Thirty years ago, Tong Chen used the illusion to kill the four thieves and the enemies who came to chase the four people in Lanruo Temple.

Although people are dead, their things... are still there.

Those who seek revenge will not bring any expensive items on their bodies, but the four thieves are different. They have some close family background.

The "Taotie Thieves" Han Li had a secret recipe from Taihe Gong that he had obtained from somewhere.

Many people may not know this Taihe Gong, but I say you should know another person, that is, one of the four major assassins in "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Assassins" - Zhuang Zhu.

According to legend, in order to help Prince Ji Guang kill King Liao of Wu, Zhuang Zhu went to Taihu Lake to learn the skills of roasting fish from Taihe Gong for three years. After returning from his studies, he took advantage of the fact that King Liao of Wu prefers "fish roasting" and lures him to Prince Ji Guang's mansion, and staged the famous "fish sword hidden in the belly".

In short, in the late Spring and Autumn Period, Taihe Gong was unparalleled in the world when it comes to cooking fish or aquatic products. The recipes he left behind were indeed priceless for foodies like Han Li.

Next, let’s talk about the “Longyang Dao” Zhu Meng; although he is not the boss, among the four thieves, he has the highest martial arts skills.

Why is Zhu Meng beautiful and as beautiful as a woman, and his voice is soft and whispering?

Of course, he gayed on one hand, and another reason is that he practiced a martial art called "Duohenjuku", which caused some problems in his body's endocrine system and his hormone ratio was imbalanced.

Speaking of this "lovely trick", it is actually not a kung fu for men to practice. It was the martial arts method created by a hero in the world many years ago. Only a woman's physique can adapt.

This chivalrous woman is also a sin. Who would have thought that Zhu Meng would appear among her descendants...

But to be honest, Zhu Meng also has his pitiful side; he also lost his parents when he was less than ten years old. Seeing that he was the only child left in their family, a few unscrupulous relatives occupied Zhu Meng's ancestral property and sold the young Zhu Meng to a hall (another name for brothels) to be a little turtle slave.

This secret book passed down by Zhu Meng secretly hid it on his body, and it was also the only relics of his parents who had kept.

Fortunately, Zhu Meng had read books for several years and knew a lot of words, so he could basically understand the words in the secret book. So, after a few years, Zhu Meng became a martial arts master, but... his body and mind had changed a little.

Because the hall is full of women, Zhu Meng was led by these prostitutes, and he was influenced by the eyes and practiced women's kung fu. In this way, he practiced a "Longyang Thief" day after day.

In fact, if you really go into detail, the skill of "Emotional Art" is not absolutely something that can only be practiced by women. If your talent and understanding and martial arts foundation are high enough and you know how to modify some of the details, even men can practice it.

Taking the Emei Jiuyang Gong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as an example, it is derived from the part that was silently recorded by Master Tingjueyuan when he was young. Later, when Guo Xiang started his sect, her martial arts attainments could have modified the martial arts of the Nine Yang Divine Arts to be suitable for women to practice and passed on.

However, Zhu Meng naturally couldn't compare to Guo Xiang...

Because his parents died early, no one told him that the "Emotional Art" was a martial art practice by women, and Zhu Meng did not have an introductory martial arts master, and everything was learned by himself. In addition, his experience of being cheated by relatives made it difficult for him to build trust in others, and he would not be able to ask others for advice.

Therefore, the result of Zhu Mengqiang practicing the "Emotional Art" was that he had cultivated himself into a state of being a man and a half. He could not exert 10% of the power of this martial arts, and at most 60% to 70%.

Of course... 60% to 70% is enough.

After all, this is a high-quality martial arts. If you don’t compare with those masters in the martial arts world, you will be more than enough to compare with his other three brothers who are thieves.

Zhu Menglian succeeded his husband. When he left the brothel, his first business was to destroy the relatives who cheated him and swept away all his property. According to his ideas, this is called "take back my own things", and as for the extra part, it is used as interest.

After that, he began his career as a "grass-picking thief" and met three other brothers one after another. His "lovely craft" has been with him for so many years.

As a result, he also explained it to Lanruo Temple...

Next, it’s time to talk about the “Zhuge Thief” Lan Shuoli; what this brother left behind is very interesting - design drawings.

As mentioned earlier, Lan Shuoli likes "smart things" the most, such as mechanism traps, smoke screen flying needles, etc., to put it bluntly, this person is a magician.

The magician was hiding something, so he wanted to play some tricks: therefore, Lan Shuoli did not bring a "book" directly on his body, but instead hid his lifelong research results, namely those design drawings, in a metal box similar to his schoolbag. Only those who can crack the method of opening the box...for example, he himself can open and view the things inside.

Finally, it was the "Flying Thieves" Li Yuan.

This person is the one who loves money among the Four Thieves and the one with the best light skills, but if you think this person will leave behind any peerless light skills secrets, you would be wrong.

The light skills that Li Yuan learned are actually very ordinary, and you can learn them from any second- and third-rate sect. This guy's high light skills are really because of his extraordinary talent, so there is no need for him to learn particularly brilliant light skills, because ordinary light skills are already "stepped on his left foot and spiral to heaven" when he uses them. If you let him learn stronger light skills, there will be no big improvement when he actually uses them.

It’s like if you go to a key high school, you can barely get around 620 points in the college entrance examination, and if he goes to a regular high school, he can get above 650 points. Then it doesn’t make much sense to let him go to a key high school.

However, although he did not leave any martial arts, the "Flying Thieves" still left behind something else - a "counter ticket" from Baichuan Money House.

This cabinet ticket is the voucher issued to you when the ancient cabinet shop helped you save things. It is similar to the tickets in the pawn shop, and its service form is similar to today's bank vaults.

Baichuan Money House is one of the best big deals and has been in operation for hundreds of years. In addition to the businesses of ordinary money houses, some functions of the cabinet shop are also available, so it is very likely that this cabinet ticket can still be used today.

However, it is hard to say what the "Flying Thieves" stored in the cabinet, but judging from his personality of treating wealth as life, it is probably something that is more valuable than money and can preserve value. The possibility of antique calligraphy and painting is very high.

The above four items are what Sun Huanglei and the other two got after searching the room.

Tong Chen didn't deliberately keep the relics for the four thieves, but for the monsters, these things were useless, so he just put them there and didn't take them seriously.

Now, many years later, the double harmony and thunder are no longer averse.

Just as the three of them were about to divide the spoils, Miaoyinzi came back, but he was the only one who came back, but Xie Run had not come in for a long time.

"Hey? Taoist priest, where is Brother Xie?" Huang Donglai asked when he saw that there seemed to be no one outside the house.

"I'll let him leave first." Miaoyinzi said.

"Ah?" Sun Yixi raised his eyebrows and said, "How to go? This is an island in the middle of the lake. Where can he go? And the boat we took when we came was destroyed."

"Don't worry about this. The boat I took when I landed on the island is still intact. The boatman I sent to before is still on the island and is safe and sound. I have told the donor Xie to the boatman and the boat where they can leave first." Miaoyinzi replied.

"Wait..." Sun Yixie said, "Then they took the boat away, wouldn't we all be trapped here?"

"That's what he said...he..." Miaoyinzi smiled, "With me here, are you still afraid that you can't leave?"

"Well..." Sun Yixi's little eyes rolled again, "That's true, then... Taoist priest, why don't you just blow your breath and blow us to Wuchang."

"You really think I am a god? If I breathe a breath, I can cross you hundreds of miles. Will I still come to this day late?" Miaoyinzi asked back.

"Okay." Sun Yixie was right to think about it, and then said, "But I don't know why Taoist priest asked Brother Xie to leave first?"

"The direction he was going to be different from you after crossing the river, and he also carried an ominous object on his body, which would cause many disasters. I saw that he was quite upright and had a chivalrous heart, so I gave him some advice and let him take the lead." Miaoyinzi continued, "In addition, he said before he left, let me say goodbye to you on his behalf. The world is far away. When I see you again the next day, he will definitely repay you."

"Oh, so that's it." Sun Yixie nodded and responded.

"Also..." Miaoyinzi's words were not over yet, "I do have something to ask you three for help, so I need you to stay for a while."

Then, Miaoyinzi told them the legend of Lanruo Temple, including the story of the ancestor who destroyed the corpse on the Qing River earlier.

After listening to it, they realized that the paper man they met before was really the "Yelu Baoqi". The principle of Tongchen's demonic method was to parasitize the wronged souls trapped here on the paper man, and then let them serve themselves. Because these paper man himself have consciousness, the various "fakes" in the illusion will be more realistic and flexible in their actions.

So what help does Miaoyinzi help with Shuangxia and Lei Buji?

In fact, it is not a big deal. It is just that when he opened the altar, he needed several "boys" to siege the formation and protect the Dharma.

Although this job can also be replaced by "summoning creatures", it will naturally be better if the real person takes charge of it.

As for the reason why Miaoyinzi did it, I believe you can also guess that he would re-enforce the seal under Lanruo Temple so that something else would happen here after they left.

So until dawn, the three of them were helping the Taoist priest with this matter.

By the next day, it was bright.

Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji woke up almost at the same time.

They stood up and looked around and found that they were already sitting in an unmanned clearing on the south bank of the River, and their luggage and the relics they found were all placed around them.

The three of them had no idea when they fell asleep, nor did they know how they got here. Everything yesterday seemed to be a dream, but those terrifying memories and what they got reminded them that all this had actually happened...

Sun Yixie wanted to quickly divide the relics of the four thieves before he set out. Unexpectedly, Lei Buji decisively refused to divide the spoils: First, there was no such thing in these four relics. Second, after hearing Miaoyinzi telling the past story of Lanruo Temple, he knew that these four things were all left by "thieves". His father once told him that in the world, it is best not to touch the thief things in the world, because you can't tell who the owner of this thing is. If someone has a grudge against this thief and finally revenge the revenge on you, you can't explain it clearly.

Of course, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were not afraid of this. Not to mention that the four thieves have been dead for thirty years, and many of their enemies have died in Lanruo Temple. Even if there are any other victims who come to the door because of these relics, they are confident that they can deal with their shamelessness and sophistry.

So, in the end, Sun Huang and the others added five to each other, and divided the accounts in half. The recipes and counter tickets were given to Sun Yixie, and the secrets and boxes were taken by Huang Donglai.

The storm of gods and monsters on the Xihe River has come to an end.

The three young heroes embarked on their journey again and entered the continuous mountains between Xinyang and Wuchang...
