Chapter 213 Who is in favor and who is against?

Chapter 213 Who is in favor and who is against?

The smell of stinky tofu eggs filled the courtyard, as if a demonic fog had invaded.

Deyun Branch Temple had reached the most dangerous moment, and Wang Longqi had no choice but to shout loudly:

"Don't throw it away! I really haven't done anything bad to Lanzhi, it's...ah!"

It would have been better if he didn't shout. As soon as they heard his voice, the projectiles outside immediately found an anchor and fell like rain.

With a bang, a stinky tofu egg came over the wall and hit him in the face.

Wang Longqi, died.

Amid the gunfire, Li Chu opened the black brocade bag embroidered with gold that his master had mentioned, and inside was a small earring carved with golden petals, with exquisite workmanship.

"Take this earring and go to the Hongmen Hall in Shenluo City to find Xie Jinhua. She will come to help you."

Yu Qian'an said this.

Li Chu solemnly handed the earring to the fox girl, "I'll stay here and watch, you take this and go out to ask for help."

The fox girl took it and covered her nose, and advised: "Master, why don't we go together. The enemy's attack... is too pungent."

Li Chu shook his head and said resolutely: "The Deyun branch temple has just been built, how can I abandon it and run away."

"People are watching."

The fox girl didn't say anything else, but quickly took the token and turned into a fragrant breeze that swept out from behind.

It was also thanks to the good relationship I had established with Chao Tianque before, and that I had registered her and the little koi, that I dared to let her go out alone.

You know, when ordinary demon slaves of wealthy families go out, they must follow their masters. If they walk alone and are discovered as demons, they will definitely get into trouble.

Unless there is an independent demon book.

If other wild monsters with average cultivation wanted to apply for a monster registration, they would have to go through extremely strict review. Without sufficient background, they would not even think about it. Just like the donkey spirit in Hangzhou, he had to live in secret all his life in the city.

But before coming to Shenluo City, Li Chu tried to ask at Chaotianque. Duan Zhang was very kind and registered both the fox girl and the little koi, allowing them to walk freely in the streets and alleys of the Heluo Dynasty.

…

Just as Yu Qian'an expected, the siege happened so quickly and it was definitely not a coincidence.

Hundreds of people blocked the gate of Deyun Temple in a threatening manner. Some of them were strong and threw various objects inside, and more people were shouting and cursing outside.

This had already attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors, and many people asked what had happened. At this time, someone would promptly tell the story of the shameless rapist and the black-hearted Taoist priest, which would attract more curses.

At the very edge of the crowd, in a hidden street corner.

Du Weierdao from Nancheng Temple poked his head out.

Taoist Priest Wei smiled evilly and said, "How about it, Senior Brother, how about my plan? Even if that young Taoist priest has the ability to save this man, he can't escape the vast sea of ​​the people."

Taoist Priest Du nodded and said, "Indeed, unless he can really find the murdered girl, it will be difficult to appease the public resentment."

"Hehe, he's new here and his foundation is not stable. Now he has angered everyone. There is no other way except to get out of South City. Brother, you can rest assured from now on." Taoist Wei said.

Taoist Du touched his chin and said, "Junior brother, this move is indeed very clever, but... isn't it a little bit damaging?"

"Ahem." Taoist Priest Wei said awkwardly, "Brother, you have read the Taoist scriptures thoroughly. Haven't you heard that 'if a man is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm'?"

"Hmm..." Taoist Priest Du wanted to say something else when he suddenly heard a "touch" sound.

The earth seemed to tremble.

"What's that sound?" he asked hurriedly.

What followed was a continuous and rhythmic sound of "tong tong tong".

"It seems to be... footsteps?"

When Taoist Master Wei looked outside, he was stunned.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can see a scene like this.

Like a black ocean flowing into an ochre-colored container, countless men in black gathered from all directions around the Taoist temple in the south of the city.

They all wore the same black uniform, with black turbans on their heads and sharp blades bulging out of their backs.

Everyone has a bright red flying bird tattoo on their exposed wrist.

They all had expressionless faces and cold eyes.

The men, women, old and young who were attacking Deyun Temple unscrupulously were suddenly interrupted by the uniform footsteps. When they turned around, it was as if they saw a high wall of silence.

Looking around, he found that his several hundred men were completely surrounded.

Looking at the huge crowd, I really don't know how many men in black have come, at least more than 3,000! In an instant, the party with more people suddenly became the disadvantaged group.

Those who were cursing loudly no longer dared to say anything, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

"It's people from Hongmen..." someone muttered in a low voice in fear.

The men in black simply surrounded them without saying anything, and no one on the other side dared to ask any questions.

The situation came to a standstill for a while.

After a while, the black torrent opened up in the middle, creating a path. Eight burly men carried a tall black and gold sedan chair out of the path.

Sitting upright on the chariot was a woman wearing a long black tasseled skirt and a dark gold fur cloak. The woman had fair skin, high eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and wore half a pendant on her left ear. Although she was extremely beautiful, no one dared to look at her for too long.

When she appeared, all the young and old men of Lanzhi's family lowered their heads in fear, calling her "Sister Jinhua" repeatedly.

They carried it all the way to the front gate of the temple, and then the woman raised her hand to signal to stop.

Then he glanced at the people around him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Sister Jinhua..."

A pale-faced man emerged from the crowd and pointed at the gate of Deyun Temple.

"My daughter was swindled away by a rapist. Now she is missing, alive or dead. The Taoist priest in this temple took the dirty money and insisted that it was an evil spirit that committed the crime, and saved the rapist. My family is so angry that we came here to seek an explanation..."

"so."

The woman called Sister Jinhua leapt up and stood lightly on the ground.

When she landed on the ground, she gave people an even stronger sense of oppression. Because the man was not short, but Sister Jinhua was actually half a head taller than him.

She has a tall and slender figure, and a pair of inhumanly long legs.

The sharp eyes looked down like two knives.

"I'll go in first and find out what happened, then I'll give you an explanation." She turned around, "But... now, don't argue."

"Yes, yes, yes." The man nodded and bowed repeatedly, "We feel relieved that Sister Jinhua will be the one to preside over justice."

The woman didn't look back, but stretched out her long legs and pushed open the door of Deyun Temple.

"Friend Chen! Get out here!"

…

As soon as it became quiet outside, the fox girl had already quietly returned.

"Is it going well?" Li Chu asked.

The fox girl nodded slightly, then glanced outside, "It should go smoothly..."

"What?" Li Chu noticed the uncertainty in her tone.

The fox girl hesitated and said, "Because the Hongmen is not a sect, but a..."

"Hongmen is the largest underworld gang in Shenluo City." Yu Qian'an, who had been in touch with the team, said.

"The underworld?"

Li Chu looked at the old Taoist priest, and his admiration for his master deepened a little.

The nine states of the world, the black and white worlds...

"Every city has such gangs, but they vary in size. In an ancient city like Shenluo, the underground gangs there also have a long history and have even become the guardians of the rules."

"Hongmen has always been the underground leader of Shenluo City. Its heritage may have been more than a thousand years old, and its foundation is not inferior to some large immortal gates."

"The difference is that they are rooted in the market and have great prestige among ordinary people."

The old Taoist priest explained: "So the people who come in later may behave a little... rudely, don't be too surprised."

As he was speaking, he saw the door being pushed open with a bang.

A pair of long legs stepped in and closed the door behind him.

"Old bastard!"

The woman's compelling gaze swept across the temple, then locked onto the smoke-like figure in the hall.

She didn't come over, but raised her hand and took out a long and narrow machete from behind her cloak!

laugh--

She just shook her wrist, and a silver light flashed through the hall, passing through two walls in an instant, and then got nailed on the third and last wall of the courtyard, completely immersed in it.

The old Taoist priest's smoke trembled.

Cold sweat seemed to drip from his forehead.

If this person were here, it would be unimaginable...

But in just a moment, Yu Qian'an adjusted his state, showing a vicissitudes of life smile, and said in a magnetic voice:

"Long time no see, Jinhua."

Xie Jinhua walked over, glanced at the others, and then stared at Yu Qian'an. When she got closer, she whispered, "You bastard...how did you get so old?"

"Young men grow old in the martial arts world... Who can escape this day?" Yu Qian'an sighed leisurely, and then smiled suddenly: "But I am very fortunate that when I was the most unbridled in my life, I loved the most beautiful woman in the world."

Xie Jinhua snorted coldly, "Your smooth talk hasn't changed."

The old Taoist priest laughed and said, "I didn't say it was you."

"Hmm?" Xie Jinhua frowned and reached behind her back with her left hand.

Li Chu's eyes tightened, and he had no doubt that a second machete would fly out in the next second.

But Yu Qian'an changed the subject and said, "Seeing that you are doing well now, I can finally rest assured. Over the years, there has not been a single day that I have not thought about you."

"Humph." Xie Jinhua then withdrew her hand, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "If I'm not doing well, will you ask your apprentice to come to me for help?"

In the corner, Wang Longqi, who was knocked unconscious by the stinky tofu eggs, came to his senses at this time and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Taoist Master Yu seems to be dancing on the edge of a knife...

Is this the art of pulling? Yu Qian'an asked again, "Is Uncle Wendong okay?"

"My father..." Xie Jinhua shook her head, "He passed away two years ago."

"Alas..." Yu Qian'an sighed again, "An era has passed."

Xie Jinhua looked at him and said, "If one of you and Zhao Shanhe stayed, I would not be the successor of Hongmen."

"In fact, I often miss the days in Shenluo City." Yu Qian'an looked far away, "I have you and a group of brothers. I can do whatever I want... Everyone looks up to me..."

Xie Jinhua also recalled: "Back then, you two appeared in Shenluo City like fierce dragons crossing the river, forcing my father to recruit you as the hall master. Zhao Shanhe was invincible in the underground world, but he still said that your cultivation was far superior to his."

"I remember that the entire Hongmen was looking forward to seeing you take action, but unfortunately before we could wait... you left."

"I still don't understand why you left so suddenly."

Yu Qian'an was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually my name is not Chen Daoyou, my last name is Yu. Zhao Shanhe is not his real name either, his last name is Guo."

"We have our own destiny to do... Shenluo City can only be a memory for us... a beautiful dream."

"In the rushing wind and rain, the unrestrained awakening and drunkenness, all the stories seem to have happened in the wandering years..."

"But when you wake up from a dream, you have to return to reality."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jinhua also lowered her head for a long time.

When she raised her head again, her sharp gaze returned to its original state.

"I don't care what your reality is, I just know I don't want to talk to a puff of smoke anymore."

She looked at Li Chu: "Where is your master?"

Li Chu answered truthfully: "Yuhang Town, Shilipo."

Xie Jinhua looked at Yu Qian'an again and said, "As soon as things are settled here, I will come to find you."

After saying that, she turned around and left without any hesitation.

Watch her long, well-proportioned and powerful legs walk away slowly.

Yu Qian'an immediately showed his cowardly side and sighed: "It's over, it's over..."

"I'm dead now..."

He looked at Li Chu and said, "Disciple, you have to come back quickly, otherwise I... can't stand it.

Li Chu could only nod: "Disciple will do his best."

Yu Qian'an was still feeling uneasy.

Life is like this, you never know which will come first, the little sun or the ex-girlfriend...

Xie Jinhua swung her long legs and walked to Wang Longqi's side. She looked at him with disdain and said, "Go wash your face."

Wang Longqi did not have the aura of the old Taoist priest, so he did not dare to disobey and quickly ran over to wash it clean.

After coming back from washing, without waiting for anything to say, Xie Jinhua grabbed him by the back of the neck and lifted him out.

Wang Longqi tried to struggle, but found that he was completely powerless to resist, so he had to give up.

Like a cat with fate pinching the scruff of its neck.

Xie Jinhua dragged him out of the gate of the temple and came in front of Miss Lanzhi's relatives.

The crowd in front suddenly became violent and shouting and cursing sounded again.

But when Xie Jinhua turned her gaze away, the whole audience fell silent again.

After all, even if he wasn't afraid of her arrogance and her machete, he still had to give her thousands of subordinates some face...

"I have a general understanding of what happened today. You don't believe in the theory of evil spirits committing the crime, and you believe that it was this boy who killed your daughter."

Xie Jinhua looked up at the sign of Deyun Branch.

"But I believe in the people in this Taoist temple."

"I think you should believe me too."

"Everyone, for my sake, Xie Jinhua, why don't you give them some time to find out the truth? I, the entire Hongmen clan, will do my utmost to help. If it is finally discovered that this guy is the one who harmed your daughter, I, Xie Jinhua, will personally cut him into nine pieces!"

Wang Longqi asked weakly, "Isn't it eight pieces?"

Xie Jinhua glared at him and said, "The culprit should be cut off first and soaked in wine."

Wang Longqi quickly protected his crotch with his hands and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, the amount is not enough to make a cup of tea."

Xie Jinhua ignored him and raised her head again.

"But...if they rescue your daughter, or find out that the murderer is someone else, I hope...all of you can come here and apologize one by one."

"My suggestion..."

She looked around: "Who's in favor? Who's against?"

The men, women, old and young looked at each other and had no choice but to agree: "We trust what Sister Jinhua does."

"Yes, we believe in Sister Jinhua!"

…

Inside the gate.

Hearing the voice outside the door, Li Chu said: "Master, Jinhua... Auntie is really amazing."

"Of course she is powerful." Yu Qian'an had a heroic look on his face, "She can crush someone to death."

"No more."

"The master is going to start...exercising."

This chapter is already 4,000 words long, so the next chapter can be considered an extra chapter, but it may be late. (I recently rewatched Young and Dangerous on TikTok. True fans are in jail, and die-hard fans are in heaven.) 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
