Yinzhou, on the shore of Qingjing Lake.

Wudong laughed.

"It's not a lie, my lord."

In the business field, Wei Mingfu, the big shopkeeper of Jin Yuzhai, is called "two eyebrows", just because the two long eyebrows are flexible and eye-catching, any expression, with these two eyebrows, is really vivid.

Now he also smiled and frowned sincerely, just like a small stall owner who had been robbed by force.

"Is it all burned?" There is no hole, and the breath is light.

"There are still in recent years." Wei Mingfu's eyebrows lowered, "If you want to test it, we will call it out immediately, but earlier. Even twenty years ago, there was really nothing that could be done. ”

"A business like Xinpo, which costs a few thousand taels of silver a year, is not complicated." Wudong looked at him with gray eyes, "As far as I know, the business account book has been damaged, and the Chamber of Commerce will try to restore it as soon as possible." ”

The replica does have. It's just that the memory of the old man back then, coming and going is scattered, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions and mistakes.

"Take me to fetch it." No hole said coldly.

Wei Mingfu wiped his sweat, as if he really didn't expect the old man to know about this section, so he reluctantly turned around and walked to the back of the hospital.

This is already the deepest courtyard of Jin Yuzhai, and after going out, it is off the shore, and in front of it is a water pavilion erected on the lake.

When I arrived here, it was as if I had entered another depth of Jinyuzhai, and the noise in the front yard was all gone, and only the night breeze lifted the placket at this time. There were no candles burning in the water pavilion, like a giant beast lurking on the deep waves of water.

Four well-suited guards stood at the door, and the person at the head was Basheng.

Wudong's gaze did not stay here, but continued to lift up, looking deeper into the past.

If the watershed is a behemoth, then the gatekeeper is the gateway to it.

Behind the water pavilion, a long corridor reached straight into the middle of the lake, like the shadow of a dragon in the darkness. At the end of the dragon's shadow, the nine-story tower Ling Bo was built, and it was also dark and candleless.

Planting lotus pagoda, in the Shaolong River and Lake is a place covered with a hazy mist.

Jin Yuzhai started in a mixture of fish and dragons, green forests, underworlds, magnates, and families. Forty years ago, the thirty-year-old "Golden Deer" Hua Wanquan swam like a loach with fangs and established the foundation of "Jinyuzhai".

Down, gangs in the city, robbers in the mountains; Going up, the high-ranking officials of the government and the famous and decent families have their own ways. Business is the way to communicate with each other, and the more ways there are, the more business will naturally come to the door, so prosperous every year.

It's just that the green stem that starts in the silt pool, and there are a lot of poisonous insects and water hazards that pounce up, and the three words "Jin Yu Zhai" want to grow to the bright place, and the leaves and lotus make people nod, and they have to stand firmly on the rhizome. Hua Wanquan set up Zhuangzi on the shore of Qingjing Lake, and built a tower in the depths of the lake against the rock, he lived in this tower day and night, hung the three words "Jin Yu Zhai" clearly, and used a long knife to support the darkest and most difficult days.

It wasn't until he stepped into the Xuanmen and found three gangs that he completely ended that time.

Since then, the three words of "Jin Yu Zhai" have been spread bigger and bigger, and they have gone higher and higher, and now they have washed away the silt and set up the signboard steadily.

And it was in this process that the famous "Blood Lotus Golden Deer" gradually faded away and no longer appeared in Jin Yuzhai's business, representing Jin Yuzhai's complete farewell to that chaotic period.

Someone asked, Jin Yuzhai's answer was "return to the mountains and forests, travel the world", and no longer pay attention to the business of the chamber of commerce. The lotus pagoda has also been sealed since then, and no one has set foot in it again.

No one knows the truth of this statement, and the shadow of his person has always been looming behind Jin Yuzhai.

People say that this tower hides the secret treasure of a long-standing grandmaster, maybe there are really outlaws who have tried to probe, but in short, no one has come out alive.

Now up close, it does look like it has been uninhabited for a long time.

Wudong retracted his gaze and walked into the water pavilion with his sword.

In the deepest part of the room, Wei Mingfu pushed open the door, and the interior was empty, and the innermost wall was a stone wall, on which was inlaid with an iron portal.

Without the slightest intention of avoiding the hole, Wei Mingfu reluctantly opened the iron door, and in the sound of the mechanism, the secret vault was revealed. The shopkeeper's hesitation now seems to be very reasonable, not to mention the secret treasures, the [Nanhai Huozhu] mid-year singing and selling will declare that the business route is lost, and the last few catties are sold for a large price, and now there is half a shelf here.

In addition to hoarding goods, many long-lost swords and magic weapons in the rivers and lakes have also revealed their whereabouts here, either ancestral or town, and many pieces are taken out, which is the end of an unsolved case in the rivers and lakes.

Wu Dong swept these things lightly, and Wei Mingfu had already taken out a book of accounts that was neither new nor old.

"This is the booklet that was added after that burndown, my lord." Wei Mingfu opened his hands and handed them over, "The next seven pages are related to Xinpo." ”

There is no hole slowly turned over, a pen is indeed very clear, there are other chambers of commerce, there are anonymous separate orders, there are singing and selling, there are also in the name of the sect gang to buy nearly ten catties of heart per year, scattered and scattered have their own way out, in addition to the paper and ink is not the paper and ink of the year, Jin Yuzhai will restore other details are quite complete.

"Is this how your hearts are sold?" After a long time, Wudong closed the booklet and looked at the person in front of him lightly again.

If you have any questions, we will definitely cooperate with them one by one." Wei Mingfu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his sincerity was overflowing.

"Jin Yuzhai does have a gentleman with good means, but unfortunately the account can only be done like, but it can never be done really." Wudong sighed lightly, "That's why I know that you have done something, but I must also read this account book." ”

"The adults laughed, if they have ever moved, the adults can go and inquire one by one."

"I believe that in the past 12 years, the heart of the business must be tightly knit and just right. It's a pity that any lie has its boundaries, and after pulling the vision to the macro that the lie can't keep up with, the intolerable points of the circle will naturally be reflected. Wudong looked at him, "Jin Yuzhai's business over the years has a great advantage. ”

“.” Wei Mingfu's expression didn't move, only his eyebrows lowered.

"As soon as the southern jewelry materials arrive in Shaolong, you can always give the fastest and most sincere list to the government, and the amount is always between three thousand and six thousand taels, so as to seize the right to sell the first batch." Wudong looked at him, "Jin Yuzhai has four main accounts every year: the collection and sale of luxury pawns is about three thousand taels; Xuancai is sold for about seven or eight thousand taels; The sale and carving of its own gold and jade mines are about three or four thousand taels; The rest is the heart of the business, right? ”

“.” Wei Mingfu's face was already a little pale, his eyebrows gradually moved towards the figure eight, he smiled reluctantly, "There are still some other items."

"Every year in May, you have completed the purchase of luxury goods from the south, and in April, you have to take three or four thousand taels to buy Xinpo, and at the end of July, the southern Xuancai comes again, and you take out four or five thousand taels of silver for the first time" Wudong chuckled lightly and threw the booklet back on the shelf, "Buying and selling, according to this booklet, where is your 'selling' in the first half of the year?" ”

“.”

"Therefore, Xinpo is not sold in bulk throughout the year, as soon as you get the goods - regardless of whether it is six catties or ten catties - there is a fixed, bulk sales channel, seven or eight catties of Xinpo go out, four or five thousand taels of silver back. You even bought it for them. Wudong looked at him coldly, "If the shopkeeper Wei can settle this account, it will be the ability of the Void to produce silver." ”

“.” Wei Mingfu's eyebrows slowly lowered, and his lips trembled slightly, "My lord, you have to speak with evidence."

"Jin Yuzhai will be completely seized on the same day, and the silver that has passed will always leave traces, and within half a month, Xianrentai will be able to find out a complete chain of evidence." Wudong looked at him indifferently.

The eyebrows stood up, as if they had been stepped on in a sore spot, and screamed, "My lord! That's it—"

"But that's what you wanted." Wudong looked at him indifferently.

“.” Wei Mingfu's whole person froze completely, and his vivid expression froze on his face. It turns out that when the real heart sinks into the valley, these eyebrows are solidified.

Wudong no longer looked at him, and pressed the sword straight back: "Half a year ago, Xianrentai chased the 'flower poison' Yan Maohua who had just entered the Xuanmen, and found the trace in the Yinzhou area but lost his tracks, and later they determined that he entered the Lotus Pagoda and never came out. ”

Wei Mingfu followed behind in a panic: "No crane inspection!" No adults"

"So I think Hua Wanquan may have never left, and has always been in this tower." The sealed back door slammed open in front of Xuanqi, and he stepped into the corridor under the night wind without a hole, "Many years ago, he stopped in the realm of 'Tie Yi' due to talent and secret injury, and now, what can make him sell the entire Jin Yu Zhai, just to buy this half a month for Huan Death Building?" ”

Wudong stroked the swallowing mouth of the jade tiger expressionlessly, and the person was already swept up like a crane, and the long bridge of dozens of zhang passed by in one step: "I hope he really stepped into the 'body', otherwise it will be too boring." ”

The old man never intended to find any evidence, time was the most important thing at this time, he just had to "know", and then went straight to the deepest part.

The crane clothes fell straight to the top of the lotus tower, and the injury suffered by Bowang was obviously still affecting him, but there was no doubt without the hole, and he pressed the top of the tower with one arm, and the Xuan Qi penetrated into it, and the lake around the tower was stirred up like a lotus, and the golden iron was clear in the sound of the waves, and all the door locks and chains in the entire tower were broken inch by inch.

Indeed, even if the famous old master "Golden Deer" on the rivers and lakes really stepped into the realm of squeezing his body, in front of the sharpest crane inspection of Shaolong Immortal Terrace, it was really not enough to see.

The holeless sword floated in, and this black tower that was rumored to be killing inch by inch in the rivers and lakes was hit by him layer by layer like a bush, and the true Xuan Erqi was agitated, and the iron window of the layer he passed through slammed open.

"Hua Wanquan, I should have met you a few years ago." In the midst of the turmoil, Wudong's soft voice penetrated everything very clearly, "It's also a man, if you do something, come out to confront it." ”

“.” A hoarse sigh came from underground, "No adults, seven floors under the lake, please come." ”

Straight down without holes.

The space under the lake is much larger than that on the lake, and it grows wider and wider as it goes down, because the tower is built against a stone vein, and the depth is almost covered with huge boulders that are half of the lake, which can be excavated.

When it reached the deepest seventh floor, it was almost a large hall.

It was dark and quiet, and there was no hole in the cold, dripping stone path that stepped in, only empty footsteps echoed.

Such a situation always makes people can't help but slow down, but there is no hole without the slightest restraint, the falcon eyes look straight ahead, at the end of the hall is the uncarved stone wall, under the stone wall carved a huge seat, the body wrapped in silk robes leaning on it.

This is the only place in the entire temple where two white candles have been burned.

"Hua Wanquan, where did you transport Xinpo?"

However, there was no answer.

Wudong paused for a moment, pursed his lips and walked over slowly, seeing the face clearly.

The high bridge of the nose, thin eyes, and a fierce aura when the eyes are closed, which is exactly the face of the man I saw occasionally in the past after being carved by time.

It's just been dead for years.

Wudong's jaw tensed, and he turned around, and the sound of crisp footsteps was already ringing behind him.

Two black robes and two scenes stood at the entrance of the main hall.

One is white and yellow, the other is plain and hooked, and the two long swords are cold.

The moment his eyes met, Wu Dong knew that his enemy was not that Yeluzi Grandmaster Hua Wanquan.

The two senior Xuanmen who have been pondering in the realm of their bodies for a long time, the power invested by Huan Death Lou here is beyond Wudong's expectations.

Judging by Hua Wanquan's corpse, they are in complete control of this place. It's been many years.

Huan Death Lou never traded with Jin Yuzhai, but after hollowing out his heart and lungs, he controlled it like a puppet.

How can Happy Death Lou have such control?

Wudong is a little unbelievable, but there is no time to think about it now.

Just as he went straight in without giving in, and he must find out the whereabouts of Huan Death Lou from here, Huan Death Building's determination to block this road is just as resolute.

The two of them believed that they must be the indispensable high-rise of the Happy Death Building, and now they are just to bury him here.

Wudong gasped lightly, and the jade tiger gently unsheathed. The hall suddenly exploded, and there was no conversation, and the cold light of the black shadow swept up!

The sword of the holeless was framed, and in the sound of the clanging, the body was slammed into the stone wall, and in the next moment, the second cold light forced the back waist, and the [Folding Phoenix Ting] exploded in a very small gap, forcing the sword in front of him to retreat for a moment, and the holeless oblique sword stood up to the second blade.

After the battle of Ichika, the battle situation tensed to the extreme in silence.

The two black robes were stronger than Wu Dong imagined, one sword was close to the front, and the other sword was folded backwards, and the strength and dislocation were terrifyingly accurate. It's not any sword skill, it's just the pinnacle quality of two grandmasters who are good at fighting in Yihe.

And Wudong had deliberately conceded force when he received the first sword, if he hadn't turned his back to the stone wall in advance, the second sword would definitely have opened a bloody wound on him.

Now that both sides know the depth of each other, Wudong lowered his eyebrows and raised his eyes, and slowly relaxed the palm holding the sword.

A tragic fight broke out in this space in an instant.

Wu Dong knew that time was not on his side, and he had to kill the hole before the other party figured out his hole cards, he didn't have dodge and defense, and in the collision of the cold shadow of the air flow, he used the blade, the magic weapon, the occult arts, and the wound to replace the opportunity to get out of the sword, according to the feeling of just receiving the sword twice, and violently poured all the killing opportunities of a crane inspection towards the weaker white face.

And the two black robes didn't give an inch. There is no chance of victory, there is no calmness of the enemy advancing and retreating, no one knows what he can do if he is given enough space, the resoluteness of the two black robes at this time is breathtaking-if you want to exchange injuries, then exchange injuries with you, one sword for two swords! If you want to change your life, then you will exchange your life, one life for another!

If one dies, the other will have the head cut off.

In such a battle of all swords, two black robes came and went in the dark hall around the crane clothes, the sword shadow flashed, the blood flowed and splashed, and every moment it seemed as if a limb was about to fly.

And for Wudong, when he hit the two swords with Bai Mian again, the soft slanting of the opponent's sword momentum for a moment was the real chance of life and death.

You're bleeding and I'm bleeding, but we're getting weaker at different rates.

Wudong didn't rush to attack for the first time, but avoided the sword of plain noodles. Its human condition is almost intact, and the sword is really strong and fast, and Wudong has used almost all his strength to avoid it.

Even though Bai Mian's shoulder blades were smashed on the upper fold, he still immediately seized the opportunity at this time and struggled to fill the gap left by this sword.

And behind the holeless, the plain sword has already shimmered with a cold glimmer in the Xuan Qi.

Actively seeking to change the rhythm in a difficult situation is such an end. You do get a chance to fight the male tiger under you, but the tigress has her sharp fangs on her back.

But the tiger's roar rang out first from the holeless sword.

Shen Mei's sharp sword lit up with a dazzling electric light, and the power that bloomed surpassed all the previous attacks that seemed to be murderous.

"Bright Light and Thunder" [Walking the Sky and Sea]

With a sword that poured all his might, the sword light really turned into a thunder dragon that frightened the sea, and the white light almost drowned the old man's arm. And in the face of such light and heat, the white face beard flew, and the sword was folded, and it was the same first counterattack for defense.

This sword was enough to drown Bai Mian's ordinary offensive sword, and then give him enough heavy damage, so Bai Mian didn't change.

From desperate "fighting" to calm and sober "cunning", the sudden change in rhythm brought no chance.

It's okay to fight for injuries, but it's been one attack for two attacks, and now Wudong suddenly wants to exchange one attack for another, and Bai Mian will immediately withdraw his chips.

The sword of Hengjiang is firmly in front of him, and Bai Mian calmly copes with everything, so that his sword is defeated, and Su Mian stabs him in the back, which is a fair exchange.

But at this moment, the hilt of the sword in his hand suddenly lost control, and Su Mian didn't have time to hold his wrist and force it, and the next moment the two swords had intersected, and most of the sword in his hand was suddenly loosened.

So everything was caught off guard.

The loose sword suddenly bloomed with a bright light as bright as day, and the second [Walking the Sky Sea]. With the intersection of the two swords as the axis, the two terrifying forces merged into the same straight line in an instant.

The electric snake flashed, and a scorched hole was left in the throat of the white face.

The holeless gray eyes are indifferent, this is an almost peak attainment with a sword.

[Jade Tiger], wire.

He finally completed the killing of the enemy with one attack for another, and he still had the strength to twist his body, and at the same time there was a sharp pain in his back, and his dodge tended to be contrary to the opponent's sword, and the dripping blood and flesh had fallen to the ground.

No hole fell to the ground, Fang Yi crossed the sword, but his body suddenly stiffened, and the mysterious qi hidden in the wound behind his back exploded like a flame, and the old man's chest and abdomen instantly turned red, and a mouthful of hot blood spurted out.

Su Mian landed on the ground and let out a mouthful of bloody breath, and in a hurry he forcibly urged this Sword Flame Xuan Sutra, which also caused his meridians to burn.

Of course, compared to the old man on the other side, who was in a hurry to seal his veins, he still had too many advantages.

It's just that now I haven't been able to complete the life-for-life, and in the case of going it alone, anything can happen.

Su Mian gently pulled the sword flower, knowing that as long as he was serious, he could win this victory.

Wudong straightened up and slowly grasped the sword as it was no longer so powerful.

The injury just now has affected the old injuries, and the true Xuan Erqi has been tied up a lot. He should be the first to sweep up with his sword!

Su Mian stood still, he took a gentle breath again, calmly mobilized Xuan Qi, and at the moment when he was about to die, he suddenly crossed the sword, and the waves exploded in all directions, and he firmly held the sword.

And without a chance to breathe, the Xuan Qi in front of him exploded again, and the bright light on the Holeless Sword was as bright as day again.

Su Mian never expected that the Silk Jade Tiger would be launched again, and the exact same move as just now would appear again!

However, this time, Jade Tiger didn't even manage to snatch the sword from Su Mian's hands.

The gap in state was not made up by the strategy, so Su Mian only had to face this all-out move [Walking the Sky Sea].

It is indeed powerful, and it is indeed about to tie up almost all of his strength, and Su Mian also knows that he is afraid that he will be injured, but the person on the other side must die.

An attack that was too decisive, too tragic, and too desperate, perhaps this was indeed the best choice for the person on the other side, but unfortunately it still failed to reverse the barrier of life and death. Within a thirtieth breath of this move, there will be a head waiting to be slaughtered in front of you.

The thunder was extinguished, the Xuan Qi exploded, and this move passed the sword.

The thirtieth of the breath has also passed.

The somen still didn't move.

He maintained the posture of the sword, and the moment the Xuan Qi consumption ended, he froze in the translucent air.

This process doesn't last long, it's only a thirtieth of a breath.

Then a clear sword swept through his throat and cut off the head.

Sui Zaihua shook off the blood stains and returned the sword to its sheath: "I have to make sure that there are no more ambushes." ”

Wudong waved his hand to signal that there was no need to explain: "I didn't expect that the drama master didn't mention the [Jade Tiger] to them. ”

"I have a lot to tell you about the 'playwright' that night."

"About the name 'Qu Candle'?" Wudong breathed again, "I specially mentioned it to you - an acquaintance?" ”

"Huh." Sui Zaihua smiled expressionlessly, "Treat the wound and take a look at the stone wall—when I first met him, he was in his early twenties." ”

Tsuru checked himself and was killed. Wudong knew that he would have a thousand ways to die, but at least in Shaolong's realm, he didn't quite want his corpse to have such a sense of humor.
