"Help you kill someone?" Ruan Dandan asked Chu Zongyang's words again: "I heard that you, Peng Ou, always walk alone in the world. Why do you want to find a helper today?"
"Kuao Noise." With lightning speed, Chu Zongyang pulled out a straight knife from behind and put it on Ruan Dandan's neck: "I, Peng Ou, don't need to explain the reasons to outsiders for doing things, but this time I can make an exception and tell you You, the reason why I seek you and me to join forces is because I alone am not sure about the target to kill."
(This sword is not the Xichen sword. Although almost no one in the world knows the Xichen sword, Chu Zongyang still prepared a Fantie as his main weapon just to be on the safe side)
"You are not sure about your strength...Who are you going to kill? Gu Mingkong? Zou Yi? Lu Lingyuan?"
The people Ruan Dandan thought of were all well-known figures in the world, and they were all masters at the head level of the major sects in the world. Although Chu Zongyang is strong, it is indeed difficult to defeat these people easily.
However, Chu Zongyang's answer was far beyond her expectation: "No, speaking of which, you have also seen my target, the storyteller you met on the first day of May on the Chengnan Commercial Street."
Since the battle in Pufu, Chu Zongyang had found out Yun Ming's origins very efficiently, and also learned about the conflict between Ruan Dandan and Pu Cha Shi because of Yun Ming.
"Is that storyteller hiding something secret? Didn't even I notice that he had internal power?" Ruan Dandan still had an impression of Yun Ming, but she did not think that Yun Ming was actually a hidden boss.
"No, I think he is just an ordinary person."
Ruan Dandan didn't believe it: "How could it be?" Her question contained two meanings: first, how could the target worthy of Chu Zongyang's mobilization of troops be an ordinary person, and second, how could Chu Zongyang still need help when dealing with a commoner.
"I have a reason to kill him." Chu Zongyang didn't want to explain more. In fact, he couldn't explain it. He himself didn't know why he would be so murderous towards someone he only met once. "This man's name is Yun Ming. He has been hiding in Pufu for several days. It is not safe for me to sneak in alone. I need your help."
"Is it Pu Mansion again?" Ruan Dandan's astute element noticed: "On the second day of May, Master Wharton died in Pu Mansion by dirty hands. Is it you who did it?"
"Yes, and I can tell you that the people who hired me to assassinate Wharton were the Xijian Sect and the Four Elephants Sect."
"…………"
Seeing that Ruan Dandan was silent, Chu Zongyang simply threw out another big melon: "By the way, the group of people who ambushed you on the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year are all disciples of those two sects."
"How do you know this?"
"It's easy to say, because I also participated, but I just stood on the sidelines and took care of them when your life was hanging by a thread and saved your life." Chu Zongyang was really not shy and told the truth.
"What are you trying to do with this unnecessary act..." Ruan Dandan's mind was already confused, and she could not understand the puzzling and contradictory actions of the killer in front of her.
"I told you, I need your help. I have been looking for someone to cooperate with in the past two days. You are one, and Hu Ji, the eldest disciple of the leader of the Kongtong Sect, is also one, but because he is unwilling to help me, So I killed him."
"threaten me?"
"Yes, even though Hu Ji's status is noble, I will still kill you; if you are a lone ranger with no one to rely on, I will have no risk in killing you."
"But don't worry, I have no intention of killing you, and I won't do anything to you just after using you." Chu Zongyang pulled the knife back into its sheath, and pulled the black mask on his face with his hand: "Look , I won’t let you see my face, which is enough to show my sincerity. In order to deliberately increase the difficulty of my task, I don’t cover my face when I kill people. I just need to silence all the witnesses on the spot.”
Ruan Dandan complained: "You seem to like doing unnecessary things."
"Haha... Gu Mingkong, the famous sword god in the world, doesn't he practice this way? What's the difference between his sword journey and what I did?"
"Okay, I can't argue with you." Ruan Dandan gave up the pointless argument: "The grace of saving my life is unforgettable, but I will not help others do evil."
Chu Zongyang was not surprised: "You righteous people in the world are just round-minded... That's all. Let me tell you straight. I don't need you to sneak into Pufu with me. I just need you to use normal means to hold off the masters of Pufu for a moment. This That’s okay, right?”
…………
Coincidentally, there are two other people in the capital who are also seeking to join forces to cause trouble. One of them is the sword god Gu Mingkong mentioned in the conversation between Chu Zongyang and Ruan Dandan.
Gu Mingkong is forty-six years old this year, which is the year when he should be fighting. He has been practicing internal skills for forty years and has practiced swordsmanship for half a year. He has the reputation of being the best swordsman in the martial arts today.
Naturally, the person who could sit and drink with him would not be an unknown person. Sitting opposite the Ancient Sword God was a powerful and fierce man with a fierce aura, a leopard head and eyes, and his palms were as big as leaf fans. This man was asked to go to the film and television city to audition for Zhang Fei and Li Kui without even wearing makeup.
This person's identity is somewhat special. He is the former head of the Four Elephants Sect, Qin Cu, nicknamed "Qilin Xiang".
This Qin Cu is actually not that old. He is two years younger than Gu Mingkong. There is no disability in appearance. There is no problem of declining combat power and strength. So why did a good man become the former leader? ?
Simple, because the world cannot tolerate him continuing to be at the helm of Sixiangmen.
First of all, Qin Cu was a martial arts prodigy. He had learned all the Four Elephants magic skills and mastered them proficiently in his early thirties, but this was actually nothing. All the previous heads of the Four Elephants Sect could do it. However, Qin Cu relied on his own efforts to master every martial arts under the Four Symbols Magic Kung Fu.
As mentioned before, the Four Symbols Divine Kung Fu is the collective name for the four martial arts, namely Qinglong Jiao, White Tiger Hunting, Suzaku You and Xuanwu Yu. It is said that these four kinds of kung fu should be inherited from the same origin and will not affect each other when practiced together. However, in the entire hundred-year history of Sixiang Sect, only the founder of the Kai Sect has achieved this.
The problem lies with Zhuqueyou. Among the Four Symbols Divine Skills, the Qinglong Xiang, White Tiger Xiang and Xuanwu Xiang are all external skills, but the Suzaku Xiang is a light skill. In principle, horizontal training that emphasizes stability and Qinggong that favors body techniques are in conflict. The problem is not obvious in the early stages of martial arts practice, and becomes more serious as you practice, because the Suzaku phase cannot be combined with any of the other three phases. Combined and forcibly used, it will cause internal energy to be disordered and the true energy to be reversed. In the least case, the original effort will be damaged, and in the worst case, the foundation of martial arts will be destroyed. Take Lu Lingyuan, the current talker of Sixiang Sect, as an example. He has practiced the Three Phases of Qinglong, White Tiger and Xuanwu Kung Fu to perfection, and only dabbled in it when he was unable to swim in the Suzaku.
But Qin Cu was the next person after the ancestor of the Four Elephants Sect to successfully practice the Four Elephants Divine Skills together. His method was to develop the fifth phase: the unicorn body.
The warrior uses Qilin as the center and the other four elephants as auxiliaries, so they can easily coordinate offense and defense, and easily coordinate their advance and retreat. The ultimate problem that has troubled the Four Elephants Sect for more than a hundred years was solved by Qin Cu.
After that, Lu Lingyuan, who was the head of the Four Elephant Sect at that time, immediately abdicated in favor of his successor, and Qin Cu became the new flag bearer of the sect; Qilin Shen's martial arts technique was also extended to the entire sect, and everyone practiced hard. For a time, Sixiangmen was full of vigor and vitality, and it was on the verge of surpassing the old school of Shaolin and Wudang.
It's a pity that the law of development of things is that victory turns to decline. It didn't take long for the Sixiang Sect to be drained from the bottom of the cauldron. Qin Cu was forced to leave the sect. The peerless magical skill he created, the Qilin Body, was also relegated to the cold palace, and no one dared to practice it.
After Qin Cu became the leader, his character became more violent and erratic. He punched and kicked the disciples within the sect on a daily basis. Externally, he organized competitions in the arena, signing life and death warrants at every turn, and massacred other heroes through legal means.
To put it bluntly, what Qin Cu did was of the same nature as what Ma Chun, the leader of the Cangwu Sect, did, but the latter only had a bad moral bottom line, while Qin Cu had the potential to be a demon and had a much worse influence.
So how can this person's character change so easily? Tracing back to the source, it is still a problem with Qilin's body. Everyone in the martial arts world later discovered that without the corresponding mental method as a foundation, people who practice this kung fu will unknowingly go crazy. The new disciples of the Four Elephant Sect who are practicing the Qilin Body can still be saved, but Qin Cu, as the first practitioner, is helpless. The demonic nature has entered his body and it will be difficult to recover.
Since Qin Cu was also considered a victim, he would not be held accountable for his past crimes, but the Sixiang Sect still expelled him from the sect in accordance with the rules, and the leader was returned to Lu Lingyuan.
Over the years, Qin Cu has never given up his dream of practicing the five elements together, but he has wasted many years and made little progress. It was not until two months ago that he heard the news that a divine treasure had appeared in the capital that he saw a glimmer of hope.
"Brother Gu, it's only been half a day, but the news about your secret arrival in Beijing has almost spread." Qin Cu was furious and drank down a bottle of wine: "How are you going to deal with the leaders of the clan who haven't come? "
While they were drinking, Gu Mingkong's posture was much more gentle. He took a sip and put down the glass: "It doesn't matter. When I seize the sacred treasure and make my wish successfully, I will have unparalleled swordsmanship. I will kill anyone who blocks my way. Why fear?" There is."
When the readers read this paragraph, they probably figured out: This sword god Gu Mingkong was a fellow patient with Qin Cu, and he was also possessed by a demon.
However, unlike Qin Cu, Qin Cu became possessed by the demon because of his imperfect Qilin body, which was considered an objective reason, while Gu Mingkong became possessed by strong and pure paranoia.
Gu Mingkong's skills have not improved in several years. After his martial arts career has reached its peak and opponents are hard to find, the "death-seeking" training method has no effect. He also regards the magic treasure as the last straw.
Qin Cu laughed loudly, making Zhen's window paper tremble: "Brother Gu has such great ambitions, but it's a pity that Sajia won't let you get it easily."
"That's the best. I'm also looking forward to a hearty duel with Brother Qin." Gu Mingkong was full of fighting spirit: "But the most urgent thing is to eliminate more competitors."
"Brother Gu is worried. There is no one worthy of attention in the capital. The deaths of Ma Chun and Wharton are true. Although Mrs. Sushou is missing, she must be seriously injured and unable to make trouble. The only one who is still a bit of a threat is also The head of the Zou family in Jiangdong is Zou Yi, who is known as the "Flying Horse"."
"No, a near-first-class master. Apart from the four of them, there is one more person."
"who?"
"Killer Puffy Gull."
"The person who first killed Wharton and then went with two of us to attack Ruan Dandan on the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year? I actually forgot about him." After mentioning this, Qin Cu also reacted: "This person has been there since He disappeared like Ruan Dandan. In the past two days, we just thought he failed to complete the mission and left without saying goodbye. Are there other possibilities?"
"These two are the biggest variables at the moment and we must be on guard against them."
"That's right, our Sixiang Sect will send out Wenhou Ying to search carefully for the whereabouts of the two of them."
"The same goes for our Xi Sword Sect. Brother Qin is busy."
"Thank you."
