Chapter 259 Lightning Strike
The eldest son of the Wang family stood in the yard, the sky was extremely gloomy.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared, and then there was a thunderbolt.

The eldest son of the Wang family fled in a panic, looking at the inexplicable attack with frustration and shouting angrily: "How dare you sneak attack me!"

"Haha, what kind of rat is this?" Li Daoxuan's paper man transformed and stood in front of the eldest young master of the Wang family.

He smiled at her, and then continued, "What a coincidence, we meet again. I never thought that the eldest young master of the Wang family would still be obsessed with me and was thinking of plotting against me."

"It's you!" The eldest son of the Wang family glared at Li Daoxuan, "How dare you, little thief, bully me!"

"I let you escape a few times before, but I will not let you go this time."

"Really? What a boast!"

Li Daoxuan put his hands together and uttered a spell.

Suddenly, golden light shone everywhere.

The talisman on the paper man emitted colorful light, and the sky and earth changed color in an instant.

"Ah! Get out! Get out!" The eldest young master of the Wang family seemed to sense the threat and waved his hands wildly.

"Thunder roars in the sky, Lord Mengli. I have received your order and summoned you to descend quickly. I have raised clouds and spewed out mist, and I have hurried to the altar. I have led the five generals, and searched the mountains and rivers. I have captured all the spirits and ghosts and brought them to you. I will follow the emperor's order and carry it out immediately!"

Li Daoxuan shouted loudly, and lightning shot up into the sky.

The light was like a big sun, illuminating the entire Yangzhou city.

Then, thunder.

The dark clouds came like a tsunami.

The roar was endless and thunder dragons were roaming in the clouds.

Purple lightning flashes, like the god of thunder striking the world!

At the moment when his eyes were brilliant, billions of thunders gathered and fell.

"boom--!!!"

The thunder roared and shook the earth, and the inky night seemed like a black curtain set on fire.

The people of Yangzhou City all ran out of their houses in fear, staring in amazement at the rumbling thunder in the city.

"what is that?!"

"Lord Thunder has come to the world!"

"I am guilty, don't kill me!"

"Mom, I'm afraid!"

There was a chaotic mix of voices, and countless people were either surprised or scared.

They had never seen such a scene before.

It's like God is angry.

Until the thunder died down, the wind and clouds subsided, and the world returned to its previous color.

Li Daoxuan looked at the place hit by the divine thunder. It was already burnt to a crisp, and the eldest son of the Wang family was lying on the ground. He was also completely black. He was breathing in more than out, so it seemed that he was not going to survive.

Just as he was about to walk over and deliver another blow, the eldest son of the Wang family, who had already been chopped into charcoal, suddenly jumped up and pounced towards him.

"How could I lose to you!"

The eldest son of the Wang family roared and attacked Li Daoxuan like a madman.
Li Daoxuan was suddenly surprised. He didn't expect that this guy had been struck by lightning, but he could still get up and attack so ruthlessly.

However, when he took a closer look, he found that the eldest young master of the Wang family was obviously seriously injured. Although his movements were fierce, they were not coherent, and it seemed that he was always a little short of the necessary moves.

Li Daoxuan was not in a hurry when seeing this. He dodged left and right while looking for an opportunity, preparing to use thunder magic again to finish off this mortal enemy.

Suddenly, a bell-like laughter was heard, and a pair of black and white boys jumped towards him.

The black and white boy was very fast and cut the paper man in half before he could react.

"Little Taoist, you can't kill him." The familiar woman showed her stunning face. She smiled at Li Daoxuan and a yellow talisman popped out of her hand.

"break."

The paper man burned and turned into ashes, and Li Daoxuan who was attached to it also disappeared for a while.

When everything was quiet, she looked at the young master of the Wang family who was lying on the ground and twitching, and said faintly: "You are a loser, you are so embarrassed, and you like to talk nonsense. I will save you this time, but if there is a next time, don't blame me for turning you into a corpse."

After these words were spoken, the black and white boy carried the eldest young master of the Wang family on his back, and with the melodious sound of bells, the group disappeared into the dusk.

Mrs. Yao sat in her chair feeling a little uneasy, she knew this matter was not simple.

She also heard the thunder and rage just now, and she felt very nervous.

Only when she saw Li Daoxuan open his eyes and stand up did Mrs. Yao breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank God, you're okay." Mrs. Yao seemed particularly happy.

"Is the matter finished?"

"Let that man run away." Li Daoxuan sighed lightly.

"It's okay, as long as everyone is safe." Mrs. Yao said.

Li Daoxuan could only accept this fact, thinking that the young master of the Wang family would be crippled if not dead after being hit so hard by him. He might have fewer opportunities to cause trouble in the future.

It’s a pity that he escaped, otherwise killing him would be the best option.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Yao, Li Daoxuan returned to his room to rest, but Qian Bowen unexpectedly came to his door.

He told Li Daoxuan that he was ready to leave and also told Li Daoxuan where he was buried.

"Aren't you going to see Madam Yao?"

"I won't go. It's better not to see you. It will only add to my sorrow."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to go where I should go. Now that things have been put to rest, there's no need for me to stay in the Yao family any longer."

He looked at the faint candlelight, and his whole body blended into the night.

……

After dawn, Li Daoxuan stood in the yard and saw a coffin in the yard.

The servants carefully picked out the bones in the box one by one, washed them meticulously, and then placed them in the wooden coffin to form a human shape.

Yesterday I told Mrs. Yao the origin of the bones, and she cried for a long time.

She didn't expect that she had not been able to find Yao Nianchun's body for a long time, and it had been buried in the backyard for many years.

"Young master, this thing was found in the tomb." A servant hurried over and said respectfully to Li Daoxuan.

The servant handed over a jade pendant with the words "Bo Wen" engraved on it.

This was something that was found from the place where Qian Bowen said the bones were buried. Li Daoxuan informed Mrs. Yao about this early in the morning.

Li Daoxuan knew that this kind of jade pendant was usually carried by scholars, so he put it away carefully. He knew in his heart that Madam Yao would definitely not keep the jade pendant even if he gave it to her.

After packing up Qian Bowen's body, he had someone put it in a box. He asked Mrs. Yao where Qian Bowen's home was.

Mrs. Yao looked sad, but still pointed out the place to Li Daoxuan.

After so many years, Mrs. Yao's feelings for Qian Bowen had long faded. Even when she learned that Qian Bowen's grave was also in the backyard, she did not feel much emotional fluctuation.

Come to think of it, there aren't many love promises made under oath in this world. In the end, they all turn to dust and return to the ground.

Time is not only the best medicine to heal wounds, but also the most ruthless wave. Even the strongest feelings will be washed away by time.

When he found the Qian family, Li Daoxuan saw the gate of a wealthy family, but it looked a bit dilapidated and desolate.

Li Daoxuan heard from Mrs. Yao that after Qian Bowen disappeared, the Qian family searched for him for many years. In the end, Qian Bowen's mother cried herself blind and still needs someone to take care of her.

Now it seems that the two old people are pitiful, not knowing that their child has been dead for many years.

Li Daoxuan looked at the elderly Mr. Qian and handed the jade pendant to them.

After he finished talking about Qian Bowen, Mrs. Qian, who was originally being supported by someone, could not bear the blow. She rolled her eyes and fainted.

"Thank you, thank you!" Mr. Qian's old face darkened a little.

He hunched over and thanked her in a low voice.

He held the jade pendant tightly, his hands shaking violently.

"Uncle Qian is right there. He has been buried. Please accept my condolences." Li Daoxuan pointed at the wooden box and said softly.

After doing these things, he left the Qian family.

Beside the lotus pond in front of the door, Li Daoxuan slowly turned his head.

Looking again, the Qian family was once full of guests and prosperous.

But now, the green tiles, blue stones and mottled walls are covered with moss.

Only a few people passed by, hurrying away on the weeds between the stone slabs.

The truth is, the world is changeable.

Perhaps this is how the world is, there are always joys and sorrows, separations and reunions.

Li Daoxuan didn't know why Qian Bowen had never come back to visit. Maybe he didn't want his affairs to be known by Old Lady Qian.

Sometimes, it’s better to be dead than alive.
