Thirty years ago, Tong Chen used the illusion to kill the four thieves and a group of enemies who came to hunt them down 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.
The "Glutious Thief" Han Li had a secret recipe passed down by Duke Taihe that he got from somewhere.
Many people may not know this Duke Taihe, but I say there is another person you should know, namely Zhuan Zhu, one of the four assassins in "Historical Records: Biography of Assassins".
According to legend, 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. "This led him to the prince Ji Guang's house and staged the famous "sword hidden in the belly of the fish" play.
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 of great value to a foodie like Han Li. Said, it is indeed a priceless treasure.
Next, let’s talk about the “Longyang Dao” Zhu Meng; even though he is not the boss, among the four thieves, he has the highest martial arts.
Why is Zhu Meng beautiful, like a woman, and speaking 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 "Duo Qing Jue", which caused some problems with his body's endocrine system, and the hormone ratio Out of tune.
Speaking of this "Love Skill", 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 a sinner. Who would have thought that one of her descendants would be Zhu Meng...
But 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, several unscrupulous relatives seized Zhu Meng's ancestral property and sold the young Zhu Meng to a brothel (a brothel). Another way to call it) is to be a little turtle slave.
This family secret book was brought out by Zhu Meng after he secretly hid it on his body. It is also the only relic of his parents that he has kept.
Fortunately at this time, 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". "Come.
Actually, if you really talk about it in detail, the "Passionate Art" skill is not absolutely only for women to practice. If your talent, understanding and martial arts foundation are high enough, you know how to modify it.Some details, even men can practice it.
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 he was young and heard Master Yuan chanting the "Nine Sun Sutra"; later Guo Xiang developed When the sect was established, her martial arts attainments were enough to modify the 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...
Since his parents died early, no one told him from the beginning that "The Art of Love" is a martial art practiced by women, and Zhu Meng There was no introductory master in martial arts, so he learned everything by himself; coupled with the experience of being tricked by his relatives, it was 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, 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...60 to 70% is enough.
After all, this is superior martial arts. It is more than enough to compare with those martial arts masters, but with 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 It's called "getting back what belongs to me", and the extra money 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, it was also handed over to Lanruo Temple with him...
Next, it is time to say that the "Zhuge Bandit" Lan Shuoli has left; what this brother left behind The thing is very interesting - design drawings.
As mentioned above, Lan Shuoli likes "clever things" the most, such as traps, smoke screens and flying needles. To put it more bluntly, this person 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 put the results of his lifelong research, namely those designs The drawings are all hidden in a metal box that is about the same size as a schoolbag. 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. He really doesn't need to learn anything special. Qing Gong, because ordinary Qing Gong is already like "stepping on the left foot and spiraling to the sky with the right foot" when he performs it. If you ask him to learn a stronger Qing Gong, there won't be much improvement when he actually performs it.
This is like, you goA key high school can barely score 620 points in the college entrance examination, but he can get a score of 650 or more in an ordinary high school, so 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 voucher 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, and 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 will not be used until It can still be redeemed today.
It’s hard to say what exactly this “flying thief” keeps in the cabinet, but judging from his character who values wealth as much as his life, 80% of it is worth more than money and can be preserved. Things, antique calligraphy and painting are highly likely.
The above four items are what Sun Huanglei and the others got after searching the room.
Tongchen did not 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, Shuanghe and Lei Buji became cheaper.
Just when the three of them were preparing to divide the spoils, Miaoyinzi came back. However, he was the only one who came back, and Xie Run did not come in.
"Eh? 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." Miao Yinzi said.
"Huh?" 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."< /p>
“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 also still on the island and safe and sound. I have told Xie Donor about the boatman and the boat. Position, let them leave first." Miao Yinzi replied.
"Wait a minute..." Sun Yixie said, "Then if they take the boat away, wouldn't we all be trapped here?"
"That's what I said... ...Heh..." Miaoyinzi smiled, "Are you afraid that you won't be able to leave while I'm here?"
"Well..." Sun Yixie rolled his eyes again, "That's true. Ah, then... Taoist priest, why don't you just blow us away to Wuchang?"
"Do you really think I'm a god? I can save hundreds of you just by blowing my breath. Li Di, will I be late this day?" Miao Yinzi asked.
"Okay." Sun Yixie thought it was right, and then said, "But I don't know why the Taoist Master asked Brother Xie to leave first?"
"He The direction he wants to go after crossing the river is different from yours, and he also carries an ominous thing on his body, which will cause a lot of disasters. I saw that he is a decent man and has a somewhat chivalrous heart, so I gave him some guidance. , 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 he will definitely repay you well when we meet again in the future."
"Oh, that's it." Sun Yi Xie nodded in response.
"In addition..." Miaoyinzi didn't finish her words, "I do have something to ask you three to help with, so I need you to stay for a while."
Then, Miaoyinzi The disciple then told them all the relevant legends about 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 encountered before was really "Yelü Baoqi". The principle of Tongchen's evil method was to parasitize the innocent souls trapped here into the paper. People, and then let them serve for themselves, because these paper people themselves are conscious, so the "counterfeiters" in the illusion will be more realistic and flexible in their actions.
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, 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 Mianyinzi did what he did, I think everyone can guess that 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.
On the second day, the sky was bright.
Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji woke up almost at the same time.
After they stood up and looked around, they 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 carefully placed around them. .
The three of them have no memory of when they fell asleep, and they don’t know how they got here. Everything yesterday seemed to be a dream, but those terrifying memories and the things they got are all gone again. Reminding them that all of this 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 divide the stolen goods: Firstly, among these four relics, there was indeed nothing he wanted very much; secondly, after listening to Miaoyinzi’s story about Lanruo Temple’s past, he already knew that these four things were left behind by “thieves”. It's from someone else, and his father once told him that in the world, it's best not to touch something belonging to a thief, because you can't tell who the last owner of this thing was. Revenge, in the end, I followed the thing and took revenge on you, you can't explain it clearly.
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 have died in Lanruo Temple, even if they are really still alive. There are other victims who come to the door because of these relics, and they are confident that they can deal with it with their own shamelessness and sophistry.
So, in the end, Sun and Huang added two to one to make five, divided the account in half, and returned the recipes and counter tickets.After leaving Sun Yixie, Huang Dong came to get the secret book and the box.
This miraculous incident on the Shihe River has come to an end.
The three young heroes embarked on the journey again, walking into the rolling mountains between Xinyang and Wuchang...
