After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 237: Grandpa, tell us stories from the past!

Blind Man's Terrace.

The two men were in good physical condition, but they had been walking for an hour and were exhausted when they arrived.

They knew the place was a little far, but they didn't expect it to be this far.

Moreover, there are no roads in some places, and the roads are difficult to walk on, which makes people feel very embarrassed.

It's a bit sloppy indeed.

But work is work, and both of them are very serious about their work.

After resting for a while, he began to take photos of the scene to keep evidence, and then asked Chen Yang about some specific circumstances at the time, and made audio and paper records.

The whole process took nearly an hour to complete.

"I heard that the bounty this time is two million?"

It was already noon when they came out of Xiaziping. Two million was not a small amount of money. It was his benefit, so Chen Yang would certainly not give up fighting for it.

Hu Kai nodded and said, "We will report the situation here after we return. Don't worry, Mr. Chen, our association will not lose anything that belongs to you."

"Thank you both very much."

"You're welcome. It's all work."

……

When they returned to the old house, it was almost two o'clock. Chen Yang wanted to invite them to have dinner, but the two of them declined on the grounds that they had to go back to complete their work.

Before leaving, Hu Kai pulled Chen Yang to the corner of the yard and said, "Mr. Chen, there is something I need to remind you of."

"please say."

"Liu Changqing has a special identity. He is from the Liujiazhai of Niutou Mountain, one of the twelve villages in Raojiang. Although he left very early and rarely contacts Raojiang, he still has a great reputation in Raojiang. The association will try its best to conceal the relationship between Liu Changqing and you, but you also know that there is no wall that is impenetrable..."

"You mean, Rao Jiang will cause trouble for me?"

"They certainly wouldn't dare to do it openly. After all, we have issued a wanted order. They don't dare to go against our association. But what happens in secret is unclear. So, Mr. Chen, you have to be more careful. If you have any problems, you can call me. After you join the association, the association will provide you with help."

"What happened in Raojiang is a minor matter. Most of the six friends of Longtan are dead now, but there are still two alive. One of them is being held in the Phoenix Mountain Prison in the provincial capital and will never be able to get out in this lifetime. You don't have to worry about him, but there is still one person you must be careful of..."

"Oh?"

Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat.

The six friends of Longtan, led by Ding Huanchun, are still alive? And there are still two?
"Who is this person?" Chen Yang asked immediately.

Hu Kai said, "Qingshen Mountain, Duan Qiuping."

"Qingshen?"

Chen Yang frowned slightly. It sounded like a woman's name.

Hu Kai said, "This Duan Qiuping is the fifth of the Longtan Six, and is one of the Panshan Five Sects. He is the direct descendant of the leader of the Qingshen Sect. At that time, the status of the Panshan Five Sects was even higher than the Eight Sects. So, even though this person committed a serious crime, he was still saved by Qingshen. From then on, he lived in seclusion in Qingshen, devoted himself to cultivation, and never left the mountain again..."

"More than 88 years have passed, and there has been no news of Duan Qiuping's death in Qingshen. This person should still be alive. According to the records of our association, Duan Qiuping is now years old, which is not normal..."

"Among the six friends of Longtan, Duan Qiuping and Liu Changqing had a relationship, so you should know what I want to say..."

Hu Kai just mentioned it briefly and stopped talking here.

Chen Yang's expression was slightly serious.

How come there are so many people involved, just Liu Changqing?
Even the Qingshen Sect, one of the five sects of Panshan, was involved.

"However, you don't have to worry too much. Since you have joined the association, you will naturally be protected by the association. If there are any unusual movements on Qingshen's side, we will know about it immediately and inform you."

Hu Kai smiled slightly, as a comfort to Chen Yang.

He told Chen Yang all this just to fulfill his duty of reminder. The thing might not necessarily happen, but if it did, it would be good for Chen Yang to know what was going on so that he would not be confused.

"Thank you, Brother Hu."

Chen Yang smiled in response and changed the address.

"You are the person recommended by Liu Guotou, so you are also my friend, Hu Kai. I am a few years older than you, so I will call you Xiaoyang."

Hu Kai also seized the opportunity and took the initiative to bring him closer. "You are so young, but you have such a high level of cultivation. Liu Guotou highly respects you, and the association also values ​​you very much. If you have the chance, you can go to Baoguo Temple more often. It will only benefit you..."

"Yes, I will. Thanks for the tip, Brother Hu."

Of course Chen Yang understood that Hu Kai wanted him to get to know the senior figures of the association, build up his connections, and find a backer.

However, Chen Yang is not a person who likes to do this.

Even your network of connections can be unreliable at times.

A blacksmith must be strong himself, and as for the rest, just go with the flow. It is not his character to actively curry favor with the powerful.

Hu Kai chatted with him about some random things. On the other side, Jiang Rong couldn't wait any longer and urged him to get in the car.

After saying goodbye, Hu Kai exchanged phone numbers with Chen Yang, got in the car and drove away.

……

One of the Six Friends of Longtan, is that Duan Qiuping?
Chen Yang scratched his head, feeling as if one problem was solved before another one arose.

However, not many people know that Liu Changqing’s death was related to him.

Apart from Liu Henghu, there were also some members of the Mountain Driving Association.

Liu Henghu would never betray him, but the same could not be said about the Ganshan Association.

If the Qingshen Sect is really involved in this matter, it might be quite troublesome.

It seems that he needs to find an opportunity to understand the situation of the Qingshen Sect. He doesn't want to fight an unprepared battle.

Regardless of whether the Qingshen Sect would take any action, he had to make preparations in advance and be prepared for a rainy day.

Moreover, since they were the Six Friends of Longtan, Ding Huanchun’s brothers and sisters, and people like Ding Huanchun and Liu Changqing were all dead, how could there be someone still alive in the world?
Given Chen Yang's hatred for the Ding family, he must send them to reunite down there. Shouldn't sworn brotherhood be a relationship of living and dying together?

"Yang Wa Zi!"

Chen Yang was standing at the intersection, clenching his fists when a voice came from behind him.

He looked back and saw a staggering figure, leaning on a cane, walking towards him from the path beside the bamboo forest.

Chen Anmin!
"Grandfather!"

Chen Yang hurried over and helped him to the road.

Chen Anmin and Chen Yang's great-grandfather are of the same generation, have the same grandfather, and are cousins.

Chen Jingzhi wanted to call him Fifth Uncle.

Among the Chen family in the village, Chen Anmin is now the one with the highest seniority.

He has no children or wife, and the village has applied for a five-guarantee household for him. He usually lives alone in an old house in Baitangao behind the village and seldom goes out.

He was still wearing the same blue linen shirt and an apron tied around his waist, as if he was dressed the same way all year round.

He is over 90 years old and his back is completely hunched. He can't straighten his back when walking and he is out of breath.

"Who came just now?"

Chen Anmin didn't care and just sat down on the stone steps by the roadside, leaning on his crutches with both hands, and asked Chen Yang.

A pair of eyes, old and cloudy.

"Two friends."

Chen Yang's answer was somewhat perfunctory, and there was really no need to answer this question.

Chen Anmin didn't care. He just looked at Chen Yang and said, "A few days ago, I asked you to come to my old house when you were free. Why didn't you come? Do you think the old man is shabby?"

Uh……

Chen Yang was stunned by the question.

"No."

Chen Yang waved his hands and said quickly, "How dare I complain that the old ancestor is shabby? The old ancestor is not shabby at all. It's just that I was too busy recently and forgot..."

"Busy? Busy for what?"

Chen Anmin had a serious look on his face and tapped the ground with his cane, seeming a little angry.

His reaction made Chen Yang a little confused.

"Grandfather..."

Chen Yang wanted to explain, but Chen Anmin shook his head and said in a slower tone, "You haven't eaten yet, right?"

"not yet."

"Come on, let's eat at my place."

Chen Anmin said something in a commanding tone, without giving anyone time to discuss the matter, and stood up with his crutches, then hobbled back toward the road.

Chen Yang had no choice but to rush over to support him.

It would be terrible if this happened and got angry.

……

Behind the village is Baitangao. There is a large pond with a few willow trees beside it.

The wind blew, the willow branches swayed, and created ripples on the water.

There is an old house on a flat piece of land near the pond, which is slightly higher and close to the hillside.

The wooden mud house is many, many years old, older than Chen Anmin.

There was a lot of firewood piled up against the wall. Although the house was shabby, it was very clean and not dirty at all.

Although this old man lives alone, he is a very particular person.

Chen Anmin went to the kitchen and brought Chen Yang a bowl of white rice and a bowl of tofu pudding.

In the yard, there is a wooden table.

"Just eat what you can. This is all we have here, old ancestor."

Chen Anmin said this, then he grabbed a handful of peanuts, took a bottle of wine and started drinking.

Chen Yang was too embarrassed to say no, so he started eating without any hesitation.

The breeze was blowing by the pond, and the tofu pudding tasted sweet in my mouth. It felt really good.

He looked up at Chen Anmin.

Chen Anmin was drinking while staring at the pond outside. He was obviously distracted. I wonder what he was thinking about?
Chen Yang was a little confused in his heart. He didn't have much interaction with this old ancestor. He called him here, but he didn't know what he wanted to say to him.

"Grandfather?"

Chen Yang called out to him, "What are you thinking about?"

Chen Anmin turned around and looked at him, "Yang, how long have you been back?"

"A month or two?"

"Well, you've changed a lot in the past month or two."

Chen Anmin said something incomprehensible.

Chen Yang looked at him strangely, "Grandfather, do you have anything to say to me?"

"Hey."

Chen Anmin smiled and said, "The little guy is quite perceptive. Yes, there are a lot of things I want to say, but I just don't know where to start."

Chen Yang put down his chopsticks and looked at the old man in front of him seriously.

He is the cousin of my great-grandfather Chen Tongsheng. I think he should be more clear about what happened back then.

Chen Anmin took a sip of wine and said, "I heard from Qinzhou that Yingyue has woken up. Have you seen her?"

"Ah."

"She gave it to you?"

Chen Yang paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, Grandpa, do you know what she gave me?"

Chen Anmin said, "If I give it to you, just keep it. No matter what it is, you will be able to use it when the time comes..."

Even playing charades.

What is there to hide? Just tell me what you have to say. Why go through all this beating around the bush?
Chen Yang really doesn't like the situation where someone clearly knows something but deliberately doesn't tell you, and insists on telling half of it and hiding the other half.

But the other party was his ancestor, so Chen Yang could only persuade him, "How about you wait for a while, I will go back and get the things, you are knowledgeable, help me take a look..."

He pretended to leave.

Chen Anmin raised his hand to stop him, "You little rascal."

Of course he knew that Chen Yang did it on purpose.

After taking a sip of wine, Chen Anmin said, "I only heard from your great-grandfather that the stone slab was given to him by Blind Pang before he died. It is a legacy of successive generations of Shan Yu. If you want to uncover the secrets contained in it, you must reach the spiritual realm..."

"Must be in the spiritual realm?"

Chen Anmin nodded, "That's right, it's a pity that your great grandfather never reached that level until his death, and he couldn't figure out the secret..."

"Ding Huanchun and his gang caused a lot of trouble for your great grandfather because of this thing. Later, your great grandfather knew that this thing would bring endless troubles to the Chen family. But the thing passed down to him by Blind Pang must not fall into the hands of Ding Huanchun and his gang. So, he gave it to Zhao girl to take away. After decades of wandering around, it is back again."

Chen Anmin was deeply moved.

Chen Yang took a deep breath and said, "Grandfather, you should know a lot about Ding Huanchun and his gang, right?"

"The Six Friends of Longtan!"

Chen Anmin sucked his teeth and spat on the ground, "What a bunch of rotten-hearted, damned fellows, who never do good things but always do bad things. What are you calling the Six Friends of Longtan? Humph, they are more like the Six Ugly Phlegm."

He spoke excitedly, but in the end, he started cursing.

Thick phlegm six ugly things?

The old man is quite talented!
Next, Chen Anmin started talking and told Chen Yang some things related to the Six Friends of Longtan.

Around 58, six people led by Ding Huanchun gathered at Longtan Temple in the provincial capital and were known as the Six Friends of Longtan.

All six of them were very outstanding rising stars in the Panshan world, and they quickly made a great name for themselves in the Panshan world across the country.

But unfortunately, they all have a bad reputation. In that era, there were many taboos in the mountain climbing world. The country had regulations on which mountains could be climbed and which could not be climbed, what could be done and what could not be done.

But these six people seemed to be born to break the taboos and repeatedly crossed the bottom line. Things like killing people to raise spirits and setting fires to steal treasures were all understated. The most exaggerated incident was when these six people were so arrogant that they went to Pan Qixingdui.

It was this trip to Qixingdui that turned the six friends of Longtan, who were once famous in the martial arts world, into the six ugly men of thick phlegm in Chen Anmin's mouth.

The third brother, Zhao Junting, died in Qixingdui. Six people went there, but only five came back.

Soon, Ding Huanchun and others were wanted by the authorities and became public enemies of the entire Panshan community.

The Zhao family cut ties with Zhao Junting as soon as possible, fearing that they would get into trouble. The remaining forces, both large and small, that had connections with the Six Friends of Longtan also stepped forward to draw a clear line between themselves and the others.

All of a sudden he became a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to kill.

At this time, the Qingshen lineage stood up to protect Duan Qiuping, which gave the Ding family and other families hope. So they made some moves and pushed all the faults onto the dead Zhao Junting, claiming that they were just bewitched and accomplices, thereby reducing their guilt.

Afterwards, Ding Huanchun was sent to Jiapiqiao for reform, and was involved in many subsequent events with the Chen family.

According to Chen Anmin, among the Six Friends of Longtan, he only knew that two of them had died.

One was Zhao Junting who had died in Qixingdui a long time ago, and the other was Yang Dongguan who committed crimes again later and set fire to Erlang Temple and killed people.

As for the remaining four, after so many years, he had no idea whether they were dead or alive.

The peanuts were finished and the bottle of wine was empty. Chen Anmin's voice was a little low. Although many years had passed, it was obvious that he still harbored great hatred towards these people.

Chen Yang said, "Ding Huanchun is dead, and Liu Changqing is also dead."

"Well?"

Chen Anmin was startled, raised his drunken eyes and looked at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang did not hide anything and told Chen Anmin about the situation of Ding Huanchun and Liu Changqing.

After listening to this, Chen Anmin paused for a moment, then smiled, "Good, very good, very good, Yang boy, this is the best news I have heard today..."

Although it was many years late, it was indeed good news for him.

Ding Huanchun committed many evil deeds and was killed by the horse gang. His body was left in the wilderness and no one knew about it. It could be said that it was retribution.

Although Liu Changqing survived for many years, he eventually fell into the hands of Chen Yang and died in frustration. This was also the cycle of cause and effect and retribution.

He picked up the bottle, poured the remaining wine into the bowl, and drank it in one gulp.

You can see that it's really refreshing.

Chen Yang said, "There are two people left. One is Duan Qiuping from Qingshen. This person is very likely still alive. I heard that she seems to have a good relationship with Liu Changqing..."

"Ah."

Chen Anmin thought for a while before saying, "Duan Qiuping, she's quite pretty."

Chen Yang's face trembled. He didn't expect to hear such a sentence after waiting for such a long time.

"What a pity. The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is."

Chen Anmin's eyes seemed to show something vicious, and he was slightly agitated.

Chen Yang didn't know what he recalled. Seeing him like this, he didn't dare to ask further, for fear that he might pass out if he wasn't careful.

Chen Anmin took a few breaths before calming down, "Are you afraid that she will cause trouble for you?"

"I'm not afraid of her coming, I'm just afraid of her not coming."

Chen Yang shook his head. "If she dares to come to me, it will be a good opportunity to settle all the old and new grudges. Four of the six friends of Longtan have died. How can the remaining two survive?"

"Don't underestimate her."

Seeing him so confident, Chen Anmin thought he was just a young and inexperienced person, so he immediately reminded him, "Duan Qiuping is the descendant of the leader of the Qingshen Sect. She is gifted and entered the spiritual realm at the age of 25. With the support of Qingshen, she has been practicing for so many years. If she is still alive, I don't know how much her strength has improved. It's not as simple as you think..."

Chen Yang took a deep breath.

What the old ancestor said was indeed true, but the Mountain-Gan Association did not have any accurate information about Duan Qiuping, and there was no way of knowing what level this person's cultivation had reached.

This made Chen Yang feel uneasy.
