Chapter 25 Black shadow on the beam

*
[Jianghu secret: Jin Jiuling, who faked his death and escaped, found that all his stolen money disappeared, and he shouted angrily and decided to go to the Valley of Evil. (From the pine tree troubled by insects.)]
After many days, Bu Zao went to pay attention to the still alive Jin Jiuling. Bu Zao sold half of the other party's stolen money to Yao Yue and pocketed the other half. There are
thousands of players, but only a few abide by the rules and laws, otherwise they can't be called players.
Jin Jiuling had nothing in his hands, and finally had to choose the clear path pointed out by Wu Du.
Bu Zao was happy to see this happen. Not only Gong Jiu was investigating Jin Jiuling, but Bat Prince was also tracking Jin Jiuling. One wanted to know the relationship between Jin Jiuling and Bat Prince, and the other wanted to find him alive or dead. They chased after Jin Jiuling.
But in everyone's perception, Jin Jiuling had died from the torture of Yihua Palace. Gong Jiu was just investigating the past, and Bat Prince had gained nothing.
Gaining nothing was the biggest gain. Bat Island believed that Jin Jiuling was still alive, and Jin Jiuling had many years of experience as a head of the police, and he knew Bat Prince's style of doing things. He disguised himself as a beggar and rushed to the Valley of Evil day and night.
The Valley of Evil is a very famous place in the martial arts world. It is like a stone jar for raising pigs. Evil people kill each other, and only those who are cruel enough can survive in it.
It is unknown whether Jin Jiuling can enter the Valley of Evil safely, but his vest has already entered.
Bu Zao pointed out this road for Jin Jiuling just to see what choice Jin Jiuling would make. After all, Jin Jiuling has not betrayed the Bat Master yet - mainly because there is no chance. If he asks Yuan Suiyun for help, he may be able to continue to survive in the dark as the Bat Master's assistant.
But Jin Jiuling obviously understands the Bat Master's cruelty and would rather go to the Valley of Evil than work for the Bat Master again.
[It's a pity that the choice he made was not correct. ]
The system commented.
Bu Zao found that the system had become a little more talkative since he came down the mountain.
Obviously, when he was leveling up in the mountains, this system was a complete idiot, never speaking unless necessary.
[Why do you say it is an incorrect option?] Bu Zao asked deliberately.
The system said: [Dear player, asking questions knowing the answer is a very bad habit. I am your companion, not the object of your jokes. As for why, isn’t the No. 3 disciple in the Evil Valley?]
Bu Zao sighed: [I am just in the Evil Valley, don’t make me sound like a scourge.]
[The system expressed its confusion at the player’s sigh.]
[The system believes that “scourge” is not enough to describe the player’s ferocity.]

Wu Du stopped for a short while on the way to the Western Regions.
Even if his physical strength can be restored, rushing to the Stone Forest Cave Mansion day and night can greatly shorten the mission time and improve work efficiency, but Bu Zao is not really going to get the antidote after all, not to mention that the employer did not pay for expedited work, so it is enough for him to arrange the work progress at a normal speed.
Before going to see the Stone Guanyin, Wu Du is going to kill someone.
This person is Jin Jiuling's former partner. He squandered his wealth back then, and secretly cheated for money and sex, offending many enemies. Wu Du's client is one of his enemies.
Leng Xue took the case in Bianjing and is now on the way. He will arrive here tomorrow. Wu Du has to find a way to chat with him again to deepen his impression of himself.
Come to think of it, Bu Zao didn't know whether Leng Xue still remembered the alias Wu Du. Logically, Leng Xue was still a child at that time, and he should not have had any deep impression of Wu Du.
The cunning player wanted to wait and see, and did not complete the employer's commission immediately. While waiting, Bu Zao found that another group of people were also squatting.
Wu Du was not wearing a mask. He moved a small stool and sat under the poplar tree, with nowhere to put his long legs.
A young man walked out of the target mission house in the distance, followed by two servants.
He was a young master with an arrogant posture, and his clothes were soft and gorgeous. At first glance, he was a pampered young master. But his complexion was not good, he had a sullen face, and his steps were fast.
When Wu Du stood up from the stool, the young master cast his eyes over. Wu Du and him looked at each other for a moment without any prompt sound. This was not because the other party was not an important person, but because Bu Zao's vest had also been seen by him seven years ago.
Very good, another old friend he had offended.
Bu Zao was somewhat happy in his heart. Seven years ago, he was afraid of being cheated because his level was not high enough, so he did not dare to do too much. Now he finally has the opportunity to sell swords repeatedly.
This young boy has three big characters [Wang Linhua] on his head. He looks thirteen years old, but he is actually seventeen years old.
Wudu has a young face, but Wang Linhua is pretending to be young. Pretending to be young is fine, he also ran over and asked Wudu arrogantly: "Do you have something to do with the people in this room?"
The vest who met Wang Linhua at the beginning was the eldest disciple Chongming. Wang Linhua came to ask Wudu just because he thought he was very suspicious.
What kind of vest does what kind of thing? Wudu said very politely: "No."
Wang Linhua tilted his head and looked up at him. Wudu looked down at him with sincerity in his eyes.
The feeling of being looked down upon is not good. Wang Linhua asked: "Then what are you doing here?"
"Rest." Wudu said.
Wang Linhua frowned with a strange expression: "If I ask you about your identity, how will you answer me?"
"I'm just an ordinary person passing by."
Every word was answered, and every word was true. Wang Linhua waved his hand: "Okay, you can go."
Wu Du nodded at him and said: "It's getting dark, you should go home early, don't let your parents worry."
Wang Linhua paused, said nothing, and glanced at Wu Du.
Bu Zao slipped away.
Wang Linhua stared at his back.
Chongming's skills collected the reason why Wang Linhua appeared here. Bu Zao rummaged through the mailbox and found relevant information about Wang Linhua.
There are clues about Wang Linhua's father, Chai Yuguan.
Bu Zao was very surprised. The story of Wang Lianhua's scumbag father should be in the second half, how come it is in the early part?
The system still explained with a mechanical voice: [Players can equate themselves with butterflies.]
This is the so-called butterfly effect.
[I am a butterfly...] Bu Zao said, [Then what are you?]
[I am the wings of a butterfly.] The system gave a serious answer.
So what kind of obscure metaphor is this? Bu Zao thought, the system always says something specious about the progress of the game, and also notes that it is for the purpose of improving the player's gaming experience.
That's right, the system is not a human being and does not speak human language.
Bu Zao expressed his understanding of the system's answer.
...
[The system found that the player is a considerate person.]
[The system found that the player's considerateness seems to be full of deep meaning.]
[The system has doubts about the definition of considerate.]

On the first day of meeting Wu Du, Wang Linhua once again sent the servant beside him to knock on the door in front of him.
The man who opened the door had a thin face and a sallow complexion, and looked like he had indulged himself in excessive sexual activities. When he saw Wang Linhua, he showed a sly smile as if he had succeeded: "Young Master, how much do you plan to pay for that painting?"
Wang Linhua did not speak, but waved his hand, and his followers twisted the man into the house.
"What! What's going on! Are you here to make trouble?" The
man's mouth was blocked, and his voice turned into a muffled sound.
Wang Linhua walked into the dilapidated little house with his hands behind his back.
This man had a friendship with Chai Yuguan. He had a painting that Chai Yuguan gave him fifteen years ago. Recently, he began to publicize the secret of Loulan's treasure hidden in the painting and wanted to sell it at a high price.
Chai Yuguan betrayed Fairy Yunmeng seventeen years ago. In name, he is Wang Linhua's parent, but they are enemies to the death.
Wang Lianhua has never seen her father. For seventeen years, all she has heard is the curse and hatred that Fairy Yunmeng has for Chai Yuguan.
Seventeen years ago, Chai Yuguan was known as a righteous hero in the martial arts world, with the reputation of "Buddha of Ten Thousand Families", while Fairy Yunmeng was known as a demon.
The combination of the two is naturally unknown to the public, but it would be a good story if the two were in love.
However, the hero is not a hero, but a hypocritical gentleman. He uses the demon to collect secrets from various sects. After the task is completed, he sneaks into the pregnant Fairy Yunmeng, takes away the secrets and disappears, hoping to become a master in the future and dominate the martial arts world.
During the seventeen years, Fairy Yunmeng developed her power while recuperating from her injuries. She searched the entire martial arts world for Chai Yuguan's whereabouts, but found nothing. She only knew that he had been missing since he came out of retreat.
Wang Linhua's hatred was no less than Fairy Yunmeng's, so he came as soon as he heard any news about Chai Yuguan.
Closing the door, Wang Linhua didn't even look at the man, and walked straight to the table where the scroll of painting was placed.
Yesterday, he came to this man and said he wanted to buy the painting, but the man raised the price, saying that there was a clue to the treasure in the painting, and refused to sell it, offering a high price. Wang Linhua didn't want to be a sucker, so he went back and pretended to think about it for a night, and decided to rob it.
As for this man, he has done many evil things, and he is the same as Chai Yuguan, so it doesn't matter if he is killed.
Wang Linhua carefully examined the scroll in his hand. It was a landscape painting, but when viewed from the opposite side, it turned out to be a map. Whether it was a real treasure map remains to be determined.
He stuffed the painting into the painting tube and turned to look at the man.
The man was lying on the ground in a restrained position, with a rag stuffed in his mouth, staring and howling.
Wang Linhua walked over, looked down at him, and slowly asked, "What else did Chai Yuguan say to you back then?"
The man howled, his eyes widened. Wang Linhua reached out to pull out the rag, but his hand paused, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.
The man was not staring at Wang Linhua, but at the roof.
Wang Linhua slowly raised his head.
On the beam above his head, a dark shadow was staring at Wang Linhua. The shadow covered the lower half of his face, and there was a pair of bright eyes, looming behind his bangs.
How long had he been here? Was he in the house from the beginning?
No one present knew when he appeared here.
But what Wang Linhua knew was that he had seen this man before.
"Come down." Wang Linhua looked up at the shadow with eyes exposed, his tone cold, "Don't think I can't recognize you, what is your purpose?"
The followers who entered the house with Wang Linhua all looked up, staring at the silent man on the beam with doubt.
