56: The Roots of the Lei Family
In the northwest of Hangzhou, about ten miles away, there is a small branch of the Qiantang River flowing through here. Due to topographical reasons, this branch of the Qiantang River has come to this point, twisting and turning, forming a shallow lake. There is a dock fort in the middle of the lake, and the city is high and thick, and it stands majestically. In addition to residential buildings, there are also many shops. It is like an independent town with small sparrows, but it has all kinds of organs.
This is one of the eight great families of the rivers and lakes, where the main hall of the Lei family of Perak Hall is located. As everyone in the martial arts knows, this is an impregnable, easy to defend and difficult to attack fortress. Even if it is described as Longtan Tiger's Den, it is by no means excessive.
Within the main hall of Perak Hall, there are a total of five halls in the south, east, west, and north. Those who are familiar with the inside story of the Lei family know it. The hall in the middle is where the head of the Perak Hall live. The other four palaces represent the four branches of the Lei family. Only the long house of these four branches can be regarded as the descendants of the Lei family. The rest all belong to the Shu branch, and their status is naturally lower than that of the descendants.
In the deepest part of the hall in the middle of the main hall, there is a spacious secret room. At this moment, the thunder in the secret room shone brightly, and the arc jumped, and there were bursts of crackling sounds. And all these lightning arcs came from the two metal rods in the middle of the secret room.
The two metal rods were silvery-white in color and sunk deep beneath the floor. An old man, wearing only a pair of shorts with a calf's nose and a short body,* sat cross-legged. You can see it under the lights. Although his beard and hair are white, his muscles are tangled, as strong as a stone, and his strength is no less than that of a young man.
The old man's eyes were closed, and each hand was clenched on a metal rod. Unscrupulous, he directly attracted the current derived from the metal rod into the body.
The current derived from the metal rod is extremely strong, and the old man is tantamount to suffering electric shock torture when he does this. The tragedy is hard to describe. If it were an ordinary person, at most a few breaths, it would be turned into coke. But the old man had endured a whole stick of incense for a whole time, and he still seemed to be unharmed.
Suddenly, the old man's eyes widened and he screamed. The whole body is full of electricity, and the strong light is terrifying. The two metal rods couldn't bear it either, and dissolved on the spot.
The old man propped up his legs, jumped up in the air, swept through the air, and jumped out of more than a dozen steps, only then did he "knock~" hit the ground heavily, and there was still a trace of residual electricity lingering all over his body, not only did not damage at all, but gave people a feeling full of powerful power.
The old man moved his body and limbs, and seemed to be very satisfied with the results of his practice just now. Strode to the only entrance to the chamber. Next to the gate, a thick hemp rope hangs. The old man grabbed the hemp rope and pulled it three times, and then made three crisp clanging sounds.
"Rolling Rolling ~~"
Receiving the signal from the old man, the heavy iron gate immediately slowly rose upward. When he landed, the wind was windy, and the roar was deafening. It turned out that behind the gate, there was a giant bear, and when people stood up, they were more than two meters tall and weighed almost a thousand catties, which was a very rare beast.
The giant bear's eyes were red, and it seemed that he had been hungry for a long time, and his ferocity had been pushed to the peak. Suddenly, when he saw this old man appear, he couldn't help but speak, and immediately roared and pounced, wanting to eat him alive and sacrifice him to the hungry.
"Hmph~ Brute, it's good to come!"
The old man sneered, his body shook suddenly, and he turned into a phantom remnant, dragging a trace of blue arc to meet the giant bear. In an instant, the phantom collided head-on with the giant bear, but it passed through the giant bear as if it were chasing the wind. Such a strange body method is no longer under the spiral nine shadows of the Taiyin True Scripture.
Even though it is illusory, the afterimage is also composed of a strong electric current, which is not small. Although the giant bear had thick skin and thick flesh, it was also croaking and screaming with electricity, which was obviously not very comfortable.
The remnants of the current suddenly merged, reuniting into the true body of the white-haired old man. He hunched his knees and curled up into a large ball, which spun awkwardly on the floor. In an instant, it turned into a wall, which in turn surrounded the giant bear.
The giant bear roared and pounced wildly. But he couldn't even touch a single hair of the old man. Occasionally, they hit the wall that surrounded them, only to be electrocuted and bounced back. It hurt even more.
When it was too late, the rotation of the ball suddenly stopped, and the old man jumped into the air, hunched his waist and back, covered in electricity, and even the air burst out with a squeaky sound because of the friction of the current, obviously the luck had reached its peak, and it was even about to exceed the limit of what the body could bear.
Full of strength, no vomiting or unpleasant. The old man shouted, his body was divided again, and he pounced on the giant bear at the same time, encircling and suppressing it. He pointed like a sword, hurried, impartial, and just at the center of the giant bear's eyebrows, he focused on it.
In an instant, the giant bear's head exploded as if it had been hit by an anti-materiel rifle*. Burnt skin, broken bones, flesh and eyes, blood*...... Messy things, flying everywhere at the same time, south, south, north, west, and north, ruining the walls and floors around the secret room.
The old man stood up, looked at the corpse of the giant bear that collapsed on the floor, and couldn't help but feel satisfied, and laughed out loud.
The laughter continued, and suddenly, there was a dull vibration of "dong ~" faintly in the distance. It was as if the entire dock was shaking.
This dull vibration exploded three times in succession, and it finally subsided. Immediately afterwards, the sound of "rolling and rolling~" sounded, and it seemed that another iron gate was opened in the distance.
The old man snorted coldly, walked out of the secret room, walked along the corridor outside the door, passed through the other two iron gates, and entered a spacious hall. The hall has four corridors in the southeast, northwest and northwest.
At the same time that the old man walked out of the east passage, another old man also walked out of the west passage. The difference is that his hair and beard are not completely white, but only black and white. Each hand was tugging at something upside down.
When I got closer, I was surprised to find that they were actually two tiger tails. Behind the tail, there are two white-fronted tigers with hanging eyes. However, between the chest and abdomen of the two tigers, there is a smooth hole. The wound was charred black, and the musculoskeletal body had already been charred, as if it had been caused by a thunderbolt.
The old man with black and white hair dropped the tiger corpse, wiped his hands casually, and smiled at the white-haired old man: "How is it, second child." After practicing, or can you only deal with a bear? Tsk, it seems that your skills have not improved much. ”
This white-haired old man is none other than Lei Teng, the left protector of the Lei family, who cultivates the Lei family's secret mastery "lightning miracle skill". He sneered: "Third child, you don't have to be complacent. Look at your two tigers, skinny, almost like a cat. Such a weak brute, you can only kill two heads at a time?tsk~ It seems that your skills have not only not improved, but have greatly regressed. ”
Lei Zheng, the right protector of the Lei family, was furious, glared and shouted: "Second brother, are you not convinced? Come on, come on, we haven't fought for a long time." It's better to compete today. ”
Lei Teng was about to agree, when suddenly, a cough sounded in both of their ears at the same time. Immediately afterward, a very majestic voice came from the sky.
"Second and third, don't argue. Something big is happening. Come to me at once. ”
Lei Teng and Lei Zheng glanced at each other, immediately reined in the tense posture just now, stood straight, respectful, and said in unison: "Yes." Follow the instructions of the head of the house. ”
