Chapter 30: Doubts of the Shadow
As the silver ingots were about to be placed into the Buddha's belly, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky. With the thunder, the statue of the mud-tied Buddha exploded with a "boom!", and then fragments and gold and silver scattered all over the ground. The three officials were shocked, and the three of them could not help but dodge and dodge aside.
"What's going on..." The cold sweat on Brother Zhao's face had already flowed down. If there were no such pile of gold and silver on the ground, he had already escaped from the temple at this time. Buddhism was prosperous during the Tang Dynasty. Although it was a dilapidated old temple, when he saw the Buddha statue burst, the three of them thought it was the Buddha who was furious and warned them.
"Brother Zhao, naturally the Buddha is angry, let's forget it..." The young official's family is much better than that of Brother Zhao and the official's sword. He was the first to tremble and said, "The Buddha is so angry that he is very small, let's forget it. Now I have time to pay back the money..."
"It's too late..." The sword-carrying official smiled grimly. When he spoke, he had already pulled out the big knife behind him and chopped it down at the young man's neck. As a piece of blood splashed over, the young man's head was chopped off.
After finding someone who saw the huge change in front of him, he pulled out his waist knife for the first time, and then said to the official who was attacking, "Li Jia, are you crazy? Li Adi is just a little timid. Why do you want to kill your own people? Now kill him, is it my turn next?"
"Brother Zhao, Ah, you are too timid. Sooner or later, you will ruin big things. If I don't kill him, he will definitely be in Ah's hands in the future." While speaking, Li Jia, the official in charge of the sword, slammed the blood on his knife, and then continued to say to him: "Now that Ah is dead, we said that when we went to the official document, we found that the thief was stealing in the Li family. After we found out, we fought with the thief, and Ah was unfortunately killed by the thief..."
While speaking, Li Jia regained the scattered gold and silver, and then said to Brother Zhao who was still holding a knife and saying, "I don't want the one from Brother Zhao. Brother Zhao, your family has a large population, so you can use it to support the family..."
Brother Zhao originally took a big head, but now after hearing what Li Jia said, his heart started to move again. Seeing that Li Jia was still packing up the gold and silver, he was not afraid of giving him something behind his back. Brother Zhao took a deep breath and said, "Then I heard from you, brother. Brother Ah, is really too brave..."
There is still a problem now. If Brother Zhao dies, the gold and silver cannot be kept in the temple. After Brother Zhao discussed it with Li Jia, the two of them transported the gold and silver to one of Brother Zhao's brother-in-law's house again. His brother-in-law is doing business outside all year round, and there is only one wife in the family with a two-year-old child. Brother Zhao and his brother-in-law's wife are also unclear. It is safe to hide the gold and silver in their house, and such a woman dare not embezzle such a large amount of money.
At this moment, the two began to amp the gold and silver at Brother Zhao's brother-in-law's house. After the two left the abandoned temple with bamboo buildings filled with gold and silver, a figure appeared next to the ruins of the blown Buddha statue. He reached out to pick up the book that had been placed on gold and silver. Before he could turn the pages, he shook his head bitterly, and then said to the air: "It's really fake... I heard that Wu Mian learned the magic of Master Dafang. It turned out to be true today..."
After saying a word, no one came out to answer. The figure was stunned for a moment. Then he secretly tried to test whether the temple was restricted. What he unexpectedly could still use the Five Elements Escape Technique to go and go freely. Then the figure walked to the young official with two corpses, and looked carefully at what kind of illusion was there, and it was undoubtedly a dead person.
Since the three officials entered Bingzhou City, the shadows have been paying attention to them secretly. Seeing how the three of them went to the government office to get the official documents, they went to the Li family to steal hundreds of kilograms of gold and silver. How they transported them to this abandoned temple, although the shadows thought that this was the illusion performed by Wu Mian. However, there was no flaw in it. Then the booklet hidden in the Buddha statue was discovered, which made the shadow's heart begin to beating wildly. The judgment of the illusion in his heart began to shake again...
Then the figure saw three officials starting to move, and blood splattered on his feet. The smell of blood had already filled the abandoned temple, making his heart even more shaken. Is this really an illusion?
When he saw the two officials transporting gold and silver to other places, the figure took the risk of appearing. Once the thing he had been looking for was really hidden in the Buddha statue. However, he just held the book in his hand and felt that it was not what he was looking for. Since the thing was fake, then what he had just had was an illusion.
The figure who was ready to die was not waiting for anything. It was not as he had imagined. Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and Xi Yingzhen rushed in one by one, killing themselves and giving them to Master Xu Fu Dafang. He didn't even have a ban, so he ran away if he said he could escape...
Just as the figure was confused, there was another sound of footsteps from afar. The two officials had already transported gold and silver away, and now they were back to transport the remaining gold and silver scattered on the ground.
Seeing that there was one more person in the dilapidated temple, both officials were shocked. They pulled out their official swords at the same time, and rushed over without saying a word and wanted to kill people to silence them. Both of them believed that this person was a vagrant who remained in the city without escaping. If he didn't die, he would be in trouble.
Both official masters are not weak, and they are also very powerful when using two official swords. If the figure is an ordinary person, the heads of the body and heads are already different at this time, and the blame for killing the young official master Ah Di will be on his head. Unfortunately, the two official masters really found the wrong opponent this time. The two people's eyes were in front of them, and the two official swords had already reached the hands of the figure in front of them. They didn't even feel like the official sword was removed, so the guy came to this person's hands.
The two officials were shocked and knew that they were not the opponent of the figure. They turned around and fled outside the temple at the same time. Now they could not think about gold and silver. It was God's blessing to save their lives. Unfortunately, they forgot the evil things they had just done. God would only trip them up at this time...
Seeing two official officers running away, the figure was not in a hurry to chase him. After slowly walking out of the ruined temple, he raised his hand and threw the two official swords in his hand towards Brother Zhao. After a flash of sword light, the two official swords pierced through Brother Zhao's heart and another knife pierced his neck. He killed Brother Zhao on the spot.
After Guan Dao took action, the shadow ignored Brother Zhao. He slowly followed Li Jia, watching the Li family get farther and farther away. As soon as he turned the corner in front of him, the shadow's body suddenly disappeared from the spot. Then he appeared at the corner where Li Jia was about to turn over, and kicked the Guanmaster who was hitting him and was about to fly away.
Li Jia was kicked into the puddle on the corner of the street, and his body was covered in mud. After trembling, he said to the figure: "Don't kill me... I'll give you all the gold and silver, buy my life... Don't kill me, you can do whatever you want..."
The figure slowly walked to Li Jia's side, looked up and down at him, and said softly: "Are you transformed from illusion? As long as you can prove that you are a human being, I won't kill you if you are not illusion."
"What kind of illusion?" Li Jia didn't understand what the figure was saying, but he still bit the bullet and continued: "I am the eighth-rank Li Jia of the Jiedu Office. You can go and inquire. Li Jia has been in the Jiedu Office for ten years. My family lives in Xicheng, and I also have a wife and two sons. My wife Jia, her mother's family is also a local, and she is the third girl who dyes a house in the east of the city..."
"I didn't ask your household registration, I asked how you prove that you are a human being, not an illusion..." The figure interrupted Li Jia's words. After shook his head, he continued, "It seems that you can't prove it, so I'll help you to prove it."
