Volume 1 The Tiger Enters the Mountains and Forests Chapter 8 'Heavenly Machine Order' Reveals True Temperament The Liu family's old mansion hides trouble

Han Tao shook his head and said, "Don't hide it, I came here this time to ask the Liu family, so Brother Liu can rest assured, I will never hurt the Liu family." ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Wentian frowned, and it was only at this moment that he somewhat believed Han Tao in front of him.

"Brother Liu, can you tell me if the pseudo-artifact is real?" Han Tao asked with some uncertainty.

Liu Wentian teased in response: "You can try." ”

"Then I understand!" Han Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, he said: "Since the Liu family has the ability to refine the pseudo-artifact 'Taiyi Divine Needle', then our Tianji Valley can form an alliance with the Liu family. ”

Liu Wentian frowned, not understanding the meaning of Han Tao's words, so he said, "Are you sure you can represent the Han family?"

Han Tao smiled confidently, took out a strange token from his bosom that seemed to be iron but not iron, jade and not jade, and threw it to Liu Wentian: "No, Tianji Order, there are only three in the world, one is in the hands of the contemporary valley master Han Tianji, one is in the hands of the valley master's most proud disciple Shui Mengchan, and the other is the one in front of you." ”

Liu Wentian stretched out his hand to catch the token, and took a look, only to see that the token was an irregular heptagon, pointed below, long and equal in the middle, the top was a trapezoid, the bottom edge and the Tianji Ling overall width were the same, the upper edge was narrower, about two-thirds of the length of the bottom edge, there was a hole in the middle of the trapezoid, the hole was wearing a line, and there was something like a sword spike hanging on the line, the black token tentacles were soft, and the black light flashed in the moonlight, so that he could see the things of the token mountain, and the front side read' The three words of Tianji Ling', the front near the sharp corners of the place is written a 'three', the two sides are carved with strange lines, and the back is a gossip map, which accurately depicts the whole sixty-four small grids, Qiankun Zhenxun has everything from the fire to the gen, it is not bad, even he who does not understand the "Book of Changes" is attracted at a glance.

With his refining level, he naturally knows that it is absolutely impossible to forge it, not to mention the rarity of the refining materials used, that is, the lines engraved on the token are not something that ordinary people can do, and such a token can only be refined by at least a great grandmaster-level person.

Half-ringing, Liu Wentian exhaled lightly, returned the token to Han Tao, and said, "If what I expected is correct, the material for refining this Heavenly Decree should be the legendary 'Ghost Mother Xuanqing Jade', right?"

Han Tao nodded: "The young master of the Liu family is worthy of his name. ”

'Ghost Mother Xuanqing Jade' is iron non-iron, like jade not jade, hidden in the abyss, perennial and miasma decaying animal and plant corpses dealing, do not see the sun and moon, buried deep in the ground, but this thing has its own unique properties, not affected by miasma, etc., can always maintain its characteristics, and can purify the air environment, ordinary people wear to prevent poison and avoid poison, martial artists wear to accelerate the growth of internal force, divination wearing, can calm the mind, increase the hit rate of divination.

This thing is rare in the world, ordinary people and so on have no chance to contact at all, Tianji Valley's 'Ghost Mother Xuanqing Jade' was still obtained by chance thousands of years ago, made into the Heavenly Machine Order, has been passed down to this day, has been this thing as a treasure, which shows the preciousness of this thing.

"Say it, what do you need my Liu family to do?" Liu Wentian said with a soothing expression, after all, Han Tao dared to hand over a supreme treasure to him in a vulnerable situation, which was enough to prove this person's sincerity.

Han Tao smiled and said with relief: "Brother Liu, this is not the place to talk, why don't we wait to find a quiet place?"

Liu Wentian nodded, stomped his left foot, and his figure jumped up slightly, flying towards the depths of the woods in the distance.

The Liu family has been operating in the Chu capital for hundreds of years, and has long been familiar with the terrain here, although Liu Wentian has been away from the Chu capital for several years, it does not prevent him from being familiar with this place.

After about a cup of tea, Liu Wentian took Han Tao to a wooden house, which was deep in the woods and was quite secret, and ordinary people would never have thought that there would be a house here.

"I built it many years ago, and I used to practice martial arts here. Liu Wentian pointed to the cabin in front of him and said with emotion.

By the moonlight, you can see that there are still traces of fists and feet on the trees next to you, but the ground is already covered with dead leaves, covering the traces that should have been.

Han Tao nodded, he knew the hard work behind everyone's scenery, how the Liu family needless to say, this place is at least a hundred miles away from the Liu family, Liu Wentian can give up his extravagant life and practice martial arts here, his strong will is really embarrassing.

Liu Wentian pushed open the wooden door, walked straight into the house, skillfully found the flint, lit the oil lamp on the table, and through the faint light, it could be seen that although the hut was uninhabited, it was obvious that someone cleaned it frequently, and there was no rot in the whole house.

Han Tao frowned, but did not speak.

Liu Wentian said with a smile: "Don't worry, this is the work of a hunter I knew many years ago, he occasionally settles here, this house is usually cleaned by him, because it is very safe here, and the people of the Liu family will not find here." ”

Han Tao smiled awkwardly before sitting down.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?" Liu Wentian said calmly.

Han Tao nodded: "Brother Liu should know that my Han family is famous for divination, and has never been good at martial arts, although it has a slight reputation in the rivers and lakes, there are always some people who disdain us and others, and there are even people who can't get along with our group of people, suppressing and killing the people of my Tianji Valley, it is because the disciples of my Tianji Valley have gradually cultivated martial arts over the years, and they have some self-preservation power." ”

Liu Wentian nodded, he knew some of these things, and Tianji Valley had not been happy these years.

"If you need a self-defense weapon, with your financial resources in Tianji Valley, you can buy it in large quantities or even tailor-made, and I believe that there will be many forces willing to cooperate with you, why did you find me?" asked Liu Wentian puzzled.

"Brother Liu doesn't know, although my Tianji Valley has amazing financial resources, but people are scarce, we don't need ordinary swords and swords, what we need is specially built for a group of people like us, not only divination, but also against the enemy, the most important thing is that this weapon has the same characteristics as the 'Taiyi Divine Needle', which can be warmed with essence and blood, and has the same heart as itself, so as to achieve the effect of improving the power of divination. Han Tao's eyes flashed with a crazy and dazzling light.

Liu Wentian frowned, according to Han Tao, this kind of weapon is no longer an ordinary mortal soldier, it already has spirituality, looking at Han Tao's meaning, Tianji Valley is planning to have one per person, from the beginning of cultivation, I am afraid it is not so simple!

"With all due respect, my Liu family is somewhat capable, but Brother Han's requirements for my Liu family are unable to do it, not to mention the Liu family, no force in the entire rivers and lakes can do it, batch refining, just the materials alone can't be satisfied, not to mention the great idea that fits with the art of divination!" Liu Wentian said bluntly.

Han Tao nodded, agreeing with Liu Wentian's words: "What Brother Liu said is good, if I can solve the problem of weapon materials and ideas in Tianji Valley, is the Liu family sure that the weapons we require will reach the level of pseudo-artifacts?"

Liu Wentian shook his head: "The pseudo-artifact is not as simple as you think, and the current refining level of the rivers and lakes cannot be built at all. ”

Han Tao nodded, and said thoughtfully, "That's why I found the Liu family." ”

Liu Wentian sighed: "It's not a secret, now that my Liu family is also in decline, you should know something about my child, so with all due respect, the Liu family can't help." ”

Han Tao changed his words but opened his mouth and said, "Brother Liu, do you remember what I said in Wanhe Restaurant?"

Liu Wentian nodded and looked at Han Tao for some reason.

"Your son is not a short-lived person. Han Tao said affirmatively.

Liu Wentian frowned.

Han Tao waved his hand, and then said, "I didn't say this, but what my Han family's ancestor, Lord Tianji, said. ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

Liu Wentian had to pay attention to Han Tao's words, after all, Han Tianji was famous, and it was rumored that this person's physiognomy was the best in the contemporary era, and he never spoke falsely.

"A few years ago, the old ancestor came to Chudu to do business, and happened to see the noble son from afar, and after the old ancestor went back, he said to the people of Tianji Valley that from now on, he and the Liu family can only be friends and not enemies. ”

At that time, I couldn't understand, so I asked the ancestor the reason, and the ancestor said that the Liu family has a son, whose name is the remnant sun, and the person is also like the remnant sun, which seems to be like the afterglow of the sunset, but in fact, the life is gorgeous and abnormal, which is very imaginable. Han Tao said seriously.

Liu Wentian said with some sadness: "It's not that I can't believe the words of Lord Tianji, it's just that the situation of my hard-working child is not optimistic!"

Han Tao diverted the topic and said, "The ancestor asked me to bring a word. ”

"Oh, what's that?"

"It is said that Liu Remnant Yang has a relationship with Tianji Valley, and let you go with the flow. ”

Liu Wentian nodded, unwilling to say more on this topic, but said, "What kind of weapon does Tianji Valley need?"

Han Tao unhurriedly took out an old and simple cloth from his arms and handed it to Liu Wentian, who took the cloth and opened it with a puzzled expression.

Through the light, you can see the dense small characters on the cloth and a fan-shaped pattern.

Liu Wentian almost from the moment he opened the cloth, his eyes never left the cloth, as if he had seen something he loved, as if he was fascinated.

Han Tao didn't bother as if he was holding a wisdom pearl, just quietly looked at Liu Wentian who was obsessed with the cloth, he believed that any refiner in the world would be the same as Liu Wentian when he saw this thing.

Half-ringing, Liu Wentian raised his head, exhaled, and said: "Tianji fan, it is really ingenious, worthy of the word Tianji!"

"How is it? I think Brother Liu should have six layers of grasp now, right?" Han Tao asked with a smile.

Liu Wentian nodded: "If Xiao'er is really safe this time, my father and I will go to Tianji Valley in person." ”

Han Tao slapped the table: "Okay, I'm relieved to ask Brother Tian for this." ”

Liu Wentian closed the cloth with a reluctant face and handed it to Han Tao: "If I can participate in the refining of this 'Heavenly Machine Fan', it will be my honor Liu Wentian." ”

Han Tao also said excitedly: "I look forward to the arrival of Brother Wentian and Senior Liu." ”

"Alright, I'm leaving. Liu Wentian stood up and said, after all, there are still too many things to do.

"Brother Liu, slow down. Han Tao stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Well, is there anything else?" asked Liu Wentian, puzzled.

Han Tao said with a smile: "Could it be that Brother Liu forgot what I said at the beginning." ”

"What?"

"Regardless of whether Brother Liu can go to Tianji Valley or not, Tianji Valley is willing to cooperate with the Liu family, as a collaborator, my Tianji Valley will naturally not come empty-handed. Han Tao said with a smile.

Liu Wentian was puzzled, but he didn't rush to speak, but quietly waited for Han Tao's next words.

Han Tao had a feeling of hitting the cotton with a punch, and this man was always unhurried or impatient, even at such moments.

I saw him take out the Heavenly Machine Order and throw it to Liu Wentian: "You take this token first, the Tianji Pavilion of Chudu with this token will obey your dispatch, I think it should be able to help you." ”

Liu Wentian was surprised, he didn't expect that the somewhat unobtrusive man in front of him would have such courage to dare to casually hand over a treasure to a stranger he had just met.

"Brother Liu doesn't need to question it, I believe in Brother Liu's character, and I believe in my own vision. Han Tao said cynically.

Liu Wentian raised the Heavenly Order in his hand, and said in a flat tone: "Thank you!"

Then he walked out of the wooden house in a stunned state, stepped on the top of the tree, and flew into the darkness in the moonlight.

"Is this the end?" said half-loud Han Tao thoughtlessly.

What he didn't know was how difficult it was to get this proud man to say 'thank you' to him, because this man had never said thank you a few times in his life, and one of them was to him Han Tao.

The moonlight is bleak, and the breeze makes the March night a little cooler.

At this moment, Liu Wentian is flying in the forest sea quickly, with the ups and downs of the forest sea, his mood is also up and down, simple trust, the harvest is warmth, in this ruthless rivers and lakes, it is rare to have someone who believes in you.

Chudu, the old house of the Liu family.

The old house of the Liu family is a three-entry courtyard in the shape of a 'eye', quite magnificent, covering an area of dozens of acres, there are hundreds of people in the whole courtyard, most of them are surnamed Liu, but most of these people were later changed to the surname Liu, in fact, they have no blood relationship with the Liu family, most of them are the disciples or servants of the Liu family, and at this moment in the courtyard of the Liu family, the descendants of the Liu family are not one, Liu San is the actual controller of this house.

At this time, the entire courtyard of the Liu family was brightly lit, and in the west wing of the inner courtyard, an extremely wide room was the meeting hall of the Liu family, in addition to the people in the willow leaves, there were several people with foreign surnames, and these people with foreign surnames were the disciples of the Liu family's alchemy.

Liu San sat first on the left, and the rest were Liu Si and some other veterans, and the first person opposite was named Zhang Gaoshuo, about fifty years old, this person was tall and burly, with a ruddy complexion, high bulging temples, and bright eyes.

If you talk about the origin of this person, ordinary people really don't know, this person is Liu Qingshan's senior brother, the personal disciple of Liu Qiyun, the old lady Liu.

Liu Qiyun, the father of Liu Qingshan, a master of the rivers and lakes, a collection of martial arts and refining techniques and Dacheng, but this person has not appeared in front of the world for decades, some people say that he is dead, some people say that he has already explored the world and is hidden in the mountains, and some people say that he is in the Yulin Mountain behind the Liu family compound.

But no matter what kind of rumors it is, it can't hide the glory of Old Man Liu.

Zhang Gaoshuo is also a famous contemporary craftsman, although the strength is not as strong as his own junior brother, but the art of refining weapons is still above Liu Qingshan, these years he does not ask about the world, almost does not interfere in the management of Liu San's Liu family, and is dedicated to taking these disciples to strengthen the way of refining the Liu family, his status in the Liu family is still above Liu San, this old man is dedicated to the Liu family, and he is studying the art of refining.

Sitting under Zhang Gaoshuo were Liu Qingshan's three disciples and his own apprentices, Liu Qingshan's eldest apprentice Yuan Gang, the second apprentice Huo Greedy Wolf, and the third apprentice Yu Dali.

The eldest apprentice Yuan Gang is also tall and mighty, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his exposed arms are dark and strong, showing people a strong sense of strength.

The second apprentice, Huo Greedy Wolf, is short and strong, the whole person gives people a bloodthirsty taste, and his dark face is full of tyranny, but what makes people feel strange is that he is sitting on the chair at the moment without any impatience, but the old god is looking up at the roof of the room, as if everything is indifferent.

The third apprentice, Yu Dali, this person is almost the same as Yuan Gang, but he doesn't look old as Yuan Gang, sitting on the chair and twisting back and forth, looking at this and that, his personality doesn't match his figure at all, but you must know that his age is not very old, he is only in his early twenties, and he is Liu Qingshan's youngest apprentice and the last apprentice.

There are four other people sitting under Yu Dali, they are all Zhang Gaoshuo's apprentices, they are about the same age as Yuan Gang, they are all about thirty or forty years old, but their status in the Liu family is slightly lower than that of Yu Dali and others.

These people looked at each other, some looked down, some looked up, not knowing what they were thinking.

There was not a single woman in a conference hall in Nuoda, not even a maid, and the Liu family had a family rule, that is, women were not allowed to participate in family affairs.

Zhang Gaoshuo opened his mouth and said, "The meeting can begin." ”

Liu San cleared his voice, looked around, and said: "There was a bloody incident in the Tailai Inn, and dozens of people died tragically, I believe you also know a lot of information through your own means!"

It was only less than two hours since the bloody case at the Tailai Inn happened, but the entire Chu capital had already spread, and there were many family forces like the Liu family, which was also brightly lit.

There is no way, the matter of Tailai Inn has too much impact, and it is impossible for any force not to pay attention to it, and nearly twenty people died at one time, which is a rare big case in the entire Chu capital for several years.

No one answered, just someone straightened their clothes and sat up a little straighter.

"There is a martial artist among them, who has a hole in his throat, and some people say that it was done by my Liu family's 'Taiyi Divine Needle', what do you think?" Liu San said unhurriedly.

The old man's eyes were blazing, and he had been watching everyone's reactions.

Zhang Gaoshuo glanced at Yuan Gang, Yuan Gang understood, and said: "I rarely go out in the Refining Hall, it can't be a case done by someone from my Refining Hall." ”

"What do you mean, could it be that my willow leaf people did it!" shouted the third person on the other side dissatisfiedly.

"Hmph, I don't know if I did it or not, anyway, it's not from my Refining Hall. Yuan Gang said with a sneer.
