Under the gaze of everyone, "One Yuan Patriarch" trembled with fear and almost wanted to leave first.
But after sensing the vicious gaze of Captain Ma next to him, "Master Yiyuan" knew that if he turned around and ran away, Captain Ma would definitely stab him in the back and put the blame on him. Anyway, no one here can make the dead speak.
There was no other way, he could only gamble and guess which senior expert couldn't stand his little trick and was playing a trick on him.
"Hey! Look at the sword!"
Patriarch Yiyuan didn't even dare to scold at the beginning. He just picked up the wooden sword he had put down and started dancing beside the altar. The wooden sword cut through the air, mobilizing some of the spiritual power in the air. It seemed that he was preparing for a big move.
Seeing this, Precia on the side lowered the volume of her illusion a little, and prepared to take a look at what the magic practice in this world was like.
A minute passed, and "One Yuan Patriarch" was still dancing there. The people below seemed to sense something was wrong. Why did this master not dare to provoke the newly appeared monster? Moreover, the newly appeared monster was just buzzing, and there was no other movement.
The whole thing is like a drama.
"No! We can't keep going like this! We're about to be exposed!"
"I have to think of a way. I have to choose the lesser of two evils. I have to pick the weaker persimmon. I'm sorry, Lao Ma! If you die, I will burn paper money for you!"
Fire Curse-Burn!
The magic power on the wooden sword began to flow rapidly, and with a bang, the blazing flames directly attached to the wooden sword.
"Master Yiyuan" held a wooden sword in his hand, his face pale, and swung it vigorously towards Captain Ma. A crescent-shaped sword energy made of substantial flames slashed towards Captain Ma, and then he jumped off the stage and ran in the opposite direction.
"Why did they suddenly quarrel among themselves?" Precia maintained the magic circle in the sky, with a lot of questions in her mind.
She had never seen such a development in her fifty years of life!
"How dare you!" Captain Ma quickly drew his sword and chopped off the flames. "I don't think you are a master at all! How dare you pretend to be a master and deceive me? You are simply courting death!"
At this moment, Captain Ma's acting is so real that the first impression people get is that he is the one being deceived.
In fact, Captain Ma himself is also confused now. He doesn't understand why the guy he has cooperated with several times suddenly turned against him. However, he knows that he must continue to act. If everything is exposed, he will definitely not be able to survive here. Those big customers who have been cheated will react and will definitely join forces to bury him.
At the same time, Captain Ma couldn't catch the swindler either. After several collaborations, he got to know the other party a little bit. Now it really came to the end, he could tell anything. But even if he left, you had to break the illusion for me!
"Master Yiyuan" doesn't bother to pay attention to Captain Ma. There is no hope for those who can't understand his expression!
But just as he was about to run out of the square, a force suddenly acted on his clothes and lifted him up.
Precia used the magician's hand to pick up the liar and threw him directly into the square.
When Captain Ma saw that he was forced to come back, he felt something was wrong and didn't dare to say anything harsh anymore. The scene was a little awkward for a moment.
Plop! "Master Yiyuan" knelt down, tears streaming down his face, "I don't know which senior is here, but the mastermind behind this is Ma Buliang, I was forced to do this!"
Captain Ma was shocked and slashed at the "One Yuan Patriarch" who was kneeling on the ground with his knife.
Arcane shock!
The impact force hit the knife, and under the influence of the huge force, the knife flew directly out of Captain Ma's hand and stuck into the mud next to it.
Plop! After losing his sword, Captain Ma reacted very quickly. He knelt down without saying a word and shouted at the air in front of him, "Senior, don't listen to this liar's lies! I was threatened by him! All the money is here, I didn't touch a penny!"
Captain Ma took out all the money he had defrauded from merchants and the public and placed it on the ground. Then he kowtowed on the ground along with "Yiyuan Zushi".
Pa pa pa, just like a symphony.
Both wolves exposed themselves. No matter how dumb the villagers were, they knew what had happened. However, out of fear for the senior who was nowhere to be found, they simply surrounded the two men.
Animated ropes!
Precia lightly pointed her hand, and two thick ropes placed on the roadside twisted around the two men like snakes, tying them up.
The scene was silent for a few seconds. The owner of the cloth shop looked around and thought that the situation couldn't remain like this. He took a deep breath, plucked up his courage, and walked out.
"My fellow villagers, the elders have tied up these two men so that we can send them to the authorities." The shopkeeper exuded the aura of a leader, "As for the money..."
The shopkeeper's eyes swept across the faces of the people below. Everyone knew what kind of person the local magistrate was. If they handed over the money and waited for it to be returned, it would be good if they could get half of it back.
"I will return the amulet now, one tael, and the merchant will consider it after the amulet is returned. How do you think?"
As the first person who dared to stand up and take responsibility, the shopkeeper had some prestige, and there was no problem with the distribution method, so naturally no one objected.
After dealing with the two scammers, Precia turned around and wanted to say something, but found that the widow behind her had hidden herself with her child early, perhaps because they were afraid that Precia would be discovered and implicated.
Looking around, the child stretched out his hand from behind the box next to him and waved vigorously at Precia who turned her head, and then was pulled back.
Precia smiled, put on the hat that had been prepared, picked up the package, and walked towards the town gate.
"Lao Luo, follow her." In the restaurant, Zhuge Wulong said to Precia as he watched her leave.
"Sir, are you sure it is really her? She doesn't look..." Luo Xiang bowed and wanted Zhuge Wulong to take back his decision.
"It's her. God has shown it, there can be no mistake." Zhuge Wulong interrupted his subordinate.
Luo Xiang became conflicted. If he left by himself, Zhuge Liang would have no guards. It would be very troublesome if the pursuers caught up with him!
Zhuge Wolongtou turned around and looked at Luo Xiang quietly. There was nothing he could do. An order was an order, and Luo Xiang had to accept it.
He leaped out of the window and moved quickly between the rooftops.
Xiahou, who had been watching the show in the tavern, suddenly looked up and said, "He's a master!"
After confirming this, Xiahou grabbed the sword on the table and followed after him.
Zhuge Wulong frowned, counted with his fingers, shook his head, supported the table and chair with his hands, and moved back a little.
With this movement, his legs were exposed. His leg bones were completely broken, and there were unrecognizable black patterns on the wounds. These were the result of the suffering he had endured in prison.
Luo Xiang, who moved first, soon discovered Xiahou behind him, because the other party had no intention of concealing himself at all. After estimating the distance between the two parties, he turned around and stopped.
"Iron Pen Luo Xiang?" Xiahou drew out his sword and walked forward step by step.
Glancing at the sword, Luo Xiang stood with his hands behind his back, "I'm not a swordsman."
"I know." Xiahou made a sword flower. "There is still one hidden swordsman left, Yan Chixia, so it's time to look for other masters."
"What bad luck, I ran into this sticky guy. If I don't deal with him, the adults will definitely be discovered!"
Luo Xiang thought about rushing directly towards Xiahou to seize the initiative!
"Hahaha! Good job!" Xiahou felt the blood in his body boiling.
Five meters away, two iron pens came out from Luo Xiang's sleeves, the Judge's Deadly Pen of Eighty-Eight Sixty-Four!
What we are pursuing is just one word: danger!
Xiahou brandished his sword, using his lightness skills to maintain a certain distance, and his sword moves were vigorous yet delicate.
All the shadows drawn by the pen tip in the air were blocked by the sword.
Unable to attack, Luo Xiang gathered his energy, used one iron pen to defend, and used the other to attack.
"That's it? This is the Judge's Pen? Change its name to the Devil's Pen!" Xiahou mocked madly. Luo Xiang was out of strength, and it was time for him to launch an attack.
Luo Xiang had a hard time saying it. Xiahou was indeed the second best swordsman in the world. He controlled the distance very well. Every time they fought, as long as Luo Xiang didn't change his moves, there would be only one consequence.
The judge's pen could indeed poke a hole in Xiahou's body, but Luo Xiang's hand might be chopped off.
In the distance, Precia was hiding in the woods, watching the fight behind them.
To be honest, she didn't want to get involved. Those who were following her were not good people!
But who made Luo Xiang have a green 400 on his head? If this man was killed by Xiahou, Precia didn't know when she would be able to tip the scales back to 1%.
"I'll take both of your hands!" Xiahou shouted, and the sword in his hand cut out a curtain of light in the air. With continuous moves, he directly cut off a judge's pen.
Luo Xiang remained calm and attacked directly with his other hand, "Leave my hand? Let's see if you have the ability to do it!"
Just when the battle was at its most intense, a fireball flew into the sight of the two from a distance.
In an instant, the two of them separated in tacit understanding and retreated more than ten meters at the same time.
The fireball exploded in the middle, stirring up cracked soil, raising dust, and fierce flames spread to both sides.
After using fireball to separate Luo Xiang and Xiahou, Precia turned and left. She had done what she should do. If Luo Xiang tried to die again, she would not have the time to help him. The worst that could happen was that she would kill or capture a few more red monsters and find a way to offset the impact.
"Who is it! Who dares to attack me by surprise!" Xiahou released several sword energies to protect himself while shouting loudly at the same time.
When the smoke dissipated, Xiahou discovered that not only the attacker, but even Luo Xiang was gone.
With a frown and holding the sword in reverse, Xiahou walked to the explosion point of the fireball, picked up the soil, and sniffed it gently. He smelled the familiar mental fluctuations that he had just smelled not long ago.
'The cloak-and-dagger monk in town? Why is he here? Is the iron pen chasing her? Why is she helping him?'
After thinking it over, Xiahou gave up the idea of looking for Luo Xiang. He wanted to be the best swordsman in the world or even the best warrior in the world, but he never wanted to be the best cultivator.
The community of monks was too complicated, and he didn't want to provoke them for no reason, as it would be too troublesome.
At this moment, Xiahou's ears moved, and the sound waves from the earth entered his ears very rhythmically.
"A thousand-mile soul-chasing?! Is there anyone in this town who is worth the risk of those hawks and dogs? Could it be the divine fortune teller? No wonder the iron pen suddenly appeared."
Xiahou slowly put the sword back into the scabbard and glanced in the direction of the town from a distance.
The divine fortune teller, the iron pen, the mysterious monk, the royal guards, the water is too complicated, it is best not to get involved!
Xiahou turned around and prepared to find a place to spend the night. He heard that there were robbers at Lanruo Temple, so he planned to go there tonight to spend the night and fill his pockets at the same time.
"The police are investigating the case! All the idlers, please stay away!"
The Jinyiwei roared and rode their horses into the town, completely ignoring the people on the street.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~ Several chess pieces flew through the air, and the heavy magic power transformed into giant tigers, mad lions and other ferocious beasts, pouncing on the Jinyiwei.
The leading Jinyiwei reined in his horse, stood up, and flew up from the horse's back with his hands open. A ferocious and sharp eagle appeared behind him and soared into the sky!
The sharp claws fell on the beast, passed through the shadow, grabbed the solid chess piece, and crushed it into powder.
A minute later, all the beasts disappeared. The leader of the Jinyiwei turned his head and looked into the distance. He could vaguely see someone running away over there. From their backs, it seemed like there were two people overlapping, one carrying another.
In an instant, the leader of the Jinyiwei thought of Zhuge Liang, whose legs were crippled, and Luo Xiang, who escaped with him.
"Still running! Chase me!"
After the Jinyi Guards rushed out again, Zhuge Wulong covered his mouth and coughed twice, then watched the pursuers leave in the inn.
"Is Lao Liu in trouble too? Even the Jinyiwei can't control him. Looks like we need to speed up!"
"Sir, I lost him." Luo Xiang rolled over and half-knelt in front of Zhuge Wulong.
"Nothing." Zhuge Wulong began to divine again, trying to find a piece of key information in the extremely chaotic destiny.
Soon, Zhuge Wulong saw a dilapidated abandoned temple with the three big words "Lanruo Temple" on it.
When he was thinking about going further, a black shadow flashed before Zhuge Wulong's eyes, the divination picture was shattered, and Zhuge Wulong spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Sir!" Luo Xiang stretched out his hand to support the staggering Zhuge Wulong.
"Go find information about a temple, Lanruo Temple!" Zhuge Wolong breathed weakly, "There is danger there, don't be impulsive when you find the place!"
"grown ups!"
“Go quickly!”
"Yes!" Luo Xiang wiped his face with his hand and changed his face to avoid being discovered by Xiahou who might come back.
After Luo Xiang left, Zhuge Liang leaned back in his chair, breathing heavily. The country's fortune was in tatters and it was on the verge of collapse. He had to find a way to turn things around.
I hope that this time the hint from Heaven won't betray him. He won't live for many days, and it's really unbearable to see this key figure keep changing.
A few days ago, the key figure was a scholar, and a few days later he turned into a foreigner. It was a pity that the foreigner's appearance was shrouded in fog and could not be seen clearly.
But there is some good news. At least the geographical locations shown for these two key figures are both Guobei County, so there is no need to run around.
