Volume 1: The Jianghu is the main thing, who is the guest? Chapter 33: Secret Treasure of the Money Gang
This Lengxiang Garden covers a vast area and contains many villas. Although the Qinglong Society intends to encircle and kill both forces, it will be difficult to occupy the entire place in a short period of time.
Li Muchan quickly moved his body, abandoning his half-baked zombie steps and running wildly. He was already thinking of countermeasures in his mind. At the same time, he moved around in the courtyards one by one, his eyes like ghost lights, constantly turning around, as if he was looking for something, and he kept muttering, "It shouldn't be wrong, it definitely can't be wrong, don't guess wrong!"
Before we knew it, the night had grown colder and sporadic snowflakes began to fall between the sky and the earth.
"Boy, no matter where you run, you will die in heaven or on earth."
Hearing the murderous words behind him, Li Muchan's heart skipped a beat, but his eyes suddenly lit up: "Fugui Bieyuan, it's you!"
He immediately hid in a very elegant courtyard.
The sounds of killing outside the window could still be heard even from a long distance away. When the night wind blew, it brought with it the fragrance of plum blossoms as well as a strong smell of blood.
Inside the villa, Li Muchan huddled in a dark corner under the window, with the "Plum Blossom Needle" in his hand and the glove called "Big Soul-Searching Hand" on.
This pair of gloves was originally a rare treasure bestowed by Shangguan Xiaoxian to the hall master. Unfortunately, that person had one hand broken, and Shangguan Xiaoxian borrowed this item for fear that he might not be able to perform well enough.
To be honest, no matter how powerful the "Ghost Secret Book" is, how deep can it reach in less than a hundred days?
Even though he dug up all the corpses and bones under the "Hundred Flowers Forest", he never dreamed of defeating these martial arts masters head-on.
The reason why the Fire Envoy died was that he underestimated the enemy at first and misjudged Li Muchan's methods. He risked his life to kill, so he would not be careless.
Li Muchan shrank quietly, his body already secretly tensed, like a bow with a string drawn, ready to be fired.
With the faint light coming in from the window, he kept an eye on the movements outside while his gaze inadvertently fell on the fingers of his left hand, especially the fingernails, which had turned black without him noticing, as dark as ink, making the fingers look extremely pale.
I think it was caused by the accumulation of evil spirits and corpse poison.
Li Muchan secretly sighed: "It is indeed a weird Kung Fu."
He felt that the light coughing and itchy lungs he had been experiencing recently might have been caused by this poisonous palm.
The last person who mastered this skill was called Bai Feifei, the mother of the flying swordsman, and she also seemed to have died of illness.
As he was thinking about this, there was a sudden sound of breaking air outside, followed by two light and vague footsteps, which stepped on the gravel and bluestone and landed outside the yard.
Li Muchan's eyes were calm, he lowered his eyes, his lips moved silently, and he was counting the steps of the two people getting closer and closer.
The voice of the man in white rang out: "That person must have hidden himself. There are still people from the Azure Dragon Society outside. He will not be able to get far."
The Taoist said, "Never mind. Let's split up and look for him. If we really want to keep such a scheming person alive, we have to be on our guard day and night."
Soon, the noise seemed to fade away.
But Li Muchan still did not move, as if he was asleep, but his half-closed eyes were already raised, looking quietly towards the roof, as if he could see through the tiles the two people lying quietly on the roof.
The villa is called "Fugui Villa".
It's old-fashioned and tacky, but that doesn't stop many people in the world from liking this name.
As if no one had lived in the house for a long time, there was a thin layer of light dust in the house.
"Gah!"
Suddenly, the roof tiles cracked.
Immediately afterwards, a black shadow swooped down from the sky, bringing with it dozens of pieces of shattered debris and a cloud of dust.
But what Li Muchan was paying attention to was the person who flew in from the window.
One was on top, and the other was on the bottom. The two seemed to have guessed that he was hiding in this villa.
Li Muchan thought to himself that he was careless, thinking that it must be because he had brought sand to the soles of his boots while running, leaving traces along the way.
The one who rushed in from the window was the Taoist priest. He was extremely cautious. He first knocked the window open with a stone before rushing in.
Just as the man passed by the window, Li Muchan opened his mouth and said, "Ah!"
A sharp, shrill scream, like the howling of a ghost, exploded beside him.
The Taoist's movements were light and nimble, and he was extremely graceful, but when he heard a voice suddenly beside him, he was startled and almost lost his soul. With a strange cry, a jade flute flew out of his sleeve like lightning, and he poked and hit Li Muchan following the sound.
The man in white who was pouncing down, upon hearing the sound, pushed himself up with one foot and flew forward like a fish leaping into the air.
It was indeed a stab. The man held a three-foot-long sword in his hand. The sword was shining with a strong green light and had a strong sword energy. There was also a green light flowing on the tip of the sword, like a pool of clear water, pressing in and coming at people with great force.
The horrifying murderous intent had caused the hairs on the back of Li Muchan's hands to stand up.
But he didn't attack, he just defended.
In the dim light, Li Muchan used the gloves to repeatedly block the attacks of Yu Xiao in front of him.
This person used the flute as a staff and used it to find and punch acupuncture points.
Then he flew backwards, as if he had been seriously injured, and a mouthful of hot blood spurted out of his mouth.
But just when he was hit, the sword light that was originally stabbing towards Li Muchan suddenly turned sharply, and the tip of the sword trembled violently, and actually turned towards the Taoist priest.
"snort!"
The Taoist seemed to be prepared. He flicked his sleeves and several hidden weapons like cold stars flew out from his sleeves.
The man in white held the long sword horizontally, swung the sword in a flash, and attacked quickly and fiercely. Two "ding ding" sounds were heard, and the sword light disappeared in a flash. Four blue-black iron lotus seeds appeared on the sword.
"I never thought that Donghai Yuxiao would join the Demon Cult." The man in white swung his sword and knocked all the hidden weapons into the wooden pillar beside him. Then he said coldly, "Hand over the 'Big Star-Picking Hand'."
The Taoist sneered: "The swordsman in white, Lu Di!"
Li Muchan was lying on the ground, and was slightly startled when he heard these two names.
This is because the origins of these two people are unusual.
The former, Donghai Yuxiao, is the "Yuxiao Taoist", who was ranked tenth in the "Weapon List" by Bai Xiaosheng in the past; and the latter, Lu Di, is the nephew of Lu Fengxian, the "Silver Halberd Wenhou" who was ranked fifth in the "Weapon List", and is also a leader among the rising stars in the world today, known as the "White-Clothed Swordsman".
"Very good." Lu Di glanced at Li Muchan who was lying motionless on the ground, then turned to look at Yu Xiao, "You have given me another reason to kill you."
Taoist Yuxiao also had murderous intent in his eyes: "Just you? Humph, your uncle is a coward, and you are not much better. In the past, Lu Fengxian was defeated by Shangguan Jinhong, and now you are working for Shangguan Jinhong's daughter. It's a joke."
Seeing that the two were on the verge of a fight, Lu Di suddenly pointed at Li Muchan and said, "Kill this man first before you do anything."
Taoist Yuxiao nodded and said, "I have the same idea."
Unexpectedly, Li Muchan suddenly spoke weakly: "I have something else to say."
Lu Di seemed to have lost his patience and was about to step forward with his sword in hand, but Li Muchan quickly said, "Don't you want to know the whereabouts of the Money Gang's secret treasure?"
Lu Di looked cold: "I want to know, but I don't believe you know."
He was about to strike, but Taoist Yuxiao stopped him, holding his flute to block the sword, and said in a deep voice: "You still have time to say a few words, let's see what tricks he can come up with. If he dares to talk nonsense, I will let you taste the pain of having your tendons and bones broken before you die."
Li Muchan struggled to stand on the ground, leaning against the wall: "These past few days I have been wondering where the secret treasure of the Money Gang would be. Haha, I didn't expect it to be right under my nose."
Taoist Yuxiao narrowed his eyes behind his mask and asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Muchan asked, "Why did Xiaoxian Shangguan hide in Lengxiang Garden as soon as she arrived in Chang'an?"
Lu Di said coldly: "Because she has already set up an ambush here."
They also saw the ambushes just now.
"That's right," Li Muchan nodded, "I just thought of it earlier. People all over the world are looking for the treasure of the 'Money Gang', but who would have thought it was right under their feet? Besides, people come and go in Lengxiang Garden every day to enjoy the scenery flowers. Who would think this place is a treasure trove?"
Lu Di's eyes lit up: "So the most dangerous place is the safest."
Taoist Yuxiao couldn't help but ask: " Where ?"
"It's right here." Li Muchan said softly, "I noticed when I was running away just now that there are many courtyards here, but perhaps because they are hiding ambushes, there is very little dust. Some are even very clean. But this place is the only one with a lot of dust. It's not even used to hide soldiers. There must be something unusual about it."
As he spoke, he was already looking straight at the wooden pillar that was pierced with several hidden weapons.
"Didn't you notice that the sound of the hidden weapon hitting the pillar just now was a little strange?"
Before he could finish, Lu Di walked a few steps to the pillar, raised his sword and slashed at the pillar.
The sword blade slashed diagonally, and an astonishing scene happened.
But under the faint light, the cut actually glowed golden...
