Chapter 55: The night is dark and the wind is high, murder and arson
…
As night fell, Xiling Villa returned to calm.
A black shadow was as fast as lightning, and quickly jumped into a house with the help of the shadow of the building.
Thirty or so ferocious looks came over him instantly.
After the visitor made a mudra, it dimmed instantly.
He strode forward and pushed open the door of the hall. A figure with a numb expression walked over, it was Chen Laogou.
Xu Rui, who was dressed in black night clothes, glanced at him and walked through the main room to the back garden.
Turning the stones on the top of the rockery, the tunnel leading to the outside of the city was revealed. Jumping down, Old Dog Chen and all the big dogs followed.
Coming out of the tunnel is the mountain behind Xiling Villa.
After observing for a while and seeing no one around, Xu Rui jumped out. He was not in a hurry to enter the city. Now after walking around in the woods, he found three more night owls.
Make a seal with your hands, and the owl rises into the sky.
Visual transformation, with a radius of more than ten kilometers before your eyes.
Not even the slightest movement on the ground could hide from his eyes.
"It's a pity that at this stage, I can't control the puppet more than one kilometer, otherwise I can see further."
Even so, it's enough.
The journey was uneventful and we approached the gate of Star City.
At this time, the city gate has already been closed.
Taking a slight breath, he took one step, two steps, and after three steps, his speed had completely increased.
The thick thighs exploded with all their strength, and the entire ground sank three inches in an instant.
The strong body was like a cannonball, rising from the ground in an instant.
After jumping more than ten feet high, he used his left foot on the city wall to lift his body into the air again. He grabbed the edge of the city wall with both hands, did a backflip, and landed safely on the city wall.
Listening carefully, he soon found the guard's cell.
It has been peaceful for many years, and since it is a provincial capital, the guards are not very tight.
After approaching quietly, he took out a stick of incense from his arms, lit it, and inserted it through the window.
After a while, the sound of falling to the ground was heard one after another.
Soon there was no movement.
“Chen Laogou’s ‘Tianxiang Cartilage Powder’ is really useful.”
After taking care of all the soldiers guarding the gate, go to the city gate.
Measuring three meters long, thirty centimeters wide and forty centimeters thick, the iron-clad door bar is extremely heavy. For an ordinary person, four or five people would have to work together to lift it down.
Of course, Xu Rui doesn't have to.
He opened his arms and gave a strong push.
This door bar, which weighed more than three hundred kilograms, was moved down easily.
The city gate opened a crack, and the dogs waiting outside and Chen Laogou all walked in.
Close the city gate and put the door bars back in place.
Not surprisingly, this thing doesn't need to be moved anymore.
It was already late at night, and although electricity was no longer a rarity, it was not yet luxurious enough to provide lighting at night. The entire street was still dominated by lanterns.
It's dim, dark, and swaying in the wind, making it a little more scary in the dark night.
With the help of the owl, he arrived at the door of a large house without any hindrance.
Look up.
The golden plaque with the word "Xie Mansion" still retains a trace of brilliance under the light of a row of lanterns on both sides.
He smiled coldly.
As the famous families in Xiling, the Bai and Xie families are not difficult to find.
Make a hand gesture.
The line of sight changes, and through the eyes of the owl, everything in Xie's mansion is right before his eyes.
Looking at the groups of servants patrolling with rifles on their backs, it can be seen that the guards are very tight.
"Xie Dahai is really cautious enough."
Xu Rui looked around and saw that Xie's house was very large, covering an area of five or six acres. The pavilions and pavilions inside were extremely gorgeous.
Of course there are many rooms.
When he came here for the first time, he didn't know which room Xie Dahai lived in.
Searching from room to room is undoubtedly a bad idea.
After a brief glance, I turned to the left courtyard.
This is the Xie family's livestock house. There are mules and horses tied up in the corner next to it, and feeding fodder is piled against the wall.
Xu Rui flew down and landed on the soles of his feet, making no sound like a civet cat.
Step forward quietly and untie all the animal ropes.
He rummaged through his pocket, took out the matches he had prepared, and lit a fire on the hay pile.
The hay will be ready at once.
Soon there was a huge fire.
Animals are afraid of flames, so when the fire started, the mules and horses rushed out neighing.
For a time, the entire Xie Mansion was alarmed.
In the study, Xie Dahai was holding a navy blue animal skin and looking at it.
The hide was three feet long and one foot wide, with smooth corners, like a neatly cut piece of paper.
It is full of ancient and difficult-to-understand seal characters, which are so mysterious and profound that they are indescribable.
He stole this animal skin from a large Jingchu tomb deep in the Big Bear Mountain half a year ago. He himself did not know the ancient seal script, so he asked someone who was good at it to help him check it. Unfortunately, they could not fully understand it.
A rough idea.
This leads to the conclusion of the remaining secrets of this Qi refining method.
When practicing Kung Fu, even a single mistake can lead to death, let alone a rudimentary technique that is difficult to understand.
Therefore, since he got it, he has put it away and only kept it in his collection.
"Although I'm reluctant to part with it, it would be a blessing if I could use it as bait to avenge my son except Xu Rui."
Suddenly there was a noise.
Xie Dahai frowned and was about to put the animal skin into a box, then after thinking about it, he put it in his arms.
Open the door and stride out.
With more than a dozen gunmen protecting him, he didn't worry about his own safety.
"What's the fuss about?"
"Reporting to the Hall Master, there was a fire in the stable, which frightened those beasts. That's why they made a fuss and frightened you."
A strong man with two box cannons stuck in his waist quickly stepped forward to report.
"Fire in the stable?"
Xie Dahai instinctively felt something was wrong.
"Send someone to investigate immediately. Also, let Xie Wu have some snacks. If he dares to neglect his duties, be careful of his tricks."
"yes."
"Go ahead."
The strong man took the order and left.
Looking at the flames burning in the west courtyard, Xie Dahai frowned.
The suppressed emotion became stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, the sound of flapping wings sounded.
A night owl flew in front of them.
The attention of Xie Dahai and the gunmen around him were all attracted.
Xie Dahai, who breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly heard the sound of clothes flying in his ears. His heart moved, and he subconsciously looked up, feeling that he was instantly filled with souls.
A burly man in black pounced down from the eaves like a vicious tiger.
As fast as lightning, Ji opened his big hand like a tiger's claws and slapped him on the head.
Not caring about the embarrassment, he quickly made a rolling gourd.
It's a pity that he is faster and people come faster.
As soon as he stood up, Tiger Palm was already in front of him.
Xie Dahai subconsciously waved his palms to resist.
boom.
A pair of two palms.
Xie Dahai felt an overwhelming force coming from him.
Accompanied by screams.
Snow-white bones broke through the skin and flesh and rushed out from behind the shoulders.
A simple lunge and a palm strike hit Xie Dahai firmly on the chest.
The screams stopped instantly, his cheeks became pupils, his eyes were wide open, and there were bright red blood stains in his nose and corners of his mouth.
The heart is broken and the dead cannot die again.
