Pawn Crossing the River

Pei Xiaolou, holding a bamboo stick, appeared in this hidden backyard and looked around: "It's so lively."

Mr. Lei stood up from the recliner, clasped his fists and said, "I have met Master Pei."

Pei Xiaolou looked at Mr. Lei: "The twin thunders of 'Tianting', Lord Lei and Marshal Lei, the twin winds of 'Tianting', Uncle Feng and Marshal Feng, the two elders of Feng and Lei, are powerful in the world, and have been admired for a long time."

"I really can't take it seriously." Mr. Lei was very humble.

Pei Xiaolou smiled slightly, stopped talking nonsense, and directly raised the bamboo stick in his hand, blooming countless streams of light, like tiny meteors, dragging tail marks and flying around.

Mr. Lei stood in front of Yuan Chongzong and ordered: "Send Mr. Yuan away from here."

The two people walked out of the shadows, dressed in neat and elegant clothes, with daggers hanging on their waists, and came to Yuan Chongzong's side.

Yuan Chongzong's expression changed uncertainly, and finally he sighed and left the place with the two of them.

The reason why we chose to burn the account books here is because there is a tunnel in the back hall that leaves Yuan Garden and leads directly to the outside of the city.

Yuan Chongzong and the two of them came to the back hall, and a huge relief sculpture "The Picture of Taishang Taozu Leaving Seclusion and Transforming into Hu" came into view. Taishang Taozu and his green ox were as big and lifelike as real cattle.

Yuan Chongzong went straight to the relief and saw the green bull under the throne of Daozu shaking its head and tail. He stretched out his hand and pressed the horns of the green bull. The horns of the relief could rotate like the hands of a watch. Only the sound of the "click-click" mechanism was heard, and the ground turned over, revealing a downward hole, and a stone staircase leading to the underground was visible.

Yuan Chongzong walked in first, followed by the two men.

On the other side, Mr. Lei casually slapped away the small meteors that were shooting towards him. His robes swayed, and countless black energy gathered upwards.

Although he is Marshal Lei among the four marshals of the "Tianting", what he has learned has nothing to do with the thunder method, but he just made up his name.

I saw a black cloud growing above Mr. Lei's head, and a black evil dragon more than ten feet long was vaguely visible. It was completely condensed from cloud and water vapor. It was lifelike, with teeth and claws.

The bridge that connects heaven and earth and steals the power of heaven and earth. This is heaven and man.

Carrying the mighty power of heaven, the black dragon descended suddenly and crashed into Pei Xiaolou.

Pei Xiaolou shook the bamboo stick in his hand, and dozens of tiny meteors with trailing light tails moved in unison, whirling back and forth, shooting at the black dragon, passing through the body, causing countless ripples, and finally both of them dissipated together. .

Mr. Lei stepped on the ground and left a large crack mark. His figure was like a rainbow when he came to Pei Xiaolou and pushed out with one palm.

Pei Xiaolou raised his staff with his backhand, causing the sound of howling wind.

The two of them separated at the first touch, creating a distance of several feet.

Pei Xiaolou's movements did not stop at all. He stopped the ground with the bamboo stick in his hand and said softly: "Get up!"

A stream of light as thick as an arm broke out of the ground, like a rainbow or a dragon.

Lei Lao did not dodge, but trampled the stream of light into pieces with one kick, exploding into countless scattered tiny meteors. Those responsible for burning the ledger didn't even have time to scream, and they were pierced by these stray streams of light and died. Can't die anymore.

Pei Xiaolou's face was slightly gloomy, he tiptoed, stepped out a circle of Qi ripples, his figure floated, and instantly came to Mr. Lei, and hit Mr. Lei's face hard with his bamboo stick.

Lei Lao, who had expected it, turned his palms into claws and went straight for the middle door of Pei Xiaolou.

The two passed each other, and Pei Xiaolou left a blood mark on Mr. Lei's forehead. Mr. Lei retracted his right hand, put his index finger and middle finger on the stick, and pressed his thumb from the bottom, trying to break the bamboo stick and destroy it. Unexpectedly, Pei Xiaolou released the handle of the stick in an instant and pressed his left hand on the head of the stick. Pushed forward suddenly.

Lei Lao simply stopped caring about the bamboo stick and hit the mountain with his shoulder, intending to smash Pei Xiaolou's chest.

Pei Xiaolou let the bamboo stick fall to the ground, and used Taiping Tao's secret technique "Wuji Jin" to forcefully receive Lei Lao's collision.

This exchange of offense and defense was just a blink of an eye, and the two separated again.

Lei Lao slid backwards and plowed two deep ravines on the solid bluestone ground.

Pei Xiaolou also felt uncomfortable. He was repulsed by Mr. Lei's Qi and drifted backwards, creating a series of ripples of Qi.

Lei Lao stomped hard, stamped on a large circle of cracks, and forcibly stopped his retreat. Then he shot out, instantly catching up with Pei Xiaolou who was retreating, and swept his arms across.

Although Pei Xiaolou blocked the sweep, he was still knocked sideways to the ground by the huge force contained in Lei Lao's arm. Lei Lao took advantage of the situation to pursue him and stepped on Pei Xiaolou's chest again. At the last moment, Pei Xiaolou slapped his palm downwards, using the force of the counter-shock to suppress the defeat. At the same time, he used the force to stand up, rolled his body sideways to avoid Lei Lao's palm, and retreated back more than ten feet away again. .

Lei Lao's knees bent slightly, and his figure flew out like an arrow from the string. He hooked his five fingers and grabbed it head on.

Pei Xiaolou made a secret in his hand, and the bamboo stick that left his hand came in an instant, knocking Mr. Lei sideways and collapsing a section of the courtyard wall.

Although the two did not completely let go, the aftermath of the fight still almost razed the small courtyard to the ground. The ashes of the account books were flying all over the sky, and it was impossible to see what was written on them.

Mr. Lei stood up, patted the ashes on his body, and said with a smile: "Zhenren Pei, you did not handle the case well this time, which caused the criminal to commit suicide, the accounts were destroyed, and a large amount of stolen money is unaccounted for. I don't know how to explain it to the Earth Master?"

Pei Xiaolou's expression changed, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

In the tunnel, Yuan Chongzong was walking in the middle, one person was leading the way in front, and the other was in charge of the rear.

After all, no one has walked through this tunnel since it was dug. The road is rugged and even Yuan Chongzong is not familiar with it.

Yuan Chongzong's face was gloomy.

From the moment Pei Xiaolou appeared, he knew that the Yuan family was doomed and his many years of hard work were ruined. Because Pei Xiaolou does not represent him personally, but the attitude of Quanzhen Taoism. Together with Zhang Yuelu, who represents the attitude of Jinque, it means that the upper echelons of the Taoist sect have reached an agreement on the surface. Even if the Yuan family can escape this time, they will not be able to escape. next time.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this day. Over the years, he had gradually begun to transfer his family property, and also purchased some properties in Nanyang, and he still had the capital to make a comeback.

Yuan Chongzong said: "You two, over there with the dog..."

The person who opened the way in front replied: "Mr. Yuan, please rest assured, we have made arrangements. Mr. Yuan will be able to see Mr. Yuan soon."

Yuan Chongzong felt a little relieved, and his thoughts turned to Nanyang, which he had not been to for many years.

At this moment, Yuan Chongzong suddenly felt a pain in the back of his heart. He slowly lowered his head and saw the tip of a knife protruding from his chest, with blood dripping down.

The voice of the person in charge of the rear of the palace came: "Mr. Yuan, you can go to Huangquan Road to meet Mr. Yuan and Mr. Yuan soon. Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren live together. This is probably a beautiful thing."

Yuan Chongzong's eyes widened. After all, he was a master in the stage of returning to his true form. He was not dead yet and still had the energy to struggle.

At this moment, the person responsible for clearing the way in front also turned around, and like a ghostly shadow, he ran into Yuan Chongzong's arms, and another knife passed through his heart.

Yuan Chongzong's true energy began to drain away rapidly.

Before he died, Yuan Chongzong finally knew why Mr. Lei said "you don't understand."

He really didn't understand that the "foolproof" mentioned by the two elders Fengling and Lei was indeed sending him away, but not to the sea to Nanyang, but to the Nine Netherworld.

Lei Lao's two closest subordinates were already at the stage of returning to their true nature. With two against one and a sneak attack, it was easy to succeed.

However, in order to ensure that everything was safe, the two of them made a few more cuts in succession.

In the dead silence of the tunnel, only the sound of the blade piercing the body could be heard.

Finally, with a dull sound, Yuan Chongzong's body fell heavily to the ground.

One of them took out strong fire oil, poured it on the body, and then lit it directly.

Almost at the same time, blazing fires broke out all over Yuan Garden.

The governor of Huzhou and the chief military officer of the town were both well-educated, so the flames could not hurt them. They quickly left the scene of the fire, but neither of them looked good-looking.

No one expected that the situation would change so quickly and deteriorate to such an extent.

The two walked out of the gate of Yuan Garden, turned around and looked around. A wave of heat hit their faces. Fires were already burning from the eaves of the roof, lighting up most of the night.

Because the two feudal officials were at the scene, the response from various yamen in the city was extremely rapid, from the governor's yamen, to the prosecutor's office, to the magistrate's yamen, the county yamen, as well as the Qingluan Guard Qianhu Office, the Men in Black The barracks were dispatched one after another and came quickly.

But this time the fire was intentional, not accidental. There were not only fire oil prepared in advance, but also various talismans to fuel the fire, which spread very quickly. Even if the government responded quickly, they could not put it out. They could only choose to demolish the houses to form an isolation zone to prevent it from spreading outwards, and then wait for the Yuan Yuan fire to extinguish on its own.

In the sea of ​​fire, Mr. Lei and Pei Xiaolou were still facing off.

Mr. Lei made a gesture of breaking his wrist and said with a smile: "Do you think we will continue to be like last time?"
