Chapter 3: More Than You Know (3)

Back to the moment.

After a short hesitation, Zhou Chuqing still said: "The master and the head of the family are close friends, and I dare not hide it." But I don't know if the master has ever heard of the book "Su Jing"?"

Master Tong Ze nodded and said: "I have heard that according to legend, this book is written by Peng Zu, who has lived for more than 800 years, and there is a set of magical health exercises recorded in the book. But this book has always been passed down only by word of mouth, and to this day I have never heard of anyone seeing it for sure..."

When he said this, his body suddenly shook and he exclaimed, "Ahh

Zhou Chuqing said in a deep voice: "That's right, it's indeed this book." It is this book that has caused today's woe. ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Master Tongze's face changed suddenly, and he was surprised and surprised in his heart.

After Lin Zongbian set up his own initiative of "exchanging books for books", he did collect many rare and unique books. Master Tongze and Lin Zongbian are friends of the same nature, and they are both book-loving and obsessed, with similar temperaments, so whenever Lin Zongbian obtains precious books, he will also invite Master Tongze to share the joy, and the number of times the two of them enjoy strange books together is even more numerous. But I didn't expect Lin Zongbian to be able to collect the "Su Jing", which can be called a strange book this time, which is really unbelievable.

Thinking of this, Master Tongze couldn't help but sigh secretly: "I don't know what kind of chance Zong Yan encountered to visit this magnificent book, but with his knowledge of the past and the present, if the identity of this book is determined, it will be convincing." Well, if this book is really as rumored to be, it contains a set of magical exercises, then it would be safer for less people to know about it, and it would not be surprising if I didn't tell me about it. But where did that widow learn the identity and whereabouts of this book?"

Zhou Chuqing saw Master Tongze frowning frequently, and immediately guessed what he was thinking, and immediately explained frankly: "It is really a coincidence that this book was obtained. It was three months ago, I accompanied the head of my family to Huashan to participate in the Luoyun Dao Chief's Sealing Knife Conference, and when we returned from the end of the trip, we returned via Kaifeng.

"When we arrived outside Kaifeng City, halfway six or seven miles away from the city, we suddenly met a group of tomb robbers. At that time, this group of thieves was fighting fiercely in the nest because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, and the situation in the field was that six people besieged one of them. I only had to look at it to see that these people were not practitioners, and their fists and feet relied on brute force. The besieged man lasted only a few moments before he was defeated, and he was knocked to the ground by the thieves, wailing in pain, and seeing that he would be killed after a few more punches and kicks.

Originally, the head of the family didn't want to care about this kind of lack of morality in digging people's graves, but the scene at that time was too tragic, and the head of the house couldn't bear it after all, so he came forward to stop those people from stopping. Unexpectedly, the gang of thieves took advantage of the large number of people, and instead of listening to the advice of the head of the house, they also made intimidating words. When I saw that they were so rude, I sent them away, and when I looked back to check the wounds of the man who had fallen to the ground, I saw that his face had turned as pale as paper, and in an instant he had turned pale again, and he had been vomiting blood.

I hurriedly leaned down to check on his injuries, but as soon as I probed his pulse, I found that his pulse was already as thin as a gossamer, and then I looked at his limbs, and found that someone had dealt him a heavy hand. The other party first broke one of his left ribs, and then beat the broken bone again and again until the broken bone was inserted into his heart... Alas, in the face of such a serious injury, even Hua Tuo has no possibility of saving him while he is alive, and my generation naturally has nothing to do.

Although I couldn't save him, but I couldn't bear to see the miserable state of his pain, so I wanted to send a true qi to relieve his pain, just as I reached over, he suddenly grabbed my hand vigorously and reached into his arms, I touched it, and took out the contents of it, it turned out to be an off-white brocade book. The man couldn't speak, but just winked at me vigorously, as if he had been trusted, and I couldn't bear to suffer him, so I had to nod my head, and when the man saw that I had accepted it, he immediately swallowed his breath.

"At that time, I was in a foreign land with the head of my family, and it was really difficult to properly dispose of his body, so I had to find a nearby pavilion and find someone to bring a message to a friend in Kaifeng to deal with it properly. After these trivial matters were taken care of, it was already night, and the head of my family and I hurried into the city to join the inn. When the evening came, when nothing happened, the head of the house began to flip through the brocade book. But strangely, there are no words in this book, just a simple drawing of a figure that gestures..."

When Master Tongze heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Huh?

Zhou Chuqing nodded and responded: "Exactly." ”

He immediately took out a blue cloth bag from his arms, and then gently unfolded it, and saw an off-white brocade book revealed inside. This book is about half a finger thick, the material is like silk brocade and its own luster, although it contains ancient meaning at first glance, it is not very conspicuous.

Master Tong Ze exclaimed, "This... This is the "Su Jing"? Chu Qing you..."

Zhou Chuqing didn't wait for Master Tongze to finish speaking, so he rushed to say: "The head of the family wanted to appreciate this book with the master, but it was delayed due to something, and it doesn't hurt to change me to do it for me at this moment." Besides, the wolf came for this book, and I can't fight against this thief, so it's not appropriate for this book to be left on me. Thinking that the treasures of my dignified Heavenly Empire can fall into the hands of the Japanese ronin, I guess the master doesn't want to see this happen!"

Master Tongze is such a wise person, and when he heard the words, he immediately heard Zhou Chuqing's words, and knew that he did have the intention of handing over this book to himself for safekeeping, but at the same time, he also used it as a test to see if he would accept the matter of rescuing Mrs. Lin Zongbian and his young son.

After making this judgment, he slowly moved his eyes to look at Zhou Chuqing, but when he saw that the other party's eyes were flashing at the moment, and his eyes were full of expectation, he immediately smiled slightly, but he smiled silently.

I have to say that Master Tongze is indeed like a torch, and Zhou Chuqing's purpose is exactly this, but the reason why he wants to make such a tentative move is indeed because he has concerns.

He has always been cautious and extremely peaceful, which has led to his style of acting not extreme, even if the situation is desperate at the moment, he still has to leave room for Master Tongze to choose. After all, the kung fu of the widow is unpredictable, and he came prepared, and this rescue will definitely be extremely dangerous, even if he loses his life for this, it is very possible.

Although Master Tongze and the head of the family, Lin Zongyan, are irreversible friends, whether he will sacrifice his life to rescue Zhou Chuqing's heart is really uncertain, not to mention that Lin Zongbian is the supreme martial arts supreme, if he bluntly asks for help and is politely refused, it will inevitably lose face. It is based on these complex considerations that Zhou Chuqing has to use words to test to ensure that there is room for maneuver between words.

But looking at the smiling Master Tongze in front of him, Zhou Chuqing couldn't guess the meaning behind this smile for a while, and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask out loud at this juncture, so he had to press his heart tightly because of nervousness, and quietly waited for the other party's final reply.

Fortunately, Master Tongze didn't let him wait too long, and after a while, he returned to the main story and said calmly: "Chu Qing's intentions Lao Wei knows, you have a good life to collect this book, as for the rescue of Zong Yan's wife and children, no matter how dangerous the situation is, Lao Wei will go all out." ”

Although he said this slowly, his tone was categorical, and people felt a sense of trust when they heard it.

In fact, since Master Tongze learned that Lin Zongbian's wife and children were captured, he had secretly made up his mind to rescue. Regardless of anything else, just by virtue of his identity as the former leader of the "Martial Arts Anti-Japanese Alliance", he has the responsibility to solve this matter, not to mention that this matter still happened to his close friend Lin Zongbian, and he even went to the soup to fight the fire. With Zhou Chuqing's temptation to him right now, he can't help but look a little stingy.

Sure enough, when Zhou Chuqing sensed Master Tongze's firm determination, he felt ashamed in his heart, and secretly scolded himself for living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and suddenly stood up and said loudly: "The master's kindness is so high that Chu Qing can't repay it, but he will be sent every day, Chu Qing will definitely die!"

Master Tongze hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, and said warmly: "This is a matter within the old man's business, and Chu Qing doesn't need to be polite. After helping him to sit down again, he asked, "Just now I was only talking about the origin of the Sujing, but I don't know what happened to the follow-up actions of the wolf?"
