Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

Not far away, there were a few bird calls outside the window. Xu Mingjie stood up, sorted out his clothes, and decided to go out for a walk to sort out his thoughts. He walked along the path into the depths of the courtyard. Although the scenery there was quiet, it gave him a moment of peace of mind. The wind gently blew the leaves, making a rustling sound, which made him feel a little comforted.

Not long after he left, he met several old neighbors who expressed their concern for him. Xu Mingjie responded to their greetings and tried to maintain a calm appearance, but he could hardly hide his anxiety. They talked and laughed, talking about trivial family matters, which made him feel a sense of unfamiliar comfort. Xu Mingjie secretly told himself that this moment of tranquility might be a short-lived luxury for him, but it was necessary.

After returning to the room, Xu Mingjie began to sort out the information related to Qinglong. In his mind, Qinglong's stern face and the threatening voice of Qinglong in the battle kept reverberating. Although the victory in the battle made him relax temporarily, he knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg and there were still unknown dangers behind it.

He pondered over Qinglong's plan and suddenly thought that there might be some key clues that were overlooked. Xu Mingjie took out the note and carefully pondered the numbers on it again. These numbers did not seem like ordinary codes, but more like a special mark. After careful analysis, he gradually deduced that these numbers might be related to Qinglong's capital flow.

He decided to take action to find more clues. So, a few days later, Xu Mingjie went to a financial district in the city, where he knew the source of funds for the Qinglong conspiracy might be hidden. He disguised himself as an ordinary business investigator and began to investigate secretly.

In a hidden financial trading hall, Xu Mingjie found some suspicious financial records that seemed to be closely related to Qinglong's underground organization. His intuition told him that these records might be the key to uncovering the whole conspiracy. He began to secretly copy these files and quickly left the place before leaving.

Back at the courtyard, Xu Mingjie couldn't wait to analyze the records. He found that the files showed a secret capital chain, which ultimately pointed to a new organization called "Black Snake". Xu Mingjie realized that Qinglong was not the ultimate controller behind all this, but "Black Snake" was the real threat.

He decided to investigate the "Black Snake" immediately. However, he encountered many difficulties and dangers during the investigation. Every time he got closer to the truth, there were enemies who were secretly monitoring him and putting pressure on him. His life began to become more tense, and every step was full of danger.

During a crucial investigation, Xu Mingjie met an insider of the Black Snake organization named Li Rui. He was a senior member of the organization and had a deep understanding of the secrets of the Black Snake. Xu Mingjie decided to negotiate with Li Rui, hoping to get more useful information from him.

In a dimly lit cafe, Xu Mingjie and Li Rui sat face to face. Li Rui's face was pale, and there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes. He was obviously tired of his situation, but he remained alert. "What do you want to know?" Li Rui asked in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"I need to know what the real goal of the 'Black Snake' is," Xu Mingjie answered bluntly, "and how they are related to the Azure Dragon."

Li Rui's eyes flickered, as if he was weighing whether to reveal more information. "The goal of 'Black Snake' is not only to control the underground market, they also want to achieve greater power and influence by manipulating the flow of funds." He paused and continued, "Qinglong is only a part of them. The real controller is a person called 'Shadow'."

Xu Mingjie's heart suddenly shook. "Shadow?" He repeated. This name was full of mystery. "Who is he?"

Li Rui sighed and shook his head. "'Shadow' is an extremely secretive person. Almost no one has ever seen his true face. His existence is like a legend. It is almost impossible to find him."

Xu Mingjie was silent for a moment. He knew that this "shadow" was the ultimate mystery. He decided to continue tracking this mysterious mastermind and uncover the truth of this dark organization as much as possible. Although he felt a little frustrated, he was also full of firm determination. The heavy blow from his master, Qinglong's conspiracy and the threat from the "Black Snake" were all challenges he had to face, and he would never give up easily.

As time went by, Xu Mingjie dug deeper and deeper into the secrets of the "Black Snake" organization. Every step he took was full of risks, but he never backed down. He knew that this was not just a battle, but a war between justice and darkness.

During the investigation, he met some like-minded friends who were willing to help him uncover the truth about Black Snake. Although these friends came from different backgrounds, they all admired Xu Mingjie's persistence and determination. With their help, Xu Mingjie gradually gained more intelligence and got closer to the true identity of "Shadow".

Xu Mingjie strolled along the dark streets, his footsteps echoing in the quiet streets. He was in a heavy mood, and every step seemed to be heavy, carrying a heavy burden. The images that troubled him kept revolving in his mind, not only Qinglong's conspiracy, but also the master's serious injury and the clues that kept emerging. Today, he also unexpectedly got some new information, which made him feel even more complicated.

When he passed a dim alley, he suddenly saw several people talking in low voices at the end of the alley. They were several members related to the "Black Snake", and their conversation caught Xu Mingjie's attention. He quietly approached and listened to their conversation, hoping to get some useful information from it.

"The plan for this operation has changed. Shadow suddenly decided to change his strategy." One of them whispered with uneasiness in his tone.

"We have no idea of ​​Shadow's intentions. All information comes through indirect channels." Another person answered, "However, we have been ordered to speed up the progress and complete the mission no matter what."

Xu Mingjie was shocked. The decision of the "shadow" obviously had a huge impact on their plan. He knew that he had to act quickly so as not to miss any key opportunities.

After leaving the alley, Xu Mingjie returned to the courtyard. His footsteps sounded particularly abrupt in the empty courtyard. It was completely dark, and the courtyard was strangely quiet, with only the occasional sound of wind and rustling leaves, which seemed to remind him how peaceful and warm it used to be.
