[Comprehensive martial arts] Holy Monk

After Chu Liuxiang finished speaking, Fang Tianzhi read the remaining two lines of seal characters clearly——

"Urgency, the king of hidden weapons."

The momentum is like a torrential rain hitting pear blossoms...

If there is a hidden weapon with such power in the world, it is not an exaggeration to call it the king of hidden weapons.

Fang Tianzhi looked at the simple and exquisite silver box, thoughtful in his heart, but he heard Lin Wangsun said: "When it comes to martial arts, my father is really not one-tenth as good as that man, and I was lucky to survive under his hands because of this Hidden weapon."

Chu Liuxiang took the silver box in his hand and looked at it solemnly, and sighed for a long time: "For decades, the heavy rain and pear blossom nails have caused so much blood and blood. I thought it would have been lost long ago, but unexpectedly it was hidden in the hands of the old hou " He put the silver box back on the table, and asked, "It is said that once the rainstorm pear blossom nails are sent out, no one can escape."

Lin Wangsun nodded and said: "That's right. Back then, my father was afraid of that man's superb martial arts skills, so he hid the hidden weapon in his sleeve and didn't use it until someone else flashed in front of him, and then he suddenly plotted—" He paused, "Speaking of which It's not an aboveboard act, it's just that my father's fate is at stake, and he is eager for revenge, so he doesn't care about so much."

Chu Liuxiang said: "So, the people on the boat came back, not only for the old grievances on the island, but also to avenge their city lord." When he said this, he suddenly felt strange, and couldn't help but wonder. , "This group of people landed on a big boat, but the leader is called the city lord. They are alone overseas, so they actually built a city by themselves?"

Lin Wangsun smiled wryly, and said: "Brother Chu has too many questions, I will answer them one by one next." He raised his hand and pointed at the Rainstorm Pear Blossom on the table, and asked, "Brother Chu is one of the best masters of hidden weapons in the world. Hidden weapon, can you see anything wrong?"

Chu Liuxiang was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help lowering her head to look again.The light from the light sprinkled on the body of the box, illuminating the pinholes of the hidden weapon gleamingly. He looked at the three rows of pinholes, and suddenly his heart moved slightly, and he raised the hidden weapon to look at the light.After seeing it, he put down the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Nail with a strange expression on his face, and looked at the two people beside him.

Lin Wangsun sighed, and said to Fang Tianzhi: "Brother Chu already understands. It's just that the two of us are playing charades here, and I really neglected the mage."

Since Fang Tianzhi sat in this flower hall, he could not speak without talking, as if he had practiced closed-mouth meditation. This is because now, he only needs to listen and watch more, and he is happy to observe and think from the sidelines.But the master was so polite, so he smiled without being disturbed, and said gently, "You don't need to be too polite, the poor monk has really gained a lot of knowledge by listening to the two of you."

Lin Wangsun Yue also smiled slightly because of his demeanor, picked up the silver box and flicked it lightly.There was a soft ding, and a small needle drawer suddenly popped out from behind the silver box.Fang Tianzhi took advantage of the light to take a look, but saw that the needle drawer that he lightly placed in front of him was empty, and half of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Nail was missing.

Lin Wangsun looked at the needle drawer with a gloomy expression, and said for a while: "You two saw it. The pear blossom nails are just an empty box in the rainstorm. Back then, my father nailed all 27 silver needles to the man, but He was not killed on the spot....He was heartbroken, he waved away my father indiscriminately, and fled madly with a hidden weapon in his body like this."

Chu Liuxiang was thrilled to hear it, and imagined it for a long time, but she didn't know how high the martial arts of the city lord was.

Fang Tianzhi is different.He has been copper-skinned and iron-skinned for a long time, and he has become much numb. He doesn't think it's a big deal to be shot by a hidden weapon. Seeing that Chu Liuxiang was silent, he asked, "The reason why Lin Benefactor is so worried is that the city lord was lucky enough not to die. , come back for revenge?"

Lin Wangsun said: "That's right. From my point of view, he is definitely not dead."

Fang Tianzhi thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "The benefactor is right. If he had died long ago, the disciples under him would not have to wait until today to avenge him. Perhaps it was because the old Marquis seriously injured him back then, which forced him to cultivate up to now. .”

Lin Wangsun thought deeply and said: "The master is very right! I think so. I don't know what brother Chu thinks?"

Chu Liuxiang didn't know what he was thinking about, so he smiled back and said: "It really makes sense. I remembered that something happened in Qianxing Villa 18 years ago. Old Hou Ye had been in seclusion for a year without seeing outsiders. He must have been injured by that person's palm gone."

A sad look flashed across Lin Wangsun's face, and he said: "That's right. My father was hurt by him at the root, and he was so ashamed of Shen Shibo's family, so his health has been very bad. In the next few years, he will think about it day and night, He gained a lot of fame after being thoroughly enlightened in martial arts. But I heard from his old man that his martial arts at that time were probably far from the opponent of that city lord. He hated it deeply, and soon left depressed."

Chu Liuxiang had no intention of bringing up the sadness of his friend, and said softly, "My condolences to Brother Lin."

Lin Wangsun waved his hand lightly, and tried to cheer himself up, "It's okay. As for Brother Chu asking me if they have a city on the sea, I don't know about it. Everything I know is what my father told me before he was alive. It’s just that I heard the man in white with the bow call their master ‘City Lord’.”

Chu Liuxiang nodded.After thinking for a while, he asked again: "I still have one thing I don't understand. Back then, the Shen family's daughter was about to reach her [-]th day, so why didn't there be any guests from afar in the village?"

Lin Wangsun said: "Brother Chu doesn't know something. She was born less than a month old and was very weak since she was a child. Shen Shibo was afraid that her luck would be ruined if the hundred days were over, so he didn't want to make it public at that time. He only invited a few family friends to celebrate .”

Chu Liuxiang was stunned when he heard it, and smiled silently: "So that's how it is."

Lin Wangsun said: "The old things are like this. I don't know if you two have anything else to ask?"

Fang Tianzhi waited for a while, and caught a glimpse of Chu Liuxiang from the corner of his eye, but he didn't know what he was thinking, so he took the lead and asked, "Amitabha, I wonder if the old Marquis has ever mentioned the appearance of the Chou family?"

Lin Wangsun recalled for a moment, and said: "The people on the boat are all wearing white clothes, and the leaders are wearing red silk around their waists. They are very recognizable. My father didn't pay much attention to the four leaders. He never told me. Only one of them was cut off. If the arm is broken, it may be a bit eye-catching. I have ordered my men to pay attention to the face of the broken arm, but so far nothing has been found."

Fang Tianzhi asked, "What about the city lord?"

Lin Wangsun sighed: "This is the second thing I invite you two to see."

As he spoke, he took out a scroll from the brocade box at hand.

The scroll was one foot wide, and I don't know how long it was. It was mounted with bright red silk and satin, which made Lin Wangsun's fingers paler.

But he said slowly: "My father is still brooding over the past, afraid that I will not know who my enemy is in the future, so he specially made a small portrait of that person before his death."

Hearing that there was a portrait as evidence, both Fang and Chu were very concerned about it, and they couldn't care less about other things, their eyes were fixed on Lin Wangsun's hand.

Lin Wangsun slowly unfolded the painting, and said: "According to his old man, the appearance of that person is almost the same as the portrait. I think that even if his appearance has deteriorated in the past 18 years, he will not be much different."

Chu Liuxiang heard the words and said: "It turns out that Lord Hou is also good at painting."

Lin Wangsun smiled bitterly, and said: "It's not that my father is good at painting. It's really that person who has the ability to make people never forget. My father only draws him day and night, and after several years, he naturally looks like him—" He Before he finished speaking, the scroll was completely unfolded, Lin Wangsun didn't even look at it, he put the painting on the table and turned to the two of them, "What I said is true, you two will know it at a glance."

Fang Tianzhi glanced at the person in the painting, the finger that was moving the Buddha beads involuntarily paused, and then moved slowly again.

His heart was beating loudly, and he felt as if ten thousand drums were beating together, he was really astonished to the extreme.But he has always had the ability to hide his emotions and anger, and in the face of major events, no matter how shocked he is, he only stays in the dark, his face is normal, his breathing is smooth, and he looks at the person in the portrait indifferently—

That is clearly his uncle Liu Miao!

Uncle Master turned out to be from the boat?Or their city lord?Wasn't he captured, but his memory restored?So why did Ma Lian Zhang lie? Whose person is he?The uncle took so much trouble to attract him, and why?

If Master Shu didn't lie to him, then Lin Wangsun was lying?

Why did he lie to himself, or Chu Liuxiang?

There was no clue, no clue, no answer to what he was thinking right now.

Fang Tianzhi's thoughts were chaotic, but Chu Liuxiang's thoughts were all on the painting, and he didn't notice anything strange.

As soon as his eyes touched the portrait on the painting, he smiled and said: "Well, this life has such a face, it really can be called unforgettable."

Lin Wangsun had fun in his bitterness, and joked: "That's right, so when a handsome man like Xiang Shuai does something bad, it's best not to be seen by others. Otherwise, whoever takes a look at him won't forget it."

Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose and didn't answer, and took a closer look at the portrait, then looked at the two small characters on the upper right of the drawing paper, and read, "Han Qi—is this his name?"

Lin Wangsun said: "That's right. The reason why my father knew his name was because Shen Shibo had received a murder post. The post was vague, it only said that he would come to kill Shen's family on a few days. Sign the post It was Han Qi. Shen Shibo had never heard of this person, and the power of Qianxing Mountain Villa was so powerful in the southeast, and he was always kind to others, so he just acted like an unknown person and talked nonsense. After a brief mention with his father, he put the matter aside Afterwards, he didn't take it to heart. When my father thought about it afterwards, he always regretted it, so it is unforgettable."

When he said this, he sighed again, and took out the last two things from the brocade box - a piece of silver-rust iron token, and a greeting card wrapped in snow satin, "A month ago, the concierge of our house received this letter." Star-leading Token. Star-leading Villa has been burned down by fire. The only remaining silver token in this world can only be the side that my father lost back then. The post was just delivered a few days ago, bluntly saying that I will visit the house on the [-]th of this month. Brother Chu might as well take a look."

Chu Liuxiang took the post and read it, and said, "When the full moon is on the [-]th..." He handed the post to Fang Tianzhi, and continued, "In other words, after three days, the people on board will come to kill people? "

Fang Tianzhi looked at the book in the post without moving his face, and saw that the handwriting was unfamiliar, and it was not written by his uncle himself.He took another look at the last signature, but it was still the word "Han Qi".

Lin Wangsun laughed at himself and replied: "If they are not joking, then it must be so."

Just when the atmosphere was gloomy and depressed, Chu Liuxiang suddenly picked up the teacup and drank half a sip of herbal tea in a leisurely manner.

Facing Lin Wangsun's hesitant gaze, he pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "Brother Lin, don't worry, since the people on the boat have shown the greeting cards, it's useless for us to think too much, why don't we just wait until the day of the full moon."

Lin Wangsun was taken aback: "Brother Chu, you—"

Chu Liuxiang, as if he had never heard of it, turned to Fang Tianzhi and inquired, "What do Master Xue Jing think?"

Fang Tianzhi gathered the Buddhist beads in his hand when he heard the words, and replied: "The poor monk also has the same intention. Now the enemy is in the dark, but I can see where the uncle is. The poor monk has no idea where the uncle is. I hope that the people on the boat will come to the door. Come, when the time comes, it will only be blocked by soldiers, and covered by water and earth."

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "That's right, it's the soldiers who come to block and the water to cover."

The two of them talked speculatively, but Lin Wangsun didn't take it seriously.He didn't expect things to go so fast, his face became paler and his expression became more anxious when he heard it, and he said solemnly: "No! Brother Chu, brother, I have something important to entrust to you, don't you want to agree?"

Chu Liuxiang tapped the teacup with her fingertips: "The tea is already cold, Brother Lin, won't someone bring some hot tea for me?"

Lin Wangsun didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard the words, he sat down awkwardly and said, "Brother Chu!"

Seeing this, Chu Liuxiang said sternly: "If my prediction is correct, then who sent you the post, you haven't found it yet, right?"

Lin Wangsun felt a little shame on his face, and said: "It is true."

Chu Liuxiang said: "You don't know the face of the horse?"

Lin Wangsun didn't say anything this time, but just nodded.

Chu Liuxiang was not surprised, and said: "It seems that the preparations of the people on board are very secretive and thorough. Their tentacles have already reached places that you can't see clearly. At this time, if you want to send Shen Mian out of Haihou City, why not?" Do you know whether to send her to the tiger's mouth? According to what you said, the people on the boat will take revenge, so they may not let Shen Mian go. After all, 18 years ago, Qianxing Villa also had an enmity with her."

Lin Wang Sunchou said: "Why don't I know? I dare not send her away rashly, nor dare to take her back to the mansion to take care of her. I am afraid that it will be self-defeating and expose her to the eyes of the enemy. After thinking about it, only Brother Chu can entrust her to you." It's gone." He leaned slightly towards Chu Liuxiang with a slight gaffe, clenched his hands into fists on the table, and persuaded, "Brother Chu, this matter has nothing to do with you. I just ask you to take her away. Leave Haihou City at night, don't bother with the others, and don't ask any more questions."

But Chu Liuxiang said lightly: "I can't help you with this. First, I can't ignore my friend in danger." He ignored Lin Wangsun's interruption, and continued, "Second, I also There is no way to take her away safely."

Lin Wangsun opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment.

Seeing his expression, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "Brother Lin, you think Chu is too powerful, don't you? I'm lucky enough to survive today, but it's just a bit of luck." He sighed He took a deep breath, "You are a fan of the authorities, and if you care about it, you will be in chaos. If you don't even know the situation in Haihou City, how can I, Chu Liuxiang, a little foreign loach, have the ability to hide a big living person quietly? Walk?"

Lin Wangsun's face turned pale.He was silent for a while, then asked back: "Brother Chu, is there really no way out?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "There is only one way for me right now, and that is to wait. If you are lucky, you can pass this test; if you are not lucky, you will have to wait to die."

Lin Wangsun calmed down.As if he knew he was desperate, the aristocratic demeanor that he had cultivated over the years gradually returned to him, and the gaffe just now disappeared like a cloud of smoke.He looked at Chu Liuxiang silently for a long while, then came back to his senses and said softly: "If I knew this, why should I drag Brother Chu into the muddy water?... I messed up my own way... Really made Brother Chu laugh." He gently pulled the silver and red rope under the table.

After a while, a maid with a high bun outside the curtain approached gracefully with a tray and offered three new cups of tea.

Lin Wangsun said with a smile: "Stop talking, let's drink tea. But after this cup of tea is finished, please go back."

Chu Liuxiang was expressionless, and said coldly: "Now, do you still think I will leave?"

Lin Wangsun looked at him fixedly, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Brother Chu, perhaps the most proud thing in Lin's life is that he made friends with you." Regarding Chu Liuxiang's departure, he turned to Fang Tianzhi and said, "I don't know what the mage's plan is?"

Fang Tianzhi had planned a long time ago, when he heard the words, he bowed slightly to Lin Wangsun, and said in a harmonious voice: "Amitabha, I dare not be called a mage. The two of you can just call the poor monk by his dharma name." The benefactor donated food, and the poor monk’s stomach is full. I am really grateful. It’s just that it’s getting late, and the poor monk has nowhere to stay. I wonder if I can stay at the mansion for a few days with the cheek?”

Lin Wangsun knew the meaning behind his words, but still considered it carefully: "If the mage is willing to stay in the humble house in normal times, I will treat him with hospitality, but now... I am afraid that the mage will be hurt."

Fang Tianzhi smiled and said: "The benefactor is relieved, the poor monk has practiced boxing and kicking for several years, not to mention that he has more than enough to protect himself, maybe he can use his meager strength when the time comes." Seeing Lin Wangsun hesitated, he said again, "It's a sin! The monk went down the mountain to find out the whereabouts of his uncle, and no matter what, the people on the boat always wanted to see each other. Now that they are overthinking their abilities, they are talking about helping each other out of selfishness, and I hope that the benefactor will be generous."

When he got to this point, he expected that Lin Wangsun would not refuse again, so he listened to him and said: "In that case, the mage just stay here."

Fang Tianzhi achieved his goal, and finally said: "Amitabha, thank you benefactor."

Lin Wangsun coughed lightly, dipped the hot tea in his mouth slightly, and said, "It must have been hard for you two to come from a long distance, why don't you leave tonight, and wait until tomorrow morning, and then I will host a banquet for you."

The guests did as the host did, and the three sat up and walked out of the flower hall side by side.

The light snow is like fluff, the wind and cold hit the face, and the cool air enters the lungs, which makes people's consciousness clear.

Lin Wangsun personally ordered his servants to entertain him, and then he stood quietly on the steps and watched Fang and Chu go away with the servants carrying the lamp.

When he came to the corner of the flower tree, Fang Tianzhi turned his head slightly and glanced back, he could still see the figure of Lin Wangsun from the corner of his eye, while Chu Liuxiang was more casual, and smiled at the servant who led the way: "This master is just here, and he is not familiar with the people here. Road. Please take the trouble to find two adjacent courtyards for the two of us."

The servant bowed lightly, and said politely: "According to Young Master's arrangement."
