"Hurry up, the altar is opening! … "
Along the way, the commoners dragged their families forward like water flowing into the sea. Ye Xuan followed the crowd and soon arrived in front of a building that was obviously of a modern style. There were flags of various colors hanging in front of these buildings. Ye Xuan saw that there were flags from Australia, Italy, France, and so on. It seemed like this was the so-called concession.
Walking into the concession, he saw that in front of a building that had the words "Australasia Eastern Branch (China) Telegraph Company" written on it, all the commoners had formed a large circle. In the circle, there was a group of people in white robes carrying a few clay statues of unknown Buddha statues. It seemed like they were really going to open an altar to perform a ritual.
In front of those buildings, there were some soldiers holding knives and simple Mauser rifles guarding the entrance of the telegraph company. They were strictly guarded. However, although the people who were opening the altar to perform the ritual were shouting, "This is an important place for the government, go away!", it was obvious that they were still afraid of those people and did not dare to come forward to chase them away.
"Heaven, wind, earth, and fire come together, exterminate the foreigners, righteousness exists. Today, the White Lotus has come to save the world, exorcise the evil, and pass it on for ten thousand generations … "A diviner was scattering talismans everywhere as he muttered something, as if he was chanting some kind of talisman.
Seeing the actions of that person from the White Lotus Society, Ye Xuan could not help but shake his head. If this altar could be opened so easily, would it still be an altar? Was this an altar opening or was this madness?
However, the ordinary people around them were looking at them devoutly. Some of them were even holding incense sticks and chanting along with them. Some of them were kowtowing to the unknown clay Buddha statues. Ye Xuan could not help but frown at them.
As the saying goes, when a country is about to fall, demons will be born. The commoners were ignorant and the government was incompetent. Whether it was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom or the current White Lotus Society, or even the Boxers whom even Empress Dowager Cixi would rely on a few years later, they were only a small part of the problem. In the end, the commoners were the ones who suffered.
"Heaven, wind, earth, and fire come together. Exterminate the foreigners, righteousness exists. Today, the White Lotus has come to save the world, exorcise the evil, and pass it on for ten thousand generations! Burn the telegraph office... "
The diviner threw the burning talisman in his hand in the direction of the telegraph company, but he did not step forward. The people behind him also stood there and shouted, but no one actually went forward to burn the telegraph office.
It seemed that these people were not stupid. If they went crazy in front of the telegraph company, the soldiers could not do anything to them. If they really went near the telegraph company, the soldiers could only shoot at them in order to not lose their jobs. These people had joined the White Lotus Society for quite some time. Of course, he knew that the so-called invulnerability of believing in the White Lotus Society was a lie.
"The White Lotus descends to the mortal world, and the people turn over a new leaf! The White Lotus descends to the world, and the people will have a new lease on life! "
"The Heavenly Wind and Earthly Fire shall come together to exterminate the righteousness of the Westerners …"
Puff! — —
All of a sudden, a strong bolt of lightning burst out from the corner of the wall opposite Ye Xuan. Not only did the diviner who was chanting suddenly freeze, but even the followers and ordinary people next to him were startled. Everyone seemed to have been paused for a moment. Then, they looked in the direction of the electric light.
They saw a beautiful woman with fair skin, a tall figure, and a round hat on her head. She was dressed in a brown dress, and she was holding a magnesium lamp in her hand. There was also an old camera beside her. She stood on a man's shoulder and smiled at the crowd.
"Thank you!" Seeing everyone looking at her. Thirteenth Aunt smiled at the crowd.
"Wow, this woman can send electricity. Run!" The people reacted. At this time, the ordinary people had already seen the foreigners as demons under the influence of the White Lotus Society. When they saw Thirteenth Aunt's clothes and thought of the sudden flash of light, they all dispersed.
"Catch this demon …" At this time, the diviner also reacted. The diviner also reacted. He looked at the 13th Aunt, who was standing on Liang Kuan's body, and shouted.
Following the diviner's shout, everyone rushed in the direction of Thirteenth Aunt.
"Hm? Thirteenth Aunt, what a coincidence! " Seeing Thirteenth Aunt, Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows. He did not expect to see her here. However, what was going on with Liang Kuan? Didn't he become Yan Zhendong's disciple? Why was he here with Thirteenth Aunt?
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, don't mess around!" When Liang Kuan, who was having an erotic dream, saw the people from the White Lotus Society rushing over, he hurriedly reached out to protect Thirteenth Aunt. He pointed at Thirteenth Aunt and said, "She is Chinese. How can she be a foreigner? Look carefully! "
"That's right!" Thirteenth Aunt was also shocked by the White Lotus Society's formation. Her face was pale, and she nodded her head vigorously.
"Look at your western-style clothes. You are holding a demon that is glowing. You must be a demon. Catch her!" Of course, the people from the White Lotus Society would not listen to them. The diviner waved his hand, and everyone rushed forward to catch Thirteenth Aunt.
"Thirteenth Aunt, leave now. I will protect you!" Seeing that the people from the White Lotus Society were trying to catch someone on the street, Liang Kuan did not hold back anymore. He pushed back the people from the White Lotus Society while telling Thirteenth Aunt to leave quickly.
Unfortunately, three sides were surrounded by people from the White Lotus Society, and the other side was a wall. Liang Kuan was not Huang Fei-hung. Even after ten years, his skills were only average. It was difficult for him to fight against so many people. Soon, Thirteenth Aunt was caught.
"A 'Kuan! A' Kuan! Save me!" After being grabbed by the White Lotus disciples, the frightened Thirteenth Aunt cried out for help.
"Bring her back to Skyward Temple and burn her to death!" Seeing that they had caught the foreign demon, the people from the White Lotus Society were extremely excited. They wanted to bring Thirteenth Aunt back to the White Lotus Society's headquarters and burn her to death.
Hearing the words of the White Lotus Society, Thirteenth Aunt was so scared that her face turned pale. She struggled with all her might, but how could a weak woman like her fight against a few grown men? Naturally, she was still caught firmly.
Just as Thirteenth Aunt was panicking, she suddenly heard a few "peng peng" sounds. The disciples that were grabbing her immediately screamed as they were sent flying.
"Thirteenth Aunt, are you alright?" A deep male voice came from behind her. Thirteenth Aunt was shocked. This voice was not Huang Fei-hung's, nor was it Liang Kuan's. It was rather familiar, but she could not recall who it was. She quickly turned around.
"Huh?! Xiao Xuanzi?! "Seeing the person who suddenly appeared behind her, Thirteenth Aunt's panicked expression turned into one of joy.
Hearing this familiar and teasing name, Ye Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Didn't I tell you not to call me Xiao Xuanzi?"
Thirteenth Aunt ignored Ye Xuan's protest and continued to ask, "Xiao Xuanzi, where have you been all these years?"
"There's another demon here. Everyone, capture him!" When the people saw Ye Xuan's outfit, they shouted and rushed toward him.
"We'll talk about that later. Step back a little, I'll deal with these pests in front of me first!"
With that, facing the dozen or so White Lotus disciples who were charging at him, Ye Xuan slowly walked over with his hands behind his back. Just as the White Lotus disciple at the very front was about to throw a punch at him, Ye Xuan suddenly stopped in his tracks and sidestepped the disciple's incoming fist. Then, with lightning speed, he kicked the disciple's knee. That person screamed and fell to the ground.
Then came the second, third, and fourth …
One by one, Ye Xuan walked among the White Lotus disciples charging at him as if he was taking a stroll in his own backyard. However, every White Lotus disciple that passed by him hugged their knees and fell to the ground, wailing incessantly. All the bystanders were extremely shocked.
"Thirteenth Aunt, are you alright?" At this moment, Huang Fei-hung, who had been separated from Thirteenth Aunt and the others, finally rushed over. He asked with concern when he saw Thirteenth Aunt standing at the side.
When Thirteenth Aunt saw Huang Fei-hung coming over, she pulled his hand and pointed to the front in surprise, "Fei-hung, look, who's that?"
Huang Fei-hung was a martial artist after all, so he had excellent eyesight. When he arrived earlier, he had already seen the person who was teaching the White Lotus disciples a lesson. He had only overlooked it because he was worried about Thirteenth Aunt's safety. Now that he heard Thirteenth Aunt's words, he immediately raised his head and saw that not only was the person's figure becoming more and more familiar, even the way he was using his hands and feet was exactly the same as his. Huang Fei-hung's eyes widened.
At this moment, when the White Lotus disciples saw how easily Ye Xuan took down a dozen of their brothers, they all looked at Ye Xuan in fear. They only surrounded him, not daring to step forward.
Seeing that these people had been scared out of their wits by him, Ye Xuan shook his head. At this moment, he suddenly felt a gaze on him from behind. Ye Xuan turned around and couldn't help but call out, "Master!"
"Wukong!"
(Please ignore the last two words, thank you!) ^ _ ^ *)
