Chapter 376: Not trivial
After listening to her story, Li Yihang remembered Sun Jianteng, before this benevolent brother had an accident at home, there was always a large group of so-called friends around him, but after he was in trouble, he was extremely cold to him, and he was rejected thousands of miles away, and Sima Mei in front of him was the same, after losing power, he was as cheap as the mud in the ground, and everyone wanted to step on it to be happy. At present, he can be said to be in the limelight, but in the future, if he eats the magic and scatters his magic skills and becomes a mediocre person, maybe everyone will cast a despicable look at him.
He sighed and said, "Shicai, you said that the faction is very chaotic, what's going on?" Sima Mei said: "This matter still has a little to do with me, just because Qi Liren has abandoned me from the beginning, it turned out that he was competing with him for the position of the head of the family, and the biggest competitor, the third uncle Luo Shenyang, took the lead in attacking, and united a group of people to attack him, wanting to snatch the position of the leader." Li Yihang said: "Then do you hope that side wins, and still support Qi Liren?"
Sima Mei's face was gloomy, and said: "I have broken off with him, although I don't say that it will become fire and water, but I am also like a passerby, there is no emotion at all, I just don't understand, my relationship with him for more than ten years, how can he say that he will cut it off, and there is no trace of unbearable and pity?" Li Yihang said: "Qi Liren may have betrayed you a long time ago, and he has been deceiving you only for your influence and support, and now that he is the head of the house, no one can control him, so he will pick up this matter." But he is also a terrible person, and he even kicked you out of the house, not only did he drive you out of the house, but also arranged for you to live in this dark hut, which is really too much. Sima Mei looked sad and said: "This house has long been abandoned, and the old servant of the family saw that I had no house to live in, and I was very pitiful, so he tried his best to repair it for me to live in, and it had nothing to do with him." β
Li Yihang slapped the table vigorously and scolded: "Beast is not as good as the guy, if he does this, isn't he afraid that your father will suddenly come back one day?" Sima Mei's face became even more painful, and she said: "Recently, the two factions have attacked and fought against each other, because there is such a saying among the disciples that my father has been killed by Qi Liren. Li Yihang was taken aback and said, "Is there any evidence then?" Who came from it?"
Sima Mei shook her head and said: "I don't know anything, as soon as others see me approaching, they don't talk about it, and they scatter one after another, I, I'm a woman, I can't find out any news." After saying that, two big tears came out, turned around, and wiped them with their sleeves. Li Yihang said: "Your third uncle wants to take the position of the head of the family, why can't he win you over?" Sima Mei shook her head and said: "I don't know, I think it was me who fought for the position of head of the family for Qi Li at that time, and offended them very badly." Li Yihang looked at her and asked: "Before you turned your face with Qi Liren, did you act very high-profile and perverse, never looked at anyone in your eyes, beat and scolded people at every turn, lost your princess temper, and offended everyone thoroughly?"
Sima Mei didn't speak, it was a tacit acquiescence, Li Yihang said: "It doesn't matter who you used to be, our top priority now is to cooperate with your third uncle to oust Qi Liren, a bastard, and then interrogate him well, if he seeks your father, do you dare to avenge your father personally?" Sima Mei nodded and said: "Of course I dare, I have long wanted to pull out Qi Liren's cramps." Li Yihang smiled: "Then you just said that there is no momentum to become fire and water?" Sima Mei said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that you will say that I am stingy, because of love and hate, and I am single, how can I compete with him, I don't dare to have such a thought." Li Yihang said: "I look down on the negative man the most, Miss Sima, I am in charge of your affairs, with my support, don't be afraid." Sima Mei nodded.
Li Yihang remembered the question in his heart, and asked her why she couldn't see the Shushan faction during the day, Sima Mei introduced the Shushan faction, it turned out that this Shushan faction belonged to a branch of Taoism, in addition to practicing martial arts, but also cultivating magic pills and other Xuanmen things, Siguniang Mountain was cast by them Spells, ordinary people came to the mountain, they couldn't see or feel the existence of the Shushan faction at all, only the disciples of this sect could find the entrance. Li Yihang asked: "Then you are equivalent to being in another world, if I either enter the Ghost Valley by mistake, or stand in the same place, I can't see you, right?" Sima Mei said: "Yes, it can be said to be a parallel world, or it can be said that time and space are disordered, this thing is very mysterious, and I don't really know what is going on." β
Li Yihang asked again: "Then why is there a ghost fire leading me into the Ghost Valley at night?" Sima Mei said: "This is where our spell is not perfect, there will always be a few nights every month There will be loopholes, and there will be a valley passage that can enter Shu Mountain, so if someone wants to enter Shu Mountain, we have to kill all of them in the valley, so as not to leak the news, and over time, there are more people who die in the valley, so we get the name of Ghost Valley." Li Yihang said: "You can use witchcraft, then I can't fight them." Sima Mei stretched out her hand and pressed his mouth and said, "It's magic, not witchcraft." Li Yihang smelled a peculiar breath on her body in his nose, his skin touched his lips like an electric shock, he felt that her hands were abnormally soft, and he couldn't help but think about it again, and wanted to hold her in his arms, thinking: "Could this be the breath emitted by the woman's spring heart that Luo Yungou's nose smelled?" He immediately stabilized his mind and suppressed the shameless and despicable thoughts in his heart.
Sima Mei stared at him, seeing that a light flashed in his eyes, but in the end it dimmed, she couldn't help but be slightly disappointed, and after a while, she withdrew her hand and said softly: "Our spells are only useful to outsiders, and they are useless to our own people. After speaking, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom, turned the bottle upside down, and poured out the last Tianyan bead. Li Yihang said: "This bead is very precious, you see that there is only the last one left." Sima Mei said: "This is the core secret of our Shushan faction, which is more than ten times more precious than Huagongsan, and now in order to avenge my father, I can't take care of anything, don't say anything and eat it quickly." β
Li Yihang didn't think much about it, took it and swallowed it, and said: "If Qi Liren casts a spell on me, and I am not fooled, then he will definitely suspect you, so what should I do?" Sima Mei said: "I actually made a move, and I don't care if he has any doubts, there is no wind and no waves, since there are rumors that have come out, it is eighty percent that he has harmed my father, and it is inevitable to turn his face." Li Yihang said: "The strength of the two of us is too thin, we must be in the camp on your third uncle's side, let's negotiate the conditions with him, we will help him sit in the position of the head of the house, and he will give me the power of transformation." β
Sima Mei said: "You are really selfish, and you always think about your own interests. β
Li Yihang was suffocated, and said hummingly: "Then I will risk my life to help you avenge your father, and I must be paid a little, besides, I came here to dissipate my merits." β
Sima Mei smiled: "Don't be nervous, I'm joking with you, you're so interesting, if you don't help me, Miss Ben will also find a way to steal the Gongsan for you." Li Yihang smiled: "Where am I interesting?" Sima Mei covered her mouth and said: "In the Ghost Valley, you pick up two arm bones and a skull to pretend to be a ghost, isn't that interesting, you really think people are stupid, I couldn't help laughing in my heart at the time." Li Yihang said: "It makes you laugh and you still want to take my life, it's really the most poisonous woman's heart." β
Sima Mei said: "Bah, what kind of woman, Miss Ben is still a yellow flower girl." Li Yihang said: "I don't believe it." Sima Mei said: "Why don't you believe it?" Li Yihang's heart fluttered again, and he didn't dare to discuss this sensitive and ambiguous matter with her again, and said: "You say yes, then the wasp tail needle, the most poisonous girl's experience." β
The two laughed and talked for a while, and Sima Mei said, "I'll take you out first to familiarize yourself with the terrain of Shushan and the personnel settings within the faction." It was already dark outside, so Li Yihang followed her in women's clothes, walked out of the room with a twist of his buttocks.
Li Yihang followed her to walk on Shu Mountain, and went around the halls of each hall, although the identity of Sima Mei's daughter was long gone, she walked on these places without being hindered. On the way, I also met a lot of young men, all staring at the two of them, Li Yihang said: "Miss Sima, those later generations have a love for you, why don't you make good use of it?" Sima Mei chirped: "If I find a random one, wouldn't it be low for Qi Liren, if this is the case, I would rather never marry." Li Yihang said: "There are not many disciples in Shushan, and there is only one outstanding person like Qi Liren, if you are unwilling to lower your standards, then go outside to find it, I have a friend who is very capable, do you want to know?"
Sima Mei grew up in Shushan since she was a child, and her heart and eyes are straightforward, compared with girls from ordinary families, she is less reserved and forbearing, and she is more active and arrogant, and she rushed out and said: "I think you are very good." But even though she was as straightforward as she was, and said this, she still blushed and lowered her head. Li Yihang couldn't understand what she meant, and couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, and stopped and said to her: "Miss Sima, we haven't known each other for a long time, and it's really an honor to have your appreciation, but I already have a lover below, if I can get a good result this time, I will go back to get married." β
Sima Mei immediately smiled and said: "I'm joking with you, seeing that you are so serious, you are a little brother, Sister Sima, I don't want you." Li Yihang said: "I'm serious, if you are really interesting, I will introduce my eldest brother to you." Sima Mei said: "Let's talk about this later." β
Li Yihang lived on Shushan for three days, and he already knew about the personnel of the Shushan faction, Sima Yingchuan had six junior disciples, two senior uncles, more than 40 disciples, Qi Liren ranked sixth among the disciples of his lineage, and there were about 1,000 people in the entire Shushan faction, Li Yihang asked: "You Shushan faction has a lot of people, why are you so mysterious in the rivers and lakes, don't you never walk on the rivers and lakes?" Sima Mei said: " Yes, after entering the Shushan faction, if there are no special circumstances, the disciple cannot take a step out of the ghost valley, if someone wants to withdraw from the sect, the elders in the sect will cast spells on them, wipe away the memory, and this person will return home, and this period of time in Shushan will become a blank. Li Yihang said: "Then don't you feel bored living here, I've only lived for three days, and I'm already bored." β
Sima Mei said: "Most of the disciples have grown up on Shu Mountain since they were children, and they have never been to the outside world. β
A few days later, Sima Mei took Li Yihang to meet the third uncle Luo Shenyang, and after sitting down, Luo Shenyang said: "Sima niece, what kind of good day is today, and you are blown to my house?" Sima Mei said: "Uncle Luo, my niece used to offend you a lot, and now I think about it, I am really ashamed. Luo Shenyang was surprised, suspicious, and asked: "Why is my niece polite to me, this is not like your style, you just say it, why did you come here today?"
Sima Mei said: "Uncle Luo, my niece came to visit today, firstly, to make amends to your old man, and secondly, to ......" Looking around, Luo Shenyang knew what she meant, so he dismissed the irrelevant personnel. Sima Mei said in a low voice: "Uncle Luo, I was sorry for you before, my niece really sincerely repented, I hope you don't take it to heart." Luo Shenyang heard her say this, and hurriedly said: "Niece Sima doesn't have to say that, Uncle San's old bones remember everything, but he doesn't hold grudges, you can rest assured." β
Sima Mei whispered: "Third Uncle, there have been rumors recently, saying that Qi Liren killed my father, I don't know what to say about this?" Luo Shenyang glanced at Li Yihang and said, "Who is this girl?" Sima Mei said: "Her name is Li Yuehua'er, she is my cousin, and she is my own person." Luo Shenyang said: "Niece Sima, you brought an outsider in, this is a big crime, and others can sue you at any time." Sima Mei said: "My cousin is extremely strong in martial arts, I brought her in, one is to help me, and the other is to help you." Luo Shenyang said: "Help me, help me what?"
Li Yihang spoke and said, "Third Uncle, I'm here to help you ascend to the position of the head of the family. Luo Shenyang was taken aback and said, "What do you say, who are you." Sima Mei said: "Third uncle, please don't get excited, please listen to me slowly." This young man's name is Li Yihang, is my cousin, and he is dressed up as a woman to hide people's eyes and ears, we came to visit today, one is to find out about my father's affairs, and the other is to contribute to the position of the head of the third division. β
Luo Shenyang said: "This matter is not trivial, it is not trivial, if it spreads, it will be difficult for you, me and him to protect their heads." Let it be as if it had never happened, and leave quickly. β
Li Yihang said: "Uncle Luo, at this critical moment, the news of my uncle's murder came out, I believe it will not be the wind released by Qi Liren, who released it, and what is its purpose, even I, an outsider, can not know? Since you have come to this point, I believe that you are preparing to have a fish with him, if you have more of us to help each other, the winning rate has increased greatly, why do you want to turn us away?" Sima Mei said: " Yes, Uncle San, let's take what we need, you have to be the head of the house, I will take revenge, Li Shaoxia came here this time in order to save people, the two sides are united, and the chances of winning Qi Liren will be greatly increased, why not?"
Luo Shenyang only determined the purpose of Sima Mei's visit at this time, and said: "Your third uncle still suspected that you were sent by Qi Liren at first, so he was a little more vigilant, please don't be surprised by the two virtuous nephews." Sima Mei said: "Qi Liren and I have become a fire and water, how can we still do things for him?" Luo Shenyang said: "Who knows if you are a bitter plan, people's hearts are sinister and unpredictable, and you have to guard against it." Li Yihang said: "If you want to play a bitter meat trick, you shouldn't play my cousin, an eldest lady and a princess, so please don't worry about it." β
Luo Shenyang invited the two of them into the secret room, and said: "Xiaomei, whether your father was killed or not, we actually don't know very well, this rumor first came out of the mouth of your little junior brother Liu Xing, it is said that Liu Xing slept and talked in his sleep half a month ago, and retold the conversation between your father and Qi Liren. Sima Mei asked: "What did Liu Xing say?" Luo Shenyang said: "Because it was night, everyone slept in a daze, and they didn't hear it clearly, Dagen meant, your father was killed by Qi Liren, and before he died, he said: 'Liren, you are so ruthless. Then Qi Liren said, 'If you don't die, I'll be finished.' And then it was gone. β
Li Yihang said: "Since it is a dream, the credibility has dropped a lot, but the day has been seen, the dream has been said, I think this matter can be confirmed nine times out of ten, the most important thing now is to win Liu Xing over, and then we have his evidence in our hands, and Qi Liren will be much easier to deal with." Sima Mei said: "Third Uncle, why do you say that Qi Liren wants to kill my father, and also say that if my father doesn't die, he will be finished, what is the reason?" Luo Shenyang said: "It must be that your father found out what he was doing, and then scolded him, Qi Liren took the lead and killed your father, and Liu Xing happened to see it in the dark, he didn't dare to say anything, and finally said it in a dream." β
The three of them all felt that this must be the case, but what did Qi Liren do, although Sima Yingchuan found out that he was doing this, but he did not immediately speak out, giving Qi Liren a chance to beg to start.
After being silent for a long time, Li Yihang said: "Cousin, didn't Qi Liren say that he was with some of your little junior sisters very early, I guess it must be that when you and his good days were approaching, he went to have a tryst with the little junior sister, and was bumped into by your father, but your father because of your face, and the wedding is approaching, under the bitter begging of Qi Liren, he concealed this matter, but Qi Liren is not at ease, and took the opportunity to kill your father, do you think it will be such a situation?"
Luo Shenyang patted his thigh and said: "Li Shaoxia is right, a word reminded me, Qi Liren and Zhao Yuanyuan eyebrows have been in love a few years ago, and the two of them often practice martial arts together, thinking that they are practicing and sparking." Sima Mei gritted her teeth with hatred and said: "This bastard deceived me so hard, for three years he has pretended to do his best to find my father, and he didn't think about tea and dinner, which moved me to a mess, but it turned out to be such a wolf-hearted slut." β
Li Yihang said: "Third Senior Uncle, how is Liu Xing now, which side is he on?" Luo Shenyang said: "Liu Xing is the junior brother of Qi Liren, and it stands to reason that he will stand on his side." Li Yihang said: "I don't know if Qi Liren will kill him and kill him?" Luo Shenyang said: "I have also thought about this, but if he really does this, isn't it to cover up, everyone will be more suspicious of him, and the truth will be more, as long as I track down the cause of Liu Xing's death, then he will be finished." Li Yihang said: "To find out about this matter, there are two people who can start, one is Liu Xing, and the other is the little sister Zhao Yuanyuan, let's go and call Liu Xing over first to ask carefully." β
Luo Shenyang said: "I have wanted to do this for a long time, but after this incident, Qi Liren kept calling Liu Xing to practice, saying what kind of sword formation to practice, but he never put it back." Li Yihang shouted: "Oops, Qi Liren must be going to attack Liu Xing, let's go and rescue him immediately." Luo Shenyang said: "Li Shaoxia is slow, now Qi Liren is the master of a faction, we can't force him to come, and the fact that he called Liu Xing to practice the sword formation is completely understandable, I can't catch his handle, this matter has to be considered in the long run." Li Yihang said: "Third uncle, just like this, you call all the people to discuss, and my cousin and I will go over to find out the truth first." Luo Shenyang said: "It's okay, you have to be careful, Qi Li people even dare to kill the head of the house, and it is not a problem to kill the two of you." Li Yihang nodded and said, "Thank you Third Senior Uncle, it's not so easy for this Qi Li person to kill me." β
Li Yihang and Sima Mei left Luofu, and went to Tongyuan Cliff where Liuxing practiced the sword formation, along the way, there were many people guarding the road, Sima Mei every time he arrived at a station, he attracted the attention of the sentry in front, Li Yihang swept behind him like a gust of wind, even Sima Mei, who had been staring at his figure, only felt a flower in front of him, and his skills were so fast that no one could match him, and he couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart. After walking through several checkpoints, he finally came to a dangerous cliff, which was about six zhang wide and seven zhang long, and was facing the abyss on three sides.
The eighteen disciples who were practicing swords on the cliff were all surprised when they saw Sima Mei, and they all came over to shout "Senior Sister" and "Senior Sister", Sima Mei said: "Senior Brother Xuanling, what kind of sword formation are you practicing?" A twenty-six-seven-year-old young man said: "We are practicing the Flying Immortal Array and the Wandering Dragon Exploration Array, Senior Sister Sima, what kind of wind blows you up to the cliff, we rarely see you on weekdays." This Senior Brother Xuanling looked at Sima Mei, and his eyes couldn't be turned away.
The young disciples on Shushan, if anyone does not regard Sima Mei as a dream lover, it is because there is a problem with his orientation, just because she was the daughter of the head of the family before, and she was the lover of Qi Liren, the most outstanding figure among the middle-aged disciples of the Shushan faction, so no one dared to show the slightest disrespect or admiration in front of her. Although she is still beautiful, her status has plummeted from what it used to be, not only abandoned by her former lover and the new head, but also robbed of her living room. In the past, she was arrogant to everyone, but now after the fall, everyone is sending ice to her, casting sarcastic eyes, and the young disciples in the faction have started her idea, hoping to win her favor, probably because the previous lover Qi Liren is too good, Sima Mei is not pleasing to anyone, thinking that these people's show of love is a great disrespect to her, purely falling into the well, and the displeasure is overflowing, and this has caused the young disciples to misunderstand her, saying that her identity is no different from us now, what are you pretending to be, and you can't help but speak ill of herγ
After Sima Mei was enlightened by Li Yihang's education, she deeply realized her mistakes, decided to correct her attitude, and said with a smile: "I was very bored in the main hall alone, so I walked around, and when I heard your shouts, I came up and walked around. After speaking, she raised the bamboo basket in her hand, and a group of people surrounded her and asked, "What is that, it must be food." The bamboo basket was opened, and sure enough, it was all freshly made dim sum, the aroma was overflowing, and there was still residual warmth, all the disciples cheered, and each of them reached out to take a piece, but saw a disciple sitting silently on the stone, not participating. Sima Mei walked over and shouted, "Senior Brother Liu, what are you doing in a daze, what's the matter, isn't it good to dislike my gesture?"
Liu Xingne stood up, his face was flushed, he didn't dare to look at this charming senior sister, he lowered his head and said, "No, no, no, I'...... I ......" a disciple said: "Senior Brother Liu is not in good spirits during this time, he is always in a bad spirit, I don't know what illness he is, he asked him to see a doctor, but he refused to go." β210
