Drunken and faintly dreaming

On Wohu Hill in Mangcang Mountain, Xin Zhuihu can no longer chase the big tiger no matter what. At this moment, he is hanging in the air, curled up in a steel mesh bag, and the once famous "Chasing Tiger"

"Feng Zhuyun Sword Technique" has obviously lost its usefulness.

Since that night, after taking action to "cure" the dark ghost who was ordered to eavesdrop, Xin Zhuihu looked all the way to the southwest - into the deep mountains and old forests, searching for traces of the injured tiger. What made him very helpless was that

, the southwest area of ​​Mangcang Mountain has more steep mountains and denser woods. It is quite difficult to find anything in such an environment.

However, since Xin Zhuihu is known as "Chasing the Tiger", this name is definitely not for nothing! As early as more than ten years ago, under the sole leadership of Lao Xin, Beiming Pavilion entered its heyday.

At that time, the entire world was afraid of him and chased him like a tiger - and just gave him the nickname "Northern Tiger".

Later, due to repeated failures in tracking down the pair of tiger fangs, Wang Zhan, the lord of Nanwei Kingdom, was furious and deprived Xin Zhuihu of his position as the head of the Beiming Pavilion. Since then, Xin Zhuihu had wandered around the world and made many mistakes.

For the days of "freedom and happiness"...

After Xin Zhuihu wandered around the world, because of his great reputation, people often wanted to compete with him. Later, he gradually got tired of this bloody lifestyle of swords and swords, so he went to the Ni family in Jiaxing incognito and became "Shen Dake".

His fake name became the chief instructor of the nursing homes in this mansion.

In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Xin Zhuihu no longer used swords in public, and deliberately changed to using knives when teaching martial arts. His Xin family's ancestral home is in Zhuozhou, and the family has passed down a set of "wood splitting knife skills" from their ancestors. Although it is simple,

It was rough but very practical, so Xin Zhuihu simply taught this set of sword skills to the guards.

How did he know that among the nursing homes, there was a young man named Yi Jiang who, although he looked honest and simple, was actually a spy from a dark organization. Yi Jiang was usually very respectful and attentive to the chief instructor, but secretly he was

I have been paying close attention to every movement and movement in Ni's house.

The owner of the Ni family, Ni Liang, highly praised and respected the head teacher, who was both morally and artistically talented. Later, he even had to talk to him privately. One afternoon, Ni Liang specially invited the head teacher to have a drink in the study.

What I drank that day was the stronger Liuhe Daqu.

After a while, the half-awake and half-drunk Ni Liang told Xin Zhuihu a top-secret piece of information: his cousin Shen Yixi had revealed it during his last visit - he wanted to entrust him to take care of a rare treasure.

The idea of ​​​​this owner who likes to show off was talking, his tone became darker and darker, and then he fell asleep with his head tilted...

At that moment, Xin Zhuihu, who had particularly good ears, keenly caught it - at the foot of the wall outside the room, a very slight breathing sound suddenly appeared! Xin Zhuihu knew that something was wrong, and immediately wanted to rush out.

After investigating, he heard his master's voice calling him from behind: "Dake...Shen Dake!"

Xin Zhuihu heard his master's murmur, so he had no choice but to turn back, sit down again and wait quietly... About half an hour later, Ni Liang slowly woke up. He wiped his sleepy eyes,

As soon as he saw Xin Zhuihu, he immediately opened his mouth and asked, "Dake, did I just say something that I shouldn't have said?"

"No... no!" Of course Xin Zhuihu could only answer him this way, but in his own heart, he was already secretly worried - has the master's secret that should not be revealed been leaked now?

That night, the young man named Yi Jiang suddenly had a stomachache. When Ni Liang, who always cared about his servants, heard about it, he immediately sent him to a medical center near the east gate for treatment. The medical center near the east gate has only been treating patients in recent months. The owner of the restaurant is named Bu. He looks very old.

Strangely enough, the young man Yi Jiang's stomachache came on suddenly and went away very quickly. When Xin Zhuihu saw him again the next morning, the young man was already jumping up and down - as if nothing was wrong with him.

So, what kind of rare treasure does Shen Yixi possess that he is afraid that it is not appropriate to keep it with him, so he wants to temporarily store it in the Ni family? Xin Zhuihu is really curious about this... …

Some days later, Yi Jiang was punished by the housekeeper to guard the back door because he was rude to a visiting guest. Some days later, Lao Mu, who was guarding the back door with Yi Jiang, was sleeping. I fell off the bed and was seriously injured.

Since there was a desolate ruin outside the back door, which was usually deserted, none of the nursing staff were willing to guard it. Yi Jiang, who was left alone, simply recommended himself and suggested to the owner: It would be better to let him A person lives alone in the woodshed in the backyard and is solely responsible for guarding the back door, right?

The owner Ni Liang was overjoyed when he heard this. Not only did he praise Yi Jiang beautifully on the spot, and rewarded him with an extra sum of money, he also made a solemn promise: Let him do this job for two years, and then he will be replaced by someone else. Ni Liang, who thought he was pie-in-the-sky, could not have predicted that not even a month after letting Yi Jiang see the back door, a rare and catastrophic disaster occurred in the house!

Xin Zhuihu basically understood many of the circumstances surrounding the Ni family's massacre. Some time ago, when he was hiding in the Wuming Taoist Temple at Xianglu Peak, he calmed down to analyze many of the details at that time. After thinking about it, I suddenly realized that the guy named Yi Jiang was definitely the key to the Ni family's disaster!

However, some time has passed since that incident. How can Xin Zhuihu find that "Yi Jiang" in the vast sea of ​​people? Coincidentally, he is suffering from not knowing How did he find "Yi Jiang", but he didn't know - it turned out that "Yi Jiang" had also been secretly watching his every move!

From the moment Xin Zhuihu broke into Mangcang Mountain carrying the orphan of his late master on his back, there was always a pair of bright rat eyes staring at him in the dark. Later, because Xin Zhuihu and his old friend Qiu Laoliu... After mutual exchange, Nan Hezi, who was confused for a moment, hurriedly went to Wuming Taoist Temple at night.

At this point, readers should be able to deduce: So "Yi Jiang" is also the Nan Hezi? No. The stupid young man who was undercover in the Ni family before, his true identity is that of Bi Yunkai's subordinate in Lingyuntai. A rare and capable person - a spy under Nan Hezi.

This spy under Nan Hezi is named Xi Yaozi. He is a special intelligence agent whom Lingyuntai recruited from Shijintang of Xidi Kingdom earlier. Soon after he went to lurk in the Ni family, Xi Yaozi had already found out clearly: that Shen Dake, who looks a bit rustic - is actually the famous Xin Zhuihu!

Late that night, Xi Yaozi learned through tracking and inquiry that Xin Zhuihu had quietly sneaked into the unknown Taoist temple on Xianglu Peak, so he quickly conveyed the news to Nan Hezi. Later, Nan Hezi paid a late-night visit

Those things in the Wuming Taoist Temple...
