When Shen Lang took Bai Shishi down the mountain, the sky was already dark.
Even though the official road at the foot of the mountain is flat and spacious, and the moonlight is still bright tonight, after walking for a while, Bai Shishi couldn't help but shout:
"Do we really have to rush to Fucheng all night? It's more than thirty miles away from Fucheng. I can't use Qinggong now, and my legs and feet don't have much strength. I'm afraid I won't be able to see the city wall until dawn. It's better to rest overnight and wait for tomorrow morning.
Let’s go on our way again.”
Shen Lang stopped, thought for a while, and said:
"Is there a place to stay nearby?"
Bai Shishi smiled jokingly:
"There is a Zhuangzi nearby. But if you, a young monk, bring me a beautiful woman to stay here, aren't you afraid of being misunderstood as a flower monk?"
Shen Lang smiled:
"The young monk has a clear conscience and is not afraid of misunderstandings."
Bai Shishi curled her lips:
"Then go ahead."
Raise your hand and point forward:
"Go forward half a mile, and there is a fork on the left side of the official road. Follow that fork and walk up the mountain road for two miles, and you will see the village."
Shen Lang said: "Then Zhuangzi shouldn't be your stronghold, right?"
Bai Shishi sneered:
"It's okay if you don't dare to go. There's nothing wrong with sleeping outdoors."
Shen Lang frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said:
"Okay, let's sleep outdoors."
"..."
Bai Shishi's mouth twitched slightly and she was speechless for a while, then she said depressedly:
"Don't worry, that's not our stronghold, it's just a village belonging to a rural landowner."
Shen Lang shook his head:
"It's better not to go. If your sisters come to rescue you at night, a fight may involve innocent people."
With that said, he walked towards the woods on the roadside.
Bai Shishi raised her hand and scratched her hair, and said somewhat frantically:
"Then give me the antidote and restore my skills! Otherwise, there are so many mosquitoes in the wild. If I sleep in the open all night, I'm afraid I will be bitten into a toad!"
Shen Lang didn't look back and said with a smile:
"You are a spider, how can you be afraid of mosquitoes? Aren't mosquitoes supposed to avoid you? Follow me quickly, or the monk will send a rabbit to help you leap into the air."
Help me leap into the air?
Did he kick me into the woods?
Bai Shishi curled her lips and swore, rolled her eyes angrily, and hurriedly followed Shen Lang into the woods.
Shen Lang found a clearing in the forest, brought a flat stone, spread it with linen cloth, took off the sword from his back, placed it leaning against the big stone, and then said to Bai Shishi:
"The young monk heard the sound of the stream. There should be a stream not far over there. Donor Bai, if you want to be more convenient, you can go to the stream to solve the problem yourself."
Bai Shishi raised her eyebrows and said provocatively:
"I will also take a bath in the stream. Little monk, have you ever thought about women? Have you ever seen a woman's body? Do you want to take a bath with your sister?"
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"Donor, please don't waste your efforts. Honey traps are of no use to young monks. Besides, don't you like girls?"
Bai Shishi snorted coldly:
"What's the use of raising birds, smelly monk? It's better to cut them off!"
Throwing his hand, he walked towards the stream. Between the opening and closing of the hem of the split gown, two slender, straight white legs appeared and disappeared in the moonlight, showing a bit of temptation.
Shen Lang looked at her swaying back and reminded:
"Donor Bai, Little Tutu is staring at you, don't even think about escaping."
Bai Shishi hummed twice:
"I'm not that stupid, I still want to live a few more days!"
After watching her go to the creek, Shen Lang sat down on a stone, took out a few meat pancakes from his arms, and started to devour them.
By the time Bai Shishi was clean and came back with long wet hair, Shen Lang had already devoured ten half-pound meat-filled pancakes and drank a jar of rice wine.
Bai Shishi saw the cake crumbs scattered on Shen Lang's front at a glance: "Have you eaten?"
"Well, I ate some dry food." Shen Lang took out two white flour steamed buns and said, "Donor, do you want some too?"
Bai Shishi went over to take the steamed buns and lightly shrugged her nose:
"I seem to smell the smell of meat? And the smell of wine?"
She stared at Shen Lang and said suspiciously:
"Little monk, have you eaten meat and drank wine?"
"No." Shen Lang said calmly: "The young monk just ate some grass indirectly and drank some juice after fermentation of grain."
Bai Shishi was slightly startled. When she wanted to understand the meaning of Shen Lang's words, her head was covered with black lines and her face was speechless.
The way this little evil monk opens his eyes and tells lies is exactly the same as that of a murderous Arhat, and he cannot be offended!
Bai Shishi didn't dare to ask him for wine or meat, so she walked aside with the steamed bun, sat under a big tree, tore the steamed bun into small pieces, and ate silently.
Shen Lang closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the stone to meditate.
The little rabbit lay on his knees, with its ears pressed against its back and its ruby eyes staring intently at Bai Shishi.
Although the rabbit's eyes were watery and beautiful, and its eyes were clear and soft, Bai Shishi shuddered a little when she thought of the situation when it kicked Du Qianqian to death. She quickly sat sideways, avoiding the rabbit's sight, and did not dare to look at it.
.
Shen Lang, who was meditating with his eyes closed, seemed to see her uneasy look and said slowly:
"Donor, don't be afraid. My rabbit is different from the little skeleton. It is peaceful, quiet and elegant in nature, and it is not easy to kill. As long as you don't mess around, it will not kill you. Besides, you are not only an accomplice of the devil, but also a secret agent of the Killing God.
The murderer, I have to hand you over to the God's Catcher Hall for punishment, I won't kill you easily."
Bai Shishi snorted coldly:
"It's a joke. I, Bai Shishi, am a well-known bounty killer in the black market. I have killed no less than ten fifth-level masters and two fourth-level warriors. How can I be afraid of a little rabbit? It killed my fifth sister before.
It was just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and it succeeded in a sneak attack. If we really have to fight face to face, I don't believe it can beat my fifth sister."
Shen Lang said leisurely:
"When the donor killed those two fourth-level warriors, did you have your sisters to help? I'm afraid you couldn't have done it on your own. But the donor said he wasn't afraid, so that means you're not afraid. After eating the steamed buns, the donor can rest peacefully.
, there is a little rabbit keeping watch, it’s very safe here. The monk is going to meditate, please help yourself.”
After saying that, he remained motionless, and his breathing became vague and continuous, as if he was completely immersed in a meditative state.
"This little evil monk is so brave. He actually dares to meditate and practice in the wild!"
Bai Shishi narrowed her eyes slightly and thought to herself:
"My sisters may come to save me at any time. Does he really believe in that little rabbit? Or does he have some conspiracy and is just waiting for my sisters to come and trap me?"
Thinking of how she and Du Qianqian fell into the hands of Shen Lang one after another, Bai Shishi couldn't help but worry about her sisters.
If they attack at night, God knows what kind of trap they will run into.
"No, I have to give my sisters a heads up."
Bai Shishi stood up and was about to slip out of the forest and leave a warning signal when she saw the little rabbit standing up from Shen Lang's lap, with its ears perked up and staring at her with bright eyes.
Bai Shishi felt a sudden change in her heart. She didn't dare to act rashly anymore and sat back honestly.
The little rabbit then closed its eyes, put its ears on its back, and lay quietly on Shen Lang's lap.
"Don't come! Don't act rashly!"
Unable to leave a warning message outside the forest, Bai Shishi could only pray in her heart, hoping that the sisters would be more alert and never be as careless as she and Du Qianqian were.
Worried in her heart, she was bitten by mosquitoes, and her clothes were too thin to cover her. Bai Shishi couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
I don't know how long I stayed up, but I finally felt a little sleepy. When I was about to fall asleep while sitting under a tree, there was a faint sound of horse hooves outside the forest, which woke Bai Shishi up.
She listened for a while and found that the sound of horse hooves had stopped outside the forest.
Then there were the sounds of deliberately heavy footsteps, accompanied by the sound of stepping on weeds, heading this way.
Bai Shishi thought that none of her sisters were so reckless. If her sisters had not come to save her, maybe some wanderer walking at night would also plan to sleep here.
But since we have horses, we can reach Fucheng in half an hour at most, so why sleep in the wild?
I'm afraid the person coming is not a serious person.
Just when I was guessing where the person came from, the sound of footsteps broke into the forest clearing.
Bai Shishi looked through the moonlight and saw that the person who came was a majestic middle-aged man in brocade robes with gray hair and carrying a nine-ringed sword. He looked about forty or fifty years old.
"It turns out to be him!"
By coincidence, Bai Shishi, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, happened to know him because he was Du Qianqian's father, Du Baisheng, the martial arts tycoon of Luling Prefecture!
"He is here to avenge Fifth Sister!"
Seeing Du Baisheng carrying a big knife, his eyes bloodshot, and rushing towards him with murderous intent, Bai Shishi did not see the surprise in her eyes that reinforcements were coming, but instead sighed in her heart:
"Du Baisheng's martial arts skills are not as good as those of me and Fifth Sister, so why should we seek revenge?"
Du Baisheng, a martial arts tycoon, actually has just that kind of martial arts. He has a fifth-grade cultivation level, but among the fifth-grades, he is considered to be quite mediocre.
The reason why he is known as the "big man" in the Luling martial arts world is because he is generous and loyal, good at communication, has a wide network of contacts, has many friends, has a great face, and is comfortable in both black and white. In this part of Luling Prefecture, many things do not require
If you do it, you can settle it just by relying on face.
But when it came to a life and death fight, Bai Shishi felt that with just a few blows of Du Baisheng's sword, it would be difficult to defeat the young monk Fa Hai.
"This must be the work of the fourth sister. She used the body of the fifth sister to inspire Du Baisheng to come for revenge, and used him as cannon fodder to find out the little monk's background. But with Du Baisheng's skills, why should he find out the little monk's background? If he is a friend.
Call friends, call a bunch of martial arts friends to come and help, that’s pretty much it.”
But looking at Du Baisheng's appearance, it was obvious that as soon as he saw Du Qianqian's body, he completely lost his mind. He didn't even have time to summon his friends in the world, so he mounted his horse with a sword in full fury and came over alone.
Or maybe he just wants to kill his female enemy with his own hands and doesn't want to use his hands on others?
Bai Shishi was secretly guessing.
Du Baisheng's bloodshot eyes only glanced at Bai Shishi casually, and then didn't look at her again. He just stared at Shen Lang, gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Monk, but you killed my daughter Du Qianqian?"
Shen Lang opened his eyes and looked at Du Baisheng:
"Your Excellency, you are the 'Big Sword' Du Baisheng Du Donor?"
Du Baisheng pointed his broadsword at Shen Lang and shouted:
"Stop talking nonsense! Did you kill my daughter Du Qianqian?"
Shen Lang sighed and looked at Du Baisheng:
"Donor Du, do you know what your concubine has done? She sacrificed human blood to the devil in exchange for various benefits such as martial arts and secret skills. Worshiping the devil is a grave sin, let alone doing such cruel things as human blood sacrifice? Du
donor……"
"Of course I know what my daughter has done!" Du Baisheng interrupted Shen Lang abruptly: "But even so, you shouldn't kill her!"
Shen Lang was stunned:
"Donor Du, you...actually know what your concubine has done?"
Du Baisheng gritted his teeth and said bitterly:
"So what if you know? Qianqian has been fond of martial arts since she was a child. She was born with weak meridians and could not develop her internal strength throughout her life. For this reason, she was depressed all day long and rarely smiled once a year. Do you know that as a father, I see
Do you feel so tormented and painful when your daughter is like that?
"Finally, I have found a way to develop profound inner strength and even reach the realm of true energy. Qianqian can finally be happy and laugh every day. It's too late for me, a father, to be happy. Do I have to stop her and let her
Will we go back to the old days?"
Shen Lang frowned and said:
"But she got it in exchange for a human blood sacrifice. How many innocent people..."
Du Baisheng roared:
"How many others die, what does it have to do with me? I only know that you killed my only daughter! Demon monk, today I swear to chop off your dog's head and sacrifice my good daughter!"
Shen Lang took a deep breath.
He stood up straight, raised his sword, and said slowly:
"The young monk expresses his deep regret for killing the beloved daughter of Benefactor Du. He is infinitely happy for killing a witch who killed innocent people and sacrificed her blood to the devil. As a father, Benefactor Du avenges his daughter. It is natural and blameless. But the young monk will not sit back and wait for death."
He held the scabbard of the sword in his left hand, stepped forward with his right leg in a lunge posture, and at the same time leaned his upper body forward, slightly to the left, placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, lowered his eyebrows slightly, and said softly:
"The young monk is willing to fight Master Du to the death with one sword to settle this feud."
Du Baisheng is nicknamed "Big Sword", so his sword skills must be excellent. His realm is also at the fifth level. If Shen Lang had used his bare hands, it would be difficult to defeat him.
After all, although Shen Lang is very talented in unarmed kung fu, he has only been practicing Buddhism's secret martial arts for a short time. He has only fully understood the secrets of various unique moves and techniques, and can only be used in head-to-head fist and palm confrontations.
, exerting the power of various Buddhist secret weapons.
In terms of moves, especially the various exquisite moves that are yin and yang on the outside, hard, soft, and empty, he has no time to practice and master them.
Therefore, if you only use martial arts and really want to compete with moves and operations, don't say "empty-handed". Even if the enemy is unarmed, it will be difficult for him to defeat those masters with superb martial arts skills and rich experience.
Martial arts moves are designed to exert force more efficiently and hit the opponent more effectively.
If your moves are not as good as others, no matter how powerful you are, it will be difficult to hit the enemy. Just like an angry bull, no matter how hard you exert yourself, you will only be tricked by a skilled matador and eventually fall under the sword of the matador.
And if the moves are exquisite and can overwhelm the opponent, then even if the skill is weaker, you can still hit the enemy frequently while ensuring that you are not hit by the moves, and accumulate small victories into big victories.
Therefore, when Shen Lang fought against the enemy before, he always liked to use his magic shield, relying on various armors to attack the enemy's attacks, and then kill the enemy head-on. Or he would use spells to control him first, and then go forward and shoot or kill the enemy with martial arts.
Now, he is afraid that his identity will be exposed and does not dare to use magic easily, but he will also find ways to lure enemies into a head-on confrontation with him.
At this moment, he chose to use the sword, and made it clear that he would fight Du Baisheng to the death with one sword, and to settle the grudge, he not only used his own advantages, but also fulfilled Du Baisheng's wishes.
Du Baisheng held the nine-ringed sword with both hands, raised it high above his head, and shouted with twitching eyes:
"Then come on! Decide life and death with one move and end the grudge!"
Bai Shishi's eyes widened and she held her breath, staring closely at Shen Lang and Du Baisheng, who were ten steps away and facing each other in the distance.
Although her power was temporarily eliminated by the "Hua Gong Powder", her eyesight was still there and her perception of Qi movement was still there.
In her eyes, Du Baisheng's Qi was like a dark thundercloud, surging with violent thunder and containing ferocious murderous intent.
When the lightning flashes and the thunder booms, Du Baisheng will definitely strike out with a killing blow that resembles the wrath of thunder.
"Du Baisheng's martial arts skills are not as good as those of Fifth Sister and I, but now he attacks with anger and uses hatred to activate his sword intent. His momentum has actually increased to such a level. Even I don't dare to take his prepared sword attack face to face!"
Du Baisheng's momentum made Bai Shishi feel terrible.
However, Shen Lang's energy was so strong that it made her tremble.
At this moment, she only felt that Shen Lang's Qi was constantly collapsing and compressing inward. As his Qi became more compressed and condensed, Bai Shishi felt as if he had turned into an active volcano that was about to erupt. The air was trembling slightly, as if it was gradually unable to withstand the majestic pressure that was getting stronger and stronger, and was about to crack the earth and collapse the mountains.
"Is this the sword's clear heart, the Prajna Wisdom Sword? But this has nothing to do with the word 'wisdom'! It's clearly like a volcanic eruption, with the momentum of landslides and earth-shattering!
"The qi energy when accumulating power alone is more terrifying than his palm skills! Once it breaks out... it will be a shocking blow! The little monk really did not lie, his sword skills are indeed stronger than his palm skills!"
Bai Shishi's heart trembled, she unconsciously clenched her fists, bit her lips, and stared at the field intently.
Suddenly, Du Baisheng moved first.
He shouted loudly, strode forward, charged savagely, and slashed down with the sword held high above his head, creating a thunder-like light of the sword, giving people the feeling of being invincible and cutting everything.
When the blade broke through the air, the internal force also exploded on the blade, pushing away the air and making an explosion like a thunderbolt from the blue.
Just as Du Baisheng rushed out with the knife.
The soles of Shen Lang's front feet also violently cracked the ground, causing mud to fly and the ground to tremble. It was like a cannonball coming out of the barrel or lava erupting from a volcano crater, rushing out against the thunderous sword light.
Then he drew his sword out of its sheath, and amidst Qingyue's long sword cry, he slashed with his sword horizontally.
One kill in ten steps, Bai Hong penetrates the sun for the second strike.
cut!
Zheng——
The piercing sound of the sword made Bai Shishi's eardrums sting as she had no internal protection. Her mind was buzzing, and she couldn't help but raise her hands to cover her ears.
And as Shen Lang unsheathed his sword, a bright sword light that was more dazzling than thunder poured out like an avalanche, instantly filling her field of vision and blurring her vision. There was only a vast expanse of white in her field of vision. I couldn't see anything else clearly, even tears were streaming down my face.
When the white light that filled his eyes dissipated and his tearful eyes barely recovered their vision, Shen Lang and Du Baisheng had already passed each other, ten steps apart, standing with their backs to each other.
Du Baisheng held the knife in both hands and touched the ground with the blade. On the ground, there seemed to be a smooth crack that was more than three feet long and unknown how deep. Wherever the crack passed, no matter whether it was a big tree or a solid rock, it was split into two.
.
But Shen Lang had already returned the sword to its sheath, and Yun Danfeng stood upright without any abnormality in front of him.
Suddenly, a bloodstain slowly appeared on the side of Du Baisheng's neck, and then there was a loud sound, and a shrill mist of blood spurted out.
Du Baisheng's burly body shook, raised his left hand, covered the wound on the side of his neck, and spoke with difficulty:
"As a father, I can neither make my daughter happy nor bring her to the right path. I am incompetent... I know that she killed innocent people and sacrificed her blood to the devil... I don't have the courage to kill her relatives in a righteous way. Instead, I cover up for her, and even kill people to silence them... I am shameless
.I, a person who is incompetent, shameless, a collaborator, and deceives the world and steals his reputation, should have died long ago...
"In the past few years, I have been suffering a lot and have never had a good night's sleep. Today... I can finally get some sleep... Zen Master Fahai, Luling Chamber of Commerce... Yunwei, the daughter of the chairman of the Luling Chamber of Commerce... has been with Qianqian for the past five years...
The relationship is very close, I suspect that she is too..."
As soon as he said this, Du Baisheng's words suddenly stopped and he died of anger.
It was only then that Bai Shishi suddenly realized why she did not call on her friends and gather a large number of experts to surround and kill Fa Hai, but instead came alone because of Du Baisheng's connections.
