This is Jianghu

Chapter 39 The Mysterious Liu Dan
Quiet, there was no sound in the meditation room for a while!

As soon as Dongfang Gongwang said this, both Dongfang Jue and Zhang Liheng were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Even Dongfang Jue, who is already one of the first-class masters, is still not as good as Dongfang Gongwang, who has been immersed in martial arts for decades. Dongfang Gongwang is the well-deserved No. 1 of the Dongfang family.That stupid white-faced scholar Liu Dan actually has the same skill as Dongfang Gongwang, what kind of concept is this!

After a while, Zhang Liheng said in disbelief, "This...how is this possible!"

Dongfang Jue also asked uncertainly: "Old man, did you lose your head playing chess? Say it again seriously!"

Dongfang Gongwang said seriously: "The scholar is hiding it very deeply. I didn't know it at first. It's better not to be surprised by the old monk. The first time he saw Liu Dan, he knew that Liu Dan was a person with unique skills!"

Dongfang Jue wondered: "Don't surprise the old monk? How did he see it?"

Dongfang Gongwang said: "I have known this old monk Bujing for decades, and I know that he is a man, and he will never be indiscriminate. Everything this old monk can say is absolutely 100% certain."

Zhang Liheng calmed down, and after hearing Dongfang Gongwang's words, he now basically believed in this fact, and said: "Brother Liu Dan not only knows martial arts, but his martial arts is not ordinary. He pretended to be an ordinary scholar in front of us. What is it for?"

Dongfang Jue also said: "I thought this Liu Dan was the masked female fox. After I found out that they were not the same person last night, although I still had some doubts about Liu Dan's identity, I really didn't expect him to be a master." !"

Dongfang Gongwang asked meaningfully: "Oh? Apart from this, what else do you doubt about him?"

Dongfang Jue said: "I don't know if you have looked carefully, but Liu Dan and the masked female fox are very similar. Except for the difference in gender and the face of the female fox that I have never seen before, they are almost identical in other places. It's exactly the same! I wonder if there is some connection between these two people."

Zhang Liheng heard what Dongfang Jue said, and when he recalled it now, it seemed to be true.Before Zhang Liheng only thought that Liu Dan's eyes resembled the masked woman's shockingly, comparing the two together last night, it was indeed as scary as Dongfang Jue said.

Dongfang Gongwang said: "Your brain is not broken like it was yesterday!"

Dongfang Jue was stunned: "Why did my head break yesterday?"

Dongfang Gongwang said: "Ask little friend Liheng, did you do too many stupid things yesterday?"

Dongfang decided to look at Zhang Liheng and asked, "Brother Liheng, did I do anything stupid yesterday?"

Zhang Liheng thought that what Dongfang Gongwang said should be Dongfang Jue's bad ideas to test whether Liu Dan was a masked woman, but he didn't expect that Dongfang Gongwang, who played chess every day, knew this, so he held back his smile and said: "Brother Dongfang, what did you do yesterday?" Those methods used to test Brother Liu Dan are really not compatible with you who are usually smart..."

Thinking back, Dongfang Jue didn't have the nerve to speak, but just said "Um..." for a while.

Dongfang Gongwang said again: "I see if your kid is fascinated by that vixen!"

Dongfang Jue blushed for no reason, and then quickly changed the subject: "Old man, don't talk about it elsewhere, have you also discovered the relationship between Liu Dan and the masked female fox?"

Dongfang Gongwang didn't continue to criticize Dongfang Jue, and went back to what happened just now: "You guessed right, that scholar Liu Dan is indeed related to the masked girl! The scholar didn't go to the Buddhist hall last night just because it was convenient. Before that, the masked girl first appeared in the scholar's wing, and then the scholar went to the Buddhist hall!"

When Dongfang Jue heard it, he didn't ask how Dongfang Gongwang found out, because he knew that Dongfang Gongwang must have seen it before telling them so.Dongfang Jue thought for a while, as if he had figured out the key point, and then said: "If this is the case, Liu Dan at that time must have discovered that Brother Liheng and I were following behind him, and what he said afterwards was cowardly. Those who are afraid of the dark are just talking about me and brother Liheng!" Then he paused and said, "In other words, brother Liheng and I were tricked by this nerdy Liu Dan!"

Zhang Liheng is not stupid. Hearing Dongfang Jue's analysis, he knew that this was probably the case.Zhang Liheng knew that he was tricked by Liu Dan, but he didn't feel very unhappy, he just said puzzled: "Then what is the reason for this, brother Liu Dan?"

Dongfang Gongwang shook his head and said: "To be honest, I don't understand why this scholar hides his martial arts and pretends to be crazy around you. If it is to ask Tianjian, then he has many great opportunities at his fingertips, but he has always I didn’t do anything. Other than that, I can’t think of any reason for this scholar to approach you.” Then he said to Dongfang Jue: “Continue to analyze and see!”

Dongfang Jue continued: "In this situation, it seems that this Liu Dan and the masked female fox obviously know each other, so the fact that the masked female fox arrested him last night to threaten Brother Liheng and me Liu Dan and the masked female fox put on a good show together!" Dongfang Jue paused again, and then said helplessly to Zhang Liheng: "That is to say, Brother Liheng and I were once again caught by someone. Played it once!"

Even if Zhang Liheng knew that Liu Dan had tricked him twice, he didn't seem to have much reaction.Because Zhang Liheng intuitively told himself that Liu Dan was the same as the masked woman, they didn't seem to have any malice towards him, in his opinion, these things that happened before, it was like a joke made by a friend with him, and it was not worth getting angry at .

At this time, Dongfang Gongwang said a little appreciatively: "Not bad, at least now I know that I have been tricked by others!"

Dongfang Jue rolled Dongfang Gongwang's eyes and said, "Old man, are you praising me or hurting me?"

Dongfang Gongwang just smiled without saying a word.

Dongfang Jue saw Dongfang Gongwang's complacent look, and then said: "Don't laugh, old man, don't think that you are smart, you have been tricked by two people once and you don't know it!"

Dongfang Gongwang said "Oh?" and asked, "Why have I been tricked by them?"

Dongfang Jue said: "Do you still remember that last night you and the female fox faced each other, you said that her skill was not as good as yours, and you shocked her inner breath, and then she was alive and kicking after a while, didn't you just get kicked by her?" Played it!"

Dongfang Gongwang pondered and said: "That's indeed a strange thing, the masked girl's skill is indeed not as good as mine, and the palm technique she uses happens to be the most rigid palm technique that is opposite to our Piao Miao palm, which is the softest palm technique. Insufficient skills will definitely lead to disordered internal breath, and I can't figure out why the girl can straighten out her internal breath so quickly. What does this have to do with me being played by them?"

Seeing that Dongfang Gongwang still couldn't figure it out, Dongfang Jue said proudly: "Old man, have you forgotten? It was you who said it. Liu Dan, a white-faced scholar, is not inferior to you. When a female fox confronted you once Behind the palm, where was Liu Dan at that time? And what would he be doing?"

Dongfang Gongwang was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Dongfang Jue meant, and said to himself, "So that's the case, no wonder! No wonder!"

Zhang Liheng was still a little puzzled, and asked, "Brother Dongfang, what is the relationship here?"

Dongfang Jue said with a smile: "The old man still has the nerve to laugh at us. He himself was played by Liu Dan and the masked female fox, and he didn't know it! At that time, the female fox's internal energy disorder should not be rectified so quickly. , but there happens to be a Liu Dan beside him whose skill is not inferior to the old man, then everything is easy to explain!"

Zhang Liheng also suddenly realized, and said: "It turns out that Brother Liu Dan was helping the masked woman in secret!" Dongfang Jue meant that Liu Dan was using his own internal energy to help the masked woman recuperate her internal energy, so the masked woman could Straighten out the messy inner breath so quickly.

Dongfang Gongwang said: "Why didn't I expect this, I thought that the masked girl practiced some kind of miraculous kung fu, that she could regulate her internal energy so quickly!"

Dongfang Jue said: "Old man, we are even now, you can stop laughing at the thing about me being played by others!"

Dongfang Gongwang smiled and said: "Well, this time you are smart!"

Dongfang Jue continued: "But I still don't understand. Since you know that Liu Dan is a hidden master, why did you open his copper coins to test him yesterday? Logically speaking, as long as you don't open my copper coins, Then he will more or less show his feet!"

Dongfang Gongwang said: "Actually, the purpose of your copper coin has already been achieved. If it hits him, it will scare the snake away. That's why I told you not to act rashly!"

Dongfang never understood and asked: "The purpose of my copper coin has been achieved? What does this mean?"

Dongfang Gongwang said: "The copper coin you played was just to test whether the scholar knows martial arts, but do you know that if you want to test the result, the copper coin may not really hit him! What you don't know is that, When the copper coin was about to hit the scholar, there was a flash of alertness in his eyes, and at that moment he was not at all like a scholar with no strength to restrain himself."

Zhang Liheng asked in surprise: "Old man, were you looking at us at that time?"

Dongfang Gongwang nodded, and continued: "Before that, I was still not surprised by the old monk saying that his martial arts is extremely high, but after seeing that scene, I am basically sure that he is a master who is not inferior to me, and an internal martial artist. It is impossible for ordinary people to restrain their true energy so easily." Then he looked at Dongfang Jue and said, "It seems that you can't either!"

When Dongfang Jue heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little frustrated. That Liu Dan was about the same age as him, but judging from the situation, he was a level higher than himself in terms of internal strength; He has successfully deceived himself and everyone else through various performances. Dongfang Jue has always thought that his mind is not bad, but it seems that this white-faced scholar Liu Dan is still better than himself.

Duke Dongfang saw that Dongfang Jue looked a little depressed, so he said: "There are heavens and people outside the sky, and there are people outside the sky. Don't think too much, kid. I think Li Heng is good. His achievements will never be worse than anyone else in the future. You also give me a good job." Don't dishonor the name of our Dongfang family!"

But Dongfangjue is a cheerful person, these frustrations just passed by, and then he was fine, and he began to worry about Liu Dan's mysterious identity. He didn't know what his purpose of approaching Zhang Liheng was. Dongfangjue was afraid of Zhang Liheng. I don't know what will happen when I meet Liu Dan alone in the future.So Dongfang Jue then said to Zhang Liheng: "Brother Liheng, if you meet that Liu Dan again in the future, you must be careful, I don't know if he will be against you next time."

Zhang Liheng was not as worried as Dongfang Jue. Although Liu Dan deliberately concealed his martial arts by his side, he still felt that Liu Dan had no ill intentions towards him, so he still called Liu Dan "Brother Liu Dan".Zhang Liheng knew that Dongfang definitely cared about him, so he said, "Thank you Brother Dongfang for your reminder, I will pay more attention to it."

Dongfang Jue was about to say something, when he saw Dongfang Gongwang's thoughtful look, he asked, "Old man, did you think of something else?"

Dongfang Gongwang shook his head and said, "I was wondering which sect in Jianghu could produce a master like Liu Dan, but it seems that there really isn't one!"

Dongfang Jue said: "Now there are only a few famous schools in the Jianghu, but there is no mention of a master like him. Even if there is one, the age is not right. Could it be the descendants of some hidden masters? , just like our Eastern family.”

Hearing what the two of them said, Zhang Liheng couldn't help thinking of his senior brother, Xuantian who taught him the inexplicable swordsmanship.As far as Zhang Liheng knew, Xuantian was a real scholar who had achieved fame, but he didn't know how Xuantian got his martial arts.Zhang Liheng suddenly felt that there were many similarities between Xuantian and Liu Dan, both of whom were scholars, but he didn't know who was better in Xuantian's martial arts than Liu Dan.

Seeing that Zhang Liheng was also thinking about it, Dongfang Jue thought he had thought of some clue, so he asked Zhang Liheng again: "Brother Liheng, did you also think of something about Liu Dan's identity?"

Zhang Liheng was thinking about senior brother Xuantian and Liu Dan, when he heard Dongfang Jue's question, he immediately prevaricated, "No, I was just thinking about how Brother Liu Dan and the masked woman are so similar." Can't tell his senior brother Xuantian.

Hearing what Dongfang Jue said, he had been discussing about Liu Dan just now, and almost forgot that there was the masked woman who was with Liu Dan.Dongfang Jue felt a headache at the thought of this, a mysterious Liu Dan was enough for them to guess, and with this important masked female fox similar to Liu Dan, they didn't know where to start.

When Dongfang decided to think of the masked woman, he unconsciously thought of the first time he met her in Jinglou, and he deliberately put away the copper coin brought back by the masked woman in his arms.As soon as Dongfang Jue thought about the masked woman, his brain seemed to start to fail.
