Thirty years ago, Tong Chen used the illusion to kill four thieves and a group of enemies who came to hunt these four people in Lanruo Temple.
Although people are dead, the things on them...are still there.
Those who seek revenge will not bring anything too valuable with them, but the four thieves are different. They all have some personal wealth.
That "Taotie Thief" Han Li had a copy of Taihe Gong's secret recipe that he got from somewhere.
Many people may not know this Duke Taihe, but I would like to mention another person you should know, namely Zhuan Zhu, one of the four great assassins in "Historical Records: Biography of Assassins".
It is said that in order to help Prince Ji Guang kill King Liao of Wu, Zhuan Zhu went to Taihu Lake to learn the art of grilling fish from Duke Taihe for three years. After he returned from studying, he took advantage of King Wu's preference for "fish grilling" and lured him there. In the house of Prince Ji Guang, the famous play "The Sword Hidden in the Belly of the Fish" was staged.
In short, in the late Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Taihe was unparalleled in the world in terms of his ability to cook fish or aquatic products, and the recipes he left behind were indeed priceless treasures for foodies like Han Li. .
Next, let’s talk about “Long Yang Dao” Zhu Meng; even though he is not the boss, among the four thieves, he has the highest martial arts.
Why does Zhu Meng look as delicate as a woman and speak in a soft voice?
Of course, one reason is that he is gay, and another reason is that he practiced a kind of martial arts called "Duoqing Jue", which caused problems with his body's endocrine system and hormonal imbalance.
Speaking of this "passionate technique", in fact, it is not a kung fu for men. It is a martial arts method created by a chivalrous woman in the world many years ago. Only a woman's physique can adapt to it.
This chivalrous woman is also guilty of evil. Who would have thought that one of her descendants would have Zhu Meng...
However, there is a saying that Zhu Meng also has his pitiful side; he also lost his parents when he was less than ten years old. Seeing that he was the only child left in their family, a few evil-hearted relatives took over Zhu Meng's ancestral property and returned it. The young Zhu Meng was sold to a brothel (another name for a brothel) to be a little tortoise slave.
This family secret book was brought out by Zhu Meng after he secretly hid it on his body. It was also the only relic of his parents that he kept.
Fortunately, Zhu Meng had been reading for several years and knew many words, so he could basically understand the words in the secret book. So, after a few years, Zhu Meng began to practice martial arts, but... some changes occurred in his body and mind.
Since the hall was full of women, Zhu Meng was brought up by these prostitutes. He was exposed to them every day and practiced women's kung fu. In this way, day after day, he became a "Longyang Pirate".
Actually, if you really go into detail, the "Passionate Art" skill is not absolutely only for women to practice. If your talent, understanding and martial arts foundation are high enough and you know how to modify some of the details, then you can be considered a man. It can also be practiced.
Take the Emei Nine Yang Kung Fu in "The Legend of Heaven and Slaying the Dragon" as an example. It is derived from the part that Guo Xiang memorized when she was young and heard Master Yuan reciting the "Nine Yang Manual". Later, when Guo Xiang founded the sect, her Martial arts attainments have made it possible to modify martial arts at the level of Nine Yang Divine Skills into martial arts suitable for women and pass them on.
However, Zhu Meng is naturally not as good as Guo Xiang...
Because his parents died young, no one told him from the beginning that "Duoqing Jue" was a martial arts practiced by women, and Zhu Meng did not have an introductory martial arts master, so he learned everything by himself; in addition, he was taught by his relatives The experience of being trapped made it difficult for him to establish trust in others, and it was impossible for him to ask others for advice.
Therefore, the result of Zhu Meng's strong practice of the "Passive Love Technique" was that he became a half-man and half-female state. He could not exert the power of this martial arts to 100%, and at most he used 60% to 70%.
Of course... sixty to seventy percent is enough.
After all, this is superior martial arts. It is more than enough to compare with those martial arts masters and his other three brothers who are thieves.
The year Zhu Meng practiced Kungfu and left the brothel, the first business he did was to kill the relatives who had cheated him, and took away all the property; according to his thinking, this was called "taking back what belongs to me" "things", as for the extra part, it will be treated as interest.
After that, he started his career as a "grass thief" and met three other brothers one after another, and his "Love Secrets" has been carried close to him for so many years.
As a result, he also told the story in Lanruo Temple with him...
Next, it’s time to talk about the “Zhuge Thief” Lan Shuoli; what this brother left behind is very interesting – the design drawings.
As mentioned before, Lan Shuoli likes "clever things" the most, such as traps, smoke screens and flying needles. To put it more bluntly, this man is a magician.
Magicians naturally have to use some tricks to hide things: Therefore, Lan Shuoli did not directly bring a "book" with him, but hid his lifelong research results, namely those design drawings, in a In a metal box that is about the same size as a school bag, only those who can crack the method of opening the box...such as himself can open it and view the contents inside.
Finally, there is the "Flying Thief" Li Yuan.
This person loves money the most among the four thieves, and he is also the best in Qinggong. But if you think that this person will leave behind any unique Qinggong secrets, you are wrong.
The Qing Gong that Li Yuan learned is actually very ordinary. You can learn it from any second- or third-rate sect. This guy's Qing Gong is so powerful because of his extraordinary talent. There is really no need for him to learn any particularly advanced Qing Gong, because ordinary Qing Gong can't be used at all. When he performs it, he is already "stepping on his left foot and spiraling up to the sky with his right foot." If you ask him to learn a stronger Qing Gong, there will not be much improvement in his actual performance.
It's like, if you go to a key high school and can barely get a score of 620 or so on the college entrance examination, but he can get a score of 650 or more if he goes to an ordinary high school, then it doesn't make much sense if you let him go to a key high school.
However, although he did not leave behind any martial arts skills, the "Flying Thief" still left something else - a "counter ticket" from Baichuan Bank.
This counter ticket is the certificate issued to you by the ancient counter shop when it helps you keep things. It is similar to the pawn ticket in the pawn shop. Its service form is similar to today's bank vault.
Baichuan Bank is one of the largest businesses in Dashu. It has been operating for hundreds of years. In addition to the business of ordinary banks, it also has some functions of a counter shop, so it is very likely that this counter ticket can still be redeemed today.
However, it is hard to say what exactly this "flying thief" keeps on the cabinet, but judging from his character who regards wealth as his life, 80% of it is something worth more than money and can be preserved. The possibility of antique calligraphy and painting Very high.
The above four items are what Sun Huanglei and the others got after searching the room.
Tongchen didn't deliberately keep the relics for the four thieves, but these things were of no use to the monsters, so he just put them there without taking them seriously.
No, many years later, Shuang Harmony and Lei Buji became cheaper.
Just when the three of them were preparing to divide the spoils, Miao Yinzi came back. However, he was the only one who came back, and Xie Run didn't come in.
"Eh? Taoist Priest, where is Brother Xie?" Huang Donglai asked when he saw that no one seemed to be outside the house.
"I let him go first." Mianyinzi said.
"Ah?" Sun Yixie raised his eyebrows and said, "How to get there? This is an island in the middle of the lake. Where can he go? And the boat we came on has been destroyed."
"You don't have to worry about this. The boat Pindao took when he landed on the island is still intact. The boatman who sent you here is still on the island and is safe and sound. I have told the donor Xie the location of the boatman and the boat and asked them to leave first. ." Mianyinzi replied.
"Wait a minute..." Sun Yixie said, "Then if they take the boat away, won't we all be trapped here?"
"That's true...ha..." Miaoyinzi smiled, "With me here, are you still afraid that you won't be able to leave?"
"Hmm..." Sun Yixie rolled his eyes again, "That's true, then... Taoist priest, why don't you just blow us to Wuchang with your breath?"
"Do you really think I'm a god? If I could cross you hundreds of miles just by blowing my breath, would it be too late for me to come this day?" Miao Yinzi asked in return.
"Okay." Sun Yixie thought about it and then said, "But I don't know why the Taoist Master asked Brother Xie to leave first?"
"The direction he wants to go after crossing the river is different from yours, and he also carries an ominous object on his body, which will cause a lot of disasters. I saw that he is a decent man and has quite a chivalrous heart, so I gave him some guidance. Ichiban, let him take the first step." Miaoyinzi continued, "Besides, before he left, he asked me to say goodbye to you on his behalf. It's a long journey, and when we meet again in the future, he will definitely repay you well."
"Oh, that's it." Sun Yixie nodded.
"Besides..." Mianyinzi hadn't finished her words yet, "I do have something I need the three of you to help with, so I need you to stay for a while."
Then, Mianyinzi told them the legends related to Lanruo Temple, including the earlier story of the ancestor who died on the Shihe River.
After listening, they realized that the paper man they had met before was really "Yelü Baoqi". The principle of Tongchen's evil method was to parasitize the innocent souls trapped here on the paper man, and then let them do something for him. Serve yourself, because these paper figures themselves are conscious, so the "counterfeiters" in the illusion will be more realistic and flexible in their actions.
So what kind of help did Miaoyinzi want Shuanghehe and Lei Buji to do?
In fact, it's not a big deal. It's just that when he opens the altar and practices, he needs a few "boys" to protect him.
Although this job can also be replaced by "summoning creatures", the effect will naturally be better if it is done by real people.
As for the reason why Miaoyinzi did this, I think everyone can guess it. He wanted to re-strengthen the seal under Lanruo Temple to prevent anything from happening again after they left.
So, until dawn, the three of them were helping the Taoist priest with this matter.
By the next day, it was bright and clear.
Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji woke up almost at the same time.
After they got up, they looked around and found that they were sitting in an empty space on the south bank of the Shihe River. Their luggage and the relics of the four thieves they had found were placed around them.
The three of them had no idea when they fell asleep or how they got here. Everything yesterday seemed to be a dream, but those terrifying memories and the things they got reminded them that everything happened. It actually happened...
Sun Yixie wanted to quickly divide the relics of the four thieves before going on the road. Unexpectedly, Lei Buji decisively refused to share the stolen goods: firstly, there was indeed nothing he wanted among the four relics; secondly, , after listening to Miaoyinzi's story about Lanruo Temple's past, he already knew that these four things were left by "thieves", and his father once told him that in the world, only thieves' things are the most valuable. It's best not to get your hands on it, because you can't tell who the last owner of this thing was. If someone has a grudge against the thief, and finally follows the thing and takes revenge on you, you can't tell.
Of course, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai are not afraid of this. Not to mention that the four thieves have been dead for thirty years, and many of their enemies also died in Lanruo Temple. Even if there are other suffering masters looking for these relics, When it comes, they are confident that they can handle it with their own shamelessness and sophistry.
So, in the end, Sun and Huang added two to one to make five, and divided the account in half. The recipe and counter tickets belonged to Sun Yixie, while the secret book and the box were taken by Huang Donglai.
This supernatural turmoil on the Shihe River has come to an end.
The three young heroes embarked on their journey again and entered the rolling mountains between Xinyang and Wuchang...
