“...... They must be quite a few people in such a fanfare, as long as we send out manpower and closely reconnoiter all over Jiangning Fucheng, we will definitely be able to find clues. I suggest that all sects and factions immediately dispatch good men to form a monitoring team, which will take turns day and night to guard the gates and waterway entrances, and monitor all suspicious people......"

On the banks of the Qinhuai River, the old hero 'six-armed mantis' An Zhenkou's mansion was brightly lit, and the heads of the large and small sects of Jiangning Mansion and famous knights gathered together to discuss how to prevent the invasion of the Rohmanism. An Zhenkou's family study has a lot to do with the beast-shaped door, and he can be regarded as the outer disciple of the beast-shaped door. This time the division suffered, and he naturally became one of the conveners.

Bai Xian quietly entered the hall, glanced at it, and saw Sui Zhenfeng sitting on the third chair down from the right side of the main seat, listening intently to an old man. She slowly approached silently, stood behind her master, and handed a piece of paper to Sui Zhenfeng.

"Love has been broken, righteousness has been extinct, and all kinds of past events have become old thoughts, why do you want to work hard again?"

The writing was very messy, obviously hasty, but what made Sui Zhenfeng shake was the color of the words. Dark red, it was written with blood.

"Smack!", Sui Zhenfeng's face was full of anger, and he closed his palms heavily, closing the scribbled blood book in his palms. It's just that he didn't control his strength under the anger, and his voice was louder, attracting the eyes of the whole hall to this side.

"What is the opinion of the head of Sui? An old man who was interrupted by her asked with a look of displeasure. He was detailing the number of people selected by each sect in proportion to the number of people, but Sui Zhenfeng clapped his hands and disturbed his mind. Sui Zhenfeng froze and exhaled. Raised his seat and said: "I don't have any opinions, what Old Hero Tan said is excellent." This time, the Luomon Sect made a great move, obviously wanting to make a big fuss in Jiangning Mansion. Create unrest. Their numbers will certainly not be less. We can detect their whereabouts early by taking precautions and conducting reconnaissance closely. ”

The old man surnamed Tan heard Sui Zhenfeng echo his opinion, and his face eased down with unhappiness. Listening to Sui Zhenfeng continue: "However, reconnaissance and surveillance alone is not enough, once the movements of the Luomon Sect are discovered, how will we transmit the information as soon as possible?"

Glancing at the crowd in the audience, Sui Zhenfeng said: "I think it is imperative to do two things. 1. As the old hero Tan said, each faction will allocate manpower to act as a sentinel in proportion to the number of people and guard the entrances and exits of various places; 2. Establish a communication channel, and once the enemy attacks, you can notify other sects as soon as possible. ”

"Don't worry about the summons," a fat man sitting in the last two seats smirked triumphantly. Everyone looked sideways. It was You Ping, the head of "Needle Huatang", who spoke. "Acupuncture Hall" is half medicine and half martial arts, and he is unknown in the rivers and lakes, and there are few disciples in the door. It's just that now Jiangning Mansion is under enemy attack, and all forces need to be gathered. That's why I invited him over.

Everyone knows that Jiangning Mansion covers an extremely large area, and dozens of sects are scattered everywhere. It's always hard to move around each other. How to set up a warning mechanism so that the sect leaders within a radius of dozens of miles can learn the news as soon as possible. But it's a big problem. But this old man actually said that it was very easy to talk about it. I don't know what tricks he has to quickly get through the news.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, You Ping's face was full of red light, and he said with a smile: "Everyone doesn't believe it, right, I only say one thing, to make sure everyone is convinced." Everyone must have heard of this thing for a long time......"

"You Langzhong, if you have anything to say, it's an emergency now, what else are you selling. Someone sneered coldly. He didn't call You Ping 'You Zhangmen', but called him Lang Zhong, which was obviously contemptuous in his heart.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across You Ping's face. He coughed and said, "If you want to talk about the things that transmit alarms, what else in the world is faster than the 'Fire Leaf Talisman'?"

"Fire Leaf Talisman!" was changed to a group of heroes who were moved. This thing is a teleportation artifact, famous all over the world, who has not heard of it. But the fire leaf talisman is a secret treasure of the Qingtan faction in Hongzhou, how can outsiders easily get it. Even if the Qingtan faction is generous and willing to give, Hongzhou is thousands of miles away from Jiangning Mansion, and it is far away from the water that cannot save the near fire.

"Don't say anything that doesn't make sense. Someone said, "It's good to have a fire leaf talisman, but where did you get it in a hurry?"

"The good sect members learned that Qingkongzi, the head of the Qingtan faction, was a friend of the lower acquaintance, and he happened to be a guest in the house recently. You Ping was full of joy, got up and stood sideways, pointed to a Taoist sitting in the last seat, and said, "This is the Qingkong Zi Dao Chief." ”

Qing Kongzi smiled and stood up to salute everyone: "Everyone, it's polite." ”

"It turns out that this is the Qingkong Zidao Chief! Long admiration, long admiration! The old man has heard of the great name for many years, and today I finally see it. The master An Zhenkou's eyes lit up, and he got off the main seat and came to salute. "Just now, Master You didn't introduce you to you, alas, slack! ”

"The old hero has seen the outside. Qing Kongzi smiled and said: "Poor Dao came here to visit friends, and he just arrived in Jiangning Mansion yesterday. Unexpectedly, due to fate, it is really an honor to join forces with all the heroes here to fight the enemy. ”

"Where, where! Daoist Qingkongzi is too polite. Tan Xi, the old man who spoke before, laughed and left his seat to speak. "On the occasion of this great change, it is really fortunate that the Taoist can help solve one of our big problems. The people of Jiangning Mansion have received the blessing of the Taoist chief, which is really a blessing. ”

While talking, the heads of various sects and factions came over to greet each other. An Zhenkou introduced Qingkongzi one by one. When Sui Zhenfeng was introduced, Qingkongzi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Sui Zhenfeng carefully, and said: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the Jade Girl Peak is chivalrous and heroic, and the Qinglian Divine Needle does not let the women have eyebrows, and they are bold and generous. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. Head Sui, Qingkongzi is polite. After speaking, he made a deep sigh.

Sui Zhenfeng returned the salute and said with a smile: "The Taoist is too famous, compared with the famous Taoist leaders of the Qingtan faction, the reputation of the Jade Girl Peak is nothing." What's more, Daoist Qingkongzi has profound cultivation and strong spells, and he has long been well-known in the world. ”

The crowd laughed, sat down respectfully, and continued to discuss the plan without mentioning it.

After the meeting, it was the end of the night, and it was quite late. The heads of the several factions who lived far away stayed in the Anzhen Kou Mansion so that they could inform each other when the situation changed.

Sui Zhenfeng's room. The candlelight was always on, and she hadn't slept yet.

Bai Xian was also in the room. Stand at the bottom of the master. Sui Zhenfeng frowned tightly and looked at the blood book in his hand over and over again. Twenty words. The writing is urgent and sloppy, and it is extremely heavy. Although the words are messy, there are no dry strokes. The thick droplets of blood solidified into stains, and from beginning to end, the words were scarlet and eye-catching. Obviously, Qin Su was ruthless when he wrote it, and he did not spare his blood.

"She didn't want to come back, and she injured you?"

Bai Xian nodded, frowning with a pained expression. There was a bloody cut on her wrist that had been bandaged. Sui Zhenfeng held the note and stared at it for a long time. Silently, he stood up, walked to the window and stood still, staring blankly at the courtyard.

"Love has been broken, righteousness has been broken...... Su'er, are you really so ruthless?" The words seemed to turn into the stone of Mount Tai, and the heavy pressure on her heart.

"Master, shouldn't the disciple do something with the junior sister?" Bai Xian said with low eyebrows. After a while, I saw Sui Zhenfeng as if I hadn't heard of it. He also said: "But Senior Sister was about to go out of the door at that time, and the disciple was afraid that she would run away and never be found again, so he pulled her, but Senior Sister she ......" Bai Xian's voice fell. Gloomily spoke: "Maybe I was moving a little bit at the time, but senior sister, she should know, how could I really do it with her?"

Sui Zhenfeng closed his eyes tiredly. waved his hand and said secretly in his heart: "This kid." It's really changed......"

"Buckle—" There was a knock on the door.

Sui Zhenfeng was a little stunned, and said in a calm voice: "Come in." ”

A servant led a Taoist into the door. "Head Sui, someone asks to see you. When Sui Zhenfeng saw it, it was the Qingkong Zi he had seen in the hall.

"The head of Sui is looking at An. It was rude to take the liberty of visiting at night. The Taoist bowed, and Sui Zhenfeng resigned and invited him to sit down. Bai Xian knew that the two had something to discuss, and after apologizing to Qing Kongzi, she turned around and went out and closed the door.

The two briefly talked about some things about the rivers and lakes, and Qingkongzi hesitated and said, "Master Sui, Poor Dao is coming over this time...... Actually, there is something to ask. ”

"Why should the Taoist be so polite, please say it directly. ”

Qing Kongzi smiled and thought for a moment, and finally said, "Does Master Sui still remember...... Hu is not for this person?" Sui Zhenfeng's heart shook slightly. She looked at Qingkongzi with a little surprise: "Remember." ”

"I heard that a few years ago, the head of Sui once detained his soul...... Poor Dao wants to know, did he have any enmity with the head of the family?"

Sui Zhenfeng thought about it, and then told how he heard about the evil things of the Holy Hand Xiaoqinglong, and how he went to intercept and eliminate the harm.

After hearing this, Qingkongzi lowered his head and muttered: "Master Sui, could it be that the rumors are wrong? ”

"Dao Leader knows him?" Sui Zhenfeng raised his eyebrows.

"Three years ago, Poor Dao had a relationship with him, and at that time, he was just an ordinary village farmer. ”

"Country farmer? Not necessarily. Sui Zhenfeng sneered.

"Poor Dao traveled to Fenzhou three years ago and met Hu Shizhu in Dingma Village. At that time, he was indeed an ordinary farmer, and he had a wife at home......"

"Needless to say!" Sui Zhenfeng interrupted him, gasped a few times quickly, and said, "The village farmer can instrument the dragon form, and the two beasts of Ping Qiyan and Chen Guolao can't stop the power of its blow. The village farmer was able to summon the two spirit beasts of the Green Dragon and the White Tiger, and fight alone with a dozen Lomon demons without being scathed. The village farmer was able to kill dozens of heroes and then escaped capture for nearly a year. ”

"Right now, this village farmer doesn't know what evil magic he has used, and he has bewitched my disciples and cut off my affection. Qingkong Zi Dao Chief, may I ask, if there is such a powerful rural farmer, what do you want us to do who learn martial arts and spells?"

"Master Sui, don't be excited. Qing Kongzi smiled bitterly and said: "Poor Dao is here, not to ask for anything for Hu Buwei, but to have doubts in my heart, so I came to discuss it with the head of Sui." ”

"Dao Chief. Sui Zhenfeng didn't have a smile on his face, stood up, and stood with his hands in his hands. "The Taoist chief is famous all over the world, and the four seas are the same. Logically speaking, I should not doubt anything that the Taoist chief said. However, in this matter, there is absolutely no room for negotiation. This evil thief and my Jade Girl Peak do not share the sky, insult and kill my people, the evidence is conclusive, so I can only live up to the kindness of the Taoist. ”

Qing Kongzi didn't speculate when he saw the words, and knew that he couldn't convince this stubborn boss. With a sigh, he also stood up and prepared to take his leave.

Before going out, he asked, "But I don't know who told the head of Sui that it was Hu Buwei who killed the disciples of your sect?"

"When my disciple was out looking for medicine. Attacked by the thief. Two of the disciples were unwilling to be humiliated and committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, but they escaped the catastrophe by luck. They saw it with their own eyes. It was the green dragon that hurt them, you say. Who else in the world has such a thing except for Hu Buwei, this evil thief?"

"Oh, that's wrong!" Qing Kongzi slapped his thigh when he heard this.

"Does the head of Sui know how Hu Buwei's Qinglong came from?"

"I don't know, and I don't have to. ”

"What Master Hu Shi took was a nail, called 'Linglong Town Devil Nail'. It is a treasure that was lost hundreds of years ago by my Cheongdam faction. This nail only senses evil and does not hurt people. ”

"It doesn't hurt? Sui Zhenfeng sneered, "My disciple ......"

Aoza interrupted her: "This refers to the original state of the nails. But if an advanced refiner gets the nail, he can reopen the furnace. Drop blood into the deed and refine it into a powerful magic weapon. He looked at Sui Zhenfeng's eyes and said, "Just now, what the head of Sui said was a little different from the facts. Hu Shizhu is not the only one in the world who owns the green dragon. ”

Sui Zhenfeng's eyes widened and he looked at him in shock.

"There are a total of eight nails in Linglong Town, which were originally used to guard a tomb in Wutong Village, Fenzhou. But two years ago, all these nails were secretly picked up, and their whereabouts are unknown. He glanced at Sui Zhenfeng with a pair of clear eyes, and said slowly: "That is to say." In addition to Master Hu Shi, there are seven other people who can summon the green dragon. ”

It was dreary in the darkroom.

It would be more accurate to say that it is a dark room, rather than a dungeon.

A small bucket room. There are almost no furnishings, just a bed and a stool. The four walls are all made of fine iron, and access can only be through a gate that opens and closes on the top. And this secret entrance. It was hidden under a coffee table in the wing. If it weren't for careful inspection, you would never have found such an underground cell in the room.

It's already unitary time. The sun has turned westward. The wing room is in the shade, as the sky is approaching. The light in the room dimmed. A few faint rays of light shone through a small iron fence overhead, into the dark room, and cast onto two pale objects.

That's Hu Buwei's hand.

Qin Su was taking scissors to Hu Buwei to hinge his nails.

Hu Buwei's hands are very thin, the tendons are protruding, and the nails are also very short, so there was no need to repair them originally. But Qin Su stayed in the dark room and had nothing to do, so he had to use such trivialities to kill time. She carefully examined Hu Buwei's ten fingers, the dander, the edges of the nails, and the dirt in the lid, and cleaned them off little by little.

Hu Tan fell asleep, and fell beside Hu Buwei, still holding half a bunch of sugar-fried fruits tightly in his hand.

I don't know how long it took, and the little light cast on Hu Buwei's hand finally made it difficult for Qin Su to continue working. She sighed, looked up, and looked into Hu Buwei's eyes.

In the darkness, the outline of the face looms. Sharp, thin, as if precisely cut by an unknown magical force, the edges and corners are smooth and sharp. Qin Su looked at it in a daze, and couldn't see the moist light on that face with eyes flickering. She didn't ignite the fireball, and just sat still, sinking in her thoughts.

Someone came into the chamber. The sound of footsteps came from overhead, and the dark room buzzed a little.

"Miss Qin, I've brought you the food. ”

It was He Jiangzhou, he moved the coffee table, lifted the gate, and the dancing candlelight poured into the iron room. Qin Su silently took the plate of rice he handed down, but he didn't have an appetite to eat, so he put it on the stool. Listen to him say, "This afternoon, your master came to you again. ”

"How?"

"I almost got into a fight with my dad. ”

"Huh?!" Qin Su was taken aback and asked, "...... them Are you alright?

"Almost. He Jiangzhou's tone was extremely frustrated. "My father's temper is stubborn enough, I can't imagine that your master is even more stubborn...... I really didn't expect that there were such fiery people among women. ”

This is already the third time. Qin Su thought silently in his heart.

Since seeing Bai Xian that day, Qin Su wrote a blood book according to the plan, and then begged He Jiangzhou to change his room, expecting that after Bai Xian returned to the mountain to pay tribute, the master would definitely not give up, and would definitely come to Hejiazhuang to find him in person. But she never expected that the master's anger would be so great, and in the past seven days, the master had come here three times.

"Didn't she read the blood letter? It said that the enmity and enmity were broken...... Why doesn't she want to spare me?" Qin Su felt a little angry in his heart. I can't understand why the master hates himself so much, and he has to catch himself and then be willing.

That night, Bai Xian came up with the idea of leaving a blood book to be ruthless. Qin Su was still very hesitant. Because in this way, he will always draw a line with Jade Maiden Peak. She still has concerns in her heart. After all, that was the master who raised her for nineteen years. But Bai Xian said it very strongly. If he doesn't do this, the master will never give up, and will come over in person, kill the Hu family's father and son, and then arrest her back to the mountain and imprison her. At that time, heaven and man were separated forever, and the mandarin ducks flew apart...... Qin Su didn't dare to think of those terrible words anymore.

How could Qin Su be willing to let Hu Buwei be hurt again? Seeing that the date of soul shaping was getting closer and closer, no matter how big it was at this time, she could only give up for now.

There is no choice. Finally let Bai Xian cut her wrists, and Qin Su dipped her blood to write a letter. Every word is Bai Xian's guidance. Bai Xian was full of promises at the time, and said that after she went back, she explained to the master how the two of them did it, and she was careless and defeated by Qin Su's moves, and was pointed out by Qin Su. Then after writing the blood letter, he ran away with Hu Buwei, and he didn't know where to go.

Alas, alas. The conspiracy of the two still could not dissuade the master's hatred. She still has to find herself.

"What did she say?"

"She decided that we had detained you, insisted that we tell you what you were, and then tried to break into the room where you lived and search it. My dad said a word to her. She lost her temper and said that my father did not abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes and secretly hid the people of the Jade Girl Peak...... Of course, my father refused to accept this injustice. There was a quarrel, if there was no one to stop them at that time. I'm afraid something will happen sooner. ”

Qin Su was silent. I didn't know what to say for a while, and my mind was disturbed. The clue is complicated, and it is not only the words 'chaotic as numb'.

Fortunately, such painful days will not last long, and in three or four days, it will be over.

After He Jiangzhou left, the night turned deep, and the dog barked all night.

Then, another day passed.

Jiangning Mansion still maintains a semblance of calm. In addition to the various city gates and wharves, there are more sharp-eyed traders, inns and inns, and from time to time there are skilled people coming in and out, and this day looks no different from usual.

Between this inadvertently and inadvertently, three days passed away without a hurry. On the fourth day, the day that Qin Su was looking forward to finally arrived.

"Knock knock. Early in the morning, a big drum was beaten in front of Hejiazhuang to welcome guests. A long red felt cloth stretches from the lobby to the gate. More than a dozen lion dancers gathered in the empty field outside the door, performing hard. Inside the courtyard gate, dozens of musicians sat on both sides, playing the piano and drumming, taking turns to sing joy.

On this day, all the people who stayed in Jiangning Mansion in Hejiazhuang were called back to the village to help clean up the banquet.

Hejiazhuang is a well-known sect in the rivers and lakes, with hundreds of descendants, all of whom are assigned to establish foreign affairs halls in various prefectures and towns. The family business is big, the prestige is also obvious, such a famous family with a strong reputation, when welcoming distant guests, it is inevitable that there will be many extravagant scenes. Inside and outside the door, the lights are colorful, and the guests and guests come and go like ant colonies.

Of course, just like under the blue sky, there are always some small places with shadows. No matter when or where, there will always be unpredictable crises lurking. In the peaceful and joyful atmosphere of Hejiazhuang, several invisible undercurrents are also surging at the same time.

Outside the door, a group of onlookers gathered to watch the lively scene. In the crowd, a young woman dressed in gray watched the lion dance quietly.

At this time, under the old locust tree seven zhang away from the gate, there were two young men in shabby clothes, looking at the gate of Hejiazhuang absentmindedly. From time to time, his eyes slipped, and he only glanced at the waists of the surrounding crowd to see if there were valuable treasures and jade rings and other things.

"Tuanzi, did you find any sheep?"

The boy known as Dango was full of impatience: "No! ”

The other boy stopped talking, stretched his neck, and looked hard into Hejiazhuang.

"That girl won't be married in this door, right? Don't come out for the rest of your life, then our brothers will die here. He suddenly pulled a handful of dumplings: "Tuanzi, you say, this can't be their wedding banquet, right? ”

Tuanzi slammed a backhand on his head and scolded: "Are you a pig's brain? Can't you think about it, can you marry a daughter-in-law without playing a sedan chair? Can you not post some dragon and phoenix paper-cuts? Without these things, how can you be a daughter-in-law? No wonder the leader sent you to do this unproductive work." I'm also unlucky with you, I haven't even seen a copper plate in the past few days. So saying, he got up indignantly and walked out into the street.

"Hey—what are you doing?"

", eat. Tuanzi replied angrily.

"So what about here?"

"him so much. Eighty percent of the stinky girls died inside, and they didn't come out for so many days. I don't think she's so lucky to be able to go out in time for this meeting. ”

"Oh, I see. The young man suddenly realized, jumped up, and said, "Then I'm hungry too, so I'll find something to eat first." Catching up with the dumplings, the two of them shrank their heads, kicking and tapping far away.

When Tatsumi first made friends, the sun rose very high, and Hejiazhuang finally welcomed guests.

Luzhou 'Huo Mianzhang' Luan Junfang, Mizhou Hidden Dragon Cave Deacon Tao Qu, and 'Wind Travel' Ding Hui, all three of them are old man He's long-time friends. After many days of sleepiness, they finally arrived at Jiangning Mansion today.
