different paths
Chapter 54
Facing the swift and fierce attack, Yue Chentan's expression was calm, without a trace of panic.To him, the poisoned silver shuttle was no different from an ordinary stone. With a wave of his sleeve, his whole body floated backward like a paper kite.Several bodhi seeds flew out from the sleeves, mixed with the wind of the palm, and slammed into those seemingly extremely sharp silver shuttles.
Strange to say, no matter how rare the Xingyue Bodhisattva is, it is also made of wood. Compared with the silver shuttle made of gold and stone, it is self-explanatory.But this bodhi seed, which was supposed to be crushed by the silver shuttle, turned the rain-like silver shuttle with extraordinary tenacity.The silver shuttle, which originally covered Yue Chentan from head to toe, was hit by the bodhi seed, as if controlled by an invisible hand, and flew out along an arc-shaped orbit, and could no longer face Yue Chen. Tan poses no threat.
"Boss Fang, offend me."
Yue Chentan's thin lips parted lightly, and with a slight kick on his feet, he rose into the air and attacked Fang Piejia head-on.Fang Pojia saw that the situation was not good, so he took a step back, trying to gather strength to meet the attack.But at some point, a few more stones appeared behind his feet, causing him to stagger, and his figure swayed.
A strong hand propped up behind him, helping him stabilize his figure.
The owner of that hand was Suo Luzheng, who was pursing his lips tightly.
"Master Suolu still has the skill to take care of others at this moment, so I admire you." Jia Wujue said with a smile, "It's just that Mr. Suolu, who can't even control the spear well, how can he help Mr. Fang now?"
"What do you mean by your words?" Suo Luzheng said in a deep voice without changing his expression.
"I have long heard that Lord Solu's fire dragon gun is famous all over the world, but when I passed through the tunnel before, I saw the spear carried on Lord Solu's back hit the stone wall frequently, as if he lost control." Jia Wujue He licked his dry lips, "If you are good at using long spears and are familiar with such weapons, such things will naturally not happen. What do you think, Lord Solu?"
Before Suo Luzheng could speak, someone had stepped forward and said first, "In that case, why don't I try it." It was Luo Ten Commandments who hadn't spoken for a long time who spoke.He didn't say much, and the yin and yang swords were out of their sheaths in a breath, and a coercion spread silently, and those who lacked internal strength had quietly retreated to avoid this awe-inspiring sword intent.
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Jia Wubai didn't see anyone else, and threw a bomb casually, "Since the leaders of Shaolin and Yuqiansi have tried it, we can't let the leader of Wudang be left behind. Daoist Xi Sheng, if you say yes no?"
"What a rude boy! Pindao will let you know today that I am a well-known Wudang family, how can I allow you to frame me at will!" Xi Sheng said angrily, shook his sleeves, turned his palms into fists, and rushed straight at Jia. No bullying comes.
"Master Mei, save me!"
Jia Wujue didn't want to fight him head-on, he put oil on his feet, and hid behind Mei Dulin in no time.Mei Dulin raised her eyebrows, but she didn't reprimand him. Everyone looked at Jia Wuchai, couldn't help admiring him, and appreciated the courage of the other party who was not afraid of death.
With a background in martial arts, it is the hardest to hide when you are in a hurry.Ordinary fights may be covered by moves from other sects, but when it comes to life and death, unique skills will still be used involuntarily.Yue Chentan, Luo Shijie, and Mei Dulin are naturally not ordinary opponents. It is extremely difficult to escape from these three people, let alone win.However, after ten strokes, the opponents of the three revealed their true identities.
Needless to say, the true face of "Xingzheng" is Fang Pojia, but "Suo Luzheng" has long thought that the spear on his back was in the way, so he threw it on the ground, using his arm as a spear and his fingers as a spear, and attacked Luo Shizhang. go.Once pierced and pierced, it is the famous blood-drinking finger in the world.
"This person is - Zhang Qiuzhi!"
Many people recognized the true identity of "Solo Zheng".In this way, the person who killed the imperial guard was clearly aware that it was Zhang Qiuzhi who had the face of "Suo Luzheng".
But where is the real Suo Luzheng?
When were they dropped?
Suo Luzheng is very skilled, and who will subdue him?
Everyone has no time to take care of these kinds of mysteries, because Xi Sheng, who had been reluctant to draw his sword when fighting Mei Dulin, finally pulled out the long sword from the package on his back.
When the sword head hidden in the package was slowly pulled out, everyone couldn't help but gasp - this is not a sword, it is clearly a dragon head crutch.No wonder this "Xi Sheng" never drew his sword. It turned out that what he wanted to hide was the dragon's head buried in the bag.
This dragon head is exactly the same as the one printed on Xuancheng's corpse.
"Mu Qianli—" someone whispered, "How could it be!"
No wonder everyone couldn't believe it, the "God's Eye" Mu Qianli was well-known in the world, and because of his participation in solving many major cases in the court, he also attracted the favor of many court officials.Why such an old man who is well-known in Jianghu and temples pretended to be dead, and why he appeared here under the guise of being a junior in Jianghu, all this is puzzling.
"It's the old man." After being recognized, Mu Qianli was quite unrestrained, and he took off the mask on his face, and a wrinkled face appeared in front of everyone.
The face is like a haggard tree, and the eyes are like a falcon.
It was indeed Mu Qianli.
"Old Mu, why did you appear here?" Many young people who were in awe of Mu Qianli asked in disappointment and doubt.
Mu Qianli just glanced at the crowd, he seemed to be looking at Yue Chentan who was in the midst of a battle with Fang Pojia, and at the same time he seemed to be looking at Jia Wujue who had a clear expression on his face, but in the end he turned his gaze away and didn't say a word .
"You are Mu Qianli." Mei Dulin stood with a sword in his hand and said coldly.
"Yes." Mu Qianli nodded.
"If you have a name and a surname, you won't die unjustly." Mei Dulin's eyes were cold, as if he was looking at a dead person.
Mu Qianli didn't want to say more, he raised the head of the crutch in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he had already attacked Form 49, and every blow was mercilessly hitting the fatal place.
Mei Dulin snorted coldly, holding a sword in one hand and putting the other behind her back.He didn't make a move, and dodged left and right like teasing a child.When the 49 moves were over, he said coldly, "That's all."
He only heard a dragon chant, and the sheathless sword in his hand stabbed out at some point, but with one blow, he had turned his wrist over a hundred times, and when the dragon chant came out again, the sheathless sword had firmly returned to him. on the back.But his opponent had already fallen on his back to the ground, the plum blossom on his forehead and the dragon's head beside him set off each other, forming a strange picture.
With just one blow, with just one blow, Mu Qianli, who is well-known in the world, really became a corpse.
"Clean it up." Mei Dulin blankly glanced at the corpse on the ground, threw a word to the disciples in the school, and walked aside.It seemed that the dead on the ground had nothing to do with him at all.
There are not many things in this world that he can take the trouble to glance at, and Luo's ten commandments of swordsmanship is one of them.
Zhang Qiuzhi stood opposite Luo Shijie. The two had been in this posture for a long time, and they seemed to be trying to find each other's flaws.Zhang Qiu pointed out that he had heard the name of Luo's Ten Commandments earlier, and knew that in a fight with the opponent, if he seized the first opportunity, he would sell his flaws, and he could only get a dead word, so he kept it secret and waited for the opponent to make the first move.
He thought that his strategy was very clever, but he didn't know that when the two faced each other, all 36 dead spots on his body were under Luo's Ten Commandments.
Just when he was secretly complacent, Luo Shijie suddenly moved his mustache slightly and uttered the word "please".
I don't know why the other party "invited", but the sword power as heavy as Mount Tai has already answered for the other party.Zhang Qiu pointed out that he prided himself on his amazing physical strength, and he has fought against countless giant monsters in his life, and he has never had such an experience like today.When he used the pair of arms he was most proud of against the opponent's sword, he was instantly crushed by a surge of despair.
Those strong arms that can lift the sky, under the weight of the sword, are like bamboo sticks that are vulnerable to a single blow, and they are easily crushed with a snap.It was just two long swords, but they lightly and delicately blocked all his ways and withstood all his attacks.The might of the sword was so strong that he was almost forced to be out of breath.
He wanted to support it with all his strength, but his whole body was like noodles, limp and unable to exert any strength.Luo Shijie's wrist just pressed lightly, and he knelt down on the ground with an uncontrollable thud.
Cold sweat flowed down his forehead, and his front and back were completely soaked. The dripping rain did not cool him at all, but instead made him feel cold and trembling.Those strong and powerful arms are now like sifting chaff, hanging by his side, shaking non-stop, there is no trace of their usual strong and powerful appearance.
"Concession." Luo Shijie withdrew his swords, his face was cold and solemn, and he was not half happy about winning, as if everything was within his expectations.
The battle between the three of them had died down, leaving only Yue Chentan and Fang Pojia.Fang Pojia Suosuo pointed at the vital point, but Yue Chentan remained ambiguous, which made the confrontation between the two of them not come to an end.
Fang Pojia has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he knows the truth of using his own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses.Yue Chentan's legs and feet were inconvenient, but he wanted to change his body shape frequently and shoot the flying shuttle in quick dodges.Having absorbed previous experience, his silver shuttles no longer flew all over the place, but only nailed a few important acupoints on Yue Chentan's legs. The angle was tricky and it was very difficult to avoid.
Just when he thought he was about to succeed, his expression suddenly changed——
Yue Chentan, who was originally rooted on the ground, avoided his attack with just a light leap.
Jia Wujue saw all this in his eyes, and he couldn't help sighing for Fang Pojia.He made good calculations, but he didn't expect that although Yue Chentan's legs and feet were inconvenient, his figure was very light.He is not good at tossing and moving, but he is especially good at flying and dodging.Fang Pojia's strategy against the enemy not only failed to hit the opponent's weakness, but it just hit the opponent's arms.
Tree branches, high platforms, and stone slabs are all places for footholds, and rainwater, flying leaves, and bricks and tiles are all things for covering.Yue Chentan's figure was erratic, and his trace was hard to find. For a moment, the sky and the ground seemed to be the shadow of his hunting robe.Just when Fang Pojia was concentrating on searching, a fierce punch hit his face from the top of his head. He was caught off guard, raised his fist to block, and took the blow abruptly.
Just when he was short and was digesting the internal strength of the punch, he heard a few swishing sounds of piercing through the air.Taking a closer look, several bodhi seeds passed through the rain curtain and hit him directly at the two acupoints in the middle of the sandalwood.At this moment, his body is unstable, and all the internal energy in his body has been used to dissipate the strong force in the fist wind, so there is no time to deal with this kind of surprise attack.
unavoidable.
Those bodhi seeds hit every shot without missing a beat.Fang Pojia felt numb all over his body, and in a second, he fell to the ground without strength, unable to move.
He looked up, Yue Chentan touched the branch with his toes, and flew down, looking at him like a deep ancient well, without waves.
Wudang, Shaolin, and Yuqiansi, the disciples of the three sects surrounded the two people who were still panting on the ground in righteous indignation, calling for them to hand over the real leader.It's a pity that Fang Pojia and Zhang Qiuzhi's mouths were tightly shut, as if they were locked, no matter how they threatened and lured them, they did not leak a word.
"Why bother talking nonsense." Mei Dulin watched coldly for a moment, then drew his sword and was about to step forward.
Among the current team, Wudang, Shaolin, and Yuqian Si have no leader. As the head of the Taichong Sword Sect, Mei Dulin has the highest status. If he wants to kill someone, no one dares to stop him, so he can only watch him walk away with his sword Go to those two people.
"Wait a minute." It was another character that no one dared to mess with, Luo Ten Commandments.
Mei Dulin stepped back, turned around, and said coldly, "You have to stop me."
He only said four simple words, but he clearly expressed the meaning of "those who stop me will die".
Luo Ten Commandments did not answer directly, but said solemnly: "Sometimes the answer is given, not necessarily by words."
"Your Excellency's words are really interesting." Xue Zhanyi, who had been watching from the sidelines, sneered, his expression full of sarcasm, "Xue wants to learn how you want them to give an answer."
His sarcastic remarks didn't make Luo Shijie's complexion ugly, the other party just turned around calmly and said to the crowd: "If you have any questions, it's okay to say it."
A bodyguard of the Royal Chief Division squeezed to the front of the line in doubt, and tentatively asked the two of them, "Where is Lord Solu now?"
Fang Pojia and Zhang Qiuzhi looked at each other, then lowered their heads and stopped talking.
"Don't worry, your Excellency, Luo is very sure now, and the life of your team leader is safe." Luo Shijie said lightly.
After listening to Luo Shijie's words, the guard's tense face relaxed slightly, and then he asked a little uncertainly, "How did you know?"
"If the leader of your company is already dead, they will definitely not look at each other to test each other's reaction." Luo Shijie's voice was calm and firm, "So you can be lenient."
As soon as he said this, Fang Pojia and Zhang Qiuzhi buried their heads deeply in their arms, and it seemed that they didn't want to reveal even a trace of expression.
Seeing this scene, Luo Shijie suddenly smiled faintly.
"What are you laughing at?" Xue Zhanyi asked very bluntly.
"Brother Luo is laughing. He was very sure at first, but now he is [-] points." The one who answered was not Luo Ten Commandments, but Yue Chentan who was sitting quietly at the side.
"Brother Luo?" Xue Zhanyi said in surprise, "Little brother, do you know this person?"
It's no wonder that Xue Zhanyi was surprised, but others were also a little confused.Luo Ten Commandments did not meet with Shaolin and his entourage on this journey, nor did they have a word of conversation with Yue Chentan, but Yue Chentan said "Brother Luo" at this time, is it pretending to be familiar, or...
"Brother Yue and I met once a few years ago."
The words of Luo's Ten Commandments can be regarded as an answer for everyone.It's just that everyone still can't figure it out, since they are acquaintances, how can there be no interaction at all along the way?Is the world of masters so elusive?
Everyone glanced at Mei Dulin one after another, then furtively looked away.
"So that's the case. Since the little brother knew each other, he didn't say to introduce me earlier." Xue Zhanyi said coquettishly, "What did the little brother say just now that ten points become twelve points, what do you mean?"
"When Brother Luo made his judgment, he had some speculations, but the reaction of Fang Pojia and the other two completely confirmed Brother Luo's deduction." Yue Chentan said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized that if they hadn't guessed the answer correctly, how could those two people hide their faces tightly, and they didn't want to show any expressions, presumably they didn't want to be seen by Luo Shijie again. .
"If Lord Suolu's life is safe, Junior Brother Xingzheng and Daoist Xi Sheng should be fine too." Yue Chentan looked at the crowd, "The most urgent task is to rescue the three of them from the mountain."
"But Liufan Temple..." Someone hesitated.
This is also what keeps many people vacillating between advancing and retreating.They entered the mountain with great fanfare, in order to go to Liufan Temple to find out the truth about the missing Buddha head. Now that Liufan Temple is in front of them, should they turn around and leave halfway?But he couldn't abandon his senior brother's life, so he was in a dilemma for a while, and it was difficult to make a decision.
"Little brother, why not do this." Xue Zhanyi stood aside and suggested, "We will divide into two groups, go down the mountain to find the three people who have been impostors, and go up the mountain to Liufan Temple, what do you think?"
Yue Chentan glanced at him and nodded, agreeing.
"But Liufan Mountain is so big, where do I start looking?"
Liufan Mountain is stacked with peaks and ridges, and the mountain is weird. It took them a lot of effort just to go up the mountain.Now it is difficult to search aimlessly along the mountain road, as one can imagine.
"I have a suggestion." Jia Wujue squatted aside, raised his chin to the two people on the ground and said, "Master Xingzheng, Daoist Xisheng and Master Suolu are very skilled, we should subdue them and replace them. It's not easy, and besides, they also attacked other people in the team. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they must not have much time to hide those three people. They must have found a hidden place nearby and hid those three people. If everyone If you want to find them, start searching from the place where the corpses were found, and you should be able to find their traces quickly."
"It makes sense..."
"Yes, the caves we passed were deep and winding, which are very suitable for hiding..."
During the conversation, the teams of various factions have already started discussing who will go and who will stay.The most heated discussion was undoubtedly the Iron Shark Gang. Although they were not replaced by others, the morality of Jianghu should send people down the mountain to find the three missing people together.But every brother in the gang wanted to go to Liufan Temple to see the legendary Buddha statue that was coveted by the star pickers, and they were so noisy that they didn't want to go down the mountain. Li Tuntao was made a headache by them, and finally decided to draw lots Decide to stay or stay, everything is determined by God.
After a while, Jia Wujuan slowly retreated from the noisy crowd with a joyful smile on his face.For him, the lottery is not predestined, but depends on whose hands are steady and ruthless.For him, such trivial matters are simply within reach.But, in order to put on a show, he still has to put on an expression of being favored by God.
"Did you win?" Yue Chentan came to him, although he was asking a question, his tone was very firm.
"En." Jia Wuhao nodded emphatically, then looked at him, "Brother Yue?"
"I'll follow them down the mountain." Yue Chentan said lightly.
Jia Wuchai was a little astonished: "Why? Didn't you go up the mountain with us?" As soon as the words came out, he felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately closed his mouth tightly.
Yue Chentan turned his head and looked at him quietly: "You really want me to go up the mountain with you?"
"No." Jia Wujue kept rubbing one foot on the ground, and said a little awkwardly, "I thought Brother Yue would definitely go up the mountain."
"Oh?"
"Liufan Temple has a lot to do with Shaolin. Master Xingzheng can't show up at this moment. Brother Yue, as a disciple of Master Tianxuan, should go to find out on behalf of Shaolin." After Jia Wujue finished speaking, he felt that his explanation was very weak, He lowered his head in frustration.
"Junior Brother Xue came from the same sect as my teacher, so it is reasonable for him to replace me and Junior Brother Xingzheng to go to Liufan Temple."
After hearing Yue Chentan's words, Jia Wuzhen's expression became a little strange: "Are you really determined to let that little brother Xue go there on your behalf?"
"What's wrong?" Yue Chentan gave him a deep look, with an expression that Jia Wuhai couldn't understand.
"Actually, it's nothing." Jia Wujue avoided his gaze, moved his throat slightly, and then said, "It's just that Brother Xue has a perverse personality. If he sees the abbot acting abruptly and you're not here, I'm afraid no one can stop him." he."
"Is that so?" Yue Chentan finally stopped looking at Jia Wuhai, turned his gaze away, and responded noncommittally.
The discussion in the crowd also gradually became quieter, and the teams of each sect and sect had been divided into two groups, standing upright, waiting for someone's order.Jia Wujue looked up and saw Gu Yiming standing in the team going down the mountain, blinking at him.
He couldn't figure out Gu Yiming's plan, but since the other party wanted to go down the mountain, there was naturally his reason.The senior brother went down the mountain, and Yue Chentan also went down the mountain. It seemed that he was the only one left on the trip up the mountain. Thinking of the dangers that might exist in Liufan Temple, he couldn't help but sighed.
"Why are you sighing?" Yue Chentan asked.
Unexpectedly, even the sigh was noticed by the other party, Jia Wujue had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I'm afraid the road up the mountain will be uneven."
"Since the abbot is in charge, I think there will be no difference."
Jia Wuju hooked the corners of his lips, and smiled wryly, he couldn't figure out what Yue Chentan was thinking, was he trying to block himself with what he just said?In fact, he had already guessed that all the monks in Liufan Temple were probably dead, but when he mentioned Xue Zhanyi just now, he was still talking on the premise that the abbot was alive.Did Yue Chentan say the words "the abbot sits in charge" at this moment, inadvertently or on purpose?
Without waiting for him to think about it, Yue Chentan said lightly: "There is no need to worry, just pay attention to the five declines of heaven and man."
After finishing speaking, Yue Chentan walked towards the crowd without waiting for his response.Jia Wukai stayed where he was, recalling the words "Five Decays of Heaven and Man" in his mind, very confused.
When Yue Chentan moved, everyone also moved.A group of brothers from the Iron Shark Gang, headed by Li Tuntao, went down the mountain to help with the search, and were willing to do the hard work. Many people praised Li Tuntao for his chivalry.All the disciples of the Taichong Sword Sect were driven by Mei Dulin to the foot of the mountain to find someone, and he went to Liufan Temple alone.There were not many people accompanying Wudang, and the matter of Liufan Temple was not as important to them as the missing senior brother Xisheng, so they all decided to go down the mountain.The same is true for Shaolin and his party. Under the leadership of Yue Chentan, they all expressed their intention to go down the mountain to search for the whereabouts of Senior Brother Xingzheng. Yue Chentan was not reluctant, and only Xue Zhanyi was willing to go up the mountain.
As a result, there were very few people who went up the mountain, but several members of the Iron Shark Gang including Jia Wujue, Mei Dulin and Xue Zhanyi also had the Ten Commandments of Luo.Jia Wujue looked at these people. Although there were not many people, their combat effectiveness was not weak.Even if something unexpected happens on the way, there are two big Buddhas, Mei Dulin and Luo Shijie, standing on top of them, and the hanging heart finally falls down.
The mountain road leading to Liufan Temple is extremely smooth, as if the experience of everyone coming all the way from the foot of the mountain is an illusion.The mountain road is neither narrow nor rugged, and the rocks are flat, which is very suitable for climbing.The only difference from the ordinary mountain road is probably the towering long burning incense on both sides of the mountain road.The shiny red copper pipes are neatly arranged in a row, straight into the sky, looking very majestic and spectacular from a distance.But thinking of Yue Chentan's previous speculation about the long-burning incense, Jia Wuju's mood of admiration was gone, only cautious and guarded.
The mountain gate of Liufan Temple was quietly opened. There was neither the abbot who came to greet him nor the monks sweeping around.Like Jiang Taigong's most simple and incomparable fishhook, patiently waiting for the prey that comes to his door.
"Be careful." Jia Wuju wrinkled his nose, reminding everyone who entered through the door that he had already smelled some very unpleasant smells first.
Stepping into the mountain gate, on the stone path, beside the fish pond, and in front of the temple gate, there are all monks from Liufan Temple.It is a pity that most of them have been rotted and festered beyond recognition.They can't entertain with flesh and blood, they can only greet them with thick bones.
Seeing the carrion and maggot-covered corpses, Mei Dulin's frozen face finally showed a hint of expression.He frowned in disgust, and threw out two words: "Boring."
What he hates the most in his life is killing methods without aesthetic feeling. Now, these corpses are in miserable condition, but they are being exhibited as trophies. He is too lazy to give anyone any comments except throwing the word "boring" to the murderer. .
Several people walked through the hall full of carrion corpses, and came to the meditation room where the monks rested.There are no flowers, birds and trees around the meditation room, but it is full of long-burning incense, which is really strange.
Xue Zhanyi pinched his nose and stepped over the corpses, and finally couldn't help but rushed to the door and said, "I really can't stand the stench, any of you will come with me and go outside to have a look."
Mei Dulin gave him a cold look, but didn't speak.Luo Shijie stopped searching the corpse and said: "The body of Master Wuyou has not been found yet, why don't you invite everyone from the Iron Shark Gang to go outside with you to check it out."
Xue Zhanyi glanced at Jia Wujue and the others arrogantly, waved his hands impatiently and said, "You guys, follow me."
As he said that, he quickly walked out of the Zen room without looking back, as if he was running away.
Jia Wujue turned his head to look at the two people in the meditation room, Mei Dulin was expressionless, and he had no objection to Luo Shijie's proposal.So he cupped his fists slightly, bid farewell to the two, and left the meditation room with a few brothers from the Iron Shark Gang.
They saw Xue Zhanyi's back from a distance, and quickly chased after him. Unexpectedly, Xue Zhanyi walked faster and faster as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.They had no choice but to speed up their pace and chase after them. They passed through the backyard of Liufan Temple and came to a mountain without knowing it.
On the opposite side of the mountain, there is a cliff. On the cliff, standing majestically is the treasure of the temple in Liufan Temple, the stone statue of Sakyamuni Buddha.Now this ten-person-high stone statue has no head, and its bare neck passes through the clouds, looking weird and treacherous.
"Why are you standing there, hurry up and take a look." Xue Zhanyi flew over the Buddha statue at some point, and when they looked up, he was as big as an ant.
Looking at the Buddha statue, Jia Wukai and his party were a little embarrassed. They didn't have such a good lightness kungfu that they could fly from the top of the mountain to the top of the opposite mountain.Fortunately, there is a wooden suspension bridge hanging between the two mountains. Unfortunately, the ropes used as handrails on both sides have rotted at some point, leaving only a few bare wooden boards, which are loosely connected by ropes and serve as pedals.As the mountain wind blew, the suspension bridge began to shake tremblingly, making it look extremely weak.
"I'll go there first, and you guys will follow me when I get there." Jia Wubai gritted his teeth and decided to lead the way.Although he can't fly directly from one mountain to another, the few planks across the mountain are enough for him to use his lightness kung fu as a pedal. Even if the suspension bridge breaks halfway, his lightness kung fu is enough to save his life, allowing him to fly to the opposite side .
As soon as he said he would leave, he settled down, bent his waist and knees, and carefully walked up the wobbly suspension bridge.He took very small steps, and walked slowly on the suspension bridge almost without leaving the ground. Even so, he still became unstable a few times in the middle, shaking left and right.This small step is wrong, but what greets him is an abyss.
Fortunately, they were all safe and sound.
When he successfully stepped onto the top of the cliff, his feet softened and he sat down on the ground. On the other side of the suspension bridge, applause resounded in response to the occasion.
"Come up." Xue Zhanyi stood on the bare neck of the Buddha statue, poking his head out to greet him.
"Oh." Jia Wuhai replied in a muffled voice.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he naturally couldn't use any secret skills of lightness kungfu such as Ti Yunzong and Yanzi Sanshui, so he could only honestly raise his head and shout: "Brother Xue, I am not good at lightness kungfu. not up."
Xue Zhanyi's fingernail-sized head poked out again: "Do you want me to carry you up?"
"Don't dare." Jia Wujue shook his head quickly.
"You dare to try it yourself." Xue Zhanyi snorted coldly, and a moment later, a hemp rope hung down from the top of Jia Wubai's head. The other end of the hemp rope came out of the stone Buddha's neck. The length was neither long nor short, just right. .
"Grab the rope and climb up." Xue Zhanyi's impatient voice sounded again.
"Brother Xue, where did this rope come from?" Jia Wukai asked casually.
"I don't know." Xue Zhanyi said in a bad tone, "Maybe it was left behind by repair craftsmen."
Jia Wujue honestly said "En", and grabbed the rope and climbed up step by step.The hemp rope was very rough, with many burrs, and when he used his hands hard, it left deep bloodstains on his palms.Just as he was about to climb to the top, panting, he heard two screams behind him.
He looked back and saw the Iron Shark Gang and the two accompanying him stepped onto the suspension bridge at some point.But the suspension bridge seemed to be unbearable to bear the weight of the two of them. The suspension rope, which was originally loosely knotted, suddenly broke, and the two were caught off guard.
"Help——" The wailing of the two floated with the wind, and the sound of the wind was very shrill.
Jia Wujue had more than enough heart but not enough strength. At this moment, he only hoped that all the inferences in his mind before were mistakes. He looked up at Xue Zhanyi, hoping that the other party could give him a helping hand.
It's a pity that the interest on Xue Zhanyi's face fell into his eyes impartially.In an instant, he closed his eyes, and the two wailings gradually faded away from his ears. The broken suspension bridge was hanging on the edge of the cliff, empty and there was no one.
"What's wrong?" Xue Zhanyi's voice sounded above his head, which seemed to be a bit playful.
"fine."
He speeded up the pace, using both hands and feet at the same time, and quickly climbed the last length of the rope.When he climbed to the top of the Buddha statue, his two palms were already bleeding profusely.
The huge Buddha statue, without the Buddha's head, is a wide round platform at the neck, even if there are ten people standing on it, it is still spacious.Xue Zhanyi stood on the body of the Buddha, with his hands behind his back, looking at the open mountain scenery, as if lost in thought.
Noticing the movement behind him, he turned around, glanced at Jia Wuba's bleeding hands, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said inexplicably, "You really worked hard."
He has exquisite eyebrows and eyes, even if he never looks good to Jia Wujue, Jia Wujue still finds it pleasing to the eye.But at this moment, he was talking with Jia Wujue in a pleasant manner, but Jia Wujue was a little afraid to look at his face.
I just feel that the hostility in it is too much, it is difficult to look directly at it.
"Come here." He beckoned to Jia Wuhai, motioning for him to walk over.
Jia Wukai wiped his robe with both hands, wiped off the blood, and moved a few steps closer to his position.
"Standing so far away, are you really afraid that I will eat you?" Xue Zhanyi looked at him with a half-smile.
"I'm very dirty, I'm afraid I'll disturb Brother Xue's interest if I stand close." Jia Wujue said very sincerely.
"I didn't expect people from the Iron Shark Gang to be so glib." Xue Zhanyi didn't force him, turned his head and said, "Listen."
Jia Wujue hadn't noticed it when he climbed the mountain just now, but at this moment he noticed that the originally quiet wind was getting stronger and stronger. Ben Lei shuttles between the clouds.
"Fehn!" Jia Wuchai blurted out gusts of steaming heat brushing against his cheeks.
Xue Zhanyi glanced at him, and said with a little appreciation: "This wind is exactly Foehn." After finishing speaking, he looked expectantly at Jia Wujue, "Do you know what is so special about this Foehn? ?”
Jia Wujue's expression sank and he said: "I don't know about the other side, I only know that if the Foehn wind passes through the long burning incense, it will be like playing a magic sound, and the sound will fall into people's ears, and at least it will cause dizziness and bloodshed. If it surges up, the meridians will be cut off and you will die in severe cases.”
"I know a lot." Xue Zhanyi nodded and said, "However, the power of this Foehn is more than that." He said, his eyes fell on the Liufan Temple not far away, "You should be lucky, follow me come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden gust of wind.The muffled sound, which was originally invisible, passed through the mountains and forests like the roar of a tiger, roaring and roaring, one after another, roaring and rolling between the sky and the earth, deafening.The huge sound was earth-shattering, and the entire Liufan Temple was shaken.Finally, the mud bricks and mud tiles of Liufan Temple were overwhelmed, and they fell apart and collapsed amidst the roar of heaven and earth.
"Brother Mei, Brother Luo—" Jia Wuju couldn't help shouting when he thought of the few people who were still in Liufan Temple.The bricks and tiles, in this continuous reverberation, fell one after another, and the dust flew up. The originally magnificent ancient temple of the former dynasty turned into a pile of loess and sand in an instant.
This is true for wood and stone, let alone flesh and blood?
No matter how good the martial arts are, how good the body skills are, how can they avoid this sudden collapse of bricks and tiles?
Jia Wujuan's worry was beyond words.
"At this point, do you still have time to worry about others?" Xue Zhanyi turned around and stared at him for a moment, with a slight smile on his face, showing that he was in a good mood.
"Don't worry about others, are you worried about you?" Jia Wujue looked cold and his voice was cold.
Xue Zhanyi seemed to have discovered something interesting, his eyes lit up: "Are you finally willing to show your true colors?"
"Haven't your Excellency heard a saying that it is indecent to come and not go?"
Jia Wukai's figure flickered, but in the blink of an eye, a mask as thin as cicada's wings was already on his hand.
The person whose mask was taken off touched his face in disbelief, his face turned blue and red, and after a while he looked at Jia Wuchai, gritted his teeth and said, "You're so fast, I underestimated you."
Strange to say, no matter how rare the Xingyue Bodhisattva is, it is also made of wood. Compared with the silver shuttle made of gold and stone, it is self-explanatory.But this bodhi seed, which was supposed to be crushed by the silver shuttle, turned the rain-like silver shuttle with extraordinary tenacity.The silver shuttle, which originally covered Yue Chentan from head to toe, was hit by the bodhi seed, as if controlled by an invisible hand, and flew out along an arc-shaped orbit, and could no longer face Yue Chen. Tan poses no threat.
"Boss Fang, offend me."
Yue Chentan's thin lips parted lightly, and with a slight kick on his feet, he rose into the air and attacked Fang Piejia head-on.Fang Pojia saw that the situation was not good, so he took a step back, trying to gather strength to meet the attack.But at some point, a few more stones appeared behind his feet, causing him to stagger, and his figure swayed.
A strong hand propped up behind him, helping him stabilize his figure.
The owner of that hand was Suo Luzheng, who was pursing his lips tightly.
"Master Suolu still has the skill to take care of others at this moment, so I admire you." Jia Wujue said with a smile, "It's just that Mr. Suolu, who can't even control the spear well, how can he help Mr. Fang now?"
"What do you mean by your words?" Suo Luzheng said in a deep voice without changing his expression.
"I have long heard that Lord Solu's fire dragon gun is famous all over the world, but when I passed through the tunnel before, I saw the spear carried on Lord Solu's back hit the stone wall frequently, as if he lost control." Jia Wujue He licked his dry lips, "If you are good at using long spears and are familiar with such weapons, such things will naturally not happen. What do you think, Lord Solu?"
Before Suo Luzheng could speak, someone had stepped forward and said first, "In that case, why don't I try it." It was Luo Ten Commandments who hadn't spoken for a long time who spoke.He didn't say much, and the yin and yang swords were out of their sheaths in a breath, and a coercion spread silently, and those who lacked internal strength had quietly retreated to avoid this awe-inspiring sword intent.
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Jia Wubai didn't see anyone else, and threw a bomb casually, "Since the leaders of Shaolin and Yuqiansi have tried it, we can't let the leader of Wudang be left behind. Daoist Xi Sheng, if you say yes no?"
"What a rude boy! Pindao will let you know today that I am a well-known Wudang family, how can I allow you to frame me at will!" Xi Sheng said angrily, shook his sleeves, turned his palms into fists, and rushed straight at Jia. No bullying comes.
"Master Mei, save me!"
Jia Wujue didn't want to fight him head-on, he put oil on his feet, and hid behind Mei Dulin in no time.Mei Dulin raised her eyebrows, but she didn't reprimand him. Everyone looked at Jia Wuchai, couldn't help admiring him, and appreciated the courage of the other party who was not afraid of death.
With a background in martial arts, it is the hardest to hide when you are in a hurry.Ordinary fights may be covered by moves from other sects, but when it comes to life and death, unique skills will still be used involuntarily.Yue Chentan, Luo Shijie, and Mei Dulin are naturally not ordinary opponents. It is extremely difficult to escape from these three people, let alone win.However, after ten strokes, the opponents of the three revealed their true identities.
Needless to say, the true face of "Xingzheng" is Fang Pojia, but "Suo Luzheng" has long thought that the spear on his back was in the way, so he threw it on the ground, using his arm as a spear and his fingers as a spear, and attacked Luo Shizhang. go.Once pierced and pierced, it is the famous blood-drinking finger in the world.
"This person is - Zhang Qiuzhi!"
Many people recognized the true identity of "Solo Zheng".In this way, the person who killed the imperial guard was clearly aware that it was Zhang Qiuzhi who had the face of "Suo Luzheng".
But where is the real Suo Luzheng?
When were they dropped?
Suo Luzheng is very skilled, and who will subdue him?
Everyone has no time to take care of these kinds of mysteries, because Xi Sheng, who had been reluctant to draw his sword when fighting Mei Dulin, finally pulled out the long sword from the package on his back.
When the sword head hidden in the package was slowly pulled out, everyone couldn't help but gasp - this is not a sword, it is clearly a dragon head crutch.No wonder this "Xi Sheng" never drew his sword. It turned out that what he wanted to hide was the dragon's head buried in the bag.
This dragon head is exactly the same as the one printed on Xuancheng's corpse.
"Mu Qianli—" someone whispered, "How could it be!"
No wonder everyone couldn't believe it, the "God's Eye" Mu Qianli was well-known in the world, and because of his participation in solving many major cases in the court, he also attracted the favor of many court officials.Why such an old man who is well-known in Jianghu and temples pretended to be dead, and why he appeared here under the guise of being a junior in Jianghu, all this is puzzling.
"It's the old man." After being recognized, Mu Qianli was quite unrestrained, and he took off the mask on his face, and a wrinkled face appeared in front of everyone.
The face is like a haggard tree, and the eyes are like a falcon.
It was indeed Mu Qianli.
"Old Mu, why did you appear here?" Many young people who were in awe of Mu Qianli asked in disappointment and doubt.
Mu Qianli just glanced at the crowd, he seemed to be looking at Yue Chentan who was in the midst of a battle with Fang Pojia, and at the same time he seemed to be looking at Jia Wujue who had a clear expression on his face, but in the end he turned his gaze away and didn't say a word .
"You are Mu Qianli." Mei Dulin stood with a sword in his hand and said coldly.
"Yes." Mu Qianli nodded.
"If you have a name and a surname, you won't die unjustly." Mei Dulin's eyes were cold, as if he was looking at a dead person.
Mu Qianli didn't want to say more, he raised the head of the crutch in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he had already attacked Form 49, and every blow was mercilessly hitting the fatal place.
Mei Dulin snorted coldly, holding a sword in one hand and putting the other behind her back.He didn't make a move, and dodged left and right like teasing a child.When the 49 moves were over, he said coldly, "That's all."
He only heard a dragon chant, and the sheathless sword in his hand stabbed out at some point, but with one blow, he had turned his wrist over a hundred times, and when the dragon chant came out again, the sheathless sword had firmly returned to him. on the back.But his opponent had already fallen on his back to the ground, the plum blossom on his forehead and the dragon's head beside him set off each other, forming a strange picture.
With just one blow, with just one blow, Mu Qianli, who is well-known in the world, really became a corpse.
"Clean it up." Mei Dulin blankly glanced at the corpse on the ground, threw a word to the disciples in the school, and walked aside.It seemed that the dead on the ground had nothing to do with him at all.
There are not many things in this world that he can take the trouble to glance at, and Luo's ten commandments of swordsmanship is one of them.
Zhang Qiuzhi stood opposite Luo Shijie. The two had been in this posture for a long time, and they seemed to be trying to find each other's flaws.Zhang Qiu pointed out that he had heard the name of Luo's Ten Commandments earlier, and knew that in a fight with the opponent, if he seized the first opportunity, he would sell his flaws, and he could only get a dead word, so he kept it secret and waited for the opponent to make the first move.
He thought that his strategy was very clever, but he didn't know that when the two faced each other, all 36 dead spots on his body were under Luo's Ten Commandments.
Just when he was secretly complacent, Luo Shijie suddenly moved his mustache slightly and uttered the word "please".
I don't know why the other party "invited", but the sword power as heavy as Mount Tai has already answered for the other party.Zhang Qiu pointed out that he prided himself on his amazing physical strength, and he has fought against countless giant monsters in his life, and he has never had such an experience like today.When he used the pair of arms he was most proud of against the opponent's sword, he was instantly crushed by a surge of despair.
Those strong arms that can lift the sky, under the weight of the sword, are like bamboo sticks that are vulnerable to a single blow, and they are easily crushed with a snap.It was just two long swords, but they lightly and delicately blocked all his ways and withstood all his attacks.The might of the sword was so strong that he was almost forced to be out of breath.
He wanted to support it with all his strength, but his whole body was like noodles, limp and unable to exert any strength.Luo Shijie's wrist just pressed lightly, and he knelt down on the ground with an uncontrollable thud.
Cold sweat flowed down his forehead, and his front and back were completely soaked. The dripping rain did not cool him at all, but instead made him feel cold and trembling.Those strong and powerful arms are now like sifting chaff, hanging by his side, shaking non-stop, there is no trace of their usual strong and powerful appearance.
"Concession." Luo Shijie withdrew his swords, his face was cold and solemn, and he was not half happy about winning, as if everything was within his expectations.
The battle between the three of them had died down, leaving only Yue Chentan and Fang Pojia.Fang Pojia Suosuo pointed at the vital point, but Yue Chentan remained ambiguous, which made the confrontation between the two of them not come to an end.
Fang Pojia has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he knows the truth of using his own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses.Yue Chentan's legs and feet were inconvenient, but he wanted to change his body shape frequently and shoot the flying shuttle in quick dodges.Having absorbed previous experience, his silver shuttles no longer flew all over the place, but only nailed a few important acupoints on Yue Chentan's legs. The angle was tricky and it was very difficult to avoid.
Just when he thought he was about to succeed, his expression suddenly changed——
Yue Chentan, who was originally rooted on the ground, avoided his attack with just a light leap.
Jia Wujue saw all this in his eyes, and he couldn't help sighing for Fang Pojia.He made good calculations, but he didn't expect that although Yue Chentan's legs and feet were inconvenient, his figure was very light.He is not good at tossing and moving, but he is especially good at flying and dodging.Fang Pojia's strategy against the enemy not only failed to hit the opponent's weakness, but it just hit the opponent's arms.
Tree branches, high platforms, and stone slabs are all places for footholds, and rainwater, flying leaves, and bricks and tiles are all things for covering.Yue Chentan's figure was erratic, and his trace was hard to find. For a moment, the sky and the ground seemed to be the shadow of his hunting robe.Just when Fang Pojia was concentrating on searching, a fierce punch hit his face from the top of his head. He was caught off guard, raised his fist to block, and took the blow abruptly.
Just when he was short and was digesting the internal strength of the punch, he heard a few swishing sounds of piercing through the air.Taking a closer look, several bodhi seeds passed through the rain curtain and hit him directly at the two acupoints in the middle of the sandalwood.At this moment, his body is unstable, and all the internal energy in his body has been used to dissipate the strong force in the fist wind, so there is no time to deal with this kind of surprise attack.
unavoidable.
Those bodhi seeds hit every shot without missing a beat.Fang Pojia felt numb all over his body, and in a second, he fell to the ground without strength, unable to move.
He looked up, Yue Chentan touched the branch with his toes, and flew down, looking at him like a deep ancient well, without waves.
Wudang, Shaolin, and Yuqiansi, the disciples of the three sects surrounded the two people who were still panting on the ground in righteous indignation, calling for them to hand over the real leader.It's a pity that Fang Pojia and Zhang Qiuzhi's mouths were tightly shut, as if they were locked, no matter how they threatened and lured them, they did not leak a word.
"Why bother talking nonsense." Mei Dulin watched coldly for a moment, then drew his sword and was about to step forward.
Among the current team, Wudang, Shaolin, and Yuqian Si have no leader. As the head of the Taichong Sword Sect, Mei Dulin has the highest status. If he wants to kill someone, no one dares to stop him, so he can only watch him walk away with his sword Go to those two people.
"Wait a minute." It was another character that no one dared to mess with, Luo Ten Commandments.
Mei Dulin stepped back, turned around, and said coldly, "You have to stop me."
He only said four simple words, but he clearly expressed the meaning of "those who stop me will die".
Luo Ten Commandments did not answer directly, but said solemnly: "Sometimes the answer is given, not necessarily by words."
"Your Excellency's words are really interesting." Xue Zhanyi, who had been watching from the sidelines, sneered, his expression full of sarcasm, "Xue wants to learn how you want them to give an answer."
His sarcastic remarks didn't make Luo Shijie's complexion ugly, the other party just turned around calmly and said to the crowd: "If you have any questions, it's okay to say it."
A bodyguard of the Royal Chief Division squeezed to the front of the line in doubt, and tentatively asked the two of them, "Where is Lord Solu now?"
Fang Pojia and Zhang Qiuzhi looked at each other, then lowered their heads and stopped talking.
"Don't worry, your Excellency, Luo is very sure now, and the life of your team leader is safe." Luo Shijie said lightly.
After listening to Luo Shijie's words, the guard's tense face relaxed slightly, and then he asked a little uncertainly, "How did you know?"
"If the leader of your company is already dead, they will definitely not look at each other to test each other's reaction." Luo Shijie's voice was calm and firm, "So you can be lenient."
As soon as he said this, Fang Pojia and Zhang Qiuzhi buried their heads deeply in their arms, and it seemed that they didn't want to reveal even a trace of expression.
Seeing this scene, Luo Shijie suddenly smiled faintly.
"What are you laughing at?" Xue Zhanyi asked very bluntly.
"Brother Luo is laughing. He was very sure at first, but now he is [-] points." The one who answered was not Luo Ten Commandments, but Yue Chentan who was sitting quietly at the side.
"Brother Luo?" Xue Zhanyi said in surprise, "Little brother, do you know this person?"
It's no wonder that Xue Zhanyi was surprised, but others were also a little confused.Luo Ten Commandments did not meet with Shaolin and his entourage on this journey, nor did they have a word of conversation with Yue Chentan, but Yue Chentan said "Brother Luo" at this time, is it pretending to be familiar, or...
"Brother Yue and I met once a few years ago."
The words of Luo's Ten Commandments can be regarded as an answer for everyone.It's just that everyone still can't figure it out, since they are acquaintances, how can there be no interaction at all along the way?Is the world of masters so elusive?
Everyone glanced at Mei Dulin one after another, then furtively looked away.
"So that's the case. Since the little brother knew each other, he didn't say to introduce me earlier." Xue Zhanyi said coquettishly, "What did the little brother say just now that ten points become twelve points, what do you mean?"
"When Brother Luo made his judgment, he had some speculations, but the reaction of Fang Pojia and the other two completely confirmed Brother Luo's deduction." Yue Chentan said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized that if they hadn't guessed the answer correctly, how could those two people hide their faces tightly, and they didn't want to show any expressions, presumably they didn't want to be seen by Luo Shijie again. .
"If Lord Suolu's life is safe, Junior Brother Xingzheng and Daoist Xi Sheng should be fine too." Yue Chentan looked at the crowd, "The most urgent task is to rescue the three of them from the mountain."
"But Liufan Temple..." Someone hesitated.
This is also what keeps many people vacillating between advancing and retreating.They entered the mountain with great fanfare, in order to go to Liufan Temple to find out the truth about the missing Buddha head. Now that Liufan Temple is in front of them, should they turn around and leave halfway?But he couldn't abandon his senior brother's life, so he was in a dilemma for a while, and it was difficult to make a decision.
"Little brother, why not do this." Xue Zhanyi stood aside and suggested, "We will divide into two groups, go down the mountain to find the three people who have been impostors, and go up the mountain to Liufan Temple, what do you think?"
Yue Chentan glanced at him and nodded, agreeing.
"But Liufan Mountain is so big, where do I start looking?"
Liufan Mountain is stacked with peaks and ridges, and the mountain is weird. It took them a lot of effort just to go up the mountain.Now it is difficult to search aimlessly along the mountain road, as one can imagine.
"I have a suggestion." Jia Wujue squatted aside, raised his chin to the two people on the ground and said, "Master Xingzheng, Daoist Xisheng and Master Suolu are very skilled, we should subdue them and replace them. It's not easy, and besides, they also attacked other people in the team. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they must not have much time to hide those three people. They must have found a hidden place nearby and hid those three people. If everyone If you want to find them, start searching from the place where the corpses were found, and you should be able to find their traces quickly."
"It makes sense..."
"Yes, the caves we passed were deep and winding, which are very suitable for hiding..."
During the conversation, the teams of various factions have already started discussing who will go and who will stay.The most heated discussion was undoubtedly the Iron Shark Gang. Although they were not replaced by others, the morality of Jianghu should send people down the mountain to find the three missing people together.But every brother in the gang wanted to go to Liufan Temple to see the legendary Buddha statue that was coveted by the star pickers, and they were so noisy that they didn't want to go down the mountain. Li Tuntao was made a headache by them, and finally decided to draw lots Decide to stay or stay, everything is determined by God.
After a while, Jia Wujuan slowly retreated from the noisy crowd with a joyful smile on his face.For him, the lottery is not predestined, but depends on whose hands are steady and ruthless.For him, such trivial matters are simply within reach.But, in order to put on a show, he still has to put on an expression of being favored by God.
"Did you win?" Yue Chentan came to him, although he was asking a question, his tone was very firm.
"En." Jia Wuhao nodded emphatically, then looked at him, "Brother Yue?"
"I'll follow them down the mountain." Yue Chentan said lightly.
Jia Wuchai was a little astonished: "Why? Didn't you go up the mountain with us?" As soon as the words came out, he felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately closed his mouth tightly.
Yue Chentan turned his head and looked at him quietly: "You really want me to go up the mountain with you?"
"No." Jia Wujue kept rubbing one foot on the ground, and said a little awkwardly, "I thought Brother Yue would definitely go up the mountain."
"Oh?"
"Liufan Temple has a lot to do with Shaolin. Master Xingzheng can't show up at this moment. Brother Yue, as a disciple of Master Tianxuan, should go to find out on behalf of Shaolin." After Jia Wujue finished speaking, he felt that his explanation was very weak, He lowered his head in frustration.
"Junior Brother Xue came from the same sect as my teacher, so it is reasonable for him to replace me and Junior Brother Xingzheng to go to Liufan Temple."
After hearing Yue Chentan's words, Jia Wuzhen's expression became a little strange: "Are you really determined to let that little brother Xue go there on your behalf?"
"What's wrong?" Yue Chentan gave him a deep look, with an expression that Jia Wuhai couldn't understand.
"Actually, it's nothing." Jia Wujue avoided his gaze, moved his throat slightly, and then said, "It's just that Brother Xue has a perverse personality. If he sees the abbot acting abruptly and you're not here, I'm afraid no one can stop him." he."
"Is that so?" Yue Chentan finally stopped looking at Jia Wuhai, turned his gaze away, and responded noncommittally.
The discussion in the crowd also gradually became quieter, and the teams of each sect and sect had been divided into two groups, standing upright, waiting for someone's order.Jia Wujue looked up and saw Gu Yiming standing in the team going down the mountain, blinking at him.
He couldn't figure out Gu Yiming's plan, but since the other party wanted to go down the mountain, there was naturally his reason.The senior brother went down the mountain, and Yue Chentan also went down the mountain. It seemed that he was the only one left on the trip up the mountain. Thinking of the dangers that might exist in Liufan Temple, he couldn't help but sighed.
"Why are you sighing?" Yue Chentan asked.
Unexpectedly, even the sigh was noticed by the other party, Jia Wujue had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I'm afraid the road up the mountain will be uneven."
"Since the abbot is in charge, I think there will be no difference."
Jia Wuju hooked the corners of his lips, and smiled wryly, he couldn't figure out what Yue Chentan was thinking, was he trying to block himself with what he just said?In fact, he had already guessed that all the monks in Liufan Temple were probably dead, but when he mentioned Xue Zhanyi just now, he was still talking on the premise that the abbot was alive.Did Yue Chentan say the words "the abbot sits in charge" at this moment, inadvertently or on purpose?
Without waiting for him to think about it, Yue Chentan said lightly: "There is no need to worry, just pay attention to the five declines of heaven and man."
After finishing speaking, Yue Chentan walked towards the crowd without waiting for his response.Jia Wukai stayed where he was, recalling the words "Five Decays of Heaven and Man" in his mind, very confused.
When Yue Chentan moved, everyone also moved.A group of brothers from the Iron Shark Gang, headed by Li Tuntao, went down the mountain to help with the search, and were willing to do the hard work. Many people praised Li Tuntao for his chivalry.All the disciples of the Taichong Sword Sect were driven by Mei Dulin to the foot of the mountain to find someone, and he went to Liufan Temple alone.There were not many people accompanying Wudang, and the matter of Liufan Temple was not as important to them as the missing senior brother Xisheng, so they all decided to go down the mountain.The same is true for Shaolin and his party. Under the leadership of Yue Chentan, they all expressed their intention to go down the mountain to search for the whereabouts of Senior Brother Xingzheng. Yue Chentan was not reluctant, and only Xue Zhanyi was willing to go up the mountain.
As a result, there were very few people who went up the mountain, but several members of the Iron Shark Gang including Jia Wujue, Mei Dulin and Xue Zhanyi also had the Ten Commandments of Luo.Jia Wujue looked at these people. Although there were not many people, their combat effectiveness was not weak.Even if something unexpected happens on the way, there are two big Buddhas, Mei Dulin and Luo Shijie, standing on top of them, and the hanging heart finally falls down.
The mountain road leading to Liufan Temple is extremely smooth, as if the experience of everyone coming all the way from the foot of the mountain is an illusion.The mountain road is neither narrow nor rugged, and the rocks are flat, which is very suitable for climbing.The only difference from the ordinary mountain road is probably the towering long burning incense on both sides of the mountain road.The shiny red copper pipes are neatly arranged in a row, straight into the sky, looking very majestic and spectacular from a distance.But thinking of Yue Chentan's previous speculation about the long-burning incense, Jia Wuju's mood of admiration was gone, only cautious and guarded.
The mountain gate of Liufan Temple was quietly opened. There was neither the abbot who came to greet him nor the monks sweeping around.Like Jiang Taigong's most simple and incomparable fishhook, patiently waiting for the prey that comes to his door.
"Be careful." Jia Wuju wrinkled his nose, reminding everyone who entered through the door that he had already smelled some very unpleasant smells first.
Stepping into the mountain gate, on the stone path, beside the fish pond, and in front of the temple gate, there are all monks from Liufan Temple.It is a pity that most of them have been rotted and festered beyond recognition.They can't entertain with flesh and blood, they can only greet them with thick bones.
Seeing the carrion and maggot-covered corpses, Mei Dulin's frozen face finally showed a hint of expression.He frowned in disgust, and threw out two words: "Boring."
What he hates the most in his life is killing methods without aesthetic feeling. Now, these corpses are in miserable condition, but they are being exhibited as trophies. He is too lazy to give anyone any comments except throwing the word "boring" to the murderer. .
Several people walked through the hall full of carrion corpses, and came to the meditation room where the monks rested.There are no flowers, birds and trees around the meditation room, but it is full of long-burning incense, which is really strange.
Xue Zhanyi pinched his nose and stepped over the corpses, and finally couldn't help but rushed to the door and said, "I really can't stand the stench, any of you will come with me and go outside to have a look."
Mei Dulin gave him a cold look, but didn't speak.Luo Shijie stopped searching the corpse and said: "The body of Master Wuyou has not been found yet, why don't you invite everyone from the Iron Shark Gang to go outside with you to check it out."
Xue Zhanyi glanced at Jia Wujue and the others arrogantly, waved his hands impatiently and said, "You guys, follow me."
As he said that, he quickly walked out of the Zen room without looking back, as if he was running away.
Jia Wujue turned his head to look at the two people in the meditation room, Mei Dulin was expressionless, and he had no objection to Luo Shijie's proposal.So he cupped his fists slightly, bid farewell to the two, and left the meditation room with a few brothers from the Iron Shark Gang.
They saw Xue Zhanyi's back from a distance, and quickly chased after him. Unexpectedly, Xue Zhanyi walked faster and faster as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.They had no choice but to speed up their pace and chase after them. They passed through the backyard of Liufan Temple and came to a mountain without knowing it.
On the opposite side of the mountain, there is a cliff. On the cliff, standing majestically is the treasure of the temple in Liufan Temple, the stone statue of Sakyamuni Buddha.Now this ten-person-high stone statue has no head, and its bare neck passes through the clouds, looking weird and treacherous.
"Why are you standing there, hurry up and take a look." Xue Zhanyi flew over the Buddha statue at some point, and when they looked up, he was as big as an ant.
Looking at the Buddha statue, Jia Wukai and his party were a little embarrassed. They didn't have such a good lightness kungfu that they could fly from the top of the mountain to the top of the opposite mountain.Fortunately, there is a wooden suspension bridge hanging between the two mountains. Unfortunately, the ropes used as handrails on both sides have rotted at some point, leaving only a few bare wooden boards, which are loosely connected by ropes and serve as pedals.As the mountain wind blew, the suspension bridge began to shake tremblingly, making it look extremely weak.
"I'll go there first, and you guys will follow me when I get there." Jia Wubai gritted his teeth and decided to lead the way.Although he can't fly directly from one mountain to another, the few planks across the mountain are enough for him to use his lightness kung fu as a pedal. Even if the suspension bridge breaks halfway, his lightness kung fu is enough to save his life, allowing him to fly to the opposite side .
As soon as he said he would leave, he settled down, bent his waist and knees, and carefully walked up the wobbly suspension bridge.He took very small steps, and walked slowly on the suspension bridge almost without leaving the ground. Even so, he still became unstable a few times in the middle, shaking left and right.This small step is wrong, but what greets him is an abyss.
Fortunately, they were all safe and sound.
When he successfully stepped onto the top of the cliff, his feet softened and he sat down on the ground. On the other side of the suspension bridge, applause resounded in response to the occasion.
"Come up." Xue Zhanyi stood on the bare neck of the Buddha statue, poking his head out to greet him.
"Oh." Jia Wuhai replied in a muffled voice.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he naturally couldn't use any secret skills of lightness kungfu such as Ti Yunzong and Yanzi Sanshui, so he could only honestly raise his head and shout: "Brother Xue, I am not good at lightness kungfu. not up."
Xue Zhanyi's fingernail-sized head poked out again: "Do you want me to carry you up?"
"Don't dare." Jia Wujue shook his head quickly.
"You dare to try it yourself." Xue Zhanyi snorted coldly, and a moment later, a hemp rope hung down from the top of Jia Wubai's head. The other end of the hemp rope came out of the stone Buddha's neck. The length was neither long nor short, just right. .
"Grab the rope and climb up." Xue Zhanyi's impatient voice sounded again.
"Brother Xue, where did this rope come from?" Jia Wukai asked casually.
"I don't know." Xue Zhanyi said in a bad tone, "Maybe it was left behind by repair craftsmen."
Jia Wujue honestly said "En", and grabbed the rope and climbed up step by step.The hemp rope was very rough, with many burrs, and when he used his hands hard, it left deep bloodstains on his palms.Just as he was about to climb to the top, panting, he heard two screams behind him.
He looked back and saw the Iron Shark Gang and the two accompanying him stepped onto the suspension bridge at some point.But the suspension bridge seemed to be unbearable to bear the weight of the two of them. The suspension rope, which was originally loosely knotted, suddenly broke, and the two were caught off guard.
"Help——" The wailing of the two floated with the wind, and the sound of the wind was very shrill.
Jia Wujue had more than enough heart but not enough strength. At this moment, he only hoped that all the inferences in his mind before were mistakes. He looked up at Xue Zhanyi, hoping that the other party could give him a helping hand.
It's a pity that the interest on Xue Zhanyi's face fell into his eyes impartially.In an instant, he closed his eyes, and the two wailings gradually faded away from his ears. The broken suspension bridge was hanging on the edge of the cliff, empty and there was no one.
"What's wrong?" Xue Zhanyi's voice sounded above his head, which seemed to be a bit playful.
"fine."
He speeded up the pace, using both hands and feet at the same time, and quickly climbed the last length of the rope.When he climbed to the top of the Buddha statue, his two palms were already bleeding profusely.
The huge Buddha statue, without the Buddha's head, is a wide round platform at the neck, even if there are ten people standing on it, it is still spacious.Xue Zhanyi stood on the body of the Buddha, with his hands behind his back, looking at the open mountain scenery, as if lost in thought.
Noticing the movement behind him, he turned around, glanced at Jia Wuba's bleeding hands, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said inexplicably, "You really worked hard."
He has exquisite eyebrows and eyes, even if he never looks good to Jia Wujue, Jia Wujue still finds it pleasing to the eye.But at this moment, he was talking with Jia Wujue in a pleasant manner, but Jia Wujue was a little afraid to look at his face.
I just feel that the hostility in it is too much, it is difficult to look directly at it.
"Come here." He beckoned to Jia Wuhai, motioning for him to walk over.
Jia Wukai wiped his robe with both hands, wiped off the blood, and moved a few steps closer to his position.
"Standing so far away, are you really afraid that I will eat you?" Xue Zhanyi looked at him with a half-smile.
"I'm very dirty, I'm afraid I'll disturb Brother Xue's interest if I stand close." Jia Wujue said very sincerely.
"I didn't expect people from the Iron Shark Gang to be so glib." Xue Zhanyi didn't force him, turned his head and said, "Listen."
Jia Wujue hadn't noticed it when he climbed the mountain just now, but at this moment he noticed that the originally quiet wind was getting stronger and stronger. Ben Lei shuttles between the clouds.
"Fehn!" Jia Wuchai blurted out gusts of steaming heat brushing against his cheeks.
Xue Zhanyi glanced at him, and said with a little appreciation: "This wind is exactly Foehn." After finishing speaking, he looked expectantly at Jia Wujue, "Do you know what is so special about this Foehn? ?”
Jia Wujue's expression sank and he said: "I don't know about the other side, I only know that if the Foehn wind passes through the long burning incense, it will be like playing a magic sound, and the sound will fall into people's ears, and at least it will cause dizziness and bloodshed. If it surges up, the meridians will be cut off and you will die in severe cases.”
"I know a lot." Xue Zhanyi nodded and said, "However, the power of this Foehn is more than that." He said, his eyes fell on the Liufan Temple not far away, "You should be lucky, follow me come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden gust of wind.The muffled sound, which was originally invisible, passed through the mountains and forests like the roar of a tiger, roaring and roaring, one after another, roaring and rolling between the sky and the earth, deafening.The huge sound was earth-shattering, and the entire Liufan Temple was shaken.Finally, the mud bricks and mud tiles of Liufan Temple were overwhelmed, and they fell apart and collapsed amidst the roar of heaven and earth.
"Brother Mei, Brother Luo—" Jia Wuju couldn't help shouting when he thought of the few people who were still in Liufan Temple.The bricks and tiles, in this continuous reverberation, fell one after another, and the dust flew up. The originally magnificent ancient temple of the former dynasty turned into a pile of loess and sand in an instant.
This is true for wood and stone, let alone flesh and blood?
No matter how good the martial arts are, how good the body skills are, how can they avoid this sudden collapse of bricks and tiles?
Jia Wujuan's worry was beyond words.
"At this point, do you still have time to worry about others?" Xue Zhanyi turned around and stared at him for a moment, with a slight smile on his face, showing that he was in a good mood.
"Don't worry about others, are you worried about you?" Jia Wujue looked cold and his voice was cold.
Xue Zhanyi seemed to have discovered something interesting, his eyes lit up: "Are you finally willing to show your true colors?"
"Haven't your Excellency heard a saying that it is indecent to come and not go?"
Jia Wukai's figure flickered, but in the blink of an eye, a mask as thin as cicada's wings was already on his hand.
The person whose mask was taken off touched his face in disbelief, his face turned blue and red, and after a while he looked at Jia Wuchai, gritted his teeth and said, "You're so fast, I underestimated you."
