Roughly should fly the white jade plate, and the Ming Building is gradually full of cold.

Outside the clear light, people are in the refreshing air of three autumns.

Smelling Ye Huan, thinking of the wind, floating in the air like a female ride.

At this time, it is not suitable for the world, and it is all in Songshan to see it at night.

This partridge day is a phrase written by the Song people to describe the bright moon on the autumn night of Songshan Mountain.

At this moment, although it is not March and September, there is also a full moon hanging in the sky like a white jade plate, and the bright moonlight shines brightly on the Tingtao Peak. On the moonlit mountain road, a figure was climbing the stairs.

Tingtao Villa is built in the middle of the mountain, but here is the mountain road leading to the top of Tingtao Peak, there are few people who come, who will be in the middle of the night? The mountain wind in early spring is still cold, blowing the faint mist in the mountains at night, blowing the man's robe, the moonlight shines on his face, he is now the owner of Tingtao Villa, Lin Shoucheng.

It's so late, what is Lin Shoucheng doing at the top of the peak alone?

His steps are not hurried, and every step is not fast but very calm, and he seems to be confident. The trail was steep and difficult, but he walked easily and should be very familiar with the roads.

He is indeed familiar with the road here, and when he encounters something unpleasant from childhood to adulthood, he will run to the top of the peak alone and stay alone, looking at the magnificent mountain scenery, or the stars in the night sky, and the boredom in his heart will gradually subside. This is his secret, and no one knows. Since he was a child, his father, Lin Suifeng, who should have thought he was his biological father, was always busy with his own affairs and didn't care about him, so he didn't know.

But he inadvertently discovered a secret of Lin Suifeng, that is, on the night of the fifteenth day of every month, Lin Suifeng would go to a pavilion near the peak to sit for a while, sometimes he was alone, and sometimes there would be a person in a black cloak waiting for him.

Now that Lin Suifeng is gone, it is impossible to see the black cloak again, and the one who wants to see the black cloak has been replaced by him, Lin Shoucheng.

The mountain road suddenly took a sharp turn, and on the side of the mountain road near the cliff, a somewhat dilapidated pavilion was hidden in the shadow cast by the mountain wall. The somewhat broken cornices and corners, like a monster with teeth and claws, hid in the shadows, making people shudder.

Lin Shoucheng approached the gazebo, and in the gazebo stood with his back to him a man covered in a black cloak. He stood there as if he became one with the shadows around him, giving life to the black shadows around him, quietly peeking at Lin Shoucheng, waiting for him to come over, waiting for a bite to devour him. Only Lin Shoucheng knew in his heart how high the martial arts, how much power, and how terrifying this black shadow was.

Lin Shoucheng walked to the pavilion and stopped.

The black cloak was still motionless, but his voice was very low: "You're here?"

Lin Shoucheng lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”

The voice of the black cloak sounded as if it was not made by a human being, and it was unusually dull: "They're all gone?"

Lin Shoucheng still lowered his head and looked very respectful: "Yes, the people from Wudang and Tangmen left in the morning, and Ye Feng and his party also followed Chen to Shaolin Temple in the afternoon." ”

The black cloak groaned for a moment: "Did you really go to the Shaolin Temple, those bald donkeys have been closed for decades, and they have never asked about the grievances of the rivers and lakes, why are they so enthusiastic about his poisonous injuries?"

Lin Shoucheng still stood respectfully and did not say anything.

After thinking for a moment, the black cloak finally spoke again: "But this is not important, the important thing is that for you, it is finally over." ”

The black cloak slowly turned around to face Lin Shoucheng, the moonlight on the ground was reflected on a bronze grimace mask in the pitch-black cloak, this person was the mysterious son who was hiding behind everything in everyone's mouth, Xuanyuan Gongzi!

His eyes were hidden in the grimace mask, and he couldn't see his eyes clearly, and the muffled voice echoed in the mask with a metallic feel: "Finally, you still succeeded." ”

Lin Shoucheng lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it: "It's all up to the son." ”

Xuanyuan Gongzi smiled, and there was a strangeness in his dull voice: "You still have the ability yourself." In my opinion, you are not only in swordsmanship, but your ability to do things is much stronger than your father, oh no, it should be your uncle Lin Suifeng. ”

Lin Shoucheng said: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Prince Xuanyuan glanced at him and continued: "Back then, this seat let Lin Suifeng be in charge of the Thirty-six Villages of the Green Forest, and almost controlled all the business of the Northern Underworld, which has always been our secret source of wealth. However, he has not made much progress in swordsmanship, but he has begun to become obsessed with money. He didn't know that the Lin family's swordsmanship was originally very flawed, and the ancestors of the Lin family who founded this swordsmanship should not have practiced it, and many places were taken for granted and speculated, if it weren't for a genius like his younger brother Lin Congyun, it would be impossible to exert his power. Lin Suifeng didn't have such a genius, and the more he practiced the Lin family's swordsmanship, the more damage he would do to himself. ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to Lin Shoucheng and said: "That's why this seat passed on another set of swordsmanship to you, it seems that you have inherited the genius of your father Lin Congyun to some extent, in just three years, you can practice swordsmanship to more than Lin Suifeng, who has been practicing hard for decades, it seems that this seat really did not mistake you." ”

Lin Shoucheng hung his head, and he was even more respectful.

Prince Xuanyuan seemed to be very satisfied with his respect: "Originally, he handled so much gold and silver, and it was understandable to swallow it in private, this seat has always turned a blind eye, but his greed is getting bigger and bigger, and he is becoming more and more dishonest, and he wants to get out of the grasp of this seat." Five years ago, he deliberately arranged to rob and kill the people and horses of the imperial court transporting official silver, which led the Criminal Department to intervene in the investigation of the 36 villages of the green forest. And he hid all the gold and silver treasures in Tingtao Villa, and played a trick of feigning madness, trying to lead the investigation of the imperial court to this seat, but he found the right time to disappear from the world with these treasures. ”

Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Gongzi sneered a few times: "It's a pity that he didn't expect me to use a little trick, not only did Chang Wuyi of the Criminal Department not track down this seat, but he was targeted by Liu Qingyun and Gu Qingyi." These two men stayed at Tingtao Villa all day long, so that he could not find a chance to transport those treasures away. Actually, when you first met me here three years ago, I decided that you would replace him. That's why I told you all the secrets of your Lin family, including your life experience. ”

Lin Shoucheng's attitude became more and more respectful: "Only after Gongzi Duomeng taught me to see the true face of this old horseman. ”

Xuanyuan Gongzi said: "In the past three years, you have practiced according to the swordsmanship taught to you by this seat, and you have already surpassed Lin Suifeng in swordsmanship, but this seat has always asked you to hide your strength, pretend to be poor in swordsmanship, and let Lin Suifeng and Wudang's two brothers fight." Sure enough, in order to keep the secret of the treasure, he couldn't help but kill the three swordsmen, and he also pretended to be clever and wanted to blame the gray man, which led to an investigation by the imperial court, and in the end he not only lost his reputation but also lost his life. And those treasures were unknowingly transferred away by us, only one thing was beyond the expectations of this seat, that is, in order to buy time for us to transfer the treasures, this seat even dispatched people from the ten halls of Yama to snipe Tang Da, plus the people arranged by Lin Suifeng, originally thought that Tang Da would die, but in the end he still arrived at Tingtao Villa unscathed. Fortunately, we have transferred the treasure in time, and by the way, no one doubts the whereabouts of the treasure, right?"

Lin Shoucheng said: "No, they all think that it should be transferred by Lin Suifeng." ”

Prince Xuanyuan nodded: "That's good." This time you not only succeeded in avenging your parents' revenge, but also played a good role as a filial son worthy of sympathy, in the future, you will not only be the owner of the first sword villa in the world, but also have a loving father in the hall, a wife on the side, and envy others. On the rivers and lakes, he has also gained the trust and support of Wudang, Shaolin, and even these people in the Tang Sect and the imperial court, which is really promising. You're not going to forget your promise, are you?"

Lin Shoucheng bowed down and replied: "How dare you forget, it's all up to the son's orders." ”

Prince Xuanyuan looked very satisfied: "Very good, then from today on, you will be the new Song Emperor of the Ten Palaces of Yama, and you will only obey the dispatch of this seat in the future." ”

Lin Shoucheng knelt down on one knee: "My subordinates see my son, and I am willing to go to the soup for my son, and I will not give up!"

There was a smug and gloomy laugh in his ears, and when he looked up again, Xuanyuan Gongzi was gone, he disappeared into the shadows, as if he had never appeared, and only his voice came from his ears: "You live your little life well, I will come to you when you need it." ”

The voice was ethereal, and I saw that the person had gone far away.

Lin Shoucheng stood up, standing on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back, the mountain wind blew through the cold, blowing his horns high. He looked at the dark mountain shadows in the moonlight, but there was a smile on his face, a smug and conceited smile.

In the moonlight, his smile looked particularly eerie and chilling.
