Relief

Hearing this, Yueguanshan couldn't help feeling: "The image of the little daughter's hypocrisy is really vivid on the paper."

Wu Li bit the red bean cake and interjected, "I have a question."

Xie Zhixu cooperated and said, "Please tell me."

"If I remember correctly, the wife of Liang Zhen, the owner of the Liang family, is the daughter of the island in the lake. But since the eldest daughter is excellent in martial arts, how can she let the family manipulate her, why don't she leave and be at ease?"

Xie Zhixu glanced at Feng Zhichang before answering, Liu Liu brought him tea, he concentrated on tasting cakes and tea, wondering if he had spared his ears.

"This is the strange thing. In fact, in order to get rid of this marriage, the eldest daughter left the country long before her family found out."

The eldest daughter ran away from home for the second time, and she is as decisive and agile as she was when she was a child. No matter what stage of her life she is in, she has firm and clear goals and never delays in doing things.The moment she walked out of the hall where Qiu Hengdao ordered her to marry Liang Zhen, the daughter of Hu Zhongdao disappeared without a trace again.

In order to find the eldest daughter, Qiu Hengdao dispatched all the disciples in the sect.In fact, it was not necessary, because the eldest daughter did not deliberately hide her whereabouts at all, and leaving was just to show her attitude, and the sum of all the islands in the lake was not her opponent.

Qiu Hengdao vomited blood in a hurry.

The youngest daughter, Xingye, rushed to the inn where her sister was staying, but was turned away.

It was raining heavily at night. In my sister's world, killing people on a rainy day is the art of killing, but to my sister, she would only pear blossoms and rain begging for help.

The youngest daughter knelt in the heavy rain all night, but before she could get her sister to change her mind, she returned home with a high fever and never got sick.

From the disciples to the tenants of Hu Zhongdao, everyone said that the eldest lady turned out to be an unfilial daughter with a beastly face and a hard heart.

Seeing that the youngest daughter was seriously ill and dying, and the Liang family was eager to beg for marriage, Qiu Hengdao simply handed over the eldest daughter's birthday card.This time, the Liang family and the Qiu family rushed to the inn where the eldest daughter was.At this time, the eldest daughter was still calm and calm, she didn't hide or hide, she just stayed where she was, waiting for Liang Zhen, who was still a noble son at that time, to push the door of fate, and the two who met by chance fell in love at first sight, fell in love, and became consummated married.

"Stop!" Yue Guanshan said, "Why is your story anticlimactic? Are we the audience stupid? The story of love at first sight has been written badly by the script. Is there such a thing as love at first sight in the world!"

Wu Li squinted: "Just because you haven't met it doesn't mean others haven't."

Xie Zhixu said: "So this matter is quite strange. In fact, there is a second version of the second half of this story."

Although the Liang family only wanted to get married with Hu Zhongdao, it wasn't that they didn't care about the future mistress. Before the appointment, Liang Zhen had visited Hu Zhongdao many times. Qiu Hengdao knew his intention and summoned his two daughters to accompany him.

The eldest daughter doesn't stick to trifles, and always behaves like a warrior.

The youngest daughter is well-educated and reasonable, and she learns how to care for her husband, teach her children, and manage housework in her boudoir.

With the status of the Liang family, the youngest daughter was the best choice, but Liang Zhen had his eyes on the eldest daughter.It is also for this reason that Qiu Hengdao decided to add the eldest daughter.

However, the eldest daughter looked down on Liang Zhen and ran away without saying a word.

Besieged by her natal family and her future husband's family in the inn that night, the two daughters talked by candlelight at night.The youngest daughter moved her with affection and reason, and she didn't know how to impress her elder sister. That night, a good deed was accomplished, and eight palanquins were carried from the inn all the way back to Liangjiazhuang, and turned into the bridal chamber.

"What happened to the second young lady?" Liu Liu asked, her almond eyes widened and she listened intently.At her age, although she was a bit dull raised by Fengzhi Chang, she was still a curious little girl.

Xie Zhixu replied: "Second Miss returned home and married within a month. Her husband is the son-in-law who is now living on Zhongdao in the Zhuhu Lake. This son-in-law does not have a prominent background or wealth, but is good-looking and gentle-tempered. , won the favor of the second lady, and the two loved each other like a concubine, and they gave birth to their eldest son in less than two years. However, after all, the blessings were a bit thinner. When Young Master Sun was eight years old, he went on a boat trip to Dongting Island and accidentally disappeared. The island in the lake searched the entire Taihu Lake and almost drained the lake, and it was impossible to find it.”

Wu Li said: "Your second version is even more unbelievable. If the young lady doesn't like Liang Zhen, could it be that Liang Zhen's martial arts are higher than hers, and he can still rob civilian girls?"

When he got to the point of the question, Xie Zhixu's complexion became serious, he sat up straight, and said seriously: "Brother, I was just about to ask you, is there any way to remove a person's martial arts? Or, is there any martial arts that can be used once touched A certain special condition, will it be abolished by itself?"

Hearing this, everyone who listened to the story during the dinner understood what Xie Zhixu meant, and couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

Yueguanshan said: "Huagong powder? Destroying hand? But these are not enough to make people fall into the trap unconsciously. Based on your description of the young lady's skill, as long as you don't let go, you will be captured. Presumably, there will be a legacy in the legendary version." A spectacular fight. Hey man, that's beyond my knowledge."

Wu Li thought for a moment: "There are not many kung fu that need to meet certain special conditions. As far as I know, the ones that can be practiced by women, uh... Could it be the Snow Girl Manual?"

Facing everyone's eager eyes, Wu Li said slowly: "The Snow Girl Sutra is a skill created by a snow mountain goddess who has long lived in seclusion. The word color, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted, and all martial arts will be destroyed."

Silence for a while.

In the version of the story with divergent opinions and few branches and leaves, there seems to be a clear reason for it.

Even Xie Zhixu didn't expect this answer, Liu Liu even covered her lips and brows in dismay.Yueguanshan let out an ah, and asked Xie Zhixu: "Is the lady from the island in the lake you mentioned named Qiu Jiangyue?"

Xie Zhixu: "...Did you just realize it?"

Yueguanshan suddenly realized, and said again and again: "So it's Qiu Hengdao's daughter... Qiu Jiangyue is indeed the closed disciple of the Snow Mountain Goddess. Before I left, my master specially told me that the masters in the Central Plains who I want to defeat must have Qiu Jiang." Yue’s name. Oh, hehe, although it’s because my master, the old man, has always had some feuds with the Snow Mountain Goddess, but he did say that Qiu Jiangyue is a rare material for martial arts, and his talent is as good as mine. What else am I thinking It's time to inquire about her whereabouts, so she is in Liangjiazhuang?"

Xie Zhixu said: "Not only in Liangjiazhuang, but also lost all martial arts, it's useless for you to find her."

"Really, it's too sudden, I'm not prepared at all!"

Xie Zhixu felt his chest was heavy and his breathing was hard to breathe. He couldn't empathize with this experience of falling into the mire all at once: "I have seen the eldest lady with my own eyes, and I can be sure that she is really powerless. Unless the old lady back then Miss is not the same person as the current Da Furen, otherwise..."

Wu Li glanced at him.

Yue Guanshan was still skeptical: "Are you sure about it, don't you yourself—"

"Shut up." Wu Li immediately interrupted, closing Yue Guan Shan's jaw with his backhand, with such force that there was a crisp sound between his teeth.

Xie Zhixu doesn't care, even if others don't say it all these years, he himself always reads it, and it has become a habit, and he is no longer surprised when he sees it. The direction, coincidentally, is the island forest where Master Sun disappeared on the island in the lake. The hunter on the island told me that 13 years ago, the search for people on the island in the lake caused a lot of noise, which alarmed the dragon king at the bottom of the lake, and a heavy rain fell , washed away all traces, and slid down several small hills. Young Master Sun was missing for half a month. Even if he didn't share food with the beasts in the forest, he would have died of thirst and starvation, and his corpse was washed into the bottom of the lake by the heavy rain. Really The living and the dead are not seen."

He seems to have something behind the scenes.

Liu Liu withdrew from the mood of the story and looked at him quietly.Wu Li put his hand on his forehead, as smart as he is, he immediately understood that after Xie Zhixu told an anecdote, this is the main topic tonight. He had already advised the unarmed not to fight against Feng Laoer, but the younger brother was too stubborn.

Feng Zhichang put down the bamboo chopsticks, pressed the tip of the chopsticks against the edge of the oiled paper with only crumbs left, brushed the straight lip line with a silk handkerchief, and slowly raised his head to meet Xie Zhixu's inquiring gaze.His face was calm, as if he had been waiting for Xie Zhixu to throw him the question.

However, Xie Zhixu smiled, and only said: "After that, the island in the lake has listed that piece of island forest as a restricted area. Brother, you must be careful when you go in the future, so as not to be discovered."

Xie Zhixu was the last to leave the room, it was dark, and the refreshing incense in the room had faded from the tip of his nose, he turned around and closed the door, and saw Feng Zhichang sitting at the table with his head down, the lamp was not on, only the dim light of the candlestick illuminated him jaw.

He seemed to be looking at the oil paper wrapped with red bean lard cake on the table, his expression was indifferent, and he seemed to be in a quiet trance without looking at anything, isolated in the barrier formed by the story Xie Zhixu told.

Xie Zhixu took a step back, seeing Feng Zhichang's figure disappear behind the crack of the door.

"You hit the honeycomb." Wu Li patted him on the shoulder.

"Isn't it a snake's nest?" Xie Zhixu said with a smile.

"No matter what nest," Wu Li said sympathetically, "it will not end well."

Before Xie Zhixu's end came, Liang Ting's good news came first.

Life passed by in a coma, and Liang Ting, who was dying, woke up.

It was Dr. Zhang Miaoshou from Chengxi Miaoshoutang who brought the news. He rushed back to the medical hall in the Liang family's carriage, and the wind lifted the curtain of the carriage to let him catch a glimpse of Xie Zhixu walking on the same street, so he hurriedly got off the carriage.

"Thanks to my little brother's detoxification pill, which contains the ingredients needed to detoxify this poison. If it weren't for the preparation of this pill, I'm afraid it will take some time for the old man to delay the disease. Saving a life is better than creating a seven-level Futu, this old man has always wanted to get acquainted with the little brother, but because of his lack of knowledge, he searched all over the pharmacies and medical clinics and couldn't find the little brother. Today, I finally met him on the street. What a fate!"

When Xie Zhixu sent the pills, he was worried that this was another new poison developed by the second senior brother, and the Baidu Tuisan pill would not be useful.Now his mind has changed.Zhang Miaoshou told him that the powder sent by the Liang family indeed matched the poison in Liang Ting's body.

"Strangely, though, the patient seems to have been poisoned by more than just the powder."

Xie Zhixu found it strange that a doctor would use words like "it seems" because he was very precise in his consultation?

"Where did you say that?"

Zhang Miaoshou smiled helplessly: "After removing the poison from the powder, the patient still hasn't recovered, and he lost his voice."
