Weird show

※one※

Peach Blossom Town is a town that never sleeps, it is extremely lively every night.There are drunks singing loudly in the street, there are obscene words and songs by singers in the courtyard, and there are all sorts of strange and indecent sounds one after another, enough to make honest people blush.

Amidst all the noise, Wen Chen quietly knocked on the back door of Chisu Gate's small courtyard, and told Qin Songfeng that she had found a person who called herself "Lawman Fir Shan".

"Guess what? A sour literati came to my house today and wants to write poems." Wen Chen didn't know why Qin Songfeng was looking for Fir Shan, so he looked relaxed and smiled at Yan Yan, "Xiao Xing and Xiao Lian are with him, I I went to the study to find paper and pens for him, and I accidentally found out the things that Xiao Lian used to learn painting with Qingteng, and found that Qingteng's signature on the painting was called 'Fengshan Layman'."

"Qingteng," Qin Songfeng was taken aback, "is that the one who wrote "Renewing Fate"?"

"Yes, a talented woman who is well-known far and near." Wen Chen said, "The first thing she is famous for is writing operas, and the second one is playing flute. She doesn't even need to inscribe, and the inscriptions written on paintings are flamboyant. My Xiaolian I'm a bit learned, I don't know a lot of Chinese characters, if you didn't mention the word fir, I still can't recognize it..."

"What is this Ivy's origin?"

Wen Chen said: "I came to Peach Blossom Town at the end of last year. She said that she used to make a living in the south, but her hometown is in the north. She wants to return to her roots when she is old."

"Then the people around her were all brought from the south?"

"No, she came from the south alone. There is no one in the family. She only hired an old mother here to do rough work. She said that southerners can't speak northern dialect, so she doesn't like to come with her."

Qin Songfeng asked: "Who are those people who acted for her?"

"It's a local troupe in Peach Blossom Town, not her own subordinates. We just take what we need from each other."

A "talented woman" who is over thirty years old came here alone from the south. It was weird at first, but Peach Blossom Town is a place where everyone sees strange things, and no one cares about them.

Qin Songfeng took a step in front of Wenchen, and said in a deep voice, "You must not tell anyone what happened today, and from now on, stay away from that ivy."

His voice was too serious, Wen Chen took a step back in shock, and nodded after a moment of panic, "Okay, I understand."

Wen Chen quietly left when there was no one around, Pan Ziyun, Xiao Jiu and Sun Chengxiu all heard her words and gathered in the yard.

Qin Songfeng turned around and said to them: "Pan Ziyun killed six remnants of the Su family before he met us, four were killed when Miss Xi was alive, and the remaining two were killed at the beginning of this year, which means that Su Yanlong has been active in the south until last year. At the end of the year, for revenge, he approached Yongping Mansion.

"Qingteng really doesn't know martial arts, I can't be wrong. But this place is not far from Yanshan School, Qingteng put his home here, it may be convenient for the Sumen killer to pretend to be a client to settle here, pass on news, and wait for the opportunity to go to Yanshan School action."

Ji Shuliu nodded: "This statement makes sense." Then he shivered suddenly: "She wrote "Renewing Fate"!"

Except for Qin Songfeng, who has never read "Continuing Fate", Qin Songfeng frowned and thought about the plot, and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong?"

"The sisters are nearly 20 years apart, and they married the same husband——Shang Fengxian's cousin is Shang Fengying, one of Yanshan's twin phoenixes. Su Qian's wife is said to be very good at martial arts. Is Mrs. Su Shang Fengying? She is extremely jealous Sheng, but did not kill Su Yanlong and Shang Fengxian, just because Shang Fengxian was her sister?

"And don't you think it's strange? Although the "Continuing Fate" was weird, at least it ended with a happy reunion, but at that time Qingteng stood on the stage with a melancholy expression, and the tunes he played were also very sad, as if there was sadness hidden in his heart."

Sun Chengxiu opened her eyes slightly: "After all, Shang Fengying is one of the two phoenixes of Yanshan Mountain. She used to often walk on the rivers and lakes. She is not like Shang Fengxian who has low martial arts and weak temperament. Is she really so... not worthy?"

Pan Ziyun answered: "Xu Biao has loved Su Qian's little wife for a lifetime, and he didn't realize it until he died, and he was very disappointed."

Xiao Jiu said leisurely: "Yanshan School is a place that only cares about swordsmanship and disregards fame and fortune. The good people in it don't care about fame and fortune, so they are very good, and the bad people don't care about fame and fortune, so they are very bad." She smiled sarcastically. There are at least traces to follow, and Xu Biao is the most difficult to guard against. Although I didn't expect it before, now it seems that Mrs. Su is so bad, she really looks like someone sent by Yanshan."

The wind and snow have been raging recently, and Qingteng's business is deserted. She doesn't seem to be in a hurry to solicit customers. She either lives indoors or goes shopping in the downtown area.

Qin Songfeng followed him for several days and saw no abnormalities, so he decided not to delay any longer. Whether it was a coincidence or something wrong with Qingteng, he would naturally know if he set her up with her.

In the evening of that day, Qin Songfeng, who was dressed as a prostitute, and Pan Ziyun and Ji Shuliu, who were dressed as servants, paid a visit to this famous talented woman in Taohua Town, while Sun Chengxiu and Liu Junwen were on the lookout.

Qingteng still maintains her usual unhurried and steady appearance, and her every move seems to be in harmony with a certain rhythm.Qin Songfeng said to her: "I seem to have seen you in Hero Town before."

"Oh? When and where?"

Qin Songfeng said: "It was at the home of a Mr. Wu. His wife, Mrs. Shang, and an uncle of mine are old acquaintances."

Qingteng looked at Qin Songfeng silently, without answering.

Qin Songfeng pretended not to notice the complicated expression on her face: "Mr. Wu's family went to Loukong. My uncle has been looking for Mrs. Shang for many years. You are Miss Lengshan, can you find out where Mr. Wu went?"

Qing Teng let out a long sigh, picked up a jug casually, and poured some sweet wine into a wine glass: "This matter is a long story, young master, please use it slowly."

With her left hand, she subtly turned the unremarkable wine glass on the table.Qin Songfeng shot suddenly, but it was too late to grab Qingteng's wrist.Qing Tengyuan was sitting on a wide high pier, and the ground under the high pier suddenly collapsed, bringing her into a secret room underground.

A solid iron fence spanned her head, separating her from those above.

Qing Teng looked up and smiled at the bottom: "Second Sect Master Qin, with your lightness skills, a small mechanism will definitely not be able to trouble you, the little girl is very self-aware, it is safer to use this mechanism to design someone else's mechanism for self-protection. "

The secret room only has an entrance and no exit. Qin Songfeng lowered his head and said, "Wouldn't it be easy for us to deal with you from above?"

Qingteng still smiled slightly, and said surprisingly: "You know my name is 'Fir Shan', Xiaolian exposed it, right? No wonder I met Xiaolian on the road yesterday, her expression was evasive, it seems that someone warned her Get away from me."

Ji Shuliu said: "Isn't it also your credit that Xiaolian gave the second door master the medicine that day?"

Qingteng raised her eyebrows lightly: "Little Lian, I don't know whether to say that she is too obedient or too impatient. On the night she first met you, I happened to come to ask her to teach Xiao Yi, and she whispered to me. It is said that a handsome young man surnamed Qin and a handsome young man surnamed Ji came here and then left. Seeing that she was moved, I deliberately told her the story of a woman in a brothel who secretly drugged and found a lover. After a few days, I thought about making another medicine that can make people feel weak, and mixed it with the aphrodisiac and gave it to her. Who would have thought that if I didn't pay attention, she would start it on her own, and the medicine that I gave didn't last long, I heard Seeing that Wen Chen was shouting, he immediately sent a letter to inform his fellow sect to make up an ambush, but it was a pity that he sent someone to try a move, and found that the second sect master Qin's skills had not slowed down at all, so the subsequent ambush did not proceed."

While Qingteng was speaking, Qin Songfeng twirled the wine glass but failed, and began to search in other places in the house: "Since this is a mechanism you use to design others, there must be a place on it that can open the door."

"Exactly, please try as you please, but it seems that there is no time. You guys chose a very unlucky day. I saw Xiaolian dodging me yesterday. I thought she was interested in you, so I paid attention and left a letter to just now. The masters who come here, if something happens to me, they will directly use Xiao Lian."

Qingteng took out an iron flute from her bosom, and played it without waiting for the person above to try to stun her——

The next door is Wen Chen's house.Suddenly there was a scream, then another scream, a burst of sinister laughter, and finally a distant horse neighing.

Qin Songfeng's face changed slightly, the scream was Xiaolian's voice, the scream was Wen Chen's voice, but the sinister smile was very similar to Su Yulong's voice!

Qin Songfeng rushed out of the door, asked Liu Junwen to get a few horses immediately, and rushed to Wenchen's residence by himself.

The lanterns in the courtyard were brightly lit, illuminating a bloodstain that continued outside the door, and Xiao Lian lay limp beside the bloodstain, crying unceasingly.

"What's going on?" Xiao Jiu and Qin Songfeng rushed to ask Xiaolian.Xiao Lian was trembling and unable to speak.

Ji Shuliu also arrived, bent down, and said word by word: "I'll cry later, let me tell you what happened to Wen Chen first, why is Xiao Xing gone?"

Maybe his tone was too serious, but Xiao Lian actually stopped crying temporarily: "Xiao Xing went to someone else's house and didn't come back, my mother..." She couldn't help but shed tears again, "She blocked me with a sword, and was shot by that guest. Captured! The guest was going to stab me and catch me, but my mother was injured and refused to let go. The guest suddenly smiled slyly, left me and took her away..."

The footprints on the snow were covered with dots of blood. I don't know how many injuries Wenchen suffered.

Liu Junwen has brought three horses, Sun Chengxiu stayed in the house looking for the mechanism to open the secret room, Qin Songfeng and Ji Shuliu rode together, followed the horseshoe prints on the snow with Xiao Jiu and Pan Ziyun.

※three※

Going north after leaving Taohua Town, there is Wansong Valley between Taohua Town and Yingxiong Town. Su Yulong dismounted next to a fork in the valley.The horseshoe prints disappeared, and the empty old horses were randomly tied to the side of the road. There was a line of eye-catching footprints on the fork road, and a few drops of fresh blood were left along the way.

Was it the injured Wen Chen who was left behind when someone dragged him off his horse?

There are only pine trees around here, there is no place to hide a person...or a dead body.So Wen Chen was probably brought by Su Yanlong's side.

Wansong Valley lives up to its name. The surrounding trees are dense, most of which are pine trees. The white snow covers dark pine needles, and there are many branches broken by the snow on the road.

This so-called fork in the road was originally stepped on by hunters and herb collectors, and it was interrupted at the periphery of the pine forest.Su Yanlong's footprints were also interrupted along the road, but if you look carefully around, you will find that the snow on a nearby tree has been trampled.Apparently, Su Yulong jumped onto the branches here and walked among the trees.

Xiao Jiu jumped onto the tall tree next to him and looked into the distance, saying: "There are traces of trampling on many trees, and they are connected in a line. This man is probably a master. He took a person with him, but he never landed."

Qin Songfeng nodded at her, jumped onto another tree, and chased after the messy snow marks on the tree; Xiao Jiu followed closely behind, and Pan Ziyun followed in third.Ji Shuliu just gave up and chased after their figures on the ground.

Then Ji Shuliu discovered that the ground was not so easy to walk on. The terrain in the forest was inherently ups and downs, not to mention that every time the snow melted, a lot of ice would be left behind. Not to mention running fast.He walked on the ground, but he was not as fast as Qin Songfeng and Xiao Jiu on the tree.

But Ji Shuliu soon had another companion.Although Pan Ziyun has some light skills, after all, he came here by probing around or even learning it secretly. His movements are treacherous, but he can't handle the subtleties lightly. He stumbled and fell to the ground after a few trees, and fell behind with Ji Shuliu.

Qin Songfeng didn't wait for them, neither did Xiao Jiu, they flitted among the branches with sullen faces, like walking on flat ground.The cold wind from the valley poured into Qin Songfeng's lungs. Occasionally, pine needles pierced his legs through his trousers. He still felt uncomfortable at first, but soon became numb.

He was worried that Wen Chen was dead.

Wen Chen was the first person he rescued when he first came out of the rivers and lakes. At the age of 15, he was young and ignorant. He didn't know that the wounds on his heart were more difficult to heal than those on his body. He couldn't find a few sensible older women to comfort him in time. It made her lose all hope and ran away alone. Later, when she got older and thought about it by chance, he always regretted that he hadn't considered it well.They finally met again in Peach Blossom Town. Wouldn't it be even more unforgivable if Wen Chen was implicated to death because of his rash inquiring about "Fir Shan"?

Qin Songfeng's pace gradually slowed down.

On this "road", the snow was only slightly trampled at first, but the further it went, the more messy the snow became. Su Yulong seemed to be a little bit weak, and cracked some branches. The worst thing was that those cracks A half-broken tree branch can't be seen clearly in the dark, but it will suddenly break once stepped on. Fortunately, Qin Songfeng's lightness kung fu is really excellent. He stepped on and broke the branch several times, but he never fell down.

But he could see that Su Yanlong was almost exhausted.Carrying a person is no better than empty hands, and it is difficult to maintain balance. Even if Su Yanlong has two extra fats as heavy as Wen Chen, it is not as strenuous as carrying Wen Chen himself.He can't run too far.

Sure enough, the traces on the tree hadn't disappeared yet, and Qin Songfeng had already heard the indistinct human voice mixed with the howling mountain wind, and even felt that in addition to Su Yulong, there were some Sumen killers in ambush nearby.He waved his hand backwards, motioning for Xiao Jiu, who was more than ten meters away, to silence, then lightly jumped onto a short pine tree, and slid down the trunk quietly.He walked forward in the snow for a while, and the human voice in the distance gradually became clear.

"... Guess when the Second Sect Master Qin will come to rescue you?" A gloomy voice said.

Wen Chen's voice became weird because of the pain, but it seemed extremely tough: "Don't want him to save you, as long as he helps me take the lives of your Su men, I will die with no regrets."

Qin Songfeng finally heard a bit of Wen Chen from ten years ago in this voice.
