Volume 16: The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword (Part 1) Chapter 365: Hypocritical
"If you're willing, I'll wait for you at Lengxiang Cottage tonight. I can tell you a big secret."
This note could only have been left by Lin Xianer.
Su Weiyun smiled and said, "I know your secrets better than anyone else. Is there anything else you can tell me?"
He knew the plot of this dimension, and of course he understood Lin Xian'er very well.
If he remembered correctly, this date was set up for Li Xunhuan. Li Xunhuan visited Lin Xian'er at night, but did not see Lin Xian'er. Instead, he was regarded as a "Plum Blossom Thief".
He faced a group of martial arts masters and was betrayed by his best brother Long Xiaoyun. Finally, he had to go to Shaolin Temple to clear his name.
Su Weiyun held the note and thought carefully for a moment, and finally decided to keep the appointment.
He just decided to go to Shaolin Temple because he knew that Bai Xiaosheng, who wrote the "World Weapons List" ten years ago, was also a guest in Shaolin Temple.
——It would be best if he could also go to Shaolin Temple to meet Bai Xiaosheng, let Bai Xiaosheng see his martial arts, and then directly rank the "Xiaoxiang Sword" in the "top three of the weapons list".
It is not an easy task to defeat any one of Li Xunhuan, Shangguan Jinhong, and Tianji Old Man with certainty.
Moreover, when masters fight, life and death can often be decided.
So Su Weiyun also decided to try other methods.
…
night.
Lengxiang Cottage, the snow has stopped.
The plum blossoms are mixed with snowflakes, and the cool fragrance lingers faintly in the garden.
The pond was frozen, and a small bridge with red railings spanned the water; the lights on the small building were dim, and the house was quiet and silent.
Su Weiyun didn't even knock on the door, but walked straight up the stairs and in.
There is no need to knock on the door of a woman like Lin Xian'er. She will always welcome you whenever you want to go in.
There were a few dishes on the table and a pot of wine warming on the stove.
The aroma of wine warmed the whole house. The dishes were also very delicately cooked, including honey-roasted ham and frozen chicken as white as jade. However, Lin Xian'er was no longer in the room.
Since she had carefully prepared so much food and wine, why was she nowhere to be seen?
Before Su Weiyun sat down, a dozen fierce gusts of wind suddenly blew in from outside the window. The candle by the table was extinguished with a "hiss, chih, chih" and the room was suddenly plunged into darkness.
Then there was a sound of strong wind, and countless hidden weapons came from all directions, attacking Su Weiyun.
Su Weiyun was not in a hurry. He fluttered his robe, jumped high, and quickly pressed down his wide sleeves. It was like a huge flash of lightning in the darkness.
Ping, ping, pong, pong...
The Thunder God's Hand!
Su Weiyun's martial arts skills have now reached a terrifying level. He can use his previous unique skills at will and display extremely powerful power.
After a burst of noise, all the hidden weapons coming from all directions were covered by Su Weiyun's sleeves and fell to the ground. There were a total of seventeen hidden weapons, not a single one was missing.
At this moment, shouting and scolding were heard outside the house!
"Plum Blossom Thief, you can't escape anymore, come out and die!"
"Even if you have the ability to reach the sky, we will make sure you die without a burial place today!"
"To tell you the truth, Mr. Tian Qi from Luoyang Prefecture has arrived today, as well as the 'Moyun Hand' Gongsun, Master Zhao, and Master Long Si..."
Amidst the chaos and noise, someone suddenly shouted, "Don't make a fuss, calm down first!"
The man's voice was like a loud bell. After he spoke a few words, no other voices could be heard around him.
Su Weiyun murmured, "Tian Qi, Gongsun, Zhao Zhengyi, Long Xiaoyun, it would be difficult for them to catch me."
Then the man asked again: "Now that my friend is here, why don't you come out to meet me?"
Su Weiyun smiled and said, "Didn't Master Long just see me last night? It feels like a long time since we last met. Do you miss me so much?"
Suddenly someone outside the house said, "Ah?! Is the person inside Su Shaoxia? It's late at night, the dew is heavy, and the weather is cold. Why did Su Shaoxia come here?"
This is what surprised Long Xiaoyun.
It seemed as if he had completely forgotten what he had told Su Weiyun yesterday about Lin Xian'er's invitation.
Su Weiyun laughed: "I just wanted to see if the real Plum Blossom Thief would come, but I didn't expect you to attack me first."
He walked out of the house slowly and saw people outside the attic screaming and people retreating.
Long Xiaoyun said, "Ah, we almost hurt one of our own by mistake. Master Tian Qi, Master Gongsun, this is Master Su. Everyone, put down your weapons and don't hurt him."
If one was not an insider, one would never have thought that Long Xiaoyun and Su Weiyun had a grudge against each other for murdering their son. He treated Su Weiyun like a brother.
Su Weiyun said: "Miss Lin Xian'er and I had an appointment tonight, so I came here specially to keep the appointment."
The man called Tian Qi frowned and said, "Although I have just arrived at Baozhuang, I know that Miss Lin Xian'er has moved out of Lengxiang Cottage this afternoon to avoid the Plum Blossom Bandits. She will definitely not come here tonight."
Su Weiyun said: "I have a note she wrote to me."
He waved his hand casually, and a small white piece of paper flew away lightly.
Although it was just a piece of thin paper, it was like a sharp knife, cutting through the wind with a hissing sound, and instantly appeared in front of Tian Qi.
Compared to this hidden weapon skill that utilized internal strength, what they had used before was nothing more than showing off one's skills in front of an expert, which caused people to laugh at them.
Tian Qi was moved. He picked up the note and read it by the light of the fire. He said, "So that's how it is. I'm afraid we have misunderstood Young Master Su."
Long Xiaoyun said, "Haha, I've always known Young Master Su's character. He can't possibly be the Plum Blossom Thief. Young Master, please come and sit with us in the hall."
He walked forward again, enthusiastically took Su Weiyun's hand, and the group walked towards the main hall.
Arriving at the main hall, everyone exchanged greetings for a long time, discussing how to deal with the two people who suddenly walked in from outside the door.
Two people you would never expect.
One of them was the returning Lin Xianer, and the other was a young man with a very tattered, shabby and crude sword on his waist.
It was the stubborn young man that Su Weiyun and Li Xunhuan had met on the snowy road earlier.
He was carrying a dead body on his back.
Tian Qi had already asked, "Where are you from, friend? What are you doing here?"
The young man had already said, "I don't have a name, and I don't want to make friends with someone like you."
Tian Qi frowned: "Since you don't have any friends here, why did you come?"
The boy said nothing.
Lin Xian'er smiled and said, "He is my friend, his name is Ah Fei. He saved me and killed the Plum Blossom Bandit!"
When everyone heard the name "Plum Blossom Thief", they were shocked and stood up at the same time.
Ah Fei threw the body behind him to the ground.
The corpse was skinny and dry, with scars all over his face, and it was impossible to tell what he originally looked like. He was wearing a tight black coat and had a fatal sword wound on his throat.
Tian Qi said in disbelief: "This... is this the Plum Blossom Thief?"
Ah Fei said: "That's right."
Tian Qi showed no joy on his face, but asked, "How do you prove that he is the Plum Blossom Thief?"
Ah Fei said: "When he was kidnapping Lin Xian'er, I caught him!"
Tian Qi asked, "The one who kidnapped Miss Lin Xian'er must be the Plum Blossom Thief?"
Lin Xian'er looked at Ah Fei with gratitude and tenderness in her eyes. She revealed the secret of the Plum Blossom Thief to everyone, telling them about his "hidden weapon in his mouth" and explaining how he attacked and killed his opponents.
After hearing what Lin Xian'er said, Tian Qi said, "But this doesn't prove that this is the Plum Blossom Thief? Did he admit it himself?"
Ah Fei didn't answer. Maybe it wasn't that he couldn't answer, he just didn't want to answer.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Tian Qi admonished him earnestly, "You are too young after all. You think others are as easily fooled as you are. If everyone brings back a dead person and says he is the Plum Blossom Thief, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
He suddenly reached out and grabbed the young man beside him, and asked in a harsh voice, "Are you the Plum Blossom Thief?"
“I…I…”
Tian Qi sighed and said, "Alas, it seems that I have caught another Plum Blossom Thief!"
Everyone looked at Ah Fei and laughed.
"Aren't we all Plum Blossom Thieves?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
There was already a hint of anger burning in Ah Fei's eyes. He felt like a clown here, being mocked for no reason.
The way he gets angry is different from others. Others will become irritable and restless, but he will become more silent.
Su Weiyun suddenly laughed and said, "Hahahaha, young man, don't you understand that with a great man like Tian Qi here, how could he give up the reputation of 'Killing the Plum Blossom Thief' to you?"
"Even if the person you killed was really the Plum Blossom Thief, they can still say it was the Peach Blossom Thief or the Pear Blossom Thief."
Long Xiaoyun laughed awkwardly: "Haha, Young Master Su is really good at joking. Of course, we are just being cautious."
Su Weiyun added: "Look, these heroes are all very cautious in their behavior, so Ah Fei, you should learn more from them."
Ah Fei already had a sword in his hand and asked coldly, "What do you want to learn?"
Su Weiyun said: "They are cautious, so you should be more cautious too. Since they said that it is not the Plum Blossom Bandit, you might as well kill everyone here. If you keep killing, you will eventually kill the Plum Blossom Bandit!"
"Do you think this method is good?"
"not good!"
Suddenly, a monk outside the hall chanted a Buddhist name and said in a deep voice, "Amitabha, why is the donor so murderous?"
The voice was deep and heavy, with a rumbling echo that could be heard from far away in the hall, demonstrating the person's extraordinary inner strength.
Su Weiyun stood up and looked, only to see an old monk and four other monks walking slowly out of the snow.
"The monks from Shaolin Temple are here!"
Long Xiaoyun clapped his hands and said, "Qin Zhong is a lay disciple of Shaolin. The senior monks of Shaolin Temple have finally arrived! Young Master Su, since the senior monks are here, you can't joke around like that!"
Su Weiyun said: "The monks are broad-minded and tolerant of everything. I made a few jokes, and they will not mind it."
At this time, the monk outside the door, wearing Buddhist beads, walked in.
The old monk in the lead had white beard and brows, a pair of eyes that looked fierce and his clasped hands were as thick as door panels, and it was obvious that he had mastered the palm power of Buddhism to perfection.
"It turns out to be Master Xinmei from Shaolin!"
Everyone bowed.
Master Xinmei looked around as he entered the room, his eyes sparkling as he asked, "My sect's head brother received a pigeon message from Fatuo Temple, informing me that our lay disciple Qin Zhong was seriously injured, and he immediately ordered me to rush here."
"I just heard that someone caught the Plum Blossom Thief. Where is he now?"
"It's him!"
Tian Qi suddenly stepped forward, swung out his index finger, and shouted, "That's him! Master, please get rid of him!"
The person he was pointing at was actually Su Weiyun!
