At this time, the four young cultivators had already chased for three to five miles. How could they not hear An Zaining's response? The four of them had also returned. When the four of them heard that An Zaining had been killed in the temple, all of them were aggrieved. The four of them immediately went over to the body of An Xin and knelt down while swearing, "Seniors, you two have died a miserable death! If you have spirits in heaven, ghosts will walk slowly. The four of us will definitely catch the culprit and avenge you two! " After the four finished their crying, they went to find a reed mat to cover the two of them.

He picked up a lantern and took his men to the northeast corner to check out the fight. He wanted to analyze the clues and solve the case as soon as possible. There, Pushin picked up the knife left behind by the thieves. Pookie picked up the hat the thief had left behind. The Dharma and Rufeng, carefully look at the footprints on the ground.

"This footprint was left by two people, one tall and the other short. There's no third party." It's possible that two thieves have arrived at the same time. "

The men looked at the knife and hat again under the lamp. There was a cross mark on the hat, and there were many stains on it. It was half new and half old. It was a hat worn by a monk. The edge of the blade was bright green. It was about a foot long, and as it flicked its finger like a bell, the sound gradually disappeared. Farmer took it in his hand and said, "This is a treasured blade. Look at the shape of the knife. It's not made in China. " He then carefully looked for the marks on the blade. There was a line of English on each side of the handle. None of them knew who he was, so they hurriedly returned to the house to let Fang Dang identify him.

The abbot looked at the evidence and said angrily: "The British have gone too far! The man who killed us and plotted against us is from the Church of England. On one side of the blade was the word 'British Empire' and on the other was the word 'Heroic Leader.' I won't forgive them! " The crowd was also furious. They all said, "We will enter the city to collect our debt of blood and treasures!" Both of them said: "Let's go and smash their church! We will kill them all!"

"There are several English churches in the city," said the abbot calmly. "I don't know which English church the thieves came from. He had to find out before taking revenge on them. I think there are good people in the British, too. We can't blame them. " Puxian said angrily, "They don't have any good people! They are all murderers who have come to plague our country. Even their archbishop, Letimoth, is hypocritical to us; he is merciful. Let's just go and copy them one by one! " "My senior brother is right," said Pookie. Letimoth was also a good man. He runs his school in China solely to promote his colonialist ideas and to make us tame their English looting. In class, they told the students something that had deceived us. They attributed the Opium War, the British invasion of China, to China's barbarism as a trade conflict. In fact, it was the British who bombarded China with cannons and looted countless pieces of gold and silver. It was clear that they were the ones who were brutally bullying people. They also described the treaties they forced us to sign as the result of an Anglo-Chinese friendship and as the most advantageous trade agreement for China. It was all nonsense. In fact, it was they who bullied us in order to plunder our wealth for a long time. These were all spread out by the gentlemen of Tsinghua University. Look at him, he's an Englishman. Or rather, plagiarize them one by one! "

Fa Tong thought about it carefully. "For a time, it is difficult to know exactly which overseas church the murderer came from. Back then, when the Boxers entered the city, the priests and the soldiers massacred the members of the Boxers, causing them to become furious. They tore down churches of all sizes, burned them down, and destroyed them badly. Priest Yang also lost a lot of money. Then the Japanese Black Dragon men, pretending to be the Boxers, slaughtered the priests and destroyed their churches. Because of the lack of a church, some of the priests were afraid that the Black Dragon would attack them, so they had to live together with the missionaries of several countries. Some of them even rented churches. The order of the foreign religion was chaotic. There are still dozens of churches in the city, so it is not easy to tell which are English. So before we know which church the murderer came from, we must be reckless. "

"I know of an English church," Pushin said. "They were the ones who plotted against us. This church used to be a mosque church. The Arab missionaries there were long gone. The missionaries who live there these days are English. We have watched them practice martial arts. This group of people all had very high martial arts skills. They didn't look like a bunch of Christians at all. I knew four of them: one was the tallest, named Maclay, one was the shortest, named Challee, and the other was known by the name of Tiny. The other two were tall, one was thin and named Lally, and the other was fat and named Li Gao. Whether it was long fists or short fighting skills, the four of them were pretty good. Among them, McCree and Challee were both very skilled at running around. It's almost as good as us. They flattened the roof of the church as if it were flat ground. I predicted that these people would be the ones to kill us and steal our treasures. "

It was exactly this group of Englishmen who had plotted against the National Guardian Temple to kill and steal their treasures. It turned out that the name of the priest in this mosque was Mary. He was a sinister fellow. He plundered my national wealth, stole my cultural relics, and was an old hand in spying on my country. When he was young, he came to China and preached in Chengdu, Sichuan. Because he often used various names to plunder people's wealth, the Chinese people have repeatedly caused discontent. He forcibly took over the house and built a new church, ordered his men to drive away the people, and caused strong resistance from the local people. The owner of the occupied house kept having people go to the church to argue with them, and there was a fight in the church. Mary saw that many of the people who had gathered to make trouble were women of their church. Mary, with hatred in her heart, tricked the women into the church, first flogging them and then ordering them to be insulted. His clergy took the opportunity to rape women in turn. This was not enough. In order to show his power, Mary ordered her men to strip the Chinese women one by one and whip them into the streets. When the news spread, it aroused the hatred of everyone in Chengdu. Angry people gathered thousands of people and rushed into the church at night to seek revenge on Mary's gang. The Manchu troops of that time were also dissatisfied with the beastmen of Mary's party, and secretly supported the people in their revenge against them. Mary looked around for help, but no one paid any attention. Mary saw that there was no hope for help, but she could not defeat the angry crowd. So he packed his gold and silver jewelry and carried them on his back, under the protection of Mackry, Challee, Lally, and the Highlanders, and fled through the night to Guangzhou. Mary to Guangzhou has been rejected by fellow church, no place to find. He went to Shanghai and was rejected by his fellow sect members. Mary had no choice but to come to Tianjin, where she found the English archbishop, Letimoth. He bribed him with a lot of money, and he got a lot of money from him. Letimoth sent Mary to the Bishop of Shanxi. Mary was proud again.

The Japanese empire was growing stronger in northern China and was expanding southward. Japan's aim is to monopolize China. Therefore, a large number of Japanese Black Dragon Secret Service agents used various means and identities to impersonate Chinese citizens, members of the Boxer League, and martial artists to carry out assassinations of foreign priests and burn down foreign churches and other activities. The Boxer League had been disbanded for many years, and they were still pretending to be members of the Boxer League as they attempted to assassinate the priests. English missionaries in Beijing suffered heavy losses, and spy agencies were badly damaged. Li Timo knew the truth that the Black Dragon would pretend to be Chinese. He fought against the Japanese secret service in order to secure the position of the British spy agency in Beijing. He looked around for capable people. Inmali and his gang were all skilled and skilled. Li Timothy also brought Mary's group from Shanxi to Beijing to deal with the Japanese special forces.

Mary first came to Beijing and lived in the Sishku church. He had no church of his own. As foreign missionaries were often assassinated by the Black Dragon, the Arab missionaries in the mosque were frightened into returning home. He rented the church to Mary. Mary and her men moved into the mosque church from the Sishku church. In the beginning, the mosque church was huge and was often harassed by the Black Dragon. Mary saw that she had too few subordinates to stand alone in Beijing, let alone contend with the organization of the Black Dragon Association of Japan. From Tianjin, Shanghai, Shanxi and other places, he brought a group of skilled and competent English missionaries. The Black Dragon Guild of Japan had never been able to do much to this group of people. The British missionary espionage agency has thus secured a foothold in Beijing. Mary was even more proud now. He was valued not only by Leroy, but also by the British Legation and consulates. Mary has been in Beijing, in addition to the public collection of cultural relics, mainly engaged in dealing with Japanese special forces activities.

Mary has stepped up surveillance of the Japanese Secret Service since the news that Yuan Shikai is going to sign a secret treaty with Japan. He often sent his experts, McRae and Challee, to scout the Black Dragon Society's special forces monastery. They were also slightly better than the Japanese, and they discovered several hidden Japanese spy lairs. The Japanese were unaware of their prying.

That day the two nuns of the Japanese convent, Gu Liu and Fan Jing, discovered that Rufeng was hiding in the monastery and went back to report. Macley, who had been on his way that night, had overheard the news. McLean hurried back to report to Mary. Mary was delighted to hear that Rufeng was hiding in the temple. He'd long since wanted to capture Ruo Feng, and obtain the treasure from him. It was difficult to find the location of the mountain. Mary had worked hard. He had a clear understanding of Ruo Feng's appearance, age, and personality. He also drew a portrait of the mountain and told his men to follow the map to find out where the mountain was. He couldn't find the mountain.

Mary heard that the men of the Japanese monastery had found the mountain and were going to get the treasure from its hands. Ignoring the people in the monastery, he instructed McCree and Challee to keep an eye on the monastery and seize the treasure first. Maclay and Charley were even more arrogant, and both said, "Most of the people in the monastery are women. What's so great about them? If Ruo Feng and that treasure were to fall into their hands, then we will snatch it away from them. " "Don't worry, sir," they assured Mary over and over again, "the treasure must be yours." Mary was delighted.

On the night that the Japanese spies surrounded Yutan Temple and went to capture Yutu Mountain, Macley and Charley also followed the men to Yutan Temple. The two of them had thought that the ones who were going to capture Ruo Feng would be women, so there wouldn't be many of them. It was only when they arrived at the temple that they found out that the Japanese agents who had come to capture Rufeng numbered more than forty men and women. Both Mac and Challee were surprised. They hid in the dark and didn't dare to act rashly. The two of them were afraid of being caught by the Japanese secret service agents, so they grabbed ahold of them first. Maclay and Charley had been watching the Japanese secret service from the shadows, planning to hunt the cicada and the oriole.
