Qiu Haotian saw that these two people's martial arts were not high, but their opinions were very unique, and they did not blindly worship because of the identity of the leader of the Lu Yushan Martial Arts Alliance, he was very curious, and asked, "I don't know who the two teachers are?"

Song Changgeng arched his hand and said: "The younger generation of teachers in the rivers and lakes is called the double pen judge. ”

"It turned out to be the son of the old man. Qiu Haotian laughed when he heard this: "No wonder the two of you have such an opinion on things in the martial arts. Lingshi Zhao Moyu has a wide range of friends and knowledge, and is a well-known wise man in the rivers and lakes. ”

Hearing that the teacher Zhao Moyu and Qiu Haotian also had a friendship, Song Changgeng and Chen Zhongshou hurriedly greeted Qiu Haotian as disciples again, but they did not show a trace of smugness on their faces for being praised by Xia Yin in the Western Wilderness.

Qiu Haotian saw it in his eyes, and liked it even more in his heart.

Song Changgeng instructed the messenger to tie a stretcher with branches, respectfully carried the bodies of Lin Xiaoru and his wife, and returned to the county seat.

The group returned to the city of Bitouguan, Song Changgeng ordered someone to put the captured thief in prison, and he himself came to the academy with Chai Shaoning and others.

The academy master was robbed, the students of the academy had dispersed, and there was only an empty house left at this time, and the servants parked the bodies of the Lin courtyard master and his wife in the hall of the academy, and Chen Zhongshou sent people to purchase coffins and set up a mourning hall.

Chai Shaoning was sad in his heart, dressed in linen and filial piety for the teacher, and cried in front of the spirit.

Leaving the funeral to his senior brother Chen Zhongshou to handle it, Song Changgeng ordered someone to clean out the three houses and replace the bedding as the residence of Qiu Haotian's master and apprentice and Shangguan Rou.

As soon as everything was in order, before I had time to rest, someone suddenly came to report that the county government was on fire.

Everyone was shocked, abandoned their work, and hurried to the county office.

When the fire is extinguished, it will be dawn. At this time, everyone found out that the thief who had been arrested last night was dead, and not even the prisoners who were also in prison could escape.

Song Changgeng took a closer look and was shocked to find that these people did not die in the fire, but were pierced by a sharp sword. The swordsmanship of the person who started the attack is vicious, and he will not leave a living mouth when he stabs out with a sword. If it weren't for Chai Shaoning's spicy hand to extract a confession last night, everyone was afraid that they would never know the origin of the gang of black-clothed people again!

Looking at these corpses, Qiu Haotian sneered and said, "I want to cover up, but I have exposed the identity of this old thief!"

Song Changgeng heard what Qiu Haotian said, and hurriedly asked about the origin of the murderer.

Qiu Haotian said disdainfully: "Have you ever heard of the name of the Heavenly Thief?"

Chen Zhongshou gasped and said: "Fifty years ago, a group of thieves appeared in the rivers and lakes, and every time they robbed, they would set fire to the house, and never left a single living mouth. Because the methods were too vicious, they aroused the public anger of Wulin, so the people in the rivers and lakes pushed Shaolin and Wudang as the leaders, organized a team of anti-thieves, and led the heroes to eliminate harm for the people. This is where the five-year general election for the leader of the league comes from. It's just that after many years of pursuit, the heroes ran all over the country, spending a lot of money, but they didn't even find the shadow of the thief. Everyone dragged their families with them, and they couldn't stop running their livelihoods for a long time, so they had to disperse in the end, and the matter of arresting thieves was over. ”

Song Changgeng looked at Qiu Haotian, took over the words of his senior brother and said: "The thieves have been a disaster for the rivers and lakes for thirty years, and the people who have been robbed are all desperate, so that people talk about thieves, and when they talk about thieves, even babies can stop crying in the middle of the night. Just when both black and white were having a headache for this gang of thieves, the Heavenly Thieves Organization suddenly disappeared twenty years ago, and has never appeared on the rivers and lakes since. This case has become the biggest unsolved case in today's martial arts. ”

"Chang Gung is right. Qiu Haotian pointed to the corpse on the ground and said: "In order to eliminate the harm, I tracked and visited all the way, and after examining many corpses left behind in the fire, I found that they did not die of many knife wounds, most of them were pierced by a sword through the throat, just like these people in front of me!"

Everyone was moved together, and only then did they know the reason why Qiu Haotian mentioned the heavenly thief. Looking at the thief's method of arson tonight, it is indeed somewhat similar to the behavior of the thief. The other party chased after him overnight and found that only one of the two thieves was left, and he must have asked the reason. Even if the other thief didn't say anything about his confession, his words and deeds would definitely not be able to hide Lu Xiufeng's old thief, and he killed people in a fit of anger to vent his anger, and inadvertently resorted to the usual tricks of the year.

Knowing that the opponent he was dealing with turned out to be an extremely ferocious thief gang, Chen Zhongshou said with a look of fear on his face: "Lu Xiufeng started with a jewelry business, could it be that he sold the jewelry that he had robbed for many years?"

Geng Qiuwen replied angrily: "No wonder the Holy Sword Mountain Villa colluded with the evil fishermen, maybe they were all members of the Heavenly Thieves Gang back then. I'm afraid that the murder of my sister's family is a conspiracy they set up to seize the leader of the martial arts alliance. ”

Hearing that Fang Xiaoyun's family feud was also related to the Holy Sword Villa, Song Changgeng hurriedly asked for details.

Qiu Haotian nodded to Geng Qiuwen, while Fang Xiaoyun was already in tears and hid behind his master.

Shangguan Rou went over and gently took her sister's hand, her eyes full of concern.

Chai Shaoning put aside his grief for the time being, and stood aside and listened quietly.

With the master's approval, Geng Qiuwen said with a look of reminiscence: "I was fifteen years old that year, and I went out to travel with my master, passing by the foot of Song Mountain, and heard that the election meeting of the leader of the martial arts alliance would be held in the afternoon, and I was very eager to watch it. The teacher has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and he didn't want to see the kind of martial arts scene where you fight for me, so he didn't agree. It was my child's heart, and on a whim, I secretly ran out of the store to find the way up the mountain, but I didn't want to encounter a tragedy. Speaking of this, Geng Qiuwen glanced at his junior sister with pity.

"The mountains were densely forested, and I didn't know the way, so I followed a path by a stream. When I turned a corner, I saw a shallow pool formed not far from the upstream, and there was a fisherman sitting on the big stone by the pool, who was fishing there with a coat and a hat on a sunny day. On the ground beside the fisherman lay a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. ”

No need to ask, everyone also guessed that the girl in Geng Qiuwen's words must be Fang Xiaoyun, the princess of Cold Moon, but they don't know why she fell into the hands of evil fishermen?

Geng Qiuwen sighed lightly and continued: "I was still inexperienced at the time, and I couldn't see that the fisherman was weird, and I was glad that someone could ask for directions, when I suddenly saw an old man come out of the woods. The old man was in his fifties, dressed in a green cloth embroidered silk robe, with his hem rolled up and tied around his waist, and a long sword in his hand, and asked the fisherman, 'Evil fisherman, do you and I have a grudge?' The fisherman replied with a sneer, 'Good and evil are not mutually exclusive, don't you also want to get me and give up?'"

Geng Qiuwen paused, glanced at his junior sister Fang Xiaoyun again, and then said softly: "Just listen to the old man's words: 'Even if you have the ability, even if you come to me, why do you want to kidnap my daughter?' The fisherman replied: "Fang Yunhai, how can you be virtuous? ’”

Hearing this, Song Changgeng and the others were all taken aback. The "Land Divine Eagle" Fang Yunhai was the first person outside Fang to be the leader of the alliance in addition to Shaolin and Wudang, and was killed by the evil fisherman halfway when he was reappointed ten years ago, which shocked Wulin at the time, but he didn't expect that Fang Xiaoyun, the princess of Cold Moon, turned out to be Fang Yunhai's daughter.

When Fang Xiaoyun heard her father's name, she trembled, and her eyes were full of tears.

Geng Qiuwen continued: "The fisherman lifted the little girl beside him and said to the old man: 'Your daughter is in my hands, you have concerns in your heart, you must not do it with all your might, even if I win the evil fisherman, it will be disgraceful, let's return her to you first.'" ’”

When everyone heard this, although this evil angler was poisonous, he was also a character.

Unexpectedly, Geng Qiuwen's tone suddenly turned cold and said: "The old man just showed joy, and the fisherman had already reached out and slapped the girl on the back, and beat her out with one palm." The old man was taken aback and hurriedly jumped up to pick up his daughter, but the girl spat out a mouthful of blood, spraying the old man's face all over his face. The old man didn't care about dodging, and took the girl in his arms to take a closer look. ”

When Chai Shaoning heard that the evil angler was so vicious, and when he was indignant about justice, he suddenly heard someone next to him sobbing softly, and turned his head to see that it was Fang Xiaoyun.

"When the old man saw that the girl was fine, he put aside his worries for the time being, wiped the blood on his face, and said to the fisherman: 'Although you let the little girl go, but you also took her away, I will not miss your love. The fisherman sneered and said, "It should be like this, but you pretentious and chivalrous people always like to find some boring reason for yourself." After speaking, he didn't see him make a gesture, but the fish hook in his hand suddenly flew out, hooked to the old man's throat, and the two of them fought together in an instant. ”

Speaking of this, Geng Qiuwen's voice lowered and said, "Although I was young at that time, I had been studying with my master for many years, and I could tell the level of skill of others. At a glance, I found that the skills of the two people were not below the master. The fisherman had already stood up by this time, and although he was still wearing his coat and hat, he was already full of arms swinging, and a fishing line sizzled, and the empty line was woven into a large cocoon to bind the old man. The old man, however, did not move, and a sword danced impermeable, like a mainstay, and in the sound of clanging, he struck out the fish hooks that kept flying. ”

"When the two were at a stalemate, they suddenly heard the old man shouting, 'Evil fisherman, you are so despicable!' After speaking, the sword move in his hand slowed down. When the fisherman saw that he was not satisfied, he laughed and said, 'Do you not know until this time?'

The old man roared angrily, and the sword in his hand shot out like a rainbow, and went straight to the fisherman, but he himself turned around and ran towards the girl, wanting to take his daughter and flee for his life. Although the fisherman was blocked by the flying sword, he relied on the long line of the rod and wrapped his left leg around the old man's left leg with his shaking hand. The old man was obviously clumsy in his movements, and when he was torn off the fishing line, he was unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground. ”

"At this time, in order to find me, the master chased me all the way, and when he saw someone committing a murder, he shouted: 'Evil fisherman, don't hurt people!' After the fierce battle, the evil fisherman was full of anger and was also taken aback, and turned around and jumped into the dense forest. I only thought that he was going to escape, but who would have thought that the wicked man did not know what method he used? The fishing line actually wrapped around the old man's neck, and under this pull, he pooped, pooped..."

Speaking of this, Geng Qiuwen couldn't hold back any longer, tears flowed down, and only after calming down his emotions did he continue: "The evil angler smashed the old man's head at the master to stop the master from pursuing. I'm going to pull my junior sister-" Geng Qiuwen didn't call the girl his junior sister until this time, which shows that he has integrated himself into the old things of many years ago under the burst of emotion, and he is no longer the mentality of telling stories before.
