Forced to such a juncture, in order to retrieve the bag, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, Chu Qingliu can only stand up and break through, not to mention that it is just two people and a guest room that has been furnished for a long time. said: "Thank you, Mr. Shan, if this thing is really from the Kongtong faction, if I can meet the people of the Kongtong faction in the future, I will speak well for your gang." ”

Shan Qi said: "You're welcome, the package was not ours in the first place, and if it is returned to you, it can be regarded as returning the goods to the original owner, come with me." "I was the first to leave the owner's bedroom and walked out. When the shopkeeper heard that the two were coming out, he hurriedly walked away and went to the guest room to report the news.

Chu Qingliu saw that there was no one outside the door, and when he passed by the counter, the shopkeeper was not there, so he secretly stayed interested. Looking at the mountain again, it seems that I am also a little moved.

The two walked through the front yard and came to the door of the two main houses in the backyard, Shan Qi raised his hand and patted on the door, Chu Qingliu secretly looked at the terrain again, and found that it was quite open, even if he couldn't defeat these two people and couldn't get his bag back, if he really wanted to leave, he wouldn't be embarrassed.

The mountain beat for a long time, but no one in the house answered the door. The two of them knew that it was not good, and Shanqi kicked open the door, and Chu Qingliu immediately looked inside the door.

The guest rooms of the inn were simply furnished, with only a bed, a table, two chairs, and a basin stand in the corner. It's winter again, and there is not even a tent on the bed, and you can see everything in the room at a glance.

In the middle of the room, in the open space, a man was tied up in a pile and curled up there. Shan Qi called "junior brother", took out a half-cut knife under his clothes, walked to the man in two steps, took out the knife like a fly to break the rope, took out the rags in his mouth, and then said: "Senior brother, don't worry, you speak slowly." ”

Huotian still didn't get up, and said, "Acupoint." Shoulder wells on both sides, sinuses on both sides, foot three miles, Jizhong, Yutang, dovetail, body pillars, Shinto, tendon contraction. "The person who came actually ordered many acupoints on his body, but he still couldn't rest assured, and he had to tie them up again with a rope, so he was really careful to get home, and it was no wonder that Huotian couldn't make a sound at all.

Shan Qi immediately started to solve the acupoints for his junior brother, but after the input of true qi, there was no effect at all, and Huo Tian snorted twice in pain, which shows that the method of pointing the acupoints on the opposite side is strange, and not everyone can solve it.

Shanqi carried his junior brother to the bed, pulled the quilt over him, and poured him a cup of hot tea to feed him. Huotian said: "Three people, one man, more than sixty, two women, eighteen or nineteen, all of them, covering their faces, things, all taken away." In my arms, there is a letter. "This man can make things clear when he speaks three words or two words.

Shan Qi reached out and took out a piece of paper from Huotian's arms, opened it, and read the words on it. Chu Qingliu looked at the piece of paper, and his heart was clear, but there was a look of indignation on his face.

Shan Qi saw it, handed the paper to Chu Qingliu, and said, "Friend Chu, please take a look." Chu Qingliu didn't pick it up, he hurriedly glanced at it, and only four words were written on the paper---- "I took it."

Chu Qingliu sat down on the chair and said, "Mr. Shan, I really can't believe this. If he had not said this, Shanqi would have suspected that his companion had taken the package.

Shan Qi said: "You said that this is a game that I asked people to do?"

Chu Qingliu said, "Isn't it?"

Huotian lay there, struggling and said, "Senior brother, help master." I, the deputy gang leader, the apprentice, thirteen, didn't come. ”

Shan Qi said: "You heard it all, right? Friend Chu, there are only fifteen people in our Dragon and Tiger Hall. If my brothers and sisters take their things and leave, and don't wait here, don't you have no way at all?"

Chu Qingliu said: "But you have to stay and inquire, don't you?" Otherwise, how can you curry favor with the Kongtong faction, if they ask about the origin of this package, how will you reply?"

Shan Qi said: "I'm just too greedy. If I had listened to my brother and walked with something, there would have been no such twists and turns. Friend Chu, you have to find your things yourself, I can't help you. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "Whether this package is from the Kongtong faction or not, if this matter reaches the ears of the Kongtong faction, the sin of the two is really not small, it is the two of you who interfere indiscriminately, which is the big thing for them." So, you'd better kill me. "There is only one mountain left, and it is no longer a concern, so you might as well explain it clearly and provoke him.

Shan Qi stretched out his hand to pull the knife, and then withdrew his hand. sighed and said: "My martial arts, there is only a fifty percent chance of winning with you, if you really want to leave, I can't stop it, and I won't bother about it." ”

Chu Qingliu said: "If I were in the situation of being in the second place, I wouldn't have to watch the excitement in Hengshan, and I wouldn't need to go to Quanzhou." With Mr. Shan's martial arts, as long as he does things effectively, Longhutang may not be able to gain a foothold. People say that it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and you must know that there are no flowers and plants under the big tree. Isn't it better to live freely than to be commanded? I'm gone. ”

got up and went out of the house, and the two of them did not stop or send each other, and they didn't even say a word. Chu Qingliu went all the way back to Jingsi Courtyard and went straight to the upper room, it was not dark yet.

The four maids in the room are each on one side, and they are concentrating on painting. In order to make it easier to copy, the Sanskrit book had been torn open, and Qu Lingyu was holding a piece of bent iron in his hand and pondering it under the lamp, and it seemed that the tie-up had also been disassembled.

Chu Qingliu went to the case of the four maids to take a closer look, and saw that they were actually drawing cats and tigers according to those Sanskrit words.

When Qu Lingyu saw him, he put down the iron piece and said, "Senior brother, how is it?

Chu Qingliu said: "This is not a mountain outside the mountain, as long as Gu Yu or Xiao Mofeng comes, it will not be difficult to do this." ”

Qu Lingyu said: "It's not them, they have their business." ”

Chu Qingliu said: "Could it be that you have invited the master? At the same time, I was worried in my heart, for fear that she would do something again, even if she no longer forced herself to shout "good junior sister", it would be difficult to deal with it.

Qu Lingyu smiled and said, "I asked that Qiu Liyin to go." I called him and told him to change out of his Taoist robe, put on Master's robes, and bring both of them with him, and cover their faces, and they were all taken back. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "Qiu Liyin just listened to you?"

Qu Lingyu smiled and said: "He scolded the master in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the master didn't want his life, and also relieved him of the poison of the Dragon Blood Loyalty Pill on his body, how much affection is this? I told him to run an errand, did he dare to say no? But thank you so much Senior Brother, you talked to that Shanqi endlessly, so they had the time to start." ”

took a copied page and said, "Since Mrs. Su said that this book seems to be a bit of a martial arts method, then it will not be wrong. But at the moment, I can't take it to ask Mrs. Su for advice in person, so I have to copy it down first and save it for later. This piece of iron is very strange, not a word, not a single frame, what is the use, I really can't guess. ”

Chu Qingliu took the piece of iron to take a closer look, and saw that the piece of iron was about four fingers wide, more than a foot long, and the two ends were made into round heads, and the whole body was dark black, and there were indeed no words or paintings. After reading it, he said: "At first, I thought that the person was wearing this headband just to protect himself or ward off evil spirits, and I also knew that there was a mezzanine inside, but I didn't take it apart to see." Do you want to get a fake one for this?"

Qu Lingyu said: "We can't even see what it is particular about, how can we cheat? ”

As he was talking, Wu Baoqi happened to come back, and Chu Qingliu talked about going down the mountain to get the clothes and bags in detail, and even the wife of the old owner of Mei was named Shui Youlan.

Wu Baoqi listened speechlessly, and said: "The name of the Western Sky Flying Eagle Mo Izumo, I have heard it for the first time, and it is not easy to say whether this bamboo leaf knife is his." ”

Qu Lingyu said: "Master, it's best to catch a few people from the Kongtong faction to ask, you will understand everything, and you won't have to guess like this." Now that the things are in our hands, we will have the first opportunity, and if we can touch the bottom again, we will have more room for maneuver. Preemptively, then preemptively. ”

Wu Baoqi said: "That's right, tomorrow Qingliu will go down the mountain and walk around, so let's see who is here." Miao Yiguan must not make any mess in this big event, and it is better to be careful in everything. ”

Qu Lingyu said, "Master, what familiar faces did you see when you went down the mountain today?"

Wu Baoqi smiled and said, "Where did I go down any mountain? I hid in the Scripture Pavilion and read the Taoist scriptures for a day. ”

Qu Lingyu said: "Master, you concentrate on reading the Taoist scriptures, but Senior Brother is concentrating on learning to lie. There is still a lot of progress in my skills, and I can compare to me. Senior brother, tell me, how did you come up with the idea of telling the two people in Longhutang that the fanged people want you to go to Quanzhou to meet each other?"

Chu Qingliu said: "I just thought that the east of Quanzhou was the sea, and I couldn't go east anymore, so I told them to send the clothes and bags to Quanzhou." ”

Qu Lingyu said: "It's still your heart." If it were to be replaced by me, I would never just ask them to go to Quanzhou, but to ask them to cross the sea to Qiongzhou. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "If you say that, they won't believe it." ”

Qu Lingyu said: "Not necessarily, believe it or not, and it is up to them." Since you said that we have arrived in Quanzhou, we should go to Quanzhou to make arrangements, and we can't let these two people run for nothing, who knows if there is a Wangjiadian outside Xiguan in Quanzhou? Maybe there is a Zhaojiadian, there is a Zhangjiadian and a Li store, but there is no Wangjiadian, don't you miss this lie? ”

Chu Qingliu said: "If they remember my words, they will not go to Quanzhou, but go back to western Sichuan." It doesn't matter if this false story is leaked or not, even if it is leaked, it is just for them to run empty, and there is no need to bother with it. ”

Qu Lingyu said: "Who told you to tell a lie as true, and return three cylinders of Fu Tangerine, a mountain in the west, a sea in the east or something, even if I change it, I will go to see the excitement, I can't feel at ease if I don't see it." Let's go and open a royal shop, just follow the arrangement you said, and see who will be waiting for you. There are no people in the Dragon and Tiger Hall, but if you wait for someone else, you can find out a lot of things. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "You can't trust that mountain and the fire field? They don't have anything in their hands, what's the use of going?"

Qu Lingyu said: "I'm afraid that these two Dragon and Tiger Hall people will not give up, so they have to go to the Kongtong faction to curry favor." The things are gone, and they still refuse to give up, and they have to find people from Kongtong to go to Quanzhou together. You don't have to worry about it, you don't have to open a store, and you don't need me to open a store. This shop will never be opened in vain, at least it can earn back a few taels of silver, so that I will always have to make difficulties with the poor. Obviously, he was ridiculing Chu Qingliu again. Chu Qingliu listened a lot, and knew that he couldn't argue with her, so he pretended not to hear it.

After breakfast the next day, Chu Qingliu went down the mountain early, just to investigate, so he didn't even bring a sword. Wu Baoqi still went to the Scripture Pavilion to read books, and Qu Lingyu took the maid to copy books in Jingsi Academy.

There were also five or seven market towns around the mountain, and Chu Qingliu went to the more prosperous Saucer Chong first. When he came to the Wangjia store where Qu Lingyu lived, he didn't want a room, and handed a small piece of broken silver to the shopkeeper, only saying that he wanted to find a person named Shanqi, and said the names and shapes of Shanqi and Huotian.

The shopkeeper accepted the money and said that there were no customers surnamed Shan or Huo in the store. He took the money, but he couldn't serve people, and he was very unhappy. said: "Guest, I haven't been in this business for a long time, and I have been in this business for more than 20 years, and the accents of guests from all over the world can still be distinguished." In my store, there are no customers from Xichuan, if you want to find friends from Xichuan, you might as well go to the east of the street to see Gujia and the old store, where there may be. I still have something to do, and I really can't leave, so I won't take you over. ”

Chu Qingliu thanked him and asked casually, "You can tell the accents of various places, who live in your store?"

The shopkeeper said: "Lingnan and Guangzhou, Zhejiang and Huai, Fujian and Jiangxi, and even Dali have two or three guests, but there is no Sichuan West." ”
