Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

Everyone looked together, and saw Zheng Zedao standing up from his chair, walking forward while talking, bowing to the King of Fire, Taoist Huo Chi, Yan Jingtian and all the hall masters, and reading aloud: "If Mr. Fire King is embarrassing , can you allow me to represent the Huo family and fight against Jia, Ding and Yi? I have already passed the three gates of the Huo family, so I should be regarded as a disciple of the Huo family." Daoist Huo Chi was taken aback for a moment, looked at Zheng Zedao, and said, "Zheng Zedao, you can represent the Huo family to fight Jia, Ding and Yi."

Fire King Yan Lie looked at Zheng Zedao, who looked like a handsome and wealthy son, with a smile on his face, and said, "Zheng Zedao, you really have this intention, it's the luck of the Huo family, why am I not allowed?" Zheng Zedao said loudly: "Thank you, Lord Huo Wang!" The water king Rukawa, who had been sitting quietly on the stage, had a flash of a smile on his face, and turned to look at the water monster.Shui Yaoer frowned, and turned her head away, unwilling to look at Zheng Zedao under the high stage. Zheng Zedao turned around, pulled out his fan, opened it with a clatter, fanned it leisurely, walked to Jia Dingyi's side, and said politely: "A Dingyi, I will represent the Huo family to fight with you. willing?"

A, Dingyi looked at Zheng Zedao coldly, and sneered: "Zheng Zedao, you really have the ability! You can also be cute! It's just that you seem to be too lenient." Zheng Zedao said with a chuckle: "A, Ding, and B, what you said just now is full of flaws and confusion, and it can't stand scrutiny at all. I, an outsider, listened to it, and it was very awkward. What happened more than ten years ago, you just heard it. , maybe you have been used by others, and you are still in the dark. Lord Fire King can let you finish your sentence, which shows that Lord Fire King has a demeanor. You, A, D, and B, are narrow-minded, kill innocent people indiscriminately, overestimate your own strength, like a clown, you want to fight the Fire King, do you think that you can become famous in one fight?"

A, Dingyi stared at Zheng Zedao, the scars on his face turned red, and the veins on his forehead protruded, he snorted coldly: "Zheng Zedao, you don't need to show off your tongue anymore! I'm going to kill you!" A, Dingyi raised his hands, and the two black awns around his waist rolled out, and a black net was thrown out in front of A, Dingyi, with two slaps, and the black awns fell to the ground in an instant, like two Like a black snake, it kept swimming on the ground, as if it would jump out at any time. This time it was Zheng Zedao's turn to turn pale, but Zheng Zedao chuckled: "A, Ding and B, what a powerful whip technique! Is this all your means?"

Jia Ding Yi sneered and said: "Zheng Zedao, if you get out now, I can spare your life! If you don't get out, quickly put on a posture!" Zheng Zedao stood leisurely beside him as if nothing had happened, and said, "I'm ready, please!" A, Dingyi gave Zheng Zedao a cold look, and shouted: "Okay!" The two black lights were like two black poisonous snakes. When they raised their heads, they rolled towards Zheng Zedao, attacking the neck and ankles respectively, as fast as lightning. Zheng Zedao suddenly shifted his body, lowered his head, raised his right foot, and escaped the move. Then he swayed and got into the big net made of black awns.

Jia Ding Yi snorted softly, shook his hand, and the black light folded in the air, and the sound of breaking through the air was violent, and rolled over from behind Zheng Zedao. The black light kept rolling, as if it was alive, and made several rings, trying to trap Zheng Zedao. Zheng Zedao opened the fan in his hand, turned around, and scraped the edge of the fan against the black light, dispelling the encirclement of the black light.The black light passed close to his body, sending Zheng Zedao's robe flying away. Zheng Zedao's face was as white as paper, and he still rushed straight towards Jia, Ding and Yi.

Although Huo Xiaoxie didn't like Zheng Zedao, seeing Zheng Zedao rushing straight into Jia Ding Yi's whip array, although he resolved two moves, he was still in danger, and if he was not careful, he would be caught by the black light.Huo Xiaoxie couldn't help groaning, could it be that this Zheng Zedao's killer was born, and he wanted to attack from the most dangerous place, and win in danger. Seeing that Zheng Zedao didn't back down and rushed straight towards him, Jia Ding Yi was even more shocked!People who wield whips are good at long-distance attacks, but it is extremely difficult to use them in close combat. If Zheng Zedao can advance a few steps and fight with him personally, he will definitely not get any benefits.

Jia, Dingyi groaned again and again, and jumped back, trying to distance themselves from Zheng Zedao. Zheng Zedao yelled: "Good retreat!" The moment he grabbed A, Ding and B and retreated, he took a step faster, and he couldn't see how he moved. The whole person leaned straight and moved forward in an instant One zhang, on the contrary, it is closer to Jia, Ding and Yi. A, Dingyi yelled, raised his right hand, and a black awn flew over Zheng Zedao's head, flashed behind A, Dingyi, and with a bang, only the sound of metal hitting the ground was heard, and the head of that black awn was as hard as The iron spear shot out from Jia Ding Yi's side, piercing Zheng Zedao's chest straight.

Zheng Zedao still refused to give way, and rushed towards the pointed head of the black awn. With a puff, the black awn pierced his chest and fell behind Zheng Zedao. Everyone screamed in surprise, thinking that the victory and defeat had been decided. A, Ding and Yi didn't expect Zheng Zedao to meet him desperately, and after a moment of stagnation, Zheng Zedao took another step forward with red eyes, and raised his right hand, and saw a white light flying out of his sleeve, heading straight towards Jia Ding. B's throat hit. Jia Ding Yi is also really tough, seeing this white light coming, there is no way to dodge it, he can actually lean his body back, the white light flew past his forehead, took a piece of fleshy hair, and dug out a blood groove.

The white light released by Zheng Zedao missed A, Ding and Yi, paused in the air, and retracted into Zheng Zedao's sleeve again with a whoosh. A, Dingyi rolled backwards again and again, but it was too fast for Zheng Zedao. Zheng Zedao rubbed the front of his body, and pressed the back of A, Dingyi's neck with one hand.Jia, Dingyi only felt that there was an extremely sharp and cold thing on Zheng Zedao's wrist that pierced his neck half an inch. As long as Zheng Zedao waved his hand, his neck would be cut off by him. Zheng Zedao yelled coldly: "A, D, B! You are defeated! Don't move around, or you will die!"

A, Dingyi's shoulders softened, the black light drooped, and there was no more movement. Daoist Huo Chi shouted: "Take down Jia, Ding and Yi!" Several gray-clothed men rushed out like flying, holding bezoar ropes in their hands, and tied Jia, Ding and Yi in an instant. A, Ding and Yi were dragged up by the man in gray, hehe he kept sneering, without saying a word. A tinge of blood appeared on Zheng Zedao's pale face, and he said, "Jia Dingyi, offended!" He raised his arm, pulled out the black light, threw it on the ground, and said with a loud clatter, "Jia Dingyi , You are merciless! Only through the armpit! Flesh wounds!" A, Ding and Yi sneered and said, "Zheng Zedao! You don't have to be polite! You don't have to show mercy to me. If you win, you win! Do you still want me to thank you for letting me live?" Zheng Zedao stopped talking to Jia, Ding and Yi, turned around and bowed to Fire King Yan Lie, and said loudly: "Master Fire King, Zheng Zedao has made a fool of himself!" Fire King Yan Lie laughed loudly: "Zheng Zedao! Well done! It is really a blessing for the Huo Family to have a disciple like you!" Zheng Zedao said: "It is really an honor for Zheng Zedao to contribute to the Huo Family!" Taoist Huo Chi had also rushed to Zheng Zedao's side, looked at Jia Ding Yi, who looked stern, and shouted: "Put him down! Wait for him!" The man in gray complied, dragging and dragging Jia Ding Yi away, Jia Ding Yi continued to sneer, and gradually fell silent. Seeing A, Ding and B leaving, Taoist Huo Chi took a step forward, clasped his fists at Zheng Zedao and said, "Zheng Zedao! What a skill! Are you seriously injured? Do you want to go down and bandage yourself?" With a smile on his face, Zheng Zedao whispered: "It's okay! I can handle the flesh and blood wounds myself. Thank you Huo Chi Tan Master." Taoist Huo Chi was very satisfied, nodded repeatedly, and asked Zheng Zedao to go back and sit down. Zheng Zedao sat back on the chair, opened his robe, took out a white handkerchief from his arms, pressed it under his armpit, clamped it with his arms, and made a gesture to Jiutang as if nothing had happened. Everyone in Jiutang Yifa apologized slightly, and nodded to Zheng Zedao with a happy face. Fire King Yan Lie laughed out loud, satisfied, turned around and returned to his seat, sat down, and waved his hand to signal Taoist Huo Chi to continue the ceremony of recruiting disciples. Huo Xiaoxie was in a heavy heart, and looked sideways at Zheng Zedao, just now Zheng Zedao released a white light from his sleeve, directly hitting Jia Ding Yi's throat, and immediately retracted after the blow failed, Jia Ding Yi was defeated by this white light Next, what is it, so powerful?Huo Xiaoxie thought of the scar on the neck of the dead red clown, Liang Ba, and felt chills on his back. Taoist Huo Chi turned around and said loudly: "A, Ding and Yi have been detained for disrupting the Huo family's recruitment of disciples! Let me ask you again, is there anyone who voluntarily gave up becoming a disciple of the Huo family?" "Me!" someone yelled. Taoist Huo Chi frowned, and looked at the yelling man. Smoke insect took a few steps lazily with a cigarette in his mouth, and said with a playful smile: "Lord Fire King, I quit voluntarily! I'm used to wandering around, and I can't stand these house rules. Now that I've met Lord Fire King and all the Huo family I am satisfied with the look of an expert! This trip is worth it! Hahaha!" Taoist Huo Chi took a few glances at Yan Chong, and seeing Yan Chong's playfulness, he snorted softly: "Yan Chong Li Yanzhuo, you can ask other Four Elements families if they would like to accept you as a disciple." Yan Chong took a puff of cigarette and said: "No need, I don't want to enter any line of the Five Elements family. I can travel freely, eat and drink, find chicks, and give birth to a few fat boys. I am very happy. Daoist Huo Chi, Huo Chi Mr. Wang, thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it." Daoist Huo Chi said loudly: "Okay! Li Yanzhuo, the smoke bug, you can step back!" Yan Chong said, "Taoist Huo Chi, before I leave, can I have a word with the others?" Taoist Huo Chi said, "Yes! To make a long story short." Huo Xiaoxie originally heard that Yan Chong was going to quit the Huo Family, it was really hard to understand, although the Qingyun Inn has always said that you must pass the three gates of the Huo Gate before you can become a disciple of the Huo Family, but Yan Chong will lose the conditions to become a disciple of the Huo Family That's all, but the opportunity is right in front of him, and it's a bit unreasonable for Yan Chong to quit. Huo Xiaoxie thought that Yan Chong would have to say a few words to herself and Nao Xiaobao at the end, so she was about to stand up and listen to Yan Chong's last teaching.The smoke worm did not come to them, but turned around and walked towards Yu Juaner, Hua Niangzi, and said to Hua Niangzi who was also surprised, "I said, Hua Niangzi, the poison of spring on your body is gone. How about going to the mountains and rivers with me, how about being a Lushui couple?" Hua Niangzi looked at the smoke worm, her eyes flickered, she was speechless. Yan Chong stretched out his hand, placed it in front of Lady Hua, and said, "Come on, hold my hand, let's go!" Hua Niangzi looked into Yan Chong's eyes, suddenly smiled charmingly, stood up, and cursed: "You bitch, put away your dirty hands!" Smokeworm chuckled, and withdrew his hand. Hua Niangzi looked at the smoke worm and smoke worm and smiled, and withdrew her hand. Miss Hua took a look at Yan Chong, took two steps forward, and said loudly: "Master Fire King, I also quit voluntarily! I also don't enter the other four lines! I'm just a little girl, and I really don't have any big ambitions." Fire King Yan Lie's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly. Hua Niangzi turned around and cursed at Yan Chong: "Bitch man, keep chasing me if you have the ability, I'll see how long you chase me! Hehehehe." Hua Niangzi smiled coquettishly and walked away quickly.A man in gray hurried forward to lead the way. The smoke worm dropped the cigarette butt from its mouth, and shouted, "Mrs. Sao, let me see where you can go!" Then he chased after Miss Hua. Huo Xiaoxie and Nao Xiaobao looked at each other with wry smiles all over their faces. "Huo Xiaoxie, Nao Xiaobao, we will meet later." The voice of Yan Chong came from afar, and the last face-to-face with Huo Xiaoxie and Nao Xiaobao didn't even hit each other. The parting should have been sad, but Yan Chong dismissed it so casually, which really matched Yan Chong's cynical temper. Seeing that Yan Chong and Hua Niangzi had left, Taoist Huo Chi asked a few more times, but no one wanted to quit, and no one answered. The only thieves sitting in the hall were Zheng Zedao, Monk Kudeng, Huo Xiaoxie, Nao Xiaobao, Sick Jar Li Xiaoxian, and Yaozi Gouzhangjian. Daoist Huo Chi shouted: "The first person to clear the three gates of the Huo Gate, Zheng Zedao, who is not a junior in Subei! Please go to the master of the fourth hall to choose an apprentice!" The master of the Fuhuo Hall, Fu Jingzai, stood up immediately. This man was a middle-aged man, short in stature, with eyes as big as copper bells, and a heart-to-heart eyebrow, which made him look powerful. Fujing shouted loudly: "Fire King, Fuhuotang Fujing is willing to accept Zheng Zedao as a first-rank disciple of Fuhuotang, please show me!" Beside her, a mid-forty-year-old lady stood up slowly, bowed to the Fire King, and said slowly: "Fire King, Bo Huo Hall Master Bo Jingchen is willing to accept Zheng Zedao as the closed disciple of Bo Fire Hall." After Bo Jingchen finished speaking, the hall master of the next five halls on the opposite side was surprised in a low voice. The master of Fuhuo Hall, Fujing, glanced at Bo Jingchen, shook his head, and retreated helplessly. "Hehe, Laochen, when are you going to accept male disciples as closed disciples? I think you should let me do it." Next to Bo Jingchen was a tall, thin man with a long beard. Although he was not wearing a Taoist uniform, he had an air of immortality. Bo Jingchen said slightly angrily: "Who said that Bohuotang doesn't accept men as closed disciples?" The man with immortal temperament stood up and said to Fire King Yan Lie: "Fire King, Yao Jingmin, the master of Yaohuo Hall, would like to accept Zheng Zedao as my follower, and I will personally teach the Huo Family Stealing Technique! Please show me the Fire King!" After Yao Jingmin finished speaking, he couldn't even bear Bo Jingchen's old face anymore, he blushed, but couldn't speak, so he could only grunt hard, turned and sat down. Yao Jingmin smiled slightly and said, "Old Chen, even if you can't let go of face, you have to be sincere in choosing a disciple." Zun Jingqi, the master of the Zunhuo Hall who was sitting on the highest seat in the upper four halls, this middle-aged man who was over forty and solemn, also stood up slowly. Yao Jingmin was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Master, you can't come up with higher conditions than my disciples! Do you still want to compete with me for an apprentice? Zheng Zedao, under my guidance, has achieved the Huo Family Stealing Technique , I won’t be going to Zunhuotang in the future!” Zun Jingqi snorted and said, "Master Yao, who said I'm going to fight with you, how can I beat you?" Yao Jingmin said: "Then why do you stand up?" Zun Jingqi turned around, bowed Yan Lie to the King of Fire, and said loudly: "King of Fire, Zheng Zedao has a great cultivation base, and he can put the Huo family first, and win a complete victory against the defeated Huo disciples A, D, and B. Be merciful, Zheng Zedao is the biggest harvest of this time. I don’t think it’s suitable for this kind of talent to be included in the last four halls. I implore the King of Fire to accept Zheng Zedao as your personal disciple! The King of Fire will teach him himself! " Fire King Yan Lie laughed loudly, stood up, and said with a smile: "Hall Master! Your idea is very good! Just do as you want!" Zun Jingqi nodded and said, "Fire King is wise!" Yao Jingmin glanced sideways at Zun Jingqi, had nothing to say, stepped back and sat down. Daoist Huo Chi said loudly: "Su Bei Xiaobu is Zheng Zedao, and accepts him as the disciple of King Huo! Zheng Zedao, you are willing!" Zheng Zedao stood up, shook his clothes, and knelt down on his knees, with an extremely respectful expression and a very decent manner. Zheng Zedao said loudly: "Zheng Zedao is honored to be the direct disciple of the Fire King, it is like recreating three lives! Zheng Zedao kneels down to worship the master!" After Zheng Zedao finished speaking, he bowed three times to the Fire King Yan Lie in a regular manner, without any sloppy. Fire King Yan Lie stood up, walked to the high platform, and said with a smile: "Zheng Zedao! No courtesy! Come up and stand behind me!" Zheng Zedao said loudly: "Thank you, master!" After saying that, he stood up slowly, led by Taoist Huo Chi, onto the high platform, and stood beside Huo Wang Yanlie's huge red chair. Zheng Zedao stood firm, and a happy smile appeared on his face. He asked Tujiatian beside him, Lin Wan and Wang Xing from the Mu family, Jin Dajiu from the Jin family, Liuchuan, Shui Yaoer, and Shui from the Shui family. Mei'er nodded, her expression was neither humble nor overbearing, making people feel that she is really a master disciple of the Huo family who understands the overall situation and understands the truth! Beside Zheng Zedao was Lin Wan. Lin Wan looked at Zheng Zedao, gently parted her red lips, and returned the greeting with a smile.Lin Wan smiled like a flower, and Zheng Zedao looked at each other a few more times. Water King Liuchuan also nodded to Zheng Zedao, one side of his face looked very happy, while on the other side, there was a slight hint of displeasure at the corners of his eyes, and he quickly turned his head to look at Water Yao'er.The corner of Shui Yao'er's mouth moved slightly, showing a naughty expression. Seeing Shui Wang Rukawa looking at her, Shui Yao'er quickly put away her smile, and stood still with no expression on her face. Huo Xiaoxie sat below, watching Zheng Zedao's sudden rise to the top, he really didn't know whether to be envious or jealous. Zheng Zedao became the direct disciple of Fire King Yan Lie. Yan Lie seemed very satisfied, and returned to his seat with a smile.The families of the four elements of gold, wood, water, soil and water all bowed their heads to congratulate Fire King Yan Lie. Fire King Yan Lie returned the salutes one by one, but looked at Water King Liuchuan a few more times. Taoist Huo Chi saw that Zheng Zedao had already been selected, cleared his throat, and continued to preside over the apprentice recruitment ceremony. "No! Zheng Zedao killed someone!" Someone yelled with all their might. I saw the sick jar stumbling forward, still a little unsteady, pointing at Zheng Zedao on the stage and yelling loudly. Daoist Huo Chi said angrily: "Sick jar! Don't talk nonsense!" The sick jar continued to yell regardless: "Zheng Zedao was in the robbery pass. In order to pass the test, he killed Liang Ba! The rules come first, and the killers in the robbery pass will be eliminated!" Taoist Huochi shouted: "Sick pot! We saved your life, and we didn't let you come here to talk nonsense! What evidence do you have that Zheng Zedao killed Liangba?" The sick jar said sharply: "I was near the west gate of the Wang family compound. I smelled the smell of a dead person, and finally found Liang Ba's body. Someone dug out finger-deep flesh at the throat and killed him on the spot! The kit held by Liang Ba was also gone. Someone must have taken it away! Just now when Zheng Zedao fought against Jia Dingyi, the thing released from his sleeve should be the murder weapon! If that thing hit Jia Dingyi's throat, it must have the same scar as Liangba!" Taoist Huo Chi said angrily: "Sick pot! You haven't witnessed it with your own eyes, so how can you make a judgment!" The sick jar yelled hysterically: "Zheng Zedao! Come out, do you dare to say what mission you used to pass the competition?" Fire King Yan Lie looked unhappy, turned to Zheng Zedao and said, "Zheng Zedao, go out and explain yourself." Zheng Zedao looked as usual, bowed slightly to Fire King Yan Lie, stepped forward, stood on the high platform, and said unhurriedly: "Sick jar, what mission did I use to pass the level, what does it have to do with you? Did I pass?" The competition for robbery is judged by the shopkeeper of Qingyun Inn, so how do you know what task is in the bag of Liang Baji?" Sick Canzi tried to stand still, and cursed through gritted teeth: "Liangba shouted loudly in Qingyun Inn what task he needs to do! Everyone knows!" Zheng Zedao said with a smile: "In this case, why don't you say that someone else took Liang Ba's bag? Do you have to doubt me?" The sick jar shouted: "Zheng Zedao, don't change the subject, show what's in your sleeve if you have the ability!" Zheng Zedao said: "Sick Jar, you are so strange! Why should I show you the things in my sleeves? The things in my sleeves will naturally be shown to the Huo family in the future, but it is definitely not something you want me to take out! If I will give you a random charge, and tell you to take out your underwear now, do you agree? You can kill, but not humiliate!" Fire King Yan Lie nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Zheng Zedao's words are reasonable, sick jar, you can't force it." Taoist Huo Chi also responded: "Sick pot! Your evidence is insufficient, please step back quickly! Otherwise, you will be kicked out of this place!" The sick jar yelled: "No, Liangba is kind to me, I can't let him die like this for no reason!" The sick jar turned his head and shouted to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, what mission do you think Zheng Zedao used to pass?" The shopkeeper laughed and stood up: "Sick Jar, Zheng Zedao did pass the test, but we can't disclose the tasks he completed. We only deal with things, not people." The sick jar scolded angrily: "You people are all villains, all of you were bought by Zheng Zedao!" The sick jar became more and more hysterical, spat out two mouthfuls of blood, pointed at Zheng Zedao and cursed again: "Zheng Zedao, you are a killer! Others don't know your details, but I know you are the killer of the Sanmeihui! You killer! !Killed people!" Zheng Zedao suddenly shouted loudly: "Sick pot! Shut up! My father is indeed Zheng Youwei from the Sanmeihui, and I am his eldest son! Do you need to say these things? Don't you know, Mr. Fire King? My father is a killer , The Sanmei Society is a killer organization, but what does it have to do with me? Even if all I have learned since childhood are killing methods, do I have to kill people? Let me tell you, I have never killed anyone! Sick jar, I think you are crazy!" The sick jar said sharply: "The son of a wolf is still a wolf! The son of a killer is still a killer! Don't think that you can get away with killing Liang Ba!" Zheng Zedao said: "Sick jar, you are crazy! I don't want to argue with you. If you can't produce definite evidence that I killed someone, please shut up!" The sick jar rushed straight towards the high platform, and said sharply: "Lord Fire King! The Fire Family has strict rules, you can't let this unscrupulous and shameless killer become a disciple of the Huo Family! It's against the way of thieves! It's against the way of thieves!" Fire King Yan Lie waved his hand and said, "This king has his own decision! Taoist Huo Chi, take him down." The sick jar yelled, rolled his eyes, and spat out several mouthfuls of blood.He was poisoned by the strange poison and his body has not yet recovered. Just now, he was overwhelmed with qi and blood, shouted with all his strength, he couldn't hold it anymore, and immediately passed out on the ground. As soon as Taoist Huo Chi waved his hand, several gray-clothed men were about to step forward to carry away the sick jar. "Lord Huo Wang, Zheng Ze said to him, he should be the murderer who killed Liang Ba, not only Liang Ba, but also the red clown." Huo Xiaoxie stood up while talking. When the diseased jar came forward to accuse Zheng Zedao of killing someone, Huo Xiaoxie was full of enthusiasm, not to mention whether the diseased jar had sufficient evidence, it was really admirable to stand up in front of everyone .Huo Xiaoxie had always suspected that Zheng Zedao had killed Liangba, but there was also insufficient evidence, so he dared not make a conclusion. In addition, Li Yanzhuo, the smoke bug, told him not to offend Zheng Zedao, so Huo Xiaoxie held back his dissatisfaction with Zheng Zedao. Not a word.The sick jar was extremely dizzy, seeing that Zheng Zedao had escaped another catastrophe, Huo Xiaoxie was burning with dissatisfaction, his mind was hot, and he couldn't control himself anymore, stood up abruptly, and blurted out some words. Standing on the stage, Zheng Zedao was a little stunned, looked at Huo Xiaoxie in bewilderment, and said, "Brother Huo Xian, you! Why did you wrong me?" Taoist Huo Chi suddenly lost his mind when he saw another Huo Xiaoxie standing up to accuse Zheng Zedao, and turned to look at Fire King Yan Lie. Fire King Yan Lie looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Huo Xiaoxie, tell me! If you, together with the sick jar, accuse Zheng Zedao of crimes and make up nonsense, I will definitely not forgive you!" Now that Huo Xiaoxie has stepped forward, his whole body has already been full of jerk energy, so he doesn't care about the consequences, everything he is about to say is the truth, the Huo family can't be unreasonable. Huo Xiaoxie sorted out his clues, and said loudly: "I also saw Liangba's body. Only me, Fat Haowei, and Zheng Zedao knew the place where he died, because that place was the place where the three of us met. Fat Haowei, when Zheng Zedao and Liang Ba were in the yard of the third concubine, I happened to be there, and Zhang Siye came to round up them. They left together, but Fat Haowei was arrested by Zhang Siye , This is what I heard from Brother Yanchong later. I left the third aunt’s yard and came to the place where me, Fat Haowei, and Zheng Zedao met last time, which is the place where Liang Ba died, and I found Liang Ba. I checked Liangba’s body at the time, and everything was there, except that there was no kit. The wound on Liangba’s neck was a round deep hole. The wound was neat, and it looked like it was dug out all at once. A hole, the murder tool, is most likely a sharp pipe at one end. Liang Ba’s wound is exactly the same as the wound of the red clown who died at Luan Robber’s Pass, and it should be killed by the same person. The light emitted seemed to be a section of pipe. Later, I didn’t dare to stay for long, buried the light hastily, and left. I swear to God, everything I said is true, if there is a lie, God will kill you Five thunders." Huo Xiaoxie finished speaking in one breath, and no one interrupted. In the whole hall, only Huo Xiaoxie's voice could be heard.Until Huo Xiaoxie finished speaking, no one answered. After a moment of silence, Zheng Zedao's expression turned ugly, and he said slowly: "Brother Huoxian, I really didn't expect that you misunderstood me. It is true that I did not kill Liangba. Liangba and I were near the west gate. The place we agreed on is simple We chatted for a while, but we separated soon. Brother Huoxian, I may have done something wrong, but I have always been sincere to you." Huo Xiaoxie bowed to Zheng Zedao and said, "Brother Zheng, I'm just telling the truth that I know..." Fat Haowei behind the shopkeeper shouted loudly: "Huo Xiaoxie is right, Zheng Zedao and I went to the third aunt's yard together, met Liang Ba, and then this bastard Zhang Si came to arrest us, the three of us split up Run away, and I was caught by Zhang Si! The three of us did meet near Ximen after Zishi!" The scene was stagnant again, and no one spoke for a long while. Wang Quan on the high platform coughed, took a step forward, and said: "Li Xiaoxian, the sick man, went beyond his limits to steal the Mu family's four-color daisy. He was poisoned by the Mu family's medicine. Although he survived, he was already insane. Don't take everything you said seriously." .” Fire King Yanlie looked at Huo Xiaoxie and said, "Huo Xiaoxie, there is something wrong with the sick jar's head, I don't care about him. But you are sane, if Zheng Zedao is not the murderer, are you willing to bear the consequences of framing others?" Huo Xiaoxie hurriedly said: "Everything I said is true! I absolutely did not frame others! If Zheng Zedao is wronged, I am willing to kowtow and apologize." Fire King Yan Lie snorted: "Young and frivolous! It's hard to become a master!" Fire King Yan Lie waved to Zheng Zedao and said, "Zheng Zedao, come back first and stand behind me!" Zheng Zedao said yes, gave Huo Xiaoxie a resentful look, and quickly walked back behind Huo Wang Yanlie's chair. Fire King Yan Lie stood up, glanced at the hall, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't want to pursue this matter at first, but Liangba wanted to rape the third concubine Wang Xing, and he died as soon as he died. It's no big deal. But you who use this to humiliate Zheng Zedao, I really can't see it! Narrow-minded, jealous of the virtuous and capable, it is contemptible! Since you insist on asking why, then I will investigate thoroughly! The person who killed Ryohachi, stand up for me!" The hall was completely silent, Huo Xiaoxie looked straight at Zheng Zedao.Zheng Zedao half closed his eyes, his face turned pale. "Amitabha! Good, good!" Monk Ku Deng chanted the Buddha's name and stood up. Everyone looked at Kudeng Monk. Does Kudeng Monk still have something to say?If you have something to say, you don't need to stand up at this time. Monk Ku Deng took two steps forward, and said loudly to Fire King Yan Lie: "I killed Liang Ba, and I also killed the red clown. The little monk has violated the precept of killing, and I don't want to hide it. Please punish Fire King." Huo Xiaoxie was tongue-tied, his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, he let out an ah, and said loudly: "Master Ku Deng, the red clown is the one who came after I found out he was dead. What! What!" Monk Ku Deng tilted his head slightly, and said: "Huo Xiaoxie's benefactor, I did kill the red clown, but you just came, so I will retreat from the cave and hide aside. When you see the red clown's body, I will kill you." This is coming in." Fire King Yan Lie was not surprised at all, and asked, "Monk Ku Deng, why did you kill Liang Ba and Red Clown?" Monk Ku Deng folded his hands together, bowed slightly, and said: "The red clown and Liangba have both committed the crime of adultery. All evils are headed by adultery. The most unbearable thing I can tolerate is thieves with the heart of adultery. When the red clown raped women in Guizhou , The little monk wanted to kill him, but his whereabouts were uncertain, and he never found a chance. This time in the pass of robbery, I will definitely get rid of him as soon as possible. The little monk violated the precept of killing and did not want to show it to others, so he hid from Huo Xiaoxie and deliberately covered it up. .” Huo Xiaoxie murmured: "Master Ku Deng, why did you kill Liang Ba..." Monk Ku Deng didn't seem to hear it, and continued: "In the courtyard of the Wang family, Zheng Zedao and Liang Ba met at the west gate. Without shame, Zheng Zedao couldn't listen to it, and interrupted Liang Ba several times, and Liang Ba even taunted Zheng Zedao. I concluded that Liang Ba's adultery was true. So he came out to meet Liang Ba, found the right time, and ended Liang Ba's life. He wanted to read the Ksitigarbha Sutra several times before leaving, just like he did to the red clown, but Li Xiaoxian, who was sick, looked like a madman, and came here smelling the smell , I just left and did not bury Liang Ba's body. The sick jar Li Xiao first found Liang Ba's body, dug out his belongings, did not take anything, and then buried it hastily. He was muttering about returning my life, and then left. Goodness, goodness, Liangba’s bag should have been stolen by Zheng Zedao when he was chatting with Liangba. Fortunately, Zheng Zedao kept silent about it just now , otherwise it will be hard to argue." Fire King Yan Lie said loudly: "Okay! Monk Ku Deng, let me ask you again, what weapon did you use to kill Liang Ba and the Red Clown?" Monk Ku Deng took out a slender iron pipe from his sleeve, lighted it in his hand, and said: "This thing is originally a flute, and it can also be used to kill people. The wound is just like Huo Xiaoxie said, it is a deep hole." Fire King Yan Lie laughed loudly: "Monk Kudeng, although you have violated the rules by killing people for no reason at the Pass of Pirates, you should have lost the opportunity to become a disciple of the Huo family, but I think you are sincere and sincere, and you killed all of them." It’s a villain, let me forgive you today, and don’t pursue it anymore! Monk Ku Deng, please go back to your seat.” Monk Kudeng chanted the Buddha's name and said, "Thank you, King Huo, for your understanding. The little monk commits the precept of killing, even if the King of Fire doesn't blame him, the little monk will punish himself." Monk Ku Deng stepped back, sat back on the chair, and bowed his head in meditation. Fire King Yan Lie snorted coldly: "Huo Xiaoxie! Are you satisfied?" Every inch of Huo Xiaoxie's skin was like thousands of needles being pricked randomly. He felt unbearably uncomfortable. He thought that standing up and telling the truth was an act of advocating justice. Now it seems that he not only wronged Zheng Zedao, but also became a A downright shameless villain.Zheng Zedao kept calling him Brother Huo Xian, but he himself was as if he had killed his relatives righteously, with no human touch at all.Liang Ba is a villain, misbehaving, but he himself is like a dead brother, following the already mad sick jar, standing up for Liang Ba, and tracking down the murderer. Now that I think about it, it is stupid to the extreme.At this moment, he wished that there would be a crack in the ground that he could drill into. Huo Xiaoxie secretly sighed, not daring to speak, and stood there in a daze. Taoist Huo Chi snorted, "Huo Xiaoxie, you can sit back, why are you still standing? I plan to say something new." Huo Xiaoxie was so ashamed, she retreated to the chair and sat down, feeling ashamed. Nao Xiaobao came over to comfort Huo Xiaoxie: "Brother Huo, I know you are definitely not targeting Zheng Zedao!" Nao Xiaobao is also young and doesn't know how to speak tactfully. What he said made Huo Xiaoxie feel that everyone misunderstood Knowing that he was jealous of Zheng Zedao, he stood up and pointed it out, and suddenly his heart hurt like a knife. Taoist Huo Chi said: "The third person who has cleared the three gates of Huomen is the monk Kudeng who is at home in the world! Please go to the master of the four halls to choose disciples!" The master of Bohuo hall, Bo Jingchen, stood up steadily, bowed to the king of fire severely, and said: "King of fire, the master of Bohuo hall, Bo Jingchen, would like to accept monk Kudeng as a closed disciple of Bohuo hall. Killing adulterers, my hall master, as a woman, feels that Monk Kudeng killed well and happily! And please don’t compete with me, the old woman! I hope the fire king will show me!" Please invite Zun Jingqi, the master of the Zunhuo hall, Bo Jingchen, the master of the Bohuo hall, and the assistant Jingchen, the master of the Fuhuo hall, all three of them sat still, nodded to Bo Jingchen, and followed Bo Jingchen's wish. Fire King Yan Lie said: "Yes!" Taoist Huochi said to Monk Kudeng, "Monk Kudeng, are you willing to be a closed disciple of Bohuo Hall?" Monk Ku Deng stood up and said in a loud voice: "Monk Ku Deng committed killing in the robbery pass, he should have been expelled, the king of fire has a big heart, he can forgive the fault of the little monk, and today he can be appreciated by the master of Bo Huo Hall , I feel the same way, and I am very willing to become a disciple of Bo Huo Hall." Monk Ku Deng pulled up his robe and knelt down on the ground. The master of Bohuotang, Bo Jingchen, smiled and said: "Monk Kudeng, you are a monk, so you are exempted from these common rituals! Bohuotang has always had monks, Taoists and Confucians, you will be happy! Stand behind me now bring it on." Monk Ku Deng recited the Buddha's voice, walked quickly behind Bo Jingchen, and stood quietly and solemnly. Taoist Huo Chi glanced at Huo Xiaoxie, and said sourly: "The fourth person who has cleared the three levels of the Huomen, Fengtian Huo Xiaoxie! Please go to the fourth hall master to choose disciples!" After Taoist Huo Chi finished reading, the hall masters of the upper four halls all turned their heads to one side, and they didn't want to look at Huo Xiaoxie at all. Huo Xiaoxie felt a chill in his heart, looking at their appearance, he knew that he was not in the eyes of the master of the upper and lower halls. Taoist Huo Chi read: "Is there any Master of the Fourth Hall who is willing to take Huo Xiaoxie as his disciple?" No one spoke. Taoist Huo Chi glanced at Huo Xiaoxie, and said again: "The upper four halls do not want to accept Huo Xiaoxie as an apprentice, but the next five hall masters, are there any hall masters who are willing to accept Huo Xiaoxie as an apprentice?" 下五堂堂主也都一片沉默，严景天远远望了几眼火小邪，微微皱眉，也是纹丝不动，丝毫没有起身说话的意思。 火炽道人又问了一遍，下五堂还是无人站出。 火炽道人转身对高台上的火王严烈说道：“火王，九堂堂主皆不愿纳火小邪为徒。” 火王严烈点了点头，两边看了一眼，火炽道人知道意思，对着其他四行世家恭敬道：“木、土、金、水四行世家，火小邪不具火性，尽管通过了火门三关，但无人愿纳。请问各位世家贵客，有愿意纳火小邪为门生的吗？” 水妖儿身子微动，水王流川却哼了一声，水妖儿不敢再有半丝妄动。 水王流川说道：“火小邪尽管能通过火门三关，算是有些本事，可惜他不具水性，遗憾。” 土家田问，木家王全，金家金大九也都连连摇头。林婉看着火小邪，轻轻一叹，也摇了摇头。 火小邪通体冰凉，如坠万年寒冰洞窟，一直向下坠落，人已经有点傻了。 火炽道人的说话声音都好像朦胧起来：“火小邪，尽管你通过火门三关，但火家九堂，五行世家，无人愿纳你为徒。火小邪，请你多做反省，暂列一边，等招徒仪式完结后，速速离开此地吧！若你还有火缘，我们必会来寻你。离开之后，请你紧守火家秘密，不要多言，以免惹上杀身之祸……” 火小邪眼前一黑，好像什么都不知道了。 我看着眼前的老者，他正闭目养神，他讲到火小邪通过火门三关之后，却没有被火家纳为徒弟之后，便闭上了眼睛，靠在摇椅上，很久都没有说话。 我不敢打扰，静静的坐着等着他，满肚子的疑问。 良久之后，老爷子睁开了眼睛，说道：“哦，刚才我说到哪里了？” 我赶忙回答：“那个火炽道人说火小邪不能成为火家弟子，火小邪被淘汰了。” 老爷子笑了声，说道：“对，是说到这里了。” 我有点急不可待的问道：“老爷子，那后来火小邪怎么样了？其他人呢？那个郑则道真的没有杀人吗？” 老爷子说道：“火小邪真的与火家无缘，招徒结束后，就被人送出五十里之外，由火小邪独自离开。除了烟虫、花娘子自愿退出，他是唯一一个被淘汰的人。” 我惊讶道：“连那个什么窑子钩章建都成了火家弟子？” 老爷子说道：“闹小宝成了辅火堂堂主辅景在的弟子，窑子钩章建火家没有选上，却成了水王流川的门生，进了水家。病罐子李孝先则成了木家弟子。” "how could this be?" “病罐子李孝先能偷到木家的四色雏菊，中了毒还能自己想办法用药缓解，木家就是需要这样的弟子，木家应该早就决定好了。所以木家的王全，会帮着病罐子开脱，说他精神异常，说话都不能当真。” “窑子钩章建呢？他不是乱盗之关刚开始的时候，就逃跑了吗？这种人水王流川怎么会收为门生？” “别看这个叫章建的胆子小，但他却是情报工作的好手，江浙一带的事情，他几乎就是个活字典。南京城里的一草一木，一砖一瓦，章建都了如指掌。水王流川问了他数个关于蒋介石的问题，他都一一回答的清楚，甚至讲了些耸人听闻的野史，尽管不知道真假，但水王流川十分满意，当场就收章建为水家弟子了。” “哦……”我长长的喘了一口气，总觉得心里不舒服，说道，“火小邪不是火性精纯吗？为什么连严景天都不愿意收他为徒？心里总觉得别扭的很。” 老爷子笑了笑：“火小邪是个年轻人，哪里知道五行之内，既有相生相克的道理，势必都险恶艰辛，烦扰繁杂，并非五大世家就能超脱的。何况做贼的人，五行贼道，又不是学佛修真，大多贼心不死，贼性难易，就算火家人不是精于算计，但谁不有点心思？而且七情六欲之下，越是五行贼道的世家之人，越是在乎成败得失！只是这些世家的人都藏的太深，所求甚高，寻常人难以发现罢了。呵呵，火小邪受此磨难，对他来说，未必是件坏事。” “老爷子，我特别想知道，火小邪后来怎么了，张四爷呢？甲丁乙呢？还有好多好多的事情我还想不明白。” “张四爷他不知道用了手段，竟在招徒结束之后，带着一众钩子兵下到天坑中，极有可能是有人给他们留下线索，引他们来的。张四爷一众人在门口破口大骂，不住叫喧，还真把火王严烈和九堂一法给骂出来了。张四爷追问火王严烈玲珑镜的下落，火王严烈根本懒得搭理张四爷，本来玲珑镜是水妖儿偷的，结果火王严烈大包大揽，说就是火家偷的，你张四还以为要的回去吗？这个张四爷气的发疯，要挑战火王严烈，火家的九堂一法早就不耐烦了，根本轮不到火王严烈动手。尊火堂堂主尊景齐为了表明自己九堂之首的身份，亲自带着几个尊火堂的弟子迎战，毫不留情，打的张四爷、周先生、一众钩子兵毫无还手之力，贼人捕头向来势不两立，把张四爷他们狠狠的羞辱了一番，钩子兵伤的伤，残的残，数人都受不了这种耻辱，自刎而死，算是壮烈。张四爷本想寻死，被周先生死命拖住，带着剩下的钩子兵逃走，不知所踪。唉，这个张四爷，也是为为情所困的人，天下一等一的情痴。” “这都是水王流川的安排，故意让张四爷受尽绝望的折磨？这个水王流川，怎么对张四爷有这么大的仇恨？照理说，水王流川不应该有什么事情，这么放不下的啊。” “呵呵，慢慢你就知道了。严郑啊，我累了，时间也不早了，你就在我这里住下吧。如果你愿意听下去，明天我继续给你讲。” 我抬腕看了看手表，已经凌晨二点了，我在老爷子家里，听老爷子讲五大贼王的故事，已经足足十多个小时，而我却觉得时间过的飞快，一点都不疲劳。 我突然觉得我的名字很有意思，严郑？这名字好怪，火王严烈，郑则道……我母亲在两年前去世，她不姓郑，我父亲倒是姓严。小时候我问父母我叫做严郑，郑是什么意思，父母都告诉我，郑是郑重的意思，也有正大光明的含义。再往祖辈上追溯，我爷爷、奶奶、外公、外婆，也都是普通人，可为什么这位老爷子要找到我？难道说，我和这个故事有联系？ 我尽管这么想，却没有当着老爷子的面说出来。 老爷子家里的老妇人给我安排好房间，我简单洗漱了一下，躺在床上，却根本一下子睡不着。满脑子都是老爷子故事里火小邪的身影，形形色色的盗贼，各种怪异精彩的机关布置，匪夷所思的偷盗过程。不知道为什么，脑海中的一切都像是活的，如同电影一样不断播放着，又熟悉又陌生。 房间的窗户开着，却没有蚊虫的滋扰。房间里透进月光，微微的给房间里镀上一层朦胧的金色。家具摆设尽管老旧，但都别具风格，古色古香。轻风徐徐，始终有一股子香甜的草木香味弥漫在房间里，让人觉得十分的惬意。 我应该是睡着了，实际上始终是半梦半醒的状态，隐隐听到有人柔和的低语，却分不清是梦境还是真实。 天亮之后，老妇人唤我起床，给我端上一碗热腾腾的豆浆，一根香酥的油条，两个爽口的肉包。我没有客气，狼吞虎咽吃完了，那老妇便请问我去见老爷子。 老爷子尽管仍然打着吊瓶，坐在躺椅上不便活动，但面色红晕，精神不错。 老爷子见我来了，微微笑了笑，唤我坐在他身边。 故事再次展开，我隐隐的觉得，这一次将会更加的波澜壮阔，动人心弦，以前的谜题将被解开，更多的谜又会出现。 五行世家，五大贼王，火小邪，水妖儿，郑则道，林婉，甲丁乙，张四爷等等等等各色无法忘怀的人物，他们的命运会是怎么样的呢？
