Chapter 23 Chapter 23: Do It Yourself

Chu Liuxiang smiled, but immediately frowned and said, "The annoying people that senior mentioned, could it be..." Dai Duxing said: "It's those people who live in the yard next to yours. I came here to track them down, but I didn't expect to meet Xiangshuai here." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "In this way, the junior should be grateful to them, but I don't know what they did to be able to work hard for the senior?" Dai Duxing smiled and said: "The old man is most afraid of loneliness, because they are always afraid that the king of Hades will arrest him when there is no one around. I am no exception, so I just meddle in other people's business all day long."

He lowered his face, and continued: "Although those few people are unknown pawns in the Jianghu, they recently did a very hateful thing. My old man has sworn to kill them." What was the very hateful thing that he didn't say?Chu Liuxiang never asked too many questions, Chu Liuxiang never liked talking too much. Dai Duxing said: "Now that the old man has found them, but still hasn't done anything, Xiang Shuai may feel a little strange." Chu Liuxiang said: "Exactly." Dai Duxing sighed, and said: "It's just because they seem to be fascinated by ghosts, they don't escape anywhere, but they escape here. You should know that it is inconvenient to kill people near here."

Chu Liuxiang said emotionally: "That's right, this junior has also heard that 'Jellyfish Yin Ji' never allows others to kill people within a hundred miles of 'Shenshui Palace', and she will kill anyone who violates her prohibition. " Dai Duxing smiled again, and said: "I'm not afraid of her, it's just that good men don't fight women. I've lived so long, why should I fight women again?" This old man is really Jiang Gui's nature, old and spicy, he will never bow his head to anyone, let alone lose his mouth in front of others. Although Chu Liuxiang felt a little funny in her heart, she could only agree with her: "Senior said that when fighting against women, the unlucky ones are always men."

Dai Duxing said with a smile: "This old man wanted to have a drink with Xiang Shuai a long time ago, but it's a pity that the beggar can't be admitted to the elegant hall, so I have to borrow this place for the time being. I just hope that when Mr. Dong Hong comes tomorrow, don't be caught We are left with the smell of wine." Chu Liuxiang suppressed a smile and said, "I don't know if the seniors have prepared dog meat? The juniors don't eat dog meat." Dai Duxing patted him on the shoulder, laughed loudly and said: "I think you may also be poisoned by those storytellers. When those people talk about beggars eating, there must be a pot of dog meat simmering next to them. In fact, beggars are not everyone. They all eat dog meat."

The lit candles were half burned, the wine jars under the table had been unsealed, and there were still bags of marinated vegetables wrapped in oiled paper on the table. Dai Duxing really looked like he was ready to treat him. But just a few days ago, he still didn't want to meet Chu Liuxiang, why did he suddenly change this time?What happened in the past few days that made him change his mind? Chu Liuxiang suddenly realized that he definitely did not meet her by accident, he must have something to ask Chu Liuxiang, and it seemed to be a very important matter. After drinking a few cups, Chu Liuxiang suddenly smiled and said, "Senior, did you already know that the 'Shenshui Palace' is going to cause trouble for the younger generation, and you are sure that the younger generation will definitely come here, so you have been waiting here for a long time, ready to help the younger generation? "

Dai Duxing was startled, raised his glass and laughed loudly: "Old man often hears people say: Chu Liuxiang is a courage made of iron, but a heart of crystal, this is really true, as expected, I can never hide anything from you." Chu Liuxiang said: "Your gang's news is really well-informed, and senior's generosity is even more grateful, but this matter..." Dai Duxing hurriedly said: "The old man also knows that this matter is beyond the control of others, and this time he just wanted to report a piece of news to Xiang Shuai, to talk about Xiang Shuai's kindness to our gang, just in case. "

Chu Liuxiang leaned back and said, "Senior, you are serious." Dai Duxing said: "The matter I want to talk about is also related to that unscrupulous gangster Nanguan Ling." Chu Liuxiang said, "No flowers?" Dai Duxing put the wine glass heavily on the table, sighed and said: "That's right, Wuhua, although this person is outside the party, he doesn't abide by the rules, and he seduces a pure and pure girl from the 'Shenshui Palace' into adultery. But Xiang Shuai must have known about the fact that he was trapped in death." (For details, please refer to the first part of this book)

Chu Liuxiang said: "But the junior never spread this matter, but I don't know how the senior knows?" Dai Duxing sighed: "Xiang Shuai hides evil and promotes good, and he is unwilling to reveal people's privacy. This kind of virtue is certainly respectable, but the sky network is well-established, and it is not leaked. No matter how secret a person is, sooner or later others will know it. .” He sighed and continued: "Although Nangong Ling committed a heinous crime, after death, it will be over. The elders of our gang decided to bury his body with the ceremony of the gang leader. This... This is naturally because They feel that family ugliness should not be publicized, and Xiang Shuai must understand the reason for this."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Yes." Dai Duxing said: "The disciples of this gang checked Nangong Ling's relics during his lifetime, and when they were about to bury him, they found a very ancient wooden fish among his relics." Chu Liuxiang frowned slightly, and said, "Wooden fish?" Dai Duxing said: "It's the wooden fish used by the monks to chant scriptures. Our children neither worship Buddha nor chant scriptures. How could there be wooden fish left? So everyone thought that this wooden fish must be stored there by Wuhua." Chu Liuxiang nodded and said, "Not bad."

Dai Duxing said: "As long as everyone thinks that Nangong Ling's whole life was murdered by this evil monk Wuhua, they will inevitably feel grief and indignation..." He continued sadly: "You must know that Nangong Ling was a kind and considerate boy when he was a child, and the elders of our gang have deep feelings for him." Chu Liuxiang sighed and nodded, thinking to herself: "If your child has done something wrong, parents must think that someone else caused it. This is human nature." I only heard Dai Duxing continue: "Among them, Elder Wang was the most excited, he couldn't help snatching the wooden fish and threw it heavily on the ground, who knew that after the wooden fish was smashed, a paper book appeared inside. "

Chu Liuxiang was moved and said, "The paper book? What is written on it?" Dai Duxing said: "This paper book is kept so secretively, even if it is not a martial arts mentality recorded on it, it must be a great secret. The old man and others are not people who like to reveal people's privacy, so they planned to burn it. But Elder Wang thought that the secret might be related to the beggar gang, so he insisted on taking a look." You must know that the children of the beggar gang have always regarded themselves as righteous, but it is very dishonorable to peek at other people's secret letters and private records. That's why Dai Duxing said a lot of words to explain, and Chu Liuxiang naturally only claimed to be right. Dai Duxing drank a glass of wine, and continued: "This book really records the secrets of Wuhua's life. I really can't figure out why he wants to record these embarrassing things." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "Even though senior feels shameful about these things, Wu Hua may think that he is proud of them instead. He can't tell these things, so he can only write them down one by one to comfort himself." Dai Duxing also smiled, and said: "Xiang Shuai has indeed studied the psychology of these villains thoroughly. No wonder no matter how cunning a person is, once they meet Xiang Shuai, they can't hide." Chu Liuxiang had no choice but to thank him again, but asked: "Among the secrets recorded by Wuhua, could it be about the 'Shenshui Palace'?" Dai Duxing said: "Because of this, this old man came here to report to Xiangshuai." Chu Liuxiang said: "I dare not..." He pondered and said again: "Senior, do you want to lend his secret book to this junior?" Dai Duxing also murmured, and said slowly: "I originally intended this way, but...but Wuhua is known as a 'wonderful monk', and some famous families in the Jianghu are proud to have him as a guest, so...so he In that secret book, there are still many secrets of other people's boudoir daughters. If some of them are leaked out, the world will not know how many good families will be broken up, and how many good women will die in embarrassment. That dirty book was burned." Chu Liuxiang said, "It's well done." Dai Duxing said: "But the things about the 'Shenshui Palace' recorded on it, the old man has already remembered it in his heart, because he may be the only man who has entered the Shenshui Palace, his records are naturally very precious." Chu Liuxiang said: "The junior would like to hear the details." Dai Duxing sighed: "He is indeed a very intelligent person, not only good at interpreting music, calligraphy and painting, but also good at speaking, even the Yin Palace Lord of Shenshui Palace has heard his name, but Yin Palace Lord is very sincere in worshiping Buddha. people." Chu Liuxiang said: "This junior has heard people talk about it before." Dai Duxing said: "Wu Hua not only feels honored to be summoned by the master of Shenshui Palace to give a lecture, but also hits the target, because he has long been working on the idea of ​​'Tianyi Shenshui'." Chu Liuxiang said: "If you want to kill someone, but you can't see the signs of poisoning after death, there is nothing in the world except 'Tianyi Shenshui'." Dai Duxing said: "But even though he has entered Shenshui Palace, he still has no chance to take advantage of it, because Palace Master Yin has extremely strict restraint on his disciples, and he has no chance to talk to those girls at all." Chu Liuxiang said: "Oh!" Dai Duxing said: "Besides, Palace Lord Yin didn't keep him to live in Shenshui Palace, but every day starting at noon, he was invited to teach the Dharma for an hour, and someone would send him out of the valley immediately after speaking, and he could stay for a while longer. not." Chu Liuxiang pondered and said: "Who are the people who picked him up?" Dai Duxing said: "The four female disciples from Shenshui Palace who picked him up and sent him off. The four of them were monitoring each other. There was really no chance for him to take advantage of. Even he himself thought it was hopeless. Who would have thought that one day, He suddenly found that one of the four girls was secretly smiling at him." Chu Liuxiang sighed, "This girl must be Situ Jing." Dai Duxing said: "That's right, but he didn't know the name Situ Jing at that time, he just felt that the girl's eyes seemed to be full of affection, as if she was interested in him, but there was still no chance for the two of them to speak." Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly and said, "People like Wuhua don't need to talk if they want to flirt." Dai Duxing said: "But without a chance, he still can't do it." Chu Liuxiang said: "A person like him will naturally create opportunities for himself." Dai Duxing said bitterly: "Exactly." He continued: "According to his records, Shenshui Palace is a valley with flowers blooming like a brocade, like a peach garden. There are many pavilions dotted among the trees, which are the residences of the female disciples of Shenshui Palace." Chu Liuxiang secretly said: "Sure enough, Rong'er is right, but what Liu Wumei said, so what's going on?" Dai Duxing said: "There is also a waterfall in the valley, which is like a flying dragon. Under the waterfall, there is a pool like a mirror. There is a big rock in the pool. That is where the saying of no flowers comes from." He went on to say: "Wuhua One Man Valley will sit on this big rock and give the Dharma, and leave after speaking. After painstaking planning, he feels that he can only play tricks on this big rock." Chu Liuxiang couldn't help asking, "What kind of trick?" Dai Duxing said: "This boulder was originally as smooth as a mirror. One day when he entered the valley, he stepped on the moss and mud on purpose. As soon as he stepped on the stone, he slid down." He continued bitterly: "Everyone knows that Wuhua is a master of Shaolin. If it is said that he can't even stand firmly, others will not believe it, but it's hard to say when the soles of his shoes are covered with moss and mud. He only fell into the water by doing a body technique, this person is so contrived that even the Lord of the Yin Palace has been deceived." Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly and thought to himself: "Isn't it true that I have been deceived by him many times? If a person can deceive me, I am afraid that there are very few people who cannot be deceived." I only heard Dai Duxing continue: "After he is soaked all over, it is naturally difficult for him to speak with peace of mind. Naturally, he must dry his clothes first. No one can say that this request is unreasonable, even the Lord of the Yin Palace can't refuse, so I asked someone to take him. In a small temple at the foot of the mountain, a fire was built for him to bake his clothes." Chu Liuxiang said: "It takes at least half an hour to dry the clothes, half an hour is enough to do a lot of things." Dai Duxing said: "He thought that the girl Situ Jing who smiled at him would also take this opportunity to be alone with him, but who knew that it was the other two girls who brought him to the temple, and after lighting the fire, immediately So I left, and closed all the doors and windows of that small temple tightly." Chu Liuxiang also felt a little surprised, and said: "In this way, isn't there nothing that Wuhua can do?" Dai Duxing said: "While he was worrying, that girl Situ suddenly came out from behind the veil and offered her life to him voluntarily. According to records, even he himself was surprised by this change." Chu Liuxiang was also moved by it, and murmured: "That Situ girl came out from behind the veil? So, there must be a secret passage in that small temple... Is every house in Shenshui Palace private? Are there secret passages? Do all the secret passages lead to the residence of 'Jellyfish Yin Ji'? There are even secret passages as far as the Bodhi Temple where Liu Wumei is?" Although Dai Duxing didn't understand what he was talking about, he didn't ask any more questions, but continued: "According to him, that Situ Jing turned out to be one of the most trusted disciples of Palace Master Yin. He was desperate, he just said that he wanted to experience the 'Tianyi Shenshui', Situ Jing immediately stole a bottle for him, and secretly handed it to him two days later when he was leaving the valley." Chu Liuxiang was surprised and said, "It's so easy?" Dai Duxing said: "He never thought that this matter would be so easy, because although the disciples of the 'Shenshui Palace' are as beautiful as peaches and plums, they are as cold as ice. He never thought that Situ Jing would voluntarily sacrifice himself. More frivolous than a slut or a whore.” Chu Liuxiang said: "Besides, she can steal the whole bottle of 'Tianyi Shenshui' within a day or two. Naturally, she is the favored disciple of 'Jellyfish Yin Ji'. She can get the favor of jellyfish, so she is naturally not a frivolous and lustful person. People, how can they completely change when they see Wuhua?" Dai Duxing sighed: "I'm afraid this is what Buddhism calls evil fate." Chu Liuxiang said: "From my disciple's point of view, I'm afraid there is something hidden in it." Dai Duxing said: "Regardless of whether there are other secrets in it or not, this incident is finally a thing of the past. The old man brought up the old incident today just to let Xiangshuai have a little understanding of the situation in the 'Shenshui Palace'." He smiled, and said again: "Since Wu Hua wrote that secret book for me, the thoughts recorded must be true. Therefore, according to the old man's speculation, the residence of the Lord of the Yin Palace is probably at the bottom of the mountainside, and it must be true. It's near the pool, so she can hear Wuhua when she is preaching." At this moment, both of them stood up suddenly, with the wind rustling outside their clothes, one of them smiled and said: "There is wine and food, but you don't come to me, Old Senior Dai is favoring one over the other, right?" It was naturally Hu Tiehua who broke in with laughter, but he also felt that now was not the time to drink, because he was in a hurry to talk now. When Chu Liuxiang heard what happened just now, he couldn't help touching his nose again. When he felt very happy or unhappy, he couldn't help touching his nose. Hu Tiehua said: "You don't need to touch your nose, and you don't need to worry about Rongrong, she is much more capable than you imagined." Chu Liuxiang pondered and said: "Listen to you, the six people who died are not the first-rate characters in the arena, they just made a big deal occasionally." Dai Duxing hurriedly said: "That's right, those six people are not first-class masters, and the old man didn't come here specially, he just bumped into them here." Hu Tiehua said with a smile: "Such a role is naturally not worthy of seniors' work. Seniors don't need to explain, we can see it." Chu Liuxiang said: "In this way, Gong Nanyan's departure from the valley was definitely not to deal with them. It was just that the six people had bad luck and met her by chance." Dai Duxing said, "How can you see that?" Hu Tiehua laughed loudly and said: "You can know the elegant meaning by hearing the stringed songs, can't the senior not hear his sub-strings?" Dai Duxing smiled, and Hu Tiehua continued: "Gong Nanyan was the one who went to find Chu Liuxiang last time. Since Yin Ji sent her to look for the dignified Chu Xiangshuai, it can be seen that she must be one of the top characters in the 'Shenshui Palace'. But those six people are nothing more than nobody in the arena, and they are not worthy of her labor." Chu Liuxiang glared at him, and said: "I found that you talk too much today, but drink too little wine." Dai Duxing said: "But what I said is not wrong. The people sent by the 'Shenshui Palace' to find Chu Xiangshuai must have a high status in the palace, and they will never go out of the valley specially for those six people." Hu Tiehua said: "So, Gong Nanyan came out of the valley this time to deal with Chu Liuxiang? But how do they know that Chu Liuxiang has arrived here?" Chu Liuxiang pondered, but Dai Duxing had already packed all the food and wine on the table into a sack, extinguished the candle, and said in a deep voice: "The lonely lamp in the dark night is really too eye-catching. Brother Hu can find it here, but others can't." If we can find it, let's go to another place to drink!" Just as Chu Liuxiang turned around and walked to the door, she suddenly stopped. Hu Tiehua, who was standing by the window, only saw two figures looming in the night after a long while. These two people are surprisingly brisk, especially the shorter one on the left. Chu Liuxiang and Dai Duxing are both first-class masters. It can be seen at a glance that this person not only has extremely high lightness kung fu, but also can always maintain An elegant and calm posture, as if dancing with the silent rhythm in the evening wind. Hu Tiehua looked at Dai Duxing, then at Chu Liuxiang, and couldn't help sighing.He is usually very proud of his qinggong, but tonight, everyone he met had qinggong much higher than him, as if all the qinggong masters in the world had flocked to this small town. Dai Duxing made a gesture quietly, and the three of them had all retreated from the window on the other side, and outside the window was an earth pit with dense grass and trees. They didn't go far, but hid themselves in the shadows of the grass and trees. The three of them were secretly guessing: Who are these two people?Why did it come? They were determined to wait and see. Those two people not only came straight to this school, but also seemed to have been here more than once, and they were very familiar with the surrounding terrain. They wandered outside for a while, then walked into the school.As soon as the shorter person stepped over the threshold, he stopped and said in a deep voice, "Why isn't this door closed?" Another person smiled and said, "The children are eager to get home from school earlier, how can they remember to close the door?" The man pondered, and said: "But it is Mr. Wang who is teaching here. I know that this man is a meticulous and old-fashioned person. He has always been very cautious in doing things. How could..." A taller man interrupted him with a smile, and said: "I'm afraid he will be confused by the children's noise. Besides, it doesn't matter if the door is closed or not. Anyway, there is nothing here that is worthy of labor."
