On the way back, Ye Kong soon left the busy street and walked on a small road with few people.
The ruffians behind him were naturally overjoyed. They had followed Ye Kong from the ring and saw that he was a country bumpkin who was curious about everything. They guessed that he was a foreigner and were ready to make a move. Unfortunately, he had been walking on the main road, so they didn't find a chance.
Later, when they saw him give nine taels of silver to the Lu brothers, they were even more happy. They had met a fat sheep. As for the Lu brothers, they didn't even consider them. Lu Jun and the others were just the lowest members of the gang. Would they dare to mess up their business?
In a remote alley, Ye Kong was finally blocked. There were three ruffians in front and behind him, all holding knives and clubs and grinning hideously.
"Little friend, we want to borrow some money from you." A hoarse voice came from behind.
Ye Kong leaned against the wall and looked at the six ruffians. Sure enough, they were all burly and looked fierce.
"In broad daylight, aren't you afraid that I will report you to the authorities?" Ye Kong looked very much like those pedantic scholars.
"Report to the authorities? There are dozens of murders in Nan City every day. You're just a little guy from another city. Will anyone care about you? "The hoarse voice laughed loudly. They were afraid of everyone, but not scholars.
"But I know how to draw it. When I go to the government office, I will draw your appearance. I think that if I follow the drawing, the officers will be able to find you easily. I think you guys should just let me go." Ye Kong said with a smile.
The ruffians looked at each other and saw the murderous intent in each other's eyes. They didn't want to kill anyone, but now it seemed that they could only silence him. Anyway, they had done this kind of thing many times.
"Little guy! It's impossible to let you go. Don't blame us. If you want to blame someone, blame your own mouth! "
The leader of the ruffians didn't wait any longer. With a fierce look, he stabbed the horn knife in his hand toward Ye Kong's abdomen.
Although the opponent was fast, Ye Kong's eyes and movements were not the same as a year ago. Although he didn't have magic, he didn't care about these ruffians at all.
A trace of mockery flashed across Ye Kong's eyes. His hand moved like lightning as he clamped the horned knife between his two fingers.
The leading ruffian tried to stab forward, but he couldn't move forward at all. Knowing that he had met a master, he shouted to the other ruffians, "This guy is hard to deal with. Let's go together!"
Ye Kong didn't wait for the others to approach. He struck out with his palm and roared, "Go!"
Ye Kong's palm hit the center of his chest, and the strong and powerful man was unexpectedly sent flying by the weak and frail body of Ye Kong. With a loud bang, he crashed into the wall and fell to the ground. He twitched twice, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
It seemed like this martial art was not cultivated for nothing! Ye Kong was delighted. He used the Lightness Skill, Ten Thousand Miles Flight, that he had secretly learned before. His hands were similar to the Cloud Platform Falling Leaves Palm. He dodged and dodged among the local ruffians, easily dealing with them.
Those local ruffians were all mediocre, and none of them could last one round against him. Ye Kong had the agility and strength of an Elementary Immortal, so he didn't hold back at all. In the blink of an eye, he took down all of them.
The last one was a skinny man. Seeing that the situation wasn't right, he turned around and ran while shouting, "The Dragon Snake Gang will find you for revenge!"
"Brat! I'll let you have a taste of the earth's ruffian's brick! " Ye Kong picked up a brick by the side of the road and followed him like a shadow, smacking the back of his head!
"Pa!" That ruffian's head was smashed like a broken watermelon, and red and white matter flowed out.
"F * ck, so disgusting." Ye Kong held back his vomiting. This was the first time he killed someone with his own hands. Although he wasn't terrified, he still didn't feel good.
The last ruffian's words reminded him that he couldn't leave anyone alive. However, facing those heavily injured ruffians, Ye Kong still couldn't bear to kill them.
"Use a knife to slit their throats? Or continue smacking their heads with bricks? It's all quite cruel … "Ye Kong pondered. He didn't hesitate to hit them, but he couldn't help but be merciful when it came to killing those who were heavily injured.
"Ah! Murder! "A scream came from the entrance of the alley, and a figure turned around and ran out.
Ye Kong knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he picked up the brick and smacked them one by one. Then, he shouted, "Murder!" Then, he mixed into the crowd and left.
Standing in front of the Ye Mansion, Ye Kong's heart was still thumping. This was the first time he killed someone, and it was six of them. Six lives, and he smacked their brains all over the place …
"Eighth Young Master, you're back." Old Li the Fourth welcomed him with a charming smile.
"En en …" Ye Kong was a bit distracted. He looked down at the clothes, and after seeing no blood or brains, he heaved a sigh of relief and entered the Ye Mansion.
He returned home absent-mindedly, and the moment he entered, he heard an ear-piercing woman's voice.
"Did you do it on purpose! You know that Second Madam is waiting for this new dress, but you haven't finished it yet? "
"Grandma Hu, you just brought it this morning, and I didn't stop at lunch. Please wait for a while, and I'll finish it before dark." Chen Jiuniang said in a low voice.
"Before dark? Can you afford to delay Second Madam's business? " Grandma Hu's bossy voice came again, and then her voice suddenly became gentle, "If not, I'll put in a good word for you in front of Second Madam, but I don't know if Second Madam will listen to me."
Chen Jiuniang suddenly understood, and said hurriedly, "Grandma Hu, thank you for your hard work. Please accept these two taels of silver."
In fact, Grandma Hu's purpose was to extort some money. She deliberately sent the embroidery work late, and then asked for it in advance, so that Chen Jiuniang couldn't finish it, and then she would benefit from it.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Seeing the silver, Grandma Hu immediately became happy.
But just when she stretched out her hand, she heard a cold snort behind her, "You let others do the work for you, not only do you not pay, but you also want to take money. Is there such a reason in the world?"
Grandma Hu was not a kind person, and she was a tyrant in the outer court of the Ye Mansion. Her son also changed his surname to Ye with his master, and he was highly skilled in martial arts, so everyone in the outer court was afraid of her, and called her Grandma Hu behind her back, which meant that they couldn't touch the tiger's ass.
Grandma Hu had heard some rumors recently, but she didn't see anything to be afraid of in front of a child, so she put her hands on her waist and showed her power like a tiger.
"Chen Jiuniang! Look at how your son is talking to me! Do you want my son to teach him a lesson for the general? "
Ye Kong sneered, "Then let your son do it. I'd like to see who has the guts to teach me a lesson for Ye Haoran."
Ye Kong had just killed someone, and his ferocious aura was unmistakable, which made Grandma Hu feel a kind of fear rising in her heart.
"Humph, hurry up, I won't argue with an ugly woman like you." Grandma Hu's words were a little soft, but she shouldn't have scolded Chen Jiuniang.
"Pa!" A crisp slap landed on Grandma Hu's old face.
Grandma Hu was stunned, and her first reaction was to ask Ye Kong, "You dare to hit me?"
Chen Jiuniang was also shocked, Grandma Hu's son was highly skilled in martial arts.
Before she could stop him, Ye Kong slapped her again, "Yes, I want to hit you!"
"Just you wait!" Grandma Hu screamed, covered her face, and ran out.
Chen Jiuniang was scared, "Kong 'er, her son Ye Hai is highly skilled in martial arts, and he works in the yamen! How about … we take the money to apologize to her? "
"Mother!" Ye Kong held Chen Jiuniang's shoulder, looked into her eyes firmly, and said, "Mother, don't worry, Kong 'er has grown up, I can protect you! Can you believe in me? "
Chen Jiuniang looked at Ye Kong, and her deep eyes were filled with determination and perseverance, like a seven feet tall man who had a responsibility.
"Mother believes in you."
Soon, Ye Kong returned to his room. He knew that Ye Hai had really practiced martial arts, and could be said to be highly skilled and experienced. He could even exchange blows with Ye Haoran, and the difference between him and the ruffians that Ye Kong had just killed was not one or two levels.
If he fought with Ye Hai, he would not have any chance of winning if he only relied on his speed and half-baked martial arts.
Therefore, he had to make the best use of the time to draw the talisman. Although the yellow talisman was used to treat illnesses, it could also have the effect of defeating the enemy.
Ye Kong initially prepared to draw the Soul Lock Talisman. The effect of this talisman was to preserve the patient's last breath. When a person was about to die, their soul would also ascend to heaven. In order to preserve the patient's last breath and delay the process of ascension, this Soul Lock Talisman was used.
The principle of this Soul Lock Talisman was to isolate the soul, making it impossible for it to move. At the same time, it would cut off the connection between the soul and the limbs. After being hit by this talisman, the brain would still be clear, able to hear and see, but would not be able to move at all, not even blink.
It was already dusk, but the room was exceptionally bright. The fiery red sunset in the distance seemed to have plated everything in the room with a golden red color.
Ye Kong put down the yellow paper, and used a paperweight to press down on the paper. Then, he took out an inkstone, washed it, and put it in water. He crushed a small piece of cinnabar, and used a square stone that he had prepared earlier to press it down, and slowly ground the inkstone.
While grinding the cinnabar, he immersed his consciousness into the bier, flipped open the Encyclopedia of Talismans, and memorized the strokes and requirements of the Soul Lock Talisman one last time.
Actually, according to the book, before drawing the talisman, one must bathe, change clothes, burn incense, pray to the heavens, and ask Old Lord Taishang to descend to the mortal world for help.
Ye Kong did not think much of this. He really could not see the connection between bathing, changing clothes, and drawing talismans. As for asking Old Lord Taishang for help, that was even more ridiculous. No one in Cang Nan Continent believed in these things, but didn't people still achieve Dao and ascend?
From Ye Kong's point of view, the reason for ascension was because your strength was too strong, so strong that this world could no longer contain you. The Heavenly Dao was balanced, so you could only be sent away.
This was all a matter of strength, not whether you believed in Old Lord Taishang or not, or whether you took a bath.
