Chapter 6: The First Sword of Nan Zhen (2)
Ouyang Bei looked at the old monster carefully.
I saw that he was in his fifties, although he was not too old, but a slightly literate face was deeply wrinkled with a few slashing and axe-like wrinkles, there seemed to be a faint sorrow between his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised and showed a trace of unruliness.
Even if Ouyang Bei wanted to break his brain, he couldn't remember who looked like this in the martial arts, and he was stunned on the spot when he was asked.
Seeing that Ouyang Bei couldn't answer, the old monster said lightly: "There is a way that you don't wear a thousand clothes, but you don't even know who I am, so you are here for a while? ”
Ouyang Bei's face was full of shame, and he said: "I see that my predecessors have made extraordinary moves, and they must be masters in the world, but I really don't know the origin of my predecessors." ”
The old monster snorted and stopped talking.
Ouyang Bei had never encountered such an embarrassing scene, so he had the heart to turn around and leave.
I also remembered the tragic situation of the bizarre death of the two people in Fengyilou, and the deadline for solving the case was approaching day by day.
couldn't help but rush to the top of his head, gritted his teeth, fell to his knees, and said: "Senior, as the saying goes, you can't miss when you see a master, not to mention that there is such a reverse thing in Yangzhou City, the gangsters are extremely brutal, and they are protecting one side in the next day, but they can only sit back and watch the gangsters get away with it, and the people are panicked all day long. ”
"If you can't bring the gangsters to justice, you won't have the shame to see your father, the old folks! I'll kneel down for you and beg my seniors to help me!"
The old monster laughed and sneered: "The Ma family is a member of the Heavenly Master's Sect, the second son has harmed others, and he has his own bull-nosed old way to stand up for him, but what are you anxious about?"
Ouyang Bei gritted his teeth and said: "This river and lake has the rules of the rivers and lakes, I understand, but everyone in the rivers and lakes only looks at their own benefits, when do they know the word Wang Fa? ”
When the old monster heard him say that he was awe-inspiring, his face suddenly showed a hint of approval, and he nodded and said: "You are a little ambitious, and you are a little different from the dog officials in the court, don't kneel!"
Ouyang Bei's face was full of joy and stood up.
The old monster looked him up and down a few times and asked, "You said earlier that the two of Fengyilou died bizarrely, and the killing methods were strange, what is going on?"
Ouyang Bei hurriedly said: "The blood of the deceased is clotted all over his body, and his face is ruddy as usual from the outside, and he can't find any external injuries, so I really don't know who did it." ”
The old monster originally had an indifferent look, but at this time, he said "Huh" and carefully asked about the injury.
Ouyang Bei described it in great detail.
After hearing this, the old monster's eyes flashed brightly, and he said, "What a Xiao Kehan! I didn't expect it to really make him practice the 'Frost Sword'." It's rare for the rivers and lakes to live in peace again!"
Ouyang Bei heard him say the name Xiao Kehan, and searched in his mind for a long time, but he didn't have the slightest impression, and asked a little blankly: "Xiao Kehan, who is this person?"
The old monster laughed, "Interesting, funny! Boy, this is not that simple, if you are only bent on catching people, you don't know how long this head will stay on your neck." ”
Ouyang Bei knew what this was called, Xiao Kehan's martial arts must be surprisingly high, and it was definitely beyond his own two strokes, so he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Gangsters are so rampant, the juniors are bold, and they want to ask the seniors to help." ”
The old monster shook his head and said, "If traitors have been rampant in the world for a long time, it is definitely not something that can be stopped by just one or two people, unless it ...... Unless ......"
Ouyang Beidao: "Please show me." ”
The old monster said, "Unless you can solve the four riddles and get the peerless secrets in them, you will still be dead." ”
Ouyang Bei was surprised: "Four riddles, peerless secrets, and what are they?"
The old monster said: "You remember, 'North, South, West, East, Count in the king's bow, cross the sea and the real dragon, neither false nor empty'." As long as you can solve these four sixteen-character riddles and find out the secrets, it will be useful. ”
Ouyang Bei couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Isn't this just the few words that Monk Xichen said?
The old monster sneered: "Nonsense, I really don't know the height of the sky, when the source of these four sentences is really known to you, I'm afraid you will scare your soul!"
I saw his figure flash, and then he slid through the edge of the bamboo forest.
Ouyang Beida shouted: "Seniors stay!"
The old monster was long gone.
Tianning Temple occupies a large area, and it is not good to rummage through the temple during this festival, Ouyang Bei stood for a long time, and was ready to find a wall root and then climb over the wall.
Turning around and walking out of the bamboo forest, I suddenly saw an old monk standing in the middle of the road, who is not Xichen?
Ouyang Bei looked embarrassed, he privately asked Xichen's disciple, Yu Lao Monk's affection was already very unbearable, so he could only laugh and say: "Master, Ouyang has offended a lot, please punish him heavily." ”
Xichen was not angry, and said with a smile: "The donor forced the monk's apprentice, although the means are a little unacceptable, after all, it is for the axiom of Yangzhou City, how can the monk be responsible?"
Ouyang Bei saw that Xichen did not blame, his heart was slightly relieved, and he hurriedly said: "I am very sorry not to go to this trouble, so I will say goodbye and return the temple to clean." ”
Xichen smiled slightly, pointed at Huayan Pavilion, and said, "The donor was able to meet Yan Daxia by chance this time, which is not worth the trip." ”
Ouyang Bei was stunned and said, "Yan Daxia, is that the weirdo who lives in Huayan Pavilion?"
Xichen nodded and said: "This Yan Daxia is Yan Junshan, the world-famous 'First Sword of Southern Support' twenty years ago. ”
Ouyang Bei shouted, and said, "No wonder such a high martial arts is disrespectful!"
Nangan is the southern Ganbu continent, and in the Buddhist scriptures, the southern Ganbu continent is the world inhabited by human beings.
This "Nangan's first sword" Yan Junshan became famous very early, and he is one of the few grandmasters in the martial arts.
It's just that for some reason, more than 20 years ago, the sword was suddenly sealed and hidden, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then, but he didn't expect to appear here.
Ouyang Bei sighed and said, "It's a pity that although Yan Daxia's martial arts are high, he is a born person. Otherwise, with his martial arts cultivation, as long as he is willing to come down and wade into this troubled water, everything will really be fine. ”
When he was a teenager, he traveled to the rivers and lakes, and heard people tell all kinds of bizarre stories about "Nan Zhen's first sword", and he longed for it, but he didn't expect to be able to meet him unintentionally, and he had mixed feelings for a while.
Xichen smiled slightly, and said: "Donor, donor, what kind of character is Yan Daxia, if you can see him, you should be content, how can you think about it?"
Ouyang Bei remembered what Yan Junshan said, so he asked: "Yan Daxia Shicai once mentioned a person's name, saying that it was called 'Xiao Kehan', I think this person must have something to do with this case, I don't know if the master knows each other?"
Xichen's face changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "Xiao ...... Xiao Kehan, you still know......"
Ouyang Bei was overjoyed when he saw that he knew, and said, "What is the origin of this person?"
Xichen's face showed unbearable expression, and he said: "The donor only knows how to be loyal to his duties, and he doesn't care about himself at all, and the old man is really impressed." It's just that these people are huge, and they are by no means imaginable by the benefactor. If I do, I'll hurt you. ”
Ouyang Bei hurriedly said: "If this person is really a murderer, how can I stay out of the matter?
Xichen sighed, took out a small bamboo tube, and said: "If the donor encounters danger in the future, please open this bamboo tube quickly to save your life." ”
He stuffed the small bamboo tube into Ouyang Bei's hand, and said: "Yan Daxia admires your chivalrous heart very much, and I give you this bamboo tube, which can be regarded as a piece of our heart." ”
Ouyang Bei saw that the monk was dead or alive, and sighed: "I have said so much, but it turned out to be a bamboo tube." The master is so unkind, it's really chilling. ”
Xichen said: "Amitabha, but the old monk has done more." If the donor doesn't want this bamboo tube, he will come with me. ”
Ouyang Bei saw his expression, and said in his heart: "Monk Xichen is compassionate, although I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, he won't harm me if he thinks about it, so why should I offend him?"
He hurriedly bowed his hand and said apologetically: "Master, don't blame, I was thinking about the case, but it was rude between my words. ”
Yan Daxia took materials on the spot, and when he left, he also made a bamboo tube to give to himself.
Although Ouyang Bei didn't know what this bamboo tube was for, he thought it was Xichen's kindness, so he put it in his arms.
Just as he was about to leave, Xichen said again: "Master Ouyang, the monk has other news. ”
Ouyang Bei was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Master has something to say, please say." ”
Xichen said: "Amitabha, as far as I know, this Yangzhou Ma family is a member of the Heavenly Master's Sect, and the Heavenly Master's high apprentice has now arrived in Yangzhou. ”
Ouyang Bei's whole body was shocked, and his heart was happy and worried.
Happily, the Heavenly Master and his apprentices arrived in Yangzhou, and since they came for the matter of Fengyi Tower, they will be of many help.
The worry is that the master and apprentice may not be willing to listen to his restraint and assignment, if the group fights, Yangzhou City does not know what to do.
Ouyang Bei clenched his fists and arched his hand: "Thank you Master for telling me, I will definitely deal with it carefully and don't let the incident expand." ”
Xichen said: "The donor cherishes a lot, don't act rashly, don't spare your own life." ”
Although Ouyang Bei disagreed, he still thanked him and said goodbye.
After this tossing and turning at night, he also felt a little tired, so he hurriedly rushed back to the mansion and rested in the gatehouse.
He called everyone to inquire about the visit, only to see a group of colleagues all depressed, thinking that they must have found nothing.
Although he knew the name of the murderer, he didn't know where to find it, and he couldn't guess why the murderer's martial arts were so high, why he chose two people who didn't know the slightest bit of effort.
Everything went wrong, and the whole case was still shrouded in fog.
