When Tao Wuye first returned to his hometown for retirement, he was very defensive. The Haisha Gang did not take action. Recently, he has relaxed his attitude. They seized the opportunity and wiped out the whole family in one fell swoop. In any case, this was done extremely well.
If they believe that the Dragon Palace Order is on the escaped Abao, they will definitely track it down to the end.
Once something is done, there is no reason to give up halfway.
They seemed to think the secret was hidden in the longevity lock, but there was only a note with Tao Baye's address in the lock.
Since the woman has opened the lock, based on their 'reasoning' thinking, the secret should be known to me now.
I'm pretty sure they didn't follow us out of coastal territory, but... they could have hired killers.
As long as you stay there, you will leave traces. We even asked about the directions to the Tomb of the Great Good Person in the county.
If someone follows us later and asks people in the county to describe our appearance, they will know that we are here.
Acting together with the guards Jia and Tao Abao, after all, they can't be as low-key and secretive as when they were the original guards.
Of course, there is no need to be as scrupulous now as in the past.
"Master Ba, it seems we can't get out of this matter." When I said this, Master Tao understood what I said, but Guard Jia didn't.
"Ah? Young Madam, shouldn't we go home after delivering A Bao?"
"You can go home at any time, but you have to deal with the people blocking your way."
Seven hours have passed since we entered the mountain, had dinner, and then met Tao Baye.
It was past ten o'clock in the middle of the night. I called A Yi and asked him to go to each house to notify the villagers and close the doors immediately. Don't come out if you hear any noise.
A Yi listened for a long time and should have understood the seriousness of the matter.
He hurriedly ran out and went from house to house to inform them, telling them to prepare for battle.
fighting?
I'm talking about closing the doors!
Tao Baye asked the guard Jia to take care of Tao Abao. He extinguished the lights in the courtyard, and other families in the village followed suit tacitly.
The whole village fell into darkness, and the dog was driven into the den and lay there obediently without saying a word.
Tao Baye asked me to sit back in the room and talked to me in a low voice.
He mentioned that when he was injured, it was not an accident at all. It was someone from the Haisha gang who had tampered with his magic props.
It is true that he and Tao Wuye broke up, but after he was injured, Tao Wuye sent people to conduct a secret investigation and caught the stage hand who was doing tricks.
The man was so greedy for money that he opened his mouth by throwing money at him without any punishment.
He revealed the appearance and characteristics of the person behind the scenes.
Tao Wuye's people continued to investigate based on the clues, and finally found the leader of the Haisha Gang.
The Haisha Gang believed that the Tao family had stolen the Dragon Palace Order, so they held a grudge against them.
Tao Wuye lived in Yuancheng and inherited the world-famous Wanying Gun. The people of the Haisha Gang did not dare to touch him.
The eyes of hatred turned to Tao Baye. Tao Baye did not know martial arts. In their eyes, he was just a juggler. He wanted money but not money, status but not status. He wanted martial arts but not martial arts. It was best to bully him.
For such a weakling, the Dragon Palace Order was definitely not on him, but he couldn't be kept either, because he was Tao Ying's son.
They bribed the handymen at the performance venue and manipulated the stage.
Because the handyman is very aware of Tao Baye's habits, he has to personally check the props every time before going on stage.
There is no use in manipulating his props, but the stage is different. Tao Baye will not check the stage.
The stage collapsed, causing Tao Baye's props to lose support, and others fell from the high platform. It was only fate that prevented them from falling to death.
When the people of the Haisha Gang learned that his legs were disabled, his appearance was completely disfigured, and he would spend the rest of his life in pain, which was worse than death, they did not kill him.
"Young Madam, since you are a member of the world, have you ever heard of the treasures of the Dragon Palace?"
Tao Baye originally called me girl, but when he heard the guard Jia call me young lady, he also changed his tune.
"You can just call me Xiao An. Even though I am just a small shrimp in the world, I have heard some rumors."
"Then do you believe that there is this treasure in the sea?"
"Maybe. Treasures sink at the bottom of the sea. It's easy to hide but hard to find. If I had a way to dive like a fish, I would also hide the treasure at the bottom of the sea, so that it would be difficult for others to steal it."
Tao Baye chuckled and took off the necklace braided with hemp rope from his neck. The pendant was a small stone fish.
It's just an ordinary stone, neither gold nor silver nor jade. The shape of the fish is also simple, in the style of a simple drawing.
"You can save A Bao and send him to live with your relatives at all risks. I believe you are a good person."
"Uh...actually..."
"We, the Tao family, have our own sins to atone for, and we will not stop until the blood debt is repaid."
"Baye, what do you mean?"
"In my grandfather's generation, there were twelve brothers, and only one survived to adulthood. As for my father, he was my grandfather's only son. He thought of many ways to keep us brothers alive, but in the end he only kept me. There are two people with Fifth Brother.”
Tao Baye said, looking at Tao Abao who was sleeping in the arms of guard Jia.
"There are some things that you have to believe." Tao Baye sighed deeply and said, "Whether A Bao can be kept depends on God's will."
Before entering the hospital, I used my powers to examine Mr. Tao Ba. Not only was his face disfigured and his legs broken, he also lost the ability to have offspring.
Therefore, Tao Abao will be the Tao family's only hope. If Abao dies, the Tao family will be completely over.
Tao Baye did not say the specific reasons for the decline of the Tao family, but he mentioned the blood debt, which already showed from the side that the Tao family ancestors had done things that were unscrupulous.
This evil deed should not be trivial, affecting future generations and shortening their lives.
"Fifth brother has always wanted to make amends and repay this debt. He has helped the poor and weak and given charity for many years. He only hopes that his children and grandchildren will be safe, but..."
Tao Wuye's reputation in the world is well known to everyone. Everyone only thinks that he has a good heart, but they didn't expect that he has this level.
He did many good deeds and only wanted the safety of his children and grandchildren. However, his son and daughter-in-law still died early, leaving only his grandson with a bleak future. It is not yet known whether he will grow up.
"The Haisha Gang is so powerful that I, an old loser, can't protect Ah Bao." Tao Baye's tone was sad and more helpless.
"I would like to trouble the young lady with something."
"You say."
"Help me send Po to my apprentice."
"Where is your apprentice?"
"He went to the Demon Cult to seek revenge. He should be successful. Just send A Bao to the Demon Cult and hand it over to him."
"ah…"
"My disciple's surname is Ximen, and his name is Caigou. He is the son of the former leader of the Demon Sect."
"I'm just saying your puppet looks a bit familiar."
"What? Have you seen him?"
"More than that, he went to the Demon Cult to seek revenge, but he failed. He is still in prison. It turns out his name is Ximen Caigou."
"Is he still alive?"
"Don't worry you won't die if you're alive. I'm very familiar with the leader of the Demon Sect, Ximen. He has no ill intentions towards Cai Gou, but because Cai Gou sneaked into the Demon Sect and caused trouble, he will be locked up for a while."
"Do you also believe what people in the Demon Cult say?"
"Why don't you believe it? Our young lady is the deputy leader of the Demon Cult."
Jia Kuaisui revealed my part-time identity, and Tao Baye was stunned.
That wasn't the end of it, Guard Jia immediately added fuel to the fire: "She is also the long-lost sister of Master Ximen!"
Master Tao Ba did not answer, but Guard Jia kept talking: "Your disciple was captured by my young lady, but the demon sect has changed its appearance under the management of the young lady -"
"Danniu." I called guard Jia and gave him a look to see for myself.
He shut up immediately, turned around and sat with his back to me, holding Tao Abao in his arms.
His broad back was hunched over, looking like a frightened ostrich.
"It's human nature for Mr. Ba to feel sorry for his disciples, but he really wanted to start killing people in the Demon Cult, but I stopped him. I was the one who put him in prison. Master Ximen has no ill intentions towards his brother. We passed the document a few days ago. Trust me, the rookie has food and drink in prison, and no one is mistreating him."
I paused and then said, "I know the strange rules of the Demon Cult, but Leader Ximen is different from his father. He is a person who attaches great importance to family ties and does not care about power and status."
"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have broken up with the elders and had to take our young lady back to get to know each other." Guard Jia turned around and added.
"He also gave me the position of deputy leader. If the elders hadn't threatened him with death, he would have even given me the position of leader."
Guard Jia turned around again and answered: "Master Ximen is obsessed with martial arts and has no interest in other things. No, no, there is also marriage. He is also interested in marriage."
"You and Cai Gou?" I turned around and wanted to ask how Tao Baye and Cai Gou became master and apprentice.
Tao Baye had a complicated look on his face, hesitated for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, his eyes becoming more and more vicissitudes of life.
He said that he and Cai Gou's mother were old friends. He was born in a martial arts family, but he always wanted to learn magic and jugglery, while Cai Gou's mother was born in a scholarly family and loved martial arts since she was a child.
The two had known each other since they were young, and met by chance at a festival market. They hit it off and talked happily.
One of them wants to run away from home and join the magic world; the other wants to escape from home and learn martial arts from a master.
At the age of eleven or twelve, they are young boys who are imagining the future and running wild.
But later, Tao Baye's dream came true, but the girl never did, so she had to settle for the next best thing and marry a warrior.
Unfortunately, life after marriage was not a happy one. Within a few years, her husband was defeated and died in a competition.
After her husband died, the girl disappeared for several years and completely lost contact with Tao Baye.
When she reappeared, she was holding a little boy in her arms. She told Tao Baye that the boy's father was the leader of the Demon Cult. Because her child was not the best heir and was not qualified to stay in the Demon Cult, the two of them were kicked out. .
However, on the way back home, they were assassinated and someone poisoned their meals.
She didn't see the person who poisoned him, but she recognized the poison she took.
It is the seven-day madness poison unique to the Demon Cult. As the name suggests, if you take this poison, you will suddenly go crazy and lose your mind after seven days.
It happened that Ximen CaiGou was in a bad temper that day and refused to eat in anger.
The couple had a quarrel at the dinner table, and she ate all the food in a fit of rage.
The Ximen Cai dog didn't eat even if he was hungry at night, and he never made a fuss at mealtimes from then on.
The toxicity begins to show after three days, by which time detoxification is useless.
When the woman saw the black line extending from her stomach to her heart, she knew she was suffering from seven-day madness.
It would take more than ten days to return to the Demon Cult from where she was, and she couldn't make it in time no matter what.
The person who poisoned her must have calculated the time so that she would not be able to go back in time to seek help.
The other party wanted to poison the two of them to madness, but instead of poisoning them to death, who else could be the one to poison them?
