Chapter 13: The Secret of the City

"I see, although it sounds very suspicious of where the news came from, but from the news itself, all kinds of details are interlocking, even if it cannot prove the authenticity, at least it is enough dry goods, and no one can ignore it. ”

After listening to Li Shengnan's series of explanations, Zhao Fan concluded.

That "Jiangnan Hero" Jiang Beihe is indeed the mastermind behind the good means, this link of news has been released one after another, if he hadn't known that there were ghosts in it, I'm afraid no matter what, like most people, I have to go to the first half-believing and suspicious verification.

There is no doubt that the conspirators behind the scenes have already achieved their goals as soon as so many people have verified them. Although he doesn't know what his real goal is this time, as long as he knows the means he is going to use, he will naturally be able to avoid it in a targeted manner.

But before that, Zhao Fan has one more thing to figure out.

"Miss Li...... In my impression, you shouldn't be interested in this kind of thing, right? When we met a few times ago, I remember you saying that it's not yours, you don't even want 10,000 taels of gold, it's yours, even half a copper plate has to be taken backβ€”in that case, why did you come to Jingzhou to take this trip to the troubled waters?"

"Didn't you say it all?" Li Shengnan said with a serious face, "If it is mine, I will take back even half of the copper plate, and the priceless treasure of the 'Evil Mystery Treasure' naturally cannot fall into the hands of others!"

"Oh, you mean......?"

Hearing Li Shengnan's words, Zhao Fan was thoughtful and couldn't help but widen his glasses.

"You guessed it right, speaking of which, this 'evil mysterious treasure' should have been my Li family's thing! More than 70 years ago, the 'evil god' Li Wuxie who crisscrossed the rivers and lakes was my uncle's ancestor, and his own family lineage had also received his great favor and passed on the first four forms of the 'Heavenly Buddha Palm'. Now my family is in great trouble, and the secret has been lost, so that I can't take revenge. If I can retrieve my uncle's divine skills this time, I will naturally be able to use this to slash the enemy, and it will even be enough to challenge the Nanming Sword God and get back the revenge of a sword for Patriarch Qiao Beiming!"

Li Shengnan said loudly, the expression on his face became slightly excited, and his hands unexpectedly made a joint shape, and the surrounding air flow also faintly produced a subtle change.

Although he hadn't really seen it, Zhao Fan, who was familiar with the story of martial arts, still recognized it for the first time that what Li Shengnan was posing at the moment was the starting style of the first type of "Heavenly Buddha Palm" and "Buddha Light Appeared".

Obviously, the girl didn't use any internal force at this moment, just casually posed for the movements of her limbs, but when she raised her arms by following the moves, the qi of heaven and earth was still involuntarily affected and affected, only with this superb effect, the "Heavenly Buddha Palm" is absolutely worthy of the title of the first divine palm throughout the ages, even if it is the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon" of the Beggar Gang Town, or the "Xuantian Wujin Palm" of the Yan Maniac who fought all over the world, in the face of the power of this "Heavenly Buddha Palm", he can only bow down!

Zhao Fan knew that Li Shengnan's original intention to show his magic skills at this moment was just to prove what he said. But it's a pity that when Zhao Fan has already guessed that the person behind the conspiracy is Jiang Beihe, the young man can roughly guess that the so-called "evil god treasure" is nine out of nothing. No matter how much Li Shengnan claims ownership, in the face of a thing that does not exist at all, this kind of claim is purely useless......

Thinking of this, Zhao Fan couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"I don't want to ruin your dreams, but I have to warn you. Zhao Fan said in a deep voice, "In the series of stories you said before, there is actually a very heavy flaw!"

"Hmm, what flaws?!"

Suddenly hearing Zhao Fan's words, Li Shengnan couldn't help frowning, and even his voice was a little colder.

In this regard, Zhao Fan is not surprised. Seeing that the hope of revenge is in front of him, at this moment, someone suddenly runs up and pours cold water, in this case, everyone will be angry.

However, the difference between a smart person and a stupid person is that a smart person knows how to control his own feelings.

Zhao Fan believes that with Li Shengnan's wisdom, as long as he tells her where his flaws are, Li Shengnan will definitely be able to calm down and find out the problems by himself.

"This flaw is-" Zhao Fan stretched out his index finger and said with a volley in the void, "In the whole process you told before, there is a very important person who has not been mentioned!"

"A very important person?" asked Li Shengnan with squinted eyes, "Who are you talking about?"

"This person is Jiang Qin, the scholar of 'Yulang' Jiang Feng!" didn't sell anything, Zhao Fan said the answer very simply.

"Maybe you haven't paid attention to this kind of little person. But in the information I read, at least until Jiang Feng's tragic death, this Jiang Qin had always been Jiang Feng's absolute confidant, in front of him, Jiang Feng hardly had any secrets, and even his escape from the Shifting Flower Palace was a plan made after consulting with Jiang Qin. ”

Facts have proved that it was this unconditional trust that directly led to Jiang Feng's death. Before Jiang Feng escaped, Jiang Qin took the first step to find the Lord of the Inviting Moon Palace and betrayed the master's movements. And after Jiang Feng's tragic death, this person also falsely transmitted news to the hero Yan Nantian, and then disappeared from the rivers and lakes, which shows that this person is definitely a scheming person. ”

"In my mind, no matter whether the Huoyun Evil God is really related to Jiang Feng or not, this Jiang Qin is definitely the first to know**, and even, if there is really a 'Evil Mystery Treasure', this person must know a large part of the secret!"

"Such an unavoidable important person, in the rumors of the rivers and lakes, has not been mentioned at all, which cannot but be said to be a huge suspicion. And the reason why the person who spreads the news wants to conceal the existence of this person is, in my opinion, the most likely is ......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Fan took a light breath and was about to continue speaking, when he heard Li Shengnan already continue.

"The biggest possibility is ...... The person who spread the news is actually related to Jiang Qin, or even Jiang Qin himself, right?"

Li Shengnan said in a slightly tired tone, although she used a question, but Zhao Fan knew that she was not praying for an answer, but when the words came out, she had already relied on her own wisdom to find the truth of the matter.

However, even though he knew that the girl didn't need to answer, Zhao Fan still nodded without hesitation.

"That's right. Zhao Fan said, and then stretched out a second finger.

"Actually, in this matter, there is another problem, but as a child of the Li family, you paid too much attention to the 'Evil Mystery Treasure', and didn't notice that in the mouths of those Jianghu guests, there is another thing that is juxtaposed with the 'Evil Mystery Treasure' - 'Liancheng Jue'. ”

"Liancheng Jue?" Listening to Zhao Fan's words, Li Shengnan couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Liancheng Jue...... Isn't it part of the 'Evil Mystery Treasure'?"

"Of course...... No. Zhao Fan shook his head categorically.

"Although I don't know much about the 'Evil Mystery Treasure', I know a lot about this trick mentioned by the people of the rivers and lakes. ”

"Oh?"

"In fact, the so-called 'Liancheng Jue' also refers to the secret of a treasure. Zhao Fan said.

"This treasure is not left by people in the martial arts, but from Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang Yuan during the change of the five dynasties hundreds of years ago. This treasure has been annihilated after his tragic death at the hands of the Northern Zhou soldiers, but more than ten years ago, during the rebellion of Li Chuang in the Southern Ming Dynasty, there were martial arts masters who accidentally discovered the secret of Emperor Liang Yuan's treasure, and even used the sword spectrum of this door as the password to pass the secret of the treasure to King Chuang, and wanted King Chuang to send a master to answer. ”

It's a pity that until King Chuang was defeated later, he didn't have time to send someone to take this treasure. And the secret of this treasure also fell into the hands of the master's fellow disciple, and that junior brother was the swordsmanship master of the Hunan and Hubei martial arts more than ten years ago, the head of the Tang Poetry Sword Sect - 'Iron Bone Ink Calyx' Mei Niansheng!"

More than 10 years ago, it is said that Mei Niansheng was seen clashing with three apprentices on the river. No one knows what the specific situation of this matter is, but after this incident, Mei Niansheng is indeed extinct, but his three apprentices have made some names since then. ”

"These three apprentices are the now famous Wan Zhenshan, Yan Daping, and Qi Changfa. Coupled with Mei Niansheng, whose life and death are unknown, these four people are all the people in the world today who may know the secret of the 'Liancheng Jue'. ”

"I see. After listening to Zhao Fan's explanation, Li Shengnan couldn't help but nod heavily.

"Hearing you say this, the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes is a lot more obvious, at least inciting so many people from the rivers and lakes to put pressure on Wan Zhenshan can also achieve the purpose of temptation...... From this point of view, I am afraid that behind this matter, I am afraid that one of these four people is indeed pushing ......"

Li Shengnan analyzed softly, and every time he said a word, his tone couldn't help but add a little bitterness.

Zhao Fan didn't know how painful the girl's heart was at the moment, but for her current thoughts, she could more or less appreciate it.

If he admits that this whole thing is a conspiracy, then Li Shengnan must force himself to give up hope of revenge. What a cruel thing for a young girl who has been living in hatred for more than ten years!

Probably...... People should not give up hope until the last resort, right......?

After a long time of silence and inner struggle, the girl finally let out a long sigh.

"This thing...... I still can't give up. Li Shengnan shook his head bitterly, "Even if there is only a chance to get the cheat, I can't give up this opportunity." ”

"I understand. Zhao Fan nodded in understanding, and did not intend to dissuade him.

However, thinking about the task of myself and the Iron Hand, I am afraid that it will inevitably have something to do with this matter...... Zhao Fan thought for a moment, and then proposed a mention to Li Shengnan.

"It's better to be like this...... Zhao Fan said with a smile, "I think...... Let's ...... another way."
