Chapter 39: The Legend of Martial Arts (I)

When the girl heard Gao Yunda say this, she hurriedly asked, "Uncle Gao, do you know why Fang Mian hasn't made a move in the past few years?" Gao Yunda looked at Zhang Linxin with a smile, "When everyone was young, they were all full of enthusiasm, thinking of chivalry and righteousness, making a name for themselves, which is admirable and admirable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 As soon as info mentions it, they all give a thumbs up and praise, which no one is exempt from. Fang Mian, the old man, is naturally no exception, he is a person who cherishes face very much, after the retreat is completed, he just happened to encounter Nangong Extinction raging the Central Plains Martial Arts, so he took Nangong Extinction to eliminate the harm for the martial arts. After defeating Nangong and becoming the number one in the world, who else in this world can fight with him? He thinks very highly of himself, and ordinary people are naturally not worthy of his shot, as for other reasons, I can't guess. ā€

"But seniors, my master and Liu Zhongyuan's predecessors both respect Fang Daxia very much and admire him as a person, why do you have different opinions?" Dugu Jian finally asked the doubts he had buried for a long time.

"How do you say this? Fang Mian is a bit arrogant and cares about face, but he is still not confused at all on the issue of right and wrong. Judging from his efforts to fight Nangong Annihilation, he is also a good man who is dedicated to the country. But I have never been in contact with him after all, and I can't judge him as a person. Your master and Liu Zhongyuan have deep friendships with Fang Mian, so they may know more, I think this is the reason why we don't have the same opinion. ā€

Hearing Gao Yunda say this, Dugu Jian and Zhang Lin nodded in understanding. Yes, Liu Qingzhou and Liu Zhongyuan admired Fang Mian and praised him for his chivalrous courage, which did not conflict with Zhang Rumeng and Gao Yunda saying that he cherished his reputation. At their age, they are all well-known figures in the rivers and lakes, they will be cautious in what they say and do, and they will not easily evaluate anyone and everything, after all, it is not only about personal reputation, but also about more people who may believe it. So the more people like this, the more they know what to do and what to say.

"Uncle Gao, when Brother Dugu and I were in Wuyi Mountain, I heard that killer say that Fang Daxia was the first sword of their Five Colors Sect and their sect leader, and we were in a hurry last time, so I didn't have time to ask you, now we want to know what the hell is going on?"

Gao Yunda touched his beard, "Huh, this is strange, the Five-Color Sect actually wants to serve Fang Mian as the master, interesting, it seems that the Five-Color Sect poured this basin of dirty water on Fang Mian, there must be some conspiracy, did you talk to Fang Mian when you were on Huashan?"

"That's not true, after all, this matter is very important, if you don't fully grasp it, I think it's better not to tell Fang Daxia first. Dugu Jian said categorically. "Yes, you two did the right thing, no matter what kind of conspiracy there is, we have to find out about it, you are right not to tell Fang Mian. Gao Yunda agrees with the approach of the two.

"Uncle Gao, you haven't told us yet, how did you get here?

"After I separated from you that day, I returned to Lin'an City alone, and I visited the city for three or four days in a row, but I didn't get any clues about the treasure map. Just as I was about to give up, I learned a very strange piece of news from a beggar friend. ā€

"What's the news? Is it related to the treasure map?"

"Well, he told me that in the days after the Liu Zhongyuan came to Lin'an, there were suddenly many people in the city who spoke with accents from the Jinghu area, and all of them were very strong. They didn't do anything, they just walked around there every day, as if they were stepping on points, but they didn't attack any of the families in the Zhangfu area. Later, just one day before Zhang's house was raided, these people disappeared as if they had suddenly disappeared. ā€

"Wandering around my house, stepping on a point?" Zhang Lin was a little surprised, she thought about it carefully, "But nothing happened in those days." Dugu Jian was also confused, and he didn't know the situation at all.

Gao Yunda shook his head, "Yes, this is the most strange place, and these people are all Jinghu accents, I began to think that it was a disciple of the Hengshan faction sent by Dugu Boy, who was watching at your house, but then I thought about it but felt that it was wrong, Dugu Boy said that he went down the mountain alone and did not bring anyone with him." And they arrived in Lin'an significantly earlier than Dugu Boy. Besides, those people are obviously much older than your Hengshan Sect disciples, so I rule out this possibility. ā€

"Uncle Gao, could that be another sect in the Jinghu area?" the girl asked, Dugu Jian didn't wait for Gao Yunda to answer, and said first: "Impossible, the gangs in the Jinghu area, except for our Hengshan faction, are mostly in decline, and the slightly better ones are the two dart games, in addition, there are only a group of monks from Kaifu Temple and the Taoist priests of Jiuzhi Mountain, they can't come here, and they have no motive." So, there must be something strange in this!"

Gao Yunda nodded, "Well, the analysis is very reasonable, and I thought so at the time." Therefore, I inquired in many ways, and finally got some sporadic news from the mouth of a foot trader that he had seen many big men with Jinghu accents on the day of the raid of Zhang's mansion, and after resting in a teahouse on the northern outskirts of Lin'an City, he went north. So, I followed this clue and chased it all the way north. It's a pity that after crossing the Huai River, there is no news of these people, and they seem to have disappeared all of a sudden. ā€

"Senior, do you mean to suspect that these people have taken the treasure map?"

"Even if they weren't, they must know something, and the whereabouts of these people are really suspicious. If they have nothing to do with the treasure map, I absolutely don't believe it. ā€

"Uncle Gao, haven't you found any clues since then?"

"Now that there are rebels in the north, and there are constant wars, it is not easy to find people in this situation. I checked in Huaibei and Henan for more than ten days, but there was still no news, so I repaired a letter and asked someone to send it to Wu Daquan, the leader of the Huaibei Liding Gang, and asked him to help keep an eye on this group of people, and I hurried to Huashan to meet you and see how the situation on Huashan was. ā€

The three of them talked for a long time, and finally explained to each other what they had experienced in the past month. But there is still no useful clue about the whereabouts of the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map". Gao Yunda asked again: "Dugu boy, just now you said that the tragedy of the Qiu family in Fangzhou may be related to Baotu, do you have any clues?"

Dugu Jian replied: "It's not sure yet, it's just that Lin'er's brother once secretly heard someone mention that he was going to Qiu's house to ask about the whereabouts of Baotu, if Old Man Qiu didn't know about Baotu, how could they suffer such a catastrophe? So, I think there must be some connection between this." ā€

Gao Yunda strung all the clues together, thought about it carefully, and then said: "In this way, the treasure map should not have been obtained by the Five Color Sect and the Jin people. Your judgment in the Qiu family in Fangzhou is not accurate, in my opinion, it must be the Qiu family who sacrificed their lives to cover the person who carried the treasure map, so they were tragically destroyed. And this person with the treasure map is not an enemy to us, otherwise, he would have given the treasure map to the golden man a long time ago. ā€

After listening to Gao Yunda's analysis, Dugu Jian also thought about it carefully, it is indeed good, the person who can make the "Golden Whip" Qiu Mingxin sacrifice his whole family's life to protect it, although he may not be a friend, he will definitely not be an enemy. This fellow in the rivers and lakes must also have a chivalrous heart for the country and the people. In this way, for the treasure map, it can be relieved, and there is no fear that the gold people will get the treasure map. Now all we have to do is find someone to find out the truth in many ways. And the top priority is to notify the few people on the blood book as soon as possible to thwart the assassination plan of the Five Colors Sect.

So, Dugu Jian took the blood book from his arms, put it on the table, pointed to the name of the person on it and said: "Senior, this person above, the first two predecessors of Liu Zhongyuan and Gu Feng have been murdered, plus my master and Zhang Shibo, in less than two months, four have been killed. And I guess I'm afraid they'll soon be too aggressive against Ruixin Master. ā€

Gao Yunda carefully read the blood book from beginning to end, nodded and replied: "There are a total of seven names on it, and there is a surname Han at the back, who could it be?" Gao Yunda looked at the two of them, and the two of them were also confused, and they couldn't guess who else could be. Gao Yunda looked at the blood book again: "Since we can't figure out who it is for a while, let's ignore him for now, what we have to do now is to notify all these people as soon as possible." In this way, you still go to Hengshan according to the plan, I will go to the Liding Gang first to see if there is any news from them, and then go to Mount Tai to inform Chi Xianqiu. After you come down from Heng Mountain, go directly to Shaolin Temple to find the old monk Wuxu. Back then, the father of the 'Chongxu Daoren' had an old relationship with my master, so I will run again for the old man. As for the Thunder Dragon......"

"Uncle Gao, you don't have to worry about the Lei Tianlong gang leader, we met a little screamer in Lin'an, everyone called him Xiao Lei, his status in the beggar gang doesn't seem to be low, we asked him to inform the Lei gang leader about this......" Zhang Linxin told Gao Yunda about the situation.

"Oh, Xiao Lei?" Gao Yunda pondered for a while, "Is it a child who looks about sixteen or seventeen years old, has a somewhat thin body, a sharp chin, but has very bright eyes, and is quite able to speak?"

"Do you know him, Uncle Gao?" Hearing that Gao Yunda's description was almost the same as Xiao Lei's, Zhang Linxin asked with some surprise.

"Hehe, in May last year, Lei Tianlong asked me to swim in Huangshan with my arms, and I took this child with me, this kid is Lei Tianlong's nephew, his brain is very flexible, and his kung fu is not low. Judging from Lei Tianlong's demeanor and actions, he wants to cultivate this little screamer as the next gang leader. ā€

So that's the case, Jian Xin and the two of them suddenly realized, no wonder Xiao Lei was able to order all the beggars in Lin'an City to be respected by the beggar disciples wherever they went, it turned out to be like this. Of course, this little Lei does have the ability, his brain is smart, he is full of scheming, he is very measured in his work, and his kung fu is not weak, and he really lives up to Lei Tianlong's high expectations.
