To be honest, since Shen Lang first came into contact with Mu Qingxue, a third-level master, and then successively came into contact with First-level Master Liuli, Yan Tianying, and Zhenren Wanfa, his horizons were raised too high without even realizing it.
So much so that his understanding of his own strength is inevitably a little too low - although my brother is a practitioner of both magic and martial arts, his magic is only at the sixth level, and his martial arts is only at the sixth level. They are still far away from the fourth level, and their levels are too high.
It’s too low!
But in fact, with his comprehensive strength in magic and martial arts, even if he is not a little demon, he is already a strong man who is not afraid of ordinary fourth-level warriors.
Counting the little demon, even a fourth-grade accomplished warrior can fight him.
This kind of strength, in the Divine Catcher Hall, is already considered to be the first echelon below the three third-level Divine Catchers such as Yan Tianying, Wanfa Zhenren, and Mu Qingxue.
"I chose to send you, Xiao Shen, to participate in this investigation. First, because you are familiar with Xiao Mu and have experience in cooperating with investigations. You should be able to cooperate with each other this time. Second, because, Xiao Shen, you have extensive experience in undercover investigations.
Experience, I have full confidence in you in this regard."
"Master Yan, you mean that I am also working as an undercover agent this time?"
"That's right. When Xiaomu disguised himself to save someone and pretended to be captured by mistake, he used secret techniques to find out the true identities of the three kidnappers. During the interrogation, he sent their appearance back. The identity and whereabouts of one of them are known.
Make sure, you go there tonight, use the 'All Living Beings' spell to disguise himself, wait for the opportunity, and break into the kidnapper's lair."
With that said, Yan Tianying handed another portrait to Shen Lang.
When Shen Lang was looking at the portrait, Yan Tianying introduced:
"This man's name is Shen Sanlang. He is twenty-eight years old. He is from Gufeng Prefecture. He lives near the south gate of the outer city of Gufeng Prefecture and runs a noodle shop.
"He is a native of Gufeng. His ancestors have lived in Gufeng Mansion for three generations, and the noodle shop is also a time-honored restaurant. He has a strong family and is willing to give charity. He often gives rice, porridge and steamed buns to homeless beggars...
"In general, on the surface, this man is a good old man. No one even knows that he knows martial arts and has an entry-level fourth-grade cultivation level."
In the portrait, Shen Sanlang has a round face and big earlobes. He looks like a fat and doughy Maitreya Buddha. He looks like a kind-hearted and kind-hearted man.
Just by looking at his face, you really can't tell that he is a member of a kidnapping group that specializes in kidnapping heroines.
"It's actually my family..."
Shen Lang muttered, unfolded the map of Dachu in his mind, quickly located the location of Gu Feng Mansion, and asked:
"Gu Feng Mansion is more than two thousand miles away. Even if Shen Sanlang's face is quite special, if there is no background, no one would even know that he knows martial arts. How can the people of Yi Shen Catching Hall rely on only one portrait?
, so you found him in a short time?”
Yan Tianying smiled:
"I would like to ask Venerable Liuli to take action. Search for the portrait using 'Celestial Eyes' and 'Destiny'."
"Isn't it true that those above the third level of Buddhism are not allowed to interfere with worldly affairs?"
"Since there is an aura of evil spirits, we can reasonably suspect that it is related to the 'Yunding Demon Palace'. This is not a simple secular matter. I can still ask Venerable Liuli to take action in person. Even if the two real people of the royal family know about it,
I have nothing to say."
"Your Excellency asked me to replace that Shen Sanlang tonight, but it's more than two thousand miles away...how should I get there?"
If we take the jade plate flying machine of Master Wanfa, will the target be too big?
Yan Tianying said: "I asked Venerable Liuli for a 'divine walking talisman'."
He took out a jade talisman engraved with the image of Liuli Bodhisattva, "Venus Liuli personally blessed a 'Divine Foot Power', which must be used within twelve hours and can only be used once. However, the limit of the mind's reach is three thousand miles."
Inside, everything is accessible.”
Shen Lang took the pale purple jade talisman and felt that the jade talisman was warm to the touch. It felt exactly the same as his exorcism seal refined from "thousand-year chalcedony". He couldn't help but said in surprise:
"This talisman is also made of thousand-year-old chalcedony?"
Yan Tianying nodded:
"If it weren't for thousands of years of chalcedony, it wouldn't be enough to carry Venerable Liuli's magical power. You don't have to feel sorry. This is just a little leftover after refining the jade seal for exorcism that day. For Venerable Liuli,
, it’s considered waste utilization.”
After a pause, he said solemnly:
"After arriving at Gu Feng Mansion, you have to rely on yourself to adapt to all actions. We must keep an eye on other suspected Da Zhenren and not act rashly. But you can also rest assured that with us watching, there will be no Da Zhenren behind the scenes.
Opportunity to take action myself.”
Shen Lang nodded in agreement, but couldn't help but ask:
"Mother Mu, she... won't be in danger now, right?"
Yan Tianying smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I personally taught Xiaomu Tiangang's fighting spirit. I know best what she is capable of. Besides, she is traveling far away. You don't think that I didn't give her a life-saving treasure, do you?"
Shen Lang thought about it. Mu Qingxue was less than twenty-two years old and already had a third-level cultivation. Masters in the Divine Catching Hall were scarce. For a peerless genius like Mu Qingxue with excellent character and noble heart, Yan Tianying would not be able to do anything.
It cannot be valued enough.
Isn't it different that Shen Lang is highly valued by Yan Tianying because of his youthful chivalry and amazing talent?
Then he bowed his hands to Yan Tianying:
"My subordinates have no doubts. I wonder when we will start taking action?"
Yan Tianying waved his hand:
"Don't worry, it's dinner time now. Shen Sanlang's noodle shop should be busy. You have to wait for more than an hour. After you go to the noodle shop to do business, you can go find him. In addition, Master Wanfa is refining amulets for you.
It will still take a while to finish. You can have a meal here and wait for a while."
Hearing this, Shen Lang suddenly remembered something:
"Master Yan, I don't know how to make noodles. If I take over Shen Sanlang's place to open a noodle shop, will it reveal my secret?"
Yan Tianying smiled confidently:
"Don't worry, we have thought of this a long time ago. The amulet refined by Master Wanfa is prepared for this. Okay, let's go to the dining hall to eat first, then rest for a while, and wait for Master Wanfa to send the amulet."
"Master Yan, wait a minute, I have a gift for you."
Saying this, Yan Tianying quickly walked out of the door without waiting for a response, and soon walked in with a large pottery basin in his arms.
Seeing a five-foot-tall sapling growing in the big pottery pot, Yan Tianying smiled and said:
"You want to give me a potted plant? Xiao Shen, I really dare to accept this gift from you..."
Just as he said this, he suddenly smelled an alluring fragrance, which made him salivate. Surprised, Yan Tianying concentrated his eyes and took a closer look, and found that the bark of the sapling had faint scaly lines.
Yan Tianying's heart moved, he raised his right hand, and a little white light burst out from his fingertips, illuminating the entire room.
Under the illumination of white light, the scaly texture on the bark of the small sapling became more conspicuous, and even reflected the gorgeous crystal light, making it look like it was covered with a layer of crystal scales.
Look at those branches again. At the end of each horizontal branch, there are five branches. There are five branches of different lengths that bend upward. Excluding the leaves and just looking at the branches, it looks vaguely like five fingers pointing to the sky.
Gripping dragon claws.
Yan Tianying was suddenly shocked:
"Ichthyosaur wood?"
Shen Lang smiled and praised:
"Master Yan has good eyesight. This fish and dragon sapling is exactly the gift I want to give to Master Yan and Master Wanfa to thank you for your help in the Spider Mother Incident and my entry into the Taoist Academy for further study."
Yan Tianying frowned and said:
"Xiao Shen, do you know how precious the Yumu Dragon is? Warriors, monks, even humans and demons can use the Yumu Dragon to practice. The elixir made from the Yumu Dragon as the main material is very effective for a first-class real person.
, it is useful for all great masters. It is also a top-quality spiritual material when used to refine weapons.
"Because it has such a wide range of applications, during the last years of the previous dynasty when all the heroes were fighting for hegemony, this spiritual tree was all cut down and disappeared from the world. Today, only two great masters of the royal family have two pieces of ichthyosaurs collected from the founding of the country to the present.
Aniseed wood. Xiao Shen, please give me a live tree now..."
"Master Yan, please listen to me first."
Shen Lang interrupted Yan Tianying:
"I am really not bribing Shangguan. I am giving you and Master Wanfa this small sapling. Firstly, I am grateful for the help you and Master Wanfa have given me. Secondly, I also have something to ask for. Of course, I am not begging you to do it for my own selfish reasons. It is just
I would like to ask Master Wanfa to help me refine a spiritual elixir."
He took out the prescription of "Fish Dragon Pill" and placed it on Yan Tianying's table:
"This kind of elixir, in addition to the main medicine of Ichthyosaurus, also needs several other kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures as auxiliary medicines. I don't have other kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, so I can only ask for the help of Wanfa Zhenren
I've got it all.
"So you see, my Ichthyosaurus tree sapling is just an exchange for those precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as asking Master Wanfa to help me refine elixirs. I didn't ask you to bend the law for me. This is always
Can’t it be considered a bribe?”
Yan Tianying picked up the elixir recipe and took a look at it. He saw that the several auxiliary medicines listed on the elixir recipe were considered treasures, but their value could not be compared with that of a living Ichthyosaur tree sapling.
Even if the reward from Master Wanfa is included, this Ichthyosaurus tree sapling is really too precious.
When he was hesitating, Shen Lang said again:
"Master Yan, I have this fish dragon tree in my hand. Apart from chewing the leaves, I really can't fully exert its spiritual effect. It's really a waste. Only in the hands of a great master like Wanfa Zhenren who is good at refining elixirs and refining weapons.
Only in this way can it maximize its effect.
"In this way, you regard it as the public property of our Shencat Hall. All the head catchers of the Shencat Hall can enjoy the various spiritual materials produced by Yulongmu. Isn't that a problem?"
Only then did Yan Tianying smile:
"It's okay to treat it as the public property of the God's Catcher Hall. Then I'll thank you on behalf of all my colleagues."
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"Master Yan, you are serious. In addition, I have special breeding methods. If I have time in the future, I can also help cultivate Yumulong to make it grow faster."
"Xiao Shen, you are serious."
Yan Tianying didn't ask where he got the Ichthyosaurus tree sapling, let alone what his special cultivation method was - what kind of genius doesn't have some adventures and secrets? If you really want to get to the bottom of it, you want to control it.
Everything will only make the talented people alienated.
After all, every genius has a unique personality. The more talented they are, the more unruly, wild and unruly they are.
There has never been a true genius who is willing to be controlled by others.
"I will give the elixir recipe to Yu Zhen. When you come back from this mission, you should be able to receive the first batch of elixir."
Yan Tianying put away the prescription, put it in his arms, and asked Shen Lang to go to the dining hall to eat:
"I have to guard this sapling, wait for Yuzhen to come over, and transplant it into her secret realm of Qiankun. I don't worry about keeping it outside. If the two royals find out about it, they will definitely have bad intentions..."
So Shen Lang said goodbye to Yan Tianying and went to the canteen for a working meal.
After a hearty meal, Shen Lang went to a side room to meditate and adjust his breath, while taking another look at his own strength and equipment.
Xiaoyu has been promoted to the third level, his strength has skyrocketed, and his ability is comparable to that of a fourth-level warrior.
Xiaogu and Xiaoya also practiced hard in the Dianjingbi space when he was in retreat in the small single room of the Buddhist Scripture Hall, and their strength improved greatly.
Xiao Zhao, on the other hand, clearly promised to sleep for only a few days, but it has been more than a month and he still hasn't woken up.
However, the aura on its body is increasing day by day, and it feels like there are signs of being promoted to the third realm without the use of Emperor Flow Serum.
In terms of weapons and equipment, the golden silkworm soft armor and the cross-hair soft armor are worn close to the body, two fourth-grade swords, and a pair of fourth-grade treasure bows, all of which are well maintained in the space.
There is also the "triangular broken copper piece" that has eaten up all the starlight silver ingots. It is also fully charged and can strike a powerful blow at any time.
Treasures such as talismans, except for an "Exorcism Seal", a jade pendant that can bless the "All Living Things" spell three times, and the "Magic Talisman" that was just acquired and has a limited shelf life, all other talismans have been consumed.
There are no additions at the moment.
However, the amulet that Master Wanfa is refining should have a life-saving effect.
In terms of cultivation.
As Xiaoyu advanced to the third level, Shen Lang's fourth level of Demon Taming Technique has also been completed, and the cultivation progress has reached 200/200, but it is not like the previous levels, where once the progress is full, he will be automatically promoted to the next level.
From the information transmitted by "Little Moon", we learned that in order to advance from the fourth level of the Demon Taming Art to the fifth level, in addition to meeting the cultivation progress, another condition must be met, that is, having three third level little demons at the same time.
Now Shen Lang only has Xiaoyu and a third-level little demon. He still needs two more little demons to advance to the third level. The demon taming technique can break through to the fifth level.
"Well, maybe there's more than just a third-level demon in Xiaoyu."
Shen Lang touched his chin and thought to himself:
"There is also a spider spirit who always makes trouble with me..."
Well, Shen Lang was not sure about the true status of the "Spider Spirit", so he didn't put much hope in it and excluded it for the time being.
"In this mission, no matter what, there is no time to advance to the fifth level and cultivate a fifth-level spell. It's a pity. If you practice the fifth-level spell, you can cultivate the 'Vajra Indestructible Body', and the armor can be stacked up to crazy levels..."
Shen Lang shook his head with regret:
"As for martial arts, my internal strength is still a bit weak, so I can't advance to the level where I can release my internal strength externally... But after returning from this mission and getting the Fish Dragon Pill, I should be able to make rapid progress again."
After adjusting his breath in the wing room for more than half an hour, Yan Tianying sent someone to summon Shen Lang.
Shen Lang hurried over and saw that Master Wanfa had arrived, and the ichthyosaurus sapling had disappeared. He thought it had been collected by Master Wanfa.
Seeing Shen Lang, Master Wanfa smiled at him, nodded and said:
"Xiao Shen is interested. I will help you refine a pot of 'Fish Dragon Pill' as soon as possible. You can see it when you come back from this mission."
Shen Lang clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, Master!"
Master Wanfa took out something and handed it to Shen Lang.
This was a palm-sized silver net. It looked familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, Shen Lang remembered that when he first crossed over, he seemed to have been caught by a similar net.
"This is a specially strengthened 'life-catching net' that can capture early stage fourth-grade warriors."
Wanfa Zhenren explained:
"If you use this net to deal with that Shen Sanlang, you can trap him in the net and make him fall asleep on the spot. This net can maintain vitality and make the people in the net like hibernating snakes. Even if they don't eat or drink for a month or two,
Survival is also guaranteed.
"After netting that Sanlang Shen, don't kill him or let him go. Just trap him in the net and hide him in a secret place. Because you will need this thing next..."
She then took out a three-inch long and one-inch wide silk talisman that looked like it was woven with gold thread:
"This is a 'life-altering talisman'. You take a drop of blood from Shen Sanlang's eyebrows, a drop of blood from his earlobes on both sides, and a drop of blood from his heart, and put them all on this talisman.
"Then this talisman will activate on its own, allowing you to take over Shen Sanlang's fate, which can last for one month. Combined with the 'Phase of All Living Beings' spell to disguise yourself, even a first-level great master will not be able to tell your fate if he doesn't tell it in person.
Your disguise.
"During this period, you can still possess most of Shen Sanlang's abilities. Not only his martial arts, but also his life skills, such as making ramen, etc., you can instantly possess them, and your proficiency is not inferior to that of Shen Sanlang himself. In terms of dealing with people, you can also
Substitute instinct into Shen Sanlang's daily style.
"In addition, this talisman can kill you once. Once you encounter a fatal attack, the attack will be transferred to the living Shen Sanlang, and you will be randomly teleported thousands of feet away.
"For this reason, we must ensure that Shen Sanlang survives. If he dies, all the efficacious effects of this talisman will be ineffective."
After listening to her explanation, Shen Lang couldn't help but ask:
"Such a powerful French net and magical talisman must consume precious materials, right?"
Master Wanfa smiled and said:
"They are all made from the heavenly materials and earthly treasures obtained from the Yunding Demon Palace. However, the purpose of the existence of spiritual materials is to consume them. If they are just collected blindly and not used, then what else do they need to do?"
Shen Lang knew that Master Wanfa could use the heavenly materials and earthly treasures taken from the Yunding Demon Palace to refine such a treasure for him, not just for investigation, but also because he valued him.
Otherwise, it would be enough to have the "appearance of living beings" and change one's appearance. Why would there be a need to make another "life-catching net" and a "life-replacing talisman"?
At that moment, Shen Lang put away the French net and the magic talisman, and faced Master Wanfa, Yan Tianying bowed his hands:
"Master Yan, Master Chang, this subordinate will definitely live up to his mission during this trip!"
Yan Tianying raised his hand and patted his shoulder:
"Proceed with caution, safety first."
After that, Shen Lang took out the "divine walking talisman" and said to the two of them:
"Then I'll start taking action!"
Yan Tianying also waved his hand decisively:
"Go ahead. We'll keep an eye on the other real people."
With a thought, Shen Lang injected spiritual power and activated the magic talisman. His body flashed and disappeared into thin air.
After Shen Lang disappeared.
Master Wanfa took one look at Yan Tianying's expression and said:
"Are you worried about them?"
Yan Tianying shook his head:
"I'm not worried about them. Although Xiaomu is a little reckless, she is very powerful and has life-saving treasures. Xiaochen is alert and has a 'life substitute'. The exorcism mark on his body is made by you and me.
Master Liuli joins forces to refine it, and it will have miraculous effects in life-and-death situations. As long as we keep an eye on the first-level great masters, their safety will be worry-free."
Master Wanfa said in confusion:
"Then why are you still so worried?"
Yan Tianying sighed:
"Monsters appear frequently, and demonic miasmas are everywhere... Dachu, which seems to be in its prime, is actually sitting on the crater of a volcano..."
Master Wanfa chuckled:
"So what? Da Chu is not from our family. You have worked hard for Da Chu these years and you have done your best. The emperor is noble and the high-ranking officials are vying to ruin the family. What does it have to do with you? As long as you are willing,
I can transcend the world at any time, let the world be in chaos and the great Chu collapse, how can I do anything to get you?"
Yan Tianying sighed secretly in his heart, Master Wanfa actually had some "genius disease".
She is cold and aloof, with her eyes set too high. She only treats peerless geniuses like Mu Qingxue and Shen Lang in a different light, and it is difficult for her to empathize with ordinary people.
Without his restraint, it would have been impossible for Master Wanfa to have paid so much for Shenzaitang.
Of course, Yan Tianying would not go straight to her fault. Instead, he had to coax her a little and reach out to hold her Rou Yi:
"I can detach at any time, but don't I have to wait for you? When you detach, I will detach. Before that... I can do more for the people of the East, so that I can have a clear conscience..."
…
night.
Sanlang Shen closed the restaurant door, finished his day's work, and returned to his backyard home.
As soon as he opened the door and entered the house, a large silver net fell from the beam, covering him tightly from head to toe.
Shen Sanlang was startled and was about to burst out his energy to break free from the net, but a sudden sleepiness hit him, causing him to fall to the ground and fell into a deep sleep in the blink of an eye.
Then, a slender, crystal-white bone palm "jumped" down from the beam.
This small bony hand uses the two middle fingers as legs, with the thumb, ring finger and little finger clasping a completely bald brush. After landing, it circles around the sleeping Shen Sanlang in the net. The thumb gently taps the penholder, and a brush is drawn.
The figure appeared out of thin air.
It was Shen Lang.
"Well done!"
Shen Lang picked up the slender bone hand, praised it with a smile, and put it back into the space.
Then take a look at Shen Sanlang in the "life-catching net", take out a silver needle, pierce the center of Shen Sanlang's eyebrows through the mesh, take a drop of blood from each earlobe and heart, and smear it on the "life substitute".
Soon, after absorbing four drops of blood, the talisman spontaneously ignited without fire and turned into a starry golden light, sinking into Shen Lang's brow.
A strange feeling suddenly came to Shen Lang's heart.
He felt as if he had become another person in an instant, and everything from the time he could remember until now flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.
If he were an ordinary person, he would probably be schizophrenic and develop the second personality "Shen Sanlang".
But the spiritual seeds condensed by Shen Lang's practice of "Demon Taming Technique" are not even afraid of magic weapons that cleanse memories. Now that he has the "Exorcist Seal" to suppress the soul, his spirit will certainly not be so fragile——
Wan Fa Zhenren dared to give him a "life replacement talisman" because of the treasure of the exorcism seal. When he replaced someone else's life, he would not be confused by other people's life experiences and really regard himself as someone else's fool.
dragon.
Shen Lang quickly came back to his senses, separated from his emotions, kept his true feelings, and watched the revolving memory scenes from the perspective of a bystander.
He originally expected to see something related to the kidnapping organization from Shen Sanlang's memories.
But I didn't expect that many of the memories were very blurry, like looking at flowers through fog, or like looking at flowers through a layer of frosted glass covered with moisture, making it impossible to see clearly.
Not to mention who Shen Sanlang's superiors are, even who his accomplices are, and who he has kidnapped, are all unclear.
"It seems that this person has also been subject to some kind of restriction in his mind! Fortunately, Eunuch Liao and 'Ding Hao' had learned from the past and did not rush to brainwash him with the 'Transfer Curse'. Otherwise, the restriction would be triggered and Shen Sanlang would be tortured to death.
The talisman is useless!"
Shen Lang secretly rejoiced.
At this time, another indescribable and wonderful feeling emerged from my body.
It's as if in an instant, some muscle memory was acquired and some superb skills were acquired.
For example, making ramen...
Not only that, he also acquired a set of martial arts skills that he had never practiced before, and even with the magical effect of the "Substitute Life Talisman", he could display the entry-level Qi of Shen Sanlang's fourth grade.
And the source of this true energy seems to be none other than Shen Sanlang. In other words, when Shen Lang activates his true energy to make moves, what he consumes is the true energy in Shen Sanlang's Dantian who is sleeping in the net.
"The talisman is really magical!"
Shen Lang sighed secretly:
"The ability of a first-grade great master is really miraculous, mysterious and mysterious..."
In my heart, I became more and more yearning for the realm of Yipin Dharma cultivation.
The talisman has taken effect. The next step is to dress up as Shen Sanlang and wait patiently.
As for where to hide Shen Sanlang, of course it is some fine space.
To ensure his survival and to ensure that he is hidden secretly enough, where in the world is there a more suitable place than the Dianjingbi Space?
Anyway, this guy will be in a comatose state all the time, and he will definitely be killed afterwards, so there is no need to worry about him exposing the secret of the space.
At that moment, Shen Lang waved his hand and put Shen Sanlang in the net into the fine pen space, and watched the little demons carefully. Then he took out the jade talisman given by Lord Liuli and activated the "Phase of All Living Beings" spell. With a thought, it changed.
He became a fat white man with a round face, big earlobes, and a ball of dough that looked like Maitreya Buddha.
He has "experienced" Shen Sanlang's life and is already familiar with his appearance and physical characteristics, so it is easy to disguise his appearance.
Even the tone of speaking, the style of dealing with others, even the postures and rhythms of walking, sitting and lying, even the micro-expressions and small movements, are exactly the same as Shen Sanlang.
No one who is familiar with Shen Sanlang now can see through Shen Lang's disguise.
It is said that Shen Sanlang originally had two older brothers, but they neither lived past the age of seven and died young. His parents also died of an illness two years ago. The 28-year-old Shen Sanlang has not gotten married and has been single and running the business alone.
Noodle House.
This was also convenient for Shen Lang.
After changing his body shape and appearance, Shen Lang walked around the room twice, went to the bedroom by familiar routes, went to the closet, took out a set of clothes and put on them.
Then I went to the kitchen and tried to make a bowl of ramen.
The technique is indeed skillful, the noodles made are even in thickness, flexible and chewy, and the sauce prepared is also very delicious, making it very satisfying to eat.
"It's a pity that there are no chili peppers. Otherwise, if I make a bowl of spicy noodles, the noodles will be more enjoyable."
Shen Lang huffed and ate the ramen he made and said to himself that this craft is really good. He should really learn this craft during the time he replaced Shen Sanlang. This way, even if the "life talisman" fails in the future, he can still make it by himself.
Make delicious ramen.
The identity has been settled and the craftsmanship is no problem. The next step is to run the noodle shop according to Shen Sanlang's original life rhythm and wait patiently.
Shen Lang originally thought that he would have to wait for a long time for changes this time.
After all, Shen Sanlang just made a vote a few days ago, so he had to stay dormant for a long time.
Unexpectedly, on the third day after pretending to be Shen Sanlang, a new "deal" came to my door.
This evening.
Shen Lang closed the door of the restaurant, ended his day's work, and returned to the backyard house with an oil lamp. As soon as he opened the door and entered the house, he suddenly stopped and felt a wave of emotion in his heart.
There was actually someone in the house.
In the main room, a man in black wearing a crying face mask was sitting motionless on a chair.
Before seeing this person, Shen Lang didn't notice the slightest aura, nor did he have any premonition with his spiritual sense. He didn't realize the existence of the man in black until he saw the man in black with his naked eyes.
Fortunately, he had rich undercover experience and was mentally prepared for all kinds of accidents that might occur. Therefore, although he was slightly surprised in his heart, his face remained calm, as if he had known this before and was not surprised.
He really should "not be surprised".
Because when he saw the man in black, in Shen Lang's "memory", a picture that was originally unclear suddenly became clear.
It was the same time, the same place, the same man in black, sitting opposite him, giving him instructions in an indistinguishable male and female voice.
Shen Lang immediately knew that the man in black was Shen Sanlang's contact person. He even "remembered" this person's code name.
At that moment, Shen Lang calmly made the same action as the real Shen Sanlang - closed the door with his backhand, hung the oil lamp on the wall, took a few steps forward, put his hands over his heart, made a strange seal, and bowed to the man in black
He bowed and said solemnly:
"Meet the Night Crying Messenger."
The man in black, codenamed "Night Cry", remained motionless, his crying face mask facing Shen Lang. Under the mask, the two dark-black children were calm and calm. He said calmly with the indistinguishable voice of "memory":
"The birthday of the Holy Lord is approaching, and more tributes are needed. The new goal has been determined. Prepare yourself and take action immediately. This time, the partners are still the same two people as last time."
As he spoke, he took out a paper bag, held it between his two fingers and threw it gently, and the paper bag spun and flew flatly in front of Shen Lang.
Shen Lang raised his hand to take the paper bag, opened it and took out a piece of kraft paper, and saw a portrait of a beautiful woman drawn with colored ink on it. She was a heroine who looked to be in her twenties, holding a long sword in her arms and smiling brightly.
"Gu Hongye, 21 years old, a native of Qingyang Mansion, has a fourth-grade entry level cultivation, and has excellent swordsmanship. He is the most outstanding genius swordsman among the younger generation of Qingyang Mansion. One-on-one, none of the three of you are her opponent.
.But three against one, with mental arithmetic but no intention, she is no match for you."
The man in black cried at night and said:
"She is traveling to the capital this time, making friends with martial arts, and proving her swordsmanship. She is currently staying at Wanzipo Station, which is seventy miles away from Fucheng. Except for Gu Hongye, there are no other masters in the station. You can use it freely.
.”
Shen Lang bowed his hands and said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, envoy, I will fulfill my mission."
"Be sure to rush to Wanzipo Station within an hour. After the task is completed, send the target to the old place. The old rule is that after the task is completed, everyone goes home, and no inquiring or discussion is allowed."
"Yes, messenger."
After assigning the task, the figure of the man in black crying at night suddenly floated away in strands and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. It felt as if he was a human form made of clouds and mist, and disappeared when the wind blew.
Seeing this scene, Shen Lang immediately understood in his heart that the man in black crying at night was not a real person at all, but just a projection, an illusion or something like that.
"No wonder there is no breath, and there is no response from the spiritual sense... Although this illusion can speak and is more agile than my Water Moon Phantom Body, it does not exist in reality. Apart from transmitting messages, I am afraid it has no other abilities."
Shen Lang thought to himself:
"But being able to use this kind of projection illusion, the deity of the man in black crying at night should be a high-level cultivator."
At this time, another picture of the original model lake became clear in Shen Lang's mind.
He touched his chin thoughtfully, followed the scene in his "memory", walked to the bedroom by a familiar route, pushed open the wardrobe, and lightly pressed somewhere on the wall.
Katcha!
He pressed on the wall, but the sound came from the threshold.
Not surprisingly, Shen Lang turned his head and looked at the threshold of the bedroom, and saw a hidden grid popping up on the threshold. Inside was a bronze ghost-face mask, with a piece of black silk underneath the mask.
He went over to take out the mask and shook out the black cloth, only to find a black cloak without any markings.
Shen Lang put on his mask, draped his cloak over his body, reset the secret grid, left the room, used Qing Kung Fu and walked out of the backyard, quickly blending into the night.
An hour later, midnight is approaching.
Outside Wanzipo Station, in a small forest.
Shen Lang stopped silently and slowly walked into the forest. He immediately saw two men in black wearing the same bronze ghost masks and black cloaks.
Of the two men in black, one was sitting on a dead tree stump with his chin in his hands, and the other was leaning against a big tree with his arms around his chest.
Seeing these two men in black, Shen Lang immediately "recalled" their codenames, one was called "Zombie" and the other was called "Wooden". As for Shen Sanlang...
"Fat man, you're late."
The man in black, codenamed "Wooden", leaning against the big tree, said in a hoarse voice whose voice was difficult to distinguish:
Shen Lang also said in a low voice with the rich voice that Shen Sanlang always pretended:
"It's not too late, the time is just right."
The man in black, codenamed "Zombie", who was sitting on the dead tree stump, stood up:
"Now that everyone is here, let's start immediately to avoid a long night. Fatty, it's your turn to take the lead this time."
Shen Lang nodded and took the lead, heading towards the inn.
Zombies and wood followed him on the left and right, keeping a distance of three feet from him.
While traveling, Shen Lang "recalled" several scenes.
It was also night, and it was also the woods. Three men in black, including Shen Sanlang, were rushing through the forest, chasing a woman in front of them who was wearing fiery red clothes, with a slender waist, long legs, and long hair.
The leader this time was a man in black named "Zombie".
His Qinggong was very weird. Every time he landed on the soles of his two feet at the same time, and when he jumped, he also took off with both feet at the same time. His knees never bent. He looked really like a zombie.
Although his movements were weird and his posture was awkward, the "zombie" flew extremely fast. In just a few leaps, he was only three feet away from the woman in red shirt who was running ahead.
Suddenly, the woman in the red shirt suddenly turned around, jumped up, raised her long legs high above her head, let out a sharp roar, and slammed one of her legs towards the "zombie"'s head like she was swinging an axe.
"Zombie" snorted coldly, blocked with his arms, and with a loud bang, the heel of the woman in red shirt slammed into "Zombie"'s arm, causing him to sink suddenly, and his legs were half a foot into the soil.
More than enough.
Before the woman in red shirt landed, she leaned up in the air and whipped out her other long leg, hitting the "zombie" in the face.
"Zombie" smiled, flicked his arm, and hit her long legs head-on.
There was another loud noise, and the "zombie" grunted, and his elbow joint made a snapping sound, and was dislocated. The woman in red shirt was also thrown backwards, and hit a big tree hard, knocking the
The big tree hit the tree, causing sawdust to fly, and it broke into two pieces at the waist.
At this time, Shen Sanlang, who was rushing from behind, had jumped up. His fat body was like a big cat pouncing on food. He flew several feet in the air, pushed with both palms, and hit the woman in red shirt hard.
When the palms came out, the skin of his palms became as red as cinnabar, and the fat palms swelled into pieces, becoming like small red millstones with thick thickness on both sides.
It is the evil martial arts "Red Devil Hand" practiced by Shen Sanlang.
The red-shirted woman who had just landed couldn't dodge, but she didn't seem to want to dodge. Her red lips were pursed tightly, her sword eyebrows were raised, she raised her slender white palms, and pushed hard against the pair of red and thick fat hands.
.
When the palm came out, her palm turned red, as if there was a layer of red flame attached to it.
Boom!
With a thunderous explosion, the four palms collided violently, and a red wave of air visible to the naked eye erupted from the intersection of the four palms, rushing out in all directions, knocking down and breaking all the trees, big and small, within two feet around the two of them.
The broken parts of some trees showed scorch marks caused by flames; the broken stubble of other trees seemed to be corroded by poison, with green smoke sizzling and yellow sap dripping out.
The woman in the red shirt's upper body was shaken violently, her mouth was bleeding, and her feet sank to her ankles, but she did not take a step back. Shen Sanlang laughed wildly, and was about to activate the poisonous Qi of the "Red Devil Hand" again, when the woman in the red shirt suddenly raised her head.
A headbutt hit Shen Sanlang hard on the forehead.
Shen Sanlang's wild laughter stopped suddenly, his bronze mask was dented by the impact, and he flew backwards with a groan.
The red-shirted woman's forehead was also bloody from the collision, but her eyes were still sharp. She even opened the corners of her mouth to reveal her blood-stained white teeth, and smiled a wild and evil smile.
The tattered sleeves were pulled off, revealing a pair of arms that looked slender and white but had clear lines.
Then she stretched out her slender palm, hooked her fingers at the three men in black, and said contemptuously:
"You three come together!"
The memory screen ends here.
This was the last "hunt" conducted by Shen Sanlang and others.
The woman in red shirt who was being hunted was obviously Mu Qingxue, who had rescued the knight-errant, diverted the pursuers, and cut off her body.
To be honest, when he first saw the woman in red shirt, Shen Lang didn't really connect her with Mu Qingxue.
The woman in the red shirt has skin as white as snow and as delicate as jade.
But her facial features are more hard-edged than the sweet Mu Qingxue. Her eyebrows are like two flying swords, flying diagonally into her temples. Her eyes are extremely sharp, with a bit of weird madness.
If he had not known what Mu Qingxue was doing, Shen Lang would not have been able to believe that the fiery, fierce and evil woman in the red shirt and the sweet and cold Mu Qingxue were actually the same person.
"But after I was sure that she was Mu Qingxue, I thought carefully about it. Apart from their very different temperaments, their facial features do have some similarities... It feels like Mu Qingxue's original appearance has been sharpened. This kind of
Disguise...well, if I didn't know her identity in advance, I really wouldn't be able to recognize her."
"Reminiscing" along the way, while thinking, the three of them had arrived outside the inn wall.
Shen Lang, who was in the lead, jumped up and was about to cross the wall directly when suddenly his heart moved and he tipped his toes to the top of the wall, raising his figure by more than a foot.
At the same time, a cold light flashed before his eyes, and a sword light, like lightning on a rainy night, pierced his clothes and hit his chest with a pop.
If he hadn't temporarily tapped his foot on the wall and pulled himself upward, the sword would have hit his throat.
Shen Lang was hit by a sword in the chest, screamed in agony, and his fat body immediately fell backwards.
The zombie who was following him three feet away made Mu Mu startled slightly, but did not retreat. Instead, he accelerated and swept forward.
