Seeing that the fire cloud was about to burn the black-clothed leader and Ma Liubao, suddenly a wooden board flew up, just in front of these two guys, and the fire and oil sprinkled on the wooden board, directly destroying the wooden board.
It turned into a fire board, and in the blink of an eye, the black-clothed leader calmly retreated with Ma Liubao on his back.
Seeing his enemy fleeing, Wan Lei was unwilling to give in. He picked up the remaining half barrel of oil and was about to chase him when a man suddenly stood in front of him and shouted: "Infinite Heavenly Lord, little layman, please be merciful."
Forgive me."
The person who came was an old Taoist, unkempt, wearing a dirty Taoist robe. He looked slovenly. He looked like a fool. He didn’t know whether he was passing by or came here on a special trip. All in all, this old guy was just halfway there.
Cheng Yaojin, who was killed, succeeded more than he failed.
"Smelly old man, please don't talk nonsense. It's clear that they took hostages and threatened others to kill me. I have to fight to the death. If your eyes can't work, don't do anything randomly. Now, let's do it.
Those people escaped and may come back for a sneak attack in the future. Sooner or later, I will lose my life." Wan Lei was so angry that he turned around and returned to the inn.
"Wan Lei has committed a heinous crime by putting hundreds of families in danger. Come on, take him down and hold him accountable." Li Dazui shouted, and the officers and soldiers immediately swarmed forward and surrounded Wan Lei.
"Smelly old man, you can see now, it's not that I want to kill someone, it's that others don't want me to live. I will be hacked to death soon, please be happy." Wan Lei sat down on the ground, and he was dead anyway.
I was too lazy to resist.
In fact, Wan Lei also knew that the army would not kill him for the time being, and that he would be used to exchange for their hundreds of adults. But he also knew that once he fell into the hands of the Yan thieves, he would definitely be cut into pieces.
, so while sitting down, he picked up the remaining half bucket of oil and poured it on his body, and took out the fire lamp from his pocket, preparing to burn himself there.
"God has the virtue of a happy life. Don't commit any sins of killing again." The old Taoist jumped to Wan Lei's side and cupped his hands.
"You old man, get out of here. If there is anything wrong with us, one hundred households, we will kill you too." Li Dazui just said that. He saw that Wan Lei's whole body was covered with oil, and the scene of burning a living person just now was repeated.
It appeared in my mind, so I didn’t dare to step forward to take it.
At this time, the villagers of Zhaozhuang near the post station had already heard the noise. The people, led by Zhao Quanzhong, who ran out to call, rushed towards the direction of the post station. When they saw the officers and soldiers surrounding Wan Lei and an old Taoist, they didn't understand.
So, I had to watch from a distance.
Wan Lei was in a stalemate with the officers and soldiers for a few seconds, when he suddenly heard a cheerful cry from inside the station: "Master, when did you come?" Before he finished speaking, another person jumped to Wan Lei's side,
She is the daughter of the Zhao family. It turns out that this tomboy has secretly studied under a teacher. No wonder he is unwilling to have his feet bound even if he is beaten to death.
"Xue'er, this place is a place of right and wrong, why are you here too?" the old Taoist frowned.
"Master didn't know something. My father forced my apprentice to bind his feet, but he refused, so he ran away." The daughter of the Zhao family said, and when she glanced at her father, she saw her father standing not far away with a hoe. She subconsciously
He lowered his voice and said, "Brother Wan was kind enough to invite you to a meal just now, but as soon as the meal was finished, someone came in and wanted to kill Brother Wan. I remember my master's teachings and drew my sword to help when there was injustice. But those men in black were lucky.
, my disciple was defeated and was kicked, and it still hurts now."
"Where did those people come from?" asked the old Taoist.
"It seems that some of the remnants of the Yan thieves are planning to capture Brother Wan and cut him into pieces to pay tribute to King Yan. Oh, by the way, Brother Wan, do you have a deep grudge against King Yan?"
"I killed the King of Yan. I killed this thief in order to help the country and save the people from the fire and water. But the emperor is stupid and immoral. He refuses to reward his merits but punishes him for his merits. He sent me to this place as a bait to attract the remnants of the rebels. Now. Now
You also want to use me to trade with the rebels. I have a hard time standing up for my reasons. I am setting myself on fire here. I wish to turn into a ghost after death and subvert the Ming Dynasty, and the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth will prove it!" As soon as Wan Lei finished speaking, he opened the fire lamp in his hand.
As soon as my heart wandered and my eyes closed, I threw it on my body.
"Little layman, you must not commit suicide!" The old Taoist had quick eyes and quick hands, and he kicked Huo Lianzi away with a flying kick.
However, it was too late at this time. The oil on Wan Lei's body ignited when it encountered fire, and his whole body was instantly surrounded by fire. But Wan Lei was sitting there like a living Buddha, neither struggling nor shouting, as if the fire
It wasn't that he was burned on his body, but the officers and soldiers who were watching, as well as the people, were all dumbfounded. The old man immediately came to rescue him, but no matter how hard he patted him, he couldn't extinguish the fire on his body.
After about five seconds, the flaming man moved. He suddenly jumped forward and lay prone on the ground. After a few seconds, he suddenly turned over and lay on his back. What was even more incredible to everyone was that he
The fire in front of him was actually extinguished, and he acted as if nothing was wrong. Apart from his clothes and hair being burned, there were no burns on his body at all.
After a few seconds, Wan Lei suddenly jumped up and continued to sit on the ground. More than a dozen holes were burned out of his clothes, revealing dark red skin, like an iron man. The old Taoist was worried about his life
If he was in danger, he reached out and touched him and found that his body temperature was as normal as if he had never been burned by fire.
"Hey, this is really strange. It was clearly a raging fire just now, how could he be fine at all?" The onlookers were even more dumbfounded. People who can't be burned by fire are beyond the scope of their understanding.
And at this moment, a strange voice came from Wan Lei's mouth: "Heaven and earth are ruthless, and there is a way in the three realms. Wan Lei, the prince of Ksitigarbha, commits an offense for no reason, and heaven and earth will attack the ghosts and gods together to punish him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Lei staggered and fell to the ground.
Silence, there was dead silence all around. The officers, soldiers and civilians who were watching were staring at Wan Lei who was lying motionless on the ground. They did not dare to make a sound, and no one dared to step forward to touch him. Son of Ksitigarbha, who dares?
Touching randomly?
However, the veteran was brave. He stretched out his hand to sniff and found that there was still breath. He pinched the person again, and Wan Lei woke up faintly. He looked around, shook his head again, frowned and asked: "
Didn’t I get burned to death?”
"The little layman has great blessings. He saved himself just now and escaped from death. Doesn't the little layman not remember it?" the old Taoist asked.
"Self-rescue?" Wan Lei frowned again and said: "No, I was so desperate just now that I held my breath and fell into coma. After a while, I was woken up again. I thought someone was blocking me.
He deliberately wanted to prevent me from dying easily."
"Brother Wan is blessed with great fortune and will not die so easily." Seeing that Wan Lei had returned to a normal person, the daughter of the Zhao family took courage and said.
"Why is my life so miserable? I can't even seek death. If I don't succeed this time, I have to die again. No one is allowed to stop me. If anyone dares to stop me, I won't forgive him even if I'm a ghost." Wan Lei
He got up from the ground and rushed towards the inn, but was stopped by officers and soldiers, not to arrest him, but to stop him from committing suicide.
"Young man, I have offended you because I don't know the truth. You don't remember the faults of villains. Please forgive me. I won't dare to catch you again in the future." Li Dazui said in a trembling voice.
I almost knelt down and begged for mercy.
"I'm going to kill you, what the hell are you doing? Don't you want to trade me for a hundred of your families? Now I'm going to tie them up. However, even if I bite my tongue and kill myself by holding my breath, I won't live and let you be brought into the hands of thieves.
"
"Uncle Wan, calm down, little one, you guys deserve to die. You, please do well and don't hurt yourself again." Li Da's mouth softened and he knelt down to beg.
"If you don't die today, you will be assassinated by thieves tomorrow. No matter what, you will die. I am willing to do it myself and die early and be reborn."
"No, please don't commit suicide. You guys are willing to stay here and not let the thieves hurt you at all."
"For no reason, why are you so kind?" Wan Lei asked in confusion.
"Old man, you have a noble status and it is our blessing to be able to protect you." Li Dazui said hurriedly.
"What does it mean to have a noble status? I am just a low-ranking postmaster. Any official who comes to me will be higher than me, and my status is like a bird's egg." Wan Lei was angry, this time he was really angry.
"You are the son of Ksitigarbha, how can you be compared to those petty officials?" A soldier said with a flattering smile.
"What kind of son of Ksitigarbha? Your turtle son is the son of Ksitigarbha." Wan Lei was furious again, but he smiled in his heart: Ignorant people are easy to deceive.
In fact, this self-immolation show was directed and acted by Wan Lei. Just before he brought out a few barrels of oil to scare people, he had already added a layer of material to his body. It was the existence of this layer of material that made him feel at ease.
He boldly plays bachelor in front of others, and blatantly states that he wants to be burned to death with others. Of course, others are stones, so they will naturally be burned, but he is jade with added materials, and cannot easily be burned to death.
And this layer of material is not a particularly rare thing. Just apply a layer of oil first, roll it on the ground a few times, and you will have a firewall on your body. Of course, this layer of firewall cannot protect you for a long time, but there are more than ten
Seconds are enough to fool these common people.
Of course, since cheating has already started, it is better to play it big, pretending to be a ghost and pretending to be a monster while not admitting it. This is to increase the mystery and make the common people confused and be cheated without any discussion.
"Uncle Wan, don't blame me for talking nonsense." The soldier hurriedly whispered, but he thought it was because Wan Lei didn't want to reveal his identity, and he didn't dare to suspect him.
"If you have nothing to do, go back to sleep. What are you doing here? Do you still want to watch me commit suicide?" Wan Lei shouted angrily, and the surrounding villagers were shocked and immediately dispersed.
