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

Chapter 275 The Yang family’s ancestral sword?
"Mr. Yang, do you still count what you said before?"

In a teahouse on the third floor, Chen Yang wiped his hands with a wet tissue, "It's better to give a definite answer, otherwise I don't know what attitude I should have when I meet someone from your Yang family in the future..."

"It counts, of course it counts!"

Yang Wenhui waved his hand to stop Chen Yang from talking. "What happened today was just an accident. The child at home is useless and lacks discipline. Don't bother with him. When I get back, I will give him a good lesson..."

He glanced at Qinzhou, feeling rather helpless. "Speaking of which, today's incident cannot be entirely blamed on him. His uncle, Zhuang Bufan, died in Pangpoling that year. Brother Qin should still remember him, right?"

Qin Zhou was wiping the porridge off his body. He paused when he heard the words and shook his head. "I'm old and my memory is bad. I can't remember things that happened so long ago!"

Looking at him, it doesn't look like he doesn't remember.

Back then, the Yang family had trouble with him because of Yang Dongguan's affairs, but he buried a lot of people in the end. This led to decades of grievances between Qinzhou and the Yang family.

This Zhuang Bufan is probably one of them.

"This child has hatred in his heart, so his behavior is extreme, but it is actually understandable!" Yang Wenhui said.

So that's how it is. But it's no wonder that Yang Jie is so hostile to Qinzhou.

Chen Yang said, "Old Yang, this happened several decades ago, and Old Qin has been tormented by you all these years. Since we have agreed to write it off, please keep your promise and restrain your clansmen. This time, for Old Yang's sake, we can treat it as a justifiable situation and not bother with him. However, if something similar happens again in the future, I cannot guarantee that we can cover it up as easily as we did today..."

Yang Wenhui waved his hand and said, "I will warn the people in the clan. If there is anyone who is disobedient and provokes you, you don't have to worry. Just give them a good beating and notify me to pick them up..."

Clean up a meal?
It's easy to say, is it as simple as just cleaning up a meal?

Chen Yang didn't say much. There was no point in talking about this.

Yang Wenhui changed the subject, "The day before yesterday, I spoke to your grandfather on the phone. I heard that his illness has been cured. He shouldn't be fooling me, right?"

Chen Yang said, "He found an old doctor in our town and picked up some medicine. He went to the hospital for a checkup some time ago and was indeed fully recovered. During this time, he has been recuperating in the provincial capital!"

"That's good!"

Yang Wenhui nodded. "Good luck will come to those who are lucky. This old guy is not going to die young. After the exchange meeting is over, I will go to the provincial capital to visit him. I haven't seen him for many years..."

During the conversation, the atmosphere relaxed a lot, and Yang Wenhui looked towards Qinzhou.

He had mixed feelings towards Qinzhou.

It is true that several members of the Yang family died because of Qinzhou, but as I said before, if the Yang family had not caused trouble for Qinzhou, no one would have died. If Qinzhou had not hidden the things left by Yang Dongguan, the Qin family would not have caused trouble for him.

After so many years of entanglement of cause and effect, it is difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong.

Qinzhou has been in Taiwan for so many years that many people in the Yang family have forgotten the existence of this person.

Now, when the old matter is brought up again, the hatred is no longer as strong as it was back then. In exchange for resolving this hatred, a favor is obtained from the Wu family, who lend the Five Poison Pool to create a strong man in the realm of creation for the Yang family.

For the current Yang family, it is a profit.

The big families have always been concerned about interests.

It can be said that Qinzhou is just a small character in front of the Yang family. If they really want to kill him, it won’t take much effort.

There is no point in continuing to tangle with him. It is absolutely top priority for the Yang family to produce a person at the level of Creation.

Resolving this hatred only requires a few words. Given Yang Wenhui's status in the Yang family, what he says is still effective.

However, conflicts can be resolved, but some things still need to be made clear.

"Brother Qin, for so many years, I have always wanted to talk to you in person, but I just never had the chance!"

Yang Wenhui has a scholarly temperament and speaks in a gentle tone.

"If you really want to talk about it, you still have to call me Senior Brother. You can also be considered half a member of our Yang family..."

"I can't afford this!"

Qinzhou waved his hand.

He had worshipped Yang Dongguan in the past, and Yang Dongguan had taught him some skills, but Yang Dongguan had given him a lot of trouble back then. Over the years, he had never considered Yang Dongguan as his master.

He didn't want to have anything to do with the Yang family anymore.

Yang Wenhui smiled faintly, "None of this is important. What's important is, what did you hide from us back then, Brother Qin?"

He looked directly at Qinzhou, his smile gradually faded and became serious.

Qinzhou frowned when he heard this.

Just as he was about to say something, Yang Wenhui spoke first, "You don't have to deny it. Let's be frank. Before Fourth Uncle died, it was you who collected his belongings. Is there any problem with that?"

Qinzhou did not answer.

"Brother Qin, today we are just having a normal chat. Since I have said that the grudges between our two families are written off, whether you say it today or not, our Yang family will not pursue it anymore..."

Yang Wenhui patiently persuaded Qinzhou, and it seemed that he really wanted to open his heart to Qinzhou.

Qinzhou glanced at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang just drank his tea calmly. This matter was between Qinzhou and the Yang family. His current identity was just a bystander and witness.

Qin Zhou hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Ask whatever you want to know, but I'm old and my memory is not good, so I'm afraid I can't remember some things."

As soon as he let go, a smile appeared on Yang Wenhui's face.

Yang Wenhui said, "The ancestral sword Chixiao of our Yang family was taken away by our fourth uncle. After his death, its whereabouts were lost..."

Qin Zhou raised his hand to interrupt him and said seriously, "Now that it has come to this, I won't hide it from you. I have indeed seen the sword you mentioned..."

"Yang Dongguan always carried it with him. After he was captured, I did find this sword among his belongings. I knew that this sword had an extraordinary origin, so I buried it at the Eagle's Beak Cliff of Pangpoling..."

"Then you came to me and asked for the sword. I wanted to dig out the sword and give it to you to make peace. However, when I went to look for the sword, I found that the place where I hid the sword had been dug up and the sword had disappeared..."

"I explained the situation to your people, but they didn't believe me at all..."

Speaking of this, Qinzhou sighed repeatedly, feeling helpless and resentful.

The same argument had been made before, so Yang Wenhui was not surprised by his words.

Qin Zhou said, "Even if you ask me a hundred times, I will still say this. I also took your people to see the place where the sword was buried. Now that I am half buried in the ground, do you think I should lie to you?"

Yang Wenhui pondered and said, "It's not like we haven't investigated before. According to what you said, you are the only one who knows where the sword is buried. So why was it dug up by someone else? Who is the person who dug the sword? You must have a suspect, right?"

Qin Zhou smiled bitterly, "You're putting me in a difficult position. I'm not a detective. God knows who dug it up. It's not certain that it was someone from your Yang family..."

When Yang Wenhui heard this, his face trembled slightly.

Qinzhou insisted on saying this and he had no choice.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now."

Yang Wenhui waved his hand and turned to talk about something else. "Before Fourth Uncle was arrested, he wrote a letter to our family. The letter mentioned two things. We have already discussed these two things with you. The Three Corpse God Tree and a secret treasure brought out from the Seven Stars Pile..."

"He wanted his family to rescue him, so he only said that these two items existed, but he did not leave the whereabouts of these two treasures in the letter..."

Having said that, Yang Wenhui looked directly at Qinzhou, trying to see something in his eyes.

But unfortunately, Qinzhou had squint eyes and didn't even look him in the eye.

This might be the advantage of squinting eyes. No one can tell from his eyes whether he is guilty or not.

"You are his apprentice, the last person to follow him. He should have told you something, right?" Yang Wenhui said.

Qinzhou said, "Brother Yang San, let me ask you, if you were Yang Dongguan, would you tell such a secret to others casually?"

Yang Wenhui paused.

"What's more, the relationship between him and I is not as close as you think. With his strength, if he had taught me some skills seriously, I wouldn't be over seventy years old before I entered the first level..." When Qinzhou said this, he seemed to think of the past, and a trace of hostility flashed across his face.

It can be seen that he really hates Yang Dongguan.

Yang Wenhui said, "Even if he didn't tell you, he should have kept a record of it. He knew he was going to die, so he shouldn't have taken the secret to the grave..."

"Hey."

Qin Zhou shook his head repeatedly. "No matter what I say, you won't believe it, Third Brother Yang. I was just an ordinary person back then. If I really knew the secrets you told me, how could I have ended up like this after so many years?"

Yang Wenhui frowned.

Just when he was about to say something else, Chen Yang interrupted, "Mr. Yang, actually, have you ever thought that you were going in the wrong direction from the beginning?"

"Hmm?" Yang Wenhui raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Yang. "What do you think?"

Chen Yang said, "You are now in a misunderstanding. You are sure that Old Man Qin knows something because he was the last person to come into contact with Yang Dongguan. What sword, what tree, what Qixingdui secret treasure you mentioned, Yang Dongguan could only tell him, but is it really the case?"

"As far as I know, Yang Dongguan is one of the six friends of Longtan. The six friends of Longtan are sworn brothers and sisters. Do you think it is possible that the other five know the inside story?"

"Instead of questioning Old Man Qin, why don't you go find those five people? They should be more reliable than Old Man Qin, right?"

……

Chen Yang's words made Yang Wenhui smile bitterly.

"The Six Friends of Longtan?"

He shook his head. "Not long ago, I heard that Liu Changqing also died. There are only two or three people who may still be alive. The first one is Ding Huanchun, whose whereabouts are unknown; the second one is Duan Qiuping, who has been living in Qingshen; the third one is Li Changsheng, who is imprisoned in Fenghuangshan Prison..."

"The only person we can see is Li Changsheng. We have visited him several times over the years. He became crazy after being imprisoned. He doesn't recognize people at all and we can't get anything out of him."

……

Chen Yang said, "They still have descendants, right? Maybe their descendants know something?"

Yang Wenhui waved his hand, "Forget it, let's stop here for today!"

As if he was suddenly tired, he turned to Qin Zhou and said, "Brother Qin, if you remember anything, you can contact me at any time..."

The young man behind him stood up and handed over a business card.

"Brother Qin, I see that your divine light is dim and your breath is blocked. I think you have a hidden injury in your body, and it seems that it is not light. Our Yang family happens to have a secret medicine handed down from our ancestors that can cure hidden injuries that have not been cured for a long time. It's a pity that I came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring it with me. When I return, I will have someone send it to you. I hope we can become friends in the future!"

After he said that, he turned and left.

Qinzhou was left confused.

"What does he mean?"

It took Qinzhou a while to come back to his senses, but there was still some confusion on his face.

"Didn't you hear? He wants to be friends with you!" Chen Yang said.

make friends?
People from the Yang family want to be friends with me?
Qinzhou felt a bit dramatic, as if a weasel was wishing a happy new year to a chicken.

He also said that he would send me medicine to heal my wounds. Could the people in the Yang family be so kind?
It's not that he is ungrateful and doesn't know how to appreciate a good person. The truth is, they have a grudge against each other.

Even if we have reconciled now, we are still not at the point where we can still be friends.

It can only be said that Yang Wenhui still had some extravagant hopes for him, and still did not believe what he said, thinking that he was hiding something.

Don't judge things by appearances. You may think that the other person is trying to please you, but in fact, he is suspicious of you and is laying the groundwork for what's to come.

Chen Yang looked at Qin Zhou with a strange look, "Old man, you are not honest!"

Qin Zhou frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about? What's wrong with you?"

"I don't know anything else, but you know the whereabouts of the Three Corpse God Tree, right? Why didn't you tell him?"

"Didn't you take over the conversation? If you hadn't interrupted, I might have told him everything!"

Qinzhou blew his beard, feeling a little unhappy.

Chen Yang laughed. So, blame me?
"What about that sword? Did you steal it from someone secretly?"

"Humph!"

Qin Zhou snorted, "What nonsense! It's lost, it's lost. If it weren't for that broken sword, there wouldn't have been so many troubles later..."

"Is it really lost?"

Chen Yang couldn't quite believe it, because the general reaction was that Qin Zhou had a bad character when he was young.

Qin Zhou smiled bitterly, "I am still wondering who it was that spied on where I hid my sword. If I catch him, I will tear him into pieces!"

He gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger. This man had hurt him terribly. It could be said that the meeting changed the rest of his life.

Chen Yang saw that he didn't look fake, "Don't you have anyone to suspect?"

"Suspect?"

Qin Zhou shook his head. "The Eagle's Beak Cliff is in the wilderness. I buried the sword at night. I deliberately went there late at night when no one was around. I checked the area and made sure it was safe before I found a place to bury it. But it was still dug up..."

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, "Is it possible that you went to the wrong place the second time?"

"how is this possible?"

Qin Zhou chuckled, "Do you really think I have squinting eyes and everything I see is crooked? I'm not that old and blind..."

"It can't possibly fly away by itself, right?"

"That's impossible to say!"

Qin Zhou nodded, looking serious, "Do you know the origin of this Scarlet Sky Sword?"

Chen Yang looked at him, waiting for his next words.

Qin Zhou said, "The Chixiao Sword, also known as the Snake-Slaying Sword, is said to be the sword used by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty to kill a white snake. It is one of the ten famous swords in ancient China..."

"Ah?"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, "Then why did he say it was the Yang family's ancestral sword?"

Didn’t Emperor Gaozu of Han believe in Liu? How come his ancestral surname became Yang?

"How should I know?"

Qinzhou shook his head. "Legend has it that after Emperor Gaozu died, Chi Xiao was stored in the imperial treasury. When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the treasury caught fire and Chi Xiao flew through the roof and has been missing ever since..."

"Is the Yang family's Chixiao the same Chixiao sword from history? I don't know, but historical records show that Emperor Gaozu of Han's Chixiao sword did fly away on its own..."

Chen Yang was delighted when he heard this, "You can explain it to the Yang family in the same way!"

Qin Zhou rolled his eyes. "I told them that the sword flew away by itself? Oh, that's courting death. Are you afraid that they can't kill me?"

Legends are just legends after all. If a sword flies away by itself, who would believe it if you tell others about it?
How could something so exaggerated happen? It must be man-made.

"You really don't have any doubts?"

"no!"

Qin Zhou shook his head helplessly, "Really not. If there was, I would have told the Yang family a long time ago!"

Chen Yang pinched his chin. It seemed that Qinzhou didn't seem to be lying.

"Where is the secret treasure he mentioned?" Chen Yang asked again.

Qin Zhou said, "Then I have no idea. He also said that Yang Dongguan only mentioned such a secret treasure in the letter, but it is still doubtful whether the secret treasure is in his possession..."

"Think about it, if this thing was found by the Six Friends of Longtan from the Seven Stars Pile, and it is really a rare treasure, how could it be in Yang Dongguan's hands? You know, Ding Huanchun is the boss of the Six Friends. Even if there is such a thing, it should be in the hands of the Ding family..."

……

After listening to Qinzhou's analysis, Chen Yang felt that it made sense.

Six people went to Qixingdui together, and five of them came out and brought out a treasure. If it was really a rare treasure, it would not be Yang Dongguan's turn based on seniority!

Therefore, it is very likely that Yang Dongguan knows about the existence of such a treasure, but in fact, this treasure is not in his hands.

The Ding family?
Not only the Ding family, but the other four of the Longtan Six Friends are suspects.

"You kid, you seem quite interested?" Qinzhou looked at Chen Yang strangely.

Chen Yang shrugged. "Interest is interest, but you don't even know what that thing is. What's the point of being interested?"

Qin Zhou said, "I heard from the Yang family that it seems to be a piece of jade or something!"

"jade?"

Chen Yang smiled, "This range is quite large. If there are no other features, it will be difficult for them to find it!"
