Chapter 4: Getting there first
Even though Liu Tong was having a lot of fun and debauching every night during this period, every time he passed by the main hall and saw the plaque in the hall that said "loyalty to the liver, righteousness to the bravery", his heart would tremble.
Tonight, he was easily defeated. After being made a fool of himself, he broke through his defense instantly and lost any thought of resisting and making excuses.
The more Liu Tong thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. Unknowingly, he shed two lines of tears, "I shouldn't be greedy for a moment. I should have been clean for 20 years. I shouldn't have stepped in that day..."
"Stop! I'm not interested in hearing your thoughts." Li Shi hurriedly stopped, "I only want money."
Liu Tong immediately stopped crying. Although he didn't understand what "mental journey" meant, he felt the other party's impatience and the meaning of "losing money and avoiding disaster" in his words. He quickly explained, with a tearful tone in his words.
"There are now more than 70,000 taels left. There are two thousand taels of silver notes behind the plaque in the main hall that says 'Loyal Liver and Yidan'. I exchanged 40,000 taels for jewelry and hid them in the tomb of my apprentice Zhao Xiaojun in Yunhe Temple.
"Liu Tong was suddenly stunned for a moment.
Li did know that Zhao Xiaojun was one of the bodyguards killed by Liu Tong. Wait, Yunhe Temple? This name sounds familiar. Where have you heard it?
"There are still 30,000 taels. I divided them a dozen times and deposited them in the main store of Tongbao Bank. They were anonymous and collected with tickets. The tickets were hidden under the floor tiles over there." Liu Tong pointed his finger in the direction of the bed.
Li is a bit dumbfounded. It's the floor tiles. Why do people in this world like to hide things under the floor tiles? Do you have any ideas?
At this time, the sky was already getting slightly brighter. Li Shi stared at Liu Tong as he lifted up the floor tiles, took out the iron box, and took out the bills. The sword in his hand was condensed but not fired. As long as this guy dared to play any tricks, he would immediately kill him.
Fortunately, Liu Tong cooperated very well. Li Shi stuffed the iron box full of bills into the clothes on his chest and said, "The money belongs to me, and I won't tell anyone about it." She sheathed his sword, turned around and left.
Liu Tong looked at the back of the man walking towards the main hall in the courtyard, and then looked at the hole on the ground. He suddenly felt reluctance in his heart, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at his dart bag not far away.
Liu Tong rushed towards his dart bag, muttering, "It's all mine, it's all mine!" He pulled open the dart bag, but was suddenly stunned, and suddenly turned his head to look at the courtyard, where he and Li Shishuang
Eyes facing each other.
At this time, a few rays of sunlight happened to shine into the courtyard, and one of them was being held by Li Shi.
That was not sunlight, that was the golden light reflected by Liu Tong's golden dart in the sun. At this time, the golden light left Li Shi's hand and shot towards Liu Tong.
Liu Tong shouted, "Young hero! Go around..."
Bang!
The golden dart hit the wall.
"You don't know how to use..." Liu Tong suddenly realized and turned around to find the golden escort. The man was two feet away from him, which was enough.
Liu Tong was a master of concealed weapons, and he was very good at identifying positions by listening to sounds. He already knew where the golden dart would land before he turned around, so he got the golden dart almost instantly.
With the golden dart in hand, Liu Tong's heart soared. He was nicknamed Iron Pen and Golden Dart. The iron pen was in front and the golden dart was behind. But only he knew that his skills on the golden dart were what he was most proud of.
Suddenly, Liu Tong felt a coldness in his throat, followed by a steady stream of warmth. Liu Tong lowered his head, and the last thing he saw was a bloody sword tip.
Li Shi pulled out the sword from the back of Liu Tong's neck, but his whole body shook and almost fell. He had just crossed a distance of two feet in an instant, and all the evil-proofing energy in his body was almost exhausted.
Li Shi leaned against the door frame and was frightened for a while, "Oh, I was struck by lightning for pretending to be cool. I just learned the hidden weapon techniques from the sword manual yesterday, and I want to use them today. You are too arrogant."
He sneaked into Liu Tong's bedroom and took away the opponent's dart bag in advance. When he checked, he found that there were some gold decorations on the darts made of fine steel. He was very short of money and took them without mercy.
But he didn't expect to give Liu Tong the delusion that "I can fight back".
Li didn't want to kill anyone at first, but he also wanted to use this as a blackmail to get Liu Tong, who was well-connected, to inquire about information for him.
After his body recovered a little, Li Shi went to the main hall and opened the plaque that read "Loyalty to the Liver and Yiguo", only to find that there was nothing behind it.
Did this guy lie to him or did he remember it wrong? It was going to be dawn soon, and Li was not willing to stay here any longer. After all, he had 30,000 yuan worth of banknotes in his arms, so he left the Liu family.
In the afternoon, Li Shi, who was in full swing, strolled to Yunhe Temple outside Nanjing.
Yunhe Temple is outside the city of Nanjing, not too close. The temple is small and shabby, and it has not performed any miracles. Most Nanjing people have never heard of it.
Li inquired for a long time before getting the detailed address from a woodcutter.
When Li Shi arrived at the temple gate, he found that it was indeed a small and ruined temple. The walls were low and not as high as Li Shi's, and they were cracked and collapsed in several places.
The temple door is a wooden door made of two wooden boards. It has not even been painted. At this time, the door opening is wide open, allowing the dilapidated interior to be seen at a glance.
Who would have thought that such a dilapidated temple would actually contain jewelry worth thirty thousand taels of silver and half of the body of Rama, the most precious martial arts treasure.
Alas, you quacks here really don't have much imagination. Important things are either hidden on the floor or buried in graves.
On the way here, Li Shi also thought of Yunhe Temple.
The movie "Sword Rain" is a very good martial arts film. Li watched it several times back then and was familiar with many details in it.
This temple is a very important place in the movie. Xiaoyu buried some items that could prove his identity in Yunhe Temple. Lu Zhu's master is the abbot of this temple. Half of Rama's body is estimated to be in Yunhe Temple at this time.
In the hands of this abbot.
Even the final battle between Xiaoyu and the villain Chakravartin took place here.
Therefore, Li was in this wave, not only to take away the jewelry, but also to survey the terrain to prepare for the final possible battle.
"Is anyone here?" Li knocked on the door out of politeness, but no one responded even after shouting several times, so he stepped into Yunhe Temple, shouting all the way, and walked inside.
Although it is a small and dilapidated temple, it still has everything it should have, such as the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Heavenly King Hall, and the Sutra Storehouse of the Main Hall, but the scale is much smaller, and the Buddha statues inside are now dilapidated, and no one seems to have cleaned them.
After walking around the main part of the temple, Li Shi didn't see a single living person, so he turned behind the temple and saw a cemetery, not many, only about 100 tombs.
No one is better, so there is no need to make up a reason.
Li Shi looked straight through the rows and quickly found Zhao Xiaojun's tomb, which had been dug up.
Li Shi didn't see the jewelry worth 40,000 silver, but only saw the broken coffin and the messy bones.
He grabbed a handful of soil, and as long as the surface was thin and dry, Zhao Xiaojun's tomb must have been dug up a few hours ago, and someone got ahead of him and took away all the jewelry!
He realized that when he forced Liu Tong to reveal the whereabouts of his escort, there should be a third person present.
Is it a coincidence?
It happened that someone also suspected that Liu Tong was a thief and was secretly investigating him. Then he came to find Liu Tong. Hearing that there was jewelry hidden in Yunhe Temple, he dug it out in advance.
The banknote behind the plaque was probably taken away by this person first!
Hiding in the dark without being discovered by himself, this person's skills should not be bad, but not much higher than his own, otherwise the other party could directly attack him and steal the remaining exchange notes.
Li Shi held the hilt of the sword in his hand and looked around.
Is this third person hiding in the dark still in Yunhe Temple at this time?
Chapter completed!
