Poor Monk

"The ice worms in Pengshan have only been accumulated for decades. The young master wants to save him, but he may be powerless."

"I know."

"Knowing that you can't do it, it's not like the temper of the young master in the past."

"How's it going outside?"

"The news has been released according to your instructions. The Tianshui League went straight after the demons. Although Yao Qing knew that Shen Du was in our hands, because you threatened his life, he could only suffer from being dumb and deal with Tianshui. The menacing attack from the League. According to yesterday's news, they have already formed a group near Wufengkou. Next, what will the young master plan?"

……

Tong Bo followed Gu Zhao out, walking slowly, but neither of them made any sound.

Pengshan is an island off the east coast.

This is Gu Zhao's usual residence, because he is the next person in charge of Pengshan, and has become the actual person in charge in recent years, so the best part of this scenery is reserved for him.

Standing and looking down, you can see the whole scenery of Pengshan Mountain.

On the other side, you can see a tall building with carved beams and painted buildings, which looks like a nine-fold heavenly palace. It is the famous Tianyue Tower in Pengshan.

Take the meaning of "heaven from now on".

Gu Zhao looked far away, and then landed on the raised cornice of Tianyue Tower, remembering that not long ago, Shen Du pointed his sword at him and said that if there was another time, he made plans but couldn't kill him, he would kill him , Hang his dog's head on the top of Pengshan Tianyue for everyone to see.

"Shen Duren is in my hands and my life is in my hands. Yao Qing dare not act rashly. I told her to go east and she didn't dare to go west. The demon way is under control. It's just that the Tianshui League is always a big worry. Dongfang Ji is not fuel-efficient. If he can escape from his hand, I am afraid that this Zhen Chiyin will not be a good friend to him."

Gu Zhao stopped and stopped in front of the railing on the second floor.

"Another thing, is there any movement in Xiefeng Villa?"

"I also believed the news you released. After learning that Yaomodao has rescued Shen Du, it seems that he is secretly contacting Tianshuimeng, wanting to share a piece of the pie together. Calculate the distance, maybe the letter will be delivered tomorrow. "Tong Bo's eyes are a little old, "Lu Fan is cunning and insidious. He has always suspected that the essence of martial arts has fallen into the hands of Shen Du, and he will not give up easily. Find Tianshui League, then find Pengshan, and the three parties will work together to eliminate it. Demon Wei said, it should be the top choice."

This was exactly as Gu Zhao expected, and there was nothing unexpected, so he stood for a while, and finally asked, "Have you found Ni Qianqian?"

"Still looking." Tong Bo shook his head, "Since the last Tianxia meeting, she has disappeared, and I have never seen her in the world."

"Then keep looking."

Gu Zhao was silent for a moment, then didn't continue to speak, but withdrew his palm on the railing, and walked down the steps step by step with his hands behind his back.

Tong Bo didn't follow, but just watched from behind.

The days in Pengshan seemed very clean.

After all, this place is on an island in the East China Sea, and there is no mundane disturbance of other sects in the rivers and lakes, but it is a bit too clean, which makes Shen Du feel unspeakably restless.

He wants to escape from here.

Having dealt with Gu Zhao for more than five years, he really knows what kind of person this is. If he is not profitable, he will not bring him to Pengshan for no reason. There must be some different plan behind it. .

The demon said he didn't care, but Yao Qing was still outside.

Listening to Gu Zhao's words before, Shen Du could guess that he probably set up a situation outside to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. No matter what happens, the success of the situation is what he values. Yao Qing's life and death are definitely not up to Gu Zhao This kind of person is under consideration.

Therefore, he not only wants to go out, but must go out.

Only after staying for two days, Shen Du found it really difficult to go out.There is Tong Bo guarding outside, and although his current poison has been suppressed, but the injury is still there, hard fighting may not be able to break through.If you want to find out some news, the boy who delivered the medicine is deaf and dumb and doesn't understand anything, let alone the well-trained people outside, none of them will be easily fooled.

In Pengshan, he was blind in both eyes.

And Gu Zhao himself seems to have something to do. He comes here about once a day, every time at dusk, sometimes making tea and sometimes playing chess. swear words.

Shen Du began to suspect that Gu Zhao was someone else pretending to be.

On the third day, Gu Zhao came again.

It was still dusk.

So Shen alone drank the medicine and stared at him for a long time, but he didn't see any human skin mask on his face, but he was keenly aware that his current martial arts had improved somewhat compared to before, After thinking about it, he laughed: "Three volumes of Buddhist treasures really fell into your hands. But there is always one thing that I don't understand. Tell me, where are the real descendants of Martial Saints now?"

Gu Zhao is looking at the chess record.

Hearing the voice, he didn't raise his head, nor did he deny the first half of his sentence, but only answered the second half of his sentence: "What do you want to say?"

"It's nothing, I'm just suddenly bored and want to guess."

Shen Du took a sip of the medicine, only to feel that it was bitter to the bottom of his heart, and felt that Gu Zhao couldn't find a single piece of sugar or even a little sweet thing in this house, which was really fucking bad.

"Lu Feixian was dying of a long illness. Everyone said that Wu Sheng became bloodthirsty in order to find medicine to cure her illness. Therefore, there are rumors about the son of Wu Sheng in the world. He is born weak, after all. Mother is such a person with a disease. However, the blood left by a person with a disease must also have a disease, so can't you practice martial arts?"

With a pause of his fingers pressed on the chess record, Gu Zhao finally raised his head and looked at Shen Du with extremely calm eyes.

Shen Du only frowned and put down the remaining half bowl of medicine.

He looked at Gu Zhao very directly, with a bit of undisguised inquiry in his eyes, and even a bit of a smile: "Gu Zhao, when Wu Sheng fled to Tianji Temple to sit down, his son had five words at least. Six years old, right? Tell me, why can't he be a healthy and even gifted martial arts prodigy?"

Gu Zhao nodded: "It makes sense, but now that you have left Tianji Temple, you have no chance to display your ingenuity. Otherwise, you might be able to set off a new bloody storm in the hall that day."

He didn't panic at all.

Shen Du thought that Gu Zhao was really an interesting person.

But on second thought, why should he panic?Many things in this arena are in his calculations, and those ordinary people have not yet been able to fight him.

So he shook his head and sighed: "I am a dying person, and I am not interested in bloody storms. It's just that I think of the details of the hall so far, and I feel that there are some things to ponder. The monks don't tell lies, and the abbot who died He is highly respected, but he firmly said that there should be a scar on the chest of the descendants of Wu Sheng close to the heart vein. How old was the descendant of Wu Sheng? How could such a small child be wounded near the heart vein? It is dangerous and his life hangs by a thread ..."

Just like when Shen Du drew his sword and stabbed Gu Zhao in the dark alley of Yiyang City.

Gu Zhao dared not react too much, because he knew he would not kill him; and he dared to strike this sword because he knew how accurate his sword was, and it would hit just near the heart veins, and would not kill him. It really took Gu Zhao's life.

How can the descendants of Wu Sheng explain it?

Shen Dupan sat opposite the chess table, randomly picked up the pieces on the chessboard and played with them in his hands, he could easily see the winding purple veins on his palm that never faded, so he didn't want to look any more, and moved the pieces again. Put it back in place.

Gu Zhao was looking at him, but he didn't look at Gu Zhao.

He just said: "I don't know anything about the real descendants of martial arts saints. Since you have obtained the essence of martial arts, you must know more than me. Is there any story in it?"

"What kind of story do you want to hear?"

Gu Zhaoping smiled calmly, his eyes even had a little bit of warmth in his eyes, and he answered the question.

Shen Du said: "I thought it was a story about a fairy couple. But now I want to hear a more exciting and scary story."

"That may mean that Lu Feixian is not a fairy, nor is a martial sage." Gu Zhao lowered his eyes, seemed to ponder seriously, and said, "Maybe Lu Fan, the owner of Xiefeng Villa, has always had an ambition. Wanting to know the secret of why Wu Sheng's martial arts are unrivaled in the world, he asked his younger sister Lu Feixian to approach Wu Sheng. Unexpectedly, he was finally discovered by Wu Sheng, so he was betrayed when he was finally besieged by the heroes, so Wu Sheng was seriously injured and fled Go to Tianji Temple and die."

"Looking at Lu Fan's virtue, it's really possible." Shen Du nodded, but then said, "But it doesn't sound exciting enough, it's not scary enough, and it doesn't explain why there should be an old line near the veins of the descendants of Martial Saints." Scar thing. Can you make it up again?"

Gu Zhao then put down the chess record, put it on the chessboard with many chess pieces, picked up the most inconspicuous chess piece in the corner that Shen Du took just now, and smiled lightly: "It's simple. Wu Sheng was obsessed with martial arts all his life, but in the last few years of his life, he was always killing. The bad guys killed the good people, which completely exceeded the needs of Lu Feixian's treatment. Therefore, Wu Sheng may have gone mad. So, the mind Under unclear circumstances, it is not unusual for his son to almost kill him with a sword when he was young, leaving a scar near the heart vein."

"If you look at the story you made up, Lu Feixian chose to betray the Martial Sage back then, and instead used the silver moon hook to seriously injure him. Maybe there is still a reason." Shen Du also thought for a while, as if Gu Zhao felt that this time Satisfied with the story he told, he also laughed, "It is said in the world that these are a pair of fateful mandarin ducks, but I am curious, did the descendants of Wu Sheng ever mention to you that there is true love between these two people? ?”

"No mention."

Gu Zhao shook his head, and gently changed this unattractive chess piece to the Tianyuan position in the center of the chessboard.

The movements are obviously ordinary, but he has a feeling of fiddle with the world when he does them.

Shen Du smacked and smacked, feeling that the bitter taste in his mouth had dissipated, so he picked up the medicine bowl again and took two sips slowly. After a while, he looked at Gu Zhao and said, "There is an old wound near the heart of the Martial Sage. Scar, you said I want to take off your clothes now, how many scars should there be near your heart?"

"One." Gu Zhao smiled, "Do you want me to take it off for you?"

This conversation was no different from what they had said outside the main hall of the Buddhist monastery.

Shen Du shook his head: "Not interested."

He drank the remaining medicine in one last gulp, then casually put the medicine bowl on the edge of the chess table, and stopped talking.

Gu Zhao also stopped talking.

He sat in the house until the sunset, when there was no light in the sky that belonged to the day, he got up and left.

The stars are shining outside, and the moon is as cool as water.

He went all the way down the steps, returned to the study room where he was temporarily staying, and sat behind the desk chair, lost in thought.

After a while Tong Bo came in.

Gu Zhao heard it, but didn't care. He didn't know whether he was talking to himself or asking, and murmured, "Isn't it ridiculous that a cruel-hearted person is defeated and conquered by a soft-hearted person..."

Tong Bo frowned and didn't answer.

He didn't come empty-handed. He was holding a small red sandalwood box in both hands. The shape was nothing special, but the whole body of the box was carved with a lotus pattern.

Gu Zhao turned his eyes and saw it.

He asked, "Where did it come from?"

Tong Bo put the box in front of Gu Zhao, which also allowed him to see more clearly: not only the lotus pattern of Baoxiang, but also a square "卍" seal on the closed lock of the box!

This thing comes from Buddhism!

Tong Bo said: "Half an hour ago, it was sent from Tianji Temple, and it was given to the young master by name."

Looking at the "卍" seal, Gu Zhao lost all expression on his face, and even his heart was filled with gloom. With a stretch of his hand and a flick of his fingertips, he easily opened the lock and opened the lid of the box.

Lying in the box was a bone the size of a knuckle.

Probably because the time has passed too long, the original dry bones already have a strange jade-colored luster, looking radiant.

Even though he had never seen it before, when he saw this small dry bone, Gu Zhao already knew what it was.

Tianji Chanyuan Karma Pagoda, killing Buddha relics!

What's more, it's "by name and surname", and it's going to be delivered to him!

At this moment, thousands of thoughts passed through the depths of his mind like roaring waves, and finally only Shen Du's original sentence "It's really a contest, you can't beat him" was left echoing and trembling in his ears like crazy, Let the murderous thoughts in his heart rise sharply.

The book case and the relic box were overturned to the ground at once!

There was no trace of a smile on Gu Zhao's clear and dusty face, he pinched his brows, and there was only a frost shrouded in his eyes, gloomy and gloomy.

Chapter 95 Going to the entire martial arts forest, I will try my best to let him die in front of the Zhige stele, just like when I was encircling and suppressing martial arts saints back then.

On the fourth day in Pengshan, Shen Du was still thinking about how to leave.

There are three problems he faces: the first is that his injuries are not healed, the poison is in his body, and his strength is severely damaged, so he has little chance of winning by force; the second is that he is located in Pengshan, and the sect is full of people. The sword; the third is that he does not know the outside news, so even if he escapes by chance, he has no idea what will happen to him.

Especially, he didn't know the news about Sunjae.

In other words, it was precisely because he didn't know the news about Shanzai that he couldn't stay in Pengshan safely, and he didn't want to stay in Pengshan safely, but urgently planned to leave.

First of all, he should recover from his injuries, and secondly, he should pretend to be good, and at the same time, he should quietly pay attention to the news from the outside, to see if there is a chance to get in touch with something else.

So these days, Shen Du began to pretend.

He still targets Gu Zhao from time to time, and doesn't make any changes, just because if he pretends to be too obedient, it will arouse his suspicion; Jue healing.

However, after three or five days, the injury has already healed for the most part.

It's just that Shen Du also discovered something different from usual: In the past few days, Gu Zhao didn't know what he was dealing with, and he appeared less often, and every time he appeared, his expression was not very good.

His intuition told him what Gu Zhao was thinking about.

On the evening of the eighth day, Gu Zhao came again.

The little boy who came with him also brought the medicine and put it in front of Shen Du.

Shen Du was sitting by the window reading Gu Zhao's book, trying to play chess records on the chessboard, took a look at the medicine, the soup was dark brown, no different from the past, but when he picked it up and drank it, he frowned: "The medicine has changed? "

"Changed."

Gu Zhao couldn't see any embroidered patterns on his green robe, it looked simple and freehand, his voice was light, but there was only a little bit of coldness in his eyes.

"Aren't you used to drinking?"

They are all medicines, so where is there any saying that you are used to drinking them?

But he is not used to suffering.

Shen Du took another sip, and the more he tasted it, the more he felt that the taste was very strange, as if the entire prescription had been changed, so he asked, "What did you change?"

"Killing Buddha relics."

Gu Zhao stood in the room with his hands behind his back, a pair of clear and insightful eyes suddenly flashed many dark emotions, but the corners of his lips curled up again in an instant, as if he didn't realize the shock these five words brought to Shen Du, and he still understated it of.

"You might as well guess where it came from?"

The hand holding the medicine bowl trembled uncontrollably, and trembled again, causing the medicine in the medicine bowl to ripple, reflecting Shen Du's pale and bloodless face.

He stared at the bowl of Chinese medicine, but felt that the medicine was all red.

A deep red, as if what he was holding was not a bowl of medicine, but a bowl of blood!

The killing Buddha's relic can cure all poisons.

This thing is only available in the Ye Pagoda of Tianji Temple.

The monk tricked him into going back to the monastery probably because of this thing, but now Gu Zhao actually said that this thing is in the medicine bowl he is holding now!

"Yes, yes..." His voice suddenly became hoarse, and he became a little dazed. He wanted to say something, but he seemed to be struggling to say it, "Did he send it?"

"laugh."

When Gu Zhao saw his distraught appearance, all the smiles that had been on his face before disappeared completely, and after a quick turn, it became infinite sarcasm.

"What if I say no?"

Unexpectedly, after he said this, Shen Du acted as if he didn't hear it, or he didn't care if he heard it, and only asked him: "Where are others? Did you come to Pengshan too?"

At this moment, Shen Du's expression was something Gu Zhao had never seen before.

It was clearly not a very happy expression, and even revealed a bit of unspeakable hurt and sadness, but when he asked this question, there was a smile on his lips.

Gu Zhao felt that even when he was eating candy, he didn't look so good.

The bottom of his heart began to ache uncontrollably, as if the old and new wounds on his chest had been torn open again, giving him a sense of fate that made him extremely disgusted.

It is impossible to have both fish and bear's paw.

If he wants one thing, then God will force him to give up another thing.

Facing Shen Du's question, which completely ignored his rhetorical question, Gu Zhao felt that he should have murderous intentions to strangle him to death, but for some reason, they burned to ashes the moment they appeared.

He watched Shen Du for a long time.

But until he withdrew his gaze and walked out of the room almost numbly and coldly, he didn't answer Shen Du's question.

The afterglow of the setting sun slanted in the west came through the window.

The room was covered in blood like red gauze.

Shen Du sat beside the chess table, staring blankly at the concoction that was gradually cooling down in the bowl, and slowly realized that the monk could not have come in person, after all, what he left behind was a dead butterfly, and he was the one who asked for it. Asked a very silly question.

His hands were still shaking.

At this time, a voice in his heart shouted to him frantically: You don't need this medicine, if you drop it, what you need is not to live!

But how could he be willing?

Shen Du blinked his eyes, and sat like a clay puppet holding the medicine bowl until night, and waited for the medicine juice to cool down completely before burying his head in drinking the medicine.

The moment I lowered my eyes, the tear that had been hidden for a long time also rolled into the medicine.

He didn't get the taste of it, he just felt that it was mixed with medicine and everything was bitter.

That night, Shen Du did not fall asleep.

His mind was full of the bowl of medicine that night, Gu Zhao who brought the medicine to him, and Gu Zhao's reactions these days, his meticulous thinking did not slacken in the slightest because he was in deep trouble and seriously injured. Soon, he found the clues he needed from the clues.

So Tianming finally laughed before he fell asleep.

After drinking the bowl of medicine that was said to contain the killing Buddha's relics, the medicine that was brought every day stopped, and Shen Du vomited blood several times in the next few days, all of which were purple-black poisonous blood.

It was not until the fourth day that I finally vomited cleanly.

On the night when he felt that his strength had fully recovered to the point where he was not affected by the Baitong poison, Shen Du finally walked out of the door before Gu Zhaolai, and asked a few words with Tong Bo who was standing not far from the porch outside.

"Where is Pengshan's boat parked?"

"Exit this pavilion and head northwest."

"Shanzai from Tianji Temple, where is he?"

"If you break the precept, you will be imprisoned in Yeta and repent."

"OK, then I'm leaving."

"Hmm, get out of here early, good morning, the evil spirit."

"..."

Everything was fine before, but when it came to the last sentence, Shen Du suddenly realized that it was true that he didn't like Tong Bo, Tong Bo really didn't like him at all, and he didn't hide it at all.

He laughed out loud.

But at this time, this kind of dislike was exactly what he needed, so he didn't care about it, just took his two swords, waved his hands, turned around and left.

Standing under the eaves, the Tongbo people looked at the extremely handsome back of the devil, and then thought of Gu Zhao's struggles in the back of the crowd these days, and it was a little complicated for a while.

Who is right and who is wrong, I really can't tell.

It's just that I didn't expect that, before he could sigh for a moment, there was a sound of shouting and killing in the magnificent building complex of Pengshan under the setting sun!

"Come here! There are foreign enemies breaking into the Jiange!"

"It's Shen Du!"

"It's that big devil! Come on, catch him!"

Tong Bo's whole body jerked violently, and he didn't react for a while, he didn't know why Shen Du ran for his life to make such a big commotion, but just a flash of thought, his whole body turned cold.

on purpose!

This devil definitely did it on purpose!

Tong Bo, who wanted to understand the key points, had already scolded this ignorant demon in his heart, and quickly rushed to the railing to look down.

At this moment, the whole Pengshan was alarmed.

Under the bright shadow of the setting sun, Shen Du's figure is like lightning when he is fast, and like a flying bird when he is young, jumping between the houses, as if entering a land without people!He didn't take the famous Pengshan into his eyes at all!

Gu Zhaozheng was discussing matters with the people in the door at Tianyue Tower, when he suddenly heard voices from outside, he had a somewhat bad premonition, and when he came out and took a look, the bad premonition became a reality.

He flew down and directly blocked Shen Du's way.

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, there is a thousand words in his stomach that he can't say, and the anger has already ignited.

Naturally, he could easily guess why Shen Du escaped and made such a big commotion. He just wanted everyone in Pengshan to know that he appeared within the range of Pengshan without warning, so that Pengshan would suspect him. How did you get here.

In this way, no matter what the result is, he can be defeated.

After all, he, Shen Du, is a well-known big devil on the way of demons, and Gu Zhao, known as the number one immortal in Pengshan, is determined not to be involved with demons and heretics.

So at this moment, there was no flaw in Gu Zhao's reaction, he just pointed his sword at Shen Du, with a cold and solemn expression: "Master Shen is coming, and I am far away to welcome you. I don't know what is the reason for this visit?"

"It's nothing, I just heard that your Pengshan holy medicine ice worm is very famous, so I borrowed some to use. Gu Shaoshan is so generous that he wouldn't refuse, so I just took it." Shen Du opened his eyes and said nonsense. Looking at Gu Zhao with a smile, "I still have things to do, and I want to see someone, so I won't stay any longer and take my leave."

As soon as the words fell, the person turned into a phantom, trying to forcefully break through from Gu Zhao.

How could Gu Zhao let him go so easily?

Almost at the moment when Shen Du came violently, the Toad Palace Sword from his waist turned out and pointed towards Shen Du!

The two quickly fought into a group.

How can the rest of them catch up with their speed and skill?

At this moment, I could only watch the two figures moving and turning on the house, and the battle was unclear. After a while, they had already reached the distance, and then a dark blue sword light suddenly appeared, and Gu Zhaoru, who was dressed in green robes, was hit hard He was knocked out, fell on the roof above the sword pavilion, and staggered a few steps.

At this distance, no one could hear what they were talking about.

Gu Zhao lowered his head and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Shen Du held his sword and looked at him coldly at the other end: "The play is really good, even the most capable performers in the troupe will feel ashamed when they see you."

"Are you crazy!"

Gu Zhao didn't listen to it at all, and he hardly fell asleep in the past few days, so his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole face revealed a kind of paranoia and ferocity that he knew he couldn't do.

"Do you know how many people outside are waiting to kill you?!"

How many people are waiting to kill him?

Shen Du didn't need to count at all, because the number must have no end in sight.What's more, there is Gu Zhao in front of him who must do everything possible?

After knowing each other for five years, he still can't guarantee that he can tell the truth of every sentence he says.

But don't worry about it right now.

Shen Du reflected the crimson sunset in the sky, sheathed the Snow Deer Sword, looked lightly at Gu Zhao, and smiled faintly: "Isn't that exactly what you hoped for?"

When the words fall, people will drift away.

Gu Zhao stood on the high place of the Jiange, pressing on his chest the slight injury he had just suffered when he fought Shen Du, and just watched him go all the way to the seaside where the sails were docked in the northwest of Pengshan Mountain, with anger and paranoia on his face All gradually faded away, until at last there was only a terrible peace.

He knew it, and Shen Du knew it too.

When he leaves Pengshan and rushes to Tianji Temple desperately, the whole martial arts world will know his whereabouts, and chase him with all their strength just like encircling and suppressing martial arts saints back then, and want him to die in front of the Zhige stele at all costs.
