Chapter 18: Counter-Killing
Gu Chen knew that the toad's eyes were suspicious, and it wasn't until the tenth day that he went to chop wood on his head before he dared to sit down and cultivate in the depths of the big forest, and he hit and promoted to the acquired martial soul realm again and again, but failed again and again.
It seems that the rush is too high, and the foundation is still not solid. Gu Chen thought about it, once again using his true qi to wash away the unknown places that had been opened before again and again, feeling the pleasure of being activated in every part of his body,
Fan Xiaobi, who was sitting not far away, had also successfully advanced to the ninth level of the Acquired Martial Spirit, but he was also blocked here and could not move forward.
On this day, it rained heavily, and the two took shelter in the forest, and the heavy rain stopped in the middle of the night. On the way back to the temple, they heard a fight in a house on the side of the road, and the two climbed up the wall and looked inside, and saw a fat boy about their age holding a steamed bun in his hand, surrounded and beaten by a group of people.
When Fan Xiaotan saw it, he was sure that this guy had stolen other people's steamed buns. It didn't matter to himself, and said to Gu Chen: "Third Young Master, let's go back early, it's already late today." ”
As soon as Gu Chen met this, he remembered the first time he saved the old man, and naturally remembered the ten-year appointment with Lord Yama, in case he died ten years later and could not escape the scrutiny of the underworld, it was better to save himself first and accumulate some merits.
However, he didn't want to expose his martial arts by himself, who knows if this was a deliberate game set up by Toad Eye. Thinking of this, he said to Fan Xiaobi: "Go down and save that fat man, you see how pitiful people are, if you don't save them, I'm afraid you will be beaten to death." ”
"Third Young Master, I'm *one* book* reading *little* to say ybdu, and I may not be able to beat those people. Fan Xiaotang said. But I was thinking in my heart, the third young master has become very different from before recently, why didn't you hurt people but started to save people, you can't save people yourself, and you still want me to go down and take risks, is it worth it for this person you don't know?
"Don't talk nonsense, if you go down and save the fat man and run out, it'll be fine, and those people won't chase after a steamed bun. After Gu Chen finished speaking, he pushed hard, but Fan Xiaotian didn't pay attention to it, and was pushed down.
"Ahh Fan Xiaobi stumbled to the ground, and when he looked up, there was no one on the wall.
Suddenly someone fell from the wall, and those people were frightened and dodged, and Fan Xiaotian landed right next to the fat man.
The fat man had nowhere to escape, he looked at the person, he didn't know him, he was very moved, and said word by word: "Big brother, you and I met in Pingshui, I didn't expect you to rescue you with righteousness, and the little brother is really grateful......
"Ahem, that, come with me-" Fan Xiaodan didn't know what to say at the moment, so he picked up the fat man and ran out. The heart said, it's already like this, just be a good person.
When those people saw it, they shouted and chased out, but they didn't chase after a few steps, and they didn't chase after it, and it wasn't worth it for a steamed bun.
Gu Chen saw Fan Xiaotian rescue the fat man in front, and he was in a good mood: "Xiaotian is becoming more and more chivalrous." ”
The fat man thanked him again, Gu Chen asked where his home was, the fat man didn't have a home, asked what his name was, he didn't have a name, he wandered around, he was hungry and was caught stealing a steamed bun. The two saw that the fat man had nowhere to go, so they took them together and headed towards Foguang Temple.
It happened that the abbot went out to watch the night scene after the rain, and when he met the three of them, he could see at a glance that this fat man had a unique cultivation talent, and the old abbot was pleasantly surprised when he looked at it carefully. actually collected the fat man directly, because he collected the fat man on this beautiful rainy night, so he was given the law name rain.
Gu Chen and Fan Xiaotan were extremely envious, and they also begged to apprentice. The old abbot smiled slightly: "This is fate, you and I have no master-apprentice relationship, so don't worship me." ”
Just now, all the way, seeing that the fat man was sometimes stupid and stupid, he couldn't imagine that he was directly accepted by the old abbot as a closed disciple, which simply subverted Gu Chen and Fan Xiaodan's understanding of Foguang Temple's acceptance of disciples.
The two returned to the accommodation arranged by Toad Eye, and although there was a little injustice in their hearts, there was nothing to say. It can only be said that the fat man is too lucky.
Early the next morning, the two of them were about to go out to collect firewood, when they heard the toad eye confess: "Xiao Guts, you go to continue to collect firewood today, Gu Chen left to clean and sort out the scriptures in the library today, and someone will come to send a lot of new books in a few days, I will take you to sort it out." ”
Gu Chen followed, cleaning and sorting out the scriptures. I was overjoyed to find the "Golden Buddha Palm" that is said to be a peerless study of Foguang Temple, and relied on the ability to never forget, and took advantage of the free time to write down many martial arts cheats one by one.
It took a week to sort out the books, and on this day, Gu Chen was handed over something by Toad Eyes, saying that it was the abbot who personally explained the matter, and ordered him to hand over the things to a person under the mountain, and that person opened a letter inside on the spot.
Gu Chen didn't think much about it when he left the temple gate, and went down the mountain with his things.
When he came to the joint, he waited for about a meal before he saw a masked man sneaking towards him. Gu Chen's first feeling was that he was not a good person, but because the toad eye said that it was the abbot's explanation, Gu Chen didn't think much about it.
The masked man drew three circles in the air towards Gu Chen, and Gu Chen replied to a triangle according to the toad's instructions, and then the man walked in front of Gu Chen with confidence: "Where's the thing?"
Gu Chen stretched out his hand and handed the thing to the man, and told the man to open the letter now to read the contents. Gu Chen thought that he had finished what he needed to do, so he turned around and walked back.
I didn't know that I hadn't taken a few steps, but I heard the masked man say coldly: "Stop!"
Gu Chen turned back a little puzzled and said, "Is there anything else?"
The masked man's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent: "You can only know about sending things to two people at most, except for him and me, you must keep it a secret with death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the masked man stabbed at Gu Chen with a Xuanyin sword in his hand.
Gu Chen jumped aside in a hurry and said angrily, "Who are you?"
"Go and ask Lord Yama!" the masked man stabbed him a second time. Gu Chen dodged again.
"No, didn't the letter say that this kid doesn't know martial arts?" the masked man was a little puzzled.
At the juncture of Gu Chen's life, how could he not fight? He quickly activated his True Qi, and his Qi Fist directly rose to the eighth layer, and he blasted and killed the masked man.
Boom -
The masked man was forced to take two steps back by the powerful fist, and his eyes were even more suspicious: "You, don't you know martial arts? Could it be that the person Toad Eyes wants to kill is me?"
When Gu Chen heard this, he was just to make him upset, and then said: "You are very smart, he once told me that as long as you do it, let me carry your head back to see him at all costs!"
"What! I did exactly what he said!" the masked man was confused.
Through a few fights just now, Gu Chen found that this masked man was actually faster, and his cultivation realm was not high. It should be a little person who specializes in running errands for people.
"Since Toad Eye wants him to kill me, I must not let this person go, I must kill him, and get the evidence that Toad Eye wants to kill me and go back to the temple to be handed over to the abbot for disposal. Thinking of this, Gu Chen once again swung his fist and pressed towards the masked man.
The masked man retreated step by step, and seeing Gu Chen's momentum again, it seemed that his cultivation was not below him, and he was even more bottomless in his heart.
Gu Chen took advantage of his panic, came to his side, swept his legs on the spot, and forced the masked man to jump up and be distracted, he quickly took out the dagger from his trouser leg and foot, and as soon as the masked man landed, the dagger stabbed into the masked man's abdomen.
