Chapter 55: The Mysterious Hidden Element

When he returned to the tree just now, he saw Ouyang Yunshu still lying upright in place, his hands and feet stiff, and he was staring at him in horror. Ye Suiyun couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand to untie his acupoint, and said, "I ask, you answer, if there is half a nonsense... After a deliberate pause, he swung out his palm, and with a snap, he smashed half of the big bluestone with moss next to him.

Not to mention that Ouyang Yunshu was so frightened that the three souls leaked seven souls, even Ye Suiyun was taken aback, he originally just wanted to scare this scholar by blasting the stone in half, but he didn't know that the palm was shattered like powder, and he was secretly surprised: "Why is this palm so powerful?" "I don't know that since I came out of the martial prison, several fierce battles have made the autumn rain trick slowly improve invisibly, and the most important thing is to secretly listen to the incense shop in the river, and continue to use the method of turtle breath to control the internal breath to a near-death state, which greatly promotes the speed of skill improvement. Of course, if you use this method on weekdays, the mental pressure will not be exacerbated, and the effect will not be significant.

Although Ye Suiyun was surprised, he immediately came back to his senses and continued: "There is half a nonsense, and I will slap it like this." As he spoke, he compared the top of Ouyang Yunshu's head with his hand, as if he was measuring the part to be hit.

Ouyang Yunshu was already trembling and cold, staring at the hand hanging above his head, and said continuously: "Don't dare, don't dare." I don't know if I said that I didn't dare to deceive people, or persuaded Ye Suiyun not to dare to come nonsense.

Ye Suiyun asked, "Why did you get this Qixiu Waterway Map?" ”

Ouyang Yunshu trembled and replied: "Back to Daxia, this album was asked for by a friend of Xiaosheng, his name is Jing, and it is said that he is a famous figure in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Supposedly?" , Ye Suiyun frowned and said, "Don't you know him?" ”

Ouyang Yunshu replied: "Xiao Sheng is not a martial artist, he was indeed not familiar with this person before, but he met him unintentionally a month ago. ”

Ye Suiyun sneered and said, "I'm afraid that you guys have no intention of knowing each other or in a messy brothel, right?" ”

Ouyang Yunshu asked without thinking, "How did you find out?" Seeing Ye Suiyun slanting at himself, he couldn't help but say with a guilty face: "Since the hero knows everything, Xiaosheng will never dare to hide it." That scene is very generous, for many days, eating, drinking and having fun should be all his treats, and when he meets such a heroic person, Xiaosheng is also happy to eat and drink for nothing. ”

Ye Suiyun snorted and said, "How can there be such a cheap thing, naturally he has a request for you, but I'm afraid it's for this waterway map." ”

Ouyang Yunshu nodded and said, "What the hero said is right, according to Jing, this time it is to make a bet with another person, and whoever gets the atlas first will win." He looked at Ye Suiyun cautiously, and said: "Actually, Xiaosheng doesn't care if he wins or loses this bet, it's just that people are so bold, and the so-called uselessness is not punished, so I should help him do something." ”

Ye Suiyun thought that this scholar didn't seem to be Yang Guozhong's person, but just to repay the favor, and asked, "But how does Jing know that you can get this thing?" ”

Ouyang Yunshu laughed dryly, and said with a shameful face: "This. . . This one.. It's just that Hansheng has a bad problem, every time he drinks too much in the cup, he opens his mouth and likes to brag about himself. That day, in the 'Cuixiang Building', I couldn't help but talk about how I had many confidants, one of whom was Lin Yiru from Qixiufang, who was listened to by Jing. ”

Ye Suiyun was surprised: "How many lovers do you have, are there more than two?" ”

Ouyang Yun wrote with color, and said: "It's not that I'm boasting, with my cold life's full of literary brilliance and graceful demeanor, the young beauties in Yangzhou City, I don't know how many people want to get acquainted, and after a rough calculation, the dozens of red-sleeved incense companions are not a problem." ”

"Dozens?" Ye Suiyun was surprised and said, "You are so bold. I don't think you want to live anymore. ”

Ouyang Yunshu said in fear: "I don't know... Ignorance.. Why did the hero say this, didn't he inadvertently offend the hero's sister or friend? ”

Ye Suiyun smiled: "Nonsense, you don't have that ability?" Looking at the other party's relieved expression, he said again: "Don't you know who Lan'er of the Cardinal Sect and Lin Yiru of Qixiufang are?" If they find out what you have done, they are afraid that they will immediately cut you into pieces. ”

Ouyang Yunshu's tone changed greatly, and he snorted: "No, it must not, they are all such gentle women, how can they kill people fiercely?" Besides, Lan'er and I are childhood sweethearts, so this matter will definitely not happen. This is more like a reassurance to oneself. Because after Ye Suiyun mentioned it, he also clearly realized that these two people were not ordinary women, and they both had martial arts, if they were really in a hurry, it was not impossible to pull out a knife and cut someone.

Ye Suiyun said again: "Even if Lan'er doesn't want your life, if the matter of the two of you is discovered by the Cardinal Sect, then you both will be burned into charcoal, you should know this, right?" Thinking of what he heard in the rape field before, Ye Suiyun asked this question. Ouyang Yunshu nodded, this was said by Lan'er himself, but he never imagined that these secret words would be heard by others.

Ye Suiyun asked in detail how to hand over the atlas to Jing, Ouyang Yunshu didn't dare to hide it at all, and after honestly explaining it clearly, Ye Suiyun said: "You go home now to pack up your belongings, don't delay, go out to play, and go back to Yangzhou in the next month, I guarantee that you are safe and sound." Otherwise, I'll have to sweep your brother into a clay pot. ”

Ouyang Yunshu said strangely: "Sweep. Swept into a clay pot? ”

Ye Suiyun pretended to be fierce and said loudly: "It's burned to ashes, can't it only be swept into the clay pot?" Go fast and don't delay. When Ouyang Yunshu heard this, he was so frightened that he didn't say anything anymore, and ran away, Ye Suiyun couldn't help but laugh when he saw him funny and anxious.

After laughing and calming down, he thought: "Jing Jiao used the name of the competition, naturally he was afraid that Ouyang Yunshu would be suspicious, and when he learned that he was doing things for Yang Guozhong, this thief was also thoughtful. Compared with them, his own scheming is really far behind. ”

When he returned to the residence, he saw that Yang Laosan had not yet fallen asleep, obviously worried about himself. When asked about drinking, Ye Suiyun secretly scolded: "I forgot about it." Hu Bian said: "The wine in that store is sold out, Daddy Yang, you should bear with it for another day." Afraid that the other party would ask again, he didn't dare to stay and ran back to the firewood room.

Qixiu Waifang, also known as Shuiyunfang, at this time, there are more than a dozen cardamom girls here, in groups of two, facing each other, wielding double swords, catching and practicing the newly learned sword moves. Among them, Shu Xiaoyu, who worked hardest, was told that someone was outside the gate to see her, and she felt a little strange in her heart: "Who would want to find herself." When I got out of the gate, it turned out to be the little beggar Ermo who was squatting in the distance and looking around.

When Ye Suiyun saw Shu Xiaoyu, he hurriedly greeted: "Xiaoyu girl, come quickly." There are important things. ”

Shu Xiaoyu had just finished practicing swordsmanship, his forehead was sweaty, his cheeks were dizzy, and he smiled: "You beggar gang, there are still important things?" Say, I'll hear how important it is. "With his hands on his hips, he looked funny.

Ye Suiyun looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he took out the Qixiufang River Vein Waterway Map from his arms, handed it to Shu Xiaoyu, and said, "You take this back to your owner." ”

Shu Xiaoyu obviously hadn't seen this thing, and when he saw the words on it, he said strangely: "What is this?" Is it something from my shop? ”

Ye Suiyun was stunned for a moment, and didn't even think about how to explain it, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, and pretended to be serious: "I don't know, but I think it must be very important, otherwise it will be wrapped in a thick cloth, this time you can make a great contribution, haha." ”

Shu Xiaoyu didn't smile, looked at Ye Suiyun suspiciously, and asked, "Then where did you get it from?" Ye Suiyun's smile froze on his face, and he didn't know how to answer, before he came, he planned to hand over the album to Shu Xiaoyu and leave, who would have thought that this girl would have so many questions?

Shu Xiaoyu's face gradually sank, and asked, "Second, do you have something to hide from me?" Did you steal this? ”

Ye Suiyun swallowed his saliva and said, "Don't guess, how could I be a beggar to help Xiaoxia steal something, this... This one.. I picked it up. The voice was so thin and weak that he couldn't even convince himself.

Hearing that he was obviously insincere, talking nonsense, Shu Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, and was about to get angry, Ye Suiyun had already slipped away, and turned around and shouted as he ran: "Xiaoyu will return the things to the original owner and send them back, if it is too late, something big will happen." Ermo Xiaoxia took the first step. Shu Xiaoyu wanted to stop him again, but the person had already run away.

Leaving Qixiufang, Ye Suiyun came to Yangzhou Wharf by boat, and told Yang Laosan that he was going to attend the beggar gang gathering today, so as not to make the old man suspicious.

Yangzhou City is divided into two parts, which are Zicheng and Luocheng. The sub-city is the remnant of the old city of Jiangdu in the Sui period, the wall is curved, the ring is like a deep trench, it is where the military and political organs are located, and the government office lives. Luocheng was built for mutual trade, and the city was divided into three counties: Jiangdu, Jiangyang and Yangzi.

Ye Suiyun came to the most prosperous Jiangyang area east of the Zhongguan River in Luocheng, and saw the traffic on the street, and the bustling pedestrians were washing their clothes and coming and going. After a little hesitation, he touched the iron plate given by Li Fu in his arms, and according to Dai Shi's instructions, he hung it in a conspicuous place on his waist, and then walked along the Guanhe River on the street, slowly strolling. All the way from Dongfang to Renfeng Fang, and then from Qingnian Fang to Xiaoru Fang, went straight for more than half an hour. A porter dressed as a porter in Huo Di walked out of a nearby shop, came to Ye Suiyun, hugged his fists and bowed, but was silent.

Ye Suiyun knew that he had found the target, nodded and didn't speak, turned around and continued to move forward, and the man followed closely. Coming to a secluded alley, Ye Suiyun turned his head and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The porter-like humane: "The villain is 'Xuanzi Erbi'." ”

Ye Suiyun secretly wondered: "There is such a strange name, I think it should be similar to the codename." On the surface, he didn't move, and said, "Okay, are you a member of the Hidden Yuan Society?" Can you do me a favor? ”

Xuanzi Er nodded and said, "The token in Childe's hand can mobilize all the power in the meeting, please show Childe." ”

Ye Suiyun's tone changed and asked, "You don't want to ask who I am?" Just at my disposal? ”

Xuanzi Erqi still said expressionlessly: "No matter the identity, no matter the source, anyone can ask me to do something, but if others don't have the token in the son's hand, the price to be paid is not necessarily." ”

The more Ye Suiyun listened, the more surprised he became, it turned out that this small brand that he had never paid much attention to was so useful. It was only because he didn't know how powerful the Hidden Yuan Society was, so he didn't care about it before.

Since the Northern Anniversary, the Hidden Yuan Society has existed in the world, as for who founded this mysterious organization? When was it founded? How many people are in the meeting? Where is the headquarters? No one can say anything about these questions. In the eyes of many people, the Hidden Yuan Society itself is the biggest mystery.

Of course, if you have anything to know, you will definitely get the answer by asking Yin Yuanhui, but the price you have to pay is uncertain, it may be Wanguan gold, it may be a lost martial arts cheat, or it may be your own life. Although this organization is extremely secretive, the efficiency of its work is indeed not compromised at all, and no matter what kind of case is presented, the answer will definitely be given. Because of this, the imperial court also began to gradually pay attention to this force, and the Tiance Mansion was ordered to investigate in detail, and captured one of the members of the guild, using various methods, until the seventeenth person was found, and the clue was interrupted forever, and the operation had to end in failure. Since then, the name of the Hidden Yuan Society has become more mysterious in the rivers and lakes.

Ye Suiyun also heard Wei Qiwu say all of them, and knew that Yin Yuan would be a force that had never been found and confirmed, but really existed, so he couldn't help but be curious, and asked: "You have exposed your identity like this, aren't you afraid that I will follow you to find your hometown?" ”

Xuanzi Er said unhurriedly: "The little one only knows two people in the meeting, one is upline, the other is downline, if Childe follows me, then they will not appear, I never know the third person, even if Childe kills me, I can't find more clues." The tone is steady and straight, and it can even be said that there is no trace of emotion.

Ye Suiyun was slightly surprised in his heart, knowing that he really shouldn't joke with such a person, it was important to hurry up and get down to business, and said: "Please help me investigate the whereabouts of a person as soon as possible, this person's name is Fang Jun, it seems that he is from Penglai Island, and it should be near Yangzhou now." I don't know if this information is enough... Before he finished speaking, he saw Xuanzi Er's salute again, walked out of the alley, and disappeared into the crowd in a flash on the seemingly clear street.

Ye Suiyun said in his heart: "This person's martial arts may not be very high, but he is very good at hiding himself, but I am afraid that most of the people in the Hidden Yuan Society are like this." Picked up the iron card in his hand and looked at it, thinking: "I really didn't expect this iron card to have such a big function, but Li Fu gave it to me, did he know that I would definitely use it?" But who is Li Fu? What will be the relationship between him and Yin Yuan? "All kinds of doubts are running around in my mind, but I can't figure out anything, since I don't understand, it's still the old rules, so I just don't want to. Ye Suiyun put away the iron card and prepared to go back. As soon as he walked out of the alley, a person on the side of the street walked straight up, looked at Ye Suiyun's black and dirty face for a while, and couldn't help but smash his mouth.

Ye Suiyun was surprised, and saw that the other party was a young Taoist priest with beautiful eyebrows, very thick eyebrows, a red spot between the eyebrows, a small gourd hanging around his waist, and a crane feather on his back to whisk the dust. Looking at the clothes, it is obvious that he is not a pure yang disciple, I am afraid that he is just a lonely and idle wild Taoist priest.

Ye Suiyun grinned and said, "Little master, you look at me so seriously, do you want to give my little beggar a few dollars?" Great, great. ”

The priest closed his eyes and shook his head, tapping the thumb of his right hand back and forth on the knuckles of the other four fingers, as if he was counting something. The more Ye Suiyun looked at it, the more strange he became, thinking that this person was a madman, so he wanted to leave with his legs raised. At this time, the Taoist priest suddenly said, "Little beggar, you are about to come to a great disaster." ”

Ye Suiyun stopped when he heard this, and secretly thought: "This person is clear and beautiful, it turns out to be a charlatan, this kind of person has seen a lot of people when he was a child, and when he opens his mouth, he will say that a big disaster is coming, or a flood of blessings and the like, after attracting people over, he will slowly talk nonsense and cheat money." I couldn't help but feel disgusted, and I didn't want to deal with it, so I wanted to speed up and leave, and the young Taoist priest said, "It seems that you don't believe me, hey, it's okay." ”

Ye Suiyun thought again in his heart: "No, if he wants to deceive people, he should also find those officials and businessmen who seem to be rich, and it is impossible for him to entertain a beggar like me." With the idea of seeing what tricks he had, he turned his head and asked, "Oh? You say that I have a great calamity, but I ask you, when will this calamity come? ”

The Taoist priest shook his hands and said, "It's not at this time, it's not at this moment, you have to be in a hurry." In this way, you make a word, and I will help you do the math. ”

Ye Suiyun was stunned, thinking that he couldn't recognize a few words, and when he turned his head, he saw a seal flag hanging at the door of a big pawn on the roadside, embroidered with the words 'Zhao Ke Chaofeng'. He pointed with his hand and said, "You are the third person I have a serious conversation with today, so choose the third word." ”

The trail looked in the direction of his finger, and the third one from top to bottom was the word 'chao', and he nodded after thinking for a while: "Well, that's right, the word Chao is opened, it is October 10, and I want to come to this catastrophe on the tenth day of October." ”

Ye Suiyun couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and thought about it: "If you say that I have been in trouble recently, I may believe it." The current situation is indeed a misfortune for me, and I am involved in a murder case for no reason. But it's still early in October, it's really nonsense. He smiled and said, "Little Master, you can play by yourself, I won't accompany you, and when I am in a big trouble, I'll give you money again." ”

The Taoist priest stared at the direction in which Ye Suiyun left, smiled, and looked up at the sky, at this time the clouds were sparse and the sky was clear. His eyes seemed to pass through the sky, and he muttered to himself: "The holy star observed half a year ago has turned from north to south, and it should have appeared in the land of Yangzhou, but after so many days, I still can't find it, isn't Master's method wrong?" His eyes were full of confusion, and he shook his head and walked away.
