Chapter 81 The Night is Cool
"The new recruits of Magistrate Hong have entered the city in great style, bringing with them many large carts filled with the heads of some notorious bandits along the way from Fengshan to Fengyang County.
Those who were killed were all your people?"
At night, at Liu's residence, Senior Brother Chu, dressed in white clothes, leaned against the eaves in a casual manner. Behind him was a rising bright moon, which made him look even more like a sage.
Liu Ruyi below also shook his head.
This Senior Brother Chu is good in everything. He has a good personality, is not a bully, and has a simple mind. It is said that he is a genius in practicing Taoism in Mo Shuang Mountain.
But this style...
I don’t know who I learned this from.
No matter what you do, you have to choose it first, just like now, you have to choose an environment that can best highlight your identity as a monk.
He seemed to take his identity as a cultivator very seriously.
And be proud of it.
But this is not a bad habit. Monks all value their face and reputation.
It is said that in other countries of the Eastern Mortal World, some mortals who wanted to please a certain monk would use the monk's story as a blueprint, polish it a little, write some interesting books, and praise the monk.
For this purpose, a group of pen-wielding people were specially hired.
This is what it means to cater to someone's preferences.
Very low level.
But it is an effective method.
Hearing Senior Brother Chu's curious question, Liu Ruyi, who was carrying a small bag, shook his head and replied softly:
"Those are not mine. I raised them for the second prince, who said they could be used when he planned something big in the future. But unfortunately, the prince probably didn't understand the principle of being bold when the time came.
When faced with the old king's personal guards surrounding his mansion, he surrendered obediently, but sold out my Ruyifang completely."
"It seems that Junior Brother Ruyi's vision in betting is really not that good."
Senior Brother Chu's figure flashed, and seemed to disappear into a stream of gauze under the moonlight, and then reappeared beside Liu Ruyi. He patted Liu Ruyi's shoulder with an admonishing tone, and said comfortingly:
“But this can’t be blamed on Junior Brother Ruyi. You can’t read the qi and divination, and you can’t search the soul. How could you know that the Second Prince is a hopeless person?
That's all.
Now that you have made up your mind, don’t think about it anymore.”
At this point, Senior Brother Chu suddenly looked back, as if he had sensed something. He turned back and said to Liu Ruyi:
"There is a large group of people coming to Ruyi Market. They should be here for you. Do you want to say a few words to them? Or do you want to follow me now? "
"have nothing to say."
Liu Ruyi tightened the small bag on his back, looked back at the Liu residence shrouded in the night, and said:
“I don’t want to hear them mocking me as the winner, nor do I want to see those people who were lying in front of me like dogs now showing off their power.
They weren't the ones who won me over.
They don't even have the right to sit at the table.
So, let them, the ignorant, enjoy this victory of ignorance. "
He lowered his head, clenched his fists, touched the white mourning band on his left hand, and said softly:
“Before sending others to hell, you must always give them a good meal. This carnival tonight will be their last meal.
Like my Liu family, even if we fall, it won't be silent.
These greedy wild dogs are sacrifices to my brother. The cruel old dog Hong will personally deliver the sacrifices to my brother.
I have no regrets other than losing."
"Let's go, Brother Chu."
Liu Ruyi strode forward in the cool night and said:
"The mortal Liu Ruyi has died today, taking with him all his grievances in the mortal world. From now on, I should live on as a cultivator."
"Okay, let's go."
Senior Brother Chu was also very cool. He waved his long sleeves casually, and a wooden kite like the one Wang Liufu used flew out from his sleeves, circled around the two of them, and finally stopped in front of Liu Ruyi.
This wooden kite seems to be the standard equipment for the inner sect monks of Mo Shuang Mountain.
It is used as a means of long-distance transportation and can occasionally be used for low-intensity combat.
However, compared to Wang Liufu's crane-shaped wooden kite, Senior Brother Chu's wooden kite looks more domineering. It is dark all over, and its wings are decorated with feathers.
The head in the front is sculpted into a ferocious hawk with a sharp beak and two sapphires as the eyes of the wooden kite.
It has flexible and sharp claws under its body, emitting a cold glow in the moonlight.
"Junior Brother Ruyi has a mortal body and lives a life of luxury. He cannot withstand the magic of teleportation. He is afraid that his meridians will be crushed. He can only go to the divine talisman in the city and use the teleportation formation to the vicinity of Mo Shuang Mountain."
Senior Brother Chu touched the head of his mighty wooden kite and said to Liu Ruyi:
"Since you have officially entered the mountain gate as an inner sect disciple, you cannot be careless about the etiquette. After arriving at the foot of the mountain, wait for a few months. When the talent selection ceremony begins, you must formally pay homage to the mountain.
Walking up the nine hundred steps with your own feet shows your sincerity.
I also have to inform Master in advance so that everything can be arranged for you, my junior brother.
We in Mo Shuang Mountain are not very populous.
The admission of every inner sect disciple is a very important matter. Although the sect master has been in seclusion for many years, at least two of the three elders must come forward to certify the inheritance. "
Liu Ruyi nodded.
Even mortals know that the immortal sect has strict rules.
Especially since Mo Shuang Mountain is ranked among the 33 sects of the Immortal Alliance, although it is only at the bottom, it still has to take all the necessary steps.
He sat on the back of the kite.
Senior Brother Chu waved his finger, and the wooden kite flapped its wings and rose up as if riding the wind.
Senior Brother Chu did not ride the wooden kite himself. The spiritual energy around him circulated and turned into a cloud of mist, which carried him up into the air with his hands behind his back.
Her long hair dances behind her, showing her extraordinary elegance.
The cultivators at the Cunzhen Realm can already ride on clouds, but riding on clouds at this level is not very magical except for demonstrating one's status.
Wang Liufu, who is also a Cunzhen cultivator, doesn't do these fancy things.
Every time he appeared, he was riding a wooden kite driven by spirit stones. He never consumed his own spiritual power, and he transformed into useless clouds and mist to show off.
“Inner sect disciples are bound by sect rules. Although Junior Brother Ruyi has a deep connection with my Mo Shuang Mountain, I don’t think he understands these very well, so I will explain them to Junior Brother Ruyi.
It’s okay if you can’t remember it now.
Anyway, these rules must be memorized after entering the sect."
Senior Brother Chu is really a very enthusiastic person.
He took Mu Yuan and Liu Ruyi with him, and flew towards the teleportation talisman in Fengyang County in the night. He explained the rules of the sect to Liu Ruyi in detail.
Although Liu Ruyi had no worries anymore, she was still very frustrated. However, she still forced herself to cheer up and memorize Brother Chu's explanation carefully.
Rules are important everywhere.
For a businessman like him, finding loopholes in the rules and exploiting them has become an instinct.
The two of them talked and one listened under the moonlit night sky, crossing the county town's skyline. Ruyifang Market was already very lively, and Fengyang county town was not very large, so the noise was endless.
But along the way, no one noticed the two people in the night sky, because the hidden symbol on the wooden kite was opened, and mortal eyes could not see them at all.
The closer he got to the county town where the talisman was moved, the calmer Liu Ruyi felt.
He is also decisive.
After a few breaths, the wooden kite flapped its wings and descended to the location of the Immortal Alliance talisman at the edge of the street ahead in the cool night breeze.
As long as you cross the street, go to the other side, pay a fairy coin, and then you can use the magic talisman to move away.
"Let's go."
Senior Brother Chu also came down, waved his sleeves, and took a step forward.
Liu Ruyi looked back for the last time at the city shrouded in darkness, and followed his senior brother forward.
"Buzz"
The shrill buzzing sound, with the heavy sound effect of blasting the street, sounded at the street corner, like a muffled thunder.
It caught the attention of both of them.
They looked outside and saw a strange-looking "iron horse" supported by two rapidly rotating wheels. Amid the vibrations from the exhaust pipe, it tore through the night and rushed into the silent street.
The headlights in front of the motorcycle cast a dazzling beam of light, illuminating the two people on the street and stretching their backs out.
Senior Brother Chu doesn’t care.
This light source will not affect his vision.
He looked at the motorcycle rushing towards the two of them with curiosity, but Liu Ruyi was not able to do so.
In the strong light, he instinctively raised his left hand, covered his eyes, and looked out through the gaps between his fingers.
In the oncoming, completely unclear light source, I could vaguely see a person riding on an iron horse, with both hands on the handlebars and wearing strange-looking goggles.
Ten meters away from the two people, Jiang Xia slammed the brakes, supported his left foot on the ground for a moment, and used his body to change the direction of the motorcycle.
"Tear it up"
The rapidly spinning wheels left elongated black spark marks on the bluestone bricks, and finally the car made a graceful 90-degree turn and stopped steadily in the middle of the street.
Jiang Xia moved his shoulders, pushed his left foot, pumped up the air in his legs, and the knight stood up.
He put a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, took off the goggles on his face, and threw them without even looking at them, and they happened to hang on the handlebars of the motorcycle.
He reached out and tugged at his collar, then took a step forward.
The windbreaker on his body swayed and stopped seven meters in front of Senior Brother Chu and Liu Ruyi.
"My name is Jiang Xia!"
He pointed at his face, without even looking at Senior Brother Chu, his eyes fixed on Liu Ruyi who was carrying a bag.
This was the first time the two met.
When their eyes met, Jiang Xia saw a wrinkled face and also saw the sparks burning in Liu Ruyi's eyes, like a piece of dying firewood that was covered with a layer of kerosene.
So, Jiang Xia set another fire.
He lowered his head, protected his right hand with his left hand, and lit the cigarette in the corner of his mouth with the crisp sound of the lighter carved with a crow relief.
The red flames flickered in the night, and Jiang Xia's cold voice sounded again.
"Your useless brother Liu Bao...
I killed him!"
Seeing Liu Ruyi clenching his fists, Lao Jiang smiled sincerely, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said softly:
“I have settled my account with Master Bao, and I will settle my account with your Ruyifang tonight, but Brother Ruyi, you are going to travel far away in this state, right?
Just abandon everything like that, run back to your dad crying and begging for candy like a spineless, bullied piece of trash?"
"you……"
Liu Ruyi's eyes were blazing with fire. He took a step forward and was about to speak.
But Senior Brother Chu stretched out his hand and blocked him.
On his slender right hand, he was wearing a pair of green gloves that seemed to be outlined with silk and had shining symbols on them. There was no sign of how Senior Brother Chu moved.
Then a green light like a sword appeared in front of the two people.
"He's irritating you."
Senior Brother Chu whispered:
"This is a very low-level method in fighting. Don't be fooled. With me protecting you, he won't dare to do it. Go! Use the teleportation talisman and leave here!"
"Oh, the crying baby is leaving now."
Senior Brother Chu's words were not meant to be avoided by Jiang Xia. He heard them clearly, but did not try to stop him. He just blew out a puff of smoke and shouted to Liu Ruyi who turned around:
"I thought you were a tough opponent, but you disappointed me. Brother Ruyi, you are a seven-foot-tall man, and your enemy is right in front of you, but you don't even have the courage to fight?
I came here tonight with all sincerity, wanting to settle the accounts between us.
Just you and me.
Two ordinary people.
you……
Are you so afraid of me?
Don't you want to know what Liu Bao said to me when I killed him?
Do you know that Liu Bao died in great pain? I tortured him severely! He cried like a little girl, pitiful, helpless, and a complete wimp!
Do you know whose name he shouted when he broke down?
Do you know that when he was dying in terrible pain, he was looking forward to someone... to save him from despair?"
Jiang Xia took the cigarette, threw it on the ground, and stomped it out.
He said loudly:
“You disappointed him, Liu Ruyi!
You can't save your useless brother, just like you can't save your Ruyifang now.
get out.
Go away as a loser.
you.
Not the kind of opponent I expected.”
As he spoke, Jiang Xia turned around and spat toward the side with disdain.
Said contemptuously:
"A man who can't even protect his own family and doesn't even dare to avenge his brother himself... is such trash!"
"boom"
Jiang Xia took three steps forward and heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind him.
A triumphant smile appeared on his face. He turned around and saw Liu Ruyi taking out some strange things from the bag at his feet.
"Just you and me!"
The abbot slowly stood up, held the things in his hands, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Two mortals! Here! Only one can survive!"
"Shua"
The large-caliber revolver turned a circle in Jiang Xia's palm like a magic trick and stopped steadily. He wiped his forehead with the muzzle of the gun, and when he raised his head again, there was no trace of a smile on his face.
"Okay! As you wish."
"Hey, handsome monk over there, you heard me. We have already agreed that this is a fight between mortals. There are things in the sky watching you, so don't interfere."
