Chapter 9: What is more terrifying than demons is the human heart!
The backyard of Bliss Inn.
In the underground vegetable cellar.
A butter candle illuminates the darkness.
Several masked men wearing black night clothes met here.
They held weapons in hand and were eager to try.
"Second brother, have you heard everything clearly?"
The leader among the masked men said in a deep voice.
"I've found out everything, this little Taoist priest is definitely a fat sheep!"
"This Taoist priest went to Jingya Zhai during the day and spent a lot of money. He bought three large pieces of top-quality jade in one go, spending nearly a thousand taels of silver, without blinking an eye."
"This shows how much he is worth!"
"After finishing this job, it will be enough for the brothers to spend a few years to their heart's content!"
The second child lowered his voice and said excitedly.
"But this little Taoist priest had a night battle with the fox demon last night, and it didn't look like he was going to be easy to deal with!"
"Can we do it with just a few of us?"
Someone said with some worry.
"Wealth is found in danger!"
"Besides, it's not like we haven't killed so-called practitioners before."
"The year before last, an old monk stayed at the inn. That old monk was much more capable than this little Taoist priest."
"The old monk held altars during the day, called for wind and rain, went deep into the mountains and forests at night, and subdued zombies. We have all witnessed this with our own eyes."
"But so what?"
"A bowl of mung bean soup mixed with sweat medicine made him lose consciousness. Then he blew a few puffs of ecstasy smoke in the middle of the night. The old monk couldn't sleep for a long time, so we beheaded him."
"His purple gold alms bowl, gold silk cassock, golden tin staff, and hundreds of taels of silver have all fallen into our hands!"
The leading brother said with disdain:
"Don't forget, I am a third-rate warrior. When someone is unexpected, even a truly accomplished master will become a dead soul under my sword!"
"What's more, we don't fight him head-on. What is our purpose?"
"If you can use your brain, don't use brute force!"
"Lao Liu, are you ready for your special smoke?"
Lao Liu was a thin man. He nodded vigorously:
“Swallowing smoke into your belly can turn a tiger into a pig while sleeping!”
"Brother, just watch it!"
"good!"
"Today our seven brothers from Black Village will fuck him again!"
The elder brother who took the lead said proudly.
…………
Three quarters of a hour.
The front room of the inn.
Jiang Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, his whole body tense. His eyes were filled with spirituality, and he could barely see at night.
This is the effect produced after Jiang Chen guided the vitality of heaven and earth into his eyes!
Around one o'clock in the morning, he heard light footsteps outside the door.
Jiang Chen suddenly trembled, the sleepiness all over his body dissipated, and he held the peach wood sword tightly in his right hand!
He saw that the window paper at the door had been punctured with several holes, and thin bamboo tubes stretched in, and wisps of smoke escaped from the bamboo tubes.
For a moment, the house was filled with smoke. He immediately covered his mouth and nose, then tiptoed to the window, opened a small opening, and then took a big breath.
After a long time.
There was a burst of whispering outside the door.
"alright!"
"With such a large dose of smoke, plus the wine given to him at night with ten times the dose of sweat medicine, even if he can control the wind and rain, the god who breathes clouds and smoke will sleep like a dead pig!"
"Then what if he didn't drink the Menghan medicinal wine?"
"Then... let's wait a little longer. The smoke is more powerful than the sweat medicine. The smoke I used this time was added with Abululu, Caowu, and Datura. It can not only make people fall asleep, but also make people's whole body sleep.
Anesthesia may also produce hallucinogenic effects!”
"Okay, just listen to Lao Liu and wait a minute!"
Jiang Chen, who was breathing heavily at the crack of the window, opened his eyes wide when he heard this.
The voice that came from outside the door just now sounded so familiar. It seemed to be the voice of the owner of the Bliss Inn and the waiter!
"The test on this third night is not a monster or a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!"
"Although the Bliss Inn is located in the county town, I didn't expect it to be a black shop!"
"What is more terrifying than monsters is the human heart!"
At this moment, Jiang Chen seemed to understand the purpose of these three tests.
The first night gave him a preliminary understanding that this world has ghosts, monks, incense and gods. It is a world of immortals and heroes!
On the second night, he witnessed a fox demon eating people's hearts, which made him understand that there are demons in this world, who are cruel and cunning!
This third night also taught him to keep a low profile and not reveal his wealth, because the human heart is more terrifying than monsters and monsters!
"Bliss Inn, haha, does this mean that guests can arrive at Bliss early?"
Jiang Chen sneered in his heart, after experiencing the training of the previous two nights, he is now as stable as an old dog.
After waiting for a long time, a sharp dagger opened the latch of Jiang Chen's door, and then a hand suddenly stretched out to catch the latch that was about to fall, seemingly familiar with the task.
"superior!"
The leader said something in a low voice, and then rushed in with people holding big swords, and several people slashed at the bed.
Afterwards, the elder brother who took the lead pulled off the quilt on the bed and found that Jiang Chen was not there, only a pillow had been deliberately placed under the quilt!
"Are you looking for me?"
Jiang Chen's long voice sounded, and he was seen holding a peach wood sword, stabbing one of the seven people with one sword!
Phew!
Blood splattered everywhere!
Jiang Chen stabbed him to the core with one strike of his sword, and the hot blood splashed onto his body and face, making him slightly stunned!
He actually... killed someone!
"How brave!"
When the leader saw his brother being killed, he immediately shouted and struck Jiang Chen with a simple machete!
Jiang Chen came back to his senses in an instant, and quickly raised his sword to meet him. He stretched and stretched it to remove the force from the sword, and then kicked it out, knocking the leader back a few steps!
"Ideas stick with your hands and shoulder to shoulder!"
The leader said, and the remaining five people raised their weapons to greet Jiang Chen!
Jiang Chen grabbed the mace that was swung at him with his bare hands, slashed it with his sword, and a plume of blood splashed out. The man holding the mace fell down with his throat covered!
Among these seven people, except for the leader who really has martial arts skills, the others are fighting with brute force!
But now that Jiang Chen has embarked on the road, he is stronger and faster than them, and he also has the "Eternal Life Fist", a protective boxing technique, how can they be Jiang Chen's opponent!
After a fight, Jiang Chen killed two more people!
Now the only enemies left in the room are the leader and his two younger brothers!
"Brother!"
"The ideas are pricking your hands, and the wind is blowing hard?!"
One of the younger brothers spoke up.
“Bullshit!“
"His grandma's Guo Da, the labor-capital gust knife, has been traveling around for twenty years. Now my brother is killed, you want me to escape?"
"If I escaped today, how could I still hang out on the green forest road?!"
"Let's go together and avenge our dead brothers!"
The leader, Guo Da, roared, and his two younger brothers rushed toward Jiang Chen with weapons in hand. However, Guo Da turned around and rushed in the opposite direction to Jiang Chen, slammed open the window, and escaped!
"Brother!"
"You lied to me!"
One of the boys said with a sad and angry look.
Puff!
Two streaks of blood splashed out, and Jiang Chen easily killed the two men who had lost their courage and had no intention of fighting with him!
"No one can escape!"
"They all must die!"
Jiang Chen jumped up, jumped out of the window, and landed lightly on the street. He saw the leader limping away!
I saw him taking three steps and two steps at a time, and soon I caught up with him!
