Chapter 10: The Secret of the Man in Black
A few days have passed since the bloody case in the rivers and lakes, and there are really no more incidents in the rivers and lakes, and the Sky Eagle Gang has also resumed normal affairs under the leadership of Ying Tianshun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Because Bai Mu is new to the Sky Eagle Gang, he is not familiar with the affairs of the gang, so even if he is the owner of the incense, he does not have much to deal with, so he can only be a spectator. And the mysterious man did not send anyone to contact Bai Mu for many days, and Bai Mu, who got free, practiced eagle claw skills in the gang according to the boxing book.
Strange to say, with Bai Mu's deep internal strength, he should be proficient in practicing martial arts, but it is so difficult to practice Eagle Claw Gong, and he has not practiced one and a half moves after many days of hard practice, so Bai Mu, who couldn't help but be confused, asked his subordinates for advice.
Although the steward of the incense is only to assist the incense master in daily affairs, and does not know the eagle claw skill, but fortunately, the steward has been in the gang for a long time, and he also knows a little about the practice of the previous incense master.
It turns out that the pictographic boxing method of eagle claw gong must be carved hard when it is first practiced, and if the shape is not practiced well in the early stage, then this person is destined to not be able to practice.
The eagle claw gong belongs to the advanced martial arts in pictographic boxing, paying more attention to the combination of form and meaning, and the entry period must accept the strict training of the predecessors, otherwise the form is not like the form, and it is easy to enter the strange road. Unless the practitioner has a very high level of comprehension and can comprehend the essence of the fist method from the true state of all things, but doing so is like creating the fist method, which is extremely difficult.
No wonder Ying Tianshun dared to take the eagle claw skill as a reward when he held the ghost hunting conference, which Ying Tianshun really had a deep city.
Ordinary people can't easily practice even if they get boxing, Ying Tianshun is a pragmatic person, and in his eyes, the boxing scores that others get are like waste paper.
At present, Ying Tianshun is busy with the management of the gang, I am afraid that he will not have time to personally guide Bai Mu to practice, the other incense masters in the gang are distributed all over the world, only Bai Xiang and the green fragrance of Tianyutang are in this city, Bai Mu has just entered the gang, so it is naturally not good to go to ask for advice, so he can only put aside the practice of eagle claw gong for the time being.
Speaking of Eagle Claw Gong, Bai Mu couldn't help but think of the task given to him by the mysterious man, he hadn't been contacted for many days, Bai Mu had already copied the boxing book, just waiting for the mysterious man to send someone to ask for it, but the mysterious man had not contacted Bai Mu for many days, could it be that the Sky Eagle Gang had strengthened its vigilance and the mysterious man could not come in? Bai Mu guessed in his heart.
Another thing that made Bai Mu feel at ease was the key that the man in black gave him before he died, and the box that the man in black hid in the inn probably contained information about the mysterious man. Thinking of this, Bai Mu immediately sent someone to prepare the carriage, planning to return to the inn to see the situation.
In less than half an hour, the entourage drove to the inn, and Shiraki instructed his subordinates to wait outside the door, but to go in by himself.
As soon as I entered the lobby, I happened to meet the shopkeeper of the inn, and Bai Mu, who had not had much communication with the shopkeeper before, walked to the backyard. However, the shopkeeper took the initiative to greet him, "Lord Baixiang, you are back!"
Bai Mu looked a little surprised, the shopkeeper just didn't care about him before, although he didn't feel sorry for him, he was not so courteous. I have just been the owner of incense for a short time, and I have not been on the road in the rivers and lakes today, so it seems that this shopkeeper is really well-informed.
Bai Mu didn't beat around the bush, and asked the shopkeeper directly about the kitchen of the inn.
The shopkeeper was thinking about how to talk to this person who was already the owner of the incense, but he was a little confused by this sudden question, but he still answered truthfully: "The back kitchen is just missing miscellaneous servants, and the rest of the affairs are normal." ā
Sure enough, the man in black didn't lie to him, and Bai Mu continued to ask, "Shopkeeper, can you take me to his room to have a look?"
The shopkeeper wants to come and have nothing to do, so it is better to follow this incense lord to lead him to have a look, which can be regarded as getting closer to the Sky Eagle Gang.
The shopkeeper talked to Bai Mu about this person as he walked, "This person usually doesn't talk much, although he is not diligent in his work, but he is quite honest. I wanted to keep him working in the inn, but I didn't expect to say that there was an accident at home a while ago, and I had to resign and go back to my hometown, so I couldn't help it, so I had to let him go. ā
What, the man in black actually resigned and returned to his hometown in advance, could it be that he already knew that he was going to die? Bai Mu secretly guessed in his heart, could it be that the man in black had already sensed the movement of the mysterious man, but why did he still die?
With that, Bai Mu went to the room of the handymen under the guidance of the shopkeeper, because at this time the handymen were all working in the backyard, and there was no one else in the house.
I saw that there were seven or eight beds in the bright room, and there was no block in the middle, and it was really not easy for the man in black to hide his identity in such a situation.
Shiraki carefully observed the details in the room, and there was a large pillar supporting the beam in the middle, and sure enough, the dust above the pillar had traces of rubbing, although it was not obvious, but Shiraki guessed that this should be left by the man in black when he hid the box on the beam. Looking at Fang Liang, Bai Mu felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth of the matter at this time.
To Bai Mu's surprise, with such a high beam, Bai Mu estimated that he also needed to use this pillar twice to climb the beam, and there was nothing else on the pillar except for this faint trace, it seems that this man in black is really good!
The shopkeeper is next to him, and Bai Mu can't go directly to the beam to find it, so he can only deceive the shopkeeper first.
So Bai Mu immediately pretended to be hiccup, "Shopkeeper, I don't know, Hiccup! Why is the Tao abrupt, Hiccup! Suddenly Hiccups don't stop, yes, Hiccup, Can you help me get some water, Hiccup!"
This move shocked the shopkeeper, so he hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, I'll go get tea." ā
Seeing that the shopkeeper had gone, Bai Mu immediately got lucky, jumped hard, and his feet tossed upwards with the help of the force of the pillar, as if running on the pillar, only two steps, and reached the top. Bai Mu saw that the beam of the house was firmly hooked with both hands, and with a slight flip, he squatted smoothly on the beam. The movements are clean and very chic.
Sure enough, there was a palm-sized black box on the beam, and Bai Mu's heart beat faster at this time, and he only felt that he was about to learn the truth about the mysterious person.
Bai Mu picked up the box carefully, and he didn't expect that such a small box was actually very heavy. Although it was a metal box, it was not so heavy, and Bai Mu, who was puzzled, immediately took the box in his hand and carefully observed it, it turned out to be dark iron!
No wonder the man in black dared to hide the secret in this box, even if the box was discovered, if there was no key, no matter how much he could cut the box with an axe and a knife, he would not be able to break the box for a single point.
When he was surprised, Bai Mu heard the footsteps of the shopkeeper, so he hurriedly hid the box on his body, turned down the beam, and as soon as it was stable, the shopkeeper came in with tea.
Seeing that Bai Mu was no longer hiccup at the moment, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Lord Bai Xiang is already well!"
Only then did Bai Mu realize that he had forgotten to act: "I have already adjusted my luck just now, and I am tired of the shopkeeper." ā
"It's fine that the incense master is fine. The shopkeeper put the guard aside.
Now that the box has been obtained, it is useless to stay there, so Bai Mu said goodbye to the shopkeeper: "It's not too early, I still have business to do, so I'll leave first." ā
The shopkeeper was still wondering that Bai Mu came and went in a hurry, and Bai Mu had already left the inn.
Bai Mu, who came out of the inn, got into the carriage and ordered the men to hurry back to the Aquila Gang.
As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Shiraki ordered the guards to patrol the courtyard without anyone disturbing him, and when he returned to his room, he closed the doors and windows and locked them from the inside of the house just in case.
When it was foolproof, Bai Mu calmed down a little, and carefully took out the box, Bai Mu, who was holding the box in his hand, was both nervous and excited at the moment, he seemed to feel that what he was holding in his hand was his own fate, and the life at the mercy of others could finally end from here.
Bai Mu carefully took out the key to open the box, just opened the lid, and saw a soft red light in the box, it turned out to be a piece of red jade, delicate and beautiful, crystal clear, refracted a faint red light under the illumination of the light, it is really a priceless treasure!
Even if a person like Shiraki who doesn't love money sees it, he also has the mind to take this beautiful jade for himself.
Is the man in black just going to give me this thing?
Although it is a treasure, what Shiraki wants more is the truth of the matter and freedom. The man in black has a skill, and there is such a treasure, and he actually works for the mysterious man, and the more Bai Mu thinks about it, the more terrifying he feels that the mysterious man.
Playing with the red jade carefully, Bai Mu didn't notice anything abnormal, and then picked up the box, only to find that there was a letter pressed at the bottom of the box.
It's just that this piece of beautiful jade is too dazzling, blocking Bai Mu's sight.
Bai Mu carefully took out the letter and opened it, and sure enough, there was a message left by the man in black.
"On the second day of the second month of February, I got two pieces of precious jade, one red and one green, on a solo mission. This is a lost treasure in the palace, I don't know why it fell into the hands of the Sky Eagle Gang, but seeing this piece of red jade reminds me of Qin Yan waiting for me in Yifeng Tower. Selfishness made me leave Meiyu, and only one piece was left. I've been very disturbed lately, and my actions have raised suspicions that I might be killed without knowing it, and that the other party is really unfathomable. If something happens to me, please give this jade to Miss Qin Yan in Yifeng Tower for me. Beautiful jade and beautiful woman, I can't have both after all. --------Shen Liang"
It turned out that the man in black was called Shen Liang, so far, Bai Mu did not get more information from the letter, it seems that about the news of the mysterious person, this person named Shen Liang is also investigating, but he has found nothing like himself.
Bai Mu couldn't help but wonder about the identity of this person named Shen Liang, could this person be the same as himself, restricted by a mysterious person?
Wrong!
In the letter, it can be speculated about Shen Liang's relationship with this woman named Qin Yan, since Shen Liang has a beautiful woman, why does he want to do things for unknown people?
Bai Mu thought that Shen Liang said that this matter would help him before he died, but now that there is only a piece of beautiful jade, there are not many clues, could it be that the woman in the letter knows something?
Shiraki carefully put away the ruby and the letters.
No matter what, now I can only find the girl named Qin Yan according to Shen Liang's last words.
