After suffering a serious illness from the plague, he was also abruptly saved by Nine Shadows.

At the beginning, Jiu Ying grabbed Wei He's hand and began to support Gu, but he didn't expect him to hold on by himself.

"It's Uncle Wei! Please come in!" Yuan Bao lost a lot of weight. When he saw Wei He, he hurriedly stepped aside and let Wei He in.

"Where's Uncle Jiu?" Wei He asked, walking into the courtyard, he saw a beautiful girl with long hair and shawl in the courtyard, holding a bamboo slip book in her hand, standing a little cautiously by the stone bench.

On the stone table next to the stone bench, there were also a lot of yellow paper and charcoal pencils.There are two sets of charcoal pencils, and there is still half-written writing on the yellow paper.

"This is Miss Lin next door, she came to practice calligraphy with me." Yuan Bao quickly explained.

"Lin'er, this is my Uncle Wei, a close friend of Uncle Nine, you can just call him Uncle Wei."

"Yes. Hello, Uncle Wei." Miss Lin hurriedly bowed her knees and said hello obediently.

He has bright eyes and white teeth, fair skin, and is as thin and elegant as a willow at a young age.

Apart from being a little thinner, you can tell from her appearance that she must be a beautiful woman in the future.

Wei He was a little puzzled, at such a young age, how could the family feel at ease and let him go to the two men's next door to learn calligraphy alone?

But looking at Miss Lin bowing her head in embarrassment, there may be another reason.

He stopped looking into it and went into the back room.

The house was lit in broad daylight.

Jiuying squatted on the bench, holding a stick of dry tobacco in his hand, and smoked it one after another.

Seeing Wei He enter the door, he also put down the cigarette stick.

"You are a busy man, why did you come to see me, a bad old man?"

"Play chess." Wei He laughed.

"Hehe, it's completely boring to play chess with you. It's not interesting to win or lose." Jiu Ying picked up a teacup and took a sip of water to moisten his throat.

"Okay, I just heard that your health is about to fail again, so come and have a look." Wei He said honestly.

"Maybe it's really going to die this time." Jiuying didn't care, "Thanks to having you behind me in the last few years, my life has become more regular. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to survive the plague."

"Anyway, you are leaving soon. Tell me, if you have any wish to fulfill, I will help you within the scope of my ability." Wei He said seriously.

"I have no wish. With Yuan Bao here these days, everything else is ignored." Jiuying clapped his hands, and a fat big yellow dog rushed out from a corner of the room, ran to his feet, and rubbed his calf with its head.

"It's you." Jiuying raised his head and said, "My old man is dying anyway, so nothing else matters. But you, don't think that you are safe now. In a world of great conflict, no one can survive alone."

"What news did you receive?" Wei He was taken aback.

Jiuying is a widowed old man, what news can he receive?

"Kong'an in Yizhou has been massacred." Nine Shadows said calmly.

"Tucheng?" Wei He was taken aback, then fell silent.

Although since the beginning of the war, he had thought about the possibility of such a cruel tragedy, but when the fact happened, he felt a sense of oppression from the general situation, which was almost overwhelming.

"The news is true?" Wei He asked.

"It's estimated that it will reach here tomorrow. I have a special news channel, so I know in advance." Nine Shadows said calmly.

"..." Wei He was speechless.He believed that Jiuying wouldn't and didn't need to make such jokes.

"The one who slaughtered the city was Tang Yan, the great general of the Wu Kingdom." Jiuying continued, "Think about it, if one day you are also faced with being slaughtered, how will you deal with yourself at that time?"

"What do you want to say?" Wei He asked back.

"I just want to say, if you have a chance, don't relax, and don't wake up and regret it when you need strength."

"I know."

In fact, Wei He has always suspected that Nine Shadows may be secretly providing supplies and medicines to an underground organization, otherwise it would be impossible to explain that he has such a well-informed information channel.

Moreover, the consumption rate of the various drugs and poisons used in the previous experiments was a bit too high.

But there are some things. Seeing that the clues of Silkworm Strength and Bright Moon and Long Whale Picture were all obtained with the help of Nine Shadows, and the Zhengfa Jue was also perfected with his help, Wei He just turned a blind eye.

"Also, there is one more thing... this thing..." Jiu Ying touched from his bosom, and slowly took out a wooden token with blood-colored writing on it.There is a big word 'help' written on it.

"For my sake, I hope you can help the person holding this sign once. If you can." Nine Shadows said in a deep voice.

"...Yes." Wei He nodded.Take the sign.

"Okay, then I'm at ease." Jiu Ying let out a long sigh of relief, and it was obvious that he had been brewing emotions for a long time in order to open his mouth.

"That girl outside the house?" Wei Heshun asked casually.

"There was a child born by a prostitute next door. I don't know who the father is. My mother died of illness a while ago. She was the only one left, so I took her down to be Yuan Bao's companion. She is also a poor child." Jiu Ying sighed. .

"Then I'll go first." Wei He nodded, as long as he was innocent.

"Are you interested in taking Yuan Bao and that girl as disciples?" Jiu Ying suddenly said, "That girl is a person with excellent understanding."

"Oh? Excellent comprehension?" Wei He suddenly became interested, "How good is it?"

"The root bone is only mediocre, but the comprehension is really strong. I am teaching him how to learn calligraphy and martial arts. If you are interested, you can watch from the sidelines." Jiu Ying laughed.

"Forget it, I have seen too many people with high savvy and weak bones. Aren't you and I also like this?" Wei He smiled.

"What if it's taller than you and me?" Jiuying laughed, "Warrior masters are below the level of martial arts, so you can understand it as soon as you see it, and you can understand it as soon as you talk about it?"

"..." The smile on Wei He's face suddenly froze.He saw that girl just now, she is no more than eleven or twelve years old at most, at this age...if she can do what Jiuying said.

That would be a big deal.

He stared carefully at Jiuying's eyes. Although he couldn't see anything, he always felt that he had other intentions in pushing the girl under his door.

"Nine Shadows, don't do unnecessary things." Wei He said softly.

"Are you afraid?" Nine Shadows laughed.

"Of course." Wei Lili said naturally, "I'm afraid I will clean up the door myself in the future."

"Do you still have the demeanor of a generation of masters? If you say you are afraid, you are afraid. I, Nine Shadows, have lived most of my life, and this is the first time I have seen a master who doesn't care about face like you." Nine Shadows was speechless.

"So, tell me your real intention." Wei He said.

"What other intentions do you have? Miss Lin is still young, and we will talk about the future. Since you don't want to, then let it go." Jiuying shook her head.

"Okay." Wei He didn't want to get involved too much.

Lin Lin's mother is a prostitute, and her father is a mystery. It seems that the trouble lies with her father.

It is estimated that the organization behind Nine Shadows will also be involved.

Wei He didn't think about it any more, turned around and left the back room. When passing by the yard, he saw Yuan Bao and Lin Lin next to each other, learning and practicing calligraphy carefully, and he didn't seem to hear his voice of leaving.

He stopped paying attention, strode out of the courtyard, gently closed the courtyard door, and walked away.

Coming out of Nine Shadows House, Wei He went straight to Baisong Commercial Firm.

The firm is considered medium-sized in Weifang City. The boss has a very powerful name, Xiao Jingyun. The name is very imposing, but he is quite kind, and the person and name are in stark contrast.

When Wei He arrived at the firm, Xiao Jingyun was already waiting in front of the door.

Wei Hehe is his real big customer, so he is naturally treated with the highest courtesy.

Xiao Jingyun has a wide body and a fat body. He wears a pair of round glasses, which makes his temperament more sleek and soft. He always wears a fat and spacious official robe. amiable.

"Long time no see, Mr. Chen is fine." Xiao Jingyun clasped his fists and said hello.

"It's okay, it's okay, if you have something good, just bring it up quickly. You won't be missing the money." Wei He didn't care about it, and followed Xiao Jingyun into the business store.

Led by a maid, the two entered a small hall.

Xiao Jingyun walked cautiously to the corner of the small hall, opened a large heavy metal box with the key he was wearing, and took out several scrolls from the box.

"Come, come, last time Master Chen asked me to help you pay attention to this ancient painting. It was an ancient painting of landscapes and landscapes, so I searched carefully. Take a look, this is the ancient painting that can be obtained this time."

He unfolded the scroll, and inside were various sample sketches drawn side by side.

Chapter 288 Under the Bright Moon

Wei He glanced away.One by one is full of landscape paintings of mountains, rivers and rivers, and the names of various painters are listed below.

'Wang Xincheng', 'Liu Tanzhi', 'Zhou Yun', 'Anonymous'...

"The best one is Master Wang Xincheng's Heart Lamp and Bright Moon Picture. Take a look, this one."

Xiao Jingyun smiled and introduced the largest ancient painting among them.

Although it is just a sketch of an ancient painting that has been copied hastily, it can be seen that the effort has been put into it.

There are a lot of content on the side.

But what Wei He wants is not these.

"What I asked for before was a painting of a whale, do you know if there is one?" Wei He asked.

"Whale... that kind of huge sea fish?" Xiao Jingyun thought for a while, "I have seen one of this batch when I was picking up the goods. There are clouds and a bright moon on the picture scroll, and there is another one with a huge size. What is the picture of a bright moon and a long whale. But because the author is not famous, he confiscated it..."

"The picture of a bright moon and a long whale?" Wei He's heart jumped suddenly.Isn't this the clue to the whale's breathing state that Jiuying found for him! ?

Although he was pleasantly surprised in his heart, he remained completely motionless on the surface, as if he was only slightly interested in it.

"Sounds good. I'm a little interested. Can you collect the scroll for me?"

"This...Speaking of which, the painting was only sold by two and a half teenagers. It didn't sell for a price, and I don't know where it went now. I collected the painting at a remote place outside the city... It will be a while now. ..." Xiao Jingyun hesitated for a moment.

"That's no problem. As long as I can receive the painting, I still say that the price is negotiable." Wei He laughed.

"This... I will do my best." Xiao Jingyun nodded.

"Forget it, among these paintings, I want this one, this one." Wei He looked carefully at the scroll, and clicked on the two he liked.

"If the real thing is not much different, you can pay the bill after a while." He said with a smile.

"Master Chen is magnificent!" Xiao Jingyun was immediately pleasantly surprised.

After leaving the firm, Wei He was in a happy mood. Finally, he had a clue to the whale's breathing state. He had searched for it for many years, and now he found the clue with great difficulty. Naturally, he was in a good mood.

When he got home, he waited in peace for a few days, waiting for the news from the firm.

What I didn't expect was that the news came, but it was disappointing.

"Sorry, I'm so sorry!" Xiao Jingyun stood in the living room of Wei's house and bowed deeply to Wei He.

"I will look for those two teenagers later, but I can't find anyone."

"Where did you collect the paintings before?" Wei He asked in a deep voice with a calm expression.

"This...sorry, this is a commercial secret of the lower company, so I can't go into details, but I found another similar ancient painting for you. You must be interested in it." Xiao Jingyun added.

"Forget it, I'm not interested for the time being. Since it's gone, then forget it. Boss Xiao, please make a trip in person." Wei He sighed, "Maybe it's because I didn't have a chance with that painting."

"Master Chen...do you want to stop looking at other paintings?" Xiao Jingyun tried.

Wei He shook his head, said a few simple words, and then drove the man out of the door.

The picture of a bright moon and a long whale was about to be obtained, but this kidnapping happened.

After Xiao Jingyun left.

Wei He stood up and clapped his hands lightly.

Swish.

A figure suddenly appeared in the shadow behind him.

"Sect Master."

"Have you found out the place? Where did the Baisong Company collect the ancient paintings?" Naturally, Wei He would not put all his eggs in one basket, and would not pin his hopes on one person.

Although the Wandumen's power is not as good as before, it still has its own business and intelligence network.

Naturally, as soon as he came back, he issued an order to investigate the matter and track down the picture of Mingyue Changjing.

"Returning to the door owner, according to the statement of Xiao Jingyun's shopkeeper, it is in the war-torn border area near Yizhou. There are many ancient towns there, and they are the collection points that Baisong Trading Company often visits."

"Which point did you see the picture of the bright moon and long whale?" Wei He asked.

"Huibai town, the Xu family's pawn shop, and the Wang family's calligraphy and painting shop, I don't know which side." The figure replied.

"That's right. Only in war-torn areas can you receive things at the lowest price and sell them at a high price. Xiao Jingyun has a good plan." Wei He understood.

"Send an order to send out the people from the Wanqing Institute of the Arc Light Institute to get the picture of the bright moon and long whale as soon as possible. Go find the sample picture from Xiao Jingyun."
