Chapter 1336 The fate of Lao Jianghu
The reason why Xu Chunliang wanted to visit Xie Boxiang was, firstly, because Xie Boxiang had the moral integrity of the old Jianghu, and secondly, because Xie Boxiang was very knowledgeable about Jianghu affairs, and Xu Chunliang wanted to ask questions in person.
Xie Boxiang did not expect that Xu Chunliang would come to visit him. He and Xu Chunliang did not have such a deep friendship. When people are proud of the spring breeze, there are many followers around them, but now Xie Boxiang has declined and has lost the value of use in the eyes of most people. In the past, the flattering disciples and grandchildren who surrounded him in the past have also avoided them one by one.
Fortunately, there is also a disciple Zeng Yuanqing who values love and justice. Zeng Yuanqing has been taking care of him during this period.
Xu Chunliang brought some supplements. When he arrived at the place, he saw Xie Boxiang sitting alone in the yard quietly basking in the sun, holding a cigarette rod in his hand, puffing away happily, but after a few puffs, he coughed violently. .
Zeng Yuanqing sighed and did not try to dissuade him, because he knew that it would be of no use.
Xie Boxiang laughed when he saw Xu Chunliang: "Brother Xu, it's you." He called him the same as Huang Wanglin. At his age, Xu Chunliang would not feel wronged to call him his grandson. This kind of title also showed Xie Boxiang's affection for Xu Chunliang. value.
Xu Chunliang said: "I just came to the capital, and I heard that Mr. Xie was ill, so I came over to take a look."
Xie Boxiang glanced at Zeng Yuanqing, who quickly explained: "I didn't say anything."
Xu Chunliang said: "Pu Jian told me."
Xie Boxiang said: "That bastard, it's just lung cancer." He mentioned his illness as if he was talking about a common cold. Xie Boxiang's mentality was still very strong.
He invited Xu Chunliang to sit aside, and Zeng Yuanqing helped them make a pot of tea. Xie Boxiang asked Zeng Yuanqing to prepare it, leaving Xu Chunliang to have lunch here.
Zeng Yuanqing was a caterer himself. He was good at making delicious dishes and went to prepare them immediately.
Xu Chunliang looked at Xie Boxiang. Xie Boxiang was a bit thin and out of shape, and his face was gloomy. Although he was smiling broadly, it could still be seen that he was trying to keep his spirits up.
"Master Xie didn't go to the hospital?"
Xie Boxiang shook his head: "Life or death is destined, so what if I go to the hospital? It's just a matter of suffering more and suffering more, lingering for a few days. How can it be compared to the freedom I have now, where I can smoke and drink whenever I want." "
Xu Chunliang said: "Master Xie is still transparent and open-minded."
Xie Boxiang said: "I don't dare to take these four words seriously, but I have enjoyed every blessing and suffered every sin in my life. Even if I die now, I won't have much regret."
Xu Chunliang looked around: "Such a nice yard, don't you want to stay there for a few more days?"
Xie Boxiang said: "There are times in your life that you must have, but there are no times in your life. Don't force it. I bought this yard from Miss Xiahou, and it wasn't long before I was diagnosed with lung cancer."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Master Xie, do you think it is related to this yard?"
Xie Boxiang shook his head: "I just feel that this yard shouldn't belong to me."
Xu Chunliang said: "If you regret it, I can tell Xiahou Mulan and let her spend money to buy the yard back."
Xie Boxiang looked at Xu Chunliang with a smile and said, "Of course you are helping her."
Xu Chunliang said: "Master Xie doesn't believe in my character."
Xie Boxiang said: "I asked you to help facilitate the transaction between me and Miss Xiahou. Although she did not suffer in that transaction, she did not take advantage. I am afraid that the collection I gave her will never be realized."
Xu Chunliang knew at that time that Xie Boxiang was taking advantage of Xiahou Mulan's courtyard by exchanging the collection he had on hand. He had helped Xiahou Zun sell a lot of stolen goods in the past and had left corresponding records. If the records are handed over to the police, Mulan Group will suffer a great impact.
It was for this reason that Xiahou Mulan agreed to exchange the courtyard for Xie Boxiang's collection. Although she knew that many of Xie Boxiang's collections were not visible to the public, after obtaining the collection, she decided to donate all the collections to the country.
Xie Boxiang said: "There are not many young people in the world like Xiahou Mulan who follow the rules."
Xu Chunliang said: "Actually, she has no interest in political affairs. She just wants to do business in peace and quiet."
Xie Boxiang let out a long sigh and said, "Yes, Jianghu is no longer what it used to be. Xia Houzun gave birth to a good daughter. By the way, has she officially become the leader of the Tired Clan?"
Xu Chunliang said: "Master Xie, I am not a member of the martial arts world, and I know nothing about martial arts affairs."
Xie Boxiang looked at Xu Chunliang and smiled meaningfully: "Without you, Xiahou Mulan would have been squeezed out by those old people long ago."
Xu Chunliang thought secretly, wondering where Xie Boxiang saw it? Xu Chunliang said: "Master Xie, if you are willing, I can diagnose your pulse."
Xie Boxiang shook his head: "No, everything is destined. You came here today not just to visit me, right?"
Xu Chunliang said: "The main thing is to visit you, and also to ask Mr. Xie to help me solve my doubts."
Xie Boxiang said: "That's what you say."
"You and Xue Renzhong have the titles of Nan Xue and Beixie..."
Xu Chunliang didn't know that the two were at odds. From Xie Boxiang's words, it was not difficult to tell that the two had a lot of grudges.
Xu Chunliang asked: "Are you familiar with Jiang Yucheng?" Xie Boxiang said: "You mean Jiang Yucheng who hosted the Jinmen Ghost Market a while ago? He is just a thief who started his career by stealing. He is the same as Xue Manzi. What is the background of this group of people? None of them are clean."
Xu Chunliang said: "Where is Mr. Liang?"
"He is of high seniority, but he is willing to work as Jiang Yucheng's follower for money. How can such a person be good? Brother Xu, have you also been to Jinmen Ghost Market?"
Xu Chunliang had no need to hide it. After all, it was Zeng Yuanqing who told him about the Jinmen Ghost Market. He nodded and said, "For Mr. Huang's bottle."
Xie Boxiang smiled and said, "Actually, I had already guessed it was you, otherwise Hua Zhuyue wouldn't have intervened. Orchid Sect has never intervened in this business in the past."
Xu Chunliang said: "Master Xie, I have never met Jiang Yucheng, and Xue Renzhong was not with Jiang Yucheng. He went with Mo Han, and there was a man in black with Mo Han."
Xie Boxiang had dealt with Mo Han and was familiar with Mo Han. He was surprised to hear that Xue Renzhong had joined Mo Han's camp. He was a little confused and said: "Xue Manzi is living more and more, and he is actually willing to do what a little girl does. "Of course he knew it wasn't that simple.
Xu Chunliang said: "Xue Renzhong has encountered a lot of changes recently. Xue Anliang's death has hit him hard."
Xie Boxiang sighed and said: "It's really miserable for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person."
Xu Chunliang said: "He also has stubborn illnesses."
Xie Boxiang said: "He was originally a tuberculosis ghost."
Xu Chunliang said: "My grandfather diagnosed him before his death. He was either sick or poisoned."
Xie Boxiang was shocked when he heard this: "Poisoned?"
Xu Chunliang said: "Netherworld Cold Poison!"
Although Xie Boxiang has a deep research on antiques, he knows almost nothing about medicine. He has never heard of Netherworld Cold Poison. He repeated in a low voice: "Netherworld Cold Poison? It sounds like it is very powerful."
Xu Chunliang said: "Netherworld Cold Poison is obtained through contact with Netherworld Cold Jade. Someone made an ice coffin with Netherworld Cold Jade, and his body was stored in it."
When Xie Boxiang heard this, his eyes suddenly became extremely bright: "Han Jade Coffin?"
Xu Chunliang nodded: "I heard it seems to be related to Canghai Jiao Lei."
Xie Boxiang's breathing became rapid. Lantian Nuanyu and Ocean Tears, these legendary treasures have an irresistible temptation for people in their profession. If they can see one of them in this life, they will Die without regrets.
Xie Boxiang whispered: "Are you saying that Xue Renzhong's illness was caused by contact with the cold jade coffin?"
Xu Chunliang said: "I don't know if he has ever come into contact with the cold jade coffin. I only know that he was poisoned by the cold cold poison of the nether world. I also saw him making tea with a warm jade pot. My grandfather said that if it weren't for that warm jade pot, , Xue Renzhong will not survive now."
Xie Boxiang sighed: "Xue Manzi, Xue Manzi, you actually found the Eye of the East China Sea."
Xu Chunliang asked: "What is the East China Sea Eye?"
Xie Boxiang said: "The legendary source of the East China Sea, where the Dragon King of the East China Sea hides his treasure, is guarded by sharks."
Xu Chunliang said: "Legends are just legends after all."
Xie Boxiang said: "It may not be without reason. Any legend has its counterpart in the real world."
At this time, Zeng Yuanqing had prepared lunch and came over to ask Xie Boxiang for instructions. However, Xie Boxiang had been aroused by Xu Chunliang and asked Zeng Yuanqing to start eating in half an hour.
Xu Chunliang told Xie Boxiang what he had learned. Xie Boxiang listened very attentively. After Xu Chunliang finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said, "Xue Manzi actually has a senior brother. I didn't know about this."
Xu Chunliang said: "It seems to be someone named Huang."
Xie Boxiang said: "I have never heard of a master named Huang in our industry."
Xu Chunliang said: "Maybe he hired other experts."
Xie Boxiang nodded and said: "Yes, the boundaries between sects are no longer as clear as in the past. For the sake of profit, even former enemies can collude together. The Shen Zisu mentioned by Xue Manzi is an old friend of mine. All along I just thought he died of a strange illness, but I didn't expect that he actually died of the Netherworld Cold Poison. Xue Manzi was so insidious that Shen Zisu was killed by him. "
Xu Chunliang said: "He didn't know the toxicity of Netherworld Han Jade at the time, otherwise he wouldn't have taken such a big risk to steal it."
Xie Boxiang said: "Xue Manzi must have a better treasure. Think about it, has he mentioned what is in the ice coffin?"
Xu Chunliang shook his head.
Xie Boxiang said: "The ice coffin cannot be empty, unless it has been stolen before. With Xue Manzi's temperament, he will definitely not only take away part of the Netherworld Han Jade, he must also take away the contents of the coffin, maybe There are sharks inside the ice coffin.”
