Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 112 The Legacy of the Four Thieves

Thirty years ago, Tongchen used the illusion to kill the four thieves and a group of enemies who came to hunt and kill the four in Lanruo Temple.

People, although they are dead, but the things on them... are still there.

Those who seek revenge will naturally not bring any expensive items with them, but the four thieves are different, they all have a little personal wealth.

That "Glutton Thief" Han Li has the secret recipe handed down by the Taihe Gong that he got from somewhere.

Many people may not know this Taihe Gong, but I say you should know another person, that is, Zhuan Zhu, one of the four great assassins in "Historical Records: Biography of Assassins".

According to legend, in order to help Prince Ji Guang kill King Liao of Wu, Zhuan Zhu went to Taihu Lake to learn the skill of searing fish from Taihe Gong for three years. The famous "Sword Hidden in the Belly of a Fish" was staged in the mansion of the young master Ji Guang.

In short, at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Taihe Gong was unparalleled in the world in terms of cooking ability related to fish or aquatic products, and the recipes he left behind were indeed priceless for a foodie like Han Li .

Next, let's talk about the "Longyang Bandit" Zhu Meng; even though he is not the boss, among the four bandits, his martial arts is the highest.

Why does Zhu Meng have a handsome appearance, like a woman, and why does he speak in a soft voice?

Of course, he is GAY on the one hand, and another reason is because he practiced a kind of martial arts called "Passionate Jue", which caused some problems in his body's endocrine system, and the hormone ratio was out of balance.

Speaking of this "passionate art", in fact, it was not for men to practice kung fu. It was a martial arts method created by a chivalrous woman in the Jianghu many years ago, and only a woman's physique can adapt to it.

This chivalrous woman is also guilty of crimes, who would have thought that Zhu Meng would appear among her descendants...

But there is one thing to say, Zhu Meng also has his pitiful side; he also lost his parents when he was less than ten years old, and some unscrupulous relatives saw that he was the only child left in their family, so they took Zhu Meng's ancestral property and returned it to him. He sold the young Zhu Meng to Tangzi (another name for brothel) to be a little turtle slave.

This family secret book was brought out by Zhu Meng who secretly hid it on his body, and it was the only relic he kept from his parents.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhu Meng had read books for several years and knew a lot of characters, so he could basically understand the characters in the secret book.So, after a few years, Zhu Meng began to practice martial arts, but...some changes took place in his body and mind.

Because the house was full of women, Zhu Meng was brought up by these prostitutes, and he was influenced by his ears and eyes every day, and he practiced women's kung fu. In this way, day after day, he became a "Longyang Pirate".

In fact, if you really talk about it in detail, the "Passionate Jue" is definitely not 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, you are considered a man. It can also be practiced.

Take the Emei Nine Suns Kung Fu in "Yi Tian Shou Long Ji" as an example, it is derived from the part that Guo Xiang heard from the "Nine Suns Manual" when he was young when he was young; later when Guo Xiang established a school, her The attainment of martial arts has already been able to modify the part of martial arts at the level of Jiuyang Shengong into martial arts suitable for women's practice and pass it on.

However, Zhu Meng is naturally inferior to Guo Xiang...

Due to the premature death of his parents, no one told him from the very beginning that "Passionate Jue" is a martial art practiced by women, and Zhu Meng did not have an introductory martial arts master, so he learned everything by himself; The experience of entrapment made it difficult for him to build up trust in others, and it was impossible for him to ask others for advice.

Therefore, the result of Zhu Mengqiang's practice of "Sentimental Art" is that he has trained himself into a half-male state. He can't exert [-]% of the power of this martial arts, and he can use up to [-]-[-]% of the power of this martial art.

Of course... [-]% to [-]% is enough.

After all, this is superior martial arts, not to compare with those masters in the rivers and lakes, it is more than enough to compare with his other three brothers who are thieves.

When Zhu Meng became a successful husband and left the brothel, the first business he did was to wipe out the relatives who cheated him back then, and took away all his belongings; according to his thinking, this is called "taking back what belongs to me things", as for the extra part, it will be regarded as interest.

Afterwards, he started his career as a "Grass Picker" and met three other brothers one after another, and he kept his "Sentimental Art" close to him for so many years.

In the end, he also confessed to Lanruo Temple with him...

Next, it's time to talk about the "Zhuge Pirate" Lan Shuoli; the thing left by this brother is very interesting - the blueprint.

As mentioned earlier, Lan Shuoli likes "ingenious things" the most, such as traps, smoke and flying needles, etc. To put it more bluntly, this person is a magician.

And magicians have to play tricks when hiding things: Therefore, Lan Shuoli did not directly carry a "book" with him, but hid his lifelong research results, that is, those design drawings, in a In the metal box as big as a schoolbag, only someone who can figure out how to open the box... such as himself, can open it and check the contents.

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

This one is the one who loves the most money among the four thieves, and is also the one with the best lightness kung fu, but if you think that this person will leave some peerless lightness kung fu secrets, then you are wrong.

Li Yuan's lightness kung fu is actually very common, and he can learn it from any second- or third-rate school; this guy's lightness kung fu is so strong, it is really because of his talent, and he really doesn't need to learn any particularly brilliant lightness kung fu, because ordinary lightness kung fu is in the When he performs it, he is already "stepping on the left foot and stepping on the right foot to spiral up to the sky". If you let him learn stronger lightness kung fu, the actual performance will not improve much.

This is like, if you go to a key high school, you can barely get a score of around 620 in the college entrance examination, but he can get a score of 650 or more in an ordinary high school, so it doesn't make much sense for you to let him go to a key high school.

However, although he did not leave any martial arts behind, this "Flying Thief" still left something else - a "counter ticket" from Baichuan Bank.

This counter ticket is the certificate issued to you by the ancient cabinet workshop when you keep things for you. It is similar to the pawn ticket in the pawnshop, and its service form is similar to today's bank safe.

Baichuan Bank is one of the largest businesses in Dazhuo. It has been in operation for hundreds of years. In addition to the business of ordinary banks, it also has some functions of counters, so it is very likely that this counter ticket can still be redeemed today.

It's just that it's hard to say what exactly this "Flying Thief" kept on the cabinet, but judging from his character that regards money as his life, it is probably worth more than money and can preserve value. The possibility of antique calligraphy and painting very high.

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

Tong Chen didn't purposely keep the relics for the four thieves, it's just that these things are useless to the monsters, so he just put them there and didn't take them seriously.

No, many years later, Shuangxie and Lei Buji are cheaper.

Just when the three of them were about to share the spoils, Miao Yinzi came back. However, he was the only one who came back, and Xie Run didn't come in for a long time.

"Eh? Daoist, where's Brother Xie?" Huang Donglai asked, seeing that there seemed to be no one outside the house.

"I let him go first." Miao Yinzi said.

"Ah?" Sun Yixie raised his eyebrows and said, "How to get there? This is an island in the middle of a lake, where can he go? And the boat we came on has been destroyed."

"You don't have to worry about that. The boat that Pindao took when he landed on the island is still intact, and the boatman who brought you here is still on the island and is safe and sound. I have already told Master Xie the location of the boatman and the boat and asked them to leave first. .” Miao Yinzi replied.

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

"That's what you said...heh..." Miao Yinzi smiled, "With me here, are you afraid that you won't be able to leave?"

"Hmm..." Sun Yixie's small eyes rolled again, "That's true, then... Taoist priest, why don't you just blow our breath and blow us to Wuchang."

"Do you really think I'm a fairy? If I can cross your land hundreds of miles with one breath, will I be a day late?" Miao Yinzi asked back.

"Okay." Sun Yixie was right after thinking about it, and then said, "But I don't know, why did the Taoist priest let Brother Xie go first?"

"The direction he's going after crossing the river is different from yours, and he's carrying an ominous thing on his body, which will attract a lot of disasters; I saw that he's quite decent and has a bit of chivalry, so I pointed him out. Let him go first." Miao Yinzi continued, "Besides, he said before he left, let me say goodbye to you on his behalf, the world is far away, and when we meet again in the future, he will definitely repay you well."

"Oh, so that's the case." Sun Yixie nodded in response.

"Also..." Miao Yinzi didn't finish talking, "I do have something for you three to help, so I need you to stay for a while."

Then, Miao Yinzi told them all the relevant legends of Lanruo Temple, including the story of the ancestor who killed the corpse on the river earlier.

After listening to them, they realized that the paper figurine they met before was really "Yelu Baoqi". The principle of Tongchen's demon technique was to parasitize the innocent souls trapped here on the paper figurines, and let them do it for them. Serve yourself, because these paper figurines are conscious, so the actions of the "fakes" in the illusion will be more realistic and flexible.

What did Miao Yinzi want Shuangxie and Lei Buji to help with?

In fact, it's not a big deal, it's just that when he opened the altar, he needed a few "children" to guard the dharma.

Although this job can also be replaced by "summoned creatures", it will naturally be better if a real person takes over the job.

As for the reason why Miao Yinzi did this, everyone can probably guess that he wants to re-strengthen the seal under Lanruo Temple to prevent any accidents here after they leave.

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

By the next day, the sky was bright.

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

After they got up and looked around, they found that they were already sitting on an empty lot on the south bank of the Shi River, and their luggage and the relics of the four thieves they found were all neatly placed around them.

The three of them don't remember when they fell asleep at all, and they don't know how they got here. Everything that happened yesterday seemed to be a dream, but those horrible memories and the things they got reminded them that all of this is true. actually happened...

Sun Yixie wanted to quickly divide up the relics of the four thieves before going on the road. Unexpectedly, Lei Buji resolutely refused to divide the spoils: first, there was indeed nothing he really wanted among the four relics; After listening to Miao Yinzi tell the story of Lanruo Temple's past, he already knew that these four things were left by "thieves", and his father once told him that in the Jianghu, only the things of thieves are the most precious. It's best not to touch your hands, because you can't tell who the last owner of this thing is. In case someone has a grudge against this thief, and finally follows the thing to avenge you, you can't tell.

Of course, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai are not afraid of this, not to mention that the four thieves have been dead for 30 years, and many of their enemies have died in Lanruo Temple, even if there are really other sufferers who come to the door because of these relics Come on, they are confident that they can cope with their own shamelessness and sophistry.

So, in the end, Sun and Huang added two to one to make five, and split the bill in half. The recipe and counter ticket belonged to Sun Yixie, and Huang Donglai took the secret book and box.

This turmoil of gods and monsters on the Shihe River has come to an end.

The three young heroes embarked on the journey again, stepping into the continuous mountains between Xinyang and Wuchang...
