Chapter 480: The Rolling Pin Sweeping All Directions
Chapter 480: The Rolling Pin Sweeping All Directions
Before the people in the secret passage could react to what the hell this thing was.
The dark little head suddenly grinned, and the glowing eyes and leaking teeth were particularly conspicuous.
In this eerie secret passage, everyone in the passage felt their hair stand on end when they saw the ghost thing suddenly pop up above their heads, and a chill instantly ran down their spines to their heads.
Xiaojiu grinned and greeted the people below sinisterly, "Hehe, I caught you."
She had completely forgotten whether the fire just now might have been caused by the firecrackers she accidentally threw in.
At this moment, her mind was filled with what Jingxin and the others had said, that this group of men in black wanted to burn her to death.
How could this be possible? She still had so much money in her storage bag that she hadn't spent. How dare they burn her to death?
Xiaojiu cheered and jumped directly in from the floor that had just been cleared.
"I heard that you wanted to set me on fire and assassinate me. Haha, you are so brave. Why don't you go out and find out the name of Mr. Ben Biao?"
Looking at the half-human, half-ghost thing jumping down from the ground, Prince Rui immediately shouted, "Stop him!"
Several guards quickly drew their swords and rushed forward.
Seeing the cold light coming towards him, Xiaojiu somersaulted flexibly in the air, and kicked their wrists accurately with his short legs twice.
"Ah!" a scream rang out.
The guard who was kicked in the wrist immediately felt the bones in his wrist broken, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Xiaojiu glanced with disdain at those newbies who couldn't even hold a knife steadily, clapped his hands, and took out a spatula from behind.
He pointed at Prince Rui and his group with an angry look on his face.
"If you dare to blow me up, today is your day of death!"
She looked down at herself, all dark and miserable. The more she looked, the angrier she became, until she was about to explode with rage.
"I've never been this dark in my life!"
After saying that, he picked up the spatula and rushed towards Prince Rui and his entourage.
Prince Rui only now saw clearly that this was just a child pretending to be a ghost, and judging by the child's fighting ability, it was very likely the legendary Princess Changle.
Although I don't understand what she just meant by burning her and assassinating her.
But thinking that this person might be Princess Changle, he immediately became extremely alert.
Immediately, his face turned pale and he said, "Everyone listen up, no matter what, capture her for me!"
The guards who heard Prince Rui's order in the secret passage rushed towards Xiaojiu at the same time.
Xiaojiu threw the shabby spatula in his hand away with disgust, then calmly took out his rolling pin and rushed into the crowd like a gust of wind.
The fighting style is so brutal. He hits one if he gets close to them. If he gets close to a group, he sweeps the group.
There is no such thing as any structure or technique.
The main feature is fast hand speed.
There wasn't a trace of sympathy in his eyes, only anger at these people for blowing him up.
Prince Rui was stunned and his calves were trembling.
Until this moment, he truly felt the strength of Princess Changle, who was said to be able to defeat thousands of troops alone.
Before, he just thought that the rumors were exaggerated. How could anyone be so powerful, let alone a child?
Now I see it with my own eyes.
This princess can no longer be described as powerful; she is simply a monster.
All of these guards, who had been carefully selected through layers of screening, were highly skilled in martial arts, but they were unable to withstand even a single blow from Princess Changle's rolling pin.
He looked at the guards who were hit on the head by rolling pins one by one, and there was only one thought in his mind, which was to run away and leave here as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he turned and ran.
But before I had taken two steps, I felt my collar tighten at the back.
Xiaojiu has grabbed his collar!
"Let me go!" he roared while struggling.
How could the angry Xiaojiu listen to him? She exerted force with her little hands and dragged the man out of the secret passage.
Then he pushed the person to the ground.
Prince Rui's face was pressed against the cold ground, his luxurious brocade robe was covered in dust, and his eyes were full of anger and humiliation.
Xiaojiu looked at his own black and dirty clothes, and then looked at the man who was wearing clean clothes.
Even more angry.
Just raise your fist and beat him.
Prince Rui struggled desperately, but found that his martial arts, which he was so proud of, could not even break free from the hands of a little girl.
He was so angry that his face turned red, "How dare you! I am a member of the royal family, how dare you hit me?!"
"I don't care who you are, how dare you set fire to me? Even if the king of heaven comes, I will crush you to death!"
After hearing this, Prince Rui finally cleared his mind for a moment, "When did I set you on fire?"
"You didn't set the fire, why are you running? You must be feeling guilty!"
Prince Rui felt that he had died unjustly. If he remembered correctly, he had asked the abbot to invite the person over and also asked his men to assist the abbot.
But he really didn't have anyone blow her up.
"I am running because you are chasing me. If you don't chase me, will I run?"
"Would I chase you if you didn't run? It was obviously you who ran first, so I chased you! I'm telling you, don't try to quibble!"
If it wasn't for waiting for others to arrive and let them see with their own eyes who the arsonist was, Xiaojiu would have pounded the person into the ground by now.
In order to make it easier for him to recognize me later, I deliberately didn't greet him in the face.
Instead, he punched him one by one.
In the end, Prince Rui was beaten so hard by Xiaojiu's fists that he screamed in pain, completely losing the etiquette that a royal family member should have.
He is now lying on the ground crying like a 200-pound child.
Seeing that the man could not escape, Xiaojiu clapped his hands, jumped off his back, holding a rolling pin, and pointed at Prince Rui on the ground.
He looked proud at the group of people who had finally arrived, "I've caught the arsonist! Here he is!"
The Taoists who rushed over were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
"This, is this Prince Rui?" After the old Taoist priest carefully identified the person lying on the ground, his tone became stammering.
Xiao Jiu thought about what the man had just said and shook his head, "I don't know, but this man said he is a relative of the royal family!"
Taoists: "…"
Knowing that he is a member of the royal family, still you dare to beat him like this?
Prince Rui, who was lying on the ground, endured the pain in his body and was filled with grief and indignation. "How dare you! You know who I am, yet you still dare to beat me...you..."
Before he could finish his words, he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He is a prince, but today he was humiliated in front of so many people.
"You are the one who set fire to our village chief?"
Xing'er and the others didn't care at all about whether he was a prince or not. Their village chief was the empress.
If you offend the empress, your entire nine clans will be exterminated.
It's just that their village chief is generous and not interested in other people's nine clans.
Otherwise, they would have to bring out all nine clans of his family and whip their corpses.
"Village leader, this person dares to set you on fire and assassinate you today, and tomorrow he will dare to occupy your territory, steal your money, and abuse your people!"
Adou's words frightened Xiaojiu so much that he couldn't hold the rolling pin steadily.Chapter 481: You, the master of the temple, want to tie yourself up for meditation?
Chapter 481: You, the master of the temple, want to tie yourself up for meditation?
The whole person was shaking with anger, "You...you blew me up, and you want to steal my territory and money, and people?!"
I can't stand it anymore!
She snatched the big knife from Xing'er's hand and was about to chop her in the waist.
With her strength, if she chopped it down with this knife, the upper and lower body of the so-called Prince Rui would be gone.
"Wait a minute!" The old Taoist priest, who had finally come to his senses, spoke quickly.
If Prince Rui died in their Qingtai Temple, then their Qingtai Temple would be finished.
"My dear donor, this arson case is of great importance, and it happened in our Qingtai Temple. If you rashly take action in the Taoist temple, it will not only break the rules, but also bring disaster to the Taoist temple."
The old Taoist priest's tone was full of pleading. "Moreover, the arson today also involves the abbot of our Taoist temple. If you trust me, let us investigate this matter with all our strength. Our Qingtai Temple's reputation for many years cannot be tarnished. We will definitely catch the real culprit and give you all a satisfactory explanation at that time."
"No, I can handle my own things and won't bother you! Besides, your abbot just locked up Jingxin and the others. I don't believe you. Who knows if you are in the same group?" Xiaojiu just heard with her own ears what Jingxin and the others said, that the abbot was a bad guy.
The old Taoist priest also remembered what they had said before about the abbot locking them up, and his tone softened, "Just now I heard that you came to the Taoist temple to look for your uncle, but the abbot said that he is not your uncle. I guess there must be a misunderstanding. May I ask what is the name of your uncle?"
Jingxin curled his lips, he wanted to see how these Taoists pretended.
"I don't know his name or appearance, I only know he is from Dongxia Country."
The old Taoist priest was stunned. "You said your uncle came from Dongxia Country?"
"yes!"
"But the abbot has lived in Northern Yan since he was a child and has never been to Dongxia. Did the donors recognize the wrong person?"
"Then he is not my uncle, why should he care about us?" Jingxin frowned, looking disbelieving.
The old Taoist priest was also puzzled when he heard this. If there was no grudge between them, why would the abbot lock up these people?
He looked at Prince Rui, who was lying on the ground, his life or death unknown. He suddenly stopped stroking his beard and asked, "I dare to ask, have you ever had any grudges with Prince Rui before?"
"How can you talk like that, old Taoist priest? When we are out in the martial world, the most common thing we do is to help others and punish evildoers. People say that we are living Bodhisattvas who save people from suffering. How could we, who are so kind, make enemies with others?"
The Taoist priests around all twitched their lips when they saw the group of guards who were beaten into mosaics in the secret passage, as well as Prince Rui and the dean who were lying on the ground, their lives unknown.
Especially Prince Rui, who was lying on the ground in great pain but still had a clear mind.
He clearly remembered that the news brought back by the men he sent to Dongxia was -
This princess is a martial arts expert and a military genius.
But he is a kind-hearted person who loves his people like his own children. He enjoys high prestige among the people and is a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering.
Moreover, he is a kind-hearted person who is reluctant to kill even a chicken and always avoids cats and dogs when he sees them.
Where the hell did you hear this nonsense from?
Look at this group of people, which one of them can be called a living Bodhisattva or a great good person?
They are all a bunch of shameless demons.
The old Taoist priest looked at the current stalemate and was afraid that Jingxin and his group would kill Prince Rui at Qingtai Temple.
He quickly whispered to another older Taoist priest, "Do you remember who in our Taoist temple is from Dongxia Country?"
The elderly Taoist priest thought for a while in his mind, "From Dongxia Country..." His cloudy eyes suddenly widened.
Past memories suddenly flashed through his mind like lightning. He remembered that a long time ago, when the abbot had not yet become the abbot but was still the dean, the other party talked about the homeland of Dongxia Kingdom.
He quickly said to Xiaojiu and his group, "The abbot seems to be from Dongxia Country, but he is in seclusion right now. Can you wait for him to come out in three days and ask him about this matter?"
Viewer?
Jingxin widened her eyes. Is this uncle-master doing so well?
This place looks much richer than Qingshan Temple.
Jingxin turned her gaze to the village chief and asked for her opinion.
After all, killing people in the Taoist temple before the matter is clarified will indeed bring trouble to the temple.
Xiaojiu's mental power quietly wandered into the Taoist temple.
What you hear is not as good as what you see.
She wanted to see whether the abbot was really practicing in seclusion or hiding away to deceive others.
The mental power stopped in a house and looked at the person tied to a stone pillar with iron chains.
She looked surprised and asked, "Do you have to tie yourself up when you practice in seclusion here?"
"What...what do you mean?" The old Taoist priest was stunned when he heard this, not understanding what the young donor meant.
Xiao Jiu pointed to the room where the master was and repeated, "Your master is in seclusion...does he want to tie himself up?"
The old Taoist priest looked at the temple master's yard and then explained: "The temple master does not practice in the house. He always practices in the cave in the back mountain. That is where the temple masters of all generations practiced. No one except the temple master can go in."
"Who is the person tied to the stone pillar?"
"Are you saying that there is someone in the master's house?" The old Taoist priest looked at the direction where Xiaojiu pointed, which was exactly the master's yard, with a look of disbelief on his face. He looked around and it was clear that all the disciples in the temple were there.
The elder Taoist priest thought of something, his face suddenly changed, and his eyes shot towards the abbot like knives, "If I remember correctly, the news of the abbot's retreat was released by the abbot."
Upon hearing this, all the Taoists were shocked and clenched their fists. They all thought of a possibility: what if the abbot lied to them and the temple master was not in meditation? All this was false news released by the abbot just to confuse them.
"Not good!" the old Taoist priest shouted, "Hurry up and check inside the temple's main room!"
Everyone hurriedly ran towards the temple master's courtyard. The closer they got, the faster their hearts beat.
The courtyard gate was locked and the windows were covered tightly with thick curtains, not a single light could come in.
A Taoist priest kicked the door open and found a secret room in the direction of Xiaojiu's finger.
I know where the door is, but I can't find the mechanism.
Xiaojiu blew on his fist and then kicked it down.
"boom!"
The stone door shattered and dust flew everywhere.
With the faint light, everyone could see the scene in the secret room clearly.
The temple master was locked to a stone pillar with a thick iron chain, a cloth ball stuffed in his mouth, his white hair was disheveled, his Taoist robe was torn, and his exposed wrists were covered with bruises.
Hearing the noise, he raised his head with difficulty, and when he saw everyone, a glimmer of hope suddenly lit up in his cloudy eyes.
"Master?!" the Taoists cried out in shock.
The old Taoist priest was the first to rush forward, untying the chains with trembling hands, "Master! How could you..."
The temple master coughed weakly a few times and said hoarsely, "Quick...quickly go down the mountain, cough cough cough, there is an epidemic in the city... cough cough cough...quickly go save people!"
