After the leopard of the Wolf Fang Village stole the Thunderstorm Sword from the hospital, he was ecstatic and ran all the way back to the Wolf Fang Village. Old Ma was in the hall discussing the next step with Grand Master, Tie Tuo, Old Spear, and the other subordinates. Suddenly, the leopard came back. Everyone looked at the door. The leopard held a sword and said proudly,"Godfather Ma, I'm back."
Old Ma saw the sword in the leopard's hand and jumped up from his chair.""Quickly bring me the sword!"
The leopard rushed over and handed over the sword with both hands."Please take a look, Godfather Ma."
When everyone heard that they had taken back the sword, their gazes followed the sword. Old Ma took the sword and looked at the scabbard carefully. There were dragon patterns on both sides of the sword. The guard was made of brass and inlaid with two emeralds. It was very exquisite. Old Ma looked at it several times before slowly pulling out the sword. A cold light flashed on the blade, showing how sharp it was. Old Ma shook his sword and laughed,""Treasure sword, treasure sword! Leopard, you've made another great contribution."
" A few days ago, during the battle of the bridge, Long Kong 'er used this sword to block our bullets," the leopard said." She charged across the bridge alone and defeated our outpost.”
"This sword can block bullets?"
"The brothers who escaped said that Long Kong 'er spun the sword extremely fast, forming a blue circle of light that blocked the bullets.”
"Haha, it really is a treasured sword! With this sword, it was impenetrable. The Wolf Fang Village will be fine."
Everyone felt that they could rest easy and live a peaceful life again, so they laughed loudly.
After everyone laughed, the leopard whispered,""Godfather Ma, I saw Long Kong 'er when I was snatching the sword in the hospital. He woke up again.”
Although the voice was soft, it was very powerful, as if it could break the roof. Everyone was shocked.
Old Ma was shocked.”
The leopard said,"This man is magical. I don't know if he's a human or a demon."”
"Aiya, what should we do?"
The air in the hall froze, as if the temperature had dropped to freezing point. After a long time, the advisor said,"Everyone, don't panic. Humans had their methods, and demons had their yao arts. There would always be a way to deal with him. It was only a matter of time. Legend has it that there was an illusionist who could set up a bewitching array to confuse the other party and then capture them. If they could find this illusionist, then Long Kong 'er would be nothing to fear.”
Although Old Ma felt a trace of relief in his heart, he felt that this was just wishful thinking. He asked,""This is a legend after all."
The advisor said,"It is better to believe in something than not to believe in something.”
Old Ma pondered for a moment and asked,"Then who should we send to find this person?"”
"A person who knows illusions like this must be proud and arrogant. His martial arts are first-class. He's definitely not someone an ordinary junior can invite. Moreover, the special forces of the People's Liberation Army were searching everywhere, so it was very likely that they would encounter them. Therefore, the people sent to look for them had to be smart and skilled in martial arts.”
This mission was extremely dangerous. Everyone looked at each other, not daring to answer.
The advisor looked at the leopard and chuckled."Lord Panther, the Wolf Fang Village has your martial arts skills. You run like a leopard and are very clever.”
"Grand Master, you flatter me. The Wolf Fang Village was filled with experts. Tie Tuo's spiked club was invincible, while Old Spear's spear technique could penetrate a hundred steps.”
Tie Tuo said,"Lord Panther, don't praise me when you're in trouble."”
"I wouldn't dare. I've always admired Tie Tuo.”
The advisor said,"Lord Panther, don't refuse."”
The leopard said,"Grand Master, this mission is extremely dangerous. I, the leopard, am willing to go through fire and water for the Wolf Fang Village. I will not hesitate." However, an illusionist is just a legend. Where can I find one? Isn't that like looking for a needle in a haystack?"
"If I know where this person is, there's no need to trouble Lord Panther.”
Old Ma said,"Alright, Leopard, this is an important matter. I'll have to trouble you." Bring Lin Wa with you."
"Yes."
Tie Tuo was secretly delighted. He thought that once the leopard went to find an illusionist, he would be separated from the horse lotus. In the future, he would have more opportunities to interact with the horse lotus. Unexpectedly, Ma Lianhua took the initiative to say,"Dad, I'll go with the leopard."”
"Godfather Ma, let her go with us."”
Godfather Ma loved his only daughter deeply and was very worried about her safety. His bulging eyes rolled twice and he said reluctantly,"Alright, Ma Lianhua and Lin Wa will go with you.”"Old Spear, you'll be in charge of the operation team while the leopard is away.”
"Yes!" Old Spear puffed out his chest and replied.
Tie Tuo was so anxious that he clenched his mace tightly. He glared at the leopard and cursed in his heart,"Cunning leopard, you've succeeded again. Sooner or later, you'll fall into my hands."
"Godfather Ma, we're going now."”
"Wait a minute. This mission is extremely dangerous. Bring this sword along.”
"Thank you, Godfather Ma!" Hearing this, the leopard was overjoyed. He took the sword with both hands and left the hall with Ma Lianhua and Lin Wa.
In order to trace the snake head pattern on the flying knife, Long Kong 'er, Mei Ruxue, Mei Kunli, Liu Dabing, and the shopkeeper headed up the mountain. Only Liu Dabing brought a submachine gun, while Long Kong 'er, Mei Ruxue, and Mei Kunli brought pistols. Among the five people, Mei Kunli knew more about Dragon Mountain. He heard that there were three temples on Dragon Mountain, big and small, and the temples were dozens of miles apart. The largest temple was Longquan Temple. Every year, he would accompany his parents to Longquan Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. Although the shopkeeper was a bandit from the Wolf Fang Village, he had been lurking in the Immortals Gathering Loft for a long time and did not know much about Dragon Mountain.
The five of them walked for a while and came to a fork. There was a mountain path that led to Banshan Pavilion. Five miles up from Banshan Pavilion was Longquan Temple. The other mountain path led to Longyan Temple. Longyan Temple was built on a rock, and the path was very steep. The other temple was Tianfeng Temple. It was the highest and the furthest. Mei Kunli had never been there before.
After Mei Kunli reported the situation of the three temples to Long Kong 'er, he asked,""Captain, are we going to Longquan Temple or Longyan Temple?”
"You're familiar with Longquan Temple. Go to Longquan Temple first.”
The shopkeeper walked in front, Mei Kunli followed behind, Liu Dabing walked in the middle, and Long Kong 'er and Mei Ruxue walked at the back. Mei Kunli occasionally chatted with the shopkeeper. Liu Dabing was very alert and solemn. He kept silent. Mei Ruxue and Long Kong 'er chatted happily as they walked. Along the way, he occasionally saw visitors who went to Longquan Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, as well as hunters who went up the mountain to hunt.
After walking for three hours, when they were about to reach the half-mountain pavilion, a man and two women walked over from the mountain. The three of them were all dressed in black. The two men wore cloaks on their heads and carried long robes on their backs. The woman wore a black veil on her face and a short sword at her waist. These three people were none other than the leopard, Lin Wa, and Ma Lianhua. They had just come from Longquan Temple. The leopard looked at the special forces of the People's Liberation Army from afar and became nervous. He said to Lin Wa and Ma Lianhua,"Don't look for trouble, go around.”
The three of them quickly turned around and walked toward another mountain path.
When Mei Kunli saw these Jianghu people suddenly turn around, he said to Long Kong 'er,""Captain, the three people in front are acting suspiciously. Should we go and ask them?”
"Go ask Liu Dabing."
Mei Kunli and Liu Dabing ran towards the three of them. "The three people in front, stop!" Mei Kunli shouted as he ran.”
The leopard heard the shout and turned to look. Seeing Mei Kunli and Liu Dabing chasing after him, he hurriedly said to Ma Lianhua and Lin Wa,""Run!"
"Why didn't you kill them?" Ma Lianhua said angrily.”
The leopard grabbed her arm anxiously and said,""Great aunt, we'll talk later, run!”
Ma Lianhua was unwillingly pulled by the leopard and started running. Mei Kunli and Liu Dabing fired at them at the same time. They jumped, dodged, and ran in the forest at an astonishing speed. Their movements were very agile. Especially the leopard, it was as fast as the wind.
By the time Long Kong 'er, Mei Ruxue, and the shopkeeper arrived, the three of them had already fled. "Captain, these people are running so fast. They must be bandits. Let's chase them." Mei Kunli said.”
"Forget it, I can't catch up even if I want to. Let's go to Longquan Temple first."
The five of them continued to advance toward Longquan Temple.
"Are they bandits from the Wolf Fang Village?" Mei Kunli asked the shopkeeper.”
The shopkeeper said,"I didn't see their faces clearly, but from their appearance, they seemed to be from Wolf Fang Village."”
"It seems that the bandits are going to cause trouble again," said Long Kong 'er. Shopkeeper, where do you think they will destroy?”
"It's hard to say. They had robbed the granary and the military vehicle a few days ago, so there shouldn't be any big movements immediately.”
"Oh, then what are they trying to do?”
"Sir, I don't know."
"Don't call me sir. I'm Captain Long of the special forces."
"Alright, Captain Long."
"Don't hide the truth. You have to strive to atone for your sins!”
"Yes, sir. No, Captain Long, I must atone for my sins.”
When they arrived at the pavilion, Long Kong 'er asked Mei Kunli,""How far is it to Longquan Temple?"
"Five miles, about an hour.”
Seeing Mei Ruxue sweating profusely, Long Er said to everyone,""Let's rest here.”
Everyone sat on the stone bench. Mei Kunli and Liu Dabing opened the water bottles to drink. The innkeeper watched them drink water and his Adam's apple moved. He did not dare to ask them for water. He looked around and saw a stream not far away. He reported,"Liberation Army, I want to go to that stream to drink some water.”
"Are you trying to escape?" Mei Kunli asked warily.”
"I dare not, I dare not." I'm really dying of thirst."
Mei Kunli handed him the water bottle and said,"Here, take mine."”
The shopkeeper took the kettle with both hands, thanked him, and gulped it down.
Mei Ruxue leaned against the stone pillar and looked at Long Kong 'er with a smile. Long Kong 'er stood there and looked into the distance, deep in thought.
"Captain, what are you looking at?" asked Mei Ruxue.”
"I'm looking at the ancient tomb over there," said Long Kong 'er.”
Mei Ruxue was so frightened that she let out an " Ah!" She stood up and grabbed Long Kong 'er's arm, asking,""Where is it?"
Long Kong 'er pointed at the ancient tomb and said,"Look, behind that forest, where the clouds and mist are lingering, is the ancient tomb."”
"Have you been there?"
"I've been there. It was the tomb of General Li of the Tang Dynasty. There was a secret passage inside, and there were traps in the secret passage. Unfortunately, the mechanism of the secret passage had yet to be broken.”
The shopkeeper said,"I heard Lord Panther say that there is a secret passage.”
"Lord Panther knows about the secret passage?"
The shopkeeper said," He is the Third Head of the Wolf Fang Village. He is shrewd and has superb swordsmanship. Moreover, he is deeply loved by Old Ma. Old Ma intends to betroth his daughter Ma Lianhua to him." He probably knows about the secret passage mechanism."
The problem of cracking the secret passage mechanism was finally solved. Long Kong 'er was pleasantly surprised."That's great. As long as we capture this Lord Panther, we can crack the secret passage's mechanism!”
The shopkeeper nodded.
