Extra eight: The gambling game of the jade master (5)
twenty
Master Yu arrived at Huashan five days slower than Ying Feiyang.
The weather is very hot, along the way, the jade master took a sedan chair, sunset, sunrise and rest, and walked slowly. It's not so much about going to Huashan to do business, it's better to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Behind his sedan chair, there were at least six or seven tails, all of whom were good at tracking.
Master Yu knew these tails very well. Knowing what organization they belong to, and knowing what they are tracking them for, and even how many people they have changed along the way, how many times they have fought each other, and who wins and who loses. It's also interesting that the person being tracked knows so much about the stalker's situation.
It is naturally not difficult to get rid of them. However, Master Jade did not do this. People in the rivers and lakes, whether they are participating in gangs or running alone for thousands of miles, it is not easy to eat. Master Yu didn't want these people to go back and be punished. Anyway, it won't hurt you to let them follow. Sometimes, Master Yu will also play some tricks to increase the difficulty of tracking. If it is too easy for the stalker, it will not fit the identity of Master Yu. The people who sent them would not believe that Master Yu had become an idiot overnight.
On July 20, Master Yu finally arrived in the small town at the foot of Huashan Mountain.
At this time, Huashan had already finished the song and dispersed, and most of the people who came to see the lively Jianghu left with disappointment and scolding, and those who had already bet on it should hurry to the bureau to get the silver back. Only the people of "Heavenly Dao Hall" and "Genji" have not left yet. They need to wait for an exact result. Shu Hongbo didn't leave, because Ying Feiyang's injury was not completely stable, and Ying Muye asked him to stay for two more days.
Master Yu was not in a hurry to go up the mountain to meet everyone, so he actually found an inn and lived in it comfortably. He had just taken a shower and lay down on the bamboo chair, ready to order something to eat, when suddenly he smelled a special fragrance. For this fragrance, jade, gold and silver are no strangers, it is braised rabbit meat. Moreover, Master Yu also knows that there is only one person who can make braised rabbit meat with this fragrance.
The scent comes from the room next door.
In the next room, there was a large table with a huge casserole on it, full of braised rabbit meat bubbling and sizzling. Don't talk about eating, just looking at it will make people's hearts flutter.
The door was not bolted, and Master Yu almost rushed in. He wasn't so uneducated, and he knew the truth of knocking on someone's room before entering it. But the exception is to enter Ying Muye's room, because Ying Muye enters his room like this.
Among the people that Master Yu is familiar with, only Ying Muye can make braised rabbit meat a delicious taste that is unparalleled in the world. Of course, Ying Muye is not a person who often goes to the kitchen, in fact, he can only cook the flavor of braised rabbit meat at all.
Master Yu once asked him why he always had trouble with rabbits. Ying Muye's answer is: eagles always have to eat rabbits.
Now, Ying Muye is sitting across the table, with a large jar of flower carving wine in front of him. Rabbit meat and Huadiao wine have always been Ying Muye's two hobbies. If his guests want to eat the rabbit meat he roasted, they must accompany him to drink Huadiao wine.
Of course Master Yu understands this rule. He didn't have time to say hello to Ying Muye, he first closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then drank three bowls of wine in a row, and shouted: "Good wine!"
Ying Muye laughed, accompanied him to dry three bowls of wine and eat three pieces of meat.
Master Yu chewed braised rabbit meat in his mouth, let the red and glamorous oil juice flow down the corners of his mouth, and said vaguely: "Your ability to roast meat is getting higher and higher." β
"It's a habit to try to do the best you can when you do something. β
"Good habits!" Master Yu slapped the table, drank a big bowl of wine, and ate a large piece of meat.
"But this time, it has nothing to do with my craftsmanship, I added some special condiments to the meat. β
"What kind of special law?"
"After eating this specially fed rabbit meat, you will be tired, weak and weak, and turn into a little worm. β
Master Yu continued to drink a lot of wine, eating large pieces of meat, and asked while eating, "When did you learn to hurt people with secret arrows?"
"Why do you need to learn such a thing as a hidden arrow hurting people? It's just that I didn't bother to do that before. β
"Then why are you doing it now?"
"Because you've beaten me four times in a row, I can't afford to lose. Ying Muye laughed loudly, his laughter was still very hearty, "Anyway, you have already died once, what does it matter if you die one more time?"
"That's right. Master Yu smiled, "So how long will it take for me to become a small worm after eating this special condiment?"
"If you're fast enough, you'll have time to finish this pot of meat. β
Yu Jinyin laughed: "Wonderful! Seeing such delicious meat but not being able to eat it is even worse than death." β
Ying Muye really didn't deceive people, and Master Yu really waited until he ate a pot of meat before he became a small worm. Then the little insect was stuffed into a tightly sealed black velvet sedan chair, and was personally escorted out of the inn by Ying Muye.
As soon as Ying Muye and his entourage left the small city, they met Shu Hongbo and Fan Qingshan, and behind Fan Qingshan, there were dozens of selected "Tiandaotang" masters, who were magnificent.
"Wonderful brushwork" Fan Qingshan has always been gentle and elegant, and his actions have never been so public. Today, it is simply a posture that is ready to fight with others at any time.
Ying Muye was a little surprised, and arched his hand: "Why did Mr. Shu leave in such a hurry?"
Shu Hongbo smiled: "Ling Nephew's injury is stable, take good care of it, and with his foundation, he will be healed in less than three months." The old decay has nothing to do here. β
"Mr. Lao bothered, and he will repay him later. β
"The same is the same as the martial arts, the third master doesn't have to be polite. β
Ying Muye nodded and turned to Fan Qingshan: "Where is Fan Miaobi going?"
Fan Qingshan said: "Go home." Drop by Shu Weng for a ride. β
"Good. Don't leave it at that, there will be a period later. β
The two teams passed by. Shu Hongbo suddenly grabbed the reins and asked, "Third Master Ying, who is in the sedan chair?"
Ying Muye's body straightened up suddenly, and he said slowly: "It's Ying's inner relative." β
Shu Hongbo smiled: "I didn't expect that the third master's inner family was also as bold as the third master. β
Ying Muye didn't turn around, and said lightly: "What does Mr. Shu mean by this?"
"Nothing, just slightly weird. The people in the sedan chair seem to have just drunk a lot of wine, and it seems that they are still thirty years old. And judging from the bending of the car, this person weighed at least one hundred and forty pounds. So it's a bit strange to be old, such a person, if he is a friend of the third master, then he should ride with the third master to be courteous. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the third master's inner family. β
Ying Muye laughed and turned around: "Mr. Shu really deserves to be a 'think tank', and sure enough, nothing can escape your eyes." If I say that there is a woman in the sedan chair, and she happens to bring two large jars of flower carving wine to Ying, I don't know if Mr. believes it?"
Shu Hongbo smiled: "No matter who is in the sedan chair, it is the third master's private matter, it doesn't matter if the old man doesn't believe it." Mr. Fan, do you say?"
Fan Qingshan said lightly: "If it is really the family of Third Master Ying, it is naturally so." However, how can I feel that the people in the sedan chair are familiar with me, as if they are old friends for many years?"
Ying Muye smiled: "Who does Fan Miaobi think is in the sedan chair?"
Fan Qingshan looked directly at Ying Muye and said word for word: "Jade, gold and silver!"
As soon as these three words came out, only a series of "poo" sounds were heard, and the masters of "Tiandaotang" and "Yuanji" came out of their sheaths one after another, and they were tense for a while!
Ying Muye laughed, as if he was very proud.
"Master Yu, you lost. As I said a long time ago, such a trick can't be hidden from Shu Duozhi. How's that now?"
In the sedan chair, Master Yu yawned and said lazily: "If you lose, you lose, everyone loses sometimes." Who would have expected Shu Duozhi to be so keen this time? A few days ago, I was lying in a coffin, a good and dignified person, but he couldn't detect it. β
Shu Hongbo's face became extremely ugly in an instant.
So what do you think about this?
Still on the mountainside of Huashan, in the big house of the "Tiandao Hall", Yu Jinyin, Fan Qingshan, Ying Muye, Yan Siye, and Shu Hongbo sat together to discuss the ins and outs of this matter.
"Before going to Miaojiang, we discussed. Master Yu said.
Ying Muye snorted: "Who are you?"
"I, Fan Miaobi, Yan Siye, and Mr. Fuer. "We found that recently, our business has been secretly robbed by others for some reason, and some very reliable personnel have also disappeared one after another for some reason. So this gamble was designed, and the bet was deliberately advertised to a large extent, creating a posture that no one could afford to lose. β
In this way, the opponent in the shadows will think that this is a good opportunity to provoke the "Genji" and "Tiandaotang" to fight.
Shu Hongbo suddenly asked, "Why did you take the initiative to find Zhao Tianba?"
"Because he's suspicious. β
"I want to hear about it. β
"This old ghost in a green robe, one is not an official, the second is not a businessman, the third is not a robber, and the fourth is not a bodyguard, he has rarely done anything else in his life except killing people, but it seems that there is always endless money to spend, and there must be a very rich organization behind him to support him. "Jade Gold and Silver Dao," and I have carefully studied his swordsmanship, and found that there are traces of 'Thunderbolt Thunder' in it. Therefore, we asked Yan Siye to find him. β
Yan Siye said with a smile: "Friends on the rivers and lakes are looking for Mr. Zhao to do things on weekdays, but he always pushes back. As soon as I found him, he agreed without saying a word, which was surprisingly refreshing. β
Fan Qingshan continued: "Later, Young Master Shu and Miss Lin investigated this matter, and it was also unexpectedly smooth. Because Zhao Tianba wanted Miss Lin to know earlier that it was 'Yuan Ji' who harmed Master Yu, so there was a duel in Huashan on July 15. β
Ying Muye had been listening patiently, and finally couldn't help jumping up when he heard this, and said to Yan Siye angrily: "Fourth, why are you hiding it from me?"
Before Fourth Master Yan could answer, Yu Jinyin had already preemptively said, "Because we need you to act in this play." Honestly, you're not a good showman. If you know the truth in advance, you must be very awkward in acting, and it is easy for people to see the flaws. So not only do you not know the truth, but Qiao'er also doesn't know either. β
"So you let me drink poison in Huashan?"
Fan Qingshan smiled and said, "Knowing that it is acting, how can you let the two of you really drink the poison?"
Despite this, thinking about being treated as a fool, Ying Sanye was always angry, and said angrily: "So, what did we get from working hard to act on this play?"
Master Jade said, "We at least know that the Demon Sect has made a comeback. Moreover, we already know that Master Shen Xing is the 'Dharma Protector Heavenly King', Zhao Tianba is the 'Lone Peak Heavenly King', and Tang Xing is the 'Erotic Heavenly King'......"
"According to legend, the Demon Sect has four heavenly kings, but what about another?"
"There is another, and most important one, called the 'King of Wisdom'. β
Hearing the word "wisdom", everyone unconsciously looked at Shu Hongbo.
Master Yu said: "Shu Weng, isn't that the case?"
"Yes. Shu Hongbo was very calm, "The old man has something to ask Master Yu for. β
"Don't dare. Please advise Shu Weng. β
"How could you suspect me?"
Yu Jinyin smiled slightly: "Actually, I already said it just now." When I lie in the coffin and pretend to be dead, I can hide it from others, but I can't hide it from you. β
The meaning of this sentence is that since you have been deceited, you have a problem. You did it on purpose.
"Of course, we are still a little unsure, so we arranged the play just now. β
Ying Muye hid a handful of jade, gold and silver in a sedan chair, Shu Hongbo coincidentally went down the mountain with Fan Qingshan, and coincidentally met Ying Muye outside the small city, and coincidentally exposed Ying Muye's conspiracy to "assassinate" jade, gold and silver. There is only one purpose for so many coincidences - to continue to provoke the "Tiandao Hall" and "Yuanji" to fight.
"Wisdom Shu Hongbo, wonderful pen Fan Qingshan. β
Fan Qingshan looked at his old friend, with a very painful look in his eyes, and sighed.
"I'm not the 'King of Wisdom'!"
"What did you say?"
Shu Hongbo looked at Fan Qingshan, with deep pain and helplessness hidden in his eyes, and said word by word: "I am not the 'Wisdom Heavenly King'!"
Ying Muye couldn't help but blurt out: "You're not, so who is?"
twenty-one
"I am the King of Wisdom. Shu Wuzheng said calmly to Yu Jinyin.
The conversation between them takes place in a small delicate garden on a sunset evening.
Shu Wuzheng sat at a small marble table with fresh fruits and a pot of freshly brewed oolong tea. Xiang Yang leaned on the back of his wheelchair with a smile on his face. She looked much more mature, no longer as naΓ―ve and ignorant as she used to be, but she still a little mischievously put her soft little hands into the back of Shu Wuzheng's neck from time to time to tickle.
Shu Wuzheng smiled helplessly, his smile was full of happiness and love.
"I was born with a strange disease that prevented me from moving anywhere but my head. My father said that almost all the bones in my body were soft. β
Yu Jinyin sighed: "Ling Zun is proficient in medicine, and there must be a good prescription for it." β
"There are some strange diseases that are born with non-medicinal stones. My father did his best, but he only saved my life, and it didn't help my condition at all. And by the time I was five or six years old, it was getting harder and harder for the drugs to work for me. At that time, I was asserted that I would not live to be ten years old. β
"And then, what kind of elixir was used?"
"It's not medicine, it's magic!"
"Magic skill?" Yu Jinyin was moved.
"Yes. One of the nine major apologetic skills of this sect, the Heavenly Demon Possession Dafa. Speaking of this, a trace of fear suddenly flashed on Shu Wuzheng's face, which had always been very calm, "On the day of my seventh birthday, a friend of my father's took me away. He said that I am suffering from this disease, and that only the Heavenly Demon Possession Dafa in the world today can save my life. From that time on, I would soak in the potion for six hours a day, taking a medicinal bath and practicing until I fainted. Then Master will fish me out and soak me in when I wake up......"
"Every day?"
"Yes. β
Yu Jinyin's eyes also showed fear. He couldn't imagine what a painful ordeal it was. However, he immediately smiled and said, "It seems that the magic skill is very effective, and your master did not lie to you." β
Shu Wuzheng also smiled: "Yes, so I'm still alive now." β
Yu Jinyin said: "Since then, you have entered the sect?"
Shu Wuzhi said: "No." Because when Master took me away, my father told him that he could not use medical treatment as an exchange condition for joining the church. β
"But you still got into the church?"
"Because this is my Master's last wish. Shu Wu said, "At that time, the people in the sect were disheartened, and the sect leader was young, if it wasn't for my master's efforts to maintain it, it would have fallen apart a long time ago." β
Yujin Yin said: "As far as I know, the status of the four heavenly kings of your sect is equal, and the 'Wisdom Heavenly King' does not have the right to control the other three. β
"That's right. However, at the beginning, the old sect leader handed over all the information to my master to manage, and there were many secrets that could restrain these people, so everyone did not dare to act rashly. However, as time passes, many of the secrets that were fatal in the first place have become insignificant. Especially Zhao Tianba, he is the oldest in the sect, his martial arts are outstanding, and his power is very great, since those fatal secrets have become insignificant, in fact, only the sect leader is left alone. β
Yu Jinyin was slightly surprised: "Xiao Yu?"
Shu Wuzheng smiled: "To be exact, everyone is afraid of the old sect leader. Although Xiao Yu has already been spoiled by them, no one knows if the old sect master's peerless magic skills have been passed on to him......" As soon as he talked about the old sect master's peerless magic skills, even Shu Wuzheng, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but show a look of fear, and paused before continuing: "So, they have been looking for opportunities to tempt. As soon as the conclusion was reached, there was an immediate upheaval within the church. β
Yu Jinyin smiled: "With all due respect, I'm afraid this conclusion has already been reached." β
Shu Wuzheng said lightly: "Yes." But by this time it was too late. Those who want to know the answer have been duly punished. β
Among the four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Sect, Tang Xing was dead, and Zhao Tianba, who had always wanted to replace the sect leader, was defeated by Yu Jinyin and collapsed. Master Shenxing is dedicated to protecting Xiaoyu's safety and has no ambitions. The power in the religion is still in the hands of the Wise King.
Therefore, in this plan, "Tiandaotang" and "Yuanji" are both winners, and the Demon Sect is also a winner. With the help of external forces, Shu Wuzheng eradicated the dissidents in the sect in one fell swoop, causing the scattered Demon Sect to begin to condense into a whole again.
Yu Jinyin suddenly said: "Actually, you have always wanted to know this answer, right?"
"Not bad. Shu Wuzheng did not hide it, "I can't give the lives of such a big sect and so many people to a gentleman who only knows how to sound and lust." β
"Then what are you going to do with Xiao Yu now?"
"Dispose?" Shu Wuzheng was slightly surprised, "How could I dispose of him?" he is the sect leader. He was, is, and will continue to be the head of this religion. β
A leader who just needs to eat, drink, and be merry.
Yu Jinyin sighed, as if he was a little envious: "Speaking of which, he is probably the most relaxed sect leader in the history of your sect." β
Shu Wuzheng also sighed: "Wealth and Fortune are determined, probably that's what it means." β
The evening breeze came slowly, blowing Xiang Yang's long hair, touching the end of Shu Wuzheng's nose, making him can't help but sneeze and Xiang Yang giggled. While they were talking, Xiang Yang had been obediently leaning close to Shu Wuzheng's side, looking at him with great admiration, and did not interject to say a word.
Master Yu smiled: "It seems that I can let Xiangyang stay here with peace of mind." β
"Yes. Shu Wuzheng stroked his sunny hair, and the corners of his mouth contained infinite love, "Actually, I've been looking for someone who really likes me." For so many years, I was about to lose heart, until Xiangyang appeared. β
Master Yu can fully understand the meaning of this sentence. Although Shu Wuzheng is disabled, with his status and power, there will be many women who will volunteer to serve him as long as he wants. However, in addition to the attraction of power and money, how many factors are there to really like him?
Xiang Yang is different, she is as pure as a blank piece of paper, and she has not been polluted by worldly desires at all. The physical disability will not affect her love for Shu Wuzheng in the slightest.
Master Yu said sincerely: "Congratulations." β
"Thank you. Shu Wuzheng smiled and said, "There is a question that I would like to ask you." β
"You're welcome. β
"If the Huashan duel is real, will you rush to Huashan first, or will you go to save Xiangyang first?" Shu Wuzheng was still smiling, but his eyes were as sharp as a blade.
Yu Jinyin was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Shu Wuzheng to ask this question.
"Can I not answer?"
"I'm hoping for answers. Because this answer is important to you and to me. β
"Important to you?"
Shu Wuzheng nodded and said slowly, "Over the years, my style of acting has been influenced by the members of this sect. I would like to know how the way the 'Heavenly Dao Hall' acted in the face of such a choice. β
Master Jade's expression became serious. Because what Shu Wuzhong asked was actually the difference between chivalry and demons. His answer will even affect Shu Wuzheng's future way of acting, that is, it will affect the way the Demon Sect will act in the future.
After pondering for a long time, Yu Jinyin said slowly: "I will still save Xiangyang first." β
Shu Wuzheng stared at him: "Why?"
"Because Xiang Yang is not from the rivers and lakes, she should not pay any price for the battle on the rivers and lakes. β
"What about Qiao'er?"
Qiao'er!
These two words pierced into the heart of Master Yu like a needle.
"I think Qiao'er will understand. Everything she can do for me, I can do for her. β
Master Jade is gone. Shu Wuzheng still sat there quietly, Xiang Yang leaning on his knees.
After a long time, Xiang Yang suddenly asked, "You say, will Sister Qiao'er forgive Big Brother Yu in the end?"
"Yes. Because they're just the same kind of people. β
"I think so. Sister Qiao'er likes Brother Yu so much, it won't take a few days for her to run to him. I hope that after they meet, Brother Yu will not make Sister Qiao'er angry again. β
"No, it won't. Brother Yu is not a fool. β
Shu Wuzheng gently stroked her hair and laughed silently.
