Chapter 36: One Tiger Suppresses Two Wolves
Li Daoxuan jumped down from the roof, his hands posing like a white crane spreading its wings. He kicked sideways like a rabbit, using the momentum of his fall to kick one of them.

Seeing that the tall man with horizontal skills had the upper hand, his ears moved suddenly. Hearing the sound of wind, he stretched out his arm to block it, and felt that the force on his arm was quite strong, and even his stable lower body was shaken.

He stepped back a few steps, staring with his eyes as round as pearls at the man who attacked him without any moral integrity.

However, the man took advantage of his outstretched arm to move upwards, turned in mid-air, and kicked the other man sideways, causing the man to parry in panic. He took several steps back before he stabilized his body and looked at the sudden man in a defensive posture.

"My name is Wang Huan. May I know who you are?" The tall man introduced himself as Wang Huan, and the iron rings made a faint sound when he raised his arms and clasped his fists. Li Daoxuan covered his face and revealed his eyes, and glanced at the man. He couldn't see clearly from the upstairs just now, but now that he was so close, he realized that this man was not simple.

But under the loose clothes, his limbs were all swollen. It seemed that something was tied to his arms and ankles, adding some weight to him. And the clanging sound of the iron rings must be the iron that was used to train his body. So it seems that this person should focus on external hard skills, and this Luohan Fist may be a simple practice.

Li Daoxuan did not respond at first, but just clasped his fists in return. Then he looked at the other man, who had a chicken beak and rat teeth, and thin eyebrows and eyes. Just by looking at his face, you can tell that he is not a decent person. If the face reflects the heart, then this person must be a very evil person.

Perhaps because of the look in the eyes of the nameless visitor, the man quickly gave his name.

"My name is Lin Yuanzhi, and I'm from Hangzhou. I haven't done anything evil or stolen in the past few days." This person described his recent situation and separated it from the incident of the Li family being robbed. He wanted to clear himself of the relationship with the thief to avoid trouble in the future. After all, everyone had heard about what happened in the past few days, and no one wanted to get into trouble for no reason.

Listening to the two people's words, Li Daoxuan was silent for a while. He used his energy to change his voice so that his voice would not sound so childish.

"What are you two doing here?" A hoarse male voice came, and the two of them looked a little more relaxed. They looked at ease, a little more relaxed than the alertness just now. After all, they were people who were willing to communicate, which was a good thing for everyone.

If this person helps the other person without saying anything, then the person will be in danger and will have to die here tonight. Judging from the way he kicked them away just now, the martial arts of the newcomer is not bad, even better than the two of them. If he really wants to kill, no one can stop him from killing two wolves with one tiger!

After seeing the situation clearly, his willingness to fight was reduced to the minimum. Wang Huan glanced at Lin Yuanzhi, lowered his head and said respectfully to Li Daoxuan: "Please forgive me, senior. I have a grudge against this thief. I offended you today because I was impulsive. It is my fault."

Great revenge? Li Daoxuan caught the key words in this person's words, and he looked at another person inadvertently. The man named Lin Yuanzhi shrank his neck and smiled at him sullenly: "Senior, don't listen to this fool's nonsense. I, Lin Yuanzhi, have always been upright in the world. How could I do such a petty theft?"

"Hey! You bastard, you are so shameless. Didn't you steal my Xinglong Order? If you don't return it to me, don't even think about leaving Jiangning Prefecture!" Wang Huan's face was cold and angry, his eyes staring far away. His voice was obviously suppressed, and his words were dull.

After all, judging from the noise they made when they fought, it was clear that they didn't want to make a big deal out of this. Otherwise, they wouldn't have run to the back of the Li family's house and chosen a secluded alley to fight.

"You fool, when did I take your Xinglong Order? I bought that thing at the stall, but you didn't look for the stall owner, but came to trouble me. It's really unreasonable. I spent all the money, do you want to take it for free? I told you long ago that I would give it to you if you gave me two hundred taels, but you kept chasing me all the way." Lin Zhiyuan was not a good person either, and his mouth was very sharp. Wang Huan was speechless after hearing these words, and couldn't tell whether it was good or bad for a long time. He could only look angry and stare at the other party with hatred.

This is not surprising. After all, those who can afford 200 taels of silver at this age are considered wealthy families. After all, since the Opium War in the 20th year of Daoguang, the price of silver has been rising. In the early years of Daoguang, one tael of silver could be exchanged for one dang of money, that is, one thousand coins. After Xianfeng, the price of silver soared, and one tael of silver could be exchanged for as much as 2,200 to 2,300 coins. It can only be said that a large amount of silver was lost, and even if the Qing Dynasty had a lot of silver, it could not withstand such a toss, let alone in the future.

Although Wang Huan was a martial artist, he was not from a wealthy family. He had practiced martial arts since he was young, probably to make a living in the future. After all, if he could not go to school, there were only a few options. Not to mention two hundred taels, he might not be able to come up with twenty taels in a short time.

Li Daoxuan listened to the conversation between the two and was somewhat curious about the Xinglong Order they mentioned. Seeing that the two were about to fight again, he mobilized the Qi in his Dantian and moved it through the meridians of his hands. He secretly stepped on the gravel, causing dust to fly everywhere. At this moment, he picked up a piece of gravel in each of his left and right hands and shot it at the two men like a musket bullet.

The two men's faces changed drastically, and they both used their body movements to avoid the flying debris. There was only a sound of iron and stone colliding, and the sharp sound spread in all directions.

Wang Huan touched his arm with the steel ring on it, and his eyes changed drastically when he looked at Li Daoxuan. If he was just cautious before, now he was extremely fearful. Lin Yuanzhi covered his bleeding palm and gasped. He no longer had the cynical expression he had just now.

He is actually a master of internal martial arts! Wang Huan and Lin Zhiyuan thought about it in their hearts, speculating on Li Daoxuan's identity. After all, there are not many masters of internal martial arts in Jinling. And those people are all famous people in the martial arts world, and no one dares to cause trouble there.

The so-called internal and external cultivation, an external martial arts expert may not be proficient in internal martial arts, but an internal martial arts expert must be an external martial arts expert. This is not one plus one equals two, but the difference between three and four. I am afraid that even if several people who are proficient in external martial arts are against each other, they may not be the opponent.

Fearing the existence of Li Daoxuan, Wang Huan also completely gave up the idea of ​​​​making a grudge. He bowed respectfully to him and said seriously: "From now on, I will never take action in this Lijia Village, please rest assured, senior."

"Me too." Lin Yuanzhi said along with him.

"What is the Xinglong Order?" Li Daoxuan asked.

Wang Huan was confused, but more of a fear of the person in front of him. In addition, he thought that if it was a master of internal martial arts in Jinling, he could take the opportunity to do a favor, so he didn't hesitate and told Li Daoxuan about the Xinglong Order. It turned out that the Xinglong Order was something that was recently circulated in the martial arts world, and it was said to be related to the Taiping Army.

The Taiping Army fought wars in the south and the north, and it is said that they broke into the tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and stole countless gold, silver and jewelry from it, burying them near the Xiaoling Mausoleum in Jinling.

Later, the Taiping Army was wiped out and the wealth disappeared. There are rumors that the Taiping Army hid the treasure at the seventh inch of the dragon vein, and only those who hold the Dragon Order can have the opportunity to find the place. Because it is on the dragon vein, it is also called Longling.

"Longling?" Li Daoxuan couldn't help but feel puzzled. He suddenly remembered the abstract map left by the female thief and felt that it might be related to Longling.
