When the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month is ugly, the Yunzhou Mansion is still brightly lit.

This year's snow not only came early, the momentum is also amazing, the snow has been flying endlessly in three days, crushing a lot of old houses, and also sealing the access roads of several counties, Jiangcheng as the state city of Yunzhou, although it has not suffered from the snow disaster, but has to take on the heavy responsibility of coordinating the rescue, so the fight has been since last night, the voice of the people in the government has not been interrupted.

However, countless people were too busy to get dazed, but not a single official or servant made it through the nave and into the backyard.

Compared with the people coming and going in the front yard, the backyard seems to be much quieter, twenty-eight guards with knives guard the four corners, there are many people standing in the courtyard, they are all around a long case of sour branches and wood, on which the layout of the city is spread, as large as the military camp of the government, as small as the inn laneway, the whole city is divided and listed, even an insignificant small noodle restaurant can find its own mark on it.

The girl in the white dress stood beside the long case, she was not tall enough, she had to step on her feet to look at the picture carefully, the charcoal pen dyed two jade-like fingers into a small piece of black and gray, but she didn't care, the eyes under the fox mask were as bright as stars.

Yu Wufang stood behind her, her eyes swept over the places circled by charcoal one by one, the East City Gate, the North and South Inn, Zhong Chuhe and other places gradually connected into a line, and she said, "Are you calculating Xue Hongbi's hiding place?" ”

"yes." Gu Shooting Immortal sighed and said, "Although Old Demon Fu is dead, he died too simply, and he didn't even leave us with a corpse, isn't this clue only left with that kid?" ”

"Do you have eyebrows?"

"He didn't flee after leaving the North and South Inn, but turned back to Zhong Chu River, and according to the distance and distance, Fang Yongyan was hidden near the North and South Inn by him, so that the Wulin League suffered the loss of the darkness under the lamp." After a pause, Gu Shooting Immortal's eyes lit up slightly, "The place where Fu Lao Mo died was destroyed by a punch, calculate the time, I'm afraid he was already there when the battle was in full swing, but he was able to hide benevolence, and you didn't find out." When you leave, if he doesn't want to die, he can only abandon the avenue and take the path, there is a dark river to the west of the grove, as long as he is good at water, it is not difficult to return to Midtown from here before dawn, but he has to bring the upper Yong as a talisman, and now the wind is tight, and he can't go far in a day. ”

"I have one more clue here." Wang Chengjiao, the leader of the beggar gang, glanced at the layout map, "There are many restaurants and inns on the street where the north and south inns are located, the most inner one is called Fulin Inn, the shopkeeper is old and shallow, and he vaguely heard a little movement in the backyard last night, thinking it was a night owl, but when he went to the cellar to move the vegetable jar this afternoon, he found that the lock was picked, but he didn't lose anything, but found an old quilt, thinking that someone sneaked into it last night to live and stay. ”

Hearing this, Fang Huaiyuan immediately looked over and asked in a deep voice: "If my son had been hidden there, and Xue Hongbi returned to the city after dawn, how could he take people away in broad daylight?" ”

"It's a cellar for storing vegetables, so of course it's best to dress up as a vegetable vendor." Wang Chengjiao recalled, "The proprietress of the inn said that there was a seller coming to deliver the food this morning, and the guy looked shy, she gave two more copper plates, and the other party helped her move the vegetables to the cellar, and she didn't follow when there were guests in the lobby." ”

"I'm afraid it's him." Gu Shuxian didn't know what she thought, and her tone was filled with joy, "It's really a little clever." ”

She was like a gluttonous cat staring at a mouse, Fang Huaiyuan didn't have the heart to think much about it as a father, and asked Wang Chengjiao a few more questions, but unfortunately Xue Hongbi was vigilant, and after taking Fang Yongyan away, she changed her identity three times, and she also went around the street a few times, and the beggar disciples couldn't catch his little tail, and there were no more clues to his whereabouts for the time being.

Gu Shooting Immortal listened to their conversation and was silent.

"This time to kill Fu Yuanyu, the master of Bushan should be the first to take the lead, and the master of the Fang Alliance is also indispensable."

Seeing that the scene was quiet, Zhou Jiangyun, who had always been silent, finally spoke, he rarely wore a blood-red robe today, but changed into a black robe, and the big coat on his shoulders was also black, and the whole person was almost hidden in the night, and he didn't see color or smell alive.

Although the Replenishing Heaven Sect wanted to snow the shame of Nanyang City, and took the initiative to cooperate, it was blocked back by Gu Shooting Immortal, but fortunately, she knew that everything was too much, although Yan Quan had a close relationship with the Replenishing Heaven Sect, in the end, everything was empty, she gave a stick and a jujube, Fu Yuanyu had just died, and he personally went out of the city to welcome the people from the Replenishing Heaven Sect.

Unexpectedly, this time it was not only the elder Lu Wugui who came, but also the sect leader Zhou Jiangyun.

Liyujiang lost the first battle, Zhou Jiangyun can be regarded as losing his wife and soldiers, and his internal injuries were recuperated for two or three months, his face was still terrifyingly pale, and when he walked to the bank of the Zhongchu River, he watched the servants and sailors brave the wind and snow to salvage the fragments of the building ship and the remains of the dead, and finally failed to catch Fu Yuanyu's body, and his already pale face was even more colorless.

Fu Yuanyu never showed mercy, the battle of the Martial Arts League lost a lot of people, less than half of the corpses recovered, and the rest of the people were wiped out in the sea of fire with the old demon, and they wanted to come to the Nine Shadows Yellow Spring, and they were also endless.

At this time, hearing Zhou Jiangyun's praise, Fang Huaiyuan did not have the slightest emotion on his face, and said lukewarmly: "It's just a fluke." ”

"In any case, the fact that Fu Yuanyu is dead can't be faked." Zhou Jiangyun hooked his lips and poured out a line of scarlet, "The Heaven Repair Sect has a word first, whoever can take his life, Zhou will give half of the "Heaven Interception Gong" in his hand as a reward, these words are witnessed by both black and white, and now it is time to fulfill the promise." ”

After saying that, he clapped his hands lightly, and Lu Wugui stepped forward with a brocade box, inside which was a booklet, each page was made of the cowhide of a newborn calf, and there was no yellowing and decay so far.

"According to the rules, the half volume of "Intercepting the Heavenly Gong" handed over should be a rubbing, but unfortunately, whether it is the master of Bushan or the master of the Fang Alliance, they are not people in my demon path, if they make a mistake in practicing with the rubbing, others will also say that I Zhou Jiangyun is cheating and deliberately setting a trap to harm people." Zhou Jiangyun looked at Fang Huaiyuan, "Now that the Bushan Lord has left without disdainful remuneration, I will hand over the original to the Fang Alliance Leader, and I want to use the character of the Fang Alliance Master to do something to leak my sect's secret method...... Of course, if the Fang Alliance Master changes his mind one day, the promise attached to this exercise will still be valid. ”

The so-called promise attached to the exercises, naturally refers to the provision that "those who practice the "Heaven Interception Gong" must be the master of the Heaven Repair Sect".

However, Zhou Jiangyun said this promise to Fang Huaiyuan, which seemed a little ironic.

Xie Ange frowned, Jiang Tianyang was even more angry, seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, Fang Huaiyuan had already taken the brocade box, closed it directly without looking at it, and said: "Since Sect Master Zhou keeps his promise, Fang Mou will do what he says, this Yin Book of "Intercepting the Sky" will be sealed in the Wulin League from now on, if it is not for the four heads of the sect to write an oath as a guarantee, no matter whether the identity of the people in the same path is respectful, they are not allowed to practice this skill, otherwise they will be expelled from the Wulin League and will be a traitor to the White Dao." ”

After experiencing the battle of Zhong Chuhe and seeing Fu Yuanyu's powerful cruelty, no one dared to underestimate the power of "Heaven Interception Gong", Fang Huaiyuan would not refuse the opportunity to master this power, but he would not allow it to be used by wanton cultivation, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Rao is Zhou Jiangyun didn't expect Fang Huaiyuan to make such a decision in just a moment, his eyes flashed, and he smiled a little sincerely, and said, "The leader of the Fang Alliance is really righteous. ”

After a pause, Zhou Jiangyun looked at the expressionless Yu Wufang, raised his hand and saluted, and said, "Uncle Yu, I haven't seen you for many years, but are you okay?" ”

Although Yu Wufang was a subordinate of Fu Yuanyu at the beginning, he was once regarded as the heir of the Mending Heaven Sect, and even the Yin Book of "Intercepting the Heavenly Gong" was taught to her early, saying that it was a substitute for his father to accept apprentices, and the two were both master servants and senior brothers and sisters, Zhou Jiangyun was a disciple of Fu Yuanyu, and it was natural for her to call her "uncle", and he had asked her for advice, but unfortunately Yu Wufang later betrayed the Mending Heaven Sect, and Zhou Jiangyun became the new sect master.

Sure enough, Yu Wufang took half a step sideways to accept his salute, and said indifferently: "Very good, it would be better if I didn't see you." ”

"Uncle Shi doesn't want to see me, I can keep Uncle Shi in my heart for the past eighteen years." Zhou Jiangyun sighed lightly, "After all, although Uncle Shi and him have cleared up, he still owes the Heaven Replenishing Sect one thing that has not been returned." ”

Jade Flawless Lips Hooked Like a Crescent Moon: "Do you want me to return this body of martial arts?" ”

Even if he was Fu Yuanyu's preferred heir, it was a sure thing that Yu Wufeng would betray the Heaven Replenishing Sect, and it was reasonable for Zhou Jiangyun to ask her for a body of Heavenly Strength, but he just smiled and said: "Uncle Shi doesn't have to be like this, Fu Yuanyu is already a traitor to the Heaven Replenishing Heaven Sect, and you were forced by him to leave at the beginning, and now if you want to return to the Heaven Replenishing Heaven Sect, it is just a matter of your words." ”

"Oh?" Jade Wufang raised his eyebrows, "You're going to recruit me?" ”

Zhou Jiangyun said: "Like a romantic person like Uncle Shi, my nephew can't bear to let you be in the dust." ”

"Then you don't have to worry about Sect Master Zhou."

Without waiting for Yu Wufang to reply, a silver bell-like laughter sounded, Gu Shuxian threw a charcoal pen and jumped off the foot, walked to Yu Wuxian and held her hand, and said angrily: "Yu senior and my mother are old friends, this time out of the mountain has reached an agreement with Tingyu Pavilion, in the future, he will be the owner of the Jade Mansion of the Shocking Wind Building, isn't it thousands of times better than returning to the sad old land?" ”

Zhou Jiangyun was stunned for a moment, Fang Huaiyuan's face changed slightly, they looked at Yu Wufang at the same time, but saw her bending down and hugging Gu Shexian, at first glance, it looked like a mother and daughter.

"Since that's the case......" Zhou Jiangyun weighed the pros and cons only in an instant, poured a cup of tea with his own hands and handed it over, and said with a smile, "My nephew replaces wine with tea, and I wish my uncle a bright future." ”

This time, Yu Wufang didn't avoid it again, took the teacup with his free hand, and drank it all with his head up.

A battle between the open and the dark disappeared invisibly, and the atmosphere in the backyard was also relaxed, Gu Shuxian saw that everyone's faces were relaxed, patted Yu Flawless Arm and asked her to put herself down, and her fingers fell on the layout map, which happened to be the place where Liu Yidao was attacked last night.

"Once the private matter is over, let's get down to business." Her voice was still soft and beautiful, but her tone changed from spring breeze to winter snow in an instant, "Last night, because the battle of the Zhong Chu River was about to start, the leader of the Fang Alliance sent someone to escort Xue Hongbi back to the North and South Inn for temporary detention, but the person in charge of guarding it had an accident one after another, and the three Mei Gu in front of him used vigilante to ask about "Intercepting the Sky" and had been taken down, and after torture, it was learned that they were improvised intentions, and it was already determined that Xue Hongbi deliberately did it, provoking them to do it in an attempt to find an opportunity to escape, but unfortunately this matter was broken by Liu Yidao, Xue Hongbi left the firewood room and was personally taken care of by Liu Yidao, thus eliminating the opportunity for others to interfere. ”

"Liu Yidao is an old man who has followed me for decades, he has no covetousness for "Intercepting the Sky", and he has a broken arm enmity with Fu Yuanyu, and it is impossible to let his righteous son escape." Fang Huaiyuan's face was gloomy, "He was originally in the room, but he was led away when he was ugly, and he was attacked halfway and was in danger of accidents...... The man said that he was ordered by my eldest disciple Zhan Yu to invite Liu Yidao to come to the mansion, and he also took out the token I gave to Zhan Yu, but Zhan Yu proved that there was no such thing, and the token was still on him, and everyone who accompanied him could testify to it. ”

"A fake token can deceive the henchmen who have followed the leader of the Fang Alliance for many years, and the person who made the counterfeit must know everything about the Wulin Alliance, but unfortunately the token can't find out the clues, and the relevant people and others have no living mouth." Gu Shooting Immortal looked around at everyone, "What do you think?" ”

"The other party has gone to such great lengths to create a chance for Xue Hongbi to escape, and there are two possibilities, one is someone who wants to save him, and the other is someone who wants to get something from him." Yu Wufang slowly spoke, "On the first day I came to Jiangcheng, I first killed Nong Niang, and then issued an order in her name to uproot the forces that might help Fu Yuanyu, these people can only be foreign enemies. If it is the former, there is a high possibility of the remnants of the Nine Palaces, and if it is the latter, it ......"

She looked at Zhou Jiangyun, her red lips were like blood splattered with red flowers: "Sect Master Zhou, what do you think is the most valuable thing about Xue Hongbi?" ”

In addition to the clues of the Nine Palaces Flying Star, the most precious thing on Xue Hongbi's body is naturally "Heaven Interception Gong".

Yu Wuflaw and Zhou Jiangyun have only learned the Yin Book, Fu Yuanyu destroyed the Yang Book before escaping from Wahuang Peak, and he himself is the only person in the world who knows the entire "Heaven Interception Gong", and now that he is dead, the most likely person to inherit this secret book is Xue Hongbi.

Yu Wufang has neglected martial arts over the years, and is still stagnant in the eighth realm, but Zhou Jiangyun is in his position, and if he can't go any further, he will die without a place to be buried, and he has practiced to the ninth level as early as four years ago, but he has not yet broken through the bottleneck to reach the tenth realm, and the secret of how to complete this last step is probably in the Yang Book, and he will never let it go.

In the same way, the Martial Arts League has been suppressed by Fu Yuanyun for more than ten years, and Fang Huaiyuan will never allow Zhou Jiangyun to become the second Fu Yuanyu.

Therefore, although Yu Wufang's sentence is a smile, it is tantamount to a straight point.

However, Zhou Jiangyun didn't see the slightest weakness in his heart, and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi said that he was joking, I do want the Yang Book of "Intercepting Heaven Gong", and regardless of whether Xue Hongbi got it or not, just talking about the twelve years of friendship between Mending Heaven Sect and Tingyu Pavilion, when he is handed over to Tingyu Pavilion, if I want to get a secret book, I think that the Lord of Xiao Pavilion will sell this face, why do this thing of hiding his head and showing his tail?" ”

"I see, I've been away from the rivers and lakes for 12 years, and I really don't know much about some things." Yu Wufang punished himself with a glass of water and wine, and shook his head with a light smile, "After all, when Fu Yuanyu accepted you as a disciple to pass on your Yin Book, you were still grateful and suspicious on your face, who would have thought that there would be someone in this world who would be trusted by you wholeheartedly?" Thinking about it this way, the Lord of Xiao Pavilion should be a heroic figure in the world, and I can't wait to see it as soon as possible. ”

If you talk about martial arts, Yu Wufeng is no longer Zhou Jiangyun's opponent, but if you compare words, ten Zhou Jiangyun can't compare to Yu Wufang.

Heaven and Earth Monarch Prince, a person who even betrayed his master will believe in a collaborator, especially that person with his back to the imperial court, although he has the same interests at the moment, it is inevitable that one day he will not break up, and he hopes that the martial arts related to his life will be honest with the other party, maybe someone will do it, but that person is by no means Zhou Jiangyun.

Everyone knows these twists and turns, and Zhou Jiangyun is not easy to respond at all.

So, he wisely chose to avoid answering, and only smiled at Yu Wufang.

Fang Huaiyuan and the others in the Martial Arts Alliance were happy to see them biting each other, and Gu Shuxian had no choice but to stand up and play a round, and said: "No matter where these people come from, as long as Xue Hongbi is still in Jiangcheng for a day, their goal will not be achieved, and they will definitely act again before us, and the top priority is to find Xue Hongbi first." ”

She picked up the charcoal again, recalled the clues, pondered for a moment and scratched a few places, and finally circled two areas, and said: "He has to find those remote and few places, either to the west or to the north, on both sides of the side is Lu Zuo, and on the other side there is a cemetery, both of which are good places to hide." ”

Wang Chengjiao looked at the drawings carefully, pointed to the piece of land in the north of the city, and said: "There is a Yizhuang here, which has not been searched." ”
