Chapter 187: Gone

Ruoxian shook his head, his phoenix eyes were thin, he swept over the shopkeeper, the soft sword in his hand was a little forward, three inches below the man's throat, and said sharply: "You have always been active in Shandong, how can you appear in this Hebei territory today? Hurry up and recruit from the truth, otherwise be careful of your head!" After speaking, the three-foot soft sword was deliberately dangled in front of him.

The shopkeeper trembled, but when he saw that the other party's long sword reached his throat, emitting a terrifying silver light, he only needed a slight stab, and his blood was immediately splashed on the spot, and he was immediately frightened, and stammered: "Female...... The heroine spares her life, little ...... Small...... Don't dare to hide it. ”

According to what the shopkeeper said, Hu Tiancai was originally in Binzhou, Shandong, a few years ago, he was reckless and committed a lot of bloody cases on the rivers and lakes, which attracted the righteous heroes on the rivers and lakes to take action, wanting to get rid of him quickly, but the "evil shopkeeper" was ruthless and treacherous, and his martial arts were high, and he still let him break through under the siege of the heroes. Fortunately, there were many heroes in this battle, and there were many masters in the Wuyue Sword Sect, so although he was lucky to break through, he really paid a lot of price.

After Hu Tiancai escaped, he took two apprentices all the way north, bypassing Dezhou and entering the territory of Jinan, after which Hu Tiancai avoided people's eyes and ears, incognito, and committed himself to recuperating in a temple. After his injuries healed, he returned to his old business, coercing the temple to open the temple door by force, attracting passing pilgrims, and then murdering him for money. This time, he didn't do it himself, but gathered the monks in the temple, and then threatened the life of the host, and ordered the monks to help and abuse. Most of the monks in the poor temple are homeless outcasts, and they have to be taken in by the old monks to live to this day.

Fortunately, a strange guest in Tsing Yi suddenly came to the temple later, about fifty, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his momentum was extraordinary. Hu Tiancai's secret trick failed, but he saw through it, and the two fought and fought for a day and a night. In the end, Hu Tiancai was defeated and was injured by the strange man King Kong Finger and left injured. The strange man in Tsing Yi rescued the monks in the temple, and listened to the old monk tell him the ins and outs of the room, and couldn't help but be furious. This chase lasted for three years, during which the two met many times, and the martial arts of the monster in Tsing Yi were slightly higher, but Hu Tiancai was scheming, and he could slip away from him every time. The two went around and around, tossing and turning, and finally a month ago, Hu Tiancai entered the border of Songshan Mountain, Hebei, and wanted to go the opposite way to avoid the stranger in Tsing Yi.

Hebei Songshan martial arts are prosperous, different sects, it stands to reason that Hu Tiancai would never dare to come here to throw himself into the net, but in the past three years, he has been forced by the Tsing Yi monster to be poor in donkey skills, exhausted, in desperation, simply willing to take risks, the opposite, hoping to avoid the Tsing Yi monster. After coming to Songshan, he hid in Yangliu Town under Shaomu Mountain, and after hiding for a few days, he found that the Tsing Yi guest did not chase him, so he asked his subordinates to go out to find a place to stay. After a few people looked around, they found that there was a Ruyi inn in a remote location and sparsely populated, which was in line with Hu Tiancai's intentions. Then he asked his subordinates to pretend to be the guys in the inn and the shopkeepers.

"How can this be reasonable, I can't imagine that there are such wicked people in the world, I really regret that I didn't slap him to death just now" Zhang Wuyi was furious when he learned of these hidden secrets, and with a palm brush, he instantly smashed a stone pillar with the thickness of a bowl.

"The two heroes spare their lives, these are all masters...... No, it's caused by Hu Tiancai's prostitution, I ...... We don't dare to disobey!" shopkeeper buttoned his head again and again, in order to survive.

Ruoxian frowned, thinking, "That's the case, but I'm too careful." "After the Black Wood Cliff incident, the vitality of both the righteous and the demon was greatly damaged, and there were countless casualties. The Xuanyin Sect swept through all sects and factions overnight, causing chaos in the rivers and lakes, and the sinister intentions of the Xuanyin Sect were clearly known. This also made Ruoxian have to pay attention everywhere.

Seeing Ruoxian's strange expression, the shopkeeper didn't say a word, and didn't dare to continue to beg for mercy, only with a white face, stunned.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, as if he remembered something, just before Ruoxian asked him what happened three months ago, he didn't know, but within this month, there was a person who looked like a Confucian scholar, but he didn't know if it was the person the other party asked, the words came to his mouth, and he swallowed back.

Ruoxian glanced at him in contemplation, and saw that he was still hesitating, and he wanted to stop talking, so he immediately shouted: "If there is anything, just say it!"

The shopkeeper was stunned, and then responded: "Yes, yes, the woman is angry, the young man just now asked me about what happened before March, although I don't know, but ...... But I suddenly remembered that at the beginning of this month, a man dressed as a Confucian had been here. As soon as these words came out, Zhang Wuyi and Ruoxian were both stunned, and exclaimed, "Really?"

The shopkeeper was not as exaggerated as the two of them reacted, and was also taken aback, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't dare...... Don't dare to deceive the two ......"

Zhang Wuyi was suspicious and asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

How dare the shopkeeper disobey, and immediately told the scene of the day. At the beginning of the month, Hu Tiancai took them to occupy the Ruyi Inn, thinking that if the inn was suddenly closed, it would arouse suspicion, so he ordered everyone to open the door of the inn and welcome guests as before. This Ruyi Inn is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are not many guests, so naturally no one will suspect it. But at the time of Shen You, a strange man dressed as a Confucian came to the inn, and since he came in, he didn't say a word, and only sat by the window. Seeing this, Hu Tiancai hurriedly ordered the shopkeeper to come forward to greet him, but as soon as he spoke, the man said "huh" lightly, his expression was very puzzled, and then without waiting for the shopkeeper to greet him, he got up and left, and soon disappeared.

Zhang Wuyi thought to himself: "Isn't that person Uncle Zhou? But why is he in a hurry to leave? Could he recognize that evil shopkeeper Hu Tiancai?"

The shopkeeper said abruptly: "That...... The man was seven feet long, with thin eyebrows and long eyes, red phoenix eyes, and two mustaches at the corners of his mouth."

Zhang Wuyi said happily when he heard this: "Uncle Zhou, it's Uncle Zhou." Then he asked, "Has he ever reappeared since then?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment before he said firmly: "Absolutely not!" Wuyi's face gradually sank, and he whispered secretly: "Could it be that Uncle Zhou left?"

Ruoxian saw that Wu Yi was in a hurry, and hurriedly relieved: "Brother Wu Yi, don't worry, maybe this Uncle Zhou in your mouth is still in this Yangliu Town!"

"Then why did he act in a hurry that day and never appear again?" Zhang Wuyi hesitated, Ruoxian smiled slightly, and said softly: "Brother Wuyi, this matter is not difficult to deduce!"

Zhang Wuyi said "Oh?" and looked up at Ruoxian.

Ruoxian glanced back meaningfully and said, "I guess he found out that this Ruyi Inn suddenly changed hands, so he left in a hurry." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Wuyi felt that Ruoxian's guess was not unreasonable, and thought: " I and Uncle Zhou were here before March, when this Ruyi Inn had not been occupied by this group of thieves, and he was naturally the original shopkeeper and his buddy, who knew that I and Xian'er were trapped in the Valley of Absolute Dust, and it was March in a flash, and Uncle Zhou's temperament must not leave me alone, and I should often come here to wait for me during this March, oh, I understand, I think he came here at the beginning of this month, and found that the shopkeeper and the guy have changed to new people, Uncle Zhou has always been cautious, so he left in a hurry. After figuring it out, Zhang Wuyi's heart suddenly brightened, because at least Uncle Zhou and the others were not caught by the people of the Xuanyin Sect, and they had no worries about their lives for the time being, maybe they were hiding somewhere in the town.

"Two great ...... Hero, I'm ...... Can I go?" Seeing that Zhang Wuyi's expression gradually recovered, the anger in his heart recovered slightly, and he immediately seized the opportunity to beg him for mercy. Zhang Wuyi already knew the news of Zhou Changfeng, but also felt that it was useless to keep them, so he drove them all out.

The sunset gradually sank, falling a touch of red, it was evening, the people in front of the Ruyi Inn gradually increased, Ruoxian and Zhang Wuyi hurriedly used some dry food and hot water and then walked out of the Ruyi Inn and walked to another place.

"Brother Wuyi, where are you going to take me?" Zhang Wuyi pulled Ruoxian and walked quickly towards a street in the town. After a while, the two came to an inn again.

Ruoxian was puzzled when he saw it, and turned his face and asked, "Brother Wuyi, are you just going to bring me here?"

Zhang Wuyi smiled awkwardly and said astringently: "Xian'er, I almost forgot a big thing, but fortunately I saw your soft sword during the day, so I remembered." You are here to help me watch the wind, and I will come when I go. As soon as the words fell, I only heard the sound of "ho", and Wu Yi had jumped into the inn along the door wall. With only one cup of tea, Zhang Wuyi went and returned, his eyes full of frustration.

Ruoxian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Wuyi, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Wuyi frowned, but he didn't know where to start, and in a hurry, he only said to Ruoxian: "I...... I have something hidden in this inn, and when I went to look for it, I found it...... Found it gone!"

Ruoxian saw his look of annoyance, and asked, "What is it?"

Zhang Wuyi nodded and said, "It's a sword." ”

Ruoxian suddenly laughed and comforted: "What kind of treasure should I be? It turned out to be a sword, Brother Wuyi, how about I rescue my father and let him give you seventeen or eighteen?"

When Zhang Wuyi heard this, his face became even more distressed, and he sighed: "Xian'er, this is not an ordinary sword, it was given to me by my grandfather when I left the valley. At the moment, he told Ruoxian about the origin and prestige of the Heavenly Sword, and only concealed the origin of Zhang Wucheng and this sword.

Ruoxian was shocked when he heard this, and exclaimed, "Then you just want to use this Heavenly Sword to retrieve the Dragon Slayer Knife this time?"

Zhang Wuyi nodded silently, looking very lonely.
