When Ye Yinfeng returned to the inn, he found Li Xiaoyao sitting at the table in the room in a miserable state.
He saw that his hair was messy and his face was pale. The large Taoist robe had been torn several times, and there were a few drops of blood on the robe. What made him even more worried was that there was a trace of bright blood on the corner of the fat Taoist priest's mouth.
Li Xiaoyao's breath was a little confused, he couldn't stop breathing, and his chest kept heaving.
"What's going on?" Ye Yinfeng asked him with concern. The person who could hurt him must be an extremely powerful being. He also felt a hint of danger.
Li Xiaoyao told the story of what he encountered with a solemn expression. Although he was injured, his spirit was not too bad.
It turned out that Li Xiaoyao woke up early in the morning. He did not wake up Ye Yinfeng, but went to Yizhuang by himself, hoping to find some clues about the ghost-faced man of Jiuyou Sect there again.
When he was about to arrive at the Yizhuang, he found that a person had entered the Yizhuang a step ahead of him. Li Xiaoyao was very surprised that no one should have come to the Yizhuang at such an early hour. He saw
Someone entered the yizhuang one step ahead of him, but he did not go in. He stayed in a dark place waiting for the person to come out.
In about two quarters of an hour, the man retreated from the village. After the man exited the village, Li Xiaoyao discovered that the man turned out to be the man surnamed Lin whom he met at the restaurant.
The man surnamed Lin seemed to be very cautious, observing his surroundings from time to time. When he came out, his face was very pale. It was obvious that the death of the man with the grimace was unexpected. He hesitated in front of the gate of Nayizhuang for a long time, feeling as if
I'm hesitating to decide something, but I still can't make up my mind.
The man surnamed Lin was looking around and walking back and forth in front of the gate of Nayizhuang with his hands behind his hands. Li Xiaoyao, who was in the dark, kept staring at him secretly. The man did not realize that he was being stared at by others.
Up.
At this time, there were several loud voices not far away. Li Xiaoyao was startled, thinking that someone was walking towards the yizhuang. He turned around and saw that it was several city traders and lackeys coming from the yizhuang.
Passing by a small road not far away, the direction was towards Raozhou City Street.
When Li Xiaoyao turned back to look at the man surnamed Lin, he saw that he had also heard the voice of someone speaking. He hurriedly left the Yizhuang like a frightened bird, and the direction was opposite to Raozhou City.
.
Li Xiaoyao followed closely behind him, that man's Qinggong was not very good.
Because it was still early in the morning, there were no pedestrians on this road. The man ran all the way, and he did not expect that there was a fat Taoist priest behind him.
About half an hour later, he came to the top of a small hill, which was on the shore of Poyang Lake. There was a cliff near the top of the hill. There was a small thatched house on the top of the hill. The thatched house was not too big.
There are only two or three rooms.
The man surnamed Lin quickly walked into one of the thatched houses, and heard a violent cough coming from the thatched house. Li Xiaoyao hid behind a rock three feet away from the thatched house, with both hands
His ears were listening to the movement in the thatched house, and his eyes were fixed on the thatched house.
After a while, the conversation between two people reached his ears.
"That man is dead, and I don't know who killed him." The man named Lin said in a panicky voice.
"Don't panic. If you die, you will die. Why are you panicking? Someone will find out about you. Calm down. How can you behave in such a panic? Cough???????"
Then an old voice came out, accompanied by a violent cough. The speaker should be an old man.
"But the Zhang family knows that I took them to find the body of the merchant who died here. Both of them are dead. Originally, the man who called himself Ghost Claw would take over the matter. Who knew the three of them would do it?"
Everyone is dead. The first person the Zhang family suspects is me. I am afraid that I will implicate you. Once the Zhang family’s worship masters find out my whereabouts, they will definitely implicate you."
The man named Lin said anxiously, with endless anxiety and uneasiness in his tone.
"I am already very old. Do I still care about life and death? When the old man from Zhang's family died, he would still cause some troubles, making people uneasy. He thought he had made such a burial.
Isn't it possible that no one can find his true body? The Zhang family has done all the evil things and created such a burial technique. They are really afraid that his enemies will find his true tomb. If he didn't know
If the old immortal is buried with that piece of jade, we don't care how he is buried."
The old voice sounded again, with a bit of disdain in his tone, as if he also hated the deceased member of the Zhang family.
Li Xiaoyao listened to the conversation between the two people in the dark and analyzed the content of the conversation.
"Then what should we do? That person is dead, and there is no longer any threat to the Zhang family. Originally, according to our own plan, we should be able to steal the jade pendant smoothly. But now that person has changed the plan on his own, and
If such an accident occurs, the jade pendant will definitely fall into the hands of others."
The man surnamed Lin asked anxiously again, always trying to get the old man's opinion.
"What else can we do? We can only wait now. If the jade pendant buried with the immortal Zhang family is really the legendary 'Jade of Apocalypse', then our trip here will not be in vain." The old voice just finished,
There was another violent cough.
But Li Xiaoyao, who was hiding in the dark, was shocked, because when he heard the words "Jade of Apocalypse", his mind suddenly lost control, and the energy fluctuations in his body immediately leaked out.
"Who?", a loud shout was suddenly heard from the thatched house, and then a gray figure shot out of the thatched house quickly and rushed towards Li Xiaoyao's hiding place.
The distance of three feet was reached in an instant, and the gray figure rushed towards Li Xiaoyao with a fierce aura.
The gray figure was a gray-haired old man dressed in gray coarse cloth. The old man shot out from the thatched house and landed next to Li Xiaoyao, slapping him with both hands.
All this happened too suddenly, in this flash of lightning,
Li Xiaoyao took a step back and raised his palms to meet the old man's palms.
"Bang, bang" twice,
The two of them shook their bodies a few times, but no one gained the upper hand.
Blocking the old man's attack, Li Xiaoyao floated ten feet away in a flash. He looked at the old man with fear. The palm just now shocked him so much that his blood boiled, and the opponent's internal strength was not in his own.
It might even be better than that.
The old man also stopped and did not continue to attack Li Xiaoyao. He was also secretly surprised when he saw the other party's fat figure, wearing a robe, and a fat face with a childish look.
Qi, this little Taoist priest is only about thirteen or fourteen years old. He has extraordinary internal strength at such a young age. Why doesn't this surprise him?
"This little Taoist priest, why did you come to this remote place to eavesdrop on the conversation between my grandfather and grandson?" The old man shouted in a deep voice, with a sharp light in his eyes, and a hint of murderous intent flickering.
"I can go wherever I like. Do you care? The scenery here is extremely beautiful. I can't come here to enjoy the mountains and rivers. You old man, who saw your Taoist eavesdropping on your conversation?"
La."
Li Xiaoyao crossed his hands and said arrogantly. He was so hastily shocked by the old man's palm just now that his blood boiled. He was so angry that he certainly had no good words for the old man.
"What an unreasonable little Taoist priest. My grandfather asked you nicely, but you are so unreasonable. Hey, why is it you?",
The man surnamed Lin rushed out, and he opened his mouth to speak. When he saw Li Xiaoyao's face clearly, he was surprised, because he recognized this fat Taoist priest, who had asked him questions in the restaurant.
"Hey, it's easy to talk about." Li Xiaoyao smiled awkwardly. He was following the man named Lin and was recognized by others. Even the thickest person would feel a little embarrassed.
"Little Taoist priest, you must know how to respect the old and love the young, and don't speak arrogant words." The old man did not ask why the man named Lin recognized him. After hearing Li Xiaoyao's arrogant words, he immediately became furious and immediately shouted.
.
"I said you old man, I am here to enjoy the mountains and rivers. When you rush out without asking any questions, you just hit me with your palm and say that I am arrogant. I think you are such an old man.
It is disrespectful to the elderly."
Li Xiaoyao suddenly jumped up with anger. No one had scolded him since he was a child, not even his master Wuyouzi. Who was the old man to scold him so loudly?
.
As soon as the old man heard the other party's arrogant words, he was immediately furious. His face suddenly turned red with anger, and then he coughed violently.
After coughing, he regained his breath and shouted loudly: "Which little Taoist priest from which Taoist family are you? You are so rude. I will teach your elders a lesson for you, a little Taoist priest who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth."
After saying that, his feet slipped, he raised his palms and slapped Li Xiaoyao again, and his palms brought up a majestic wave of air and rushed towards Li Xiaoyao's face.
Li Xiaoyao was shocked when he saw it, and at the same time he felt happy. He wanted to be angry with the other person. He would be so angry that the other person would lose his mind, and then he could find out the other person's flaws. But he didn't expect that the other person's inner strength was so deep.
, it is really rare to find people with such cultivation level in this world.
Li Xiaoyao was not afraid. He poured his inner strength into his hands and turned his palms to meet the old man. However, his feet also followed extremely delicate footwork.
However, his palms did not directly meet the opponent's palms. Instead, he turned around vigorously, and his fat palms strangely slapped the old man's chest, but his body twisted to avoid it.
The old man slapped him hard.
The old man was also shocked. He didn't expect that the opponent's movements were so weird. He hurriedly stepped back with his feet and retracted his palms. At the same time, his right hand turned into a palm and struck straight down on the opponent's palms, and his left hand turned into a fist and struck toward the opponent's chest.
Pound it in front.
Li Xiaoyao saw this and secretly applauded. Although the old man was seriously ill, he was unambiguous and his reaction speed was as fast as lightning. His feet slipped strangely again and avoided the old man's left fist.
.At the same time, he turned his body to the left side of the old man, and patted the old man's left shoulder with both palms unchanged.
In this flash of lightning,
The old man suddenly turned around and forcefully caught the opponent's palms with both hands.
"Bang, bang", two dull sounds came out,
The two of them took a step back one after another. Li Xiaoyao felt that the old man's palms were like a pair of iron palms burned red, and a hot air flow passed through the other's palms directly to his own hands, creating a strong recoil force.
His arms were numb for a while, and the hot breath ripped open countless holes in his robe.
Li Xiaoyao only felt that his arms were numb, as if they were not his own, and a hot blood surged from his chest to his throat. He could no longer suppress it and spurted it out.
But the old man's face turned even redder, and he staggered, swayed a few times, and coughed violently again.
Both of them suffered considerable internal injuries, especially after Li Xiaoyao and the old man fought hard with this palm, their breaths began to become disordered, and there was no trace of blood on their pale faces.
The man surnamed Lin was at a loss by the side, and he could not stop these two people. After all, his cultivation level was too low. When he saw the old man coughing uncontrollably, he quickly stepped forward to support him and asked with concern:
"How are you doing."
The old man ignored him, gently threw his hand away, and asked Li Xiaoyao: "No wonder you are so arrogant. It turns out that you are that man's disciple. I don't know how to call this Taoist priest."
Obviously, he could see Li Xiaoyao's identity through the opponent's footwork and internal strength, and his tone also seemed much kinder.
"Xiao Dao Xiaoyao, may I ask who the senior is?" The other party had already lowered his face to talk to him. Of course, Li Xiaoyao was also very polite to him. Besides, the other party also knew his master.
"I'm an old man from the mountains. I don't want to mention my name. Can the Taoist priest please give me the honor to sit in a humble house?" The old man obviously didn't want to reveal his identity. Instead, he invited Li Xiaoyao to sit in the thatched hut.
Li Xiaoyao couldn't say anything. He couldn't refuse the other party's kind invitation. He also had many things to ask the other party for advice.
