"Hahaha……"
After hearing the words of the big man with a beard, several teams laughed and were quite happy.
After being beaten and fleeing outside Changping City, they had been wandering together for many days. They had spent enough time wandering around and living in fear.
Now that the Qingping Palace has been destroyed, there is a foundation, and there is no need to move around, which is naturally the best result.
"Brother."
A team was chuckling as they came closer and said, "Don't forget, there are several villages and towns nearby."
"We won't do anything like killing the goose that lays the goose to lay eggs, but we will also squeeze out all their profit!"
"right!"
Upon hearing this, the big man with a beard also lit up his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget them!"
"We now occupy Cuiping Mountain, they can't escape..."
While they were talking, another soldier hurriedly came to report: "Report to the captain that a secret room has been discovered."
"Secret room?"
The bearded man looked slightly moved, and immediately waved his hand: "Let's go and have a look together."
Soon, everyone came from the basement of Zangzhen Pavilion to the deepest pavilion of Qingping Palace - Shangqing Pavilion.
In the Shangqing Pavilion, a wall had been smashed, revealing a secret room about two feet square. Several soldiers were guarding the door with torches.
"this……"
The tall man with a beard and several team members walked into the secret room and took a look, then their expressions changed.
What is stored in this secret room is not gold and silver treasures, but armors, crossbows, and weapons.
On the pavilion on the left, dozens of swords were neatly placed, all wrapped in kraft paper. There was also a smell of oil, obviously they were maintained frequently.
In addition, there are more than a dozen powerful crossbows, all with their strings loosened. Next to them are stacked crossbow arrows, filled with two large boxes.
Finally, there are some of the most conspicuous pieces of armor. In addition to a few pieces of thick leather armor, there is also a pair of bright silver fine iron full-body armor with a tiger head swallowing its mouth, looking majestic.
"What the hell is this world like? There are bows, crossbows and armor hidden in Taoist temples."
The bearded man cursed, with uncontrollable fear in his eyes.
Looking at these armors and powerful crossbows, it was not difficult for him to imagine what kind of situation they would face once the Taoist priests in Qingping Palace were prepared.
Apart from anything else, if the old Taoist priest was allowed to wear this fine iron armor, he wouldn't be enough to kill the three of them.
Once he is killed on the spot, when there is no one to command and the morale of the army is in chaos, a few Taoist priests wearing armor will serve as the spearhead, and the remaining people are holding powerful crossbows. I am afraid that they will be easily defeated with only a few people killed.
"so far so good……"
The eyes of several captains were filled with joy.
The main reason why this raid was successful was that they acted in a covert manner. After they fled nearby, they have been lurking in the mountains and forests without leaking their whereabouts.
After catching a tongue, tortured and tortured him to find out the layout and number of people in the Taoist temple, he made a prompt decision to launch a surprise attack at night, catching the Taoist priests of Qingping Palace by surprise, and was able to succeed in one fell swoop.
If an accident occurs during this process, it will be difficult to predict the outcome of this trip.
"hey-hey……"
After the bearded man calmed down, he quickly laughed out loud: "These bull-nosed men, no matter how well-prepared they are, are they still dead?"
"If they die, these things will be cheaper for us brothers! Hahaha..."
Several teams heard this, looked at each other, and laughed loudly.
…………
Seven days later.
Changping City, in the lobby of Yunlai Inn.
It was noon, and there were many people sitting in the lobby of Yunlai Inn, eating, drinking, and chatting.
"Have you heard that a new and vicious rebel army has appeared in the south?"
"Yes, I heard about it two days ago. It is said that the rebel army killed all the Taoist priests in Qingping Palace and took over the mountain as king."
"Your information is out of date. I heard that they are also extorting money, food and women from good families from several villages and towns down the mountain."
"Hey, before I followed my uncle into the city, I went to Qingping Palace. I didn't expect that this centuries-old inheritance would be lost like this."
"Who says it's not the case? I heard a few years ago that rebels attacked Qingping Palace, and most of them were killed. I didn't expect that they couldn't stop it this time..."
Many diners were talking about it, and the destruction of Qingping Palace became a hot topic.
As a famous Taoist temple from all over the country, the influence of Qingping Palace is not small. Many people in Changping City know about it and feel sorry for it.
In the corner of the lobby on the first floor, Zhang Yao was wearing a long gown, picking up food with an expressionless face, and a hint of gloom flashed deep in his eyes.
"I've been waiting for several days, but there's still no news."
"It seems that Master Guanlu has indeed died in Qingping Palace..."
When he thought of this, his mood became very complicated.
Seven days ago, he headed towards Changping, picking up clothes and shoes from a farmer's family on the way, and it took him two and a half days to get to Changping.
After arriving in Changping, he bought a pair of clean clothes, went to Yunlai Inn and opened a room, and then went around Changping City to collect information about Qingping Palace.
If there are any Taoist priests or Taoist boys in Qingping Palace who have escaped, even if there are only four or five of them, the news cannot be concealed. He can try to find out the news about the real person in Guanlu.
But now——
Seven days have passed, and there is still no news about this.
"Either way, there is no one left alive in Qingping Palace except me."
"Either one or two people escaped, and like me, they deliberately concealed their identities."
Zhang Yao could only sigh when he thought of this.
Under the current circumstances, it was impossible for him to take the risk and go back to search, so he could only acquiesce that Master Guanlu was dead.
Qingping Palace has been destroyed and the teacher is dead. It's time for him to make plans for himself.
Zhang Yao speeded up, and after finishing the meal, he stood up to pay the bill and returned to the room on the second floor.
"Um……"
He sat on the round stool, pondered in silence, and touched the hard object on his waist.
In addition to buying a pair of clean clothes, he also bought needlework and sewed many hidden pockets on his waist and abdomen to hold the silver ingots.
These silver ingots, totaling one hundred and twenty-five taels, were his capital to establish a foothold in Changping City.
"Let's just follow the original plan and use it to practice martial arts."
Zhang Yao quickly made up his mind.
He also considered using the money to do business and buy property, but practicing martial arts did not make him feel at ease.
He is already immortal. If he wants to pursue wealth, power, and enjoy life, he will have many opportunities in the future. It is better to learn his skills now.
"There are five major martial arts schools in Changping City."
"These five major martial arts schools openly accept disciples and teach martial arts. Each one has its own signature skills..."
Zhang Yao's mind was filled with thoughts.
He has not been idle in Changping City these days. He has been wandering around restaurants and tea shops, chatting with many people and getting a lot of useful information.
"Five major martial arts schools, which one should you choose?"
