Four hundred and ninetieth chapters replace fifty-four
After a while, they heard the sound of footsteps and everyone returned to the hall. Fang Yu took a long breath and felt a little relieved.
Xu Tianchuan whispered: "There are about thirty mourning halls in the seven or eight rooms. Each mourning hall has five or six memorial tablets. It seems that each mourning hall is dedicated to a deceased family member."
Liu Yizhou said: "Hey, aren't there hundreds of evil spirits in this house?"
Xu Tianchuan shook his head. He was well-informed, but he had never heard of such strange things. After a while, he slowly said: "The strangest thing is that there are candles lit in front of the mourning hall."
Fang Yu, Fang Yi, and Mu Jianping screamed at the same time.
A man said: "When we went in earlier, the candles were clearly not lit."
The old man said: "You remember correctly?"
The four men looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads.
The old man said: "It's not a ghost, we met an expert. In an instant, more than thirty candles in the mourning hall were lit. This skill is really agile. Mr. Xu, don't you think so?"
"The last words were said to Xu Tianchuan.
Xu Tianchuan pretended to be demented and said: "We may have bumped into the owner of the house, no... we might as well go to the mourning hall and kowtow... a few times."
Amidst the sound of rain, several women's cries suddenly came from the east house. The sound was very sad. Although the heavy rain gradually fell, these cries could be heard clearly.
Fang Yu was so frightened that he opened his mouth and his face changed drastically. Everyone looked at each other in horror. After a while, the sound of a woman sobbing came from the west room again.
Liu Yizhou, Ao Biao and the two men shouted in unison: "Ghosts cry!"
The old man snorted and suddenly said loudly: "We passed by your place and took shelter here from the rain. We broke into the treasure house without permission. I would like to thank you very much. Will you be kind enough to see me?"
These words were full of energy and he was sent far away. After a long time, there was no movement at all.
The old man shook his head and said loudly: "Since the master here doesn't want to receive lay guests, we can't harass him without permission. So we will take shelter in the hall and wait for the rain to stop at dawn, and everyone will go out."
After speaking, he made gestures and ordered everyone not to speak and to listen carefully. After a long time, no more crying was heard.
A man whispered: "Mr. Zhang, it doesn't matter if he is a human or a ghost. As soon as dawn comes, set fire to this haunted house and burn it to a bloody white ground."
The old man waved his hands and said: "We haven't done anything important yet, so we can't create new problems. Sit down and have a rest!"
When everyone's clothes were wet, they lit a fire in the hall. Someone took out a wine gourd, uncorked it, and gave it to the old man to drink.
The old man took a few sips of wine, glanced sideways at Xu Tianchuan for a long time, and said, "Mr. Xu, you guys are a family, why do you have different accents? You are from the capital, but these guys are from Yunnan?"
Xu Tianchuan smiled and said: "The old man has a good ear, and he is indeed an old man. My eldest sister is married in Yunnan. This is my brother-in-law."
He pointed to Wu Lishen, and then said: "My brother-in-law and nephew are all from Yunnan. My second sister is married in Shanxi. People from all over the world rarely see each other in more than ten years. This time we went to Shanxi to visit me.
Second sister goes."
He said that Wu Lishen was his brother-in-law, which was a polite word. It was the custom in the north at that time to call someone brother-in-law, and call him brother-in-law to be a curse.
The old man nodded, took a sip of wine, squinted his eyes and said, "How many of you are from the capital?"
Xu Tianchuan said: "Exactly."
The old man said: "Can you see a little eunuch of fourteen or fifteen years old on the road?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Tianchuan and others felt a chill in their hearts. Fortunately, the old man only looked at him, while Xu Tianchuan's face showed no expression. Ao Biao and Mu Jianping's faces changed color, but no one else noticed.
Xu Tianchuan said: "You mean eunuchs? There are so many eunuchs in the capital, both old and young. I always bump into a few when I go out."
The old man said: "I asked you if you have seen it on the road, not in the capital."
Xu Tianchuan smiled and said: "Old man, what you are saying is not right. According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, as soon as a eunuch leaves the capital, he will commit a capital crime. Eunuchs are not as majestic as the Ming Dynasty. Which eunuch dares to step out of the capital now?
"
The old man said "Oh" and said, "Maybe he modified it."
Xu Tianchuan shook his head repeatedly and said: "I don't have the guts, I don't have the guts!" After a pause, he asked: "Old man, what kind of little eunuch are you looking for? When I return to the capital from Shanxi to visit relatives, help
You ask around."
The old man said: "Humph, thank you very much. I wonder if I have such a long life." He closed his eyes and remained silent.
Xu Tianchuan thought to himself: "When he inquires about a young eunuch who is fourteen or fifteen years old, isn't he aiming at Lord Wei Xiang? These people are neither from the Tiandihui nor from Prince Mu's Mansion. In all likelihood, they have no good intentions.
We need to find out. If he doesn't mess with him, we will mess with him."
Xu Tianchuan said: "Old man, among the young eunuchs in the capital, there is only one who is very famous. His famous name has spread all over the world. I think you have heard of it. That is the one who killed the traitor Obai and made great achievements.
Bit."
The old man opened his eyes and said, "Well, are you talking about Mr. Xiao Guizi?"
Xu Tianchuan said: "Who else could it be if he wasn't him? This man is courageous and brave, and has great martial arts skills. He is truly amazing!"
The old man asked: "What does this man look like? Have you seen him?"
Xu Tianchuan said: "Ha, this Eunuch Gui stays in the capital every day. People in the capital have never seen him, I'm afraid there are only a few of him. This Eunuch Gui is dark and fat, a little fat man, at least eighteen or nineteen years old."
Well, I don’t believe anything I say, he is only fifteen years old.”
Fang Yi held Fang Yu's hand tightly, and Mu Jianping's elbow bumped lightly against his vest, which was secretly funny. Fang Yu had always been afraid of ghosts, but when the old man asked about him, he made a plan in his mind
, the thought of being afraid of ghosts was forgotten.
The old man said: "Really? What I heard from others is different. I heard that Eunuch Gui is just a child of thirteen or fourteen years old. He is cunning and clever. I'm afraid he looks a lot like your nephew.
Haha!" He said and looked at Fang Yu.
Liu Yizhou suddenly said: "I heard that Xiao Guizi was despicable and shameless. He was the best at using sweat medicine. When he killed Ao Bai, he was stunned by the medicine first. Otherwise, this little thief was timid and afraid of ghosts. How could he kill Ao Bai?"
Xiang Fang Yu said with a smile: "Cousin, do you think so?"
Wu Lishen was furious, and struck him in the face with a backhand palm. Liu Yizhou lowered his head to avoid it, flicked his right foot, and stood up.
Wu Lishen's backhand palm was a "Jade Chicken Spreading Wings" move. Liu Yizhou dodged and used the "Golden Horse Neighing Wind" move. They were both "Mu Family Fist" moves. One struck quickly and the other avoided quickly.
, and unknowingly used their own boxing techniques.
The old man named Zhang stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, you all did a good job in changing your disguises!"
As soon as he stood, a dozen of his men jumped to their feet.
The old man shouted: "Take them all! Don't let anyone go."
Wu Lishen took out the short knife from his arms, shook his head to the left, and chopped down a man. When he shook his head to the right, another man fell to the ground with a knife in his throat.
The old man took out a pair of judge pens on his waist with both hands. The two pens rubbed against each other, making a sizzling sound. The two pens hit Wu Lishen's throat with the left hand, and Xu Tianchuan's chest with the right hand. They used one to attack two, with quick skills.
Xu Tianchuan rushed to the right and grabbed a big man in the eye with his left hand. The big man leaned back and evaded, and the single knife in his hand was taken away. He felt pain in his waist, and his own knife had cut into his stomach.
Over there, Ao Biao also started fighting. Liu Yizhou hesitated for a moment, took off his soft whip, and stepped forward to fight. Although there were more opponents, only the old man and Wu Lishen fought evenly. Everyone under Xu's martial arts was mediocre.
Fang Yu saw the advantage and thought: "As long as you don't touch that old turtle, I can deal with the rest."
Fang Yu held the dagger in his hand and wanted to charge forward.
Fang Yi grabbed him and said, "We've decided, we don't need your help."
Fang Yu thought to himself: "I know I'm defeated, so why don't I step forward? If I lose, why don't I run away quickly?"
Suddenly, a loud roar was heard, and the old man jumped aside. The two judge pens rubbed against each other. All his men crowded behind him and quickly formed a square formation.
These people only took a few short steps to take their respective positions. The dozen or so people neither pushed nor bumped into each other, which showed that they had practiced well and spent a lot of effort on this matter.
Xu Tianchuan and Wu Lishen were both startled and took a few steps back. Ao Biao stepped forward bravely, and suddenly four swords came out from the square formation, two slashed his shoulder, and the second slashed his foot. The coordination was very clever, and the two in the middle
The gun deflected him and cut him with a knife.
Ao Biao yelled "Ah" and was stabbed in the shoulder.
In an instant, the situation of victory and defeat suddenly reversed.
Xu Tianchuan stood in front of Fang Yu and the two women to protect each other, observing how the other party used the formation.
The old man raised the judge's pen with his right hand and shouted loudly: "Master Hong will never grow old for ten thousand years, he will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and his life span will be as long as the heavens!"
The ten or so men raised their swords together and shouted: "Master Hong's life span is as long as the sky, his life span is as long as the sky!" The sound shook the roof tiles, and they looked like they were crazy.
Xu Tianchuan was horrified, wondering what they were up to.
After hearing the words "Master Hong", Fang Yu suddenly remembered Tao Hongying's frightened look and words, and blurted out: "Shenlong Sect! They are from the Shenlong Sect!"
The old man's face changed color and he said: "You also know the name of the Dragon Sect!"
Raising his right hand high, he shouted again: "Master Hong has great supernatural powers. Our teaching is invincible in battles, invincible in attacks, invincible, and invincible. The enemy is invincible and flees."
Xu Tianchuan and others felt a chill in their hearts when they heard every sentence they read. However, they felt that these people's behavior was strange and strange. They had never seen them read loudly when facing the enemy.
Fang Yu shouted: "These people know how to recite spells, don't be fooled by them! Come forward and kill them."
But I heard the old man and everyone reciting faster and faster. It was no longer just the old man reciting one sentence and everyone following the same sentence, but more than ten people reciting in unison: "Master Hong is protected by his magical power, and all the disciples are a hundred times more courageous. One is worth a hundred."
, one hundred is equivalent to ten thousand, the divine eyes of Master Hong are like lightning, and candles shine in all directions.
My disciple killed the enemy to protect his teaching, and Master Hong personally promoted him to the priesthood. My disciple died protecting his teaching, and we both ascended to heaven!" Suddenly he shouted loudly and rushed out.
