Chapter 71: The Assassin's Life-threatening Qianjintang
Four people and one dog walked to the stone door. Liu Shiba turned back and looked at the seventeen corpses standing behind the long case again, bowed slightly, and then resolutely walked out of the stone door of the ancient tomb.
Pull the copper ring in the tiger's mouth on the stone door back hard, and the stone door begins to slowly close. When it closes to a gap as small as a finger, the oil and fire tank in the hall slowly goes out.
Liu Shiba was wondering, who designed this?
How can a human oil fire sink automatically extinguish?
Could it be that this ancient tomb was designed by the gate that ranked third among the Five Elements in ancient times?
There is no time to delve into these mysteries now, so let’s go out and solve the troubles in front of us...
Following the passage they came from, the four of them walked quickly back to the entrance. Liu Shiba looked back at the corridor again and saw that the oil lamps of those people were still on.
He frowned and thought for a while before he realized that after people left, they would probably close the entrance and the lights would go out on their own.
Thinking of this, Liu Shiba didn't hesitate any longer and climbed up to the entrance of the cave which was one meter square and two meters high using both hands and feet.
After climbing up to the entrance of the cave, Liu Shiba was slightly startled. He found that not only had his whole body strength increased, but his body was also much lighter.
After strangely learning the third-level Qi-seeking technique and integrating the power of a fourth-level warrior, is this the second-level Captain Touching Gold?
The second level is already much stronger than ordinary people. What if it is the third level? What about the fifth level?
The ancestor of the Liu family was a ninth-grade Mojin Colonel, so how powerful was he?
That night when I visited Cao Chong's ancient tomb and found the human form of Tai Sui, if I had the lightness of my body now, I wouldn't have needed a human ladder to cross the two-meter-high wall.
The four people and one dog returned to the ancestral hall and did not go out in a hurry. Li Ergou and his wife turned around and carefully restored the bluestones and holes on the wall, and swept some of the dust left behind after loosening the stone slabs into the gaps again.
In that case, someone else who doesn't know what's going on will never think of the mystery below.
Then, Cao Xiong used a broom to clean up all the dust and bird droppings in the ancestral hall that fell when it was turned on and off.
After seeing that nothing was missing, Liu Shiba slowly opened the door of the ancestral hall and walked out.
When he reached the door, Liu Shiba was stunned.
At this time, under the steps of the ancestral hall, people of all ages and from Liujiatun were gathered. Almost everyone in the village was there. Standing at the front was Li Laifu, the old village chief of Liujiatun.
Seeing Liu Shiba coming out, Li Laifu hurriedly greeted him and asked: "Shiba, are you done?"
Liu Shiba looked at Li Laifu with a complicated expression and nodded with a smile.
"Li Laifu of the Qianjin Hall, the Eight Gates' Life-Calling Gate, has met the school captain."
Li Laifu bowed solemnly and saluted.
"I've met the captain."
The men, women, and children behind Li Laifu all saluted at the same time. Even the little baby who was babbling was forced by his parents to bow and salute.
Liu Shiba was stunned and said with a wry smile, somewhat at a loss:
"Okay, don't be too polite."
Then Liu Shiba glanced at Li Laifu and thought:
It turns out that those stationed in Liujiatun are descendants of the Suoming sect of the Three Five Elements!
This old village chief, Li Laifu, is really not that simple. He is a sixth-grade Feng Shui master, and he also serves as the master of the life-killing sect?
Isn't Suomingmen a killer? How could he be willing to guard Ziyun Mountain for thousands of years?
Liu Shiba calmed down and waved his hand calmly.
As if Liu Shiba's waving hand was an imperial edict, the men, women, and children in Liujiatun stood upright in compliance with the instructions.
However, the expressions on everyone's faces were still full of anticipation and excitement.
It would be a lie to say that I am not excited about the life of the most powerful Qianjintang, who has been wandering around to protect the Liu family for thousands of years, and only waited until the true successor of the school captain was born.
Who has ever thought about the bitter life in a mountain nest?
Everyone is a talented person, and everyone hopes to do a good job.
Li Laifu looked back at everyone, raised his hands and pressed them slowly, then turned back, his old face full of excitement, his lips trembling and he asked:
"School Lieutenant, please forgive me. The leader of Qianjin Hall, the Suoming Sect, Qianjin Hall, under my command, Li Laifu, dared to ask the Colonel to produce the school captain's inheritance certificate to order the Eighteen Iron Guards of Qianjin Hall, which belongs to Suoming Sect."
Hearing what Li Laifu said, Liu Shiba asked in surprise:
“I don’t know what credentials are needed?”
"Touch the Golden Order. Only with the Golden Order in hand can the captain command the Five Elements, Three Families and Eight Gates. This is the ancestral motto passed down through the ages."
Li Laifu's voice was very calm, and he did not feel any discomfort at all because of the offense caused by his words.
Liu Shiba stood there, looking at everyone's expectant eyes, and thought about it quietly.
Then, with everyone's eyes full of expectation, Liu Shiba secretly took out the gold-touching order in his pocket, took it out and slowly handed it to Li Laifu.
After receiving the Golden Touching Token, Li Laifu's hands were trembling with tears streaming down his face. He gently stroked the Golden Touching Token glowing with purple light and murmured in his mouth:
"That's right! This is the Golden Order. After thousands of years of guarding, we have finally waited until today.
The day of the rise of the Five Elements and Eight Gates has finally arrived. I never thought that this day would still be seen in the old man’s generation. The old man’s life has not been in vain.”
After saying this, Li Laifu's eyes gradually became serious, he respectfully handed the gold-touching order back to Liu Shiba with both hands, and then turned around and said sharply:
"The eighteen iron guards of Suomingmen's Qianjin Hall gather to see the captain."
After hearing Li Laifu's instructions, among the hundreds of people gathered in Liujiatun, seventeen men and women with steady steps and long breaths walked out silently, and then Li Ergou also stood in.
The eldest is Li Ergou, who is sixty years old this year, and the youngest is Ma Zhuzi, who is only in his early twenties. Among them is Wang Erbangzi, the deputy village chief of Liujiatun, who is fifty-three years old.
Normally, Liu Shiba knew that these old men of his uncle's generation had extremely good kung fu, which was unfathomable.
But today, when he saw these eighteen people together, Liu Shiba had a clear understanding.
These people hid in the mountains and fields, sacrificing not only their years, but also their endless loneliness...
Eighteen people stood in a small square formation of three to six. Li Laifu took a step forward again, solemnly saluted with his hands clasped in fists:
"Li Laifu, the master of Qianjin Hall of Suomingmen, led the eighteen iron guards to meet the school captain."
When Li Laifu finished speaking, the eighteen people standing behind him clasped their fists in salute and shouted loudly:
"See Captain."
Liu Shiba nodded strangely, and his eyes slowly swept over everyone in Liujiatun.
From childhood to adulthood, I have grown up here, and everyone here is someone I am extremely familiar with.
After calming down his excitement, Liu Shiba said loudly:
"Dear fellow villagers, Liu Shibaping has received a lot of care from everyone, and he has nothing to repay.
Thank you to all the elders and brothers for your continued protection of the Liu family and Liu Shiba.
I am actually a very ordinary person, but I cannot violate the ancestral precepts, and I have made a promise in the inheritance to lead everyone to live a good life."
After saying this, everyone in Liujiatun smiled happily and saluted Liu Shiba frequently.
After having a simple understanding of the power he had, Liu Shiba looked at Li Laifu and said:
"Old village chief!"
"Stop calling me the village chief, old man. Since the Golden Order has appeared, from today onwards there will be no village chief, only the master of Suomingmen Hall.
The eighteen people behind the old man are no longer your brothers, uncles, and uncles, we are all your subordinates..."
Before Liu Shiba finished speaking, he was interrupted and corrected by Li Laifu.
Liu Shiba's face gradually showed a trace of loss and guilt, and he looked at Li Laifu hard.
He finally understood that the Liujiatun of the past was no longer there, the warmth of the countryside was gone, and he and some young people of the same age were no longer brothers.
Their identity is simple, that is, they are the killing machines of the Death Gate!
