It was rainy, and Yan Lin, the former emperor, was in the mist, frowning. In three days, it will be the Hundred Flowers Festival, and the flowers all over the city will stubbornly bulge their buds in the rain, just waiting for the gorgeous bloom after three days.

The elders and disciples of various sects and sects also gradually gathered in Yanlin City, and this year's Hundred Flowers Festival was particularly powerful, and this was the first time in the past seven or eight years.

The drunks roaming the streets began to become cautious, and on weekdays they were very drunk, but for a while, everyone had to stay a little sober. When Bao Buqi made a mistake, he collided with a big man.

In the past few days, Luyue Academy has been suspended, and the huge academy has been cold and clean, and the teachers and heads of the academy who are used to people coming and going, and laughter and laughter are not used to it.

And at this moment, a majestic aura was emanating from Uncle Tai's tired room. If ordinary people walk into this aura, I am afraid that within a moment, they will be out of breath.

Let's say that in Uncle Tai's tired room, there are seven people sitting around. These seven people are Uncle Tai, Zhao Juejiang, Master Hui Zheng, a middle-aged lady with a cold temperament, a purple-clothed Taoist, and a big man with a hooked nose with a gloomy face. These three people are also the Jiang Palace Master of Fei'e Palace, the famous Fei'e Palace Master in the Northland, the Lord of the Pleated Guanyu, and the Lord of Tan Feng of Jiuyang Peak. In addition to these six people, there was also a man standing two feet away from the crowd, he was always smiling, and his face was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Since the Sword Ruins, this court has mobilized all the forces dormant in Beimang, but it has not found the slightest trace of Yafei Dao. Uncle Taiti frowned.

Zhao Juejiang heard this: "The identity of the person who robbed Yafei Dao from Shaolin Temple can be found?"

Uncle Tai shook his head tiredly and said: "Beimang is so big, Ya Feidao and that person are both top masters, if the two of them want to hide and not be found, it is too easy." ”

"Hmph, in my opinion, this matter has to be dealt with from the ruins! Catch that traitor, I don't understand anything. ”

Zhao Juejiang looked coldly at the gloomy man who had just spoken and said, "Oh." Lord Tan Feng, are you questioning the old sword master's decision with these words, or are you dissatisfied with your actions?"

Lord Tan Feng laughed twice when he heard this, and said lightly: "The old sword master and the Zhao sword master are both ancestors in the upper ranks of the rivers and lakes, how dare the younger generation question the two. It's just a matter of facts. ”

At this time, the Lord of the Pleated View smiled and said: "It's better for you to be calm, you must not be in a hurry, if you are in a hurry, you will not understand things." ”

The abbot of Hui Zheng clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, what the Lord said is reasonable. Let's go through this from beginning to end, and maybe we can find some clues. ”

Uncle Tai said tiredly: "This matter, it is still the abbot of Hui Zheng who knows best. ”

The abbot of Hui Zheng shook his head with a smile and said: "It's not clear, it's just that Shaolin was at the hands of Lao Gu twice in a row, and it's also ashamed." The abbot of Hui Zheng sighed with a smile and continued: "Twenty years ago, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of this temple was robbed, and a mysterious master relied on the combination of the inside and the outside to steal a batch of scriptures from the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. ”

All the people had heard of it, and they were not surprised.

Hui Zheng continued: "The old man thinks that the mysterious master is the mastermind behind the robbery of Yafei Dao and the planning of the Mo family's tragedy. ”

Hearing this, Lord Tan Feng spoke: "Master Abbot, you have fought against that mysterious master twice, do you know what sect and sect his martial arts path comes from?"

Hui Zheng thought about it for a while: "The first time I met, that mysterious master had several martial arts, and he was extremely skilled in all of them. In the second fight, that person used the stunt of my temple's non-transmission and the Divine Fist Gang, and the old man was even more confused about his identity. ”

Suddenly, Lord Tan Feng knocked on the table next to him and shouted in a rough voice: "Damn, the Divine Fist Gang! This is a major matter related to the survival of the rivers and lakes, the Divine Fist Gang, as the top ten major factions in the rivers and lakes, no one has come to participate, I think, maybe they made this matter! There is also the tenth ranked back knife gate, and I have not seen any trace of them." According to me, if you go directly to the mountain gate of these two families to ask for the guilt, you will definitely be arrested and one will be arrested!"

The cold lady glanced at Lord Tan Feng and scolded softly: "Lord Tan Feng, you are also the master of a faction now, and you really can't change your hot temper and foul language." You Jiuyang Peak and the Divine Fist Gang have Liangzi, everyone in the world knows, this is not the place for you to vent your personal anger. With that, she glanced at Lord Tan Feng again.

When Lord Tan Feng heard Palace Lord Jiang reprimand, there was a hint of brightness on his face, and he smiled: "Isn't it difficult for me to change my nature, Palace Lord Jiang has to be more patient with me, a rough person." ”

At this time, Uncle Tai was tired of seeing this and said: "The Divine Fist Gang has always acted in the rivers and lakes to protect themselves, and it is not unusual for them not to come to Yanlin. Moreover, the Divine Fist Gang is different from other sects, and his family's martial arts can be practiced from the gang to the elders, and it is not unusual for them to be spread outside. And Xu Jianke's style of acting has always been a maverick, when did Lord Tan Feng see him meddling in the affairs of the rivers and lakes?"

Lord Tan Feng smiled and said, "I'm just guessing." ”

Zhao Juejiang glanced at him with disdain and then spoke: "That mysterious master went to great lengths to rescue Yafei Dao, and did everything possible to destroy my mountain and river giant sword, do you know why?"

The abbot of Hui Zheng said slowly: "Back then, Yafei Dao established the Ancient Worship Sect and stirred up the bloody storm in the Great Song River and Lake, and its purpose was to destroy the giant sword of mountains and rivers, so as to take advantage of the turmoil of heaven and earth to call out the heavens and the sky, so as to step into the immortal gate. However, seventy years ago, when the Great Song Dynasty was at its peak and the rivers and lakes were booming, the tooth was not as good as it was. I want to come to today's mysterious master to rescue Yafei Dao and destroy the giant sword of mountains and rivers, also for the ethereal sky. ”

Zhao Juejiang shook his head when he heard this: "I don't think so, the meaning of the tooth is not the way of the day. Today's mysterious master is not like this. The mysterious master would not have spent so much trouble for the ethereal sky, and on the day the mountain and river giant sword collapsed, there was no sky. If that mysterious master really came for Tianque, he would definitely cause a bigger bloody storm on the rivers and lakes after the collapse of the giant sword of mountains and rivers, so as to stir up luck and summon Tianque. But these days, the rivers and lakes are calm like water, and you are all looking at it. ”

Uncle Tai frowned and said, "Then according to what Sword Master Zhao saw, what does the mysterious master want?"

Zhao Juejiang said lightly: "Collapse mountains and rivers, pull the last trace of luck that involves the Great Song Dynasty." In my opinion, this is the true purpose of the mysterious master. ”

When the Lord heard this, he said: "In this case, the person who tried his best to push the Great Song Dynasty must be a person from the Liao Kingdom?"

Zhao Juejiang nodded and said: "Nine times out of ten, this is the case, I'm afraid that even the teeth are not Dao, they are all chess pieces in that person's hands." ”

Although everyone had already guessed that the mysterious master was from the Liao Kingdom, they couldn't help but be shocked when they heard Zhao Juejiang say it at this time.

"If he is from the Liao Kingdom, then he has destroyed the mountain and river giant sword now, and I am afraid that he would have sneaked back to the Liao Kingdom a long time ago. Uncle Tai was tired of listening and couldn't help but worry.

Zhao Juejiang smiled and said nothing, and then the man standing next to the door stepped forward and smiled: "You have already raised eyebrows about the matter that you asked my family to investigate." ”

Uncle Tai smiled with shame and said, "I neglected Governor Zhao, I hope you will forgive me." ”

The man clasped his fists and smiled: "Uncle Dean's words are very frustrating, I, Zhao Yunji, have received a lot of favor from the dean, so what's the harm in standing for two or three hours." ”

Hearing this, Uncle Tai couldn't help but sigh that Zhao Yunji's words were smooth, and his words made him owe him a favor, "Investigating this matter, it's really troublesome for Lord Zhang." ”

Zhao Yunji smiled and said: "Uncle Tai is serious, in the thirty-six states of Beimang, there is nothing to do, it is troublesome for the adults of my family." ”

Now that he has a request for help, Uncle Tai is tired of such a giant, and he has to pay a little smile to Zhao Yunji's little governor. After the two chatted a few more words, Zhao Yunji got down to business: "After being ascertained by my family, for a while, the Liao State had no intention of sending troops south. ”

After hearing this, Lord Tan Feng said coldly: "After talking for a long time, that person is not a Liao person. ”

Uncle Tai tired and a few people also felt this way in their hearts, if the mysterious master was really a Liao, now that the giant sword of mountains and rivers has collapsed, and the Great Song Dynasty has caused natural and man-made disasters, it is a good time for them to send troops. But at this time, the Liao State had no intention of sending troops......

"Governor Zhao, is Lord Zhang's news true?" Uncle Tai couldn't help but ask.

At this time, Zhao Yunji's face showed a rare trace of displeasure and said: "Naturally, it is true. My lord is not the governor of the Liao State, nor the governor of the Song State, but the governor of the thirty-six prefectures of Beimang. If you think that my family will unite with the Liao Kingdom to disturb your hearing and hearing, then there is nothing to say below. ”

"Governor Zhao is not strange. ”

"Let's talk first, and then we will take our leave. Zhao Yunji said that, and left the house with a wave of his sleeves.

After he left, Uncle Tai sighed tiredly: "Looking for a needle in a haystack again..."

And Zhao Juejiang suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, good, as I expected." That thief is a man from the Liao Kingdom, and now he is still in the people of the thirty-six states of Beimang!"

Zhao Juejiang's words were tantamount to breaking the earth, and the abbot said: "I don't know how sure the Zhao Sword Master is, he said this?"

Zhao Juejiang did not answer Abbot Hui Zheng's question, but asked rhetorically: "Abbot Hui Zheng, let me ask you, when you fought that mysterious master for the first time, what kind of martial arts did he use?"

Although the abbot of Hui Zheng didn't know what Zhao Juejiang meant, he still talked about the martial arts used by the mysterious master when he fought with him that day. Every time he said the same thing, the doubts in the hearts of the people became even greater.

The abbot of Hui Tribulation said thirteen martial arts in a row, some of these thirteen martial arts are extremely ordinary kung fu, and some are the secrets of some major sects.

Zhao Juejiang listened and said: "If he is a Liao person, he can't use so many martial arts to spread suspicions and hide his identity. ”

Lord Tan Feng said a little impatiently: "Senior Zhao, it was you who said that person was from Liao, and it was you who said no, according to what you have seen, could it be that he is not human?"

Zhao Juejiang sneered after hearing this: "Who said that he is not a Liao person? I just said that he is not an ordinary Liao person. Maybe you and I know that person, but we just don't know his true identity. ”

Uncle Tai was shocked when he heard this: "What does Sword Master Zhao mean is that the mysterious master was originally a Liao person, but in order to act in the Great Song Dynasty rivers and lakes, he made a Han identity?"

Zhao Juejiang nodded and said, "Yes, with so many Central Plains martial arts, that person must be an extremely powerful figure in the rivers and lakes." Otherwise, an ordinary person would not have been able to come into contact with the secrets of so many sects. And it was precisely because the mysterious man was in a high position in the Beimang rivers and lakes that he also saw that although the luck of the Great Song Dynasty was broken, the Beimang rivers and lakes were unprecedentedly united. If the Liao State sends troops south at this time, I wonder if he will be overwhelmed, or will it be difficult to move an inch?"

Listening to Zhao Juejiang's words, everyone was reasonable.

At this time, the cold lady asked softly, "Does Sword Master Zhao have an eyebrow about that person's identity?"

Zhao Juejiang smiled and said: "Among the thirteen martial arts mentioned by the abbot of Hui Zheng just now, seven of them are not circulated in the rivers and lakes. But there are three kinds of ...... hidden in the small river pavilion of your Fei'e Palace."

Before Zhao Juejiang's words fell, he heard Lord Tan Feng shouting angrily: "Old man Zhao, I respect you as a senior in the rivers and lakes, but don't spew blood here!"

Zhao Juejiang said without shock: "And in the Burning Sun Peak of Jiuyang Peak, there are four kinds of hidden ones. ”

Lord Tan Feng's expression froze when he heard this, and Palace Lord Jiang glared at him and said, "What are you angry about, listen to Lord Zhao Jian finish speaking." ”

Zhao Juejiang continued: "Although there are not many pleated views, there are two kinds. And there are even more of my sword ruins, Shaolin and Luyue Academy, all of which are more than five. ”

When Zhao Juejiang said this, everyone understood what he meant.

Uncle Tai said lightly: "Zhao Jian's words are reasonable, we are always looking for people on the rivers and lakes, but we forget to examine ourselves. A few days ago, I just went to the library building, and the martial arts mentioned by the abbot of Hui Zheng are all well preserved, which does not rule out that it was done by someone in my Luyue Academy. Before the Hundred Flowers Festival, this hospital must find out about Luyue Academy, and my uncle should be the first to bear the brunt. ”

Listening to Uncle Tai's tired expression, the rest of the people echoed it. claimed to clear their own door first, but there was also a sense of danger in everyone's hearts.

Lord Tan Feng looked at Zhao Juejiang with a little more jealousy in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Sword Master Zhao, how can you know so well about the collection of books in my sect?"

Zhao Juejiang smiled slightly, and said proudly: "This sword master has lived for more than two hundred years, how many things can be hidden from the eyes of this sword master?"

Lord Tan Feng was stunned when he heard this, and he actually had a creepy feeling when he landed, "This old thing, you can't offend." ”

After saying that, everyone dispersed from the uncle's tired house one after another. For the convenience of their work, they have all been living in Luyue Academy for the past few days.

When Zhao Juejiang and Abbot Hui Zheng were walking side by side on the road, they saw a little boy building a bamboo shed for a few orchids growing in the clearing.

Zhao Juejiang looked interesting, so he said, "Xiao'er, what are you doing?"

Xiao Tong looked back and saw that it was the two old men, so he said respectfully: "Hello two grandfathers, I am giving the orchid an umbrella again." ”

Hui Zheng smiled and said: "Flowers and plants like water, and the little donor gives orchids an umbrella, won't it cut off their way of life?"

The little boy grinned and said: "Grandpa monk, you are wrong, this orchid is delicate, you must not water too much, it has been raining for the past few days, you see, this flower is about to be drowned." ”

Hui Zheng saw that this was indeed the case, and the few orchids on the ground were really sluggish, "Thank you for the teachings of the little benefactor, the poor monk knows that he is wrong." ”

Xiao Tong smiled: "What's wrong with this? People always have too many things they don't understand. Grandpa monk, don't look at me small, but I also know what you don't know. And the monk grandfather is not to mention, you are older than me, and you know more things than me. ”

Hui Zheng smiled and bowed his head, he saw that this little boy was aura, and he had a wisdom root.

And Zhao Juejiang has been silent, he looked at Xiao Tong's eyes, and secretly said in his heart: "What a sword training embryo!"

"Xiao'er, I see how much understanding you have, how about being a closed disciple for me?" As soon as Zhao Juejiang said this, the abbot of Hui Zheng was shocked. What kind of identity is Zhao Juejiang now, the person in charge of the Sword Ruins, and one of the top predecessors in today's rivers and lakes. If it was really calculated, he would have to call Zhao Juejiang Uncle Sword Ruin. Unexpectedly, he would treat this child so differently.

Xiao Tong smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry grandpa, I have a master now." ”

Zhao Juejiang heard this: "If you use your talent to practice swords in Luyue Academy, it can only be said to be a tyrannical thing. Practice with me for twenty years, and ensure that you are the second sword god Li Minji. ”

Xiao Tong scratched his head and said, "Then you have to ask me if my master agrees." ”

Zhao Juejiang smiled when he heard this: "You tell me who your master is, and I'll tell him." ”

Xiao Tong pointed to the lush bamboo forest in the west and said, "Where is my master sleeping now?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Juejiang and Abbot Hui Zheng looked at each other.

"Don't lie, is your master my master?"

Xiao Tong looked at Zhao Juejiang and nodded, his face was innocent, without a trace of hypocrisy.

Zhao Juejiang blushed suddenly, and he said to Xiao Tong: "The younger generation is offended, and I will forgive my uncle." ”

Xiao Tong shook his head and said: "I can't help but go when the people in the courtyard call me Uncle Xiao, and you call me that too, Grandpa, I really can't afford it." ”

Suddenly, a cold man's voice came: "Bear it, what can't you bear." A few people turned their heads to look, only to see a white-clothed scholar slowly walking towards this place from the depths of the hazy smoke and rain.

Zhao Juejiang and Hui Zheng trembled, and when they were about to bow down, an invisible big hand held the two up.

Zhao Juejiang lowered his head and said: "The student doesn't know that the little uncle is a disciple of my master, and he is offended, and he hopes that my master will punish him." ”

My master smiled and said, "It's me, the bad man, who should be punished." Just now I said that he will bear it, and it will be you who will be your apprentice and bear the ground. ”

Zhao Juejiang was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and Xiao Tong looked at my master and said, "Master, do I really want to be an apprentice to this grandfather?"

My teacher looked at the boy and said, "What, don't you want to?"

Xiao Tong lowered his head and said, "Will that little bean still be Master's apprentice in the future?"

My master smiled and said, "Naturally, you will be the two disciples of me and Jianxu in the future, I wonder if Sword Master Zhao is willing?"

Zhao Juejiang looked at the beautiful scholar in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "This is the opportunity given by my teacher to the student, how can the student not want to." ”

My teacher smiled, took Xiao Tong's hand and said, "Let's go, it's time to play the piano." ”

The boy muttered: "Master lied, obviously said that it is better than not having to play the piano during the Hundred Flowers Festival......"

Sound and shadow gradually sink into the misty smoke and rain.

Hui Zai smiled and said, "Master Zhao, this is a chance!"

Zhao Juejiang sighed: "Yes, it's a chance......"

Suddenly, Zhao Juejiang didn't know what he thought, he looked at the orchid under the bamboo shed and said, "Look, the orchid is about to bloom." ”

When the abbot of Hui Zheng heard this, he also said with deep meaning: "Yes, the orchids of the academy are about to bloom." ”
