Chapter 298: Beihai Wuning Mansion
A certain brilliant poet once said, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes." β
If this sentence is placed in the rivers and lakes of Beihai, it will not be wrong at all.
Beihai is inaccessible, there are not many secular people, and there are even fewer martial artists in the rivers and lakes, but even so, there can be a Beihai rivers and lakes here, and there can also be martial arts sects of different sizes.
Even after Chao Qingqiu killed the big demon in Beihai, Beihai briefly became the focus of mountains and rivers, and countless eyes looked at Beihai, of course, after the big demon was killed, the sword fairy left, and his eyes dispersed, Beihai returned to the original Beihai.
Secluded and peaceful.
Where there are rivers and lakes, there will inevitably be disputes.
Ningfu City is the most important place in the entire Beihai rivers and lakes.
Not only because of the entire Beihai, the deepest foundation and the largest number of disciples, but also because the Wuning Mansion, which occupies the Beihai Sect for the first time, is located in the city of Ningfu.
is also because there is a world leader in the rivers and lakes of Beihai sitting in this Ningfu City, Xie Huaiyin.
This lord of Wuning Mansion, when he was young, was already the next lord of this Wuning Mansion, martial arts cultivation is a young handsome man who overwhelms the entire Beihai rivers and lakes, and he is also a poet, and the major bookstores in the rivers and lakes in Beihai still sell the poems of this Wuning Mansion Lord, if this is the case, what is even more incomprehensible is that this mansion master is already both civil and military, but his face is like a crown of jade, and he is extremely handsome, every time he walks out of Ningfu City when he is young, he will cause a sensation, I don't know how many women in the Beihai rivers and lakes mention the name of this Wuning Mansion Lord, and they will have a blush on their facesγ
It wasn't until he succeeded as the lord of Wuning Mansion that Xie Huaiyin lived in a simple place, devoted himself to studying martial arts, and occasionally appeared in the rivers and lakes, all in order to punish evil and promote good, so twenty or thirty years have passed, Xie Huaiyin has become the current lord of the Xie Mansion, and there are many fewer heroines who pay attention to the appearance of the lord of the Xie Mansion.
There are more storytellers who spread the heroic deeds of this Xie Mansion Lord and the realm of martial arts.
The entire Beihai rivers and lakes, if it is said that the Beihai Sword Shrine before the renaming of Xiaoyi Tower is the first sword school on the board, and there are many swordsmen in the Sword Shrine, which can be called the most romantic place. The lord of the Xie Mansion is the most merry person who overwhelms these merry swordsmen.
Therefore, when Li Fuyao knew that the enemy who was always in the house was the lord of the Wuning Mansion who had been in a merry manner, he was a little puzzled at first.
Chang Lin said expressionlessly: "It's true that Xie Huaiyin is a decent person, but it doesn't mean that anything he has done in his life is a good thing, and there is nothing wrong." β
A good person who does one thing wrong is more hated than a bad person who does a hundred wrong things, but it does not necessarily mean that a good person will not be held accountable.
In particular, the wrong thing was two lives.
Chang Lin's parents and parents died at the hands of the master of Wuning Mansion.
Li Fuyao didn't ask about the specific content, and Chang Lin didn't take the initiative to talk about it.
Approaching Ningfu City, there are a lot more martial artists with weapons in sight, among which there are many with swords, but in addition, there are not a few with swords, guns and halberds, Li Fuyao even saw a strong man with a halberd who had already stepped on the cultivation avenue, leading a tall horse, slowly entering the city.
A little more thought, Li Fuyao now has a sword trick handed down from the wind and dust, thinking that ordinary people in this Ningfu City can't see his roots, carrying a sword box, ordinary people will only think that he is a swordsman, looking at his age, he will not even pay too much attention.
It's just that since there is a halberd master who has stepped on the cultivation avenue into the city, it is not necessarily that there are no other monks in this city, Li Fuyao is not afraid that the master of the Wuning Mansion is really as rumored, and the martial arts cultivation is as rumored, but he is afraid that his force is force pressure, but this force word is not a martial arts word.
Approaching the city gate, Li Fuyao looked up at the city wall that was more than five or six zhang high, the city wall was made of large pieces of bluestone, different from ordinary small cities, and there was a sense of majesty when he looked at it, but Li Fuyao, who had been to Luoyang City, did not feel how tall, but the fish behind him was a little surprised, but thinking that he could not lose Li Fuyao's face, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
A group of three people plus a donkey entered the city, the guards at the city gate did not check how, there are too many people in this place, if you really want to ask one by one, I am afraid that a long dragon will be discharged at this city gate, plus there is a world leader in this city, no one is really worried that someone dares to make trouble in the city.
You said that your martial arts are world-famous, you have to beat the Wuning Mansion Lord first, otherwise, where did you come from, where will you go back.
There was no obstacle to entering the city, but the guards looked at the big black donkey who was not tied by any rope but knew that the three of them were following Li Fuyao with some interest, but they didn't bother too much.
Walking in the city cave, you can also see the prosperity of Ningfu City in front of you, Li Fuyao walked slowly with the sword box on his back, and Yu Yao always followed Li Fuyao two steps away.
The appearance of the fish is not bad, and the place where he enters the city is the most crowded place, some ruffians who have been waiting for a long time look at such a delicate little lady, and they want to come up to rub oil in the crowd, not to mention whether they can touch the little lady's buttocks and breasts, even touching the arms is also a beautiful thing.
It's just that they don't know that Yu Yan treats Li Fuyao as a little maid, and everything is at Li Fuyao's orders, but to these ill-intentioned ruffians and hooligans, they are not so polite, some of the ruffians who haven't been able to touch Yu Yan saw the little lady hook the corners of their mouths, and the next moment they inexplicably seemed to have been slapped in the face, and they looked dazed, but they soon knew that this was a difficult one, and they disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
Feng Lu raised his head and looked at the fish, thinking to himself that such a girl has someone to rub oil, what kind of vision?
Yu Yu didn't know that Coolo could speak, but she knew that Coolo was a psychic donkey, and it was also Li Fuyao's donkey, so when Coolo looked at her, she smiled at Coolo.
Feng Lu didn't think it was interesting, but he just walked forward on his own, thinking that if Li Fuyao stayed at the inn and let him live in a stable or something like that later, it would be even if Li Fuyao was ungrateful.
Blind that day, Lao Tzu carried Chao Fengchen to save you!
As for whether he saved Li Fuyao that day, such a trivial matter as saving Li Fuyao, Feng Lu deliberately forgot about it.
The layout of Ningfu City is actually no different from any city in the world, in addition to the outer city, there is also an inner city, and that inner city is where the sect of Wuning Mansion is located, and the first in the world of Beihai rivers and lakes looks down on Beihai in that inner city, so that all the martial artists can't raise their heads.
This near-perfect Wuning Mansion Lord really did something that killed his parents who were often present?
Li Fuyao was skeptical.
Walking into Ningfu City, Chang Lin said that he wanted to go to the inner city to have a look, Li Fuyao did not stop him, nodded, Chang Lin bowed, and then turned around and walked towards another street, and soon disappeared.
Yu Yan asked worriedly: "Childe, aren't you afraid that he will act recklessly and lose his life?"
Li Fuyao looked natural, "He wants to choose this stupid way to take revenge, what can I do, is it difficult to pull him along?" His revenge has nothing to do with us, if you really want to spare your life, or feel that you can be above the top after practicing swordsmanship on the mountain for a few days, and you deserve to die." β
Feng Lu snorted and agreed with Li Fuyao's statement, this going out to walk the rivers and lakes, life and death are in an instant, if you want to live longer, just keep your eyes on yourself, don't think about who will save you all day long, to be honest, this is not reliable at all.
Yu Yan followed behind Li Fuyao and asked with a smile: "What if Chang Lin really walked into that inner city with a swagger like this, shook the immortal majesty, and then said that he would let that Wuning Mansion Lord pay for his life?"
Li Fuyao said politely at all: "At most, tomorrow, his body will be hung at the gate of the city, and then it will be announced to the entire Ningfu City, this unknown descendant of the rivers and lakes is so bold that he dares to assassinate the city lord of Wuning during the day." β
Yu Yan asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say that Xie Huaiyin is just an ordinary martial artist in the rivers and lakes, how can Chang Lin also be a swordsman from our Xiaoyi Building." β
Li Fuyao thought of the strong man with the halberd he saw when he entered the city before, as well as the other people he saw walking in the city, and thought that Wuning City was really not as simple as they imagined.
A pure martial artist can control the field?
Li Fuyao definitely didn't believe it.
Therefore, no matter how he looked at the matter of killing Xie Huaiyin, Li Fuyao felt that he had to think about it in the long run, and if he didn't get it right, it would be possible to stay in this Wuning City for a year and a half.
"Chang Lin is not a fool, he will not die so easily. β
Li Fuyao remembered the words that Chang Lin asked him the second time, and Chang Lin said conclusively that his life was precious.
After walking a few steps, Li Fuyao glanced at a deserted restaurant located next to the street, and smiled, "Let's eat." β
......
......
The average diner is always willing to go to a restaurant with a lot of people when choosing a place, after all, doesn't this crowded place symbolize that the restaurant's dishes are more delicious?
As long as there are no mistakes, the business will naturally get better and better, while the restaurant with a cold business will become more and more deserted if you don't think of a way.
Li Fuyao walked into this restaurant, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the strong man who had entered the city with a halberd on his back somewhere in the corner tower, and at the moment he was sitting at the table, drinking alone, and a halberd leaned against the wall like this, but that face was just facing Li Fuyao.
Looking at the figure before, I just thought that this strong man should be five big and three thick, fierce and vicious.
But now when I look at the appearance of the strong man, I find that he has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he doesn't look like a rough man at all.
Li Fuyao retracted his gaze and no longer continued to look over there, walking the rivers and lakes, which was also taboo.
The restaurant was deserted, and it turned out that even the shopkeeper had never invited one, and after Li Fuyao sat down for a while, the thin shopkeeper who had been standing behind the counter for a long time trotted over and squeezed out a stiff smile, "What do you want to eat?"
At first glance, the shopkeeper is a master who can't operate, and it's so difficult to show a smile, if it weren't for this, this big restaurant wouldn't have fallen to this point.
Li Fuyao turned his head and glanced at Yu Yan, Yu Yan understood, and asked the shopkeeper to borrow a step to speak, and then she pointed to the big black donkey who was still at the door, and when she entered the restaurant before, she didn't bring the donkey in, just to consider the difficulties of the restaurant, this time she pointed, Yu Yan didn't know what to say, and finally the shopkeeper said softly: "There is a small room next door, you can lead it there, but if you want forage......"
Yu Yu hurriedly waved his hand, saying that the donkey liked to sleep all day long, and did not need to prepare anything to eat.
After some discussion, Yu Yu ordered a few more dishes by the way, and then led the bath to the next room.
In this way, there are really only Li Fuyao and the strong man with the halberd left in the restaurant.
Li Fuyao was silent, didn't look at the strong man, just drank the cheap tea brought by the shopkeeper.
The quiet in the restaurant was a little scary.
But the man began to look at Li Fuyao.
Li Fuyao was silent for a while, finally turned his head to look at the man, and asked hesitantly: "This hero, there are flowers on his face?"
ββ
The inner city of Ningfu City, compared with the outer city wall, is much shorter, but the city gate guards are more strict, except for some people who originally live in the inner city, the rest of the outsiders who want to enter the inner city need to be interrogated.
Chang Lin entered the inner city with the excuse of visiting the old man, he was very familiar with Ningfu City, but he would not show his feet in such a trivial matter, and after accepting the interrogation, Chang Lin walked straight into the inner city.
Wuning Mansion is located in the most central part of the inner city, covering an area that is comparable to the imperial palaces of some small countries.
Chang Lin walked quietly on the street, with a sword hanging from his waist, when he passed by the Wuning Mansion, he was unhurried, and occasionally looked up at the Wuning Mansion, just like an ordinary person who had heard of the name of the Wuning Mansion, and there was nothing special.
After walking for about half an hour, Chang Lin left the street, then turned into an alley and continued his slow walk.
The alley is paved with bluestone, and there are high walls on both sides, so it is difficult for sunlight to shine in, and it looks a little gloomy.
Chang Lin walked a long way and stood for a moment in front of a wooden door that had been painted.
The lock is old, and the person is dead.
Chang Lin pushed the door open, but the lock failed to fall to the ground, but was pinched in Chang Lin's hand and put into his arms.
Pushing the door in, I was greeted by a dilapidated courtyard, and then there was a large water tank in the courtyard, and in the tank was some black and foul-smelling rainwater.
When I looked at it, there were two fish bones floating in the tank, and then a gauze towel that had faded badly.
Chang Lin walked through the small courtyard with a blank face and pushed open the door of the house.
A smell of decay greeted you.
Chang Lin stood outside the door for a while, not entering.
Then he withdrew and sat under the eaves.
Looking up, it was also dilapidated.
Chang Lin sat under the eaves and was silent.
The door was pushed open, and it was Yu Yu who walked in.
Seeing Yu Yan walk into the small courtyard, Chang Lin didn't panic at all, but said, "I knew that Uncle Shi would let you come." β
Yu Yan stood in front of the water tank not far away, looked at the contents of the water, and asked, "This is your home?"
Chang Lin nodded, "Not bad." β
Yu Yan still didn't get close to Chang Lin, but just asked, "Can you tell me how Xie Huaiyin killed your family?"
In the final analysis, she still cares about this issue, although she doesn't know if Gongziguan cares, but she feels that she needs to ask this matter clearly.
Chang Lin thought for a moment, picked a place and said, "Most of the decent people you think are heroes and heroes, and they naturally want to do good things and do good deeds, but if you do a bad thing one day, if you do a bad thing, it may not be too serious, but you have to find a way to cover it up, since you want to cover it up, you will naturally have to do other bad things, and if you do this series of bad things, will you change from a good person to a bad person?"
"Xie Huaiyin is a person with willpower, so he naturally did a bad thing, and then did another bad thing to cover up the previous incident, so that he could still be the lord of Wuning Mansion, the respected Beihai Jianghu No. 1 in the world. β
"My parents were the second evil thing he did, because they saw the first evil thing he did. β
This kind of thing is the most common thing in the rivers and lakes, I don't know how many times it will happen in a day, but most of them can be cut down and eradicated, and only by surviving can they stage a big drama of revenge, and only when they succeed can they let others know.
Yu Yan opened his mouth and asked, "What was the first evil thing he did?"
For this first person in the rivers and lakes of Beihai, Yu Yan can hear a lot of rumors even on the Gan River, and he is naturally interested in knowing what it is, after all, the lord of Wuning Mansion is also said to be both civil and military.
Chang Lin thought for a while and said, "For a secret book, Xie Huaiyin wanted it, but the owner of the secret book refused to let it." And so came the aftermath. β
Yu Yan thought that Wuning Mansion was the first-class sect in the rivers and lakes of Beihai, and he didn't know how many cheats there were in the sect, what would be the cheats that could make Xie Huaiyin think?
Yu Yan didn't think deeply, but she also understood that if she really wanted Chang Lin to say this, it would be Xie Huaiyin's mistake.
Revenge is justified.
But I always feel a little strange.
Yu Yan asked again, "Then how are you going to kill?"
When he asked this, Yu Yan didn't know why he remembered what Li Fuyao said before.
Chang Lin didn't answer this question, just looked up at the small courtyard.
Some things are hard to say, but they are also interesting.
Yu Yan reminded lightly: "Childe may not be too happy. β
Chang Lin remembered the scene when he met Li Fuyao for the second time, and his face was expressionless.
Yu Yan said in an accentuated tone: "You can't make Childe unhappy. β
The former is a reminder and the latter is a warning.
Chang Lin smiled, "But Uncle Shi may not like you." β
Yu Yan smiled, "So what does it matter?"
ββ
Outside the Wuning Mansion in the inner city of Ningfu City, the first person in the world in the Beihai rivers and lakes to go out of the city for a few days returned to Wuning Mansion today.
A group of Wuning Mansion disciples had already received the news, so they waited at the door early, but they waited for most of the day, but they couldn't see their own mansion master appear, and some disciples who were not of high rank couldn't help but complain, but they were soon reprimanded by the old man on the side in a low voice.
Who is the lord of the house, and how can you criticize him?
So a short commotion was followed by silence.
Everyone is looking forward to it.
But no one knew that the lord of the Wuning Mansion, who was said to be like a crown of jade when he was young, led his horse across the long street, came to a high-rise mansion compound, and patted the gate.
When the porter poked his head out, Xie Huaiyin said with a smile: "As soon as the trouble is reported, it will be said that Xie Huaiyin came to visit." β
