The sermon lasted until midnight. Everyone was intoxicated with the devil's way and was so crazy that those who came to the back had already forgotten about wanting to join the sect of the martial arts hall.
"This sermon has ended here. Everyone is trying to figure it out. Don't be careless." As soon as Chu Xiang finished speaking, demons danced around the scene. Everyone shouted loudly, not letting Chu Xiang leave and letting him continue to explain the magic method. Excited, like a ghost before a demon.
Unexpectedly, the situation would evolve to this point, and Chu Xiang was shocked. If someone mishandled the situation and caused a riot on the scene, there would be a person who tried the magic method on the spot.
Just when Chu Xiang was thinking about how to deal with it, suddenly there was the sound of chanting sutras: Namo Ajuye, Polu Jiedi, Shuo Boluoye...
The sound of the chanting was uniform and consistent, with a gentle rhythm, penetrating the heart and mind, like sweet rain falling, refreshing the heart. The sound was not loud, but it suppressed the chaos of the demons in the scene. After the chanting of the sutra, the wind was gentle and smooth, completely suppressing the evil thoughts in everyone's hearts, the turbulent emotions were extinguished, everyone was calm and peaceful, and left the Half-Moon Pavilion in an orderly manner.
When everyone was leaving, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "The bald donkey who aids the tyrants deserves to die."
When Chu Xiang heard this, he saw a man standing with a knife on the roof in the distance, and a group of ascetic monks sitting cross-legged on the ground, clasping their hands and saying nothing.
"My Buddha is merciful." An ascetic said with his hands together.
Chu Xiang frowned. This person was speaking out without shame. It was obvious that some people deliberately interfered and rebuked the ascetic monks who were maintaining order on the spot, intending to slander Nanhua Villa as a demon. These people's intentions were negotiable, but it was better to speak out. The ascetic monk responded quickly, put aside the dog shit covering his head with an ordinary "Buddha's mercy", corrected his position, and at the same time sarcastically criticized the person who had evil intentions.
"Hypocrisy of benevolence and righteousness cannot be tolerated by heaven." The man shouted again.
At this moment, a sword light lit up from the roof of the building next door, and the man who drew the sword said in a gloomy voice: "Conspiracy and treachery, spouting feces, die." The word "death" fell, the figure crossed the air, and the sword light shrouded the person yelling at the curse. A monk.
The sword flashed brightly, and figures criss-crossed the scene. After a few moves, the man who cursed the ascetic monk was killed with one sword.
After killing those who shouted and cursed the ascetic monks, the swordsman bowed his hands in the direction of Chu Xiang, jumped off the roof, and floated away.
Chu Xiang had a headache due to the sudden change. There were too many unexpected things today. What he didn't expect the most was the intervention of the ascetic monks from Nanhua Villa. The young host's method was still so unexpected, his entry into the situation was like a stroke of genius, and even he didn't notice any signs at all.
The man who yelled at the ascetic monk was obviously a puppet of those people. Who was the person who killed that man? Chu Xiang couldn't think of it even after thinking about it. After one month of leaving Wucheng, he had already seen the changes in the situation in Wucheng. Unclear.
The next day, a video of Chu Xiang explaining the magic way spread throughout the streets. Countless people watched the video and imitated it. A trend of becoming possessed by demons formed throughout the country. Bad incidents increased significantly, causing a headache for the military government.
Just when everyone was obsessed with the devil and looking for traces of Chu Xiang, Chu Xiang had already left Wucheng. Chu Xiang was not afraid of being attacked again, but the situation in Wucheng was too chaotic. He didn't want to continue to mix in this muddy water, and at the same time, he took this opportunity to increase his own strength.
The snow in the valley has melted, and the green grass and flowers have released the energy accumulated over the winter, making the entire valley full of life.
The dark and bottomless entrance of the cave was still filled with misty cold air, and the creek in front of the cliff was flowing. Nothing had changed. Although the aura in the cave was extremely restrained, Chu Xiang clearly felt its presence this time.
Sitting on the hillock, Chu Xiang was waiting.
Suddenly Chu Xiang's cell phone rang, a number that did not exist in the address book, but Chu Xiang remembered the owner of this number - Song Ming.
"Wait for me for two days." Song Ming's voice became more steady.
"Okay." Chu Xiang didn't ask why.
Chu Xiang was waiting for someone.
At dawn, two figures appeared in the valley. Gongsun Qi and Shi Wuzheng arrived on time.
"This place is a bit weird. There isn't even a mutant beast." Shi Wuzheng said to Chu Xiang as soon as he arrived.
"With such a powerful aura, it's strange that those little animals dare to come." Gongsun Qi frowned.
"When I first broke through, I came here, but I didn't dare to take action. Now it seems that it is still a bit difficult." Chu Xiang said.
"With the combined strength of the three of us, we only have a three-point chance at most." Gongsun Qi said seriously.
Chu Xiang nodded and said, "Wait a moment, someone else is coming."
The two sat down and waited for another day. The three of them talked about martial arts and studied moves together. It was not boring at all, and the day passed quickly.
After waiting for two days, near noon, Song Ming called and said they were almost there.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Xiang said: "The last time someone from the military was injured, he was participating in a military operation. When he came here, he was severely injured by the guys inside and almost died."
"What's inside?" Shi Wuzheng asked.
"A zombie."
"Zombie! Is there really such a thing?" Shi Wuzheng asked in shock.
"What's so strange? There are so many strange things in this world." Gongsun Qi said with a smile, not feeling strange at all.
While the three of them were talking, the roar of fighter jets came overhead. A Su-27 passed overhead at low speed, only tens of meters away from the heads of the three of them. The roar of the engine was so deafening that you could almost see the people above.
Suddenly, a black shadow fell from the fighter plane, and a powerful aura appeared in the three people's senses. The three people looked up and saw that one person fell to the ground like a meteor, thrust into the mountain bag, and inserted into a hole several meters deep.
All three of them were moved.
"Hey, come and pull me out quickly." The person in the cave shouted.
The three of them were shocked and made no move.
"Children these days are really uneducated. When they see an old man fall, they don't come to help him." A strong voice came from the cave, and a middle-aged man with a strong figure jumped out and slapped him hurriedly. of dust.
Seeing the person who jumped out clearly, Shi Wuzheng's face was filled with joy, he stepped forward and clasped his fists in salute, saying, "Hello, senior."
Seeing that Shi Wuzheng knew the visitor, Gongsun Qi and Chu Xiang looked at each other and stepped forward to say hello.
"It turns out it's you, a melon kid." The majestic middle-aged man glanced at Shi Wuzheng and exclaimed, "It's incredible, it's incredible, your future life is to be feared."
Looking at Chu Xiang and Gongsun Qi again, the majestic middle-aged man took two steps back in fright and shouted: "A bunch of perverts."
"Senior is joking." Shi Wuzheng said respectfully: "They are my friends, Gongsun Qi and Chu Xiang."
"This is senior Zhang Zhenbian, known as Baji Invincible." Shi Wuzheng introduced to Chu Xiang and Gongsun Qi.
"Hello, senior." Chu Xiang and Gongsun Qi saluted the majestic middle-aged man with clasped fists.
"Oh! You are Chu Xiang!" The majestic middle-aged Zhang Zhen turned to look at Chu Xiang with interest.
"Senior, what advice do you have?" Chu Xiang said, cupping his fists.
"Sure enough, people should not be judged by their appearance." Zhang Zhen said while stroking his beard.
"There's another guy coming, please take it easy later." Zhang Zhen said, his words seem to be in the clouds, but he meant something.
Chu Xiang thought for a moment and understood that what Zhang Zhen was referring to was probably the enmity between himself and the Tai Chi Sect. A master from the Tai Chi Sect would come later.
"Thank you, senior, for your advice." Chu Xiang said.
"You're a good boy. Let's practice after we're done." Zhang Zhen said.
"I'm very happy." Chu Xiang said gratefully.
Zhang Zhenbian's intention was obvious, he wanted to protect Chu Xiang.
While the four of them were talking, an engine roared from the south of the valley. A moment later, a convoy came to the top of the mountain.
A man jumped out of the car, bowed to Zhang Zhen and said, "Hello, senior." The person who came was none other than Song Ming.
Following Song and Ming, another person jumped out of the chariot. This person held an ancient compass in his hand, carried an ancient sword with pine patterns on his back, and had a long cloth bag hanging from his waist. His two long eyebrows hung down to both sides, reaching his cheeks. He was dressed up as half a monk and half Tao, a little nondescript.
"You guys arrived early, it's rare." The middle-aged man holding the compass in his hand smiled at Zhang Zhen.
"I'm not a lazy guy like you." Zhang Zhen scolded.
The middle-aged man holding the compass in his hand ignored Zhang Zhenbian's scolding, turned to Chu Xiang and said, "This little brother must be Chu Xiang."
"It's me, what do you call me, senior?" Chu Xiang was a little surprised as to why this person came to him directly. Judging from the words of this person, he was a person of the same level as Zhang Zhenbian, but it seemed that he was not the person Zhang Zhenbian was talking about. Chu Xiang did not dare to make any mistakes and saluted with clasped fists.
"My name is Qin Santang. Let's have a chat later." said the middle-aged man holding a compass in his hand.
"It's an honor." Chu Xiang said respectfully. He was a little confused. Zhang Zhen showed his support when he came, probably because of Shi Wuzheng's sake, but this strange middle-aged man he didn't know also acted like this when he came, leaving him a little confused.
"Shi Wuzheng and Gongsun Qi are very good." Qin Santong looked at the two of them and nodded.
"Senior, you are so complimentary." Shi Wuzheng and Gongsun Qi saluted.
While a few people were talking, Song Ming directed the troops in the convoy to unload all kinds of equipment and prepare for various matters.
Fortunately, when Chu Xiang looked at everyone in the convoy, he happened to meet the eyes of a woman. Chu Xiang quickly turned his head and pretended he didn't see him. He had no choice but to call that person Xiaoting.
Cover your ears and steal the bell.
Chu Xiang seemed to hear a woman's voice saying.
In the midst of embarrassment, not wanting to understand why Xiaoting appeared here, Chu Xiang suddenly saw a figure flashing on the hilltop to the east, a figure coming in the wind and snow, his sleeves fluttering, feeling indescribably calm and comfortable for a moment. In the meantime, we have crossed several hills and come to the front.
The visitor came to the ground and was dusty. He was dressed in gray clothes, had a square face and a broad forehead, and a beard a foot long. He was about forty years old. His smile was like the spring breeze, which made people feel good. But when they saw Chu Xiang , his expression changed, and there was suddenly a tense atmosphere in the air.
"Hey, you have a bad temper. You wink at the juniors as soon as you come here." Zhang Zhenbian suddenly said in a strange and sinister tone.
The visitor looked away, laughed, clasped his fists in salute and said, "Brother Zhang, Brother Qin, long time no see."
"Yes, Brother Chen, long time no see, business is important." Qin Santong nodded.
"Of course." The visitor said.
Unexpectedly, both of them intended to support Chu Xiang. The visitor was a little surprised. Zhang Zhen did not deal with him and often acted against him. This attitude was not surprising, but Qin Santong also protected Chu Xiang, which made him a little confused. clear.
"Then let's stop talking and let's get started." Qin Santong said, holding the compass and walking towards the cave. Zhang Zhenbian and the man surnamed Chen followed to protect Qin Santong.
Everyone watched quietly as Qin Santong walked up and down the valley holding the compass, counting with his fingers, not knowing what he was doing.
After walking around the valley, Qin Santong pointed to the way he came and said to Song Ming: "The convoy withdraws to the mountain pass over there, lay down artillery fire, and aim at this mountain bag."
Song Ming didn't know what was going on, so he nodded in agreement and commanded the convoy.
The convoy retreated to the mountain pass. Chu Xiang suddenly felt much more relaxed without a pair of needle-pricking eyes of a certain woman behind him.
"The most dangerous things in this valley are the things inside the cave and the things under our feet. Please pay attention at all times." Qin Santong said to everyone.
After the convoy was arranged, Qin Santong said to the middle-aged man surnamed Chen: "Brother Chen, please go and lead it out."
"clear."
"Brother Zhang, after Brother Chen lures it out later, you two will join forces to see if you can control it." Qin Santong said to Zhang Zhen.
"Okay." Zhang Zhen nodded.
"Then let's start." Qin Santong said.
The man surnamed Chen walked towards the cave, put his hands on his back, and entered the cave leisurely, as if he was going in for fun. Qin Santong warned: "Brother Chen, be careful."
"Who is this person?" Chu Xiang asked Shi Wuzheng in a low voice after the man named Chen entered the cave.
"It should be the third elder of the Chen family, named Chen Ying. He handles most of the external affairs of the Chen family." Shi Wuzheng said in a low voice.
"Young man, I heard that you are cruel and ruthless. You don't want to take the opportunity to do something evil to him." Zhang Zhen's ears were sharper than a dog's and he glared at Chu Xiangdao.
"How dare you, how dare you, even if you do it, you have to do it in a place where no one is around." Chu Xiang said.
"Hey, you dare to tell the truth, aren't you afraid that I will snitch on you?" Zhang Zhen was amused.
"Senior is an aboveboard person, how can he do such sneaky things." Chu Xiang said, flattering loudly.
"You are indeed very eloquent. No wonder you can convince so many people of your evil ways." Zhang Zhen looked at Chu Xiangdao carefully.
"Senior is so complimentary." Chu Xiang said with a bitter smile.
