It has been half a year since the Great War, and in front of Wanfu Villa, the traces left by the Great War have been submerged by the fallen leaves all over the ground. In the past six months, the rivers and lakes have become extremely calm, and there is no major event in the Wanshi Building for tea customers to comment on.

Wanshilou is a restaurant, but it is also the largest information distribution center on the rivers and lakes. Here, you can get information on rivers and lakes all over the country. Some of this information is free, but most of them come at a cost, and the specific cost is naturally determined by the person providing the information. Of course, most information providers are primarily for money. Also, if you need someone to do something, you can also post a bounty here. There are three floors in the building: the first floor is a restaurant, where the reward orders for less than 5,000 taels of silver are issued, the second floor is the tea house, where the reward orders for more than 5,000 taels of silver are issued, and the third floor is where the owner of the building is located, and only when the owner thinks that he is an important guest, he will be invited here. There are many people who gather here all year round, of course, their purpose is not to come here to drink wine and tea. Some of them are people who specialize in providing information, some are people who need information, some are specialized in receiving bounty orders, some are people who need to find someone to do something, and some are not the people who are not in the previous categories.

The calm rivers and lakes are not a good thing for Wanshilou. Because the more turbulent the rivers and lakes are, the more people want to get information, and the more people want to find someone to do things, the better the business of Wanshilou will be. But now, it's clearly a bit deserted. Usually when there are a lot of people, it is usually full of people, and even if the person next to you is talking, if you don't listen carefully, it will be difficult to distinguish his voice from the various noises. But today, the two people who were sitting in a corner against the wall without speaking loudly spoke as if they could be heard in the whole teahouse.

One of the two was a scholar dressed as a scholar, with a thin face, wearing a wide robe, sitting upright on one side, and the other was a big man, with short hair and long beard, a big face and small eyes, dressed very casually, with his chest open, with one foot on a stool, sitting face to face with the scholar, and next to him was a large knife leaning against the foot of the table, which should be his weapon.

I only heard the big man say: "Damn, I've been here for five days, and I haven't received a single job, so if I continue like this, won't I be starved to death!"

The scholar said: "Today's rivers and lakes are too calm, and there is no way to do it." ”

Dahan said: "It's not just calm, I don't even let out a fart!"

The scholar said: "Yes, since the battle between Wanfu Villa and the Eight Great Sects, there has never been a decent major event on the rivers and lakes. ”

Dahan said: "What is the origin of Long Shaotian of Wanfu Villa, someone actually gave him ten thousand taels of gold!"

The scholar said: "Regarding Long Shaotian's origin, it is still a mystery. I only know that ten years ago, he was famous in the rivers and lakes, and he did a lot of sensational martial arts events, and he was only seventeen or eighteen years old at that time. ”

Dahan said: "Damn, there is such a powerful person! Then how did he offend the Eight Great Sects?"

The scholar said: "It is said that Long Shaotian wants to destroy all sects and dominate the martial arts!"

Dahan slapped the table and roared, "This Long Shaotian is too arrogant!"

The scholar smiled: "Brother Biao is not excited, this is just a rumor, and it has not been confirmed." There are also rumors that he colluded with the Demon Sect and wanted to be the enemy of decency! Brother Biao, aren't you worried about having nothing to do, go and find out that Long Shaotian, that's a bounty of 10,000 taels!"

Dahan said: "I don't know how many people in the world want to find him, it is said that there are still people from the eight major factions, which is my turn!"

The scholar said: "Brother Biao's words are wrong, you don't necessarily need good martial arts to find someone, sometimes you need luck, maybe this luck will fall on you, Brother Biao?"

Dahan said: "Even if you say so, I won't be moved. That Long Shaotian fought with the Eight Great Factions, and his life and death were unknown. If he is dead, it would be a waste of my strength to let me find a dead man!"

The scholar said: "Ai~~, since someone is willing to spend so much bounty to find him, he must not be dead." ”

Dahan said: "That's not necessarily, maybe someone just wants to make a joke and deliberately take a dead person for everyone to find, anyway, if you can't find him, you don't have to pay for it!

The scholar smiled again: "You guy, you look very arrogant, but you have a lot of eyes!"

Dahan said: "How can we do this business with many hearts!"

The two were chatting energetically, when a handsome young man sitting across a table from them suddenly jumped up, pointed at the big man and scolded: "You bearded, who did you say died?

When the big man heard this, he smashed a bowl of wine on the table, the bowl was not broken, but the wine spilled on the table, and said angrily: "You were scolding me just now?"

The guy said: "Who else is scolding you instead of scolding?"

The big man pulled out the big knife, pointed at the guy and said angrily: "Do you know who Uncle Lu Dao is? No one has dared to talk to me like this "Serial Knife Tyrant"!"

The young man sneered and said, "I've never heard of any 'serial knife tyrants'! If you have the ability, let the horse come over, and don't scare people there!"

Dahan said: "You ......! Okay, I'll let you see the power of my serial knife today!"

"Brother Biao, wait first!" When the big man was about to make a move, he was stopped by Ma Shusheng.

Dahan was suddenly stopped by someone, naturally very unhappy, glared at the scholar angrily, and said, "Brother Ping, what do you mean by this?"

The scholar said: "Why should Brother Biao be angry with a girl for this little thing. Don't forget, this is Wanshi Building, if you offend the owner of Wanshi Building by making trouble here, maybe you will lose your job in the future!"

The big man thought for a moment and said, "You mean that the guy is dressed as a girl?"

The scholar said: "Brother Biao, can't you see this?"

Dahan said: "Take a closer look. Okay, I'm not going to bother with her today!"

On the other side, the young man dressed as a man refused to give up, and said, "Bearded, are you scared? If you are afraid, kowtow to me three times, and then apologize to me, and I will let you go!"

Dahan said: "You ......!"

The scholar hurriedly made a gesture to Dahan to calm down, and Dahan was helpless, sat down with a slam of his ass, poured himself a bowl of wine, and drank it. He didn't have a seizure, not because the other party was a little girl, but because he was the owner of the Taboo Wanshi Building. The owner of Wanshilou is also said to be an unfathomable figure in martial arts, otherwise, it may not be easy to support such a restaurant.

The guy who was dressed as a man over there saw the angry look of the big man, and he was snickering happily. Next to her sat another young man, who also looked to be dressed as a man.

The young man said to the young man: "Xiaoling, forget it, don't make a big fuss, don't forget the purpose of our here!"

It turned out that this guy was actually Xiaoling's girl, and the young man was dressed as Chunxiang. The purpose of their coming here was naturally to inquire about Long Shaotian's whereabouts, and the high reward order for finding Long Shaotian was also issued by them.

Xiao Ling said: "How can you just forget it? You also heard it, how ugly that bearded man is, if I don't teach him a lesson, it will be really difficult to dispel the evil anger in my heart!"

After Dahan sat down again in anger, he had been drinking there and didn't pay much attention to it. But the word "lesson" was clearly heard by him, and he immediately jumped up again, and said angrily: "Who do you little thing say you want to teach a lesson?"

Xiao Ling did not admit defeat in terms of momentum, and shouted: "Who is the little thing talking about!"

Dahan said: "The little thing said you!"

After Dahan said this, he saw Xiao Ling covering her mouth and smiling, and immediately understood that she had fallen for that little girl. He looked around and saw that there were other people laughing, and he was ashamed. In a fit of rage, he drew his big knife again, jumped over a table, and slashed at Xiao Ling!

It was too late for the scholar to stop it.

Seeing Dahan slashing violently, Xiao Ling did not panic. With just a slight jump, he flashed the big man's knife. It's just that the table they were sitting on was split in half, and broken pieces of wine were scattered all over the floor, and Haruka had to flash aside. Dahan didn't hit with a knife, and swept over with a backhand. Xiao Ling bent and dodged again. In the following time, it was completely Dahan who was attacking alone, only to see him fire more than a dozen knives one after another, and after each knife, the next knife slashed without any gaps, which was really like his so-called 'serial knife'.

Even so, Xiaoling is not as weak as he thinks. Her petite body danced lightly in the light of the big man's sword, and the big man didn't even touch her hair after cutting it for a long time, so angry that the big man screamed.

After Xiao Ling jumped out two feet to avoid Dahan's knife, Dahan raised his anger and shouted and slashed at her again!

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed out, standing between Xiaoling and Dahan, and Dahan's knife happened to slash at the man's head. However, instead of striking the man's head, the man's knife got stuck between the man's two fingers. To be exact, it was pinched by the man with two fingers!

The person who came was a gentle and elegant middle-aged man, but his eyes released great majesty, and the big man he stared at was creepy.

The big man was so weak that he wanted to withdraw the knife, but the knife seemed to be stuck to the man's hand, and no matter how hard he tried, it was useless. He used his other hand to hold the hilt of the knife again, and used all the strength of the milk, but he still couldn't shake half a minute.

A crisp sound came from between the knives, and the big knife broke in two.

The half of the big knife held by the big man was still held in the air, his mouth was wide open, and a pair of eyes of disbelief stared at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man spoke: "Do you know the rules of the Wanshi Building?" He spoke very slowly, and every word contained this majesty.

The big man's forehead was already sweating, and he replied, "Slightly...... Have a smattering of. ”

The middle-aged man said again: "Then do you know that it is forbidden to fight and brawl in the Wanshi Building?"

Dahan said: "Know...... Zhilu Dao. ”

The middle-aged man said: "That's knowingly?"

The big man hurriedly threw away the half-handled knife in his hand, clenched his fists and said: "It's just an impulse in the next place, and I hope that the owner of the building will forgive the sin! I promise, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future!" It turned out that this middle-aged man was the owner of Wanshi Building.

The landlord said: "There is still a future, get out of me!"

The landlord's voice was not loud, but the big man was already trembling with fright, and he fled in the wilderness, not even daring to turn his head back.

After the big man fled, Xiao Ling pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "Hey, why did you let him go? I haven't finished teaching him a lesson!"

Chunxiang was afraid that Xiao Ling would anger the middle-aged man, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Xiao Ling, you have to be rude!"

The landlord smiled and said, "It's out of the way." "It's completely different from the attitude towards the big man just now.

The landlord said again: "The two must be the people who are looking for Long Shaotian, right?"

Haruka said: "Exactly!"

The landlord said: "Those two come with me, it's inconvenient to talk here." ”

Haruka scanned around and saw that there were really a few pairs of eyes staring at them.

The landlord led Chunxiang and Xiaoling to the third floor, and then said: "The two of you are really embarrassed, and you have to bother the two of you to climb upstairs. ”

Chunxiang said: "Where, it is said that the third floor of this Wanshi Building is not just anyone can come, and it is our honor for the two of us to be invited by the landlord to come here today." ”

The landlord said: "The girl is too modest, I won't say much about the polite words, I called you here to say something about Long Shaotian." ”

When Chunxiang heard this, she said eagerly, "Do you know where he is?"

The landlord said: "That's not it, it's just that we got some news about him." ”

Haruka asked, "What's the news?"

The landlord said: "Long Shaotian was imprisoned by the Eight Great Sects!"

Haruka was taken aback and said, "How could it be!

The landlord said: "Is it impossible? Then do you know why Dao Long Shaotian wants to be the enemy of the Eight Great Factions?"

Chunxiang looked melancholy and said, "Naturally, I know the way." ”

The landlord said: "That's right, he is here to protect the other people of Wanfu Villa! However, after that battle, he obviously knew that it was impossible for him to deal with the Eight Great Factions alone, so he sacrificed himself to protect Wanfu Villa!"

Chunxiang said: "The young master is not such a person who is willing to accept defeat easily, even if he wants to protect the villa, he will not use this way." ”

The landlord said: "Then let me ask you, have the people of the Eight Great Sects ever harassed Wanfu Villa in the past six months?"

Haruka said: "That's not it." ”

The landlord said: "Isn't this right, the person that the Eight Great Factions really want to deal with is Long Shaotian, if he is not in Wanfu Villa, won't the people of the Eight Great Factions go to Wang Fu Villa for trouble?"

Chunxiang said: "That doesn't mean that the young master is imprisoned by the Eight Great Factions!"

The landlord said: "Then let's assume that Long Shaotian is not imprisoned by the Eight Greats, and the people of the Eight Great Sects will definitely be quite afraid of Long Shaotian's disappearance, because if the enemy hides in the shadows, it will make them unable to guard against it." Therefore, at this time, they were eager for Long Shaotian to appear. If it were me, the best way to want Long Shaotian to show up was to attack the people around him, and the people of the Eight Great Sects were not stupid, so they could naturally think of this! But you also said just now that you have not been attacked by the people of the Eight Great Factions in the past six months, so the above assumptions are not valid. ”

Chunxiang said: "But the people of the Eight Great Sects are also looking for the young master. ”

The landlord said: "That's just a cover-up, think about it, Long Shaotian disappeared after the Eight Great Factions attacked Wanfu Villa, and now I don't know how many people are looking for Long Shaotian on the rivers and lakes, if the people of the Eight Great Factions don't make the illusion that they are also looking for Long Shaotian, someone will definitely count Long Shaotian's disappearance on the head of the Eight Great Factions." If this is the case, those who are looking for Long Shaotian will definitely go to trouble the Eight Great Factions, and the Eight Great Factions will not be able to live a stable life in the future. ”

Chunxiang said: "According to what the landlord said, the young master must have been imprisoned by the people of the Eight Great Sects?"

The landlord said: "Definitely not sure, I have always had to ensure the accuracy of the news, so I never dared to guarantee the guests without conclusive evidence, but a few days after that battle, someone saw Long Shaotian go to Shaolin." ”

Chunxiang fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "Thank you for providing such news, we will leave today, if he finds the young master, he will come to thank the landlord again." ”

The landlord said: "The girl is polite, it is my duty to provide information to the guests, and I hope that the two of you can find Long Shaotian as soon as possible." ”

Chunxiang said, "Thank you!" and then said to Xiaoling: "Xiaoling, let's go." ”

After the two of them came out of the Wanshi Building, they went out of the city directly. Naturally, they were going to Shaolin, and no matter how reliable the information provided by Wanshilou was, they had to go to Shaolin because it was their only clue.

On the way, Xiao Ling said with some worry: "Sister Chunxiang, what if the young master is really captured by them, and they refuse to admit it?"

Chunxiang said: "Let's go and see first, it's hard to say whether this news is reliable or not now, I still don't believe that the young master will do that." But we still have to figure it out, no matter what method we use!"

Xiao Ling said, "Hmm." ”

Suddenly, Chunxiang's expression suddenly became very solemn, and she said to Xiaoling, "Be careful, there are people in the forest!"

Haruka shouted at the forest: "What kind of person, don't come out soon!"

Lin Zi immediately flew out of the four people and surrounded the two girls.

Chunxiang said: "Who are you!"

The person standing in front of the two girls arched his hand and said: "We are just nameless rats on the rivers and lakes, and the name is not worth mentioning." However, there is no ill will towards the two of them today, I just want to ask the two of them for some news, and after inquiring, I will leave. ”

Xiao Ling said: "Since you are just asking for news, do you still need to cover your face?"

The man said: "There is no way, for some reason, we don't want the two of us to tell us who we are. ”

Chunxiang said: "Then what news do you want to inquire about?"

The man said: "Long Shaotian's whereabouts!"

Chunxiang said: "Why are you looking for him?"

The man said: "I have no grievances with him, and I am naturally looking for him for that high bounty!"

Chunxiang said: "Do you know who we are?"

The man said, "Nature knows the way." ”

Chunxiang said: "Since you know Lu Dao, do you think we will tell you if we know where Lu Dao is?"

The man said, "Yes!"

Chunxiang said: "How can you see it?"

The man said, "Because you want to find Long Shaotian more than I do!"

Chunxiang said: "You're right, but unfortunately, we also want to know where Lu Dao is!"

The man said, "Wanshi Lou Zhu didn't tell you anything?"

Chunxiang said: "Yes, but I'm afraid you will be disappointed when you hear this news." ”

The man said: "Then you have to listen to it to know the truth!"

Xiao Ling couldn't stand his attitude, and shouted, "What can you do if you don't say it?"

The man said: "People die for money, birds die for food, if the two of you refuse to say, then we know that Lu Dao has used some means." ”

As soon as she heard that she was threatened, Xiao Ling immediately became angry, and she was about to kill her with her sword, and at the same time said, "Then I want to see what tricks you can play!"

Chunxiang grabbed her and said, "Xiaoling, forget it, our purpose is to find the young master, and it doesn't hurt to tell them." ”

The man said: "This girl is still reasonable, don't worry, if we find Long Shaotian, we will definitely report to the two of you as soon as possible!"

Chunxiang said: "That's the best, the owner of Wanshilou told us, he is imprisoned in Shaolin, and we are about to go now." ”

The man thought for a moment, and said to himself, "It seems that this news is true?" and then said to Chunxiang: "Thank you girl for telling me and saying goodbye!" The four of them disappeared in a flash.

Xiao Ling said: "Sister Chunxiang, let's go quickly, don't let them take the lead!"

Haruka said, "Hmm." ”

The two rode their horses and galloped towards Shaolin.
