Chapter 117 Masters Gather in the Same Direction A New Chapter of Minjiang Disputes
On the way back, Mingzi asked Yu Yan and said, "I don't think the two young ladies of the Qiao family seem to be very good at martial arts. ”
Yu Yan said: "My eldest brother is tired of the disputes in the rivers and lakes, and he has long wanted to retire, so he didn't teach them martial arts. ”
Mingzi said: "In this case, wouldn't it be a burden for you to come out to find the murderer and take them with you?"
Yu Yan said: "My eldest brother was killed by the Unrepentant Sect for the dart of Chizuru, and I am worried that they will be implicated. If I stay in Jinan, I am even more worried. ”
Akiko had already learned from the beggars about what had happened. At that time, above the mourning hall, Yu Yan had already pointed out that Qiao Yisheng was escorting for Qianhe, and this matter was heard by the heroes below, so it was naturally known by the beggars. Mingzi said: "Didn't the Thousand Crane God Sect give an explanation?"
Yu Yan thought about it, the Thousand Crane Divine Sect had a lot to do with Shaolin, and Mingzi was born in Shaolin, so he shook his head.
Yuyan and Mingzi returned to the inn with the leader of the black lion. They handed the man over to the rich merchant and told him that he was an accomplice of the bandits. The rich merchant was very happy that he had escaped the catastrophe, and on the one hand he asked his subordinates to report to the officials and put them in prison, and on the other hand, he had to take out a lot of silver to thank Mingzi. Akiko refused.
When the Qiao sisters saw Yu Yan coming back with Mingzi, they settled down in their hearts. Although they knew that Yu Yan was a top master like his father, they were still very worried whenever Yu Yan traveled alone. Especially Qiao Yao'er, who has been standing in front of the window and waiting. It's Xiaoshan, who talks with rich businessmen, but also very close to each other.
After a night of tossing, the sky was already bright. Yu Yan explained the next stop to the Qiao family sisters. Before noon, together with Akiko, the four of them set off. It just so happened that the wealthy merchant was also going to Minjiang City and stopped by with them, so he had to go with Yuyan and Mingzi no matter what. They knew that the rich merchant was frightened by the black lion and their robbers, and hoped to seek protection from them. Since they were on the way, the two did not refuse the rich merchants, and this group of people set off in a majestic way-
Out of Buyun City, the biggest towns on the road are a few towns. But the scenery here is different from the north, and there is a different view. The rich businessman often took this route, so he was naturally more familiar with it than Yu Yan. Along the way, he played a cameo role as a guide, introducing a lot of beautiful scenery and novel plays.
The Qiao sisters were having fun. Yu Yan accompanied the two of them, and when she saw that Yao'er had regained her smile, she was naturally slightly relieved.
Since Mingzi and Yuyan are going together, it is up to their progress. In this way, on this day, a group of people finally came to Minjiang City-
Minjiang City is much larger than Buyun City, and there are only several caravans of the size of rich merchants entering the city at the same time. After entering the city, the rich merchant wanted to go to the store to deliver the goods, so he said goodbye to Yuyan and Mingzi.
After bidding farewell to the wealthy businessman, Yu Yan asked Mingzi, "You can arrange for someone to pick you up here in advance." ”
Mingzi said: "The master arranged one person. I can take you to him. ”
Yu Yan said: "Then let's find an inn first, settle down, and then let's go together, how about it?"
Mingzi knew that he was not worried about the Qiao family's sisters, so he followed Yuyan.
After settling down, Yu Yan said goodbye to the Qiao family sisters for the time being, because Mingzi was going to pick up someone-
Yu Yan asked, "Who did Abbot Xuan Jing arrange to receive you here?"
Mingzi said: "It's Zuojiang scholars who are arranged." ”
Yu Yan thought about it, this Zuojiang scholar had heard of it himself, and he also knew from the East China Sea Yusu that the two of them went together with Mingshan Dajian to arrest Guo Lou Master. It seems that this Zuojiang scholar has a close relationship with the fishermen of the East China Sea. In the Ziyun Taoist Temple, he killed the seven sons of Ziyun who had a good relationship with him in front of the fishermen in the East China Sea, and injured the fishermen in the East China Sea, which can be regarded as a bond with him. Come to think of it, this Zuojiang scholar should have heard the news, so he wouldn't be kind to himself.
Yu Yan doesn't care about these people, but he doesn't care if he cares, but he won't be stupid enough to forget the relationship between these people. In fact, he is quite tired of forming gangs like this, but the rivers and lakes are like this, everyone gets together according to different purposes or reasons to form factions. With factions, there are entanglements of interests, and whispering feathers is a very boring thing. But he also had to fortify. Just like this road and Mingzi, he feels very close to talking to himself, but he also remembers that this person is from Shaolin, and he is on the same front as the Thousand Crane Divine Sect that he dislikes. Therefore, he was also on guard in his heart.
Yu Yan said to Mingzi: "If you see Zuojiang scholar for a while, please don't introduce my identity." ”
Akiko scratched her head and said, "That's okay." ”
Yu Yan said: "Is it because 'monks don't speak', so Master Mingzi is a little embarrassed?"
Akiko said: "That's not true. It seems that there is a reason for the feather donor, and if you can help the feather donor, you don't have to talk about these precepts. ”
Yu Yan said: "Master Mingzi is really open. I have offended some people in the rivers and lakes, so in order not to affect this investigation of Minjiang's 'ten no martial arts', it is better to hide my identity. ”
Mingzi said: "Since Lord Yu thinks so, then I will follow your wishes." But how do I introduce you?"
Yu Yan said: "You just said that I am a doctor of Youfang, we met by chance, and you invited you to come here together." ”
Mingzi said: "That's fine. ”
While they were talking, a man came running from a distance. Yuyan didn't recognize it, but Mingzi did. He smiled.
Yu Yan was a little surprised. Although he hadn't had much contact with Mingzi before, he couldn't have imagined that such a sturdy monk would have such a warm smile on his face.
Yu Yan has always disliked monks. In his opinion, monks are mostly people who follow the rules, are full of precepts, have conservative thinking, and are boring, just like the Fahai monk in the play. And the Taoist priest has nothing to do with himself, alchemy and medicine all day long, and is bent on feathering and ascending to immortal. Therefore, Yu Yan can go far and far for monks. But Monk Mingzi was different from the monks he knew. He ignores the precepts, which is different from other monks. What's even more rare is that he doesn't have to restrict others without precepts, and respects the wishes of others to the greatest extent. Moreover, he helped others with righteousness and repaid his kindness, just because the rich businessman stayed with him for a night, he took action to save people. So Yu Yan has a good impression of Mingzi. Now seeing the expression on Mingzi's face, the heart of this monk Mingzi is alive, but he is a sound person.
Following Mingzi's gaze, Yu Yan saw a girl dressed in red coarse cloth in the distance. She has a round face, small eyes, and her eyes are squinted when she smiles, and she looks very festive. She ran towards Akiko, a jet-black braid swaying from side to side behind her. She was holding an eyebrow-high stick in her hand and carrying a cloth bag on her back.
When she ran closer, Akiko grabbed her. He looked at Yu Yan embarrassedly and said, "This is the tiger girl, my love." ”
Although Yu Yan was prepared for Mingzi's disobedience to the rules and precepts, he was still taken aback by all this. He just nodded and said yes. Mingzi introduced Yu Yan to Hu Niu again, but he didn't say that he was killed by Ling and ranked among the top ten masters.
Yu Yan asked Mingzi, "Will it be dangerous for her to follow us?"
Hu Niu shook the eyebrow-raising long stick in her hand and said, "I'm not afraid." ”
Mingzi felt that what Yu Yan said made sense. He said, "Why don't you go to the inn and settle down first, and we'll go and find out the situation before we make the next move." ”
Yu Yan felt that the Qiao family sisters could rest assured that they could be relieved that they were accompanied by tiger girls, so they also agreed with this decision.
So even if the tiger girl didn't agree anymore, she couldn't resist Mingzi and was taken to the inn. Fortunately, she and the Qiao sisters hit it off at first sight, and soon became the eldest sisters of the two.
Akiko asked her, "Did I let you go and get something with you?"
Hu Niu said: "Brought it." Then he took a bag from his cloth pocket and handed it to Akiko.
This brocade bag is exquisitely embroidered and the materials are exquisite, and it doesn't look like the things on Mingzi and Tiger Girl. Mingzi saw that Yuyan was suspicious, so he said, "This is a treasure given to me by an old man I know." ”
With that, he opened the bag and revealed its contents. I saw that this thing was made of pure copper, with a flat and round shape, which was very exquisite. Yu Yan had never seen this thing, so he was very curious.
Akiko explained, "This was given to me by the medicine master I worshipped. His old man's surname is as his name suggests, and he is a retired master. "Yu Yan hasn't heard of Gu Si either.
This is not surprising either. The Gu family is a well-known chaebol in the rivers and lakes, but the person who spoke was Gu Si's younger brother Gu Li. And Gu Si lived in seclusion in Taihang Mountain in his early years, specializing in medicinal herbs, and even Zhong Kunlun of Black Dragon Village at that time didn't know his details, so it was normal for Yu Yan to never hear of this person.
The Qiao family sisters were also watching. Xiao Shan asked, "What is this thing for?"
Mingzi smiled and pressed the tension spring, and the small copper box "clicked" open. Akiko dipped her fingers in the tea on the table, tapped the middle mechanism with her fingertips, and wiped the tea on it. Then he closed the mechanism and turned the dial on it, so that the arrow pointed at the word "tea".
Xiao Shan still didn't understand. Hu Niu smiled and said, "There will be results soon." ”
As soon as the words fell, the pointer on the copper box "snapped" and turned. It turns out that this dial is engraved with a unicorn and a beetle snake. Now, the pointer points to the unicorn pattern.
Xiao Shan was even more misty, and she asked, "What does this mean?"
Yu Yan was more experienced, and he asked, "Is this a drug testing agency?"
Akiko smirked, "So to speak. But it would be more accurate to say that this organ can detect whether the test contains other components. If it is pointed at the unicorn, there is no other ingredient. If it is pointed at the beetle snake, it means that there are other ingredients. ”
This treasure, the only one in the world, is carefully made by Gu Si. Therefore, even Yu Yan was very surprised.
Mingzi said: "With this thing, I hope to solve the unsolved case here in Minjiang." (To be continued.) )
