Chapter 37: Wang Liufu's Disaster (Part 1)
"boom"
Just as the fat monk was struggling with his feelings, there was a sudden gunshot, which was so sharp that it knocked over the horse pulling the luxurious carriage of the steward of Ruyifang.
The other horses were already frightened.
He ran around screaming wildly, pulling the magnificent carriage over, causing the carriage to roll over, and the steward who was sitting inside, who was already frightened, fell to the ground in a panic.
He was an obvious target.
He was dressed so gorgeously and was protected by brave armored warriors. He was obviously an important figure. The steward fell to the ground and was pulled up by the armored soldiers around him.
The latter knew that the situation was not good, so he immediately protected the steward and, amid the wailing of people and horses, he mounted his warhorse and was about to escape.
But just as he mounted his horse, another gunshot rang out.
The warrior wearing heavy armor shook his body in confusion. There was a fist-sized penetrating wound on his chest, on the armor that had been forged hundreds of times, and half of his body was torn apart.
Hot blood was gushing out of it.
He wanted to say something, but in his weakness, he could only fall to the ground. The blood spurted out and sprayed all over the steward's head and face, scaring him to scream.
The pampered, pot-bellied fellow howled, abandoned his horse, and limped away.
Behind him, forty meters away, Jiang Xia, who was shooting in a standing position, pulled the bolt, ejected the shell, raised the gun calmly, and pulled the trigger.
"boom"
The sharp bullet flew out of the gun barrel, passed through the air, and hit the steward's broad, undulating back. This shot should have exploded his heart.
But when the bullet flew over, it was blocked by a sudden layer of light curtain.
It was like an eggshell, protecting the steward's body. When bullets hit it, sparks flew like ricochets, and the light shield flowed like water waves, which was very beautiful.
"Huh?"
Jiang Xia blinked and he immediately became interested.
Is this the magic weapon?
This is the first time I’ve seen it, very interesting.
He jumped up, put the heavy sniper rifle on his back, and ignoring the wailing around him, strode towards the steward, and as he walked, he casually took out the large-caliber revolver from his waist.
The chief steward was already petrified.
He was covered with the light shield activated by the magic weapon, but his limbs were limp and he could only fall to the ground, watching the bald-haired bandit in a black robe striding towards him.
"no, do not want!"
He screamed.
But it did not affect Jiang Xia's actions.
He stopped three steps away, raised his left hand, pulled the trigger, and the cylinder turned.
"Bang, bang, bang"
Three shots were fired. Three bullets, powerful enough to knock down an elephant with one shot, hit the light shield and bounced off, but failed to shatter the light curtain.
But what was visible to the naked eye was that the light curtain was much dimmer and had spider-web-like cracks.
"boom"
The fourth shot was fired, shocking the steward so much that he held his head and screamed.
The crotch of my pants was already mostly wet.
My life is over!
In this desperate situation, he suddenly remembered something and screamed towards the sky:
"Elder, save me! I will give you my family's wealth and five hundred spiritual stones and immortal coins to buy my life!"
In the clouds, the fat monk heard the scream.
He did not hesitate for too long, and urged the wooden kite to fly downwards.
This is not intervention!
I am saving people!
In the strong wind, the elder told himself this.
God is merciful and kind.
As a cultivator, it is my duty to save an innocent mortal.
Jiang Xia also felt the strong wind from behind, but he did not stop pulling the trigger, pretending that the monk did not exist.
This contempt made the fat monk angry, and he planned to teach this mortal a lesson.
But just as it flew into the air, a scream suddenly rang out.
"Tsk! How dare you, a mere cultivator, intervene in the mortal world's disputes? You disregard the laws of the Immortal Alliance! You and the more than 30 cultivators on your Mo Shuang Mountain, are you courting death?"
"boom"
The fat elder stopped his move immediately, and cold sweat broke out under his robe. At the same time, the last bullet flew out from Jiang Xia's gun.
The light curtain of the magic weapon shattered and hit the steward's chest.
Blood suddenly spurted out.
The last ray of light in the steward's eyes completely disappeared at this moment.
Jiang Xia blew away the gun smoke from the barrel, took out the magazine that was emptied of six bullets, and slowly loaded it with bullets. With a click, he put it back into place and inserted it into the gun bag.
After doing all this, he looked back.
The fat monk was sitting on a wooden kite, hovering three meters in the air.
In front of him, the mountain monster that he had seen once before, like a small gargoyle and a dwarf, was waving a small steel fork and flapping its little wings vividly, blocking the fat monk.
With its small body, it would be knocked away if hit by the fat monk's wooden kite.
But the fat monk didn't dare to move.
What this mountain monster represents is the majesty of the Immortal Alliance.
Jiang Xia was not betting that the fat monk would not dare to intervene in this battle.
He came prepared, certain that the mountain monster sent by the Immortal Alliance was hiding nearby.
Before Mr. Crow left, he had already said that monsters like mountain monsters are good at monitoring rumors and using their magical powers to eavesdrop on the surrounding area for hundreds of miles. Nothing that happens in the mountains can be hidden from it.
Naturally, this also includes this fight between mortals.
and The Last Adventures of the Fat Friar.
Now it seems that the Immortal Alliance is an organization that is indeed very prestigious in this world.
——
One of the thirty-three sects of the Immortal Alliance, the weapon-making sect Mo Shuangshan, the outer sect elder, the cultivator in the True Realm, Wang Liufu, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Even though he had been respectfully invited by Jiang Xia and others to drink tea on Fengshan Street, the shock and fear in his heart had not yet subsided.
He really didn't expect it.
In this remote Fengshan Mountain, there actually is a eavesdropping mountain monster from the Taofu Courtyard of the Immortal Alliance hiding.
It was just an impulse.
He was just about to make a big mistake in front of the Immortal Alliance's spies.
It's okay on weekdays.
Although Taofuyuan has spies all over the world, they don't have them in every place. And he was going there to rescue people, which was equivalent to skirting the rules.
If the people don't report it and the officials don't investigate it, even if the Immortal Alliance really knows about it, they can still get away with it.
But it was different just now.
The mountain monster heard clearly what the steward shouted before he died. In that situation, if he intervened, it would not be just a matter of saving people.
Instead, he made a deal with mortals and intervened in the disputes in the mortal world. Moreover, he would be caught by mountain monsters, and yellow mud would fall into his crotch, and he would either do something or something.
If this is reported...
Not only himself, but also all the cultivators in Mo Shuang Mountain will be implicated.
His own sect was already at the bottom of the Immortal Alliance. If something like this happened, everyone in the sect would definitely push him, a mere cultivator in the Realm of Existence, out as a scapegoat.
No one will speak for him on this matter.
Almost.
I almost lost my life with my own hands.
There is always great terror between life and death. The experience just now made Wang Liufu jump back and forth in front of the gate of hell. He wandered around in a circle, causing him to tremble a little while holding the tea bowl.
Although a cultivator in the Cunzhen realm is only at the bottom second level on the road of cultivation, he has also completed the process of Qi training and transformation, and is no longer an ordinary person. It is rare that he could be frightened like this.
Jiang Xia was sitting on the other side of the table in this room.
He secretly observed the change in expression of the pale, fat monk, and then looked to the other side.
The little gargoyle-like mountain monster with a pointed face and a body made of stone was now standing on a chair, holding a tea bowl that an ordinary person could hold in one hand with his paws, and pouring water into his mouth to drink.
Although it is an ugly face made , it is very flexible.
You can see the clear changes in expression, and there is also a playful light in those small red gemstone-like eyes.
Mountain monsters are a type of spirits that grow up in spiritual mountains. They are born and raised naturally, have the ability to eavesdrop, and can hide in the mountains. However, they have bad tempers and are smart, and can be tamed.
They are a race of spies currently under the command of Taofu Academy of the Immortal Alliance, spread all over the world.
The little mountain monster finished drinking the tea, sipped his lips like a human, and then stretched out his snake-like tongue to lick the edge of his mouth. Then he spoke leisurely:
"The cultivators from Mo Shuang Mountain are so bold that they dare to act disobediently in front of me.
The venerable leaders of the Immortal Alliance have repeatedly warned that cultivators are not allowed to disturb the mortal world.
You, a mere cultivator in the realm of truth, are so bold as to act like a tiger. Not only do you steal and eat on a daily basis, but you even collude with mortals and exchange money for your life.
Tsk tsk, he is so greedy that he even dares to fish money out of the frying pan. It really opens my eyes.
This strange thing must be reported immediately. I think the Chanyi Immortal Venerable of Taofuyuan will also like this bizarre and good story, Monk Wang, don't you think so?"
The mountain monster speaks in a very unpleasant way.
It's not just the malicious and threatening tone in it, but also the tone itself, which is like the friction between stones, harsh and noisy.
However, after saying this, Jiang Xia saw the fat monk grinning with an expression as if he had a toothache, and his fat body was shaking.
He tried to show a flattering attitude and said to the little mountain monster:
"Oh, Your Excellency the Supervisor must have seen it wrong. How could a mere cultivator like me have the guts to go against the rules of the Immortal Alliance? What I just said was... well, I was just curious.
It’s curiosity!”
Wang Liufu glanced at Jiang Xia, patted his chest and said:
"The Supervisor should also know that I, Mo Shuangshan, am a practitioner of the Mo family. In addition to refining weapons, I am also very fond of mechanical engineering. These mortals are holding things that I have never seen before.
I was so excited that I wanted to ask for it to have a look, but the supervisor misunderstood me. "
Having said this, Monk Wang licked his lips and continued:
"Everyone in the cultivation world knows that I, Mo Shuangshan, have always listened to the Immortal Alliance. How could I have the guts to go against the Immortal Alliance's rules?"
"Misunderstand?"
The little mountain monster refused to give in and glanced towards Jiangxia.
A hint of intimacy appeared in the red eyes. No one knew how Mr. Crow dealt with it, but looking at the current appearance of this mountain monster, it was obvious that he had a very good impression of Jiang Xia.
"I don't think this is a misunderstanding."
The mountain monster swung his long tail, folded his arms, and folded his wings behind him, saying vividly:
"But this matter was ultimately caused by a dispute among mortals, so we have to listen to the opinions of these mortals..."
"It's a misunderstanding."
As soon as the mountain monster finished speaking, Jiang Xia put down the tea bowl, smiled and bowed to the mountain monster, and said:
"Just now when I was fighting with the thieves from Ruyifang, Monk Wang swooped down from the sky without any hostility. I think he was deceived by the evildoers and wanted to take advantage of Monk Wang's kindness to escape with his life.
I have lived in Fengyang County for many years and have heard of the name of Monk Wang. He has been honest and protected the people for many years and has never done anything evil.
So today I think this must have been a misunderstanding."
"I don't care about thieves or anything like that!"
The mountain monster snorted, raised his hand, flicked his tail, and said:
"That is your business as mortals, and I have no right to interfere. But as a mortal, are you willing to testify for Wang Liufu that this matter is a misunderstanding?
You mortal, think carefully!
There are already incense-burning city gods near Fengshan, and this monster is not the only one supervising. "
The mountain monster said coldly:
"So this matter must be reported to Tao Fu Yuan. Chan Yi Xian Zun is well-known for his impartiality and keen observation. If anything goes wrong, I will also be implicated."
Hearing this, Wang Liufu's eyes twitched.
He stiffened his neck and looked at Jiang Xia, who gave him a kind smile, then turned to the "iron-faced and impartial" mountain monster and said:
"I am willing to testify."
"Fu"
Wang Liufu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and his stiff body relaxed.
This mortal is very knowledgeable.
He saved me from jail, or even from a fatal disaster, and I have to thank him very much later... Well, I don't know why, but I always feel like I'm being stung by a sting operation ?
Monk Wang's gaze kept moving back and forth between Jiang Xia and the little mountain monster.
This tribe of mountain monsters was notoriously stubborn and could not be tamed, except for the Taofu Academy. Even the Wanshou Sect, which was famous for taming beasts, could not tame them.
They are only loyal to Taofuyuan, which is a well-known fact in the cultivation world. How could a mere mortal be loved by the mountain monsters?
Well, I guess I was overthinking it.
This mortal named Jiang is quite capable of handling things, much better than that dead guy from Ruyifang who only causes trouble for himself.
good.
This young man is really good.
Monk Wang thought so, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the mountain monster folding his arms and screaming:
"This matter is over, but there is still one more thing! You, Mo Shuangshan, did not control your subordinates strictly, and dared to allow the dependent mortals to privately open the star array! What crime should be punished for this!"
"boom"
When Wang Liufu heard this, he lost his balance and slid to the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.
He felt very disappointed.
Privately open the star array?
Oh my god…
This damn Ruyifang, what the hell did it do hiding it from me?
