Beiyin Great Sage

The barbecue is steaming hot, the meat strips are tender and delicious, and the salty taste is good. Coupled with the good wine and the mountain scenery, the freedom is better than the gods.

Liu Mengyan lay on the bluestone, drank a sip of wine, and his eyes were blurry.

He is dressed in white, with a slender figure and handsome appearance. His long hair flies when the mountain wind blows. Although he is a man, he looks like a beauty in a painting.

No wonder she can attract the jealousy of all the beauties of heaven. Her appearance and demeanor are so extraordinary that even men can't help but envy her.

"Wen Shanjing has been kind to me."

Putting down the wine jar, Liu Mengyan sighed:

"We have known each other for ten years and he has never asked me for anything. Now that he has spoken, I will go even if it means risking my life. I must go."

"Really?" Zhou Yi sat cross-legged not far away, tearing up strips of meat and chewing slowly. Compared to the other person's elegance, he looked as rude as a savage:

"The person who has been kind to you is the second young lady."

Back then, Lin Yunliu, the second young lady of the Lin family, was recruiting young people with potential among the refugees, and the two of them also joined the Lin family one after another at that time.

For them to be where they are today, the second young lady's whim is crucial.

"yes."

Liu Mengyan did not deny this and continued:

"But when I first entered the Lin family, I had no background and no cultivation. When I was ignorant, I relied on Young Master Wen to take care of me. Even the guidance and pills needed for cultivation were constantly supplied."

"Every year during the seasonal holidays, we never stop giving generous gifts."

"I owe him so much these years!"

Even more is not finished yet.

"Have you ever thought about it?" Zhou Yi said:

"The reason why he has been so kind to you from the beginning and asked for nothing is just to wait for today so that you can't refuse."

"..." Liu Mengyan tilted his head and shook his head gently:

"No wonder Brother Zhou feels so indifferent to others. He never has anyone close to him. If others show kindness, they will take it as scheming."

"Ah!"

Zhou Yi lowered his head, picked a bonfire in front of him, and said in an indifferent voice:

"Is not it?"

"At least you and I are not." Liu Mengyan smiled and said:

"Right?"

"There are too few people like Brother Liu after all." Zhou Yi's expression remained unchanged:

"That's why Zhou has so few friends."

"What an honor!" Liu Mengyan raised the wine jar and took another sip into his mouth, the drunkenness in his eyes becoming more and more obvious:

"I have thought about what you said, but how could I understand this when I was young? I will only be grateful for the warm hospitality of others, and I will owe more and more."

"Whether it's scheming or sincere, I have no choice now."

He is a smart man, how could he not see this, but things in the world are like this, even if he knows, he has to do it.

And how can an adult's overtures of kindness be so pure?

"Crack..."

The wood made a crisp crackling sound in the fire, and the flames danced, reflecting Zhou Yi's always indifferent expression.

a long time.

He spoke slowly:

"Who are we going to deal with?"

"You should have guessed it." Liu Mengyan straightened up with a solemn expression:

"Yang Shensi, deputy leader of the Qingzhu Gang!"

This kind of thing was definitely not suitable to be told to outsiders. After all, it would be difficult to keep things confidential, but he said it without any hesitation.

It also shows that he trusts Zhou Yi.

At least.

As he grew older and had seen too many evil people, he still had a grudge against Wen Shanjing, but he didn't have it here.

"It's him." Zhou Yi nodded:

"In the past few years, the Qingzhu Gang has been on the rise under the leadership of Yang Shensi. Even the Giant Whale Gang has been swallowed up by it. This person's methods are truly remarkable."

"It's indeed remarkable." Liu Mengyan said:

"It's a pity that he was only the deputy gang leader, but he did what the gang leader should do. Now that everyone in the Qingzhu Gang knows Yang Shensi, who remembers old gang leader Wen?"

"So..." Zhou Yi said:

"Wen Shanjing wants to get rid of Yang Shensi and inherit the position of gang leader?"

"No!" Liu Mengyan lowered his eyebrows:

"He wants to avenge his father's murder!"

"Um?"

Zhou Yi was stunned and said hesitantly:

"I remember, old gang leader Wen seems to be not dead yet?"

"Dead." Liu Mengyan shrugged:

"He was harmed by Yang Shensi a long time ago. The so-called recuperation from serious injuries was just a show for outsiders."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhou Yi shook his head:

"After all, the Green Bamboo Gang is the property of the Lin family, and old gang leader Wen is a servant of Senior Lin. How can the Lin family ignore him when he is killed by Yang Shensi?"

"There is no evidence." Liu Mengyan said:

"Only relying on the words of Gang Leader Wen, Yang Shensi will not die."

"Moreover, the Qingzhu Gang has never been short of supplies to the Lin family for so many years, and has even increased every year. In the minds of many Lin family members, the Qingzhu Gang is already named Yang instead of Wen. If there is really a dispute between the Lin family, who will lose and who will win? explain."

"I understand." Zhou Yi nodded:

"So when Wen Shanjing takes action against Yang Shensi, even if the Lin family knows about it, they won't care. After all, no matter who wins, the Lin family's things will be indispensable."

"What a good calculation!"

"pity……"

He looked at Liu Mengyan and said:

"Your big day is coming soon, will the eldest lady let you take risks?"

If Lin Yunliu knew about this, he would definitely not agree, or he would be forced to join forces with Wen Shanjing to get rid of Yang Shensi.

Maybe.

This was Wen Shanjing's plan.

Tying Liu Mengyan to his chariot is equivalent to tying Lin Yunliu to him. With Lin Yunliu, how can the Lin family stay out of the matter?

"I won't tell her."

Liu Mengyan looked gloomy:

"This matter will be resolved before getting married."

Zhou Yi shook his head gently.

This friend of mine is still too naive. Some things are just not what you think.

Ghost alley.

Not long after the massacre of Kunshan City, the place began to regain its vitality.

Perhaps it is precisely because the people here are shady that they are more adaptable to the chaos during the massacre, and there are always people who need to trade.

Wearing a cloak, Zhou Yi opened the black curtain and walked into a shop selling books. He flipped through it and then looked at the store:

"Still don't have what I want?"

"Guest sir."

The store owner obviously knew this regular customer of the store, and he replied after hearing this:

"Yes, there is, but you always say it's false."

"False, I have never wronged you." Zhou Yi said in a low voice:

"New?"

"Yeah." The store owner took out a book from under the counter and handed it over casually, while shaking his head and saying:

"Sir, does that thing you are talking about really exist?"

"Perhaps the story of immortals is just a rumor. I have been in the bookstore business for thirty years. I have heard a lot about gods and monsters, but I have never seen any of them."

"Me neither." Zhou Yi took the book and opened it casually:

"But just in case there is one, even if there is no immortal legend, you can still read it as an interesting story. It is always more interesting than the classic poems and books you have here."

"makes sense."

The shopkeeper nodded, thought for a while, and said:

"Someone came to sell a book called "Book of Thousand Spirits" some time ago, but he asked for a hundred taels of silver."

"I think he is crazy about money!"

"Book of Thousand Spirits?" Under the black robe, Zhou Yi's eyes shrank, and Gu Jing Wubo's voice brought out some imperceptible ripples:

"Has that person ever come again?"

If he remembered correctly, Hengbaoju attacked him because he recognized the dead mushroom from the Book of Thousand Spirits.

I don’t know, is it the same book?

Titles like these are rare, so the odds are good!

When the yellow ant army massacred the city, Zhou Yi also searched for this book in the city and even went to Hengbaoju, but failed to find any clues.

I never thought I would hear this name again today.

"No." The shopkeeper shook his head.

"Who is that person?" Zhou Jia spoke again.

"Hehe..." The store owner raised his eyebrows:

"My guest is also a frequent visitor to the ghost alley. How could he not know that it is taboo to inquire about other people's whereabouts here? How do I know who that person is?"

"Yeah?"

Zhou Yi turned around, took off the money bag from his waist and slowly placed it on the table:

"Say who that person is, and these will be yours."

"Crash..."

The scattered pieces of silver in the purse collided, making a crisp and alluring sound that made the shopkeeper's throat roll and he pursed his lips subconsciously.

He looked up with hesitation on his face.

"Sir, are you joking?"

"Maybe."

Zhou Yi spoke:

"You can give it a try. If you try it right, you can get the money you can get after several years of hard work. If you try it wrong, there seems to be no loss."

"This..." The store owner's eyes flashed, and he suddenly reached out to hold the money bag:

"I said."

"who?"

"Dock Liu!"

"Um?"

This is a very unfamiliar name.

"The leader arranged by the Giant Whale Gang at the dock is a body-training warrior with great skills. Now he has joined the Qingzhu Gang. As for the others, I don't know."

"That's it." Zhou Yi understood and reached out to grab the money bag.

With his strength, it was impossible for the store owner to resist. Even if he grabbed the money bag with all his strength, he still watched helplessly as the items were taken away.

His eyes were full of unwillingness and anger.

"pity."

Zhou Yi shook his head slightly, took out a broken piece of silver and threw it over:

"My money is tight at this time and I am short of money. I can only apologize. I will treat this little money as hard work."

The shopkeeper looked helpless, took the silver, shook it in his mouth, watched Zhou Yi leave, and could only whisper a few words behind his back.

Of course, Pier Liu's surname is Liu. Because he is the third eldest son, he is often called Liu Laosan. He used to hang out with Meng Xiu, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang's water diversion hall.

nowadays.

Then they all switched to the Qingzhu Gang.

He lives in an alley in the south of the city, adjacent to the Meng family mansion.

After a few rounds, Zhou Yi got the news he wanted.

…………

"Uh-huh!"

A figure jumped up high and shuttled through the dense forest. From time to time, he stopped and looked back to make sure no one was following him before moving forward again.

Soon after.

The figure fell into the open space surrounded by several large trees, looking at the lonely figure in the field with complicated eyes.

"sister."

Liu Xiao's voice was harsh:

"You're looking for me."

"Um."

Liu Xinran, who was carrying a long sword on his back, slowly turned his head. The veil on his face was lifted by the mountain wind, revealing the scars on his face that looked like centipede climbing marks.

She looked at Liu Xiao with soft eyes:

"You came."

"Um."

Looking at his biological sister, Liu Xiao's expression was a bit complicated, ranging from kindness and gratitude to fear and alienation.

"Sister, do you have a problem with me?"

"What are you afraid of?" Liu Xinran's face darkened:

"Are you so shameless when you come to see your sister?"

"Sister!" Liu Xiao sighed:

"Don't forget, you are now a member of the Red Lotus Sect. If anyone knows that I am still in contact with you, the Lin family will not let me go, and Ronger will not forgive me."

"Be considerate."

"Rong'er." Liu Xinran snorted coldly:

"They are really my good siblings!"

"Sister." Liu Xiao pursed her lips and said:

"Rong'er and I are married, and we will become one husband and wife, and we already have children. I hope you can sincerely bless us."

"Just like us, even if you join the Red Lotus, we want you to have a happy life."

"Happiness?" Liu Xinran's beautiful eyes widened, her face was ferocious, her delicate body was trembling slightly, and she roared:

"Ten years, a full ten years, as soon as I close my eyes, I will see the scene of my parents dying tragically in front of me!"

"Their faces are covered with blood and their eyes are filled with despair. Do you know what that feels like?"

"You make me happy?"

"How can I be happy if my parents' revenge has not been avenged?"

"How dare I... be happy!"

Liu Xiao was silent.

a long time.

Fang spoke slowly:

"Sister, the past is in the past, and you can never go back. There are some things that you don't have to be too...come to think of it, my parents can't bear to see you like this."

Halfway through his words, he changed slightly.

"snort."

Liu Xinran hummed:

"I know who the enemy is."

"who?"

Liu Xiao suddenly raised his head.
