Chapter 193 Overestimating one’s own abilities (please subscribe)
evening.
The sun sets in the west.
On the Yunshi Square in front of the Great Buddha Temple, hundreds of people rode quickly.
It was Lu Ning and other demon-suppressing people.
"Lin Jian, Wushuang, Tianbei, follow me, everyone else stays outside." Lu Ning got off his horse.
Lin Jian, Gu Wushuang, and Pei Tianbei also got off their horses. Sheng Xuan, Wang Ding and others stayed in the square, looking at the golden Buddha statue in the Great Buddha Temple.
The entrance of the temple.
A group of young monks looked sad when they saw Pei Tianbei's white hair.
Although Pei Tianbei was their junior master's uncle, he was similar in age to them. They used to play tricks together in the temple and their relationship was extremely good.
Now when they see their little master uncle, the boy's head is covered with snow, they feel very uncomfortable.
"A bunch of idiots didn't know how to stop me when they saw me coming?" Pei Tianbei touched the bald head of a monk of the same age, and then patted another person.
"See my great uncle."
As the older monk saluted, a group of young monks followed suit.
This made Pei Tianbei very uncomfortable. Although he had white hair, his youthful nature was still there. He was not used to being suddenly saluted solemnly by everyone.
"Okay, okay, I just have white hair. Don't you think I'm more handsome now than before?" Pei Tianbei waved his hand and grinned at everyone.
If you can always be in sadness in life, you should turn your sadness into strength and let yourself grow quickly.
"Disciple, please see my junior uncle."
Not long after entering the Great Buddha Temple, Monk Miaochen, dressed in white, appeared in front of the four of them.
When he saw Pei Tianbei's white hair, Miao Chen's eyes were also slightly red.
He heard about the plight of his junior uncle, but the battlefield was still a civil war. The Great Buddha Temple did not participate in the war, so he could not leave the temple to help his junior uncle.
Dawei Palace.
Master Xingyun stood on the stone steps in front of the palace, watching Lu Ning and others approaching. When he saw Pei Tianbei, there was no sadness on his face, but happiness.
"Junior brother, you are fine."
"Senior brother, look, I finally look like your junior brother now."
"Hahaha...you always look like this!"
The two senior brothers met, one old and one young, laughing and hugging each other.
It looks rude, but warm.
Then Master Xingyun looked at Lu Ning meaningfully and said, "Donor Lu, you are fine too."
"I've met Master Xingyun."
As soon as Lu Ning cupped his hands, Lin Jian and Gu Wushuang behind him also cupped their hands and saluted.
Master Xingyun smiled and nodded, leading Lu Ning and others towards the main hall.
Lu Ning said as he walked: "Master, I come here this time because I want to meet Mr. Gu."
Master Xingyun smiled and said: "Donor Lu, there is no Master Gu in this temple, there is only one Junior Brother Xingfeng."
"Junior Brother Xingfeng?"
Lu Ning was slightly startled, Xingfeng must be Gu Fengtang, and couldn't help but ask: "Master, has Master Xingfeng been ordained as a monk?"
Master Xingyun shook his head and said: "That's not the case yet. I have given him half a year to think about it. After half a year, if he is still willing to escape into Buddhism, I will ordain him."
Hearing this, Gu Wushuang, who was standing behind Lu Ning, breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, Pei Tianbei went to the Sutra Library to find his master, Master Wukong.
Lu Ning and the others, led by Miao Chen, arrived in front of a quiet valley palace. There was a middle-aged man wearing monk's robes with his hair tied in a bun, sweeping the floor with one arm.
As if sensing his daughter, the middle-aged man trembled slightly, stopped what he was doing, and turned to look.
Not far away, he saw a slim figure standing on the stone steps, it was Gu Wushuang.
Gu Wushuang was wearing a purple flying bear suit, a futou on her head, a jade belt around her waist, a winter thunder knife, and moiré boots. She stood quietly, biting her pink lips, and stared at the one-armed middle-aged man with a pair of starry eyes.
.
The middle-aged man is Gu Fengtang.
He glanced at his daughter, then looked at Lu Ning, Lin Jian, and Miao Chen not far away, and smiled at Lu Ning.
"father!"
With a cry in her voice, Gu Wushuang rushed towards Gu Fengtang, lay in Gu Fengtang's arms and began to cry.
Gu Fengtang, a grown man, felt uncomfortable watching his daughter cry.
Since the ancestor Gu Conglong, the Gu family has become worse and worse with each generation. When it comes to his generation, he can't even protect his son, and he himself almost died on the battlefield.
Sometimes I think about it, even if I die, I won’t have the shame to see my ancestors.
With red eyes, Gu Wushuang touched the sleeve of his father's broken arm and asked in a trembling voice: "Dad, do you feel bad?"
Gu Fengtang smiled: "Silly boy, I don't feel any pain anymore!"
Gu Wushuang nodded and said, "Dad, can you come back to Jingzhou with me? I still have my mother and younger brother at home."
Gu Fengtang smiled and pulled Gu Wushuang to sit on a stone bench aside.
Seeing this, Lu Ning, Lin Jian, and Miao Chen walked away and wandered around the Great Buddha Temple.
Sutra Pavilion.
top layer.
"Crazy boy, crazy boy!"
Looking at his disciple Pei Tianbei, Old Monk Wukong secretly shook his head and smiled, then pulled Pei Tianbei to sit cross-legged on the ground.
"Master, you have sealed the three seals in my disciple's body. I have already broken through two of them, and there is still one left." Pei Tianbei said with a grin.
Old Monk Wukong smiled and nodded: "The last one, the time has not come yet. When the time comes, you can naturally break through and reach the sky in one step."
Pei Tianbei grinned and nodded. Seeing his master closing his eyes slightly, he slowly closed his eyes too, but one hand had already touched the old monk's bald head.
In a moment, the two of them floated up, swinging in the air like leaves in the wind.
Night falls.
Lu Ning and Gu Fengtang were sitting on a stone step in the temple, looking at the stars in the sky.
"If you can understand the "Great Conferring God Technique", then study it carefully. This technique is miraculous and powerful."
"Back then, Gu Conglong, the ancestor of the Gu family, relied on this technique to help Taizu Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty found the country, and later established the Demon Suppression Division."
"But until now, this technique has been passed down. Now I am the only one in the Gu family who knows the most about this technique, but it is far inferior to the Nine Palaces Thunder Sword Formation you used."
"This technique is complicated, but if you understand it through research, understand it, and understand it, you can walk sideways in this world."
Lu Ning nodded and smiled at Gu Fengtang, "I can also walk sideways now!"
"Gu Shuai, are you really not planning to return to Jingzhou?" Lu Ning asked.
"I won't go back. I have no face to face the empress, no face to face the Gu family, no face to face the civil and military ministers of Beijing and Zhou Dynasties. This is the best place for me to end up." Gu Fengtang looked up at the stars and sighed deeply.
Lu Ning also raised his head and stared at the starry sky: "One general can achieve great success. War is fought with dead men. No matter how powerful a person is, facing the unpredictable battlefield, there will be times when he becomes confused."
"You really don't need to blame yourself for your mistakes."
Hearing this, Gu Fengtang took a deep look at Lu Ning: "I am not wrong about you. You have grown a lot, not only in martial arts, but also in your state of mind. With you in the Demon Suppression Division, the world will be at peace."
Lu Ning smiled.
Gu Fengtang continued: "As for returning to Beijing, don't try to persuade me. If one day the Gu family is in trouble, I hope you can help Wushuang."
"As a father, I don't want to see my daughter look helpless!"
Lu Ning nodded: "Don't worry, Gu Shuai. If something happens to the Gu family, he won't just stand by and watch if it concerns my relationship with Wushuang."
Gu Fengtang nodded and took a deep look at Lu Ning: "She is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Please help me take care of her."
"...!!"
Lu Ning was speechless. Why did he feel that this 'care' was a bit involved?
He immediately turned his face and glanced not far away. Under the starlight, the slim man glanced at him gently.
Lu Ning was excited, looked at Gu Fengtang and said, "Your daughter, are you sure you want me to take care of her?"
Gu Fengtang smiled and nodded.
"Then did you tell her?"
"said."
"..."
Lu Ning was speechless. Looking at Gu Wushuang's furtive eyes, she felt like she wanted to eat him.
The next day.
August 6th.
Experience: 263 million points.
In the end, Gu Fengtang decided to escape into Buddhism at the Great Buddha Temple. Although Gu Wushuang was very sad about this, she did not want her father to live in pain.
"Dad, after a while, I will bring my mother and brother to see you."
Before leaving, Gu Wushuang pulled Gu Fengtang and said.
Gu Fengtang took a deep breath and said: "Silly boy, don't let your mother torment you, teach your brother well."
At this moment, a figure quickly ran out from the Great Buddha Temple, it was Pei Tianbei.
"Brother Lu, wait for me!"
Lu Ning looked back and raised his eyebrows, wondering why he had forgotten this kid.
The entrance to the Great Buddha Temple.
Monk Miaochen personally sent Lu Ning, Pei Tianbei and others away and watched everyone heading towards Fengan County.
There is a Tianpu Mountain Range in Fengan County, and Ba Zong, one of the three major martial arts holy places, is located in the Tianpu Mountain Range.
Fengan County is located directly south of the Great Buddha Temple, about 15,000 miles away.
Just after midnight, everyone rushed to Fengan County.
When the governor of Fengan County received the news, hundreds of people from Lu Ning had already entered the city.
Without stopping in the city, he passed through Fengan County and headed southwest.
After half a stick of incense.
Hundreds of people stopped at a high ground on the official road and looked to the northwest, blocking the lurking mountains, dark as dragons, dormant on the earth.
If you get closer, you can see between the peaks, or on a single peak, there is white water pouring down from the top. It is one of the wonders of the Ba Zong, the Heavenly Waterfall.
"Flying down three thousand feet, it seems that the Milky Way has fallen into the sky." Lu Ning murmured as he sat on the tall black horse, looking at the Tianpu Mountains.
When Lin Jian and others heard this, they all applauded.
Seen from a distance, the waterfall is spectacular.
Lu Ning and others admired it for a moment, then rushed towards the Overlord in the mountains.
Although it is a mountain road, it is smooth all the way.
Not long after, hundreds of people from Lu Ning came to the mountain road outside the Ba Sect, but they did not see a single disciple of the Ba Sect.
Immediately, his spiritual consciousness swept across and he discovered that some of the disciples of Ba Zong were gathered in the square in front of Ba Zong Mountain. There were three thousand people, all of them strong and powerful, and as powerful as tigers.
In front of the disciples, there were three people standing.
The leader was a white-haired old man, wearing a gray robe, with an extremely tall figure, but a sinister and stern look on his face. He was none other than the third elder of Ba Zong, Mu Xuansong, who was responsible for Ba Zong's law enforcement and other affairs, and he was usually very strict.
The two people behind Mu Xuansong are Ba Zong law enforcement disciples.
"The evil thief from the Demon Suppression Division who killed Elder Tang, the Wenren of our sect, without any evidence, is at the foot of the mountain. All the disciples will listen to my orders later and take action together to capture all 100 of them..."
"
"Elder Mu, be careful!"
Suddenly all the disciples opened their eyes wide and yelled at Mu Xuansong.
Mu Xuansong also sensed the danger behind him and dodged away.
Poof!
The spot where Mu Xuansong was standing just now was split open by a long knife in an instant.
Thunder and lightning flashed, and a winter thunder sword flashing with tyrannical aura was stuck in the stone square.
No one dares to approach within a radius of ten feet.
Mu Xuansong's face was full of anger, and he roared angrily. His body was filled with domineering energy, forming an earthy yellow sphere, and he was about to shake the winter thunder knife away.
At this time, a figure suddenly came over at a speed that was simply terrifying.
I saw a young man, wearing a fire-patterned unicorn suit, standing in front of the Winter Thunder Sword with his hands behind his back, staring at Mu Xuansong and the three thousand disciples of the Ba Sect.
The young man is Lu Ning.
Finally, he stared at the angry Mu Xuansong and sneered: "You want to kill me, I'm here."
"Lu, you used to be the deputy director of the Demon Suppression Department, but you secretly killed my eldest elder of the Ba Sect without any evidence. Do you still want to make excuses?"
Mu Xuansong stepped forward, pointed at Lu Ning and shouted angrily.
Lu Ning sneered: "Isn't it a crime for him to escape from prison? Forty years ago, he attacked and killed Prince Zhou Zhou, who later became Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty. Isn't it a crime for him to escape?"
Mu Xuansong said angrily: "That's not because you surrendered."
Lu Ning shook his head secretly and said, "Then what do you want?"
Mu Xuansong said angrily: "You are an evil thief, you are not worthy of being the master of the Demon Suppression Division. If you kill the great elder of my tyrant sect, of course you will pay for your life with your life."
Lu Ning sneered: "How much money did King Yongshan give you? I will give you three times."
Mu Xuansong: “……!!”
Lu Ning said coldly: "Five times!"
Mu Xuansong's anger disappeared by half in an instant, but he still stared at Lu Ning with unkind eyes and said, "Do you really mean what you said?"
Lu Ning nodded: "One word, one word."
Suddenly Mu Xuansong laughed loudly and said: "Do you think I am a fool? Will you be fooled?"
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "Old guy, your brain is really fast. If you don't accept it, then do it."
"I stand still and let you fight. If I move, I will lose."
"You can pretend so well!"
Mu Xuansong's face was full of anger again, he clenched his hands into fists, activated his body, and the powerful aura on his body once again formed a shield, and he roared and rushed towards Lu Ning.
The two law enforcement officers and the three thousand disciples on the side all clenched their fists, hoping that Elder Mu could beat Lu Ning to death with one punch, but the next moment, their faces were full of disappointment.
boom!
Mu Xuansong's powerful punch hit Lu Ning's chest instantly, and a ray of light flickered, but Lu Ning did not move at all.
Mu Xuansong, on the other hand, was knocked back by the shock, and the Gangqi around his body shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
this.
The expressions of the two law enforcement officers and the three thousand disciples suddenly changed. They all knew that the Lord of the Demon Suppression Division was powerful, but hearing about it and seeing it with their own eyes were two different things.
The strength of the third elder of Ba Zong was at the third level. Not only could he not be able to defeat Lu Ning, he was even injured by the shock. This strength was simply unbelievable.
It is worthy of being an invincible existence under the first rank.
Mu Xuansong did not believe in evil and activated his body to attack Lu Ning again.
boom!
Bang bang bang...
Every time he was bombarded, he was knocked away and vomited blood.
After seven punches, Lu Ning was not injured at all. His own internal organs had been cracked by the shock, and blood was flowing uncontrollably.
Everyone present was stunned.
At this moment, Lin Jian and others rode horses to the gate of Ba Zong Mountain, then dismounted and came to the square.
Seeing this scene, all the disciples were extremely nervous.
“It’s really overestimating one’s abilities!”
Lu Ning glanced coldly at Mu Xuansong who was vomiting blood, sheathed the Dong Lei Sword in front of him, and said coldly: "Cui Shan, the deputy sect leader of Ba Zong, a late second-grade strong man, was killed by me with one punch. Do you think you are
More powerful than him?"
After the voice fell, Lu Ning snorted coldly.
As soon as the wind blew up, Mu Xuansong screamed, his body exploded with a bang, and blood sprayed everywhere.
As for Lu Ning, it seemed that he had not moved at all.
Ba Zong's two law enforcement officers and three thousand disciples were completely frightened.
That's right, the deputy sect leader Cui Shan was killed by the master of the Demon Suppression Division. In the Ba Sect, only the sect leader and the master of the Demon Suppression Division should take a look.
At this moment, the three thousand disciples stepped aside one after another, and an old man with white hair walked out of the Ba Sect. The old man was wearing a golden brown robe and had a tall figure. He walked towards Lu Ning with his hands behind his back.
This person is the overlord of the sect, Yan Guiluo.
After Yan Guiluo appeared, he first glanced at the pool of flesh and blood on the ground, then took a deep breath and said, "Yan Guiluo, Lord of the Overlord Sect, pays homage to the Lord of Demon Suppression."
Lu Ning stared at Yan Guiluo and took a closer look. He was in the late second level, but his aura was much stronger than Cui Shan's before. Obviously, there were strong and weak in the late second level. This Yan Guiluo was more powerful than Cui Shan.
Judging from his age, Yan Guiluo is not young, probably one or two hundred years old, but his body and bones are still strong and strong.
Lu Ning had no intention of entering the Ba Sect. He stood in the square, staring at the waterfall not far away, and said in a cold voice: "Zong Master Yan, please speak for yourself."
Hearing this, Yan Guiluo took a deep breath. He had never thought that a second-grade strong person in the world would have to be humble in front of others.
However, the Lu Ning in front of him was a hot-blooded young man with fierce methods. He didn't have as many scruples as the old guys and would kill whenever he asked.
Therefore, Yan Guiluo did not dare to challenge Lu Ning's bottom line. After all, Lu Ning's strength was there, and killing him was as easy as crushing an ant.
"Lu Sizheng, although our Ba Sect is a sect in the Holy Land of Martial Arts, it is inevitable that there will be some confused people. The deputy sect leader Cui Shan, the first elder Wenren Tang, and the third elder Mu Xuansong have all been executed by you. They deserve it.
, he deserves it.”
"Besides this, I, Ba Zong, have always been loyal to the imperial court and obeyed the imperial court's orders. One-third of the assets my Ba Zong acquired each year will be handed over to the imperial court as tribute to atone for my sins."
Yan Guiluo's attitude was quite sincere.
Lu Ning glanced at him and said coldly: "Pay tribute every year for ten consecutive years."
Hearing this, Yan Guiluo bowed and said, "Thank you Lu Sizheng for your kindness. Ba Zong will do everything."
Seeing this, Lu Ning glanced at the Tianpu Mountain Range again, without stopping, and left with Lin Jian and others.
"Farewell, Mr. Lu!" Yan Guiluo said, cupping his hands.
The three thousand disciples behind him all raised their hands and said, "Congratulations, Master Lu."
Lu Ning sat on the black horse and left the Tianpu Mountains.
[Congratulations to the Punisher for killing the six-star sinner Mu Xuansong and gaining 9.2 million experience points at once!]
Experience: 272.2 million points.
After taking a look at the experience, Lu Ning led everyone to the Shengwu Hall.
Shengwu Hall is located in the west of Yunzhou, not far from Luotian City.
At noon.
Lu Ning and others arrived at Luotian City, one of the five major cities in the Zhou Dynasty. After the battle, Luotian City still looked so strong, with crowds of people on the streets.
After a simple lunch, Lu Ning's hundred people rushed out of the west of Luotian City and headed for the Xifeng Mountains, thousands of miles away to the northwest, without taking a break.
The Shengwu Hall is located in the Xifeng Mountains, covering a relatively large area. The disciples of the sect all practice physical martial arts, boxing, etc. in the Xifeng Mountains.
In front of the mountain gate, when Lu Ning and others arrived, he discovered that the leader of the Shengwu Hall was actually a woman named Mu Tingxue.
Mu Tingxue looked like she was in her twenties, with good looks and charming eyes. She was wearing a black and red robe, with her hands behind her back, standing in front of the sect, leading the elders and disciples of the sect to greet Lu Ning and others.
.
Lu Ning took a closer look and found that Mu Tingxue's cultivation was at the second level of perfection, but he couldn't tell the latter's age.
But to be able to become the master of the Shengwu Hall, one must still be in the second-grade perfection state, and it is impossible to be in his twenties.
"Saint Martial Hall, Mu Tingxue, together with the elders and disciples, respectfully welcome Lu Sizheng." Mu Tingxue slightly cupped her hands and said, her attitude was more sincere than that of the Overlord.
Lu Ning glanced at Mu Tingxue, and his spiritual consciousness swept over the Shengwu Hall. He made sure that there were no other strong people in the mountain, and then his eyes fell on Mu Tingxue.
"Master Mu, please tell me."
Mu Tingxue raised her head slightly and stared at Lu Ning with her dark and clear eyes. "As for Zong Zhengming, the deputy head of the Shengwu Hall, I have advised him many times in advance. He has insisted on going his own way, and I can't stop him."
"But I, the other elders and disciples of Shengwu Hall, have absolutely no qualms about the imperial court. I would like to ask Lu Sizheng to investigate clearly."
Hearing this, Lu Ning smiled and said nothing.
Once there is a war in the world, any sect will send some of its masters to take sides.
If the side that takes sides wins the battle, the sect will fully support it.
If the side being sided with doesn't win, it doesn't matter. The sect didn't turn out in full force. The person who ran away from the sect to join the side did not listen to the advice and insisted on going his own way. It had nothing to do with the sect's behavior.
Seeing Lu Ning smiling and staring at her without saying a word, Mu Tingxue had sweat on her fair forehead. She bowed again and said, "Master Lu, Zong Zhengming is dead. It was his own fault."
"But Shengwutang will still fully support the imperial court, obey the imperial court's orders, and pay tribute to the imperial court every year to show its sincerity."
Lu Ning said: "Pay tribute for ten years."
Mu Tingxue nodded and said, "No problem."
Lu Ning said nothing more, looked at Mu Tingxue and said, "I heard that your sect has a very powerful body-refining technique?"
Hearing this, Mu Tingxue's beautiful eyes flashed slightly and she said, "Master Sizheng should be talking about the ancient saint's body refining technique."
Lu Ning nodded and said: "Yes, that's it. Did someone in your Shengwu Hall refine it?"
Mu Tingxue smiled bitterly and said: "Master Si Zheng doesn't know that this body-refining technique is indeed powerful, but since the first generation master of the Shengwu Hall trained it to the beginner level, for thousands of years, there has been no one in the Shengwu Hall.
One person reaches the beginner level.”
Lu Ning pretended to be surprised and said: "Is it so difficult to practice?"
Mu Tingxue nodded: "Yes, but our Shengwu Hall has records that the first hall master practiced the "Ancient Saint's Body Refining Technique" to above the beginner level, and there are almost no opponents in this world."
"When you reach the Dengtang Hall, the fire will be even more powerful. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are invincible in the world."
Hearing this, Lu Ning nodded secretly and listened to Mu Tingxue continue: "But it's a pity that this body refining technique is too difficult to practice. I'm afraid no one in this world can master it."
"Even if there are people who can practice to the Hearthfire Realm, there are almost no people."
"If Sir Si Zheng wants to learn, my hall master can give Sir Si Zheng a handwritten copy."
Regarding Mu Tingxue's show of goodwill, Lu Ning smiled and said, "I wish I could have asked for it!"
A flash of light flashed in Mu Tingxue's eyes. Although it was her first time meeting Lu Ning, she knew that Lu Ning was a prodigy in martial arts. He could master the "Vajra Divine Fist" in the Great Buddha Temple, and maybe he could also master the "Ancient Saint's Body Refining Technique".
》.
As long as you master it, it can be regarded as increasing the prestige of Shengwu Hall.
If one day there is trouble in Shengwu Hall, will Lu Ning stand by and watch?
Mu Tingxue thought about it, then took out a manuscript from her body and handed it to Lu Ning.
