Chapter 61 Swallow Li San
What Li Daoxuan encountered in Longling was something he had never encountered in his previous life or this life. From the initial panic to the current adaptation, even he himself was amazed at how adaptable people are.

There was a time when he was afraid of even killing fish and chickens. But now, looking at the scene of broken limbs and blood gushing out, he was not only overly thrilling, but also really indifferent.

At least as the Taoist said, it is better to go out into the world than to practice in the mountains for a hundred years. After going through this dangerous experience, if I encounter disasters in the future, I will not be able to face them calmly, but at least I will be able to face three or four disasters.

"To practice Taoism, one must first cultivate the mind. The saints will not deceive me." Li Daoxuan sighed in his heart.

Although his body still felt torn, it was much better now. He hid in a corner where no one could notice him. There were piles of gold, silver, jade and stones around him, and he reached out to touch a few and put them in his pocket.

Since he was already here, how could he leave without taking some souvenirs? Besides, he still needed these things to deal with that Taoist priest.

He did not intend to fight for the things on the nine-story platform, nor could he fight for them. After all, the group of people led by the woman in white were obviously coming for the golden coffin.

How could a boy like him compete with these capable people? Moreover, it was not only the group of people coming that he sensed just now, but also many people who were watching from a hidden place, or some of them were secretly collecting money.

Li Daoxuan glared at the thief beside him who was doing the same action as him, and a gleam of light flashed in the other's slender rat eyes.

Both of them placed their hands on an object at the same time, each holding it tightly and refusing to let go.

"I advise you to let go, otherwise you will be in trouble when my brothers come." Li Daoxuan said threateningly.

"Tsk, little brat. Do you think I'm stupid? If those people were your brothers, they would let you stay here alone. I advise you to let go quickly. I can pretend I didn't see it." The other party also refused to compromise and stared at Li Daoxuan. The two of them competed secretly and didn't care how lively the fight outside was.

This man is really a thief. When Li Daoxuan was fighting with the old Taoist, although he did more defense than attack, he was able to counter each other's moves. This man must have seen it all, and at this moment, instead of backing down, he started to compete with Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan guessed that this person was either stupid or had some remarkable abilities.

The two of them were holding a jade pendant with a gold border that looked very valuable. The jade pendant was about the size of a palm and had the word "jue" engraved on it. It was placed on top of the pile of gold and silver, in an exquisite wooden box with the lid open. It had not rotted for a hundred years.

Li Daoxuan had taken a fancy to this thing just now, and his intuition told him that this thing was not simple. When he just took it out, he found that someone had the same vision as him and also took a fancy to this jade pendant.

Looking at this man, wearing night clothes and with a rope in his hand, judging by his attire and especially his eyes, he might not be a member of the orthodox thief sect.

The people of the four major and eight minor sects that have a true and orderly inheritance, no matter what their livelihood is, can also produce some people with extraordinary status in the martial arts world, and the thieves are also like this. Thieves also have their own code of conduct, and they often regard themselves as chivalrous thieves, and they emphasize robbing the rich and giving to the poor. However, among the thieves, such chivalrous thieves are in the minority after all, and the rest are mostly greedy and lustful people. It is precisely because of this that the thieves have a bad reputation and are quite disgusting in the martial arts world.

The rope in his hand is a sheep-leading rope. Combined with the thieves' unique stealing skills, it can be considered a great tool for climbing mountains and crossing ridges, and climbing walls.

"Since both of us are interested in this thing, why don't we have a competition and decide the winner?" The thief thought that it would be a bad idea to continue the stalemate. After all, he entered the tomb to seek greater benefits. It was not a good idea to continue the stalemate with this kid, and he was a little hesitant to teach him a lesson.

Few people who can come to Longling are easy to mess with. Moreover, I just watched the whole fight between this kid and the old Niubizi. Although I can't see much, it seems that it seems to be not simple. If I underestimate this kid, I might suffer.

His burglar skills are great, but his leg skills are just so-so. After all, it's not a life-and-death battle, as long as he can protect himself and escape.

"How do we decide the winner?" Li Daoxuan secretly used his Dan Qi and brought the box towards him. The thief did not let go, and sweat was on his forehead. He quickly said, "How about deciding the winner by the number of dice?"

"Yes." Li Daoxuan responded immediately without thinking.

"Good boy, you are quite to my taste." The thief smiled and took out two dice from the bag behind him. He picked up a scattered covered bowl from the pile of gold and silver, covered it with the bowl, and swung it in the air. Finally, he turned it upside down on the wooden box and made a "please" to Li Daoxuan.

"Guess the size." The thief said, pointing at the wooden bowl.

"I guess, big." Li Daoxuan rarely smiled and felt comfortable with the thieves' way of deciding the outcome.

When it comes to guessing the size of the dice, he is better than anyone else.

It was not for any other reason, but because his divine eye could see everything in the bowl. The dice were laid bare in front of him, without any concealment.

"No wonder there is a rule in Taoism that you cannot gamble, otherwise, just relying on this Heavenly Eye, I would be the richest man." He was secretly sighing at the power of the Heavenly Eye, when he suddenly felt the dice in the bowl change direction to small. "Then I'll guess small! Haha," the thief said, untying the golden bowl.

Li Daoxuan glanced at the thief, and in his heart he ridiculed him for cheating. He shook the hand that was pressing the wooden box, and changed the dice to a higher number at the moment when the thief opened the golden bowl.

Looking at the dice on the wooden box, the smile on the thief's face froze. He stared at Li Daoxuan for a while, then loosened his grip on the wooden box.

"I keep my word. This thing belongs to you. Good boy, I've been in the underworld for so many years, and this is the first time I've lost a roll of dice with a kid. Do you dare to tell me your name?" the thief asked.

"Li Daoxuan of Jinling." Since he was facing a man of the martial arts world and he himself had not been ordained, Li Daoxuan gave his name in this way.

"I'll remember you, kid. I'm going to leave my name in the underworld as Swallow Li San, so remember it well." The thief named Li San said, and left with a few somersaults.

Li Daoxuan was speechless as he pondered over the name.

"Swallow Li San? That's really interesting."

I already know a lot of well-known figures, so it's no big deal to have another Swallow Li San. But I didn't expect Swallow Li San to also participate in Longling, which was really surprising.

In the movies, TV shows and books I watched in my previous life, this person was known as a chivalrous thief and was said to often travel around the capital. I didn't expect that he would come to Jinling and steal in Longling.

It seems that the opening of Longling is no secret, at least many people from the martial arts world have mixed in.

After putting away the jade pendant, he felt that the pain in his body was relieved a lot. He left the corner where the burial objects were hidden, looked at the battle situation in the tomb and prepared to find an opportunity.

The Taoist already knew about his relationship with the Li family. If he didn't root out the problem, the entire Li family would probably suffer.

Don't believe that a Taoist who can command the five devils' soldiers still has good intentions in his heart.

This is also the reason why Li Daoxuan had the opportunity to leave but did not leave yet.

He couldn't bring risk to the Li family, even if there was a slight possibility.

Looking at the yellow-robed Taiping bandits fighting with the white-robed people, Li Daoxuan took out a piece of gold from his sleeve. He wiped his fingers across the burning human fire on the ground and placed an inch of flame on his fingertips.

Looking at the flickering flames, Li Daoxuan's expression turned grim. He burned the gold with fire and melted it into liquid gold.

Take out a piece of white jade and slowly drip the gold liquid on the white jade.

The so-called golden rules and jade regulations are like cloud-engraved jade inscriptions.

Casting characters with gold and making jade talismans are the best secrets of the Xuanmen sect.

This method was passed down to him by his uncle Jiu.

But Uncle Jiu warned him that although the Golden Rule was powerful, it would waste money and energy. If there were other methods, it would be better to use them sparingly.

This is the method of talismans from the Xuanmen Tantric Buddhism, which is the jade law that reaches from the nine heavens to the underworld.

"I have used the golden rule to forge this to punish the evil!"

Using Qi to control the golden liquid, he drew a talisman on the white jade. Then he could see a faint glow in it, and the great Qi was already inside.
