One Sword to Heaven

Chapter 76 The rain is coming
"The snow is really heavy this year."

In the mansion of Gongsun in Mingkang Town, Chen Wenyuan, wearing a downy cloak, sat in the lotus pavilion. While watching the heavy snow outside the pavilion, he took a wine pot from the small stove on the stone table beside him and poured himself a drink.

Since the last incident, Chen Wenyuan took over Kang Jianmin's position and stayed in Mingkang Town. The outer town looked like a local emperor, but Chen Wenyuan was originally a celebrity around Yang Yuan, so keeping him in Mingkang Town was undoubtedly tantamount to distribution. He knew that this was the meaning of the master, and Yang Yuan could not disobey it.

Chen Wenyuan was not worried about his future. He knew that the young master would recall him sooner or later, but it would be inconvenient after all to be in Mingkang Town. Apart from other things, he knew that the young master was doing a big event recently. Unfortunately, he had no chance to participate in it, so this Chen Wenyuan, who is in a melancholy mood, will enjoy the snow and drink wine in this lotus pavilion on nine cold days to pass the hard time.

"Wenyuan."

A figure came from the wind and snow, and the voice came from a distance before the person arrived, but the person who came was the old man with one arm and one eye.The old man originally had a ferocious appearance, but at this moment he had a happy expression on his face. When he walked into the pavilion, the old man didn't even sweep the snow off his body, and hurriedly said: "Wen Yuan, happy event."

Chen Wenyuan took a sip of his wine and said listlessly without raising his head: "But Li Yunyang told me about the treasure location of the Gongsun family?"

What is quite unexpected is that after Chen Wenyuan captured Li Yunyang that day, he did not directly kill him, but imprisoned him instead.This is because Chen Wenyuan found out about Gongsun Sanniang's promise to recruit masters from a secret channel, and Yang Yuan's hobby of collecting famous knives and swords is well known among the black water thieves, so Chen Wenyuan naturally wanted to find out the hidden treasure of the Gongsun family. It's a pity that he has dug three feet of the entire Gongsun compound in the past few months and failed to find it, so Li Yunyang was kept to torture every day to extract confessions.

"The old man has nothing to love and wants to die. The torture has stopped for the past few days. How can he open his mouth? This is the happy event I'm talking about."

As he spoke, the old man took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Chen Wenyuan and said, "A letter written by the young master to you."

Chen Wenyuan stood up abruptly, then grabbed the letter and read it carefully.The old man looked at the gradually restored look in Chen Wenyuan's eyes, and a smile appeared on his face, and then said: "What did the young master say in the letter?"

Chen Wenyuan didn't answer immediately. After reading the whole letter and putting the letter paper into the stove, he said leisurely: "The young master mentioned in the letter that he teamed up with a certain important person from the Lengyue Sect of Hengshui City to seize the Shujianzhuang's foundation was used as the beginning of a comprehensive alliance with that great man.

The young master is very talented, and this matter is really well done, but the fly in the ointment is that the secret storehouse in Shujianzhuang was looted, and even a famous sword was taken away by Wang Yan. "

"But Wang Yan from Aojian Villa, is that kid who escaped from Qiming Building last time?"

The old man had quite an impression of Wang Yan. He and Chen Wenyuan learned the names of Wang Yan, Xia He and others from Kang Jianmin's subordinate Xiaozuo after the incident, so they immediately remembered what they said.

"It's that Wang Yan! I didn't expect that this person's martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds in just a few months. This time, he killed the Hundred Faced Ghost under the sword in Shujianzhuang, and then took the famous sword Luosha to envelop the second lady of Shujianzhuang. After ransacking Shujianzhuang's secret library, he quietly escaped.

At the beginning, I only felt that this son was decisive, but I didn't expect to have such means, which is really not easy. "

Chen Wenyuan's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something, the old man couldn't help but said: "But the young master has an order?"

"No. The young master's letter this time is just to show that I, Chen Wenyuan, are still in his heart, and I will be recalled soon, but I, Chen Wenyuan, have received the grace of the young master, so I can't do nothing. Shan Bo, about Wang Yan Is there any news?"

The old man shook his head and said: "This kid and that Xiahe have made some achievements in the South River Valley, but these two people act cautiously, although I have given more orders to my subordinates, I haven't found out their lairs.

As for the identity of this kid, I asked someone to inquire about it in Qianji Pavilion, and I only sent back the news a few days ago. There is no such son among the traitors in Jianshanzhuang, so the origin of this son is somewhat unclear.

but"

Speaking of this, the old man seemed to have thought of something, and said again: "According to the news from his subordinates, this kid and a woman appeared in Tianmaji together, and more than a month ago, the woman appeared in Linhuai Town It seems that she also bought a lot of food, oh, by the way, this woman also brought a few half-grown children with her.

Wen Yuan, do you think this woman has anything to do with Wang Yan? "

Chen Wenyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said: "Regardless of whether it is related or not, find out this woman first. Since she appeared with Wang Yan, even if Wang Yan is not with her now, there may be some news. As for As for Wang Yan's status, since he is just a handyman disciple, there is no need to worry about anything, just let it go."

"Understood, I'll do it now."

After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and walked outside. Looking at the old man's leaving figure, Chen Wenyuan murmured: "If I can find this son this time, I will kill him and find the famous sword Luosha and the book sword." Zhuang's things, I see who else can stop me, Chen Wenyuan, from going back, how could I, Chen Wenyuan, be missing from such a major event as the establishment of the sect by the young lord!"

In the twinkling of an eye, it is already the middle of winter, and the snow this year is extra heavy. The snow as big as a goose feather has been falling for a month. The village under the mountain is completely covered by falling snow. Frozen into ice.

But all this has nothing to do with Wang Yan. His small shabby house has been closed for more than a month. During this period, except for the old village chief who delivers meals every day, no one is allowed to approach. However, Xiaodouzi is unwilling to give up. Even though he was repeatedly warned by Fifth Rhyme, the little guy always sneaked under the old tree next to the broken house, expecting to hear Wang Yan's call.

"Master has been in seclusion for 53 days. From the beginning of winter to the middle of winter, if it hadn't been for the exceptionally long winter this year, it would have been warm spring now. Why hasn't Master come out? Could it be that Master still remembers that I targeted Sister Linghu and deliberately hid her?" Don't you get up?"

Xiaodouzi was riding on a bare tree branch, rubbing snowflakes in his hands, and kept muttering.

Over the past two months, people in the village have gradually accepted Linghuwan's existence, especially after learning that Linghuwan is going to Donghua Prefecture in the future, both Fifth Rhyme and Xiaodouzi have become very fond of Linghuwan. She became much friendlier, but such a change still did not let Wang Yan go out of the test. After all, Xiaodouzi was still young, and she didn't quite understand what kind of martial arts needed to be hidden for such a long time. I always thought that the master was still blaming her. Wu Yun enlightened her, but she was still depressed during this time.

"Hey, how long will it take for Master to leave the customs?"

Xiaodouzi let out a long sigh, and was about to lie down with his head in his arms, but at this moment, a hoarse and deep voice came from the dilapidated house.

"Little Douzi, come in."

Master?

Little Douzi was startled, but then his face became happy, he jumped down from the branch, and rushed to the small broken house with a few strides, before entering the house, the little guy said happily: "Master, you go out gone?"

When the words settled down, Xiaodouzi had already entered the room, but he saw Wang Yan sitting cross-legged on the couch with a haggard face, his face was bloodless, his hair was as gray as withered grass, and even the skin exposed outside his clothes was dry , only a pair of eyes are piercing.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaodouzi didn't expect Wang Yan to become like this at all, and immediately rushed to the grass bed with red eyes, but Wang Yan smiled slightly: "It's nothing, this time I retreated to sacrifice the sword, and it took nearly two months to finally succeed." , I just don’t want to consume too much essence and blood and hurt my vitality, and I need to take a good care of it for a while.”

Wang Yan did not lie. In the 53 days before and after, he finally completed the first stage of sword sacrifice, and there was a subtle connection between him and Luosha. Even in the next two or three days, he not only stabilized his spirit Yuan, also split the sword light into the entry, the primary purpose of this retreat has been achieved.

As for sorting out his own martial arts and understanding his own martial arts concepts, Wang Yan has also gained a lot, so that although he seems to be in a bad state now, his martial arts have been refined after this combing, especially It is because the foundation of internal energy is completely stable, and the purity of internal energy is better than before, and it has reached the point where it can be accumulated.

"Master, you are really fine, you have become like this, no, I have to call sister Yun to show you."

Xiaodouzi walked out of the house as he said that, Wang Yan didn't stop him when he saw this, his retreat was extremely successful, the two goals he had set before had all met expectations, but only in terms of energy and spirit and "I" Wang Yan didn't make too much progress in the exploration, but with the deepening of the exploration, he had more and more doubts in his heart. Therefore, after the sword sacrifice was completed and the Jingyuan was initially stabilized, Wang Yan was no longer ready to continue. The first thing to do when you leave the closed door is to find the fifth rhyme to ask some questions, in order to solve the confusion.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan couldn't help recalling his explorations in the self-world over the past 50 days. Although there are still many unknown things, he discovered another self in the retrospect of memory. It is called 'empty self'.
