Chapter 451: People are creatures that rely on vanity to survive
Liao Wenjie jumped down from the manhole cover, his body falling to the ground as light as nothing. When the three women of the Chen family fell, he waved his hand and raised the breeze to help them relieve their momentum.
"What a huge underground palace..."
Liao Wenjie narrowed his eyes slightly. The underground space occupies a huge area and is supported by fluorescent rock pillars. In the distance, lanterns and candles illuminate the area, reflecting the outline of an ancient building.
Looking at the lime gravel used for dehumidification under our feet, we can imagine that this underground palace has been systematically designed and built, and it was definitely not built by one person.
The old eunuch couldn't build this underground palace, and even if he could, he couldn't avoid it from the eyes and ears of the public.
It is conceivable that when he settled in Hong Kong Island, it was definitely not a temporary decision. There must be someone to support him.
As for who this person is...
It's not hard to guess.
The four of them walked quickly towards the underground palace gate, about a hundred meters away, hiding behind the huge pillars.
In the palace wall courtyard, the red doors are closed and lanterns are hung high.
In the open space paved with stone slabs, the stone piles of mythical animals are arranged according to the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams, and they hold bright lamps in their mouths to drive away the darkness and illuminate the whole place.
In front of the gate of the underground palace, two groups of people are confronting each other. Looking at their clothes, the martial arts practitioners on the left blocking the gate are full of vitality and blood; on the right, there are men and women, a hodgepodge of monks and Taoists, and the group on the right is practitioners.
The two groups, the Hong Kong Martial Arts Association and the Hong Kong Island Cultivation Association, totaling over a hundred people, squared off in front of the gate, neither arguing nor fighting, each showing off their muscles.
Rather than talking about muscles, they are more like firearms and weapons. Just like fighting, there are all kinds of rifles and submachine guns. Although the number is not large, there are really many styles.
The most outrageous thing is that a certain funny guy from the Wushu Association pulled out a Maxim heavy machine gun. He was so proud and proud that he suddenly became the most handsome guy in the room.
Times have changed!
After decades of hard work, they were defeated by ordinary people at the flick of a finger. The rapid changes in science and technology have accelerated the process of the end of the Dharma era.
"What are those people doing, making a fight? Why are they just talking and not doing anything? Come on, fight. They are so impatient!" Chen Qi complained.
By the way, [app] is really good and worth installing. Even Android and Apple phones support it!
"Maybe I'm waiting for someone, or waiting for a suitable opportunity..."
Chen Dong looked at Liao Wenjie with a hint of fighting intent in his eyes, thinking that the four of them were an opportunity.
"Wait, don't rush in."
Liao Wenjie raised his hand to stop Chen Dong who was eager to try: "Let them chat for another ten minutes. It is best to lure the old eunuch out so that we can rescue the baby."
Having said this, he shook his head slightly. The three teammates he was matched with this time, let's just call them teammates, none of them were very smart.
"Ah...private, did you discover something?"
"The manhole cover we came down from is the entrance to the underground palace. It was concealed by someone, and there were also several spells to hold breath, silence, and expel passers-by, in order to keep irrelevant people aside."
Liao Wenjie changed the topic: "Human beings are creatures that rely on vanity to survive. Pretending is a source of happiness for both men and women. But if a person ignores the opportunity to show off, he still covers his head and tries his best to be low-key.
, there are only two possibilities."
"The first type is that this person has a problem and has serious intentions!"
"Second, this person has higher spiritual pursuits, love, morality, dreams, and so on."
really!
Chen Qi glanced at Liao Wenjie and then at Chen Dong. That's right. They were both covered. One of them had problems and the other had spiritual pursuits.
"So, what do you want to express?" Chen Dong asked again.
"Rescuing babies who have been missing serially is an act of great kindness and righteousness. If it were me, I would definitely let everyone know about it by beating gongs and drums, but I didn't."
Liao Wenjie curled his lips. He felt that these two groups were not good people and it would be good to fight.
He dares to say this because several acquaintances he knows are not here, including Uncle Feng, Jingyuan, and Zhang Lihua. Among them, Zhang Lihua has a family background and has the explosive mode of using the power of the ancestor. He is the most powerful. There is no reason for the big association to fight.
I left her behind during the SS wave.
Considering that these three people have excellent moral character, Uncle Feng and Jingyuan are both scornful masters, and the members of the big association present must be different from them.
…
"Dear benefactors, you all know that Old Monster Chen kidnapped the baby and hid it in the underground palace. It's too late to stop now, so don't help him do evil again."
For a large association, an old monk came out as a representative.
Like Taoist Master Yun Su who was tricked to death by Leon before, the old monk is a well-known spiritual master in Hong Kong Island and is a pillar-like existence with great prestige.
Seeing his arrival, a group of people from the Hong Kong Martial Arts Association looked embarrassed, and several old men in mandarin jackets stood out.
These people are from local martial arts sects in Hong Kong such as Eagle Claw and Tai Chi. Regardless of their martial arts skills, they have many disciples and are very senior. Together, their prestige can barely compete with that of the old monk.
"Master Changdeng, we all understand the truth. You don't need to say more, but life and death are at stake, and we have no other choice."
The old men smiled bitterly. They didn't want to help the tyrants, and they didn't want to be lackeys, but their lives were in Eunuch Chen's hands and they really couldn't help themselves.
"The poor monk knows a thing or two about the sufferings of all the donors. How about you step aside for a while and wait for me to have a few words with the donor Chen?"
"No, if you go in, we brothers may be killed on the spot."
Several old men shook their heads in unison. Eunuch Chen had a hidden weapon that was very vicious. Flying needles could penetrate the body and travel around the body with the blood. If his orders were not followed, the flying needles would penetrate into the brain, making it difficult for the gods to save him.
Not only that, the flying needles are smeared with special poison. When the toxin attacks, the poisoned person is like falling into an ice cave. It is so cold in summer that it is useless to wear a cotton-padded jacket or turn on the air conditioner.
Every three months, the underground palace will open its doors, and Eunuch Chen sends his four guardians to deliver the antidote one by one.
The temporary antidote only guarantees that the toxin will not attack within three months. After three months...
Here we refer to tourist attractions such as Lingjiu Palace, Blackwood Cliff, and Shenlong Island. Considering the character design of Wu Niao, it is recommended to directly refer to Oriental Invincible.
"If you, the donors, try to stop the lives of eighteen babies again, don't blame the poor monk for being tough..."
"You're such a stinking baldhead, stop pretending to be a good person here!"
In the Hong Kong Martial Arts Association, a strong man with a bad temper came out, pointed at Monk Changdeng's nose and cursed: "When Eunuch Chen came to Hong Kong Island, everyone said it was a disaster, but you and Yun Su shook their heads,
Not only did he come here to provide for his retirement, but he also helped him build this 'thatched cottage'."
"Now Eunuch Chen has taken off his mask and stopped pretending, and you started pretending again. Damn it, the baby is the victim, and we are not?"
After the strong man finished speaking, there were many people who responded. They were deeply poisoned and only wanted to save their lives. However, Chang Deng, the instigator, said some nonsense moral principles in front of them.
If you are so good at throwing the blame, why don't you become a cook?
"The donor mistakenly blamed the poor monk and Taoist Yun Su. In the past, the major associations declined, and the martial arts association also declined. Hong Kong Island urgently needs to attract strong masters, so..."
Monk Changdeng hurriedly explained, "Don't ask, just ask at this moment and that moment. The situation at that time requires it."
In addition, who knows that Eunuch Chen is still alive today, and he never said that he had taken the elixir of youth at that time.
"Stop talking nonsense. Our martial arts training is so passionate that we can't compare to you people. Let's just leave it here today. If you want us to die, we won't make it easy for you."
"That's right, if you want to get in, first ask Maxim if he will agree to it!"
"..."
In front of the gate, the quarrel was getting louder and louder, and it was about to escalate into a fight.
At this time, someone didn't know who pulled the trigger. After a gunshot, everyone was shocked.
Startled→quiet→calm!
After confirming that it was just an ordinary fire accident and no one was injured, the two groups started from the beginning and once again talked the truth in gentle tones.
…
"A bunch of cowards just look at the clues, but in fact they have no idea." Chen Qi said disdainfully.
"This is called maturity. How can it be called cowardice when it comes to social things?"
Liao Wenjie shook his head: "Let's go, don't waste time, there's nothing to see here, let's go rescue the baby."
Two huskies were quarreling across the railing. It was an old picture. He had seen it many times and didn't want to see it again.
"You, open the way ahead."
Liao Wenjie asked Chen San to lead the way, and warned Chen Qi to pay attention to the gun and not to cause a bloody incident before finding the children.
Chen San nodded, and then hesitantly said: "If we move together, there will be too many people. Why don't you wait for me here, and I will take the children out after I become invisible. It will be safer this way."
"To hold two children at a time, eighteen children have to make nine trips, so we should go together..."
Chen Qi raised questions, and as she was talking, she noticed that Chen San was looking directly at her calmly, and then she realized that Chen San was not worried about the crowd, but that she was worried that her whereabouts would be exposed if she dropped the chain.
Who are you looking down on!
Chen Qi was furious. Since he looked down upon her so much, she would not go in.
"No. 5, No. 7, you two stay, and No. 3 and I will go." Liao Wenjie decided.
"What is number five, number seven? It sounds weird... Well, what's your number?" Chen Qi narrowed his eyes and removed the word "possible". He was very confident that Liao Wenjie was just playing with colors.
"As the Romans do, you can call me Chen Jiu." Liao Wenjie touched the mask on his face. When wearing a vest, he can call me anything as long as he is not Liao Wenjie.
"Chen Jiu already has someone."
"Then let him change it."
"Chen Jiu is a big stupid guy who has been ugly since he was a child."
Chen Qi looked like he was seeing a joke: "If you use this name, it will only make me turn you into an ugly ghost."
"Not very handsome..."
Seeing Liao Wenjie, Chen San was too lazy to talk to him, but he still said honestly: "Chen Jiu is a bald man with no emotions. He was in the same class as me and Chen Qi. He was brainwashed thoroughly by Eunuch Chen. He only obeyed orders. That's right."
He is a capable general."
Coincidentally, Chen Jiu was taking care of the baby, and Liao Wenjie could see it right away.
"Forget it, let him use this name for himself."
Liao Wenjie looked disgusted and changed his words: "As the Romans do, you can call me Chen..."
"Chen Yi! Chen Da?" Chen Qi answered quickly.
"Tangerine peel."
"..."x3
Leaving two speechless faces, Liao Wenjie patted Chen San on the shoulder, made her invisible, and floated away with her, disappearing into the darkness together.
