Pawn Crossing the River

A thousand miles begins with a single step.

No matter how difficult things are in this world, there are always people who have to give it a try. The ghost kingdom on this earth was built by humans.

In the same way, Zhang Yuelu also wanted to try to kill an ancient immortal completely.

Therefore, soon after Zhang Yuelu was promoted to the eighth deputy hall master, he led his men to leave Yujing and was responsible for wiping out a group of demons from the Lingshan Witch Cult.

Because Tiangang Hall has lost a deputy hall leader, which directly led to the resignation of the former headmaster Ning Lingge, Master Cihang, as the hall leader, assigned a second-grade spiritual officer to Zhang Yuelu to be responsible for Zhang Yuelu. safety.

Zhang Yuelu is not a person who doesn't know the importance of things. If something happens to her, it will undoubtedly affect her master's subsequent competition for the title of Grand Master, so she did not refuse.

Zhang Yuelu took the "Yinglong" and came to the sky over Yongzhou again.

The Taoist sect will not repeat the same mistakes. Just after the Jinque meeting, a first-grade innocent Taoist priest and two first-grade spiritual officials invaded Wu Luo's kingdom of the gods. Although they fought on Wu Luo's home court, the three of them had varying degrees of The injury required several years of recuperation, but it still cost Wu Luo a sufficient price. Now Wu Luo can only seal the Kingdom of God and lick the wounds silently. If Wu Luo still dares to come to the world rashly, then she will usher in her own death. of the first death.

This is undoubtedly a warning given by the Taoist sect to the ancient immortal. If any ancient immortal dares to cross the thunder pool, then the Taoist sect does not mind letting this ancient immortal sleep for the first time in his death, even if the sect has to pay some price for this, in terms of the Taoist sect's background, this price is not high enough. bearable.

"Yinglong" began to land.

There is a manor about two hundred miles away from where "Yinglong" landed.

This manor belongs to the local gentry, and many local dignitaries will gather here to have banquets and have fun. It is a kind of courtyard that is not a palace. After all, this is not open to the public and is a completely private place.

For many people in the world, this large manor is heavily guarded. The servants and guards inside are all top-notch masters. They are undoubtedly a existence like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. If you don't have the cultivation level of returning to true nature, breaking in rashly is courting death. Even if Even masters who are in the stage of returning to their true nature cannot guarantee that they will be able to escape unscathed.

However, for Daomen, this is just a not-so-thorny stronghold, suitable for training for rookies like Zhang Yuelu.

The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, the road must be walked step by step, and everything must have a process. Zhang Yuelu cannot be allowed to attack the main altar of Lingshan Witch Cult now. Even if Zhang Yuelu really has the ability to command and dispatch, it is not in line with the rules of the Taoist sect.

The Taoist sect has long known that this is the stronghold of the Lingshan Witch Cult, but has not touched it for various reasons. This has to be mentioned as a "cesspit" analogy. It is better to gather in one place and put it under one's own supervision than to destroy it. It's everywhere.

Now that the Taoist sect wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, it's time to do something about it.

Zhang Yuelu did not wear the crane cloak of the Daomen, but changed into the attire of a young master from a noble family. Thanks to her superb disguise, her voice, Adam's apple, and breasts were all perfect, making it impossible for anyone to tell that she was actually a woman.

Standing next to Zhang Yuelu was an armored man with a cloak covering his armor. He looked extraordinarily tall. He was the second-grade spiritual officer sent by Master Cihang.

Then there are the principals including Lingquanzi, Xu Kou, Sun Yongfeng and others. In addition, there are some new faces, all of whom were principals who used to work under Shangguan Jing.

Zhang Yuelu looked around the crowd and said: "Although I, as the deputy hall master, should not risk my life, I still want to see with my own eyes what the inside of this cult stronghold is like. If we break in directly, we will only have There are ruins all over the place and nothing can be seen.”

Naturally, Sun Yongfeng took the deputy hall master as his guide and immediately echoed.

Lingquanzi and others disagreed. The main reason was Zhang Yuelu's safety. If something happened to Zhang Yuelu, none of them would be able to escape the blame.

Zhang Yuelu did not emphasize his level of cultivation, but simply said: "We also have a second-grade spiritual officer, don't you think so, Xu Lingguan?"

Everyone fell silent.

Although spiritual officers are lower than Taoist priests, second-grade spiritual officers are much higher than fourth-grade Taoist priests, which means that only Master Cihang can mobilize them. In terms of rank, even Zhang Yuelu is not as good as this spiritual official.

Xu Lingguan said: "I will be responsible for the safety of Deputy Hall Master Zhang."

Since the spiritual officer whose status is much higher than others has said so, it is hard for others to say anything more.

Zhang Yuelu ordered: "I, Xu Lingguan, and Xu Kou, the three of us will go over, and the rest will wait at the predetermined location."

The rest of the people took the order in unison.

Zhang Yuelu had three horses brought over, got on his horse, and headed to the manor.

She did not plan to sneak into it, but to enter it openly. As for the problem of identity, it was never a problem for Daomen. Daomen could forge an identity without any flaws, and even had the ability to turn this fake identity into a real one. People who exist.

The identity used by Zhang Yuelu is a false identity that a Taoist sect has been operating for a period of time and has gained the trust of the cult demons. It is usually very mysterious and does not show its face. However, under this identity, it is the cooperation of several Taoist disciples. Through the Taoist sect, Huge financial resources create a false but extremely real character.

Zhang Yuelu used this identity not to pretend to be a pig but to see the true face of these cult demons. After all, the cult demons were trapped in a desperate situation and fought as trapped beasts, and the cult demons cried bitterly and repented after being caught. Monsters are not what they are.

Zhang Yuelu was very curious, why did these people go against the Taoist sect, why did they believe in the ancient immortals, and what should they be like in normal times? After all, if you want to eradicate these evil cults, you must first understand them. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger.

So Zhang Yuelu disguised himself as a young man from a noble family and came here with two followers.

The manor didn't have many doubts and gave the go-ahead happily.

The person who received Zhang Yuelu was an old and prudent butler. He had heard about the reputation of this fake identity and was very enthusiastic. At the same time, he said cryptically: "There are just a few competitions. I wonder if Mr. Lu is interested?"

The fake identity Zhang Yuelu used was Lu. He was a rich young man who had not seen much of the world. This time he came to open his eyes.

Zhang Yuelu raised his eyebrows without showing any timidity: "What kind of arena are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense, I don't understand."

It is understandable that the young master from an aristocratic family is not used to those slang words full of worldly wisdom. The housekeeper was not surprised and said: "There are some who box, some who play with weapons, and some who use fire guns. I wonder what the young master likes?"

Zhang Yuelu glanced at Xu Kou.

The reason why I brought Xu Kou with me was because Xu Kou used to be a Qingluan Guard, and he had been in the local Taoist government for a long time and had contact with various religions and nine streams, so he was more familiar with these Taoisms.

Xu Kou said: "Sir, generally speaking, fire guns end too quickly and weapons are too bloody. Boxing is better."

Zhang Yuelu nodded slightly: "Then boxing."

Under the guidance of this steward, Zhang Yuelu and the others entered a passage that slanted downwards. There were many forked roads in the passage, leading to different places.

The butler led the three people into one of the forks. At the end was a private room. The entire wall was covered with glass windows, which was very fashionable at the time. You could clearly see hundreds of people packed in, shouting at the top of their lungs at the ring. There were many women among them. Their faces were flushed, probably because of the atmosphere. They were not wearing middle coats and deliberately left the collars of their coats open to expose their waists.

Zhang Yuelu was stunned.

It turns out this is boxing.

There is no essential difference between fighting crickets, cocks, and dogs. It is nothing more than replacing chickens and dogs with real people.

Zhang Yuelu narrowed her beautiful eyes and concealed her unhappiness well.

The housekeeper explained: "Sir, these glasses are all single-layer glass shipped from the West. You can see the outside from the inside, but you can't see the inside from the outside."

Zhang Yuelu nodded.

The housekeeper pointed to a secret door in the corner and said, "If you want a girl..."

Just imagine,

"There's no need for vulgar fans." Zhang Yuelu was a conservative woman and refused without hesitation.

The butler said no more and said, "By the way, you can still place a bet."

Zhang Yuelu could no longer refuse and gave Xu Kou a look.

Xu Kou took out ten worry-free coins, equivalent to one hundred yuan of peace money, and said to the housekeeper: "Try the water first."

"I understand." The butler smiled happily. Although one hundred Taiping was not a lot, it was not a small amount either. After all, it was just the beginning and the days were still long. There was no need to worry about not having a lot of money.

The butler exited the private room.

Zhang Yuelu glanced at the expensive imperial concubine's couch that could accommodate two people, but did not sit down. He just stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his hands, looking at the arena below.

At this moment, the three people boarded the ring.

The host introduced the identities of the other two people. They were both well-known people in the world. They either owed money and were forced to enter the ring, or they were in urgent need of money and came here to box.

So it is conceivable that the other arenas use swords or fire guns, and maybe there are down-and-out Taoist disciples or soldiers of the men in black.

Zhang Yuelu said softly: "Dao Sect allows such a place to exist?"

"If the water is clear, there will be no fish." Xu Lingguan, who had been silent, said.

Zhang Yuelu was noncommittal.

Xu Kou said: "This kind of custom seems to have come from the west. After all, they are barbarians."

Zhang Yuelu sarcastically said: "Everyone

.

Said that the barbarians looked up to the saints for their enlightenment, but ended up being enlightened by them? Who are the barbarians? Don't blame your own problems on others. "

Xu Kou coughed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

While talking, the host had already left the ring, and the two Jianghu people officially started fighting.

At first, the two of them were a little cautious and kept going in circles, but soon the edges of the ring were burning with flames and began to slowly shrink towards the middle.

This forces the two of them to decide the winner before the arena turns into a sea of ​​​​fire, and they must use the most ferocious fighting style.

Coupled with the almost roaring and howling cheers from the surrounding audience.

The two finally fought together.

The punches hit the flesh and blood flew everywhere.
