"I am a beautiful woman, why am I a thief? I was originally a good person!" Standing in the small courtyard, Xu Qian looked up to the sky and sighed, his face full of helplessness and regret.
This is so shameless. You just wiped out a whole family and took away a person’s hundreds of years of wealth. Do you think you are a good person?
Zhou Zhiruo's mouth twitched and she complained in her heart: 'Master, if you were a good person, there would be no bad people in the world. No, bad people would have to run away when they see you!'
At this time, a middle-aged man walked in from outside the courtyard and saluted Xu Qian: "Master, what you ordered has been found out!"
The man's name is "Qiao Fu", he was originally a servant of the Wu family, but of course now he has become Xu Qian's lackey.
Except for some die-hards, Xu Qian did not kill all the servants of the Zhu and Wu Houses, but tried to keep them as much as possible, because he also wanted to use these people to keep an eye on the wealth of the Zhu and Wu Houses.
The Zhu and Wu families have been operating in Kunlun for hundreds of years. They are extremely wealthy. There are hundreds of houses in the village. Even the servants and family members of the village are all luxuriously dressed and wear gold and jade. How can they not be rich?
Now that Wu Lie and Zhu Changling are dead, the wealth of the Zhu and Wu families has become Xu Qian's property, and he can't take it away for the time being, so of course he needs someone to look after it for him.
"Talk about it!"
"The master is really clever!"
Qiao Fu flattered Xu Qian, and when he saw that Xu Qian had no reaction, he hurriedly added: "According to your instructions, Master, I sent someone to investigate. Someone really saw apes near Jingshen Peak. That person was a hunter. One time
Go hunting near Jingshen Peak..."
Qiao Fu explained the information he knew in detail, "It's just that the white ape you mentioned, Master, has never been seen. He is outside the courtyard now. Master, do you want to see him?"
Ape, white ape?
That's right, what Xu Qian asked Qiao Fu to find out for him was the white ape with the "Nine Suns Manual" hidden in its belly. Now that he has arrived at Zhuwu Lianzhuang, how could Xu Qian not miss the Nine Yangs Manual? p>
According to the analysis of the original work, the valley where the white ape lives should not be far from Zhuwu Lianzhuang. If it were too far, it would be impossible for Zhang Wuji to escape there.
As for the valley where the White Ape hides, there is actually a clue in the original work - He Zudao, the "Three Saints of Kunlun", was entrusted by Yin Kexi before his death to go to Shaolin to tell Jue Yuan about the whereabouts of the Nine Yang Sutra.
The original work records that one day in the spring, He Zudao was playing the piano at the top of Jingshen Peak in Kunlun Mountain. Suddenly he heard the sound of beatings outside the hut. When he went out to see Xiaoxiangzi and Yin Kexi, they were fighting in a ball, each of them fatally wounded.
Seriously injured, but still fighting with all his strength...
Later, there was a plot about He Zudao accepting Yin Kexi's entrustment and going to Shaolin. However, He Zudao did not hear Yin Kexi's final words clearly and misunderstood "The Sutra is in the ape" as "The Sutra is in the oil".
Xiaoxiangzi and Yin Kexi fought internally. The reason was that they both wanted to monopolize the "Nine-Yang Manual" and did not want the other person to get it. They regarded the "Nine-Yang Manual" as a treasure and refused to give it up until death. Naturally, they could not let the scriptures go.
Too far away from them.
Therefore, when the two were fighting, the scripture must be not far away, that is, the white ape with the "Nine Yang Manual" hidden in its belly must be near Jingshen Peak at that time.
Xu Qian said: "Let him come in!"
Qiao Fu followed the order and went out. Not long after, a short, honest-looking foreign man was led in by Qiao Fu.
"Bach, this is my master!"
The man knelt down towards Xu Qian and said in blunt Chinese: "Bach pays homage to the Han master."
"Get up!"
Xu Qian said calmly: "I heard that you have seen a group of apes near Jingshen Peak. Tell me about it. If you tell me well, you will be rewarded. But if you dare to lie to me, you will not be able to live or die." "Bach doesn't dare to deceive the Han master!"
Bach stood up and thought about it seriously before replying: "Returning to the Han master, it was the winter of the year before last..."
What he said is basically the same as what Qiao Fu said before, but it is more specific in details. After all, he experienced it personally, while Qiao Fu heard what others said.
After Bach finished speaking, Xu Qian said: "Do you still remember where those apes hang out?"
Bach patted his chest and said proudly: "Of course I remember it. Master Han, don't underestimate me. As long as Bach has visited a place, he will never forget it."
"Okay, rest at the village for one night today, and take me with you tomorrow! Qiao Fu, take him down to receive the reward. He will be treated well, so don't neglect him!"
"Yes, Master!"
Joffe took Bach down.
Zhou Zhiruo on the side was very curious, what did his master do with a group of apes? Could it be that the master was no longer satisfied with operating on humans, so he wanted to use apes for a change?
Unable to restrain her curiosity, Zhou Zhiruo asked: "Master, what are you doing with a group of apes?"
Xu Qian smiled and said: "Find a martial arts secret book!"
What is the relationship between martial arts secrets and apes?
Zhou Zhiruo looked confused, but Xu Qian decided to be a riddler and did not tell her. He only said, "If everything goes well, you will know tomorrow."
The next morning, with Bach leading the way, Xu Qian and Zhou Zhiruo took Qiao Fu and more than a dozen Wu servants to the direction of Jingshen Peak.
After walking for two hours, Xu Qian and Zhou Zhiruo arrived at the place where Bach had seen the group of apes.
"Master Han, that's where Bach saw the apes!" Following Bach's pointer, Xu Qian saw a forest growing close to the cliff.
'This should be it. The ape is good at climbing. He climbed up from the valley to play, and he happened to be seen by Bach who was hunting.'
When he reached the edge of the cliff, Xu Qian looked down and saw a vast mist of clouds, making it difficult to see what was below.
‘Gotta go down and have a look!’
Xu Qian said to the servant of the Wu family: "You wait and watch here. If you don't see me back after two days, go back to the village by yourself."
Qiao Fu said: "If the master doesn't come back, Qiao Fu won't go anywhere. He will stay here waiting for the master to return!"
He was said to be loyal, but if he was really that loyal, how could he betray Wu Lie and become Xu Qian's lackey?
Xu Qian smiled and said: "You don't need to show your loyalty, just do your job well. When I'm not around, you will decide the affairs of the village by yourself."
Qiao Fu said again: "Master, don't worry, Qiao Fu will definitely keep an eye on Zhuangzi for his master and wait for his return!"
Xu Qian ignored him and turned to Zhou Zhiruo: "Zhiruo, let's go down with my teacher and take a look!"
The master and apprentice each carried a cloth bag, put on handmade masks, and climbed along the cliff to the bottom of the cliff.
Seeing Xu Qian, Zhou Zhiruo really climbed to the bottom of the cliff. A servant of the Wu family approached Qiao Fu and whispered: "Master Qiao, do you think we are..." and made a sign of beheading.
There was a trace of emotion on Qiao Fu's face. Everyone in the Zhu and Wu families was dead. Xu Qian became the owner of Zhu Wu's Lianzhuang Village. If Xu Qian was killed, wouldn't he become the new owner?
But this trace of emotion only flashed for a moment, and was replaced by panic and fear. Qiao Fu glared at the servant of the Wu family: "I, Qiao Fu, am loyal to my master. Don't mention this matter again. If you dare to
