Chapter 169
Heshibi actually does not refer to the piece of jade, but the jade seal carved from jade.This object is invaluable and was once held by the emperors of the Qin and Han dynasties.Later, when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Wang threw the jade seal to the envoy who took it.The jade seal rolled to the ground, smashing a small corner, which was later inlaid with gold.This is its only flaw, which has also become its important feature.
From the end of the Han Dynasty to the present, Heshibi has been kept by Cihang Jingzhai.When the world was in turmoil, Jingzhai Fang sent a descendant to walk out of the mountains, and choose one person from among the heroes who can end the troubled times. As the master of Heshibi, it also represents the recognition of the Central Plains Zhengdao sect.In a word, whoever obtains He's Bi from the normal way can get the support of various sects of the righteous way. Not only the military strength will be greatly increased, but the prestige of the people will also rise accordingly.
In the eyes of most powerful patriarchs and rebel leaders, this is a treasure that surpasses all martial arts cheats.
Therefore, Su Ye said that even if he couldn't get it, he didn't want others to get it.She has always believed that He's Bi was originally a treasure presented to the King of Chu by Bian He, a native of Chu.If it is fair to say, all people in the world should have the qualifications and opportunities to obtain it.
Lu Miaozi didn't show a surprised expression after hearing this ambition, but only raised her eyebrows, which was a response to her.He has been in contact with Su Ye for two years, and he knows that since she said that, it is definitely not a joke.She wanted Yang Su's treasury where gold, silver and weapons were hidden, and of course He's Bi.
Because he regarded her as a junior, he kindly reminded her that if he robbed her by force, the consequences might intensify, and it was even more likely that he would arouse the hostility of Taoist masters.However, Su Ye said that if someone successfully snatched He's Bi, it would prove in disguise that the masters did not have the strength to keep this treasure.
However, she did not tell him that He Shibi was also involved in her bet with Shen Luoyan.Shen Luoyan made an agreement with her a year ago, if He Shibi was born and finally fell into her hands and was not snatched back, then she would admit her means and ambitions and formally give up Li Mi.
This is one of the reasons and the most important reason.
In addition, Su Ye's own thoughts are different from those of the heroes.She has never particularly valued He's Bi, but wants the aura of heaven and earth contained in it.She doesn't even want to absorb and use this mysterious treasure by herself, because she has passed the stage of being attracted and troubled by foreign objects.She wanted to take it back and give it to Su Mengzhen, and use it to adjust his physique and cure his chronic illness fundamentally.
It doesn't matter if Jing Zhai's successor admits her or not, she is determined to win.As the saying goes, Qin lost its deer, and the whole world pursued it, so why not Heshibi.
After a long talk, Lu Miaozi formally promised her that she would try her best to help persuade Shang Xiuxun's mother and daughter.He is proficient in the art of war, and of course he can see the benefits of mastering the nearby cities and counties on the ranch.However, even if he went out in person, he did not shake the 160-year-old family rules of the ranch.Most of the ranch elders thought it was unnecessary and did not agree with the proposal to send troops.
After Su Ye got the answer, he was not disappointed. He thought to himself that their deep-rooted psychology could be shaken only when the situation was very critical.
In other words, if the Jialou Luo army only occupied one city, Shang Xiuxun could still treat them as grassroots bandits.But once she formally attacked Jingling, it would be tantamount to making enemies with Zhu Can's father and daughter, and the future was unpredictable.In her heart, she still hoped that there would be another army to drive away the Garuda army, and Mu Changerlang would only act as a reinforcement or provide rear support.
Su Ye had expected that things might develop like this, but Xu Xingzhi was slightly disappointed.After all, he is a native of Jingling, and he cares more about the situation in his hometown than outsiders.Seeing this, Su Ye persuaded him to go to Wagang and join Zhai Rang, and said that he would return to Wagang Village in a month.Xu Xingzhi seemed quite moved, promised her to play by ear, and returned to Jingling alone.
It wasn't until Su Ye left the Pegasus Ranch that Hou Xibai drew her on the blank side of the beauty fan.In fact, he painted Shang Xiuxun first, because Shang Xiuxun was much easier to draw than her, and after spending countless efforts, he finally succeeded in portraying Su Ye's unique temperament of being young and mature, both fresh and bright, as much as possible. Melt her into the hazy scene behind the clouds and mountains.
This portrait has both natural and man-made beauty, which is exactly the feeling that emerged in his mind when the two fought against each other.
After seeing the painting, Su Ye had to admit the artistic attainments of the descendants of the Huajian School, and was very satisfied with the effect.After that, Hou Xibai stayed with her for another period of time, discussing with her the paintings of famous masters from the Tang Dynasty and later dynasties, and then officially broke up.He went north according to the original plan, while Su Ye traveled eastward all the way to Yangzhou to meet Yun Yuzhen and go to the date they had set for her.
She still did not take the water route, but went east by land, and after leaving Zhu Can's sphere of influence, she returned to a relatively peaceful and peaceful world.However, it seemed that every time she traveled a long distance, accidents would happen along the way.When she was about to arrive in Huangshi, Hubei, she suddenly noticed someone following her.
This person's martial arts are extremely high, and he seems to be good at the art of hiding. He is very careful when he moves, and his aura is faintly felt.If it weren't for Su Ye's martial arts to be more advanced than before, it might be difficult to find that someone is deliberately stalking her.
She no longer deliberately hides her appearance, and at the same time is eager to confront real masters, learn experience from the confrontation, and help herself understand the last and most important two hexagrams.If she continues to play tricks, it's either because she's lazy to talk to the other party, or for other reasons.
But before that, she probably didn't have a deadly enemy, so she was very curious about this mysterious stalker. She didn't know if he just passed by and saw her and followed her casually when he had nothing to do, or if he planned it for a long time. Keep track of her whereabouts.
Fearing that the other party might be alerted, she pretended to be ignorant. In the vast and distant twilight, she walked leisurely into Yellowstone City and found a random inn to stay.After she entered the room and resettled, the faint feeling hovered for a while, and after confirming that she really lived here, she gradually moved away and went to another direction in the city.
As soon as this person was far away, Su Ye immediately refreshed, changed from prey to hunter, from being tracked to tracker, and launched a reverse track.When she deliberately followed a person, unless that person's skill was stronger than hers, or her senses were extremely sensitive, she would never be able to detect it.This time, after only walking two long streets, she managed to identify the target she was looking for from the endless stream of people on the street.
It was a man in a scholar's uniform with an elegant and unrestrained back.Seen from the back, he has a refined and upright demeanor. Seen from the side, he has straight features, delicate and handsome. He has reached middle age, and his whole body is full of incomparable bearing and demeanor of teenagers and young people.
There is a copper flute in his waist, adding a lot of meaning of idle clouds and wild cranes, like a person who is full of poems and books and ignores common affairs, which can easily attract others' favor.But Su Ye followed him to the end and saw him walk into a brothel called "Zuixianglou".
"I knew it," she thought helplessly, "I knew it."
After nightfall, the brothel Chu Guan is more lively than during the day, and the banquet is held all night long.The middle-aged scribe walked into the brothel, and it felt like Godzilla walked into the Golden Wind and Rain Tower, except that it didn't match, it still didn't match.
Seeing him like this, Su Ye was basically sure of his identity as a member of the Demon Sect, but couldn't figure out who it was.And this Zuixiang Building should also be the property of the Demon Sect, usually used as a safe place to stay, and can also collect information for the sect.
Fortunately, most of the women in the building are not familiar with martial arts, and their eyes are as blind as they are open.She wanted to find a gap to sneak in, and there was no problem at all.As soon as the man entered the door, he was immediately welcomed up to the second floor by the old bustard, and entered a room with gorgeous furnishings, specially used to entertain distinguished guests.
It wasn't until he entered the room that he said the first sentence in a low and pleasant voice, "Are you all ready?"
The old bustard went against her usual enchanting attitude, and said respectfully: "Everything is ready, and I am satisfied with disciplining those Tiele people. However, I heard that 'Big Thief' Qu Ao is the number one master of Tiele, and he likes to enjoy sensuality..."
The middle-aged scribe snorted coldly and said, "Qu Ao came to Hubei to meet me, Bi Shouxuan, not to meet the girl in your building. I just need to show him the sincerity of the Holy Gate, and I don't need to be like a sycophant, trying to curry favor he."
The old bustard said: "Yes."
Su Ye hid outside the door. Seeing people walking up to the second floor, he adjusted his position between the pillars, sometimes even clinging to the wall or ceiling like a gecko, hiding in the blind spot of people's sight.However, the people in the building had apparently been ordered not to disturb the building without being summoned, so almost no one really approached here.
As soon as the middle-aged scribe said, "I'm Bi Shou Xuan", she immediately remembered his identity like thunder.This person's name is Bi Shouxuan, nicknamed "Yunyu Shuangxiu", he is good at intercourse, and he often uses male and female intercourse to heal injuries. He is Zhu Yuyan's uncle.Regardless of his appearance, he is only about 40 years old, his real age may be nearly a hundred years old, and he is the most senior member of the Yingui sect.
He was preparing to entertain "Big Thief" Qu Ao, which was news that did not surprise Su Ye.
Bi Shouxuan has an apprentice who is better than blue and better than blue. It is Lin Shihong, the overlord near Poyang.He cherishes this disciple very much, and thinks that he can surpass Houhou and become the true successor of the Yin Gui Sect and even the entire Demon Sect.Qu Ao is ambitious, and sends his only son into the Central Plains, where he pretends to be a Han Chinese, under the pseudonym "Ren Shaoming", and establishes an iron cavalry club in the south.
The Yingui faction colluded with Tie Le to seek hegemony in the south of the Yangtze River, so Ren Shaoming and Lin Shihong also supported each other and advanced together.Bi Shouxuan made an appointment to see Qu Ao, of course, to exchange opinions on the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, and to teach his apprentice and son how to gain greater benefits.
But Su Ye still hasn't figured out whether he deliberately followed her.After all, after Wen Caiting returns to the Yingui Sect, she should inform the members of the Yingui Sect about her.She would not be surprised if Bi Shouxuan became interested in her and deliberately searched for her whereabouts.
