Poor monks do not break the precepts

The dark mountain forest was filled with screams, the rich smell was covered by the smell of blood, the mud was gradually soaked in blood and became soft and sticky, and the bright red blood sprayed in the air, as if even the moonlight was smudged It became bloody.Even though they were blindfolded by the darkness, Huai Mingmo and others knew how miserable the surroundings were, and hell was nothing more than that.

The leader of the dark guards knew very well that outnumbered enemies would be a dead end, and thinking that this time would not work, and he would not survive if he went back, he planned to join forces to kill Huai Mingmo and Xu Sheng.It's just that they underestimated Xu Sheng's ability. Even though Huai Mingmo was slightly poisoned by acacia poisoning and was unable to move, Xu Sheng was able to protect Huai Mingmo safe and sound while dealing with them. Besieged the two, but still couldn't get close.

Xinli and the others tried their best to help Xu Sheng fend off the enemy not far away, but gradually realized that what they did was unnecessary.There were fewer and fewer hidden guards who came to assassinate, and a few people saw that the trip was hopeless, so they simply dropped their swords and surrendered on their knees.

"You said that counting the Pavilion Master and Chen Xiang, do we have any hope of defeating the Miao Monk together?" Luo Chen stood with arms folded, leaning leisurely against the tree trunk, completely forgetting about the current crisis.

After Xinli dealt with the last hidden guard around him, Luo Chen rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "You join those assassin camps now, and you'll know if you can try your strength."

Luo Chen squinted at Xinli, and said angrily, "Aren't you curious at all?"

Zheng Fengnian jumped to the side of the two, looked at the fighting figures in front of him through the sparse moonlight, and said with emotion: "With only [-]% of his strength, Monk Xu Sheng can handle it so easily while protecting the Pavilion Master, let alone the few of us. , the current leaders of the four major sects and the owner of the village may not be able to get much advantage from him."

The leader of the hidden guards beside him was entangled endlessly, and Xu Sheng became more and more irritable as he fought more and more, and his ultimate move gradually appeared. He inserted the Yuanmo sword straight into the clean seamless rock in the distance, flipped his wrist flexibly, and the move suddenly became ethereal and difficult to see.

Huai Mingmo was very familiar with the martial arts that Xu Sheng wanted to use, recalling the fight in Wentao Pavilion, he said worriedly: "Don't be brave."

Xu Sheng turned his head and glanced at Huai Mingmo, immediately understood the meaning of his words, a little annoyed, and said coldly: "Mind your own business."

Soon Huai Mingmo realized that he had really underestimated Xu Sheng, every palm that Xu Sheng gave at this time was totally different from Li Qiu's, and his internal strength was simply worlds apart.The leader of the dark guard had fought against Xu Sheng many times, and thought he had a thorough grasp of his martial arts attainments, but now he really knows what kind of person he has offended.

Xu Sheng cut off the meridians of a dark guard with two fingers, and said indifferently: "There is no way to hell, you have to come here by yourself."

The leaders of the dark guards looked at their colleagues writhing in pain on the ground, secretly horrified, but the offensive against Xu Sheng never stopped, and now they couldn't help themselves, they could only risk their lives.

Chen Xiang had almost cleaned up the people on his side, so he left his subordinates who were still fighting, and went to Xu Sheng's side alone to watch the battle.The leaders of the dark guards, who put life and death aside, tried their best, stopped being timid, and turned offense into defense, which was obviously much stronger than before.

When Xu Sheng was negligent for a while, the leaders of the dark guards attacked Xu Sheng with a tacit understanding, intending to kill him with one move.

Just as everyone was sweating for Xu Sheng, the war suddenly and silently ended. All the leaders of the secret guards fell to the ground one after another like the bleak autumn rain, and they were either dead or seriously injured. Only Xu Sheng supported Huai Mingmo and stood safely. Among them, said leisurely: "It's a pity that you are still a step late."

The rest of the dark guards who resisted to the death saw the leader fall, and became ants on the hot pot for a moment. Without a leader, they gave up resistance, and the sound of swords falling everywhere in the forest.

Xu Sheng looked silently at the surviving leaders of the hidden guards, who seemed to have sensed them, and crouched on the ground looking back, everyone didn't say a word, but seemed to say a thousand words.Long Jiu Xusheng sighed, bent down to pick up the dead leaves on the ground, and used his internal force to strike out, taking the lives of several leaders with one move.

Huai Mingmo didn't expect Xu Sheng to make a killing move, he was shocked, and said in a low voice: "After this battle, I don't think they will appear in the Jianghu again, let alone come to assassinate you and me. Why do you even have to live?" Not to them."

Xu Sheng heard the veiled reproach in Huai Mingmo's mouth, and said with a light smile, "If these were your people, I would definitely let them go. But his people, there is only one death."

"You..." Huai Mingmo's body was still poisoned, his body was weak and he couldn't stand still, a little agitated, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and almost fell down.

Xu Sheng hugged Huai Mingmo without any explanation, he used the right amount of force in his hand, not only giving Huai Mingmo to lean on, but also not giving him a chance to push him away.When walking past Chen Xiang, Xu Sheng stopped slowly, looked back at the corpses of the leaders, and said with regret: "Treat it the same as before."

There was also regret in Chen Xiang's eyes, and he said in a low mood: "This subordinate knows."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to bury the back of Mount Qi." Xiang Qing looked at the indifferent Xu Sheng and smiled, "It's really strange that you don't leave people a way to survive, but you set up monuments and bury them all. You even rescued them secretly." Their wives, children, old and young, arrange their residence and work, and take care of all the aftermath. I don’t know if you should be cruel, or the Buddhists are merciful.”

Xin Li half-stared and said strangely: "Good old Xiang, you have found so much, why didn't you report it."

Xiang Qing shrugged without fear, and said with a smile: "Once I report to the pavilion, my identity will be exposed immediately. Don't you know how many subordinates the Xuanji Pavilion has had over the years? It's not worth mentioning, I want to know what kind of organization is behind this wonderful monk."

Xiang Qing stared directly at Xu Sheng, with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, "Everyone calls you the landlord, just because you are the owner of the omniscient building? Where did the owner of the mountain building with secrets in the world come from?" Learned this skill? Why do those Confucian scholars in Wuxue Academy respect you so much? And how could the leader of the killer organization rumored in the Jianghu be your bodyguard? There are too many secrets about you."

Xu Sheng didn't see the annoyance he should have after being overthrown by someone, but he didn't reply, he just smiled slyly, "I guarded against so many people, but I missed you, the former commander of the forbidden army, what a mistake."

Carefully supporting Huai Mingmo to walk towards the omniscience building, Xu Sheng paid attention to the broken stones and sharp branches under his feet, and said with concern: "You are poisoned, come to me to cure the poison first."

Xiang Qing expected that Xu Sheng would deny him, but he was not as calm as he was. He was stunned for a moment, but he admired Xu Sheng's courage in his heart.

Not only Xiang Qing, but everyone else in Xuanji Pavilion was also very impressed with Xu Sheng. In the current predicament, it would be easy for Xu Sheng to kill them, but it was obvious that Xu Sheng had no such intentions.

It took only a while to go back and forth with lightness kung fu, and it was only when they were walking on two feet that they realized that the barren mountain road was difficult to walk. After walking for more than half an hour, the group of people finally returned to the stone tablet.Xu Sheng took Huai Mingmo and continued to move forward. When he reached the entrance of the cliff, he didn't go straight in. Instead, he walked along the cliff for a mile, and stopped when he saw that there was only a deep abyss ahead.

Xu Sheng embeds the ring in his hand into the mountain wall and twists it slightly, there is a mechanical sound in the mountain wall, and a secret door appears on the cliff.Xu Sheng glanced at Huai Mingmo, who was calmly beside him, and said with a faint smile: "You came here with me without saying a word, you are not afraid that I brought you here on purpose to push you off the cliff. There is an abyss below , if people fall from here, the bones may not be retrieved."

Xu Huai Mingmo regained his strength a little because of Xu Sheng's concentrated fragrance, and said with a smile: "If you say it, don't you give me a chance to guard against it."

The later generations are not like Huai Mingmo who has someone to support him. Now his legs and feet are weak, and he stands on the cliff with his will. No one knows when he will be unable to hold on and fall down the cliff.Luo Chen noticed that the two people in front were talking and laughing, and secretly complained, and couldn't help but said: "It's windy outside."

Xu Sheng looked back, except for Zang Li, those people were more or less poisoned by acacia poisoning, it is not suitable to stand here for a long time, he said: "Come with me."

Walking into the secret door is a stone step road that extends inwards. It goes up and down and has occasional bends. Fortunately, it leads all the way to the end. Even if Xu Sheng follows at the end, they will not get lost.Symmetrical crane stone platforms can be seen every five feet on both sides of the road. The crane's eyes are all inlaid with night pearls, and many fine pieces of water essence are embedded in the stone wall. There is no smell of candle smoke in the corridor, but it is as bright as day.

Xin Li said with emotion: "I thought that the withered grass hut was already extravagant enough. Only when I come here will I know what a small thing is."

Xu Sheng explained: "This has nothing to do with me, it's all the idea of ​​the old man in front."

The terrain under his feet was flat, Xu Sheng still didn't let go of Huai Mingmo, and Huai Mingmo didn't seem to notice, he let Xu Sheng take his arm and didn't raise it.Chen Xiang led the way, and after walking for about a bowl of tea, she gradually slowed down and said indifferently: "Walk a little further and you will be there."

When the road came to an end, Chen Xiang knocked rhythmically on several places on the wall, and the stone door gradually moved away from it.What presented before their eyes was a scene of a peach forest. The faint moonlight shines in from outside the tiankeng. The dark waterfall flows down like a nine-day Milky Way, and the water mist that flies out is lingering like smoke. The earth atmosphere in the tiankeng is warmer. , A large area of ​​rare flowers is planted beside the waterfall.There are several small buildings standing in it, and in one of them, servants come in and out from time to time, holding booklets or boxes in their hands.

Xiang Qing stood under the main building, looked up at the plaque and whispered: "Omniscient... So this is actually called Wuzhi Building."

After all the distinguished guests sat down in the central hall, several young servants walked in one by one with their eyes down. Each of them held a wooden tray in their hands. Luminous glass of clear water.

The young servant who came in first did not look up, and said in awe: "Report to the master, the antidote has been delivered. Mr. Bianji is still presiding over Wuyueye and can't get away, so let his subordinates come."

"Acacia poison among you, you only need to take the pills in the box mixed with water, and it will be cured within half a minute."

Zang Li saw that everyone had a share, except that there was nothing in front of her, and her mouth was quite dissatisfied. After a while, a little girl came in with a cup of milk tea and a few plates of pastries, and she brought them to the coffee table beside Zang Li, and immediately bowed and left Down.Zang Li saw all her favorite snacks, burst into laughter in an instant, and stuffed them all into her mouth regardless of whether the food was poisonous or not.

Xu Sheng looked at Zang Lichun's pure appearance with his cheeks propped up, and saw Huai Mingmo who remained motionless, and said with a smile: "Cowardly, it's not as good as your pavilion master and a little girl."

Just like what Xu Sheng said, within half an hour after taking the medicine, the poisoned people were able to move freely, and the remaining poison on their bodies disappeared.Xinli pushed open the small window and propped it up with a thin wooden pole. Looking at the servants coming and going from the warehouse with only a single-story building, he asked curiously, "What are they doing?"

Xu Sheng rolled his eyes and said, "Make a booklet."

Zheng Fengnian looked at it for a long time, and wondered: "Such a small warehouse can hold so many things?"

"Of course it can't fit." Xu Sheng helped Huai Mingmo clean up the scratches on his arm, and took the time to answer: "They are only responsible for sending things in, and the people in the house will use the mechanism made by Luban to send things down."

"There's another floor below this?!" Xin Li looked at Xu Sheng in surprise, and then looked outside the room.

Chen Xiang felt that Xin Li's unbelievable appearance was very funny, and said coldly: "There are two layers."

Luo Chen was always ridiculed by Xin Li for not being prudent, so after entering the cave, he kept pretending to be deep. Hearing what Chen Xiang said, he couldn't help but ask: "What are those two floors for?"

The secret of the Wuzhi Building is known to no one except a few important figures, let alone outsiders.Chen Xiang was speechless and didn't dare to answer, the room fell silent immediately, except for Zang Li who followed up with the ignorant question, everyone knew that Luo Chen asked a very abrupt question.

Helping Huai Mingmo clean up the wound, Xu Sheng helped him apply homemade wound medicine, and said with a smile: "On the first floor are famous calligraphy and paintings, jadeware, ornaments, rare medicinal materials, etc., as well as the account books of Wuzhilou's historical business operations. And the other floor is guarded by Chen Xiang's subordinates, it is full of martial arts and court secrets."

Huai Mingmo didn't care about the structure of the Wuzhi Building at all, so he pulled Xu Sheng to sit beside him, and he asked suspiciously: "Is the whole cave mechanism built by Master Lu Ban?"

Xu Sheng responded, "You discovered it first."

"Except for him, most people in the world probably don't have this ability." Huai Mingmo suddenly looked sad, and said melancholy: "It's a pity that I can't see the scenery of the Milky Way Waterfall, so I can only smell the fragrance of flowers all over the building."

Seeing Huai Mingmo's sudden depression, Xu Sheng, who claims to be ruthless, said stupidly, "I will help you draw."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xin Li, who had been persuaded before, was both surprised and happy. He thought it was just Huai Mingmo's wishful thinking, and he didn't think that Xu Sheng was not ruthless, but he was more restrained and restrained than the pavilion master.Looking at the two of them, Luo Chen felt more and more strange, and opened his mouth to break the current atmosphere, but was startled by Zheng Fengnian and Xiang Qing's staring shock, so he shivered and did not dare to speak.

Consciously slipping his tongue, Xu Sheng got up in embarrassment, and said in a calm tone with a little panic: "You guys ate a lot of rough food at Li Niang's place. If it spreads, it will definitely be said that I have not entertained you well."

Huai Mingmo suddenly realized: "It turns out that the inn at the foot of the mountain is also yours. No wonder the people in the entire inn are all masters."

Zheng Fengnian had an epiphany, "So the person in the guest room of the inn just now is Master Xusheng?"

Xu Sheng nodded affirmatively, and Xinli immediately understood why Xu Sheng came so quickly after they were in trouble.He stood up hastily, bent over politely, "Thank you Miao Monk for saving me."

Before Xinli could straighten up, a cold and cruel voice came from outside the house, "The landlord saved a few lives before, but now he has to stay."
