Chapter One Hundred and Eight: The Truth About Zigong
Ye Suiyun's palms were sweaty at the moment, but he didn't dare to ask. You Qianhe continued: "At that time, my whole body froze and I didn't know what to do. Suddenly, a man in black with a masked face rushed up from the side and slashed at me. I was scared at the time, but my instinct to survive allowed me to feel it again. I dodged sideways and kicked his hand with my foot, but the man reacted quickly and pulled away from the knife. He let out a snort, as if surprised, but then attacked again. I fought with him, and in the blink of an eye, it was thirty or forty rounds, and this man was very strong in martial arts, and it was extremely difficult to deal with. At this time, Shen Qing suddenly appeared, and the two of us attacked back and forth, and the masked man was caught off guard, and I snatched the weapon and cut off his head. ”
Ye Suiyun asked, "Could it be that this man in black slaughtered the people of Taoxianglou?" ”
You Qianhe said: "You guessed half right, he is indeed the murderer, but he is not the only one." Just as I was relieving myself when I hacked the guy to death, a dozen more masked black-clad guests suddenly popped up from upstairs and downstairs. ”
Ye Suiyun exclaimed: "More than a dozen? ”
You Qianhe nodded and said, "At that time, I thought that the guy who was hacked to death by me was already so powerful, if these dozen or so people were similar to him, then Shen Qing and I would definitely not be their opponents." It was still Shen Qing who reacted quickly, he grabbed me, retreated into the room next to him, and broke through the back window and escaped from Taoxiang Building. Fortunately, those who came after it did not seem to be in a hurry to chase it out. ”
Ye Suiyun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Flee to the street, presumably those people in black will not chase after them anymore." ”
You Qianhe's voice suddenly became hoarse, and said: "You're wrong, as soon as the two of us went out, I saw that the street was already full of blood, and the corpses were lying on both sides of the road, and I couldn't see my head at a glance, and the thick smell of blood in the air made me can't help but vomit." He laughed dryly and said, "It's ridiculous, I'm also a martial arts person, I should be used to seeing murder, but I was scared to vomit by that scene." ”
Ye Suiyun's hand was also a little uncontrollable and trembled slightly, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, but just from You Qianhe's words, it made him palpitate.
You Qianhe continued: "At that time, the two of us were hiding in the dark, and I heard intermittent screams coming from all directions, and I saw more black-clothed people shuttling through the streets and alleys from time to time searching, and if they saw a living mouth, they would kill them with a knife, these people had no specific goal, no words, just kept killing. Looking at that situation, the people in the city were not spared, and according to my inference at the time, there were probably more than 100 of these men in black. ”
Ye Suiyun was shocked: "They... They were slaughtering the city. You Qianhe nodded slowly, and Ye Suiyun said: "In this way, it is not as rumored in the rivers and lakes that Wang Yifeng slaughtered Zigong City. ”
You Qianhe raised his eyebrows and said, "He? Of course it wasn't him, not only that, Wang Yifeng even fought with the murderer in order to save people. ”
Ye Suiyun slapped his hands and said, "That's right, with a big master like him, how can these bastards be allowed to run rampant." For some reason, hearing that Wang Yifeng was not a murderer, Ye Suiyun actually felt a sense of relief.
You Qianhe said: "You are right, I originally thought so, with his martial arts, even if there are one hundred and eighty of these black-clothed people." At that time, there was a sudden rainstorm in the sky, and the two of us took advantage of the heavy rain to escape from the city along the street, but we inadvertently saw Wang Yifeng fighting a burly man in black from a distance. What I didn't expect was that the martial arts of this man in black were not inferior to him at all, and even surpassed. ”
Ye Suiyun muttered: "There is such a character among the assassins, I think he is the leader. ”
You Qianhe nodded and said, "It should be." The two of them were too strong in martial arts, and Shen Qing and I couldn't get close at all, so we had to hide in the dark and pay attention. After watching it for a while, I realized that Wang Yifeng seemed to know each other, and I heard him shouting while fighting: 'Why, why, why did you do this, return Xiaoyue to me', it seemed that he was already in a state of confusion. Every time he shouted a word, a wave of wind and thunder shot out in all directions, and even the heavy rain around him was forced five feet away. Shen Qing and I looked at each other, and each saw the horror in each other's eyes, both of them were the same thought, there was such an amazing martial art in this world. But the burly man in black didn't say a word, just stepped up his attack. ”
Ye Suiyun also said strangely: "In this way, Wang Yifeng and the man in black know each other. Is Xiaoyue the Wen Xiaoyue you just said? Presumably she is very important to Wang Yifeng. ”
You Qianhe nodded and said: "Yes, later I thought about it carefully, it should be Wang Yifeng who saw Wen Xiaoyue's tragic death, so that his mind went crazy, so that he completely lost his cool, and was suppressed by the man in black." ”
Ye Suiyun frowned, and muttered, "The question now is why did these black-clothed people slaughter the city?" And it was precisely when Wang Yifeng appeared in Zigong City that he did it, was it a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement? If it's a coincidence, how can there be a master who can compete with him, you must know that such a master is not something that can be found casually. Ye Suiyun shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off a lot of questions, and said, "What happened later?" ”
You Qianhe said: "Later, Wang Yifeng kept vomiting blood, and he had already suffered internal injuries, half of which was because the man in black was too powerful, and the other half should be caused by anger and attack. At that time, when I saw that he was almost unable to parry, I aimed at the opportunity and hit the man in black with a hidden weapon. The secret weapon was made by my family's method, wrapped in a cloth with a special medicinal powder, which exploded when touched, and the medicinal powder was spicy and choking people's eyes, and it was specially used to escape. Speaking of this, You Qianzuru finally seemed to have a smile on his face, and remembered his nickname of 'walking around'.
He added: "Wang Yifeng is extraordinary after all, the man in black has fought with him for thousands of moves, although he has the upper hand, but after all, he has also suffered a lot of losses, and his physical strength must have dropped greatly, so he didn't expect to be attacked by a sneak attack and be hit by me." I heard him snort and quickly retreated. When I hit the hidden weapon, although he heard the sound and wanted to turn his head to avoid it, I aimed at his shoulder, and I calculated that he was so big that he couldn't dodge. At the same time, Shen Qing took Wang Yifeng away, and by the time the eyes of the man in black saw things again, we had already taken advantage of the night and heavy rain to run away without a trace. ”
Ye Suiyun was thrilled to hear it, and said, "So, it was you and Shen Qing who saved Wang Yifeng?" You Qianhe said: "Yes, I heard after a few days that there was no one alive in Zigong City that night, and Wang Yifeng became a murderer, who made him so famous." And it happened to be there, and maybe there was the impetus behind the murderer. And the only people in the world who know the truth, except for the murderer, are the three survivors. ”
Ye Suiyun said: "It turns out that this is the case. Liu... I should call you a senior, dare to ask what this matter has to do with my father? ”
You Qianhe said: "When we fled, Wang Yifeng was already in a semi-coma, and he only regained consciousness when it was almost dawn. He handed over a portable book to Brother Shen Qing and asked us to give this book to Nie Xiaotian, saying that only Nie Daxia could keep this book in the world. ”
Ye Suiyun heard him talk about his father, and suddenly asked, "Could it be this book... It is.. ”
You Qianhe nodded and said, "Yes, it's the "Empty Secret Technique". But we didn't know it at the time. I just think that since it is entrusted by Wang Yifeng, it is naturally extremely important. It was even later guessed that the group of men in black were here for this book. ”
Although he had already expected a little, hearing him say the name of the Void Secret Technique, Ye Suiyun couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and asked, "Why is this book on Wang Yifeng's body, and why doesn't he keep it himself?" If the black-clad killer really wanted to steal the book, why did he slaughter the city? ”
You Qianhe said: "I also asked this question at that time, he was very calm, just smiled, but didn't say anything. But we both saw that he had a dead thought in his heart, and maybe he would find a place to break up with us. I think it must be because I saw my lover's tragic death, so that all thoughts were lost. He sighed.
Of course, Ye Suiyun now knew that Wang Yifeng was not dead, but he still couldn't help but worry, although he couldn't understand the pain of losing his lover in his heart, but he felt the grievances he had suffered.
You Qianhe saw his face and nodded: "Thinking of such a well-being person, but in the end he died unjustly, I felt the same way you do now." It was still Brother Shen Qing who was clever enough to use the general, and he said to Wang Yifeng: 'Even if you don't care about your reputation and don't care about the 70,000 Zigong people who died in vain, you should also ask Wen Xiaoyue for justice', sure enough, this sentence made Wang Yifeng dispel the idea of seeking death. But he said that he was seriously injured and was no longer able to fight against this book, so he still had to send it to Nie Daxia. ”
Ye Suiyunqi said: "Confrontation? You Qianhe said: "Legend has it that the Void Secret contains a mysterious power that can corrode and affect the mind of the bearer. It is said that if you carry it on your body for a long time, you don't have to practice it, and you can gradually acquire the skills in the book, but at the same time, your mind will change dramatically. Wang Yifeng didn't say it explicitly at the time, and we didn't understand it, but we only heard about this legend many years later, and I think that's what he meant at that time. Ye Suiyun secretly wondered that Xie Yunliu had also warned himself like this, could there really be such an evil martial arts.
You Qianhe continued: "In addition, as soon as the news came out at that time, Wang Yifeng became the biggest murderous demon in the world, and it was inevitable that the entire martial arts would attack him in groups. He said that he was too seriously injured and that he might not be able to recover his strength for three years, and that if he was besieged by good hands, it would be difficult to protect himself, so he had to go to a place to take refuge in order to take revenge in the future. ”
When Ye Suiyun heard this, he blurted out: "Valley of the Wicked." ”
You Qianhe nodded and said, "Yes, it is the Valley of the Wicked." We all know what happened later, to say that Wang Yifeng is indeed extraordinary, less than ten years of hard work, made the Valley of the Wicked Man like a rat crossing the street rise rapidly, and had the strength to fight against the entire martial arts, so that the Central Plains Martial Arts had to form a Haoqi Alliance through the imperial court to compete with it. Of course, these things have nothing to do with what we are talking about now. ”
Ye Suiyun knew that what You Qianhe said was being connected with his father, and You Qianhe continued: "When Wang Yifeng was leaving, he warned that if we find Nie Daxia, ask him to keep the book for three years, and send it to the Valley of the Wicked after three years, then Wang Yifeng should have recovered and no longer be afraid of any repercussions. Later, I discussed with Brother Shen Qing and decided to go separately to find Nie Daxia, whose martial arts skills were higher than mine, so he kept the book for the time being. Who knew that it was this decision that hurt him, and I regret it so much. Speaking of this, You Qianhe couldn't help but choke up a little.
At this time, the strange man in the room suddenly howled and cried, and said while crying, "Big brother, I'm sorry for you." It was the quiet middle of the night, and his cry was particularly harsh, which scared Ye Suiyun into a thrill, and he hurriedly looked in the direction inside, and said, "Old man, be quiet, be quiet, we can't leave if we are heard." I thought that this person was indeed crazy, but it was not necessarily an exaggeration.
You Qianhe snorted coldly and said to Ye Suiyun: "It's okay, as long as the door is closed here, it will be completely isolated from the world, and you can't make a sound at all." Ye Suiyun was relieved at this time, but he couldn't help but be surprised, You Qianhe's expression just now seemed to be a little strange, as if he despised the strange old man.
You Qianhe said: "After two months like this, although I tried my best, I still couldn't find Nie Daxia, and in desperation, I rushed to the designated place to meet Shen Qing according to the original agreement, but when I got there, I saw Brother Shen who was seriously injured and dying. With a long sigh, the cries of the strange people inside were even more intense.
You Qianhe ignored him, and still said: "He told me that he was injured by the plot of his two sworn brothers, and the secret of the void was also snatched away. He held on to this point, just to tell me what happened. In the end, he said that he couldn't bear Wang Yifeng's trust, and asked me to find Nie Daxia and beg him to snatch the empty secret back. After saying that, he died of anger. ”
Ye Suiyun was surprised, there seemed to be something wrong, he slowly stood up, listened to the cry of the strange person in the room, and said uncertainly: "Could it be 。。。。。。 ”
You Qianhe said expressionlessly: "Let him say it himself." ”
The strange man inside stopped crying, but he kept sobbing, only hearing the rattling, which seemed to be the sound of chains dragging the ground, the man got out of bed, and slowly moved his feet to a place where Ye Suiyun could see clearly. I saw that this person was unkempt, his hair was disheveled, he was extremely sloppy, and he had iron locks on his hands and feet, and he looked more like a prisoner than You Qianhe. He said slowly: "I hurt my eldest brother, this is my retribution, I want to atone for my sins here in this life." Why do you bother to mention it again? ”
Ye Suiyun listened to him, a little incredulous, and said, "You... You are.... You Qianhe continued: "He is one of Shen Qing's sworn brothers. I said earlier that he was a treacherous villain, but I didn't mean that I had wronged him. Ye Suiyun only felt that things were too unbelievable, and he didn't know what to say.
You Qianhe scolded: "You killed Shen Qing for selfishness, but in the end, it was not a bamboo basket to draw water, not only did you not get the cheats, but you also ended up in a prisoner under the stairs." It's really an eye-opener. His tone was very stern, and he laughed dryly a few times.
The strange old man looked directly at the candle flame on the table and said, "I know that I have made a big mistake, and this matter is like a poisonous insect that gnaws at my heart every day, and there is no better day." ”
Ye Suiyun had already relieved himself and asked, "Since you are so guilty and blamed yourself, why did you do that in the first place?" ”
The strange old man said: "At that time, the eldest brother found me and the third brother and said that he wanted the two of us to help find Nie Daxia together, and we naturally agreed." The three of them went on the road together, and it was no different at first, but then somehow I always wanted to keep the strange book for myself, and whenever this thought came to my mind, I quickly forced myself not to think about it, but I couldn't help it. Suddenly, one day, the third brother came to me and said that he wanted to join forces with me and grab the books on the eldest brother's body together. He fell silent suddenly, as if unwilling to continue.
You Qianhe sneered: "I've done everything, don't you dare to say it?" ”
The strange old man looked at the two of them, and said abruptly: "The next thing is simple, the two of us attacked him while the eldest brother was not paying attention, and I thought he was dead at the time, and I didn't look at it carefully when I was flustered, so I quickly searched out the empty secret and left together." Looking back now, it was as if I was obsessed. Sometimes I suspect that perhaps as people say, this book has magic and can deceive people, who knows. This time, You Qianhe didn't say anything, and seemed to think about the old man's words again, his confession didn't seem to be pretended, could it really be related to the book.
Although Ye Suiyun felt that he was a little pitiful, he was also very disdainful of his assassination of Shen Qing, and asked, "Later, what did you do with the book?" ”
The strange old man said: "After the two of us got the book, we were suspicious of each other, and we were afraid that the other party would deal with us, but on the surface, they seemed to be safe, and the book was kept by me for the time being." It wasn't until the battle in Maple Valley that the scheming of the two of us at that time seemed ridiculous. ”
Ye Suiyun didn't understand and said, "Ridiculous? ”
The strange old man nodded and said, "Both of us are worried that the other party is plotting against us, but I didn't expect that in the end, no one would get it." ”
Ye Suiyun said: "Could it be that it was snatched away by others again?" ”
The strange old man said: "You're right, that day I took the brothers of the beggar gang and the third brother's Tang Sect to meet in Fenghua Valley, originally planning to deal with the Ming Sect. Unexpectedly, the Mingjiao took the first step to discover our plan, ambushed there, and wiped us out, and the Void Secret was also snatched away in this battle. ”
The more Ye Suiyun listened, the more suspicious he became, and said, "Wait a minute, what do you mean by taking the beggar gang, you are a member of the beggar gang?" ”
The strange old man laughed loudly when he heard this, shook the roof tiles, and said, "People in the beggar gang? I'm not just a member of the beggar gang, the beggar gang was founded by me. ”
Ye stood up with Yunteng and exclaimed, "You... You are Yin Tianci, the founding leader of the beggar gang. ”
The strange old man was stunned and said in surprise: "You kid even knows my name." ”
