The sky was slightly dark, and the Zhao Mansion was already brightly lit, and two rows of red lanterns hung high at the door, stretching for several miles to the street, to welcome the guests who came to congratulate.

There was an endless stream of guests, some came alone, some brought their families, some had mules and horses carrying full gifts, some carried treasures quietly, and all kinds of things were different.

Zhao Yinhu, the owner of Zhao Mansion, is known as invincible with an iron arm, and has been practicing kung fu for decades, and he is definitely a man of the year in the local area. At the moment, as a birthday star, he is sitting in the middle of the lobby, pushing cups and changing lamps with relatives and friends.

"Zhao Ye's iron arm is invincible, and it is not an exaggeration to be a hero today."

"Your vision is too narrow, how can Haojie match Zhao Ye, he is really a big hero."

"Yes, yes!" Someone toasted, "Even if it is said to be the premier phoenix dance sword technique, when you encounter Zhao Ye's iron arms, you will be willing to bow down." ”

"You've won the prize." Zhao Yinhu stroked his beard and said proudly: "But this set of swordsmanship is all hearsay, it is said to be the first swordsmanship of our Dawu Dynasty, but no one has seen it with their own eyes so far, perhaps, it is just a rumor, it doesn't exist at all!" ”

"Zhao Ye is clever, with Zhao Ye's knowledge of going south and north, he has never seen it, and the phoenix dance sword technique must be in vain." Someone raised a toast.

Zhao Yinhu picked up his wine glass and was about to drink, when a disciple came to his side and whispered. After hearing this, Zhao Yinhu didn't feel it, and said in a low voice: "Really? ”

"The disciple is short-sighted and can't distinguish the truth from the false, so he has to ask the master to decide." The disciple groveled and did not dare to raise his voice.

Zhao Yinhu waved his hand: "Call him over." ”

The surrounding guests didn't know why, and they all turned around to watch. A moment later, the disciple led a young man over, who held a small wooden box in both hands and followed behind him unhurriedly, with a steady and restrained step.

The young man walked in front of him, and Zhao Yinhu looked up and down, "Have you practiced kung fu?" ”

"Back to Zhao Ye, I have practiced some family kung fu, I have admired Zhao Ye's prestige since I was a child, and I learned that Zhao Ye had a birthday, and I got this night pearl by chance, and I specially sent it over to cheer Zhao Ye." With that, the young man opened the wooden box and held it with both hands.

The wooden box is wrapped in satin, revealing the upper part of the night pearl, the part that can be seen by the night pearl, the whole body is black, there is no variegation, and there seems to be a little thin smoke inside, which wants to seep out from the surface of the bead.

Zhao Yinhu couldn't help but widen his eyes, as if talking to himself: "It is rumored that there are four top night pearls in the world, which are called Bright Moon, Starfall, Shine Night, and Xuanqing. Looking at the color of this night pearl, is it Xuanqing? ”

The young man was neither humble nor arrogant: "The villain just listened to the words of others, and did not distinguish between the true and the false, and besides, the villain's martial arts are low, and he is very afraid to get this jewel, for fear of being deceived, and please Zhao Ye to distinguish it." ”

Zhao Yinhu stretched out his hand and took out the night pearl to play with in his palm, stared at the jewel and asked, "Even if this bead is not a treasure, the price is also very expensive, what do you want for me?" ”

The young man knelt down on his knees and bowed at Zhao Yinhu's feet, "Zhao Ye is famous, and his disciples are full of admiration, I just want to take this opportunity to worship under Zhao Ye's door, with Zhao Ye's protection, I will raise my eyebrows and not be bullied." ”

Zhao Yinhu smiled slightly, ignoring the young man, he ordered: "Turn off all the lights in the lobby, and all your friends will witness it, and you will come to appreciate the true face of this jewel." Whether it's true or not, you can naturally see it. ”

A disciple whispered to dissuade: "On Master's birthday, I'm afraid it's unlucky to turn off all the lights, right?" ”

Zhao Yinhu snorted coldly, with a fierce look on his face: "I think it's you who is unlucky!" ”

The disciple trembled with fright, knelt down and trembled, "The disciple should die, please forgive the master." ”

"Bastard, still talking nonsense, on the day of his birthday, he is taboo everywhere." Zhao Yinhu's face turned blue.

Another disciple stepped forward and slapped the man in the face several times because he was overwhelmed by the wrong words, and scolded, "Shut up and listen to Master." ”

Zhao Yinhu forcibly suppressed his anger and ordered: "It's Wang Hao, drag him out and lock him up first, and beat the twenty boards tomorrow as a warning." ”

Wang Hao ordered the disciple to go out.

How dare the rest of the people disagree, all the lights in the hall were extinguished, and the night pearl in Zhao Yinhu's hand lit up instantly, and the huge hall seemed to be shrouded in the light of the full moon, and the figures were clearly distinguishable.

"Xuanqing, it's really Xuanqing." Zhao Yinhu couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and blurted out.

"Congratulations to Zhao Ye for getting this baby!" Some guests immediately congratulated loudly.

The disciples were happy to see Zhao Yinhu, so they turned on the lights again, and the hall was bright again.

Zhao Yinhu couldn't put it down while playing with the night pearl, and only after a cup of tea did he think of the young man kneeling at his feet, and said with satisfaction: "Get up, you kid can be regarded as filial piety, so I will accept you as a disciple." Tonight is the teacher's birthday banquet, and tomorrow we will officially apprentice! ”

"Master Xie!" The young man was overjoyed, holding the wooden box in both hands and about to step aside.

"Wait." Zhao Yinhu stopped him, "Let's put this Xuanqing back in the box first, and ask them to give it to your junior mother in a while, and in a few days it will be your little junior brother's 100-day banquet, so it should be a gift for their mothers!" ”

Another guest complimented: "Master Zhao, this is a double happiness, congratulations, let's have a good time in a few days." ”

The young man stepped forward happily and respectfully held the box and handed it over. Zhao Yinhu played with the jewel again, and couldn't put it down, although he was reluctant to put it into the silk in the box. When he was about to put down the bead in one hand, there was a sudden change, and a sleeve arrow suddenly shot out from the bottom of the wooden box, rushing straight between Zhao Yinhu's eyes.

Within reach, there was no way to avoid it, Rao is Zhao Yinhu has profound skills, and when the tip of the arrow was close to the eyebrows, he stretched out his other hand and grabbed the sleeve arrow in time.

Zhao Yinhu was furious, and was about to stand up, when his stomach was cold, and a dagger had pierced into the Tianshu acupoint, and it was not in the handle.

As soon as the young man succeeded, he turned over and was about to jump out, Zhao Yinhu opened his hands, and the precious night pearl was also thrown aside, not knowing where to roll down. He raised his right foot and kicked the young man firmly in the lower abdomen, and the young man snorted, flew out, slammed into the beam, and then fell, blood gushing out of his mouth and staining his front placket red.

"Who are you, and how do you know where my life is?" Zhao Yinhu's whole body was full of true qi, and he was already dying, and he had no strength to speak. His invulnerable horizontal kung fu, the only weakness is the belly life, I don't know the root of the problem, I have absolutely no way to know, this secret is that the lady next to his pillow has not been told, how did the young man know.

The young man raised his spirit, knowing that the dantian had been shattered, and his cultivation was gone. He sneered: "Zhao thief, you were originally the housekeeper of this mansion, you killed my father and mother back then, occupied my family's property, and I can't wait to break your body into thousands of pieces." I only hated that I was in a hurry to escape, and that my young and ignorant father and mother didn't have time to teach me much kung fu, so I had to make this decision to kill you. ”

"You are, Gu Shengchao......" Zhao Yinhu pointed at the young man named Gu Shengchao, his body was crooked and he died, his eyes glared at the boss, presumably unwilling.

"Who, who killed Master?" Many disciples of Zhao Yinhu's sect rushed over with their swords, staring at Gu Shengchao with fierce eyes.

Gu Shengchao looked at death as if he was at home, and said coldly: "It's me, I killed this old thief, my revenge has been avenged, you want to kill or chop, listen to it!" ”

Zhao Yinhu is dead, and many disciples have no backbone, but they don't know what to do.

"Senior brother, where is senior brother?" At this time, some disciples remembered the senior brother, after all, he also obeyed the orders of others on weekdays.

A disciple came panting and ran over, out of breath and said, "You guys go to the backyard, senior brother, senior brother......" He didn't change his breath, and coughed violently.

"What's wrong with Senior Brother?" A disciple gently patted him on the back.

The disciple eased up and said, "Senior Brother is rummaging through the backyard for the gold and silver stored by Master, and he has already slashed several senior brothers. ”

"This rebel is against him, let's clean him up together and clean up the door for the master." After the disciple finished speaking, he held Zhao Yinhu's hand and said sadly: "Master, don't be impatient, I'll catch the rebel for you and apologize to Master." He rushed to the backyard angrily, and the gemstone ring on Zhao Yinhu's finger was gone, and was easily removed by the disciple and hidden in the palm of his hand.

A disciple liked the huge pearl necklace on Zhao Yinhu's chest, and was about to step forward to take it off, but when he saw that the eyes of many guests were focused, he didn't dare to make a mistake, and pretended to help the master straighten out: "Master take care." He hurriedly ran to the backyard, for fear that he would not be able to grab anything valuable if he went late.

Guests, you look at me, I look at you, and they all look at each other.

Finally, some guests couldn't hold back their desire for treasures and leaned down to look for the night pearl that was thrown away by Zhao Yinhu.

"Strange, it looks like you fell here?"

"No, I see the roll over there."

One, two, three......

More people joined in the search, and some people were the first to find out, picking up the Night Pearl and jumping out of the hall.

"Wait, that's mine." A few people chased them out. The rest knew that they were invincible and couldn't compete with each other, so they ran to the backyard in an attempt to get a piece of the pie. The last few people pushed Zhao Yinhu down, ransacked the jewelry he was wearing, and walked away.

The initiator of the whole incident, Gu Shengchao, was completely forgotten and left alone in the local area, accompanying the dead Zhao Yinhu.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and that Wang Hao rushed in. He saw the messy scene, and saw that the dead master did not have a trace of sadness, and he asked Gu Shengchao: "Where are the people?" ”

"They all went to the backyard to grab things, and it's probably too late to go now." Gu Shengchao coughed a few times.

Wang Hao didn't dare to stay, for fear that it would be really late, so he hurriedly rushed away. Wang Hao came to the backyard, except for a few junior brothers with low martial arts who didn't grab anything and were still trying to rummage, most of them had already got what they needed and left this place of right and wrong.

People go to empty buildings, and the once lively mansion has never been so bleak.

Wang Hao walked upstairs to Zhao Yinhu's bedroom, where a young woman was holding a child helplessly watching. When she saw Wang Hao coming in, she hurriedly stood up and asked: "What's wrong outside, people are like crazy, grabbing things everywhere, and even the gold and silver jewelry on my sister has been taken off by them." Tell me, did something really happen to your master? ”

"He was killed by the enemy." Wang Hao nodded.

The young woman sat down on the bed, she looked at Wang Hao and had an idea, "This old immortal deserves it, damn it!" ”

"Why did Shi Niang say this?" Wang Hao was stared at and furious.

The young woman suddenly smiled: "What's the matter, don't you know?" ”

Wang Hao took a step back, "What's the matter?" ”

"This child, aren't you going to recognize father and son?" The young woman put down the child and approached Wang Hao.

Wang Hao was stunned: "How is it possible, we have happened so many times, it can't be so coincidental." ”

The young woman smiled and said: "How many wives and concubines Zhao Yinhu has married before and after and has no children, the problem naturally lies in him, you and I are destined to have this child, we should cherish it, don't we?" ”

Wang Hao looked at the child on the bed and hesitated: "But Master, the valuable things in the entire mansion have been robbed, what will I use to support your mother and son." ”

The young woman was noncommittal, expecting, "The old immortal is no longer there, what should you call me?" ”

"Division...... Division......"

Wang Hao hesitated for a moment, walked over to the young woman and whispered, "Lady." ”

"Lang Jun." The young woman leaned on Wang Hao's chest and said softly: "Our mother and son will rely on you Lang Jun in the future." ”

Wang Hao hugged the young woman: "In the future, what will we live on guarding this empty house?" ”

The young woman laughed coquettishly: "Lang Jun, look. ”

She came to the dressing mirror, turned the lamp, and with a "creak", the dressing mirror turned to the side, revealing a three-foot square space, full of gold bars, silver ingots, and all kinds of gold and silver fine.

"That old immortal is thoughtful, and he has built such a treasure cave here a long time ago, and even I have never told him. It was also thanks to a chance encounter that this secret was discovered. With these treasures, enough for our future lives, I will give you another boy and half girl......"

The young woman was still immersed in the yearning for a happy life, her neck suddenly tightened, and she was clamped by Wang Hao's hands.

"You, you ......"

The young woman was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and she couldn't breathe out. No matter how much she struggled, it was in vain, and after a while, she lost her breath, straightened up and died in Wang Hao's arms.

"Humph!" Wang Hao threw away the young woman, stood up and said angrily: "Now this house is mine, and these gold and silver are also mine, with these, I am afraid that I will not be able to marry a lady, so you can follow the old immortal with peace of mind." ”

The child on the bed couldn't find his mother, and cried loudly, Wang Hao was upset when he heard it, grabbed the child and threw it out of the window, threw it downstairs and fell to his death.
