Chapter 25 Clues
Li Xiangdong said goodbye to his master and Su Wen, and came to Yelang Valley in Guiyang single-handedly. There are not many disciples of Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Yelang Valley, only seventeen people, but because of the prestige of the deceased old valley lord Long Bayan, the prestige in Guizhou has always been very high, and it has been as famous as Fanjing Mountain for 20 years. Today, his 19-year-old son, Long Huayang, is the prime minister of the valley, and he is investigating his father's murderer, often has more than enough energy, frowns, and can't sleep late at night.
Li Xiangdong entered the Yelang Valley from the left gatebar, he looked around, the blockhouse made of stone stands, the shape of the blockhouse is strange, like a man and a beast, the big tree in the valley is several feet high, a few feet straight, but there is another hole outside the forest, the canyon is long, he walks along the bottom of the valley, the stream is murmuring along the way, the wooden bridge is simple, and the picture in the middle of the poem: the small bridge and flowing water. It is a good place, Li Xiangdong looks up from the bottom, the white clouds are far away, in the hanging hole, spit out a few trickles, compete to throw beads and scatter jade, and the banana trees on both sides of the road look a little yellow under the urging of autumn.
"Li Shaoxia, are you here?" The disciples in the valley saw Li Xiangdong coming, and politely came up to greet him.
"Hmm!Are you young valley masters here?"
"Yes. The disciple led Li Xiangdong to the main house, which was made of stone, and the stone walls were stacked and shaped, scattered, and the texture was obvious. Gotta ...... Gotcha, after three knocks on the door, no one answered, gotcha...... After three more sounds, no one answered, and Li Xiangdong and the disciple concluded that no one was in the house, so they retreated.
"Li Shaoxia, our valley master may have something to do temporarily, you sit here and wait, I'll go find the valley master. Li Xiangdong said yes, and the disciple hurried away. Li Xiangdong sat alone and bored, so he walked around, he jumped on the bunker, looked at the four directions from afar, and it was a different scene, it was "seen from a distance as a peak on the side of the ridge, and the height of the distance and near was different" In addition to the beautiful scenery, he also observed another movement, a man in black, a man with a long face, Li Xiangdong knew that the man was Long Huayang, and there was another woman accompanying him, the woman was slender, like a moth eyebrows, the shoulders were like a knife, the waist was about Su, the clouds were ethereal, and the sword was hanging on the waist, it was a beautiful ear, Li Xiangdong didn't know this person, he watched the half-sun, and then jumped off the bunker to see Long Huayang.
"Young Valley Lord, Longlao Valley Lord was persecuted by traitors, our Fanjing Mountain Qixia Villa, as the leader of Guizhou martial arts, has not been able to find out the real culprit for a long time, for which we are deeply sorry. ”
"Miss Muzi is polite. ”
"The old valley lord of Long has worked for the blessings of Guizhou martial arts all his life, and I hope that this gathering of martial arts can find out the real culprit as soon as possible, and also avenge the old valley lord. ”
"In the final analysis, this is also my own family matter, and it is really helpless to use the power of martial arts. ”
"The young valley lord is wrong, when the old valley lord does his best to benefit the martial arts, he does not belong to himself, but to the entire Guizhou martial arts. ”
Long Huayang was very glad that he had such a father, he was proud of it, he only hated that he hadn't found out the real murderer and avenged his father. When he saw Li Xiangdong coming towards him, he thought to himself that Li Xiangdong had only been gone for a few days, and now that he was back, could it be that he had made new progress in the matter of tracking down the murderer? He stepped forward to greet Li Xiangdong with a smile and said, "Brother Li." Li Xiangdong also called "Brother Long", Li Xiangdong continued: "Brother Long, has there been any progress in tracking down the murderer in the past few days?" Long Huayang heard Li Xiangdong say this, his original heart fell suddenly, and he replied in disappointment: "Not yet!" Li Xiangdong originally wanted to tell the results of his investigation, but when he saw the woman, if she talked about herself, she felt a little rude to her, so he asked Long Huayang: "Who is this?" Long Huayang introduced: "This is Mu Zi Qingmei of Fanjing Mountain Qixia Villa. Li Xiangdong looked at the heir of Fanjing Mountain Qixia Villa, Meiyu Qingxiu, and praised it in his heart, he and Mu Zi Qingmei greeted each other, Long Huayang led Li Xiangdong and Mu Zi Qingmei back to the stone house, and arranged the two properly.
The autumn sun slanted in the west, and the afterglow sprinkled on the earth.
In the stone house.
"Brother Li, you have been running around for the past few days, and I really can't help it. ”
"You and my brother, you're welcome. ”
"It's all my own uselessness, otherwise I wouldn't have to work Brother Li. ”
"You don't have to blame yourself first, maybe you can find out the murderer of Ling Zun in a few days. ”
"I hope so! Long Huayang lowered his head, very disappointed in himself.
"In my opinion, although that person can kill Ling Zun, the injuries he suffered will never be light, if I am not mistaken, that person must still be in Guiyang City. Long Huayang thought to himself that Li Xiangdong was right, with his father's martial arts, would it be easy to kill him? ”
"Do you know the best medical clinic or pharmacy in Guiyang?"
"Yes. ”
"That's good! I'll go with you tomorrow. Long Huayang nodded, and Li Xiangdong resigned from Long Huayang and returned to his lodging to rest the night.
Mu Zi Qingmei has a habit, that is, to recognize the bed, she doesn't like to sleep in other people's beds, every time she goes to a new place, she can't fall asleep until the middle of the night, and she is the same tonight, she is still awake over and over again, she simply doesn't sleep, gets up and lifts the sword out of the house, comes to the empty place, and prepares to draw the sword to practice the "Qianyuan Imperial Dragon Jue".
Fatigue is one of the best ways to get people to sleep.
When Mu Ziqingmei pulled out the sword in her hand, she saw a figure on the right side, she thought to herself that this person was definitely not from Yelang Valley, otherwise how could he go over the wall? The figure paused in front of him, and as if sensing that someone was following him, he stepped up his pace and moved at full speed. Mu Zi Qingmei also followed, but the man did a very good job, leaving Mu Zi Qingmei far behind, Mu Zi Qingmei saw that the person was going to hide in the night, so she waved the sword in her hand casually, cut off a wooden branch, and hit the back of the figure directly, only to hear the sound of "hum", the figure paused, and quickly disappeared into the night. Mu Ziqingmei thought about the black shadow man just now, slowly returned to the bedroom, and fell asleep thinking about it.
Yelang Valley is a land of half martial arts and half farming, and although there are few disciples, it has a wide influence. Mu Ziqingmei got up early in the morning and saw many people in the valley engaged in farm work, a peaceful scene, without the slightest appearance of people in the rivers and lakes. Fanjing Mountain, as the leader of the martial arts, plays a leading role in the martial arts, Long Bayan was killed, Muzi Qingmei specially came to Yelang Valley to condole, but also in order to track down the murderer, his teacher Tang Yongfu advanced the day of the martial arts conference, and now she wants to go back to Fanjing Mountain to arrange the martial arts conference on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, so she came to say goodbye to Long Huayang, but when she entered the house, she saw seven or eight people discussing matters, she felt inconvenient and wanted to quit, but was stopped by Long Huayang.
"Miss Muzi, you also stay," Muzi Qingmei stopped in response.
"Brother Long, what happened?" asked Li Xiangdong.
"Last night there were thieves in our valley, and the top-grade He Shouwu left by my father was gone. ”
"Last night, could it be him?" Mu Ziqingmei remembered the dark shadow man last night, so she asked.
"Miss Muzi, have you seen this person?" Muzi Qingmei told everyone about her encounter with the Black Shadow Man last night, and everyone said that they must find out who this person is. In this way, if Mu Zi Qingmei withdraws now, it will inevitably cause misunderstanding, so she has to press the matter of resignation back and do her best to help everyone find the treasure.
"In this way, the black shadow man is fleeing in the direction of Guiyang, and we will go to Guiyang City, how about it?" Mu Ziqingmei discussed with everyone.
"Well, then that's it!" Long Huayang said that it was not appropriate for all the people in the valley to go, with Li Xiangdong, Muzi Qingmei and himself, he instructed the people in the valley to manage the affairs of the valley, not to be wasted, and the people in the valley received their lives.
Long Huayang said to Mu Ziqingmei: "The enemy who killed my father may be in Guiyang City, this trip is to find treasures, and the second is to find the enemy who killed my father." Muzi Qingmei understood what he meant, so the three of them traced the thieves all the way north to Guiyang City, they walked through Huaxi Village, Cattle Village, Gejiazhai, Caijiaguan Village, Gaicha Village, Baihuaping Villa and other large and small more than a dozen places, and asked many slightly famous pharmacies and medical centers, but did not get any progress, so the three of them were unhappy, thinking that they should not run in vain.
The plane trees on both sides of the avenue are arranged in an orderly manner, and occasionally a few yellowish leaves flutter down, which is even more sad when it falls on Long Huayang, Li Xiangdong and Mu Ziqingmei can only comfort him, and he nods his head and thanks to the two of them.
The three of them entered Guiyang City, and there were constant pedestrians in the city, so how easy was it to find a few people in the sea of people? But it was the enemy who killed his father, how could Long Huayang give up easily. They came to the foot of Qianling Mountain, entered the Peace Pharmacy and the People's Pharmacy, and asked if anyone who had been seriously injured had come to buy medicine or treat the sick, but none of the shops had returned, and it seemed that there was no hope of tracking.
After running around all day, the three of them also felt a little tired, so they went to the 'Luyan Inn' and stayed. They were not very satisfied with today's harvest, so they rested after the meal and did not say anything else.
There are a lot of people who live in the inn, three religions and nine streams, people from all over the world, all over the world. Mu Ziqingmei's habit of recognizing the bed still makes her roll all night and make it difficult to sleep. It was very late in the night, and she heard movement on the wall at the head of the bed, but when she listened closely, someone was wheezing, and occasionally there was the sound of crashing, which made her blood boil and her face red. She hugged the bed tightly and covered her head, the scream was still endless, so, she had not fallen asleep when she entered Yin from the ugly time, she had practiced the "Meditation Mantra", but when she heard this sound, she couldn't help but think about it, and when she got up the next day, she found that there was a wet place on the quilt where she slept, and she was secretly ashamed.
Tianming, Li Xiangdong, Mu Zi Qingmei and Long Huayang went to the inn dining area to eat, Mu Zi Qingmei thought about her sleep last night, so she didn't dare to look directly at Li Xiangdong and Long Huayang, and ate bean curd noodles with her head down. She raised her head to look at Li Xiangdong, but saw a person coming in from outside the door, four big men and a tall woman in yellow with protruding breasts. The boss was displeased when he heard the name and quantity of the dish, but for the sake of Tong Suo's undeceived signboard, he had to ask the helper to bring out five bowls of noodles and share them with the five people.
"Liangyan, we have been in Guiyang for several months, and there is still no progress on this matter, why don't we go back to the village first and then discuss?"
"I will never let go of the wicked, but I must not waste the affairs in the village, so let's do it, Ma Li and I will stay and continue to investigate, the three of you will go back to the village to manage the village first, no matter whether there is a result or not, we will meet at the Fanjing Mountain Martial Arts Conference on August 15. The woman in yellow spoke stiffly, her brows furrowed.
"That's fine!" the five of them quickly finished eating, and then hurried away.
Li Xiangdong, Mu Ziqingmei, and Long Huayang were very dissatisfied with yesterday's search results, so they put down their pace and walked slowly today, and the three of them came to the foot of Qianling Mountain.
"Young Valley Lord, since we have come here, we might as well go up to Qianling Mountain and take a closer look at the place where the old valley lord happened! Long Huayang nodded in agreement with Mu Ziqingmei's opinion, Li Xiangdong had never been to the scene of the incident, and now he also wanted to go up and have a look, hoping for any new clues.
The three of them walked up the zigzag steps of a hundred winding and circling, looking around from a distance, the leaves were luxuriant, and it seemed that they had not yet felt the arrival of autumn, and the macaques jumping up and down around them were playing back and forth, and after seeing the three of them, they ran far away. They arrived at the place where Long Bayan was killed, and although months have passed, the traces of the fighting around them are still faintly visible. The stone falls and the tree is broken, and the big tree leaves traces, all of which are three points into the wood. Long Huayang really didn't want to see the scene of his father's body being divided, so he would increase his sense of unfilial piety.
After Mu Ziqingmei carefully probed, she said: "Judging from the traces of the fight, the old valley lord and that person's skills are comparable, and the two of them have at least five hundred battles, I think the old valley lord will lose because of his age." ”
Li Xiangdong responded: "Yes, the old valley master is over his prime, and his physical strength is his biggest enemy. ”
Mu Ziqingmei said: "From the beginning to the end, there are no traces of weapon fighting, how can there be several sword marks here?" Mu Ziqingmei saw Long Huayang burst into tears, and Long Bayan was divided into corpses, and she already understood why there were sword marks. How could she bear to continue to ask such a painful thing, she could also see from her strength that the person who used the sword was not the one who defeated Long Bayan.
"If that person is also injured, then it is definitely not light, if you don't use good medicine, it may be difficult to heal in a short time," Li Xiangdong looked at the traces of the fight around him.
"Good medicine...... Medicine...... The high-grade He Shou Wu in my valley was stolen, is it ......?" Long Huayang hoped that his idea was wrong.
"We didn't ask for any useful news along the way, and if they didn't go off the beaten path, they had to steal. Mu Zi Qingmei remembered the dark shadow man that night.
These are just speculations.
"Miss Muzi, do you see the face of the dark shadow man in the night? ”
"Although the moonlight was white the night before, I didn't see the other party's face clearly, but the man was slender and long, and his body was like a branch, and his light skills were excellent. ”
"Could it be their ......?" Li Xiangdong pondered for a long time, "Is his light skill so fast?" With a whoosh, Li Xiangdong had already jumped onto the branch.
Mu Ziqingmei was surprised by Li Xiangdong's light skills, she didn't expect Li Xiangdong's light skills to be so good.
"No, but it's not much different. Li Xiangdong added the descriptions of Muzi Qingmei and Su Wen together, and the guess in his heart was already seven or eight points certain.
They left the saddle of the mountain and walked down the hill to the left, where they saw a lake below. The local people of this lake take the mountain as the name, call it "Qianling Lake", there are septuagenarian people fishing by the lake, the lake water is clear, sparkling scales, reflecting the sun, and let people appreciate the beauty of movement, but they have the mood of viewing, but go straight out of Qianling Mountain.
Li Xiangdong recalled the words of his master, Mr. Hongya, and said, "Brother Long, since we can't find this person, then we will wait for him to come to us." ”
"Huh?" Long Huayang and Muzi Qingmei were puzzled, Li Xiangdong told the two of them what he thought, and the two of them said that they could go back to Yelang Valley first, they ran to Guiyang City this time, although they didn't find the person they were looking for, but it was not completely without gain.
The remnant sun has been slanted, the clouds that are still in the west are burned as red as blood, the yellow clouds make people have to admire the magic of nature, and make people have an impulse to climb high and look at it again, no wonder the ancients have poems to praise it: to the evening is uncomfortable, drive to the ancient plain. The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.
Li Xiangdong, Long Huayang and Mu Ziqingmei rushed back to Yelang Valley in the evening, and the valley was quiet as usual, as if nothing had happened. For a few days, it was quiet.
On that day, it was July 30, and Muzi Qingmei had to leave Yelang Valley and return to Fanjing Mountain to prepare for the August 15 Martial Arts Conference, and it was with her to say goodbye to Li Xiangdong and Long Huayang.
Autumn is strong, and the autumn wind is getting tighter. Li Xiangdong and Long Huayang bid farewell to Muzi Qingmeidong, and both said goodbye on August 15. Li Xiangdong is free and easy by nature, and now Wen Zhiping is not very strict with him, and he promised Long Huayang to find out the real culprit for Long Huayang, so he stayed in Yelang Valley and did not return to Baicao Ranch.
When you can't find someone, isn't the best way not to look for them? When the time comes, he will naturally come to you.
Yoro!
"Muzi Li, the rising sun, Li Xiangdong" is an ordinary name, an ordinary person, he is no different from ordinary people. To put it mildly, he doesn't have any plans for his life, he doesn't even know what kind of person he will become in the future, and people who just know him may think he is cynical. His only virtue is his eagerness, he likes to help others, he pays more attention to others than himself, is he too nonexistent?
Li Xiangdong stayed in Yelang Valley for several days in order to help Long Huayang find the real culprit, and he had not made any progress in the past few days, he thought to himself, maybe the master was right, that person would appear above the martial arts conference.
Long Huayang couldn't find the real murderer so he practiced martial arts hard, he didn't care about the sect's opinions, and asked Li Xiangdong to accompany him to learn, Li Xiangdong naturally agreed.
In the past four or five days, they have all realized their martial arts attainments.
"Brother Li, your martial arts are so good, have you ever thought about becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance?"
"Martial Arts Alliance Master?" Li Xiangdong asked in surprise.
"That's right!"
"Forget it, I'm not that material, I can't come. ”
"Big brother, you have a helpful heart, why can't you be here? Isn't everyone choosing the leader of the martial arts alliance just to benefit the martial arts?"
"This is different, I am very easy to help people, but the leader of the martial arts alliance is very tired of doing things for the martial arts. ”
"Huh?" Long Huayang didn't seem to understand.
"'Not in his position, not in his politics', as a member of the martial arts, I should help others, this is my obligation, but as the leader of the martial arts alliance, I must do things for the people of the world, this is my responsibility. ”
"Isn't this the same, it's all for martial arts?" Long Huayang still didn't understand.
"To put it simply, if others are in trouble, I can help or not, and the leader of the martial arts alliance, as the leader of the martial arts, must help. ”
"Oh, it turns out that Brother Li wants to evade responsibility. ”
"Let's just say that, my personality is not suitable for being locked in one place every day, I like to wander around, so when others have something, they can't find me, do you think I'm still suitable to be the leader of the martial arts alliance?"
"It doesn't seem like a good fit, but I'd like you to try it. ”
"Try?"
"Yes, try!"
On the fifth day of the eighth month, Li Xiangdong and Long Huayang set off from Yelang Valley and went to Fanjing Mountain to participate in the martial arts conference.
