Section 9 Preparing for a rainy day
"I remember, I guess someone was following us two days ago, those shadowy men in black. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info They should know the fact of the existence of the treasure, so they quietly followed all the way and avoided our sight. But I guess they didn't know the details, so they sneaked outside the room when we checked in to find out more about what we were doing. It was the dark shadow -- I was about to say the dark grid when we saw the black shadow flickering out of the papier-mâché window. He must have listened attentively, and one accidentally knocked over the vase and caught our attention. But luckily, he definitely didn't hear about the dark grid. And in order to arrange the camouflage scene, he also drew a snake to put flowers in the cat's mouth. It's all my carelessness, thinking that the place we are in is geographically remote and there is no martial arts person paying attention. It seems that I was wrong, whether it is a nameless place or a prosperous capital on the rivers and lakes, there are their eyeliner everywhere, and I blame me for being careless, but fortunately, they don't know about the secret grid, this is obvious, otherwise they will definitely open it before us. The man in white squinted his eyes, thought about it seriously, carefully tipped out the clues, and thought about it carefully, and said his opinion.
"So what now? If you don't fight to the death with them, I still don't want to go alone. The senior sister said worriedly.
"Never. They are outnumbered, and they cannot be taken by force at this time, but only by skill. There is no other way but to wait for our next generation to grow up, and then think about the long term. I will definitely find a way to get out, my martial arts are not particularly powerful, but luck is still good, you have to believe me. The man in white smiled lightly.
"It's a pity that you see, our religion is now declining to this point, and no one even wants to be our successor, or just have a purpose, and come prepared, these people are not from the right background, we have to guard against it, in case it is a small work by bad people, we will not give up all our efforts. "The woman in red is delicate and thoughtful.
"Yes, what you said is very reasonable, we must find out their details, but people's hearts are like a sea, it is difficult to judge. The man in white said softly.
"Yes, senior brother, how will you test them in the future?" asked the woman in red.
"It's better for us to adopt a baby from a young age, so that their hearts are pure and have great plasticity in the future. If they practice in such a planned way, their martial arts foundation will be excellent, and they can quickly teach them our lifelong martial arts. The man in white said happily.
"That's a great suggestion, but we've worked hard. After all, we are not young anymore, we are all in our 40s, but now we have to start from the doll, which is really a bit overwhelming. The woman in red said with some trepidation.
"What are you afraid of, if we can revive our sect to its majesty, even if we people are going to the soup and fire, we will definitely not hesitate to do it. Our lives are almost gone, what are we afraid of all these hard work!" Senior Brother couldn't help but be a little angry.
"Senior brother's lesson is timely, for the sake of the future of our gang, even if we are all in the ground, we will definitely not give up. The red-clothed sister said firmly.
"I must let the treasure be used by our gang, revitalize, and revive our Qingyun Gang, now we are not even as good as beggars, it can be said that everyone spurns, hey!" the man in white sighed deeply.
"But when we first arrived in this remote town, we encountered such difficulties. I don't know where the treasure will end up, and I don't know what will happen in the future?" said the woman in red worriedly.
"Yes, you're right. The road ahead will be even more difficult. Our successor will also go to twelve different places across the country to find the contents of the twelve secret compartments, and only after obtaining all these things can we finally know the ultimate location of the treasure and use the obtained key to open the door to the treasure. The man in white said.
"Wow, it's so complicated?" said the woman in red.
"Actually, you know, as I told you earlier, this treasure map is like a puzzle piece, consisting of two separate pieces. It only makes sense when two figures are together, otherwise it's a mess of waste paper. So when the time comes, we'll separate the belts and be safer. And it's not enough to just have a picture, the place shown on the map is only a general location, and the next specific place is finally hidden in the dark grid. There are a total of 12 hidden compartments hidden in 12 places. These are interlocking, and only by ensuring that there are no mistakes in each link, can we finally open the final dark grid, find the key inside, and find the last hidden treasure. The place that is finally indicated is where the real treasure is hidden. But even so, if you find this treasure place, everything is not all right, you need to use the corresponding keys to open the doors, and it is estimated that there will be another sinister journey. The man in white uttered these complicated words in one go.
"However, this old man's thinking is really amazing, and he is also very meticulous, he can't think of others!" the woman in red admired her face. "Yes, this is even more difficult than Dengshu Dao. ”
"Yes, there are so many gangs watching us from behind. Covet this treasure map. Because it's a big piece of fat, everyone can't wait to take a bite of the grease stains. It is estimated that if the news spreads, there are still people from the Xixia Kingdom, the people of the Liao Kingdom, the people of the Dali Kingdom, and foreigners, all of whom are coveting these treasures. They will certainly fight each other, calculate with each other, calculate with each other, and do whatever it takes. The man in white said worriedly, "Therefore, the treasure map must not fall into the hands of the enemy, and must be used to strengthen our sect and revitalize our faction." Let those so-called decent people on the rivers and lakes no longer underestimate us. It is said that every dark grid has a superb book of peerless martial arts. That treasure contains countless rare martial arts masters, and of course, countless gold and silver treasures. You think, if our sect has these treasures and these cheats, it will definitely be able to carry forward and establish itself in the supreme position of martial arts. ”
"Yes, my gang has declined very much during this time, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten, and if you fall behind, you will be looked down upon by other sects. Not only are the membership dues several times that of theirs, but even other sects usually ignore our faction. Every time I went, I didn't have a place that was arranged, and I was reluctant to leave the last place for us. Every time I went, we were asked to leave after paying the dues, and we didn't have a part in making decisions on big and small matters, and I heard that the helper had changed, but we didn't even know what people's names were and what they looked like. It can be seen that people are dismissive of us. Our gang is so undignified. What kind of bullshit Jianghu Alliance, the leader of the deceitful martial arts alliance, is simply blackmail. This is the game of the strong, the sorrow of the weak, and we dare not speak out. But fortunately, after paying the dues, I always mixed up with an orthodox church. It's really not easy to become a famous Orthodox Christian. You see, there are many sects surging in the rivers and lakes now, but they have no money, so they can't join the righteous sect, and they don't want to go to the cult for fear of having a bad reputation, although the cult is exempt from income and teaching fees. You see, in the end, it ended up with two nos. Neither the good nor the evil faction protected them, and they became a nominal sect and were bullied everywhere. Although our gang is ranked first, it is still among the decent. It can be seen that there are still certain benefits to joining the church, so it is still much better than other unknown religions, at least it is still recognized and recognized by all factions in the rivers and lakes. The woman in red said.
"However, we have been in the sect for so long, and we have nothing to do, and until now, I have not even seen the appearance of a new alliance leader. And we don't have a share in anything important, just when we pay the bill, they think of us. Coming again and again to urge money, other things in the alliance will not look for us, let us go freely. The man in white complained.
However, although I paid a lot of money, it still worked well if I thought about it, and I would be respected by the world. Otherwise, it is entirely possible for us to degenerate into a cult or a nameless religion, which will be even more miserable and will have no place for us. In fact, you see that many gangs that are not orthodox are also very good, they are chivalrous, loyal and upright, support justice, and secretly do a lot of good things. But because he didn't pay enough dues, he was buried in the rivers and lakes. Do you think, where will the so-called martial arts orthodox people in these many rivers and lakes recognize them as famous and upright? So in the end, they had to become a nameless sect. As the saying goes, geese have left a voice, and people have left a name. We must establish our gang for future generations, so that our wisdom can leave a good name in history. The man in white said with a raised brow, his eyes flashing with a sharp sword-like light.
"Yes, the head of the senior brother's analysis is the Tao, and the little sister is really admiring the five-body throw. It's a pity that now there are only two of us left in our gang, and the rest of us are dying and leaving, and our sect is about to fall apart, and it is in danger. The woman in red lowered her voice and said sadly.
The man in white was in tears, his eyes were full of tears. Thinking of the gray-haired, kind-eyed master of the past, I still remember it as vividly as yesterday.
"Now we are all taught to inherit the origins, if we don't carry forward our gang, then how can we be worthy of our ancestors, think back then, the scene when the master and his old man were about to return to heaven are still vivid. The man in white said.
"yes, I remember. The junior sister's eyes also glistened with tears.
Together, they recalled the tragic scene before Master's death.
Master's withered hands held our hands tightly, panting for breath, and said, "Feng'er, Yun'er, I'm about to go to immortals, this sect, I didn't expect it to decay like this, I didn't expect it to be destroyed in my hands, it's all my fault, I just want to do good deeds, I don't want to make more money." Go to each faction to walk around more, go around, and mix the top few of the martial arts faction. Hey, the world is going down, and the old decay is powerless, and there is no power to return to the sky. It's really more than enough, but not enough. The old decay returned this time, and there was really no face to see my master, that is, your grandfather, it was such a glorious time back then, and the unstoppable sect actually failed like this. ’
The master struggled to speak, paused, and continued.
"Seeing the wind, the senior brothers in front of you are dead, and if you go, you and Jianyun's junior sister are left, you are all good children, and you can still stick to our teaching like this, and never give up." You must support your own teachings, and you must promise the Master, okay? But you must not do anything unscrupulous. You still have to go the right way, in the right way, you know?' Master was already exhausted when he said this, and his voice became smaller and smaller, more and more around, turning into the buzzing of mosquitoes, and finally only his thin cheeks were shaking, and his pale lips were closed one by one.
Yes, Master, we will do it. The two of them said in a choked voice, crying next to them.
After hearing this, the master squeezed out a smile of satisfaction, and the old head immediately drooped to the side, and the weak holy body collapsed to the side, clearly driving the crane west. It's just that the eyes are still looking at this decaying façade, and they obviously don't blink to death.
'Master, Master, wake up, we can't live without you. They wept together, but they couldn't make a sound.
'Master, go with confidence, the disciples will definitely keep their promises to you, and you will rest in peace under the Nine Springs.' Seeing the wind, he gently helped the master close his eyes, hugged the master's thin body, and walked towards the yellow earth outside the door with the gloomy expression of Jianyun.
Thinking of this scene, Jianfeng couldn't help but clench his fists again.
"Our religion, according to the words of the past, not to say that it is one of the best sects, it is also a well-known hardliner, how many disciples at that time admired, how many people want to enter our sect, how difficult it is to enter our sect, pass five levels and kill six generals, many tests, layers of checks, in order to enter this religion. I remember how hard it was for me to get into the church. Thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, how spirited and proud they were at that time. But now, people don't come in for free food and housing. He said that there is no future in teaching us. It's gray to say the name of our church. We must be strong and strong, and we must make a comeback, and we must not let our ancestors be ashamed. ”
"Yes, we will do what we do. The junior sister nodded vigorously beside her.
"We teach, and the words have decayed so far. It's just the two of us who are older. Sad, really sad, from infinite prosperity to today's bleakness, the road to revival must be completed by us. If it had been smooth sailing for us to retrieve the treasure map, it would have been done a long time ago, but now that we are suddenly in such danger, it is safer to go separately, lest the whole army be destroyed. I have two copies of this map. Come, come and take it, you have a point, and I have a share, so that even if the enemy catches one of us, there is nothing to be done. If we are able to escape, the immediate priority in the future is to do our best to train our future successors. However, we must be incognito, go away from home, and separate is the best policy. It will be fine after eighteen years, and that will be the day when the merit will be fulfilled. The man in white said slowly.
"Senior brother, are we really going to be separated? That's really a long wait, how many eighteen years can there be in life. That's 18 years. Over the years, our brothers and sisters have been in solidarity. I'm really not used to being without you. Senior brother, you must take care of yourself!" Tears glistened in my sister's eyes.
When the master died, the tearful sister was exactly the same as now, her eyes were already red, tears were raining down, and she choked up and said, "Farewell, senior brother, senior sister is still reluctant to give up, senior brother is a brother to him, but also a relative." ”
"Farewell, junior sister. Take care, take care. We must wait for that time to meet. The man said worriedly.
"Well, the only way to do that is to leave the heavy task of reviving the gang to the newcomers. Senior brother, the overall situation is important, I can't meet the enemy with you, I'll go first, you must be very careful, you must live. ”
The woman in red turned back step by step in the tunnel, for fear of missing the opportunity to remember the appearance of the senior brother, this farewell is half a lifetime.
Finally, the man in white said, "Hurry up and run, they have been observing for so long, it is estimated that they will come in soon, if you don't leave, it will be too late." The woman in red quickly slipped away from the secret passage, and the bright red slowly turned into a small red dot until it was gone.
The man in white came back to his senses and returned to reality from his memories: it must be, he must have been followed all the way and overheard, otherwise they would not have been able to find here. If you are more cautious and careful, the great cause of rejuvenation of our faction will be just around the corner, but now it seems that it is really far away.
In retrospect, that night at the guest house, by the way, the cat who knocked over the vase was still holding a flower in his mouth, wasn't it a snake or something, and he was still stupidly stubborn to think that it was in estrus? The fleeting black shadow was so strange? How could a cat cause such a big flickering light and flickering candlelight? The man in white quickly put on shadow puppets and went through these scenes in his mind, and then he suddenly had a sense of enlightenment, and suddenly realized: Oh, it's all my fault, I'm really careless, no wonder Master and his old man often said when he was alive, Feng'er, you are a good child, but you are too careless, too sloppy, this habit is not changed, be careful to invite the disaster of killing. As the saying goes, one day is a teacher, all day long is a father, it is really a son who knows nothing like a father, master, the disciple knows that he is wrong, the disciple is really incompetent, and he is about to succeed, and he can revive our gang, but he did not expect such a peak and turn, so that the disciple was caught off guard and unable to deal with it. Master, Master, why did you go so early, leaving me and my little sister to support our Qingyun Gang, you don't know, how dismal it is, no power, no money, and no power. The brothers and sisters are leaving, dying, and we are forced to pay church fees every day, otherwise we will be beaten into a famous and decent family if we don't pay the bill. We are getting closer and closer to the nameless title. Now there is no one who has joined our door, and there is really no successor. It is estimated that there is no hope of paying the annual fee this year, and there are only a few days left before the deadline. But don't worry, we respect your teachings, don't kill people and goods, don't set fire to robbery, don't steal chickens and dogs, and are also fair and honest in the rivers and lakes. But Master, what's the use of this? Don't you see a lot of decent people doing things behind it for fame and fortune? It would be good if you were alive, you have martial arts in the world, and you will definitely not agree to do this. Master, Master, I miss you so much.
The eyes of the man in white were full of remorse, and he beat his chest with his fist, no, now is not the time to regret, now is the wolf in front and the tiger in the back, you can't go out easily, and you have to delay the time as much as possible, let the junior sister go further, and at the same time find a way to bring the real map out.
The gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, he is really reckless, he almost made a mistake, he must regain his spirits and see how to get rid of the enemy. Positive contact seems to be indispensable, the key is how to make those people in black believe in themselves, and finally get rid of them unexpectedly.
The man in white smiled slightly, and stood there confidently. He let out a long sigh of relief.
