[Comprehensive martial arts] Holy Monk

Chu Liuxiang doesn't like to slander good people.

He quickly withdrew his hot gaze from the bald head, and said, "So, as soon as Chu entered the city, he fell into your trap? But my disguise technique is also very good, and I won't be able to see through it later. , if I guessed correctly..."

His bright black eyes focused on Lin Wangsun as if seeing everything, "You probably guessed it right, Chu must first secretly inquire about the news in the city, so he sent someone to watch the horse's face, and waited for a rabbit in the Tianming gambling house. He rushed to Ma Mian Zhang's house immediately, and blocked Chu and Brother Xue Jing together in the house. I wonder if this is the case?"

Lin Wangsun nodded with a warm smile.

Chu Liuxiang sighed, and said: "It's a pity! If Chu hadn't given the silver key to Xue Jing, maybe he wouldn't have been involved in this conspiracy. It's the monk's bad luck to meet Chu Liuxiang!"

Fang Tianzhi saw that Chu Liuxiang's expression was gloomy, and he seemed to feel guilty, so he couldn't help thinking, "Why should Xiangshuai blame himself? If Xiangshuai hadn't helped, I'm afraid the poor monk is still worrying about money, and even asked about the slightest news about his uncle No." He paused, clasped his palms together, turned to look at Lin Wangsun, and said politely, "Here, the poor monk dares to ask Lin Benefactor to answer his questions generously. If he can find out the whereabouts of his uncle Well, the poor monk did not go down the mountain in vain this time."

Unexpectedly, Lin Wangsun denied it flatly: "I will not hide the truth from the mage, the whereabouts of the respected master uncle, Xiaohou certainly does not know." He was killed by Bai Yujing's men. But what was the purpose of killing an old monk from the mountain? Could it be that Master Ling has an ulterior identity? It's strange. He has always had some credibility as an intelligence dealer, if the matter of Master Ling can make him make an exception to lie, then the secret must be even more extraordinary!"

Seeing the opportunity, Chu Liuxiang suddenly asked, "The horse's face is not yours?"

Lin Wangsun said: "I really want him to become mine, but I can't do it!" He frowned slightly, with a look of helplessness, "This old boy has been working in Haihou City since my father was alive. Who knows if there is someone behind him? Otherwise, how did he get so many secret information under my nose? My life is not easy. Since he doesn't cause trouble, I can't force him too much !"

Fang Tianzhi asked again: "Then his mysterious disappearance is not the work of the benefactor?"

Lin Wangsun glanced at him and sighed: "Why do you two think of Xiaohou so viciously? The cunning rabbit still has three caves. Ma Lianzhang has been operating in Haihou City for many years. If he wants to put oil on the soles of his feet, he can rely on me alone." How can the guards stop him?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled unceremoniously: "In my opinion, Brother Lin is going to make a move, but why is it too late?"

Lin Wangsun was not annoyed, he smiled and sighed: "If brother Chu wants to think this way, then I have nothing to say."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Okay, let's not mention this. It's just that, Brother Lin really didn't hear anything about the whereabouts of Uncle Xuejing?"

Lin Wangsun asked back: "Looking at what brother Chu means, I seem to have to know?"

Chu Liuxiang was silent for a while, then glanced at the Zhou brothers who were panicked like a bereaved dog, and sighed softly: "Brother Lin has hidden eyeliner in Baiyujing? If I guess right, the identity of this eyeliner is still very unusual, otherwise... He looked back at Lin Wangsun again, with strange and complicated eyes, "otherwise, how would you know that someone from Bai Yujing is going to marry in Fubao Lane?"

The handsome and decent smile on Lin Wangsun's face faded a bit, and he said, "Brother Chu, is it possible that your memory is confused? I learned that their marriage was all due to the letter passed by the subordinate Feige in the city. Could it be that Lin's subordinate, but Bai Yujing people?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "Really? I think the so-called Feige passing on the letter was just arranged by Brother Lin. You already knew that the Lord of Baiyujing was getting married tonight, and you also knew that the surprise attack on Cangshan was just to divert the tiger away from the mountain, but it is inconvenient to do it beforehand." It would be unnatural if it was broken. After all, the most convincing way to make people believe the truth is to let the smart people figure it out for themselves."

He smiled self-deprecatingly, "Brother Lin must think that Chu is a smart person. But smart people have a rebellious mind and often only believe in their own judgment. What others said repeatedly, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart." , then it’s better to let Chu come to a conclusion based on the clues. But brother Lin is also a smart person, so naturally he is unwilling to bet everything on Chu’s ability to figure it out, so we hurried halfway, and the two seniors of the Zhou family just happened to If you join us, there is no need to go to Changmei Ridge. And if Chu hasn't figured it out yet, then there will naturally be another flying pigeon to send a message to help Chu clear his doubts, so as not to delay the big event!"

Lin Wangsun was calm and composed, and smiled mockingly: "Brother Chu's imagination is really rich. Naturally, the two seniors of the Zhou family rushed here after receiving the message from Zhang Shibo. And Lin's subordinates were lucky enough to find out the news, but it was just The people in Bai Yujing noticed that I was out of the city and acted recklessly, showing clues. If everything in the world is like what Brother Chu imagined out of thin air, it would be too much a coincidence!"

Chu Liuxiang said: "What brother Lin said is true. How can there be many coincidences in the world? Coincidences that are too coincidental are often not coincidences. But when I came to Haihou City, everything is too coincidental! Chu came from the East China Sea , if you want to enter the city, you have to pass through the north gate or the east gate. However, if you enter the city through these two gates, if you want to rush to Tianming Casino, Chu will always pass by the Xuexin Bridge no matter what."

When he said this, Shen Mian, who was standing alone by the side, suddenly trembled, and couldn't help looking at Fang Tianzhi.

Chu Liuxiang said slowly: "Chu once wandered by the lake for half a day, but happened to hear some interesting news. This girl Shen, who is beautiful, delicate and frail, seems to have always liked to go to the lake for the past month. Xinting went to sit for a while, and every time she was about to leave, she would always have some small conflicts with the guards around her. After hearing this anecdote, Chu could not help but have a strange thought, maybe she was waiting for something People? Or, is she just waiting for Chu Liuxiang, who likes to meddle in other people's affairs?"

Lin Wangsun said coldly: "Brother Chu is too whimsical!"

Chu Liuxiang said: "Chu himself feels the same way. After all, Miss Shen has an unusual status, and she is Brother Lin's sweetheart. So I tried another time. The plum tree by the West Lake in Haihou's Mansion, I don't know if Brother Lin returned it. Do you remember?"

Lin Wangsun's face suddenly changed slightly.He seemed to want to look back at Shen Mian, but held back.

Chu Liuxiang observed his words, and knew that he understood: "I am ashamed to say that I lied to Miss Shen, saying that the old tree was born in the Haihou Mansion when I was a child. But Miss Shen was raised in the Hou Mansion since she was a child. Hearing this, she didn't find it strange at all, but responded to me very naturally. Didn't she know that there was an old and sick banyan tree growing there, and it wasn't until a few years ago that you moved this mature plum tree from Changmeiling ?”

Lin Wangsun stared at Chu Liuxiang, and said after a while, "So, you have already started to doubt Shen Mian's identity. You have also started to doubt me."

Chu Liuxiang also seemed to have a heavy heart, and his expression was quite solemn.He didn't answer this sentence, but said to himself: "I told Brother Lin a long time ago that there can never be a clueless thing in this world, and it is impossible to have a flawless deception, but it has not been discovered yet. As soon as Miss Shen's flaws were exposed, many aspects of Brother Lin's deception were exposed, but you deserved to have made almost perfect preparations. I only felt that there was fraud in it, but I couldn't figure out the truth. Until After snatching away the bride, she said that Han Qi's wife had lived in the Central Plains and secretly gave birth to a child, and I suddenly remembered that maybe the whole story you told in Haihou's mansion back then was all false."

Lin Wangsun pondered and said: "Since Han Qi came to seek revenge, it is not inexplicable to bring his wife who is pregnant with Liujia. Maybe Fang Muben is his subordinate with superb martial arts, or maybe he thinks too much of himself. I thought I could easily protect my wife and children. Even if it’s a bit far-fetched, what’s wrong with my story?”

As soon as he said this, Fang Tianzhi knew that he was too lazy to deny it.

Chu Liuxiang naturally understood, he smiled wryly and said, "That's right, brother Lin's deception is precisely here. No matter what other people have doubts about, even if it is confirmed by the information you just learned, he is also in the story you wove. I can always find a roughly explainable reason. If he already has the heart to believe you, it will be easier to convince himself. But since hearing your story, Chu has always felt that something is not right. What is wrong? ? I scrutinized Brother Lin's story in every possible way, and I only felt that it was seamless and logical, and there was nothing suspicious about it."

Lin Wangsun asked humbly: "Then why does Brother Chu feel that something is wrong?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "Because the story you told is so perfect. There are almost no flaws in any detail. This in itself is a big flaw. That day I sat on the roof with Brother Xue Jing and watched the scenery. I can't help but think of the past when I played with you in the mansion. But when I think about it, I suddenly realize that I can't remember many things that happened more than ten years ago. But what about you, Brother Lin?"

The more Chu Liuxiang thought about it, the more fluent his words became, "You talked about the events back then, as if the old Hou Ye was face to face. But even if the old Hou Ye was face to face, he might not be so tight about the past decades ago, right? There is no ambiguity, and there is no contradiction. From the beginning to the end, you have never been questioned by the two of us, and you have never even said "I don't know much". When you mention the old things about your father, it is so fluent It's as natural as seeing it with my own eyes. This is not a story I heard, but a story I made up! I always felt that something was wrong, until then I realized that you know too much. You seem to be Dominating everything, your actions are always so appropriate to connect with unexpected events, as if you knew what would happen!"

Lin Wangsun laughed disapprovingly: "It seems that even if Brother Chu has doubts about me, it's just a random guess based on whimsy. Or maybe you are born with extraordinary intuition, like an elk drinking water by the stream, The tiger crawled to the side without making a sound, and the deer just felt restless, looking around for a moment and then ran away." He seemed a little envious, but also a little disdainful, "Brother Chu, if you rely on this ability to get into the world, It was supposed to turn bad luck into good luck, and everything went smoothly. But you are a little worse than the elk, you just wait and see, but don't remember the key to run!"

Chu Liuxiang said: "It seems that you have admitted it?"

Lin Wangsun sighed slightly with melancholy: "Whether I admit it or not, what difference does it make? The matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk more!"

Chu Liuxiang said: "That's right, but the matter has come to this, why don't Brother Lin be more frank?"

Lin Wangsun showed a slight displeasure, and said coldly: "I have already told Brother Chu. I deceive you two with lies. It's not that you don't treat you as friends, but it's just a matter of necessity! Why should I lie to you again? I don’t want to hide it from you, brother Xue Jing has already seen my eyeliner! That person was in charge of intelligence in Bai Yujing, but he never mentioned any monks he killed after landing! What is the whereabouts of brother Xue Jing’s uncle? , I really don’t know!”

Seeing that he did not seem to be lying, Fang Tian fell into deep thought.

Bai Yujing really has a traitor.

Since he has seen this traitor before, it is nothing more than one of Chun Wang, Qing Nu, and Huai Xu, but which one is it?

He thought about it, and suddenly recalled what he overheard outside the small building in Fubao Lane——

"He only told you in advance that I was here. How could he trust you so much?"

Fang Tianzhi's heart became clear for a moment. The bride said this to the young girl, so since only the young girl knew where the bride was hiding, how did Lin Wangsun know that Bai Yujing was going to greet the bride in Fubao Lane early on, and then calmly layout?

Qingnv may be his informant.

Fang Tianzhi was lost in thought, if the young girl is Bai Yujing's traitor... Could it be that she killed the uncle?Presumably she would never talk about such a major event as murdering the city lord with Lin Wangsun.But there is another possibility, whether the young girl has never seen her uncle?

But why did she collude with outsiders?Why did she betray Han Qi?Betrayed Bai Yujing?

Fang Tianzhi suddenly said: "Since benefactor Lin has learned half of the golden cicada and jade shedding kung fu, then it seems that this secret book was forced by your father and others from Han Qi's mouth?"

Lin Wangsun didn't want Fang Tianzhi, who was practicing closed-mouth meditation, to ask a question suddenly. After being startled for a while, he didn't prevaricate him: "That's right."

Fang Tianzhi said indifferently: "Back then, the old benefactor Lin murdered Han Qi. Thinking about it, it's not that he didn't regard him as a friend, but because he was a man who made money and killed birds for food. He had to do it as a last resort?"

Lin Wangsun was taken aback for a second, then smiled and said, "Why does the mage speak so harshly?"

Fang Tian thought to himself, it seems that what he expected was right, Han Qi was indeed Lin Heyi's friend back then.

When Chu Liuxiang heard this, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "I suddenly remembered... When Brother Lin pressed the bride, he was very articulate and quick thinking, and he found the key to the treasure in a few words... Could it be that the old Hou Ye was back then? Have you seen this jade lotus flower before?" He couldn't help looking sideways at the treasure gate, "And you already knew that there was a treasure in Bai Yujing, and you even wanted to get this treasure from the beginning to the end?"

Lin Wangsun was ridiculed one after another, so he couldn't help getting a little angry, and said, "So what if you are? So what if you are not?"

Chu Liuxiang sighed and said: "I understand. But since you have already calculated everything, getting the treasure is just a search for something, so why bother to involve Chu? I have never done anything wrong to you, right?"

Lin Wangsun said coldly: "Brother Chu, why don't you listen to people's words? I said earlier that I didn't intend to harm you! Bai Yujing's thieves have a grudge against my father, and they are full of heart to pay off their debts. Knowing that if they come to seek revenge, I will die without a place to die! Therefore, even if my father told me in every possible way not to practice golden cicada and jade transformation, I still can't care about it..."

He seemed to be lost in memory, his face faintly showing a bit of ferocity, and after a while, he came back to his senses and said slowly, "I wrote to you that day, because Bai Yujing's revenge was imminent, and Lin was afraid that he would not be able to handle it, please It’s all for you to help... Who would have thought that I would receive the news later that Han Qi did not come back as promised, but a young boy who came back! That kid himself has only practiced half of the golden cicada and jade sloughing skills, and he usually dare not Using force, I was afraid of hurting my body, and I only wanted to open the treasure, get the whole book, and avenge my parents in addition to worrying about the future."

Chu Liuxiang said: "His thinking is not unreasonable."

Lin Wangsun laughed when he heard the words, and said bitterly: "But the brat's virtue is not worthy, picking up a city lord for nothing will not last long, and he can't even tell who to trust and who not to trust! This is simply giving away the lotus treasure. When it comes to my hand, the so-called God does not take it, but bears the blame! Is there any reason for me not to take it?"

His voice faltered suddenly, and he slowly lowered his head to look at Chu Liuxiang, "But at this point... I have given you the letter, so how can I go back on my word? Besides, if it goes according to the plan, even after I find out the treasure, I still have room for it." Persuading Brother Chu to leave... Who would have expected Master Xue Jing to get involved again? After all, Master and I met for the first time, and we really didn't dare to take the risk of letting him go, so we had to wrong Brother Chu and suffer together."

Chu Liuxiang said lightly: "So, I'm really unlucky."

Lin Wangsun was silent for a moment, and said: "Brother Chu, I think you have nothing else to ask? If you go to Huangquan Road later, you won't have any unresolved regrets?"

Seeing that he seemed to be showing murderous intent, Fang Tianzhi couldn't help saying slowly: "Amitabha!"

Lin Wangsun looked at him and saw that his eyes were as open and boundless as the sky and the great lake, and he persuaded him, "Don't benefactor Lin still want to kill people? As the saying goes, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and the shore is right when you turn back. You have known the benefactor of Chu for many years, and you really have the heart to kill him. No way? Why don't you forgive others and forgive others?"

Lin Wangsun said with a smile: "Master is really compassionate, why don't you think about yourself first? Don't worry, since I have been poisoned, why bother? When you stay here, whether you live or die depends on your own luck. .Brother Chu is lucky and fateful, maybe he will die?"

After hearing such hurtful words, Chu Liuxiang didn't show any strange expression, as if she was completely disappointed.He sighed softly, and said indifferently: "In that case, Brother Lin, go and do your own thing. I'll wait here to fend for myself, and before I die, I can open my eyes and see the secrets of the so-called lotus treasure." !"

Lin Wangsun said: "That's fine. It's time to get down to business." But as he said this, his feet didn't move, he just turned around and looked at Shen Mian, "Mian Mian, come here."

Shen Mian was startled suddenly, looked up at him at a loss, and said in the middle of her mouth, "Master Hou..."

Lin Wangsun smiled softly, and said softly, "I need your help with something. Would you like it?" He seemed to beg for permission, but regardless of whether Shen Mian agreed or not, he just took out something from his bosom, Spread it out in the palm of your hand, "Did you see the hole in the door? Take this thing and go open the door."

Shen Mian looked into his hand, and saw that what was lying in his palm was the jasper lotus flower taken from the golden hairpin.She hesitated for a while, and was about to raise her head to speak, but suddenly saw Lin Wangsun's eyes fixed on her like a vulture, which made her tremble all over, and took half a step back!

But with such eyes, he said in a harmonious voice: "Go. Be careful, I will watch you from behind."
