Fourth watch time.
The Kaiguo Hou Mansion was peaceful, and the people in the mansion seemed to have fallen asleep.
There is a rockery in the garden in the northwest corner of the mansion.
At this time, in the shadow of a big tree outside the rockery, a figure stood motionless.
And under the corner not far away, there was another figure standing.
At the same time, on the rockery and on the roof not far away, there were two blurry ghost figures standing.
The eyes of these people were constantly wandering around the house.
"Meow--"
At this time, a kitten with snow-white fur suddenly jumped onto the courtyard wall, its amber eyes glowing with a faint green light in the night.
The soul on the roof glanced at it but didn't care.
This was the favorite kitten of Founding Marquis Xu's wife. She would play in the mansion every night and occasionally catch a few mice for fun.
"Whoosh!"
The kitten walked leisurely on the courtyard wall for a while, then jumped down lightly and ran elsewhere.
It soon entered a room.
After a while, he came out of the house and entered another room.
Soon, it visited all the houses in the house.
Even the kitchen, woodshed, and some utility rooms and huts were entered.
Then, it came near the rockery.
"Whoosh——"
It jumped up to the roof.
Shenhun, who was standing on the rooftop on sentry duty, frowned slightly and waved his hand, causing a gloomy wind to hit the kitten's face.
The kitten was startled and stopped in place, looking around in confusion.
"Little one, go play somewhere else!"
Shenhun waved his hand and released a stream of evil wind, then suddenly turned his head and looked at the wall on the other side.
On the courtyard wall over there, a black cat was squatting there, looking at him silently with cold eyes.
There was a hint of suspicion in Shenhun's eyes, and when he was about to take a closer look, he suddenly turned around and looked behind him.
The white cat came quietly behind him like a ghost.
"Uh-huh!"
Before the soul could react, an invisible hand suddenly grabbed his throat from behind and dragged him directly to the other side of the roof.
Just when he was about to sound the alarm in panic, the whole soul was suddenly crushed with a "pop", and then an electric arc flashed, and he instantly disappeared into nothing.
Above the roof, silence soon returned.
The white cat walked up to the ridge of the roof, glanced at the spirit on the rockery, and then jumped onto the courtyard wall with a slight jump.
The black cat squatting on the courtyard wall just now walked along the dark corner to the sentry standing in the corner.
At this time, the soul on the rockery turned around and looked at the roof.
The moonlight is like frost and the roof is empty.
He was stunned for a moment, his figure flashed, and he flew up into the air. His eyes looked further, but he still didn't see the soul.
"Huh? Where are the people?"
He felt something was wrong in his heart, and suddenly looked towards the corner. He happened to see the black cat suddenly jump out of the darkness, with a flash of cold light from its claws, and grabbed the neck of the warrior who was standing guard in the corner!
The warrior shook his body, covered his neck, and widened his eyes.
Immediately, blood spurted out and he fell to the ground without even a sound coming out of his mouth.
When the soul saw this scene in mid-air, his expression suddenly changed, and he opened his mouth wide to give a warning.
But what confused him was that he couldn't make any sound.
At the same time, he suddenly found that he had become lighter and seemed to be shaking. When he looked down, his eyes suddenly widened!
His body was still floating in place.
And his head flew out lightly.
"Zi——"
A purple arc of electricity flashed across, and his head and body instantly turned into nothing!
And at this moment.
The figure standing under the big tree seemed to have not yet reacted.
But suddenly, he seemed to smell a smell of blood.
Just as he turned his head to look at the corner, a figure suddenly appeared behind him and whispered: "Stop talking and take me in."
He was startled, and just as he was about to pull out the knife from his waist, his body suddenly shook and froze in place, motionless.
The corpses and the smell of blood in the corner were quickly submerged in the white powder. The guards in other parts of the mansion were still patrolling quietly.
This garden is still as quiet as ever.
"Meow--"
But the black cat looked confused and left suddenly.
at the same time.
Under the rockery, there is a long and narrow passage.
In front of the passage is a stone door.
And inside the stone gate, there is a wide secret room hidden.
The chamber is divided into several parts.
Like a house, there are several rooms, each room is blocked by a stone door.
At this time, in the middle hall.
The founding lord Tang Jingde was sitting at the table, looking at a secret letter with a solemn expression.
Behind him stood his eldest son and second son, as well as two gray-haired old men.
Opposite him, sat a young woman wearing purple clothes.
Dozens of men in black robes with powerful auras stood in the surrounding corners.
After reading the secret letter in his hand, Tang Jingde's face changed for a moment before he said: "Fairy Gu, I have done too much for you. If you are discovered, you will be executed. After this massacre of the Nanguo County Prince's Mansion, , the eldest princess will definitely be vigilant. If you want to massacre the Qin family and Prince Duan's palace again, I'm afraid it will be difficult. But...since I have already done it, I am naturally willing to continue to serve your sect. It's just..."
The woman in purple sitting opposite her looked arrogant and said, "Marquis Kaiguo, please tell me if you have anything to say."
Tang Jingde looked at him, cupped his hands, and said: "The Fairy Lan of your sect promised me that if this matter comes to an end, she will let my family of four go to your sect to practice. Now that the matter is urgent, I am afraid that there will be danger at any time. I hope that I can Can I let my two sons go to your sect first, and Fairy Gu can see them?"
Then he added: "They have good talents. I can guarantee that they will be loyal to your sect."
When the woman in purple heard this, her face turned cold and she said: "Master Hou is too impatient. Since Senior Sister Lan has promised you, she will naturally not regret it. When this matter is over, she will accept them as my disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect."
After saying that, his tone softened again: "Now things here have just begun. We can't take action openly. We can only rely on you. This is the time to employ people. These two sons of the Marquis are smart and clever, and their cultivation is also good. , you should make more contributions to our sect here. When the time comes to join the sect, your treatment will naturally be better than that of other disciples."
As soon as these words came out, Tang Jingde did not dare to say anything more and could only say: "In that case, I will ask Fairy Gu to take care of me from now on."
The woman in purple said calmly: "I am just a low-ranking outer disciple in the sect. The reason why Senior Sister Lan sent me here is because I will not attract the attention of other people and other forces. According to the regulations, actually I can't Appear here. When it comes to future care, we naturally have to rely on Senior Sister Lan. She is one of the most promising disciples in the inner sect. Mr. Marquis, as long as we handle this matter well this time, in the future in the sect, we will naturally Everything will go smoothly. When Senior Sister Lan gets the spiritual mineral rights and military rights here, she will probably be taken more seriously in the sect, and by then, we will naturally be better off..."
Tang Jingde pondered for a moment and asked: "Fairy Gu, it is said that the Qin family is the weakest, and the eldest princess attaches great importance to the son-in-law of the Qin family. It is estimated that some of the schemes in the past few days were the result of the son-in-law. Why are we here tonight?" Don’t you want to slaughter them first?”
After hearing this, the woman in purple thought for a while and said: "This is Senior Sister Lan's decision, and I don't know. Maybe the Nanguo County King is more important to that woman. After all, he has considerable weight among the various princes. If he is allowed to do it again, If we keep contacting and bewitching, I'm afraid the other princes will surrender."
At this time, Tang Jun, the eldest son of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly raised his hands and said, "Fairy Gu, since the son-in-law of the Qin family is just a scholar, why don't you go and deal with him tomorrow?"
The woman in purple glanced at him lightly and said, "Let's wait until Senior Sister Lan comes back."
She glanced at the jade in her hand and said, "It should be soon. There are not many experts in the Nanguo County Prince's Palace, and Senior Sister Lan possessed her personally. It will probably be solved soon."
Tang Jingde sneered and said: "Tomorrow dawn will probably shake the whole of Kyoto and Dayan. Let them all see the consequences of following her!"
"who?"
At this moment, the woman in purple suddenly looked towards the door.
The faces of everyone in the stone room changed and they stood up.
At this time, the guard's voice came from outside: "Master Marquis, this is Madam's cat."
"cat?"
Tang Jingde was stunned when he heard this, and then he opened the cave door.
A small white cat was squatting at the door, its tail swaying slightly, and a pair of amber eyes looking curiously into the stone room.
Tang Jingde frowned, and when he was about to go up and pick him up, the woman in purple suddenly shouted: "Be careful!"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Jingde immediately took a few steps back.
A light flashed in the hand of the woman in purple clothes, and she took out a bronze mirror. She then took a few steps forward, pointed at the white cat at the door, and said coldly: "Why did the cat suddenly come to the secret room? Be careful, someone is possessed by a spirit. .”
After saying that, the bronze mirror in his hand flashed with light, covering the white cat.
Everyone in the stone room became nervous.
However, the white cat was still squatting there, tilting its head, looking curiously at the mirror that emitted the beam of light. There was nothing unusual about it.
The woman in purple looked at it for a while, then felt a little embarrassed. She put away the bronze mirror and yelled at the guards outside: "Who told you guys to let it in? Get it out!"
Tang Jingde also scolded sternly: "What did I give you before? Without my instructions, nothing is allowed in! I won't let you go leniently next time!"
The guard outside the door was immediately frightened. He hurriedly picked up the white cat on the ground and walked out.
Tang Jingde snorted coldly, closed the stone door, and then said with a smile on his face: "Fairy Gu, don't be surprised, that white cat is my wife's treasure, no one else dares to expel it casually. It's a false alarm, a false alarm..."
The woman in purple had a cold face and was about to sit down when she suddenly moved her nose and asked suspiciously: "What does it smell like?"
Tang Jingde was slightly startled when he heard this, and immediately sniffed around, wondering: "Fairy Gu, does it have no smell?"
The woman in purple frowned and walked to the door again to smell it.
Tang Jingde guessed: "Could it be brought by the kitten just now? That kitten is very naughty and likes to play in the flowers. It may be contaminated with some pollen."
Then he added: "Don't worry, Fairy Gu. I have set up many sentries outside the door, as well as outside the cave. There are also formations under the ground. No one else will be able to sneak in..."
"boom!"
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared from the ground, as fast as lightning, and punched the purple-clothed woman in the back!
The woman in purple was caught off guard and was hit directly, and a protective light shield instantly appeared on her body.
But that fist actually carried a red thunderbolt, and with a "click", the body-protecting light shield on the purple-clothed woman was smashed to pieces with one punch!
The face of the woman in purple changed greatly. Taking advantage of the impact, she flew forward and hurriedly took out a crimson ball!
However, before she could release the power of the ball, the golden fist struck her again with incredible speed!
"boom!"
A bang!
The crimson ball in her hand was directly thrown away, and her body was directly smashed into the stone wall in front of her!
Before she could mobilize the power in her body, the golden fist with thunder and lightning hit her chest hard again!
"boom!"
The fists exploded, the lightning flashed and the thunder thundered!
There was a sudden "click" in her chest, her ribs were broken and dented!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In an instant, dozens more golden fists hit her body and face!
The woman in purple was hit on the spot, her whole body was dented, her head exploded, her flesh and blood were blurred, and she died!
"Zi——"
A purple thunderbolt appeared and instantly killed her soul as she was about to escape!
"ah--"
Only then did she have time to let out a shrill scream.
However, her soul was destroyed too quickly, and she screamed and stopped suddenly.
From the moment when the figure suddenly appeared from the ground to when the purple-clothed woman's body and soul were destroyed, it looked like she had performed many tricks, but in fact, she was so fast that the whole process was over in almost an instant!
It wasn't until this moment that the three fathers and sons of the Tang family came to their senses.
The disciples of the mighty Piaomiao Immortal Sect were killed without even using a single move!
"How dare you, the thief...ah - it's poisonous!"
Tang Jingde roared angrily, and just as he was about to surround the terrifying sneak attacker with everyone, his legs suddenly weakened and he almost fell. He was shocked, horrified, frightened and angry: "Despicable..."
"boom!"
Luo Qingzhou didn't kill him first, but in front of him, he punched his eldest son's head, then grabbed his second son's neck, and then punched him through the chest!
"ah--"
Tang Jingde saw with his own eyes that the two sons he had high hopes for died tragically in front of him. He screamed miserably and desperately, then gritted his teeth and said, "Beast! What on earth are you..."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything nonsense, he directly exploded with the power of his master, beating all the remaining black-robed men in the room to a bloody pulp, destroying their corpses and destroying their souls!
At this moment, Tang Jingde, seeing this terrible scene, was so frightened that his face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he could no longer say a word...
Luo Qingzhou finished killing the last man in black robe, then turned around and walked in front of him.
Tang Jingde trembled and said: "You...who are you? What do you have to do with my founding of the Marquis Mansion..."
He was suddenly shaken and his eyes widened.
Luo Qingzhou slowly took off the black tiger mask on his face. Under the mask was his original appearance.
Tang Jingde's eyes widened, as if he had seen an evil ghost crawling out of hell. His teeth chattered and his lips trembled as he said, "You... you are... the... wife of... the Qin family..."
Luo Qingzhou saw that he was in a state of panic and confusion, so he stared into his eyes and asked, "Besides these people, who else is there in Kyoto?"
"Did you send Su Qingwan? Besides wanting to kill me, who else was there?"
"When did the people from the Piaomiao Immortal Sect find you?"
"Also, besides you, they should be looking for someone else, right?"
"Do you have any treasures in your house?"
"Where to hide?"
He asked a lot of questions.
Tang Jingde gritted his teeth and didn't answer any of them.
After Luo Qingzhou asked, he said: "Don't worry, your two sons will not die alone. With you, your wife, and the entire founding prince's family with you..."
"Ah - you! Beast..."
Tang Jingde's face suddenly twisted and he rushed towards him as if he was crazy.
"Bang!"
Luo Qingzhou punched his entire face and said, "When you massacred others, did you ever think about today?"
After that, he punched his head.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Soon, the stone doors of the secret rooms on both sides were broken by him.
In a secret room, there were many gold coins and several large boxes of gold and silver treasures piled up.
In another secret room, various weapons and armors are placed.
The remaining secret rooms are filled with debris, some of which are dried elixirs, and some of which are materials for refining weapons.
Luo Qingzhou put all these things away.
Immediately, several buckets of lamp oil were poured on the entire stone chamber.
Just as he was about to leave, his heart suddenly moved and he looked at the body of the woman in purple on the wall.
At this time, in the storage ring, Dabao and Erbao suddenly let out an excited cry.
"Is there any treasure?"
He hesitated and released Dabao and Erbao.
Normally, for safety reasons, he would never take anything from his enemies now.
But if there is any abnormal movement between the two treasures, it means that the other party must have a great treasure.
"Whoosh——"
As soon as Dabao Erbao landed, his figure flashed, he quickly jumped up the wall and pounced on the body of the woman in purple.
Before they could touch her, a red light suddenly lit up in the purple-clothed woman's skirt, flickering inside.
Luo Qingzhou stretched out his hand to grab it and used the magic of controlling objects. The red light in the skirt flew out with a "swish" and landed in his palm.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a palm-sized flaming red feather fan!
This feather fan is not only made of feathers, it is brightly colored and has some weird symbols engraved on the feathers. When held in the palm of the hand, a warm energy radiates out.
It’s not a good place to stay for a long time!
Luo Qingzhou did not dare to delay, and immediately put away the feather fan. After thinking about it, he put the bronze mirror on her body and the crimson bead that fell in the corner into the storage ring.
Now that you have taken one, let’s take the other two together.
"Wow!"
He put away the big treasure and the second treasure, punched out, and a ball of flame flew out of the fist, instantly igniting the lamp oil on the ground.
The stone chamber immediately burst into flames.
Luo Qingzhou came out of the ground and set the entire house on fire in the Founding Marquis Mansion.
He had placed a large bucket of lamp oil and vegetable oil in each room before. As soon as the flames were ignited, the entire Founding Marquis Mansion burned instantly.
"Uh-huh!"
The flying sword suddenly flew into the night sky, and then turned into a rain of swords falling from the sky.
All the guards in the mansion were killed without leaving a single one behind!
Immediately, he got into the ground and disappeared.
That night, the entire Founding Prince's Mansion was reduced to ashes!
at the same time.
Thousands of miles away in the deep mountains and deep valleys, a moon-white figure finally discovered a purple-gold grass in the gap between the stone walls of the abyss.
There were scars on her jade hands, so she picked them carefully.
After a while.
She came to a damp cave full of weeds, sat down cross-legged, and prepared to rest for a while.
Just as she closed her eyes and prepared to run the technique, she suddenly paused again, and lines of clear fonts appeared in her mind unconsciously...
"When the Tao rushes into use, it may not be full. The abyss is like the origin of all things. Defeat its sharpness, resolve its confusion, harmonize its light, and share its dust..."
"Heaven and earth last forever. The reason why heaven and earth can last forever is because they do not generate themselves, so they can live forever..."
She closed her eyes, held her breath and concentrated, lost in selflessness, playing these words over and over again in her mind...
Suddenly, she formed a seal with her jade hands, and the soul power in her body slowly surged out.
"If you look at it but don't see it, it's called Yi; if you hear it but you don't know it, it's called Xi; if you fight it but you don't know it, it's called Wei..."
She whispered.
"Wow!"
After an unknown amount of time, a bright light suddenly lit up between her eyebrows.
In an instant, the entire cave was illuminated!
Strange and twisted words appeared strangely from the void and began to slowly pour into her eyebrows...
The snow-white dress on her body and the long black hair behind her were all fluttering gently.
"It actually... became..."
"Tao Te Ching..."
"Sure enough...it can be lifted..."
