Chapter 34: branch line

Views:

The versatile scholar is famous for his disguise and light skills. In just one breath, he moved around in a very small space, trying hard to get rid of the sword light pointed at the center of his eyebrows.

However, he discovered to his horror that no matter what changes he made, the other party seemed to be able to see and hear them in advance and follow them accurately. The piercing chill between his brows became thicker and deeper.

How could there be such a powerful swordsman

After he arrived at the inn, he quietly inquired about Zhenhe Luo Guan Haoran. He knew that Zhang Yuanshan's martial arts was so superb that he had reached the innate level and was one step ahead of him. Therefore, after severely injuring Master Xinji in a sneak attack, he chose an escape direction to avoid Zhang Yuanshan and did not try. Break out from Xiao Zi who has no martial arts skills.

Who knew that the girl who always smiled and was so bright could be such a terrifying swordsman

Definitely better than Mr. Zhang who everyone admires

much stronger

Regret eroded the mind of the ever-changing scholar, but he knew that he could not delay it any longer. Regardless of whether he could dodge the sword, when the chief elders of Shaolin arrived, he would have no chance to escape, so he gritted his teeth, his face There was a flash of red on the body, it swayed forward, and then suddenly and strangely retreated, straight into the middle of Meng Qi and Qi Zhengyan.

He was trying to get rid of Jiang Zhiwei's sword with the help of a human shield.

Meng Qi saw the versatile scholar's movements as nimble and nimble as a ghost or a fox, and suddenly felt something in his heart. He thought of his own eight steps of divine movement. He seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing.

The versatile scholar stepped on his left foot and used his right foot as a pivot. He turned around in a strange way, trying to get behind Meng Qi to avoid Jiang Zhiwei's tarsal sword.

Meng Qi suddenly felt that this step looked familiar. It was similar to one of the eight steps of the Divine Walk.

As a result, he instinctively slid around and dodged behind the versatile scholar.

There was nothing in front of him. The versatile scholar was shocked and stunned, and the coldness between his eyebrows became more and more intense.

He had to change his pace again, and under his guidance, Meng Qi performed his best move since he achieved the Eight Steps of Divine Walking.

The two are like dancing partners, dancing gracefully, constantly changing directions, but always standing opposite each other, with unpredictable grace.

The dead monk, the ever-changing scholar, cursed in his heart. If he was given another time to breathe, he would definitely kill the little monk. However, after this short interruption, he had already seen the sharp tip of the sword.

Qi Zhengyan, who was standing next to him, drew his long sword, and dots of cold stars fell mistily, covering the versatile scholar.

By the time Zhang Yuanshan and the Shaolin monks arrived, the versatile scholar was already in a state of death.

Meng Qi was far behind in martial arts and was afraid of being taken hostage by Scholar Variety, so he used the Eight Steps of Divine Movement to sneak out of the encirclement at an opportunity. He held the sword in hand, preparing to use the Taiping Fist to give Scholar Variety a blow in the cold.

When he thought that he had spent a whole day with this enemy unsuspectingly, being deceived by him, and wandering on the verge of death, Meng Qi was secretly angry in his heart, and of course he would not let go of the opportunity for revenge.

The ever-changing scholar tried his best to transform, but it was still useless. He received a palm from the leader of the Discipline Academy, and received a sword from Jiang Zhiwei, Zhang Yuanshan, and Qi Zhengyan. His hair was disheveled and blood flowed horizontally. He staggered out, but his body was slow and he could no longer escape. .

Seeing this, Meng Qi stepped forward and slashed his back with a knife, causing a deep wound.

Huh, I'm such a narrow-minded person

The versatile scholar could no longer support himself and fell directly to the ground, his acupuncture points blocked by the red cassock.

Namo Amitabha and Donor Kuang have not seen each other for ten years, but I lost my sight and failed to recognize the benefactor. Xinji's face turned yellow, but he walked up without any support.

After the versatile scholar was captured, he knew that begging for mercy was ineffective, so he held his head high and laughed loudly: Haha, the abbot's eyesight is dim, and he is no longer as prosperous as he used to be. However, the General attaches great importance to the master. If you can lead Shaolin to surrender, he will ask the emperor to appoint you as the national master, so that Shaolin will become the first temple of Buddhism, with continuous incense and fertile land.

Leading beasts to eat people is what Shura did, and I was ashamed to be in the company of him. The words "Silence of Heart" are somewhat heroic.

Humph, the General has only one ear to worry about, the Master Abbot. Now that the Master has been injured by me, who can stop the General? The dangerous mountain road can only block ordinary masters and soldiers. To the General, it will be like walking on flat ground. When the time comes, , the pass was in vain, the ever-changing scholar could not be bribed, and he immediately threatened, Master Abbot, don’t let Shaolin’s thousand-year-old foundation be destroyed in your hands.

Meng Qi nodded invisibly, not because he agreed with what the scholar Bai Bian said, but because he was right on one point. When there are masters who transcend levels, if no one on his side can compete, ordinary mountain passes will not be able to compete. It's useless. The master can completely go around, kill the guards, and open the passage for his accomplices to enter.

Amitabha, the donor does not need to say anything. Shaolin’s foundation lies only in Buddhist philosophy and Zen. Xinji raised his sleeves and brushed the top of the Variety Scholar's head with a skinny palm. The battle was imminent and the old man could not hold back his hand.

You, you actually want to kill people. The versatile scholar is shocked and frightened. He also imagined that Jiang Zhiwei and Zhang Yuanshan wanted to kill him, but the Shaolin monks stopped him. They just abolished martial arts. Where are your precepts? Where is your Buddha? The general is coming soon, you die. No burial place

Amitabha, the Buddha has a compassionate heart and a vajra-like eyes. Xinji said in a calm tone, and lightly brushed the top of the Variety Scholar's head with his palm.

Suddenly, the versatile scholar widened his eyes with unwillingness and fell to the ground softly.

Meng Qi suddenly felt that this old monk was quite to his liking. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw the golden Buddha holding flowers and smiling again. The flames started to re-weave into words and kept changing.

Side mission one: Kill the versatile scholar among the four innate masters of the enemy camp. Jiang Zhiwei will be rewarded with thirty good deeds, Zhang Yuanshan Zhending will be rewarded with twenty good deeds each, and Qi Zhengyan and Wang Jin will be rewarded with ten good deeds each.

Side task description: Kill one of the four innate masters of the enemy camp. Participants will receive corresponding good deed rewards based on the difficulty of the task and their level of effort.

Side mission 2 starts: Kill General Doracha. Participants will be rewarded with good deeds ranging from 50 to 200 depending on their contribution.

Meng Qi couldn't believe this, this was a side mission.

At this time, Zhang Yuanshan used voice transmission to speak to him and Qi Zhengyan respectively: I didn’t have time to elaborate before. When I killed Guan Haoran, I started this side mission because I was the only one who took action. Based on the comparison of strength, I obtained fifty good deeds. , I think if you complete this task independently, Junior Brother Zhending, I am afraid the reward will be more than one hundred.

Well, Meng Qi nodded. In this environment, he couldn't ask more questions, so he waited for Xinji to speak.

Xinji looked at the body of the scholar Bai Bian, and was about to speak when an old monk with white eyebrows suddenly stood up from behind him. He pointed at Meng Qi and others with righteous indignation and said: You spies actually brought the scholar Bai Bian into the temple and harmed the abbot. What's the plan

One by one, the chief elders stepped forward, seemingly intending to capture Meng Qi and others.

Before Zhang Yuanshan opened his mouth to defend, Xinji waved his sleeves and said: There is no need to be so excited. The donors were not spies, they were probably just deceived by the Baibian scholar. If they were spies, when the Baibian scholar attacked Lao Na just now, Ruo Jiang Shi advocated The donors took action at the same time. With their strength, Lao Na might have passed away.

This reason was very convincing, and the excitement among the crowd subsided. However, the white-browed old monk still said with a calm face: The origins of the donors are unclear. Maybe most of them are indeed righteous men, but who dares to say that there are not some versatile scholars? Such a person was not exposed just now, maybe he just had far-reaching plans. They should not be allowed to stay in the temple for a long time before the identification is clear.

This will chill the hearts of the martyrs who come to help. A middle-aged monk said hesitantly.

The white-browed old monk said resolutely: The abbot was injured in a sneak attack. We can no longer take risks. Moreover, there are many people with mixed eyes. There may be many barbarian spies among those righteous men. It is better to let them return home individually.

Xinji sighed and said to Zhang Yuanshan: "There are some disputes and discussions in the temple. It is not convenient for several donors to hear about it. I also ask several donors to come down the mountain first. We will inform a few more after we come up with the results of our discussion."

Although they were a little aggrieved to be wrongly accused, Zhang Yuanshan, Jiang Zhiwei and others were from a big school and were too young to do anything against them, so they carried Ke Bijun's body on their backs, said goodbye, left the temple, and returned to the foot of the mountain.

If you can't enter the temple, how can you hold on until the last moment? While walking on the mountain road, Wang Jin, who had never had any communication with Meng Qi and others, suddenly said.

Zhang Yuanshan pondered for a while and said: I hope that the result of the negotiation will be good, and if you stick to the foot of the mountain, you are also sticking to Shaolin, but it is too dangerous. Well, Junior Brother Zhending, do you know the secret way into Shaolin

He didn't want to stick to the rules and wanted to sneak into Shaolin through a secret passage. Since this place was very similar to Shaolin in the main world, it seemed right to ask Meng Qi.

I have been in the temple for less than a year, so how could I know such secrets? Meng Qi had no choice but to answer.

Qi Zhengyan suddenly said in a low voice: "You can sneak into Shaolin while the barbarian army breaks through the pass, but you have to be careful beforehand."

Zhang Yuanshan sighed: Master Xinji was seriously injured. I doubt Shaolin's determination to stick to it. Maybe they will arrange for promising disciples to leave secretly with secret books, relics and other items. In that case, it doesn't matter whether we are spies or not, we will definitely be captured. Put in the temple.

I hope it will be as Brother Zhang said. Qi Zhengyan nodded.

Jiang Zhiwei, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: If we are unable to enter the temple and complete the main mission, then we will try our best to kill Doercha. In this way, each of us will have at least fifty good deeds. Plus the previous accumulation, it will be enough to deduct.

This, this is really a typical Jiang Zhiwei idea, Meng Qi slandered.

At this time, Zhang Yuanshan said solemnly: "Xiang Hui was replaced by the Hundred Changes Scholar, but we don't know. We talked a lot about the world of reincarnation in front of him, but why were we not wiped out?"

Perhaps in this case, the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation will tamper with the Everchanging Scholar's hearing. After all, it cannot remind us to be careful of traitors, and we are making unintentional mistakes. Meng Qi guessed.

As of now, the Variety Scholar is dead and he and others have not been wiped out, so this can only be explained.

During the discussion, several people returned to the inn, only to find a gloomy and gloomy atmosphere. Everyone was silent and fearful.

Hero Wei, what happened? Meng Qi greeted Wei Wuji who was not far away.

Wei Wuji walked over quickly, looked at Zhang Yuanshan, and said with shock and fear: Master Zhang, Master Lin has been killed.

No matter how calm Zhang Yuanshan was, he couldn't help but express surprise. Lin Bie Xue, who had just had tea and wine with him, was actually killed.

Yes, the book boy in charge of Mr. Lin saw that his time for meditation and breathing adjustment had passed, so he went in to clean up, only to find him lying on the bed, dead in a strange way. Wei Wuji said fearfully.

Take us there and have a look. Zhang Yuanshan ordered in a deep voice.

Meng Qi also thought this was very strange and had no objection. He followed them up to the second floor and entered Lin Bie Xue's room.

In the room, Lin Bie Xue lay silently on the bed, with a smile on his face, peaceful and quiet, as if he had been freed and reborn, without any pain. However, the skin and muscles below his neck were yellowing and shrinking, as if they had been mummified for many years. Death is extremely strange

This way of death seemed familiar, but not the same. Zhang Yuanshan looked at Jiang Zhiwei in confusion.

Jiang Zhiwei nodded, saying that she had similar feelings.

Bang, there was a sound from the door panel.

Meng Qi and others looked back and saw Xiao Zi backing away with a pale face, even hitting the opposite wall without feeling anything.

Xiao Sang, Xiao Sang is here too. She shook her head as if dreaming.
