() In Muzhou, when it comes to the two daughters of the Yang family, everyone knows it, and no one knows it. When Yang Yucheng arrived, his wife became pregnant and gave birth to twin sisters. It is said that on the eve of childbirth, Mrs. Yang dreamed that two cloud-stepping unicorns flew into her abdomen, and then gave birth to two daughters of her compatriots, so she named Yang Huiqi and Yang Huilin.

After the two little girls grew up, they showed their extraordinary intelligence and qualifications, and the Yang family was also willing to train the two, and spent money to invite many masters to teach them poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

When he was twelve years old, the Yang family sent two daughters to participate in the night reunion of the sect, but they had no choice but to pass the test. Later, Yang Yucheng found a medium-sized sect in Qianlong County for the two of them to cultivate immortals, but unfortunately the qualifications of the two in cultivating immortals were too poor, and their interest in cultivating immortals was not in cultivating immortals, so after only learning some basic immortal cultivation techniques, the sisters had to go down the mountain and go home. Yang Yucheng saw that his two daughters really didn't like cultivating immortals, so he didn't force it anymore.

When the second daughter was eighteen years old, they both went out like hibiscus out of the water, which made the eyes of many sons and brothers near and far hot. From the day after the eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony of the two girls, matchmakers went to the Yang's mansion in an endless stream. It's just that the two girls have a very high vision, how can ordinary ordinary people see it? Two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Yang Huiqi and Yang Huilin are both twenty years old.

coincided with Muzhou's "Three Treasures Competing for Fish", I don't know which tendon in Yang Yucheng's brain he used, and he planned to give the two daughters to Yan Guangyu together. "Marrying the third son of Yan and the fourth son of Yan", these are all pretenses for external claims. After Yang Yucheng told Mrs. Yang about this idea, of course Mrs. Yang was dissatisfied, but Yang Yucheng was already overwhelmed by the desire for profit, and in his eyes, nothing was more important than the future of the family. Although the two sisters Yang Huiqi and Yang Huilin were 10,000 reluctant, their father's fate was difficult to disobey, and Yang Yucheng sent someone to keep an eye on the boudoir of the two at all times, not giving them a chance to escape.

In the hall of Yanfu, Yang Huiqi and Yang Huilin slowly stood up from the box, the two held hands, one was wearing a blue gauze skirt and the other was wearing a green gauze skirt, they were exactly the same delicate and beautiful faces, and they both frowned slightly, looked sad, slightly bowed, and looked at Yan Guangyu in the Taishi chair timidly with big eyes uneasily, and the overwhelmed expression was particularly pitiful, and Yan Guangyu's eyes were straight.

"I once heard that the two daughters of Yangfu are peerless beauties, and they can see it today, and their reputation is well deserved. Yan Guangyu's eyes lit up excitedly, and his gaze swept over the two lovely people without any scruples. He was already fantasizing, ** overnight, hugging left and right, how ** it would be.

Seeing Yan Guangyu's squinting gaze, Yang Yucheng felt a little disgusted, he just wanted to get things done and leave Yan Mansion as soon as possible.

"Thirty-six boxes of congratulatory gifts, which are also the dowries of my two daughters, happen to be six or six of the best, I wonder if Lord Yan is satisfied?"

Yan Guangyu nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Satisfied, satisfied, hahaha." Come on, help the two young ladies into the backyard house. Ah, by the way, carry the congratulatory gifts with you. He was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait.

walked up to the two maids and took Yang Huiqi and Yang Huilin out of the wooden box. The moment they walked out of the hall, the sisters both looked back at their greedy father, and their resentful eyes stabbed Yang Yucheng's nerves fiercely. At this moment, Yang Yucheng was shaken, not knowing whether his choice was right or wrong. Thinking about the joy that his daughters brought to him from childhood to adulthood, Yang Yucheng suddenly felt reluctant, but when he thought about the huge wealth brought by "Baiwei Dried Fish" and the transcendent status of the city lord of Muzhou, he felt that such a sacrifice was worth it. "I had to endure the pain of parting my love...... "He comforted himself in his heart. In order not to be sad anymore, he lowered his head and ignored the heartbreaking gaze cast by his two daughters.

Seeing that his father deliberately avoided his gaze, the last glimmer of hope in the hearts of Yang Huiqi and Yang Huilin was also shattered. The two sighed softly, turned their heads and left with tears in their eyes.

"Yang Yucheng, this bastard thing......" Even Ma Changxing on the side couldn't stand it, he clenched his fists and thought hatefully, "It is said that children are like meat in their hearts, how can he, a father, be so ruthless...... Well, after I finish it, let him regret it!"

Yang Yucheng couldn't see his daughter, and he seemed to feel better in his heart. Looking at Yan Guangyu's satisfied expression, he seemed to see the scene where he took over the "Baiwei Dried Fish" in the future, ascended to the throne of the lord of Muzhou City, and suppressed the horses and cattle, making the Yang family the biggest force in Muzhou.

After the thirty-six boxes were emptied, Yan Guangyu waved his hand to Yang Yucheng, signaling him to step aside first, and then said to Ma Changxing and Niu Chengchang: "I don't know if the two of you have any 'special' congratulatory gifts for me?" When saying the word "special", Yan Guangyu deliberately accentuated his tone, and the implication was: "The Yang family has already sent two beautiful women to me, if your congratulatory gifts are ordinary things, don't want to move me." ”

Ma Changxing raised his hand at Niu Chengchang and motioned for him to come first. Niu Chengchang was also not polite, took two steps forward, bowed and said: "Lord Yan, my Niu family's congratulatory gifts are better than those of the Yang family." ”

"Oh?" Yan Guangyu was full of interest, "Bring it up and show it to me." After seeing the two daughters of the Yang family, Niu Chengchang can still say this, it seems that his congratulatory gift is extraordinary.

At this time, Yang Yucheng frowned, and Niu Chengchang looked very sure with a smile on his face. The last thing Yang Yucheng wants to see is that the other two families come up with better gifts, in that case, his two daughters will be in vain.

Ma Changxing was surprised by Niu Chengchang's self-confidence, but he was not worried at all, he thought that the treasure he found a few days ago was the most precious gift.

Niu Chengchang took out an item from his arms and said loudly: "Lord Yan, this is a congratulatory gift from the Niu family, Big Dipper Seven Star Silk!"

"What?" exclaimed almost simultaneously from those present.

Niu Chengchang smiled proudly, this scene was exactly what he wanted to see.

Yan Guangyu hurriedly stood up from the Taishi chair, walked over and took the items in Niu Chengchang's hand, stroked it gently, and observed carefully.

A piece of clean white silk seemed to reflect the light slightly under the bright lights of the hall.

"Is this really the Big Dipper Silk?" Yan Guangyu was skeptical.

The matter of the Five Dou Star Silk has spread all over the Qinglong Continent, and both the immortal cultivators and the common people of Li know its preciousness. After tea and dinner, people are talking about the Five Dou Star Silk, talking about the Zhan Lu Immortal Sword in the South Dipper Huoyun Cave and the Taia Immortal Sword in the West Dipper Jinge Cave. In fact, these news are all hearsay, and only those who enter the cave know what the specific situation is.

In addition, people thought that the eastern, northern, and central three star silks had not yet been born, so the attraction of the peerless immortal sword drove many immortal cultivators to look around for the whereabouts of the three star silks, and mobilized the people when there were not enough people. Ordinary people were also willing to exchange a piece of silk cloth that was of little use to them for a panacea of longevity.

"Lord Yan, of course it's true, you can give it a try. Niu Chengchang is full of confidence.

Yan Guangyu spread the white silk on the table, lifted the waist scarf, took out a dagger, and slashed it on the white silk. He has only cultivated immortals for a few years, and if the spiritual power in his body is absent, he can only use this method to detect it.

In fact, the degree of spiritual manifestation has quite high requirements for spiritual power, not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary immortal cultivators may not be able to reach that level, so they can only distinguish its authenticity by drawing the silk without breaking, tearing the silk without cracking, and burning the silk without combustible.

Yan Guangyu picked up the white silk, grabbed both sides and pulled it hard, and it really didn't crack. He picked up the lampshade again and hung the white silk on the candle flame, and for a long time, the white silk did not burn.

Niu Chengchang was not nervous at all, he had already tested it before coming to Fuzhou.

"Really, it's really the Five Dou Star Silk!" Yan Guangyu was overjoyed.

Niu Chengchang said: "Lord Yan, I heard that you once asked the Yeli Sect to ask for the elixir to no avail, and now you have the Big Dipper Seven Star Silk, you can use this silk to exchange with the Yeli Sect." ”

Yan Guangyu shook his head while stroking the white silk in his hand: "Yeli Sect? Now that the Seven Great Sects are all looking for the Five Dipper Star Silk, since the Big Dipper Seven Star Silk is in my hands, how can I waste this good opportunity? The Red Sun Sect and the Taiqing Sect are both good at Danshu, so why should I leave the sect that night?" In the past, he asked the Night Leaving Sect for the pill but failed, and he had always been dissatisfied. Suddenly, he remembered something again and asked, "By the way, how did you know that this is the Big Dipper?"

Niu Chengchang replied: "This was found in Muzhou, so far north, I think it should be the Big Dipper, right?"

"Is it the Big Dipper Silk that was found in the north? Muzhou is located in the northeast corner of the Qinglong Continent, maybe it's the Big Dipper Five Star Silk? Hey, it doesn't matter what it is, anyway, which piece is very important. After Yan Guangyu finished speaking, he carefully folded the white silk and put it in his arms.

Yang Yucheng and Ma Changxing's faces were ugly. Yang Yucheng knew that it was bad, Yan Guangyu was the king of the county, and what he hoped most was to prolong his life. There are countless beauties all over the world. Longevity, fate opportunities cannot be forced. He never expected that Niu Chengchang would be able to find such a precious thing, with this piece of silk, let alone changing one pill, it is estimated that ten or twenty will not be a problem.

Yan Guangyu said to Ma Changxing: "What is the gift of the Ma family?" There were two surprises in a row tonight, and he was in a good mood.

The expression on Ma Changxing's face was very complicated: "Lord Yan, I didn't expect that my Ma family's congratulatory gift would be the same as the Niu family's ......" Saying that, he also took out a piece of white silk from his arms!

Everyone present was silent and dumbfounded. Another piece of five-star silk?

Yan Guangyu didn't say much, took Ma Changxing's white silk, and also began to draw, tear, and burn the silk, and the result was the same, there was no problem with the three tests.

"Hahaha!" Yan Guangyu suddenly laughed excitedly. Now I made a lot of money, and two pieces of five-dipper star silk were more than enough to give to my family in exchange for pills.

"It's really yours!" Yan Guangyu patted Niu Chengchang and Ma Changxing on the shoulders affectionately.

Yang Yucheng on the side trembled slightly, and he was about to lose his position, scolding himself in his heart. Thinking about it, I was proud and self-righteous before, but the gifts of the cow and horse were more expensive than my own. "It's over, it's over......! Hui Lin ...... "At this time, he felt remorseful in his heart.

"Lord Yan, do you look at this 'dried fish' thing......" Niu Chengchang asked anxiously. Ma Changxing also took out a piece of five-star silk, not knowing who Yan Guangyu would choose in the end.

"Well, it's easy! Wouldn't it be okay for one of you two to take over the 'Baiwei Dried Fish' and the other to become the Lord of Muzhou City?" Yan Guangyu turned to Yang Yucheng again, "After your two daughters become my concubines, you will naturally be my father-in-law, and when I exchange for the elixir, I will definitely share one with you!"

"Thank you. Yang Yucheng said softly. In an instant, he seemed to age a lot.

"Lord Yan......" Niu Chengchang and Ma Changxing said in unison. Yan Guangyu's decision was clearly perfunctory, of course they didn't want to divide money and power.

Yan Guangyu seemed to have guessed their thoughts, and waved his hand impatiently, so frightened that the two of them swallowed the words that came to their mouths.

"Tell me about the two of you, where did you find the Five Dou Star Silk?" Yan Guangyu thought to himself that the Five Dou Star Silk was still one of the last pieces, and he might be able to get some clues from the two of them.

"Back to the prince, my star silk was bought from a friend at a high price. Niu Chengchang arched his hand.

Ma Changxing glanced at Niu Chengchang, and also arched his hand: "Lord Wang, my star silk was also purchased from a friend at a huge cost. ”

Yan Guangyu was happy: "The 'friend' you two are talking about, shouldn't it be the same person?

"Luo Huailiang!" Niu Chengchang and Ma Changxing said in unison again, and then the two looked at each other with wide eyes in surprise.

"Heh, I guessed it, it's really the same person. Isn't this person an immortal cultivator?How could there be two pieces of Five Dou Star Silk?" Yan Guangyu asked.

Horse length

Xing said: "Lord Wang, this person is not an immortal cultivator, not even a martial artist, he is just a tomb robber." ”

Yan Guangyu thought for a while, put away his smile and said solemnly: "You go back and bring him to me, the sooner the better!" As soon as he heard that Luo Huailiang was a tomb robber, he immediately speculated in his heart that the last remaining piece of Five Dou Star Silk was in the hands of this person! Since Luo Huailiang sold two pieces of Five Dou Star Silk to others, it is very likely that he has a third piece in his hand, maybe he found three pieces of treasure silk when he robbed which tomb! The only thing he is worried about now is that he has sold the last piece of treasure silk, in short, the top priority is to find Luo Huailiang as soon as possible.

Yan Guangyu gave the order, and the two didn't dare to slack off, so they quickly turned around and left the Yan Mansion. When stepping out of the threshold, Ma Changxing glanced back at Yang Yucheng, who was sad and disheartened, even if he was full of sympathy, but there was nothing he could do, he shook his head, sighed lightly, and closed the door of Yan Mansion.

After leaving the mansion, Niu Chengchang immediately asked, "Master Ma, what should I do now?" Are you very familiar with Luo Huailiang?"

"I'm not very familiar! I've only met a few times before, and they've all sold me what he's gotten from robbing tombs. What about the head of the Niu family?" Ma Changxing asked rhetorically.

"I'm not familiar with it either! This little thief actually does business at two ends!" Niu Chengchang was angry, and said with a secret thought in his heart: "If he had sold me both pieces of silk at the beginning, there would have been nothing to do with the Ma family!"

Ma Changxing responded: "Yes...... But what he was thinking about in his heart was not this, he had been wondering, what Yan Guangyu was going to do with Luo Huailiang. After a little speculation, he roughly guessed Yan Guangyu's thoughts. He was just about to tell Niu Chengchang about his speculation, when he suddenly thought about it and came up with a better plan. If Luo Huailiang didn't have the third piece of silk, it would be fine, if he did, then ask him to buy it and give it to Yan Guangyu, then the big thing would be done! Anyway, Yan Guangyu was looking for the third piece of silk, as long as he got the treasure silk, it didn't matter if he saw Luo Huailiang or not. In short, you must find Luo Huailiang before Niu Chengchang!

I think so, but where is Luo Huailiang? This person's whereabouts are erratic on weekdays, and he only appears once in a while in Muzhou. What if he used the last piece of Five Dou Star Silk to exchange the elixir with which Immortal Cultivation Sect? The more Ma Changxing thought about it, the more nervous he became, so he said goodbye to Niu Chengchang: "Master Niu, I suddenly remembered that there was something else at home, so I left first. With that, he got into the sedan chair and left in a hurry.

Niu Chengchang lowered his head and groaned for a moment, and then left.

On the way back to Muzhou, Ma Changxing always thought that the sedan chair was too slow, so he simply bought a carriage and rushed back day and night. After returning to Muzhou, he immediately ordered his subordinates to scatter to find Luo Huailiang's traces. He himself was not idle, and went to restaurants, gambling houses and other places with mixed crowds to inquire about Luo Huailiang's whereabouts.

After a day of running, Ma Changxing finally heard some useful news. Luo Huailiang has several major problems, greedy for cups, likes to gamble, and lustful, so most of the money he robs and sells is squandered in restaurants, gambling houses and brothels. He usually has no fixed residence, and when he has no money, he goes to the mountains and old forests to look for ancient tombs.

His father and grandfather were both well-known tomb robbers, and he had developed a skill in listening to tombs since he was a child. This tomb sound is an echo caused by walking in an empty tomb underground. In addition, he knew a little about feng shui and found the approximate location, and if he didn't find the ruined monument, he relied on stomping his feet hard to listen to the echo to determine the location of the tomb.

Relying on this skill, he was very efficient in robbing tombs, often robbing several tombs in a row, and became rich overnight. But he has always had a soft spot for Muzhou, and when he has money, he will come here to spend it, because in the only brothel in Muzhou, there is a prostitute Li Xiulan who he loves very much.

Ma Changxing decided to start looking for Luo Huailiang from this Li Xiulan.

That night, Ma Changxing went to Xiaoyaojin. The old bustard of Xiaoyaojin was taken aback when he saw Ma Changxing, the patriarch of the three major families in Muzhou would never appear here in normal times. If you can catch a big fish, the bustard will be happy to crook his mouth. She hurriedly greeted her and put her arms around Ma Changxing: "Yo, isn't this the head of the Ma family, why do you have the heart to come to my Yaojin for recreation today......?"

Ma Changxing pushed her away a little unhappily: "I don't need other girls, I just want to find Li Xiulan." ”

The old bustard paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Master Ma, I'm really sorry, Miss Xiulan has already been ordered." Why don't I arrange other girls for you, and make sure you are satisfied......"

Ma Changxing interrupted the bustard impatiently: "No need, I just want to find Li Xiulan." Farewell!" he turned and left, leaving the old bustard with a puzzled face. "What's the matter with this man? The bustard muttered to himself. Without thinking too much, another guest came to the door, and she hurriedly greeted her.

Ma Changxing returned home and took a sip of tea, the recent days of running made him tired, but the urgency of the matter made him unable to calm down. Helplessly, Li Xiulan was taken away this night, so he could only go again the next day.

After a sleepless night, Ma Changxing got up early the next morning, washed his face indiscriminately, and then went to Xiaoyaojin again.

Xiaoyaojin does business in the evening and ends the next morning. The men who had a night of fun with the prostitutes walked out of the green building one after another, and the old bustard was busy sending off the guests, and he caught a glimpse of Ma Changxing who had just gotten off the sedan chair.

"Master Ma, you're here again, but unfortunately we're all closing, why don't you come back tonight?" said the old bustard with a smile.

Ma Changxing took out a gold ingot from the money bag on his waist and stuffed it into the old bustard's hand: "Qianpo, I just want to see Miss Xiulan." ”

When the bustard saw the gold, his eyes lit up. A big ingot of gold just to see a girl, and she had never met such a generous guest.

But the old bustard didn't agree immediately, hesitated for a moment, she reluctantly stuffed the gold back into Ma Changxing's hand, and explained embarrassedly: "Master Ma, I'm sorry, Miss Xiulan, she is not in good health, I'm afraid I can't see you." It's better to wait for the girl to get better, and then you can come again!"
