Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Where is the son's house

Ji Zhiping smiled and said: Speaking of which, that Xu Jingzhong's thief was out of luck.It happened like this. After a short pause, he continued in deep thought: At that time, I was passing through the Funiu Mountains on business, and by chance, I heard someone whispering in a dense forest.At that time, I was still young, and I was extremely curious. Naturally, I would not give up the opportunity to eavesdrop on someone whispering in the deep mountains and dense forests. Xu Yuanliang broke into a wry smile and said: Unexpectedly, this eavesdropping will lead to infinite troubles for you and me today.

Ji Zhiping also smiled wryly and nodded: "As a result of eavesdropping, I know that one of them is Xu Jingzhong, who is the slave of the owner of Changchun Valley, and the other is a leader of Feihu Village in Funiu Mountain. Because Xu Jingzhong is unwilling to be a slave forever, He waited for an opportunity to steal the owner's heavy treasure, and contacted the leader outside the valley in advance. Inside the valley, he bought two colleagues who were expected to handle the aftermath for him, and then feigned death to transport the heavy treasure out of the valley. Xu Yuanliang couldn't help but gritted his teeth, and said in a hateful voice: What a dog slave, he really did a perfect job.

Ji Zhiping continued: "Xu Jingzhong's plan was completed very smoothly. The conditions he negotiated with the leader of Feihuzhai in advance were to be paid a thousand taels of gold, but the leader changed his mind temporarily because of lack of greed." He thought that no matter what treasure the other party stole, he didn't want to ask about it, but just by digging the grave and opening the coffin, it was equivalent to saving the other party's life, and it was worth more than a thousand taels of gold, so he insisted on changing the reward to One hundred taels of gold, otherwise, report to the other party's owner.

Speaking of this, Ji Zhiping sighed softly: Those two, bargaining and stalemate, really turned into a battle between a crane and a clam, which made me, a fisherman, cheaper. However, in all fairness, the reason why I forced myself to stand out was more curiosity than greed. At that time, it was dusk, and the dense forest seemed as dark as night. In order to get the first impression, I took out my handkerchief, covered my face, suddenly appeared, hoarse on purpose, and shouted in a deep voice: You two, you did a good job! Ji Zhiping stopped talking, and asked with a smile: Brother Xu, guess, how did the two of them react at that time?

Xu Yuanliang smiled wryly and said: It is impossible to guess about this matter. Ji Zhiping also smiled wryly and said: Until now, I still can't figure it out, and I don't know why Xu Jingzhong actually regards me as his father. : The owner of the valley is merciful, the owner of the valley is merciful! This situation made me feel like Zhang Ba King Kong, confused, and at this moment, the leader of Feihuzhai had already sprinted away.At that time, I didn't know where the inspiration came from, but without thinking about it, I yelled: "The rats stay alive!"At that time, that rat was running faster. On the one hand, I couldn't help laughing secretly, on the other hand, when I was thinking about how to get rid of Xu Jingzhong who was kneeling in front of me, I suddenly heard a pop, but Seeing blood splattered everywhere, Xu Jingzhong actually shattered his spirit and died!

Xu Yuanliang nodded and said: "Since he has regarded you as his late father, he has no other way out but to commit suicide." Ji Zhiping then asked: Why is that? Xu Yuanliang said: "Because Bengu's discipline is extremely strict, especially the treatment of rebellion is even more stringent!" Ji Zhiping smiled wryly: Then, why did he mistake me for his father? Xu Yuanliang smiled and said: "That's because your figure is similar to my late father's, and my late father's voice is also a bit hoarse, and in the dark night, you are covering your face. All these coincidences scared him to death." .

After Ji Zhiping said with a wry smile, he continued with a wry smile: To tell you the truth, brother, the situation at that time was not only beyond my expectation, but also really shocked me. I was stunned, and after a while Only then did he set his steel teeth, and leaned over to search Xu Jingzhong's body.But the search results not only shocked me again, but also made me very embarrassed Xu Yuanliang cut his mouth and asked in surprise: Why is that? Ji Zhiping smiled wryly and said: Think about it, my brother, the Jade Ship is a treasure of the martial arts world that is only heard of in legends, but never seen before. If it were in your hands all of a sudden, how would you feel?

Xu Yuanliang said with a smile: This is indeed a surprise. Ji Zhiping sighed and said: At that time, in my mind, after a full meal, the battle between heaven and man, finally greed defeated reason, and swallowed the emerald ship with one hand. Having said that, he smiled apologetically and said: Brother, this is the only thing I feel sorry for. At that time, I did not send the emerald boat to Changchun Valley Xu Yuanliang laughed and said: If you had sent the emerald boat back then, today, you and I would have nothing to do! Ji Zhiping continued with a smile: My brother is really a master, really a master.

Xu Yuanliang said solemnly: Mr. Ji, everyone has selfishness. I think that many people in your situation at that time would not be more beautiful than you. Ji Zhiping smiled and said: If he is a saint, it will be different! Xu Yuanliang pursed his lips and said with a smile: A saint is also a human being, not a god. After a pause, he focused and smiled again: Mr. Ji, please continue to tell another story! Ji Zhiping asked with a smile: "It's about how I escape from danger?" Xu Yuanliang nodded. Ji Zhiping continued with a smile: Actually, there is nothing to say. Xu Yuanliang laughed and said: "There's nothing to say, it's not like your two traitors automatically let you out, right?"

Of course not. Ji Zhiping smiled, and then continued thoughtfully: Brother, before I tell you that I escaped danger, I want to tell you a secret. Although, you are the original owner of the emerald ship, I conclude that you must not know this secret. . Xu Yuanliang asked in surprise, "What kind of secret is that?" Ji Zhiping said: That is the martial arts on the emerald ship, which has different achievements due to the different aptitude, endowment and understanding of the holder. That is to say, if it is in my hands, the achievements I have obtained may be different Others, but in your hands, its achievements may be different from mine.

Xu Yuanliang was dumbfounded and said: This is an unheard of statement. Ji Zhiping said: I absolutely did not deliberately sensationalize. Xu Yuanliang said: Of course I can trust this, but what is the reason? Ji Zhiping said solemnly: "That's because the martial arts mentality on the Emerald Boat has different interpretations due to the different perceptions of the practitioners. That is to say, you can walk east, south, west, and north. Every road is different. It works, but each path has its own different achievements. Xu Yuanliang said with a oh: That's how it is. Ji Zhiping went on to say: Now, back to the original question of how I escaped from danger, when I discovered the ferocious faces of those two animals, I had to use my own scheming to make amends, and that was to deliberately hide in front of Gongye Ruyu. , Pretending to be overwhelmed and depressed, so as to relax their guard against me. Xu Yuanliang asked with a smile: They actually believed it? Ji Zhiping said: I was a little skeptical at first, but finally they couldn't compete with my acting talent, so they had to believe it. Xu Yuanliang smiled and said: What happens after I believe it? Ji Zhiping smiled and said: "Naturally, they are guarding against me, and they have relaxed. As I said before, the reason why those two beasts didn't kill me was because they wanted to use water to grind their kung fu out of my hand. Come. After working for a long time without success, they had no choice but to show their ferocious faces, put me under house arrest, and pressed my two acupoints. It is because of the above reasons that they think that I have no strength to rush to the cave by luck, and the place of confinement is a very steep natural cave. It is not easy for ordinary masters to escape even if there is no restraint. Therefore, in terms of their security, It is also more relaxed, and only sent a confidant to guard Xu Yuanliang asked with a smile: Under such circumstances, why did you escape easily? Ji Zhiping smiled wryly, and said: How can it be so easy, brother, I stayed in that dark cave for more than ten years! Xu Yuanliang asked in surprise: Why did it take so long? Ji Zhiping asked back with a smile: Brother, you should know that Gongye Ruyu is so powerful from the lessons you have learned yourself! Xu Yuanliang smiled embarrassingly, and Ji Zhiping continued: Brother, at that time, my overly sentimental and sluggish demeanor was half a pretense, but the other half was also the truth! Xu Yuanliang expressed deep sympathy and nodded embarrassingly. After Ji Zhiping pondered for a while, he let out a long sigh and continued: Although things have passed, but looking back now, there is still lingering pain in my heart. Xu Yuanliang continued in a relaxed tone: Mr. Ji, don't feel bad, let's tell it as someone else's story! It's easy for you to say. Ji Zhiping smiled and said: In order to save time, I had to make a long story short. Xu Yuanliang smiled and said: I have no objection. Ji Zhiping continued with a wry smile: At that time, my skill was really reduced and I couldn't get out of the predicament, so, in the midst of boredom, I had no choice but to deliberate over and over again the martial arts mental methods that I had memorized in my heart. There are several kinds of practice methods, so I chose the one that I thought was the best, and worked hard in secret. As a result, my skills were gradually improved, and finally I escaped from the clutches of those two beasts. After he said this in one breath, he let out a long sigh of relief and said: Brother Tai, the story is over, do you have any questions? Xu Yuanliang smiled and said: For a while, I couldn't think of what to ask. Now, I just want to ask you one thing. Is the old man's current skill higher than before? Ji Zhiping smiled wryly and said: Brother, there is no such simple thing. At present, not only my skill has not surpassed before, but even if I want to restore the previous standard, I will have to work hard for at least another year! Xu Yuanliang couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "I hope we can find the elixir to improve our gong power, that would be great." Ji Zhiping smiled flatly and said: "That depends on the fate of our fellow brothers and sisters!" Then, with a complete look on his face, he said: Brother, whether it is to find the elixir or rescue Lin Zhiqiang, it may not be a matter that can be solved in ten and a half months, but we must have confidence and patience and lurk in this Fanjing for the time being. In the mountains, waiting for the opportunity. Xu Yuanliang nodded and continued: Yes, I understand this truth. Ji Zhiping smiled and said: Brother, I have found an excellent hiding place, let's go and have a look together Ji Zhiping and Xu Yuanliang, a pair of suffering brothers, with the spirit of waiting for a rabbit, waited for the opportunity in Fanjing Mountain, and temporarily pressed it. Let’s say that Zhu Mei from Changchun Valley led the two sisters Xu Shuangwen and Xu Shuangcheng to the tea cave at the border of Sichuan, Hunan, and Guizhou provinces after they left the Fanjing Mountain area. These three people did not travel in secret, and they are still in their original attire. It may be because their hearts are too heavy, or it may be because they have no destination for a while, and they don't know where to go. Therefore, they are in a posture of traveling in the mountains and rivers, and they are happy with the situation. . It wasn't until the evening of the next day that they arrived at the tea cave. The three of them still threw themselves into the Xinglong Pavilion where they used to live. Because they were regular customers, the shopkeeper was particularly flattering to them, and vacated the two best upper rooms in the inn. The two girls shared one room, and Zhu Mei used one alone. After washing and changing clothes, and having dinner, Zhu Mei said to the two girls through sound transmission with her true energy: When you sleep at night, you should be especially alert. After Xu Shuangwen was taken aback, he also asked via voice transmission: Did grandma discover anything? Zhu Mei nodded and said: Yes, we have traveled this way, and I have discovered that there are at least two people following us secretly. Xu Shuangcheng then asked: What kind of people are those two? Zhu Mei continued after thinking: It seems that there is a man and a woman, both of whom are very skilled. The reason why I deliberately asked you to delay the trip was because I hoped to discover something, but those two people are very cunning Xu Shuangwen asked, "Grandma, do you judge that those two people are here too?" Zhu Mei smiled and said: "Maybe he lives in the Yuelai Inn next door, or he may live with us in this one." The two girls raised their eyebrows, and murderous intent appeared in their beautiful eyes. Zhu Mei hurriedly stopped her through voice transmission: Remember, before the enemy starts, we must still pretend that nothing happened. The two girls suppressed their anger, and after a long sigh, Xu Shuangwen asked in a normal voice, so low that only the three of them could hear: "Grandma, where are we going?" Zhu Mei sighed faintly: "I don't know either. At present, we take one step and count one step. Wherever we go, we count wherever we go." Xu Shuangwen asked with concern: Why don't we go home first? Zhu Mei smiled wryly and said: Home?child!At present, you are homeless! Xu Shuangcheng frowned and said: Grandma meant that Bailiyuan Zhu Mei interrupted and said: Now, don't make wild guesses for the time being, let's stay the same and see what tricks they can play. Xu Shuangwen asked intently: "Grandma, regarding our destination, I think you must have a plan in your mind?" Zhu Mei smiled and said: "Since it's a secret case, it's naturally inconvenient to make it public." Then, with a complete look on his face, he said: Shuangwen, Shuangcheng, you two sisters, do you still trust grandma as before? The two girls nodded at the same time and said: Of course. Zhu Mei continued, "Since you still trust grandma, grandma can tell you that as long as grandma is alive, she will never allow anyone to bully you, nor will she suffer any grievances." Tears welled up in the beautiful eyes of the two girls, but neither of them responded. Yes, in this situation, what can express their hearts better than silence? Seeing Zhu Mei's eyes, she couldn't help her nose sore, tears filled her bosom, and she almost burst into tears, but she suppressed it, and only sighed in her heart: Poor children, although you have been pampered since childhood, you don't know the truth of the world. There are sufferings, but you have lost your father since you were young, and your mother has nothing, so it can be said that you have never enjoyed the warmth of a family. So, strictly speaking, you should be regarded as the most pitiful people in the world. Now, you have a family even more. Can't return, the ground is full of thorns, the future is boundless grandma Xu Shuangcheng's coquettish call interrupted Zhu Mei's train of thought. After she was slightly taken aback, Xu Shuangcheng continued in a coquettish voice: Grandma!you cry Zhu Mei was startled and said: No! He also said he didn't cry. Xu Shuangcheng said: Tears are falling! It turned out that the hot tears in Zhu Mei's eyes had unconsciously rolled down her cheeks while she was thinking. At this moment, after Xu Shuangcheng pointed it out, she said: Of course, she didn't come up with anything, so she waved her hand to Xu Shuangwen, and the conversation changed accordingly: Shuangwen, take my sister back to the room to rest. After all, Xu Shuangwen was two years older than Naimei, and she knew a little more. She naturally knew why Zhu Mei was crying, but she suppressed the sadness in her heart and didn't ask any questions. He continued: "Grandma, you should rest early too." In the voice, Yingying stood up, held Naimei's hand, and said in a low voice: "Sister, let's go Zhu Mei hurriedly continued: Remember what I just said. yes After watching the backs of the two sisters disappear outside the door, Zhu Mei couldn't help letting out a deep sigh, and two lines of hot tears also rolled down. Coincidentally. At the same time as Zhu Mei let out a long sigh, in the dark shadow not far away, there was also a long and faint sigh. Under the faint light of a crescent moon, the person who uttered this long sigh was a black-clothed strange man with only a pair of fine eyes exposed. Standing on a tall tree about fifteen or sixty feet away, one can see all the movements around the Xinglong Pavilion at a glance. Chadong is a small town built on the hillside, and the big tree where the black-clothed weirdo is hiding is between the hillside and the street. The eerie man in black hadn't let out a long sigh, but a magnetic and sweet voice came from the hillside behind him saying: A man, a real man, why do you want to be a sissy, and sigh. The weird man in black responded casually: What does this have to do with your honor? The sweet voice said: I feel a little uncomfortable. The weird man in black laughed and said: No one forces you to listen! Then, he said again: That's right!Why does your lord always follow me secretly? The sweet voice swayed with a giggle and said: You will strike first, I was about to ask you this question, but you asked it first. The weird man in black smiled and said, "You mean, you mean I'm following you secretly?" yes! The sweet voice said with a smile: You say I follow you, I say you follow me, but no one can prove it I have proof that you are following me. The sweet voice said: Good!Tell the truth. The weird man in black continued: "Just now, you said that I shouldn't be like a sissy, and sighed, isn't that considered evidence?" The sweet voice said with a smile: Although this reason is a bit specious, I can't help but admire your eloquence of adapting to the situation. The weird man in black sneered, and said: Is this an admission that you are following me? Let it be! The sweet voice said with a smile: Although, I have good reasons, but I think it is too vulgar, so I don't bother to use it as a defense. The weird man in black smiled and said, "I'm a layman, so I don't dislike any vulgar excuses. Anyway, you and I are free now, so why not make a plea? As long as you have a good reason, I won't think you are doing it." follow me. The sweet voice responded with a smile: Actually, I don't care what people say!However, since you are interested in it, let's chat. After a short pause, he said with a coquettish smile: Your Excellency, Yangguan Avenue, if you can walk, so can I, and: Fengyue has no past, mountains and rivers are the guest of honor, if you can come, I can also come By the way, this reason can't be considered vulgar, but it's a bit too clichéd, don't you think? The weird man in black murmured and said: Yes, although it is a cliché, I still admit that you are right. That sweet voice said: That means, you don't think I'm following you? The weird man in black nodded and said: You can say that. The sweet voice let out a string of silver bells and said with a coquettish smile: I didn't expect you to be so talkative!Your Excellency, the night is so beautiful, how boring you are alone in the tree. The weird man in black asked with a smile: According to your opinion? How nice to come down and talk. The sweet voice continued: Anyway, you and I are alone, and we are free. I have no objection. In the voice, it has grown up from the top of the tree, formed a slanting semi-arc, and dropped on the hillside more than ten feet away. He only heard a coquettish smile from the shadows and said: Qianlong ascends to the sky, so light work!Good posture! The black-clothed weirdo sneered and said: Let's get along with each other! The secret voice asked in surprise: "How do you say this?"
