudly.

The news brought by shopkeeper Lu is closely related to the current situation of the undercurrent in Shengzhou—now people from the rivers and lakes gather in Shengzhou City, everyone covets the treasure house, but few dare to act. The biggest obstacle is guarding that passage officers and soldiers.In troubled times, "Xiamen using martial arts to violate the ban" responds to the situation and takes the hero's road; in peaceful times, people in the Jianghu are unwilling to confront the court unless necessary.

But at this moment, Chen Jiong, the commander-in-chief of Shengzhou City, suddenly received an order to report to Beijing within a month.As soon as the giant Buddha moves, it means that the guarded passage is about to loosen.

After listening to Shopkeeper Lu's speech, Xu Yuqing habitually flicked the folding fan to think about the inside story, feeling a little strange.Chen Jiong is a great Buddha, and he is strict in running the army. He has been guarding the southwestern border for several years, which can be regarded as quite effective, but his official career has been a little bumpy.Many of the high-ranking generals who were born in the imperial guards in Beijing in the early years were transferred to the hinterland of Gyeonggi. Only he was still struggling with his qualifications and military achievements at the border, isolated from the vision of his superiors, and always lacked a chance to be reused.How come he was suddenly called back to Beijing to report on his work at such a sensitive time?

"Strange." Xu Yuqing muttered naturally after thinking about the matter.

Gu Linfeng glanced at him, as if he understood exactly what he was thinking: "It's not surprising. In the days since the news was released, few people dared to go in, and they couldn't withdraw the guards for nothing. There must be a reason."

Xu Yuqing nodded clearly: "So it's still the principle of lenient entry and strict exit?"

"Maybe." Gu Linfeng said cautiously.

Shopkeeper Lu listened from the sidelines, struggling to keep up with the two of them: "Wait, what do you mean, going to Beijing to report on work may be a bureau? It's the same as the previous principle of lenient entry and strict exit, coaxing people first Let's go in and talk? Do they need to go to such great lengths for this?"

"It's not necessarily fake, but the timing is too coincidental." Xu Yuqing added: "It is said that the treasure house of the five sages is as rich as an enemy. Even if it is just a legend, the people in the government even opened the mouth of the treasure house. Wouldn't it be better to keep it secret and swallow it?" , how did everyone know about it? It can only be that this treasury is too evil. They hope to attract many masters of the rivers and lakes to volunteer to go in and open the way. Those who can't get in and out are fine. Wouldn't it be easier if the sparrow was behind?"

Gu Linfeng nodded lightly: "Besides, Chen Jiong has always been known for his ability to manage the army. If he really lives up to his name, whether he leaves or not will not affect the guarding of a mere mountain road. When the news is released, let loose guard the entrance of the road. Or those who have no guts.”

Shopkeeper Lu understood a lot this time: "So, whether he goes or not doesn't make much difference?"

Xu Yuqing's folding fan gently tapped the table: "I think it's an opportunity." After thinking for a while, he asked: "The shopkeeper, this Mr. Chen, when will he leave?"

"I heard that it will be three days later." Shopkeeper Lu's "heard" is always [-]% to [-]% sure.

"Three days..." Xu Yuqing said thoughtfully, "I'm in a hurry, so hurry up."

But Gu Linfeng took the words: "Three days is not enough."

Xu Yuqing rolled his eyes at him: "Will love go or not?"

The two of them said something to each other, and shopkeeper Lu was a little confused: "You two...why can't I understand?"

Xu Yuqing had no choice but to explain with a merciful sigh: "I want to - do the opposite."
