CHAPTER XXVIII
The people of Suzhou have been very anxious lately.
The reason is that there have been two small and small things that have happened in Suzhou recently.
First, not long ago, a woman in red came to Suzhou City, put down a ring in the city, and erected a big banner of "competition to recruit relatives". This kind of courtship is very common in the rivers and lakes, most of the women in order to seek a husband with a high level of cultivation, some of the poor appearance but advanced cultivation of knights can take this opportunity to solve their celibacy problem.
The woman's name is Hongjing, both in figure and appearance is superior, it is difficult for anyone not to be attracted by her, so on the first day to challenge Hongjing, almost half of the city's swordsmen and heroes, in their opinion, Hongjing is a soft and weak woman, not like a martial arts master or a cultivator, and only other competitors in the same city have to deal with.
Then, after a day of fierce fighting, the swordsmen and heroes did not get a chance to fight their competitors at all.
Because no one can beat Hongjing, Hongjing doesn't seem to take these so-called heroes to heart, and after watching them play a set of turtle king eight punches, they casually shoot people off the stage.
After winning, Hongjing will ask the men who challenge her for an item, whether valuable or not, and hang it on the flagpole of the "Martial Arts Competition".
Three days passed, and the flagpole was already full of items left by the knights: wine jugs, scabbards, belts......
"Grandma's, this girl still wants to get married, before Lao Tzu could react, as soon as she stretched out her hand, Lao Tzu was fanned away...... But this girl's hands are thin and the skin and tender meat are quite good-looking. "The big man in the audience tasted back.
"As soon as the bullshit stretched out his hand, how could I look at people and you flew away?" Someone teased.
The big man said angrily: "Let go of your mother's fart, this girl definitely raised her hand, how did she fly without raising her hand?" Could it be that I fart and collapse myself? ”
Before everyone had time to laugh, they heard a cold voice: "One more 'this girl' believe it or not, the old lady sewed your mouth shut." ”
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly lowered their heads and silenced. When the big man lowered his head, he didn't forget to whisper: "Day, this girl's voice is so sweet, Lao Tzu ......"
Before he finished speaking, everyone saw a red shadow flashing in front of them, and the red spirit was already standing in the original position of the big man, and the big man had already flown out of the city in the sky...... Thrown out.
Well, it seems that this is not as cold as it seems on the surface, and her temper is still a little grumpy.
Soon no one went up to challenge Hongjing, and everyone knew that this weak-looking woman was a disciple of any sect on the mountain, and cultivators had to have cultivators to deal with it, not for us ordinary people to touch.
But there are still people who will peek at the figure of the red spirit lying on the bamboo chair, from the perspective of a woman alone, the figure of the red spirit is superb, and the men in the city agree that the red spirit will definitely not see his feet when he bows his head.
And Hongjing didn't care about any of this, just glanced up at the northern sky from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone. Occasionally, I would glance at the men, women, and children coming and going in the city, and a trace of ...... would flash in my eyes Commiseration.
The second incident happened in the City Lord's Mansion.
The day after Hongjing came to Suzhou City, a monk wearing a black robe came to the city.
Generally speaking, according to the rules of the city, only on funeral occasions, monks will wear black robes to overkill the souls of the deceased.
However, very few families in Suzhou will invite a monk to override the dead at the funeral, and in their opinion, the monk will only take the bowl and walk away the pig's trotters, donkey hooves, and dog hooves after reciting a scripture they don't understand.
Therefore, the appearance of this black-clothed monk has attracted the attention of a large number of people, and I don't know which family suddenly wanted to invite a monk to recite the scriptures.
The monk clasped his hands all the way, lowered his eyes, and recited words in his mouth, walked straight to the gate of the city lord's mansion, sat cross-legged, and began to chant Buddhist scriptures.
For some reason, the monk's chanting is very light, but the monk's Buddhist scriptures can be heard throughout the city of Suzhou.
"Obediently, this old monk still wants to live, dare to recite Buddhist scriptures in front of the devil's door." The crowd was shocked.
As expected, soon, a blood-red sword light in the city lord's mansion slashed at an extremely fast speed, and the monk sat still, allowing the sword light to split himself in half, and the chanting stopped.
Then a team of soldiers ran out of the city lord's mansion, wrapped the monk's body in a straw mat, and walked outside the city.
After the Demon Dao entered the Central Plains, the new city lord sent to govern Suzhou City was named Crack Shadow, one of the ten princes of the Demon Dao, who loved to kill, although he was not the strongest among the ten princes in the battle between good and evil, but he was the most murderous and cruel.
On the first day of Rift Shadow's arrival in Suzhou City, although the old city lord had given up resistance and was willing to take the initiative to relinquish control of Suzhou City, Rift Shadow still stabbed the old city lord through the chest in front of everyone in the city, and hung his body on the tower until it was dried.
Almost everyone in the city wanted to kill Rift, but reason still told them that Rift was a demon with advanced cultivation that they could not deal with.
Although there were also cultivators from the mountains who came down to challenge the rift in the middle, although the appearance of the immortals did look different from mortals, they did not survive, and the corpses of the cultivators were also hung on the castle tower, as if to warn everyone not to have dangerous thoughts.
But fortunately, after Rift Shadow came to Suzhou City, he only cared about cultivation and had no time to manage the affairs of Suzhou City, as long as the residents of the city did not have the intention of rebelling, Rift Shadow let him go freely.
For those who want to rebel in private, those with high cultivation will be hung at the head of the city as a warning, and those with low cultivation will be killed and thrown to the back mountain.
So it is not surprising that the monk was killed. Dare to chant in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion? Do you think that fissure is your Buddha?
I thought that this matter would be over, but the next day, two monks in black robes came to the city, with the same appearance, body shape, and voice as the monk who was killed yesterday.
Although everyone was a little surprised in their hearts, they didn't think much about it, maybe they were three brothers?
The two monks still walked straight to the city lord's mansion, sat cross-legged, and began to chant Buddhist scriptures, which echoed in the sky above Suzhou City, and then the sword flashed, and the two monks were split in half like the same two monks, and were wrapped up by soldiers and thrown to the back mountain.
It wasn't until the third day, when three identical monks appeared in the city, that people began to realize that this was not an ordinary monk, and that the two monks from yesterday and the three monks today were actually all one person.
This time, the city lord Crack Shadow appeared in person, stared at the three monks for a while, and after saying something, seeing that the monk ignored him, he once again took out the knife to kill the monk at the waist, and also cut off the monk's soul, ensuring that the three monks were completely dead, and they didn't even have a chance to be reincarnated before leaving.
On the fourth day, the four monks still appeared in the city, and the residents of the city were not surprised or otherwise surprised to see these four monks.
It's clear that people are also immortals, damn it, what kind of world is this, immortals are everywhere, and they don't let us live?
The city lord Rift is the most helpless person in the city.
In the battle between good and evil, he has killed countless enemies, and the more people he kills, the more excited he becomes, especially cutting off his opponent's head with his own hands and pinching and blasting his opponent's soul, which can make Rift Shadow have great pleasure.
But for the first time, this black-clothed monk made Split Shadow feel powerless, no matter what Split Shadow asked him, he didn't answer, and the monk's eyes seemed to have only one thing in his heart, reciting Buddhist scriptures, even if Split Shadow used a knife to cut off the flesh on the monk's body, the monk didn't react as if he didn't feel pain.
Rift gave up, turned around and went home, read it and let him read it, it's a big deal that the ears are blocked, and you can't kill it, so let's consume it. What's more, Crack Shadow also knows the purpose of the monk's chanting here, and sooner or later he will leave.
This time, the people of Suzhou are unhappy again, they originally looked lively and good, but the city lord suddenly gave up? Isn't it some murderous devil? Shouldn't you delve into how to kill this monk? Give up when you say give up?
This monk too, mother, you have a conflict with the city lord, you two fight, or you chant at the door of his room, you are engaged in the whole city to listen to you chanting, don't think about whether we like to listen to it or not?
During the day, it is good that people come and go, and the sound of chanting is not so harsh, but once the city is quiet at night, the monk's voice clearly reaches everyone's ears, and this is still sleeping? Sleep a fart! Doesn't it mean that the family is compassionate? Actually, you're also from the Demon Dao, right? Chanting to kill? It's not as good as the joy of Rift.
So in the following days, the woman in red in the north of the city and the monk in black in the south of the city seemed to want to settle in Suzhou City, or the two seemed to want to die of old age in Suzhou City, and they didn't even move from where they stayed. Someone stared at it for several days and found that these two people didn't even need to eat and convenience.
"You know a hammer, cultivators can go without eating or drinking for hundreds or even thousands of years, it's only been a few days, you look at that monk, there is nothing you can do to make the crack, at first glance, it is a master of cultivation, presumably when we are all old and dead, people will not even let a fart go." One day, an old man in the city stroked his beard and spread knowledge to the young man.
"If you don't fart, won't you suffocate?" Some young people questioned.
The old man glared: "You mortal knows a fart, the breath in the body of other cultivators is circulated inside and outside, and the fart can be discharged between breaths, you think you have to take off your pants to fart like your kid." ”
The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter. The young man blushed: "Grandpa, didn't you say that you wouldn't say it outside?" ”
The old man was stunned: "Impulsive, impulsive, impulsive......"
It is a rare and quiet afternoon, the strange thing is that it is winter now, but today the temperature is exceptionally high, only wearing a thin shirt does not feel cold, the snow on the street overnight is also clean, the sun is high in the sky, the sun is warm, and the summer is overnight.
This is a scene that should not have happened, but everyone has seen too many strange things during this time, so it is not strange.
So most people put down their work in the afternoon, gathered together in twos and threes, knocked melon seeds and chatted, enjoying the warm days that they hadn't seen for many months. Even the monk's chanting voice didn't sound so annoying.
"What is that ...... in the sky" I don't know who raised his head first, and when he saw the scene in the sky, his voice trembled.
Realizing that the sunlight had suddenly disappeared, they all looked up at the sky and saw perhaps the most spectacular and unforgettable sight they had ever seen in their lives.
