Chapter Thirty-Six: Murder Behind Closed Doors

Xiao Rui took the fragment in his hand and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't see any difference, after all, he still didn't know anything about forging. But Xiao Rui knew that since Xia Keming picked out this fragment, there must be a problem, but he didn't know it. Raising his hand to return the fragment to Xia Keming, Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Let Brother Xia laugh, I really can't see it below, and ask Brother Xia to give an explicit indication." Xia Keming took the fragment and was about to speak, when suddenly the crowd outside the door fell silent, and then they all quickly dodged away. Then two people walked in through the door, one of them was the young man who had just run out, and the other looked exactly like the horse-faced shopkeeper. is also a round figure, a horse face, looks fatter than the horse shopkeeper's, and the face is longer. It's just that he's older.

As soon as the man came in, he waved his hand and told the guys: "Flop, close the door, no business today." The men seemed to be more afraid of him than the shopkeeper, and immediately took action, first dispersed the crowd of onlookers at the door, turned over a sign on the door frame, revealing the words "Inventory today, temporarily closed", and then closed the door with all hands and feet, and the door was closed, and the store immediately looked dark.

Xiao Rui has been on guard since this person came in, and now seeing that he didn't ask the reason for the matter, he locked himself and Xia Keming in the store, it seemed that he didn't plan to let the two of them leave, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, but he didn't make a fuss, but waited quietly to see how they treated him. And Xia Keming seemed to have expected things to change, so he didn't panic, he was still smiling, and he quietly watched the guys close the door and lock it, and waited until the guys were all busy, and then said with a smile: "Hehe, I didn't expect it, they all said that they beat the small one, and the old one came out, and the small one hasn't been beaten yet, and the old one will come out! You guys are too composed, isn't it because of a weak heart!"

Ma Jingshan's shopkeeper stepped forward and saluted the man and said, "Father, these are the two of them." Then he pointed to Xia Keming, "He said his surname is Xia." The old horse just waved his hand, but his eyes were staring at the fragment in Xia Keming's hand, looked at it for a while, and said to Xia Keming: "Young man, where did you come from? When he spoke, he had a smile on his face, as if his uncle was coaxing his little sister. I couldn't see the majesty and gloom of the first time I came in.

Xia Keming also smiled: "Hehe, since the shopkeeper knows my surname Xia, don't you know where I came from? You also saw the things in my hand, do you still think you can escape this time?" The old horse smiled: "It's okay, if you tell who instructed you, I will let you go together." Then he turned his head and asked Xiao Rui: "I don't know where this friend came from?" Xiao Rui replied: "I was just passing by, and I heard that you have a forging furnace for sale, so I came in and had a look." Lao Ma looked Xiao Rui up and down a few more times, and then said to Xia Keming: "Regardless of him, or you, do you say it or not." There was anger in his tone, and he didn't seem to take Xiao Rui seriously anymore. Because he saw that Xiao Rui was not very old, he was wearing ordinary clothes, and his accent did not look like a local, so he already classified Xiao Rui as a casual category in his heart.

Xiao Rui is not angry, and it is not once or twice that he is looked down upon, and he can just wait and see what happens if he is not taken seriously. Xia Keming naturally heard what the old horse meant, turned his head to Xiao Rui and said, "Brother Xiao, I'm sorry to bother you, but don't worry, I will definitely guarantee your safety." The old horse said, "You should leave him alone, but take care of yourself first, take the things in your hand first, and then tell me who sent you." Xia Keming said: "No one sent me, and no one can send me." Since you are not willing to let this friend go, then I have no need to cover it up for you. As he spoke, he handed the fragment to Xiao Rui and said, "Do you know what's in the middle of this fragment? There is a thing here, which contains a trace of the divine consciousness released by them, no matter who buys this forging furnace, as long as they use it to forge things, they will be recorded by this divine consciousness, and then the person who releases the divine consciousness will pass these records back to their minds through secret methods, so that they can learn some high-level forging methods." Think about it, if you can afford such a forging furnace, which one is not a master-level forging master, there will naturally be some secret methods that are not passed on. But they use this means to peek at other people's forging techniques. My brother bought such a stove and they stole it to learn the secret method. However, his teacher thought that my brother had passed it on privately, so he cut off his hands, and he could never forge again. Later, my brother brought the stove home, and one time I accidentally said that the stove had divine sense. We've just discovered the secret. Now, I'm going to do justice for my brother and the masters you have stolen from the blacksmiths. At this time, Xia Keming's eyes were already red, his face was hideous, and he could no longer see the slightest trace of his smiling face.

Xiao Rui was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that in this world, anything could really happen, and there was even such a thing. can't help but feel contempt for the Ma family father and son, there was anger in his heart, and now he is also angry, ready to punish the Ma family father and son. Unexpectedly, after listening to Xia Keming, the old horse actually burst into laughter: "Hahaha, I thought it was a force that found me, but I didn't expect it to be Xia Laosan's younger brother." But do you think you can still run out? Since you two know this secret, then don't leave any of you today, make me ashes, hahaha!" As he spoke, the fat body suddenly left the place and jumped in front of Xia Keming, his thick palm was already covered with blue light, and slapped Xia Keming's chest. And Xia Keming was also on guard, his body retreated, his hands raised, his palms were blackened, as if they were cast in iron, facing the old horse's hands, and at the same time shouting: "Brother Xiao retreat, behind me!"

Xiao Rui saw Xia Keming standing in front of him, and his heart warmed, knowing that this young man really wanted to protect himself, and he still trusted himself very much, otherwise he would not give his back to himself. I have already made up my mind that no matter what, I will help him get justice. Lao Ma saw that Xia Keming took his palm, not only was it fine, but he also took the opportunity to stand in front of Xiao Rui and protect Xiao Rui behind him, and he was also shocked in his heart, he had been practicing penance for more than 30 years, and how old is this kid, he can actually take his own palm, sure enough, the one who comes is not good, and the good one does not come. Although he was shocked in his heart, he couldn't see it at all on the surface, and he really didn't take it seriously, after all, this was in his own shop, and there was his son next to him who didn't do it, if the father and son were together, they would definitely be able to kill him.

Lao Ma was thinking in his heart, Xia Keming was also secretly anxious in his heart, he originally thought that the Ma family father and son were just forging strong, although there was a master of practice, but he was also on guard. I didn't expect this old horse's skills to be so profound, but he was alone, and it was okay to deal with it by himself, if it was their father and son together, it would be troublesome, although he could get away, but this Xiao friend was afraid that he couldn't take it away. If that's the case, wouldn't you be harming others? No matter what, you have to protect him thoroughly, and you can't harm someone's life in vain!

Several people had their own ideas in their hearts, and they all thought a lot in an instant. After the old horse retreated, he pounced on him after a slight pause, and the speed of his movement was completely inversely proportional to his fat figure, two stubby fat legs, curled up slightly, and then stretched forward with his right foot, and the toes pointed to Xia Keming's lower abdomen, and the two fat hands patted Xia Keming's temples on both sides at the same time. Xia Keming stood in front of Xiao Rui at this time, his body could not retreat, he could only raise his right leg, his knee was pushed against the old horse's right foot, his hands were raised, and the old horse's hands were separated, and then his hands stretched forward and patted the old horse's round belly.

"Poof", Xia Keming's hands really slapped the old horse's stomach, but Xia Keming was shocked, because he felt that although his hands slapped the old horse's stomach, but it seemed that he didn't use the strength at all, the old horse's round belly was like a leather ball, his palm slapped up, the stomach just shrank back, dissolving his own strength, and then drummed again, but his palm was tightly attached, and then a suction force came, and his hands were sucked. And the old horse's fat hands had already slapped down again at this time.

Xia Keming saw that the old horse's hands were slapped on the top of his head again, his hands were sucked up, and he couldn't pull out to block it, and his body couldn't retreat, so he lowered his head and hit the old horse's chest. "Bang" and "Bang" sounded, first Xia Keming's head hit the old horse's chest, and then the old horse's hands also slapped Xia Keming's back. The figures of the two separated again, but the corners of Xia Keming's mouth were already bloodshot. And the old horse's face was also a little red, and it seemed that both sides were not lightly injured.

At this time, the old horse waved his hand and said to the shopkeeper: "Let's go together, kill this kid quickly, and don't let that one go." After saying that, his hands were closed in front of him, and he faintly drove the air to twist, and then, his hands were divided outward, and a cyan energy roared out between his hands, rushing towards Xia Keming. And the shopkeeper of the horse also made the same action, but he was standing on the side, but the target of the attack was Xiao Rui. Two cyan energies instantly arrived in front of Xiao Rui and the others.

Xia Keming made a surprising move at this time, ignoring the attack in front of him, but raised his hand and sent out a powerful blow, blocking Xiao Rui's body. And the old horse's strength has already hit him.
