At noon the next day, in Luling Fucheng, Laihong Restaurant.
Shen Lang was dressed in brocade, with a jade belt around his waist, holding a sandalwood folding fan, and a gold-inlaid jade ring on his thumb. He had flamboyant eight-claw crab bangs. Not only did he dress like a dandy, he also looked like he was drunk.
He is pale, has thick dark circles under his eyes, and big bags under his eyes, and looks like a master of time management.
Obviously, he used the "Appearance of All Living Beings" spell to completely change his appearance and hide his true colors.
Because the city of Luling has been pasted up with a government sign, and a sea arrest document is in pursuit of "Monk Fa Hai".
Not only are the noticeboards in front of several city gates posted with arrest documents, but markets, restaurants, brothels, casinos and other places with high traffic in the city are also covered with wanted posters offering rewards.
For example, in the Laihong Restaurant in front of Shen Lang, there was a wanted notice hanging on the notice board next to the door.
The portrait on the wanted poster certainly looks like "Monk Fa Hai".
Don't tell me, it really looks like Shen Lang when he made up as a monk before.
In addition to the pictures, there are also detailed text descriptions.
It includes his name, approximate age, height, body type, martial arts, weapons, and even a description of the little rabbit, as well as Zhang Mengmeng’s rabbit portrait.
The charges are exaggerated:
They raped and killed Du Qianqian, Du Baisheng, so-and-so, so-and-so, and four other official government agents. They raped and killed so-and-so, so-and-so... There was a long list of names behind them, and there were dozens of people.
This obviously caused other headless eucalyptus to fall on "Monk Fa Hai".
There is a high probability that even those dozens of victims are the victims of the seven spider sisters' blood sacrifice to the demon god.
When Shen Lang stood by the door of the restaurant, reading the reward notice with gusto.
She was also blessed with the "Appearance of All Living Beings" spell, which adjusted her facial features, height and body shape, making her completely different from her original appearance. She also changed into a conservative emerald green shirt, dressed as a maid.
Bai Shishi whispered from the side:
"You're not angry at all for such an obvious frame-up?"
Shen Lang smiled and unfolded the folding fan with a swish. He saw "empty" written on the front and "lonely" written on the back. There was also a missing word "cold" and there was no room to write it, so he simply carved a row of "" on the fan bones densely.
The word "cold".
Shen Lang waved the folding fan lightly, walked towards the door of the restaurant, and said calmly:
"The one who is wanted is 'Monk Fahai', and the one who is framed is also Fahai. What does it have to do with me, 'Young Master Kong'?"
Looking at his exaggerated appearance, Bai Shishi couldn't help but look cold, shrank her neck, raised her hands and rubbed her arms:
"Your name is quite bad. Young Master Kong, ha, look at your appearance now, it is indeed quite false..."
Shen Lang turned back and glared at her:
"You witch, don't think I can't hear you hinting at me!"
Bai Shishi's eyes widened in surprise:
"How can you understand my hint? Aren't you an honest monk who is not close to women and whose raising birds is useless?"
The corner of Shen Lang's mouth twitched twice, and he was too lazy to talk to the witch. He threw a few coins to the waiter who came towards him with a smile on his face:
"Are there any private rooms? If so, find a private room facing the street for me."
"Okay, sir, please..."
The waiter followed the waiter up to the third floor of the restaurant, sat down in a private room by the window facing the street, and ordered a table of good wine and food. After the wine and food were served, the waiter exited the private room, Shen Lang picked up the kuaizi, and picked up a piece of braised pork ribs.
Chew it loudly.
Bai Shishi sat opposite him. She had just picked up the kuaizi, but before she started, Shen Lang was already eating several large pieces of braised pork ribs, and even took the time to drink a glass of wine...
Bai Shishi couldn't help but joked:
"Are you eating grass indirectly again and drinking the juice from fermented grain?"
Shen Lang's expression did not change:
"I am now Young Master Kong, and I can eat whatever I want."
"You are a fake monk. You are clearly a member of the Wild Fox Zen, and you are offering sacrifices to the Five Internal Organs Temple. You kill people without blinking an eye... I really don't know why Venerable Liuli values you so much..."
Shen Lang laughed:
"Of course it's because I am so dashing."
Bai Shishi curled her lips:
"The way you look now has nothing to do with being chic."
In the time it took to say these few words, Shen Lang had almost finished the entire plate of braised pork ribs, and talking did not slow him down at all.
Bai Shishi hurriedly stretched her arms and grabbed a piece of braised pork ribs before Shen Lang cleared up the dishes, and ate them in small bites.
When he was done eating and drinking, Shen Lang gradually slowed down and said while slowly drinking:
"On the way to Fucheng today, you performed pretty well. Even after entering the city, you never did anything or left any secret codes. You can barely be considered as actively cooperating with my investigation and you have performed meritorious service."
After hearing what he said, Bai Shishi stiffened slightly, raised her glass and took a sip to moisten her dry throat, and said calmly:
"You know I once left a secret code?"
Shen Lang nodded:
"When you went down the mountain yesterday, you left secret signals along the way. Although I never looked back, I knew everything clearly."
Bai Shishi hummed softly:
"Since you know it, why don't you expose it on the spot?"
Shen Lang smiled:
“If you want to fish, of course you have to build a nest and set up bait.
"Originally, I wanted to fish your sisters out and defeat them one by one while they were rescuing you.
"I didn't expect that I had to use sneak attacks, secret calculations and other means to defeat and kill the fifth-grade great warriors. I was far from the opponent of the fourth-grade warriors, but they still endured their temper and only sent cannon fodder to come.
Attack me, and even try to use the power of the government to drive me away...
"Miss Bai, your sisters don't seem to think much of you. They act like this without seeming to have considered that if I am forced into desperation, I will probably kill you first. Your safety, in their eyes, seems to be
it is not important.
"And Du Baisheng, as the father of Du Qianqian, was used as cannon fodder, forcing him to come to test my true identity...Miss Bai, it seems that the friendship between the seven spider sisters is not very strong."
Bai Shishi pursed her lips lightly and said calmly:
"My Lord's idea is that all living beings compete for the earth, the strong plunder everything, and the weak become blood food.
"When I fell into your hands, I was defeated once and indirectly killed the fifth sister. It can be said that I was defeated again and again. I have been defeated twice in a row. I am already a 'weak'. Even if the sisters give up on me completely, it is in line with me.
Main idea.
"What's more, they didn't give up on me completely, but still tried to save me. If you didn't dare to resist the Yamen police last night, I would have been saved.
"As for the fifth sister's father... According to my Lord's concept, what does the fifth sister's father have to do with my sisters? Don't say that my other sisters are the fifth sister herself. If necessary, she
She would not hesitate to use her father as cannon fodder to fill ditches."
Shen Lang sighed:
"Such a concept has no humanity at all. Even some animals know how to be grateful for their upbringing and feed their parents in return. Your Lord taught you to abandon human relations and become worse than animals. He is not a righteous god at all."
Bai Shishi slapped Kuaizi on the table, raised her brows, stared, and opened her lips slightly. She instinctively wanted to debate the scriptures and defend her beliefs.
But when the words came to her lips, somehow, thinking of Du Baisheng's expression and words before his death, her heart suddenly trembled.
At this time, Shen Lang said quietly again:
"Miss Bai, your sisters only want to deal with me, but they completely ignore your safety. Do you really have no resentment at all about this?
"Don't say that the police officers last night were just an attempt to save you. Those police officers were vulnerable to me. Don't your sisters have any idea about this?
"With the brain of your 'talented' fourth sister, doesn't she even understand the principle of 'thinking about defeat before thinking about victory'? Hasn't she ever imagined that I might resist?"
Bai Shishi reluctantly argued:
"But if you resist, you will end up being wanted with a bounty on your head, making it difficult to move forward. If you hadn't met Lord Liuli and given you a token of blessing with a spell, you wouldn't even be able to enter the city..."
Shen Lang nodded:
"Yes, this was originally their design. Therefore, they had long thought that I would resist, so they just took advantage of the situation and used the power of the government to drive me away.
"But this design seems to have ignored you. It has ignored the irritation of me, the evil monk who kills people and breaks the precepts. After that, the evil monk will probably vent his anger on you, torture you, humiliate you, or even kill you.
"Do you think they didn't think of it, or they ignored it on purpose?
"Speaking of which, in the scene last night, none of your sisters showed up. I placed all my hopes of rescuing you on a group of police officers whose martial arts skills are far inferior to mine. Isn't this unjustifiable?"
Bai Shishi said weakly:
"I, I am not afraid of death... none of us seven sisters are afraid of death..."
Shen Lang chuckled and said leisurely:
"Of course I know Miss Bai that you are not afraid of death. Perhaps your sisters don't think much about your life or death because of this?"
"But you have to know that after your death, the destination of your soul may not be to be with God and serve God forever. A demon who advocates the law of the jungle and teaches you to abandon human nature and human relations. Miss Bai, think about it for yourself. She is really
Would you be so kind?"
Hearing these words, Bai Shishi's heart trembled, and she remembered what Shen Lang said yesterday:
Your soul is just the devil’s food...
During his lifetime, he was to be the cannon fodder of the Demon God and was driven and used by her. After his death, his soul also had to be the Demon God's consumables and nourishment to help her live forever...
In the past, Shen Lang's statement could not shake her belief at all, but now...
Her confidence had long been shattered by Shen Lang's three palms.
Du Qianqian's death further exacerbated the collapse of her confidence.
So much so that at that time, she had clearly recovered four or five levels of success, and even if she was defeated by Shen Lang and Rabbit, she still had the possibility of escaping. However, she was still helpless and didn't even try to escape, so she obediently took the "Hua Gong Powder".
Although what collapsed at that time was only her confidence in her own strength, all her strength came from the gift of the devil.
Since she is no longer confident in the strength given by the Demon God, it will naturally affect her belief in the Demon God.
If her faith had not been shaken, then no matter how Shen Lang slandered her Lord, she would have just dismissed it. She should not have argued with him fiercely like yesterday, even giving various examples, which almost leaked the truth.
The true identities of her sisters.
Yesterday's fierce debate on the Bible on Lize Mountain was actually because her belief had been shaken and she had to use that method to consolidate her belief.
At this moment, Shen Lang's words lingered in her ears like magic sounds, constantly impacting her already shaken beliefs, making her eyes blurred, her face confused, and she opened her mouth to argue, but could not say a word.
Come.
"Miss Bai, what's going on here, I can take you to the capital and ask Venerable Liuli or other great masters to wash away the mark of the devil on your soul and cut off your involvement with the devil. Although for your sin,
You may not be able to escape death after all, but at least your soul after death will not become prey for the devil."
Bai Shishi's mouth twitched slightly, and she forced a smile and said:
"Then I really want to thank you."
Shen Langdan said calmly:
"You're welcome. By the way, if I want to find a talented and beautiful woman who is sought after by many literati and warriors, where should I go?"
Bai Shishi was silent for a while, then slowly said:
"Tianxiangshe."
…
Tianxiang Society was originally a poetry club founded by a group of gentry women.
In the beginning, it was just some gentry, local tyrants, and women from official official families, gathering together to recite poems and compose poems. It was an arty informal gathering, and the venue was not fixed.
Later, there was gradually a fixed meeting place and even a "sponsor".
The "Luling Chamber of Commerce" sponsored a garden-style manor by the "Cuixing Lake" on the outskirts of the city to Tianxiang Society, and also sponsored a monthly activity fund.
From then on, the activities of Tianxiang Society were basically held in that manor. When people mentioned "Tianxiang Society", they mostly referred to the lakeside manor.
There is also the "Xiangshan Tea House", the largest tea merchant in Luling Prefecture, which sells tea in several prefectures and even the capital market. It provides Tianxiang Society with all kinds of tea for free all year round.
There is also the No. 1 martial arts sect in Luling Prefecture, "Mingjian Villa", which dispatches elite martial arts disciples all year round to provide free security services to Tianxiang Society.
Some well-known literati in Luling Prefecture often donated calligraphy and paintings for Tianxiang Society to auction and raise funds.
After several years of development, Tianxiangshe has become one of the most elegant places in Luling Prefecture.
Many scholars from other places and even literati from the capital would visit Tianxiang Society when passing through Luling.
Today's Tianxiang Society not only holds literary and poetry gatherings, but also often holds various elegant activities such as painting exhibitions and chess games.
He also promoted several talented women one after another. After becoming famous, they all married their rightful husbands one after another, and in turn helped the development of Tianxiang Society, making Tianxiang Society more prosperous.
Today, the most famous talented woman in Tianxiang Society is named "Yue Ling'er".
His ancestors and father were both well-known scholars in Luling Prefecture. Although he never became an official, he opened an academy and trained several good students. Among them, one of the two most promising students became a government official.
Zun, a man who became a Yuanwailang in the Ministry of Etiquette of the imperial court.
Therefore, even if the Yue family did not have an official position, they were still important noble gentry in Luling Prefecture.
Whenever the successive governors met with major events and convened the village elders to discuss matters, they would always invite the Yue family father and son to be present and solemnly solicit their opinions.
However, Yue Ling'er's ability to become the most famous talented woman in Tianxiang Society did not rely on the reputation of her ancestors and father.
She is indeed very talented. Not only can she write poems and rhymes, but she is also good at chess, music, calligraphy and painting. She also knows how to ride horses and archery. She is praised by literati as a "wonderful woman with both civil and military talents".
She is not only talented but also beautiful, and is known as the most beautiful woman in Luling Prefecture - although it is said that five years ago, her appearance could only be regarded as delicate, but five years ago she was only fourteen years old.
As the saying goes, a woman undergoes a transformation in her eighteenth year.
As girls age, their faces and bodies become longer and more beautiful, which is normal.
Yue Ling'er, who was both talented and beautiful, was not only admired and sought after by literati, but also many young martial arts heroes. They often came to visit Tianxiang Society in the name of exchanging poems.
The more Ling'er became famous, the more people came to visit Tianxiang Society. Gradually, in addition to serious literati and martial arts heroes, some unscrupulous people tried to come to join in the fun, making Tianxiang Society overwhelmed.
No worries, just make some rules:
Literati who want to enter Tianxiangshe Manor must perform their talents. They may point to objects and compose poems, or paint on the spot, or play chess against each other. Only those with acceptable standards can enter.
If a samurai wants to enter, he must perform a unique skill on the spot and be recognized by the disciples of "Mingjian Villa" before he is qualified to enter.
In this way, it blocked many incompetent idlers and greatly improved the quality of visitors to Tianxiang Society.
However, this also created a minor problem for Shen Lang.
By the Tianxing Lake, under the green willow trees.
Shen Lang looked at the lakeside manor not far away, which was full of cars and horses parked in front of the door, and asked Bai Shishi with some embarrassment:
"Do you think it's better for me to act like a scholar or a warrior?"
