Two hundred and fifty-seven chapters, exquisite night
Chapter 257, The night is beautiful
In the afternoon of the first day and the morning of the second day, a few people mainly visited the cultural attractions in Jincheng Town and Jixian Village. In the afternoon of the second day, as is the habit of secret magic practitioners, they traveled from the wild path to Shuanglin Mountain. October is the perfect time for the tour. The weather is fine in the forest, and we walk through the lush forest. The wintersweet has withered, but we can see the mountains full of wild fruits. I occasionally pick some to taste, and they have a sweet and wild taste despite the sourness.
Early that morning, Wan Shukuang, a disciple of Songhe Valley, secretly delivered a package. Zhang Xi sent someone to steal it from a cargo ship and packed it for Wan Shukuang to deliver to the hotel where You Fang was staying. You Fang unpacked it. After checking, the packaging of several items of goods indicated that they were high-grade imitations of ancient porcelain from the official kilns of the Southern Song Dynasty. However, when I took out the items, I discovered that there are indeed people in this world who pass off genuine items as fakes.
He remained calm, put away his things, and ordered someone to pack them up and send them to Shen Shenyi's residence in Qingshan Lake. He still went out for a trip. Of course he came to the scenic spot for tourism, not to mention the fact that he had two beauties traveling with him. How could he let him down? This beautiful mountain scenery.
There are eight scenic spots in Shuanglin Mountain: Tianzhang, Lizhu, Emei, Yunbi, Hexie Yuyan, Shiyunchi, Wanjuxuan and Yinghui Pavilion. There is an ancient temple in the mountain called Shuanglin Temple, surrounded by nine peaks, such as In the lotus stamen, there is a poem that praises: "The famous temple in Shuanglin is hidden in the peaks, and the sky is majestic to the west." The ancient temple has been abandoned, and only the steps and temple base and stone lions still exist. Now the apse has been restored, and there is an endless stream of pilgrims.
Xiang Yinghua didn't like to go to places with many tourists and cigarette smoke. The tourist didn't enter the temple, so he turned around and walked towards the valley. He saw towering ancient trees beside the road, heard the sound of springs, and the stone path in front of him was sloping and deep. The stream flowing through Shuanglin Temple flows into Yangtian Bay, then rolls down from the cliff. After bifurcating, it merges into the upper and lower deep pools. Like a bead curtain hanging upside down, with silver mist making a roaring sound in the sky, it is the Xieyuyan Waterfall.
The three of them watched the waterfall from a distance for a long time, and Cang Lan came to his senses and said: "This place has the appearance of the spiritual axis being rolled up, half in the air, half mountain, half waterfall, half pool, and there is a hidden magic circle of yin and yang in motion."
Xiang Yinghua said: "The Yin-Yang Evil Formation and the formations are the simplest, but the changes are the most mysterious, and the secrets of heaven can be seen everywhere. I heard that Rand once told you about the Yin-Yang Evil Formation in the South China Sea. After a visit here, will you? Anything else to gain?...Rand, you are really good at picking places, where else should we go this afternoon?"
You Fang looked at the tourists coming and going on the mountain road and said, "It's Golden Week and the popularity is quite chaotic. Let's go to the valley."
Surrounded by the undulating mountains of Jiufeng, the valley is a basin landform that has been flooded by flash floods. The climate here is warm and humid, with abundant rainfall, and the plants growing there are very luxuriant. There are many silver-leaf willows and purple phoebe, which are thousands of years old. As we walked deeper and deeper into the ancient primeval forest, we were surrounded by towering ancient trees that had grown for hundreds or even thousands of years. At this time, the sky was getting dark and the sun was setting over the western mountains. However, we stopped in the forest and closed our eyes. It is to enter a state of meditation.
As mentioned before, scenic spots in the mountains are often crowded during the day, and the main attractions are even as lively as a vegetable market. But when it gets dark and the tourists leave, they are immediately left with an empty mountain, a lonely and deep place, and the rotation of weather and popularity during the day is like yin and yang. The changes in the evil formation, not to mention that You Fang and others are in a remote place in the mountains and valleys, inaccessible.
The sunlight had disappeared from the treetops, and the surroundings were getting darker. Only then did You Fang open his eyes and thought, "It turns out that when you move your heart here, you can feel such a subtle and clear feeling!"
Cang Lan was a little surprised and said: "Thousand-year-old trees have grown into forests. Since ancient times, it has been the best place to practice the mind-panning technique inherited by various sects. Cang Lan admires Mr. Rand for being able to find this place. But with your eyesight, how can you see it?"
Would you make such an exclamation?"
The most suitable environment for practicing Heart Pan is a place surrounded by thousand-year-old trees. Because trees have annual rings, which are natural signs of vitality and evolution, they can be sensed by subtle spiritual consciousness. This is much clearer than sensing the changes in the world, mountains and rivers.
Much more. Since ancient times, all sects that teach the art of mind play will basically choose this environment for their disciples to practice. It has become a kind of customary tradition in inheritance, just like the following formula of Go.
How could someone as enigmatic as Melander seem so surprised? So Cang Lan was a little puzzled.
You Fang smiled bitterly and said: "What Miss Canglan said is based on the sect's secret method inheritance experience? It's a pity that when I didn't hear the secret method, my spiritual awareness spontaneously penetrated my heart in ignorance. After I received the master's transmission, I couldn't understand it."
I didn’t practice the heart disk like this, but I realized the wonder of turning the heart disk on the Binzhou South Tower.”
Cang Lan opened her lips slightly for a long time without closing them. She took a breath of air and said, "It's straight to your heart? Disciples are very human, and masters are also very capable!"
Xiang Yinghua knew the details of You Fang's inheritance, so he was not too surprised. He was just slightly surprised and said: "Binzhou South Tower? Many years ago, my grandfather and a senior had a starry night discussion on the top of the tower.
Thinking that Rand also had this experience, the way he learned the heart disk is different. But since we have come to this place of opportunity, we still need to practice the original method of the heart disk from ancient times to become more sophisticated."
You Fang raised his head and looked at the sky: "Then I won't go back tonight. I will sit here in the mountain and understand the subtleties of the heart. What about you?"
Xiang Yinghua didn't say anything, and there was no need to say anything. If You Fang wanted to sit here, she would naturally sit aside. Cang Lan smiled and said: "It's a rare opportunity. Although our Xiaosha sect also has the secret method of heart disk, it is not the secret method of the sect.
Good at it, Cang Lan is also here tonight in the Cangnan ancient forest to feel the wonders of her heart."
None of these three people went back, so they stayed in the mountains that night.
At the same time, several people were plotting in a mountainside villa not far from the Qingshan Lake Scenic Area. Sitting in the middle of the reception room on the second floor were Jingnian, the leader of the Jiuxing Sect's Nizhang Hall, and Mo Yiming, the leader of the Fouzhang Hall.
Mo Yiming said to Jingnian: "Senior brother, I just received news that the cargo box you sent to the ship was pried open and a batch of things were lost, and some of them happened to be hot. What do you think of this?"
Jingnian's expression was filled with surprise and uncertainty: "Why did this happen at this juncture? I heard that the disaster star Melander came to Hangzhou recently and also came to Qingshan Lake yesterday. I always feel frightened. Could it be that he is coming for me?
Of? How could he know this?"
Unknowingly, the little wanderer has become very famous in today's world. In the minds of some people, he is a murderous devil, and in the eyes of others, he has become a disaster star that causes trouble wherever he goes.
Mo Yiming's expression was also uncertain: "Don't forget that he killed Sun Fengbo, and you also took the goods from Hall Master Sun. As the saying goes, 'If you don't want others to know, don't do anything except yourself.' I think
He really came for you, I’m afraid I was also targeted by him.”
Jingnian said bitterly: "What does it have to do with us doing our business? Why not let people live? The rabbit bites people when it is anxious. Is this to force people to fight back?"
Mo Yiming: "This is a move that brings both fame and fortune. When he killed Sun Fengbo, Hall Master Sun became famous in the world, and he also kidnapped the Moon Shadow Fairy in Songhe Valley. It was so beautiful. This disaster star tasted It’s so sweet, you want to use us as a ladder to step on.”
There was deep worry in Jingnian's tone: "I always feel that this year's sect gathering is unusual. Hall Master Chu actually summoned us to Linglong Mountain. Although it is her usual style to seek elegance in the hustle and bustle, there There is something wrong with the atmosphere. Is Master Shen trying to take this opportunity to attack? In recent years, as the master of Nizhang Hall, I have turned a blind eye to many of my disciples’ business problems. , life is not easy for everyone, please help if you can. Is Master Shen dissatisfied?"
Mo Yiming: "Shen Shenyi may not be aware of these things. Just like the business between you and me, few outsiders know about it."
Jingnian: "But today Melander is here. If some of our businesses are really kicked out, I'm afraid it will be a big trouble. The six doors will not let it go. According to the rules of this sect, to be honest, I'm afraid there will be a cleanup of the door." Worry, as the master of the Nizhang Hall and in charge of the sect's discipline, I will only punish you in the most severe way, for fear of losing your life. I want to discuss this with my junior brother today. If something unfortunate happens, I am afraid that this young man of great wealth will have to be entrusted to your care. "
Mo Yiming sighed: "If something happens to Master Jing Hall, I may not be able to protect myself. If Shen Shen and others really want to make trouble at the sect gathering tomorrow, will you and I just sit back and wait for death? If you want to take a risk, , it’s not without vitality.”
Jingnian looked a little struggling, and after thinking for a long time he said: "There is nothing to be afraid of, Hall Master Chu. What we are most afraid of is that Head Shen and Hall Master Liu will take action. You and I have no chance of winning."
Seeing that the fire was almost done, Mo Yiming leaned over and said quietly: "Master Jingtang knows that the Japanese Fujino Co., Ltd. that does business with you and me has always had a grudge against Melander. This time Melander colluded with Shen Shenyi." To deal with us, Mr. An has come over there and is willing to help us destroy Melander. In order to eliminate this serious problem, Hall Master Liu is also willing to cooperate with him. In this way, we have a 100% chance of winning."
Jingnian looked shocked: "This is happening!"
Mo Yiming: "Is Hall Master Jing surprised? If Fujino Co., Ltd. had no problems, how could it do business with you? And this line was introduced by Hall Master Liu. It is logical for her to cooperate with Mr. An."
Jingnian: "What's the purpose of meddling over there?"
Mo Yiming: "I have been pushed too hard by Melander recently, and I have no choice but to fight back to protect ourselves, and we are also protecting ourselves. Even if Shen Shenyi is not around, we can control the Nine Star Sect. And Mr. An has promised to join forces with us It’s just to get rid of Melander. The future affairs of the Nine-Star Sect have nothing to do with him, it’s up to us how to deal with it ourselves.”
Jingnian leaned closer, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Melander is pushing them too hard? That person's surname is An. Could it be that he was in the South China Sea not long ago..."
Mo Yiming interrupted him and said: "Hall Master Jing already knows what he knows, why bother to say it? We are just cooperating temporarily and borrowing others' swords to protect ourselves. After escaping this disaster, everyone will be safe and sound, and there will be no one in the world. People know about this. And the murder of Shen Shen and others as well as these ugly accounts in our Wuchong sect, no matter whether they are merit or demerit, I am afraid that Melander will be blamed, and I am afraid that he will no longer be able to bear it."
Jingnian was silent for a long time, as if he was struggling fiercely in his heart, and asked in a loud voice: "Are there any masters over there?"
Mo Yiming guaranteed: "Yes, of course there is! Mr. An himself is a master of spiritual consciousness, and he has also gathered two hidden masters in Jianghu Fengmen and secret forces transferred from Japan. Let alone deal with Shen Shenyi, even if Melander, Xiang Yinghua, Cang Lan and others can all be eliminated if they take action."
Jingnian was still hesitating: "Although Shen Shenyi, Chu Fu and others are self-respecting and neglecting to help their colleagues, the fault is still ours. If we really take action, there will be no room for redemption. We have been in the same school for many years, shouldn't we? Is there any other way to resolve this crisis? I think it’s better to wait and see what happens. If it doesn’t work, then…”
Although his tone was hesitant, he subconsciously called Shen Shen Yi by his first name and no longer called him Master Shen.
At this moment, a man pushed in the door, it was Jingnian's disciple Yang Bao, carrying a bloody human head in his hand. Jingnian jumped up in horror, pointed at him with shaking hands and shouted: "This, this is Sun Fenglang, why did you kill him?"
Yang Bao said angrily: "Sun Fenglang pretended to be in contact with us for secret business, but he didn't really want to avenge his brother. He just sneaked away in an attempt to betray Shen Shenyi. If I don't take action, I'm afraid Master, you will suffer disaster tonight. "
Jingnian sat down slumped: "How could such a thing happen? You are too reckless! Once Sun Fenglang dies, there will be no room for redemption in the conflict."
Yang Bao: "Master, do you still want to have room for redemption? I have no plans to show mercy for a long time!"
Mo Yiming also said: "Since Sun Fenglang died, Shen Shenyi and we are no longer at odds with each other. It will take time to trace him, and he is just missing now. The sect meeting is tomorrow, we must make up our minds to end this serious problem!"
Jingnian stared blankly at Sun Fenglang's head. Suddenly he gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh and said, "A man will cut off what he has to say. Now that the matter is over, let's plan for tomorrow's party. We must strike first!"
The book hints that Jingnian, the leader of the Nizhang Hall who was "forgotten" by An Zuojie, really has no direct relationship with the Wuchong Sect. He only has "cooperation" in business. His business is already related to Liu Si. The line of cooperation with Japan Fujino Co., Ltd. was introduced by Liu Si, but his subsequent "cooperation" with Fujino Co., Ltd. was not just a tea business.
Sun Fengbo's misbehavior was once found out by Jingnian and he had to be punished according to the sect rules. If he had dealt with it at that time, Sun Fengbo might not have died at the hands of You Fang later. But Sun Fengbo had given him a lot of benefits before. After the incident, he begged hard and promised to share the benefits of the business with Hall Master Jing, but Jingnian was so obsessed that he covered it up for him.
Later, Sun Fengbo used him to smuggle cultural relics to Japan, and they took care of each other's business. Jingnian also shared the profits from the sale of stolen goods. Later, he met Zhan Modao at a party in the Nanhai fishing village. Somehow, Zhan Modao found out about this business. But they didn't threaten him, and instead asked him to help smuggle ancient porcelain. It was very convenient in the name of exporting antique craft porcelain. It was regarded as a kind of private care between colleagues, and it was beneficial to each other.
Mo Yiming, the leader of Fouzhangtang, was in Qinhuangdao, smuggling rare earth minerals to Japan that were restricted from export by the state. He was also found out and questioned by Jingnian. As a result, Mo Yiming came to ask for help and asked him to cooperate in this line and share the profits. Anyway, at the beginning It doesn’t matter if he’s done everything, it’s only fifteen. Jingnian let Mo Yiming go and cooperated with him. Fujino Co., Ltd. couldn’t ask for it, and they have made a lot of money in these years.
As the cooperation lasted longer and longer, Fujino Co., Ltd. euphemistically proposed to acquire the secret crystal stone, which surprised Jingnian because it showed that the other party actually knew about the inheritance of Fengmen's secret method. But at this time, Jingnian had already He was deeply trapped and could not give up this cooperative relationship, so he privately purchased the secret crystal stone from Tian Hua and resold it to Fujino Co., Ltd. at a higher price.
Jingnian is not without doubts in his heart, but he has always comforted himself that business is just business, and everyone benefits from it, and it has nothing to do with the Nine Star Sect. But looking back, he is like a spider woven into a Even if he wants to let go, his collaborators who share interests with him cannot let go.
Jingnian is not an undercover agent of the Wuchong Sect, nor does he even really know the affairs of the Wuchong Sect, but everything he has done as the leader of the Nizhang Hall in recent years, if he is really exposed and brought to light, he will only receive the most severe punishment. Severe punishment. He was still hesitating whether he could ask Shen Shen to let him go after many years of friendship.
However, Yang Bao killed Sun Fenglang and everything was irreversible. Jingnian finally made up his mind to attack. But he didn't know very well. In fact, Mo Yiming was the person in the Jiuxing Sect who had colluded with the Wuchong Sect for a long time, and his own Disciple Yang Bao has been completely dragged into the water during these years of business cooperation.
…
When Mo Yiming and Jingnian were conspiring, An Zuojie and his confidant George were also conferring in a resort on the shores of Qingshan Lake. The two of them spoke Spanish, mixed with a few Chinese nouns from time to time.
An Zuojie: "Everyone is here?"
George: "This time I am conveying the order from the New York headquarters. Everything is being done according to the wishes of the second boss. Of course, all the experts from Fujino have been transferred over, including those who were lurking in the country. After receiving the order, they all rushed to Linglong Mountain. .These people are the confidants of the second boss, and we would like to take this opportunity to eliminate them. You and I don’t need to take action, Melander will not let them go."
An Zuojie: "The second boss's purpose is to destroy the Nine-Star Sect and make all the factions suspicious of Melander. You have to pay a price to achieve your goal, right? I will definitely complete it well!"
George frowned slightly: "We are very strong this time, why don't we take the opportunity to get rid of Melander?"
An Zuojie shook his head slightly: "It's better to keep him as much as possible. Firstly, this is the second boss's intention. Our conspiracy has not yet been exposed, so we should not openly defy it. Secondly, with this person here, we can attract The second boss pays the most attention, so we can take the opportunity to do a lot of things. As long as he cooperates with us this time, it will be difficult to escape in the future. Make good use of this person, he is a ladder for us to control the organization."
George: "But we have to be careful. Aren't you afraid that he will take the opportunity to kill you?"
An Zuojie smiled coldly: "Of course I have to guard against this move. Xiang Yinghua next to him is very difficult to deal with. The two masters secretly trained by the second boss in Wo Niu Sect and Xingfa Sect are not reused by the sects. , have you arrived too? Ask them to follow you masked, plus the two masters from Fujino to deal with Xiang Yinghua and Cang Lan. As for Melander, whether he is really cooperating or pretending to be cooperating, he is If he wants to take action, if things go wrong, I will kill him personally!"
