"Don't worry about Lao Dao, this kind of woman is not worthy of you, you must wish a beauty like my sister to be worthy of a hero like Lao Dao. Luo Baiyi laughed, and after that, he patted Dao Xueke's shoulder again.

When Dao Xueke heard this, he blushed, lowered his head, and remained silent. Ren Shanhuai beside him also changed his face.

When Zhu Qingqiu heard this, he glanced at the pair of apricot eyes at Dao Xueke, and when he saw Dao Xueke's face flushing, he smiled softly and covered his mouth with his sleeves. That smile, if the peach blossoms are in full bloom, although the green silk is unkempt and a little haggard, but the face of the city and the country is not reduced in the slightest. Zhu Qingqiu said softly: "The concubine has no talent and no virtue, where is that blessing, even if she has a heart, she has no luck, and she can make a hero like Brother Xue fall in love." ”

"I wish the girl didn't make fun of me anymore. Dao Xueke said.

Ren Shanhuai also smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't joke anymore." At this point, it is better to discuss and discuss the way out. I don't know why Miss Zhu is in prison?"

Zhu Qingqiu found out the whereabouts of the Jade Buddha in the Tanglin Mansion, and then infiltrated the palace, and found the Jade Buddha in case of abduction.

And Rao Mengli didn't talk about it, but just told her about escaping from Qing Xuanyi, and robbing the law field with Luo Baiyi to rescue Zhu Qingqiu, but she was ambushed and caught by Qing Xuanqi together. And Dao Xueke also said that he learned about this and visited the mansion with Chu Qing'an and Liu Yuanjun at night, wanting to rescue the three people, but he didn't expect to fall into the trick of Qing Xianyi and be imprisoned. Fortunately, Ren Shanhuai rescued him.

When everyone was happy, Zhu Qingqiu said: "Thousands of things are said to be because of the Jade Buddha, and now it is basically certain that it was indeed the Qing Liqi who snatched the Jade Buddha, but this matter does not seem to have anything to do with the Dongling King, and he doesn't seem to know about it." Over the years, the people have also loved and respected this prince. That prince doesn't look like a person who oppresses the people, could it be that the concubine blames him?"

Ren Shanhuai also echoed: "It must be that Qing Xianqi colluded with Yin Zhuangqiu, the mansion of Tanglin Mansion, to try to snatch the Jade Buddha." It's just that although he prides himself on being half of the people in the rivers and lakes, he knows very little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. I don't know what this Jade Buddha is?"

Ren Gongzi didn't know that this jade Buddha was just a precious jade Buddha statue in the eyes of outsiders, but he didn't know that it was extraordinary to the people of the rivers and lakes. Rao Mengli said.

Luo Baiyi continued: "Yes, the Jade Buddha is said to be carved from the top of the Snow Mountain, the day of the carving, the Jade Buddha is bright, dazzling, not sinking into the water, not turning into the fire, the sword is difficult to damage, and it is difficult to lack proportion on the ground." Legend has it that the Jade Buddha was obtained by an old man by chance, and the old man obtained the martial arts from the Jade Buddha, and since then he has created a sect that has stood for a hundred years, Kexue Mountain Villa. Legend has it that the Jade Buddha has been hidden in the mountain villa since then, and no one has ever seen it again, and no one knows what the secret is. Now the Jade Buddha has reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and the people in the rivers and lakes think that with the Jade Buddha, they can obtain the power in it, and at that time, they can dominate the rivers and lakes and be the master of the rivers and lakes. ”

Dao Xueke and Liu Yuanjun glanced at each other when they heard this, sighed, and did not speak. This detail was seen by Ren Shanhuai, and Ren Shanhuai asked thoughtfully: "Kexue Villa...... Why have I never heard of this sect?"

Dao Xueke said: "Because Kexue Mountain Villa has always had door rules, disciples are not allowed to go down the mountain without permission, do not contact the outside world, and do not involve grievances and hatreds on the rivers and lakes. Every few years, a person will go down the mountain to find some destined teenagers and girls, take them to the villa, teach martial arts, and pass on the ancestry. ”

"This also makes sense, since the Jade Buddha is hidden in the Kexue Mountain Villa, this door rule not only protects the Jade Buddha, but also protects the disciples in the door. Ren Shanhuai said.

"However, people's hearts are unpredictable, and their desires are difficult to fill. Kexue Villa, as early as ten years ago, was tragically destroyed. Zhu Qingqiu said.

Ren Shanhuai exclaimed: "There is such a thing!"

Dao Xueke sighed again, looked at Liu Yuanjun, and when he saw her nodding, he said, "Miss Zhu is right, Kexue Villa has indeed been destroyed." It's just that there are still two people who escaped from that catastrophe and survived to this day, relying on each other for their lives. Dao Xueke had never said these words to Luo Baiyi and the others, and Rao Mengli had guessed a few points when he heard this, so everyone looked at Dao Xueke.

Ren Shanhuai asked again: "Then where are those two now?"

Dao Xueke got up and said: "I am the young master of Nake Snow Mountain Villa, and that day it was my senior sister who desperately escorted me down the mountain and entrusted me to Hall Master Xiao. I can live to this day. ”

"So Senior Sister Liu is ......," Rao Mengli asked.

Liu Yuanjun also got up and nodded and said, "Yes, I am Ah Xue's senior sister, Liu Yuanjun, the second disciple of Kexue Villa." ”

"Flying Snow Silver Spear Liu Yuanjun, no wonder Miss Liu is so skilled. Zhu Qingqiu said with a smile.

When everyone heard Dao Xueke talk about his background, although they had been mentally prepared, they were more or less surprised. Luo Baiyi said: "No wonder you have been refusing to tell us your background before, I didn't expect such a big thing to be hidden behind you, now it seems that I am waiting to blame you, brother." With that, he patted the knife snowman on the shoulder again.

Rao Mengli also said: "Brother Xue's life experience is so bumpy, it must be uncomfortable all these years." ”

"Over the years, whenever I think of the catastrophe in my childhood, I feel my heart beating, I can't close my eyes and fall asleep every night, every time I close my eyes, I feel that the tragic situation resurfaces in front of me, and when I wake up, I am shocked into a cold sweat. Now that I have finally found the whereabouts of one of the enemies of the year, Qing Xuanyi, and the Jade Buddha, I really can't let go. ”

Liu Yuanjun sat beside him, gently held his hand, and said softly: "It's hard for you, Ah Xue." Dao Xueke said with a smile: "What is the hardship I have endured and what is the benefit of my senior sister? In order to protect me, my senior sister was seriously injured, and in the past ten years, she has been looking for enemies alone, and she does not want me to be involved in hatred. ”

Luo Baiyi also sat down and said, "Old Dao, now that you have explained everything, I will share it with you in the future." ”

"Not bad. Ren Shanhuai also said, "What Xue Gongzi said is really the anger of people and gods. Although I met you in Pingshui, we have similar interests, although we are not brothers, but we are also friends. Now that my friend is in trouble, how can I not help? Now that we know that the Jade Buddha is in the hands of Qing Xuanyi, we have to design to catch him and force him to hand over the Jade Buddha. ”

Zhu Qingqiu said: "Since Brother Xue is the young master of Kexue Villa, the Jade Buddha is also the thing of Kexue Villa, and the Jade Buddha should also be returned to the original owner." It's just that it's hard to catch that green fox...... Unless ......"

They asked, "Unless what?"

Zhu Qingqiu replied: "Qing Xuanqi has already obtained the Jade Buddha, but he has never made it public to the rivers and lakes, so it must be that he has not yet understood the mystery. Unless we know what the secret of the Jade Buddha is, if we know it before him, we will have the bargaining chips to force him. ”

Ren Shanhuai turned to Dao Xueke and said: "This is not simple, Xue Gongzi is the young master of Kexue Villa, how can he not know the secret of the Jade Buddha?"

Everyone then threw their eyes back on the Knife Snowman, but the Knife Snowman lowered his eyebrows, wanted to speak, and finally just sighed.

Rao Mengli said empathetically: "If Brother Xue finds it difficult, don't say it, there must be other ways." Everyone also felt reasonable, so they no longer forced the sword snowman.

Seeing that everyone understood him so well, Dao Xueke let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I don't want to tell you the secret of the Jade Buddha. In fact, my guest Snow Mountain Villa doesn't know the mystery at all. ”

Ren Shanhuai frowned when he heard this, then sat next to Dao Xueke and asked: "The words of Miss Rao and Luo Shaoxia all say that the Jade Buddha has been inherited in Kexue Mountain Villa for a hundred years, and now how can Xue Gongzi say that he doesn't know the mystery, don't you believe me?"

"Alas. Dao Xueke shook his head, "How can I not believe you, it's just that although the Jade Buddha was obtained by my ancestor Su Gong by chance, it has been hidden in my villa for a hundred years. Therefore, the Jade Buddha has been hidden in Kexue Mountain Villa for a hundred years, but no one has been able to solve the mystery. Of course, I wouldn't know. ”

Then they sighed, "What is this to ......?"

"So far, I can only start from the green man. Liu Yuanjun said.

Ren Shanhuai said: "That's it." Then I wish the girl to take care of her body, and then we will discuss. I went out to see how they were doing. With that, he got up and went out the door. Fang walked into the courtyard, saw a person walking over, bowed down and said, "The old slave greets the son." ”

"Fubo, what are you doing here?" asked Ren Shanhuai.

Ren Fu replied: "The old slave was ordered by the prince to come to monitor Dao Xueke and others. Ren Shanhuai snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "I'm afraid you're also here to spy on me." ”

Although Ren Fu lowered his head, his eyes glanced up, glanced at Ren Shanhuai, and said humbly: "The old slave doesn't dare." ”

"You are really competent as a minion!" After saying that, Ren Shanhuai brushed his sleeves away, and said with his back to Ren Fu who bowed before leaving, "You go back to repay without illness, just say that the sword snowman doesn't know the secret of the Jade Buddha at all, and they have already set their eyes on Qing Xuanyi, and are ready to use this as an opening to investigate." With that, he walked to the pharmacy.

That Ren Fu straightened up, looked at Ren Shanhuai's back and sneered, turned around and walked out of the door, walking in the direction of the palace.

It happened that Liu Yuanjun went out to decoct the knife Xueke, but found that a person was unfamiliar, he had never seen it, and he was definitely not a person in the house, so he quietly followed, Sisi observed, and saw that the person's hands were strong, and he was clearly a person who practiced martial arts, why did he come to this Ren Shanhuai's house, so he wanted to follow him to see where he went. Who knew that the man seemed to be alert, and only walked to many places, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Liu Yuanjun had to return.

When he returned to the room, he saw that Ren Shanhuai had already returned, and sat at the same table with Luo Baiyi and Dao Xueke, while Rao Mengli was feeding Zhu Qingqiu medicine by the bedside. "Senior sister, why did you come back after a long time?" asked Dao Xueke. Liu Yuanjun smiled and replied, "Nothing." It's just that I just saw a person at the door, so strange, it seems that he is not Ren Gongzi's subordinate, and he has never seen it. I don't know who it is?"

Ren Shanhuai replied frankly: "Oh, at that time, the housekeeper in the house was named Ren Fu, and everyone called him Fu Bo on weekdays, and he came here today to send some medicinal materials." And Snow Boy has also seen Fubo. He is the steward of this house, of course, he comes and goes without hindrance. ”

"Yes, I did meet Fauber. Dao Xueke said.

Liu Yuanjun nodded when he heard this, but he was still a little puzzled: "I don't know how old the housekeeper is Ren Gongzi, but he is a martial artist?"

Ren Shanhuai thought for a while and said: "Fu Bo is nearly sixty years old this year, but his body is still quite tough, and he has never practiced martial arts. Why did Senior Sister Liu ask this?"

Liu Yuanjun said with a smile: "It's nothing, just ask." Liu Yuanjun still has doubts about the origin of this Ren Shanhuai, and has never dared to take off his guard, but the demeanor and tone when he speaks are not like lying, but that Ren Fu has strong arms and is extremely vigilant, and he is clearly a person who practices martial arts, although he is nearly sixty years old, he is leaning around, but there are few wrinkles on his hands, and his gait is slightly vicissitudes but not old, he really doesn't look like an old man. Hence this suspicion.

After drinking the decoction, Zhu Qingqiu is about to go to the ground. Rao Mengli stopped: "I wish my sister's injury has not healed, it is better not to move lightly." Later, I applied trauma medicine to my sister, and she was better in a few days. Zhu Qingqiu smiled and waved her hand, forcing her to sit up, and Rao Mengli helped her sit on the edge of the bed. Zhu Qingqiu said: "You should still make a decision early, how can you catch that green man." ”

Liu Yuanjun said: "I have been chasing him for ten years, and I have fought with him a few times. It's just that now he has increased his skills for some reason, and his moves are extremely strange, not like all in the Central Plains, and I have no choice but to join forces with Ah Xue, if I want to hold him now, I'm afraid it will not be easy. ”

"What's so difficult about this?" Luo Baiyi patted his chest and said, "Senior Sister Liu and Lao Dao can fight him if they join forces, then plus me and Xiaoli, Ren Gongzi and Sister Zhu, the six of us will join forces, and we will definitely be able to catch that green fox!"

"This matter can only be outwitted, not reckless. Zhu Qingqiu shook his head.

"I wish the girl is right. Perhaps, there is another way. Dao Xueke said.

They asked, "What way?"

Dao Xueke said: "I once heard my father say that although the Jade Buddha hides a great mystery, no one knows how to obtain this secret, and even if he has the Jade Buddha, he will never know. To access the secret room where the Jade Buddha is hidden, you must take a secret passage, and to open the secret passage, you need to rely on a jade bottle to activate the mechanism. ”

"Jade bottle?" everyone was puzzled.

"Yes, the jade Buddha was originally called the silver snow green white jade Bodhisattva statue, and the jade bottle was called the white net bottle with snow silver glaze. Although I don't know how Su Gong obtained the power of the Jade Buddha a hundred years ago, I have passed these two treasures from generation to generation and hid them in the villa. And Su Gong left a sentence to pass on to the next generation of door masters. Although I did not succeed him, my father talked to me about it, and he said that the jade Buddha and jade vase are of the same root and origin, and all of them are indispensable. Legend has it that the spirit jade descended from the sky, and it was not only the Buddha statue that was created, but the world only knew one of them but did not know the other......"

Seeing that he said so much, Liu Yuanjun hurriedly interrupted: "I also know a little bit about these things. ”

"I don't want that legend to be false, it turns out that the heavenly spirit jade not only created a jade Buddha, but also created a bottle. Zhu Qingqiu said thoughtfully, "The people of the rivers and lakes could never have imagined that the Jade Buddha they wanted to fight for all their lives was useless, and they would never know that there was a jade bottle in this world." ”

Ren Shanhuai also asked: "According to this, only when you get that jade bottle will you know the secret of the Jade Buddha......?"

"Yes, there's only one trick now. Dao Xueke said.

Luo Baiyi asked, "Then where is the jade bottle now?"

Dao Xueke stood up, sighed and said, "I don't know either. Back then, eight black-clothed men with strong martial arts broke into the villa and slaughtered all the people in my Kexue Villa, and my senior sister was also seriously injured. And I hid in the secret room of the Jade Buddha, not wanting to be found by the young man. However, he clashed with another man in black, and failed to kill me, but he took the jade Buddha and the jade bottle together. ”

It's just that for some reason, the Jade Buddha has fallen into the rivers and lakes again, and it has caused this bloody storm now, and many people have died for it. Liu Yuanjun said.

Ren Shanhuai's face was overjoyed when he heard this: "In this way, although the green fox got the jade Buddha jade bottle back then, it was lost. Now that the Jade Buddha has reappeared in the rivers and lakes, the jade bottle will definitely fall in the rivers and lakes, not in the hands of the Qingyi. Otherwise, they would have figured out the mystery long ago, and they would not have waited until now. ”

"But in the huge rivers and lakes, how can you find a lifeless thing?" Rao Mengli asked, tilting her head.

Dao Xueke turned around, walked out of the door, bathed in the sun, his eyes couldn't help but drift to the west with the breeze, stood for a long time, and then turned his head to the people in the house and said, "Maybe there will be an answer in Kexue Mountain Villa." ”

Liu Yuanjun was a little surprised, and asked softly: "Do you want to go back to Kexue Mountain Villa, re-walk the road where the young man left, and maybe find the jade bottle?"

Dao Xueke smiled and said, "Those who know me, senior sister too." Although he said it lightly, everyone could clearly read a little bitterness in the reluctant smile on his face. It is no wonder that in other places there are still sleepless days and nights, if you return to the sad place, will not it only increase the sorrow?

Rao Mengli folded her worried hands on her chest and shouted softly, "Brother Xue......"

"Okay, old knife, if you want to go, we will go with you!" Luo Baiyi shouted loudly.

Liu Yuanjun also nodded, and then turned back to look at Rao Mengli and Zhu Qingqiu, and the two also nodded in agreement. Ren Shanhuai got up and hugged his fists and said: "There are still some things in Xiaosheng's family, after they are dealt with, they must return to the Snow Mountain Villa with the Snow Boy to help you!"

Dao Xueke was quite moved, so he arched his hand and said, "Then I thank you in advance." It's just that before I go back to Yaoye Mansion, I still want to go back to Lu'an Mansion. ”

Hearing this, Rao Mengli hurriedly got up and asked, "Brother Xue, isn't he going to find his father and ask about the killing of Chu Yunshan?"

Dao Xueke nodded, but Luo Baiyi said disappreciatively: "What else is there to ask, my father would never do such a thing!"

Dao Xueke explained: "I don't believe it either, I just want to know the truth." ”
