Chao Ping rushed forward excitedly and said:
"Brother Shi, we killed all the thieves and were so frightened that they almost escaped except for the drunk ones."
Qiao Tong said happily:
“We poured black water into the stockade, set off gunpowder, lit fires, and exploded, and most of the stockade was burned down.
We hid in the dark and shot down the thieves who were making a mess with arrows. "
A young man next to Qiao Tong also shouted:
“These thieves are just a mob and have no cowards.
Brother Chao falsely claimed that he was sent by Yuanshi Tianzun to punish them for occupying the Taoist temple and desecrating the holy land.
Brother Chao used his skills, and his voice fluctuated from left to right. They were confused and suspicious, and no one dared to come up to put out the fire. After a while, the fire spread and became bigger and bigger, and they all ran away in a swarm. "
Several people laughed softly as they spoke.
When Shi Guang saw Wang Qi'an taking the jade, he rushed forward without caring about anything else and struck him with a single blow.
With a "clang" sound, Shi Hao struck Shi Guang away with a knife.
Shi Guang's eyes were red, and he was filled with hatred:
"Brother, let me kill this demon to avenge my parents and the whole village."
Shi Hao said with a livid face:
"People need to be killed, but the Green Dragon Blade is our ancestral possession and must be retrieved intact."
He turned to Qingyu and shouted angrily:
"Tell me, where do you hide my family heirloom sword?"
Qingyu was burnt to the point of disgrace, and she was so frightened by Shi Guang's knife that she knelt down and begged for mercy.
Hearing this but not knowing why, he said in shock:
"What kind of family heirloom sword? I have never seen it before."
Shi Guang raised his knife to strike:
"You're such a thief, you dare to quibble when you're about to die."
Qingyu said in fear:
"I really don't know what the two young masters are referring to! If you don't believe me, go to my bedroom and search carefully to see if there is any precious sword."
Shi Hao's demeanor suddenly changed and he said sternly:
"Since you are so stubborn, it doesn't matter if you don't want the sword, I will kill you right now to sacrifice your parents to heaven."
He slashed straight with the knife, and Qingyu felt a chill on her neck, saying that her life was over.
Unexpectedly, after Shi Hao's knife, his head was still there, but there was only a thin mark on his neck.
Wang Qian came closer and said:
"My lord, this matter is quite strange. I don't think this demon is lying."
Shi Hao glanced at Qingyu, nodded and said:
"I was also suspicious, and I just tried it with the knife."
Shi Guang stamped his feet and said anxiously:
"Brother, do you really believe what he said? We were on the roof, and this dwarf was still praising his martial arts. He killed dad and Uncle Li with a whisk."
Qingyu seemed to have heard some misunderstanding, and couldn't help but panicked and defended:
"You two gentlemen, wait a minute, there must be some misunderstanding here!
Today we just heard that there was a Black Dragon Village nearby, and we didn’t like it being called a dragon, so we asked two brothers to pick them out.
Pindao killed the two heads of the family, but they were almost the same age as the young master, so how could they be their fathers and elders? "
Shi Guang said angrily:
"You thief, don't make up some nonsense to deceive us. Brother, this person is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he can say anything."
Shi Hao looked at Zhu Pu and Zhu Long, and saw Zhu Long staring at him fiercely and not saying anything to Qing Yu.
On the contrary, Pu Wanlin rushed to help and said:
"You two gentlemen, I'm here today and can prove that every word of Brother Dao is true and what he said is not false."
Shi Guang said disdainfully:
"Hmph, you two accomplices, a nest of snakes and rats, working together, of course you are speaking for this thief."
Shi Hao pulled Shi Guang and retreated to the courtyard. He called Qiao Tong and two others and whispered:
"You go out, find a few drunk people, wake them up, and ask them if they have been to Black Dragon Village today."
Qiao Tong and the two of them understood each other and left in a hurry.
Wang Qi'an showed admiration and was very impressed by Shi Hao.
I thought to myself, what I saw tonight is that this man is not only a god with arrows, but also has superb swordsmanship.
Moreover, he has a very high mind, a calm demeanor, can plan and plan, and has the style of a general.
Wang Qi'an remembered something, approached Chao Ping, and whispered a few words to him.
Chao Ping nodded frequently, and after hearing this, he rushed towards the row of houses behind the courtyard.
After half a stick of incense, Qiao Tong and his two men came back and nodded to Shi Hao.
After a while, Chao Ping was seen returning to the courtyard with various Taoist robes in his hands.
When everyone was wondering, Wang Qi'an took the Taoist robe and looked at it carefully.
Afterwards, he walked up to Qingyu and asked:
"Are these robes all yours?"
Qingyu didn't know why and was suspicious. She glanced at Wang Qi'an a few times and then nodded slowly.
Wang Qian turned to Shi Hao and said:
"Master, look, are these robes the same as the cloth we got?"
Shi Hao had already guessed Wang Qi'an's thoughts, took the Taoist robe, looked at it for a while and said:
"The pieces of cloth we obtained are dark blue in color, but they are either gold or yellow, purple or black, and the Bagua patterns are also different in shape."
Shi Guang is not a confused person, but he is blinded by hatred and angry.
After calming down, he also discovered suspicious clues.
Shi Hao pondered for a while and then said:
"Let's go. This Taoist didn't lie. It was us who misunderstood."
Shi Guang said unwillingly:
"Brother, although they are not murderers, they are still gangsters who gather people to do evil. Should we just let them go?"
Shi Hao solemnly said:
"The surrounding wooden villages have been destroyed. It would be better to hand them over to the government to restore the purity of this temple."
Wang Qi'an echoed:
"What the eldest master said is absolutely true, but before that, we need to work harder."
He quickly stretched out several fingers and poked Qingyu and others' vital points in the sea.
The three of them screamed, like wilted eggplants, and they suddenly seemed to have aged more than ten years.
"It's better now. They have lost all their powers and are like normal people. They cannot do evil."
Shi Hao didn't expect that Wang Qi'an's skills were so profound that he could break through the Qi sea that the three of them had practiced for more than ten or twenty years with just one finger.
Qiao Tong and several others captured Qingyu and went to the Xinzhou government office.
Wang Qi'an, the Shi brothers, and Chao Ping left Qinglong Village and returned to the village's hall.
Shi Hao was puzzled and said:
"How come Brother Wang knows the magic of igniting fire from a distance? He even caught the Taoist off guard by burning him."
Wang Qi'an laughed dumbly and said:
"Actually, what kind of magic is it?
It's just that there was a bottle of red phosphorus hidden in the clear jade sleeve, and I saw through it when he cast it.
I simply took advantage of the trick and used my luck to break his bottle, causing him to get burned. "
Only then did the Shi brothers suddenly realize.
Chao Ping didn't know what they were talking about, but he muttered to himself:
"The person who killed Uncle Shi was not the leader of Qinglong Village, so who could he be?"
Shi Guang's eyes suddenly turned red again, and he slapped the wooden table angrily and said:
"I think I, Qinglong Village, have done good deeds and accumulated virtues on weekdays, and I have never offended anyone. Who is this thief who has lost his humanity and wants to harm my family?"
Shi Hao's face was stern, showing no joy or sorrow. At this moment, he seemed to be moved when he heard this, and said coolly:
"These thieves must be here to steal my ancestral sword!"
Wang Qi'an nodded silently. If the murderer was not seeking revenge, he was most likely seeking wealth.
He suddenly said:
"The Green Dragon Blade of your village is a magic weapon known far and near?"
