Sword from Songshan

Chapter 14 Sword Manual!

The old man walked very fast, climbing over walls and houses as if he were walking on flat ground. Lu Nanxing and the other man, whose leg strength had been honed by years of going into the mountains, could not keep up at all.

Fortunately, the old man had no intention of getting rid of them. He would stop and wait at certain distances with a sneer of contempt on his face.

After running for nearly two hours, it was already late at night.

"arrive."

The old man suddenly stopped, said something, and then climbed over the wall into the yard in front of him.

Lu Nanxing and Wang Tiandong looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion.

If this is the old man’s home, why bother climbing over the wall?

If this is not the old man's home, and he says he comes to take the silver, how is he going to do it? Is he going to rob him?

Bang! Crash!

Just when I was feeling nervous, I suddenly heard the sound of a fierce fight in the yard.

The two of them widened their eyes instantly. It really was snatched away!
But if you wanted to rob, why did you run so far and have to rob this one?
From the outside, it looks like just an ordinary courtyard, not a wealthy one. Not to mention one thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid even a hundred taels can't be extorted.

"Stopped?"

In just a moment, the fighting sound inside stopped abruptly.

The two looked at each other again, feeling more and more uneasy.

Crunch~!

At this time, the courtyard gate opened, and the old man came out. He stood at the door and sneered at the two of them.

"Don't you want silver? Come on."

"..."

Lu Nanxing frowned, could it be that the place had become a crime scene?

"Let's go! Let's go in!"

Wang Tiandong gritted his teeth and said this, then pulled Lu Nanxing inside.

Since we're already here, why not go in and take a look?

Lu Nanxing took a deep breath and walked into the yard with Wang Tiandong.

"Ah~!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, Wang Tiandong let out a cry of surprise.

In the messy courtyard, a man was lying on his back with a sword beside him. Blood was oozing from his mouth and nose, and there was a large dent in his chest. He was already dead.

Killed!

"It's him!"

Lu Nanxing was mentally prepared, but when he saw the man on the ground clearly, his face changed instantly.

It was Bingchen, the secret agent of Songshan Sect who stopped them during the day!

How could it be such a coincidence? Lu Nanxing suddenly turned to the old man at the door.

The old man looked at them with amusement, as if smiling.

"What, do you know me?"

"do not know."

"It's a pity, but it doesn't matter. Go back and say hello to Sect Leader Zuo for me."

The old man laughed twice, then turned and left.

"silver……"

"Money is more important than life!"

Wang Tiandong subconsciously wanted to chase him, but Lu Nanxing quickly grabbed him and glared at him fiercely.

Wang Tiandong finally came to his senses and stood there with a look of resentment on his face.

what happened?

After the old man left, Lu Nanxing frowned as he looked at the corpse on the ground.

Why did the old man want to kill Bingchen, and why did he bring them both to see it?
"……I see!"

After pondering for a moment, Lu Nanxing figured it out.

Bingchen was the secret agent of Songshan Sect, and the two of them claimed to be disciples of Songshan Sect. Killing Bingchen in front of them was just to show Songshan Sect how powerful they were!
Bingchen had said before that the Yellow River Gang had already suspected his identity, so he was under close surveillance and could not leave Kaifeng City.

The person who killed him at this time should be from the Yellow River Gang.

"The Yellow River Gang...it's him!"

Lu Nanxing suddenly remembered that the other party had always called himself an old man.

I thought it was an age description, but now it seems that it should be a name!

The leader of the Yellow River Gang is surnamed Zhang, and is said to be the brother-in-law of the Kaifeng prefect, but it is hard to tell whether this is true or not.

But above the leader, the Yellow River Gang actually has two supreme elders, who are highly skilled in martial arts and are quite famous in the Yellow River area. It is precisely because of these two supreme elders that the Yellow River Gang can run rampant in Kaifeng.

The two great elders, one surnamed Zu, named Zong, with the character Qianqiu, and the other surnamed Lao, named Ye, with the character Touzi, both of them were called the Yellow River Ancestors, which was a double entendre. The man just now called himself the old man, since he was a member of the Yellow River Gang and had such martial arts, he must be the old man among the Yellow River Ancestors!

Yes, the old man has a daughter named Lao Wushi, who was born with deficiencies and needed precious medicinal materials to make eight life-extending pills. It makes sense that the old man snatched the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.

In fact, the Yellow River Gang was doing well in robbing and robbery, but suddenly they started the medicinal materials business. In addition to the intention of cleansing themselves up, it was also to make it easier for the old man to find various precious medicinal materials.

"It turned out to be him."

After sorting out all of this, Lu Nanxing sighed.

I originally just went into the city to sell medicine, but I didn't expect to encounter so many twists and turns in one day, and I even met the old man.

You should know that in the original novel, as the heroine's loyal henchman, the old man has good martial arts skills and has quite a few roles.

"Fortunately."

At the same time, Lu Nanxing was secretly glad.

The old man killed Bingchen to demonstrate to the Songshan Sect, but he did not kill them both.

As for the reason, it is actually easy to understand.

As a hidden agent, Bingchen's identity would not be recognized, and now that he is dead, Songshan Sect can't say anything. In addition, Songshan Sect was in the wrong to insert gaps into the Yellow River Gang.

But Lu Nanxing is different. He is nominally a disciple of the Songshan School, although it is a fake.

The old man knew that he was a disciple of Songshan Sect, but he still killed him, which was tantamount to declaring war on Songshan Sect.

The Yellow River Gang is about to surrender to the Sun Moon Sect. The old man has this to rely on, but he dares only demonstrate a few times. It is impossible for him to really fight directly with the Songshan Sect.

"What are you doing!"

Just as Lu Nanxing was thinking, Wang Tiandong suddenly walked into the room and started searching.

"Looking for money! The Lingzhi is gone, I have to get some back!"

Wang Tiandong's face was full of resentment, and he started rummaging through the drawers again.

"silver……"

Lu Nanxing was slightly stunned. Yes, Bingchen was dead, and his things were now ownerless.

As a disciple of the Yellow River Gang in public and a secret agent of the Songshan Sect in private, he should have some wealth.

"Excuse me!"

Thinking of this, Lu Nanxing said something, then rushed into the house and started searching around.

How big could three tiled houses be? In less than half an hour, the two men had turned everything upside down.

Lu Nanxing dug out a purse from the broken basket under the bed, which contained about forty or fifty taels of silver.

Wang Tiandong found a secret compartment behind a painting and took out a sword manual without a name!

The two men stood opposite each other, Lu Nanxing looked at the sword manual in Wang Tiandong's hand, and Wang Tiandong stared at the purse in Lu Nanxing's hand, both of them had burning eyes.

"Change!"

The next moment, the two of them spoke in unison and exchanged words immediately.

Wang Tiandong opened the purse and saw the white silver inside, his face immediately broke into smiles.

Lu Nanxing opened the sword manual and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

That’s right, this is Songshan Sword Technique!

Although there was no name on the cover, he knew that the moves such as 'Wan Yue Chao Zong' and 'Straight to the Mountain' were the famous Songshan Sword Technique!
Bingchen is Sun Dazhong's disciple. As a secret agent, although Sun Dazhong did not have the opportunity to teach him personally, it was reasonable for him to leave him a sword manual and let him practice secretly.

"gone!"

Just when Lu Nanxing was happy, Wang Tiandong said something and walked out.

Don't forget, this is the crime scene. These two have gained benefits, why don't they leave quickly.

Wang Tiandong walked hurriedly in front, and Lu Nanxing lagged behind a few steps. When passing by Bingchen's body, he suddenly stopped.

He squatted down and closed Bingchen's eyes, then fumbled in his arms, with a smile on his face, and took out half a copper coin.

Then he stood up, picked up the sword that had fallen beside him, walked out of the yard quickly and caught up with Wang Tiandong.

"Where are we going now?"

It was late at night and the city gates had long been closed.

Since we are going to stay in the city for one night, we have to find a place to stay.

"Go to Chen Qi's house!"

Wang Tiandong had a gloomy expression and snorted coldly.

"He stole my Ganoderma! He has to give some of it back! He must be a thief, so he must have a lot of money at home!"

"Damn it, you scholars are still poisonous."

Looking at Wang Tiandong with a sinister look on his face, Lu Nanxing couldn't help but click his tongue.

Chen Aqi was hit by the old man and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. So Lu Nanxing and the others can take whatever they want from his house.
