The area Beitang is responsible for searching is six hills lined up along the river bank, including the valleys and streams between the mountains, as well as the areas along the waterfront. The task Zhong Liying received was the eastern half of the fourth mountain in the northeast, which is Yushan.
Wu Sheng was eager to leave the Beitang brigade as soon as possible, and quickly started to search the mountain in groups, so that he could take advantage of this opportunity to escape, so he kept urging them to set off.
Zhong Liying stared at the group in front and said, "Don't worry, just follow them."
The leader of the group of monks in front was Shi Jiu, a native of Langshan. Next to him was a young female swordsman who was the "Sophora Flower Sword" in Chen Bu's mouth. There is also a man wearing a bamboo hat, who is called Mahu.
Zhong Liying stared at Shi Jiu, Chen Bu stared at the Sophora Flower Sword, and Wu Sheng prayed silently: "Don't look for trouble, don't look for trouble, don't look for trouble..."
Unfortunately, the prayer had no effect. When they arrived at Deyu Mountain, Zhong Liying shouted: "Shi Jiu!"
Wu Sheng closed his eyes and felt depressed. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to happily search for Wu Sheng? Do you have to find trouble to be happy?
Shi Jiu turned around and sneered: "What does Zhongli mean?"
Zhong Liying said: "You call yourself a monk of Langshan, and you keep talking about how brave and resourceful Wu Sheng is in cultivation. Isn't this just boosting other people's ambitions and destroying your own prestige?"
Shi Jiu said: "Wu Sheng's bravery is rare in the world. He broke the formation with one sword. Have you ever heard of it? Wu Sheng's wisdom is rare in the world. Have you ever seen the golden cicada escape from its shell in the midst of thousands of troops? Don't tell me. I, Shi San, have thousands of colleagues in Langshan, who wouldn’t admire me and call me a hero? If you want to use this to frame me, and say that I, Shi San, have cheated on me, you have made the wrong calculation."
Wu Sheng was listening in awe, he was indeed a good man!
But Zhong Liying asked: "Have you seen it?"
Shi Jiu said: "I have seen it before."
Zhong Liying asked: "Tell me, what does Wu Sheng look like?"
Shi Jiu thought for a moment and said, "My face is fair and my appearance is thin."
Zhong Liying shook his head: "This is what was passed down from above. Does anyone here know about it?"
Shi Jiu said again: "Wearing a long sword, it is described as strong!" He pointed at Chen Bu and Wu Sheng: "I advise you not to do this in the future. If you meet Mr. Wu, you will rather die than you deserve!"
Wu Sheng was stunned and looked at Chen Bu, thinking that he would not be able to carry a long sword on his back in the future?
Zhong Liying laughed and said: "Come to think of it, I don't think you, Shi Jiu, have ever met Wu Sheng. Wouldn't you rather be ashamed to deceive people who are not experienced in the world with your lies and conjectures?"
Huai Huajian's eyebrows knitted together as he listened, and shouted: "Who are you saying is a person who is inexperienced in the world? This girl is willing to listen to Shi Jiulang's stories, what does it have to do with you?"
Chen Bu shouted: "Sophora japonica, we are doing this for your own good, don't be deceived by him!"
Shi Jiu said: "Zhongli, I know what you want to do. Don't you just want to form a gang and compete for a position in the Beitang? Why are you making these excuses? You can draw a line today. I, Shi Jiu, have never been afraid of anyone." !”
Zhong Liying said: "Then listen carefully, you and I will compete here. If you win, we will only follow your lead Shi Jiu from now on. If you lose..."
Shi Jiu responded loudly: "From now on, I will respect your orders from Zhongli!"
Wu Sheng and those next to him rolled their eyes and were speechless, but they did not object. He planned to take the opportunity to get away and run away quietly.
Speaking of this, Zhong Liying and Shi Jiu each took out their magic weapons and stood face to face. Zhong Liying is the soul-calling flag, and Shi Jiu is the mourning stick. Their magical weapons are very suitable.
The people next to him each stepped back three feet, leaving the battlefield empty. Wu Sheng stepped back a little further, an extra foot, and he was still moving half a step back.
Zhong Liying's cultivation was stronger, but he was disadvantaged by the magic weapon called the Soul-Calling Banner. It was a low-grade magic weapon with poor quality. Shi Jiu's cultivation was obviously three points inferior to his, but the mourning stick in his hand was a medium-grade magic weapon, and it was difficult to fight for a while. Win or lose.
Seeing Huaihua Jian and Ma Hu on the opposite side, as well as Chen Bu and others on his side, all staring at the fight intently, Wu Sheng moved faster and unknowingly retreated another ten feet.
Just as he was about to turn around and run away, he suddenly heard someone behind him say: "Don't you want to watch?"
Wu Sheng's body trembled and he almost couldn't catch his breath. At some point, Hall Master Song arrived. He was hiding behind a tree with his hands folded, watching the battle with great interest.
This is a serious god-level master. When he was hiding, he was one and the same with the big tree. He was completely natural. If he had not retreated to his side, he would not have been discovered. I don’t know what kind of Taoist technique he is doing, but Wu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and secretly thought that if he was as capable as him, he would have escaped long ago.
Wu Sheng did not dare to make him suspicious, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he replied: "The fight will not be finished in a while, my subordinates plan to search first to prevent Wu Thief from escaping."
Hall Master Song smiled and said: "Don't worry, if he could escape, Wu Sheng would have escaped long ago. If he hadn't escaped, he would have fallen into my hands sooner or later. You are not from the Longquan Sect and you don't understand me. My luck is generally relatively good." Okay...let's see how they fight first, who do you think will win?"
Wu Sheng could only obey his words and said: "A middle-grade magic weapon cannot make up for the gap in cultivation. Zhongli will win... Doesn't the hall master intend to stop their private fight?"
Hall Master Song smiled and said: "The Beitang is so big. There will be hundreds of monks in the future. I can't take care of all aspects by myself. I am just about to select a few to help me take care of it."
While talking, the winner was also decided here. As expected, Zhong Liying defeated Shi Jiu. Shi Jiu had a look of resentment on his face and glared at Zhong Liying: "Brother Zhong Li is smart, from now on..."
Sophora Flower Sword shouted: "Wait a minute! I will compete too, Chen Bu, do you dare to compete with me?"
Chen Bu didn't want to compete with Sophora Flower Sword, but he was pushed out of the stage by Sophora Flower Sword with a few words, so he had to leave. However, he was helpless everywhere, and soon he was at a disadvantage. Sophora Flower Sword seized the opportunity and won with one sword strike.
Sophora Flower Sword said proudly: "We have won two out of three games. Now we are even. One more game will determine the outcome! Huzi, do you dare to fight?"
So Ma Hu invited Wu Sheng to fight: "Fellow Taoist, please give me a fight!"
Hall Master Song, who was hiding behind a tree, winked at Wu Sheng with great interest and motioned for him to come on. Wu Sheng immediately cursed at Hall Master Song: Do you, the hall master, like to watch the fun so much?
Under the urging of Hall Master Song, Wu Sheng moved with difficulty, racking his brains as he left the field: Should we fight or not? Do you want close combat? Or just admit defeat?
Zhong Liying smiled and encouraged Wu Sheng: "Brother Sun, show your ability and fight." He was in a very happy mood. The so-called two wins in three games, it doesn't matter which side wins or loses. People of the time are still promising, but Shi Jiu is defeated. , from now on he will be the only one to follow his lead.
Chen Bulue felt a little ashamed: "Brother Sun..."
Wu Sheng's face felt like a breeze, and he smiled and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
The careless man on the other side had a solemn face. He slowly took off the iron ruler from his waist, raised it above his head, and opened the door: "Is this you, Fellow Daoist Sun? Please!"
