Li Zhongdao: "Brothers, drink less and eat more tonight. We will return tomorrow morning and be extra careful on the way."
Xiang Qian said: "I want to see if this bandit can set fire."
On the morning of the third day, Li Zhong and others went to Rishengtong Bank, bought 500 taels of gold, and returned it to Jicheng together with Lin Xiaodong.
The car was pulling goods, leaving deep ruts, and the traveling speed was much slower.
Xiang Qian and others were all carefree when they arrived, but when they returned, they looked alert and said nothing.
Walking deep into the dense forest, Xiang Qian suddenly hissed.
The motorcade stopped and Lin Xiaodong said: "It's just a pheasant."
Xiang Qian turned around and glared: "Don't make a sound!"
Lin Xiaodong stretched out his hand, and the thorns flew away, causing chickens and dogs to fly. Sure enough, they were several pheasants.
Xiang Qian said angrily: "What are you doing?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I told you it was a pheasant."
Xiang Qian shouted: "What if it's a human?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "If it is a human being, I will know it three miles away."
Li Zhongdao: "Director Lin, you promised before coming here that you would listen to the arrangements of my escort agency."
Lin Xiaodong nodded and said no more words.
There was nothing to do during the day. At night, Li Zhong said to Lin Xiaodong: "Director Lin, if you don't want to sleep, stay vigil with us."
Xiang Qian pouted and hummed.
In the first half of the night, Shao Hongqing, Ding Jian, and Xu Ningdao were on duty, and in the second half of the night, Li Zhong and Xiang Qian were on duty.
Lin Xiaodong sat quietly with his eyes closed, as if falling asleep.
Li Zhong and Xiang Qian chatted wordlessly. After a while, they became sleepy, fell silent and dozed off.
Lin Xiaodong suddenly opened his eyes: "Here he comes."
Li Zhong was shocked: "Who?"
Xiang Qian looked around: "Where is there anyone?"
As soon as he finished speaking, firelight fell from the sky, and five people appeared. They were the same group of thieves who robbed Liu Gui earlier, still dressed in night clothes.
Li Zhong and Xiang Qian had never seen a thief falling from the sky. They were so frightened that they sat on the ground. It took them a long time to react and shouted into the car: "There is a thief!"
Shao Hongqing, Ding Jian, and Xu Ningdao woke up, picked up the guy, and crawled out.
Xiang Qian shouted: "Who?
Do you dare to rob an escort from Zhengxing Escort Bureau?"
The thief threw his head back and laughed: "So what about the Zhengxing Escort Agency?"
Xiang Qian held the sword in both hands and was eager to try it: "Get away quickly, otherwise the sword has no eyes!"
The thief said: "You are just doing things for others, just pretend and step aside to avoid losing your life!"
Li Zhong glanced at Xiang Qian: "Do it!"
Together with Shao Hongqing, Ding Jian and Xu Ningdao, they went to kill the thieves.
The leader of the thieves shouted: "Kill!"
Five thieves, together with Li Zhong and others, fought together.
The thief was no match for the bodyguards of the Zhicheng Escort Agency, so how could he kill Li Zhong and others?
Li Zhongdao: "It's too late for you to leave now. If the mask is taken off later and the true face is revealed, there will be nowhere to hide on the ground in Luhun County!"
The thief said to the leader: "Brother, cast the spell quickly!"
The leader of the thieves took off the umbrella from his back and said, "Get away quickly, lest your face be disfigured, your appearance disfigured, or even your life!"
Li Zhong and others knew that the leader of the thieves had tricks, so they retreated back, hesitating.
The leader of the thieves opened the umbrella, and sure enough, flames rose into the sky and rushed toward Li Zhong and others.
When Li Zhong and others saw this, they turned around and ran away.
The leader of the thieves laughed, held up his umbrella, and tried to take the carriage away, but the carriage did not move.
The thief leader frowned and looked sideways: "Huh?"
Lin Xiaodong stepped forward slowly: "Your method doesn't work today."
When the thief saw that Lin Xiaodong was a Taoist, he immediately became alert and asked, "Who is he?"
Lin Xiaodong said calmly: "Qiongchang Mountain Zhixu Guan Lin Xiaodong."
When the thief heard this, he was shocked: "Are you Lin Xiaodong?"
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "It's someone."
The leader of the thieves asked: "You are not in Qiongchang Mountain, so you came here to guard the bodyguard?"
Lin Xiaodong smiled ferociously: "Lin is here today just for you guys who are robbing families and homes by using Taoism!"
When the leader of the thieves heard this, he couldn't hold himself back and came to kill him with his sword.
Lin Xiaodong raised his sword in return, raised both swords simultaneously, and moved around for twenty rounds.
How could the leader of the thieves be an opponent? He moved back and said, "You are the same age as me, how can you have such magical power?"
Lin Xiaodong asked: "Where is your mountain gate? The fallen grass is a bandit. Did your teacher know?"
The leader of the thieves grinned and gnashed his teeth: "You don't have to worry about it!"
Then he opened the umbrella, and suddenly a raging fire came, covering the sky and the earth.
When Li Zhong, Xiang Qian and others saw it, their faces turned pale and they hid aside.
Lin Xiaodong looked up, standing still with his sleeves folded, not hiding, and his whole body was enveloped in flames.
Li Zhong stared and exclaimed: "Taoist Master Lin!"
Xiang Qian stamped his feet and opened his mouth: "Isn't this going to burn him to death?"
The leader of the thieves put away his umbrella, the fire light dispersed, but everyone's expressions changed.
Lin Xiaodong stood still, unscathed.
Xiang Qian thought he saw a ghost and rubbed his eyes: "What's going on?"
Li Zhong asked in confusion: "Why didn't even a hair get burned?"
The leader of the thieves yelled angrily: "You are evil!"
He held up his umbrella and walked away with the person turning into a rainbow.
Lin Xiaodong raised his head and said, "Lin is waiting quietly at Qiongchang Mountain."
Li Zhong and others looked up for a while, then came to Lin Xiaodong.
Li Zhong asked: "Why is Taoist Lin not afraid of fire?"
Lin Xiaodong smiled and said: "This is the tiniest magical power in Taoism."
Xiang Qian kept his eyes fixed: "So you really have magic power.
I have offended you a lot before, so please forgive me."
Li Zhongdao: "If it weren't for Taoist Lin's presence today, I'm afraid the five hundred taels of gold would not be guaranteed."
Lin Xiaodong said: "The thief will probably come to Qiongchang Mountain to find me. You can transport the gold back to Jicheng, and Lin will leave first."
Li Zhong was startled: "Taoist Lin is leaving?
Where can we go in the middle of the night, in the wilderness?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Lin returned to Qiongchang Mountain from here in just a snap of his fingers."
Xiang Qian asked: "What will happen if the thief comes again?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "When the thief comes, I will come too, so you can rest assured."
After saying that, he disappeared.
Li Zhong and others looked around and were greatly shocked.
That night passed safely, and at dusk the next day, Li Zhong delivered the gold to Zhengtong Bank safely.
Hu Chen and Liu Gui came to greet them.
Liu Gui asked: "Have you ever met that thief?"
Hu Chen asked: "Where is Taoist Lin?"
Li Zhongdao: "Boss Hu, this Taoist Lin is extraordinary."
Hu Chen smiled: "I told you earlier, Taoist Lin has great magical powers. I have seen it with my own eyes."
Li Zhongdao: "We met that group of thieves last night. There was indeed an umbrella man who could set fire under the umbrella. Director Lin's whole body was covered by fire, but not a single hair on his head was lit.
Seeing Taoist Master Lin's tactics, the thief was so frightened that he turned into a red light and left."
Xiang Qian said: "For four days back and forth, Taoist Lin did not drink a sip of water, eat a morsel of food, or sleep at all. He is really a god."
Hu Chen said: "It's great. At least the remaining fifteen hundred taels can be transported safely."
In the middle of the night, a beam of green light fell on Qiongchang Mountain, and many Taoists appeared. They were Ji Jiang, Jia Youdao, Tang Qing, Xiang Hailiang, Lu Xinghou, Xiao Ye, and Xiao Ye, the leader of the thieves.
