In the upper room of the inn, there is a table of eight immortals in the center, and hot tea is placed on the table. Zhao Zheng and Jiang Yong sat face to face, their expressions very solemn.

After three cups of tea, Zhao Zheng asked, "There are only you and me here, what can Hall Master Jiang say directly?" ”

"Our Wudang sect is waiting for you here, in fact, we have something to ask for, and I hope you can agree." Jiang Yongzheng said.

"The Wudang faction is a righteous giant, and the masters in the door are like carps crossing the river, how can they ask me for a nameless junior." Zhao Zheng wondered.

"It is true that there are many masters of the Wudang faction, but they can act on the rivers and lakes, and many things cannot be solved by force alone." Jiang Yong shook his head and said.

"Convince people with virtue?"

"Yes, convince people with virtue, if everything is done by force to make people submit, then the Wudang faction is no longer a righteous sect. What we are asking you to do this time is something that cannot be done by force. ”

"What's the matter?"

"We want to ask you to help someone ask him to answer a few questions from our Wudang faction."

"To whom do you intercede?"

"Tong Wanhua."

When Zhao Zheng heard that this matter was related to Tong Wanhua, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized why Jiang Yong and the others found him. He had just lived in Gongyi Village for so many days, and from the perspective of outsiders, he would definitely think that he had a good relationship with Tong Wanhua. It is estimated that Jiang Yong and the others must have hit a soft nail in Gongyi Village and failed to reach their goal, so they hit him with the idea and wanted him to help him beg Tong Wanhua.

He had just helped Tong Wanhua, and the two sides had some friendship, if it was a trivial matter. It was up to him to intercede. Tong Wanhua should be able to appreciate faces. But it can stump the affairs of the Wudang faction. And how can it be a small thing?

Not only is it not a small matter, but it is a very tricky big thing, which is why it takes so much effort and solemnity.

"Alas, Hall Master Jiang will tell me about it. I'll see if I can help. If I can help, I'll help. Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly.

"Here's how it happened......" Jiang Yong opened the conversation and told the whole cause and effect, starting with how the hall master was killed. It was talked about until he hit a wall in Gongyi Village with a short arrow. After saying this, he put the five murderous short arrows on the table, and the blood stains on them were still faintly visible, "This kind of blood feud, our Wudang faction must avenge it, no matter who the murderer is, we must find out at any cost." ”

"I deeply sympathize with your faction's misfortune and am willing to help. I have some friendship with Senior Tong, if I ask him. He's going to save face. However, he had previously claimed that he did not know the five short arrows. Maybe it's not a lie, it's the truth. Even if he admires his face, he may not provide any useful clues, and even make him unhappy, he is a person who hates people talking to him. After Zhao Zheng finished speaking, he was a little worried.

"If this incident causes the displeasure of the Tong seniors, our Wudang Sect will apologize on behalf of you, and we will not embarrass you. I hope you'll agree to my reluctant request to help you run an errand. Afterwards, our Wudang faction must be grateful. Jiang Yong stood up, lowered his figure, and bowed to Zhao Zhengshen.

"I can't help it, I can't help it, my predecessors killed me with this move." Zhao Zheng hurriedly flashed to the side, stepped forward and clasped his hands, "Senior don't need to say anything, this matter is wrapped up in me, I will turn around and go to Senior Tong, inform him of this matter, and ask him to help take a look at these short arrows." ”

"Then there is Lao Zhao Shaoxia." Jiang Yongxi said.

Zhao Zheng is thin-skinned and soft-eared, he really can't stand others begging him like this, so he takes this matter on his body. He also had important things to do, so he couldn't delay much, so he immediately got up to do it, and sent the shopkeeper to pass the news of the request to see him to Gongyi Village.

It is very cumbersome and cumbersome to send news back and forth like this, but this is the rule of the public loss village, even if they are in a hurry, it is useless, they can only do things according to the rules of the public loss village.

The shopkeeper went to go back quickly, and soon brought the news back, claiming that the public loss village had opened its door, waiting for Zhao Zheng to meet in the past.

Zhao Zheng and Jiang Yong set off together, arrived at the gate of Gongyi Village, and called the door open. Under the guidance of Tong Zi, the two of them finally arrived at the courtyard of the village after several turnovers and met Tong Wanhua himself.

Tong Wanhua originally greeted him with a smile, and thought that Zhao Zheng had left something, so he went and returned, but when he saw Jiang Yong beside Zhao Zheng, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

Zhao Zheng observed his words and expressions, and muttered in his heart: "Tong Wanhua's face changed as soon as she saw Jiang Yong, did the Wudang faction offend him before, or did she have another secret." ”

No matter what the two people who came to see were thinking in their hearts, they had to have a respectful attitude on the surface, and greeted Tong Wanhua together.

"What are you two visiting us?" Tong Wanhua asked expressionlessly.

"Senior Tong, I went and returned because I had something to ask you, and I hope you can tell me without hesitation." Zhao Zheng took out five killing short arrows and presented them with both hands, "You must still have an impression of this thing, and I won't repeat the cause and effect of this." I also hope that the seniors can look at my thin face, help palm the palm, open the golden mouth, and tell me about this hidden weapon. ”

"Zhao Zheng, this is a matter of the Wudang faction, what are you following blindly." Tong Wanhua said unhappily.

"Hall Master Jiang begged for me, and I had to help ask. This matter is about human life, if you know any clues, please let us know. Zhao Zheng pleaded.

Tong Wanhua picked up a killing short arrow from Zhao Zheng's hand, hesitated, and nodded: "Okay." For the sake of the old man you have helped, I will no longer hide it and tell you the truth. ”

Jiang Yong and Zhao Zheng were overjoyed when they heard this, and thanked Tong Wanhua again and again.

Tong Wanhua waved her hand to stop the two, and then sighed: "Jiang Yong, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but because I have some unspeakable secrets, which is really inconvenient to say." ”

"Senior, but it doesn't matter, if there is really any difficulty, our Wudang faction can help you solve it." Jiang Yong assured.

"What I said is unspeakable, and it is different from what you think." Tong Wanhua shook her head and said with a wry smile, "Actually, it's not someone else who created these five short arrows. It's my child! This is a hidden weapon created by me. I recognized it at a glance. But because I didn't want to get angry, I didn't know how to shirk it. ”

Jiang Yong's eyes rolled, and he suddenly realized: "It turns out that this hidden weapon was created by your predecessors, no wonder you were unwilling to tell the truth before." But seniors, don't worry, there is a debtor and a debtor, although the hidden weapon was created by you, but the person was not killed by you, and this matter has nothing to do with you. Our Wudang Sect will never pursue you. Just tell us who owns the artifact, and we'll follow that trail to keep going. ”

"I have more than one unspeakable secret, what I just said is only one of them, and there is another unspeakable secret." Tong Wanhua wanted to speak and stopped.

"If you have any difficulties with your predecessors, please feel free to tell me."

Tong Wanhua picked up the blood-stained short arrow, put it in front of him, and continued: "This hidden weapon was personally developed and designed by me two years ago, the name is 'Plum Blossom Arrow', after it is launched, it can shoot five short arrows at a time, and the five short arrows will form a pentagonal shape. The shape resembles a plum blossom, hence the name. This 'plum arrow' is very powerful. It has the power to open mountains and crack stones, and the size is very small and exquisite, only the size of a palm, which can be stuffed into a pocket. Due to the preciousness of the materials used to create this hidden weapon, I only made one at the beginning. After that, I couldn't put it down and played with it for a few days. ”

"One day not long after I created this 'Plum Arrow', I went to the warehouse, intending to take it out and fiddle with it, but I was dumbfounded when I got to the door. The door of the warehouse, which should have been closed tightly, was left open, proving that the warehouse was stolen. I was shocked, and hurriedly went in to check, and found that two of the three rooms in the warehouse were still locked, and there was nothing abnormal, but the door of one room was opened, and many hidden weapons were missing inside, including the 'plum blossom arrow'. It was a great shame for me that my village had always been known for its tight defenses, but it was stolen. This matter was only known to me and a few apprentices, and I never told anyone about it. ”

Tong Wanhua smiled bitterly, looked at Jiang Yong, and said: "This is my second unspeakable secret, the theft of the public loss village is really a shameful thing, I don't want to make a public announcement." The combination of these two unspeakable concealments caused me not to tell the truth before. ”

"I see, in this way, the murderer should be the thief who stole the plum blossom arrow, even if it is not him, it is also someone related to him. Dare to ask Senior Tong, after the theft, did you find any clues and figure out the identity of the thief? Jiang Yong asked.

"I don't need to investigate at all, the thief is very bold and has already written his identity clearly on the wall."

"Who is he so bold?" Jiang Yong said eagerly.

"On the wall of the stolen warehouse room, a crescent moon was painted." Tong Wanhua said in a deep voice.

"Crescent Moon ......" Jiang Yong's face changed drastically, and he lost his voice, "Could it be that the people from the Night Moon Gate stole the plum blossom arrow?" ”

Tong Wanhua nodded in reply, admitting Jiang Yong's guess.

Jiang Yong gasped, and Zhao Zheng next to him was also stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

The Night Moon Gate is one of the eight sects, but unlike other open-minded sects, this sect's whereabouts are very secretive and never show to the public. No one knows where the head rudder of this sect is, and no one knows who this sect has. This sect specializes in taking orders and killing people, whoever is willing to pay will be willing to help whoever kills, and the people are equivalent to killers!

Every time the case is completed, the people of the Night Moon Gate will draw a crescent moon with a pen on the wall, so as to announce to the world that the case was committed by the Night Moon Gate. This practice, along with the half-moon pattern, has become the symbol of the Night Moon Gate.

Not only the people of Yeyuemen, but also some people outside Yeyuemen, after committing crimes, in order to spread suspicion and clear up the relationship, they will also learn the methods of Yeyuemen's crimes, deliberately draw crescent moons on the wall, and plant the crime on Yeyuemen's head. There are not a few people who fish in troubled waters like this, which makes the blood debt on Yeyuemen even more.

Whether it's true or fake, all the cases with crescent patterns on the rivers and lakes add up, even if there are not 1,000, there are 800. Once the six doors see the crescent moon pattern left around the murder case, they will be so depressed that they can't eat for three days, because the night moon gate is too clever to kill people, and it often leaves no traces, and it is difficult to solve the case.

There are many people in the rivers and lakes who have a grudge against Yeyuemen, and they hate Yeyuemen so much that they itch their teeth. There was even a hero conference organized on the rivers and lakes, where multiple sects joined forces to fight against the Night Moon Gate. However, the operation was not successful, and it took a lot of effort. But he only killed two little minions who were suspected of being from the Night Moon Gate. I didn't even catch the backbone of the Night Moon Gate. Not to mention finding the helm of the Night Moon Gate.

The Night Moon Gate can stir up the rivers and lakes into a bloody storm, and naturally has to have the corresponding strength, and the killers in this sect are divided into several levels, in order of bronze killers, silver killers, gold medal killers and jade killers. The Bronze Killer is responsible for assassinating targets below the Four Heavens. The Silver Killer is responsible for assassinating targets below the Eight Heavens. The Gold Medal Killer is responsible for assassinating targets below the Ten Heavens.

As for the most powerful Jade Killer, that is, the head of the Night Moon Gate himself, he claims to have the strength to kill anyone in the world, even the Emperor!

The masters in the Night Moon Gate are like clouds, and they are good at hiding their whereabouts. With their ability, they do have the ability to infiltrate the public loss village and steal some of the hidden weapons. And this sect specializes in assassination, and after getting the plum blossom arrow, it will definitely be used for assassination targets, and it will not be kept as an ornament.

With these clues, it is almost certain that the hall master of the Wudang Sect was killed by the people of the Night Moon Sect.

But there are still some doubts about the whole thing.

"Since the people of the Night Moon Gate have the ability to infiltrate your warehouse, why don't you take away all the hidden weapons, but only some of them?" Zhao Zheng wondered.

"What he took away were some small and powerful hidden weapons, probably for easy portability. Those hidden weapons that are too big, he can't take them away even if he wants to. Tong Wanhua explained.

"In which room did he steal?"

"It's in room B. He couldn't open the doors of A and C's rooms, probably because he didn't peep into the way to open the door, so he didn't have the idea of hitting those two rooms. After all, the mechanism I laid is not a vegetarian, and if he doesn't know how to open the door forcibly, he will touch the mechanism. ”

"In this way, he must have been hiding in the shadows of the public loss village for a long time, and peeked at your opening process, so he can open the door of the warehouse when you are not in the warehouse." Zhao Zheng speculated.

"Yes, it should be." Tong Wanhua nodded, and then looked at Jiang Yong, "I have told you all the truth, this time I promise that there will be no concealment, as for how to investigate this matter in the future, it is your own business." ”

"Thank you Senior Tong for your help and informing me of such an important clue, tomorrow I will repair a letter to the door, and let the door send a generous gift to thank the senior." Jiang Yongqian thanked him.

"There is no need for generous gifts, as long as your family doesn't blame me for the plum blossom arrow."

"Where are the seniors, as I said before, there is a debtor and a debtor, this matter has nothing to do with you, even if the Wudang faction wants to settle the account, it has to go to the people of Yeyuemen to settle the account."

"Those bastards have stolen a lot of my precious secret weapons, if your sect can raze the Yeyue Gate, it can be regarded as an indirect breath of evil for me." Tong Wanhua raised her eyebrows.

This kind of thing is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, the Night Moon Gate is haunted, and its whereabouts are ethereal, even if you want to take revenge, you can't find anyone. Even if someone can be found, the killer of the Night Moon Gate is not so easy to deal with. If the Wudang Sect openly challenged the Night Moon Gate, it was still unknown who would suffer in the end.

Although the real murderer was found, Jiang Yong's face was not happy, because revenge became even more elusive. But regardless of whether the Wudang faction can take revenge or not, they have to thank Tong Wanhua for helping to provide clues, and Jiang Yong said thank you again. Tong Wanhua waved her hand, so that Jiang Yong didn't have to be verbose, as long as he promised not to spread the news of the theft of the public loss village. Jiang Yong and Zhao Zheng naturally agreed, swearing to the sky, and Tong Wanhua settled down.

All the questions that should be asked were asked, Jiang Yong and Zhao Zheng said goodbye to Tong Wanhua together and left Gongyi Village.

Walking on the road, Jiang Yong and Zhao Zheng both had their own concerns, and their faces were worried. Jiang Yong was naturally thinking about dealing with Yeyuemen, and Zhao Zheng was also thinking about things related to this.

Others don't know about the Night Moon Gate, but Zhao Zheng knows it clearly, he knows who the head of the Night Moon Gate is, and he also knows where the helm of the Night Moon Gate is. He had the heart to tell Jiang Yong about these things, but after thinking about it, he dispelled this idea again.

This matter is not trivial, and it involves a wide range of people, and once it is made public, it will inevitably cause a bloody storm. At that time, not only will he be implicated, but the entire rivers and lakes will also fall into a catastrophe, killing countless people.

Therefore, these things can't be said even if they are rotten in the stomach, and they can't affect so many people for the death of a Wudang sect hall master.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng completely dispelled his impulsive thoughts and no longer thought about the matter of Yeyuemen.

Not long after the two left, they returned to the inn near Gongyi Village, and the Wudang faction hurriedly greeted them and asked questions. The stakes are very high, Jiang Yong did not say it explicitly, but only claimed that he had asked for the result. Zhao Zheng fulfilled his responsibilities and wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Jiang Yong stopped him and pulled him into a room alone.

"Zhao Shaoxia, you have done the Wudang faction a great favor this time, and verbal thanks are not enough to express my gratitude, please accept this thank you gift." Jiang Yong said earnestly and handed something to Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng didn't even look at it, and hurriedly pushed the thank you gift away, refusing: "It's hard work, why worry about it, thank you or something." ”

"You've done me so much, if I don't show it, I'll have trouble sleeping in the future. This little gift is not a tribute, so you can accept it. I know that Zhao Shaoxia is high-spirited and will not covet those things outside your body, so I didn't prepare a valuable thank you gift, just prepared a small gift for you, which is not worth a few dollars. ”

Zhao Zheng glanced down at the gift in Jiang Yong's hand and found that it was a martial arts secret book, with the words "Wudang Fifteen Styles" written on it. (To be continued......)
