Before the city gates were closed, Zhang Yuan returned to the county town. Under normal circumstances, the city gates of Linhe County were opened at 12:00 . every day and closed at 12:00 ., and no one was allowed to enter or leave. If Zhang Yuan failed to catch up with the time, he would have to stay outside the city for one night. In this case, Zhang's mother would definitely be very worried. So Zhang Yuan always returned to the city early. Today, he was delayed a little because he went swimming in the river, but fortunately he was not turned away. In fact, it was very inconvenient to run back and forth between the county town and Whale Castle. But at present, Zhang Yuan was only a preparatory disciple of the Whale Gang, and he was not even qualified to live in the manor outside the fort. Not to mention living in Whale Castle. Only the helmsman, elders, hall masters, guest officials, and a small number of relatives were qualified to live in Whale Castle.
So his days of running back and forth would continue for a long time. When Zhang Yuan returned to the city, it was completely dark, and lights were lit up in the streets and alleys. The county town was still quite lively at night, especially the busy streets, which were bustling with people. It was full of the atmosphere of human life. But when you walk to the fish-selling alley, it suddenly becomes quiet and secluded, with few pedestrians. Most of the families have closed their doors early. Zhang Yuan had just stepped into the familiar alley when he suddenly felt like he was being watched. He suddenly stopped and turned around to look around! Zhang Yuan might not have been so alert before. But someone was spying on his home last night, how could he not be alert? The next moment, Zhang Yuan saw from the corner of his eye that a figure quickly shrank into a side alley not far to the right. Due to the dim light, he couldn't see the other person's figure at all. Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he immediately activated the ability of the third host, the golden grasshopper, to bless himself with double agility. Then he quietly chased after him. After the sneaky figure entered the side alley, it was like a ferocious beast was chasing behind it, and it hurriedly turned into another alley with a hint of panic. After a lot of twists and turns, he pushed open the wooden door of a dilapidated house. He dodged inside! "Old Third, why are you back?" There were three people sitting in the room, and one of the scarred men asked in surprise: "Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on the fish alley?"
The "Old Third" he mentioned closed the door, leaned against the door panel and panted violently for a few times, with a lingering fear: "I was watching there, and I just saw that kid, I don't know how he found out!" The scarred man was shocked: "Did that kid catch you?" "No." The third man said quickly: "I reacted quickly and ran away immediately. That kid was very alert." "What a waste!" The scarred man cursed. He turned his head and smiled at a burly man next to him: "Brother Lu, I'm sorry to make you laugh." The burly man sat on the main seat. He held a wine bowl in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, and snorted without even raising his eyelids: "If you can't even handle this little thing, what else can I expect you to do in the future?" The scarred man gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Lu, as long as you help the three of us brothers, we brothers will be willing to work for you like cows and horses in the future." "If this deal is successful, we won't take a penny, and we will give it all to you, brother!" He had worked so hard to get in touch with the other party, and emptied his only savings for this. If this deal fails, all the previous investment will be wasted. How can he be willing? The burly man laughed. "I'm not that stingy!" He bit a chicken leg hard, chewing and mumbling: "I'll give you a lot of benefits after the matter is done, but you can't just deal with it casually to fool me." "Forget it, the night is long and dreams are many, let's do it tonight!" The scarred man was overjoyed: "That's great." He rubbed his hands and said: "Brother Lu, don't worry, we have already found out that the family is just an orphan and a widow, and they don't have any connections in the county." "As long as we act quickly, we guarantee that no one will know..." Bang! Before the scarred man finished speaking, the door was suddenly knocked open. The third brother standing at the door was caught off guard, and he felt like his back was hit hard by a sledgehammer. The whole person flew forward involuntarily and collided heavily with the scarred man. Instantly, people and horses fell to the ground! The next moment, a green shadow flashed in and slapped the burly man who had just stood up. The man who came was Zhang Yuan! The third brother thought he ran fast, but he never dreamed that Zhang Yuan would chase him to his lair and launch a surprise attack.
"Hey!" The burly man's reaction was very fast. Seeing Zhang Yuan attacking him at lightning speed, he immediately exhaled and raised his dark and rough palms to block. He tightly protected his face! Although the incident happened suddenly, the burly man was not afraid. Because he was also a martial artist who had entered the power, and he practiced the kung fu of horizontal training, so he was thick-skinned and good at close combat. Crack! But the burly man never expected that when his palms collided head-on with Zhang Yuan's palms, he felt a powerful force that could not be resisted suddenly broke through the tiger's mouth and ruthlessly blasted into his body. The two arms of the burly man were bent instantly, and at the same time, a terrible cracking sound was made. The broken bones even penetrated the flesh and blood was exposed! "Ah!" The burly man only had time to let out a half scream, and Zhang Yuan's second palm followed and hit his chest. The waves hit the shore, one after another! The burly man's scream was slapped back into his throat. He didn't know how many ribs on his chest were broken, and his chest was completely sunken. The whole person arched his body and flew backwards like a cooked shrimp. However, this is not over yet. Zhang Yuan's figure caught up like a ghost, and the third palm hit his forehead. Bang! The warrior who entered the strength was blown in the head on the spot, and he couldn't die any more. He was not a weak chicken. However, Zhang Yuan had a plan without intention. While launching a surprise attack, he continuously blessed himself with four times the strength and four times the agility, raising the power of the Jingtao Palm to a terrifying level. It was not an unjust death! After killing the burly man, Zhang Yuan looked at the other three. The scarred man and his companion fell to the ground, already terrified, and said in a trembling voice: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding..." Bang! Bang! Bang! Zhang Yuan raised his palm and smashed three skulls in succession. In the blink of an eye, the house was dead silent. Zhang Yuan glanced at the messy scene, stretched out his hand and gently pressed on the burly man's body. All living beings suffer, and only self-salvation can be achieved. If they cannot save themselves, then he will help them to transcend with great compassion!
In just a few breaths, the burly man turned into ashes. Then the second, the third... While transcending, Zhang Yuan silently chanted the mantra of rebirth: "Namo Amitabha, Dotagaduoye..." He felt. If there is also a Leshan Giant Buddha in this world, it would be okay for him to sit on it. —— PS: Some readers say that sacrificing people is cannibalism, which is not good. Although I think it is completely different, let’s change it to salvation.
