Chapter 414 If you are my brother, come and kill me
On a high hill, there is a strange flame-red building that looks like a temple.
The building was ventilated on all sides, and what was enshrined inside was not a shrine or statue of a deity, but a huge gilded torch, inside which a mysterious, red-gold flame fluttered in the wind, never extinguishing.
This fire is called human fire.
In the shadow of the flickering flames, a slightly short but imposing figure, with his back to the crowd, handed three long incense sticks into the fire, bowed very devoutly, then inserted them into the incense burner before turning back.
His face was still unclear, but with just a glance, an aura that looked down upon everyone like a dragon or a tiger was already emanating from him.
Everyone below lowered their heads and no one dared to look up.
Then, a powerful sound was heard.
"More than twenty years ago, we, Renjianhuo, were determined to enforce justice on behalf of heaven, so we came to Broken Monument Mountain and opened a business with great success."
"My brothers and I have great ambitions!"
"I had been a bandit for less than half a month when I had to fight three battles with the imperial court in one day. It seemed that I was about to collapse. It was not until I attracted the Qilin divine beast that I was able to stabilize Broken Stele Mountain. But... I was still engaged in a business that would get me killed."
"In this year, six of our brothers died."
"We avenged every one of them."
"The fortune teller said that my life will be a journey of sacrifice for the sake of success!"
"But I don't agree..."
"We are out here to make a living, and although we don't care about life or death, but... everyone on the mountain is my good disciple and good brother. I will never abandon anyone easily."
The man looked into the distance again.
"Zhen Guanxi... has only been with me for a short time, but he has become the senior brother of Yanzhao Sect in such a short time. He can be said to be gifted."
"Now he has been killed, we have to avenge him."
"Master is right!"
Among the crowd below, He Tu spoke loudly with a crying voice.
He was also short in stature, and his figure was 80% similar to the man in front of him. He lowered his head and said with tears streaming down his face, "I have just taken over the secret post of Jixiang Mansion not long ago, but I also know that Zhen Guanxi has been working hard for Duanbei Mountain. Such a young hero should have been a pillar of Duanbei Mountain in the future..."
"But he... was ruthlessly murdered by a Taoist priest! The method was extremely cruel!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the side.
It turned out that the body next to the building was Zhen Guanxi's. Blood was flowing from all seven orifices, and his eyes were bloodshot. It looked like he was beaten to death with heavy means, and he was still holding a lot of resentment before his death.
"When I arrived, I saw him in such a miserable state. How much hatred must a person have experienced before dying to be so unwilling to die!"
"These secret agents may not live with us, but each of them is our beloved relative, friend, brother and sister!"
He Tu fell beside Zhen Guanxi's body and cried loudly. If anyone didn't know, they would probably think that the dead person was his father, and he had to be his biological son.
The figure in the shadow is naturally the boss of Duanbei Mountain and the number one traitor of the Heluo Dynasty.
Guo Longque.
This is also the Guo Dang mentioned by Yu Qian'an.
He slowly said, "From what you said, the murderer has a high level of cultivation?"
"That's right." He Tu gritted his teeth and said, "I've heard Zhen Guanxi talk about that man. His magical powers are very strange. I'm afraid he has the level of a land immortal. He had previously disrupted the mission of Yaowang Town, and now he's killing people. I don't know what grudge he has with Broken Monument Mountain! But no matter what, we must fight to the death!"
"Land immortal..."
Guo Longque groaned.
No matter what level of power, no one would want to provoke such an opponent. Especially an earthly immortal with unknown origins and no ties. If you make a mortal enemy with such a person and specifically want to deal with you, any power will be half dead.
If it weren't for the fact that those land immortals who could move mountains and seas at will mostly stayed away from worldly disputes and ignored the feuds in the martial arts world, the current ecology of the martial arts world would definitely not be so harmonious.
"Master."
At this time, Cao Pan stepped forward and said, "Why don't we let our disciples check this man's background first, and determine where he came from, and then we can think of a way to avenge this dead spy."
"Very good. You are worthy of being my beloved disciple. You can take the initiative to share the worries for your teacher." Guo Longque looked at him with satisfaction.
Then he said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you two. Apart from Qilin, if you need help from anyone in the whole mountain, just ask. If necessary, I can also do it myself."
Cao Pan's eyes sparkled, and the two of them clasped their fists and said, "Yes!"
…
Li Chu didn't know what happened on the Broken Monument Mountain in the distance, but Liu Fufeng came to him again today and brought some news.
"I recently investigated some of the sects in the Northern Jianghu and found that apart from the sects that focused on cultivation, most of the usurpations of power were large gangs that were connected to the secular world."
"The entire Black Water Prefecture has almost completed a blood transfusion. And the Jixiang Prefecture has also begun to be gradually infiltrated since Feitianmen. The situation is not optimistic. I am afraid that the power controlled by the Golden Bodhisattva is now greater than I know."
Liu Fufeng said with a stern expression.
Although he was a solitary immortal on land, free and easy, he was not completely free of worries. Many years ago, he had been punishing evil and promoting good in the north, and he always had deep feelings for this land. Now that the Golden Bodhisattva wanted to stir up trouble here, he naturally wanted to stop it.
“Once he gradually gains control over the large gangs in the three northern prefectures, it will probably be time to implement the plan.” He added at last.
"It's just that his magical powers are hard to predict..." Li Chu pondered, "Even if we know who is controlled by him, it's hard to stop him."
"That's right." Liu Fufeng nodded.
"The magical power of the Golden Bodhisattva is indeed hard to guard against, so I never took action during the investigation, for fear of alerting the enemy. Those who are controlled by him do not seem to have their minds affected, and they can think as usual, which is much more powerful than ordinary puppetry. It's just that those people will regard him as a belief and obey his orders without hesitation. There will be no negative thoughts about him in their minds, and if something related to the Golden Bodhisattva is exposed, they will commit suicide immediately..."
Liu Fufeng frowned and said, "This is no longer something that can be done by simply bewitching people. It is directly and arbitrarily rewriting people's thoughts... It is simply a magic trick of ghosts and gods."
"If such a magical power existed in the world, it should be very famous, right?" Li Chu wondered.
"Not necessarily." Liu Fufeng shook his head. "In fact, the more powerful the magical power, the more likely it is that no one knows about it. Because any magical power has its weaknesses. If it is known by too many people, it may be leaked. Therefore, many people will not reveal ancient magical powers or even immortal arts after obtaining them from immortal hiding places or other channels. They will also hide them when using them. It may take many years before they are cracked by others."
"So that's how it is." Li Chu finally understood.
He really didn't know much about supernatural powers. He didn't have the same curiosity and desire for such things as he did at the beginning, he just thought it was enough.
Anyway.
Most of the time, one sword is enough.
"So if we want to deal with the Golden Bodhisattva, we still have to start with him himself. I think... maybe we can use some methods to lure him out." Liu Fufeng said again.
"Oh?" Li Chu listened carefully.
"Observing the ones he chose, they are basically large gangs with great influence in the local area and prestigious disciples who are all top-notch. They are gradually infiltrating from north to south. It may take some time to reach the capital of Jixiang Prefecture. If we can develop such a large gang during this period of time, then... I believe that Golden Bodhisattva will come to us himself. After all, his magical power should only be displayed by himself." Liu Fufeng explained his thoughts.
Li Chu nodded in agreement.
In fact, he is very familiar with this technique, it's nothing more than fishing.
Maybe Golden Bodhisattva thought he was here to catch fish, but when he arrived he would find out... in this world, whoever is weak is the fish.
"With the cultivation level of Taoist Xiao Li and I, it is not difficult to establish a kingdom in Jixiang Prefecture and create such a force from scratch." Liu Fufeng continued, "The difficulty is that it cannot be done by just you and me. Because before starting to plan, the Golden Bodhisattva will definitely conduct a detailed investigation. Once we show our presence, he will definitely not take the bait."
"Indeed." Li Chu also thought of this, paused, and said: "But it is not difficult to solve. I have a way."
"Oh?" Liu Fufeng was delighted.
"We just need to find a stranger that the Golden Bodhisattva has never seen before, and let him take action to defeat the remaining gangs in Jixiang Mansion, isn't that enough?" Li Chu said.
“…”
Liu Fufeng was silent for a moment, not knowing how to respond to this extremely correct nonsense.
After a pause, he smiled and said, "Then where should I find this person?"
"I have a soul possession technique. I just need to find a trustworthy person." Li Chu said, "I happen to have a trustworthy friend by my side."
"Haha." Liu Fufeng smiled brightly: "It's really easy to work with Taoist Xiao Li."
After laughing, he began to think.
It seemed that Li Chu had already thought of everything he had thought of, and had also thought of things he had not thought of. He could beat Li Chu who he could beat, and he could also beat Li Chu who he could not beat...
In this way, doesn't it seem like all I have to do is shout "six six six"?
Wouldn't this be embarrassing...
I, Liu Fufeng, am not a scoundrel.
At this moment, he still didn't understand one thing: the reason why a person becomes a loser is not entirely because he is too weak, sometimes, it is because his teammates are too strong.
…
That night.
Deep in a small alley in Jixiangfu, there were noisy shouts. You had to get very close to hear the commotion inside.
When I lifted the curtain and walked in, I found that it was an underground casino.
In the smoke-filled lobby, gamblers with red eyes stared at the game in front of them, whether it was Pai Gow, Mahjong, or dice. Piles of gold and silver were placed there, dazzling.
There were also some women in brightly coloured and revealing clothes, wandering among the crowd, winking at the big winners at the gambling tables.
A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dressed in brocade, walked in with his head held high.
As the saying goes, raise it for seven thousand days and use it for seventy-one hours.
Wang Longqi is naturally the trustworthy friend that Li Chu mentioned.
At this moment, Li Chu's soul was already inside his body.
"Hey, young master, you're a stranger?" A servant came up to him with a smile on his face. "What do you want to play?"
"Hello, I'm here to cause trouble." Li Chu said politely.
"Ah?" The servant was stunned.
Apparently it was the tone of voice coupled with the words that made him a little unresponsive.
"I'm sorry, I'm here to mess things up." Li Chu repeated, "Can you please call out the gang members who are watching over the place? I want to beat them up... It'll hurt a lot."
"You..." The servant looked at him for a long time, and finally said, "Are you sick?"
"Oh." Li Chu sighed.
Why doesn’t polite communication work?
Then his fingers moved and a cold light flashed.
A flying sword flashing with bright sword light appeared in front of the servant, only an inch away from his eyes.
The servant instantly became cross-eyed.
In order not to reveal his identity, Li Chu left the Chunyang Sword with his original body and exchanged it for an ordinary iron sword worth a few taels of silver.
But with the blessing of his spiritual power, this ordinary iron sword still seems to carry the breath of death.
The next second, the servant came back to his senses and screamed in fear: "Brother Crow! Someone is here to mess things up! Brother Crow!"
He turned around and ran quickly into the inner hall.
The gamblers in the venue also scattered, some hid in the corners to watch the fun, and some took the money and ran away in the chaos.
"Don't mess around!"
All I heard was a loud shout.
Several muscular men rushed out from inside. The first one had a defiant look on his face and fierce eyes. He should be the Brother Crow called by the servant.
Looking at Li Chu flying the sword in front, they all looked a little fearful.
For these street thugs, practicing some martial arts is enough to make a small difference. Those who can come into contact with real magical powers are already quite powerful masters.
However, it seems that the boy in front of him is not very old, and his cultivation level is probably not very high. If the brothers rush forward together, they should be able to deal with him. This kind of low-level Qi-refining cultivator is easy to deal with as long as you get close to him.
Thinking of this, Wu Ya felt more confident and asked, "Which gang are you from? Why are you here to mess with our Dongxing Gang? Haven't you heard of our Dongxing Five Tigers?"
After that, he looked back and shouted, "Stand up straight, aren't you full?!"
After he said this, the four men behind him immediately puffed out their chests and put on a domineering look.
"I'm from a new gang called..." Li Chu paused for a second after being asked this question. He had never really thought about it, but he quickly answered, "Trumen."
"Truman? Tsk." Crow sneered, "Never heard of it."
"Yes, it has just been established. I am the only one here now, but... there may be more people joining us later." Li Chu still answered politely.
"No wonder you come here alone to mess things up. It turns out you're just a clueless young man who wants to hang out in the underworld just because he's learned some magical powers..." Crow sneered, raised his hand, and pulled out the sharp blade behind him.
The people behind him also drew their swords and pointed them at Li Chu.
"If you don't want to die, I advise you to get out of here." The crow threatened, "There are many nameless corpses in Jixiang Mansion every day. You might be one of them tomorrow."
"I don't want to die, and I don't want to leave. It's okay..." Li Chu nodded, gave an encouraging look, and said, "If you are a brother, come and chop me up."
I updated early today, and I have a clear idea in my mind. April is over, I wish you all a happy May Day!
