In 1067, the Northern Song Dynasty, Bianliang, Yishan Hanjian

☆☆☆

The stone cave of the ghost market can lead to the valley of Yishan Mountain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The water is murmuring under the stone bridge, and a fresh mist is steaming, and the stone bridge stretches into the pool, and at the end is a stone pavilion, which is in the middle of the water. The valley used by flying thieves to hide stolen goods, but now it is such an elegant place.

He couldn't imagine who had changed all this.

The man in Tsing Yi walked on the stone bridge, and suddenly, he smelled a burst of fragrance, and the fragrance was far away. As far as the eye can see, the mountain stream is full of lotus flowers. Candles are lit in the hollowed-out lotus canopy to make lights, and countless lotus lamps drift with the waves, and the candlelight is sparkling and sparkling.

Why does such a scene seem familiar in memory?

The man in Tsing Yi strode towards the pavilion, and the first thing that caught his eye was a long back.

He remembered this back, in the middle of summer, it was also a lotus.

Every year in the middle of summer, the lotus festival will be held on the hometown Daming Lake, and people have been boating to enjoy the lotus at night, and enjoy the summer and cool summer. The elder brother took him, and a few half-old children, stole the boat and sailed into the middle of the lake, grabbing lotus and picking lotus roots, which was very pleasant. Enough frolicking, everyone lay on the boat to enjoy the cool summer breeze of the moon and clouds, he looked up, only his brother stood in the bow of the boat, and the back under the moon was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Brother, the back he had been following, seemed to see the old man, and the man in Tsing Yi almost screamed out of his voice.

Hearing footsteps, the man turned around.

The man in Tsing Yi looked carefully, the other party was straight, quiet, elegant and handsome, and his demeanor was very chic, but he was heroic.

"Second uncle. ”

The man in Tsing Yi really didn't expect that what he saw was the old man, his own nephew.

Seventeen years ago, several of his nephews died in a bloody battle against the Demon Cult, unless......

"You are?"

"Why, I haven't seen you for so many years, and my second uncle doesn't know me anymore?"

"Are you...... You are...... Worm?" After carefully identifying it, the voice of the man in Tsing Yi became excited.

"It's me, second uncle. ”

The uncle and nephew finally recognized each other, and their hands were tightly clasped together.

This nephew's name is Qin Yujiu, and he is the youngest son of his brother. It's easy to feed with a cheap name, Yu is a worm, and he ranks ninth. This Xiao Jiu has been following his mother and raised in his hometown Qizhou (now Jinan, Shandong). He was still young when the Flying Pirate Club had an accident.

"By the way, how do you know I'm not dead?"

"The old servant of the family mentioned it, saying that someone had been to his hometown and inquired about the news of Xiao Jiu'er of the Qin family, and I guess this person must be the second uncle. ”

"I inquired about the news of your mother and son, and I heard that you took over the spice business in your hometown and entered the capital. I don't think it's a good thing for you to live an ordinary life since you don't know about the Flying Pirates. Later, I also heard that you became the most well-known spice merchant in the country, and the incense and incense produced by 'Ning Xiangju' are famous in Beijing. So you sent someone to bring me a batarang?"

"On my tenth birthday, my father took me into Beijing for the first time, and it was your second uncle who gave me this batarang. I think if you see you again, you'll know I'm looking for you. ”

"I forgot too long ago. Besides, for so many years, I have been incognito and cautious everywhere, for fear that the Demon Sect will come to my door one day. ”

"Uncle hasn't been unwilling for so many years?"

"What can you do if you are unwilling? What do you want to do with me?" The man in Tsing Yi suddenly figured out something, he patted his forehead, and suddenly realized, "Incense thief?

Qin Yujiu smiled slightly and nodded, "For so many years, I have never given up on finding out the truth, let alone forgetting to avenge my father. ”

"I can't help but admire how the Flying Pirates can return to their current state in a short period of time. The corner of the Tsing Yi man's mouth tugged at a wry smile, shook his head and said, "Avenge my father, why? With the group of rabble outside, that level of martial arts, that's not to make the people of the Demon Sect laugh off their big teeth." ”

"Of course I know these people can't compare to the flying thieves of the past. "In order to reorganize the Flying Thieves Club, Qin Yujiu has lowered the threshold for joining the club when recruiting people, but now these people are not compared with the Flying Thieves Club in its heyday, even compared with the people with the worst martial arts in the original Flying Thieves Club. He looked at the man in Tsing Yi and said eagerly: "That's why I want to ask your uncle to come back and preside over the overall situation." ”

The iron bat Qin Ping looked up to the sky and laughed, his laughter was full of bitterness: "Back then, several masters of the Flying Thieves Society joined forces to kill a right envoy of the Demon Sect, and then the entire army was wiped out. I narrowly escaped with my life and hid in Jiangnan, just thinking that the main altar of the Demon Sect was in Jiangnan, and the most dangerous place was the safest, and second, I could also take the opportunity to find out the news. But when I learned about the situation of the Demon Cult, it became even clearer that it was almost impossible to take revenge and make a comeback. At the beginning, the left envoy of the Demon Sect, Chu Xuan's martial arts, was not weak, and now he is even more perfect, and the current right envoy Luo Li, although he is a young man, is said to be more difficult to deal with than the original one. 'Left and right separate', if these two protectors want to exterminate the Flying Thieves Society, I am afraid it will be easy, and the Flying Thieves Association is like this, they just disdain to take action. ”

"I think Chu Zhen of the Demon Sect has the same idea as his uncle. ”

"What do you mean?"

Qin Yujiu continued, "I pulled up the banner of the Thieves Society again, but there was no reaction from the Demon Sect's side. Not only did he not come to the door to retaliate, but the previous resentment seemed to be gone. Uncle also saw it, and now these people in the Flying Pirate Club are mixed, most of them are indiscriminate, and the scene can be filled, and if you really want to do it, you will be exposed immediately. The people of the Demon Sect must have known it very well in their hearts. ”

Qin Yujiu sighed in his heart, he felt both helpless and funny about this, such a grievance between the rivers and lakes slowly subsided for this reason.

The Iron Bat narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered, "This is a rare respite. ”

"If your iron bat returns, uncle, the revival of the Flying Pirates will be just around the corner. ”

"You kid, don't pat me on the back. ”

Qin Yujiu chuckled, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he asked, "The second uncle should know best about my father's theft of the Demon Sect's holy book back then, and my nephew wants to hear the cause and effect from you." ”

The uncle and nephew sat down at the stone table, and Qin Ping talked about the past.

"Back then, a mysterious merchant came to the Flying Thieves Club and first took out ten rare South Pearls, and when everyone was looking at them, he said that whoever could help him steal the Holy Book of the Demon Sect would pay another twenty South Pearls of the same quality. Flying thieves will scramble to be the first, and everyone will be eager to try. Later, everyone agreed that this time they would show their magical powers, and whoever could succeed would belong to whomever they could. So everyone went their separate ways, two or three waves of masters shot, and it was your father who won in the end. When I stole it, I realized that the so-called Demon Sect Holy Book was not a book, but four wooden boards, and the words engraved on it were incomprehensible and meaningless, and it was not like what we guessed was hiding the supreme martial arts of the Demon Sect. ”

The Iron Bat sighed and said, "Your father alone went to the meeting as scheduled according to the merchant's agreement. I never thought that he would never come back. I brought someone to the door, only to find that the rich merchant's family had also been murdered, and at this time, the Demon Cult had slaughtered us in a big way, and surrounded us. I explained to them that it was the rich businessmen who paid us to steal the holy book, and the person who stole the book was also killed, but the people of the Demon Sect falsely accused us of killing people and destroying people. I escaped from my injuries, and when I recovered from my injuries, I heard that the Demon Cult was still frantically chasing down the Flying Thieves Society, and even implicated many innocent people. ”

When the iron bat said this, he was silent, as if he was still regretting why he didn't stop his brother in the first place and let him die in vain.

After being silent for a while, Qin Yujiu slowly spoke, "This is roughly the same as what my nephew has learned, but I have been inquiring from everywhere as a fragrance merchant over the years, and I know something that my second uncle doesn't know." ”

"Oh?"

Qin Yujiu lit a lamp on the stone table, revealing a crystal clear glass lampshade, glowing red, and the two people in the pavilion were also reflected in a layer of red.

After a while, the woman in white who had seen her in the ghost market came over with a big red box.

"Xiangling, show the things to the second uncle. ”

Xiangling opened the red box and held it in front of the people in Tsing Yi.

"Holy Book?!" the Iron Bat screamed, his voice becoming a little hoarse. What appeared in front of him was a one-foot-square wooden plank, exactly the same as the four planks that his brother had brought home! He looked at Qin Yujiu with wide eyes, "Where did you get it from?"

"Dongping County Palace. ”

"How could the old prince have anything to do with the Demon Sect?" "Iron Bat knows that this king of Dongping County is the grandson of Taizong, and he is a carefree prince, who has always been dignified and kind, and is kind to others.

"At the end of last year, when I was making incense for the prince, I secretly broke into the treasure building of the Dongping Palace, and saw this broken wooden board among a pile of rare treasures. ”

He pointed to the wooden board and said, "The Chinese characters lined up on this board are unwritten and messy, but there is a row of very small characters in the lower left corner. ”

The iron bat picked up the wooden board and rubbed it, and sure enough, he felt the uneven notch in the lower left corner, he took the wooden board closer, looked carefully through the light, and finally found a row of small characters, "It doesn't look Chinese." ”

"Yes, I found out that this is an ancient Persian language, and that small character means "Book of Giants", the Demon Sect was first introduced to the Central Plains from Persia, and I immediately guessed that this is probably the Holy Book of the Demon Sect! I didn't expect that it was such a thing that cost my father his life. ”

Qin Yujiu sighed and said: "In order to dispel the doubts in my heart, I pretended to be a member of the Demon Sect and visited the palace again, as soon as I revealed my identity, the old prince was so frightened that he fell to the ground and trembled and told the inside story. Unexpectedly, the old prince liked the green forest and collected the objects of the rivers and lakes, and he said that this wooden board was sold to him by a thief of the Flying Thieves Club. Because he also knew that someone had sold thirty Nanzhu to buy the Demon Sect Holy Book, he felt that it must be some rare thing, so he bought it without even thinking about it, but when he bought it, he was fooled and let his subordinates throw it in the corner of the Treasure Building, and more than ten years passed in a blink of an eye. ”

"People from the Flying Thieves Society? Could it be true that the Demon Sect is right, that your father was murdered by his own people? Who is so vicious? Can the prince tell who sold him?"

"No, the old prince is just looking for curiosity, and he doesn't know these people in the rivers and lakes at all, and a lot of news is hearsay. However, I continued to track it down and found that one of my father's friends had also been killed at the same time. This man is not a member of the Flying Thieves' Society, but a skilled craftsman, and I suspect that my father kept a hand, and he asked this friend to make a fake set of wooden planks, and took the fake ones with him when he traded, and put them in the hands of this craftsman, but I don't know how this news came out, and the mantis catcher and yellow finch followed. After my father left, someone from the Flying Thieves killed the craftsman and took the real plank. One of them was sold to the prince, and the other three were missing. ”

The iron bat listened in horror and did not speak for a long time.

Qin Yujiu raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "This is why the Demon Sect will not let go of the flying thieves, I think they will not give up until they take back the holy book." Of course, this matter can't be over, I also have to find out the truth and find out the real culprit behind the scenes, so as to comfort my father's spirit in the sky. ”

Qin Yujiu also said that he was afraid that the other three wooden planks would also be sold to dignitaries, so he took advantage of the opportunity of those imperial relatives, noblewomen, and scholars to invite him to buy incense to find out the whereabouts of the wooden planks. Of course, it is also possible that they have not yet made a move, and they are still in the hands of the enemy who killed their father.

After Xiangling left with the red box, the two didn't say a word for a long time, but obviously, it was already the uncle and nephew.

The iron bat said: "You know how to make incense again, and there is a 'nine' in your name, and you are still hyping it up in the city, aren't you afraid that the government will find out about you Qin Yujiu?"

"I did it on purpose, and if I was afraid, I wouldn't do it. ”

The iron bat stared at his nephew and thought: This kid has a lot of temperament, I don't know how martial arts are, I'll give him a try. He laughed out loud and said, "My brother must not have expected that his Jiu'er would become the 'No. 1 in the world' flying thief." ”

Qin Yujiu heard that the second uncle deliberately bit the words "the first in the world" very hard, and knew that he intended to see his martial arts, so he stood up, looked at the turquoise lake outside the pavilion by the railing, and said with a smile: "I introduced the lotus flowers from my hometown to be planted in this mountain stream, but I didn't expect it to bloom more and more, the second uncle knows that this lotus is beautiful, and the lotus lamp is difficult?"

The Iron Bat looked at the few lotus lamps on the lake outside the pavilion and thought to himself that lighting so many candles was indeed a tedious task.

Just as he was about to speak, the iron bat suddenly found that Qin Yujiu beside him disappeared in a blink of an eye, he walked a few steps and came to the pavilion, where was Qin Yujiu's shadow, only a lotus leaf swaying in front of him, and lotus flowers were blooming. He looked into the distance in the stone pavilion, and vaguely heard the lotus flowers hidden in the night fog, there was a sound from far and near, after a breeze, the fragrance of lotus flowers came to his face, Qin Yujiu didn't know when he had returned to the pavilion, and the lotus fragrance was getting stronger and stronger in the pavilion.

I saw that the original dim and misty water was surging, and the lotus lamps gradually lit up from far to near, from dark to bright.

The iron bat's eyes widened, in such a short period of time, with the lotus leaf as a container and the candle lit inside, Qin Yujiu's light skill was really a bit appalling.

The iron bat laughed and said, "I didn't expect Hejiulang to practice light martial arts like this." ”

Hejiulang stole things and left incense, who would have thought that what was left behind was the lotus fragrance in this "cold valley stream".

Watching Qin Yujiu show this light skill that is unique in the world, the iron bat only felt happy and comforted. He could see that this nephew was clear-headed, thoughtful, resolute, and daring, and couldn't help but have a little more confidence in the future.
