Run the rivers and lakes

During the year Liu Yunsheng wandered around Jinling, what he heard most was the legend of Jiangzuo Five Heroes.I heard that they were sworn brothers when they were young, and they were famous in the Jianghu world.After the massacre at Qinglan Villa 20 years ago, the Jiangzuo Five Heroes parted ways and never got together again.

The leader of the Jiangzuo Five Heroes is the "Sorrowful Autumn Sword" Wei Bumian, who created his own swordsmanship with extremely high attainments. At that time, if he claimed to be the second in the world in swordsmanship, no one would dare to be the number one.

The second place is Luo Jiuyuan, who is the most legendary among the five.It is said that he was once a scholar in the court, but he gave up his official career and entered the rivers and lakes.He is gloomy and treacherous, with good eyesight and ears, making people dare not offend him. If they offend him, they will be in trouble.People in the rivers and lakes call it "Hundreds of Immortals".

When Wufangtang destroyed Qinglan Villa, for unknown reasons, Luo Jiuyuan rescued the infant son of the owner of Qinglan Villa, rode away, and disappeared ever since.Wufangtang couldn't find him all over the place for a while, so he gave up chasing him.

The third is Baishu, who is a doctor in the rivers and lakes. He is a doctor in Huajian, heals the world and heals people. He likes to wear white clothes and looks like a gentleman.Because he seldom takes shots, others don't know the number and level of his martial arts.

The fourth one is named Mo Xingfeng, who has practiced breaking the wind palm with one hand, and the wind sweeps all directions where he palms, known as "Wind and Remnant Clouds".

The fifth place is "Gu Jinghong" Gu Xueming. He has learned a unique lightness kungfu and body technique, which is agile and unpredictable, as fast as the wind, and as fleeting as a shadow of a frightened bird.After Qinglan Villa was wiped out, he started to do business and gradually developed and expanded. Now, 20 years later, the Gu family is already the number one merchant in Jinling.

There are many discussions, accusations or sighs about them helping Wufangtang to destroy the Qinglan Villa, and there are various versions. For a while, the Jiangzuo Five Heroes seemed to be characters in the story, living in the hearts of the people. After chatting.

After a long period of time, Qinglan Villa has long been a pile of dust on the ground, and the rivers and lakes are still bustling with activity, preparing for the next drama.

Three days passed by, and Wei Bumian had already been buried.This swordsman did many righteous deeds during his lifetime, but unfortunately most people have forgotten them, and his name will never be mentioned again in a few decades.The things of life, the name of death, when passing away, no one can take it away.

On the hill, there was a windy breeze, and the scene was dilapidated. Wei Shuxing, dressed in white and plain onyx, kowtowed a few times in front of the thin grave.

Standing behind Wei Shuxing, Liu Yunsheng also pretended to kowtow a few times before stepping back, standing aside and observing Wei Shuxing's uncles secretly.

The remaining Jiangzuo Five Heroes only came three people, namely Bai Shu, Mo Xingfeng and Gu Xueming, and they had long since lost the rich and handsome man in the story.

Atractylodes looks gentle, with almost no wrinkles except for the remaining lines at the corners of the eyes. She looks younger, but her body is already haggard, her face is as pale as paper, and she seems to be suffering from a serious illness. Supporting him, he coughed heavily from time to time, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.Mo Zhixing had a short white beard, but his physique was still muscular, and he looked very tough.Gu Xueming looks shrewd and tough, even if there are a few wrinkles on his face, he can vaguely see his handsome outline when he was young.

Everyone looked gloomy, and after the worship, they returned to the house, ready to discuss business.

Liu Yunsheng followed Wei Shuxing into the house very consciously. At this moment, the three uncles seemed to notice him.Mo Xingfeng looked suspiciously, and looked at Liu Yunsheng: "This little friend is...?"

Liu Yunsheng clasped his fists in a very reserved salute, and tried his best to present the sincere and embellished lie: "Xiaosheng's surname is Liu, and his name is Yunsheng. He is a friend of Wei Shu Xingwei, who was saved by Senior Wei , The grace of saving life has not yet been repaid, and the younger generation is not talented, so I will try my best to help the seniors."

Wei Shuxing glanced back at him, raising his eyebrows.

Liu Yunsheng lowered his head and secretly winked.

Wei Shuxing turned to Mo Xingfeng and said, "Brother Liu is my good friend, and his skills are also extraordinary, so it's no problem."

Mo Xingfeng sighed, patted Wei Shuxing's shoulder with relief, and said, "I think Liu Shaoxia is a good-looking talent, and my nephew has friends to accompany him, so he doesn't have to be alone. If he wants to come to the elder brother Jiuquan to learn about it, he will be relieved."

Liu Yunsheng secretly grimaced in his heart.After spending a few days with Wei Shuxing, he can be considered to have figured out his character, he is arrogant and aloof, duplicity, even though he treats people superficially politely, being polite is tantamount to alienation.He usually likes to be alone, and he doesn't see any other friends.

Fortunately, Liu Yunsheng prides himself on being heartless and thick-skinned, so there is no difficulty in sticking a cold ass.

Naturally, Wei Shuxing didn't know what Liu Yunsheng was slandering, so he dutifully introduced the people in the house to Liu Yunsheng. Liu Yunsheng saluted one by one, and when his eyes shifted to the little girl beside Bai Shu, Bai Shu gave a slight smile, and gently stroked her with his palm. At the beginning of the girl, the words were gentle, and the throat was low and hoarse: "This is Baizhi, my adopted daughter."

——Bai Shu and Mo Xingfeng are still unmarried, Bai Shu has adopted a adopted daughter, and Mo Xingfeng has been wandering in the rivers and lakes alone.

Bai Zhi smiled shyly, her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom.

Immediately, everyone started talking about serious matters, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy. Even Liu Yunsheng, who was naturally funny, couldn't help frowning.

Bai Shu had already coughed several times, and sat down on the table with Bai Zhi's support.Mo Xingfeng was impatient, he couldn't stand it anymore, made a cup of hot tea and pushed it to him, his throat was heavy: "Third brother, what is your illness, can you cure it yourself!"

"If there are any medicinal materials that are very rare and need money, feel free to tell my fifth brother." Gu Xueming also said.

Mo Xingfeng felt resentment in his heart and had no place to vent it. He happened to hear Gu Xueming's words, so he rushed to him and said: "You also have such a big business in Jinling, and your elder brother is not in good health. We are also in Jinling. Why don't you take care of him? , if you put your heart into it, the eldest brother might not..."

Gu Xueming was splashed with black water for no reason, and he felt displeased, and retorted: "Why didn't I take care of it? Brother, he just doesn't want to live well, and makes himself look like a ghost, what can I do?" ..."

"You mean that the eldest brother deserves to die?" Mo Xingfeng made a gesture to grab Gu Xueming by the collar.

Gu Xueming took a few steps back, his face was flushed, his eyes were wide open due to anger, his usual gaudy eloquence in business has now become vague and stuttering: "You, you are so impatient, always distorting my original intention! How can I I can explain it to you!"

"Okay!" Bai Zhu slammed the table heavily, coughed a few more times, and shouted in a hoarse voice, "You two have been arguing for so many years, and at this juncture, you still have to quarrel, how can there be so many things that can't be finished?" , Nephew Wei Xian is still here."

Mo Xingfeng sighed unwillingly, and sat aside, while Gu Xueming also remained silent.Wei Shuxing looked a little embarrassed, turned to look at Bai Shu with concern, and asked, "Third Uncle Bai, is your body... all right?"

Bai Shu waved his hands, his face was pale and bloodless, and he said weakly: "Your third uncle is a long-term illness and became a doctor. Many of the root causes of the disease are from childhood. It's just that these problems have bullied me as I grow old, and they gradually emerged. Don't worry. Your third uncle can hold on."

Bai Zhi lowered her head behind him, put her hand on his shoulder lightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Nephew, before I come, can you find someone to look at your father's... dead body, can you know the cause of death?" Bai Shu asked.

Wei Shuxing nodded, and replied: "My father has no other wounds on his body, except the hole on his shoulder that was pierced by a hidden weapon. My father should have died from this hidden weapon."

He took out a wooden box from a drawer by the wall and put it on the table. He opened the box, and inside the box lay a short, thin arrow with a thin and sharp blade, and was still stained with blood.

Bai Shu carefully wrapped it in silk cloth, picked up the short arrow from the box, observed it carefully, and was reminded by Wei Shuxing: "There is residual poison in the arrow."

Bai Shu put down the arrow, thoughtfully said: "Yes, otherwise how could he be killed by one arrow." Turning around, he asked again: "Do you know what kind of poison it is?"

Wei Shuxing shook his head.

Baishu sighed and said to him, "Third Uncle wants to take it back to study."

Wei Shu bowed and saluted, his eyes were warm: "Then I will trouble third uncle."

Bai Shu raised Wei Shuxing's arm, and asked Gu Xueming, "Where is this An Qingzi, I see something strangely familiar."

Mo Xingfeng turned annoyed and gave Gu Xueming a blank look: "I'm so familiar, this is the ordinary An Qingzi that can be found everywhere, anyone would think it looks familiar!"

"you!……"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Bai Shu just felt a headache, ignored it, and continued to ask Wei Shuxing: "Shuxing, did your father give you any keys?"

"Ah? What key." Wei Shuxing was suddenly stunned.

Both Gu Xueming and Mo Xingfeng were reminded.Gu Xueming took out a silver key from his collar, which was one size larger than ordinary keys. The word "Gu" was engraved on it, which was clearly visible: "That's it, have you seen it?"

Wei Shuxing recalled for a moment, nodded, and said, "I've seen this thing before. Dad usually carries it with him, but after he was killed...it disappeared."

The expressions of several people instantly turned gray and defeated, as if they were electrocuted.

Wei Shuxing quickly asked, "What is this key? It's so important."

Bai Shu seemed to have an unspeakable secret, and glanced at Liu Yunsheng.

Liu Yunsheng was thinking about whether he should leave the door, when he heard Wei Shuxing say, "Brother Liu won't tell, he's one of his own."

"?"

Liu Yunsheng was at a loss. He didn't know where the trust of the lonely and arrogant young guard in front of him came from. Could it be that his hard work and hard work these past few days really moved him deeply?Anyway, it's always exciting to hear secrets, no matter what.

"Okay," Bai Shu sighed again, rubbed his forehead, and said concisely, "This key was specially made by someone when the five of us became sworn brothers. Keep the practice of 'returning the age and changing the world', and don't pass it on to others..."

"So with these five keys, you can get this exercise?" Wei Shuxing guessed.

Bai Shu nodded and said, "Almost. It's just that only the five of us know about it, so we were so surprised when we found out that the key was missing. Otherwise, why would someone who didn't know take away an insignificant key... "

Gu Xueming was silent for a while, then hesitated and said, "Second brother didn't come today."

Bai Shu raised his eyebrows slightly: "You mean...?"

Gu Xueming simply expressed his concerns: "It has been 20 years, and he has never seen us again. Besides, he took away the child from Qinglan Villa..."

"Nonsense!" Mo Xingfeng raised his brows coldly, and retorted loudly, "What's wrong with 20 years, even if you are really worried about that child's resentment, if you don't believe that child, how can you not trust second brother!"

"Second brother has been missing for 20 years. The eldest brother has an accident, and he doesn't come. People's hearts are changeable, so I can't tell..." Gu Xueming also knew that his suspicion was unfounded, and his voice gradually became quieter, but he somehow , just wanted to knock Mo Xingfeng on the lips.

Mo Xingfeng slammed his fist on the wall, and the whole room seemed to shake. He was extremely angry, and roared through gritted teeth: "If this is the case, I will definitely solve him myself, but before the truth comes to light, how can you doubt it? he?!"

Gu Xueming was at a loss for words: "I have no doubts, I just expressed the confusion in my heart!"

"Enough!" Bai Shu was about to refute something, but suddenly coughed violently due to excitement, like the wind blowing through the old door, it would be scrapped at any moment.Bai Zhi hurriedly patted his back to help him calm down. After a while, he said hoarsely: "It can't be Luo's second child. Even if we haven't seen each other for 20 years, a brother is still a brother. He can't possibly harm the eldest brother..."

"Perhaps the murderer doesn't know the secret of this key. He just thinks it looks good, and it may not be possible to sell it for money. There must be something strange about this matter. Let's investigate slowly, and the truth will definitely come to light. Seniors, don't get angry." Liu Yunsheng Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he quickly tried to persuade him.

Bai Shu looked tired, and said: "I'm a little tired, let's talk about this first today, you go back to rest first, and wait for me to go back to find out the origin of this poison. Nephew, you should also take a good rest, don't wear yourself out."

After Gu Xueming and Mo Xingfeng left, Bai Shu picked up the box, stood up with Bai Zhi's support, and prepared to go back.

Wei Shu stepped forward to help Fu Baishu, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Uncle Bai, there are some things I have been wondering about, and I want to ask you..."

"What's the matter?" Bai Shu's eyebrows were gentle.

Wei Shu said: "I know my father went to help Wufangtang because of my mother, because Wufangtang said they could cure my mother's illness, but why did you help Wufangtang? Also, Why did Second Uncle Luo save the youngest son of Qinglan Villa?"

Bai Shu was silent for a while, reached out and patted Wei Shuxing's shoulder, and said with a wry smile, "I will talk to you about this matter next time I have a chance."

Wei Shuxing watched Bai Shu's back leave, Liu Yunsheng squeezed beside him and poked his head, then turned his head to look at him, and asked tentatively: "Senior Wei helped Wufangtang back then because of your mother?"

Wei Shuxing didn't look at him, but nodded his head: "I was only five years old at that time, and my mother was already terminally ill. Even Third Uncle Bai couldn't help it, but Wufangtang said they could save my mother, so my father..."

"Then your mother..."

"After holding on for two years, I still went. After that, my father changed." Wei Shuxing closed his eyes and clenched his fists.

The wind blows the trees and shakes, and there is a mottled tree shadow on the wall. The sun sets, and the sky and the earth are red, as if painted with rouge.The setting sun shot into the courtyard, stretching the shadows of the two of them.

Liu Yunsheng was silent for a long time, only heard the returning bird under the tree cry a few times, and said: "Life and death are fate. I have been with Master since I was a child, and I have never seen my parents. You and I, reluctantly, can be regarded as sympathetic."

Wei Shuxing turned around and gave him a sideways glance, and said angrily, "You've heard a lot with a straight face today."

Liu Yunsheng spread his hands innocently, and said aggrievedly: "Didn't you say that, Shaoxia Wei? Brother Liu is a friend, not an outsider."

Wei Shuxing snorted coldly, Ruyu's handsome face showed a bit of disgust: "That's your wishful thinking."

"That's right, it's my wishful thinking. Wei Shaoxia is kind and willing to take you in." Liu Yunsheng rubbed his hands, his eyes filled with a smile, and there was a poetic feeling of affection for no reason, "Then since I You have heard so much, if you let me alone, it will be too worrying, and if you want to follow the young man in the future, will you bother me?"

Liu Yunsheng thought to himself: I heard such an exciting secret following you today, and it will definitely be even more exciting in the future.

Wei Shuxing avoided his gaze, seeing Liu Yunsheng pestering him so much, it must be fake if he wasn't confused, but he couldn't find the reason after much deliberation, so he glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked hesitantly He came out: "Liu Yunsheng, do you... have, what, a habit."

"Ah? What?" Liu Yunsheng was at a loss this time.

"There's nothing, I'm going to eat." Wei Shuxing turned his cold eyes back, and walked out the door.

"Okay, okay, wait for me." Liu Yunsheng cheekily chased after him.

Wei Shuxing stopped and looked back at him.

Everything behind Liu Yunsheng was dyed red by the setting sun, the sea of ​​clouds rolled, and the mountains burned, forming a vast and boundless universe.In the vast world, Liu Yunsheng ran towards him, his crimson color reflected in his white clothes, as if he was coming under the clouds.

The author has something to say:

Wei Shuxing: Although he didn't say it, I know he is a broken sleeve

Liu Yunsheng: I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense
