"Poyang Lake, Old Man Temple, Chaos Beast, Yin Soldier Dance ......"

As the leader of the martial arts alliance, Wen Tianting was just chanting this sentence over and over at the moment. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even the two golden balls that he was playing with endlessly in his hand gradually stopped. Looking at his expression, he was vaguely out of the world, and he didn't know what to do.

Now it is the time of spring flowers, and on the land of Jiangnan, there is a good place for mixed peanut trees and warblers flying around. You must know that at this time of year in the past, Wen Tianting would bring a group of disciples and protégés to go out to ask for spring, and only look for the ruins of historical sites along the way for a spring outing. And the disciples and protégés of the same group are looking for allusions and visiting the past, and listening to the teachings of the current martial arts alliance leader "swallowing stars and spitting clouds, the sun and the moon shine together", which can really be said to have benefited a lot, and it was worth the trip.

However, this year is an exception, seeing that it is almost late spring, Wen Tianting has no intention of going out to play. If it were someone else, most people would probably think that this Wen Alliance Master was over half a hundred years old after all, and he had wasted a lot of effort in the military disaster in Dongting Lake a few days ago, so he couldn't raise the interest in spring outing this year, but Wen Liang knew that this was not the case.

Wen Liang is sixty-five this year, and he has been sitting in the position of the head of Wenfu for thirty-two years, and he knows this martial arts alliance leader of the two capitals and thirteen envoys. Since his master led the rivers and lakes, he had to deal with hundreds of things every day, and he had never seen him haggard, even if he was a master of the eight great sword sects in that battle, on the second day, the master had already packed up his spirit and immediately devoted himself to the war in Mobei, and he was full of energy. If this is not the case, how can my own master sit firmly in the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance at the feet of this son of heaven?

However, not long ago, in the battle of Dongting Lake, although it did not recover the lost salary of the imperial court as promised, it accidentally killed Jiang Wangcai, the owner of Dongting Lake, and even the big names such as Fang Dongfeng, Zheng Qianjin and Lu Chenghao under Jiang Wangcai have all died, thus recovering the land of Huguang that has been independent for the imperial court for more than ten years. Under this anger and joy, the emperor finally issued a decree to exempt all responsibility for the theft of military salaries, and the people involved were truly relieved.

Although the current emperor has the style of settling accounts after the autumn and often does some things that go back on his word, according to his temperament for fear of leaving a handle for future generations, even if he wants to make trouble afterwards because of this case of theft of military salaries, I am afraid that it will be a few years later. At that time, these people involved in it will be in the government and the opposition, whether they will go or stay, and naturally they will have already made proper preparations, so there is no need to worry.

Therefore, Wen Tianting's worries at this moment naturally have nothing to do with the battle at Dongting Lake, which has already turned a page, but comes from a letter - a letter that Wen Tianting has been repeating for many days.

Speaking of the origin of this letter, it is a bit appalling, and it can even be said to be a rather strange thing.

You must know that there are nearly 100 people in the family Ding Nursing Home in Wenfu, and there are naturally many people with high martial arts, but no one has seen who sent this letter from beginning to end. By the time the servants found the letter, it had already appeared out of thin air above the lobby of the Wen Mansion, hanging with a wisp of blood-red silk thread under the plaque that read, "Swallow the stars and spit out the clouds, the sun and the moon shine together".

Unless there are extremely important guests in the lobby of the Wenfu, they are almost closed on weekdays, and when the letter is found, the doors and windows of the lobby are also tightly locked, and there is no sign of damage;

Therefore, the person who left this letter is not only an extremely powerful person, but also has to be haunted in the mansion where the leader of the martial arts alliance hears about it, and he does not leave the slightest clue. Just ask about this skill, this courage, I am afraid that there is no one in the world today who can do it, or the person who sent the letter is not a person at all.

So when Wen Tian heard and asked about the origin of this letter, Wen Liang, who was the head of Wenfu, gave only one word: "ghost".

It's not a legendary demon or a monster, but a name for a kind of person - "inner ghost".

After Wen Tian heard the content of this letter, he no longer seemed to care about how this letter appeared in his house, but fell into deep thought, and from time to time he muttered the twelve words "Poyang Lake, Lao Ye Temple, Chaos Beast, Yin Soldier Dance", as if there was something extremely difficult to decide, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while. And his contemplation was that a few days passed, until Wen Liang, who was the head of the Wen Mansion at this moment, came to report, and Wen Tianting still seemed a little absent-minded.

Therefore, Wen Liang could only tell him truthfully, and said: "Master Qiyu, since this morning, the three wells in the house have dried up, although the subordinates barely brought up a few buckets of fishy yellow muddy water, and then the water was completely cut off. And the three well-digging experts invited by Wen Gong successively, after a thorough investigation for half a day, they still couldn't find the reason. ”

Wen Tianting just nodded, and didn't say much, as if the three wells with water cut off in Wen Liang's words were not his own home. And when Wen Liang saw that the old man didn't answer, he naturally didn't dare to say more, let alone ask more, otherwise he would never have stayed by Wen Tianting's side all the time, and stayed for thirty-two years in one breath.

I thought that the conversation would end here, but after half a sound, Wen Tianting took the initiative to speak, and asked without warning, "Do you think something is strange?"

This question seems to be a bit clueless, but because the two of them have been together for a long time, they can understand each other's meaning without even opening their mouths. That Wen Liang didn't dare to be careless, and thought carefully for a moment, and then replied slowly: "Wen Liang only cares about what he should do, so I hope that the old man will take care of his body, don't work too hard." ”

Wen Tian smiled slightly, and seemed to be very satisfied with this answer. But after a moment, his face was sad again, and he said slowly: "You guessed well, the reason why I have been restless these days is because of this letter. As he spoke, he suddenly took out a squarely folded piece of gold-sprinkled rice paper from his arms, stretched out his hand to Wen Liang, and said, "Read." ”

Wen Tian's actions suddenly made Wen Liang slightly stunned, it turned out that what the old man was thinking about at the moment was not the water cut off from the well at all, but the strange letter. This old man, who never talks about the affairs of the rivers and lakes with himself, is obviously a bit "out of bounds" at the moment.

Although Wen Liang was surprised, he didn't dare to refuse. He immediately took the stack of rice paper handed out by Wen Tianting with both hands, and carefully unfolded the paper.

On the paper is a letter written in thick ink and heavy pen, during which the pen is vigorous and powerful, and the strength is even more direct through the back of the paper, even Wen Liang, who is not familiar with martial arts, also knows that the person who writes the letter must be extraordinary; what surprises him even more is that the title on the letter is actually "Brother Lie" three words, which is clearly the expression of his own master who has not been used for many years, it is said to be taken from the sentence in Meng De's poem "The martyr is in his twilight years, and his heart is strong".

Although Wen Liang had not read the strange letter, he had seen Wen Tian reading it several times. So when he opened this piece of rice paper at this moment, he immediately recognized that this was the letter that appeared in the lobby of Wenfu out of thin air.

What is written on this letter that can make Wen Tian, who ranks first on the list of celebrities in the rivers and lakes, the leader of the Wulin Alliance of the Thirteen Envoys of the Two Beijings, and the "swallowing stars and spitting clouds, the sun and the moon shine together"?

Wen Liang knew the answer to all this, and it was in the letter in his hand, and the content of this letter was in front of his eyes at this moment. He hurriedly read the letter as quickly as he could, and although most of the content was incomprehensible, it was enough to make him drench in a cold sweat and stand on the spot.
