Chapter 303: Strange Death
Wang Zongchao is not a frivolous and arrogant person, but he never underestimates himself. He knows very well that this world is a "medium demon, low martial arts" world to a certain extent, and the strength of top warriors is at least one level worse than that of top law masters. Just like Gao Xiang, Zong Zhen, Yue Pinger, Chen Tun's close bodyguard Jing Lin and others who met for the first time, they are all considered first-class masters and masters in the martial arts world, but they are not innate, roughly the B-level evaluation, compared to Taoism, Xuan
Master He, Yimei and others in the art world, are all one level behind. Shi Dakai was invincible before he became innate, but he mainly relied on "Medium-level Request for God" rather than martial arts cultivation. The monk Liankong I met not long ago had both innate cultivation and practiced "Medium-level Request for God", which is already an anomaly. However, since Gao Xiang obtained "Seventh Level of Ice and Fire" and reached the sixth level of heaven, his internal strength was much stronger than Liankong, and his overall combat power was not necessarily weaker than him.
However, Wang Zongchao's own skills have long exceeded the normal "Sixth Level of Ice and Fire". The internal strength alone is three or four times stronger than Gao Xiang, not to mention the advantages of explosive power, regaining energy, and micro-input use. In terms of internal strength alone, only the only one who may surpass him is the celestial master.
The level of foreign countries is not far different. Earl Dracula, who is dominant on one side, returned in the east. Van Helsing's B-level combat power is already considered to be the top monster hunter of the Holy See, but with his experience and equipment, even the marquis of the double B-level B-level blood clan can be killed.
Although it is not ruled out that "real masters hide in the mountains and live in seclusion", the possibility is pitifully low. After all, martial arts is the ability and wisdom to fight with others, and they will eventually fight with others. After all, they have to practice a body of extraordinary martial arts and become a saint, but they just hide and wait for their old age and death? On the contrary, some masters who emphasize the world and separation from the world have this possibility.
Compared with the two, if one or two celestial masters suddenly popped up from the *** people, the probability is basically zero. According to their previous assassination, there is no such thing as even the masters who can confront Gao Xiang head-on, and when they meet Wang Zongchao, they can only let them pinch it. On the contrary, there may be certain threats in terms of magic, and some magic weapons passed down from ancient times will also be threatened, such as the "Budu Soul-Reigning Sword" that injured Gao Xiang.
The so-called "strategic despise the enemy and tactical attention to the enemy." Wang Zongchao knew his advantages, but he would never treat the *** people as a joke. At least he should try to reduce the danger of his own people. So he said, "I have practiced martial arts over the years, learned a lot of experience, and improved the "Seventh Heaven of Ice and Fire" a lot, just confirming it with Brother Gao. In addition, I didn't teach A Tun much martial arts back then, and I am really ashamed of being a teacher, so I will take this opportunity to make up for it."
At that time, Chen Tun's internal energy of ice and fire was mainly passed down by Gao Xiang, and Wang Zongchao had already seen that Chen Tun had trained to the fourth level of ice and fire, but he had stopped and failed to improve again. His cultivation is getting deeper and his vision and theory are many times higher than that of that year. He knows that the reason for this situation is not only because Chen Tun is distracted by military and political affairs, but also because the internal energy of "The Seventh level of ice and fire" was not very suitable for him from the beginning.
Because "The Seventh Level of Ice and Fire" not only requires the practitioner to have strong will, but also requires the practitioner to be strong innately physically so that he can withstand the torture of overdrawing physical energy and domineering internal strength. Chen Tun's will is undoubtedly strong enough, but the innate physically physically is relatively thin and does not fully meet the requirements.
However, with Wang Zongchao's current cultivation level, it can completely help Chen Tun modify the internal energy of ice and fire, transform it into an internal energy that is truly suitable for him, and greatly improve his internal energy cultivation. Even if he fails to break through the innate world, he can improve his self-protection ability and improve his health and longevity.
"Thank you, Master... But my disciple hasn't been involved with anyone for many years, so I dare not ask my master to be too worried." The coach smiled slightly, then looked at his daughter Yu'er, with a loving look: "It's my daughter Luan Yu, I hope my master can give her more advice. I only have such a daughter under my knees. I don't want to pass on my career to my sons and grandchildren. I just want to have any changes in my political situation in the future, she can also have the strength to protect herself."
Yu'er is less than 20 years old, with a small nose and a lively eyes. She looks seventy-six-pointed and virtuous, but also three-pointed innocent. Her temperament is like a progressive young female student of this era. She has a black long bow on her back, and a black luster flowing, which makes her look even more heroic. She has been looking at Wang Zongchao curiously, and she seems to be unable to accept this "master" who looks no bigger than her. When she heard her father mention her, she couldn't help but curl her lips and smile: "Yu'er can not only protect herself, but the last time the group of ninjas came, the one who killed the most was my 'nail-headed Gu arrow'!"
"Nothing..."
Gao Xiang, who also practiced in the sixth level of heaven, was very surprised by what Wang Zongchao said: "What, your skills are so much better than me, and your use is even more amazing. I thought you had already practiced in the seventh level of heaven. But in this way, you have really improved this *** a lot."
"I actually got some secrets by chance ***..." Wang Zongchao was inconvenient to mention the main god space, but just smiled and told me, "As long as I am my own, I will not be afraid of letting my brother learn these skills. If you ask, I will tell you everything! Like this brother, who has superb sword skills and extraordinary cultivation, is he who uses the Wudang Tai Chi Sword?"
Seeing the commander-in-chief asking, Jing Lin quickly stood up as a junior and returned the greeting: "I dare not, I am here to be the tenth generation successor of the Wudang Sword."
It turned out that this person was a famous martial arts master and military general in modern Chinese history, the successor of Wudang swordsmanship, Li Jinglin, known as the "Wudang Sword Immortal". Wang Zongchao was moved, but his expression remained unmoved. He just nodded and said, "Tai Chi Sword leverages the power to fight the power, and the method of yin and yang is unparalleled in the world. I happen to have two similar martial arts, and I will talk about it with my brothers to discuss it."
"Thank you, senior." Jing Lin bowed and thanked her, neither humble nor arrogant. This man in his early thirties had a black beard that was neither long nor short, with straight eyebrows, gentle appearance, but his eyes were as bright as an eagle. It naturally made people feel majestic in their hearts at a glance. It was like the ancient Confucian general who sat in a marching tent and commanded thousands of troops.
The so-called Confucian general is a person who is knowledgeable but has great knowledge, but he can fight and command troops on the battlefield. He can win a thousand miles, pacify the world, and resolve the affairs of the king and the world, and have both civil and military affairs, and govern the country and the country. Such as Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms, Wang Yangming of the Ming Dynasty, etc., all of them are like this. No wonder the general Chen Tun takes it as his right-hand man.
"I won't talk about anything else in this trip. The gains from martial arts alone are already quite big!" Wang Zongchao thought to himself that although this world is low-martial arts, he should turn it into a middle-mart high-martial arts as much as possible. He is not stingy to pass on the martial arts of the main god space to the right people. When those martial arts develop in these people, he can also learn it back or learn from it usefully, and it can be said that it benefits others and self-interest.
People like Gao Xiang and Jing Lin have martial arts qualifications that surpass their world, but like Wang Zongchao before entering the main god space, they have been promoted by the existing conditions of the low martial arts world. If they can obtain the middle and high martial arts inheritance, it is inevitable that their martial arts will immediately make a leap.
Just as he passed on "The Seventh Level of Ice and Fire" to Gao Xiang, Gao Xiang created the powerful skill of "Yin Feng Flame Knife". In the past, if Wang Zongchao had not had many powerful skills and would have been injured, it would have been a great expansion of the outer moves of "The Seventh Level of Ice and Fire". What's more, although Gao Xiang did not have many resources and martial arts secrets in the main god space, he has been dedicated to practicing "The Seventh Level of Ice and Fire" for thirty years, and has been immersed for a longer time than Wang Zongchao. He must have his own unique experience, and it can benefit Wang Zongchao a lot after communicating. Therefore, Wang Zongchao also planned to hand over "The Great Transfer of the Universe" and "Immortal Seal" to Jing Lin for details to see what surprising gains this "Wudang Sword Immortal" combined with the essence of Tai Chi sword can produce.
He has always been a weakness in swordsmanship, but he has certain points in common with swordsmanship to a certain extent, which can be verified by each other. The next task is "Fengyun", which can almost be said to be the mainstream martial arts in that world. He also wants to learn some swordsmanship and make preparations early.
Then Wang Zongchao asked the Grand Marshal again: "I am determined to knock out a group of elite masters in the *** people, but I don't know if it's better to come directly to the door or lead the snake out of the hole. You should make an idea!"
"To be ashamed, I don't know the details of the assassination group of the *** people. Instead, they are much clearer about my every move." The general shook his head helplessly: "Now the Kwantung Army still has several legal garrisons in my northeastern territory, following the treaty of the former Qing Dynasty. Although I have introduced Soviet Russian forces in recent years, allowing Japan to restrain it and take the opportunity to regain some of its rights and interests, it is not the time to attack them. In addition to lack of strength, I am also afraid that if I really drive away the *** people, I will not be able to balance the Soviet Union's ambitions for my Northeastern. If this strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolves is not careful, I will be eaten without a piece of meat."
"I understand, then I will lead the snake out of the cave. When they come to the door and come to seek death, they will not lose the demise." Wang Zongchao nodded and said. After all, Chen Tun is no longer an ignorant boy many years ago. He is in a high position, so he naturally has corresponding thinking and concerns. He cannot act just by his passion.
"Next month I will go to Peking, that is, the territory of the Zhili warlords." The general thought for a moment and said a plan: "The National Government's Northern Expedition is imminent, and I will cooperate with the Southern Expedition to end the state of China. The major warlords knew that their strength was not enough to compete, so they wanted to unite to negotiate with us to discuss peaceful changes. The matter was of great importance, so I had to go in person. Although the Zhili took Britain and the United States as the backstage, the people in the northeast have not developed well in the past few years, and they have also penetrated other major warlords. They would never hope that China would successfully complete the unification, even if it was just in form.
If I was assassinated on the direct territory during this trip, I would definitely blame the direct line, and would defeat the other party's hope of changing flags, and put China in war, and the Northeast also lost the person in charge. People can fish and meat at will. This is a move of two birds in stone, killing two birds with one stone. People will not do anything, and they will do their best to catch rabbits with lions!"
"That's right. All the matters will be arranged by you. I won't be overwhelming..." Wang Zongchao nodded. He knew that the negotiations with the Communist Party of China in Chongqing were different. In this era, aircraft technology was still relatively limited and basically not used for transportation by politicians. Therefore, if you want to go to Peking, you can only take land, and it is a good time for the *** people to start.
Even though he was confident, he planned to contact Saito and others first for caution.

"Haunted, haunted..."
A series of crisp and rapid sounds of children came from the streets of Gantian Town with a chaotic footsteps, disturbing the quiet morning of this town, and also rushing around the chickens and birds jumping for food in front and behind the streets. Three children in their teens ran all the way on the street, and several adults followed and shouted all the way.
This Gantian Town is like an ordinary town in Hebei, and the transportation is not very convenient. If you go to a large town outside to buy some goods, it will take ten days and a half months to travel. This is why the channels for absorbing external information are relatively closed. Therefore, the simple customs of the people also make people here seek gods and Buddhas for big and small matters, seek divination and divination, and have a strong superstition. When you hear that you are haunted, that's not good. The timid among the people who get up early, hurry to find a way home, and ask their families to keep their homes closed and not go out. The brave ones also followed the three children to the mountain path to find out what they were like.
The three children ran in front, followed by several people, all the way to a small charity village in the mountains. As soon as they arrived in front of the courtyard, the three children shouted: "Master Lin, Master Lin, the town is haunted."
The gate of the courtyard opened with a "creak" sound, and the man in front of him appeared was a man wearing glasses. He was in his thirties and looked gentle and kind, but he looked a bit like a private school teacher in the town. He said, "The master has gone out. But what's the point? I can do it for him, so I don't have to work with him anymore."
Everyone was disappointed. They all knew that the man's surname was Qi and had studied abroad in the West. It seemed that he came to Master Lin to learn Taoism only because he wanted to "promote Taoist culture". He never saw him do anything to subdue demons and eliminate demons. It seemed that he was just an ordinary cultural person.
Someone gave up. The man saw it and just smiled in his heart. He said, "It seems that you are a little restless. I am shocked by my talisman."
After saying that, he stretched out his left hand, raised his two fingers in the middle of the food, and drew in the air. A thin light green light appeared on his fingertips. He turned up and down, and in a blink of an eye, a rune book was scattered. He just scattered in the air, sprinkled with clear light, and the fragrance was everywhere, which made everyone feel refreshed, relaxed and happy, and full of energy. All fear and panic were wiped out.
"It turns out that a famous teacher is a good disciple, Master Qi asks you!" This move suddenly made everyone's confidence in him greatly, and his attitude changed greatly with one hundred and eighty degrees. He became arrogant at first and then respectful. A group of people surrounded the man to the "haunted" location.
This man was naturally Saito Ichi, and he said, "A little bit of spiritual light is a talisman, and people in the world mistakenly recognize Zhu Hemo." At this time, he could no longer use cinnabar talisman paper and set up talismans in the void, which shows that his cultivation has made progress.
He learned from Taoist Yimei, but Taoist Yimei was not a worldly master who lived in the mountains for a long time and was not a worldly master. On the contrary, his journey was to enter the world and practice. He often walked around the world and found a place where evil spirits appeared. He lived under a pseudonym for several years, drove away evil spirits and eliminated ghosts, and improved Feng Shui. During this period, he would also accept one or two disciples, and pass on some magic according to his qualifications. When the evil demons were eliminated, he would leave. The pseudonym used was "Yimei" or "Uncle Jiu", "Master Mao" and "Master Lin". If it were not for the Maoshan Gate contact with special talismans, it would be difficult to find out his whereabouts. This time, he had not been able to meet Yimei. It was just that this time he came back less than a month after he left the world last time. He knew that Yimei had not changed his previous residence, so he stayed at the bottom of the master.
Locals all know that Master Lin likes quietness. If there is no major event, no one will come to disturb him. It seems that there must be something big. He knew that this was an opportunity to experience, so he took on this matter.
As soon as he asked, he realized that in just one night, two people died in the town, two were dying and one was half dead. The whole thing was extremely strange.
Last night, Li Erlen, a second-rate man in the town who usually likes to tease women, suddenly seemed to be evil when walking on the riverside with two fox friends. He said that a beautiful woman in red clothes fell into the water in the river. After saying that, he didn't even care about taking off her shirt, so he rushed into the water. The two fox friends clearly saw that there was not a duck or a geese on the water, but they just said that he was joking, and they just looked at it with a smile on the shore. Unexpectedly, after a while, Li Erlen, who was originally good in water, did not see him floating up. Then he realized that something was wrong, and quickly called for help and went into the water to save the person, but he could not catch anyone from a mere river until dawn.
Next was a man named Ma Cai. He usually likes to bet and often stays at night. When he passed by a remote alley from the gambling house that night, he felt a little gloomy and terrified around him. When he was walking down, he suddenly heard a strange laugh. His hair all over his body stood up and he was frightened. When he looked up, he saw a red dress hanging under the eaves next to him, and he was wearing a white face.
Xue, each with a bright red circle painted on each face, was like a paper man for funerals. Its lips were red and weird, and she was like wearing a red dress hanging under the eaves, swaying in the wind. She grinned at Ma Cai. Ma Cai was so scared that she screamed and ran home desperately. She was already in a state of dismay when she got home. She told her family that she fell on the kang after passing by and never woke up again.
When it was dawn, people who got up early found that Huang Ergou, who was addicted to alcohol and often drank on the street, died on the street, and his blood was lost all over his body, and he died of roasted death. His skin was dry and falling off, but the muscles and fascia of his body did not have the slightest dry and scorchy color, and even his hair and eyebrows were intact.
"It turned out to be scared and lost his soul... No, it was the soul that was captured."
After all, the people who are still alive are the most important. Saito Ichiro took the lead to Ma Cai’s house to observe his situation. He found that his seven souls had dispersed and his three souls had left. But when he tried to repel his soul, there was no movement, and it was obvious that his soul was imprisoned. In this way, even if this person could hold his life away, he could only be a vegetative person for life.
Then he looked at Huang Ergou's corpse, and no external injuries were found on him, and it didn't seem like a vampire or zombie's poison. Then he came to Li Erlen's place where he fell into the water, and there was no use to discover it. He even asked others to avoid it for the time being, and used a corpse-expressing technique to make the corpse in the water jump up by itself, but there was no reaction. It was obvious that the corpse was no longer in the river.
"There was no corpse energy, hostility, resentment... it was not an idle resentful ghost or corpse monster. It was like a curse of subduing magic... But where is the person or medium of casting the magic?" Saito was confused for a moment. Although the caster's skill was not necessarily above him, the spell used was better than the mystery, which was difficult to detect and prevent. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly had an idea: "No matter how no trace is left, there will be causal connection!"
So he burned a talisman and informed Zhu Wen, who was also living in the charity village, to come over.
