Skilled in managing a house

After Hong Yuanpo finished speaking, Li Fan immediately followed up and said: "That's right, even if we don't run into each other in this round, we will run into each other in the next round. I think it's better to just draw lots and tell them by the way, which two will go first? Go up, which two come up last."

He doesn't have a backer, and his status in Lu Zu Pavilion is not particularly high. Even now, he is not as strong as the abbot. So in this case, drawing lots is relatively fair.

"Okay, let's draw lots." Qingmeizi nodded in agreement.

Xiong Jian was competing with anyone, but he couldn't beat anyone anyway, so he nodded and said, "It will work if you draw lots."

These three all agreed, and Hong Yuanpo was not in a position to object, so he agreed.

Seeing this, Master Lu said: "Okay, then let's draw lots to determine the order according to your wishes."

Doing this kind of thing is naturally very simple, and there is no need to write a note or anything.

There are lottery cages in Taoist temples for drawing lots. He took out four bamboo sticks, with one, two, three and four written on them respectively. He put the bamboo sticks into the bamboo sticks and announced the rules. That is, No. 1 and No. 2 will compete in the first round, and No. 3 and No. 4 will compete in the first round. On the second round.

Afterwards, lots were drawn according to seniority. Among them, Li Fan is considered the senior one, so he comes first.

He suddenly drew a "two" number, and then Hong Yuanpo came to draw.

Hong Yuanpo took it out and saw that it was number "1". Good guys, the two of them faced each other directly.

In order to show fairness and impartiality, Qing Meizi and Xiong Jian also came up and slapped them. Sure enough, they were No. 3 and No. 4.

The order has been decided, so there is nothing more to say. Hong Yuanpo and Li Fan walked to the middle of the square. The two of them were polite for a moment, and then got into a posture.

Li Fan took out four fire talismans, and Hong Yuanpo also showed out the fire talismans.

"Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!"

"Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!"

The fire talisman was immediately ignited, turning into a fireball and shooting towards the opponent. Eight fireballs collided, setting off brilliant sparks.

However, Li Fan's cultivation level is obviously higher than Hong Yuanpo's. In fact, the grade of the talisman paper is one level higher than Hong Yuanpo's.

Hong Yuanpo's fire talisman was directly scattered, and although Li Fan's fire talisman was mostly scattered, it still flew towards Hong Yuanpo.

Hong Yuanpo was startled and leaned forward, awkwardly avoiding the fire charm.

In fact, just by getting started, the winner can be determined. Hong Yuanpo is no match for Li Fan.

Li Fan immediately took out four more fire talismans, and Hong Yuanpo, who was lying on the ground, knew that it was bad. He had to show the seven-star jujube sword now, otherwise, he would lose this round.

He didn't have time to get up and hurriedly took out the seven-star jujube sword from behind. Since it was a martial arts fight, the mahogany sword was naturally allowed to be worn. But others didn't notice that Hong Yuanpo was not carrying an ordinary mahogany sword.

As soon as the sword was in his hand, Hong Yuanpo recited the mantra silently and pointed the seven stars on the sword's body at Li Fan.

Li Fan's four fire talismans had been lit and he was about to throw them out when suddenly a white light flashed in front of his eyes and he closed his eyes quickly. Taking advantage of this moment, Hong Yuanpo got up, and the seven-star jujube sword in his palm escaped and shot straight towards Li Fan.

"ah"

Li Fan screamed in pain and fell to the ground. He threw all four fire talismans aside and blood spurted out of his mouth. "Pfft"

Hong Yuanpo raised his hand to take back the seven-star jujube sword, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for the permission."

There were also several apprentices under Li Fan, who hurriedly ran over to help their master up. Li Fan was unable to stand at all, his chest was so tight that he couldn't even speak.

After being helped down by his disciples, Hong Yuanpo also walked back swaggeringly.

There were many discerning people present who could tell that Li Fan had a higher level of cultivation than Hong Yuanpo. I just couldn't understand why Li Fan clearly had the opportunity to attack Hong Yuanpo with the fire talisman first, but the fire talisman was hit by the "Peach Wood Sword" before he could take action.

At this time, no one would investigate what was on the "peach wood sword" used by Hong Yuanpo.

This is the end of the first round, followed by the second round of competition between Qing Meizi and Xiong Jian.

When the two of them walked to the middle of the square, they inevitably had to be polite.

Qingmeizi clasped her hands and said, "Immortal Lord Immeasurable, I hope my junior brother will be merciful later."

"Infinite Heavenly Lord, Senior Brother" Xiong Jian also spoke politely, but in fact he had no confidence at all and was no match for Qingmeizi.

But before he finished speaking, something suddenly exploded in front of him.

I heard chaotic footsteps coming this way, and someone shouted loudly: "The riot police are coming. The riot police are coming."

Upon hearing this, all the Taoist priests present were stunned. What were the riot squad doing here when they had nothing to do?

In the blink of an eye, I saw a few young Taoist priests running over first. Behind them, there was a large group of riot police officers. It looked like the number of people could be two to three hundred.

Seeing this formation, all the Taoist priests were in shock, and they all whispered, "What's going on?" "Why are there so many riot patrols?" "Is this an illegal gathering?" "It doesn't count."

While they were muttering, they heard the riot patrol shouting loudly: "What are you doing? So many people gathered here? Who is taking the lead here?"

Following the shouts of the riot police, the arriving riot police dispersed one after another. Many of them had guns in their hands, and they looked like they were performing some important mission.

Seeing the gun pointed at them, the Taoist priests panicked and no one dared to say anything.

Immediately afterwards, more than forty well-equipped riot police officers and special operations team members surrounded one person and walked toward the center of the square. The Taoist priests on the periphery got out of the way one after another, so that no one could get into trouble. Qing Meizi and Xiong Jian, who originally wanted to fight, quickly moved out of the way.

Others didn't know what was going on, but Xiong Jian still knew a little bit. Originally, in his opinion, there was no sign of any disaster that could happen to Lu Zuge.

It's so good now, but so many riot patrol officers have been killed. What happened?

The person being surrounded had a military rank, and it was none other than a colonel. The colonel looked serious, said nothing, and exuded dignity.

Arriving in the middle of the square, you can immediately determine who has the final say here. The people in Yangchun Guan sit at the door of the main hall, which can be regarded as the most central position.

"Who among you has the final say?" A riot patrol officer pointed directly towards Yang Chunguan's position.

Master Lu didn't know what was going on. He stood up, clasped his hands and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, the vice president of Pindao Zhenhai Taoist Association, and the abbot of Yangchun Guan. Everyone is here, I don't know what's going on. ?”

After hearing his call, the colonel just waved his hand forward and said nothing.

Immediately four explosion-proof patrol officers rushed to Lu Zhenren's table, and one of them shouted: "So, this is what you said! Then come with us!"

"Where are we going with you? I haven't broken any laws!" Lu Zhenren shouted in a deep voice.

After all, he is the abbot of Yangchun Temple. He has never seen any big scenes, so how can he be frightened by these riot patrol officers.

"You dare to say that you haven't broken the law!" the riot patrol officer shouted sternly: "We just broke up the Jade Heavenly King drug trafficking gang and killed the Jade Heavenly King. He is the Taoist priest named Hai from Lu Zuge! The amount of drug trafficking by the Taoist priest Hai is huge. As far as we know, the abbot of Lu Zuge is also There is no trace, and he is most likely one of the leaders of the drug cartel. With so many of you gathering here now, do you have some conspiracy?"

Upon hearing this, Master Lu almost spit out a mouthful of blood. What is this? You, Lu Zuge, are so brave, you dare to sell drugs!
