Later, Gentleman Li no longer cared about officialdom and turned around to buy land and became a wealthy landowner in the town.
Sure enough, the next few days proved that what Yunyangzi said was true. However, three or four years later, the Manchu Qing government collapsed. When the Republic of China was established, a large number of former Qing officials were liquidated. Some of Mr. Li’s past understandings
All my classmates were revolutionized.
Just when Mr. Li was going to Lingshou Ancient Temple to thank Yunyangzi, Yunyangzi suddenly came to visit unexpectedly. The smiley eyes were unstoppable, and his life was about to end. Although he had never practiced profound Taoism in his life and could not control the wind and rain, he could not control the wind and rain.
It is rare to finally die at a long life without any illness.
"Perhaps you don't even know Chen Guan. Although your master looks only over sixty years old, he is actually 103 years old!" Mr. Li couldn't help but sigh, and said to Chen Guan: "He is here
It is rare to live such a long life in troubled times! When I was saying goodbye to my master, I begged him to give me orders for my future children because I had just gotten married.
Watch life, and then say that I am destined to have a son and a daughter. The son's fate is a bit embarrassing, but although the daughter is destined to have many calamities, she can always turn bad luck into good luck. She can just name her "Li Jie'er" when she is born.
!”
Li Jie'er's face was pink and very cute. She had always been quietly beside her mother. Now she smiled softly and said: "Before I went to school, I always thought that the word 'Jie' in my name meant 'white'."
'Jie', but after I learned how to read it, I found out that it was the 'Jie' of 'Tribulation'. Although it is not common and difficult to write, my father said that it was the name given by the old gods in the past. I also gradually like this name! This secret room I
I have never come in. Brother and sister, do you think so?"
"Yes!" Xuezi smiled and nodded. Li Jie'er was really sensible since he was a child.
Chen Guan's voice was a little sob, and he said: "It turns out that the old Taoist priest has always cared about me. Even before his death, he asked Mr. Li to take care of me. It's a pity that I was only eight years old at the time and I didn't know the old Taoist priest's thoughts!"
Everyone has understood that what Yunyangzi said, "I also deduced that this secret room will also be related to the ancient temple in the future. It can be regarded as the tree planted by the predecessors and used by future generations to enjoy the shade." It is today that Chen Guan and Xuezi entered the secret room to take refuge.
"One day after a snowfall, the sky was clear and the sky and the earth were pure white. I was in high spirits, so I went to the ancient temple to visit the real person in Yunyang. At that time, Chen Guan was only four or five years old, and he fell asleep in the temple. I brought the best apricot flower wine with me.
, I drank several more cups with Master Yunyang in the temple. Master Yunyang suddenly lamented that he had lived in vain for nearly a hundred years and stayed in Lingshou Temple for a long time, but he had no chance to see through the mystery of the drinking hole where the seven dragons look back.
After drinking, they got into a good conversation. He said that his master's ancestors had taught him that the Lingshou Ancient Temple was the best Seven Dragons Looking Back Drinking Water Cave. It contained the supreme secret of cultivating Taoism, but only the destined disciples could obtain it.
After all, he didn't have the chance. After seeing the fate of the Republic of China, he was hopeless forever, so he pinned all his hopes on you, Chen Guan." Mr. Li continued.
After Mr. Li got rich with a large amount of land in the town, he cultivated his moral character even more. He collected many ancient books in his study. After he returned home, he searched through the ancient books and finally found the book "Benevolence is Always" written by the Yin and Yang family of hundreds of pre-Qin scholars.
I found records about the Seven Dragons Look Back Drinking Cave, and it is said that the Seven Dragons Look Back Drinking Cave is a sacred place regarded as a first-class by Jie Jiao disciples in monasticism. It is guarded by Qilin beasts and is mostly used for practice and collection of secrets.
"Shh..." Xuezi had been using her spiritual energy to listen attentively outside, and suddenly whispered: "Someone came in outside!"
Although everyone was surprised, they kept silent. Sure enough, two minutes later, the little nigger gently gave everyone a gesture outside to indicate that someone was coming.
Xuezi didn't dare to speak, so she squatted down and wrote softly on the sand in the secret room: "Everyone, be careful and don't make a sound! The leader of the people coming outside is a master who has survived the thunder tribulation, the three disciples of the head of the Koga sect.
The Three Wolves of Hoshino.”
Mr. Li and Li Zhenbei were both surprised that a girl as young as Xuezi knew the name of a Japanese ninja, but now they did not dare to speak to each other. They listened quietly outside. This thick brick wall blocked the
Most of the sounds from outside can only be heard when everyone is completely quiet.
Chen Guansheng was afraid that Xuezi would be suspected by everyone, so he squatted on the ground. Whenever the Japanese said something, he would immediately write it in the sand on the ground and translate it into Chinese characters.
"Third Senior Brother, we are back too!" He Yingzi, the first person outside, said bitterly: "We originally completed the task smoothly and killed all the one-third of the townspeople in the south, but the damn thing is that we didn't know from now on.
Two people, a man and a woman, appeared out of nowhere and unexpectedly attacked us and killed two junior brothers in an instant, using heavy-handed techniques in practice."
Hattori Sha also said: "When these two people escaped, their movement skills were very strange. Normally, people who have not survived the thunder tribulation cannot jump up, but each step of these two people was two to three meters, nearly one foot.
They could easily cross the high earth wall, so we didn't catch them."
Sure enough, the three senior brothers, Hoshino Sanlang, were the leaders of the three teams, and Kōga Sakurako and Hattori Sha were reporting the situation to him.
At this time, a cold and low voice sounded: "Even the vultures can't follow them this time. It's not your fault for being incompetent! Captain Takeda, how is the situation over there?"
This voice was obviously that of the three Hoshino wolves, and he was asking the troops of the third team.
Captain Takeda hurriedly replied: "Everything is normal, but we encountered a sneak attack by the Chinese leader Li Zhenbei. He and one of his men fell through the cracks and killed three of my soldiers! However, they were also shot and injured.
Got it!"
The voices of the three Hoshino wolves became a little angry: "Hmph, the whole town only has a population of three to four hundred, and you are not completely silenced. Four people escaped. It is really embarrassing to the Imperial Army of Japan and the Koga faction! My team is going smoothly.
Smooth flow, no problem at all! And the last time I disguised myself as a grain merchant from Guandong and took a vulture to explore the road, I felt that the most cultured person in the whole town was Mr. Li. I once visited him, and his home has the largest collection of classical books.
, hundreds of schools of thought and Taoist classics are involved in it. He himself is also a practitioner of the ancient Chinese culture. He may be the only person in the town who knows the Seven Dragons Look Back Drinking Cave! Moreover, I heard that he is the only one in the town who has the same relationship with the previous generation of spiritual leaders.
I have dated Taoist priests from Guguan! So this morning I specifically ordered you not to enter the Li family’s mansion and chase people away, leaving anyone alive! What do you say now? You can’t find anyone from the Li family?”
Captain Takeda hurriedly said: "Yes, we killed all the townspeople in the north and rushed over to block the three front and rear side doors. We didn't see anyone entering or leaving! Even Mr. Hoshino said that Mr. Li's wife, son and daughter
Also missing!”
The three Hoshino wolves were very puzzled in their voices: "They were all at home last night, why did they suddenly disappear today? You should search thoroughly again quickly, even if you dig three feet in the ground, you still have to find them! Also, the Chinese people are very cunning, you guys
Let’s see if there are any underground secret passages or something like that!”
Then the noise coming from the Japanese outside became louder. There were shouts, footsteps, and hands. All the furniture and furnishings were probably overturned, and there were also some "clang, clang, clang, clang" sounds.
, many porcelain and earthenware jars were smashed.
After working for about a full hour, Hattorisha, Koga Sakurako, and Captain Takeda reported to Hoshino Saburo one after another: "No one can be found!"
Hoshino Saburo was furious: "Is there another mystery?"
He turned around, supporting the walls all around, and struggled to extend spiritual energy from various pillars. He clapped his hands several times, but various echoes came. His palm strength was amazing, and the wall pillars cracked, but there was nothing weird about it.
The thick wall of the secret room was inlaid with various precious porcelain latticeworks, but Hoshino Saburo did not move towards this direction.
"I'm so angry, uncle!" Hoshino Saburo finally became decadent and could only say: "You are a bunch of idiots. The porcelain you smashed just now is hundreds of years old. If you bring it back to the country, the emperor will definitely like it very much.
, they were all smashed by you! That’s all. Seventh Junior Brother, you go to the study and see that all the paintings hanging inside are rolled up. The Emperor also likes those ancient paintings! Eighth Junior Sister, go and pack up the oldest books in the study and take them back to honor Master.
!Captain Takeda, hurry up and gather all the corpses, then pour gasoline on all the surrounding areas of the town and set them on fire. I want the entire town to be barren of grass and not a single corpse left!"
"Third Senior Brother is still thoughtful." Koga Yingzi quickly agreed to split up. Their mission in the town was considered a failure. In this way, they could finally show their filial piety to the Emperor and Master, which could offset part of their responsibilities.
After more than an hour, all the people who went out to set fire and destroy corpses came back. Hoshino Saburo also recovered from his depression: "Let's go! Everyone, take your things and leave! The only thing that has not moved yet is Lingshou Ancient Temple, hum.
, I don’t know what Taoist priest Chen Guanxiao has! There is only one Taoist priest in the ancient temple in the past, but he can preserve the ancient temple from being dilapidated but not decaying. They dare to garrison at the Seven Dragons Looking Back Drinking Cave, I’m afraid they are really capable! I don’t know that they know
How many secrets? Let’s go straight out of town and up the mountain! The Li family’s mansion will also be burned down!”
Therefore, after the Japanese poured gasoline on the Li family mansion and set it on fire, they also left one after another.
Behind the thick wall, everyone in the secret room still dared not speak or move. Xuezi used spiritual energy to detect that the Japanese were already three or four miles away, and then nodded and said: "Okay, all the Japanese have left the town, you can talk now!"
The Li family mansion outside was already in a raging fire, but the brick wall of the secret room was very thick, and the heat transmitted through the brick wall did not affect the interior much. Only a small amount of smoke came from the small hole above the head.
Apparently the entire town outside was destroyed by fire.
Speaking outside, it was Chen Guan who quickly wrote on the sand and translated it. The exposure of his hand immediately shocked Li Zhenbei and Mr. Li: "I have always underestimated my little brother, but it turns out that my little brother is proficient in Japanese! Yunyang
The real person has to travel around every three years. I'm afraid he has been to Japan and taught the little brothers one time! At a young age, the girl can detect the atmosphere several miles away, what a great skill!"
Chen Guan didn't want to cause more trouble, so he just smiled and nodded in acquiescence.
