Chapter 43: Caught the Wrong Man

Li Xian went all the way down the river to a small town on the shore of Dongting Lake, and saw a group of people entangled outside a pawnshop. It turned out that the four bullies who were taught a lesson by Jiang Suyue on the shore of Dongting Lake last time took the jade smiling reclining Buddha that Jiang Suyue dropped last time and went to the pawnshop to pawn, but they were caught by two men wearing strange masks.

One of the masked men grabbed the bully and asked loudly, "Where did this thing come from?"

"Yes, it's my own," the bully replied timidly.

The masked man grabbed the bully man's shirt and lifted him up: "Don't pretend to be garlic for me, if you don't tell the truth again, I'll let you know that the Worry Hall is amazing"

When the bully heard this, his eyes widened, and he said in horror: "Ahhh

"That's right, if you don't give me an honest explanation, I'll kill you," the masked man asked.

When the other three men heard this, they also quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

The bully man also begged for mercy again and again: "Hero spare your life, spare your life, I'll tell the truth, tell the truth, I picked up this thing."

"Where did you pick it up?" Tell me, if you dare to tell half a lie, you will be abolished immediately," the masked man asked sternly.

"Yes, yes, I said, I said, it was from the female disciple of the Donghu Sect, Jiang Suyue," the bully man confessed honestly.

The masked man gave away the bully's clothes, took the jade into his arms and said, "Donghu faction? If Nid dares to tell half a lie and reveal half a sentence about it to others, I will let the four of you go to Hades. Don't get out of here," said the two of them, turning to leave.

Li Xian stood in the distance and saw that the people from the Elimination Hall of Worries were going to the Donghu Sect, so he quietly followed behind, wanting to see what was going on. As the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind, all this was sent by Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of the Great Liang Dynasty, to find the samurai who pushed the back map, and they hid on the side and saw it clearly. The samurai swooped down on the back like the yellow finch and quietly followed, ready to take advantage of the fisherman.

When Jiang Suyue took Yi Dan and Youming and returned to the Donghu Sect's Great Cloud Temple together, it was already dark. After dinner, Jiang Suyue said in order to make Yi Dan's stay more comfortable: "Sister Dan'er, we didn't sleep well at the table last night, you can rest in my room today, I'll go and squeeze it with Master."

"Sister Su Yue, how can this be embarrassing? Either I'll sleep on the table," Yi Dan said.

"No, everyone is tired after a long day's running, I hope you can all sleep comfortably at night. I arranged Brother Youming in the room next to you, and you can sleep in my room too, it's okay," Jiang Suyue said.

"This, this is so embarrassing, if you don't dislike Sister Suyue, you can squeeze it with me," Yi Dan said.

"It's okay, I was brought up by my master, it's okay to squeeze her, and my master has also explained that you have come from afar, you can't be lazy" Jiang Suyue said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll wronged you, Sister Su Yue, I'm really sorry, I took your place," Yi Dan said.

"It's okay, that's how it should be, who made you my sworn sister, right? Then you should rest early, and early tomorrow morning, I will take you to the Jingyu Sect on the north bank of Dongting to visit my Uncle Li," Jiang Suyue said.

"Well, thank you, Sister Suyue," Yi Dan said with a smile.

When it's ugly, when everyone is sleeping soundly. Two black-clothed masked men flew up the wall to the Great Cloud Temple. According to the topography and the setting of the five elements of heaven, earth and man, yin and yang inherent in Taoism, they accurately found the disciple's room on the right side of the side hall, and carefully pushed open the window to look in. Seeing Yi Dan sleeping soundly in the room, the man in black mistakenly identified this person as Jiang Suyue, a disciple of the Donghu Sect. So he gently closed the window, pierced the window paper, and reached into a bamboo pipe to blow in the ecstasy incense.

After a while, Yi Dan fell asleep under the power of the Ecstasy incense. The two of them broke into the door lightly, packed Yi Dan in a sack, and took advantage of the darkness to carefully carry him down the mountain.

Li Xian quietly followed the two all the way to the foot of the Taoist Mountain, and because it was inconvenient to trespass into the Taoist temple, he hid nearby to observe. After a while, I saw the two of them carrying a ** bag out, and intuitively knew that there must be something wrong with it, so I continued to quietly follow the two to take a peek.

After a while, the two of them carried the sack to a ruined temple, opened the sack, and tied Yi Dan's hand. brought a basin of cold showering and poured it on Yi Dan's head, and after Yi Dan was woken up by cold water, he still felt groggy. By the dim moonlight, he looked around with confused eyes.

"Tell me, where is the Peony Fugui Map?" a man's voice came from front of him.

Yi Dan raised his head groggily, saw the two masked men in front of him, thought he was dreaming, so he said: "This dream is really unlucky, why is there water everywhere, and there are two people who look so ugly." Hey, let's have a better dream," he said, and fell down drowsily.

"Slap" The masked man stepped forward and slapped Yi Dan in the face, and asked loudly, "Tell me where is the Peony Fugui Map?"

Yi Dan woke up after being slapped, and suddenly felt a hot pain, she shuddered, looked at the masked man in front of her, and asked with some fear: "Who are you? Why did you beat me?" She wanted to struggle, but found that her hands and feet were tied, so she believed that everything was true, and immediately came to her senses, and asked the two masked men: "Who are you? Why are you arresting me?"

"It doesn't matter who we are, let's talk about it, where is the Peony Fugui Map?" asked the masked man.

"What peony is rich? I don't know what you're talking about, who are you, what is this place?" Yi Dan asked with a look of horror and confusion.

"You don't need to pretend to be garlic, if you don't hand it over, I want you to look good" The man took out a dagger and gestured at Yi Dan's face: "You are a young woman, if you pull your face up with dozens of cuts, what do you say? Tell me quickly, where is the thing? You're welcome if you don't let me."

"Who are you? If you don't say it, I won't say anything" Yi Dan was confused, and wanted to use this to reveal the other party's identity.

"Well, it's okay to tell you, anyway, no one in the rivers and lakes knows the details of our worries," the masked man said.

"So you're the ones from the Hall of Sorrows?" Yi Dan asked suspiciously.

"That's right, you're scared, right? Now that we know who we are, we should tell you where the peony fortune map is, right?" the man threatened.

"I've heard a long time ago that the people in your Worry Hall are all martial arts people who sell their conscience for some money, may I ask which faction you two belong to?" Yi Dan sneered.

"Don't talk to me, avoid the important and light, let me ask you, where are you hiding the peony wealth map?" the man asked again.

"I've seen a picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix, a picture of ten thousand horses galloping, a picture of a tiger descending the mountain, and a picture of the immortal Weng's birthday, but I haven't seen any peony wealth picture. Are you misunderstanding?," Yi Dan asked.

"Misunderstanding, it's impossible, you don't pretend to be garlic. On the sixth day of the first lunar month last month, you stole this book in the Lu Mansion in Tanzhou, along with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. Someone saw with their own eyes that it was Jiang Suyue, a disciple of your Donghu Sect, who did it, do you still have to quibble? What do you think this is?" With that, the man took out the jade smiling Buddha and put it in front of Yi Dan.

Only then did Yi Dan understand that Jiang Suyue was really the female thief of Dongting who was rumored by the common people. Maybe he slept in Jiang Suyue's room tonight, so the two people in front of him misunderstood themselves as Jiang Suyue. But you can't tell them that you have arrested the wrong person, isn't this letting them continue to arrest Jiang Suyue, the smart Yi Dan began to deliberately pull back and forth and said: "That's right, the Peony Fugui Map is here with me, but I want to negotiate a condition with you"

"What conditions do you want?" the man asked.

"I want to know how much money the people who asked you to arrest me gave you, I can double it for you," Yi Dan said cleverly in order to delay time and find a way to escape.

The man thought for a moment and said, "That... So, how much can you afford?"

"You can't do this, the hall master has rules, if you accept money from your employer, you can't take money from the other family, otherwise we will be hunted down by the Worry Hall," another man reminded.

"That's right. Our purpose is for money, but we can't ask for your money, as long as you hand over the Peony Rich and Noble Map, we will never hurt you, what do you think?" the man said.

"Hmph, do you still want to hurt me if you treat me like this?" Yi Dan asked.

"And what do you want us to do to you?" the man asked.

"Hurry up and untie me, eat and drink and wait," Yi Dan said ghostly.

"No, don't think I don't know what tricks you're trying to play," said the other man.

When Yi Dan was arguing with the three of them, Li Xian had quietly come to the gate of the broken temple, heard Yi Dan's voice, and moved inside a little cautiously. Seeing that Yi Dan was tied to the ground and soaking wet, he was very embarrassed, so he quickly pulled out the sword in his hand and stabbed at the two without saying a word.

The two were caught off guard, were caught off guard, and fled in two. Of course, it is not possible to chase two rabbits at the same time, Li Xian stared at one person and chased after him, and in three or two moves, he unloaded his weapon and grabbed his neck. At this time, a poisonous dart flew from nowhere and killed the man.

Li Xian let go of the man, came to Yi Dan, and cut the rope from her hand with a sword. Only then did Yi Dan see clearly that it was Master Lixian, and shouted in surprise: "Master, how could it be you, why are you here?"

"Your sister is worried about your safety, so let me take a look at your situation. Luckily, I arrived just in time, how could you mess with someone from the Hall of Sorrows?" asked Rixian.

"No, Master, it's that they caught the wrong person, they originally wanted to find Sister Jiang Suyue of the Donghu Sect, and it happened that I slept in her room tonight, so I was arrested by these people," Yi Dan said.

"The Hall of Anxiety is mysterious, and there are some masters in it. They don't show up easily, and when they do, they either kill people or investigate particularly important black cases, why are you so careless?" asked Rihyun.

Yi Dan loosened the restraints of his hands and feet, came to the masked man and asked, "This man is dead, did you kill him?"

"As soon as I caught him and wanted to ask him, he was secretly shot with a poison dart, and it seems that there must be some conspiracy behind this matter," Rihyun said.

"Master, I once heard you say that many of the people in the Anxiety Hall were originally well-known and decent, so let me see who this person is."

After that, Yi Dan came to the man's side, stretched out his hand to take off his mask, carefully identified it in the moonlight, and said in surprise: "Oh, Master, come and see, isn't this the Dongchuan sect disciple we met on the way when we went to Youzhou to participate in the martial arts conference last time?"

Li Xian came over and looked at it and said, "Yes, it's that Dongchuan sect disciple."

"Oh my God, Master, what's going on?" Yi Dan asked.

"The rivers and lakes are dark, and the hearts of the people are dangerous. What you see on the surface is often not the same thing as what you actually see," said Lixian.

"The last time I heard this man criticize the Great Virtue Sect so righteously, I thought he was some kind of righteous gentleman. I didn't expect to do such an unsightly deed. Master, what exactly do these Anxiety Elimination Halls really do, are they really that powerful?" Yi Dan asked.

"According to the Elimination of Worries, the most difficult black errands on the rivers and lakes are specially handled, and then handed over to the martial arts people from all walks of life who voluntarily join the Elimination of Worries Hall, many of these people are actually famous and decent on the rivers and lakes, but for the sake of a lot of money, they all take the black errands with a clear conscience. When you have earned enough money, quit, bleach yourself, and continue to be a hero in the rivers and lakes. And the master of the hall of dissipation is mysterious. No one including the people under him who picked up the black messengers knew what he looked like," Rihyun said.

"Master, you told me before, I didn't believe it yet, I didn't expect to really encounter this this time," Yi Dan said.

"The saying of the Sorrow Hall to the employer is that as long as the matter is handed over to them, all the sorrows are eliminated, so it is called the Sorrow Hall. They also sent me an invitation, but I declined. Unexpectedly, even the disciples of the Dongchuan faction secretly took over the black difference of the Worry Hall, it seems that something big is going to happen again in this Jianghu," Li Xian sighed.

"What's going to happen, Master, do you know?" Yi Dan asked.

"I don't know, I don't think it's that simple," Rikhyun said.

"It's not good, it seems that Sister Su Yue is really in trouble this time," Yi Dan said anxiously.

"What did this Jiang Suyue do? The people who provoked the Worry Hall also want to arrest her?" asked Li Xian.

"I don't know exactly what's going on, but I heard them just now, it seems that Sister Suyue stole one of their paintings. They're here to track it down," Yi Dan said.

"Well, maybe it should be a martial arts cheats. Anyway, it must be something very important, otherwise the owner would not have asked someone from the Hall of Worries to track it down," Rixian said.

"Master, then do you want to go back to Donghu with me to investigate this matter?" Yi Dan asked.

"You go back first, the Hall of Worries didn't catch anyone, and I will definitely go to the Donghu Sect again. You have to go back and tell that Jiang Suyue to be careful," Lixian said.

"Okay, what about you, Master?" Yi Dan asked.

"I'm going to check this hall again, what do you want to do when you come to Dongting Lake this time. But it's best to hide in the shadows and check out. Competing with this kind of dark forces in the rivers and lakes, it will be too passive in the open, and if your identity is exposed, I am afraid that you will get into trouble in the future," Li Xian said.

"Well, Master, you have to be careful, oh yes, I'll tell you a secret," Yi Dan said.

"What's the secret?" asked Rihyun.

"Originally, I promised Sister Su Yue not to tell others, but Master, you are not an outsider, so I will tell you. In fact, Sun Yandeng, the former head of the Chuyun faction, is an old senior, he is not dead, but he doesn't want to come into contact with people in the rivers and lakes, so he lives in seclusion in Yuelu Mountain."

"Are you saying that the eldest grandson Yanden is not dead yet?" asked Rixian in surprise.

"Yes, Master, I met the elder grandson in Yuelu Mountain with Sister Su Yue during the day today," Yi Dan said.

"The eldest grandson Yandeng has had dealings with my master and even my ancestor, and I also met him when I was young, and it is rumored that he has already passed away. If I'm still alive, I'm afraid I'll be nearly 100 years old," Rikhyun said.

"That's right, the eldest grandson's predecessor did have all gray hair and beard, but he was old and strong with profound skills. I don't know if this matter has anything to do with him, if Master wants to investigate, maybe this eldest grandson and elder can help him," Yi Dan said.

"Well, I know, you go back carefully, let Ming'er be careful, I will find out, and naturally go back to Dayunguan to find you" Lixian said.

"Well, Master, you have to be careful."

With that, Yi Dan turned around and left the broken temple, and the two left separately.

And the man who escaped just now took advantage of the moonlight to flee to Dongting Lake in embarrassment and jumped onto a fishing boat. On the fishing boat, a man in black armor and a multicolored mask turned around and asked, "How is it?

The man knelt down on one leg and said: "Hall Master, I have already caught someone, but just now I killed a master halfway, rescued people and left, and that person also caught Senior Brother Wu Da"

"What? two wastes, not enough to succeed and more to lose, and the reputation of my Sorrow Hall is lost in your hands," said the hall master angrily.

"But I have already got rid of Wu Da in time, they shouldn't have revealed any secrets, and they have also recovered this piece of jade" The man offered the jade and smiled at the reclining Buddha.

The man in the colorful mask took the reclining Buddha jade, and said lightly: "Waste, you can't do anything at all, what's the use of keeping you?"

"It's really two pieces of waste, it looks like I'm going to have to do it myself this time. Hmph, Donghu Sect, I have a way to clean you up" The master of the hall looked at the Jade Smile Reclining Buddha with his hand, and stood on the boat and muttered to himself coldly.

The sparkling Dongting Lake was covered with a faint mist, revealing a hint of chill under the hazy moonlight.
