Chapter 34 Branch Line
The "Various Scholar" is famous for his disguise, disguise and Qinggong. 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 was horrified to find 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, and knew that Zhang Yuanshan's martial arts was so superb that he was already innate and surpassed him. Therefore, after severely injuring Master Xinji in a sneak attack, he chose an escape direction to avoid Zhang Yuanshan. There was no attempt to break out from Xiao Zi, who had 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, whom 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 body movements as nimble and nimble as a ghost or a fox. He suddenly felt something in his heart and 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.
This step... Meng Qi suddenly felt that it looked familiar. It was similar to one of the eight steps of the Divine Walk!
So, he instinctively turned around and ducked 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 the "Eight Steps of Divine Movement".
The two are like dancing partners, dancing gracefully, constantly changing directions, but always standing opposite each other, with unpredictable grace.
This damn monk! The versatile scholar cursed in his heart. If he was given another time to breathe, he would definitely kill the young 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 mistyly, 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 change, 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 had no way to escape. able.
Seeing this, Meng Qi stepped forward and slashed his back with a knife, causing a deep wound.
Humph, I am 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, how are you doing, donor Kuang? We haven't seen you for ten years, but I lost my sight and failed to recognize the donor." Xinji walked up with a yellow face, but no one was helping him.
After the versatile scholar was captured, he knew that begging for mercy was ineffective, so he raised his head and laughed loudly: "Haha, Master Abbot's eyes are dim with old age, and he is no longer as prosperous as he used to be. However, the General attaches great importance to Master. If you can lead Shaolin to surrender, he will I must ask the Emperor to grant you the title of National Master and make Shaolin the first Buddhist temple, with everlasting incense and fertile land!"
"Leading beasts to eat people is what Shura did, and I am ashamed to be in the same company." Xinji's words are quite 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? That can only stop ordinary masters and soldiers. To the General, it is like walking on plain ground. , when the time comes, the pass will be in vain!" The Baibian scholar failed to bribe him, and immediately threatened, "Master Abbot, don't let Shaolin's thousand-year 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 about one thing. When there are masters who "transcend levels", if no one on his side can compete, ordinary mountain passes It has no effect at all. The master can completely go around, kill the guards, and open the passage for his accomplices to enter.
"Amitabha, there is no need to say anything to the donor. The foundation of Shaolin lies only in Buddhist philosophy and Zen." Xinji raised his sleeves and brushed the top of the versatile scholar's head with a skinny hand, "The war is coming, I can't hold back anymore."
"You, you actually want to kill someone!" The Variety Scholar was shocked and frightened. He also imagined that Jiang Zhiwei and Zhang Yuanshan wanted to kill him but the Shaolin monks stopped him, only to abolish his martial arts. "Where are your precepts? Where is your Buddha? General, sir. Coming soon, you will die without a place to die!”
"Amitabha, the Buddha has a compassionate heart and a diamond-like angry eyes." Xinji said in a calm and calm tone, and lightly brushed the top of the versatile 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 'Variety Scholar' among the four innate masters of the enemy camp. Jiang Zhiwei will be rewarded with thirty good deeds, Zhang Yuanshan and Zhending will each be rewarded with twenty good deeds, and Qi Zhengyan and Wang Jin will each be rewarded with ten good deeds."
"Description of side mission: Kill one of the four innate masters of the enemy camp. Participants will receive corresponding good merit rewards based on task difficulty, strength comparison, and level of contribution."
"The second side mission starts: kill the general Doercha. Participants will be rewarded with good deeds ranging from 50 to 200 depending on their contribution!"
"This, this is a side mission?" Meng Qi was a little in disbelief.
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 got 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 indignation and said, "You spies actually brought the scholar Bai Bian into the temple and harmed the abbot." ! What else is there?”
One by one, the chief elders stepped forward, seemingly planning to capture Meng Qi and others.
Before Zhang Yuanshan opened his mouth to defend, Xinji waved his sleeves and said, "Don't be so excited. The donors are not spies. They were just deceived by the Baibian Scholar. If they were spies, when the Baibian Scholar attacked Lao Na just now, Ruo Jiang, the donor, , Zhang Donor took action at the same time, and with their strength, Lao Na may 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 several donors are unclear. Maybe most of them are indeed righteous men, but who can say that there are no changes in the world?" Are they people like scholars? If they weren’t exposed just now, maybe they just have far-reaching intentions and shouldn’t be allowed to stay in the temple for a long time.”
"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 inconvenient for several donors to hear about it. I also ask a few 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 big schools and were still young and could not do anything to turn 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?" Wang Jin, who had never had any communication with Meng Qi and others, suddenly said while walking on the mountain road.
Zhang Yuanshan pondered for a moment and said: "I hope the outcome of the negotiation will be good, and if you stick to the mountain, you will also stick 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, how could I know such secrets." Meng Qi replied helplessly.
Qi Zhengyan suddenly said in a low voice: "Then you can sneak into Shaolin while the barbarian army breaks through the pass. You have to be careful beforehand."
Zhang Yuanshan sighed: "Master Xinji is 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. I'm sure It will be put into the temple.”
"I hope it's as Senior Brother Zhang said." Qi Zhengyan nodded.
Jiang Zhiwei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "If we are unable to enter the temple and complete the main mission, then we will try 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 sneered.
At this time, Zhang Yuanshan said solemnly: "Xiang Hui was replaced by the Variety Scholar and we didn't know it. We talked a lot about the world of reincarnation in front of him, but why weren't we 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 the 'traitor', and we made an unintentional mistake." 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.
"Master Wei, what happened?" Meng Qi called to Wei Wuji who was not far away.
Wei Wuji walked over quickly, looked at Zhang Yuanshan, and said in shock and fear: "Master Zhang, Master Lin has been killed!"
"What?" No matter how calm Zhang Yuanshan was, he couldn't help being surprised. Lin Bie Xue, who had just had tea and wine with him, was actually killed?
"Yes, Mr. Lin's book boy 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 over 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 relieved and reborn, without any pain, but the skin and muscles below his neck were yellowing and shrinking, as if he had been mummified for many years and died. The situation is extremely strange!
"This way of death looks 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 dreamily.
