Still pity the grass and trees

Perhaps Xie Wufeng's conjecture is correct, there is indeed someone else who kidnapped Gong Qian's old man.They did not know what clues they had, which aroused the high vigilance of the mastermind behind the abduction case, so the assassination of Ji Tanyin was temporarily shelved.

Xie Wufeng was happy to be at leisure, sleeping until mid-morning before getting up, asking Xiaoer to bring fresh vegetables and fish, sifting hot wine, not combing his hair, just wearing a robe, sitting crookedly at the Eight Immortals table, humming a little song that was popular in the early years, Pick up vegetables leisurely.

Ji Tanyin woke up early, practiced her internal strength for a while, and began to make sword moves in her mind.After seeing the Wuchang swordsmanship, he once felt ashamed of himself, thinking that the Yushan swordsmanship created by his master could not match it.After careful consideration for the past few days, I realized that this is not the case. There are thousands of changes hidden in Yushan swordsmanship. When practiced to the extreme, it will be the same as Wuchang swordsmanship's "There is no move to win, but there is a move". It's just that I haven't understood it.

I was thinking hard, and a burst of food fragrance suddenly came with the wind.Ji Tanyin's nose fluttered twice, and Xie Wufeng called him: "Ayin, come and eat with me."

"I've eaten." Ji Tanyin shook his head, trying to return to the previous state of concentration as if he was surrounded by a pool of clear water and had no distracting thoughts.

"What's the point of practicing, I'm so bored. Come and taste today's jasmine wine, it's very sweet. And this peach blossom siu mai, uh..." Xie Wufeng's voice gradually became indistinct.

After all, Ji Tanyin was young and lacked concentration. He jumped off the Luohan bed and muttered: "Eat, eat, you will know how to eat."

Walking around the screen, I saw Xie Wufeng sitting in disheveled clothes, with black hair hanging down to his shoulder blades, smooth and shiny like satin, the sun was shining on it, and with his slight movements, sparkling waves emerged.

Ji Tanyin looked at it curiously, his eyes were soft and shy.

Xie Wufeng ordered four or five side dishes, a pot of jasmine wine, a stack of peach blossom siu mai, and a box of loquat fruit.Ji Tanyin only ate a bowl of plain noodles in the morning because of her lack of cash, but now she groaned twice in disbelief at the table full of delicacies.

Xie Wufeng gave him a siu mai, Ji Tanyin ate it, the sweetness in his mouth was still there, and another piece of cured goose was brought to his mouth.

He puffed up his cheeks and chewed vigorously, then asked casually: "You said, can the Crane Palace find out who kidnapped Gongqian's old man?"

Xie Wufeng is peeling loquats. He likes to watch Ji Tanyin eat. The young man has a good appetite, and it feels satisfying to feed him. When he heard the question, he slowed down and said, "Maybe. Do you want to find out?"

Ji Tanyin did not hesitate: "Of course, I still want to continue to investigate the abduction case. I want to know the truth."

"The truth," Xie Wufeng slowly spit out these two words.He has been in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and he has long learned to avoid the "truth". It is poison, and the more he touches it, the faster he will die.

Ji Tanyin didn't notice his worry, and was thinking about things by herself, and suddenly said "ah", her cheeks stopped agitating, and her expression was serious.

Xie Wufeng asked: "What's wrong?"

"I remembered a detail," Ji Tanyin swallowed the food in his mouth. "Earlier, Monk Jinlian asked Master Zhai and Sister Hua a question. Their expressions changed, as if they were afraid of something and refused to tell me."

Xie Wufeng frowned slightly: "What's the problem?"

Ji Tanyin raised her chin slightly, stared at the floating veil and tried her best to remember. After a while, imitating the tone of Monk Jinlian, she said: "A martial arts practitioner, why buy a child?"

Xie Wufeng was taken aback for a moment, first he was surprised and puzzled, but after a while, the blankness gradually turned into seriousness, mixed with a little disbelief.

"No way," he said, in a tone of mock-relaxed reassurance.

"You know too?" Ji Tanyin asked anxiously, "What exactly is it?"

Xie Wufeng dropped the loquat fruit, took a handkerchief and wiped the juice from his palm.He didn't speak for a while, but slowly and carefully wiped off his slender fingers one by one, until Ji Tanyin urged anxiously, and said: "Have you heard of "Supreme Martial Arts Heavenly Book"?"

"What?" Ji Tanyin repeated the title of the book, and looked at Xie Wufeng hesitantly, "It's a bit familiar... It seems that the master said it when I was a child, isn't it a good thing?"

Xie Wufeng nodded: "It's a secret book of martial arts. I don't know who it came from and which dynasty it was written in. It is said that it records the methods of practicing the supreme inner strength, as well as dozens of exquisite martial arts, including swordsmanship, swordsmanship, and boxing. You can learn it well. After that, one will count as ten, and kill all the heroes in the world."

Some long-term memories are stirring slowly under the dust. In Xie Wufeng's deep voice, Ji Tanyin remembered a bright afternoon many years ago, when he sat on Ji Heng's lap listening to a story, he opened his eyes and asked, since this cheat book is so Great, why don't you practice?

Before Ji Heng could speak, Li Chengyang, who was jumping up and down beside him, shouted loudly: "Because this is an evil book! To practice the above martial arts, you must follow its instructions and take a specific medicinal juice to reshape your muscles and bones, do you know that? Yao Yinzi is the heart and soul of boys and girls! A little boy as big as you," he playfully patted Ji Tanyin on the top of the head, threatening with a sinister voice, "will be caught and gouged out!"

At that time, Li Chengyang was seventeen or eighteen years old, like a monkey, and loved to tease Ji Tanyin the most. Ji Tanyin was still young, and was frightened by this story. Heartbroken.

"It's all fake, big brother lied to you, how can you have this book!" Ji Heng couldn't help coaxing him in a panic, and punished Li Chengyang to stand in the sun for several hours.

For a moment, the past came to mind, Ji Tanyin suppressed the complicated emotions, and asked Xie Wufeng: "Is there really this book?"

Xie Wufeng's tone was cautious: "I can't tell. There are too many legends about martial arts. After practicing, there are such things as immortality and invulnerability. How many are there in each generation? How can I do it accurately? It's just this "Supreme Martial Arts "Book of Heaven"...the legend about it is too specific, and sometimes it makes people shudder when they think about it. I also heard that there was a person who practiced the Supreme Dafa 500 years ago, and then lost his mind, became bloodthirsty, and looked like a demon. A hundred martial arts masters fought hard for three nights, with countless casualties, and finally subdued him. This battle severely damaged the vitality of the martial arts, and the population has been withered and lifeless for decades."

There was an unbearable silence in the room.

Ji Tanyin stared out of the window in a daze, and said in a low voice, "I abducted the child this time, so it's not for practicing kung fu, is it?"

Xie Wufeng saw that his brows were tightly furrowed, and persuaded him: "No, don't think too much. Even if there is a "Supreme Martial Arts Book", after that battle, it must be destroyed by senior masters."

"Yes." Ji Tanyin nodded heavily, feeling that her tone was exactly the same as that of Zhai Yuhuayueying that day. For 500 years, the long river has been rushing continuously, submerged many, washed away many, and finally only a few fragments of tiles and ruins surfaced, but these ancient and strange relics still make people feel uneasy.

Xie Wufeng changed a comfortable position and leaned back in the chair, picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat. Although the atmosphere in the room was dragged down by the conversation just now, he was indifferent by nature, and he was the kind of person who would think of a solution after the sky fell. People are therefore not affected much.

His name is Ji Tanyin: "Come and taste this tendon, it's all stewed, it melts in your mouth, it's soft, glutinous and salty."

Ji Tanyin twitched the corners of his mouth, walked back to him and sat down, eating delicious food, it tasted like chewing wax.

"A Yin." Xie Wufeng suddenly called him softly and seriously.

"Huh?" Ji Tanyin was gnawing on a duck leg absent-mindedly, without moving her head, turning her eyeball slightly upwards, and gently flapping her eyelashes.

Xie Wufeng has a lot to say, for example, everything is not yet conclusive, so don't worry too much; for example, if some things are destined to happen, no one can stop them, as long as you look up to the world and have a clear heart.However, when he looked at Ji Tanyin's fair face, he said, "Go to Crane Palace tomorrow and ask."

The supervisor of Crane Palace was surnamed Wei, who was the middle-aged man who painted bamboo that day. Seeing them frequently inquiring about the whereabouts of old man Gongqian, he said helplessly, "Brother, it's not so fast."

Ji Tanyin pleaded: "It's really urgent, brother, please send more people."

Director Wei cupped his hands and said, "The fifteen points of our Crane Palace are all communicating with each other. If we have any clues, we will of course let you know as soon as possible."

Leaving Crane Palace, walk slowly along Hoi An Street, when you reach a fork in the road, you should turn left and enter Red Butterfly Lane, Xie Wufeng was absent-minded, and walked straight ahead.Ji Tanyin called him twice, but seeing that he was deaf, he could only follow him, grabbed his sleeve, and asked, "Why are you in a daze?"

"Oh," Xie Wufeng stood still, looked around, his face was in a daze, and said: "This road can also be walked."

Ji Tanyin came in without knowing it, and saw that he had lost his usual laughing appearance, and his face showed a bit of melancholy, so he asked, "Are you feeling well?"

"Nothing, just revisit the old place."

After walking for a while, the number of pedestrians gradually increased, and a large archway appeared in front of my eyes, with the four characters "Golden Wind and Jade Dew" written on it. Looking inward, I saw tall buildings everywhere, with bucket arches and flying eaves, which was very gorgeous.Ji Tanyin faintly heard the sound of silk and bamboo, and the sound of swallows, and asked curiously: "What place is this?"

Before he finished speaking, a gust of hot summer wind rushed towards his face, carrying the scent of powder, causing him to sneeze.

Xie Wufeng laughed loudly, resumed his usual frivolous demeanor, took Ji Tanyin's arm and strode forward, saying: "It's time to teach you a lot."

Passing through the archway, the street became wider and wider. It was not yet noon, and the doors of the brothels on both sides were ajar. Occasionally, guests who stayed overnight came out listlessly, and the prostitutes arrived at the door. : "My dear Dada, I still look forward to your coming!"

The voice drilled into Ji Tanyin's ears like a snake, and she accidentally glanced at it, and saw the woman's plump breasts looming under the light gauze dress.

Ji Tanyin blushed with embarrassment, quickly lowered her head, only staring at the ground inch below her feet, and walked quickly, eager to cross the field of fireworks.

"What are you panicking about?" Xie Wufeng tugged at the hem of his shirt, slowing down his escape, and said with a smile, "It's just the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion."

Ji Tanyin turned around and broke his fingers, Xie Wufeng let go of the hem of his clothes, and immediately grabbed the sleeves again, trying to pull him into the small courtyard by the roadside, and said, "Don't you want to go in and have a look?"

"I want you to go!" Ji Tanyin broke away from his entanglement, and rushed forward without squinting.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly felt something falling from the top of his head. He thought Xie Wufeng was playing with him, so he grabbed it in his hand without looking at it.

Immediately there was a burst of booing and teasing laughter around.

"My little brother is blessed tonight!"

Ji Tanyin checked what was in his hand, and it turned out to be a handkerchief with a delicately embroidered sachet inside.

He asked blankly, "What does this mean?"

More than a dozen pedestrians on the road stopped to watch at this moment, and someone pointed at him and motioned him to look to the left.I saw a brothel called Furongyuan on the left side of the road. A small window on the third floor was open, and a young woman protruded out. Her face was covered with a white gauze, revealing a pair of tender almond eyes. She met Ji Tanyin for a moment. , shyly retracted his head.

"Hey, isn't this the top brand Zihe in Furong Garden!" A potbellied man yelled loudly, winking at Ji Tanyin while talking, "Blessed brother, Li Yuanwai can't get a smile from her by spending a lot of money, but Tell you to enjoy the spring night in vain!"

A few wretched men around him immediately gathered around him, discussing without hesitation, is that Zi He?Is it really so beautiful?have you slept

Ji Tanyin didn't like their vulgar talk, she held the sachet like gunpowder, not knowing what to do.

Xie Wufeng walked to his side, took the sachet and looked at it, he saw that it was embroidered with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and it contained more than a dozen kinds of finely divided spices.He smelled it once, then took a long look at Furongyuan, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Congratulations."
