Yang Wuxian stepped forward, and without hesitation, walked to the bookshelves in the second row on the east side, and took out one of the booklets. Then I went to the bookshelf in the fourth row on the west side and took out another booklet. If you take eight books in succession, turn to one of the pages. Looking back, he said respectfully to Su Mengzhen: "Childe, the information of the eight thirteen murderers is here." ”

Su Mengzhen nodded. Then he made a "please" gesture to Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng was not polite, walked to the desk, picked up a book, and read: "Xue Hu Bei: The 'devil' among the 'four heavenly demons' in the martial arts." He is cunning, good at deceiving good and afraid of evil, good at fleeing for his life, and even good at cheating death. The commonly used weapon is an iron cane, and the cane method is strong and heavy, and it is strange and ethereal. Eighteen years ago, he had an embarrassment with three accomplices, including the 'Demon God' Chun Yuyang, the 'Demon Immortal' Lei Xiaoqu, and the 'Demon Girl', which was a disaster for the martial arts. was encircled and suppressed by the Dongbao, Nanzhai, Xizhen, and Beicheng of the four great families of martial arts, and the four heavenly demons were seriously injured and fled, and they hibernated for many years. Finally, five years ago, he came out of the mountain again, intending to take revenge on the four great families. However, he was arrested and intervened by the four famous people, and the three people including the Demon God, the Demon Immortal, and the Demon Gu and their henchmen have all been punished, leaving Xue Hu to flee without a trace. ”

Yang Wuxian smiled: "The words "I don't know where I am" can be erased from now on." Later, I will add a line of records below: I joined the thirteen murderers for some reason, participated in four bloody cases in Lin'an City one after another, and finally died under the fist of Chen Sheng, who 'cleared the clouds and opened the fog and paved the bloody road'. ”

Chen Sheng smiled slightly, put down this booklet, picked up another one, and read: "'Poisonous Hand Champion' Wu Shengxi, who is good at destroying souls with poisonous hands, can hurt people remotely in the air. Spicy hand scholar 'Wu Shengdong, the stunt is a spicy hand soul chasing dart, five steps after injuring people is fatal. The two are biological brothers, who rose to prominence in the Kanto region five years ago. They then ran rampant in all directions, and countless people died at his hands. Five years, another five years? ”

Su Mengzhen raised his eyebrows keenly, and then picked up a booklet, and said: "Guan Haiming: Nicknamed 'Big Mudra King Kong', he is known for his family heirloom King Kong Big Mudra, and he is a martial arts family in Shandong. The character is upright, so there are many enemies. Five years ago, seven opponents on Shandong Wulin Road teamed up to come to the door and wanted to pick Guanjiazhuang. These seven people had thoroughly studied the Guan family's Vajra Mudra in advance, and were confident that they could break it in thirty moves. Unexpectedly, after the move, the old man Guan suddenly used the black mudra and defeated the offender. Since then, the reputation has been higher, and no one dares to invade Guanjiazhuang. ”

Chen Sheng put down the book and said in a condensed voice: "I remember that after the thirteen murderers killed General Yang Cunzhong, Tang Xidu, the Yang family's worship master, once heard the conversation of the thirteen masters. One of them said, 'The leader ordered him to come down, and before the time came, he was not allowed to talk to each other or report his name to each other, otherwise he would not pay a penny, he would not be given a stunt, and he would be killed. It can be seen that the martial arts of the thirteen murderers, if they are either taught by the mastermind behind the scenes, they are also improved by them. And all of this must have happened about five years ago. ”

Su Mengzhen nodded, and picked up the information about the "Iron Umbrella Xiucai" Zhang Xuao, the "Tuxing Sun" Sun Bugong, the "People are Thousands of Miles, the Gun is in Front of You" Duguwei, and the Ghost Fu Sect Master Ouyang Jue and other four people to watch in detail, and found that they were all five years ago, and their martial arts suddenly improved by leaps and bounds. Su Mengzhen closed the book and muttered: "In this way, five years ago, it was time for the mastermind behind the scenes to start activities and organize the thirteen murderers. ”

Chen Sheng said in a condensed voice: "In the dialogue that Tang Xidu heard, two martial arts were mentioned. The three-zhang volley lock throat finger and the soul chasing moon knife. The person who used the volley lock throat finger was Ouyang Jue, the master of the Ghost Fu Gate. Then the remaining clue that can be traced is the Soul Chasing Moon Knife. Five years ago, could someone in the martial arts suddenly practice this stunt and use it to make a name for themselves in the rivers and lakes? ”

Su Mengzhen didn't answer, and instead set his eyes on Yang Wuxie. Yang Wuxian pondered for a moment and said, "The Soul Chasing Moon Knife is a secret weapon stunt. People who know how to practice are rare in the first place. As far as I know, in the past twenty years, only Leng Liuping, a copper-faced guest, has become famous for this technique. However, he has been famous for a long time, and he did not develop this skill only five years ago. That would not match the characteristics of the Thirteen Murderers. ”

Chen Sheng said: "No matter what, this is always a clue. As far as Chen knows, Leng Liuping never sees people with his true face, and always wears a bronze mask when he goes out. But such a mask, no matter who wears it, looks pretty much the same. In other words, whoever wears a bronze mask is Leng Liuping. So ......"

Su Mengzhen said: "Do you suspect that Leng Liuping, who became famous twenty years ago, is not the same person as Leng Liuping now?" Now this Leng Liuping is one of the thirteen murderers? ”

Chen Sheng nodded and said, "There is a possibility, and it is very likely." In any case, at least find out this Leng Liuping first. Master Su, you also saw the appearance of Marshal Yue's living room just now, right? That is, it was blown up by the copper-faced guest's hidden weapon 'Flying Crow from the Fire'. Although this kind of gunpowder concealment weapon is powerful, it is also very difficult to prepare. I believe that gunpowder is not a cabbage, you can buy it anywhere, right? ”

Su Mengzhen nodded and said, "Yes, this is a clue." Looking back, he instructed Yang Wuxie: "Wuxie, you order to go down and find someone to monitor the workshops and shops inside and outside the city. If anyone buys gunpowder or bulky goods such as sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal, etc., they will return it immediately. ”

Yang Wuxian agreed, hurriedly went down to the third floor, and released the news to the various institutions under the Golden Wind Drizzle Building through the carrier pigeon. Su Mengzhen said again: "Brother Chen, do you want to stay and wait for news?" ”

Chen Sheng shook his head and said, "Although there are clues, if you want to find out Leng Liuping based on this, I believe that there will be no news in a day or two." Chen is still a prisoner, and if he is seen appearing here, I am afraid it will not be good for Jinfeng Drizzle Building. Therefore, Chen retired for the time being. If the owner of Su Mansion has news, he can send someone to send the news to Marshal Yue Mansion in Yong'an. Chen will naturally know when the time comes. ”

――――

The Golden Wind Drizzle Building is not in Lin'an City, but on Tianquan Mountain outside the city. Tianquan on Tianquan Mountain is praised as the first spring in the world. In the Tianquan pool, there is also a tower, which only exposes half of the water surface, called Zhenhai Tower. This half-section of the tower is called "Zhonghai Limit Stone". Every time the water rises, the tower rises, and the water falls. It is said that this is because there is a golden dragon guarding it below, and as soon as the water grows, the golden dragon will carry it upward; As soon as the water fell, the golden dragon also sank down, forever plugging the sea eye, so the water flow could never submerge Lin'an City.

It is said that in the previous dynasty, there was an emperor who went out of the capital to parade. He came to live in the palace of Tianquan Mountain and heard the story of the golden dragon carrying the tower and the water. The emperor was curious for a moment and wanted to get to the bottom of it, so he called 20,000 workers, first blocked the waterway, and then dug all the way down, digging out a seven-story stone tower. Because it was expected that the structure of the stone tower should be nine floors, they ordered people to continue digging, but the craftsmen suddenly disobeyed the holy decree and would rather die than do it.

The emperor thought it was strange, so he went to inspect it himself, only to find that the tower was actually hewn out of a huge stone, and it was impossible for anyone to do it. And on the wall of the stone tower, there are two lines that I don't know who wrote down, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing iron painting silver hook sentence, writing: "Tianquan Mountain under the spring, the tower reveals the original body of the world."

When the emperor read these two sentences, he was naturally taken aback. Shen felt that it was not trivial, it was a matter of the country, of course, he would rather believe it than believe it. So he immediately ordered the craftsman to fill in the soil and cover the pit, keep the tower in its original state, and still let the water flood the tower body to protect the country.

These anecdotes were dismissed as absurd by the ministers of the court, or by many, and dismissed as dismissive. But among the people, the common people are fond of it. There is no doubt that Su Mengzhen also intends to know about this matter. So, did he create the Golden Wind Drizzle Building on Tianquan Mountain for the Jade Spring, or for the stone tower, or for the fourteen characters under the tower? Perhaps, the only one who can know the answer to this question is Su Mengzhen himself.

Chen Sheng walked down Tianquan Mountain, stood at the foot of the mountain and looked back, but saw that the blue, red, yellow and white fourth floor was towering, and a high tower in the middle stood facing the sky, like a sword out of the sheath pointing straight at the sky, a sense of arrogance and sharpness, and couldn't help but force people to come. Chen Sheng couldn't help but think about it. After a long silence, he finally sighed, flicked his sleeves, and turned away.

On Marshal Yue's side, there were Shen Luoyan, Bai Qing'er, Juque and other three people on his side. In addition, it was broad daylight, and it was expected that no matter how rampant the thirteen murderers were, they would not dare to commit murder during the day. Therefore, Yuefu is safe and worry-free for a while. And now that he came out, Chen Sheng didn't want to go back to Lin'an so soon. Thinking of the legend of the monk Jigong, I couldn't help but suddenly move You Xing and wanted to go to Lingyin Temple to worship. At the moment, he asked for the road, performed light skills, and galloped in the direction of Lingyin Temple.

Lingyin Temple is large in scale, quiet in environment, and beautiful and solemn in interior decoration. It is a rare quiet place in the glitzy world. At this time, it is not like the later generations, who work weekdays, and only have leisure to go out to play on a few limited holidays such as May Day, Eleventh, and New Year. But at these times, the scenic spots everywhere are crowded, but instead of looking at the scenery, they become looking at the heads. Therefore, although Lingyin Temple is large, there are not many tourists. Chen Sheng took a turn around and threw a few taels of silver as sesame oil money, and returned happy.

Leaving Lingyin Temple, I came to the West Lake again. Stroll on the white causeway, sit alone on the broken bridge, look at the depths of the lake and mountain, but see the bamboo and wood gloomy, green overlapping, not rain and moist, not smoke and dizzy, the mountain peaks are beautiful, and the cloud surface is upright. The mountains are like E, the flowers are like cheeks, the warm breeze is like wine, and the ripples are like silk. Sure enough, there is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. The scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou is very large, and the West Lake occupies eight of them.
