Chapter 5 Chapter 5 The Shame of Yufeng
Seeing that Huo Xiaoxie got rid of the bodyguard, picked up a remote place, turned a few turns, found a dark place and hid for a while, but there was no abnormality, the mysterious man didn't seem to be chasing him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Xiaoxie looked up at the sky, it should be more than an hour away, and when he arrived at Zishi, he was still a long way from the Ximen that he had agreed with Zheng Zedao, Fat Haowei and the others.Huo Xiaoxie didn't dare to delay, she got out, picked up the route that was easy to hide and went all the way.
Fourth Master Zhang, Mr. Zhou, and hook soldiers were fully armed and stood quietly on both sides of the door of the house. Even the leopard dogs were pulled into the house to prevent them from making noise in the courtyard.There were only two hook soldiers left in the courtyard, patrolling as if nothing had happened, as if everything was going well.
Fourth Master Zhang and the others withdrew their sentries and announced that they had captured the culprits. Wang Xing, Escort Kong, and housekeepers from all the courtyards all came to inquire who had been caught. Fourth Master Zhang and the others all explained that there were two thieves caught. Gao Ming, please don't bother them for the time being, and let them inquire after a night.What Zhang Siye said is reasonable, the people in the Wang family compound are not easy to force.
Wang Xing wanted to invite Fourth Master Zhang to dinner to celebrate his success, but Fourth Master Zhang refused all of them, and just asked the kitchen to bring some steamed buns, flower rolls, and soup, and everyone quickly ate in the courtyard, and then hid in the house. Light the candles and look like they are interrogating the captured thieves.
These people stood for a long time, and a hook soldier standing beside Zhang Siye asked in a low voice: "Zhang Siye, are the thieves really coming?"
Fourth Master Zhang nodded: "I will come! I will definitely come!"
Mr. Zhou also answered: "These thieves who came today are unusual. They seem to be looking for something in the Wang family's compound. They will definitely not let go of our courtyard."
The hook soldiers responded quickly and continued to be fully on guard.
Fourth Master Zhang snorted suddenly: "Here we come! Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be there!"
As soon as the words fell, the hook soldiers patrolling the courtyard shouted: "Who!"
With a wave of his hand, Fourth Master Zhang opened the door latch, and a whistle rang out, and a group of people quickly rushed out of the house. In the blink of an eye, hook soldiers were already all over the courtyard.
Fourth Master Zhang laughed loudly towards the roof: "Announce whoever comes! I won't catch nameless rats!"
"Hey! Hey!" A black figure jumped up from the dark corner of the courtyard, jumped onto the roof, squatted down and couldn't help but sneer.
Mr. Zhou shouted: "Set up the formation!"
The hook soldiers in the courtyard were ordered to throw the three-clawed hook up to the eaves, and when they pulled it up, the movement was extremely quick, and in a blink of an eye, a pair of black shadows surrounded them.The leopard dogs were tightly pulled by the hook soldiers, and they couldn't help roaring in a low voice, with fierce lights, and stared at the shadow on the roof. There was nothing to do. Before catching thieves in the Wang's compound, Fourth Master Zhang and the others were worried that the leopard dogs would disturb other people, so they didn't let them run amok. It was very unhappy.Seeing fourth master Zhang and the others forming a formation, these beasts were extremely excited when they knew that something serious was coming. As soon as the hook soldiers let go, the three leopard dogs would rush over and tear people apart!
The group of black shadows laughed and said: "Yufengshen catcher, Fourth Master Zhang? Hehe! Interesting! Today I came here specifically to find you, hehe, as expected, I came out very fast, it seems that someone is bound to come to you! Hehe , Interesting and interesting!"
Fourth Master Zhang scolded: "Little thief! How dare you come here to disturb me! It's your fault! It's a pity that you can come, but you can't run away! Who are you, report your name!"
The black shadow didn't move, a black gauze fluttered in the wind, like a cloud of black mist, and shouted: "My name is——Jia Ding Yi!"
Fourth Master Zhang and Mr. Zhou were slightly taken aback!Even though they have been staying in Fengtian in the northeast, the letters and reports from all over the country have never been interrupted. It is very clear where any major crimes and robbers have occurred. No one has ever seen the real body of the mysterious character A, Ding and B who are right by the thief!I didn't expect to run into each other in the Wang family compound!
Zhang Siye and Mr. Zhou looked at each other, and Zhang Siye snorted: "A, D, B! You are only stealing other thieves' stolen goods on Canton Road! You have offended many people and thieves! Why are you here today! Are you looking for what!"
A, Dingyi said hehe: "You can come, why can't I? What am I looking for, hehe, there is no need to tell you!"
Fourth Master Zhang shouted: "A, D, and B! I think you are incompatible with other thieves. As long as you tell me what you came to Wangjiabao, I can let you go!"
A, Ding and Yi sneered and said: "Hey, no need, I just want to learn the brilliant trick of Yufengshen!"
"How courageous!" Fourth Master Zhang yelled loudly, and blew a whistle from his mouth. This was the order to activate the thief-catching formation and attack.
As soon as the whistle sounded, the hook soldiers who had already climbed onto the roof walked like flying, some jumped onto the wall, and some approached A, D, and B for half a step, with the three-clawed hook gleaming in their hands, engulfing the sky with a murderous look.
Fourth Master Zhang shouted again: "Chews! Give it to me!" As he spoke, he pointed to the stone table under the eaves.
With a flick of his hand, the hook soldier released the three leopard dogs.The beasts were extremely familiar with Fourth Master Zhang's instructions. They ran a few steps along the direction of Fourth Master Zhang, jumped onto the stone table, jumped four feet into the air, and pulled the roof tiles down one after another. Jumped onto the roof and rushed towards Jia, Ding and Yi, attacking in three directions: upper, middle and lower.
A, Ding and Yi called out gloomyly: "What a beast!"
A black glow shot out from the black shadow of A, Ding and Yi, drew an arc in the air, and fell straight down, wrapping around the neck of a leopard dog rushing forward, and then the black glow retracted, the leopard dog The dog was pulled up by Heimang in the air and thrown to the side.
The other two leopard dogs did not back down at all, without any fear, they still rushed towards A, D, and B. These animals became tyrannical, and they would fight for their lives even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire!
Fourth Master Zhang shouted: "Big Chew!" It turned out that the leopard dog that rushed to the front, Zhang Siye called it Big Chew, and it was slightly smaller than the second and third chewers. Among them, the third chewer was the largest .
Mr. Zhou shouted at the same time: "Let go!"
"Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua!" repeated loud noises, seven or eight three-clawed hooks, divided into two batches, shot at Jia, Ding and B overwhelmingly!In the dark night, the three-claw hook opened and closed with a click, and the cold light flashed!This is the must-kill move of Zhang Siye's hook soldier's seven-net Luohan formation. The three-clawed hooks came forward in two batches. The thieves avoided the first batch of hooks, but it was difficult to avoid the second batch. The batch can still escape, the leopard dog has already pounced on it, and the rope pulling the three-claw hook can still be entangled, just like pulling a big net in the air, as long as the hook soldier flicks his wrist, the rope can still entangle people!If you still want to break free again, there are more than a dozen three-claw hooks in the hands of the remaining hook soldiers waiting behind you. Even if you are a god of Daluo, you will not escape this calamity!How many famous thieves have fallen under the seven nets of arhats arrested by Yufeng God, it is really tight!
A, Ding and Yi saw the vicious trick of catching thieves, and they were shocked in their hearts: "It's amazing!", and they couldn't help shouting "Hey" in their mouths!
The West Fourth Attic of the Wang Family Courtyard is a three-story octagonal attic in the west of the central part of the Wang Family Courtyard. It is not prominent among the buildings in the Wang Family Courtyard, on the contrary, it looks a bit dilapidated.
The third aunt and Qingliu walked quickly like in a room on the first floor of the attic. This attic is very strange. There is a large round pillar in the room, which goes straight to the top. A circular room, with no entrance, looked very solid.
The third aunt walked into the room, but Wang Xing was nowhere to be seen, she frowned and asked: "Qingliu, where is Master Wang Xing?"
Qingliu hurriedly said: "It should be on the third floor."
The third aunt snorted too coldly: "What kind of tricks is Wang Xing playing! Qingliu! Has the feng shui pearl sunk?"
Qingliu glanced at the big pillar in the room and said, "It's already sunk!"
The third aunt snorted again, and quickly walked towards the stairs on one side.
The two women took the stairs to the third floor. The room on the third floor had nothing but a stone platform in the middle. Although there were windows around it, it was just a decoration. It couldn't be seen from the outside. The room was sealed with bricks and stones. .
The third aunt raised her eyes and couldn't help being surprised. She saw five people standing on the third floor.One is Wang Xing, which is normal, but standing next to Wang Xing is a young girl with shoulder-length short hair and emerald green clothes. She looks gentle and delicate, just like a beauty walking out of a painting. The third aunt naturally doesn't recognize it. This girl is Lin Wan, Wang Quan's junior sister; next to the girl, a white-haired old man was sitting in a recliner, his eyes were confused and his expression was sluggish. The martial artist should have carried the old man up. This old man is well recognized by the third aunt. He is Wang Xing's father, Wang Quan. Wang Quan has been living in a private house. The third aunt and everyone in the Wang family compound know that he is sick. Awesome, never leave the house, never meet people, why come here today?
The third aunt was too suspicious: "Why is this old man Wang Quan here? And who is that little girl next to him? She looks very pretty. Could it be the new love of this cheap man Wang Xing? Humph!"
Seeing that the third aunt was coming, Wang Xing took a step forward to greet her, and said very happily: "Qing Hong, you are here!"
The third aunt ignored Wang Xing, but said with a frosty face: "Master, what are you doing here?"
The third concubine could be impatient with Wang Xing, but she knew how to be decent. She walked past Wang Xing and came to Wang Quanquan to say hello. , said hoarsely: "Okay! Okay! I'm okay! You young couple, live a good life, don't be like enemies when you meet."
The third aunt replied to Wang Quan's words: "Father, take care of your health. Wang Xing and I are fine. Father, you are not in good health. Why are you here so late? Don't catch the cold."
Wang Quan said hoarsely: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, today, there are distinguished guests, there are distinguished guests..."
Wang Xing obviously loved the third aunt very much, and he was not angry at all. He took his father Wang Quan's words and said: "Hey! Isn't today a thief? The master who just built this attic... the apprentice came, so he brought her here Take a look." Wang Xing looked sideways at Lin Wan, as an introduction to the third aunt.
The third aunt was shocked again, thinking to herself: "Since the Zishuisuo golden array was built, I have never seen a craftsman come here. Why did everything happen today? Or is it just a little girl? It's strange! "
Lin Wan stepped forward with a smile, and smiled at the third aunt: "Third wife, my name is Lin Wan. I'm really sorry to disturb the third wife at such a late hour. Third wife, please forgive me."
Lin Wan's voice was very sweet, and it was very comfortable to listen to. The third aunt originally saw Lin Wan, who was more handsome than herself, and felt a little jealous in her heart, but when she heard Lin Wan's words, she felt that she was very kind and cute, and she would lose her temper not come out.
The third aunt squeezed out a smile: "Ah, it's sister Lin Wan. I never expected that such a lovely person like you would be the builder of the Zishuisuo golden array."
Lin Wan smiled and said, "Third Wife, it was my master who built it, not me. I was very young when I built this attic."
Wang Xing said, "Qing Hong, it's rare for Master Lin to come here. You can raise the Feng Shui beads and let Master Lin see what's wrong in the mechanism. I wanted to talk about it tomorrow morning, but I'm still worried about causing trouble. Come and have a look as soon as possible."
The third aunt said: "Oh! Sister Lin Wan, ah, Master Lin, don't you even know how to raise the box?"
Lin Wan said gently: "Third wife, you are the only person in the world who can open and raise the box, and I can't help it."
The third aunt listened to Lin Wan's words, she was humble everywhere, and she didn't show off her skills at all. She thought to herself: "This Lin Wan is a likable girl. If I were a man, I would probably fall in love with her."
The third aunt said: "Okay then, I'll make a fool of myself. Qingliu, lock the stairs."
Qingliu responded, and went back to the stairs that came up, pulled a wrench at the top of the stairs, and there was a rumbling sound, a stone slab fell from the wall, covering the top of the stairs.
The third aunt walked to the stone platform in the room, took out a pair of leather gloves from her belt, put them on her hands, and pressed the four corners of the stone platform with her palm, making a few clicks, as if there was a mechanism opening and closing.The third aunt held the two corners of the stone platform and twisted it, and the entire top of the stone platform was turned away, revealing a dark hole.
The third aunt put her hand into the hole, her face was serious, she kept fiddled with something inside, chanting something, as if she was giving a count.After fiddling like this for a while, I heard continuous rattling and rattling, and the ground shook slightly.
The third aunt shouted: "Okay!" She pulled out her hand and returned the stone platform to its original shape. With a click, the stone platform slowly sank to the ground, and when it sank to the ground, it snapped. With a sound, the entire ground around the stone platform was cut off, and then sank down again, sinking one foot high and low, split in two, and moved to both sides, leaving only the circular stone platform in the middle, which continued to descend , The sound of water came, and a sweet and sour taste gushed out from the ground.
At this time, the people in the room had already stepped aside, their expressions were calm and not surprised, obviously this was not the first time they saw it.
"Puff puff puff puff", the sound of tumbling water was getting louder, everyone moved closer, and saw a large square hole where the ground subsided, and there were lavender water splashes tumbling in the hole, and the organic spring sound came from the water, gradually The round stone platform came out of the water again, rising higher and higher, with a square stone box underneath, and when it was fully raised to a height higher than the original one, it stopped with a bang.
The third aunt took a step forward, took out the throwing knife, stabbed the side of the stone box, and there were a few slaps, the side wall of the stone box was opened, and the brilliance inside rose, colorful, gradually revealing a stone box, A fist-sized orb in a glass container.The orb is completely exposed, the radiance is even stronger, and the colorful waves in the bead flow, as if the universe is hidden inside.
The third aunt looked at Wei Wei slightly infatuated, and said slowly: "This is Feng Shui beads."
Lin Wan wasn't surprised, she looked at Zhu Zi and smiled, "Sure enough, she's such a treasure."
Wang Xing said: "Master Lin, what's wrong with this Zishui Suojin?"
Lin Wan didn't answer, but walked around the pothole slowly, squatted down, looked at the purple water in the pit, and said: "There is no problem with the mechanisms and equipment, they are very strong, but these are just fancy. The Zishui Locking Gold Formation looks complicated on the outside, but the potion in the pit is the most anti-theft thing, after so many years, it seems that the potion has almost lost its effectiveness."
The third aunt was very puzzled, and asked: "The potion has failed? I always thought it was poisonous acid, how could it fail?"
Lin Wan said: "Yes. Zishui Suojin is a kind of anti-theft formation. It relies on a large jar filled with liquid medicine several people deep, and sinks the treasure at the bottom of the jar. If someone wants to steal the treasure, he must sneak into the jar." The bottom of the tank can only be taken out after cracking the mechanism at the bottom of the tank. If the potion is poisonous, or the water is strong acid or strong alkali, then no one can stay in the potion for a long time, otherwise they will die. The old man Wang Quan has the virtue of good life, so we The potion here is not so vicious, it is an anesthetic potion, people will not die if they jump into the water, but once they jump, they will be paralyzed and unable to move."
The third aunt asked: "Master Lin, has the effect of the anesthetic faded after a long time?"
Lin Wan stood up, and said softly: "Yes, that's the bad thing about anesthetic water. After a long time, the anesthetic power will dissipate, and it's no different from ordinary water."
The third aunt finally understood, and said, "So that's the case! Then Master Lin, what should we do now?"
Lin Wan said: "It's very simple, just reapply the medicine."
Wang Xing and Lin Wan secretly looked at each other, Wang Xing smiled slightly, but didn't speak.
Wang Quan sat listlessly at the side, flashed a smile, but immediately recovered, coughed, and said, "Master Lin, I will trouble you."
Lin Wan smiled and said, "No trouble, I'm here just for this. Hehe."
After listening to Lin Wan's explanation, the third aunt had long believed what Lin Wan said, and thanked Lin Wan: "Thank you, Master Lin!"
Lin Wan nodded in return, and took out a fist-sized, round, gray pill from the satchel behind her, turned it around in her hand, and threw it into the pit. The pill floated on the water and split into several pieces. Gradually, it sank into the water and disappeared.
Lin Wan said: "Okay! Third wife, you can sink the feng shui beads. I heard that there are thieves in the Wang family compound, so it's not very safe to just lock it outside."
The third aunt turned her head and said to Qingliu: "Qingliu, sink the feng shui beads again." As she spoke, she stepped forward and closed the stone box containing the feng shui beads.
Qingliu said yes, walked to one side of the wall, pressed on a green brick on the wall, and the rumbling mechanism in the room made a sound again, and the feng shui beads fell into the water. After a while, everything in the room returned to its original state, only the exposed The round stone platform on the ground is wet.
Back here to the vicious fight between Master Zhang and Dingyi, Dingyi snorted secretly: "Excellent!" He also yelled "Hey!"
Seeing the three-clawed hook rushing in, Jia Ding Yi's body was slammed, and then he heard the sound of crackling and shattering. A big hole was stepped on the roof by Jia Ding Yi, and with a bang, Jia Ding Yi fell into the room.The black light waved by A, Ding and Yi also immediately let go of the leopard dog's neck, but the momentum remained undiminished, and threw the leopard dog's big chew off the room, and the big chew fell firmly on the ground, trying to stand up reluctantly, but His legs were weak, and he fell to the ground again, seemingly dying.
The sound of bricks and tiles falling in the room continued, but the lights were turned off, and the room was pitch black.
Two strokes of the three-clawed hook skimmed where A, D, and B were originally located, and all fell through.The remaining two leopard dogs yelled frantically, looked around the hole where A, D, and B fell, and were about to jump down to chase after them.
Fourth Master Zhang shouted: "Chew! Don't move!"
The leopard dog whined and roared, but still obeyed Zhang Siye's order, stopped and stared fiercely at the cave.
Seeing A, D, and B fall into the room, Zhang Siye escaped the killing move, and injured his own leopard dog, with veins all over his head, and said loudly: "Surround the house! Let's see where he can go." !"
The Hook Soldiers got the order and jumped off the roof one after another, leaving a few to guard the top of the roof, and immediately surrounded the room with water.
Fourth Master Zhang roared wildly: "A, D, B, you hurt my leopard dog, today I want your life!"
Fourth Master Zhang turned to Mr. Zhou and snorted secretly: "Mr. Zhou, I'm going to kill today!"
Mr. Zhou didn't speak, just nodded silently.
Fourth Master Zhang touched a metal utensil from his waist and put it in his right hand. It was shining brightly. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a glove with metal claws. The palms were connected by organic springs, stretching the palms into tiger claws. .Fourth Master Zhang stretched his fingers slightly, only to hear the crisp sound of the machine spring clicking, it seemed that there was a very strong spring pulling his fingertips, which could strengthen the force of grasping!If Fourth Master Zhang grabs it, Fourth Master Zhang's finger force plus the tension of the spring, the sharp claws on the five fingers will be locked tightly, and one claw can break bones and cut flesh!
Fourth Master Zhang took a step forward and yelled at the room: "A, Ding and B! Get out! I will compete with you!"
"Hey! Hey!" A gloomy voice came from the window in the room, "Master Zhang, what are you wearing?"
Fourth Master Zhang scolded: "This is an iron tiger claw, specially used to crush your dog's head!"
"Hey! Great! This iron tiger claw, I want it!" said A, Ding and B.
Fourth Master Zhang was slightly taken aback, what does this A, Ding and B mean, what does he want?Could it be the iron tiger claw in his hand?
With a "bang", the window of the room where A, Ding and B were located was suddenly pushed open vigorously, the walls were smashed and the glass burst all over the place.
"Not good!" Fourth Master Zhang yelled and was about to step forward.
I saw a black shadow swaying from the window, sliding on the ground like a shadow, and rushing towards Fourth Master Zhang in a hurry.
The hook soldiers were well-trained, and without waiting for Zhang Siye's order, a few three-clawed hooks had already flown there, and the black shadow was sticking to the ground, swimming like a loach in a serpentine shape, extremely fast, several three-clawed hooks The hook hit the ground with a loud bang, but it failed to touch the black shadow at all, while the black shadow slipped through the gap under the rope, made a few bends, and in the blink of an eye, it was less than ten steps in front of Fourth Master Zhang.
"Ah!" Fourth Master Zhang and Mr. Zhou jumped back a step, to leave more room for themselves.
"Tug Tut Tut" threw the three-claw hook at the black shadow several times, but the black shadow walked close to the ground, just before the hook soldier's feet and under the rope.The hook soldier uses the hook, which is invincible in mid-air, can advance and retreat, the three-claw hook can fly all over the sky, can't catch people, and can be pulled back quickly, but it is very awkward to deal with this kind of fast serpentine A, D, and B on the ground , A slight mistake will hurt one's own people.
A, Ding and Yi crawled quickly on the ground, but they used the crouching method. The agility and speed of crouching has exceeded Zhang Siye's estimation.
Zhang Siye's back felt cold, and he backed away in secret surprise: "A, Ding and Yi's Fuxing method can be so exquisite, I have never seen it before, it is simply not human!"
Fourth Master Zhang jumped two steps away, just as he stood up, A, Ding and Yi rushed to the feet of Fourth Master Zhang.
Fourth Master Zhang roared, raised his iron tiger claws and grabbed A, Dingyi on the ground. A, Dingyi dodged by dodging sideways.With a click, the iron tiger's claws plunged into the ground, and a large piece of brick was dug out with one claw.Mr. Zhang Siye and Mr. Zhou both knew in their hearts that it was Zhang Siye and the hook soldiers who were attacking in ambush. The iron tiger claws were extremely powerful, but when they bent down to attack the enemy on the ground, they lost their skills. , Even if there is a move, I can't use it!
Zhang Siye missed one blow and wanted to attack again.A, Ding and Yi took advantage of Fourth Master Zhang's body to lie down, making it inconvenient to retreat, and slid close to Fourth Master Zhang's feet and slid behind him.Fourth Master Zhang felt cold, knowing that A, Ding and Yi went around the empty door behind him, and only one knife would kill him, so he sighed in his heart: "My life is over!"
A, Ding and Yi didn't kill him, they circled around from behind Fourth Master Zhang, stuck to his leg, and together suddenly, a black shadow wrapped around Fourth Master Zhang's waist, two black lights shot out, entwined Fourth Master Zhang's left and right forearms held Fourth Master Zhang and pulled the iron tiger claws to his waist.Fourth Master Zhang struggled, but he felt that the joints of his arms were being pushed hard, and all the strength was drawn away.
Fourth Master Zhang yelled, and tried his best to get rid of Jia Dingyi, but it was too late, the iron tiger claw was loosened, and the iron tiger claw was instantly taken off by Jia Dingyi, in front of his eyes. In a flash, he was included in the black veil on Jia Ding Yi's body.
A, Ding and Yi stole Fourth Master Zhang's iron tiger claws, and like snakes, they slipped away from Fourth Master Zhang, slid to the side, a black awn curled up on the wall, pulled and stretched, and slammed onto the wall.The position where Jia, Ding and Yi are located has gotten rid of the encirclement of the hook soldiers, and has become a confrontational situation, which can be attacked when advancing, and defending when retreating.
A, Ding and B squatted on the wall, sneering: "Master Zhang, you are really amazing, I admire you! Hehe, it's a pity that today, I only want your iron tiger claws!"
The hook soldiers rushed over, and the leopard dog also jumped off the roof, rushing towards A, Ding and B, roaring!The hook soldier was about to throw the three-claw hook again, Zhang Siye stretched out his hand to stop it, and shouted: "Slow down!"
The hook soldier was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Zhang Siye was going to do.The leopard dog took a quicker step, with its front paws already grasping the wall. He was very unwilling to listen to Zhang Siye's order, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he shook his huge head, stared at A, Ding and B above, and growled in a messy voice.
Zhang Siye shouted at Jia Dingyi: "A Dingyi! You could have killed me just now! Why didn't you!"
A, Dingyi and Yi laughed strangely: "Fourth Master Zhang, hehe! It would be boring to kill you! Hehe! Hehe! Hehe!"
Fourth Master Zhang continued to shout: "I lost to you, I am convinced! I only ask you one thing, why do you want my iron tiger claws!"
A, Ding and Yi sneered: "I want to collect four iron objects named after tigers in the Wang family compound. Naturally, your iron tiger claws are just what I want! Hehe!"
Fourth Master Zhang shouted: "What! What does this mean?"
A, Ding and Yi sneered and said: "Then you can't control it! Hehe! Fourth Master Zhang, we will meet later!"
A Ding Yi swayed, and a black light shot out, entangled the eaves in the distance, and the whole person flew out, leaving only the hehe sneer, and disappeared immediately!
A leading hook soldier came to report: "Master Zhang! Let's chase him or not!"
Fourth Master Zhang remained silent, turned around and walked into the courtyard.
The hook soldier was puzzled, and followed closely. Mr. Zhou took a step forward, grabbed the hook soldier's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to ask! We've already been defeated, so there's no need to chase any more!"
Fourth Master Zhang walked quickly back to the house alone, closed the door, stood still for a moment, suddenly sighed, punched the wall with his fist, and there was a loud noise, dust flying off the roof.
Fourth Master Zhang said in a miserable voice: "We lost, we lost again! We lost to Yan Jingtian, and then we lost to Jia, Ding and Yi! We lost the Linglong mirror, injured the leopard dog, and lost the iron tiger claws! Zhang Si, Zhang Si! Are you still here?" Do you have the face to ask Yufengshen to arrest the ninth generation heir! Alas!"
Outside Zhang Siye's house, all the hook soldiers stood quietly by the door. One hook soldier couldn't help but yelled in a low voice: "Zhang Siye! It's all because of our incompetence!" Two lines of hot tears rolled out, and he fell to his knees with a puff. Knocked to the ground, weeping bitterly.
Crash, clatter, suddenly all the hook soldiers in the yard knelt together. These hook soldiers are all brave men who are one in a million. Men don't cry easily, because they haven't reached the place where they are sad. At this moment, they can't help it. All the shame and humiliation she suffered brought tears to her eyes.The leopard dog walked into the crowd, no longer vicious, fell on the ground, lowered its head and ears, purred lowly, and looked very sad.
Although Mr. Zhou didn't kneel down, he stood by the door with his head bowed, his eyes were red, and he didn't say a word.
With a bang, the door was opened, Fourth Master Zhang's eyes were red, and he pointed at the hook soldiers kneeling on the ground and cursed: "Get out of here! Can't you bear this grievance! Do we still want to catch the thief? Answer Me, do you want it?"
All the hook soldiers shouted in unison: "Yes!" Crash, clatter, everyone stood up quickly!For a moment, there was a murderous look in the courtyard!
Fourth Master Zhang shouted: "Okay! This is the majesty of Yufengshen catcher! Brothers, cheer up! Today, even if the Wang family compound is turned upside down! Even if we all die here! It can't be broken again!" The prestige of Yufengshen catcher!"
Everyone shouted in unison: "Live and die together with Fourth Master!"
Third Concubine, Qingliu, Wang Xing, Wang Quan, Lin Wan and others left the West Fourth Attic, Third Concubine raised her eyes to look into the distance, and said coldly, "Why is there such a commotion in the courtyard by Fourth Master Zhang? Is there another thief coming?"
Wang Xing frowned and said, "Shouldn't it. Didn't you already catch two? There are also thieves?"
The third aunt turned around and said to Wang Quan: "Father! You should go back quickly! I don't think things are over tonight."
Wang Quan said sickly: "Oh, how can there be a thief! I haven't seen a thief in many years!"
Wang Xing rushed to Wang Quan's side, and said earnestly: "Father! You should go back quickly, I'm here to greet you, Daddy, don't worry."
Wang Quan said: "That's fine, that's fine! Wang Xing, if there are real thieves, you can put some more money outside, and let these thieves take it away. Cough, a big tree attracts wind, and you can avoid disaster if you lose money."
Wang Xing agreed, and said to Lin Wan: "Master Lin, you are a distinguished guest, so you can stay in the old man's private house."
Lin Wan smiled gently and said, "Okay."
The two martial artists lifted Wang Quan up and were about to leave, when they suddenly heard the third aunt next to him shout: "Who!"
Everyone turned their heads quickly, and the two throwing knives in the hands of the third aunt had already shot towards the darkness on one side!
A, Ding and Yi stole Fourth Master Zhang's iron tiger claws, and like snakes, they slipped away from Fourth Master Zhang, slid to the side, a black awn curled up on the wall, pulled and stretched, and slammed onto the wall.The position where Jia, Ding and Yi are located has gotten rid of the encirclement of the hook soldiers, and has become a confrontational situation, which can be attacked when advancing, and defending when retreating.
A, Ding and B squatted on the wall, sneering: "Master Zhang, you are really amazing, I admire you! Hehe, it's a pity that today, I only want your iron tiger claws!"
The hook soldiers rushed over, and the leopard dog also jumped off the roof, rushing towards A, Ding and B, roaring!The hook soldier was about to throw the three-claw hook again, Zhang Siye stretched out his hand to stop it, and shouted: "Slow down!"
The hook soldier was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Zhang Siye was going to do.The leopard dog took a quicker step, with its front paws already grasping the wall. He was very unwilling to listen to Zhang Siye's order, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he shook his huge head, stared at A, Ding and B above, and growled in a messy voice.
Zhang Siye shouted at Jia Dingyi: "A Dingyi! You could have killed me just now! Why didn't you!"
A, Dingyi and Yi laughed strangely: "Fourth Master Zhang, hehe! It would be boring to kill you! Hehe! Hehe! Hehe!"
Fourth Master Zhang continued to shout: "I lost to you, I am convinced! I only ask you one thing, why do you want my iron tiger claws!"
A, Ding and Yi sneered: "I want to collect four iron objects named after tigers in the Wang family compound. Naturally, your iron tiger claws are just what I want! Hehe!"
Fourth Master Zhang shouted: "What! What does this mean?"
A, Ding and Yi sneered and said: "Then you can't control it! Hehe! Fourth Master Zhang, we will meet later!"
A Ding Yi swayed, and a black light shot out, entangled the eaves in the distance, and the whole person flew out, leaving only the hehe sneer, and disappeared immediately!
A leading hook soldier came to report: "Master Zhang! Let's chase him or not!"
Fourth Master Zhang remained silent, turned around and walked into the courtyard.
The hook soldier was puzzled, and followed closely. Mr. Zhou took a step forward, grabbed the hook soldier's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to ask! We've already been defeated, so there's no need to chase any more!"
Fourth Master Zhang walked quickly back to the house alone, closed the door, stood still for a moment, suddenly sighed, punched the wall with his fist, and there was a loud noise, dust flying off the roof.
Fourth Master Zhang said in a miserable voice: "We lost, we lost again! We lost to Yan Jingtian, and then we lost to Jia, Ding and Yi! We lost the Linglong mirror, injured the leopard dog, and lost the iron tiger claws! Zhang Si, Zhang Si! Are you still here?" Do you have the face to ask Yufengshen to arrest the ninth generation heir! Alas!"
Outside Zhang Siye's house, all the hook soldiers stood quietly by the door. One hook soldier couldn't help but yelled in a low voice: "Zhang Siye! It's all because of our incompetence!" Two lines of hot tears rolled out, and he fell to his knees with a puff. Knocked to the ground, weeping bitterly.
Crash, clatter, suddenly all the hook soldiers in the yard knelt together. These hook soldiers are all brave men who are one in a million. Men don't cry easily, because they haven't reached the place where they are sad. At this moment, they can't help it. All the shame and humiliation she suffered brought tears to her eyes.The leopard dog walked into the crowd, no longer vicious, fell on the ground, lowered its head and ears, purred lowly, and looked very sad.
Although Mr. Zhou didn't kneel down, he stood by the door with his head bowed, his eyes were red, and he didn't say a word.
With a bang, the door was opened, Fourth Master Zhang's eyes were red, and he pointed at the hook soldiers kneeling on the ground and cursed: "Get out of here! Can't you bear this grievance! Do we still want to catch the thief? Answer Me, do you want it?"
All the hook soldiers shouted in unison: "Yes!" Crash, clatter, everyone stood up quickly!For a moment, there was a murderous look in the courtyard!
Fourth Master Zhang shouted: "Okay! This is the majesty of Yufengshen catcher! Brothers, cheer up! Today, even if the Wang family compound is turned upside down! Even if we all die here! It can't be broken again!" The prestige of Yufengshen catcher!"
Everyone shouted in unison: "Live and die together with Fourth Master!"
Third Concubine, Qingliu, Wang Xing, Wang Quan, Lin Wan and others left the West Fourth Attic, Third Concubine raised her eyes to look into the distance, and said coldly, "Why is there such a commotion in the courtyard by Fourth Master Zhang? Is there another thief coming?"
Wang Xing frowned and said, "Shouldn't it. Didn't you already catch two? There are also thieves?"
The third aunt turned around and said to Wang Quan: "Father! You should go back quickly! I don't think things are over tonight."
Wang Quan said sickly: "Oh, how can there be a thief! I haven't seen a thief in many years!"
Wang Xing rushed to Wang Quan's side, and said earnestly: "Father! You should go back quickly, I'm here to greet you, Daddy, don't worry."
Wang Quan said: "That's fine, that's fine! Wang Xing, if there are real thieves, you can put some more money outside, and let these thieves take it away. Cough, a big tree attracts wind, and you can avoid disaster if you lose money."
Wang Xing agreed, and said to Lin Wan: "Master Lin, you are a distinguished guest, so you can stay in the old man's private house."
Lin Wan smiled gently and said, "Okay."
The two martial artists lifted Wang Quan up and were about to leave, when they suddenly heard the third aunt next to him shout: "Who!"
Everyone turned their heads quickly, and the two throwing knives in the hands of the third aunt had already shot towards the darkness on one side!
The flying knife shot into the grass in the darkness, and there were two soft chirping sounds, as if it had pierced into the ground, but there was nothing unusual in the grass.
The third aunt jumped up and was about to go to the grass to search for traces, Wang Xing hurriedly pulled the third aunt back: "Qinghong, where are you going!"
The third aunt kept looking at the grass, and said displeasedly: "There was movement in the grass just now, what if it was a thief!"
Wang Xing said: "Qing Hong, don't be suspicious! Just a little trouble, you are so neurotic! If there are thieves, after you go through these two swords, why don't you run out? Even if there are thieves, let's hurry up together Escort daddy back first! Look at you today, how can you look like a woman, even if you are catching a thief, it can't be my wife who goes in person!"
Wang Quan also said out of breath: "Don't go! It's dangerous!"
After all, Wang Xing is her husband, no matter how arrogant the third aunt is, she must be polite in front of everyone.The third aunt had no choice but to stare at the grass for a few times, but there was still no abnormality, thinking: "I made a mistake? It made me dizzy tonight, oh..."
Qingliu whispered next to her: "Qing...the third wife, maybe a stray cat in the yard passed by..."
三姨太瞟了青柳一眼，青柳把后面的话都憋了回去。三姨太说道：“青柳，你还是带着武师在此值守！眼睛瞪大一点！野猫也不准靠近阁楼！”
三姨太转身对王兴和王全说道：“老爷！爹爹！是我不对，咱们这就走吧！我就是总觉得这里气氛古怪的很。”
这一行人匆匆而去，只留下青柳和负责此地巡视的武师继续在此巡视。
等这一行人走远，青柳重新回到西四阁楼中以后，草丛中才微微一动，似乎里面有什么东西爬开。
躲在草丛中的正是火小邪，三姨太的飞刀来的狠毒，火小邪根本无法躲开，好在三姨太只听到细微的声音，不能确定草丛中是什么东西，纯属乱发刀，才没有命中火小邪的要害。但尽管如此，两把飞刀中的一把从火小邪身侧扎入土中，而另一把则将火小邪大腿外侧撩开一道血口，才扎入泥地。
原来火小邪逃出了三姨太的院子，向西门摸去，一路算是顺利，眼看着西门就在前方不远时，听到院中有豹子犬狂吼大叫。火小邪心惊，怎么张四爷他们又闹起来了？这次又是抓哪个贼？火小邪自然不知道，张四爷碰上的人是甲丁乙。
尽管张四爷不是抓自己，火小邪还是有些心惊肉跳，张四爷的厉害，火小邪想想就觉得害怕，若是他被张四爷盯上，趁早举手投降才算上策。
火小邪提起精神，捡着暗处的草丛前行。西门附近比较僻静，不象前院规矩齐整，人丁众多，有很多道路沟渠两边，都长着厚厚一层杂草，倒是极好的藏身之地。
等火小邪来到西四阁楼附近，本想快速绕过这栋不起眼的三层小楼，但隐隐觉得地下有震动出来，仔细感觉，这震动就是从身边的阁楼中发出的。火小邪心想：“莫非这栋楼有古怪？该不会是三姨太藏风水珠的地方吧。”
火小邪略一思量，还是绕了西四阁楼一圈，躲在门口边的草丛中，打算看看三姨太是否就在此处。火小邪本以为所在之处漆黑一片，又有杂草遮挡，就如躲在三姨太的床底，轻易不会让人发现，可略等片刻，见到三姨太、王兴、王全、林婉等人从楼中出来，还是大吃一惊，怎么会这么多人？
火小邪沉得住气，伏在草丛中屏息静气，一动不动，所以三姨太刚出门的时候，并没有发现他的存在。
而火小邪向三姨太他们打量时，却见到三姨太身后的林婉突然转头向着他的方向微微一笑！
火小邪本来就觉得林婉这个貌美如花的妙龄少女和三姨太、王兴、王全他们一起进出，万分古怪，林婉此时向他突然一笑，尽管目光温柔，表情平易，还是把火小邪惊的心中狂跳，脑袋赶忙向下方一躲，身子一动，还是触动了杂草，发出沙沙之声，草丛微动。
火小邪刚暗喊了一声糟糕，三姨太的飞镖已经射出。
火小邪腿上吃痛，知道三姨太已经察觉到草丛中有东西。火小邪中了一刀，并没有慌乱的立即起身奔逃，而是咬紧牙关，发誓此时就算天上下刀子也不能乱动，一动身逃走就绝对让三姨太确定有人躲着。
火小邪在奉天刚入荣行的时候，有一次被安排去偷客栈的货房，本来躲的好好的，但有人诈他，火小邪当时以为被人发现，想躲开一边，反而暴露了行踪。火小邪这种吃亏吃的多了，才明白做贼的人，只要不是被人确定藏身之处，就必须以不变应万变，无论外面的人怎么吆喝，都不可被骗住。
民间防贼，咋呼着骗贼算是一招，比如有些养鸡的人家，经常被偷鸡贼骚扰，为了防偷鸡贼，主人晚上出来巡视的时候，往往突然冲着黑暗中大喊一声“出来！看到你了！敢偷鸡！看我不打死你！”类似这样的骗贼话语，实际上他什么都没有发现。有胆小的偷鸡贼就会吓的魂飞魄散，真以为主人发现，跳出来逃走，露出踪迹，结果让主人抓住暴打送官。
尽管吓唬偷鸡贼和火小邪目前所处情况千差万别，但也有异曲同工之处。
三姨太和王兴、王全、林婉他们走了以后，火小邪才终于一块大石落地，知道自己堪堪躲过一劫。
火小邪从草丛中快速爬向一边，捡了个角落处停下，才感到大腿的刀伤疼的厉害！火小邪撕开裤腿，检查自己的腿伤，本以为伤的不重，谁知伸手一摸，才发现伤口处已经肿起老高，伤口中流出的血腥臭的很，一按下去，疼的钻心，绝对不是普通的皮外伤！
火小邪眉头一皱，暗叫：“这火辣辣的疼痛，不象平常！看来那飞刀刀刃上淬了厉害的毒药！好狠毒的三姨太！操他祖宗十八代的！”
火小邪所猜不错，三姨太的飞刀都是淬过了毒药的。旧时练飞刀的高手，大多都会在飞刀上淬毒，以增强飞刀伤人的威力，用于实战之中，绝不是武侠小说中描述的只有阴险下流的小人才用带毒飞刀。中国武术，说是强身健体，但实际上仍算是杀人夺命的生存之道，真正的江湖绿林人士，一招制敌的招术说出来大家可能不信，全是锁喉、撩阴、挖眼、插肋这些极为阴毒狠辣的法子，飞刀带毒都算客气的！
火小邪强忍疼痛，拔了几根韧草扎紧大腿根部，阻止毒素上移。可惜伤在大腿外侧，无法用嘴吸毒，只好用手拼命挤压伤口两侧，以求挤出毒血，减缓伤势。火小邪牙齿咬的咯蹦做响，不出一声，挤了一段时间毒血，直到累的头昏眼花方才停下，整条大腿逐渐动弹不得，疼的如同这条腿被放在炭火上炙烤一样！
火小邪暗叹：“完了！没准这条腿会废掉！就算不死，今天晚上也别想走动了！”
火小邪身子往角落中一靠，无计可施，恨不得别人，只怪自己本事不济。火小邪疼的脸上抽搐不止，干脆把眼睛一闭，默默忍受。
火小邪正忍着疼痛，耳边却西索一阵轻响，火小邪一愣，赶忙睁开眼睛，一只洁白纤细的小手已经按住他的肩头，温柔的女子声音细细传来：“别动，别出声，我是来帮你的。”
火小邪本已翻身而起，但听到这细软的声音，竟心中一松，坐了下来。
火小邪转头一看，双眼发直，他身边的人竟是和三姨太他们从西四阁楼中一起出来的俊俏少女，她一双美目，饱含爱怜之情，秋波流转，看着火小邪象是看着自己的情郎一样。
火小邪看的痴了，不知是疼的还是羞的，耳朵烫的厉害，喃喃问道：“你，你是谁？你，你怎么找到我的？”
林婉轻轻一笑，伸出手指按住火小邪的嘴唇，毫不忌讳男女有别，说道：“我叫林婉，你刚才见过我了。现在你别问我，我先看看你的伤。放心，我不会害你的，因为我和你都是盗贼呢，呵呵。”
火小邪目不转睛，看着眼前的俏佳人，说不出的感觉，心中又惊又喜又羞，只好点了点头，算是答应林婉，不再说话。
林婉冲火小邪笑了笑，绕到火小邪受伤的脚边，打量了一下伤口，说道：“挺好的，你挤出了不少毒血，毒性不深，就是疼的厉害，不能动弹吧。只要上一点药膏，就不会有事了。”
林婉说着，手从身后的挎包中一摸，摸出一个小铁盒，打开盖子，用一把小银勺挖出一些粉末，小心的撒在火小邪伤口之上。火小邪顿觉伤口处一阵清凉，把疼痛感压了下去。
林婉把伤口处细细洒匀粉末，收了铁盒，手中又不知从哪里变出一把细细的小刀，只有半指长短，对火小邪柔声道：“我要让你伤口处再流一点血出来，有一点疼，你要忍住啊。”
火小邪疼痛减了近半，已经明白这个女子手段高明，赶忙点头。
林婉微微一笑，手上一晃，眨眼便万分准确的在火小邪伤口内测割开一道小口，速度快的让火小邪根本没有感觉到疼痛。
林婉见伤口中有血流出，手指一展，那把小刀就已然不见，也不知放到哪里去了。
林婉抬头问火小邪道：“好了！只要静候一盏茶左右的时间，就能够活动自如了。”
火小邪伤口处分外清凉，疼痛慢慢的褪去，见林婉如此体贴，十分惭愧，低声说道：“林，林……”
“我叫林婉，你应该比我大半岁，叫我小婉就可以呢。”
“小……小婉……我……谢谢你救我……这……你为什么救我……”
“你叫什么名字？你还没告诉我啊。”林婉说着，侧着身子，坐在火小邪身前。
“火小邪，火小邪……”
“哦！好名字啊，第十一位的火小邪，呵呵。”
“你，你怎么知道我的排位？你是青云客栈的人？”
“不是的，呵呵。若你能成为火家弟子，就知道我是谁了。”
“你帮我治伤，我该如何谢你？是我本事不大，才受的伤，算是自作自受，你帮我会不会坏了火家的规矩。”
“呵呵，火小邪，别想这么多规矩了。你被人用飞刀伤了，其实要怪我呢，我不来帮你治伤，过意不去的。”
“我……这怎么能怪你……”
“要不是我看了你躲着的草丛一眼，你就不会被三姨太发现啊，所以嘛，呵呵。”
“你一出门就发现我了？”火小邪十分好奇。
“嗯！”林婉轻轻点了点头，“你身上带了胭脂之类的香料吧，气味很浓的。”
“这……”火小邪说不出话，那胭脂、女红被油纸包着，装在怀中，自己都闻不到气味，她怎么就能闻到？
“我知道你很奇怪，我怎么能够闻到，呵呵，我的鼻子可是很好使的哦。”
“我躲在这里，你也这样找到的？”
“嗯，你身上的血腥气味更重呢。”
"Ah, yes, yes."
火小邪说到这里，腿上的疼痛已经消散的差不多了，只有一点皮肉刺痛，已经不打紧，火小邪一抬膝盖，毫无异状，算是好了。
火小邪啧啧称奇，还有这么快解毒的法子，从来不曾听说过。
火小邪本想挪动身子，林婉按住火小邪的胳膊，轻声说道：“现在还不要动，再等一会，才会完全好的。”
火小邪对面前小鸟依人一样的林婉，说不出的感激，好感顿生，就算此时林婉找他要任何东西，只要他能做到，也要依了她。火小邪从小孤苦，哪有过这么漂亮的人儿无比体贴的为他疗伤，对他如此细致入微的关心，不厌其烦的与他聊天讲话，既不故作神秘，也不嫌弃他本事低微。此时，火小邪心中暖融融的，真想两人能一直在这里呆下去。
林婉见火小邪看着自己，低头避开火小邪眼神，说道：“好了，我就走了。你一定要听话，不要乱动，再等一盏茶的时间。”
火小邪急道：“怎么！你要走了！”
林婉说道：“嗯，我不便在此久留，你一定会再见到我的。”
林婉站起身来，从火小邪侧面一跃而上，跳上矮墙。
“小婉，我……” 火小邪万分遗憾，但又不好勉强，只能转头目送。
火小邪仍然在喃喃道：“你……我怎么……”可火小邪转过头去，身后寂静无声，只见野草微微晃动，刚才陪伴在身边的可人儿，早就不见。
“后会……有期……”火小邪如同心中丢了一块肉似的，惆怅感油然而生，长喘一声，仰头呆呆看天。
满天星辰都像是林婉眼中的光芒，不断闪烁着。火小邪按照林婉的吩咐，静静在角落中坐了一盏茶时间，活动了一下身子，知道已无大碍，便找准机会，继续向西门摸过去。
王家大院西门附近更是僻静，房屋略显简陋，没几个屋子里亮着灯，半晌都见不到个人经过。这一带空地不少，尽管大多数都栽种着花花草草，但杂乱的灌木草丛更多，而且上了年头的大树分立成排，更易藏身。
火小邪躲在一块大石后，看了看天色，应该已是子夜时分，不由得想起郑则道与自己的约定，清了清嗓子，用手掩着上唇，“喵”的学了一声野猫叫。
火小邪叫了几声，无人回应，火小邪心想，不会郑则道和胖好味还没有来吧。
火小邪等了片刻，才听到不远处的一堆乱草后，呱呱呱的蛤蟆声响起，一长二短，很有节奏，火小邪心中一喜，知道是与胖好味约定的蛙鸣暗号，赶忙又冲着蛤蟆叫声的地方学了两声猫叫。
呱，呱呱，蛤蟆声等猫叫一停，便回应起来，随后草丛微动，里面探出一个圆滚滚的脑袋，正是胖好味。火小邪连忙半蹲起身子，也探出脑袋，向着胖好味打了个招呼。
这两个贼接上头，胖好味伸手指了指旁边的一处草坑，火小邪会意，从大石后挪出身子，钻到草坑中，胖好味随即挤到火小邪身边。
两人刚想说话，又听到外面有尖锐的虫鸣慢慢响起，胖好味压了压火小邪的肩膀，自己把嘴巴一鼓，呱呱叫了几声。虫鸣继续回应，听声音已向他们这边靠近。
火小邪略略探出头一看，只见郑则道还是一副贵公子的模样，大摇大摆的，不躲不藏，背着手向他们这边走来，火小邪暗暗吃惊，这个郑则道怎么胆子这么大？就不怕人看到他？胖好味此时也探出头查看，见郑则道这样混不在意，惊讶程度不亚于火小邪，赶忙伸出手招呼郑则道：“这里，这里！”
郑则道微微一笑，加快了脚步，走到草坑边，跳了下来。三人彼此点击示意。
胖好味低声叹道：“郑兄弟，你就这样在外面走，不怕被人看到吗？”
郑则道笑道：“这一带根本就没有人，不会被人看到，不必躲着。”
火小邪四下一看，这一带黑沉沉的，举目之内，连一点灯光都看不到。
火小邪低声说道：“郑大哥，不会有人躲在暗处监视吧。”
郑则道十分自信的说道：“我来这里之前，已经把附近查过一遍，不会有问题。两位兄弟，你们不用太紧张了，放开来说话。”
这三人围坐一圈，都把各自的所见讲了一遍。
胖好味从西南角爬墙进到王家大院的时间还不足二个时辰，他在西南一带寻了几十间屋子，发现了一道庚字门，撬开门一看，与其说是个屋子，还不如说是个嵌在墙中的柜子，里面空空如也，只有一个油灯的底座摆在一角。胖好味把这油灯的底座收了，再寻了一些房间，毫无进展，只好先来到此处和郑则道他们会合。胖好味猜测，每个门中都有一个油灯部件，恐怕不把王家大院所有地方都走一遍，找到所有的门，油灯是组合不起来的。
郑则道和火小邪觉得胖好味说的有理，没再多问。郑则道看了眼火小邪，没等火小邪开口，就先讲述起来。
郑则道进王家大院的方法十分简单有趣，他居然是大摇大摆从南大门走进来的。郑则道回了一趟红马客栈，从一个客商那里偷到一块牌子，叫做“行入牌”，就拿此牌便进了王家大院。原来这王家大院在南门一带设有“尊客居”，专门招待那些要与王家直接谈生意的商人居住，还能代为保管钱物，说白了就是会客的一个大宅院，与王家直接谈生意的商人，多是富贵之人，往往还要在王家堡再开一个房间，方便自己闲暇时消遣娱乐，所以有人进进出出，并不奇怪。这些情况郑则道早就打听清楚。
郑则道打扮富贵，南门那边的武师都是认牌不认人，以貌取人之辈，郑则道根本不需多言，他们也不细问，就恭恭敬敬请郑则道进了王家大院。
郑则道进了王家大院，并不着急，在尊客居的膳房点了道香茶，与几个已经住在此处几日的商人一通胡侃，这些商人都是王家大院的熟客，所知不少，郑则道十分善谈，没多久便问出王家大院几处阁楼的大致情况，料定西四阁楼、西二阁楼、东三阁楼必有古怪。
郑则道绕到尊客居后院，撬开一道门锁，就进了王家大院内宅，此时张四爷他们四散分布着抓贼，爆炸的房屋火势未灭，到处都乱哄哄的。以郑则道的身手，没费什么功夫，就先到东三阁楼中摸了一圈出来，倒是在东三阁楼中见到了一扇己字门。
胖好味听郑则道说见到己字门，十分高兴，谢了郑则道半天，郑则道一笑置之，并未多说。
郑则道从东四阁楼出来，又去打探西四阁楼，发现西四阁楼布局古怪，而且三楼的窗户从里面封死，外面只是做了个样子罢了，便偷进去查看，看到房中有巨大石柱，三楼入口被大石板覆盖，知道三楼中定有问题，于是躲在二楼角落，直到王兴他们前来。郑则道看清石板开启之法后，再等到三姨太过来重新升起沉降了风水珠，认定三楼中必有重宝，但机关复杂，不宜久留，早了他们一步，先从西四阁楼中出来，在附近转了一圈，才出来和火小邪他们相会。
火小邪听郑则道说完，不禁问道：“那西四阁楼中到底是什么机关？”
郑则道说道：“依我看，房中的巨大石柱，里面必定注满了毒水，宝贝平时就沉在水底，轻易不会让人碰到，而西四阁楼内有个升降机关，能够从水底下升起宝贝。这可能是紫水锁金阵。”
胖好味惊道：“紫水锁金阵，是个什么玩意？乖乖隆地隆的，到水底下偷东西，什么身法都不好施展！憋都憋不住气！更别说水里还有毒了！”
郑则道微微一笑
