[Comprehensive martial arts] Strength won't let me keep a low profile

With a wooden shovel in hand, the digging operation started.

To be honest, unless there is someone who is expert in Yishu who can guess Bai Xiaosheng's hiding place through hexagrams and divination, others can only dig the sand according to their luck.

Of course, everyone is not running around without a head.There are also some reference judgments. For example, Bai Xiaosheng is equivalent to living in the basement, and the place cannot be completely airtight, otherwise he will suffocate to death.

In other words, the space of the underground residence is relatively large.Maybe through the winding corridor, there is a gap near the ground that is a vent.

Finding holes in the sea of ​​sand is a test of patience.

At the beginning, everyone was full of energy. After half a month of digging, people quit one after another every day.

The total number of skilled martial arts practitioners has not decreased.

A letter that is read in public, its contents will not be kept strictly confidential.

The group that first arrived at Jingjue Old Land were all participants and relevant members of the Luoyang press conference of the Beggar Gang.Later, people came one after another, and they also heard some rumors to try their luck.

Good luck never came.

Soon, someone pointed out that Bai Xiaosheng had either moved away a long time ago, or died.

Back and forth, 25 days have passed since Bai Xiaosheng last appeared at the inn and bought food.

25 days!

To be able to survive without eating or drinking in the hinterland of the desert is not something Bai Xiaosheng can possess.Looking at the whole rivers and lakes, there are not many to be found.

Zuo Lengchan even put forward an appalling guess.

Could that letter be the bait for Bai Xiaosheng to join forces with some organization to deliberately disrupt the world?Lead them, a group of important sects, to the desert first, so that it is convenient for an organization to go to the various sects to stir up trouble?

Could Bai Xiaosheng really be related to a certain organization?

It's hard to say.But people have long suspected what is the channel of Baixiaosheng Lingtong's news. Is there a huge network behind him?

No matter which one it is, it is stupid to continue digging the sand to find people, and the crowd of people gathered in the old place will gradually recede.

In the end, including Chi Zangfeng, only the 13 people in the inn lobby remained.

That's right.

Zuo Lengchan, who proposed conspiracy theories, also stayed.He explained that if an accident really happened, it would be too late to rush back to Songshan.It's too late, we have to dig out Bai Xiaosheng's lair, maybe there will be corresponding clues.

But not all the people left behind were concentrating on continuing to find someone.

In November, the deserts of the Western Regions were covered with vast seas and hundreds of feet of ice.

Poems have more or less the art of exaggeration.

However, the real weather environment is already very bad.The cold wind was blowing, and it was snowing for several days at a time, and many places in the desert were frozen.

Situ Jing has replaced three broken wooden shovels.

After all, wooden utensils are no better than iron utensils. Even if you use martial arts to dig the ground, the rate of wear and tear is very high.

'click--'

Another wooden shovel was scrapped.

Situ Jing threw the half of the shovel handle on the ground in displeasure, when will this damn day end!

"Why do you insist on finding Bai Xiaosheng! The Palace Master is so powerful, and Shenshui Palace has no shortage of rare treasures, yet you still insist on finding out the untrue message. This..."

This made her have to be tortured in this ghost place.

In the second half of the sentence, Situ Jing didn't even dare to complain in a low voice.

Everyone in Shenshui Palace obeys the orders of Yin Ji, the jellyfish.Before departure, Yin Ji, the jellyfish, told them to obey the arrangement of Gong Nanyan, the guardian of Zuo, and they must obey the arrangement now.

Shenshui Palace, so depressing.

Situ Jing already had this feeling.

When she left the palace and walked a long way, from the Xiangshui River to the Western Regions, compared with how free the outside world was, the oppressive feeling imposed on her by the jellyfish Yin Ji became more obvious.

Thinking about it this way, it would be good to continue digging sand in the desert for a while, at least there are people here who make her secretly happy.

Who is that person?

Situ Jing didn't dare to reveal it to the outside world, because the Shenshui Palace had always forbidden contact with outsiders.

She has never seen a person who is more beautiful and more temperament than Wuhua. How can there be such a beautiful existence in the world?The only pity is that Wuhua is a monk.

"Master Situ."

Wuhua didn't have a wooden shovel, a lamp in one hand, and a wooden fish and Jianzhi (the stick for knocking the wooden fish) in the other, looking for a remote place to meditate.

The inn is too small, and the sound of knocking wooden fish is bound to affect others.

Although it was dark at night, it was not yet the normal sleep time.Originally it was fine to make some disturbances, but now all the people staying in the inn are looking for Bai Xiaosheng day and night, trying to catch up on sleep.

According to the performance of the wonderful monk outside, one should consider others and go out to find a suitable place for meditation.

At that moment, Wuhua saw Situ Jing in a daze, but she didn't expect someone to come to the remote place she was looking for.

"Ah! Master Wuhua!"

Situ Jing didn't notice that someone was approaching at all, and she was startled when she heard someone calling for fame from behind.

That feeling is that you are thinking about a person, and that person just happens to appear.

Situ Jing lowered her head slightly, suddenly she was too nervous to look directly at the person coming, but her heart beat faster.

Wu Hua didn't seem to see Situ Jing's special affection for him, even though many young girls looked at him with similar eyes in the past two years, he could turn a blind eye.

However, the fingers holding Qianzhi tightened a little.

"Since the wooden shovel is broken, Master Situ might as well go back to the inn to change it."

Wuhua turned around as she said that, the desert is so big, he can meditate in another place, there are always places where there are no people.

No one can stop him from knocking on the wooden fish quietly.

It's not that he has to do homework to worship the Buddha every day, but to reduce the fire of resentment in his heart.During this trip to the west, the more he couldn't find Bai Xiaosheng, the more depressed he became.

"Grandmaster……"

Situ Jing didn't expect Wuhua to leave without chatting a few words, she said in a flash, "Master, I have something to tell you, it's related to the Palace Master."

Something to do with the jellyfish Yin Ji?

Wu Hua stopped in her tracks. He could turn a blind eye to Situ Jing, but it was impossible to treat Yin Ji the jellyfish with the same attitude. "Oh? I don't know what Situ benefactor means? The poor monk has no relationship with Shenshui Palace, how can he alarm the Master of Water Palace?"

"You misunderstood, it's not a shock. I want to say that the Palace Master loves Buddhism. Yes, the Palace Master appreciates people with profound Buddhism."

Situ Jing talked more and more smoothly, and thought of a way to get along with Wuhua more. "The seven wonderful monks are famous all over the world, and the palace master once praised the master. Can the master go to the Shenshui Palace to give lectures?"

This invitation was a bit unexpected.

Wuhua thinks of his "good" mother, Shi Guanyin has not left the Western Regions for many years, and will never step into the Yumen Pass, just because she is afraid of the jellyfish Yinji.

What is the feud between the two?

Shi Guanyin would never say anything, let alone admit that she was afraid of Yin Ji, the jellyfish.But he assigned a task to the eldest son, asking Wuhua to steal Tianyi Shenshui in the future.

As for how to steal it, it depends on Wuhua's own ability.The Shenshui palaces are all women, so it would not be difficult to trick one of them into offering poison with the skill of a wonderful monk.

Wuhua: At that time, what was he thinking?

Rebuttals cannot be refuted, and Shi Guanyin will not obey the tiger's poison and not eat its children.But according to Shi Guanyin's hint, let him hook up with a woman, this method really tortured him too much.

Why torture?

Wuhua lowered her eyes, hiding her emotions.Some bitterness and hatred, Shi Guanyin will never understand, and she is the instigator.

The downcast eyes were only for a moment, and when he went to see Situ Jing again, his face remained calm. "I have heard the name of Water Palace Master for a long time. It would be a pleasure for this poor monk to discuss Buddhism with him. But..."

"But what?"

Situ Jing was in a hurry, she finally reacted quickly and found a reason, she didn't want to hear any buts.

When people are in a hurry, it is easy to make small mistakes.

Situ Jing subconsciously took a step closer to Wuhua, and kicked the wooden shovel that had just broken.

'嗖——' With a sound, the broken shovel flew out.

It didn't fly too far, it flew five feet away, and plunged into a small sand dune half a person's height.

There is a layer of crushed ice on the surface of the small dunes.

The ice surface was pierced by the broken shovel, and there was a crackling sound of "click-click-".

The sound echoed in the empty desert.

Situ Jing's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, but the next moment she exclaimed. "Sand, dunes, it..."

What happened to the dunes?

Wuhua looked over.

I saw the entire frozen sand dune suddenly split into two from the inside, and a pair of hands protruded from the gap.

Like a corpse opening the coffin, these hands opened the gap.

Immediately afterwards, by the light of the lantern, a head was vaguely seen poking out.

First he saw the head wearing a white hat, and then the terrifying face hit his sight.

"Ah! It's a ghost! It's Bai Wuchang!"

Situ Jing subconsciously wanted to hide behind Wu Hua, but the next voice made her freeze.

"Just chat when you chat, don't throw things around, can you?"

Chi Zangfeng completely shattered the sand dune and drilled out of it.Shaking the gravel off his clothes, he took off the white towel covering his head to prevent the sand.

There was a moment of silence.

Only the cold wind was blowing, but it couldn't blow away the awkward atmosphere at the scene.

Perhaps, only Situ Jing felt embarrassed, so embarrassed that she wished she could get into that sand dune and bury herself.

"You actually sneaked in the dark and eavesdropped on us, you are really shameless!"

Situ Jing quickly came back to her senses, how much did she overhear what she said to herself just now?In fact, she didn't really say some of her thoughts, but she subconsciously felt uneasy about being watched, and she blurted out scolding out of embarrassment.

"Girl, please be reasonable, I'm here first."

Chi Zangfeng pointed to the broken sand dune, "I carved words on it, and each word was as big as your head. "There is someone here, who is experimenting with the method of burying people, please do not disturb!""

The dunes have collapsed.

There was no way to prove whether Chi Zangfeng was lying, but the helplessness in her tone did not seem to be lying.

Situ Jing: How could I see it!

I didn't dig the sand seriously before, so I didn't pay attention to the condition of the dunes at all.

"Who knows if you have engraved or not. The dunes are gone, you can say whatever you want."

It was impossible for Situ Jing to admit the mistake, and she turned to ask Wu Hua, "Master, you must have not seen it, right?"

Wuhua has a bit of a migraine, why is it so difficult to find a quiet place to knock wooden fish?

Perhaps, I should thank Situ Jing for kicking, otherwise I would not know that there was a third person on the spot.It doesn't feel good to have someone by your side but not know.

"The poor monk did not come from the direction of the sand dunes, so it is impossible to determine whether there are writings on the sand dunes."

There is no objective answer.If he hadn't talked to Situ Jing halfway, and he had written in advance as Chi Zangfeng said, he would definitely check the sand dunes before he sat down. "Master Situ, where are you coming from?"

Subtext:

If Situ Jing passed through the sand dunes, only she would know whether she saw the words or not, and there was no other person to testify about this matter.

Situ Jing bit the bullet and scolded again and again, she must not admit that she didn't pay attention. "I didn't come from the direction of the dunes either."

Yeah?The footprints on the ground have not been completely buried by the wind and sand.

Chi Zangfeng didn't poke it, and finally saved face for the girl's family.Not for Situ Jing, but for Yin Ji, the jellyfish behind her.

"Okay, if you say you didn't see it, you didn't see it. Miss Situ has always told the truth, otherwise she wouldn't have said harshly that I have no skin and no face. Don't you just take a good look at my half face, which is an incomplete skin? There is no complete face. Dare to tell the truth, you are awesome."

irony!

If you don't understand that it's sarcasm, then your intelligence level is really very low.

Situ Jing's pretty face turned white and red when she was ridiculed.

If it were Gong Nanyan here, she would definitely draw her sword without saying a word.Of course, Gong Nanyan didn't have the urge to speak unscrupulously, so the subsequent drawing of the sword would not be valid.

"How can you be aggressive."

Situ Jing's eyes were red, she was ashamed and annoyed.The most angry thing is that Chi Zangfeng actually said this to her in front of Wuhua. Isn't this ruining her image?

Chi Zangfeng took a deep breath, is this a blow?Situ Jing can scold, but no one is allowed to respond?

Why are there so many people with strange brain circuits in the rivers and lakes? Why can't she be lucky enough to meet a female friend with online intelligence, sweet or sassy personality?

Although Chu Liuxiang said that when the book theft case was over, she would treat her guests to Jiangnan to have a good meal to celebrate, and introduce a few normal people to her by the way, but because she encountered so many strange things, she didn't know if she could look forward to it.

"Miss Situ, I'm very reasonable. The words you just used, if you meet someone with a bad temper, you will be destroyed directly."

Chi Zangfeng was sure that the people in Shenshui Palace were really too arrogant.People in the Jianghu are trying to save face for Yin Ji, the jellyfish, so it's hard to say anything to her disciples.

What's more, Chi Zangfeng didn't have any malicious intentions, at most it was a bad taste that picked a good time to come out.

"If I really want to eavesdrop, I won't break out of the sand dunes to let you see. I have good intentions, and I will tell you that you must be on guard. Walls have ears. If you want to talk about secrets, you must carefully investigate the environment. After being vigilant Don’t get yourself killed just because of a mistake.”

It wasn't complicated at all.

Situ Jing was frightened, and it was natural to scold a few words, but she couldn't scold too harshly without opening and lifting any pot.

After Chi Zangfeng explained, if he can do things, he will borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and I will be polite.

After all, both parties are still in the same old place, and it is not good to find Bai Xiaosheng together as a cooperative relationship.Just like Zuo Lengchan and Chi Zangfeng were at odds with each other, but there was no conflict for the time being.

Situ Jing couldn't stand it.

People in Shenshui Palace have always been highly regarded by people in the Jianghu. Life in the palace was very boring in the past, but she has never been angry with anyone.

Except for Yin Ji, the jellyfish, even someone as strict as Gong Nanyan didn't accuse her face-to-face.

"It's not your turn to teach me!"

Situ Jing raised her chin and said in a contemptuous tone, "My master is Yin Ji, the jellyfish. What are you? You're just a coffin seller. How dare you hide in the sand dunes to find clues? Normal people would do this. If you can find Bai Xiaosheng's place, I can still bark like a dog!"

A bunch of words, said and ran.

Situ Jing didn't want to stay in this place where she was about to suffocate.

"Hey……"

Chi Zangfeng didn't expect Situ Jing to run away if he couldn't make a noise, which is so boring.

"Listening to the sand and debating positions is not a third-rate practice. It is borrowed from Yuan Suiyun's listening to the wind and debating skills. You can take it easy and don't talk nonsense in front of the young master of Wuzheng Villa."

Otherwise, what Yuan Suiyun would do with the duplicity in appearance is really beyond Chi Zangfeng's imagination.

I don't know if Situ Jing listened to the warning, and watched her use the lightness kung fu to the extreme and ran away without looking back.

Wuhua listened to it, "Afeng, do you know the owner of Yuan Shaozhuang?"

"do not know."

Chi Zangfeng lied without changing his face, "But I have heard his name for a long time. Yuan Suiyun can't look at it. Isn't his famous skill just listening to the wind and debating his position."

A question and an answer, the end is very fast.

In the darkness of night, the desolate desert became quiet again.

The cold wind is still blowing.

It was a bit cool to blow on the two of them.

The wind is very strong, as strong as when we first saw it.

The wind in the desert is different from the wind in the sea after all.

"you……"

Chi Zangfeng looked at Wuhua, and really didn't know what to talk about.I asked him if he had found the family member he was thinking of, but this person had already become a monk, so it seemed that he had lost his relationship.

"Is your food in Southern Shaolin okay? I heard that one of the seven wonderful monks is a vegetarian who cooks very well. Is it because the big pot of rice tastes inappropriate, so you can only work on your own?"

Flowerless: ...

This question is too down-to-earth, he hasn't heard such a sincere question for a long time, and the person who asked this question last time was Chu Liuxiang.

Chi Zangfeng then overturned her guess, "Shouldn't it? The kitchens of the Northern and Southern Shaolin Temples were cleaned up more than eight years ago. When you became a monk, the treatment and professional ability of the kitchen monks should have received high attention."

Can you not pay attention!

Huo Gang, a stove monk, came out of Northern Shaolin, and the Bodhidharma Academy was almost wiped out.After this incident, of course, we must be cautious. To give good treatment to kitchen monks, we also require them to have good cooking skills.

"Cooking is just a hobby."

Wuhua didn't let Chi Zangfeng's imagination go any further, otherwise the ghost knows what she could deduce.He simply replied, "Others, such as poems, words, books, paintings, and tea ceremony are all hobbies, for doing things in your free time. Don't you have any?"

"Oh, I have."

Chi Zangfeng said in a tone of understanding and approval, "Do what you do and love what you do. My hobby is to play as a funeral musician when I am free. Playing the suona is very emotional."

What is it like?

Maybe it's the end of the song, the living can't laugh or cry, and the dead leave in peace.

This topic is dead.

Wuhua has never played the suona, and that kind of rogue instrument overwhelms the sound of the piano when it is blown, how could it be used by a wonderful monk.

The scene was quiet again.

Chi Zangfeng looked at the wooden fish in Wuhua's hand, and knew that he wanted to find a place to meditate and watch the wooden fish.These days, sometimes when she is looking for people outside, she will also hear the faint sound of wooden fish.

"It's very good to keep paying respects to the Buddha every day. It seems that you want to take refuge in the Buddha with all your heart, then I will..."

Just what?

Chi Zangfeng swallowed the words 'rest assured' back.This time, when I found out that my old friend had become a monk, I was surprised at first but then breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason is very obscure and cannot be revealed to the outside world.

The Sunflower Cheats that the two read together back then, if Wuhua couldn't help but practice, the consequences would be the same as Ouyang Cheng's, there would be a conflict of yin and yang in the body.It can range from internal injuries to serious injuries, and a solution must be found.

What if Wuhua came to her and asked for a solution?

We read the books together, and there was a bit of passion, so we couldn't be unkind and not give any advice.

Now that Wuhua is a monk, all four things are empty, it is better to abstain from sex and lust.

Assuming that the zhenqi in his body is still uncontrollable after practicing the exercises, Chi Zangfeng can grit his teeth and give him a one-stop solution.

——From the palace.

Cutting a knife is very difficult for other men, but it should not be a problem for a monk.

Anyway, the Buddha said that he was going to cut off the world of mortals, and the monk kept his body for nothing, so he thought very openly and cut it directly.

Rather than looking for rare herbs and waiting for an effective prescription that is out of reach, if there is no other way to achieve peerless martial arts, just go to the palace.

From the palace, the simplest and fastest.

Of course, Chi Zangfeng didn't want to give such a suggestion, there was no other way.

The best thing is that Wuhua asked the Buddha sincerely, and she was very self-controlled and didn't practice weird martial arts.Otherwise, I don't know if Wuhua can wait for her to come up with a prescription for treatment.

These words cannot be said directly.

Chi Zangfeng only asked, "That book, the one that disappeared in ashes, you haven't practiced it, have you?"

"No."

Wu Hua didn't change his face, he was the only one who knew the real situation, and he could still ask calmly, "Why are you mentioning it? Didn't you agree, since the books are all blown away with the wind, I won't mention them again."

Chi Zangfeng said calmly, "It's nothing. I couldn't find a topic to reminisce about. It was embarrassing, so I picked one that impressed me. But it seems that the conversation is dead again."

Wuhua: As expected of you.

Saying this embarrassing thing outrightly, can it not be embarrassing at all?

Silence fell again.

Wu Hua was so disturbed that she lost her interest in knocking on the wooden fish, so she simply asked, "You told Situ Jing to listen to the sand and debate positions, and bury yourself in the sand to find someone. Can the absurd method really have results?"

What's with this skeptical tone?

Chi Zangfeng smiled and pointed to the east.

"After nearly a month of elimination, I chose a few places to listen to the sound. Today luck finally came, there is an underground abnormal sound there, do you want to go and have a look?"

isn't it?

Really have a result?

Wuhua was surprised.

But after careful analysis, people are buried under the sand, their five senses are closed, and the rest of their hearing is very keen.The more expert the more sensitive, assuming the right place is chosen, it is really possible to find the vent successfully.

"The poor monk will wait and see."

Wuhua carried the lantern and walked with Chi Zangfeng for an incense stick, watching her tap left and right on the ground with a wooden shovel.

Soon, with a bang, an entrance that looked like a manhole cover was dug out.

The manhole cover is not tightly closed.

There is a slanted section, and the idiot flows in through the gap, making a slight hourglass sound.

The two looked at each other.

One month!Digging sand like a coolie finally had a glimmer of hope.But he didn't enter rashly, he went back to the inn first, called everyone, and arranged who would stay on top and who would go down to explore the way.

it's dark.

Everyone was excited when they heard the news.

No, to exclude a person.

Situ Jing's expression was very bad, as if he had been slapped.How can it be!She just mocked Chi Zangfeng if he finds Bai Xiaosheng, then she can also bark like a dog!

"I don't know if it's Bai Xiaosheng's residence, so I'm too excited."

Situ Jing firmly refused to believe it, so she said this sentence logically.

"Shut up!"

Gong Nanyan snorted coldly, "Shenshui Palace has always been united, and you are not active in finding someone. You are good at pouring cold water! If you talk too much, don't blame me for punishing you with palace rules outside!"

When mentioning the palace regulations, Gong Nanyan's expression became even colder.

She remembered again that Yin Ji, the jellyfish, had made a special case for Situ Jing. Although she would scold Situ Jing, she never punished her.

Yes, everything is unbearable.

Up and down the Shenshui Palace, is it true that Situ Jing is the only one who has not suffered physical punishment?

People like Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun didn't look well either.

That's right, what Situ Jing said was a possibility, this abandoned and buried place was not Bai Xiaosheng's lair.But there is finally a glimmer of hope, who wants to be said to be happy too early.

The others looked at Gong Nanyan and scolded him first, so it was not easy to scold him again.It is still important to find Bai Xiaosheng, discuss how to get out of the cave, and set off quickly.

No more accidents.

This time I went down the cave, clearing the quicksand while moving forward. After a winding road, I entered an underground cave without gravel.

Then there was a smell.

Faint rancid smell.

Looking for its source, an unlocked door was pushed open, and a corpse lay flat on the ground.

"It's Bai Xiaosheng!"

Ouyang Feng had seen this person before, but he didn't expect to meet him like this.

Because of the desert climate, the corpses did not decompose badly.

He could also see Bai Xiaosheng's facial expression, which was very weird, as if he was extremely happy and suddenly woke up, followed by abnormal fright.That made half of his face smile, and the other half panicked.

This scene caused the scene to fall into a brief silence.

Only Situ Jing cared more about another matter than Bai Xiaosheng's cause of death.He sneaked a few glances at Chi Zangfeng, afraid that she would deliberately mention the previous words to learn how to bark like a dog.

Chi Zangfeng didn't look at Situ Jing at all, and didn't care about those careless little thoughts, but quickly looked around the room.

The room is very small, with simple furniture such as beds, bookshelves, desks, and wardrobes.Very tidy, books and letters are neatly placed.

Yue Buqun's eyes drooped slightly, this death looked a little familiar, like the scene of the Huashan murder that he sneaked a glimpse of that year.Looking up again, he has a calm face, and there are certain things that must not be said.

Undercurrent, surge.
