Later, when they went to Hongmei Villa, Meng Xiuyuan and Song Qingshu checked into the guest room under the warm hospitality of the housekeeper.

This Hongmei Villa occupies a large area, the houses are exquisite, the rooms are brilliantly furnished, and the couches and chairs are supplemented by brocade upholstery, and the eyes are full of luxury.

Anyone who reads it can't help but admire, it's really a rich family.

That Song Qingshu grew up on Wudang Mountain when he was a child, and he just walked down the mountain twice, so his knowledge is not broad, and he can't help but be a little surprised.

Seeing that there was no one around him, he didn't feel ashamed, and bluntly said to Meng Xiuyuan that he sighed in his heart:

"Uncle Junior, have you seen that the butler who entertained us just now was wearing silk and satin, and the maid was wearing gold bracelets.

This is more expensive than the old man and young lady of other people, who still look at gold.

The Zhu family of Hongmei Villa is really rich......"

Meng Xiu saw his appearance of a dirt bun, but he didn't say anything about him, after all, he didn't blame Song Qingshu.

Although the Wudang faction is now the largest faction in the rivers and lakes, because it has just been established for decades and is affected by the personality of its master Zhang Sanfeng, the entire sect is indeed not as rich as Shaolin in terms of money.

There are many examples of this in the original work, so in order not to be verbose, I will not list them one by one here.

only said that Zhang Wuji, in the original book, after he arrived at this Hongmei Villa, his performance was not as good as Song Qingshu at this time, and he actually recognized the eldest girl in other people's homes as a young lady, and made a lot of jokes, so that he finally sighed "I never dreamed that there are such rich people in the world".

Meng Xiuyuan originally wanted to explain to Song Qingshu the purpose of coming to Hongmei Villa, and asked him to help secretly investigate what the Zhu family had done.

But at this moment, the voice of the maid came from outside the door, saying that her master Zhu Changling had something to do and wanted to invite Meng Xiuyuan and the two distinguished guests to go.

Meng Xiuyuan and the others were led by her, through several halls and corridors, and came to a hall outside, only to see the words "Mastiff Camp" written on the flat forehead of the hall.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, and when I looked inside, I saw the corpses of more than two dozen mighty and strong dogs lying on the ground.

Seeing that in the hall, Zhu Changling had been waiting for the two of them for more than a long time, Zhu Jiuzhen knelt beside him, lowering his head and not being able to see his face clearly.

Seeing this situation, Meng Xiuyuan understood in his heart that this Zhu Changling wanted to sing a bitter trick.

Sure enough, as he expected, Zhu Changling first said something like "The family is unfortunate that there is such an unscrupulous girl", "I blame me for neglecting the child, it's really too late to regret it", which seemed very sad.

Then he opened his mouth and pleaded, asking Meng Xiuyuan and Song Qingshu, two "chivalrous and courageous young heroes", to help discipline his daughter more, if it is not too troublesome, the young people will be closer to each other, so that they can get rid of the bad problem of arrogance.

In this regard, Meng Xiuyuan did not refuse, but happily agreed.

After all, he didn't come alone, with such a good teacher and nephew as Song Qingshu by his side, troublesome things could be pushed for him to do, and it could be regarded as giving him exercise.

So, since this day, Zhu Jiuzhen has come to Meng Xiuyuan and the others from time to time. The reasons are different, sometimes they invite them to enjoy the flowers, and sometimes they want to ask the two to guide her to practice martial arts.

Every time, Meng Xiuyuan excused himself on the pretext of something, and only asked Song Qingshu to accompany her.

At first, Song Qingshu was still a little shy, but after a little more times, he soon stopped being reserved, but looked like he was enjoying it.

It is often early in the morning that the two of them go out to play together, and it is not until after dinner in the evening that this Song Qingshu returns with a look of unfinished business, sitting there from time to time and smirking at the air.

Seeing this situation, Meng Xiuyuan also knew that this stupid boy had been planted in the hands of other girls, so he dismissed letting him help investigate the matter of this Hongmei Villa, and only let him get along with Zhu Jiu for the truth.

I thought to myself, this trip to Hongmei Villa can be regarded as special training for Song Qingshu.

In the original book, the reason why Song Qingshu didn't want to have a good future and had to go to be a licking dog for the head of Zhou, Meng Xiuyuan felt that a big reason was because this kid grew up on Wudang Mountain and had never seen any beautiful girls.

Now that both of them are only eighteen or nineteen years old, it is the time when the blood is strong and the spring heart is budding, and it will be a good thing for him to let such a "bad woman" as Zhu Jiuzhen temper Song Qingshu in the future.

As for Meng Xiuyuan himself, he was naturally not interested in this, and all he was thinking about now was how to find "Jiuyang Divine Skill".

After that, Meng Xiuyuan would leave Hongmei Villa every morning and return in the evening on the grounds of "understanding nature and refining martial arts".

During this period, he was naturally looking for the "snow valley" mentioned in the original book.

For this reason, he first followed the description of the books in his memory, and after several searches, he found the "refuge" where Zhu Changling temporarily lived in the original book after he burned down Hongmei Villa in order to deceive Zhang Wuji.

This refuge was about twenty or thirty miles from Hongmei Villa, and it was necessary to turn two peaks and enter a valley before the four or five huts could be seen.

Then, with these huts as the center, Meng Xiuyuan began to search the surrounding peaks and canyons.

Although Zhang Wuji was cold and poisonous in the book, and he couldn't run far in one night, he was in the Kunlun Mountains, surrounded by towering peaks, and there was no difference between them.

Therefore, it is really a laborious task to find a book that records the cave and the snow valley.

Meng Xiuyuan knew that it was useless to be in a hurry in this matter, so he calmed down and searched carefully little by little every day.

……

In this way, more than a week passed, and early one morning, Meng Xiuyuan had breakfast and just wanted to leave Hongmei Villa, but he didn't expect Zhu Changling to wait in front of his door and block him at the door of the guest room.

"Master Zhu, what are you ......" Meng Xiu was a little puzzled when he saw this.

That Zhu Changling didn't explain much, only a look of grief on his face, and begged to delay Meng Xiuyuan for a while and go with him.

Although Meng Xiuyuan didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, he had no reason to refuse, so he simply agreed.

So this Zhu Changling took Meng Xiuyuan around a few corridors, arrived in front of an independent room, opened the door, and saw that there was a spiritual seat in it.

The candle had a high fever, and the spirit card read "Brother Zhang Gong's Spiritual Position of Shao'an".

At this point, Zhu Changling said slowly:

"Meng Shaoxia, I'm really sorry to delay your practice.

It's just that today happens to be the death day of my brother-in-law Zhang Shao'an, and you killed the vampire demon with your own hands and avenged him, so I want to invite you to come and see him.

When the time comes, he will know who is his great benefactor......"

Zhu Changling said that at this time, his voice was already a little choked.

Meng Xiu saw that he said this, although he knew that he was acting, he couldn't help but admire his dedication in his heart, so he had to nod in agreement.

Then Zhu Changling took his wife and daughter to worship the so-called righteous brother, and everyone knelt on the ground, crying and mourning, looking sincere.

Zhu Changling babbled a lot of things in front of the spiritual seat, including how he received He Taichong's invitation a few days ago, learned of Wei Yixiao's traces, how he wanted to kill Wei Yixiao but couldn't fight him, and how Meng Xiuyuan suddenly descended from the sky and killed the Blue Winged Bat King in the end.

The key point is that Zhang Shao'an must know and thank Meng Xiuyuan for his kindness.

After a long time, after the worship, Zhu Changling's wife and daughter retreated, and only Meng Xiuyuan and Zhu Changling were left in this house.

That Zhu Changling's eyes were already red at this time, and his voice was hoarse, he first bowed deeply to Meng Xiuyuan, and then said slowly:

"Although my brother is not related to me by blood, to me, he is more intimate than flesh and blood.

Not long after Zhen'er was born, I traveled west with my family in order to avoid strong enemies, but I still caught up with my opponent on the way.

If it weren't for my righteous brother, who sacrificed his life to save him and forcibly killed the thief for me at the cost of destroying one eye, I am afraid that my family would have already returned to Jiuquan.

Since then, I have only treated him as my own brother and want to honor him for the rest of my life.

But not long after that, when he was out to business, he ran into Wei Yixiao's vampire demon and died tragically under his fangs......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Changling couldn't help but hide his face and cry again, completely losing his usual temperament and demeanor.

Seeing this, Meng Xiu could only comfort him and say things like persuading him to mourn.

Unexpectedly, after Zhu Changling cried for a while, he suddenly took out a book from his arms and handed it to Meng Xiuyuan respectfully with both hands.

Meng Xiuyuan took the book, was a little stunned for a while, and subconsciously asked:

"Master Zhu, why are you doing this?"

That Zhu Changling wiped away the tears on his face, and said to Meng Xiuyuan earnestly:

"Meng Shaoxia, I really don't know how to repay your great kindness to me and my righteous brother.

Although my Zhu family is also considered to be a famous family, but in my generation, it is considered incompetent and has declined a little.

These days, after thinking about it, I feel that I only have this thing in the village, and I am worthy of a hero like you.

I hope you don't shirk ......."

Meng Xiuyuan felt more and more strange when he heard this, and when he opened the book, he found that it was actually a martial arts secret book.

"One Yang Finger?"
