Chapter Seventy-Eight: Traces of Treasure
Some people's appearance will change, but the root bone is difficult to change. Ye Cibei is this kind of person, even if he is now in charge, he is still him, he is still the one who dares to act, and even his living habits have not changed much. Yin Sheng went to the Northern Desert with him and had some understanding of his living habits. Therefore, he felt that Ye Ci was still Ye Ci Compassion.
Ye Cici, Yin Sheng, and Fang Xiaodao are all heroes who dare to act, but the difference between the three of them is still obvious. Ye Ci is ruthless, Fang Xiaodao is uninhibited, and Yin Sheng is arrogant. Ye Cibei looks more like Qin Bugui's apprentice, but in fact, Ye Cibei is not free and easy at all, he is a person with a free and easy appearance. And Fang Xiaodao is not like his master, because he is still a gentle lover. Yin Sheng and the three of them have one difference, that is, he is very sophisticated, peeling back his seemingly reckless coat, he is actually always compromising with the world. And Ye Cibei and Fang Xiaodao, together with the dead Qin Bugui, they have never been afraid to stand on the opposite side of human feelings for their own perseverance. If Yin Sheng's position in Fang Xiaodao was changed, there would be no move in the Broken Soul Valley that made the world look sideways. Ye Cibei grew up with self-cultivation beside the withered vine Zen master, Fang Xiaodao was happy under the care of Qin Bugui, but Yin Sheng was lonely and helpless, so he was afraid of the world and respected the world. In his opinion, those who do not respect the world will eventually hold grudges.
Ye Cibei took a water bladder from the horse's back, opened it, and shook the tip of Yin Sheng's nose and said, "How?"
Yin Sheng said: "Good wine." ”
Ye Cibei sneered: "You say that I have changed, but if I do not change, you will definitely not drink such good wine from me." ”
Yin Sheng didn't speak, he still remembered the days when he went to the Beimo Road and spent all his money and Ye Cibei used water as wine. Because, that incident let him know that Ye Cibei, who had no taboos, never stole or robbed.
Su Ruoyao interjected: "I just want to know, where did he go?"
Ye Cibei frowned, he didn't know who Su Ruoyao was talking about, he just mistakenly thought that she was someone from Yin Sheng, so he invited her.
Yin Sheng said: "The third sister is talking about a knife. You may not know that when the two of us went to the Northern Desert, the third sister also rushed there, but she just pounced, and was finally forcibly taken back to Xiaojian Mountain by the great grandmaster. ”
Ye Cibei put the wine to his lips and took a sip and said, "It turns out that you are the legendary Su Ruoyao who broke into the Broken Soul Valley with Fang Xiaodao in life and death!" It seems that Ye Cici has also heard of this matter.
Yin Sheng took the wine from Ye Cibei's hand and said, "To my best brother, a confidant with a shallow relationship, this wine should be called sorrowful wine." ”
Meeting should have been a very pleasant thing, but Yin Sheng knew Ye Ci's arrangement of the other party's knife, and he also understood his hard work. If he meets Fang Xiaodao again, it means that Ye Ci's hard work will be in vain, and it also means that Fang Xiaodao will still float and sink in the rivers and lakes.
Ye Ci said compassionately: "Every time you drink, you find a name, you are really a boring person." Drink as much as you want, what's the use. ”
Yin Sheng only cared about drinking, ignoring Ye Cibei. The wine was sad, and he seemed to see the childish Fang Xiaodao when he first bowed, and he suddenly felt sad. After parting from the Valley of Broken Souls, they hadn't seen each other for three years. He and Fang Xiaodao's fate doesn't seem to be deep, and they haven't experienced life and death together. But he decided that Fang Xiaodao was his brother, so he must have a good knife on the other side, and it had become a natural habit for the other party to have a good knife.
Su Ruoyao said emotionally: "As long as we can meet, no sorrow is not sorrow!"
Ye Cibei glanced at Su Ruoyao and said, "The Nine Shadows Stream is really a bit far, and I only heard from him on the road." This time, I have one more important matter, and after solving it, I will dig three feet into the ground to find him, and then find a place to lock him up. ”
Su Ruoyao didn't understand why Ye Cibei locked up Fang Xiaodao, but according to the style of hoping Ye Cibei, he would definitely not do anything unfavorable to Fang Xiaodao.
Yin Sheng said: "You lied to us, didn't you go to find a knife?"
Ye Cibei looked at Yin Sheng and said, "The eldest lady of the Gongsun family has an accident, I owe her a favor, shouldn't I pay it back?"
Yin Sheng estimated that Gongsun Shu and Lin Caixia would regret it when they thought of it in their lives, but Ye Cibei seemed to really have to worry about others.
Ye Cibei continued: "I have already sent a lot of people to find Fang Xiaodao, and they will spare no effort to find it, and they will not hesitate to find some brokers. Do you think that my people don't have to worry about finding a knife?"
Ye Ci's personal charm is very strong, and his subordinates must be very obedient to orders. Moreover, his subordinates have too much blood left behind by the Demon Gate, and they all have a kind of respect for the knife from the bottom of their hearts. Therefore, even if Yin Sheng and Su Ruoyao are added, the speed of finding Fang Xiaodao will not be much faster. And Ye Cibei really needs help now, not because he is afraid of Yanbo Pavilion, but because Yanbo Pavilion is too mysterious, and mysterious things always give people a sense of fear.
Yin Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you with this." ”
The ten-story cave next to Yuelong Pond will stage the same scene every day. Whenever night falls, Su Bei will always go alone to have a family affair with Gongsun Shu, Han Zhenqi, Gong Nanyan, Pei Xudong, and Fakong. Although the five of them were very puzzled by his actions, Su Bei really never mentioned the treasure. Wu Boliang seems to have given up and never came again. And Fang Xiaodao disappeared without a trace at this moment.
In the dead of night, by the Yuelong Pond, a young man with a sword on his back stood quietly, as if waiting for someone. After a long time, a woman dressed in white came over and looked at the man silently, standing side by side, staring at the pool.
The man suddenly said, "Senior sister, what's going on?"
The woman said, "Is that all you have to say?" and she remembered the gentle man, who was like a cup of delicious poison.
The man was stunned for a long time and said, "I know, you have suffered a lot, but it's going to end for a long time, isn't it?" At that time, you will be able to return to Dongshan, and then we will ask Master to be the master and get married. Isn't that what you've always wanted, and what are you unhappy about now?" he said as he reached out to hug the woman.
The woman broke free and said, "I just wished for it, and now I don't want such a stupid thing." ”
A faint moon shadow shimmered in the water, reflecting two less clear faces. One is Yao Kebing, and the other is the leader of the Dongshan faction, Xue Shaowei among the three sons of Dongshan.
Xue Shaowei said: "Do you know, the second junior brother is about to get married, and the bride is very beautiful." ”
Yao Kebing replied lightly: "Oh!"
Xue Shaowei felt that Yao Kebing was very abnormal today, but he didn't know how to comfort him. Because Yao Kebing has suffered too much, and he has no way to share it.
Xue Shaowei said, "Don't you have anything to say?"
Yao Kebing said: "Where's the thing?"
Xue Shaowei took out a porcelain bottle from his body and said, "Master said that this thing is precious, and it must work if you want to use it." ”
Yao Kebing smiled bitterly: "What a good master!"
Xue Shaowei was stunned, whether he was a good master or not, he was a little unclear now.
Yao Kebing turned around and said, "Senior brother, what do you say is a lover?"
Xue Shaowei was stunned and said: "A lover is a lover!"
Yao Kebing shook his head and said, "No, it's the lover who dies if you can't ask for it." ”
Xue Shaowei's eyes suddenly became a little chilly, he was very taboo about life and death.
Some lost their souls, Xue Shaowei was getting farther and farther away from Yuelongtan, and suddenly a person appeared like a ghost. stood in front of Xue Shaowei and looked at him with a smile and a sneering look.
Xue Shaowei was taken aback, and when he saw the person coming clearly, he immediately drew his sword, not wanting this person to shoot faster, so he pressed his right hand and said, "Don't do it, don't do it." ”
Of course, Xue Shaowei knew Fang Xiaodao, and he had fought in Broken Soul Valley three years ago. For Fang Xiaodao, Xue Shaowei has some admiration, but he is the enemy who stands on the opposite side of Fang Xiaodao.
Xue Shaowei felt that it was easy to be discovered by others doing something here, so he pushed away Fang Xiaodao's hand and did not draw his sword again.
Fang Xiaodao said: "I was really surprised, I didn't expect that a place like being outside the world would still have the footprints of the first faction in the world." ”
Xue Shaowei exclaimed, "You, you eavesdropped just now?"
Fang Xiaodao smiled: "You may not know yet, I have been eating and living in that cave mansion recently. ”
Xue Shaowei stared at Fang Xiaodao and said, "What are you going to do?"
Fang Xiaodao said: "If you don't want to do anything, please do me a favor." ”
Xue Shaowei said: "We don't seem to have a relationship!"
Fang Xiaodao said: "It is absolutely impossible for you to kill me now, but I can easily puncture your calculations." So, now I'm not asking you, I'm persecuting you. ”
Xue Shaowei sneered: "If you offend Dongshan, you will die an ugly death." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "Don't scare me, I was already offended three years ago." ”
Xue Shaowei also finally understood that for Fang Xiaodao, the threat was very powerless. Helplessly: "We have the same people to deal with, we can join forces." ”
Fang Xiaodao nodded with a smile, very satisfied with Xue Shaowei's cooperation.
After telling Xue Shaowei what to do, Fang Xiaodao went straight back to Yuelong Pond. Then, in the darkness of the night, he entered a room where Zhang Gong was waiting for him.
Zhang Gong was a little dissatisfied: "You shouldn't run around, it's dangerous." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "It's still necessary to run, if I stay in the house all day, maybe you will sell me." ”
Zhang Gong was a little deflated and said: "My handle is in your hands, where do I have the guts." ”
Fang Xiaodao was just about to speak, when he heard a sound of footsteps outside, and immediately got behind the screen inside the room.
After the door opened, Yao Kebing walked in and said to Zhang Gong, "Senior brother, how is the matter promised to me?"
Zhang Gong said: "You should know that Master is very suspicious. Even if it were me, he wouldn't tell me a lot of things. ”
Yao Kebing said: "Is it so long that you haven't asked at all?"
Zhang Gong said: "Now Su Bei is catching up with them every day, and he should want to use a trick to deceive a result." But the master was on guard every day, and he was eavesdropping outside when Su Bei went. It seems that he hasn't asked yet, otherwise he would not have left these people alive. ”
Yao Kebing said: "Those few people in the dungeon, I don't want them to leave alive. Anyway, the account will be calculated on Wu Boliang's head, so you don't have to worry about it. ”
Zhang Gong nodded and said, "I know, but it's not easy to do it without leaving a foothold." ”
Yao Kebing didn't think about keeping horses' feet, she herself was poisoned once. Because they poisoned the Fayuan, the account will be calculated on Zhang Gong's head, and no one knows that she has been to the dungeon, and it is Zhang Gong who usually delivers food.
Yao Kebing said: "I'll remind you that Fang Xiaodao will never leave his friends behind." If you haven't shown up for so long, you must be preparing some kind of conspiracy, you have to be more careful. ”
Zhang Gong said: "Okay, thank you." ”
After Yao Kebing left, Fang Xiaodao walked out with a cold face and said, "You promised so happily." ”
Zhang Gong immediately explained: "This is just an expedient measure, how dare I really listen to her!"
It turned out that Zhang Gong had a life-threatening secret, which was now in the hands of three people. One is Yao Kebing, and the other is Fang Xiaodao and Su Bei. This secret can make him obedient, and it is not a trivial matter.
Yuelongtan is really a big joke, the legendary Yanbo Pavilion people are indifferent to fame and fortune, and live a life like immortals. But in fact, it was for the sake of the treasure that they came to Yuelong Pond, and after digging a stone cave, they found that the treasure was not here, so they settled here. seems to be isolated from the world, but in fact, he is more greedy for money than the people who disturb outside. And the news that they know more treasures has long been targeted by people outside. There was a female disciple of the Four Seas Gang who was killed before, plus Yao Kebing of the Dongshan Sect and Zhang Gong of the Demon Gate, Yuelongtan can be described as extremely exciting.
Zhang Gong is a person from the Demon Gate, which is a thing that few people know about anymore, because the Demon Gate has been destroyed. Yao Kebing was only thirteen or fourteen years old when he came to Yuelongtan, and Zhang Gong was even younger when he came, he came to Yuelongtan before he was ten years old. Probably no one would doubt that a person under the age of ten turned out to be a spy with ulterior motives. After a long time, Zhang Gong also forgot that he was a member of the Demon Gate in a trance. Only when I dreamed back at midnight and touched the golden crow pattern on my chest that had been burned since I was a child, did I soberly remember that I was the descendant of the Demon Gate. The Demon Gate was destroyed, and he once tried hard to find his home, but then even the Valley of Broken Souls was gone, and he completely became a lonely ghost. The reason why he has not married until now is because he is afraid that the mark on his chest will expose him. However, after the fall of the Valley of Broken Souls, he relaxed a little, leaving a curse.
Yao Kebing is just a weak woman, and she is struggling to move forward in Yuelongtan. And she is amazingly good-looking, so her looks and intelligence are her weapons. At first, she was a dancer instead of Wu Boliang's disciple, but as she got older, Wu Boliang became more and more fond of her, so he accepted her as an apprentice. But he not only took her as an apprentice, but even became his lover. Wu Boliang is lustful and very obsessed with her. However, when Wu Boliang found out that she was not a virgin, he began to be cold. He possessed Yao Kebing, but he never favored her or cared for her. So, slowly, everyone began to talk irresponsible and even bullied. And at this time, Zhang Gong, who had never had the joy of men and women in his life, actually fell in love. After begging for it, on a rainy night, he violated Yao Kebing. And it was that time that the mark on his chest fell into Yao Kebing's eyes.
Yao Kebing's scheming was really terrifying, she pretended not to know what the golden crow was, and she never mentioned it, so Zhang Gong was defenseless against her. It's just that she never gave Zhang Gong a chance again, and over time, Zhang Gong turned from love to hate, and became a member of the bullying of this poor woman. Until the night when he killed someone for Wu Boliang and blamed Fang Xiaodao, when he saw Yao Kebing, he thought that the opportunity had come, who knew that a good day was over. He was asked to let go of Fang Xiaodao, but you can imagine what kind of torment he went through in his heart. However, this is not the most terrible, the most terrible is Sube. In any case, he couldn't have imagined that Su Bei actually knew where he came from, and even knew who sent him. That was decades ago, and he had forgotten what the man was like. Therefore, he was threatened by Su Bei and Fang Xiaodao again.
Zhang Gong naturally chose to listen to Fang Xiaodao and Su Bei, because Yao Kebing was just a weak woman, and each of these two could kill him. More importantly, he had to admit that Su Bei and Fang Xiaodao looked more decent than Yao Kebing, and decent people should be more credible.
In fact, Zhang Gong is not a big traitor, but a poor person. Moreover, he did have true feelings for Yao Kebing, but later turned into hatred. You must know that he arrived here before he was ten years old, and he was full of martial arts, and the principles of life were all taught by Wu Boliang. The so-called upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and many of his concepts of right and wrong are wrong. But compared to Wu Boliang, he is just an obedient implementer. Moreover, he instinctively stayed away from the treasure of the quicksand king, after all, the invisible and ungraspable things had harmed him for the rest of his life.
Zhang Gong looked at Fang Xiaodao, who was lying on the side with his eyes closed, and said, "Senior Sister Yao should be true to you." ”
Fang Xiaodao opened his eyes and said, "I know this." ”
Zhang Gong was bored, and knew in his heart that Fang Xiaodao didn't like him at all, so it was useless to curry favor.
A piece of news suddenly appeared in the martial arts, like a thunderclap in the flat ground, and suddenly the wind surged. The Quicksand King Treasure has been chased for hundreds of years, setting off countless killings in the martial arts. And this time, it was directly reported that the location of the treasure was buried, how could it not be rushed.
In the restaurant, Miao Qing commanded a group of people who found a few third-class people from nowhere. Since Yin Sheng and Su Ruoyao left, she was deeply angry at their injustice. After leaving home, he did whatever he wanted, until here and now.
Just as she was about to put a bowl of liquor into her throat, a few people outside walked in noisily, and her minions didn't seem to be able to stop her.
Miao Qingping squinted at the person who came, turned around silently, and prepared to leave. But the people who came had already seen her and shouted, "Sister of the Miao family, stay." ”
Miao Qingping looked behind her head and said, "What's your name, do I know you very well?"
As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged woman walked in and stared at Miao Qingping. Miao Qingping was very uncomfortable with her glance, if it was someone else, she would definitely have spoken out.
Miao Qingping saluted respectfully and said, "The junior Miao Qingping has seen Lady Ran. ”
Ran Zhu nodded and said, "No need to be polite." Then the conversation changed and said: "How can you be with these indiscriminate people, I am afraid that you will insult the prestige of Miao Daxia." ”
Miao Qingping felt that her scalp was numb, not only did she get tired of dealing with Peng Yao's entanglement, but she didn't like Ran Zhu's temper much. A family like her family always has a lot of personal contacts, and a big gang like the Four Seas Gang is undoubtedly a friend who often comes and goes.
Miao Qingping didn't have time to defend herself, and Fu Pengyao on the side said: "Mother, my sister is just playful, and it doesn't hurt." ”
Ran Zhu sat down and said, "What are you doing here, didn't Ling Zun Miao Daxia come?"
Miao Qingping said: "My father and the four senior brothers have other important matters, so they didn't come." ”
Ran Zhu said: "Didn't he know about the treasure in Yuelongtan?"
Miao Qingping said: "That's not necessarily, it's just that my father is not short of money and wealth, and he doesn't have any heirs to inherit wealth, so I'm afraid he has no interest in this treasure." ”
Ran Zhu felt that this was not very good, but she didn't expect Miao Qingping to say it was still a euphemism. She originally wanted to say that she had no interest in treasure, but saying this would inevitably embarrass Ran Zhu, who was obviously here for the treasure.
