There has been nothing to do for a few days, He Xiong is busy practicing, and even his usual noise is less. It's just because he discovered the exercises taught by Yin Liting, and his internal strength is mainly strong, which is very suitable for practice, so he has improved a lot in the past few days.
Xi Zhen and Guan Qing are the two of them, indulging in mountains and rivers all day long, chanting poems and tasting the wind and moon, so they are not at ease.
Suddenly, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Zhu Yunwen came to visit. Guan Qing was inconvenient, so she went back to the room. Everyone gathered together, Huang Zicheng made fun of Xi Zhen again, and when the tea was finished, Huang Zicheng looked at Zhu Yunwen, and then said: "Xi Shaoxia has traveled through the rivers and lakes, have you ever known the rumors of Cixi Yunshan map?"
Xi Zhen thought for a moment and replied: "Cixi Yunshan Tu, the younger generation has heard such rumors in the rivers and lakes, but I don't know if it's true or not, but I don't know why Lord Huang asked about it today?"
Zhu Yunwen coughed lightly, and said: "The reason for this matter, I only know probly, according to legend, before Emperor Yuan Shun was defeated and fled to the capital, he expected that the situation was irreparable, so he hid the treasures he had looted for decades in one place as the capital for the future restoration of the country, and painted this hidden treasure place in two sheepskins, which is the rumor of the Cixi Yunshan map." ”
Xi Zhen asked again: "Then what is the truth of this matter?"
Qi Tai was an impatient person, so he preemptively said: "Some people say that this thing is true, and some people say that it is false. ”
Xi Zhen said again: "Then if this matter is true, then the legend of Emperor Yuan Shun's restoration is also true, if it is false, then why is there such a legend?"
Huang Zicheng nodded approvingly, and said worriedly: "Shaoxia's analysis is right, but what is more serious is that many people in the rivers and lakes, and even in the imperial court, have recently had a map of Cixi Yunshan. So he took out a cloth bag from his arms, opened it cautiously, and saw that it was the picture of Cixi clouds and mountains.
Xi Zhen looked at this picture, although he was a little surprised by the picture in his hand, the overall shape was not much different. But he didn't know how powerful it was at this time, and there were many things he hadn't figured out yet, so he didn't tell him that he also had a map of Cixi Yunshan.
Xi Zhen asked, "Dare to ask how did you get this picture?"
Zhu Yunwen replied: "The Holy One also learned about this, he was very surprised, and in his anger, he secretly ordered me and Teacher Huang to investigate this matter, and this picture was handed over to me by the Holy Lord." Zhu Yunwen trusted Xi Zhen and He Xiong very much, so he didn't hide it and told him bluntly. Moreover, they came this time, perhaps because they asked Xi Zhen, so there was no need to hide it.
Xi Zhen asked again: "What eyebrows has His Highness found?" Although the two had formed a relationship, they knew that now that outsiders were present, Xi Zhen was also indispensable for courtesy. Zhu Yunwen also looked at Xi Zhen and nodded with satisfaction to express his gratitude.
Zhu Yunwen said: "I received the secret order today, and I discussed it with you, and I didn't have any eyebrows. ”
"Oh," everyone was shocked, but it was He Xiong who suddenly said: "What is the use of our deliberations? Why don't we go and find the place drawn on this map and find out, wouldn't it be all clear?"
"It's good, it's just that the world is big, where is the scenery in this picture of Cixi Yunshan, where do we start?" Qi Tai's question is also a question that everyone is puzzled about.
"Oh, I see that you are just studying and entering a dead end" He Xiong opened his eyes and said: "Since this is called Cixi Yunshan Map, it must be in a place like Cixi, if you find this place, won't it narrow the scope?"
As the so-called word woke up the person in the dream, everyone was entangled in the truth of this picture, but they never thought of checking it. In fact, Xi Zhen has long had this intention, but it is inconvenient to say it clearly. When everyone heard He Xiong say this, they were also relieved, after all, this was the only way to find out the truth and falsehood.
Everyone felt that this method was feasible, so they agreed on the starting date, and then Zhu, Huang, and Qi returned to the court to report.
That night, Xi Zhen was alone in the room, thinking hard about why there was another map of Cixi clouds and mountains? And according to Huang Zicheng, there was more than one picture of Cixi clouds and mountains, who still had this picture? Who passed it on? What was the purpose of the person who passed on this picture? After thinking hard, he could not get an answer, so he felt that it was the best choice to find out.
When he was thinking hard, there was a sound of breaking the sky, and Xi Zhen flashed it, but he saw that the sound of breaking the sky came from a flying knife: the tail of the flying knife was hollowed out, so the sound was easy to hear. Seeing this flying knife, wrapped in a strong wind, blowing out the candle, it can be seen that the person who sent the flying knife has strong internal force and wrist strength.
The flying knife blew out the candles, and when the room suddenly went dark, Xi Zhen saw a black shadow flash in front of the window. immediately lifted his body and chased after him through the window.
The person who came was very good, and after a little slackness, he pulled Xi Zhen a few feet away. Xi Zhen chased after him, and the more he chased, the more frightened he became: the people who came used the light skills of the Wudang faction. After chasing for about half an hour, the two had already left the city and ran to the mountains and forests. Xi Zhen took a strong breath, struggled for a few feet, blocked the eyes of the comers, pointed at the iron fan, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who led me here, what do you have to say." Xi Zhen knew that this person hit him with a hollow flying knife, not to hurt him, but to get his attention. And then he ran all the way, thinking that someone had a purpose to bring him here.
The person who came didn't speak, pulled out the short sword from his waist and stabbed it, Xi Zhen dodged sideways, and then the iron fan slammed into the short sword, using a sticky word. I saw that the short sword seemed to be glued to the iron fan. The person who came was not panicked, his voice was slightly hoarse, and he snorted lightly: "Carving insect skills." Immediately, the internal force poured into the sword body, and the sword qi suddenly soared. Xi Zhen was shocked, he didn't dare to take it hard, and hurriedly took a few steps back, the iron fan opened, and the peacock opened the screen with a move. The person who came seemed to know Xi Zhen's moves very well, and before he could stand firmly, he rushed to attack again, and the short sword pulled up the sword flower, covering the upper three roads, and at the same time, the right leg swept through the thousand troops with one move, kicking the lower three ways. In this way, the two walked more than a dozen moves in the woods.
Suddenly, Xi Zhen avoided the sword blade, and the iron fan swept away, forcing the people back. After that, he sat on the ground. The people who came were surprised, and they were about to attack with a sword, Xi Zhen opened his mouth, and said with a wry smile on his face: "Stop, are you all senior brothers like this, they all lead people to the woods at night, and they all start fighting without saying a word?"
The person who came listened to him with great interest, but he didn't attack, put away his short sword, and said in a hoarse voice: "Stinky boy, martial arts have improved." ”
Xi Zhen didn't give a good face, and choked: "What do you think, I'm not lazy, I practice every day, I really want to fight, you really think I can't beat you." ”
While taking off his mask, the person who came walked to Xi Zhen and sat down next to him and said, "Why can't this character be changed?
Xi Zhen watched the visitor take off his mask, revealing a familiar and unfamiliar face with a goat's beard, but his face was haggard, which made Xi Zhen sigh. "Senior brother, why are you emaciated like this?"
The person who came was Xi Zhen's second senior brother, Mei Yin, the second disciple of Yin Liting.
"Senior brother, the old man is very concerned about you, you have time to go back and see his old man. Xi Zhen saw Mei Yin so haggard, and said distressedly.
"Master...... Master, is he okay? I miss him too, but I'm afraid I won't be able to go back. As soon as Xi Zhen mentioned the master, Mei Yin's heart was full of mixed feelings, and the master took him to practice literature and martial arts since he was a child, and regarded it as his own. And he, since he left the school, has never returned. He always felt indebted to his master and wanted to go back, but the arrogance in his heart and the ruthlessness of reality made him unable to go back. Thinking of this, a dignified man actually shed tears.
"Everything is as good as usual, but every time you are mentioned, you are silent, although the master does not say, but I know that his old man misses you very much, this time when I parted with my senior brother, the master repeatedly warned us to understand you. Although Xi Zhen didn't know very well why Mei Yin left the division to go alone, and he didn't want to dig deeper, he just felt that Mei Yin would always be his second senior brother, and that's it. So, thinking of this, I can't help but feel sad together.
"Is that really what the master said?" Mei Yin's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard this: "Is this really what the master told you and the senior brother?" Mei Yin asked again. Then he muttered to himself: "Master, you know apprentices, you know apprentices best, thank you, master." ”
Xi Zhen sighed lightly, and he didn't know what to say at this time.
"Is Senior Brother okay?" Mei Yin asked again. The three senior brothers, the eldest brother Han Santong is the oldest and the most calm, and the second senior brother Mei Yin is a few years older than Han Santong, but he is five years older than Xi Zhen. Xi Zhen and Mei Yin have been studying art together for a long time, but they have been away for nearly ten years.
"Big brother is fine, you know, big brother doesn't like to talk much, but I can tell that he cares about you a lot. Xi Zhen replied.
