"Ahem..."
The pass of a knife leaves a mark, the pass of a palm leaves a mark...
The top swordsman who was once enough to put Pei Wende into a tough fight was now killed by him with one stroke of his sword without even touching the corner of Pei Wende's clothes.
"Ahem, I didn't expect you to be a Buddhist Vajra."
At the last moment before his consciousness died, the middle-aged man suppressed his cough and smiled with a slightly bitter expression.
"But it's okay, Runzhou is finally saved."
As the middle-aged man finished speaking, his body was completely split into two, turning into a stream of dark sewage that seeped into the wooden bridge at his feet.
"..."
Staring silently at the place where the middle-aged man disappeared, Pei Wende could only sigh helplessly.
"I still don't know your name, unknown swordsman."
The sword in mid-air fell into Pei Wende's hands again, and this time he walked across the wooden bridge without any obstruction and arrived in front of the dark and gloomy lobby.
Compared to the evil aura emanating from the middle-aged man, the evil aura flowing out of the lobby was as endless as an abyss.
Especially the oppressive and dark aura, which can be compared with the demon Buddha that Pei Wende met at the beginning.
"I have killed all your guardians, why don't you come out?"
Standing quietly at the door of the lobby, Pei Wende did not go in recklessly, but stood there and shouted loudly inside.
"Or are you planning to wait until I demolish the entire mansion before you take the initiative to come out?"
Pei Wende just has a bad temper, but he is not mean-spirited.
Seeing the evil and strange atmosphere inside and outside the lobby, Pei Wende did not want to break into the home of the person behind the scenes to fight without permission, even if he was confident in his own strength.
"Mage, wait!"
Before Pei Wende could continue to urge, a slightly older voice came from the lobby.
Tick tock! Tick tock! Tick tock!
The sound of dripping water that echoed in Pei Wende's ears sounded again.
And accompanied by the strange dripping sounds, an old man who looked very "short" appeared.
The reason why I put the word "short" in quotation marks is because the old man is not really very short, but it is his hunched back that makes him look very short.
"Are you the culprit behind all this?"
Raising his brows slightly, Pei Wende was not sure whether the old man in front of him was deliberately showing weakness or whether he was born with a hunched back.
The only thing Pei Wende can be sure of is that this old man is the source of evil in the Governor's Mansion and even the entire Runzhou City.
The old man obviously had no intention of hiding anything. Every time he took a step forward, a drop of dark water fell to the ground, corroding everything he came into contact with.
"The culprit behind the scenes?"
Tilting his head slightly, the rickety old man showed an almost weird smile.
"The old man is Zhang Yuanze, the governor of Runzhou, and he is not the culprit behind the scenes."
Although there was a smile on his face, the old man felt more like crying to Pei Wende.
Pei Wende knew that it was not his illusion, but the old man's true feelings deep in his heart.
His mind power, one of the six Buddhist powers, is one of the sharpest and most powerful spiritual powers in the world. In the end, practitioners can even go through reincarnation to keep their minds immortal.
Although Pei Wende has not yet reached that level, he has also cultivated his own mind to a very high level.
——His heart is my heart, and all living beings respond to it!
On weekdays, Pei Wende also needs to use various means to achieve abilities such as "mind reading".
But when facing this old man, facing his overflowing sadness, despair and regret, Pei Wende could read the other man's mind with almost no hindrance.
Of course, this is not because Pei Wende doesn't want to directly read the other party's memory. In fact, the real mind-reading ability is far from as powerful as the legend.
In other words, there is no such thing as mind-reading in this world.
After all, human thinking and logic are never linear, and what mind-reading technology can read is just a moment's thoughts and emotions.
As for the causes and consequences?
As long as the person involved does not develop a complete association, it is impossible for Pei Wende to learn the ins and outs of the entire incident through this single thought.
"Zhang Shijun, little monk Fahai."
"This time, I noticed that there were evil spirits in Runzhou City, so I went to the city to find out the truth of the incident."
After a brief silence, Pei Wende chose to believe the emotion he had just felt, and deliberately restrained the sense of oppression caused by the battle.
"If you know the truth, I hope you can tell the monk."
When he said this, Pei Wende's tone paused again before continuing.
"Perhaps the young monk has a way to solve the envoy's problem and end this chaos caused by evil spirits."
I have to say that the sincerity in Pei Wende's words really moved the old man.
Or maybe it was the strength Pei Wende showed in his previous battle with the middle-aged swordsman that impressed the old man.
The stooped old man was also silent for a brief moment, and then opened his mouth to say something.
"now that……"
However, as soon as the old man said a word, the regret in his heart was instantly covered by an extreme feeling of hatred.
"Fahai?"
The voice suddenly became a little deeper. The old man slowly straightened up and his eyes widened. Compared with the rickety appearance before, he looked completely different.
"The successor of Lingyou Mad Monk? The personal disciple of the Evil Buddha of the Sacred Heart?"
He murmured in a tone that was almost gritting his teeth. The old man's eyes were fixed on Pei Wende, which made the evil aura lingering around him become even more intense.
There is no doubt that the old man now is not the old man who previously claimed to be "Runzhou Governor Zhang Yuanze".
That kind of extreme hatred is simply not something ordinary people can possess. Even those demons and monsters that are embodied by the evil spirit may not necessarily possess the old man's current evil spirit.
"Sacred Heart Evil Buddha?"
"I remember that last time, others just called him the 'Sacred Heart Evil Monk'. I didn't expect this title to escalate so quickly."
Pei Wende smiled helplessly, knowing that the matter was not so simple and easy to solve.
However, from the words of the other party, it was not difficult for Pei Wende to judge that "it" had come into contact with his senior brother who liked to cause trouble everywhere.
[It seems that your senior brother is indeed in Yangzhou, and he seems to have encountered a lot of trouble. 】
Xiaoqing's voice echoed in Pei Wende's heart at the right time, and it sounded like there was some gloating in his misfortune.
Because if Huiji really stayed in Runzhou, there was no reason to ignore this strange evil invasion.
Therefore, the old man's sudden change of attitude can only mean that Huiji encountered some kind of trouble, which led to his failure to successfully solve the strange events that occurred in Runzhou.
