Chapter 34: The Soul of the Sword

Chapter 034: Sword Revenant

The style of Dianzhou is very different from the style of the southwest of Huaizhou, Su Yu has not seen any mountains since he entered the territory of Dianzhou, all of them are fertile fields, rivers are vertical and horizontal, and there is another flavor.

Inn restaurants, you can see everywhere, even in the remote fields, there are dotted people, Su Yu has five thousand taels of silver in his baggage, so he doesn't dare to slack off, and he wants to rush to Xishan as soon as possible.

Su Yu didn't remember the road to Xishan clearly, only that he was probably going south, and when he passed through Yuxi on the way, Su Yu stayed for a few days to inquire about the whereabouts of Yu Qing, but he found nothing, so Su Yu had to rush to Xishan first.

Su Yu asked passers-by about the location of Xishan while heading south.

About twenty days later, Su Yu had already come to the territory of Xishan, and suddenly there was a cry in his ears, Su Yu looked around, the cry came from a thatched house, Su Yu wanted to find out, so he walked straight to the thatched house.

The door of the thatched house was open, Su Yu walked in, and there were two people in the room: a man and a woman, both about fifty years old, with dark skin, gray hair, weather-beaten faces carved with vicissitudes, and thick calluses on their hands, at this moment the two were snuggling together and crying.

Although Su Yu was standing in front of the door, the two old men were already old, they didn't find Su Yu, Su Yu wanted to know why they were crying, but it was not good to ask directly, so he said: "Old man, I am in a hurry, and now I am thirsty, can I make it convenient and ask for a bowl of water to drink?"

The old man wiped his tears and said, "I'll go and fill the water, you wait first." ”

The old man quickly brought water to Su Yu, Su Yu drank a few sips, the old man and the old grandmother cried again, Su Yu couldn't help but ask: "The two old people have been crying, can you tell me what's wrong?"

The old grandmother cried, "Woo, my poor daughter, woo......"

The old man said: "Our daughter is missing, today is the eighth day, we have searched for many places but have not found it, could it be that she has ...... Already...... Woo woo", the old man didn't dare to continue anymore.

Su Yu comforted: "Don't be sad, old man, will your daughter go to play elsewhere?"

The old grandmother shook her head and cried again: "No, Qiuxia has always stayed at home in a proper manner, she never goes far away, she must have been kidnapped by thieves, woo." ”

The old grandmother said Qiuxia, Su Yu knew that this was their daughter's name, Su Yu continued: "Since Miss Qiuxia has been missing for eight days, have you reported to the official?"

The old man said: "We have already reported to the official, the yamen said that there are many girls who have disappeared recently, and they have sent someone to investigate, but there is no news at all so far!"

Su Yu muttered in his heart, "Could it be that Miss Qiuxia was really taken captive by thieves?" It's really hateful, if this person falls into my hands, I will never let him go' Su Yu's hand was clenched tightly, and there was an urge to find out about this matter to the end.

Su Yu thought about it, the world is not fair, and the world is not complete, so why should you be confined to one family!

What's more, his skills still need to be improved, he is soft-spoken, and he can't protect himself, so why meddle, besides, he has a task in his body, so don't make extraneous branches, thinking of this, Su Yu planned to leave.

At this moment, the two old men suddenly knelt in front of Su Yu and cried: "Childe, please find a way to save my daughter, please, please", the two old men kowtowed as they spoke.

The two old men were both about fifty years old, how could Su Yu stand this, he immediately reached over and wanted to help them up, and said, "It's really tormenting me, you guys get up quickly!"

The two old men did not get up, they cried louder, and said, "If you don't promise, we won't get up, we won't find our daughter, and we won't live, it's good if we die together, but I don't know where my miserable daughter is now!", the two old men's heads hit the ground and made a clanging sound, and a trace of blood faintly appeared on their foreheads.

The two old men were both old, and seeing them begging like this, Su Yu had no idea for a while, so he had to agree first, and said, "You guys get up quickly, I just promise you." ”

Hearing Su Yu say this, the two old men stood up while thanking them.

Su Yu really had no choice, and it was also an expedient measure to promise them to find Qiu Xia, but they didn't expect the two old men to take it seriously, and they told Su Yu about Qiu Xia's appearance, dress, and age.

Su Yu finally said that he would try his best to help them find Miss Qiuxia.

After saying goodbye to the two old men, Su Yu walked towards Xishan City, which was very close to Xishan City, and Su Yu walked for less than half an hour before arriving at Xishan City.

The population in the city is endless, the trade and trade transactions are frequent, the noise is endless, the prosperity is very, the fragrance of wine and meat is suddenly heard, Su Yu looks at a restaurant, the door is written "drunk full of buildings" three big characters, this is the largest restaurant in Xishan City, Su Yu can't help but be greedy.

Su Yu still vaguely remembered his home, it seemed to be on the south side of Xishan City, less than two miles from Xishan City to there, Su Yu decided to go to the "Drunk Manlou" to have a full meal, and then go to worship Zhao Xingyun and his wife, to see if they could find the clues of the year, by the way, but also to help the two old people find Qiuxia's whereabouts, thinking of this, Su Yu walked towards the "Drunken Manlou".

"Drunk Building" is divided into two floors, just look at the first floor is magnificent, and then look at the guests inside are brightly dressed and full of energy, at a glance you know that these people are either rich or expensive, Su Yu looked at himself dressed plainly, it seemed to be out of place with them, so he had to choose a chair in the corner to sit down, casually ordered a few side dishes, scalded a pot of wine and tasted it.

Su Yu had only eaten a few bites before he heard the people on the table next to him discuss: "I think that when the 'ghost thief' Ma Yuan and the 'swordsman' Zhao Xingyun were alive, how could there be such a ridiculous thing, alas!

Hearing someone mention Zhao Xingyun's name, Su Yu looked at the wine table next to him, there were six of them in total, all dressed as scholars, just now this sentence was said by the man in blue clothes sitting in the middle, he drank a glass of wine as soon as he finished saying this, and the other five people didn't say anything, they all sighed.

Ma Yuan and Zhao Xingyun were once the heroes of Xishan, they are both strong in martial arts, Ma Yuan is good at hidden weapons, Zhao Xingyun is good at swordsmanship, the two often act together to do chivalrous battles, but also left the reputation of "sword soul, no trick to take life", later Zhao Xingyun was killed, Ma Yuan's whereabouts are unknown, and the deeds of the two have also become legends.

Hearing the words of the scholar just now, something seemed to have happened in Xishan, Su Yuyun wanted to ask the truth, and when he was about to get up, a scholar dressed in white and holding a feather fan said: "In just over a month, five girls have been killed, and more than 30 girls are missing, but the angry thing is that they don't even know who the murderer is, how can it be good in the long run!"

As soon as the scholar's words came out, Su Yu's heart was shocked, there were actually five girls who were killed, and more than 30 girls were missing, so was Qiu Xia already killed? Su Yu promised the two old men to help them find Qiu Xia's whereabouts, and when he heard such words at this moment, he was worried that something had happened to Qiu Xia, and he felt very bad in his heart.

Su Yu looked at the table next to him, hoping to hear some useful news.

Directly north of the scholar's table there was a boxy table, on the edge of the table sat four big men, they sat in the order of east, west, south, and north, all four of them with thick eyebrows and big ears, tall and large, they were all dressed in light gray clothes, and four large knives were placed horizontally on the table, well-trained, like a faction.

These four are the four major dart masters of the Huwei Dart Bureau, which is the largest dart board within a radius of 100 miles, and is quite famous in the Xishan area.

When a girl disappeared in Xishan City, the Huwei Dart Bureau sent someone to secretly investigate, but the murderer was too cunning, and until now they have not found any clues about the murderer.

Just after the scholar finished speaking, the dart master sitting on the north side said: "What are you worried about, don't you know that Marven has now begun to investigate this matter? I believe that this matter will be over soon." ”

There was a small table at the door, and a scholar in white clothes was sitting alone at the table, and just as the dart master's words fell, the scholar said: "Even your Huwei Dart Bureau has not found any clues about the murderer, what ability does Marven have to solve this case?"

As soon as the scholar's voice fell, the four dart masters of the Huwei Dart Bureau all looked at him fiercely, and the scholar was originally straightforward and fast-talking, and he said something when he thought of something, but he had the intention of belittling the Huwei Dart Bureau between his words, and the four dart masters of the Huwei Dart Bureau were of course not happy, and they did not give him a good face.

The scholar was originally timid, and when he saw that the four dart masters were all looking at him fiercely, he was already trembling with fright, and the chopsticks in his hand also fell on the table, and the scholar had an idea, and then said: "It has been more than a month since the girl's disappearance occurred, but the government has no clues. ”

When the four dart masters heard the scholar say this, they were naturally embarrassed to embarrass him, so they had to say: "When such a thing happens, our Huwei Dart Bureau should not stand by and watch, but we have recently taken a dart and are about to go out to find the murderer, and it is better for Marven to deal with it." ”

Although the martial arts of the four dart masters are all good, they know that the murderer's martial arts must be far above them, of course, they dare not take risks easily, and they can only say such high-sounding words at this moment, which is to throw this hot potato to Marven.

Although everyone here knew that the Huwei Dart Bureau was afraid of the murderer and did not dare to make a move, and even the clues they had sent to find the murderer in the past were carried out in secret, but due to the power of the Huwei Dart Bureau, no one dared to say a word about them, and the surroundings immediately became quiet.

The dart master sitting on the north side continued: "Don't worry! I have met Marven before, his martial arts have been passed on to Ma Yuan, and besides, Marven is thoughtful and intelligent, he will definitely catch the murderer and rescue the missing girl." ”

Hearing the dart master say this, everyone was relieved, and the room boiled, and you and I kept talking:

"Marven, is it the descendant of the 'ghost thief' Ma Yuan, known as the 'grand thief' Marven?"

"I heard that this Ma Wen is very strong in martial arts, if he is really willing to help investigate this matter, I believe that this matter will be solved as soon as possible."

"Even the government can't find the slightest trace of the murderer, does that Marven really have such a great ability?"

"It is said that Marven is deeply rooted in Ma Yuan's true biography, and his strength should not be underestimated."

"If Marven can really find the murderer and rescue those missing girls, it will be a great merit!

......

After a commotion, Su Yu also probably knew the situation, they just mentioned that five girls had been killed, a chill rose from the bottom of Su Yu's heart, Su Yu couldn't help but think of Su Xiaoman, she was so beautiful, so tender, so kind, those girls who were killed should be as old as her.

Su Yu clenched his fists, and there was an urge to chase the murderer with a sword, but thinking that he had just arrived in this place, everything was not familiar with everything, and he couldn't act rashly, but fortunately, Marven was willing to investigate this matter, and Su Yu was relieved in his heart.

Su Yu originally promised the two old men to find Qiu Xia's whereabouts, but now he heard that Marven is already dealing with this matter, and this Marven is strong in martial arts, I believe he will handle this matter well.

Su Yu looked at the people next to him, they were talking about Zhao Xingyun and Ma Yuan, maybe they knew the mystery of Zhao Xingyun and his wife being killed, and for a while it aroused Su Yu's grief and indignation, Su Yu was a little puzzled: Zhao Xingyun and Ma Yuan are excellent friends, where was Ma Yuan when Zhao Xingyun and his wife were killed eleven years ago, why didn't he save Zhao Xingyun and his wife at that time, these people sitting in front of me may know some clues, I might as well inquire with them.
