The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 166 The Truth
"You seem to have said just now that they are not your subordinates, and you cannot force them to do anything."

Shen Youzhi looked at the crowd who dispersed in a hurry, then glanced at the old knife handle, and said.

"I just said something to you, and I didn't force them to do anything."

Even if the lie was exposed on the spot, the old swordsman didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"You can say whatever you want, but don't forget the bet between us."

"do not worry."

Having said so much, Shen Youzhi didn't need to stay any longer, and turned around and left this ghostly villa with Gongsun Lan.

The old knife handle wearing a bamboo hat looked at the backs of the two leaving, with a strange look in his deep eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

On the way back, Shen Youzhi didn't meet the stone crane that blocked the way before.

The other party seemed to be avoiding him on purpose.

And after leaving Ghost Villa, Gongsun Lan was finally able to ask the doubts in her heart——

"Who is that mysterious old knife handle?"

"It's Taoist Mu." Shen Youzhi spoke bluntly.

"It's him?!" Gongsun Lan exclaimed subconsciously.

Mu Taoist is the uncle of Shi Yan, the head of Wudang, and the elder with the highest seniority in Wudang, and his reputation and prestige in the Jianghu are even more extraordinary.

Having already achieved great success, why did he build such a ghostly villa in secret, and why did he gather that group of scum?
If this kind of thing is exposed, not only will his reputation accumulated all his life be destroyed, even the whole Wudang will become the target of public criticism!

Seeing that she was puzzled, Shen Youzhi immediately told Mu Taoist's past events one by one.

The more Gongsun Lan listened, the more she frowned.

"Mu Taoist's reputation in Jianghu has long been known, why is he still obsessed with being the head of Wudang?"

Mu Taoist is a famous martial artist, he has already achieved fame.

Now his prestige in Jianghu has already surpassed that of the head of Wudang by an unknown amount.

The name of the head of the sect is of little value to him at all.

That being the case, why is he still obsessed with it?
"What's more, he is already over seventy years old, so what if he becomes the head of the sect?
Is it really worth it to not even recognize one's own biological children for this purpose? "

Gongsun Lan didn't understand where the obsession in Taoist Mu's heart came from.

"Whether it's worth it has nothing to do with value, it just depends on people's hearts." Shen Youzhi said: "It's like when people grow up, they still often miss the toys they accidentally lost when they were young.

In the eyes of others, it may be worthless, but in my own opinion, it is a regret that can never be made up. "

"So what Taoist Mu really pursues is not the fame and status brought by the head of Wudang, but to make up for the regrets of his youth?" Gongsun Lan seemed to understand a little.

"That's right." Shen Youzhi nodded slightly.

In the very beginning, Taoist Mu didn't actually have the idea of ​​creating a ghost villa.

Because he had already passed on his regrets to his apprentice Shi He, hoping that Shi He could become the new head of Wudang and make up for his regrets.

Unfortunately, Shi He also made the same mistake as Mu Taoist, so he failed to become the head of Wudang.

It wasn't until the heirs he cultivated by himself also failed that Mu Daocai began to have the idea of ​​establishing the ghost villa and launching the "Tianlei Action".

Because he has no time to train the next generation of heirs.

"Mu Taoist married his wife to his apprentice, but was cuckolded by his wife, who do you think is sorry for the other?"

It has to be said that women's focus is always different from that of men, and they pay special attention to this complex ethical relationship.

So after knowing the whole story, Gongsun Lan didn't comment too much on Lao Daobazi's secret establishment of the Ghost Villa, but was very interested in the past between him and Shen Sanniang.

Shen Youzhi shook his head helplessly when he heard her question.

"There is also that Ye Lingfeng, who was first forced by his master to be a living bastard, and then turned his master into an old bastard."

Although there was no response, Gongsun Lan started to speculate on her own.

Moreover, the questions she was thinking about basically revolved around the complex ethical relationship between Mu Daoren, Shen Sanniang, and Ye Lingfeng.

"gone!"

Shen Youzhi has no interest in this kind of thing, Dang even interrupted her thoughts, and then continued to stride forward.

Seeing this, Gongsun Lan, who came back to her senses, immediately followed quickly.

But on the way back, she still brought up those weird ethical issues with Shen Youzhi from time to time.

A few days later, Xiaolou
Not long after Shen Youzhi came back, Lu Xiaofeng came to the door again.

"It's the first time I know that it's so difficult to see you." Lu Xiaofeng suddenly sighed.

In the past, whenever he came to this small building, Liu Mengxun would definitely be here.

However, these days, not only did he not see Liu Mengxun, he even couldn't see half of him.

Faced with Lu Xiaofeng's teasing, Shen Youzhi picked up the teacup on the table in a leisurely manner, gently blew away the floating leaves on the surface, and then took a sip.

"A busy person like you, if he didn't encounter any troublesome things, I'm afraid he wouldn't be in a hurry to see me." Shen You's words revealed Lu Xiaofeng's reason for coming.

"You guessed right, I was just in a hurry to ask you for help." Lu Xiaofeng also admitted very generously.

It is common to ask a friend for help, so why not ask for help?
"Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I really don't have time recently."

Before Shen Youzhi waited for Lu Xiaofeng to tell the reason, he rejected him first.

This made Lu Xiaofeng a little surprised, before when he came to Liu Mengxun for help, the other party would always give him a helping hand, and he had never refused so categorically like today.

"I haven't said what it is yet!" Lu Xiaofeng felt helpless.

"No matter what it is, I don't have time." Shen Youzhi explained: "On the eighteenth day of next month, there will be a sword fight between me and Taoist Mu, and the place will be above the Qiantang River tide."

"Sword fight?" Lu Xiaofeng was startled, and asked, "When did you make the agreement?"

"A few days ago."

a few days ago.
"So you weren't at home a few days ago, just went to find Taoist Mu?" Lu Xiaofeng suddenly realized.

"That's right." Shen Youzhi nodded.

"Although Taoist Mu's martial arts are top-notch, but since you have comprehended the fourth level of 'extreme hair storage', is there still a need to fight him?" Lu Xiaofeng asked again.

In his opinion, in today's arena, only the "sword god" Ximen Chuuxue who has abandoned his mortal nature can fight Liu Mengxun, and the rest seem to be a little behind.

"Mu Taoist's martial arts are by no means weaker than Ximen Chuuxue." Shen Youzhi said.

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help frowning slightly.

He had fought against Taoist Mu before, and had once pinched Taoist Mu's sword with his "spiritual finger", but he didn't feel that the opponent's swordsmanship was comparable to that of Ximen Chuuxue.
