"What did you say?"
Sha LiFei was startled and stood up suddenly.
He naturally knows what "Ghost Opera Troupe" is.
Like them, this was also a team of wandering immortals, with a greater reputation and more masters. It caused quite a stir in the Xuanmen world at that time.
But unlike them, "Ghost Opera Troupe" has gone down the wrong path. As long as it is beneficial to himself, he will act without any bottom line, and he will eventually be wiped out.
One of them, "Ghost Painted Face", hid in Shu King Residence and was later killed by Li Yan, but he also learned a piece of news:
"Ghost Opera Troupe" has been secretly re-established.
Li Yan has warned you to be careful of these people.
Sha LiFei did not expect that this matter was also related to "Ghost Opera Troupe".
"It seems that you all know."
Seeing their appearance, Hou Xuan nodded and continued, "I am not Xuan Gate People. This name was mentioned by chance after drinking with Old Brother Lu."
"Thirty years ago, Guan County had a Yang Family Tycoon. His family was well off and he had quite a lot of land. However, this Master Yang got sick when he was young and had no children. He burned incense and prayed to Buddha, and sought famous doctors in vain."
"Later on, Water Release Festival, this Master Yang spent a lot of money to organize sacrifices to Manifest Saint True Lord, and his concubine became pregnant with a son as he wished."
"Master Yang was overjoyed to have this son. He held a banquet to celebrate the full moon and even invited a theater troupe. Who knew something would happen that night..."
"According to those who survived, strange things happened frequently on Yang Residence that day. Many people suddenly went crazy and attacked people randomly. Bandits also entered the city and burned, killed and looted..."
"That night, the Yang family's chickens and dogs were left alone, and the mansion was burned to the ground. Some people still say that it is haunted."
"This matter was a major case at the time, and the common people said it was done by bandits, but I was a gangster after all, and I heard some things. Later I learned about 'Ghost Opera Troupe' from Old Brother Lu."
"That's it..."
Sha LiFei thought for a moment and continued to ask, "It seems that brother and Old Brother Lu are quite familiar with each other?"
"It's okay. Old Brother Lu is a man of justice. If anything strange happens, I will always ask him for help."
"Then Old Brother Lu, are there any children around you?"
"No, Old Brother Lu is always alone. I wanted to introduce him to a wife so that at least there would be someone to take care of him, but he refused."
Speaking of this, Hou Xuan suddenly became happy and said, "Old Brother Lu, I am very fond of a little widow and often come to deliver mutton. But after many years, she is not willing..."
Hearing this, Sha LiFei still didn't understand what was going on and asked anxiously, "Where is that person?"
"Dead long ago."
"Dead?"
"Well, I'm too old, so it's considered a funeral. At that time, Old Brother Lu asked me to send my brothers to help carry the coffin."
"Does she have any heirs with her?"
"I have a son who is quite strong and doesn't talk much. After the widow died, I don't know where she went..."
"Brother Hou, can you take us to have a look."
"Of course."
Hou Xuan was a little surprised, but still happily agreed.
"This is the widow's old house."
Hou Xuan took a few people to avoid Yamen Runner's patrol on the street and arrived outside a small house in the west city.
I saw piles of rags and debris outside the courtyard, smoke from cooking stoves inside, and the sounds of adults scolding children. It was obvious that someone was living there.
Hou Xuan explained, "After the widow died, the house became empty, and Brother Lu sold it. At that time, I was still running for my help. Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Lu San shook his ears slightly, shook his head and said, "No, let's go and see the Yang family's abandoned house."
This place has changed hands over the years and no clues have been left.
"Okay, please come with me."
Hou Xuan didn't talk nonsense and took them to avoid the patrol and came to a remote river beach.
"Why was it built so far away?"
Sha LiFei looked around, a little surprised.
"Then the Yang family has been here for generations."
Hou Xuan explained, "There was originally a village and a dock here, plus the cultivated farmland, it is much more comfortable than in the city."
"But that's why something happened. I heard that after the Yang family's mansion was destroyed, weird things still happened frequently. People around them didn't dare to live there, so they moved away one after another, and the place was abandoned..."
He said, pointing forward, "Look, that's Yang Family Village over there."
After hearing the words, everyone looked up and saw a small ancient village standing tall with luxuriant grass. Most of the houses had collapsed, and the ruins were covered with snow.
"Wait a minute!"
Wang Dao Xuan on the side suddenly spoke, raised his hand to stop everyone, and said solemnly, "There are many footprints in the village. Someone has been here. Let's check first to see if there is any ambush."
Lu San understood, raised his hand and waved, and Falcon Li Dong behind him soared into the sky, hovering over the village and walking up and down.
"Don't worry, there is no one in the village." Lu San shook his head.
Then everyone felt relieved and drew their weapons and entered the village.
Sure enough, there were dense footprints on the ground, as if they had been stepped on during the heavy snowfall two days ago, and then a thin layer of snow covered them again.
"It seems they've already searched it."
Sha LiFei After observing the surroundings, he shook his head slightly.
"Ghost Painted Face" used to work for Shu King Residence, so it is not surprising that he knew what happened back then, and it was probably the other party who leaked it.
But the strange thing is that "Ghost Painted Face" died some time ago. Shu King Residence is just looking for it now. I don't know what happened...
Sha LiFei was a little confused, but he didn't want to think too much. He turned around and asked, "Where is the Yang family's old residence?"
"Right ahead."
Hou Xuan led everyone to a ruins.
"Wait."
Wang Dao Xuan frowned slightly, pushed aside the snow, and picked up some extinguished red candles and half-burned talismans.
"Someone did it here."
He raised his head and looked around, then took off the leather bag from his waist, grabbed a handful of incense ash, kneaded the incantation and recited a mantra, and then suddenly sprinkled it into the air.
In an instant, the incense ashes floated in the air, dancing in the wind, forming a vague trajectory and falling towards the ruins on the left.
This is also a form of divination.
Incense ash is a commonly used material for performing spells and is often used. Wang Dao Xuan uses it to divine the traces of the opponent's spells.
Everyone followed the trail of incense ash and came to the ruins.
But I saw a crater under a charred and rotten broken beam, and there were messy bones around it. It looked like many years had passed.
"What did they take?"
"Not sure."
When everyone was wondering, an eagle suddenly cried out in the sky.
"Be careful, there is a firearm, take cover quickly!"
Lu San quickly reminded, and at the same time dragged Wang Dao Xuan, jumped up, and hid behind a broken wall in the ruins.
Others also reacted quickly and hid one after another.
They are experienced and know what to do when faced with firearms.
Only Hou Xuan, who was just a local gangster after all, was still a little confused when he was caught by Wu Ba and hid behind a broken wall, "What's wrong..."
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise was heard.
I saw where they were just now, the ground exploded, mud and snow splashed everywhere, a deep pit instantly appeared, and smoke filled the air.
"It's New Style Firearm!"
Sha LiFei took one look, immediately made a judgment, and reminded loudly, "Noon position, three hundred steps, he is a warlock!"
Among the people in the world, they were among the first to come into contact with firearms, and they received targeted training very early on.
Not only fighting with firearms, but also defending.
Sha LiFei is rich in experience. He immediately judged the location and guessed that the other party was a warlock, which made it possible to get so close.
"San Er, how many people are there?"
Thinking of this, Sha LiFei asked quickly.
Lu San looked at the sky and said in a deep voice, "Two people came over and a dozen people were running down the opposite mountain."
"Get them first!"
Sha LiFei gave a low drink and took out two black pills from the pouch on his waist.
This is the Thunder Fire Pill, which is the Taiquan Orthodox Sect Enforcement Hall magic weapon. Once thrown out, there will be thunder and fire and thick smoke billowing.
It can be used as a flash bomb in the dark and as a smoker during the day. It is very useful. Every time I go to City God Temple, they will buy some.
Crackling!
Two Thunder Fire Pill were ignited and thrown out. Sparks suddenly flew out, and red and black smoke rose up, obscuring the surrounding sight.
"San Er, take cover!"
Sha LiFei shouted again in a low voice.
Lu San had a tacit understanding and directly made the secret and patted the gourd on his waist.
At that time, they were looking for Heavenly Spiritual Treasure near Chongqing Prefecture, and accidentally found a poisonous beehive, which they all fed to Demon Gourd.
Demon Gourd was originally exhausted from the poisonous bees and his vitality was severely damaged. After absorbing this treasure and maintaining it for a long time, it has improved to a higher level.
The newly born poisonous bee is small in size and completely black. Not only is it faster, but its venom is also more powerful.
Buzz!
There was a roar, and a stream of black smoke roared out from the gourd, swirled in the air, and flew into the distance from the other side.
"Ah--beware of poisonous insects!"
In the dense forest in the distance, screams suddenly sounded.
Sha LiFei also jumped out at the same time, lowered his body and ran quickly among the ruins, then jumped into the broken wall on the edge of the deserted village.
Click!
When he landed, he had replaced the magazine.
Sha LiFei was originally proficient in firearms and was considered a sharpshooter. After awakening Body Mystical Power, his five senses were sharpened and his marksmanship improved a lot.
He didn't even look, he just moved his ears slightly to determine the approximate location of the opponent, then stood up suddenly and pulled the trigger.
Boom!
There was a loud noise, and the snow in the snow forest fell.
While Sha LiFei was shooting, he had already jumped behind another broken wall.
Boom!
Someone shot at the opposite side at the same time.
The earthen wall he was hiding in exploded instantly and collapsed.
Sha LiFei sneered, stood up and pulled the trigger again.
Since he knew that the other party was a warlock, how could he not be prepared? The power of Divine Firearm is enough to penetrate the wall, and neither party has a second chance.
Boom!
There was a loud noise and there was no movement on the other side.
Sha LiFei knows that the person who shot the gun is dead.
After all, there are still poisonous bees nuisance. If you are alive, even if you can bear the excruciating pain, you will not be able to help but retreat.
Sure enough, when he came to the dense forest, he immediately saw two bodies lying under the broken branches.
A gunman, wearing a black robe and official boots, was shot in the chest, leaving a huge hole.
There was a Daoist priest next to him. His temple was cut open by shrapnel, and he was carrying a magic weapon in his hand. He was bitten by a poisonous bee and was already swollen and blue.
"Commandery Commandant Office person?"
Pulling off the token from the gunman's waist, Sha LiFei took a look and coldly snorted, "Sure enough, there are people who are obsessed with profit."
Commandery Commandant Office is under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor. With the current relationship between the imperial court and King of Shu, not to mention hands-on supervision, we cannot get too close.
The Qianhu who came from the capital had reminded them before that someone from the Duwei Division in the middle of Shu had taken refuge in the Prince of Shu's palace and they should not be trusted easily.
Unexpectedly, Divine Firearm came directly to help.
Without paying any attention to it, Sha LiFei hid behind a big tree, took out a Fire Caltrop from the backpack behind him, and whispered to Lu San who was also rushing towards him, "Count the time."
Lu San immediately whistled in the air.
Wow!
The hawk flapped its wings and chirped twice.
"Three breaths!"
"Okay!"
When Sha LiFei heard it, he took out a piece of match rope from his pocket, lengthened the Fire Caltrop fuse, and then lit it.
Falcon Li Dong also cooperated skillfully. He immediately grabbed Fire Caltrop and jumped into the sky. After flying to a high altitude in the distance, he dropped it directly.
As Sha LiFei expected, the person opposite was Shu King Residence.
"Be careful!"
"Spread out!"
They had Daoist masters and immediately realized something was wrong.
The dozen or so people who rushed down from the mountain quickly dispersed.
However, it's still a little late.
Boom!
When Fire Caltrop was about to hit the ground, it exploded.
This thing Sha LiFei has added ingredients, and the power of New-Style Gunpowder is extremely amazing, and the explosion is like thunder.
Accompanied by the rolling air waves, the snow and mud splashed everywhere, and the iron pieces and ceramic fragments inlaid on it fell like pear blossoms in a rainstorm.
Several people were unable to dodge and were directly blown to pieces, or fell to the ground with blood holes all over their bodies.
The remaining people, even if they were not injured, were blown away by the terrifying air wave generated by the explosion, and were in extremely embarrassed condition.
Buzz!
Before they could react, poisonous bees roared towards them.
"Run!"
The leader screamed loudly.
This man was wearing a Daoist robe, with a fleshy face and disheveled hair. He was the evil cultivator of the Loose Hair Sect who harmed Lu Lao Hei.
He made some moves in the village. He originally wanted to fish, but he kicked an iron plate. He was stunned by the repeated attacks and wanted to escape.
But he really underestimated Sha LiFei and others.
Under the cover of poisonous bees, Sha LiFei and Lu San quickly approached.
One of the two men held up the Guduo, the other held up the Divine Firearm. They did not mess around and only shot those who were holding muskets.
Boom! Boom!
There were two loud noises, and the two remaining gunmen had their heads smashed.
Whoosh!
A figure suddenly jumped out, but it was a master with a knife in both hands. His face was full of fear, and he was running through the woods, trying to escape.
But as soon as he took two steps, he heard the howling of the evil wind behind him.
Before he could react, his whole body was split in two by a huge axe, and blood splattered everywhere.
Boom, boom, boom!
With a huge roar, Wu Ba rushed out.
A bump on the shoulder sent one person flying.
He waved his fist and hit another person's head directly.
"Down!"
The Loose Hair Sect warlock was frightened. When he saw Wu Ba rushing towards him, he quickly made a seal, held the talisman and pointed at Wu Ba.
This is Bewitching Soul Spell, specially designed to deal with warriors.
However, before the operation was successful, he felt dizzy, his chest was filled with discomfort, and his body was swaying.
No, someone cast a spell!
The warlock was shocked, but he had no time to react as Wu Ba rushed over and slapped his head to pieces.
In the distance, Wang Dao Xuan was holding the date core taken out from Lu Lao Hei's body, stopped chanting the curse, and threw it aside.
Casting a spell on someone will also leave flaws.
Wang Dao Xuan put this thing away at that time just for this opportunity.
In a short time, everyone achieved victory.
Hou Xuan, who was hiding behind the broken wall, came out carefully, looked at Sha LiFei and the others, and swallowed.
Wang Tianzuo Before leaving, he told him that he must respect several people and serve them carefully.
Only then did he know the reason.
Is this Twelve Yuan Chen...
