Chapter 42: The willows are bright

The gangsters who had split up to find the whereabouts of Gang Leader Yang came back one after another, and Elder Gao was annoyed that he didn't find their traces. Xiaoyao Scholar and Zhang Jianfeng pointed out Elder Gao from the side that they should now rush to Ezhou as soon as possible to make public the connivance of the murderer surnamed Yang and the cruelty of the gang.

Elder Gao thought that the scholar was reasonable, and after consulting Elder Xiao's opinion, he left his henchman Cheng Shengsheng to take care of the affairs of Tanzhou. He and Elder Xiao went to Ezhou to attend the beggar gang conference.

Gang Leader Yang and others escaped, and Boss Zhao offended the beggar gang because of Gang Leader Yang's righteous help, and felt that he owed him a great favor. Gang leader Yang told Master Zhao that he was acting according to his conscience, and he had his own judgment after the merits.

The head of Zhao told the Yang gang leader that if he wanted to clear his suspicion, he could find some clues from the dead Zheng Datong.

Gang Master Yang nodded, he and Zhao Zhangmen carefully searched Zheng Datong's body, after Zhao Zhangmen knocked on Zheng Datong's sole, he found that the sole was empty, so he opened it, and pulled out a piece of silk from it.

He handed the silk silk to the Yang gang leader, and the Yang gang leader read the text recorded on it, and it turned out that this was the martial arts secret book of Xuanyin Gong. He said to Zhao Zhangmen next to him: "The reason why this person has become a yin and yang face must be because he is affected by lust when he is practicing, so that he will fail in his success. ”

The head of Zhao told Gang Leader Yang that it was he who abolished this person's martial arts. Gang Leader Yang hurriedly asked the reason, and Boss Zhao told Gang Leader Yang in detail what happened in Huzhou.

Gang Leader Yang said: "The head of Zhao's house is kind and let him live, but he has not changed his thief's heart, and now he finally reaps the consequences." ”

Master Zhao pointed to the silk silk and asked Gang Leader Yang if he could find some clues from this person's martial arts?

Gang Master Yang sighed and said: "I heard the former Wu Gang Master say that there was a man named Thousand-Faced Old Monster thirty years ago, who used Xuanyin Gong to cause trouble to the rivers and lakes, but after he was injured by Shaolin Huiqing Zen Master with a thousand leaf palm, he has disappeared from the rivers and lakes since then. ”

Zhao Zhangmen said: "Then let's go to Shaolin Temple to inquire and see if we can get some news?"

Gang Master Yang replied: "Zen Master Chiba has been dead for many years, and the old monster with a thousand faces has not left any valuable clues, I think even if we go to Shaolin, I am afraid it will be in vain." ”

A glimmer of dawn was swallowed up by darkness like this, and Gang Leader Yang and Master Zhao held this silk handkerchief, and their hearts were at a loss.

Seeing that the two seniors were in trouble, Cunyi pondered and sought a way to find a clue.

Memories recur in the cycle of time, and he thought of a person who might have a way to find some clues.

Yufeng saw Cunyi's gaze stagnant, she pushed his arm, and said softly, "Brother Cunyi, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah" Cunyi let out an exclamation, and then said to Master Zhao with joy on his face: "Senior Zhao, I think of a person, maybe from him, you can get clues about the thousand-faced old monster. ”

Gang Leader Yang and Boss Zhao listened to him and hurriedly asked who this person was? Cunyi told the two seniors that this person was Wang Deshan of the Hongxin Sect of Qingfeng Valley.

Yufeng had heard that there was still a sect of Hongxinmen on the rivers and lakes, and she took Cunyi's hand and asked him to tell him about the situation of Hongxinmen. Cunyi told her that he didn't know much about this sect, and he had only dealt with them once after looking for Uncle Han.

Gang leader Yang said: "I know this Hongxinmen, it is said that it has information and intelligence networks everywhere, specializing in the business of buying and selling information. The head is Wang Deshan, who is known as the ghost head knife, this person rarely moves around in the rivers and lakes, so many people don't know about him, but he is greedy for money and unjust, and he doesn't do anything when he sees money. ”

Cunyi listened and said, "Gang Leader Yang, you are right. The last time we asked him for help, he asked us for five hundred taels of gold, and it was Brother Mao Lan who gave him the ancestral Qinglong Jade, so he agreed to help us find someone?"

Yufeng listened to Cunyi's narration and smacked her tongue and said, "Five hundred taels of gold? This Wang Deshan is really not a good thing." ”

Cunyi nodded, and he continued: "Although Wang Deshan opened his mouth widely, his information is indeed very well-informed. Soon my uncle was found. ”

Gang Leader Yang thought that he could try it with Wang Deshan, and Master Zhao thought that this was the only way to do it at the moment. The four of them were tired of driving and rushing all the way to Hongxinmen.

After arriving at Hongxinmen, the disciples untied the blades of the four and led them to see Wang Deshan. Wang Deshan's sharp eyes glanced at the four of them, and finally stopped at Cunyi's body. He thinks this handsome young man, how can he feel so familiar?"

He stared at the big eyes like copper bells, pointed at Cunyi with his finger and said, "Why do I feel familiar with you?"

Cunyi clasped his fists and saluted him, and then he told Wang Deshan about looking for Uncle Han before.

Wang Deshan suddenly realized, rubbed his beard under his chin with his hand, and kept nodding and smiling. He called Cunyi an old man, but he did not have any courtesy for the old man.

After some hypocritical greetings, Wang Deshan asked Cunyi if he came back this time, what was there to find him?"

Cunyi introduced him to the two seniors of Gang Leader Yang and Head Zhao.

When Wang Deshan heard that the heads of the two major factions were coming in person, he ordered someone to move a stool and let the two heads sit down to discuss.

Gang leader Yang got straight to the point and told Wang Deshan that their trip was to ask Wang Deshan to help find the whereabouts of the thousand-faced monster. ”

When Wang Deshan heard that they were looking for a thousand-faced monster, a dark cloud immediately shrouded his face.

He began to fall silent.

Yufeng saw him stand up, pacing back and forth, and her pink peach pouted: "It is said that Hongxinmen is a sea of news, and you can learn all kinds of news on the rivers and lakes." Now it seems that the head of the king is just in vain. ”

When Wang Deshan saw Yufeng scolding him, his eyes widened, and he scolded angrily: "Who are you, this girl, and how dare you insult the old man?"

The head of Zhao hurriedly got up and gave a salute and told Wang Deshan that this was his beloved apprentice. Wang Deshan dissipated his anger at this time, and he said to Zhao Zhangmen: "If you want to find out the whereabouts of the thousand-faced old monster, you must give me a thousand taels of gold." But I advise you, that even if you find you rich, you may not be destined to see him. ”

As soon as Wang Deshan said this, the four of them looked at each other. They hurriedly asked what was going on?

Wang Deshan told them that he would bring the gold first before he would tell the truth. As soon as Gang Leader Yang heard his words, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face again, he was a leader who asked for food, and he had no tile on his head, so where could he have the money to give him? Boss Zhao did not carry such a large sum of money.

Yufeng said to Wang Deshan: "Why do you want so much gold? If you die, you can't take anything with you." ”

Wang Deshan grinned and said proudly: "I am willing, can you manage it? I see gold sleeping every day, and I sleep soundly." ”

Yufeng was so angry that her eyebrows fluttered, and her face was angry. Cunyi stepped forward, clasped his fists and said: "Senior Wang, we went out in a hurry and didn't bring so much gold, can you see the old man's sake, let me make up the gold for you later." ”

When Wang Deshan heard this, he immediately said with strange eyes: "My brother still settles the account, and if there is no gold, give me a roll." ”

Yufeng said: "Wang Deshan, these two are the leaders of the big factions on the rivers and lakes, aren't they worth a thousand taels for their reputation?"

Wang Deshan said: "Fame is a fart, it's not as good as gold." Without further ado, if there is no gold, roll it out immediately. ”

The four of them came in the dust, how could they return in vain? However, Wang Deshan did not see rabbits, did not scatter eagles, and did not have gold, so everything was not to be discussed.

Cunyi untied his sword and said to Wang Deshan: "Senior Wang, this is my family's Danxin sword, I will keep it here, and I will redeem it with gold in the future." ”

Wang Deshan took the sword in Cunyi's hand and saw that the scabbard was pitch black and transparent, like black jade. The scabbard was in his hand, and he only felt a cold breath, he drew his sword out of the sheath, and a cold light shone in his eyes. He touched the blade with his finger,

The blade pierced his fingers, and a drop of blood slipped from the tip of the sword to the ground.

Wang Deshan nodded and said: "It is extremely sharp and leaves no traces of blood, it is really a good sword." ”

Just as he was admiring, the cold light of the blade suddenly subsided, and then the blade began to turn blood-red. When the blood red subsided, the five words "Dan Xinjian Loyalty" appeared on the sword.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the change of Danxin's sword, and Wang Deshan hurriedly asked Cunyi about the origin of this sword.

Cunyi told Wang Deshan about the past, Wang Deshan was sad when he heard it, and he said: "I didn't expect you to be a descendant of Yang Gong." ”

Cunyi nodded, and he handed Yang Lian's blood book in prison to Wang Deshan. Wang Deshan said: "I only admire Yang Gong in my life, he was brave and loyal to the people to ask for his life, but in the end he was framed by the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, and finally died tragically in prison. ”

When everyone heard the deeds of Cunyi's father, they couldn't help but feel sad again. Wang Deshan returned the Danxin Sword and the Blood Book to Cunyi, he said: "I, Wang Deshan, am greedy for money, and I will not forget the name of loyalty and righteousness. ”

Then Wang Deshan told Cunyi that after the thousand-faced old monster disappeared from the rivers and lakes thirty years ago, no one in the martial arts knew his whereabouts. But he had heard that the old monster had appeared in Kunlun Mountain.

Gang Leader Yang and Boss Zhao asked, how credible is this news? Wang Deshan replied: "Although there is no confirmation of the news of the thousand-faced old monster, the cold pool of Kunlun Mountain can drive away the palm wound of the thousand-faced old monster, and the cold pool water can also help the cultivation of Xuanyin Gong. ”

Everyone thought that Wang Deshan's words were reasonable, and they planned to get up immediately and rush to Kunlun Mountain. But Wang Deshan told them not to go easily.

Cunyi hurriedly asked Wang Deshan for the reason, and Wang Deshan told them that Hantan was guarded by four monsters. Their martial arts are strange, fierce and vicious, and no one can escape from their hands.

Gang Leader Yang listened to Wang Deshan's words and thanked him. He told Wang Deshan that people like the Four Monsters who harm the rivers and lakes, even if he doesn't have anything important to do to go to Kunlun Mountain, he knows their bad deeds, and he will think about the justice of Wulin and eradicate them.

Boss Zhao agreed with Gang Leader Yang's words, and he was also determined to eliminate harm for Wulin. Even if it is life-threatening.

Wang Deshan saw that the four of them had made up their minds, and he thought that it would be useless for him to say more. He just instructed the four of them to pay attention everywhere, and when Cunyi and the others set off, he handed over Maolan's Qinglong Jade to Cunyi.

Although there is Wang Deshan's help, Cunyi knows that this trip to Kunlun must be dangerous and abnormal.
