Volume 16: The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword (Part 1) Chapter 371 Bai Xiaosheng's Conspiracy
Su Weiyun's sword split into three parts, attacking the three monks Xinhu, Xinmei and Xinjian respectively.
The three sword lights pierced apart, like three petals of a flower, but in the center a figure was faintly reflected, like an ancient monk in meditation, sitting upright in a lotus.
This was not some miracle, but an illusion created by the shadow of Bodhidharma reflected on the stone wall in the cave where he was facing the wall, being illuminated by the sword light and flashing in front of the cave.
However, this illusion immediately startled Master Xinhu and Master Xinmei.
The two were stunned at the same time. When they were about to step back, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and gently grabbed them, like a tiger's claw.
The iron fingers of that hand were like hooks, which immediately grabbed the four major acupoints of "Lifeng", "Tianting", "Fufen" and "Pohu" of Master Xinhu, making him dare not move anymore!
It was Bai Xiaosheng who took action!
His martial arts skills were indeed very high. He took advantage of Master Xinhu's unpreparedness and attacked from the side. He succeeded in an instant and subdued the Shaolin Temple's distinguished leader!
The drastic change was beyond imagination, and Master Xinmei couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Bai Xiaosheng, you...!"
However, before he could finish his words, Xinjian took action and blocked his retreat route, forcing to face the Sword of Immortality.
Master Xinmei did not dare to meet the sword tip with his body, so he had to stand still. However, in doing so, Xinjian's fingers touched the Lingtai acupoint on his back.
"Xinjian, Baixiaosheng, what do you mean by this?"
Master Xinmei raised his long eyebrows, looking extremely angry.
Su Weiyun retracted his sword and looked at the four people with a smile, not knowing what Bai Xiaosheng was up to.
Bai Xiaosheng did not move his right hand, still pressing on Master Xinhu's acupuncture points, and said, "Su Weiyun, let me formally introduce myself to you. I am the number one strategist of the Money Gang, Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng."
Su Weiyun suddenly laughed and said, "Golden Money Gang? Is your gang leader Shangguan Jinhong?"
Bai Xiaosheng asked, "So you also know the name of the gang leader?"
Shangguan Jinhong, who ranked second on the "Weapon List", and his Jinqian Gang were still in their latent stage at this time. They were very mysterious and few people knew about them.
Su Weiyun said, "Hahaha, Gang Leader Shangguan is famous and renowned, who doesn't know him? But I'm afraid few people know that Bai Xiaosheng is actually a subordinate of Gang Leader Shangguan of the Money Gang."
Bai Xiaosheng said, "In fact, you should have guessed that when I wrote the Weapon List, I ranked Shangguan Jinhong second exactly, which naturally had a profound meaning."
Su Weiyun nodded and said, "The first position, a big tree attracts the wind, it is inevitable that it will cause a lot of trouble, and people will be dissatisfied, so that position is only suitable for the old man Tianji who is not interested in fame and fortune and whose whereabouts are unpredictable."
Bai Xiaosheng went on to say, "And if the third or fourth place is too far away, it's not enough to intimidate the martial arts world and lead the gangs, so I put the gang leader in the second place."
Su Weiyun asked, "You and Xinjian stole scriptures from the Sutra Library, also for the Money Gang?"
Bai Xiaosheng smiled lightly and admitted, "Yes, the goal of the Money Gang is to become the number one sect in the world, and Shaolin Temple must be the biggest obstacle!"
Master Xinhu closed his eyes and sighed, his sigh filled with sadness and self-blame.
It was really hard for him to accept that the people who stole the scriptures had always been by his side. One was his old friend of decades, and the other was his fellow disciple.
Master Xinmei also sighed, "I have already told Junior Brother Xinshu that I guess the person who stole the sutra is Xinjian, but I was worried that I was wrong... Alas!"
Bai Xiaosheng laughed loudly and said, "Do you think I invited you here to capture Su Weiyun? Not at all. I was just worried that there are so many monks in Shaolin Temple. If we start fighting, it might cause big trouble, so I specially picked a deserted place!"
His plot was finally finished. If nothing unexpected happened, Master Xinhu and Master Xinmei would die in front of the cave where Bodhidharma once faced the wall.
The only variable now is probably Su Weiyun.
So Bai Xiaosheng immediately said sincerely: "Young Master Su, I slandered you before because it was necessary for my plan. It was not my intention. I hope you can forgive me."
Su Weiyun said: "I am just wondering why you came here to kill Master Xinhu and Master Xinmei?"
Bai Xiaosheng said mysteriously: "It was not me who killed them. Someone else killed them."
Su Weiyun asked: "Who will come to kill them?"
Bai Xiaosheng said: "You! Of course it's you!"
Su Weiyun's expression remained unchanged, and she asked calmly, "Are you planning to frame me for the deaths of these two people?"
Bai Xiaosheng said: "No, Xinmei is one of the seven great monks of Shaolin, and Xinhu is even more valuable as the head of Shaolin. If you kill them and use their heads as a token of surrender, you will be prosperous and have a bright future!"
Su Weiyun asked, "A pledge of allegiance? Do you want me to join the Money Gang?"
Bai Xiaosheng said: "That's right! You are proficient in Bodhidharma swordsmanship, which can restrain all Shaolin martial arts. You are the nemesis of Shaolin Temple. Do you think these bald donkeys will really leave such a big scourge alone? If you don't kill him, they will kill you too!"
Master Xinhu said sternly, "I have absolutely no intention of harming Donor Su."
Bai Xiaosheng snorted coldly and said, "As long as you kill them both and join our Money Gang, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future, and you can take any martial arts secrets. You don't have to worry about Shaolin's revenge, because your swordsmanship can restrain Shaolin, and you have the support of Gang Leader Shangguan..."
Su Weiyun smiled and asked, "What will happen if we add Gang Leader Shangguan?"
Bai Xiaosheng's eyes suddenly revealed a look of yearning and expectation, and he said, "Then our Money Gang can first destroy Shaolin, then Wudang, and finally eliminate the Beggars' Sect, and become the most powerful gang in the martial arts world since ancient times!"
Su Weiyun said: "Money is everything. It can do anything. What you said almost makes my heart beat."
Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, "You don't have many choices. If you don't join us, the deaths of Xinhu and Xinmei will of course be witnessed by me and Master Xinjian, and the blame will be put on you. You should be able to imagine that."
Su Weiyun nodded slowly and said, "I have indeed considered it."
Bai Xiaosheng said: "So you can draw your sword now."
"good!"
Su Weiyun drew his sword with his right hand, using the Thirteen Deadly Swords.
Chi!
The sword broke through the air and came suddenly!
This sword was not aimed at Master Xinhu, but at Bai Xiaosheng!
Su Weiyun didn't even hide his purpose from the beginning and stabbed directly at Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng held Master Xinhu hostage in front of him, and could have used his body to block the sword at any time.
But Bai Xiaosheng didn't move.
He found himself suddenly unable to move.
He saw a river, dim and dark, as if it was the legendary Styx that led to the depths of hell.
There is no shadow, flowing into the darkness.
Bai Xiaosheng is the man struggling in the river, but the Styx is boundless and endless, so how can he struggle out?
Suddenly a ferry came across the river, and on the ferry stood a white-haired old man who had seen through the world.
Instead of rescuing him, the white-haired old man stretched out a wooden paddle and hit him hard on the head!
boom!
Bai Xiaosheng's internal energy was running and he suddenly woke up, realizing that his back was completely soaked with cold sweat.
A dazzling sword light immediately appeared before his eyes!
This is the fifteenth fatal sword!
The world is dead silent, and all living beings are sleeping under the sword!
After Su Weiyun understood the usage of the deadly fifteenth sword, he insisted that although this move was extremely powerful, the way it was used must be wrong. However, he actually used this sword again at this time.
The four people present at the scene could never have imagined that the successor of Bodhidharma's swordsmanship would actually use such a life-destroying, almost demonic sword!
