Chapter 131: Li Xunhuan
"When Shi Yan refused Master Mu's participation in the Ghost Shanzhuang plan, I already had a count in my heart. Later, I stayed in the Ghost Shanzhuang for so long just to catch Master Mu's handle."
"Then why didn't you think of lighting the lamp?"
"This..."
"Shi Yan let Master Mu go?"
"Not only did he let Master Mu go, but he also gave Master Mu the things he had been thinking about. This is Master Mu accumulating virtue for himself. However, I heard that when Master Mu went down the mountain, he once said a sentence."
"What sentence?"
"Love you, hate you, for a lifetime."
"Was he saying it to Shi Yan?"
"He was saying it to Wudang!"
"Lu Xiaofeng, I'm going to attend a great wedding. Guess who didn't get an invitation?"
"I'll go to Hua Manlou's wedding even if I have to disguise myself... Sigh, the Hua family, sigh, Emei. If I had known, I would have chosen the proprietress. Anyway, Ximen Chuixue is going to kill me regardless."
"I think Ye Xue is a strong contender for Lu Xiaofeng's wife."
"That little girl Ye Ling is also not bad."
"The younger sister in the Red Shoes is also quite good. She helped Lu Xiaofeng deal with Master Mu by disguising herself."
"How could it be Shaman!!!"
"In the past year, our Invisible Men force has expanded rapidly, but assassination is our craft; tradition cannot be lost. Gu Qing, you are the leader of the Invisible Men. Tell us, how should our assassination business develop?"
"I'm preparing to lead the Invisible Men in a 'Moth Action,' specifically targeting Chu Liuxiang's old friends for assassination to force Chu Liuxiang out."
"Gu Qing, from now on, you are no longer an Invisible Man..."
Transmigration, seeing transmigration again.
Gu Qing looked at the Xingyun Manor in front of him. He had come to this world for less than a month.
There was a small alley behind the back wall of Xingyun Manor. It was muddy and ankle-deep when it rained, and dusty when it was windy. It never saw sunlight all year round, and what was sold were some coarse foods, and the guest rooms were also very simple. The shopkeeper was even a hunchback. But in this small alley that no one cared about, in this shop that no one cared about, many guests came today.
There was a gray-haired old man in a blue shirt holding a dry pipe, a pretty girl with long braids and eyes like black lacquer, a burly man with a full beard and a strong body... Gu Qing sat at a table with a drunkard in this shop.
At the moment, the sky was dark, and there were candles on every dining table. Only Gu Qing's table didn't even have an oil lamp. However, this didn't affect Gu Qing's eating. In this pitch-black darkness, Gu Qing used his chopsticks like flying.
While eating, a purple-faced youth suddenly stared at the braided girl and asked, "Is the girl a singer?"
The braided girl shook her head hurriedly, and the braided hair she had groomed swung left and right, making her look even more charming.
The purple-faced youth was happy and said, "Even if you don't sing for money, you can always sing a few lines, right? As long as you sing well, I will reward you heavily."
The braided girl pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "I can't sing, I can only tell stories, stories in the Jianghu."
The purple-faced youth immediately invited the braided girl to tell a play.
This braided girl was Sun Xiaohong, the granddaughter of the Heavenly Machine Old Man. And the old man beside her was the Heavenly Machine Old Man, who ranked first in the Weapon Manual. This Heavenly Machine Old Man seemed to be traveling in the red dust, but he knew a lot about many things in the Jianghu. At this time, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Do you all know Li Xunhuan?"
Everyone's ears suddenly pricked up.
"I know."
Gu Qing, who was eating, suddenly chimed in and said, "Li Xunhuan's imperial examination results were not ideal, but he eventually became the Li Tanhua of the current dynasty."
Such words sounded very absurd to everyone.
The Heavenly Machine Old Man narrowed his eyes, took a sip of wine, and said, "That's right. One family with seven *jinshi*, father and son with three Third Place Scholars—to others, this is an honor, but the Li family people have high spirits and were fully committed to supplying a top scholar. As a result, the eldest Li young master took the exam and was a Li Tanhua. The younger Li young master's talent was even higher. After taking the exam, he was actually also a Li Tanhua. The old Li Tanhua was disappointed and passed away within two years. The eldest Li Tanhua also contracted an incurable disease. All the family business was left to the Little Li Li Tanhua..."
The drunkard opposite Gu Qing suddenly stood up to pour wine, only feeling the past events accompanying the autumn wind, surging into his heart together.
"The Little Li Li Tanhua was very unpromising and gave all this family business to others."
Gu Qing chimed in again.
"That's all in the past."
The Heavenly Machine Old Man said, "Lu Duan is not confused about major events. Li Li Tanhua entered the Jianghu for seven years, experienced three hundred battles, big and small, and broke out with the name 'Little Li Flying Dagger, never missing its target.' After that, he went out of the pass for ten years and returned to the Central Plains two years ago. Right here in Xingyun Manor, he was involved in the Plum Blossom Thief affair, injured the Green Demon Hand, killed the Happy Cave Master, and killed Bai Xiaosheng, who ranked the Weapon Manual, with one knife."
The Heavenly Machine Old Man ignored Li Xunhuan's confused affairs and praised the major events Li Xunhuan had done.
Gu Qing laughed and said, "So the friend-selling Long Xiaoyun saw Li Xunhuan was so fierce and was afraid that Li Xunhuan would take revenge on him, so he didn't even want his wife, children, and manor, got up and ran away, leaving Li Xunhuan to take care of his wife, children, and manor."
"Li Xunhuan has also not been in the Jianghu for two years because of this."
The drunkard drinking opposite Gu Qing paused slightly.
The several waves of Jianghu people in this shop also looked at Gu Qing... They all came for Xingyun Manor. Hearing that Xingyun Manor was taken care of by Li Xunhuan, everyone backed out.
"Li Xunhuan is taking care of Xingyun Manor?"
The Heavenly Machine Old Man's words were surprised.
"Everyone has everyone's misfortune, and everyone's happiness."
Gu Qing critiqued sharply, "I don't know if the current Li Xunhuan guarding Lin Shiyin feels more misfortune or more happiness. Perhaps he has already regarded this misfortune as happiness?"
The drunkard opposite Gu Qing drank silently, knowing the cold and warmth himself.
The Heavenly Machine Old Man looked at Gu Qing emphatically, feeling that this young man sang along with him, which was smoother than his partnership with Sun Xiaohong, and said again, "Does this young hero know about 'using his own way to treat his own body'?"
"I've heard of it."
Gu Qing said indifferently.
"In the past month or so, a young hero named Gu Qing has appeared in the Jianghu. His martial arts are profound to the ultimate realm. Any martial art in this world, he learns it as soon as he sees it, and becomes proficient as soon as he learns it. Every time he fights with others, as long as he takes a life, he inevitably makes people die under their own famous unique skills."
The Heavenly Machine Old Man said, "Gongsun Moyun shocked the Jianghu with the Moyun Fourteen Hands and was killed by someone using the Moyun Fourteen Hands. Qin Xiaoyi's iron fist was fierce, but he punched through his own chest. Iron Slurry Pang Ying used to be a water pirate in his early years and liked to wrap wontons when killing people, but he was dissected by that young hero in public, stuffed with stones, bundled with clothes, and thrown into the moat. Before falling into the water, Pang Ying was still crying out in pain. 'Using his own way to treat his own body' was spread at that time."
Hearing the tragic state of wrapping wontons, everyone felt a sense of sympathy.
Gu Qing said calmly, "With such retribution, I hope people will think twice before doing things that hurt heaven and reason."
"Then what rank can Gu Qing be in the Weapon Manual?"
The purple-faced youth asked.
Gu Qing shook his head and said regretfully, "Bai Xiaosheng is dead, and no one ranks the Weapon Manual anymore. But Gu Qing has a unique skill that can restrain everyone on the Weapon Manual." While speaking, Gu Qing stretched out two fingers.
Can the Soul-Intuition Finger really catch the Little Li Flying Dagger?
