The end of the sunset is the end of the world, and the end of the world is not home.

Under the setting sun, the afterglow of the sunset city is everywhere. At a glance, the Kunlun Mountain not far away is particularly majestic and majestic under the glow. It is said that the sunset seen from the castle tower of Sunset Castle has a splendor and shock that cannot be matched anywhere else. Sunset City is famous all over the world, and many literati come to visit it.

Recently, Sunset City has seen more and more visitors. However, most of them are not literati, but strange Jianghu people. These Jianghu people are obviously not interested in watching the sunset, but instead hold bright blades all day long and guard the road to Kunlun Mountain. However, these people looked fierce, but they did not cause much trouble to the people, and they left the city officials to go.

Huang Fu and Ma Youde hiccuped and wandered the streets. They are well-known gangsters in Sunset City, and with the money in their families, they have nothing to do all day, either bullying the children of the East Courtyard family or fighting with the West Courtyard family. Fortunately, the two of them made trouble, and they always retained some measure, and the people in the city did not criticize them too harshly for the face of the two elders.

Huang Fu stroked his round belly as he walked, and sighed: Eating three whole chickens at once was really too much, although these chickens were stolen from Ma Liu's house last night.

As an accomplice, Ma Youde walked around the street with him to eat, and asked boredly: "Lao Huang, I already stole the chicken last night, what should I play tonight?"

"Let me think about it. Huang Fu propped up his chin with his hand, looking serious and thoughtful.

On the side street, where the two passed, the windows were closed, and the doors were closed, and a naughty child accidentally ran up to them, and was immediately dragged away by the woman who was chasing them.

Alas, I have nothing to do today.

Huang Fu looked around listlessly. Suddenly, a flower appeared in front of him, and a person appeared in front of him.

Where did this man come from! His eyes widened in astonishment.

But when he saw the person coming, his body was slender, his face was cold, his black eyes were like ice stones, and there was a faint cold air from his body, which made people feel cold.

"May I ask the two little brothers, can you do something for me?" said to the two half-grown men, his voice was cold, but his words were polite.

"What's the matter?" asked Huang Fu boldly.

The person who came took out a note and said, "Tomorrow, please pass this note to the people in this city." ”

"Okay!" Huang Fu took the note briskly.

"Thank you both, it's a reward. ”

It wasn't until after the man left that Ma Youde came back to his senses.

He asked Huang Fu, "Old Huang, can we do this?"

"Yes, of course!" Huang Fu clutched the silver taels given by the man tightly, and his eyes exuded a light that only came when stealing chickens, "This is the first time that the two of us have earned silver taels with our skills, not only to do it, but also to do it beautifully!"

"Lao Huang, you're right! I'm going to find the fast-legged little straight, and ask him to find some more people to deliver the letter with the two of us. ”

"Wait! I have to go to Zhang Xiucai's house first and ask him to make a hundred copies of this paper. ”

"Yes, his words are among the best in our city. ”

"Let's do it separately!"

The next day, in Sunset City, non-residents of the city received a neatly copied letter in their guest rooms:

On the afternoon of the third day, see you in front of the Fuzhao Temple.

Xu Shaofeng

......

Three days later, there was a crowd of people outside Fuzhao Temple, and dozens of people from the rivers and lakes rushed to hear the news.

"Why hasn't the kid surnamed Xu come yet?"

"You think he can't be lying to us, right?"

"I don't think I'm afraid to come!"

There was a lot of talking.

"Isn't that Mr. Bi Zhibi, the gentleman of Qingyuanli?"

As he spoke, a middle-aged man strolled over and greeted everyone gently and politely. He has a long sword in a green shirt, and his demeanor has the profound temperament of an elegant person, giving people the illusion that he is not a swordsman but a gentleman.

"Ah, the first master of the Shaolin Dharma Academy is also here. ”

Everyone looked at it, a majestic and tall monk, holding a demon pestle more than eight feet long, walked slowly. He walked like a moving hill, leaving a footprint of even depth on the ground with each step, showing deep internal strength.

"With the two of them here, I'm not afraid that the kid surnamed Xu will dare to hide the truth!"

"I also ask Master Zhida and Gentlemen to uphold justice. ”

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Master Zhida slammed the demon pestle in his hand to the ground, and said in a majestic voice: "I was about to ask for an understanding." Bi Zhiji, the gentleman of the ceremony, arched his hand to the surroundings with a smile.

A cold wind blew, and a person came.

Xu Shaofeng stood on the high platform in front of the temple gate, hugged his fists to everyone and said, "Thank you for being invited." Here, Xu will explain the things he knows about Daqueshan clearly. ”

Before he could finish his sentence, the crowd began to cross-examine him.

"What happened in the first battle of Humopo?"

"Who killed my master?"

"What's the matter with the treasure story?"

"Don't make a noise, let him understand first. The speaker was the master of the Shaolin faction, and his roar used the authentic Shaolin lion's roar skill, and immediately suppressed everyone's voices.

Xu Shaofeng thanked him for his jaw head and said: "In mid-May, the owner of Zhanhong Villa, Ye Zhuang, heard a message that the demon beast turned into a snake appeared near Daque Mountain in Bishui County. As soon as the demon beast turns into a snake, there is a fear that there will be flooding. In order to prevent the destruction of the living souls, he immediately recruited heroes from all walks of life on the rivers and lakes to go to Daque Mountain to jointly destroy the demon beasts. I happened to be passing by, so I went with them. ”

"We've heard of this for a long time, but why did you tell me why they all died in the battle of Humopo?" asked someone in the audience.

"You say it's for the exorcism, but why do some people say it's for the treasure?" the other asked.

Xu Shaofeng glanced at the two of them and continued: "We came to the Red Pheasant Cave in Daque Mountain, and the demon beast turned into a snake that was seriously injured under the combined efforts of our thirty-seven people, and finally fled to Humopo. As for the final battle of Humopo, I don't know. Because I was seriously injured by Fu Shouci and Guo Hui, two of the Seven Gentlemen of Qingyuan, I couldn't follow. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

"You are talking nonsense! The Qingyuan Sect is a famous gentleman's sect, how could they do such a shameless thing!"

"Anyway, all the people who were invited by the owner of Zhanhong Zhuang were killed, so you can say whatever you want. ”

Xu Shaofeng raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "I came here to just want to make what I know public, so that you don't always chase after me." I'm done, believe it or not!"

"The kid is so crazy, you can't show evidence, why should we believe you!"

"I think it's suspicious that he is the only one who survives, maybe everyone's death is his fault!"

For a time, there was tension on the field.

Xu Shaofeng was silent, and only tightened the Cold Iron Xingxiao Sword that had been held in his palm.

At this critical moment, a person jumped on the high platform and shouted: "Everyone, please be calm and listen to me." ”

"Who are you?"

"Why should I listen to you!"

Many voices were shouting unconvinced.

The man took out a golden sign from his bosom and said solemnly: "I am Liu Xialiang, who is the arrester of the capital, and I have come to find out this case, and I have a royal gold medal to testify." ”

His hand was raised in the air, and everyone's eyes were focused on the sign. But I saw that the middle of the sign was engraved with the four golden words of "Imperial Gold Medal", and the dragon ornament with teeth and claws carved on both sides was a royal thing that could not be forged.

Bi Zhiyi, the gentleman of Qingyuanli, hurriedly raised his hand to appease everyone, "Everyone, please listen to me, this is Liu Mingzhuo in the capital who is known as 'God does not leave a ghost and does not leave a name', you might as well listen to what he has to say first." ”

The crowd fell silent.

Liu Xialiang put away the gold medal and said in a deep voice: "According to what I have checked, there are indeed the remains of demon beasts turning into snakes on the Humo Slope, and the owner of Zhanhong Zhuang gathered the crowd to go to eliminate harm for the people. ”

"Then why did they die?" said one of them, asking in a loud voice, the doubts in everyone's hearts.

Liu Xialiang said: "According to legend, a beast will become a demon if it lives for a thousand years, and this snake on Daque Mountain is a thousand-year-old demon beast. It is a snake, and it should be poisonous, and the venom of this demon beast snake is not only poisonous but also hallucinating. Therefore," he paused, and said solemnly, "I can deduce that all the people on the Tiger Slope died of cannibalism because they were poisoned by the snake. The two members of the Qingyuan faction are probably also because of inhaling the poisonous gas of the snake, so their temperament has changed greatly. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience fell silent, and everyone was thoughtful.

After a moment of silence, someone asked, "What about the treasure?"

"As for the treasure," Liu Xialiang said slowly: "The snake's skin is as hard as iron, its eyes are like pearls, and its whole body is full of treasures, but because of the poisonous gas, the smell of it makes people change their temperament and kill them cruelly, so I have ordered my subordinates to burn them all." ”

"Ah, you actually burned the treasure?"

"Aren't the people on the Tiger Slope all dead in vain!"

The crowd suddenly became angry again.

"Don't make noise!" Master Zhida let out a lion roar, which immediately shocked everyone. He clasped his hands together and said loudly: "When all desires, there is no peace in the world. Since the deceased on the Tiger Slope is merciful and has gone away to kill demons and demons, if you want to seek treasure again, won't you tarnish the chivalrous name of the deceased?"

When he said this, the people who were still indignant just now suddenly felt ashamed.

Since the matter has been explained clearly, after some discussion, the crowd slowly dispersed.

Xu Shaofeng came to Master Zhida and gave him a deep salute, "Thank you Master for your help." ”

Master Zhida looked at him with a deep gaze, "Not long after the war was peaceful, the martial arts dispute broke out again. Xu Shaoxia's face is cold and kind, and he should be blessed in the future. Remember that there are thousands of troubles, just walk with your heart, and after the tribulation, there will be a moment of flowering. With that, he walked away.

After Xu Shaofeng saw Master Zhida leave, he came to Liu Xialiang's side and whispered to him: "Liu Mingzhuo, please stay, let's take a step to speak." ”

Liu Xialiang nodded, and followed him to a place where no one was.

Xu Shaofeng also gave him a deep salute, "Thanks to Liu Shenzhuo's hard work and mediation, this matter can be settled." Xu had nothing to repay. ”

Liu Xialiang waved his hand and said, "Xu Shaoxia doesn't need to be polite, I'm just doing business." If the rivers and lakes are turbulent, the country will also be uneasy. ”

Xu Shaofeng pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, there is something I haven't explained to you, it's about the demon pill of turning into a snake......

Before he finished speaking, Liu Xialiang raised his hand to stop him, "I am only responsible for investigating the tragedy of the Humopo armed fight, and now that the case is over, please don't have more complications." ”

Turning his eyes to the distant mountains, he recited the words of Master Zhida: "When all desires are desired, there is no peace in the world." After a pause, he said to Xu Shaofeng: "If Xu Shaoxia really wants to repay me, I hope that the demon pill that turns into a snake will never appear in the rivers and lakes, otherwise it will cause another bloody storm." ”

Xu Shaofeng saluted in admiration, bowed his head and said, "I understand." ”

After saying goodbye to Liu Xialiang, Xu Shaofeng found Lu Xiaohua, who was placed in the temple by him.

Lu Xiaohua hid in the temple and kept pinching a cold sweat for him, and couldn't help but sigh at this time: "Brother Liu is really amazing, he persuaded everyone in a few words!"

Xu Shaofeng stared at her and asked, "What about me?"

"What are you?" Lu Xiaohua was puzzled.

Xu Shaofeng glared at her dissatisfied, and turned his head to look at the sky.

The sky was as pure as water, the white clouds swayed leisurely, and he suddenly felt that his heart became clear and quiet. It's nice to explain clearly! I will be able to meet with the senior sister soon. He thought delightfully.

However, immersed in joy, he didn't notice at all that under the big trees dozens of feet away, a person was staring at him deadly.
