Peach Blossom Button

Luan City, originally a little-known small town in the south, has become extremely lively in recent days.

The dust was flying, and the carved wheels were grinding on the dirt road of the small town. The people sitting on tall horses were all covered with silk and satin, and they were all covered with veils, as if they were afraid that the flying dust would get on their faces.The already narrow dirt road was packed full of gorgeous cars pulled by these horses, followed by a large group of well-dressed men and horses in different costumes, who seemed to be people from the quack.Residents in the city were frightened and curious, hiding at home and opening the windows, secretly looking at things that they hadn't seen in decades of life.

It is a deserted city with few people, but it is really rare to welcome so many wealthy families.

Most of the people in the city hid themselves, except for a tea stand, where three undisciplined people sat, glanced at the mighty team of horses and horses, and each drank his own tea, which seemed to be commonplace.

"Did you see that? It's the convoy of the bustling chamber of commerce. It is indeed the largest chamber of commerce." One of the bearded men glanced at the chariots and horses, and said to the white-clothed scholar sitting opposite him, "Master Mo really has a big face. To be able to invite this God of Wealth to celebrate his birthday!"

The scholar in white took a sip of the tea in his cup, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Master Mo is a great power in the world, and his puppet art is unparalleled in the world. Boss Jin can come here specially to celebrate his birthday, I'm afraid it's something he wants."

This scholar is very eye-catching among the few people, his white clothes are spotless, like satin in the black hair and jade crown, his skin is like white jade, his peach eyes narrowed with a smile, he looks like a snow-white fox.

When he said this, the bearded man became even more interested: "Little brother is right! I heard that this birthday banquet, Mo Zhuang mainly brought out the things that have been studied for decades, what kind of treasure is that? Puppet Villa is really going to come up with the bottom of the box now, I think this world is going to..."

The man was spitting all over the place, the white-clothed scholar frowned slightly, and immediately lost interest in drinking tea.He put down his teacup and spread out his white fan to fan the wind, but his eyes turned to the convoy heading out of the city.

The convoy gradually drifted away, when suddenly two children rushed into the street, one of them was about to crash into the most gorgeous car, a black shadow jumped out from nowhere, and the wind seemed to blow the child away. Take it off, and then, the sound of a sharp blade falling to the ground, the carriage also stopped.

From the brocade curtain, stretched out a plain hand with a gold fingertip, and made a gesture.The person who looked like a bodyguard took the order, quickly dismounted and walked over, shouting sharply: "Who is doing this here!"

His hands were like pliers, firmly clamping the two ragged children. The young man in black glanced at the short knife that fell on the ground, and answered the guard expressionlessly: "Assassin, I caught it."

Picking up the dagger on the ground, the guard's eyes wandered between the two "children" with fierce eyes and the poisoned dagger, and finally landed on the young man in black, nodded slightly, and ordered to the left and right: : "Let's deal with it on the spot." But before the people on both sides made a move, the two children suddenly showed ferocious smiles on their faces, and then rolled their eyes, and they lost their breath.The young man in black seemed to be thinking about something, and withdrew his hand, and the child killer fell limply.

"It's unlucky!" The guard frowned, who knew that he met two killers on the way, and they both committed suicide by taking poison!He put on a gentle smile again, turned around and cupped his fists at the stunned young man in black: "Brother Tao is still very strong in martial arts, thank you for your help, get on the horse, the villa will be here soon."

The young man in black nodded slowly, led the horse beside him, and continued on his way with the Chamber of Commerce team.

From the distance of the tea stand, the face of the young man in black could not be seen clearly, but the scholar in white seemed to find it extremely interesting, his eyes were fixed on the young man in black all the time, and there was still a vague smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The one in black is really good at martial arts," the big bearded man clicked his tongue, "The two little thieves are not weak in martial arts, they dared to break into the crowd like this because of their good body skills!

Among the three, the old man who drank tea silently put down his teacup and stared at the white-clothed scholar who was shaking the fan, his eyes were burning like a torch: "Mr. Bai, can't you recognize all kinds of martial arts? What is the number of roads?"

But the white-clothed scholar just shook his fan and smiled: "I can't see it now."

Saying so, he put the tea money on the table, put the fan back on his waist, got up and said: "We are all going to the Puppet Villa, we will meet again, and it won't be too late."

The convoy marched mightily towards the cliff.It was almost dusk at this time, the setting sun was sinking, and the afterglow was scattered among the mountains. The iron chains connecting the cliffs and the Puppet Villa were shimmering and glowing, as if they were covered with a layer of fire.

The villa is built on top of a mountain that has been flattened by a giant axe. There are no friends in the lonely mountain. Mowei is a deep cliff. There are only four huge iron chain bridges connecting the four directions. The Taotao River is under the cliff. Once it falls into the cliff, there will be no bones left .As soon as the chamber of commerce convoy arrived at the cable bridge, the puppets standing by the bridge immediately retreated to the side. Immediately afterwards, layers of iron sheets covered the bridge deck originally formed by iron cables so that the convoy could move forward.

Tao Mo rode on the horse and followed the convoy of the chamber of commerce. He couldn't help but glanced at the real puppet again.

"Brother Tao, this is the first time you've seen a puppet, right?" The guard just now smiled at him, "This is considered rough, and once you enter the villa, you can see it more real."

"More real?" This so-called "roughly made" puppet is already very close to human beings. He really can't imagine what the so-called "more real" puppet will look like?

Tao Mo seldom showed such a surprised look, the man immediately smiled proudly and said: "I followed the master to the village many years ago, and fell in love with a beautiful woman who brought tea and water at first sight. The beauty is actually a puppet, what a joke."

Tao Mo was surprised when he heard this, but the expression on his face was still colder than that of ordinary people.The man knew that the young man in black was usually reticent and expressionless, and he was quite surprised to show such a slightly surprised expression, so he smiled understandingly: "There are few people in this puppet villa, most of them The servants are all puppets, Brother Tao will be able to see them in a while."

"Yes," Tao Mo nodded, "Thank you, Brother Wang."

"What's there to be thankful for!" The man smiled and patted him on the back, "We have to thank you more, thanks to you who helped us repel those thieves and took a knife for the master. You are very grateful, alas, we are all to blame for the incompetence of our group of guards..."

Tao Mo suddenly stopped talking, and then slowly asked: "Seriously, find out, are those thieves from the White Tiger Gang?"

As soon as Tao Mo mentioned this, Wang Yong's expression suddenly became serious, and he nodded: "Yes, Brother Tao asked about this, but do you have doubts about the identity of that group of people?"

Tao Mo nodded, lowered his voice extremely low, and said cautiously: "Not all of them."

A person who cherishes words like gold, if he has doubts about a certain matter, if he speaks a few more times, others will definitely believe his judgment.Even though enough evidence had been dug out from the corpse, Wang Yong's heart skipped a beat at this time, panicked.

But Tao Mo didn't care about the panic in his heart, he just lowered his head in thought and remained silent, then returned to his usual expressionless face, and never spoke again.

The convoy moved forward slowly. At this time, the setting sun faded away and fell into the cliff. The lonely moon hung in the sky, and there were no stars.

When the convoy of the bustling chamber of commerce crossed the iron bridge and walked to the gate of the villa, an old man rushed out to greet the leader and bowed to the leader: "Welcome all distinguished guests."

At this time, the people and horses opened their screens to the two sides to get out of the way, revealing the carriage carved with gold and jade in the center of the team. Respectfully opened the curtain, and placed the white jade stepping beside the car.

Tao Mo led the horse, and watched the wealthy businessman get off the carriage. The ostentation was full of luxury, which was incompatible with this puppet villa.He looked around and saw four big characters crookedly engraved on the plaque of the huge iron gate in front of him: Senluo Villa.Under the night, two groups of lights hung beside the door, and a huge iron eagle squatted above the door, condescending, bathed in the firelight, with a ferocious look in its eyes.Looking at the sallow-faced old man welcoming guests who was dying, he looked a little ghostly, and Tao Mo felt that this place was extremely weird.

Even though he was new to the rivers and lakes, he could keenly feel the strangeness of this place. Suddenly, there was a sound of a machine behind him, and he suddenly turned his head to look, only to see that the iron plates on the iron bridge for the carriages were pulled back again and again like shed skin, and finally It became the former chain bridge again.

The torrential river is mixed with the night, under the cliff, rushing endlessly.
