Martial Arts: The First Genius Doctor in Jianghu

Chapter 7 Western Region Demon Cult
In the main hall of the Su Mansion, Su Zeyuan brewed a pot of snow water and sat opposite Xie Chen.

The incense in the house burns quietly.

Su Zeyuan said: "I heard that you and Xiaochan bought some rouge and gouache for your servants?"

Xie Chen replied: "They're all cheap, but I bought them just because I saw it was fun on the way."

Su Zeyuan said: "Are you investigating Zhu He's case?"

Xie Chen said: "Since you have participated, you still have to have the beginning and the end."

Just as I was talking, the tea was boiling, and the bud core was up and down. At first, it was like a bird's beak playing with pearls, and then it was like a sword coming out of its sheath, and then it was like a thousand peaks under the water, standing gracefully. .

Xie Chen took a sip and looked at the tea in the cup: "Everyone knows West Lake Longjing, but they don't know the beauty of the snowy water and cloudy green. Drinking it will produce body fluids, sweet and comfortable aftertaste, and the taste is refined."

Su Zeyuan said: "If you like it, I can give you some."

Xie Chen smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Uncle for his kindness."

Su Zeyuan also smiled and said, "You will take advantage."

Xie Chen didn't answer.

Su Zeyuan said again: "Forget it, you have already taken the biggest advantage of my life. A few boxes of tea are just a trivial matter."

People like Su Zeyuan naturally don't care about a few boxes of tea, but what he cares about is another thing.

Su Zeyuan said: "Do you really think there is something wrong with Zhu He?"

Xie Chen nodded: "Not only yes, but also a big problem."

Su Zeyuan frowned: "You said that he has excellent martial arts, but He Ming is sure that he has absolutely no martial arts."

Xie Chen said: "Of course I know He Ming's eyesight in arresting the head, but the living can lie, but the dead can't. Since there is a person in this case who is as light-hearted as he is in the world of mortals, it may not be impossible to have another person who can lie He Ming eyes."

Su Zeyuan nodded slightly: "That's not bad. Since you want to know, I will tell you about Zhu He."

Su Zeyuan took a sip of tea and said, "Zhu He is not a native of Hangzhou, he only appeared in Hangzhou about eight years ago. I don't know much about his past, only that he claimed to have made a fortune in the Western Regions outside the Great Wall, so he I want to go back to the Central Plains to enjoy the prosperity, and rely on my contacts and money from the Western Regions to start a business on the Silk Road.”

Xie Chen nodded: "You mean, Zhu He used to be from the Western Regions outside the Great Wall?"

Su Zeyuan nodded: "He claims to be from the Central Plains, but no matter what, he has indeed spent a long time outside the Western Regions."

Xie Chen asked again: "Then did he ever say how he made his fortune?"

Su Zeyuan shook his head: "As far as I know, I haven't elaborated on it, but from the sporadic words, it can be inferred that it seems to have found the royal treasure of a small country that has perished."

Xie Chen said: "Regardless of whether he knows martial arts or not, if he wants to hunt for treasures and make a fortune in the chaotic desert of the Western Regions, it may be difficult for one person to reach the sky, right?"

Su Zeyuan nodded and said, "That's right, he also has a companion named Chen Jie. Even in recent years, the Silk Road business has been done by the two of them. However, Zhu He is in charge of the business in Hangzhou, while Chen Jie is more responsible. Many followed the caravan to the Western Regions."

"I see."

Seeing Xie Chen's sudden silence, Su Zeyuan asked, "Why is my nephew silent all of a sudden?"

Xie Chen hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Uncle, have you ever heard of the Four Sages?"

Su Zeyuan's originally kind and gentle face suddenly tensed like a bowstring, and he said in a panicked tone: "What you are talking about is the Four Saints Demon Cult?"

Xie Chen nodded, and slowly continued: "It is the Four Sacred Demon Sect who sneaked into the palace in the past and conspired to imprison the emperor and wreak havoc on the world."

Su Zeyuan said coldly: "Why did you bring this up? What the Four Saints Demon Sect did to arouse public outrage back then has been wiped out."

Xie Chen shook his head and said: "The Four Sacred Sects in the Central Plains are extinct, but few people know that the main altar of the Four Sacred Sects is in the Western Regions. Others may not know, but if you say you don't know, Uncle, I'm afraid it's a bit unreasonable, right? "

Su Zeyuan sighed and said, "That's true. Not only does this old man know about the Four Sacred Demon Sect, but he has even been secretly investigating this matter in the Western Regions."

"This is beyond my expectation."

Su Zeyuan said: "It's nothing surprising. Ever since the Four Sacred Demon Sect failed to conspire to imprison and control the late emperor, the imperial court wanted to get rid of the Four Sacred Demon Sect and then quickly. After the Four Sacred Demon Sects in the Central Plains were completely wiped out, the money obtained from the extermination of various halls Naturally, one can easily learn that its main altar is located in the Western Regions. So from then on, the Su family got a secret order to secretly investigate the information of the Demon Cult in the Western Regions."

Xie Chen suddenly realized: "So it is."

Su Zeyuan couldn't relax at all: "Do you suspect that Zhu He's death is related to the Four Saints Demon Sect?"

Xie Chen said: "I have doubts, but they are just speculative reasoning without evidence."

Su Zeyuan said: "Do you suspect that the killer's lightness kung fu is the method of the Four Saints Demon Cult?"

Xie Chen said: "Actually, I haven't seen the killer's light work, so I dare not make a judgment."

Su Zeyuan said: "Although I have never seen it before, I was still a child when the Four Sacred Demon Sects were exterminated. It was my grandfather and father who led people to participate. However, I did hear about the martial arts of the Four Sacred Demon Sects. The number is completely different from the Central Plains Wulin, but it can indeed be called an extremely superior martial art. If it is really a killer in the Four Sacred Demon Sect, it is not surprising that he can have lightness skills comparable to those of walking on the snow."

While speaking, Su Zeyuan was a little surprised: "How did you know about the Four Sacred Devil Sect? The Four Sacred Devil Sect has not appeared in the Central Plains for many years. You shouldn't know this, nephew."

Xie Chen said: "I went to the western region two years ago, visited the Tianshan sect on the Daxue Mountain in the western region, and made a few friends. Only then did I learn about the past of the Four Sages from their mouths."

Su Zeyuan said: "It turns out that the Tianshan faction and the Four Saints belong to the Western Regions, so they naturally know more about each other. However, I heard that the Tianshan faction is dissatisfied with the Central Plains martial arts. Martial arts people are so contemptuous. Once, my Su family also sent people to visit the mountain to ask about the Four Sacred Demon Sect, but in the end there was no one to lead the way and the lack of guides made it impossible to climb the Great Snow Mountain.”

Xie Chen said with a smile: "They can look down on the Central Plains martial arts, but they can't look down on my ability to save lives."

Su Zeyuan praised: "My nephew's medical skills are really unparalleled in the world."

But he continued: "But even in the Western Regions, the Four Sacred Demon Sects are still surreptitious. You can't say that Zhu He's death is related to the Four Sacred Demon Sects just because Zhu He started his career in the Western Regions. After all, there must be evidence for this matter."

Xie Chen agreed: "Of course we can't rely on conjecture to decide the case. However, there are some doubts in this case. Since it is confirmed that Zhu He is related to the Western Regions, I wonder if I can use the carrier pigeons from the Su Mansion to the Western Regions. I have some questions and I would like to ask for advice." Friends on the Snow Mountain."

Su Zeyuan said in surprise: "There is nothing you can do!"

It turned out that he had long wanted to establish a relationship with the Tianshan faction so as to obtain news about the Four Saints Demon Cult, but over the years, the people of the Tianshan faction simply looked down on them, people from the Central Plains, but this time he had the opportunity to get in touch with Xie Chen. .

Xie Chen put down the empty cup and was about to leave when Su Zeyuan suddenly remembered something.

"I remember that Chen Jie happened to come back from the Western Regions with the caravan the day before yesterday, because he was stationed in the Western Regions and often did not return to Hangzhou for several years. For example, I remember that the last time he came back was two years ago, so he did not buy any real estate. Live in the Willow Bank Inn. After you release the carrier pigeon, you can ask him, maybe you will gain something."

"What did you say? Chen Jie arrived in Hangzhou the day before yesterday?"
