3. Talented and beautiful women, chess opponents (21)
Qiao Shoumin and Li Chan.
On that day, I didn't go back, so I stayed in Liuxian Tower for one night.
At dawn, the two got up in the red cui, but they could hear the noise in the Liuxian Building. Qiao Shoumin loves to be lively, so he went to inquire about it, and when he came back, he looked lonely and depressed.
Li Chan asked curiously, "Why is Brother Qiao so pale?"
Qiao Shoumin replied: "Sun everyone doesn't know why, and suddenly disappeared. The steward of Liuxian Mansion has reported to the official, but the government has no clue, which really makes people feel worried. If I were to know who had taken Qingya captive, I would not have given up with him. ”
When Li Chan heard this, he was also quite melancholy, he was also used to Fengyue for a long time, and knew that Sister Qinglou suddenly disappeared, either ran away with someone, or was taken captive.
The former is fine, and the latter is unpredictable.
A catcher who was inquiring about the case in Liuxian Lou also had a lot of sighs on his face, and once he inquired, he took a few catchers and left.
One of the catchers couldn't help but ask: "Yu Zhutou! This case is quite strange. ”
Yu Zhutou shook his head and said, "Don't ask more! Recently, there have been several major cases in the vicinity, some of them suddenly died, and some people disappeared inexplicably, all of which did not have any clues. This kind of strange case, if we can solve it, we have the ability to catch some thieves and protect the safety of the neighborhood, it is not easy, let's wait for the top to send someone. Such a snitch thief, even if we find out the murderer, we can't wait. ”
Yu Zhutou still had a sentence, but he didn't dare to say it, he even suspected that there was a demon in Yangzhou Mansion recently, but he said this kind of thing casually, once it spread, it would cause people to panic, and it would be difficult for him to get a demagogic charge, and this official skin would be picked up.
What's more, there is no evidence, where is the good speculation?
There was a commotion here in Liuxian Tower, and Qiao Shoumin and Li Chan were not in the mood to continue looking for flowers and willows.
Li Chan wanted to go home, but Qiao Shoumin was a fun-loving person, so he stopped him and said: "Let's go to Xu Qingyuan and find the little brother Jingyu to drink, he has a very good scenery and can relax his mind." ”
Li Chan had no choice but to call a sedan chair and come with Qiao Shoumin to visit Wang Chong.
Wang Chong sent Sun Qingya away yesterday, and he no longer saw anyone, only practiced on the Xiaoyi Xingxing Tower, he had already refined the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and wanted to restore the twelve canons as soon as possible.
Seventy-two alchemy and Emei heart method are quite different, Emei is a pure sword cultivation path, originated in the two Jin Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, Emei disciples to enter the qi refining technique, is the sword technique, with sword qi through the meridians around the body.
For example, Mo Hu'er, after apprenticeship, practiced the Shaoyang Sword Technique.
The ancestor of the iron plough in Xichuan Poison Dragon Temple, the immortal and martial arts are in the same stream, and in addition to refining qi, they also have to practice boxing, refining muscles and bones, and getting closer to the ancient monks.
Ling Su Er left in a hurry, and he didn't expect that this apprentice might be able to refine the meridians around his body in just a few months, so he only passed on the qi refining method, and did not teach the fist method that cooperated with the seventy-two alchemy technique, and he didn't even mention this matter.
Wang Chong naturally didn't know how to cultivate after the seventy-two alchemy technique penetrated the eight veins of the Qi Jing and the twelve canons.
He practiced all night, had breakfast in the morning, and not long after, when he heard that Qiao Shoumin and Li Chan were visiting, he was also quite surprised, and hurriedly greeted him.
When Qiao Shoumin saw Wang Chong, he sighed and shouted, "Little Brother Tang, do you know that something happened to Liuxian Tower last night, and someone kidnapped and plundered the Sun family." ”
Wang Chong still took a moment before he reacted, Qiao Shoumin was talking about Sun Qingya, he smiled secretly in his heart, and asked softly: "Have you reported to the official?"
Li Chan was also a little worried, and the talented man said in a low voice: "I heard that there have been several strange cases in Yangzhou recently. For example, there was a family outside the south gate, with a family of 67, and suddenly they died violently in the house, and even the chickens and dogs died. Another example is that there is a Sanjia village outside Yangzhou, there were originally more than 70 households, and I don't know when, there were five or six fewer households. The villagers found that there were fewer families, and before they could report to the authorities, two more families were gone......"
Wang Chong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he suddenly remembered that when he was in Chengdu Mansion, more than 100 people in the Huayi Gang were killed.
At that time, he didn't care, and it wasn't his hand, not to mention that he was born in the Demon Sect, and ordinary people died hundreds of times, and it was only regarded as ordinary.
Thinking about it at this time, I have some vague thoughts, but they are vague.
Wang Chong secretly said: "The case of the Huayi Gang is in Chengdu Mansion, this is Yangzhou Mansion, thousands of miles away, where can there be a connection? can easily kill so many people, I'm afraid that someone in the cultivation will make a move. ”
Qiao Shoumin and Li Chan didn't have a clue, they were invited by Wang Chong inside, sat down in Xiaoyi Lianxing Tower, and entangled what they knew into a mess and talked to Wang Chong casually.
These two didn't want to ask Wang Chong for an idea, but just to talk to him to relieve his worries.
Wang Chong also knew that the two did not come to ask him for help, so he talked with the two for a while, and then ordered his subordinates to arrange a banquet.
Qiao Shoumin and Li Chan are romantic and talented people after all, and they chanted poems and sang right at the banquet, and gradually forgot their worries.
Qiao Shoumin stayed in Xu Qingyuan until the evening, and refused to leave, and pulled Li Chan to talk with Wang Chong at night.
Wang Chong thought that he still had to "cross" Li Chan, and he would not be bad for the cultivation of the past two days, if he could get closer to each other, he would be able to fool Ling Sur in the future, and he would gladly keep it.
Qiao Shoumin and Wang Chong persuaded once, and Li Chan had no choice but to ask people to go back to the house to report the news, and they also stayed in Xuqing Garden.
Qiao Shoumin and Li Chan stayed overnight, and Wang Chong asked someone to hold a banquet in the garden, and the three of them drank until the willows on the moon, and then the excitement dispersed.
Wang Chong arranged a place for the two of them to live and returned to Xiaoyi Lianxing Tower, but saw Yanbei people waiting downstairs.
Wang Chong couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the matter with Mr. Yan?"
Yan Beiren said with a solemn face: "There are some things, I didn't want to tell the owner, so as not to cause trouble to the son." Today, I happened to hear three gentlemen talking about the recent strange case in Yangzhou Mansion, and the northerners happened to know the secret, and they thought about it for a long time, so they still told Gongzi. ”
Wang Chong groaned slightly, smiled and said: "If it is not a few words, you can explain it, and Mr. Yan will go upstairs with me!"
Wang Chong rested on the seventh floor of the highest, and he beckoned the Yanbei people to go up to the top floor together, and sat down as guests and hosts.
The little fox Hu Su'er served fragrant tea and sent some refreshments, all of which were made by the chefs in the house, which were quite exquisite.
Yanbei people knew that the little fox was close to Wang Chong, and Hu Su'er could annotate the flower god to his father and daughter, so he thought that this little fox must have been taught by Wang Chong, and he was also a member of the Taoist sect, and he did not shy away from Hu Suer.
