"Dare to show your sword in front of the old man?"

Several splashes were sweating profusely because they couldn't pull out their blades, but the hilt scabbard in their hands was like rooting, and it was pressed by the nameless big hands, and no matter how hard they tried, it was difficult to pull out a single bit.

They now seem to be carrying mountains on their backs, their waists and limbs have been gradually bent, and finally they are paralyzed to the ground, their pupils are dilated, their liver and gallbladder are split, and they no longer have the idea of doing anything.

Chu Lan's heart swayed, this seemingly crazy old beggar, just standing there, his invisible momentum was enough to defeat countless enemies.

Several big men trembled in their legs, and they had never encountered such a strange thing in their lives. Fishy fluid was already leaking from the crotch.

Yang Huan had a long mouth and clear eyes staring at the boss, and he was really surprised by the old man's methods.

Chu Lan looked at the emaciated back figure in front of him, and respectfully clenched his fists, "The kid has seen the seniors"

The old beggar slowly turned his head and looked at Chu Lan, he said, "Boy, you are good, the sword path is long and the night is long, but you must stick to cultivation, don't waste your talent"

Chu Lan replied respectfully, "The younger generation should follow the teachings of the seniors"

The old beggar's cloudy eyes glowed, and he looked at Chu Lan's lower abdomen, and he added, "There are a lot of interesting things in your body, but if you make good use of them, they won't become good things."

Chu Lan bowed and saluted, and the old man waved his hand.

The wind and sand rose in place, and several men sat on the ground, as if they had no souls.

The old beggar took a light step, and his qi was disordered like a snake, and the next moment he quickly regained his calm.

Chu Lan's eyes were in a trance, and the figure in place had disappeared.

A distant voice came, and it seemed very close.

"Boy, thank you for inviting me to drink today, if you can meet a person named Hongque in the future, you must tell the old man"

Chu Lan said loudly, "Remember, kid"

The sound was like a flower falling in a pool of water, and like a danqing falling on rice paper, it was slowly moved away and slowly faded.

"Everyone in the world is stupid, what is the difference between being drunk and waking up, thinking that they have merit and creation, can break through the vanity, and jump high, don't they still have to fall into the quagmire in this red dust? As everyone knows, heaven and earth are cages, and the ending of tens of thousands of years of pursuit is the truth or a lie? hahahaha"

Chu Lan stood in place stupidly, reminiscing about what this master said for a long time.

Small hidden in the forest, big hidden in the city, Chu Lan didn't expect that as soon as he entered the rivers and lakes, he would encounter so many strange anecdotes one after another, and he liked this river and lake a little.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that this place is not only interesting, but also dangerous, like a poisonous snake hidden in the dark, if you are not careful, you will be bitten.

Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend, and Chu Lan suffered a lot because of carelessness.

The sun had sunk in the west, and Chu Lan stayed here and did not continue to hurry.

He asked for an ordinary room, took out the yang chalcedony, and continued to refine, this pure fire essence qi was of great benefit to the body, and Chu Lan felt that his strength had increased a lot.

The liquid inside the Yang Yuan chalcedony slowly decreased, and the seventh crystal in Chu Lan's body grew, and the battle was indeed the best way to consolidate his cultivation, and now his strength in the early stage of the Spirit Wheel Seven Rank was basically stable.

The black lotus had already settled in his body, and although it was suppressed by the Blood Spilling Sword, he did not attack for the time being. But he didn't have anything to do, which made him feel uneasy, thinking of the old man's words, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and when he has the strength to control them, maybe for himself, these so-called evil things can't become his own hole cards.

The Yang Yuan Chalcedony Liquid was finally all absorbed by Chu Lan, and now it had turned into an ordinary Yang Yuan Jade Block, and the fiery liquid inside had dried up.

Chu Lan stood up and went out to ask Xiao Er for two jars of wine.

Lying on the bed, a glass of wine on his chest, the old man did not move for a long time, he was thinking about the old man's words: "Everyone in the world is stupid, but I am the only one who thinks first? Is this world really a scam?"

Outside the window, the clouds were thick, and the waning moon was no longer visible, and it gradually began to rain, as dense as the sky, and the lightning flashed wildly. Chu Lan casually lowered the window, his bed was not far from the window, if he didn't close it in time, it was estimated that he would be covered in water.

Today's sky is not quiet, and Xuanhua City is not quiet either.

The most heavily guarded Xuanhua City Mansion was stolen, and a large number of treasures suddenly disappeared without a trace.

It was the goods escorted by the Longyuan Dart Bureau, which were the real money and silver that the lord of Xuanhua Mansion had looted in various places. The value is unimaginable.

The first to discover the abnormality was Fan Wenxing, he almost broke out a war with the red-clothed man during the day, he thought that he could rest assured when he entered the Xuanhua Mansion, but what he didn't expect was that when he pushed open the door of the warehouse, there was a red-clothed man sitting on the box in the middle of the embroidery.

The strength of Fan Wenxing's spirit wheel nine pins, and his swordsmanship are also extremely sharp, and the sword has not yet been completely unsheathed, and it has already darkened in front of him.

The man in red shot too fast, and his grasp of strength was even more extreme, and the tools for women's embroidery at all became a magic weapon in his hands that made the heroes of the rivers and lakes frightened.

When he was found, his eyes had been blinded, the jewels in the warehouse had been looted, all the boxes were wide open, and an embroidered shoe remained in its place.

There is also a brightly colored peony on the embroidered shoe.

In two days, there were more than a dozen red-clothed thieves, and there was an embroidered shoe in the same place, and there were no other clues.

Chu Lan has been staying in the tavern for the past two days, preparing to leave here tomorrow to find an opportunity. To be honest, he was reluctant to leave, and the appearance of the red-clothed thief made waves in this originally peaceful Xuanhua Mansion one after another.

That night, the little girl Yang Huan led a middle-aged man to Chu Lan's room.

The visitor's eyes were shining, his face was yellow, his nose was hooked, and he had two strands of beard on his chin. Big-bellied and wearing a voluminous robe. The workmanship is exquisite, and the price is expensive at first glance.

His people must have been as shrewd as he looked.

Yang Huan introduced to Chu Lan, "Boy, this is my father, a friend of the Xuanhua City Lord, and I want you to help investigate the case."

The shrewd fat man smiled and said, "Little brother, I'm Yang Husheng, I really have something to ask for"

Chu Lan took the wine glass on his chest and put it on the round table next to him, and hugged his fists, "Long Yang, it's just that the kid's skills are shallow, and he doesn't have any experience involved, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much."

Under normal circumstances, he didn't want to deal with this kind of person.

"The little brother is too modest, and the little girl has already told me everything"

Yang Huan looked at Chu Lan, grabbed her eyelids with her fingers, and made a grimace, she said

"Don't pretend, although your kung fu is not as good as the mud monkey, but when you stood in front of me that day, I felt cold, you are definitely not an ordinary person"

Yang Husheng did not speak, but motioned for Chu Lan to sit down first, and then picked up the wine jar and poured him a glass of wine.

"Little brother, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I've invited you for your expenses these days, brother, I'll toast you with a glass of wine first, you may be interested after listening to me"

After Yang Husheng finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup, out of the morality of the rivers and lakes, Chu Lan had to drink this cup of wine, and if he didn't drink it, he wouldn't give the other party a face.

Chu Lan's face was as pale as water, and he drank the wine in front of him. He still has enough money on him, but he doesn't care if the other party pays for it.

"Hehe, little brother, have you heard of the red-clothed thief recently?"

Chu Lan nodded, "Is it the strange person who leaves a shoe in place every time he commits a crime?"

"That's right, it's not a secret, this time I just want the little brother to help hunt down this person!"

"There are so many masters of martial arts in Xuanhua Mansion, Brother Hu thinks I'm better than them?"

"It's not a star and a half that is strong"

"What do you mean by that?"

"With the great sword behind your back, there is only one in this world!"

Chu Lan thought to herself that Yang Huan should have told his father everything that happened at that time.

didn't speak, just knocked on the table, his mind was spinning, it seems that this matter must be difficult to deal with, otherwise Yang Husheng would not have come to the door.

Seeing that Chu Lan didn't speak, Yang Husheng continued, "Little brother may have heard that the Xuanhua City Lord is my friend, and Fan Wenxing, the leader of his guards, has been poisoned by the red-clothed thieves. ”

"So you're sure I'm going to get involved in this, and I'm going to help you catch the killer?"

Yang Husheng smiled, turned his head and motioned for the little girl to go out first.

After Yang Huan reluctantly went out, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, little brother, I won't let you work in vain, the city lord of Xuanhua recently got a broken map, which is said to be the tomb of a former holy Dao powerhouse, and the things in it are estimated that the little brother will like it."

Chu Lan frowned, this temptation was too great. He pondered for a moment, then stopped tapping his fingers.

"Are you sure that no one else knows the location of this tomb?"

"Absolutely nothing"

"Okay, I did this errand"

Yang Husheng exhaled quietly, in fact, whether he could impress this swordsman, he didn't know the bottom in his heart.

Stretched out his hand and shook Chu Lan, he smiled and said, "Okay, I wish the little brother a victory in advance, then you rest first, and see you in Xuanle Mansion tomorrow."

Chu Lan sent Yang Husheng away, his hands pillowed behind his head, there was still a wine glass on his chest, and the rain outside the window had stopped.

He opened the window, and the cool breath came to his face. I suddenly felt a little regretful, but I was still involved in this matter.

From the very beginning when Yang Husheng walked into the house, he lured Chu Lan into the bait little by little.

From the moment he drank that wine, he was destined not to get out perfectly.

He really doesn't like people like Yang Husheng, and it feels really bad to be led by the nose all the time, so he realizes that he is still too tender.

In front of the real old oilman, the other party will set up a game casually, and he will be willing to get into it, and it is too late to regret it.

Since I decided to intervene in this matter, I just hope that this matter will be somewhere else.

The next day, at the end of the day, Xuanhua City, Chu Lan arrived as promised.
