A thin body, dressed in a loose black robe, holding a dark knife in his hand, and his temples were white to show his age, this is an old swordsman, the old swordsman passed by the archway of Linyuan Town and walked into Linyuan Town.

The swordsman still looked normal before passing the archway of Linyuan Town, but after passing the archway of Linyuan Town, the old swordsman showed a painful look on his face, took out a skin bag and opened it, and he didn't know what was in the skin, the old swordsman drank a sip of the things in the skin bag and his expression became good-looking, and then the old swordsman supported himself with his own knife and slowly walked towards the inside of Linyuan Town.

Lian Jue has been concentrating on assisting Chai Xi and his fourth grandfather in the pharmacy recently, and he doesn't go anywhere else, Ni Feng is dead, and the Ni family is looking for clues about the monkey everywhere, and Lian Jue doesn't want to go to Ni's house to find Ni Yan at this time, so as not to cause the Ni family's unhappiness. Lian Jue didn't leave the pharmacy, and Feng Chuan found a secluded place behind the pharmacy every day to practice martial arts.

Sword after sword, in addition to being fast and sharp, Feng Chuan didn't know how many swords he used, and he didn't stop until he was sweating. Lian Jue and Chai Xi sat in the small store in front of the pharmacy, Chai Xi told some interesting stories about the rivers and lakes, and by the way, he taught some medicinal knowledge to Lian Jue, and Lian Jue listened with relish. Suddenly, Lian Jue heard a knocking sound, and when Lian Jue heard it, he found that it was an old man with wrinkled face and gray hair who was outside the small storefront. Seeing that it was the old man knocking on the counter of the store, Lian Jue: "Old man, do you have something wrong?" The old man listened to Lian Jue's words and replied in a hoarse voice: "Do you have Huoquan Rock Fish for sale here?" Lian Jue had never heard of Huoquan Rock Fish, but Chai Xi knew, and after listening to the old man's words, Chai Xi said: "We don't have Huoquan Rock Fish for sale here, but a long time ago, someone did find Huoquan Rock Fish in the Qianyuan Gorge. After listening to Chai Xi's words, the old man said: "I don't know if you can tell me, who is the person who found the fire spring rock fish?" Chai Xi: "This is not very clear, there have been battles in Linyuan Town for so many years, and that person has long been lost in a battle. The old man: "Do you have any news of that man's descendants or disciples, and if you can tell me the news, I will be very grateful." Chai Xi: "I heard that the man lived alone, and he had no apprentices and no children. The old man listened to Chai Xi's words, and said with some disappointment: "Excuse me." With that, he turned around and left.

Lian Jue watched the old man leave with a knife to support, and asked Chai Xi: "What is the Fire Spring Rock Fish and what is it used for?" Chai Xi: "The Fire Spring Rock Fish is a kind of fish that lives in the underground hot springs, and because the fish looks like a rock, it is called the Fire Spring Rock Fish." Huoquan Rock Fish is a great tonic for ordinary people, for martial artists, Huoquan Rock Fish can be precious, after the warrior eats Huoquan Rock Fish, it can easily produce internal breath in the body, of course, Huoquan Rock Fish also has an effect, after eating it, it can detoxify cold poison. Lian Jue: "To detoxify the cold, as far as I know, there is a fruit in the warehouse of the pharmacy that can detoxify the cold, do you still need to use the fire spring rock fish to detoxify the cold?" Chai Xi: "The words of the second prince are correct, but there are many kinds of cold poison, like the pharmacist in Linyuan Town, if he encounters a patient who has been poisoned by cold, he will also ask about the patient's condition, and then prescribe the right medicine." Lian Jue: "Oh, I understand." ”

After the sun set, Lian Jue found Feng Chuan, threw Feng Chuan a small bottle of wine, and said, "Let's go find a clean place to drink the bar." Kazekawa listened and said, "Just go to the place you often go." Lian Jue: "Where I often go is the place we often go, where we often go." As he spoke, the two of them walked towards the Qianyuan Gorge.

Seeing that the two of them were about to go to the place where they often drank, they found a person sitting under a nearby tree. After Feng Chuan found that person, he said to Lian Jue: "Why don't we change places?" Lian Jue looked at the person who was the old man who went to the pharmacy today to ask "Huoquan Rock Fish", and said to Feng Chuan: "I know that person, he came to the pharmacy today, we will drink our wine, and we will not disturb him." ”

The two drank wine a few feet away from the old man under the tree, Lian Jue opened an oiled paper package and took out a piece of barbecue and handed it to Feng Chuan, Feng Chuan took the barbecue and said, "Does the monkey have a clue?" Lian Jue: "I haven't heard the news yet, but I heard that now the Ni family judges that the monkey was driven by someone to assassinate Ni Feng, so now the Ni family's attention is on people who have a relationship with Ni Feng." Kazekawa: "I heard that the monkey has red eyes and is hideous and ferocious, but I want to see it." Lian Jue: "It's better not to see it, after Yu Xiaocheng passed by the monkey, he didn't wait for his man in black to recover, and returned to Shangyuan City on the same day." Feng Chuan laughed when he heard this: "Then Yu Gongzi must have been scared a lot." ”

Speaking of this, Feng Chuan heard footsteps and looked up, only to see the old man who was under the tree just now walking towards him. Seeing the old man coming, Lian Jue took a step forward and said, "Old man, is there something wrong?" The old man listened and said: "Your barbecue is quite fragrant, and it woke me up." Lian Jue listened and handed a piece of barbecue meat to the old man and said, "Old man, give it to you." The old man didn't take the barbecue in his hand, but said: "I heard you talk about monkeys just now, what's going on?" Ni Feng was killed by a monkey, and the entire Linyuan Town didn't know how many people knew.

The old man listened quietly to Lian Jue's words, and then spoke: "I know that there is a person who raises monkeys, and the monkeys raised by that person are the same as what you said, but that person is in the northwest of Shangyuan City, thousands of miles away from here. Lian Jue listened and said, "Are you also from the northwest?" Old man: "I come from the easternmost desert of Shangyuan City, but I have been to the northwest and have also been to Huanshui City. Feng Chuan couldn't help but ask: "Then senior, your martial arts must be very good, right?" The old man listened to Feng Chuan's words and said: "Martial arts are okay, otherwise where can you go to such a far place alone." Hearing this, Lian Jue sighed: "I also want to travel far, but I don't have enough money to hire some martial arts masters to escort me." Then Lian Jue said: "Senior, can you tell me what the monkey keeper you just said is like." Old man: "I haven't seen that monkey keeper, but I heard that he is older than me, he must be seventy, and he is as tall as me." The main thing is that a long time has passed, and many things have changed, so I won't say more. Lian Jue: "Seventy years old, as tall as your predecessors, I will tell the Ni family the news tomorrow." Then Lian Jue said: "Senior, why don't you stay in the inn, it's still near this Qianyuan Gorge so late." The old man listened to Lian Jue's words and said, "Aren't you also here?" Lian Jue: "We live nearby." Old man: "I'm used to spending the night in the wilderness. ”
