When Pei Li returned to the theater, the courtyard door was still closed, and the lights at the door were not set off.

At that time, the old man said that this one was closed in the afternoon, and now it was evening, Pei Ye smiled and thought that the money for this play was not as expensive as the gas money, and it was normal not to open it at night.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time.

He had seen the scarcity of manpower in the theater, so he simply pushed the door in by himself - but it was indeed not locked.

There were no fire candles in the field, but Pei Ye took advantage of the moon to see it, but the whole person paused suddenly.

It was like a hurricane.

All the things I saw during the day were messy, the tables overturned and the chairs fell over, and some even smashed and split; At noon, the tea cup and dim sum that I heard about had not yet been cleaned up, and at this time, it was rummaged around, and broken porcelain wood pieces fell to the ground.

The wooden frame of the stage in the center was broken and fell, and most of it had collapsed, and the red curtain was entangled in the ruins, which was the most dazzling color under the light moon.

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, and immediately strode towards the backstage corridor.

There was no one all the way.

It wasn't until he came to the door in the afternoon that he saw a candlelight leaking out of the crack, Pei Li's face was slightly relaxed, and as soon as he stretched out his arm to push open half of the door, several pairs of eyes in the room were cast at the same time.

There are a total of six people, some people often wear costumes, and at this time, all of them sit with their hips and hips apart, their faces are white, their faces are tense, and their eyes are red, like birds with bows.

Everyone had dirt and trauma on their bodies.

“.”

Pei Ye pushed it again, and the door leaf squeaked heavily, Pei Ye looked down, the connection was already twisted and broken, and a boot print was dented on the door, obviously carrying true qi.

There were also a few equally shocking traces of destruction in the house, Pei Ye didn't see who had kung fu here, and the person who came deliberately poured such violence in front of this group of unarmed ordinary people.

"What's going on?" Pei Li asked.

"You, you're there" was quiet for a moment before someone whispered in confusion.

Pei Ye lowered his head and raised the script in his hand: "At noon, I came here to buy "White Snake Love" from an old man, and I haven't paid yet, so we said we'll talk in the evening." I think. He should be the Sun Da Tsing Yi of your hospital. ”

“.” Several people suddenly felt sad on their faces, and the older one's throat moved, and he said in a dumb voice, "Master said that if you have any money, you can put it down. According to the rules, if you buy a book seriously, we will send out a drama corner to help your courtyard set up the stage, and in three days, you will come back to find -"

"What about Sun Qingyi?" Pei Ye interrupted.

Silence again.

"What about people?!" Pei Ye frowned and asked.

The actor finally couldn't hold back his face anymore, covered his hands, and choked silently: "Master. Refuse to sell the theater to them and be them. Taken captive to Longmen Tower! ”

“.” Pei Ye breathed a sigh of relief and was silent for a while, "When I left, Sun Qingyi said that there were some things to talk about, were they the two dragon heads?"

Another actor said with a white face and a trembling voice: "When they came, they also said that they couldn't talk about it, so they turned their faces."

"Is it Pei, Pei brothers?" Suddenly, a hoarse and slight voice came from the depths, Pei Ye turned his head to look, there was a seventh person there, Pei Ye recognized it at a glance, it was Ji Yun.

He strode over, and the man of sorrow and indignation was lying on a table, half of his face bruised and swollen, his lips wide open, and beside him a mass of blood-stained white cloth.

Pei Ye stretched out his hand and pressed his wrist, and his true qi poured in, and in a moment, he felt out three broken bones.

But in fact, the eyes can be detected earlier than the true qi - the man's left arm hangs limply, and for ordinary people who have no true qi, even if this injury can be recovered, it will leave a lifelong legacy.

Pei Ye looked at this injury, and the Danjiao next to him sobbed softly: "When they kidnapped Master, Senior Brother Ji jumped on it like crazy and was beaten the hardest."

"Brother Ji." Pei Ye squatted down and said softly, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

Ji Yun didn't have it easy to speak, but in fact, as long as he said three words, things were already clear.

- The theater is a very lucrative business.

——Sun Qingyi is a very famous big horn in Xiangzhou City.

——To do business in Qijiu City, you have to give two cents of profit to Lord Long Zhu.

The blood rabbit under the vulture's eyes and the white fat meat in the mouth of the hungry dog, how can there be any reason to escape. However, such a fat sheep was placed in front of him, and he only earned six taels of profit every month, and he only paid one tael of silver.

This is not the first day of pressure, they keep harassing the troupe, wanting to buy shares in theaters, build gardens, build high-rise buildings, build fame, and do the business of rich people.

Sun Qingyi disagreed.

"In the past, did they also come to smash like this?" Pei Ye asked to the corner next to him.

"No, in the past, that is, to talk about it again."

"Why were you polite then?"

“.” The actor was stunned.

"Because. At that time, there was a sister in Yi. Ji Yun, who was lying on the side, said in a low voice, "Kou Liyue is afraid of the Yi family." ”

He hissed and gritted his teeth, and said hatefully: "Yi Nandai once broke his two arms and hung him in the city river for three days. ”

But after a pause, he turned his head to look at the others again, and said in a dumb voice, "This . . . Don't spread the word. ”

"Who is Yi Nandai?" Pei Li asked.

"Senior Sister Yi's second brother is very powerful, very powerful." Ji Yun said in a low voice, "I don't like to talk or show up." He didn't fight martial arts, but the big kui of the year before last looked for him to learn. I heard that I didn't go through five moves under the gun. ”

"But in recent months, the head of the Yi family has passed away, and Senior Sister Yi has been forced to marry far away.

As soon as the hoarse voice disappeared, the gloomy clouds in the room became more and more cold and oppressive.

"Master's bones are hard, I don't know what kind of suffering I have to suffer" Ji Yun suddenly cried silently, "He is old"

Pei Ye patted him, nodded and stood up: "I know." ”

"Hmm" Ji Yun lowered his miserable face, "Brother Pei, let's go back first, about the script, let's-"

"It's not a script." Pei Ye interrupted, "I have something to ask Sun Daqingyi tonight, and now that he is not here, I will go to Longmen Tower." ”

He turned and walked out the door.

There was silence in the room.

"Pei, Brother Pei!" Ji Yun propped up his neck violently and anxiously stopped, "Brother Pei, I know you have some kung fu, but Longmenlou-"

Pei Ye turned around and gently raised the back of the bronze finch plaque towards everyone, and the shining golden light cut off the man's voice.

"I know." He said softly, "After an hour, I will bring Sun Qingyi back, and if Sun Qingyi has suffered an accident, I will bring Kou Liyue's head back." ”

"I'm Bowang Qiukui Pei Li, and I'm covering this theater today."

The inscription of the bronze sparrow flashed under the candlelight, and it was "sword claws and golden beaks, stabbing evil and killing evil".

——————

The night is getting darker.

In front of the Longmen Tower, the lights and candles are bright, and the bleak moonlight spreads all over the bleak Qijiu City, but here it is dispelled by the hot light.

Kou Liyue was born with a calm appearance, with a wide forehead and thick eyebrows, a high nose and thick lips, and a body that was a head taller than ordinary people.

Kou Liyue is a cultivation genius who was killed from the lowest gang, because he dared to fight and kill, and was ruthless, he was favored by the previous leader of Qijiu City, and took him with him as a guard for four years.

At the beginning of the fifth year, Kou Liyue stepped into the realm of six lives, and cut off the head of the big dragon head in front of the leaders of the seven large and small gangs in this Longmen Tower, and divided the people under the steps into the Longmen Gang rudder one by one, and since then there has only one voice in Qijiu City.

That was five years ago.

It had been a long time since anyone had challenged his majesty, and he was accustomed to speaking in this small city. In fact, there were no people worth dealing with here, and his banquets were always in the south or east of the city.

In the flowing silver, he was tired of the soft brocade, and he also developed some quirks—he wore only black clothes without ornamentation, but he had to cut the best silk; Eat only light rice, but it is necessary to take out the most precious grains.

His ambition is still martial arts.

After pondering in the realm of six lives for five years, he now always feels that he is about to step into the upper two realms, and his lifelong wish is to be able to enter the eighth life, and from then on he will truly become a truly famous figure in the Xiangzhou martial arts.

He was running for this goal every day, and at this time, sitting on the fifth floor of the center of his Erli City, Kou Liyue was like a lazy lion returning home, enjoying the feeling of solipsism in the territory, and looking at the dilapidated and deserted below.

The more he staggered with those in Dongcheng, the more he felt that he couldn't handle this realm. He personally visited the theater yesterday, and it was after drinking that the irritability came back again.

"Xiao Xu said that he always can't talk to Sun everyone." Kou Liyue lazily leaned in the wide chair, bowed his head and played with a newly-acquired dagger, his voice deep and low, "So I asked him to invite everyone Sun to see if he was not satisfied." ”

He picked up a piece of paper beside him: "We will bear all the expenses, as long as the Sun family acts every day, they will take 30% of the shares-this is actually the condition I personally gave to the Sun family." ”

The old man in the hall sat stunned, his gray hair was a little unkempt, his lips were chapped, and his clothes were messy.

The old man is the golden signboard of the future theater, and his body bones are indeed brittle when he is old, so there are no scars on his body.

It's just a humiliating method that doesn't hurt people, and there are many Longmen Towers.

"Or everyone Sun is willing to be in charge of their own house, I see that Xiao Xu also gave you a way." Kou Liyue looked at the conditions on the paper, "We will pay you to build a theater next to the Longmen Tower, and the lowest price will be sold at thirty copper plates, and the future profits will be divided into thirty percent."

The man's lion eyes stared at the old man in the hall, and said slowly: "Isn't this okay? ”

The fishy weight that was almost condensed towards the old man's brittle body pressed towards it, Sun Qingyi's body trembled slightly, he turned his head, looked at the man in the hall with a pair of tired old eyes, and his voice was almost quiet: "I only play two copper plates and one play." ”

Be quiet.

Kou Liyue gently put down the paper in his hand, the little dagger stopped turning, and he looked directly at the old man: "I don't have much time to argue with you, let them invite you here, just to solve this matter tonight - I ask one last time, okay, or no?" ”

Sun Qingyi's body trembled even more, but the bones of the drama that he had acted in all his life were straight enough, and the old man's eyes did not dodge or dodge, and he said in a dumb voice: "I only play two copper plates and one play." ”

"Okay." Kou Liyue smiled lightly, and the dagger turned again, "Then don't act." ”

His eyes turned to the side of Xu Ergongzi: "Throw it back if the leg is broken, and when the marriage of the Yi family is over, everyone in the theater will take off an arm." ”

Sun Qingyi stood up suddenly, clenched his body, and stared at him with dead eyes: "What does it have to do with them?!" ”

Kou Liyue looked at him with a smile: "It's okay, but I like it." ”

"You"

Xu Ergongzi chuckled on the side: "Does Sun Qingyi want to regret it?" It's better to sing two paragraphs to Kou Ye, maybe Kou Ye will spare you this time. ”

Sun Qingyi's teeth trembled, his body was tense as iron, and he couldn't make any sound in his throat.

Kou Liyue also smiled, and his face narrowed after laughing: "It's late, let's fight." ”

——————

The Longmen Tower was in front, Pei Ye uncorked the porcelain bottle and poured out a mellow elixir.

The young man's fingers twisted, and a line of delicate and fine small characters was reflected in the moonlight - "Running to the Stars and the Moon, Five Turns to the Ladder and Ascending the Ladder".

It's the one that was rewarded for winning the championship.

It's one thing to investigate, it's another thing to do something, and the situation that affects the whole body is still not clear, and once you do it, it means exposing yourself to the eyes of the enemy in the shadows, and then you may face a series of battles that you don't expect.

However, in the cooperation with the girl, he originally acted as "moving" and "bright", with glass in his body, it doesn't matter if he is high-profile, he is a deadly bait.

However, even as bait, Wusheng is safer than Sisheng after all.

He took it into his mouth.

The Ascending Pill can make a martial artist step into four lives ten out of ten, and it can also make a martial artist step into five lives in eight out of ten times, but it must not make a martial artist swallow two pieces in a row within twenty days, and he can cross from three lives to five lives in a row.

There is no accumulation, no moderate staging, and it will only damage the meridian tree.

But Yulu didn't seem to be damaged, Pei Li had a keen perception of it, and he felt that it was almost okay, so he swallowed it directly.

Sure enough, it was another rainstorm.

Sixteen meridians meristem upwards and turn into thirty-two vigorous branches.

It's a small tree.

The rich true qi is filled in the dantian, from the written point of view, Pei Ye has officially entered a realm that represents "entering the house", the people in this realm, if they are in the county, they are one of the best masters, and if they are in the state city gang dart bureau, most of them are also a few high-level people.

Pei Ye slowly exhaled a breath and raised his head, there was already a Longmen Tower in front of him.

When I came here again, the gate was closed, and the two guards were still chatting in front of the door.

Looking at the figure of the young man coming, the two stopped talking and looked at him with squinted eyes.

"I just walked so hard, why did I slip back again?" One person said leisurely, "It's a pity that this door is only opened once, and this time I want to enter the iron cage, and I don't have a chance." ”

Pei Li walked up to him.

The nursing home raised his eyebrows: "Yo-"

His collar was jerked, and he leaned forward uncontrollably, choking on words.

He didn't even realize how this was happening, and the young man's calm face was already in front of him.

After a moment of stunnedness, the nursing courtyard suddenly glared at him and became angry, and his true anger surged out from the dantian: "You-"

The latter words were violently strangled, and a knee was already pressed into his abdomen, and the sharp pain suddenly penetrated his whole body, and his person curled up like a shrimp.

Pei Ye let go of the limp and trembling body in his hand, and another guardian roared and drew a knife and rushed over, Pei Ye untied the [Mountain Feather] from his back, sheathed and sheathed the sword, and smashed him three feet away.

The boy shook his scabbard without squinting and kicked open the heavy door in front of him.

The bolt of the door exploded and collapsed, the door leaf slammed into the wall crookedly, the wind kicked off the scattered sawdust, and Pei Ye strode in.
