Chapter 9 Chapter Nine Doubtful

From spring to summer, the sun is shining brightly and scorching hot. Ruan Wei practiced kung fu every day regardless of the scorching sun, and Mr. Xiao was on the sidelines to supervise him earnestly. One was dedicated in learning and the other was enthusiastic in teaching. ．Hidden weapons, learned every drop. One morning, when Third Master Xiao saw Ruan Wei, he immediately said: "Grandpa has learned all the hidden weapons of lightness kung fu. From now on, we will study the technique of disguise and the technique of the strange phalanx." Ruan Wei has read the book of formations since he was a child, and what Xiao Sanye has learned in the past 18 years, within a few days, Ruan Wei understood all of them.

As for disguise, talent is more important. For example, it is easy to pretend to be an old man, but if you don't have a genius to imitate the movement and voice of an old man, you can't do it. Otherwise, you can only learn how to make up. Experts It was immediately obvious that it was of no use. Xiao Sanye's disguise technique is unparalleled in the world, he has such a unique talent, but Ruan Wei's talent in this area is no less than him. Ruan Wei has read a lot of miscellaneous books since he was a child, and his training is eccentric. As long as he learns it, he can learn it perfectly.

In less than half a month, Mr. Xiao had nothing to teach him in these two aspects. On this day, Mr. Xiao happily walked to the back garden and said to Ruan Wei, "I found it! I found it!" Ruan Wei said: "Grandpa, what did you find?" Mr. Xiao said: "I sent a few people from the store to search door-to-door in Jinling every day, and they actually asked about Zhong Jing." Ruan Wei said: "Really!" Mr. Xiao said: "Probably not wrong, that Zhong Jing also lost his arm." Ruan Wei asked, "Where is it in Jinling?" Xiao Sanye said: "Beside the Yuhua Terrace outside the Jubao Gate..." Suddenly he showed confusion and said: "It's very strange. According to inquiries, the neighbors said that Zhong Jing hasn't been back for three years."

Ruan Wei said anxiously: "What? That..." Mr. Xiao said: "According to what you said, he loves his wife very much. No matter how much delay he takes after saving Mr. Jian, he should definitely go back within three years. There is no reason not to go back, unless..." Ruan Wei said, "Unless what?" Mr. Xiao sighed: "Unless he is in an accident and can no longer go back, otherwise he will never abandon his beloved wife." Mr. Xiao knew Zhong Jing from Ruan Wei's detailed three-year art study, he judged people's hearts with his own heart, and believed that the love between husband and wife in the world is inseparable by any obstacle.

Ruan Wei Zhuang said: "Grandpa, Wei Er wants to find out in person, as long as Uncle Zhong is not dead, Wei Er must tell him about the date of the deaf-mute tiger monk." Mr. Xiao nodded and praised: "A man should be loyal to others. The deaf-mute tiger monk still has more than a year to make an appointment with Mr. Jian. It will definitely be achieved." Ruan Wei nana said: "Then...then..." The third master Xiao smiled kindly: "There is always a banquet in the world. Grandpa is very relieved that you will go to the rivers and lakes to practice. Grandpa has lived here for eighteen years. Although he is not in good health recently, you don't have to worry about it."

Ruan Wei said: "Then Wei Er tomorrow..." Xiao Sanye said: "Don't wait for tomorrow, you have already practiced my kung fu, you should go today, as for Grandpa's hatred, wait until you have been in the rivers and lakes for a while, and you have experience in fighting the enemy before you go. Don't be in a hurry, Grandpa has endured hatred for eighteen years, so it doesn't matter if he endures it for a few more years." Ruan Wei obeyed Xiao Sanye's order, went back to his room, packed his luggage, and walked out with the flying dragon sword. Xiao Sanye pointed to the Flying Dragon Sword and said: "This Flying Dragon Sword is the favorite weapon of Gongsun Daxia. Back then, Gongsun Qiujian defeated many powerful enemies with this sword. How could it be passed into your hands?"

Ruan Wei respectfully told the story of getting the sword from Fan Zhongping and being poisoned by the Tiandu Sect. Third Master Xiao said with a smile: "In this way, Gongsun Qiujian's daughter is very kind to you, you must not disappoint her." Ruan Wei opened his mouth to say that Gongsun Lan's hypocrisy was to obtain his own Tianlong sword spectrum. However, Third Master Xiao immediately said: "The power of the Tiandu Sect is nothing short of despicable, you must be very careful in the future." Mr. Xiao thought for a while, and then said: "You are young, and carrying such a precious sword with you will make people in the martial arts covet it. Although you are not afraid, you will cause trouble. Why don't you pretend to be older, and ordinary people in the martial arts world will not be afraid of it. Don't dare to provoke me lightly."

Ruan Wei is already an expert in this way, and after a while he pretends to be a young swordsman around twenty-five years old. Third Master Xiao looked at it carefully, and smiled triumphantly: "In this way, people will think you are an old Jianghu, and they will not dare to offend you easily. Even if the Tiandu Sect wants to plot against you, they will not be able to recognize you." Ruan Wei bid farewell to Mr. Xiao. Before leaving, Mr. Xiao warned: "You must not go to Liuzhou easily to avenge your grandma. That old thief is really a mysterious figure. Grandpa has not found out his identity so far. I don't even know your name, if you want to go, you must be very proficient in martial arts, succeed in one fell swoop, kill the old thief, and bring back your grandmother's bones."

After Ruan Wei and Mr. Xiao said goodbye, they walked all the way to Jubaomen. When they came to Jubaomen, they saw a moat about twenty feet wide outside the city. You must know that Jinling is the largest city in the world, and the width of its moat is also The crown of the cities. There is only one bamboo bridge on the moat, so the gate is not a traffic channel, so no bridge has been built, and it is very inconvenient to travel. Ruan Wei saw that the ferry on the river was busy, and there were several teahouses near the city gate. Because there were many pedestrians coming and going, the business was good, so he wandered into one of them.

The inside of the teahouse is very spacious, Ruan Wei chose a relatively secluded place to sit down, after the tea master made the tea, Ruan Wei sipped the tea casually, while looking at the scenery on the river leisurely. Suddenly, a voice came from behind saying: "Brother Tao, will the leader come today?" A loud voice said: "Not necessarily. The last time the gang leader went back, he said that our whereabouts should be kept secret, so as not to be discovered by the enemy. Go today, everyone should pay attention." Just listen to Nuo Nuo, obviously there are several people under the command of Brother Tao.

Then he said: "As far as my little brother is concerned, the lackeys of Tianzhengjiao have been following us for a long time. That time it was not our leader who went there, but they followed there. This time it must be inevitable." Brother Tao said: "That's true, we have to be more secretive, and on the other hand, secretly pay attention to the actions of the enemy. If one is careless and hurts the friends of the gang leader, then it will be against the trust of the gang leader." Ruan Wei thought to himself: "Their opponent is Tian Zhengjiao, it seems that the leader of the Justice Gang must have appeared here! I wonder if something important happened?" After a moment of silence, Brother Tao suddenly said again: "The boat is empty! Let's go." There was a sound of tables and chairs, and several people walked out of a quiet room behind Ruan Wei. In order to see the people in the room clearly, Ruan Wei pretended to hear the alarm and turned around to look around. I saw a strong man with a square face and a long body walking out first, dressed in a white warrior uniform with three small flowers embroidered on his chest. Ruan Wei and Mr. Xiao have been together for several months, and know a lot of anecdotes about the world, especially the developments in the world in recent years, Mr. Xiao even told them in detail. Behind the square-faced burly man were four white-clothed warriors, each with two small flowers embroidered on their chests, Ruan Wei secretly said: "If it is the Sanhua and Erhua warriors from the Justice Gang, then the Sanhua warrior must be Brother Tao .” The five white-clothed warriors suddenly saw a strange young swordsman sitting in front of the door, their expressions suddenly changed, and they stopped. Ruan Wei remained motionless, looking ahead indifferently. You must know that this teahouse is very spacious, and everyone who comes in has to wait for the ferry and sit in the outer head, but there are many empty seats in the outer head, and Ruan Wei does not sit, but sits in a secluded seat in front of the quiet room in the inner head. People look suspicious. An Erhua warrior, with a violent personality, blurted out, "My friend is sitting here, eavesdropping on what my brothers are saying, what is the purpose?" Ruan Wei knew that the enemy would inevitably be suspicious, so he just smiled and didn't want to argue. Brother Tao immediately waved his hand to stop the Erhua warrior's impulse, and said with a smile: "Brother, let's go, he likes to be quiet, no wonder." He cupped his fists to Ruan Weiwei to apologize, and led the way. Ruan Wei smiled even more, and secretly said: "As expected of the Justice Gang, they have clear principles and do not bully others." When they disappeared without a trace, Ruan Wei saw that the boat was empty, so he slowly boarded the boat and crossed the river. Jinling Yuhua Terrace is a special scenic spot, and the platform is full of patterned stones, which are crystal clear and lovely. There are several villages near Yuhuatai. Every family in the Zhuang Nei farms. They work at sunrise and live in daily life. They have enough food and clothing and are carefree. Ruan Wei found the village where Zhong Jing lived, and saw a small courtyard-style building with towering trees in the courtyard. There were no neighbors nearby, and the nearest neighbors were tens of feet away. Ruan Wei suddenly saw a few blue-clothed men wandering in front of the courtyard, ghostly and respectful, and he knew at a glance that they had no good intentions for Zhong Jing's family. The courtyard door of the small building was closed, and Ruan Wei was thinking about how to word his visit, when the courtyard door suddenly opened, and a flower shadow flashed out, the man in blue didn't expect someone to come out like this, and was anxious to avoid it. The figure in the shadow of a flower flew in front of the man in blue like a bird, and shouted coquettishly, "Stop!" There were four people in blue clothes, but seeing only one person, they became more courageous, they all stopped and stood proudly. The Huaying man was a little girl about thirteen years old, holding a small sword in her hand, pointing her finger and scolding: "I don't think you are good people, you stare at other people's doors all day long, do you want to steal something?" An older man in blue smiled and said, "Little pump girl, don't swear at others." Aunt Huayi said coquettishly, "I won't scold good people, but I will scold bad people." A man in blue pulled out a hook-shaped weapon, and shouted, "Little girl wants to die!" That majestic burly man cut off the head of the flowered girl with a hook without any shame. The girl in the flower dress was not afraid. Seeing the hook cut in front of her eyes, her figure flashed. The man in blue slashed at the sky with a hook, and suddenly saw a cold light stabbing at his chest, in horror, he rolled on his back and dodged on the ground. Hooking is the most taboo to use chopping. The man in blue bullied the other party to be young, suffered a big loss, and made himself into a mess. In a rage, he turned over and got up, so he launched a vigorous hooking technique and attacked the girl in flower clothes. I want to save face in front of my peers. The girl in the flower dress smiled coquettishly, as if she was very happy to fight with others. I saw that she didn't hold the sword, and jumped lightly and nimbly in the gap of the blue-clothed man's hook. After dozens of moves, the blue-clothed man not only didn't hurt the flowery girl at all, but was sometimes frightened by the flowery girl's kicks and slaps, so he hurriedly parried. In addition, the three blue-clothed men who were watching the battle were shocked when they saw this. They didn't expect that the flower-clothed girl was so powerful. Suddenly two gongs sounded, the man in blue was startled, and hastily put away his weapon. As soon as the hooked man in blue stopped, he was kicked down by the girl in flower clothes, but he got up immediately. I saw a purple shadow flashing in the bamboo forest ahead, and the four men in blue chased after them, and disappeared after a while. Ruan Wei watched from the sidelines, at first he was far away and hid his body, but later he saw the girl in the flower dress fight with the man in the blue dress, fearing that the girl in the flower dress would lose something, he got closer and closer, at this time he was only three feet away from her.At that moment, he approached the girl in the flower dress again. The girl in the flower dress couldn't see the man in blue, so she thought to herself, "Why did they retreat as soon as they heard the gong?" She turned around while thinking, and suddenly saw Ruan Wei approaching with a sword behind his back, shaking the sword in his hand, and shouted: "Why? Still not convinced!" Ruan Wei shook his hand and said, "Miss misunderstood." The girl in the flower dress said in a voice like a silver bell: "I don't misunderstand you? You stare at other people's doors all day long, sneaking around, you must be not good people." Ruan Wei said seriously: "The girl is Uncle Zhong's daughter!" The girl in the flower dress put away her sword and said with a smile, "Ah! You are my father's friend, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ruan Wei thought: "She looks more like Uncle Zhong when she smiles." The Huayi girl said again: "If this elder brother wants to find my father, you will be disappointed." Ruan Wei smiled and said, "I'm here to find your father." The girl in Hua Yi said anxiously: "But my father was not at home three years ago, how did you find it?" Ruan Wei said: "My lord, Ruan Wei, please inform the Lingtang that I met your father three years ago in southern Anhui, and this time I came here to inform you of the situation so that we can study your father's whereabouts." The girl in the flower dress said happily, "That... that... that's great, I'll go and tell Mom..." She ran to the gate of the courtyard, turned back suddenly, and said with a coquettish smile, "Little sister Zhong Jie, Brother Ruan, wait a moment..." After finishing speaking, he hurried into the courtyard gate. Ruan Wei smiled and thought, "Uncle Zhong has such a lovely family, why doesn't he come back?" He stopped and stood in front of the courtyard, he couldn't help looking at the surrounding scenery, he saw white shadows flickering behind a few trees on the left, he had very good eyesight, and at a glance, he saw that it was Brother Tao and his brothers he met at Jubao Gate. He immediately changed his mind and thought: "The friend they are referring to is the home of Uncle Zhong. No wonder the people from Tianzhengjiao are watching in front of the door. The righteous gang leader came here. Naturally, he wanted to find out, but he didn't know the righteous gang leader. Why did you come here?" Zhong Jie ran out and called, "Brother Ruan, please come in, grandma is waiting for you in the hall." Ruan Wei slightly adjusted his clothes, followed Zhong Jie, walked across a small garden bank, and stepped into the hall. This is a quiet living room with elegant furnishings. There are seats and coffee tables in the center of the room. At this time, a woman in her forties and a young woman in her twenties are sitting. The young woman was dressed in a white long gown, her hair piled high, she was graceful and gorgeous, she was holding a white jade porcelain cup in her hand, she lowered her head slightly, when she heard footsteps, she immediately raised her head to look around. Suddenly, her whole body was startled, her hands trembled, and there was a "crash", and the exquisite teacup fell to pieces. Wearing a brown thin shirt.The middle-aged woman with her hair in a bun cast a puzzled look at the young woman. However, when she turned her head and saw Ruan Wei, she exclaimed, and it took her a long time to calm down. The middle-aged woman stared at Ruan Wei carefully, and whispered in her mouth: "It's too similar...too similar..." The young woman said: "Mom!" The middle-aged woman laughed "Yeah" and said, "I lost my composure! I lost my composure!" It made Zhong Jie puzzled, stayed there for a long time, and then introduced: "Grandma, Mom, this is Brother Ruan who is looking for Dad." The young woman scolded softly: "Jie'er, don't be rude, this gentleman is enough to be your uncle, why call him big brother!" It turned out that Ruan Weiye had already disguised himself as a young man in his twenties, not much younger than the young woman. Ruan Wei knew that he was only four years older than Zhong Jie, so he could take advantage of others and become an uncle, so he hurriedly said: "No! No! I'm only old enough to be this little sister Zhong's big brother." But he forgot to say this sentence, a big omission disguised identity. Seeing Ruan Wei's embarrassment, Zhong Jie laughed and said, "If you want to be my uncle, I won't call you!" The middle-aged woman smiled expensively and said: "It's outrageous, Xiaojie, don't mess around." Zhong Jie stuck out her little tongue, pretending to be serious and said: "Uncle Ruan is polite, this is my little girl's grandmother, and this is my mother." Ruan Wei seemed to be unable to be an elder, and said in panic, "How dare I be equal to Uncle Zhong, it's a sin! A sin!" Zhong Jie giggled and said, "Grandma, what do you think he doesn't want to be Xiao Jie's uncle!" The middle-aged woman said: "Since this is the case, we have no choice but to climb up." So Ruan Wei visited the middle-aged woman and the young woman with the courtesy of a junior. This middle-aged woman is Sun Min, the widow of Sanxiang hero Ling Beixiu, and the young woman is her only daughter Ling Lin. After Ruan Wei sat down, the two maids came forward to offer refreshments and swept away the broken cups on the floor. Sun Min first opened his mouth and asked, "I wonder when sir will see Zhong Jing?" Ruan Wei said: "Three years ago, this junior met Uncle Zhong three times, and the last time was on Mount Jiuhua." Sun Minyi said: "Jiuhua Mountain? What is Jing'er doing there?" It was obvious that she was asking Ling Lin what she said, but Ling Lin sat there thinking about it, but she didn't hear the middle-aged woman's question. Sun Min coughed lightly and called out, "Lin'er!" Zhong Jie pushed her mother aside and said, "Mom, grandma is calling you." Ling Lin looked startled, but Sun Min turned to Ruan Wei and said, "Mister, do you know why he wants to go to Mount Jiuhua?" Ruan Wei said: "Because Uncle Zhong wants to find Mr. Jian, the senior, and Mr. Jian is fighting a duel on Mount Jiuhua." Sun Minxi said: "Wouldn't you expect Jing'er to actually find Mr. Jian?" She was talking to herself. Ling Lin interjected: "Whoever dares to duel with Master Jian is too self-reliant." The meaning in the words is very reserved for Mr. Jian's ability. Ruan Wei's face changed slightly and he said: "Mr. Jian was seriously injured in that duel!" In his heart, he was partial to the deaf-mute tiger monk, but he didn't know how injured Mr. Jian was!But Mr. Xiangjian was seriously injured, and the deaf-mute tiger monk was not seriously injured, which means that the deaf-mute tiger monk defeated Mr. Jian. Sun Min turned pale and said, "What? Mr. Jian...he...he...was seriously injured..." Ling Lin didn't believe it: "How could Master Jian lose to others, it's absolutely impossible!" Ruan Wei immediately said: "It's true that he was seriously injured, Uncle Zhong carried him down the mountain afterwards." Ling Lin said: "It's even more impossible. No matter how seriously Master Jian is injured, Zhong Jing doesn't need to carry him down the mountain." Ruan Wei said inwardly, "It's really unreasonable for you not to worry about your husband's disappearance, but to argue pointlessly for your master..." Zhang Min's voice trembled: "Where did Jing'er go after carrying Mr. Sword on her back!" Ruan Wei said: "I don't know about this junior, I haven't seen Uncle Zhong since then." Sun Min's voice trembled even more: "Jing'er hasn't returned for three years, could it be... could it be that Mr. Jian was killed together with him..." Ling Lin said: "Mom, don't think wildly. Master Jian's skills are related to good fortune. How could a generation of gods be easily defeated by others, and how could they have been plotted by others?" Ruan Wei saw that Ling Lin didn't care about her husband's life or death, and was still arguing about something she didn't know, and felt disgusted with her. Zhong Jie suddenly said: "Mom! There is a person standing at the door." The three people in the room are not weak in martial arts, they didn't hear a single person coming to the door, they all looked in amazement.Sun Min exclaimed in great surprise: "Mr. Jian..." Ling Lin shouted sharply: "It's Master Jian!" Ruan Wei thought: "Since Mr. Jian has recovered, he should know about Uncle Zhong's life..."
