"My surname is Song Mingyou. I am from Lingquan County, Yizhou. I traveled down the mountain and came here." Song You approached and replied, "I happened to be passing by here without food and water, and there were no villages in front or behind. I came to ask, and then I had the chance to break through. He succeeded in what the Ding family wanted to do and also foiled his subordinate’s plan.”
"Since we bumped into each other accidentally, if we leave like this, I can pretend that it never happened. Thinking about the fate, I can also treat my Taoist friends to a cup of tea."
"I'm afraid not."
"Don't ask about other people's affairs in the world. People who are nosy will die young. Since my Taoist friends are traveling down the mountain, they must also know that this place is no better than Yizhou. The world is in chaos, but don't try to stand out."
"I have believed in the way of heaven for generations, and know that there is God's will in the dark. Since I have come here, how can I sit back and do nothing?" When Song You was talking, he had already approached. He was a few meters away from the gravedigger and the tomb. He stopped a few feet away and said, "I have seen the body of the deceased grandson of the Ding family. He was killed by a spell. I can't help but be curious. Not only do I want the body and soul of the young lady of the Cao family, I also want to share it with the body and soul of the Ding family." I don’t know what’s the point of burying deceased and grandson together?”
"What do you want, fellow Taoist?"
"Aren't you willing to give me advice?"
"..."
The gravedigger stuck his shovel in the ground, looked up at Song You under the starlight, and saw his calm face. He then looked at the swordsman behind him and the sword in his hand, then lowered his gaze slightly and looked at the sword. The calico cat stopped at the Taoist's feet and looked at him, thinking in his mind and weighing in his heart.
"If fellow Taoist fellow Taoist disciples can't stand how I dig graves and take out corpses, I'll just leave right now."
"I'm afraid not."
"Then what do fellow Taoists think?"
"First I killed Ding's eldest and grandson, and then killed several people in the Ding family. I concocted the theory that ghosts are harming people. I spent so much effort to force the Ding family to buy a young lady from the Cao family for a ghost marriage. I don't know. Is the secret behind it a secret marriage, or the resentment of the young lady of the Cao family?" Song You continued to ask, "I am very curious, and it would be great if you are willing to tell me the secret."
The calico cat at his feet listened intently, still confused.
I don’t understand. I don’t understand.
"If I want the poor Taoist to explain, my Taoist friend must first state his intention. If you are just curious about the poor Taoist cultivation method, then it will be easy to explain..."
When the calico cat heard this, his ears pricked up.
However, all he saw was that the Taoist waved his sleeves.
"brush……"
A gust of wind blew up dust and dust, blowing up the ashes in front of the grave and blowing out the candles.
At the same time, a dark crow flew from behind him, almost blending into the night sky, like an arrow off the string, shooting straight towards Song You.
"brush……"
The cat seemed to have no need to react and jumped up instantly.
If you have a keen eye, you can see her jumping movements and graceful figure stretching in the air, turning into a long one, with her right front paw stretched out high. Just when the crow flew, this paw Just enough to grab the crow's belly, not missing a beat.
"puff!"
Just like she usually catches birds, she easily caught the crow.
Everything happens in an instant.
When the Taoist who dug the grave came to his senses, he found that his crow had been pinned to the ground by the calico cat and had its neck bitten.
"?"
The calico cat seemed to have just reacted. He quickly let go of the crow's neck, lowered his head and stared at the crow. Then he immediately turned to look at Song You, and then at the gravedigger opposite.
Looking at that expression, it seemed as if everything just now was just her instinctive behavior. In fact, she didn't understand where the crow came from or how she caught it.
"Good job."
The grave digger said something, then took two steps back and pulled some weeds from the side.
They were dead grass from last winter, already dry, and he took it in his hand and rubbed it gently, crushing it easily.
However, these crushed withered grass did not fall into dregs. Instead, they all turned into moths or insects, flying towards the Taoist one after another.
The gravedigger’s eyes narrowed slightly——
Don't look at it as just a small insect transformed into an illusion. In fact, as long as it bites you and injects poison, no matter how strong you are, you will feel unbearable pain. Within a few breaths, you will lose the ability to resist, and even if you escape, you will still be there. The whole body festers and dies within a day. The only disadvantage is that the insects fly slowly and are easily avoided or stopped by people in the world during the day.
But it was night at this time, which was suitable for this move.
However, calico cats can see at night.
By the light of the stars, it was like day in her eyes.
"Meow?"
I saw the calico cat instantly slapped the crow under him, knocking it into a coma. After decisively giving up on it, it took a few steps forward, jumped up high, and hit the two flying insects in front of it with one claw at a time. Shoot to death.
The swordsman also stepped out almost at the same time, standing in front of the Taoist, unsheathing his long sword. With his ability, he didn't even need to look at anything. He just relied on the subtle sounds in the air and danced his sword at will, killing a few flying insects.
All the fallen flying insects turned into crumbled withered grass.
The calico cat also landed on the ground. When he looked up, he saw that there were still many insects flying towards him. He turned to look at the Taoist priest behind him and opened his mouth to spit out the food without hesitation.
"call……"
A large canopy of flames illuminated a large area of mountain forest.
The progress of Sanhua Empress's fire technique is not slow, and the flames she spits have already possessed spirituality. These flying insects are originally made of withered grass, and if they can withstand the burning, they will turn into ashes in an instant. The flame even reached the gravedigger's face with an astonishing temperature, making him feel hot all over his body.
When the gravedigger Taoist saw this, he was immediately shocked. He knew that this was a cat demon with good Taoism and magic skills, but he still managed to stay calm: "My fellow Taoist is really good! No wonder he dares to interfere with injustice! I wonder where he inherited his master?"
"I've already told you my past history, but I didn't even tell you my name, which is really rude."
"Pindao's common name is Li. He has acquired the practice method accidentally. If fellow Taoists are interested, Pindao can share it with fellow Taoists."
"I'm just curious, not interested."
"Whether it's curiosity or interest, Taoist fellow Daoist has not seen what happened today. Pindao also put the body back into the coffin and buried the grave, so he told fellow Taoist all about it. How about it?"
"I already have the answer in my heart."
"Fellow!"
The Taoist Taoist who dug the grave immediately frowned: "We are all people who practice the Tao. Cultivation is not easy. They all have their own methods and inheritance. Why should they be beaten to death for some trivial things?"
"Oh?" Song You became interested instead, "Does your step have any inheritance? I wonder where it is?"
"But it's inconvenient to tell you."
"It seems he lied to me."
"What do you mean, fellow Taoist?"
"Nothing is trivial between life and death."
"Fellow Taoist is too arrogant!" The gravedigger Taoist's expression condensed, "Then let's see what other abilities Taoist Taoist has besides being a cat demon who has gained Taoism!"
"Please take action."
If ordinary people saw it, they would probably not think that this was a fight to the death between the two, but rather like an arranged communication.
"What pleasure, why pain!"
The Taoist Taoist who dug the grave shouted, pinched the magic formula with his hands, and took another step back.
"Kill them!"
The two figures behind him suddenly had sharp eyes, as if they had come to life. They each held weapons and walked towards Song You.
"Human puppetry?"
"Tao is friendly and knowledgeable!" the gravedigger Taoist snorted coldly and narrowed his eyes, "These two were the first-class masters in the world during their lives. They had the ability to slay demons and ghosts. After being acquired by the poor Taoist, they carefully made human puppets. Although It lacks some of the flexibility and changes that it had during life, but it is not afraid of life and death, does not know pain, and is inaccessible with swords and guns, as well as water and fire, so please be careful, fellow Taoist!"
Before Song You could say anything, the gray-clothed swordsman stepped out with a calm expression on his face.
The two sides were close to each other. The distance between them was only a few feet, not to mention that after the two sides met their eyes, they exploded with all their strength and collided with each other in an instant.
"brush!"
The tall man slashed with a knife.
The fat man struck with a hammer from an angle.
The blade was sharp and had the potential to split a mountain. When it passed through the air, you could hear a hissing sound, as if the air was being split.
The hammer is even more powerful and heavy. The strong man uses all his strength to swing it sideways, making a whining sound. If it hits the body, he will be crushed into a pulp with just one hammer. If he squeezes it with his hands, he will be crushed. Can be made into meatballs.
"snort……"
The gray-clothed swordsman was very calm, as if taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard. He swung his sword to deflect the tall man's blade, then took a step to the side and leaned away to avoid the fat man's hammer.
Almost at the same time, the sword turned into a flower in his hand.
A sword swept across, with a force that was hard to resist with gold and stone.
"laugh……"
The tall man's head fell to the ground.
The fat man raised his hands to beat the hammer, then turned around and swung it again.
The gray-clothed swordsman didn't even bother to bend down. He only took a step back, and the hammer that was supposed to crush his head was just swung in front of his face.
"Woo..."
The wind brought by the hammer is colder than the iron.
It seemed like a casual dodge, but in fact the gray-clothed swordsman was retreating, and the man holding the hammer was also moving forward, but the hammer just couldn't hit him, which revealed a very high sense of distance and absolute confidence.
The hammer is so powerful and heavy that it is difficult to withstand it. Even the best swordsmen dare not fight head-on. However, regardless of the weapons or martial arts in the world, there are gains and losses. Huge power is obtained by flexibility. This hammer swing is destined to fail. Turn around quickly like a sword and swing again. Human puppets are not as clever as living people. When he reacted and wanted to swing the hammer back, there was already a sword light in front of him.
The light of the sword is like snow and spring thunder.
Its momentum is like thunder, fast and fierce, it is in front of you in an instant, and it contains great power.
"brush!"
Another head fell to the ground.
Easy and clean.
Just like that night three years ago, when the evil thing crawled out of the coffin, it was so simple under the sword of the swordsman.
At that time, the swordsman already had a peerless style, but three years later, he was no longer the same as before.
Storytellers from all over the world are indeed right. When they meet by chance in the rivers and lakes, how many people dare to say that they can survive under that Shu Yifan's sword? Two dead masters of the world met the best swordsman in the world, so the so-called invulnerability became a joke.
"..."
The gray-clothed swordsman shook his head and flicked his wrist. The seemingly effortless movement was extremely powerful. The sword was shaken so much that it was almost deformed. With a clatter, the blood and flesh stained on the sword were instantly shaken off.
The gravedigger had just grabbed a handful of dead grass, and before he could rub it, his eyes widened.
He never expected that both of his puppets would be beheaded in just an instant.
"You...who are you?"
"Shu Yifan."
The gray-clothed swordsman bent down and picked up the hammer on the ground.
"Thunder Sword Shu Yifan!" The Taoist Gravedigger had obviously heard of Shu Yifan's name. After a brief shock, he couldn't help laughing, "Haha, who would have thought? The world's best swordsman, who is famous all over the world, could actually I am a follower of a wandering Taoist from Yizhou, and I am not afraid of making people laugh if word spreads!"
"..."
Shu Yifan didn't answer and immediately threw the hammer.
This special long-handled pumpkin hammer doesn't look big. In fact, even the long handle is made of solid iron. It weighs at least ten or twenty kilograms. But in Shu Yifan's hand, it looks like it's made of wood. With a shake of his hand, he was immediately thrown towards the gravedigger. Only the whining sound of the hammer spinning in the air could explain its weight.
The Taoist Gravedigger knew a lot of spells, but he didn't know any martial arts. When he saw this, he had no choice but to pounce to the left and evade in a hurry.
However, there was no light in the middle of the night, and it was difficult to see clearly from a little distance away. Little did he know that the hammer was hitting his left side.
If you don't dodge, you won't hit!
This time he hid, it was as if he had been sent to the door!
Funny to say, it was he who blew out the candles in front of the grave, hoping to steal some convenience from the darkness, but unexpectedly, the darkness became his own talisman.
"Bang!"
A dull sound.
Not to mention a human being, no matter if he is a black bear or a tiger, he cannot withstand this blow. Even if his body is made of iron both inside and outside, he will still be smashed into a hole.
The gravedigger immediately fell down and became motionless.
The swordsman also arrived almost at the same time——
The long sword in his hand was covered with frost. When he stabbed it, it didn't feel like it was piercing into flesh, but like it was piercing into wood.
I bent down and looked through the stars, where were the people?
It was just a human-shaped piece of wood, wearing loose Taoist robes, with many talismans attached to it, and its waist was smashed to pieces by the hammer.
There were footsteps behind me.
"gentlemen."
The swordsman immediately turned his head.
But when Song You stretched out his hand, a piece of talisman flew up automatically and fell into his hand. Song You lowered his head to check and said without surprise: "This person is very alert. It's just a dummy."
"No wonder you are so calm..." The swordsman nodded, "Sir, you already knew this?"
"I am also good at this."
"The real body shouldn't be far from here, right?"
"His feet are also very knowledgeable."
"Shu, let's go find him now!"
A peerless swordsman, full of courage, and the demeanor of a knight-errant, he must go looking for him in the dark with his sword in hand.
"That's not necessary."
Song You stopped him, held the talisman and continued to look at it and said: "The mountains are thick and forested, and it is difficult to see at night. It is too troublesome to find. Besides, there are other things in the village, so there is no rush."
"That……"
"It's just right. I don't know which way to go from now on. I'll go look for him in two days." Song You said, "By the way, let's see if he really has an inheritance, or just casually said that he has an inheritance and what kind of inheritance it is."
"yes!"
The swordsman nodded, stuck the sword on the ground, and picked up the shovel next to him.
