[Comprehensive martial arts] Holy Monk

At first glance, there is nothing special about this golden lotus hairpin. At most, it is exquisitely carved and the materials used are precious.

The red gold on the hairpin is a bit old, but the jade lotus flower is full of water. Even regardless of the secrets on it, this piece of Changhong jade alone is a treasure worth more than a thousand gold.

Everyone watched carefully for a moment under the light, and did not speak for a while.

Zhou Hao shot an eager light, and asked without raising his head, "Have you seen any tricks?"

Lin Wangsun murmured, "I always feel that this hairpin doesn't look right."

Zhou Qi said: "What's wrong? Even if it's for the empress to wear, this jade hairpin is quite qualified."

Lin Wangsun looked around and said suddenly, "Although that is the case, why is this jade lotus carved into a flat shape? If it is carved into a lifelike real lotus, wouldn't it be more beautiful?"

Chu Liuxiang continued: "Yes, it looks more like a jade pendant."

Lin Wangsun's eyes lit up and he said: "Maybe it was originally a jade pendant? It was only put on the hairpin to deceive people's eyes and ears?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled: "It's better to let the bride answer this question."

Zhou Hao and Zhou Qi raised their heads at the same time, and looked at the bride sternly: "What's the secret of this jade hairpin!"

The bride's complexion was ashen, and the lingering charm of a beauty seemed to have disappeared.She ignored Zhou Hao and Zhou Qi, but she had already seen that the real caller here was Lin Wangsun.After being dazed for a while, she stared straight at Lin Wangsun, and said hoarsely, "I can tell you the secret. But you have to promise me one thing."

Lin Wangsun said: "You might as well talk and listen."

The bride was silent for a moment, and said: "After I finish speaking, you will give me a large sum of money and send me unscathed to a place that will never be found by Bai Yujing's people, so that I can live comfortably Go down. You must not hand me back to them!"

Lin Wangsun was curious, and he teased, "Are you worried that City Lord Fang will kill you in a fit of anger?"

There was a trace of pain in the bride's expression, and she said in a miserable voice: "He won't! But I don't have the face to see him anymore! If you don't agree to my conditions, then I won't tell the secret even if I die!"

Lin Wangsun thought for a moment, then replied: "Okay, I promise you."

But the bride said: "I don't believe you."

Lin Wangsun frowned slightly, and said lightly, "Then what do you want?"

The bride suddenly reached out and pointed at Fang Tianzhi: "I only trust him. I know an absolutely safe place, and I want this master to send me away personally!"

Everyone understood that she must have remembered that the monk had just protected her, and knew who was the most reliable among several people.It's just that if you understand it, it's clear that being so veiled and accused by a woman face to face, everyone's faces are unnatural, and they glanced at Fang Tianzhi one after another.

Fang Tianzhi just pretended to be indifferent, and slightly drooped his eyelashes to pick up his Buddhist beads.

Lin Wangsun said calmly: "What is Master Xuejing's status, how can he be ordered by you at will? What's more, he has something important to do, so how could he care about such a trivial matter as you!"

Fang Tianzhi heard this, but said: "It's inconvenient right now, when the matter at hand is over, the poor monk can give this benefactor a ride."

Lin Wangsun was taken aback for a moment, but unexpectedly he really agreed, pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, since the master is merciful and helpful, then I will accept this matter."

The bride breathed a sigh of relief, and unconsciously leaned back on the back of the chair.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she blinked her eyes silently, and two lines of tears burst out of her eyes in time.

All the people present were men, and fell silent for a moment.

After a long while, it was Zhou Hao who spoke first, and said in a deep voice, "Speak quickly! We'll let you go after we finish speaking."

The bride turned her head hastily, took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped away her tears, and replied blankly: "This gold-encrusted jade lotus hairpin was entrusted to me when Tianzhi passed away. Besides this hairpin, she also remembered it by heart. The next martial arts secret book, tell me to hand over the above martial arts to him after Tianzhi is sensible and practice martial arts."

Everyone's breathing stopped suddenly.

Chu Liuxiang suddenly thought of Han Qi in Lin Wangsun's description, and the unpredictable and peerless martial arts of the Han city lord back then.

But Fang Tianzhi only thought of five words.

Zhou Hao anxiously asked: "What martial arts secret book?"

The bride recalled it for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "It seems to be called Jinchanyu...what kind of work is jade."

Sure enough, it was a golden cicada and a jade shed.

But none of the people present seemed to know the name of this martial art, and no one called it broken for a while.

Only Zhou Hao patted his thigh and asked, "What is it?"

The bride said: "I'm not very literate, I don't know that word."

Zhou Qi quickly interjected: "Did his father surnamed Fang leave it to him?!"

The bride said: "It should be, that's what God's mother said."

Lin Wangsun clenched his fist to his lips, coughed a few times, paced back and forth and asked, "Then what is this hairpin for?"

The bride said: "Tianzhi's mother said that that martial art is the secret of Bai Yujing's successive city lords. She only read the first half because of her deep affection with Tianzhi's father. Tianzhi's father is dead or alive. In the future, if you want to know the whole secret book, you have to open the lotus treasure. The jasper lotus on the head of the jade hairpin is the only key to the treasure." She took a breath, and after a long time of stunned, she said softly, "She Tell me that if Tianzhi finishes the first half of the chapter, he may die if he fails to get the second half within nine years. So I told me to let him open the treasure chest immediately after he has finished the practice, and get the whole cheat book. And if in his year, people from Bai Yujing hadn’t come to Haihou City to support him, they would have waited for their martial arts to be completed, and then they would take the rare treasures from the Lotus Treasure and go out to sea to regain the city lord’s position.”

When Chu Liuxiang heard this, he suddenly asked: "So you told us the secret, and that Fang City Lord is likely to die because of it?"

The bride's face was pale and pale, she bit her lips tightly, tears streaming down her face.

Lin Wangsun sighed: "Brother Chu, it's fortunate that I got the jade hairpin. Otherwise, when the Fang City Lord got the treasure secret book, he would come to revenge indiscriminately. The whole family will die without a burial place!" He paused, "Poor Zhang Shibo ruined his family and career, two brothers, one life is unknown, and the other's life is hanging by a thread!"

Chu Liuxiang remained silent, and only sighed softly after a long time.

Zhang Su was taking care of his eldest son, Zhang Chongjin, and had no time to take care of him. At this time, he was hit by a sore spot, and couldn't help gnashing his teeth, and said to the bride: "Tell me, where is the treasure?"

The bride glanced at him timidly, and said softly, "It's on the top of Yuhu Mountain outside Haihou City."

Yuhu Mountain?

Except for Fang Tianzhi, everyone present knew this place.

It is indeed not far from Haihou City, and it can be reached in half a day at most with a fast horse.

How could Bai Yujing's treasure be hidden there?

Lin Wangsun couldn't figure it out, he knew everything around the city without saying it clearly, but he didn't want to know that the big secret of the enemy of life and death was right under his nose.

After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said: "Yuhu Mountain is neither steep nor remote. There are even farmers collecting firewood and hunting in it. I have never heard of anyone discovering anything strange. As for the top of the mountain It can be seen at a glance, there is only a lake there, what can be hidden?"

The bride said quietly: "That's right, there is only one lake there."

Lin Wangsun was about to ask, but was suddenly stunned: "...What did you say?"

Zhou Hao and Zhou Qi also reacted, and said in unison: "The treasure is hidden at the bottom of the lake!"

After discussing for a while, everyone decided to take a trip to the top of Yuhu Mountain.

Lin Wangsun hurriedly gave instructions to the old servant, the old servant hunched slightly, and after listening, he tremblingly held the lantern and crawled down the tunnel entrance.

Fang Tianzhi watched the lights disappear from the entrance of the secret passage, and asked, "Benefactor Lin..."

Lin Wangsun didn't wait for him to finish, and said with a smile: "Master, don't worry, Wilbur is an old man in the family. As far as I am concerned, there is probably no one in the world who is more reliable than him except you."

Fang Tianzhi stopped talking.

The bride watched the crowd whispering secretly, busy without stopping, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "I want to go with you."

Zhou Hao stopped, and coldly reprimanded: "We're not here for fun. Just stay here honestly!"

The bride refused to agree, she seemed a little frightened, pointed at Shen Mian and asked loudly: "Then why can she go! I don't want to stay here, who knows if you will take the opportunity to kill me!" She looked at Fang Fang imploringly. Tianzhi said, "Master, let me follow you! You don't need to worry about me, I will just stay by the lake, I will not get in the way, and I will wait for the master to come ashore."

Seeing that his words were taken as fart, Zhou Hao couldn't help but gradually raised his long gray eyebrows, and a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes.

But Lin Wangsun gently pressed his shoulder, and said to the bride: "Okay, if you like to follow, just follow."

The bride was quiet again.

After discussing many details, everyone fell into silence for a while.In the empty weapons workshop, only the sound of long or rapid breathing, the coughing sound of Lin Wangsun, and the occasional crackling of lamps and candles remained.Chu Liuxiang and Fang Tianzhi sat side by side, looking at the bride thoughtfully.The bride, on the other hand, seemed as if her heart was ashamed, and her body was limp beside the square table, her head and face buried in her sleeves.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Liuxiang suddenly said, "Madam of the city lord."

The bead flower on the bride's head trembled slightly, but the man quickly raised his head and said in a mournful voice, "Don't call me Mrs. Mistress! I'm not worthy!"

Chu Liuxiang was silent, and said, "Then I don't know what to call you?"

The bride said: "What do you want to say, just say it!"

Chu Liuxiang stopped exchanging pleasantries, and only asked: "There are still a few things I don't quite understand. First, do you and that City Lord Fang know about the old grudge between Bai Yujing and Haihou's Mansion?"

The bride said: "Tianzhi's mother didn't say it carefully, but she told me that Haihou Mansion is their big enemy."

Chu Liuxiang said: "In that case, even if you want to meet people from Bai Yujing at the seaside, you don't have to take the risk of sneaking into Haihou City, right?"

The bride said: "This is the meaning of Tianzhi. He said that he could not enter the city, which is too much publicity, as if he was scared out of his wits by the Haihou Mansion. He doesn't want to sneak around to the seaside."

It is normal for a young man to have superb martial arts and have never seen the heights of heaven and earth.

Chu Liuxiang smiled, and asked again: "Then hiding in the prostitute alley, won't you be in the limelight?"

The bride was silent for a moment, and defended him: "I forced him to go. I know that if I want to escape the search, I can only go there."

Chu Liuxiang asked: "Why do you know?"

The bride said: "Because I received guests there."

Chu Liuxiang was startled.

The bride's expression was very dull, as if she no longer cared what others thought of her: "I have seen the majesty of the old Hou Ye, and I know that nothing in the city can't be hidden from the Haihou Mansion. But I am different, I was born in Fubao Xiang used to be a kabuki, and many people in the alley have received my favor. If I want to hide there quietly for a while, it's not too difficult."

Chu Liuxiang thought for a while and said, "Even so, why do you want to get married in Haihou City?"

The bride blushed and said softly after a long while: "Because I want to get married from Fubao Lane! He already knows... I'm a prostitute! Even if I move out from there again, even if I can get married from here Getting married in the palace... What's the difference? In his heart, I'm still a prostitute!"

Chu Liuxiang suddenly felt a little unbearable, but he just sighed and said coldly: "Why are you so paranoid? Maybe without this farce, you have already become the wife of the city lord at this time. The city lord Fang will not be killed by you just because of this." died."

Tears welled up again in the bride's eyes, but she quickly wiped it away and asked, "What else do you want to ask?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "City Lord Fang's mother should be named Fang?"

The bride said: "Yes, her name is Fang Mu."

When Fang Tianzhi heard these two words, his heart moved slightly.

But he didn't speak, just remembered her silently.

Chu Liuxiang didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, a faint yellow light suddenly came up from the secret underground passage, and the voice of the old servant sounded: "Master Hou, everything is done."

Lin Wangsun stopped coughing, stood up with a flushed face, and said, "Everyone, let's go!"
