Chapter 94 Supernatural powers!
The next morning, the morning mist had not yet cleared.
West of Nanyang City, eight men and eight horses were riding lightly across the countryside. As it was still early, they kept their reins in and walked slowly.
Looking ahead at the hills, they are winding and looming like a hidden dragon, with trees and mist covering both the head and tail.
Lou Ruodan's mood was a little complicated.
"I often hear of great men from the Jianghu who live in seclusion in the mountains, but that's mostly hearsay. I really want to see it."
She shook her head slightly and said nothing more.
After hearing what Chen Ruiyang said yesterday, she immediately went out to investigate and found that it was true.
Even Chen Ruiyang's words are more simple. The absurd sayings in the market often involve yin and yang and the underworld, and are described vividly by many people.
Even though she was a heroine, she felt strange when she saw the smoke-shrouded Wolong Mountain near her.
Chen Ruiyang looked at the hills:
"In the past, the Marquis of Wu tilled the land and listened to the rain under his thatched eaves. Although moss has encroached on the steps today, the years have passed, but the charm remains."
"perhaps."
"This land and water have an inexplicable attraction for talented people."
Lou Ruodan nodded in agreement:
"Su Yun is a veteran of the Nanyang Gang, one of the first few to follow Yang Zhen. The Nanyang Gang owes this Master Yi a huge favor. If he asks, part of this favor will be transferred to our ranch."
"What are your concerns, gang leader?" Chen Ruiyang didn't understand what he meant.
Lou Ruodan raised her sleeve to wipe the moisture off her face: "Actually, I'm quite willing to accept it."
"oh?"
"The owner of the field abides by the teachings of his ancestors and never participates in the struggles of the underworld or the imperial court. He always keeps business as business. Master Yi Guan is an outsider in the underworld, unlike the big families, so he does not have such concerns."
After hearing what she said, Chen Ruiyang felt that it made sense.
"If you really want to get this favor, how do you plan to repay it?"
"I still hold the same opinion as yesterday: debt is not an option."
Lou Ruodan lifted the reins and said, "Let's talk about it after I meet this Master Yi."
"Besides, the Jingshan Sect issue isn't that easy to resolve. I need to weigh the pros and cons. I can't afford to do a favor and still not get anything done."
"Don't worry, Brother Chen. I know my limits. I won't offend him, even without mentioning that he's a strange person. Just based on the Nanyang Gang's kindness, I won't offend him."
Chen Ruiyang was about to say a few more words, but he held back his words.
Wolonggang was not far away, and they arrived in a short time by riding horses.
It was still early, so we didn't rush to climb the mountain.
Lou Ruodan led his men for a stroll down the mountain and saw a row of thatched huts with bamboo fences, with peach charms from last year still hanging on them. The houses were connected to each other, and there were many villages.
Nanyang has a prosperous business and a large population, so this scene is not surprising.
only
There was an early market in Baihe Village at the foot of the hill, and the air was thick with the smell of smoke and fire. Lou Ruodan stopped his horse and went down to inquire about the scene himself.
After a walk around, my fear of the strange things about yin and yang was mostly eliminated.
Even Chen Ruiyang is like this.
The villagers were simple and honest, and they spoke whatever they wanted. The people from the Dangyang caravan only heard them say good things about Wuzhuangguan.
We have been in the world for many years and can distinguish the truth from falsehood.
It's not easy to disguise yourself under their noses.
Therefore, everyone accepted the fact that Master Yi Guan had a very good reputation.
Lou Ruodan gradually revealed a smile: "I am even more looking forward to this trip."
"Wuzhuang Monastery protects the region and provides great assistance to these villagers. It seems that Master Yi, this extraordinary person, should be described as kind-hearted, compassionate, and benevolent."
"The owner of the field would also approve if he knew we were associating with such people."
Chen Ruiyang smiled and said, "If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have expected this."
"This is a wrong move."
"Boss, are we going to climb the mountain now?"
Lou Ruodan looked at the sky and his expression became more serious.
Her thoughts have changed. Pegasus Ranch has never been averse to making friends with major forces.
Since there is such a noble and noble guest from outside the world, how can we miss him?
Even if the troubles in Nanyang cannot be resolved, it can still help the owner to establish a good relationship.
"Walk!"
Lou Ruodan did not go up the mountain, but rode his horse back to Nanyang City.
When they left the city again, the number of people had increased from eight to twelve.
Many of them were carrying gifts.
The standards of grave worship have become higher.
When Chen Ruiyang saw what Boss Lou did, he felt a strong sense of agreement.
If Boss Lou didn't have this vision and judgment, he wouldn't be able to do business in the northern frontier. Dealing with the grassland tribes and the major sects in the northern frontier is not easy.
The early sun breaks through the clouds, and the golden rays shine obliquely.
The chill of spring has subsided a bit, and now is the perfect time to go hiking.
Along the road lined with ancient cypresses, the Dangyang caravan led their horses up the mountain. This place is far less majestic and rich than Feima Mountain City, but it has beautiful hills and unique tranquility.
The brook begins to roar, and the gentle sound of the stone stream thaws the spring water.
When everyone heard the sound of the stream getting louder, they turned around a corner.
What comes into view is an ancient temple, lying quietly on a high hill. In front of the gate are two cranes about to fly, and on the wooden pillars and walls, the Daluo Fairy is gazing at the cranes.
Just as Chen Ruiyang was about to go forward to pay his respects to the mountain, there was a creaking sound.
The other half of the gate was opened from the inside, and four big men walked out.
Each of these four men was as muscular as a dragon, tall and mighty, with a domineering look in their eyes.
These are all the aftereffects of practicing Overlord Fire Power.
Among the twelve people in the Dangyang Horse Caravan, there is no one bigger than these four.
What they didn't expect was that after these four people, four more big men appeared.
Equally mighty and tall.
For a moment, it was like seeing a jungle of muscles.
Even though they have kind faces and gentle features, people dare not underestimate them.
Lou Ruodan took a step forward and saw two little Taoist boys walking out of the temple, each with their own intelligence and talent.
"Lou Ruodan and the Dangyang horse caravan have come to pay respects to the mountain. I wonder if the abbot is available."
"exist."
"Boss Lou, friends, please come in."
Yan Qiu and Xia Shu smiled and invited them in. Xia Shu then said:
"It's still early here. My master has to attend morning classes every day. Please move to the hall."
Chen Ruiyang was a little curious:
"Why aren't you two, Brother Shan and Brother Zhang?"
Yan Qiu said, "The two elder brothers went down the mountain to do some work yesterday evening and haven't returned yet."
Chen Ruiyang nodded.
Lou Ruodan gave some instructions to several gang members, asking them to put the gifts away, and only he and Chen Ruiyang went forward.
You don't need so many ears to talk about things.
After burning incense at the tripod altar, he was led into the main hall by two little Taoist boys.
There was a person in the hall, facing the statue of Huang Laoer.
He looked like he had just stood up, holding a scroll of scriptures in his right hand.
As soon as they entered the temple, the man turned around.
Chen Ruiyang and Lou Ruodan were already familiar with the three words "Master Yi". They heard that the master was young, but they didn't know what he looked like.
When they saw each other at this moment, they couldn't help but look at each other.
The temple master is indeed young, but there is not a trace of frivolity in him. He is similar to the venue owner, but he seems to have a handsome and extraordinary aura that is completely different from the venue owner.
Just think of him as a secluded person in the mountains and don't think it's strange.
"Master Yiguan!"
The two men came up with fists clasped.
"Both gang leaders, please take a seat."
Zhou Yi smiled slightly. At this time, the disciples in the temple had brought tea. The two little Taoist boys each took a cup and served it to them.
"Thank you very much."
Yan Qiuxia Shu came behind Zhou Yi, and Lou Ruodan couldn't help but glance at the painting "Taiping Divine Sword" on the high pavilion in the hall.
Corresponding to three people.
The only difference is that this time the master of the temple does not have the majesty in the painting, and the Fuchen Divine Sword is not seen.
Lou Ruodan had seen many masters, but he had no idea of the martial arts skills of the man in front of him.
The more this happens, the more importance I attach to it.
Chen Ruiyang felt more at ease after seeing the real person:
"I'm visiting you in a hurry today, which is rather abrupt. It's because the Jingshan Sect disrupted the affairs of the gang, and I'm upset and distracted. I have a hard time being calm. I hope Master will not be offended."
As a subordinate force of Pegasus Ranch, saying this is already a great honor.
Zhou Yi naturally wouldn't put on airs, "I've heard about this a long time ago, and I know your background."
Seeing his expression, Lou Ruodan couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the abbot knows the owner of my farm?"
Zhou Yi shook his head: "I only met your owner once."
Lou Ruodan felt slightly puzzled and said, "Please forgive my bluntness. I don't know why the abbot would interfere in this matter."
"This isn't a big deal for me. Plus, I've heard that Pegasus Ranch has divine horses, but they're extremely hard to buy. If it's in the hands of the two gang leaders, I'm afraid it won't be a big deal."
Chen Ruiyang and Lou Ruodan seemed to be hallucinating.
Is it really as simple as he said?
The good horses on the ranch are indeed in short supply, but the difficulty of buying horses is not at the same level as dealing with the troubles of the Jingshan Sect.
Lou Ruodan said, "If the master of the temple can help us get out of trouble, my master will give you a divine horse as a gift."
"Okay," Zhou Yi said without any bargaining, "You will definitely receive news within seven days."
What does it mean to come and go in a hurry?
Several people from the Dangyang Horse Caravan felt something.
It wasn't long before they came down from Wollongong.
The morning market near Baihe Village hasn't finished yet, it's already gone so fast.
All the exchanges I had imagined before the mountain visit, or being kept in the temple for meals and drinks, etc., did not happen.
Lou Ruodan is a person who is straightforward and decisive in doing things, but the person she met today is even more efficient than her.
He is really frugal with words and didn't say a single unnecessary word.
She even had some doubts.
"Brother Chen, does he really just want a few horses?"
"Furthermore, the Jingshan Sect isn't the only one in the city. The Zhenyang Gang and the Yangxing Society are closely aligned with the Jingshan Sect and are also standing behind it. Is it really as easy as he said?"
Chen Ruiyang said, "I was already dizzy, and after seeing what happened today, I feel even more dizzy."
"However, he probably has no ill will towards our gang."
After saying that, he shook his head repeatedly: "Seven days is still enough to wait, let's wait and see."
Lou Ruodan felt that this was the only way.
The group returned to the Dangyang Caravan and were still discussing the matter during lunch.
"Just waiting is too passive. I haven't been to Yang Zhen yet. I'll go ask him this time."
After eating a meal, Lou Ruodan still couldn't sit still.
Chen Ruiyang did not object.
But before Boss Lou could set off, there was a commotion at the entrance of the caravan.
The people who came were actually government servants. Although they were from the government, they were all followers of powerful forces in the city.
"Boss Lou, Boss Chen, there's something wrong with your horse. Please come with us."
"What's the problem?" Lou Ruodan frowned.
"I misspoke," the officer said with a smile. "Actually, there's something wrong with the goods being detained. Hall Master Fan has come to the office personally, and Sect Leader Ren has relented. You can now take the goods."
The two of them changed color when they heard this.
Chen Ruiyang confirmed it again, and the officer still gave the same answer.
Without further investigation, Boss Lou gathered his men and sent out more than fifty people to haul the goods.
The government office is located in the north of the city. Recently, the water level of the Tuan River has risen and the sound of water can be heard outside the city. The government office's warehouse is located close to the river.
Near the government warehouse, Boss Lou met the Nanyang Gang's cold-faced clerk, Fan Naitang, the Eight-Armed Hawkeye.
It was rare that Master Fan smiled at them.
At the same time, he handed them an official document.
"Trouble you, Master Fan."
"No need," Fan Naitang said, "There were many misunderstandings before. The batch of goods that Sect Leader Ren lost has been found. It has nothing to do with your gang."
Chen Ruiyang was angry, but this matter had little to do with the Nanyang Gang.
He is the leader of Nanyang, and he cannot always turn his elbow outward.
"Thank you very much."
Chen Ruiyang bowed and said, "Our gang has been traveling north and south to earn some hard-earned money. We have always been doing business for merchants and have never participated in disputes between major forces. We will never collude with Zhu Can."
"Please convey my apologies for causing trouble to the leader this time."
Fan Naitang said, "You should thank Master Yi Guan. He has made great efforts for this."
After that, he didn't want to talk about it anymore.
The two looked at each other and thought to themselves that it was indeed so.
Fan Naitang took them to the government warehouse, and the people from the Dangyang Caravan counted the goods in person, and not a single cart was missing.
Then he said goodbye.
Passing by the gate of the government office, Lou Ruodan and Chen Ruiyang also met Ren Zhi.
The leader of the Jingshan Sect walked up with a gloomy face, stroking his sparse beard.
"Pegasus Ranch is indeed impressive, but the largest fur business around Nanyang is still run by a certain Ren. Are you two really not considering collaborating with me?"
"The ranch has never rejected cooperation, but if the headmaster asks for too much, how can we make money?"
Lou Ruodan snorted softly: "We can't ask the owner to subsidize us."
"That's an exaggeration." Ren Zhi shook his head.
Gang Leader Lou sneered, "If Sect Leader Ren really wants to cooperate, why not go to Ranch Mountain City and look for our ranch owner?"
"If you go to the mountain city now, the ranch will definitely welcome you very much."
Ren Zhi smiled coldly: "Boss Lou is courageous, and Pegasus Ranch is powerful, but don't forget that this is Nanyang."
"Yes, this is Nanyang," Lou Ruodan raised her head and looked him in the eye. "Our gang conducts business according to Nanyang's rules. Doesn't Sect Leader Ren allow it? Is the county town Sect Leader Ren's backyard?"
Ren Zhijiang's sneer subsided and turned into a sunny smile:
"Ren has been doing business in Nanyang for over 20 years, and no one has ever spoken to me like this. Good, very good."
He walked slowly into the office again.
"Boss, you have offended him to death."
"He's a greedy villain. Our business overlaps, but he doesn't have the guts to compete. As long as we don't intend to cooperate with him, he will make things difficult for us."
Boss Lou saw through it all: "It's already like this, can't I just take advantage of him and make him feel uncomfortable?"
"Besides, am I really afraid of him?"
"If I run into his men in the northern frontier, humph, you wonder if I can even get his sheepskins back."
Chen Ruiyang shook his head helplessly.
There are many tough guys like her on the ranch.
"As you can imagine, our troubles are yet to come."
"Brother Chen, don't worry. After we finish processing this batch of goods, we will go to Wuzhuang Temple again."
Lou Ruodan's eyes flashed with a strange color, "Master Yi Guan is even more powerful than we imagined. You have also discovered it."
"That's natural."
Chen Ruiyang regained his serious expression: "Seven days? It's less than half a day, and I haven't seen the Yangxing Society and the Zhenyang Gang today."
"What's even more outrageous is"
"Then Hall Master Fan said that the lost goods of the Jingshan Sect have been found again."
"Even Yang Dalong might not be as efficient as this guy."
"Boss, you're not really only sending a few horses, are you?"
Lou Ruodan said, "I'm not that stupid. How much are a few horses worth? Besides, I admire people who get things done quickly."
"This guy is faster than Yang Zhen and seems to be more reliable."
"However, we must first write a letter and send it to the mountain city to inform the owner of the gang's situation and the matter of Wuzhuang Temple."
Chen Ruiyang took a breath and said, "Master Yi Guan said that he had met the owner of the field once."
He added for no reason, "Is it possible? They actually know each other, but they just don't want to tell us. After all, this guy is quite good-looking, and the owner is even more beautiful."
"That's why you care so much about our gang's affairs."
Lou Ruodan looked at him in horror: "Amazing, Brother Chen still wants to be the matchmaker, right?"
"Do you want me to write down your nonsense in a letter?"
"No, no, no," Chen Ruiyang's beard twitched, and he waved his hands hastily. "How could I have the courage to go back to the ranch after that? Just treat it as a fart."
…
"Boss Hou, what exactly do you mean?"
In the inner hall of the Zhenyang Gang, Ren Zhi looked at the horse-faced man in front of him with anger.
I didn't feel like tasting the good Jiangnan tea on the table.
"We agreed to divide up the Dangyang Caravan together, why are you backing out at the last minute? Also, did you reveal the location of my shipment?"
Hou Yan of the Zhenyang Gang frowned:
"You should be wondering if there's a traitor within the sect. Pegasus Ranch has plenty of gold and silver, so it wouldn't be a big deal if they bribed a few of your followers. What good would it do me to betray you?"
Ren Zhi tapped the table with his fingertips:
"Fan Naitang is here today, so it's understandable that Ji Huizhu isn't here because he's dealing with the Haisha Gang. But since you don't have any urgent matters, why don't you agree with me?"
Hou Yan sighed: "Brother Ren, it's not that I'm not loyal enough, but I can no longer take care of the affairs of the Dangyang Caravan."
"oh?"
Ren Zhi's face was gloomy: "Brother Hou, what is your reason?"
"Pegasus Ranch is highly valued by various factions and has a tremendous influence."
Hou Yan shrugged and said, "Do you know that because of your sheepskin, I have been singled out by the Guanzhong forces."
"What?"
"My weapons business originates from the Guanzhong Mine. You are not unaware of this. I have connections with the Sha Family, the Dugu Clan, and the Guanzhong Sword Sect. These three families are allies in the Guanzhong Mine."
"This time, I received a token from the Dugu clan, telling me not to interfere in the affairs of Pegasus Ranch."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Although I'm not afraid of these people in Nanyang, if I go against their wishes, at least half of my mining business will be ruined."
"Then these thousands of people will have no choice but to follow you, Brother Ren, and make quivers, saddles, and other fur tools."
Ren Zhicai realized what had happened, and a serious look flashed in his eyes.
I didn't expect the Dugu clan to interfere in Nanyang affairs.
"Could it be that Pegasus Ranch has reached a deal with the Dugu clan?"
Hou Yan's horse face stretched even longer: "I have lived in the county town for a long time, how could I know such a secret?"
Hou Yan lowered his head, a shrewd look in his eyes.
He added:
"Whatever deal they have has nothing to do with Nanyang City. If it weren't for the Guanzhong Mine, I would have fought to the end."
"Brother Hou can ask Brother Ji from the Yangxing Society about this matter."
"Last time, the Lion King of the Haisha Gang and the young master of the Yuwen family died in Nanyang. Now, masters of the Yuwen clan have come here. Brother Ji has contacted them and is much more confident than me."
“…”
After chatting for a while, Gang Leader Hou sent Sect Leader Ren away.
"Boss, are we really going to let go of the horse gang?"
The old man who had been holding the tea tray and pouring water asked.
"Of course not."
Hou Yan sneered, "Our business here is far less than Ren Zhi's. How can we possibly do this if we only gain a small profit but suffer a great loss?"
"and"
His expression changed. "That's the token of the Dugu family's old master. What does this mean? If we offend Pegasus Ranch, wouldn't that be equivalent to fighting to the death with the Dugu clan?"
"If I interfere again, I'm afraid our people in Guanzhong will be killed by the Guanzhong Sword Sect."
The old man hesitated to speak
Hou Yan said, "But you wonder why I didn't tell Ren Zhi?"
"Think about it, how much business do we have together? If he died like Luo Changshou, wouldn't we be rich?"
"The Tuanjiang faction fell, and its subordinates were taken over by various families. The county city suffered no overall losses."
"It's just right that there's one less person to talk to."
"If Ren Zhi is also destroyed, the city gate defense rotation will become six families. Our Zhenyang Gang can only take turns twice a year. This alone will provide us with great convenience."
"If Ren Zhi isn't stupid, he should go and reconcile with the Dangyang Caravan now, offer concessions and cooperate, and this matter will be settled."
"You're always thinking about eating someone up in one bite. How can you do business like that?"
Hou Yan sneered, and the old man beside him also laughed.
After Sect Leader Ren left, he did not go looking for the Dangyang Horse Caravan as Hou Yan had expected.
We had a cold confrontation in front of the government office today. If we compromise now, wouldn't that be just letting others step on our faces?
Master Ren walked all the way to a prosperous shop in the city. There was a plaque with the words "Huo Ji" written on it.
The owner of this shop is called Huo Qiu, who is a martial arts master and is extremely generous. He is close to many major forces in the city, so his business is booming.
This person has connections and can get all kinds of rare goods from Mobei.
Among the many leaders in Nanyang, only Sect Leader Ren often deals with the Mobei forces, so he has some understanding of Huo Qiu's background.
Huo Qiu is just his Chinese name. He also has a Turkic name called.
"Korpo," Ren Zhi called out the name of a hook-nosed man when he saw him in the shop.
Huo Qiu immediately understood and grinned, showing his large front teeth. "Master Ren, you have finally embraced the grassland. Tuli Khan will surely be pleased to know this."
“We can have more cooperation.”
While speaking, Ren Zhi hugged him, and Huo Qiu pulled him to the secret room on the top floor.
The grassland forces have infiltrated the Central Plains.
This Korpo was the spy planted by the young Khan Tuli in Nanyang.
Half an hour later, Ren Zhi got on the carriage provided by Kolpo and headed towards the south of the city.
Near the outskirts of the city, the carriage stopped next to two huge willow trees.
There is a small river beside the trees, which is not very clean. On the other side of the river there is a row of wooden houses, where many horses are parked.
There was a large group of men drinking and gambling around a square table, making a lot of noise and cursing.
There is a wooden sign hanging at the door with the words "猿托" written on it.
This is a horse caravan with a bad reputation, and it has had conflicts with the Dangyang horse caravan before.
Ren Zhi had handled their dirty goods privately, so they had close contacts.
Several men who were gambling looked at Ren Zhi. He was wearing a long robe and a hood on his head, so his face could not be seen clearly.
A man with a knife was about to stop him, but he saw Ren Zhi holding a jade pendant that marked his identity.
The fierce face turned into a smile, and he was invited into the most elegant courtyard here.
There were twenty or thirty people in the compound, discussing something.
Seeing the guests coming, the four leaders made a gesture and the people around them brought a chair, and then everyone dispersed.
The four recognized Ren Zhi at a glance.
Even though the person on the opposite side was the leader of a sect, the four of them were not afraid at all.
If they fight, Master Ren will win if he can get out alive against their combined forces.
“Ding~!”
The first, second and third bosses all flipped the coins over and they landed on their hands.
Repeat this process in a consistent and coordinated manner.
And their eyes were all fixed on Sect Leader Ren.
The fourth master smiled and said, "Master Ren, what a rare visitor! What business can I have for you?"
Ren Zhidao: "Human head trading."
Immediately, the three bosses all held the copper coins.
The fourth leader said cautiously, "Master Ren should know the rules. We will definitely not touch anyone from the major forces in the city because we want to eat in Nanyang."
"If it involves a big sect, we won't touch it, because we still have to make a living in the underworld."
"Don't worry if you laugh at me, but we brothers are notorious for bullying the weak and fearing the strong."
Ren Zhi said, "I want to kill someone who sells favors for no reason."
"The reason is irrelevant, just tell me who it is."
Ren Zhi looked towards the west of the city and said, "There is a young Taoist priest on Wolong Mountain, named Yi Dao Ren. Kill him."
The fourth leader shook his head: "We don't touch people from the Taoist sect."
"It's just a small village, not a Taoist sect. It just has a few idle disciples."
The fourth boss said, "I know this person. I heard he has the ability to communicate with the underworld. He's a strange person. There's a risk, so we won't touch him."
"How credible are rumors?"
Ren Zhi's voice turned cold. "It just so happened that he had the Qi to break the evil spirits, which is why he owed the Nanyang Gang a favor. The rest is nothing special. How dare you be so cowardly as to treat a young Taoist priest who is not even twenty years old?"
"Then there's no need to ask Ren to deal with the dirty goods next time."
He stood up to leave, but the Fourth Master stopped him with a smile:
“Yes, but it will cost extra.”
"How many?"
"One thousand strings of cash, plus two shops in East City."
Ren Zhi's mouth twitched, thinking of the humiliation he had suffered today: "Do it cleanly."
The other three bosses all smiled and began to flip the coins repeatedly with their thumbs.
The fourth in command was extremely professional: "After killing the person, just throw him directly into the Baihe River. He will float downstream and the Nanyang Gang won't be able to find him even if they try."
"I'll write him a sign: I'm traveling and not home, please keep it clean."
Ren Zhi said straightforwardly: "I'll give you the money tomorrow."
The fourth boss was also a straightforward person: "Sharpen your knives and axes the day you see the money, start the work the next day, and send you a message on the third day."
"good."
Ren Zhi left after saying this.
That night, two thin men in black ran out of the west city and into Wuzhuang Temple.
The Kun Gang had been keeping an eye on Ren Zhi since last year, and now they had finally gotten the latest news after just a short while.
After reading the information, Zhou Yi immediately walked from the main hall to the backyard.
Under an oil lamp, a Uighur girl was mixing paints, looking very unfamiliar with the technique.
"Cousin, here comes the serious business."
Aruina put down her paintbrush and looked up at him, feeling slightly dissatisfied at being disturbed.
"What's the matter?"
Zhou Yi looked at the paint and pointed toward the sky: "The clouds are getting lower and lower. It will probably snow tomorrow."
"If you are interested in painting, you must understand that it is difficult to find the true meaning in the room alone."
“To paint, you need to sketch.”
"Sketching?"
"That's right."
Zhou Yi said seriously: "Sketching is the breathing of art. It allows painters to touch the texture of the real world."
"This will also be of great help to your practice of Suprakhan."
The Huihe girl didn't quite understand, but she didn't refuse: "When?"
"Tomorrow night."
Ina looked at him, her dark blue eyes slightly shining, and she said softly, "Okay."
"You continue to match the colors," Zhou Yi smiled with satisfaction and turned to leave.
The Uighur girl sat down and drew an arc on the paper with a pen.
That seems to be the arc of a certain master's smile when he succeeds.
"Brother, why not do it tonight?"
Xia Shu and Yan Qiu surrounded Zhou Yi and watched him write a tip sheet for Chen Laomou.
There is an intelligence chief in the city, which is a huge advantage.
The Baling Gang and the Haisha Gang suffered setbacks one after another, and with Zhou Yi's current connections, the Kun Gang has been able to thrive in Nanyang.
"oh"
While writing the note, Zhou Yi took the time to reply, "Because Sect Leader Ren's money hasn't arrived tonight, tomorrow night is perfect."
"Anyone who leads a major organization must understand financial management, especially when we start from humble beginnings, so we must be diligent and conscientious."
"Brother, you are wise!" The two children lay on each side, smiling and praising.
The next day.
Just as Zhou Yi expected, a spring snow fell in Nanyang.
The clear light of early spring and the color of snow complement each other, and the sky and the earth are bright, just like a world of glass.
It was a calm, peaceful day.
Until night falls.
Two figures walked down Wolonggang with the sound of crunching snow. Zhou Yi did not bring Zhanlu, and Yina did not bring the fire sword.
"Is this what you call sketching? It's clearly a fight and murder."
The Uighur girl had guessed it long ago and just wanted to hear how he would respond.
"If we don't leave the mountain tonight, they will come up tomorrow night and start a war. I am doing my best to maintain peace in the temple."
"If you had stayed in the temple and ignored the Dangyang Caravan, these people wouldn't have come to you."
"Others will come knocking on my door, and I only get temporary peace. I want eternal peace."
The Huihe girl wanted to argue again, but she heard a voice next to her ear:
"It's so peaceful that even if the Great Mother of Mercy comes to visit, my cousin can still paint in peace."
The girl turned her head away, no longer looking at him, and said coldly, "Let's go and kill someone."
"Don't be so straightforward about art. We're here to sketch."
"Well, let's find the Ape-Dol Horse Gang to sketch."
The two walked around the city and headed south.
After climbing over the city wall, we were just on the southern outskirts of the city.
Although Chen Laomou pointed the way in the letter, it still took Zhou Yi a while to find it.
They stayed far away on a big willow tree.
"Do you think it's difficult to kill those four bosses?"
"It's not difficult, as long as they don't run away."
Yina continued, "There are quite a lot of people here. If they scatter, it will be almost impossible to kill them all."
"Will there be trouble if someone escapes?"
"Ren Zhi knows everything about this place. Even if he kills them, it will have the same effect. But we have to get rid of those four ringleaders."
Zhou Yi warned, "Follow me later, and don't speak. Wait for me to make the first move, or wait until you feel confident you can kill the two leaders."
"In this way, none of these four people can escape."
Ina nodded.
After waiting for a while, the people who were scattered outside the Monkey Horse Gang returned to the house in groups of three or four.
There was a group of people gambling at the door, quite concentrated.
Further outside, there are a few people on guard.
Almost there.
The two men jumped down from the tree and landed almost silently.
The Huihe girl instinctively slowed down her pace, but when she saw the Taoist priest walking normally, she followed his example.
The two of them walked towards the caravan's camp openly at night, which naturally aroused suspicion.
“Who is it!?”
The sentry at the farthest point shouted softly and walked over with a knife in hand. The people gambling in front of the wooden house couldn't help but look up.
Zhou Yi lowered his voice and whispered:
"Master Ren has something to say. There are changes to the plan for tomorrow. Of course, we would also like to add more gold and silver."
"Take me to see some of the bosses."
The man on sentry said, "Come on."
He leads the way.
The gamblers didn't hear clearly what they said, but the sentry brought people from a distance, so there was no need to worry.
Those who dare to contact them like this are most likely regular customers.
"Come on, come on, keep going!"
"Beep, beep, beep!"
“…”
The man on guard led them all the way to a large courtyard where the eldest and third in command were drinking.
The second in command had just sharpened his knife and was walking over with the fourth in command.
Both of them frowned.
Normally, people who come at night have already made arrangements in advance.
They are very cautious about strangers.
"Who are you two?"
The sentry took a step forward and was about to speak.
Sudden,
The three people on guard, including the second in command and the fourth in command, heard the sound of a sword piercing into their minds!
At this position, Aruina attacked him.
Under the stimulation of the innate true qi, the three of them almost devoured all of Subrogan's secret essence.
There is only the sword shadow in their eyes.
There is also a dry feeling that makes me want to drink water urgently.
The boundless desert completely buried the three people!
The knife that the second-in-command had just sharpened fell to the ground.
Huo Mei's attack was sudden, but Zhou Yi was the one who reacted the fastest. Before the bloody rain could splash, the first and third bosses were stunned.
Zhou Yi displayed his Qinggong skills and thrust a sword towards the most burly man!
"boom!"
The first and third bosses were at the critical juncture, pressed down on the small wine table at the same time.
The two of them poured their true energy into the table.
Suddenly lifted up!
But this still couldn't stop the long sword from piercing the wine table.
The boss hugged his throat and rolled backwards.
His hands were covered in blood, his throat was cut, and his head was getting dizzy.
"ah!"
The third in command roared and struck with a palm. Zhou Yi gathered his energy, flipped his hand, and struck back with his left palm!
After just one palm strike, the third in command's expression changed drastically.
The intuitive palm power is like a drop in the ocean!
The man in front of him smiled, and his clothes suddenly fluttered wildly.
The force that poured out was actually transformed from his own true energy!
Zhou Yi is no longer the Iron-footed Immortal he used to be.
Now that all the acupoints have been opened as Qi points, the method of Dou Zhuan Xing Yi can be used to transform the opponent's energy into the Qi point, and then release it out of the body through Qi release.
This is his miraculous method of coordinating the circulation of Qi in the meridians and the Qi acupoints!
For a warrior whose internal strength is not that strong, it is simply amazing.
The third in command had an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
Isn't this the equivalent of constantly punching the air with your palm strike?!
"With this little ability, you still want to kill me?"
The third in command's face turned horrible when he heard this!
His mind lost control, his breathing became unstable, and suddenly a surge of mighty true energy rushed into his body!
It’s over!
It was difficult to withdraw his palm at this time, and Zhou Yi used Dayu Mo's method of breaking the罡 and breaking the Qi to hit the meridians.
"boom!"
The third in command had just hit the wall when he was stabbed in the heart by a sword.
"Ren Zhi, I draft my mother, the opponent you choose"
Zhou Yi leaped out of the house. Yina was already killing people, with more than ten corpses lying on the ground.
Except for the four big bosses, the rest of the people's martial arts skills are only mediocre.
When several good fighters rushed in at the first moment, they all suffered defeat.
Zhou Yi felt that the girl was very angry. He didn't know who had provoked her. She had turned into a female devil who killed people without blinking an eye.
The Monkey Horse Gang is really good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
When Zhou Yi, the second devil with killing skills, rushed in and killed six people in an instant, these people were already scared out of their wits.
After a while.
The monkey-carrying horse caravan fell completely silent.
Yina stood on the roof, quietly watching Zhou Yi searching in the yard.
After collecting a bag of gold, silver and copper coins, he did some tricks on the bodies of the four bosses.
After going out, he collected the money on the gambling table outside.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something, turned back to the courtyard, and stuffed something into his arms.
Then he jumped onto the roof.
The Uighur girl was not in a very good mood.
She looked at the vast night, looked at the corpses all over the ground, and smelled the bloody smell in the air.
It seems like we have returned to the days of killing in Mobei.
This is no different from the teachings in the Ming Dynasty.
At this moment, she didn't like this kind of "sketching" at all.
"You seem very unhappy. How did these people offend you?"
The two returned along the same path and climbed up to the city wall.
"I hate people looking at me."
Zhou Yi caught a glimpse of her beautiful figure, and then saw that her eyes were dim and her face seemed to be filled with bad memories.
On the city wall on a snowy night, this exotic beauty was feeling a faint sadness that Zhou Yi could not understand.
So he groped in his arms and took out something from the courtyard.
"Don't be angry, I'll give it to you."
Yina was stunned for a moment, then heard the voice next to her ear say, "This was retrieved from the courtyard where the four great masters lay dead."
"You just turned back for this."
"yes."
Those are a few plum blossoms with beautiful buds and stamens, which love the purity of ice and snow.
The bloody smell is still there, but it cannot suppress the clear, light and lingering fragrance of the plum blossoms.
The girl moved closer and smelled a faint fragrance of blood.
At this moment, there is killing, corpses, and fighting.
The environment is the same as Mobei, but it has completely changed.
The faint sadness in Yina's eyes disappeared, and she glanced at a Taoist priest beside her without leaving a trace.
He made a lot of money and was in a good mood.
The girl is in a good mood now, so everyone is happy.
"Is this considered 'life drawing'?"
"Of course."
"Next, take plum blossoms as your theme. If you can draw a vivid plum blossom, it will be considered a preliminary success."
Yina hummed, and the two of them descended the city wall, gradually disappearing into the snowy night.
…
“Who did it?!”
In the Jingshan Sect, Ren Zhi broke the teacup.
The monkey-carrying horse gang was wiped out overnight, and he felt that he was being targeted.
There were two other people standing beside him, both wearing martial arts uniforms.
One of the men, who was in his forties, asked, "Could it be Wuzhuang Temple?"
Another old man shook his head: "They can't possibly move that fast, let alone have that much strength."
"Either one of the four bosses offended someone and this is all a coincidence, or it was done by someone from Pegasus Ranch."
"I think the latter is very likely!"
The old man's eyes were deep: "All the people in the caravan died at the hands of someone with great swordsmanship, and the Dugu clan happened to have the Blue Sky Red Dust Sword Technique."
"Combined with the information the leader got from the Zhenyang Gang, if it was the Dugu clan that took action, then it is very likely."
Ren Zhi and another elder nodded when they heard this.
"Mr. Hu, what do you think we should do?"
Deputy Sect Leader Hu Xingluo clenched his fingers together and crushed the porcelain cup. "On our territory, we naturally take the initiative to attack."
"Now that we have the support of the Turkic Khan, Korpo will fully assist us. Why should we be afraid of his Pegasus Ranch?"
“Besides, this is a great opportunity.”
"Oh?" Ren Zhi became interested.
Deputy Head Hu Xingluo smiled sinisterly:
"Pegasus Ranch is world-famous, but this time they're about to suffer a major setback at our hands."
