Chapter 211 Touring the River Cliff

Seeing that her eyes were sincere, He Pingjiang untied Wei Xiaopeng's acupoints, but did not untied the iron chains that bound them. In this way, the two of them would still not threaten them. Then, He Pingjiang said coldly: "You should say it now." Wei Xiaopeng's acupoints were untied, and sighed a long time ago, saying, "I would like to tell you the name of the hero?" He Pingjiang said lightly: "It's okay to tell you. I am He Pingjiang, the lonely old man in Miluo." When the two heard it, they looked at each other and had never heard of such a person in the martial arts world. He Pingjiang smiled faintly and said, "You won't know if you say it. I never show up in the martial arts world, so there are very few people who know my name." The Wei brothers and sisters said "Oh".

Wei Xiaopeng knew that he had no hope of catching treasures, so he could only spread the news so that everyone in the world would come to grab the treasures. He might be able to gain some benefits in the chaos. So he told the secret of the folding fan landscape painting and told the story of a few people on the mountain.

He Pingjiang asked, "When did this happen?" Wei Xiaopeng said, "Just happened. We escaped from the mountain and were caught by Yang Zhonglin. We were detained here. Unexpectedly, we met He Daxia to come to save us. We were very grateful." He Pingjiang said, "That means, the only four of us who know the secret of the treasure in front of us?" Wei Xiaopeng pondered carefully and said, "No, there are seven people in total. Three people on the mountain, Yang Zhonglin counts one, three of us, there are seven people in total." He Pingjianglang said, "That's great." Then, he let the Wei brothers and sisters leave.

In fact, of course, he told Guo Rong to let them go. But the actual situation was that He Pingjiang poked the eyes of the Wei brothers and sisters blinded them, cut off their tongues so that they could not speak, and then pinched the tendons of the two of them and couldn't write. In this way, they put them in a canoe and went down the river and didn't know where to drift to the shore. Because in this way, even if they walked into the river and lake, they could not spread the news of the treasure. Of course, he would not tell Guo Rong about his vicious means. After letting the Wei brothers and sisters go, he still set a trap in the cave.

If Yang Zhonglin came back, as long as he stepped into the cave, his feet would be clamped by iron pliers placed on the ground. He hid in the dark and would use a killer move to kill Yang Zhonglin. Unfortunately, Yang Zhonglin never thought of letting the Wei brothers and sisters go there, and he planned to let them slowly starve to death, so he did not go back after going down the mountain. He Pingjiang saw Yang Zhonglin rowing on the river to check the terrain and then leave, and he was puzzled. If he hadn't been afraid of the other party's martial arts skills, he would have forced him to take it down and ask what happened. As for why Yang Zhonglin left, He Pingjiang could not think of the reason.

After hearing him, Guo Rong first asked, "Senior, are the grandfathers and grandchildren in this room here?" As he said that, he went into the house to check. After walking around, he saw that the house was empty, and many useful little things had been moved, leaving only empty beds, tables and chairs, etc. that could not be moved easily. Guo Rong understood that this was a sign of the grandfathers and grandchildren moving away, which made him feel at ease. It seemed that he was moving to the other side to live with Maoer's uncle.

He Pingjiang asked, "Have anyone lived here before? But he is also a person who is looking at the treasure here?" Guo Rong smiled and said, "Senior, not everyone regards treasures as life. I sneer at the treasures. If it weren't for the master... I'm afraid that Lingmei and I had moved out of here to a quiet place to enjoy the life of a paradise." He Pingjiang said happily: "Rong'er, your master must be for the treasures. Isn't it right?" Guo Rong didn't expect that he could guess and could only sigh and said, "That's right. Master is indeed for the treasures, but what if I get the treasure map, I still can't understand the secrets and cannot find the treasures at all." When He Pingjiang asked the reason, Guo Rong put the treasure map on the folding fan, and the immortals of Tianmen and Yang Zhonglin could not understand where the treasures were.

After hearing this, He Pingjiang pondered for a moment and murmured, "I think Yang Zhonglin is not that simple." Guo Rong asked in surprise, "How do you say this?" He Pingjiang smiled and said, "Yang Zhonglin might have already adjusted the folding fan. Rong'er, have you been staring at Yang Zhonglin's hand holding the folding fan?" Guo Rong recalled, and felt that there seemed to be a fraud in it, and murmured, "No, we haven't been staring at his hand holding the folding fan. Although we were always staring at it at the beginning, when we talked about Zhibeixing, everyone's attention was diverted."

After hearing this, He Pingjiang knew that he was completely guessing, and couldn't help but smile proudly: "That's it. Yang Zhonglin dared to go up the mountain to find you, and he would definitely not have gone in a hurry and returned in a hurry. He must have prepared. His preparations were nothing more than two. One was to prepare paper and pen, and immediately draw the picture he saw after going down the mountain. The other was to prepare a folding fan with the same appearance and adjust the bag in the middle. Rong'er, is there any difference in the appearance of the folding fan?" Guo Rong shook his head and said, "The appearance of the folding fan is nothing special. Don't, the whole body is white." He Pingjiang said: "In this way, then adjusting the bag is the best choice. Although it is not impossible to draw a picture based on memory, it is difficult for us martial arts people to have such skills, and we can only draw the most images, but we may ignore the details. You must know that details are the key to finding the treasure. Therefore, the best choice is to adjust the bag." Guo Rong remembered Yang Zhonglin pointing to the sky and said the matter of Douglassing the North Star, and he vaguely felt that it was indeed a move to adjust the bag.

He Pingjiang saw the change of Guo Rong's face, and had already guessed the hidden truth. He sighed: "I originally wanted to borrow the folding fan of Master Ling to take a look. Now it seems that even if I can borrow it, it will be just a blank broken fan. What's the use of borrowing it?" As he said, he sighed repeatedly. It seemed that his wishful thinking was about to fail again. Guo Rong gradually figured it out and asked: "I didn't expect Yang Zhonglin to be so cunning. Senior, what do you think you should do now? "He Pingjiang looked at Guo Rong proudly and said with a smile: "If you are a smart person, don't say it before your master finds that the folding fan has been transferred. Anyway, your master is also someone else's plan to transfer the fan away from the mountain, and the blame is not on you. Just pretend to be nothing." Guo Rong nodded with a "oh". Although he felt that this was inappropriate and suspected of cheating the master, he thought that what He Pingjiang said was reasonable, so he planned to do what he said.

He Pingjiang looked at Guo Rong and continued to ask, "Rong'er, have you ever seen that painting?" Guo Rong nodded and said, "I have seen it, what is painted is the scene in front of me." He Pingjiang said happily, "It's so great. I'll row the boat, let's go to the river to visit, you point out what scenes there are in the painting." Guo Rong felt embarrassed and said, "Senior, why do you want to find that treasure? I think that treasure is a deceptive thing, something that does not exist at all. Otherwise, with the master's wisdom, I have lived here for so long and seen that painting, why can't I find it?" He Pingjiang said, "Although your master is wise, why haven't you seen through Yang Zhonglin's way of adjusting the folding fan? Therefore, people have weaknesses and strengths. Your master's strengths are not in the painting. Just give me some advice, but I don't want you. OK?" Guo Rong was soft-hearted and thanked the other party to be kind to him, so he agreed.

Then, He Pingjiang took Guo Rong to the riverside, and a small boat was docking on the shore. The two jumped onto the boat, He Pingjiang rowed and headed directly opposite Guanyin Cliff. Guo Rong saw the boat breaking through the waves, causing ripples, and his thoughts fluctuated in his heart.

The boat slowly came to Guanyin Cliff, and the river passed through the foot of the mountain. The boat slowly stopped and rippled with the waves. He Pingjiang asked, "Rong'er, is this scene in the painting?" Guo Rong looked up and saw that the mountain, the water, the forest, and the Guanyin Temple were almost exactly the same as those in the painting. Guo Rong murmured, "That's right, it's here. Why hasn't there changed at all for hundreds of years?" He Pingjiang was surprised and happy. Looking up, the scenery in front of him was as wonderful as a gallery. But he was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery, and he was just trying to find out the special things in the painting.

After watching for a while, He Pingjiang found that the boat was washed down by flowing water, which was no longer the position facing Guanyin Cliff, so he immediately rowed the boat back to its original position. He Pingjiang asked one by one, what was the difference between what he saw and what was in the painting. Guo Rong replied: "There is almost no difference in the painting except that it is all black." After watching for a while, he still couldn't see any tricks. He Pingjiang suddenly understood: Why did Yang Zhonglin leave? Because he couldn't find the tricks, so he went to rescue soldiers! Oh no! Yang Zhonglin secretly colluded with the King of Chu! Thinking of this, he murmured: "How can we find out the place of the treasure before they arrived?" Guo Rong said: "Senior, I have already said that the so-called treasures are just legends, and they are all lies." He Pingjiang ignored it and still looked dazed.

After watching for a while, He Pingjiang docked the boat on the shore and went ashore with Guo Rong to check. He climbed over the cliff and worshiped Guanyin Temple, but he found nothing. When he came to the sword broke stone, He Pingjiang murmured: "I don't know how many heroes have been here, but I can't find the entrance to bury the treasure. Why is this?" He stared at Jian Chushi in a daze and asked blankly: "Rong'er, do you know why this stone is here? How was it named 'Sword Broken Stone'?" Guo Rong shook his head blankly and said: "I really don't know." He Pingjiang sighed while watching. There was no empty place at the tentacles, and it can be seen that the treasure was not so easy to find.

The two of them investigated again, and He Pingjiang stopped and said, "Rong'er, okay, let's go back." As they said, the two returned to the landing place, and returned to the row of houses. He Pingjiang said, "Go back quickly, don't mention seeing me." Guo Rong agreed with a "hmm" and stared at He Pingjiang, but was reluctant to leave. He Pingjiang asked in surprise, "What else is there?" Guo Rong said, "Senior, you said Pan Rongrong was my biological mother before, is it true or false?" He Pingjiang smiled and said, "Silly boy, senior must be teasing you. As for the authenticity, only Pan Rongrong herself knows it. Will you know it when you see her directly?" After hearing this, Guo Rong knew that he would not tell the truth no matter what, or did not know the authenticity at all, so he had to say goodbye to him and go back to the mountain.

Back in the attic, the Tianmen Immortal looked at Guo Rong and asked, "Rong'er, where have you been? Why did you come back so long?" Guo Rong said, "Master, I went around carefully and found no outsiders." The Tianmen Immortal nodded slightly and said, "The war is coming, and it is often so peaceful. Rong'er, Ling'er, you go and design traps and institutions according to the plan of your master in the afternoon, and entertain friends who have come from afar." Guo Rong looked at his master and wanted to say a lot, about folding fans and about his biological mother. But he didn't say anything.

So, Guo Rong and Zeng Ling went out to arrange some. Some people designed hidden arrows, some designed traps, and large quantities of gunpowder bullets were prepared. After everything was arranged, the immortal Tianmen asked Guo Rong and Zeng Ling to take turns to guard a large stone on the mountain. This stone just stood on the top of the mountain, and sitting on it allows you to see all the changes in front of Guanyin Cliff. The immortal Tianmen named this stone "Lanko Shi", which means that you can see all the bandits who want to come to seize treasures.

In the evening, Guo Rong sat on Lan Kou Shi and felt bored, so he started to exercise his skills cross-legged. Over the past few days, Guo Rong practiced the Seven Star Mantra and secretly practiced the corpse-rottening method, and felt that his skills had improved greatly. At this time, he practiced the two internal skills again, and felt that his skills had gradually been combined together, and he felt that his skills had increased greatly.

In the middle of the night, a sound of horse hooves suddenly woke Guo Rong up. He looked up, but under the stars, a fast horse could be seen vaguely coming from the river to the mountain. He was shocked: If you break into the designed trap, wouldn’t it be revealed in advance? Thinking of this, you wouldn’t it be possible to get the trap he had worked hard to break, and you also wanted to see who the visitor was, and immediately use your light skills to run down the mountain.

After going down the mountain, there was no sound of horse hooves. Guo Rong was surprised: Where did you go? He clearly saw rushing towards the mountain, why didn’t he come? He immediately used his light skills to run towards the riverside.

When he was about to reach the riverside, he heard the sound of weapons colliding from the left. He looked up and saw that the sound seemed to be coming from the row of houses. He thought to himself: Could it be that man fighting with Senior He? Thinking of this, he didn't know who the other party was, nor whether He Pingjiang was in danger, so he hurried over to see what was going on.

When they came close, they saw two people flying and fighting tightly in the open space in front of the house. One used a sword and the other used a Xiao, and their moves were all clever and elegant. Guo Rong knew that the man who used the sword was obviously the one who was just riding his horse. When he ran to the close, he vaguely felt that the figure of the man who was standing in front of the two was a little familiar. After he came to stand in front of the two, Guo Rong could see clearly that the man who was fighting with He Pingjiang was a woman, Tang Su. Guo Rong was shocked and immediately shouted: "Senior He, please stop! Female Tang, please stop!" When the two heard his voice, they stepped back and stood still.

When He Pingjiang saw that it was Guo Rong, he pointed at Tang Su with Xiao and exclaimed: "Rong'er, do you recognize her?" Guo Rong responded with a "hmm", then jumped to Tang Su, and said in surprise: "Woman Tang, why did you come here?" Tang Su glared at him and said angrily: "Don't you call me sister?" Guo Rong was stunned: "Sister Tang, are you here looking for me?" Tang Su smiled and said: "It's not Sister Tang, but you want to call 'Sister'. Silly boy!" Guo Rong was stunned and asked in surprise: "Sister, what happened?" He Pingjiang came over and said in surprise: "Rong'er, do you really know each other?" Guo Rong then smiled and introduced the two to each other.

He Pingjiang smiled and said, "It turns out that he is Rong'er's friend, or the third leader of Wuyishan. He is so respectful!" Tang Su said lightly, "The senior's martial arts are so powerful that I admire me." He Pingjiang invited the two of them into the house and then chatted. He brought tea and poured them on the two of them, and said, "I thought it was someone, it turned out to be his own family. I really don't know each other without fighting!" Guo Rong knew in his heart that He Pingjiang must have thought he was here to seize the treasure, so he wanted to stop him halfway and get rid of an opponent for himself. Unexpectedly, this opponent was not easy to get rid of, and he was a descendant of a famous family, and he was also Guo Rong's friend. He was immediately thinking about the purpose of this person coming and how to deal with it.

Guo Rong asked, "Sister, how could you find this place?" Tang Su sighed and said, "It's really not easy to find you. From Wuyi Mountain to the capital, we ran all the way. Unexpectedly, we were in vain." Guo Rong became embarrassed and said, "I have left the capital long ago." Tang Su said, "You are not enough to shock my sister. Even more surprising things are still behind." Guo Rong asked in surprise: "What's the matter?" Tang Su said, "Zhang Juzheng is dead, Zhang's house was scouted, Zhang's eldest son hanged himself, and the rest of the people were all sent to the border. Do you know?" Guo Rong exclaimed "Ah" and looked at Tang Su in a daze, unable to speak for a while. In his heart, he could not predict such a change would happen! He was speechless for a moment and stayed there.

After a long time, Guo Rong murmured, "Sister, what happened? Let me tell you carefully?" Tang Su said, "I don't know what happened. After arriving in the capital, I saw Shangyi Mansion and the people were gone, leaving only a few maids, so I went to the theater to find Master Cao. I asked Master Cao and the others to tell me." As she said, she told the story of the changes in the capital that she knew. As for Huang Fang, Li Minxing and others, she didn't know anything. He Pingjiang heard that his beloved daughter had been with Li Minxing, but now she didn't know where to go, so she could only sigh.

After hearing this, Guo Rong felt a sharp pain in his heart. He remembered Zhang Juzheng's expression of worrying about the country and the people, Zhang Jianxiu's smart and capable style, and their various kindnesses to him, he couldn't help but whistle to the sky, his voice was desolate, he stamped his feet and beat his chest, and said viciously: "I want to go back to the capital and kill Na Tuada to avenge Lord Zhang!" Seeing this, He Pingjiang and Tang Su hurriedly pulled him down. He Pingjiang said: "Rong'er, a person cannot be resurrected, and if you want to take revenge, you have to make a long-term plan." Guo Rong's mind was blank, and tears burst out from his eyes. Tang Su said: "Tuada has the support of Emperor Wanli, and it is not that easy to take revenge, so you must not be reckless." He Pingjiang and Tang Su saw him stunned and let Guo Rong calm himself down.
