7. Letters

"How do you want me to answer you?"

In the seventh room of Tianzi, the man said in surprise:

"I don't even know who Zhou Qi is? I have a lot of legends in the hidden building, but that's just a legend, Shaoxia, I don't open my eyes and can see everything in the world. ”

This answer made Shen Qiu a little disappointed.

But when he turned to leave, the man suddenly said:

"But if you have to ask, then... Indeed it is!

You killed Zhou Qi, and you ruined the 'filial piety' that Zhou Qi captured, which made Zhou Qi's eldest brother in the Five Elements Gate extremely angry, and then counted the 72 women dedicated to the Red Lian Demon Lord.

But now, because of your righteous deeds, there are a few fewer out of thin air.

They didn't want to offend the Falling Moon Merchant Workshop, so they let Fan Qingqing go, but the grievances between you and Zhou Qi ended up falling on your junior sister.

I guess you're asking this question to solve your inner doubts.

Then I will tell you plainly, Shaoxia, it was indeed you who harmed your junior sister! ”

This answer made Shen Qiu clench the scabbard in his hand.

He didn't feel good about it.

He clenched his fist at the man and turned to leave, but was stopped.

"However, Shen Shaoxia, you still have a chance to redeem it.

If you are willing to exchange the piece of jade in your hand for Yinlou, I can guarantee that within 2 hours, your junior sister will be able to return home safely. I can also guarantee that those people of the Five Elements Sect will never dare to have evil thoughts about Fan Qingqing from now on.

Even if the young man is willing, it is not difficult to let the evil Five Elements Gate be destroyed. ”

"How? Do you want to change? ”

Shen Qiu's heart was shocked, and he subconsciously pulled out the knife.

Kendama is the biggest secret in his heart.

But with a soft sound, sharp energy volleyed into the air and smashed on Shen Qiu's knife.

Let this good knife break in response, and the blade fragments were scattered everywhere, hanging around Shen Qiu's body like butterflies.

The man flicked his finger again.

Before those fragments fell, they were shaken away from Shen Qiu's body and stuck on the wall like darts, and that gentle energy pushed Shen Qiu back a few steps like a hand and sat on the chair.

"Dare to draw a knife in the hidden building, the young man is so courageous."

The man withdrew his finger lightly, he was at least a foot away from Shen Qiu, such an internal force...

The man looked at Shen Qiu, and he said word by word:

"Let me ask you, that piece of jade, can you change it?"

"Don't change!"

Shen Qiu felt a burst of chaos in his body, he forcibly endured the soreness of his body, and said to the man:

"What I caused myself, I will handle it myself, and I will not fake it to others! Even if you die, then die! ”

"Good!"

The man was not forced, he said to Shen Qiu:

"Just remember what you said today, I want to see how the Lord of the Heavenly Sword and Jade should clean up the mess he caused since Zhang Moxie disappeared.

Go, for if you die, someone will collect your body!" ”

Shen Qiu glanced at the broken knife on the ground, he didn't go to clean it up, and walked out with his hands on the door.

This startled the Song beggar, who hurriedly helped him down, walked down the second floor, and sat down on a chair to rest.

And after Shen Qiu left, the man in Tianzi Room No. 7 sat back in his chair, he reached out and twisted his well-trimmed beard, and scooped up something from his feet.

It was round, soft and warm to the touch, and it had a tail with oily fur.

It's a tanuki.

Well, big orange cat.

He took the orange cat into his arms, and while smoothing it, he said:

"Martial arts are sparse, true qi is loose, there is no spiritual light, and the talent is mediocre, I really don't know, why Tongtian Jianyu chose him as the master... I also want to take this opportunity to take that fairy fate back in my hands.

But that kid's heart is okay, that is, there is arrogance and arrogance in his bones, if no one guides him, if he can grow up, he will be a character like a demon lord in the future. ”

He picked up the lazy orange cat, and when he walked to the room, he said to the orange cat in his arms:

"You say, five years ago, according to the agreement, I handed over the Tongtian Sword Jade to him, is it right or wrong?"

"Meow~"

The orange cat barked softly, and the man laughed softly, and said:

"Yes, you have a point.

The things of the immortal family have their own aura, they choose their own masters, it is useless to think about it, let's take a look and see if this young man Shen Qiu is the one who can reopen the gate of heaven.

Alas, this Suzhou is quite boring, and a group of juniors are intriguing, which is really unpopular and annoying.

This evil is too, it's been almost 10 years, and he hasn't grown, and he's still playing the trick of spoiling women, and that's it in his life. ”

"Let's go, it's okay, let's go to Luoyang first."

The other side.

Shen Qiu breathed for a quarter of an hour on the second floor, which allowed the true qi to barely resume flowing.

That person's strength was simply unfathomable, and with a finger of his hand, he interrupted Shen Qiu's Yanling Knife with just his strength, that knife was an extremely rare thing, and several sword forging masters in the Falling Moon Merchant Workshop also praised it repeatedly.

And that person had no intention of hurting Shen Qiu's life, that finger might just be done casually.

"What the hell are you asking?"

Song beggar said angrily:

"Do you know that if you use force in this hidden building, the end will be extremely miserable."

"It's me Meng Lang."

Shen Qiu's heart was a little confused, so he replied casually.

While the two were talking, they saw the middle-aged man behind the counter hurriedly walking up to the second floor and walking towards them.

"The two of you can get information in room seven?"

"I asked, and I got the answer."

Song beggar said:

"What's going on? Look at you guys in a hurry, something happened? ”

The middle-aged man didn't care to roll up his beard, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and said:

"I just found out that a master fainted in the backyard and was ordered to sleep, and he hasn't woken up yet."

He glanced at Shen Qiu and Song Beggar with strange eyes, and said:

"It's the master who should be in the seventh room of Tianzi."

"Huh?"

Song beggar reacted immediately, and he asked sharply:

"The man we saw just now wasn't from your hidden building? This is the rule of your hidden building? Let people who don't know the details just get in? ”

"Yes, yes, it was my mistake."

The middle-aged man was quite embarrassed, and he replied as he said:

"We will definitely make amends for the two of you."

"That's what you said, so I'll ask."

Shen Qiu stared at the steward, and he said:

"Where is the rudder of the Five Elements Gate in Suzhou?"

"How can we know about such confidential matters?"

The steward's eyes widened, his hands were spread, and he said to Shen Qiu with a helpless and innocent expression:

"It's true that Yinlou is well-informed, but I'm not omniscient. What's more, this matter related to the people in the Demon Sect, you can't ask the answer to this Suzhou Yinlou branch in my wait.

If you have to answer, you have to go to Lin'an, or Yanjing. ”

Shen Qiu and Song Beggar glanced at each other.

They immediately knew that although the person just now was not from the Hidden Building, his news channel seemed to be much more powerful than the Hidden Building.

I just don't know, which senior is this who has nothing to do and wants to play this with Shen Qiu?

While apologizing from the steward, he walked out of the hidden building quickly, and played with the sword jade in his hand.

If that senior really wanted to snatch this sword jade, Shen Qiu would definitely not be able to stop it.

Why didn't he stay strong?

These questions kept echoing in his mind, making Shen Qiu's head hurt.

The most troublesome thing is that where Qingqing is locked up, there is no explanation yet, but I know that there are masters guarding that place.

In this Suzhou city, there is also a master of the Five Elements Gate who is hiding.

For a while, this prosperous Suzhou, in Shen Qiu's eyes, became as dangerous as a ghost.

The carriage of the Falling Moon Merchant Fang left the teahouse, and Shen Qiu and Song beggar looked at each other speechlessly, with a box at their feet, which was the apologetic compensation of the hidden building.

"I brought 100 taels of gold, but I left with 200 taels of gold."

Song beggar touched his chin and said bitterly:

"This is calculated left and right, we also earned 100 taels, and the manager of the hidden building also said that he would compensate you for a good knife."

"What's the use of asking for those?"

Shen Qiu waved his hand, and he said:

"I just want Qingqing to be safe, Uncle Song, you go back to Yueqintai first, I want to go back home."

He said to the Song beggar:

"There is still a blade left by the master, I will go and get it, tonight, I will meet at the Qintai to discuss the rescue plan."

Song beggar nodded, and he told Shen Qiu:

"Well, go ahead."

"You don't have to be too anxious, if the information that person gave us is correct, just a few people are on the list, and they can't help the Falling Moon Workshop.

As long as you find the rudder of the Five Elements Gate, this thing will be very promising. ”

Shen Qiu nodded, he rode a horse, crossed Suzhou City, and returned to the Lujia Dart Bureau.

Qingqing is not here, and this house has become a lot more deserted.

Shen Qiu picked up two hand axes, put them in the package, and was about to go out, but before leaving, his gaze fell on the counter of the dart game.

There, there was a letter.

"What is this?"

Shen Qiu carried the burden on his back and stepped forward, he was wearing Cha Bao's finger guards, and he was not worried about contact poisoning.

He opened the envelope and shook it, and a folded letter paper fell in front of Shen Qiu's eyes, and there was a smell of fat powder on the letterhead.

Shen Qiu looked at the letterhead, there was only one sentence on it.

"Ten miles outside the city, the Hanshan Annex, I haven't noticed it yet, and the soldiers are fast. Five days later, we will leave Suzhou. ”

"Huh"

Shen Qiu's eyes immediately narrowed.

He wasted no time, grabbed the piece of paper, stuffed it into his arms, and rode out of the house, without even closing the door of the dart board.

He rode past the Liu family's grocery store, and when he saw the old man Liu walking, he threw the door key to the stunned old man and admonished him.

"Uncle Liu, help me take care of the house! I'll be back in a few days. ”

Riding his horse all the way, Shen Qiu kept waving his horsewhip, almost tired to death from the horse under his crotch, and finally rushed to the Falling Moon Qintai in half an hour.

He threw the reins to the housekeeper at the door, and walked quickly into the piano platform, and as soon as he pushed open the door of the small building near the lake, he saw that the girl Yaoqin was sitting up from the brocade couch in surprise.

She should be taking a nap, there is no light veil on her face, and that face falls into Shen Qiu's eyes, it is indeed a national color and heavenly fragrance.

But now Shen Qiu was in no mood to comment on the girl's appearance.

He took out the letter from his bosom, handed it to Yaoqin, and said:

"I found Qingqing, it's in the Hanshan Annex!"

“?”

Yaoqin turned around expressionlessly, asked the veil to be put on her face, and then looked down at the letter that Shen Qiu brought, but at this glance, Miss Yaoqin couldn't cry or laugh.

She put the letter on the table and said to Shen Qiu with concern:

"Senior Brother Shen Qiu, I know that Qingqing's disappearance has made you feel a lot of pressure, but please wait with peace of mind, this matter will definitely be resolved."

"What are you talking about?"

Shen Qiu looked at Yaoqin suspiciously, and the latter pointed to the piece of paper and said:

"You brought this letter with you, but there was nothing."

"Huh?"

Shen Qiu looked down.

Sure enough, the letter paper on which the words were written just now was blank at the moment.

Even the grease on the letter dissipated.

"No, I'm absolutely not mistaken!"

Shen Qiu frowned, and told Yaoqin about the process of discovering this piece of paper.

The more Yaoqin listened, the more suspicious she became, Shen Qiu's appearance didn't seem to be fake, she thought about it, and sent someone to call the Song beggar who was resting, and handed the paper to the old beggar who had a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes.

The latter listened to Shen Qiu's description, he rubbed the letter in his hand, and after a while, he asked:

"Shen Qiu, are you sure you smell a smell of fat powder?"

"Yes."

Shen Qiu said:

"I'm sure I'm not mistaken."

"That's not grease powder!"

Song beggar put the letter paper on the table, and he said to Shen Qiu and Yaoqin:

"That's the smell of ink, and I heard this when I walked the rivers and lakes in my early years.

Write in special ink, but be careful to store it in an oiled paper envelope, as once opened, the ink and words will quickly disappear when they come into contact with the outside world. ”

Shen Qiu and Yaoqin nodded, among the nine streams of the rivers and lakes, they are indeed all doorways.

"Senior Brother Shen Qiu, do you remember the contents of the letter?"

Yaoqin asked.

Shen Qiu said:

"Yes. Ten miles outside the city, the Hanshan Annex, has not yet been aware, and the soldiers are fast. Five days later, we will leave Suzhou. ”

Yaoqin bowed slightly, she turned her head to look at Song Beggar, who breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"I'll send someone to check it out."

"As a member of the beggar gang, the only benefit is here."

The old beggar saw that things were on the right track, but he also regained his former temperament.

He squeezed his eyes at Shen Qiu and said to himself:

"No one will be idle, to suspect that the door is called Hanako, near the Hanshan Annex is the Hanshan Temple, where there are also many beggars gathered together, praying for a mouthful of porridge and rice for the monks to give alms."

"Don't worry, there will be news in a day at most. But Shen Qiu... From now on, you must be ready to fight, and even die.

Remember what you said to me, the old road is watching from the sky! ”
