night.

A big drama is about to begin.

Hua Ruling and Song Wenchao looked at Lu Xiaofeng with a smile, and handed over a black robe, a mask, iron shoes, and an invulnerable piece of silkworm silk armor.

It is said to be armor, but it is actually a large strip with a hole in the middle. Put your head through the hole, then fold the strip in half, and then tie the straps.

The advantage of this is that no matter how tall or thin the person wearing the armor is, they can wear it.

Lu Xiaofeng can wear it.

The Great Joyful Female Bodhisattva can also wear it.

If it was tailor-made, it would be like Shangguan Yundun's gold silk armor. Shen Lian couldn't wear it, so he had to ask Zuo Shi to modify it, and eventually it became a gold silk bellyband.

Song Wencao smiled and helped Lu Xiaofeng put on the armor. Lu Xiaofeng seemed to have thought of something. When he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he discovered that the knot Song Wencao tied was a sailor's knot.

Thinking of Shen Lian and Feng Siniang's analysis, Lu Xiaofeng was slightly shocked and asked tentatively: "I can just wear iron shoes. Isn't the mask a bit redundant?"

Song Wenchao said: "Wear it, of course you have to do a full set of performances. Maybe Hua Manlou will touch your face?"

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Most people only knew that Hua Manlou's eyes were blinded by the Iron Shoe Thief. Only three people knew that Hua Manlou had seen the Iron Shoe Thief's true face, which was revealed by the Iron Shoe Thief before he took action.

Which three people?

Hua Man Lou, Lu Xiaofeng, The Iron Shoe Thief.

Maybe Huamanlou will touch your face...

This sentence is really interesting.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the smiling Song Wenchao and thought to herself that the suspicion of this guy has reached the sky.

However, this matter should not be made too public.

Hua Ruling designed this drama with the purpose of curing Hua Manlou's heart disease. Therefore, whether it is real iron shoes or fake iron shoes, Hua Manlou must do it.

Everyone, including Shen Lian, who is responsible for the job, is just a support, while Hua Manlou is the main force.

Only by allowing Hua Manlou to completely defeat the iron-shoe thief can the shadow in his heart be eliminated. For this kind of spiritual problem, the most taboo thing is to take someone else's place.

So Shen Lian didn't catch the thief.

So Shen Yumen chose to be a spectator.

So Lu Xiaofeng quietly observed Song Wenchao.

So Hua Manlou was in the room, gently wiping the sword, and her heart was flowing like a tide.

What should he do?

Does he really want to kill the Iron Shoe Thief?

Has the Iron Shoe Thief really arrived?

What exactly is Shen Lian here to do?

Why is Shen Yumen acting so strange?

Just as he was thinking, a crisp sound suddenly came from the roof, which was the sound of iron shoes hitting the tiles.

This voice is a little different from what I remember, but the person who came here must be wearing iron shoes. Even if he is not the iron shoe thief of the past, he is still someone related to it.

The flowers were all over the floor without even thinking about it, so they rose up out of the sky.

Although he was blind, he could distinguish his position by listening to the wind very fast, which made Lu Xiaofeng secretly complain in her heart.

If he is not wearing iron shoes on his feet, his Qinggong is slightly better than Hua Manlou. But if he wears iron shoes, the soles of his feet will feel very awkward and his Qinggong will inevitably slow down.

When martial arts has reached Lu Xiaofeng's level, weight is not a big deal, the key is touch.

There is definitely a difference between having a piece of iron under your feet and having a thousand-layer sole under your feet. Lu Xiaofeng would rather go barefoot than wear heavy iron shoes.

No matter what he was thinking, Hua Manlou was already coming to kill him with a sword, and Lu Xiaofeng could only dodge with all his strength.

According to the plan, Lu Xiaofeng would pass through the rooms of Monk Ku Zhi, Taoist Shi Que and others, fight with these people respectively, and then be captured by Hua Man Lou.

The plan was indeed good, but just as he passed Shen Yumen's room, raging fire burst into the sky.

Shen Yumen raised his palm to form a sword, and slashed at Lu Xiaofeng's chest and abdomen with the flaming sword energy. Lu Xiaofeng turned over to dodge, and wanted to fight back with his iron shoes. Halfway through the kick, he realized that the iron shoes might be able to block the sword energy, but they could not block the scorching heat!

With Shen Yumen's skill, he could burn the iron shoes red and turn his feet into roasted pig's trotters.

Lu Xiaofeng's martial arts is not a complete routine system of a famous sect, but a mess of martial arts, which he learned from the east and the west while hanging around in the market.

He has never taken the initiative to practice these messy moves, and has even forgotten them, because all the essence of martial arts is within one finger of Lingxi.

When he encounters danger, he will use the most appropriate move at the most appropriate time.

God makes it clear, and it is completely natural.

The flaming sword energy struck, and in order to prevent his right foot from turning into roasted pig's trotters, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly leaned over and fell backwards on an iron bridge, her body twisted and twisted.

This is the unique skill "Forty-One Upward and Fifty-Seven Volts" inherited from "Xiasanchaanhejia" among the Xiawumen.

The name sounds extremely weird, but the actual effect is quite impressive. With just a slight lift, not only can you avoid the crisis just right, but you can also take advantage of the situation to fight back.

The most important thing is that this is a five-level stunt, which is very suitable for the identity of the Iron Shoe Thief. Even if the plan goes wrong, Lu Xiaofeng is still acting seriously.

Shen Yumen flew with his hands, and the flaming sword energy was continuously slashed out, firmly restraining Lu Xiaofeng.

It wasn't until Hua Man Lou flew by that Shen Yumen stopped making moves and left time and space to Hua Man Lou. However, he did not watch the show, but flew up to the roof.

On the roof, there are several thieves with iron shoes.

Ku Zhi and others were suddenly startled. They looked closely by the firelight and found that the wall was densely packed with twenty or thirty thieves wearing black robes and masks.

These people obviously belonged to each other. After being forced to show up by Shen Yumen, they immediately started killing each other.

In an instant, sword shadows were flying and iron shoes were being smashed. He was determined to catch the thief, but he didn't know who the thief was.

In such a scene, no matter whether it is a real iron-shoe thief or a fake iron-shoe thief, they are all confused.

There are so many iron-shoe thieves, which one is the real one? What is the purpose of coming here?

Just when everyone was in shock, they saw one of the iron-shoe thieves swinging his sword across the area. His sword energy was uncanny, and he used the Hengshan School's Thirteen Changes of Cloud and Mist Style.

This set of swordsmanship was very fancy, and originally there was no sharp sword energy. However, the fierce and chaotic fighting at this time, coupled with the flames blasted by Shen Yumen, transformed into the unique beauty of mirror flowers and water moon, and the three or four people in front of him were shocked.

"laugh!"

The sword flew away through the air, and thousands of changes impacted the minds of the three people, causing them to fall into a moment of sluggishness.

The iron-shoe thief who threw the sword quickly grabbed the joints of the three people's hands and feet with both hands. There was only a "click, click, click, click, click" sound, and the three iron-shoe robbers whose hands and feet were broken by the force of the claws fell to the ground.

Monk Kuzhi exclaimed in surprise: "Dragon Claw Hand!"

Taoist Master Shi Que followed up and said: "This person is not good at swordsmanship. He is good at boxing and kicking."

"What to do? Which one to catch?"

"Capture them all before we talk!"

Before he finished speaking, many masters swarmed forward. After a crackling chaotic battle, only five or six people managed to escape from here, and the rest were all captured.

Huamanlou was a little disappointed. He didn't need to touch these people's faces to know that there were no iron-shoe thieves here.

He has already heard that these captured people are very young, they may be the disciples of the Iron Shoe Thief who have been living in seclusion for more than ten years and have been trained hard.

Hua Ruling removed the masks of these people and found that they were not Han people, and most of them had the characteristics of the Western Regions.

Especially the three people whose bones were crushed, all have yellow hair and blue eyes, their skin is more delicate, and they are arrogant. They are obviously more important than other disciples.

Eagle-eyed Old Seven asked: "Leader Shen, where is Capt. Shen? Why don't you see Capt. Shen?"

Shen Yumen said: "Just wait and see. He is standing guard outside Hua Mansion, waiting to catch those who escape."

Monk Kuzhi sighed: "We have captured so many iron-shoe thieves, but they are all fake. This big drama we put on has completely failed this time!"

Shen Yumen said: "Master, what you said is wrong. Although these people are not the Iron Shoes Thief, they are obviously his disciples. This means at least three things."

"What three things?"

"First of all, the Iron Shoe Thieves are still alive. Only one of them died that year, not all of them.

Secondly, the Iron Shoe Bandit's martial arts are not very high. If his martial arts were high enough, it would not have been possible to spend more than ten years training just these losers.

Finally, the iron-shoe thief covets the treasure, and even though he knows there are so many masters in Hua Mansion, he still chooses to take the risk, so he will definitely not leave."

Shen Yumen is not good at analyzing cases, but before that, Shen Lian noticed something strange and told Shen Yumen all his guesses, asking him to tell the story based on the situation.

Although Shen Yumen could not solve the case, his mind was very fast and he succeeded in convincing most people.

Hawkeye Laoqi said dissatisfiedly: "I have tried so hard and still failed. Even if Iron Shoes has the courage of a leopard, I am afraid that it will turn into the courage of a mouse. I would have run away with my tail between my legs!"

Shen Yumen said: "My uncle once said that there is something called a 'sunk cost', which is when you pay a large amount of principal in advance to complete a certain thing.

The more you give, the harder it is to give up.

For example, Eagle Eye Seven, you made an appointment with a certain master craftsman to cast a sword. When you arrived, you found that the sword had not been cast yet, would you wait any longer?"

Eagle Eye Seven said: "I'll leave immediately."
