Chapter 159: The eminent monk who was caught at the crime scene again
Lantian is about sixty miles away from Chang'an and is located at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. It is the starting point of the Qin-Chu Ancient Road, which is still known as the Shang-Yu Ancient Road. Because it is very close to Chang'an and has beautiful scenery, many Chang'an dignitaries are here. Buy land to build a villa.
Da da da……
A burst of rapid hoofbeats pierced the night sky, and two figures riding horses appeared on the official road from Chang'an to Lantian.
The moonlight shines on the official road, and the surrounding scenery seems to be covered with a layer of silver gauze, making it blurry and unclear.
"Brother..."
The man in the lead tightened the reins of his horse, then looked around and pointed to a road next to him.
"Going further we will reach Lantian County. We have to take this road to bypass the county and then enter Shangyu Road before dawn."
"good!"
The knight behind said without hesitation.
"Then let's take a detour!"
As he spoke, he turned his horse's head without hesitation and rushed towards the road pointed in front. But just as his horse's head had just turned, a gray figure suddenly appeared like a ghost. In front of his horse, he stretched out his hand and grabbed his reins.
Da da da……
The horse that was pulled by the reins continued to stumble backwards on the ground, but it was tightly held in place and could not move forward even a step.
"Grandmaster……"
The person sitting on the horse was startled at first, and then relaxed again after seeing the gray figure.
"What are you doing?"
"You are on the wrong track..."
After the man in gray stopped the horse, he looked around with a wary expression.
"This is not a road at all!"
"Not a road?"
The man on the horse looked around again. Under the silver moonlight, he saw a bright road in front of him, extending straight forward.
"But, a certain person clearly saw..."
"What a powerful illusion!"
The man in gray did not answer the knight's words, but still looked around with a vigilant expression.
The next moment, the man in gray took a light step, and instantly fell directly from one side of the road to the other. The air flow surged around his side. When his steps fell, the shape of the dust under his feet was like a lotus.
"But although you can deceive someone's eyes, you can't deceive someone's heart..."
As he said that, the man in gray smacked his hand forward.
"Break it for me!"
"Hey, why can't you villains die in peace..."
With a long sigh, a Taoist priest in white suddenly appeared in front of the man in gray, with his right hand raised.
boom!
With both palms connected, the remaining energy seemed to turn into a shock wave, spreading in all directions. After the candle on a strange-shaped candle holder bounced twice, it was extinguished by the shock wave.
In an instant, the shadowy scene all around seemed like a popped balloon, disappearing without a trace with a pop, revealing the reality behind the silver gauze.
Only then did the knight on the horse realize that the shimmering silver road in front of him had disappeared, and now in front of him was a deep horse trap.
If the man in gray hadn't grabbed his horse's head just now, I believe he would have jumped directly into the pit on horseback.
He wiped his forehead with some surprise and fear, and then turned his head with a grateful expression.
"Grandmaster……"
Before he finished speaking, he heard the man in gray suddenly stop shouting.
"You two, leave quickly, we are ambushing you!"
Then, the knight heard the sound of clanging gongs, and then dozens of torches suddenly appeared from both sides of the road. Then more than a hundred people poured out from both sides of the road, covering all the people in front and behind them.
Surrounded.
The knight on the horse gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand suddenly, pulled out the long knife from his waist, and shouted at the other knight.
"Botong, I only have one chance of death when I return to Chang'an this time. Now I can only fight with all my might."
Another knight also reached out and pulled out his long sword, and let out a heroic laugh.
"When I was sent to Chang'an by Du Fuwei last year, I was already prepared to die. I've made money by surviving until now. Brother, I'll charge first, you follow me!"
"Still want to leave?"
A man in his thirties, wearing armor, with a face somewhat similar to Ma Sixi from the Princess Mansion, walked out of the crowd with a sneer and waved his hand.
"If this can make you leave, how can I, Ma Sanbao, go to see Sanniangzi and take it down for me!"
"ha!"
The more than a hundred people shouted instantly, raised their sticks and surrounded them.
The man in gray clothes standing on the other side looked at the sudden appearance of more than a hundred people around him, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed on his calm face. He turned his face again and focused on the man in white clothes in front of him.
On the little Taoist priest.
"Isn't this Master Yifan of the Fahua Sect?"
The little Taoist priest in white raised his hand and slapped his head at the man in gray.
"The last time Pindao saw you, you were killing people and silencing them. When Pindao saw you this time, you were helping thieves escape..."
The Taoist priest in white shook his head, with a look of regret on his face.
"It can be seen that you, the thief monks of the Lotus Sect, are already deeply thief in nature. You can't say that you are a poor man, but you can only do justice for heaven!"
"As expected, it's you, Taoist Qingwei!"
Looking at the little Taoist priest opposite, a look of relief appeared in the eyes of the man in gray.
"The poor monk knows that the recent experiences of our Fahua Sect must be related to you..."
Kong Qing glanced at Ma Sanbao, who was directing his men to attack Li Zitong and Lobotong, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
"If you are referring to the fact that your Fahua Sect colluded with Li Zitong and planned to plot rebellion in Jianghuai while Du Fuwei returned to Chang'an, yes, this matter was indeed discovered by Pindao from Kong Ke, who was silenced by you
of……"
As he spoke, Kong Qing pointed his swords towards Monk Yifan.
"In order to conspire against you, the Fahua Sect dared to do evil things to even the imperial officials. As a supervisor of the Taishi Bureau, I will definitely not be able to let go of you and beheaded!"
After a dragon roar, Gu Chen's sword turned into a streak of white light and slashed down on Monk Yifan's body.
After seeing that Kong Qing was still using the flying sword he used when fighting him last time, Monk Yifan clasped his hands together, and with a flash of golden light on his body, he rushed towards the sword light without dodging, as if
He planned to catch Kong Qing in one fell swoop with his flying sword.
Of course, Monk Yifan, who had fought in close combat with Kong Qing, didn't really think he could catch the Taoist priest in white. After all, Kong Qing's slippery movements were still fresh in his mind during the last battle.
He just wanted to rush directly into the crowd, catch Li Zitong and Lobotong, and then use his magic foot power to leave.
It is natural for Monk Yifan to dare to do this.
After all, the last time he fought Kong Qing, Kong Qing's flying sword couldn't even cut away the Vajra Curse on his body. If Kong Qing hadn't been able to make various dodges that defied gravity, I'm afraid he would have won.
.
And now it's only been less than two months since the last battle, and the opponent's strength should still be about the same as back then!
Seeing Monk Yifan not dodging or evading, but planning to fight head-on, the corners of Kong Qing's mouth curled up even higher.
Kong Qing could probably guess Monk Yifan's psychology, but the progress Kong Qing and Gu Chenjian made even if they killed Monk Yifan, I'm afraid he wouldn't have thought of it. As the saying goes, after three days of separation, you should treat each other with admiration...
Pindao will show you today, what the fuck is a surprise!
"cut!"
The sword light fell, like a dragon, and when it landed on Monk Yifan, a layer of golden light appeared on the surface of the monk's skin. Then, without Kong Qing's own control, the sword light transformed by Gu Chen's sword
It scattered on its own, like running water, spiraling around Monk Yifan and seeping in.
"The best good is like water. Water is good for all things and does not compete with it. It is disliked by everyone, so it is close to the Tao."
As soon as the sword light turned, Monk Yifan felt a sudden tingling sensation under his ribs.
"this is……"
Before he could figure out what happened, he heard a soft sound coming from his body.
puff!
The golden light exploded, and the Vajra Curse cast by Monk Yifan actually shattered under the light of Gu Chen Sword, which was like autumn water. He didn't even hold on for three breaths before it shattered.
Whoosh!
Kong Qing then hooked his fingers, and the sword light rushed straight up his body, aiming directly at the opponent's neck.
At this time, Monk Yifan had no time to think about anything, but instinctively wiped one hand on the cloth bag on his waist, opened the other hand, with a golden light glowing between the palms of his fingers, and grabbed it on his body.
The sword light from the side.
Three feet of autumn water collided directly with Monk Yifan's chest and his outstretched palm, making a sound of gold and iron.
Then the sword light circled Monk Yifan's palm, and after a burst of clanging sounds, two golden fingers fell off the palm and fell to the ground.
But at this moment, Monk Yifan's other hand had already taken out a string of rosary beads from the bag.
With a flick of his wrist, the rosary beads flew up and stopped directly in front of Jian Guang. After a jingling sound, he stopped Kong Qing's killing sword that was aimed directly at the opponent's neck.
After the two strikes, the sword light turned into a white light unwillingly and retreated, hovering around Monk Yifan's body, as if planning to attack again at any time.
Monk Yifan's eyebrows trembled a few times, and his heart became cold.
Under his three thousand thoughts, although the little Taoist priest opposite was still like a wall with no feedback, a lively spirit actually penetrated beside him, that is, in the sword light.
consciousness.
A flying sword that has its own sword spirit!
It was obviously not like this the last time I fought him.
Then, from Monk Yifan's chest to his ribs, bright red blood began to seep out of the gray robe.
The sword light transformed by Gu Chen's sword just now seemed to have brushed along Monk Yifan's side, but in fact the sword energy had already scratched the opponent's skin. If Monk Yifan hadn't had profound Buddhist skills and a body as hard as steel, what he had just done would have been
He was disemboweled immediately.
Monk Yifan did not pay attention to the wounds on his body, but as if facing a formidable enemy, after muttering a few words in his mouth, the rosary beads in his hand slowly floated up and surrounded his side, like a
Same as a string of satellites.
"There is such a good thing? Sure enough, you thieves and monks all like to hide a few things..."
Kong Qing looked at this string of rosary beads that, although they looked inconspicuous, could survive the sharp edge of his upgraded Gu Chen Sword without any damage, and he slightly narrowed his eyes.
"It's a pity that you took it out too late...Vilya!"
The next moment, Monk Yifan felt that the air flow in the air instantly turned into an invisible blade and fell from the sky.
