Three Mountains and Four Shows are named after the three peaks of the Five Mountains, while the Four Shows are named after the birthplaces of the four women.
Chu Xiuru and Yusu were naturally born and raised in the land of Jingchu, while Shu Xiu and Zhang Mudan, from their names, you can tell that she was born in the land of Bashu.
Wu Yi had never heard of the names of Sanshan and Sixiu before, so it was normal for him not to know the name of Shuxiu.
On the other hand, the young man seemed to have swallowed a fly and looked at Wu Yi suspiciously, as if he wanted to confirm whether the person in front of him was the great witch of the witch clan.
In the eyes of young people, Zhang Mudan's name is like Bill Gates. He should have heard of it as a person, right? Especially as a member of Guyin, he has never even heard of Zhang Mudan's name, which is like a doctor.
I don’t know if the aspirin chef has never heard of Michelin or the restaurant driver doesn’t know what a Ferrari is. It’s outrageous!
"I have indeed never heard of Zhang Mudan. Please tell me about her situation. Otherwise, how would you ask me to investigate? Should I just go and ask her with a blank look in my eyes?" Wu Yi said angrily.
The young man then put away his shocked look and said honestly: "Okay, I will tell you about her glorious deeds!"
Wu Yi listened and the young man said that after half an hour, Wu Yi realized that Li Jia's visit was indeed up to no good!
Zhang Mudan is the granddaughter of Mrs. Hu, ranking twelfth among the seventeen granddaughters.
When Zhang Mudan was a child, she didn't show any special talents, but when she was fourteen, she suddenly had an idea and mastered a unique skill in Shang Liu that no one had been able to master for hundreds of years - the art of phantom.
When it comes to Shang Liu, they are the least capable and most capable among the ancient hidden forces. They are said to be incompetent because Shang Liu does not have superhuman strength like other sects. But they are capable because they are
You can achieve terrifying achievements simply by relying on your brains.
No matter how powerful other schools are, they cannot control the economic lifeline of a country like the Shang Dynasty. To put it bluntly, if Mrs. Hu is willing, she can destroy a country's wealth in an instant with just one word!
However, the merchants did not have no inheritance other than making money. They still left behind some mysterious spells, and the phantom technique was one of them.
It is said that the phantom technique was created by a profiteer thousands of years ago. The original purpose was to cheat money and escape safely. Unexpectedly, after thousands of years of continuous exploration and improvement, it turned out to be a magical spell. This phantom technique is used
Somewhat similar to invisibility, it can use dark light to completely hide the figure. It is similar to the ninjutsu of Japan. But it is a bit more advanced than ninjutsu.
After Zhang Mudan mastered the phantom technique, her status in the family rose rapidly. It is said that Mrs. Hu doted on her very much. However, her fame at that time was only among the merchants, and most people in Guyin did not think that merchants could produce any talents.
And just a few years ago at a gathering in Guyin, Zhang Mudan became famous in one fell swoop, and even to this day has left a deep impression on many people.
At that party, someone proposed the name Three Mountains and Four Shows for the first time, and the original version of Three Mountains and Four Shows was selected on the spot.
There are a total of seven people in the Three Mountains and Four Shows, and there is also a Shuxiu among them. But it is not Zhang Mudan, but a girl named Gu Xinyue in Zonghengliu. Gu Xinyue is also a banner figure in Zonghengliu. She has been carefully cultivated since she was a child. She is definitely
A young talent that attracts much attention.
However, as soon as the selection results came out, she was immediately challenged, and the challenger was Zhang Mudan. She asked by name to challenge Shu Xiu Gu Xinyue, and the reason was very simple: she was also born in the land of Bashu, and the title Shu Xiu was
It can only be hers. It cannot be given to anyone else.
Gu Xinyue was also young and vigorous. How could she give up the title of Shuxiu to Zhang Mudan when she just got it? Besides, Zhang Mudan was not well-known at the time. In the eyes of everyone, she was just a spoiled little girl. Almost no one thought that she had any talent.
What better place than the ancient crescent.
The two girls refused to give in to each other, so they simply followed Gu Yin's old rules and held a competition to determine who was the owner of the title Shuxiu.
Although several years have passed since that competition, when the young man told the story, there was still a touch of shock on his face.
"You didn't see the scene at that time... I was younger at that time. I stood in the crowd and craned my neck to look, but I couldn't see Zhang Mudan. She was like a gust of wind and a shadow.
If you can't touch her and can't even see her, how can my poor senior sister Gu win?" The young man shook his head and sighed.
From the young man's expression and tone, Wu Yi seemed to see a hint of past admiration, and asked: "The result is that Zhang Mudan won the title of Shuxiu?"
"Not only..." the young man said, "she also ruined Senior Sister Gu's appearance."
"What?" Wu Yi was surprised. As far as he knew, Gu Yin's competitions were always done to the point, and few people were injured. As for such serious consequences as disfigurement, it was simply impossible!
A cold light flashed in the young man's eyes: "I have always remembered that scene. Zhang Mudan was teasing Senior Sister Gu by moving around like a dog. Senior Sister Gu was angered and used one of our Zonghengliu's powerful spells.
His name was Fen Tianyan. He originally just wanted to scare Zhang Mudan and make her retreat. Unexpectedly, this woman...she actually used the error caused by her movement to lure Senior Sister Gu to throw out the spell, but then lured the spell back.
Senior Sister. By the time Master and the others rushed to save her, it was already too late. Senior Sister Gu was originally very beautiful, but half of her face was burned..."
Wu Yi was secretly frightened when he heard this. It seemed that Zhang Mudan was not only proficient in the phantom technique, but also had a very cruel temper. He had to be careful when dealing with him.
"What happened next?" Wu Yi thought it would be better to ask a few more questions.
The young man snorted coldly: "Later, Senior Sister Gu couldn't bear the blow and committed suicide! Now no one remembers that Shu Xiu was Senior Sister Gu, they all only know Zhang Mudan!"
"Didn't you Zonghengliu pursue this matter?" Wu Yi asked strangely.
"What's the pursuit? Many people say that Senior Sister Gu accidentally burned herself with the Burning Heaven Flame. Zhang Mudan can't be blamed at all. Besides, Shang Liu's power is far stronger than ours, Zong Heng Liu. It's overestimating our ability to settle accounts with them.
!" the young man said angrily.
Wu Yi somewhat understood why the young man came to work for Li Jia. Maybe this guy was one of Gu Xinyue's former admirers, and it was because of this that he resented Gu Yin!
"Okay, I probably know what kind of person this is." Wu Yidao, "But I still don't know why I want to investigate her?"
"Because she is from the Qingyun Society," the young man said.
Seeing that Wu Yi had no reaction, he asked suspiciously: "Don't you know what Qingyun is?"
"You're right. What is Qingyun Club?" Wu Yi was also a little helpless. Wumen has really been separated from Guyin for too long, and a lot of information cannot be kept up with.
The young man had to explain to Wu Yi again that the Qingyun Society was an organization jointly established by several forces in Guyin. Everyone helped each other and did some things together.
As for what this business is, there are actually no special restrictions. It can be as small as a few Qingyunhui members opening a hot pot restaurant, as large as several forces teaming up to buy a diamond mine abroad, or even some people running to Africa to work as mercenaries.
, helped the local indigenous people seize power in exchange for twenty-year mining rights to hundreds of oil wells!
Wu Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard that Qingyunhui could actually do so many things. He asked doubtfully: "Guyin has many rules. Among the things you mentioned, some of them seem to be forbidden!"
The young man nodded and said: "That's right, it's forbidden by Gu Yin, but Qingyun Association can do it. Now the senior leaders of Gu Yin are all old men, and what they hope is that nothing will happen. For some things that violate the rules, they have always been
He turned a blind eye. What’s more, the Qingyun Society is very powerful now and is closely related to the interests of everyone in the ancient world. No one will violate everyone’s interests for the sake of some outdated rules!"
Wu Yi couldn't help but nod when he heard this. What the young man was talking about was the reality of Gu Yin. Today, Gu Yin is more like a turtle hiding in its shell. He hopes that the hard shell can protect himself. In fact, he is just deceiving himself!
"So, Li Jia is going to investigate the Qingyun Society?" Wu Yi asked.
The young man nodded and said: "That's right... Qingyun Society is now infiltrating government affairs from all aspects, and its ambitions are very big. Moreover, they have no bottom line in doing things and violate the interests of the country. Do you remember Guo Jiang? You know who put him
The one who pulled him off was Qingyunhui, and it was Zhang Mudan who personally came out to contact him."
"That's it." Wu Yi understood.
But he still has one question left, that is, why does Li Jia think he can investigate Zhang Mudan clearly?
Hearing the question raised by Wu Yi, the young man smiled and said: "The reason is very simple. You are very famous now. Zhang Mudan will definitely come to you after hearing about it. As long as you are careful when contacting her,
It is possible to get some information. But I am just a messenger. This is just my personal opinion and does not represent the official opinion. Well, we have met for a long enough time. In order not to attract other people's attention, we will stop here today.
Don’t contact me in the future. If you meet me on the road, you will treat me as if you don’t know me.”
"I didn't know you either." Wu Yi smiled.
The young man stood up, said "I wish you good luck", paid the bill and left.
Wu Yi stayed for a while, finished the tea in front of him, and then stood up slowly.
Just after walking out of Huiyuan, Wu Yi was thinking about how to get rid of this matter, or simply use a procrastination technique so that he wouldn't have to do it after Guyin's party was over.
While thinking about it and walking forward, Wu Yi suddenly felt a slight movement in his mind. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the shadow under the high wall beside him.
I heard a chuckle from the shadows, and a graceful figure slowly emerged, saying at the same time: "As expected of the great witch of the witch sect, I was discovered by you!" (To be continued...)
