A week later, the mountain behind the Qintai.

Shen Qiu, whose injuries on the surface of his body had almost healed, shook his hand and put it back on the stone platform in the center of the cave waterhole.

Behind him, the veiled Yaoqin girl whispered:

"Shen Qiu, if you need it, you can take it with you. There is no need to return it, I heard Uncle Hei say that it is extremely rare to walk the rivers and lakes and have a good blade. ”

"Indeed."

Shen Qiu stretched out his hand and stroked the cold light shaking knife in front of him, and he replied in a gentle tone:

"The sword is in hand, and the courage is strong, the problem is, although this shaking light is good, I can't keep it."

He withdrew his fingers, no longer lingering, turned to Yaoqin and said:

"Once the news of Shaguang's birth spreads, there will inevitably be visitors from all walks of life looking for me, one or two, and I can't cope with more.

What's more, there is Qingqing. ”

He touched his wrist and said:

"This incident is a lesson. Before I get really strong, it's better for me to keep a low profile. ”

"Hmm."

Yaoqin is also a smart person, so she no longer persuades.

She walked out of the cave side by side with Shen Qiu, took out a strange-shaped key from her sleeve, handed it to Shen Qiu, and said:

Uncle Hei returned to Momen, saying that he was going to invite his master to come to Suzhou, which was said to be for an important matter. He is not here these days, but the light is placed here, and if you need it, you can come and get it at any time. ”

"The master of inky black?"

Shen Qiu asked curiously:

"Although this ink black is silent, I see his amazing martial arts, and I heard you say that he is a disciple of the Mo Sect, and his master is the Mo family's great son?"

"Yes."

Yaoqin gently shook the beauty fan in her hand and replied:

"The black-clothed ink man Wujiu, although I am not from the rivers and lakes, I have also heard of the deeds of this senior, I heard that the predecessor of Wujiu is a master of the heavenly list."

"Five-nine? It's a peculiar name. ”

Shen Qiu smiled.

"That's not a name, you're still a charlatan."

Yaoqin smiled, and she explained in a voice like the sound of a piano:

"The inheritance of the Mo family is secret, and every juzi will give up his name and be called by the inheritance sequence, and the fifty-nine predecessors are the fifty-ninth generation of the Mo family.

As for his mortal name, no one knows it now. ”

"I see."

Shen Qiu was kindly ridiculed by Yaoqin, and he was not angry.

He rubbed his chin and whispered:

"To be able to work a master of the heavenly list to come to Suzhou, I'm afraid it's a big thing."

Yaoqin shook her head, and she said helplessly:

"I don't know, Uncle Hei didn't say it, the Mo family acts like this, very secretive. But before Uncle Hei left, he told me to take care of the iron-folding boy. ”

"Is that little iron?"

Shen Qiu frowned, and he said:

"He seems to have a good time with Qingqing."

"Yes."

Yaoqin Says:

"He and Qingqing have suffered together in the Five Elements Gate Evil Cave, and it is said that they also killed a thief together, so naturally they have a bad relationship, I know what you are worried about.

But I saw that the young man who folded iron was simple and honest, and he didn't have any bad intentions. It's that this young man is a little amazing, if he doesn't say it, if he puts on a mask to hide his immaturity, who would have thought that this eight-foot man is only fourteen years old? ”

Shen Qiu also smiled.

After getting close to Yaoqin, he found that this girl in charge of the family was not the kind of person who was not close to people, and she was very knowledgeable, gentle and lovely, like those independent urban women in her previous life.

She also has the demeanor of a strong woman, which is indeed very attractive, no wonder her predecessor Shen Qiu has a deep affection for her.

But I don't know if it's an illusion.

Every time Shen Qiu saw Yaoqin's eyebrows, he would always feel a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"That's it."

Shen Qiu and Yaoqin walked down the stone steps in the mountain, and he said to Yaoqin:

"I'll take this iron-folding boy back to Suzhou City with Qingqing.

There are quite a lot of female dependents in this piano platform, and you yourself are in the boudoir to be married, and there are rumors in charge of the merchant house, and letting a half-grown son live here for a long time will be harmful to your reputation. ”

Yaoqin didn't answer immediately, she thought for a moment, then nodded, and said:

"That's fine, then I'll bother you."

"Don't be so polite, we are friends, and friends naturally help each other."

Shen Qiu replied casually, and after taking a few steps, he remembered another thing, he looked left and right, lowered his voice, and said to Yaoqin:

"Over there in the Yi Family?"

"It's done."

Yaoqin also said in a whispered voice:

"You don't have to worry, the dart master is a dart master in this line of fighting, killing and killing, life and death are very common, although the big dart head Yi Ke is outstanding in martial arts, but this time he is going to exterminate the people in the Demon Sect, and it is quite normal to die there.

I have sent people to send condolence money, and I have asked the merchant book number and storytellers to try their best to publicize that Yi Ke Dart Tou single-handedly killed the 69th thief on the Jianghu list, and greatly promoted the Yi Family Dart Bureau. ”

The girl in charge sighed, she looked at the piano platform at the foot of the mountain, and she said:

"Died a famous dart, but broadened the business, the dart board shopkeeper, I'm afraid I am also happy."

"That man is innocent."

Shen Qiu said coldly:

"Yaoqin doesn't have to be sentimental."

"I just have some feelings, this person in the rivers and lakes is really more fatal than mustard, and he died for some false fame, isn't it good to live well? How precious it is to act freely, but you have to seek death. ”

Yaoqin looked back at Shen Qiu, and she said:

"Shen Qiu, do you still want to go to the rivers and lakes?"

Shen Qiu was silent.

After a long time, he whispered:

"It's not something I can decide."

This answer made Yaoqin not satisfied, this clever girl posed a fan, and she said in an indifferent tone:

"You really want to go in your heart, but you have to say that you can't help it.

If you don't want to go to the rivers and lakes, put down the knife in your hand, although my Falling Moon Merchant is just a businessman, it will also protect you and Qingqing. You are so dishonest! ”

Talking to Yaoqin, they broke up unhappily.

Shen Qiu was not in a good mood either, he took Qingqing and the iron boy into a carriage and returned to Suzhou City, but since he put the shaking knife back into the cave, it meant that he had already got what he wanted.

Just last night, Shen Qiu shook the light with the Seven Stars in his hand, relied on the fighting style, and used the explosion of true qi to make a killing move, breaking Zhou Sheng again.

The Five Elements Gate Mention Secret Technique Phantom Footwork is in hand.

However, what surprised Shen Qiu was that Zhou Sheng's technique that could distinguish the illusory sword shadow was not a knife technique, but an assassination technique of the Five Elements Gate.

Call for the Seven Kills.

It can be used not only for knives, but also for other weapons, and even hidden weapons, but in addition to techniques, it also needs true qi support.

When fighting, wrap the weapon with true qi, make it vibrate at high speed, and wield the weapon according to a specific technique, you can distinguish the phantom, which is unpredictable.

But this thing seemed a bit chicken to Shen Qiu.

No wonder Zhou Sheng wanted to use the kind of willow leaf light blade that was not good at parrying, and those assassins also used daggers to use short soldiers, after all, only this kind of light and thin weapon could vibrate at high speed when used, and cooperate with the true qi to emit a knife shadow.

A heavy blade like a shaking knife will definitely not be able to shake off the shadow of the sword.

In addition, there is a set of internal skills used by the people of the Five Elements Gate, the name is strange, called Fish Intestine Gong, which should be taken from the allusion of the Zhuzhu Thorn Wang.

However, the Five Elements Gate is the Seven Sects of the Demon Sect, and its internal inheritance is tight.

This fish intestine skill is also divided into three classes according to the realm.

Zhou Sheng's fish intestine skill has not broken through the first level, so he can't learn the next stage of internal strength and heart method, but even if he only has the first level of fish intestine skill, it is much better than the Lei Gong heart method that Shen Qiu is using now.

The inheritance of this Jianghu Gate School is really different.

Internal and external skills, plus the lifting of the vertical and light body techniques, as well as special martial arts techniques, are readily available, and their disciples do not need to explore by themselves at all, just learn them step by step according to the set martial arts.

This treatment is much better than that of a Jianghu scattered person like Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu sat in the carriage and couldn't help but sigh.

Qingqing sat beside Shen Qiu, playing with a set of flying knives rolled in the cloth, which was made for her by the forger of the Falling Moon Qintai according to Shen Qiu's request.

"This cultivation secret weapon is not so easy."

Shen Qiu said to Qingqing:

"From today on, you have to practice martial arts with me every day, exercise your arms, arm strength, the ointment of Chabao, you also have to start applying it to the palms, and you also have to exercise the leg muscles to practice the phantom footwork."

"Got it."

Qingqing was full of complaints when she mentioned practicing martial arts in the past, and this girl was quite lazy.

But after experiencing the abduction, she also saw the sinister rivers and lakes, and she also had the idea of practicing martial arts with her heart.

"And the iron-folding boy."

After Shen Qiu glanced at the carriage, the tall young man was riding on a horse, following the carriage, he was quite relaxed, looking at the scenery curiously all the way, looking without pressure.

"He has secrets in him."

Shen Qiu told Qingqing:

"You're going to have a heart, you know?"

"Little Iron Man is good."

Qingqing frowned and said:

"He killed the enemy with me, or did he carry you out of the tunnel, he can be trusted."

"In your eyes, anyone can be trusted!"

Shen Qiu reprimanded, Qingqing pouted and didn't speak.

He could only shake his head, fortunately, the dart game at home was so big, he had resigned from Yaoqin's job of searching between firms, and in the future, he would have time to observe this young man of unknown origin.

As soon as he returned to the Lujia Dart Bureau, Shen Qiu sent Qingqing to take out his futon to dry, and immediately after, a guest came to visit.

A middle-aged man wearing a long shirt and a beard.

That is the shopkeeper of Suzhou Yinlou.

"Shen Shaoxia, the old man came to give an apology."

The shopkeeper smiled, looking like a businessman, he bowed slightly to Shen Qiu, and behind him, there was a guy in green clothes who put a long wooden box on the table in the front hall of the dart game.

Shen Qiu opened the wooden box, and there was a long knife with a sheath in it.

The handle of the knife is simple, wrapped with black cloth, and embellished with leather, which is not easy to get rid of.

The knife is round, black, and has a seal carving.

It is called "Hongming".

Shen Qiu picked up the knife and started lightly, much lighter than the shaking knife, and the weight of the previous Yanling knife was about the same, so it was just right to use it with one hand.

"Wow"

He pulled out the blade, and a touch of snow white came into his eyes, the blade was shiny, and there were black moire, which was very beautiful.

This knife is three feet seven inches long, with a smooth blade and three fingers wide.

It is not a straight-edged knife, but at the front of the blade, it is like a bright moon bending, and the appearance is extremely simple and generous, with a sharp blade and perfect balance.

"Good knives!"

Shen Qiu sighed, this knife was not worse than the previous Yanling knife.

Although it is not as good as the supreme treasure Seven Stars Shaking Light, it is not a famous blade, but in this market, it is also a rare good blade.

"Hehe, the young man lost his weapon in my hidden building, so I naturally have to look for it carefully and apologize.

It happened that the Chang'an branch was last month, and in a business related to the Western Regions, he found this good knife, so the old man gave up his old face and asked his colleagues to come over and pay compensation for the young man. ”

The shopkeeper of the hidden building saw that Shen Qiu was very satisfied, and he smiled.

The reputation of the hidden building is very important, and once the reputation is broken, it will be difficult to continue the business.

He sat on the chair on the table, picked up the tea bowl, and regardless of the poor tea, took a sip, and said to Shen Qiu:

"Young man, can you be satisfied with this Ming Hong Knife?"

"Satisfied!"

Shen Qiu sat on the chair on the other side, he hugged his fist at the shopkeeper of the hidden building, and said:

"The hidden building is really extraordinary, a promise of gold, admired below."

"Haha, that's it."

The shopkeeper of the hidden building laughed, and he said to Shen Qiu:

"That day, I hope that the young man will keep it a secret."

"It's nature."

Shen Qiu got a good knife and was in a good mood, so he immediately responded, and he asked again:

"Didn't the disguised man find any trace that day?"

The shopkeeper of the hidden building shook his head, his face was ugly, probably because of the person's superb means, so that the hidden building could not be found, and he lost face greatly.

He didn't want to say more about the scandal, so he turned the conversation to another matter.

The shopkeeper put down the tea bowl and asked Shen Qiu:

"The old man came here today, and there is another thing to ask the young man, can the young man be willing to enter the list of Jianghu people made by my hidden building? Replace the stabbing knife Zhou Sheng, ranked sixty-ninth? ”

"Huh?"

Shen Qiu's eyes narrowed, he thought for a moment, and said softly:

"I'm afraid the shopkeeper is thinking badly, in this Suzhou city, everyone now knows that it is the big dart head of the Yi Family Dart Bureau, the seventy-two Yi Ke Yi Daxia, desperately killed the demon sect, and Yi Daxia also unfortunately died.

Why does the shopkeeper ask me if I am on the list?

I'm just a scattered person in the rivers and lakes, and my martial arts are low, how can I be on this prestigious list? ”

"Huh"

When the shopkeeper of the hidden building heard Shen Qiu say this, he laughed, and he said:

"Does what everybody says have to be true? If I rely on rumors in the market to do things, then there is no need to make this list of rivers and lakes.

Zhou Sheng was injured in the leg and the meridians were abolished.

The left arm was lost, the wound was smooth, and the twenty-seven wounds on the body were all examined by my Yinlou Ji Nian Yi, all of which were knife wounds. ”

The shopkeeper of the hidden building glanced at Shen Qiu's hands, and he said softly:

"Na Yi Ke is good at using a long sword, and his life-killing fast sword is quite expressive, but he doesn't know how to use swordsmanship... Does the young man still need the old man to continue? ”

"Maybe Yi Daxia can also be subtle in swordsmanship, but he just doesn't look at people."

Shen Qiu held the tea bowl and said slowly:

"People in the rivers and lakes must always keep a few hands for life.

I was in the secret passage that day, but when I saw Yi Daxia kill Zhou Sheng with my own eyes, the shopkeeper should not believe the rumors. ”

He looked at the shopkeeper and said seriously:

"Zhou Sheng, it was Yi Ke who killed him! Shopkeeper, do you need me to continue? ”

"Okay."

The shopkeeper of the hidden building already understood Shen Qiu's intentions.

He didn't bother anymore, got up and said to Shen Qiu:

"Shaoxia is indifferent to fame and fortune and doesn't want to be famous, so that's it.

But the old man is quite chivalrous, and there will inevitably be something famous in the future, and he will be famous, that is, I will ask again. ”

"The shopkeeper doesn't have to come."

Shen Qiu got up and sent the shopkeeper of the hidden building to the door, and he said softly:

"I still have relatives at home, and I don't want to be famous, so I want to live by this dart game, and I hope that the shopkeeper will be convenient."

The shopkeeper of the hidden building nodded with a smile.

He twisted his beard and said to Shen Qiu:

"Young man, the old man is used to seeing things in the rivers and lakes, and he knows your mind."

"But listen to the old man's advice, there are some things that can't be avoided, rather than being stepped on by others, it is better to take the first step, step on their heads, and go straight to the clouds.

In these rivers and lakes, there are many people who seek fame and fortune, just like jackals.

If you pretend to be a pig, the jackals will be vicious, and if you are a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, they will retreat. ”

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and patted Shen Qiu's arm, and he said meaningfully:

"What the old man means is that tigers and leopards should be close to their kind, and when the beasts gather, how can there be a place for pigs and dolphins? If you have an idea in the future, on the list of rivers and lakes, you will have the name of a young man, and you will be famous all over the world, and it will be a moment.

The young man is good at thinking about it. ”
