Who made me a peerless genius

After all, it was really unambiguous, and he was the first to rush forward.

Although Zang Feixing is usually negligent in practice, he is not like Xiao Tianhuang who has re-cultivated his martial arts. He is also practicing the authentic Taixuan magical arts of the Taoist sect. His inner strength is very good. He was slightly startled in his heart—he had hardly seen Zang Feixing use his internal energy.

Ming Zongyi and Xiao Tianhuang were also unambiguous here, and they activated the Resplendent Sutra Profound Form one after another. After the orthodox Resplendent Sutra Practitioner Profound Form passed, the combat effectiveness would drop sharply, but Ming Zongyi didn't have this problem, he still had Taixuan In terms of inner breath, it can be said that he will gradually enter a better state after the esoteric ceremony of the Brilliant Sutra is over.

The three of them rushed out and fought together with these ghostly figures. These people made it still the strange weapon of that day. The three of them caught the opening and broke their moves one after another. After a few short encounters, these few The ghostly figure has already retreated steadily.

After the night of Yaoguang, Ming Zongyi figured out the flaws of this strange weapon, and told Xiao Tianhuang and Zang Feixing that it would be impossible to understand this weapon thoroughly, but with these few The cultivation of the man in black was originally just a product of the assembly line according to the scriptures. Ask Dong Dong about the tricks of the top masters on the list, and Ming Zongyi can be broken without a few glances, let alone them.

In an instant, the man in black was defeated like a mountain, Xiao Tianhuang took the lead and saw the blood. He seemed to have a feud with life and death, and the last time he saw him, he was red-eyed.

Ming Zongyi kept his eyes open and wanted to catch a living, but it was too difficult. Facing the same opponent, the difficulty of defeating the three things of killing, killing and catching alive increased exponentially——Of course, there were exceptions. Soft bones, the difficulty of killing is the same as capturing alive, but these men in black have been more or less brainwashed, killing them is not particularly difficult, but capturing alive... Anyway, until the end, kill two , ran away three.

Among the two people who died, one was killed by Xiao Tianhuang, and the other was made up by his companion—that person ran two meters away, and saw that his teammate was still alive, and was killed by Ming Zongyi and Zang Feixing worked together to remove his chin, hands and feet, and he couldn't even commit suicide. Now he risked his life and turned his head and flew a hidden weapon to kill his teammates. Although his strength is not bad, Ming Zongyi, who has no experience in the world, looks stupid up.

After the scuffle, the street was in a mess, there were a few yamen servants around, probably they were just beside them, and they rushed over after hearing the movement, they all shrank away as if they hadn't seen it.

The imperial court is seldom willing to take care of the affairs of the rivers and lakes. If ordinary people are affected, there is no way to do it. They can only grit their teeth and go through the process. Generally speaking, ordinary local officials are unwilling to spend more effort on this kind of matter, and they can't find anything after checking, and even get into trouble if they are not sure. Indirect blindness.

Of course, if the ordinary people on one side were affected, or if Ming Zongyi and his party took the initiative to report to the officials, that would be another story.

This is similar to the situation between the Xiang family and Yang Shan. The Xiang family participated in the struggle of the imperial court. As a power in the Jianghu, Yang Shan is definitely not willing to intervene, for fear of causing a commotion, but the imperial court is an official force. , I have more responsibilities on my body, and sometimes I have to be forced to take care of it, but in most cases, I can ignore it, and one thing more is worse than one thing less.

This kind of situation did not exist during the period when the Tibetan Taizu exterminated the martial arts. In the early and middle stages of the Tibetan Dynasty, it was also a paradise for common people. Everyone thinks that he is a big hero sweeping the world, and he doesn't think that he is a small guy who was killed casually. Those who would potentially benefit from the destruction of martial arts, they can't make a sound.

Of course, power cannot be blamed for everything. There is nothing wrong with power itself. It is the people who use it that are wrong. However, it is hard to deny that power can amplify people's ambitions and desires, and increase the damage they cause.

Chapter 25 Death of the Bandit

Gu Ran helped Taixuanmen dispose of the body of the man in black. As a returnee, he has his own way.

On the side of Taixuanmen, together with the widow of Lin Zhi County, Lin Zhi County was buried in the ground. With the last handful of soil covered, the mission of the three of them to go out of the mountain was successfully completed. It is said that he will not continue to attack the tomb and family members of Linzhi County—even if he does, there is no other way, no one in the world can protect others for a lifetime.

Gu Ran left his belongings to the wife of the magistrate of Lin, and worshiped again and again at the grave of magistrate of Lin, with a very sad expression on his face, the Taixuanmen did not urge him, and stood aside to discuss what to do next.

Ming Zongyi suggested:

"The remnants of life and death should not be wrong. The two times we were targeted were in the city, so to be on the safe side, we should also go back through the mountain trails when we go back. Although I don't want to go through it again, there is no forest. For the county magistrate, it should be a little easier than before."

—— Mu Shaofeng, who was eavesdropping on the side, turned green when he said this.

Xiao Tianhuang nodded in agreement, "That's right...it's getting dark, we should leave Fengwen City overnight and not stay here for a moment, and it won't be so easy to find us in the wild."

Zang Feixing's face was not very good-looking, he said: "Taking the wilderness path is just a waste of time, in my opinion, we should just ride the official road and throw these people far away, just like when we came here, On the contrary, it is easy to be found out, the people who live and die are professional killers, and they must be better at fighting in the field than us."

Although Zang Feixing has another purpose, what he said is indeed justified. The life and death are close to extinction, and there are only three or two big cats and kittens left. Believe too much.

"By the way, why are we being targeted... Is it because the elder brother leveled the gap between life and death?"

Ming Zongyi folded his hands on his chest. He no longer wondered how he was targeted. Anyway, it must have happened in Yangshan. Yangshan was full of guests, and there was a mixed bag of fish and dragons. It is not surprising that anyone is there. His appearance is so obvious. It's normal to be recognized.

Zang Feixing guessed at will.

"Could it be that he wants to avenge his comrades in life and death? But I don't think he killed his companions without hesitation, so he doesn't look like that. In other words, it should be for the secret books and treasures in life and death. He caught us and threatened senior brother ..."

--------

"what?!"

"......"

Hearing the sudden news of the 'death' from the man in black, Luo Yan and the hunchbacked old man each reacted, but it was Luo Yan who maintained his composure, and the hunchbacked old man who had matured into a mature man was the one who exclaimed.

Different from Luo Yan's attitude of "Do you think I will believe your nonsense?", the hunchbacked old man has already felt a lot. With the strength and status of the other party, there is no need to tell an obvious lie, so the Longzhou giant... .. may well be dead.

The man in black sat down calmly.

"Before he died, he just used up your only flying eagle, otherwise someone should have sent you a letter by now... But it doesn't matter, we have more here, here you are."

He took out a letter from his pocket and put it on the table.

The hunchbacked old man picked up the somewhat crumpled letter... he recognized the handwriting on it, it was Luo Gaorong's housekeeper.

The hunchbacked old man glanced at him, and his face suddenly turned gray. The housekeeper knew a set of code words. If he was forced, he would naturally have a way to express it in the letter, but the housekeeper didn't... which means the content of the letter It's true, the giant bandit in Longzhou was dead, beheaded by a young man with a mysterious origin.

The young man even left a piece of paper there, on which was written in black and white, the crimes of the gangsters in Longzhou, including many collusions with court officials, which aroused the court's anger and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter——— There are many things in the world that everyone knows. They just didn't say it before, but now they have been pointed out, which just gives some people a reason to make efforts.

The hunchbacked old man can't take care of so much anymore. He and the Longzhou giant bandit have known each other for 30 years. On the surface, the two are master and servant, but in fact they are both master and father. When he dies, he will be sent to a black-haired man by a white-haired man, which is more sad than Luo Yan's own son.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. There is a reason why I made a special trip to tell you this." The black-robed man said calmly, "Shi Yang, that's what I call it, right. You should know my inner aura. I used to be a The shining messenger between life and death..."

"..."

The hunchbacked old man had gloomy eyes, and sat on the head of the bed blankly, without any response.

Luo Yan's face on the other side was also ugly, but he didn't lose his composure. He realized that the black robed people would not come to them for no reason, and immediately grasped the key words in the black robe's mouth.

"once?"

"Yes, once." The man in black said calmly: "More than half a year ago, the entire Bright Qi family encountered a great horror and was bulldozed. The life and death became worthless dust in the long history. The young man written in this letter...he leveled the world of life and death, as well as your Luo family."

This explosive news was so shocking that Luo Yan couldn't react for a while, and the eyes of the hunchbacked old man on the side became even darker. If that person was so strong, wouldn't he even have a chance of revenge? Being bulldozed, let alone a mere Longzhou bandit.

The man in black was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for the two to digest the information.

After about half a stick of incense, Luo Yan spoke slowly.

"You shouldn't be bored enough to come here to tell us the news."

"Of course." The man in black said calmly: "Perhaps you have already thought about it, the world of life and death has been destroyed, so who is the person who claims to be a big shot in the world of life and death? Three of the four are his juniors , I allow you to kill two of them to vent your anger, but I will take the last one to make a deal with him."

Luo Yan's psychological quality is quite strong, and now he has barely returned to normal. He calmly said: "With the strength you have shown, it seems that we are not needed."

"Hehe..." the black-robed man smiled calmly, "I'm a little surprised, a chance for revenge is in front of you, and you still have to tell me this and that, it really makes me wonder if your father-son relationship is not good It's too harmonious, but it doesn't matter if I tell you, there is someone protecting them in the dark, that person is on par with me in strength, but the kung fu between life and death is an assassination skill, I need someone to charge forward for me, and force out the one who is in front of me. Those who secretly protect them, only in this way can I——”

"I promise you."

The man in black robe couldn't finish his sentence, but was interrupted by the hunchbacked old man.

He paused every word, gritted his teeth, and growled heart-piercingly.

"There's no need to talk so much... I must kill!"

Chapter 26 Past

After some discussion, Ming Zongyi and the others decided to spend the night in Fengwen City first. They had been traveling for several days without a good rest. It was going to be dark today, and if they had to leave the city in a hurry, they would not even have enough time to get supplies Buying, entering the wild in such a state, I am afraid that it will not go far.

The night watch is still the same, with two and two shifts, each sleeping for two and a half hours --- under Zang Feixing's argument, this time was changed to three hours.

"If I come out with you, I will lose at least ten years of my life. I can bear anything. I can't bear to sleep for two and a half hours a day. I almost fell asleep in the tub when I was taking a shower today. When I was fighting, I couldn't bear it." Can't cheer up..."

"I've never seen you raise your spirits in a fight." Xiao Tianhuang replied lukewarmly, Zang Feixing was cowardly, and didn't care about him, after all, it was the truth.

"Senior Gu and I rest first, and we will change shifts in three hours." Zang Feixing entered the room with a yawn, and Mu Shaofeng next door also reached out to extinguish the candle, and began to sleep at a shallow level. I just read about these nanny jobs in books, but I didn’t expect it to be so hard in practice. There is nothing easy to solve like eating, drinking, and sleeping. If I knew it was like this, I might as well let him go to Taiping County… He can't swipe alone, and he can't find anyone.

Not to mention him, if it wasn't for Qu Chenxiu's letter, Qu Chen wouldn't be able to find it. The giant bandit in Longzhou is the local emperor in Taiping County, and few people know where he is hiding. The Brilliant Qi family needs an Ultra Giant one level older to easily plow him over, and all the evidence of crimes can be found clearly and clearly.

At nightfall, Ming Zongyi began to exchange the essence of the Resplendent Sutra with Xiao Tianhuang in a low voice. At the beginning of this journey, Xiao Tianhuang still taught Ming Zongyi, but now the two sides communicate on an equal footing and express their opinions.

"The esoteric formula of the Brilliant Sutra is really nothing to say, but it consumes too much. If the most extreme brilliance bursts out, I'm afraid it won't even last for three seconds... It's enough for a killer, but it's enough for a warrior. , it was a little bit worse."

"It's normal to have one point of internal breath and one point of state."

"Fourth senior brother, do you feel that there is still a little room for improvement in the esoteric formulas of the Brilliant Sutra? When I practiced these past few days, I always felt that the esoteric formulas were not perfect, and there is definitely room for improvement. , but when I tried to improve, all ended in failure, this ultimate esoteric formula seems to be to practice the Brilliant Sutra to perfection..."

"Even in life and death, very few people have practiced the Resplendent Sutra to perfection."

"Yes... Basically, the practice is over when it comes to the profound ritual."

Ming Zongyi nodded. The Brilliant Sutra has very little blessing on attributes, and it will not increase the speed of strengthening the inner breath after comprehending it deeply. Therefore, few people will continue to understand the remaining essence of the Brilliant Sutra.

However, after Ming Zongyi studied it, he believed that there was still room for improvement in the esoteric formulas of the Resplendent Sutra, but he had to practice the Resplendent Sutra to perfection, that is, to fully understand it, and to understand the practice to the level of the founder.

"Recently, I do feel like this occasionally during my practice." Xiao Tianhuang said in a low voice, "But it's not easy to practice a skill to perfection."

"There may be the ultimate mystery of the Brilliant Sutra between life and death... But it seems that senior brother doesn't have it." Ming Zongyi rubbed his chin, if Qu Chen had it, he must have brought it out, "I don't know Do the people chasing us understand... Wait, they won't think that Senior Brother has this, and then want to take us as hostages to exchange with Senior Brother?"

"...It is indeed possible."

"Then we're really unlucky..." Ming Zongyi sighed.

Xiao Tianhuang narrowed his eyes, his voice was almost full of killing intent.

"No...it's really a blessing for me, come if you have the ability."

Ming Zongyi's heart moved, and he wanted to ask something, but finally shut up.

Xiao Tianhuang glanced at him lightly.

"I just hate this about you...You are still a kid in terms of age, and you have the right to be willful, but you have suppressed it. It seems that you are so mature, but in fact you can't hide it. How good, you should see it or you have to see it, it’s really redundant, you’re not young when you should be young, aren’t you afraid of rebounding when you get old.”

When Xiao Tianhuang got to this point, Ming Zongyi simply stopped hiding and asked, "Fourth Senior Brother, how was your relationship with life and death...?"

Xiao Tianhuang looked calm, but Ming Zongyi knew that there were many things that he couldn't let go of.

"Some mundane things, when I was a child, people in the life and death space stared at some things in my house, sent people to kill my whole family, just me, a lucky kid escaped, I was still a child , I'm really young, I can't survive on my own, a brothel girl took me in..."

When Xiao Tianhuang said this, he stopped and looked up at the sky, as if recalling the past.

Ming Zongyi asked in a low voice: "And then?"

"Then?" Xiao Tianhuang repeated inexplicably, his voice was still calm, but there was an indescribable depression in it, "Then she was broken by a guest, and died of illness in bed. I sent it to a temple, hoping that the monks there would be merciful and help me as a child, but the monks there thought I was the son of a prostitute and drove me away."

Ming Zongyi couldn't help but said: "Brother, didn't you explain?"

Xiao Tianhuang slowly shook his head.

"The girl in the brothel, I still don't know her name, I only know that others call her Shibaluo, and later I know that it is the name of a flower, Shibaluo, she is not my mother, but she is not born to me. And Yang, in my heart, is no different from my mother, and I don’t want to refute what the monks in the temple said.”

"...When I got home, Shibaluo was already dead. Someone rolled up the bed and threw the mat. A monk followed me home and buried Shibaluo to save her. Later, the monk I was taken in, so I was excluded by the monks in the temple, and I was considered to have an affair with Shiba Luo. I was regarded as his illegitimate child, and was finally kicked out of the temple. One day he drowned trying to save a child from drowning... so stupid, he couldn't swim himself."

"..."

Xiao Tianhuang suddenly stopped talking, he stared at the bright moon in the sky, the past was a lingering nightmare, his life was always filled with all kinds of unimaginable misfortunes, but even so, there were still people who extended a helping hand , but what happened to those who extended a helping hand, it seemed that he was blocked by this unlucky guy. People often say that the cycle of natural retribution is not good, but Xiao Tianhuang saw through the meaning of this sentence very early on. Those who are unable to resist injustice can comfort themselves helplessly. There has never been any natural retribution in this world. No matter what you want, whether it is fair or just, you must rely on your own hands to fight for it.

Chapter 27

The night is dark and the wind is high, unlike the ancient city of Yaoguang, which has a relatively rich nightlife, not long after nightfall, Fengwen City is already silent, and under this silence, an undercurrent of madness is surging.

The hunchbacked old man summoned the other subordinates of the Longzhou giant bandit and told them the news of the Longzhou giant bandit's death and that he was going there as a bait to charge forward. you.

This group of people looked at each other a few times, and part of them walked away, perhaps out of pity for their lives, or because they didn't believe what the hunchbacked old man said about the black-robed man, but more people stayed, whether it was because the Longzhou bandit treated them It doesn't matter whether it's because the hunchbacked old man promised huge profits. When the time comes, no one cares about it except themselves.

"They stayed overnight at the Yan's Inn... At three o'clock in the morning, we set off. The younger ones will kill two and keep one, and the older ones can do whatever they want." The hunchbacked old man took out his belongings. For the preparation of the banquet, he was asked to do some things along the way. He spent a lot on the way, but the rest was still an astronomical figure. Taiping County is an important place of commercial port, rich as hell, and the bandits in Longzhou were naturally generous.

The hunchbacked old man divided the belongings, brought a jug of strong wine, and poured a glass for everyone. He had completely lost his former calm, like a mad lion, and couldn't wait to show his fangs and eyes. paw.

【"..."】

Luo Yan was sitting on the side, expressionless, with gloomy eyes, no one knew what he was thinking, he was holding the letter from the butler in his hand, his knuckles were already turning white.

"Let's all go out." In the end, the hunchbacked old man signaled others to leave the room, leaving only him and Luo Yan in the room.

"Young master, do you have anything to say?"

The hunchbacked old man looked at Luo Yan. If it was normal, he would probably say 'Young Master, you seem to be worried', but now he has no room to keep calm.

Luo Yan closed his eyes, still expressionless, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words with great force.

"Uncle Shi...he is using us and using us as cannon fodder."

"I know." The hunchbacked old man paused every word, "But, I don't care, not at all."

Yes, the hunchbacked old man doesn't care at all. People live in the world. If they always value themselves "whether they are used by others", they will live a very painful life. All kinds of people come from You take advantage of yourself, caring about these things will only drive yourself crazy.

The old man with a hunchback is very thorough, if he is used, he will be used, as long as he can achieve his goal, it is nothing.

Luo Yan still kept her eyes closed, as if she didn't want to see anything, the only way to make herself feel at ease.

He whispered, "Uncle Shi, you will be 69 this year."

"...?" The hunchbacked old man didn't know why Luo Yan mentioned this, but he still replied, "That's right."

Luo Yan took a deep breath, as if trying to gather courage.

"I'll just...speak it straight, Uncle Shi, you are sixty-nine this year, and you have practiced vicious kung fu. Not only will it not prolong your life, but it will shorten your life for a few years. Injury, you don't have long to live, and then, you have no children, no worries, so naturally you don't care about anything, and you have to fight for life and death..."

"Enough!" The hunchbacked old man abruptly interrupted Luo Yan, his eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "The young master is a martial arts prodigy with a bright future, so naturally he shouldn't risk his life in this kind of place, since that's the case. …”

"Uncle Shi... listen to me, I haven't finished yet!"

Before the hunchbacked old man could finish speaking, Luo Yan retaliated and interrupted him in a more forceful tone.
