21. Identify yourself

"The long river is lonely, the breath is soft, a little less feminine than the phantom footwork, and a little more atmospheric than the snow step.

More center of gravity is leisurely, ups and downs are rapid, between square inches, there is also the wonder of shadowing, this footwork is transported, such as lonely smoke, wild geese fluttering, there is a desolate atmosphere. ”

On Luoyang Street, among the carriages, Shen Qiu sighed:

"It is worthy of the thousand-year-old subtlety of the Holy Fire Sect, there are also tricks against the enemy in this longitudinal technique, if it is matched with the true qi of the Yang Yan, there will be flames churning between moves, which can hurt people invisibly, and they are not afraid of group battles."

"Yes, that's what Mother said."

In the carriage, Yaoqin had changed back into a plain dress and long skirt.

also wore Shen Qiu's black hat to cover his face.

They were going to Lei Mansion, and Yaoqin was a little apprehensive in her heart, so she chatted with Shen Qiu to resolve the worries in her heart.

She said to Shen Qiu:

"This long river of lonely smoke is the Sacred Flame Sect's extinction.

Naturally, it is necessary to use it with advanced internal strength, and there are all kinds of wonderful methods, and the master of the Holy Fire Sect is never afraid of being besieged by many people, which is the reason for this light skill.

It's just that I'm weak, and my mother said that if you want to learn martial arts, you have to temper your body by the thousand-year-old holy fire first.

She didn't want me to have anything to do with the rivers and lakes anymore, so she only taught me to use longitudinal techniques to defend myself.

And when Uncle Lu was there, he always said that Shen Qiu, your talent is too poor, but in the past few days, you have learned to walk alone, but you are very fast. ”

Yaoqin chuckled, and she said:

"It's much faster than when I was a kid."

"Maybe I have a special talent for longitudinal lifting."

Shen Qiu snorted and covered up the past.

His family knows his own affairs, and in the past few days, in addition to eating and going to the toilet, he has been practicing this lonely walk almost all the time, and the dream has given him a few more days to practice.

Fighting against the enemy, the master of the mountain, and practicing between life and death, the progress of this lonely step is naturally much faster.

What special talent does he have?

It's nothing more than being willing to work hard and being able to endure the practice.

"On this street, there are all Heluo Gang boxers, it seems that the situation in Luoyang is not good."

Shen Qiu lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, on a street in front of the Lei Mansion, there were nearly a hundred black-clothed boxers of the Heluo Gang guarding them.

Coupled with the news he got from the beggar gang, Shen Qiu could already determine a few points in his heart.

A few days ago, he used the Shocking Beast to send a text message to the Lei Mansion, and at this time, Lei Ye and Lang Seng should be there.

He didn't tell the truth of the matter, but only told Lei Ye that there was news about the Holy Fire Sect.

If Lei Shiyin was really another Holy Fire Sect saintess, then this news was enough to make Lei Ye serious.

Now it seems that the time for a showdown has indeed come.

After half a pillar of incense, the carriage stopped in front of the Lei Mansion, and Lei Ye's henchman, the Zhao steward, greeted him at the door in advance.

Seeing Shen Qiu jump out of the carriage, Steward Zhao greeted him.

"The master and the master are waiting for the young man at home, please come with me."

Shen Qiu nodded, and then stretched out his hand to help Yaoqin out of the car, the two have been closer in the past few days, and now that the matter is urgent, Yaoqin can't take care of this man and woman's defense.

She grabbed Shen Qiu's wrist and got out of the carriage, and straightened her clothes and hair.

Steward Zhao looked at this girl with a hat and a plain skirt, this is definitely not Miss Qingqing.

Yaoqin's height is taller than Qingqing's, and her washboard figure is much better than that girl's.

"Who is this?"

Steward Zhao asked softly, Shen Qiu waved his hand, and said casually:

"It's my family, and it's also the one who knows, and Steward Zhao is leading the way."

Steward Zhao took the two of them across a large garden, and there was a square martial arts arena, with the banner of the Heluo Gang, after the martial arts arena, it was the lobby of the mansion, which would be used when welcoming distinguished guests.

When Shen Qiu and Yaoqin entered the lobby, they saw Lei Ye and Lang Seng sitting on the front of the lobby, one left and one right.

Lei Ye is still a little raunchy, although he is also wearing a good brocade gown, but he has a round belly and a hookah in his hand.

His smiling fat face really makes it difficult for people to hook him up with the identity of the leader of the Heluo Gang.

Seeing Shen Qiu's arrival, Lei Ye, who was smoking a cigarette, put down his cigarette pouch and got up very enthusiastically to greet him, just like when he met in Huaishui.

He called himself a virtuous nephew, sat on a chair with Shen Qiu, and beckoned Steward Zhao to hurry up and start a banquet, wanting to wash the dust for his virtuous nephew, acting like a businessman.

Shen Qiu didn't stop it.

It's good to talk about things at the wine table, this is the rule of the ages, for an old man like Lei Ye with a gloomy mind, it is not beautiful to talk about things directly.

After a while, there were more wine and food on the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall.

Lei Ye held the wine jug, poured a glass of wine for Shen Qiu, and then looked at Shen Qiu's side except for the hat Yaoqin, when he saw that face, Lei Ye's eyes narrowed, and then said with a smile:

"Won't you introduce me to this beautiful girl next to you? The old man sees that the two of you are very intimate, isn't this girl the person I like my nephew? ”

That's a joke between acquaintances.

Yaoqin's cheeks were slightly red, so Shen Qiu picked up the wine glass and toasted Lei Ye and Lang Monk, and then explained:

"This girl is my family and benefactor with Qingqing, Qingqing has been taken care of by her since she was a child, so she can grow up safely.

In addition, she is the girl in charge of the Suzhou Falling Moon Workshop, and the falling moon number is the private property of Yaoqin's family. ”

"Well, the girl is so big."

Lei Ye was taken aback, he suddenly got up, clenched his fists at Yaoqin, and said:

"The rudder of my Heluo Gang in Suzhou also sends letters from time to time, hoping to reach some business contacts with the Falling Moon Merchants.

This time, the lord of the Falling Moon Merchant is in front, it is our old Lei who is dim-eyed and can't recognize the real person, please Miss Yaoqin, forgive our old Lei Menglang. ”

"Lei Ye doesn't have to be like this."

Yaoqin chuckled, and she said:

"I'm in Suzhou, and I've heard that the Heluo Gang has business routes all over the world, and the housekeeper has also suggested cooperation with your gang, but it's delayed for various reasons."

Both of them are wealthy businessmen, although Yaoqin never participates in the family's business banquets.

But in charge of the commercial affairs of the shopping mall, he also has his own demeanor in the conversation.

She had a very happy conversation with Lei Ye.

Shen Qiu, on the other hand, drank wine and did not participate in the discussion, until Yaoqin took off her hat and saw her face, that the expressions of Lei Ye and Lang Seng changed a little.

Lei Ye glanced at his brother, then put down the wine glass, picked up the hookah, his gaze moved on Shen Qiu and Yaoqin for a moment, and asked:

"Virtuous nephew, you wrote yesterday, saying that there is something related to the Holy Fire Sect, and you want to talk to our old Lei?"

"Yes, Master Lei."

Shen Qiu also put down his wine glass, he looked at Lei Ye and said softly:

"Master Lei, my junior sister and I have been taken care of by you many times, and the matter of Qilu is also thanks to the help of Master Lei and Master Hateful.

Between you and me, there is affection, and I will not hide it. ”

He pointed to Yaoqin and said:

"Today's events are related to Yaoqin, and it is also related to Miss Shiyin. Shen Qiu wanted to ask, did Lei Ye have no doubts in his heart when he saw Yaoqin's familiar eyebrows? ”

This question made Lei Ye's smiling expression a little lower.

He did not answer, but shouted outside the door:

"Lao Zhao, within a hundred zhang, no one is allowed to stay!"

Steward Zhao outside the door immediately turned around and left, and after a short time, the entire hall was emptied within a hundred zhang, and the door of the hall was also closed.

The light in the room dimmed.

Lei Ye picked up the hookah, and the smile on his face disappeared.

He smoked a cigarette, puffed out two wisps of smoke from his nostrils, looked at Shen Qiu and Yaoqin, and said:

"When did you find out?"

"About seven days ago."

Shen Qiu also replied calmly:

"Let's let Yaoqin tell you about this, ethically speaking, Lei Ye is also Yaoqin's uncle."

"Uncle?"

As soon as he said this, Lei Ye was so shocked that he stood up on the spot.

The monk next to him also clasped the Buddha beads in his hand, looking at his movements, if something is wrong, this Buddha bead can be thrown out as a hidden weapon.

Between the halls, there was some tension.

Yaoqin's hand trembled, but Shen Qiu reached out and patted her, signaling that she didn't have to worry.

She took a deep breath and said to the stunned Lei Ye in front of her:

"Master Lei, my mother's name is Zhiyue, and she is the Holy Daughter of the Holy Fire Sect.

She has a biological sister, named Shiyun, who is also a member of the Holy Maiden clan, I heard the Qingqing girl say about Shiyin, if I expected it to be true, Shiyin is my aunt and your daughter.

But looking at Lei Ye's appearance, could it be that my aunt never told you about her life experience? ”

"Gillian said it."

Lei Ye and Lang Seng glanced at each other, he stared at Yaoqin and said:

"But she just told me to wait for the Holy Fire Sect and let me protect Shiyin for the rest of her life, but she never said that she still has a biological sister!

Miss Yaoqin, you said that you are a relative of Gillian, you can't say this casually, you have to show evidence! ”

"On Shiyin's shoulder, there is a flame birthmark."

Yaoqin Says:

"I also have it, this is a special talisman of the Holy Maiden clan, and others can't disguise it if they want to.

My uncle didn't know about my mother, probably because my aunt wanted to protect my mother, after all, my mother's identity was much more sensitive than my aunt's. ”

"This is no small matter!"

The prodigal monk, who had not spoken, stood up, and he said to Yaoqin:

"Girl, go to the inner room of the hall, there is someone to serve, this birthmark thing, you must confirm it again!"

Before Yaoqin came, she guessed that there was such a thing, she didn't hesitate, turned around and went to the inner room, and not long after, an old lady of Lei Mansion was invited by Steward Zhao and also walked into the inner room.

In the hall, only Lei Ye, Lang Seng and Shen Qiu were left.

Lei Ye smoked a hookah silently, his chubby face was full of gloom, he glanced at Shen Qiu, and said:

"Virtuous nephew, you really gave our old Lei a hot potato!"

The monk here also pinched the Buddha beads and said meaningfully:

"Master Shen Qiu, you are also bold.

Since you know about my family's poetry, and dare to come to the door generously, aren't you afraid of me and Lei Lie, tie up Na Yaoqin and you, and send it to the holy volcano to avoid disaster for my family's poetry? ”

"Don't be afraid."

Shen Qiu took a sip of wine and said softly:

"As long as Lei Ye and the Master of Hatred have not lost their minds, they will not do this. As for the wisdom of the two, Shen has always been very confident. ”

The atmosphere between the three of them at the moment is really not harmonious.

"Shiyin still has relatives in the world, this is a great thing, Lei Ye has deep feelings for his deceased wife, and naturally he also has to love Wu Jiwu."

Shen Qiu put down his wine glass and said to Lei Ye and the prodigal monk:

"What's more, the Holy Fire Sect thief is already ready to move.

I believe that with Lei Ye's means, he naturally already knew that seven days ago, I had already done a battle with those thieves in Suzhou.

Fortunately, the Pure Yang Hero Dongfang Ce helped and killed a Holy Fire Sect Protector, but this was not all the people from the Holy Fire Sect, and the remaining people should still be in Luoyang.

Master Lei, Master of Hatred, we are now in the same boat, and Shen will not hide it.

We can work together on this.

If you want to protect Shiyin and another Yaoqin, it must not be difficult. ”

"You're talking about it easily!"

The monk still had the calm expression of the monk, he turned the Buddha beads and said to Shen Qiu:

"Lei Lie has worked hard for many years, and he has run this Luoyang like an iron bucket.

The poor monk traveled all over the world and tried his best to make friends with heroes, but even so, he didn't dare to speak wildly, and he would definitely be able to block the attack of the Holy Fire Sect.

The matter of Shiyin is already dangerous, if this Yaoqin participates again, we and the Holy Fire Sect will not die. ”

"Master's words are bad."

Shen Qiu shook his head, and he said:

"Could it be that if Yaoqin doesn't come, the two of them will have to find a way to appease the Holy Fire Sect?

Yaoqin told me that the Holy Fire Sect is secret, and Lei Ye himself must know it, no matter whether Yaoqin is or not, once the identity of Miss Shiyin is revealed, the old man will not give up.

Besides, I'm not just in trouble when I wait. ”

Shen Qiu took out the jade pendant of Wulong Villa and handed it to Lei Ye, who took it in his hand, looked at it repeatedly, and there was a touch of unexpected joy in his eyes, and he handed the jade pendant in his hand to the monk Lang.

The latter was held in his hand, and his complexion also changed slightly.

Shen Qiu glanced at the silent monk and said:

"I don't hide it from the two of you, my master, and the director of the Wulin League, Hao Daxia, have some past friends.

This jade pendant was originally a retreat left by Uncle Ren to me and Qingqing, but now the matter of Yaoqin has affected the two of them, so I will let this jade pendant out.

If something goes wrong, we can't resist the Holy Fire Sect thieves, and this is the last retreat for my family Qingqing, your family's Shiyin and Yaoqin.

Qingqing held a jade pendant in her hand and went to Jinling, so that the people around her could be protected.

Shen thought about it, the protection of this martial arts alliance leader was not much worse than that of Nirvana Temple, the two of them said, right? ”

The monk did not answer.

He made eye contact with Lei Ye, and after a few breaths, Lei Ye put down his cigarette pouch and said with a smile:

"The virtuous nephew is really well hidden, and there is still a relationship with the sky.

Now that the virtuous nephew has said this, the old man will not continue, it will be a little too ruthless.

You are right, if Yaoqin is really Gillian's relative, she is also my Lei Lie's relative.

I will protect my nephew's sweetheart like a poem. ”

"Lei Ye is wrong to say this."

Shen Qiu shook his head, and he said:

"I have no selfish relationship with Yaoqin, and I said it before, because Yaoqin has taken care of Qingqing since she was a child, and she has a great kindness with me and Qingqing, so I jumped into this pool of troubled water."

"That's a real surprise."

Lei Ye grinned a strange smile, and he said:

"You see, virtuous nephew, our old Lei wants to fight to the death with that Holy Fire Sect because Shiyin is my precious daughter.

It is not surprising that this father died desperately for his children.

But if you and Yaoqin, if you really have no selfish feelings as you said, why do you have to let yourself fall into this crisis situation?

Don't say anything to repay the favor.

Our old Lei also walked through the rivers and lakes when he was young.

I know that there is indeed a decent knight on this river and lake who promises a thousand dollars and repays his kindness.

But I don't look at my nephew too much, and I don't look too much like that dead-hearted, dead-eyed person.

If you say that you don't have any thoughts about me, Yaoqin's niece, then our old Lei's tricks will be dug up and lost. ”

The prodigal monk beside Lei Ye also bowed slightly.

The monk pronounced the Buddha's name and said to Shen Qiu:

"My Fair Lady, good gentleman, it's not a shame to love men and women in this world, Lord Shen, can't you pull your face?"

"Master, you are a monk, don't express your opinion on this kind of love between men and women."

Shen Qiu was a little embarrassed to be squeezed, and he scolded the prodigal monk, which made Lei Ye laugh.

The awkward relationship between him and the prodigal monk is naturally eager to see the prodigal monk lose face.

After laughing, Lei Ye took a sip of hookah and rubbed the jade pendant in his hand.

He said:

"This thing is good, but like the mustard monk of Nirvana Temple, it is a last resort, and only when we are defeated can we let Shiyin go these ways.

My old Lei can't bear to send his daughter to others and look up to others.

This matter, you have to plan a thing or two.

You and Yaoqin came just in time, and I and the monk Lang are worrying about one thing.

When you wait, this matter will naturally be solved. You had a fight with the Holy Fire Sect, and I waited for a while, and I wasn't idle, but something went wrong and it was a little troublesome.

And next, Lei, it depends on you Shen Qiu Daxia, the knife in your hand is not good. ”
