180, the eldest sister is artistic, and the talented woman is poisonous
Chapter 181 180, the eldest sister is high, and the talented woman is poisonous
Hearing this slightly stiff female voice, Shen Lang immediately released his spiritual power, swept towards Bai Shishi's side, and saw Bai Shishi lowering her eyebrows, folding her hands on her lower abdomen, standing obediently in the pavilion like a proper maid, without any movement.
Shen Lang's eyes were satisfied, and then he looked sideways in the direction where the female voice came.
On the side of the pond rockery, there was a woman in red standing with a black sheath sword in her hand, who was almost the same height as him.
The woman in red is not only tall and long-legged, but also slightly stiff in facial features, and her eyes are also extremely sharp, if it weren't for her towering chest, slender waist, full hip line, and shoulders not as hard and broad as a man, at first glance, she would really be recognized as a tall and strong handsome man.
Shen Lang asked with a smile, "Who is the girl?" ”
The woman in red looked Shen Lang up and down with sharp eyes, as if she was examining him, and at the same time said in a slightly stiff voice:
"I'm Liang Zheng's senior sister. The fifth generation disciple of Mingjian Villa, Lin Meng. ”
"It turned out to be the 'Senior Sister Lin' that Brother Liang said!"
Shen Lang looked solemn and respectful, and bowed his hand:
"In the next season, Ruxue, a southerner, known as the 'Empty Child', has seen Miss Lin!"
Lin Mengwei, the woman in red, bowed her head:
"Ji Gongzi is polite. Lin is good at martial arts, and he likes to meet friends with martial arts, and I heard that Ji Gongzi's palm power is amazing, I don't know if I can learn a thing or two? ”
Shen Lang was stunned:
"Miss Lin wants to compete with Zaixia? But Miss Lin is a five-grade master, and she is only a sixth-grade master in the lower cultivation, and this realm is really far from Miss Lin......"
Lin Meng said lightly:
"The three grades in the martial arts, only the qualitative changes have begun to occur, and the four grades of true qi that have been prepared for the 'upper three grades' are high and unattainable. Below the fourth grade, the sixth grade and the fifth grade, in essence, are only driving the 'internal force', and there is no insurmountable gap.
"Many talented martial artists, the internal force of the six-grade realm is already more refined and condensed than that of the fifth-grade martial artist, and one point of internal force can be equal to the internal force of the idle five-grade three-point internal force. Compared with the five-rank martial artists, it is just that they can't release their internal forces and can't attack from afar.
"But even if you can't release your internal strength, if you fight in close combat, those martial arts geniuses can also rely on their pure and condensed internal strength to cross the border and defeat the idle five-rank martial artists. Like Yan Wufeng and Wu Tianhong, when the six-rank is completed, they can already cross the border and defeat the mid-five-rank martial artist.
"I listened to Liang Zheng's words, and I admired Ji Gongzi's 'cold ice palm power' a lot, and I couldn't help but see that I was happy with the hunt, and I really wanted to learn a thing or two. Ji Gongzi rest assured, since I am in charge of the teaching, I will not rely on the realm to attack you from afar, and I will be close to you. ”
Shen Lang groaned:
"Miss Kolin is practicing kendo, and I am practicing palms. Is it unfair to Miss Lin to be close to each other? ”
The corners of Lin Meng's lips were slightly raised, revealing a slightly proud smile:
"Although I practice kendo, I have also dabbled in palm techniques, and I have practiced a hand of 'Zhenshan Palm', and my confident palm power is only slightly inferior to the 'Melting Iron and Gold Hand' without words."
Shen Lang nodded:
"That being the case, it is inconvenient for Ji to refuse."
He looked left and right:
"This place is the venue of the poetry club, wouldn't it be inappropriate to compete here?"
Around the pavilion where Shen Lang and Bai Shishi are located, there are many pavilions, which are distributed in a ring among the flowers and trees, and the stars are clustered around a wide pavilion with a red carpet and a table of desks.
The pavilion, surrounded by many pavilions, is the main venue of tonight's poetry meeting.
The talented women of the Tianxiang Society, as well as the well-known scribes and martial arts junjie of Luling Mansion, will participate in the poetry meeting on the Taiwan Pavilion.
And Shen Lang, a strange warrior from other places, or a foreign scholar with no reputation, can only drink tea and drink wine in the pavilion around the pavilion, and watch the grand event.
But if the literary talent and martial arts are amazing and are unanimously recognized by everyone, they can also go to the cabinet and transfer the seat from the "audience" to the "big stage".
At this time, there were only some maids and servants on the central pavilion who were busy arranging the venue, and in the pavilions around the pavilion, there were already many people, all of whom were foreign scholars and warriors who came to attend the meeting.
There are people who like to socialize, and they are visiting from the pavilions to meet new people. There are also groups of three or five, gathered in a gazebo, and talked loudly. There are also those who sit alone in the pavilion, drink tea alone, and make a high-ranking posture.
Shen Lang and Bai Shishi first arrived, and the two pavilions on the left and right were still empty, and they had not attracted attention for the time being.
But if you fight with Lin Meng, you can't say that it will disturb everyone and attract attention. And Shen Lang's trip is to return to his old business and go undercover to investigate the case, but he doesn't want to be too high-profile and be noticed by too many people.
But he wanted to change places, but Lin Meng said lightly:
"It doesn't matter. Tonight's poetry meeting is the 'Wenwu Poetry Meeting', where the martial artists compete with each other and the literati give poems to praise the martial arts style of my great Chu Dynasty. At that time, there will be many competitions in this venue, and you and I will compete here, which is in line with the theme of tonight's poetry meeting. Besides, it's just a comparison of palm power, not a martial arts move, and it won't alarm others. ”
Shen Lang was helpless, so he could only nod his head:
"Okay, let's learn Miss Lin's wisdom here."
Lin Meng smiled slightly, held a sword in his left hand, stepped out of his long legs, and strode over:
"The essence of my 'earthquake palm' lies in the word 'earthquake', which can trigger some internal 'resonance' with the power of the palm. If you hit the stone, the stubborn stone will turn into powder, and if you hit the iron, the steel will burst. If it hits a person, the surface of the body seems to be fine, but the internal organs are already torn apart...... With this palm power, I am especially good at breaking the internal force of the body and practicing hard skills, so you have to be careful. ”
As she spoke, she raised her right hand, and the skin of her palm trembled at high frequency, so that the air around her palm was vibrated and stirred, turning into a slight breeze, blowing away in all directions.
"Miss Lin is bright!"
Shen Lang laughed, also took a step, walked towards Lin Meng, raised his right palm at the same time, and said in a deep voice:
"My family has learned the 'Ice Palm', the palm power is extremely cold, and it has the ability to coagulate blood into ice. When I was slapped, the blood all over my body would congeale into ice. Even if the internal strength of the body is deep, it will also be affected by the cold palm power, the qi and blood will be stagnant, the muscles will be stiff, and the agility will be greatly reduced, and the more you fight, the weaker it will become. ”
As he spoke, a trace of white gas came out of his palm, exuding a cold chill.
Of course, Shen Lang doesn't know anything about "ice palms".
He just cultivated the Nanhai School's "Xuan Bing Jin" mental method, which can make his internal force bring freezing attributes.
As for the palm technique that urges the frozen internal force, it is only Sha Wanli's "tidal palm".
However, although the Tide Palm is only a four-grade martial art, in terms of nature, it is quite similar to "Xuan Bing Jin", and it is the martial art that can best exert the power of "Xuan Bing Jin" among Shen Lang's learning.
The other martial arts are all a little meaningless, and they can't maximize the power of Xuan Bingjin.
Shen Lang and Lin Meng both gathered their strength in their palms and walked towards each other, and soon the distance between the two sides was only three steps.
"Let's shoot!" Lin Meng said in a deep voice.
Her realm is higher, of course, she has to let the "empty boy" strike first.
Shen Lang was also not polite, and said:
"Miss Lin, be careful!"
With a palm in his hand, he slapped Lin Meng on the ground.
Although he doesn't have the ability to release internal force, when he slapped this palm, the cold wind stirred up by the palm force still made people feel a heavy sense of oppression with a knife cutting their faces and suffocating their breathing.
The cold wind was blowing, Lin Meng's face did not change, and he said lightly:
"Good time!"
The voice was also slapped with a palm, and when the bare hand broke through the air, there was a slight buzzing sound on the skin of the palm that trembled at high frequency.
Kiss!
There was a crisp sound, and the two palms intersected.
Shen Lang only felt a strange concussive force, easily shattering the cold internal force on his palm, instantly invading the meridians of his palm, when the internal force on his palm disappeared, the tendons of his palm also buzzed and vibrated involuntarily, and in an instant, the entire right hand, from the fingertips to the wrist, became numb, soft and weak.
Shen Lang unabashedly showed a look of shock, took two steps back, lowered his right hand, his fingers trembled and twitched slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Miss Lin is so powerful!"
"Ji Gongzi is overrated. If you and I are in the same realm, you and I should be equally divided in this palm. ”
Lin Meng said lightly, looking down at his right hand, the back of his hand seemed to be covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost.
However, Lin Meng just shook her palm slightly, and the layer of hoarfrost splashed out, and her palm returned to its original state in a blink of an eye.
"Ji Gongzi's icy palm power is really extraordinary, no wonder Liang Zheng's junior brother is full of praise. Thank you Ji Gongzi for your advice, Lin still has something to do, so he lost his company first, and after the poetry meeting, he will discuss martial arts with Ji Gongzi. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Bai Shishi in the pavilion casually, but he didn't notice anything unusual, he couldn't help frowning slightly, retracted his gaze, nodded at Shen Lang again, and turned to leave.
Bai Shishi is blessed with the "All Beings" spell, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to make small movements to communicate, then even if Lin Meng's true cultivation is in the middle of the fourth grade, she can't see through the disguise on Bai Shishi's body.
Shen Lang looked at Lin Meng with a smile, and only then did she walk leisurely back into the pavilion until her back disappeared into the flowers and trees.
"You're hurt?"
Looking at his right hand, which trembled and twitched occasionally, Bai Shishi said in surprise.
Shen Lang's spiritual power surged out, scanning the surroundings.
Within a radius of twenty meters, even if someone lurked underground, they would not be able to escape his spiritual power scan.
And if someone is outside the range of the mental power scan, someone is watching and listening from a distance, and his "spiritual warning" can also detect it.
After making sure that there was no one around, he said leisurely:
"Miss Lin's 'Earthquake Mountain Palm' is extremely domineering. Even if she hid her true cultivation and didn't use her true qi, she only used her internal force to make a palm, and she also suppressed a little bit of palm power, her palm shouldn't be the 'Empty Child' who could follow unscathed.
"With her palm power, if she doesn't suppress her strength, even if she only uses the five-grade cultivation as her palm, under one palm, the bone meridians of the entire arm of the martial artist who are waiting for the six-grade mastery will be shattered."
Bai Shishi frowned and said:
"But if you use the same domineering palm technique when you are facing me, you should be able to safely take over the power of her five-grade cultivation."
Shen Lang smiled:
"Why did she come to me to test her strength? Do you really think that she is happy to see the hunt and wants to meet friends with martial arts? ”
Bai Shishi was stunned:
"What do you mean......"
Shen Lang said leisurely:
"She's tempting...... Her sentence 'Zhenshan palm power is especially good at breaking the internal force of the body and practicing hard skills' is not untargeted. I bet that every unidentified foreign warrior who came to the Tianxiang Society today will be tempted. ”
Therefore, when Shen Lang was in the palm of his hand, not only could he not urge the iron cloth shirt and golden bell jar on the martial arts side to increase the strength of his palm, but even his second-order skin strengthening, bone strengthening, and even the tendon strength brought by second-order agility enhancement needed to be adjusted and suppressed by himself, so that the skin and muscles of his palm should not be too tough.
This time, he was bound to suffer some minor injuries.
Of course, this injury is not painful or itchy for him, and he does not need to deliberately heal the injury, and he can heal quickly with the self-healing ability strengthened by the second-order vitality.
“……”
Bai Shishi covered her head with a headache:
"You scheming hearts are dirty. I'm just a killer who only knows how to fight and kill, and my brain is stupid and I can't keep up. ”
Shen Lang was surprised:
"Stupid, how did you become a well-known bounty killer? Professional killers need to know how to lay out and understand tactics, the kind of stunned young man who relies on good martial arts and is reckless when he puts on a knife is just a gift to someone's head. ”
It's like when he just left Yingzhou two months ago, most of the hired killers who came to hunt him down were extremely unprofessional, and as a result, he killed them all and buried hundreds of people in the first war.
Bai Shishi said:
"Of course, my sisters help me listen to intelligence, arrange a killing situation, and even weaken the enemy in advance, I don't have to care about anything, I just need to follow the sisters' arrangements and reap the harvest. That's how my reputation as a well-known bounty killer was forged. ”
Shen Lang thoughtfully:
"So it seems...... You should be the target arranged by the Seven Spider Sisters, who specifically pushes you to be famous and puts you on the bright side to attract firepower.
"Once the Seven Spider Sisters show their feet and are targeted, you, the Black Spider, will bear the brunt. Just like this time, the secret agent of the Divine Capture Hall, the first person to investigate is you.
"Other spiders that hide their true identities can use you as a cover and calmly lay out to deal with them. and even use you as bait to lure out the investigators and eliminate them.
"Even if you don't end up with the investigation, you can be cut off by just throwing you out. Anyway, it's impossible for you to betray their true identities, and even be willing to die for them, and stupidly think that you can return to the demon god and serve the god for eternity......"
Seeing Bai Shishi's eyes glaring and opening her mouth to refute, Shen Lang smiled:
"Don't be upset just yet, I'm just speculating on a possibility. In other words, among the seven sisters, you are the only one with the worst background, and you have no family background or connections, right? ”
Bai Shishi was slightly stunned, and stopped talking.
Shen Lang continued:
"The other few of the seven sisters are either disciples of the big sect, or the daughters of the head of the Chamber of Commerce, or the eldest lady from a famous family, or the father of a martial arts tycoon......
"It's just you, alone, with no money and no power. So you're not the youngest next year, but you're the last of the Seven Sisters. obviously doesn't have the brains to be a killer, but he arranged for you to be a bounty killer and become famous......"
Bai Shishi pursed her lips, pinched the corners of her clothes with her fingers, lowered her chin, and her eyes were gloomy.
Shen Lang said earnestly:
"So, the more stupid you are, the less you can believe in cults. If you believe in a cult, you will only become more and more stupid, and eventually become an idiot and be at the mercy of others. ”
Bai Shishi's face was expressionless:
"Don't tell me this, I don't want to hear it right now."
"Okay. Then I'll change the subject. If I have a conflict with Yue Ling'er, will Yan Wufeng and Wu Tianhong help her? ”
"Of course I will help her."
"But what if I reveal Yue Ling'er's identity and the evil things she has done?"
"They'll help her, too."
Shen Lang was surprised:
"Why? Yan and Wu are not some unconcerned Jiangyang thieves, they are all land-sitting households with family backgrounds, and they dare to take such a big risk to open their eyes for the demon girl who worships the demon god and kills people and sacrifices blood? ”
Bai Shishi said expressionlessly:
"The two of them have long fallen into the cobwebs, both physically and mentally captured, and have completely indulged in the trap of gentleness, and have already helped kill many people. Now, even if they were to destroy themselves, they would only hesitate a little at most. ”
"Understood. Yue Ling'er's ability seems to be related to corrupting people's hearts......"
Shen Lang nodded thoughtfully, and closed his eyes again:
"I've got a slight injury to my palm, and now I'm going to start healing......"
After saying that, he pretended to heal his wounds.
At the same time.
In a small hall.
Yue Ling'er, the first talented woman of Tianxiang Society and also known as the first talented woman in Luling, is grooming herself in the mirror.
Lin Meng, dressed in red and carrying a long sword, pushed the door in and said:
"One more is excluded. The 'empty son' Ji Ruxue is not disguised as an illegal sea. ”
Yue Ling'er said:
"Oh? Can the eldest sister be sure? ”
"Of course you know."
Lin Meng's tone was full of strong confidence:
"His palm power is purely cold, and it is completely different from the kind of grandiose, mighty and masculine Buddhism palm described by the seventh sister's secret message, and even opposes each other. And his palms, flesh, muscles and bones, although he is much tougher than ordinary six-rank martial artists, there is no sign of practicing horizontal hard skills.
"The girl ring next to him has no traces of martial arts on his body, just an ordinary woman, and there is nothing unusual when she sees me, when she is not the seventh sister who is disguised and pretended.
"So fourth sister, I'm afraid you guessed wrong this time. Fahai probably didn't have the courage to infiltrate the Tianxiang Society to investigate, and he might have taken the seventh sister and sneaked to Jingshi. ”
Yue Ling'er frowned and said softly:
"It shouldn't be! Judging from Na Fahai's behavior all the way, especially his unhesitating behavior of killing the government and arresting the fast, it is clear that he is a person who is self-assured, bold, and even lawless.
"I designed him like this, and I also planted the blame and made him bear dozens of bloody cases, with his temperament, how could he swallow this breath?"
Lin Meng leaned his back against the door frame, held his sword on his chest, and said lightly:
"Didn't you say that the bald donkey of Buddhism is the most skillful and the best at verbal demagogy, and the seventh sister has been deterred and frightened by the 'killing Arhat', and there are flaws in the heart, and she may be confused by the lotus flower of the Fahai tongue, and inadvertently reveal our strength?
"Knowing our strength, no matter how bold Fahai is, he should have a little self-knowledge, how dare he take the initiative to investigate our and other fourth-grade martial artists with a mere sixth-grade cultivation?"
Yue Ling'er bowed slightly:
The eldest sister is reasonable, but the younger sister is still a little worried. According to the little sister's opinion, it is better to kill the mistake, don't let it go. Today, all outsiders of unknown origin, regardless of the literati or samurai, have left them in the manor under the pretext of providing them with lodging, and sacrificed them all to our lord. ”
