Chapter 125: The Hood

The Tiger Monk was bitten to death by a tiger he raised himself, swallowing half of his body, causing an uproar in Biyu City, and this happened to happen on the last day when six "evil" teenagers studied the exorcism scriptures with the mage, which is even more evocative.

According to Shami, who is in charge of delivering food every day, Shangguan Ru, a lady from Jinpeng Castle, likes to tease the tiger and often feeds it here and there, and once saw the little girl stuffing insects into the tiger's mouth to "force" it to break its vows.

Shangguan Ru felt that he had been wronged, and his cheeks were so angry that he almost cried in public, and he had a very bad impression of the monk of the Four Noble Truths.

She lamented the loss of the mage, the monk who was different, never preached, never put any pressure on her, and did not say anything when she teased the tiger.

She misses the vegetarian tiger even more, and finally got acquainted with this big cat, but it caused a big disaster, and she is the only one who believes in the tiger's innocence.

Mrs. Meng thought that her daughter was frightened, and even complained in private that the monk of the Four Noble Truths was too careless, and even let the tenth prince get along with a wild beast for seven days, so she immediately returned to the castle with her daughter, and made up her mind not to let her daughter leave her for a while.

After the cannibalism, the tiger fled and hid in the mountains, and many people searched the mountains to avenge the mage, but all returned in vain.

The high monks of the Four Noble Truths did not put the blame on anyone, they believed that the Tiger Monk had this calamity in his fate, and that he had planted the cause in the past life and achieved the result in this life, and he could not complain about others.

Only Gu Shenwei knew that the death of the Tiger Monk Master was caused by the Lotus Girl.

The "Sutra of the Dead" taught by the Tiger Monk Master did have an effect, and even the wild horses who could not speak felt at peace when reciting this Sutra, although their internal strength did not increase as a result, and their ability to resist the invasion of inner demons seemed to have increased a lot.

It's just that before the fainting happens, no one knows if it can crack the magic of Xiaoyue Hall.

Gu Shenwei had planned to ask Master Tiger Monk for the correct pronunciation of all the scriptures in person, but he shared a room with two other teenagers, and it was easy to arouse suspicion when he went out late at night.

The Dutch girl lived alone in a thatched hut, so this task could only be entrusted to her.

It wasn't until after descending the mountain and returning to Biyu City that the lotus girl had the opportunity to tell Huan Nu the whole story.

The lotus girl silently wrote the text of the last few pages of the "Book of the Dead", and handed it to the tiger monk late at night on the second day of going up the mountain.

The Tiger Monk was astonished to see that he had less than a quarter of the fragments of the scriptures in his hand, and he had already memorized them backwards, and at a glance he knew that the manuscript he had given him was a remnant of the scriptures that he had never seen before.

The lotus girl made a deal with the tiger monk, and the monk taught her the correct pronunciation, and she handed over the entire "Book of the Dead" word for word, provided that the monk kept it secret, and as for the content of the swordsmanship, she did not mention it.

The Tiger Monk had been studying the words on the tablets for many years, and had spent several days perfecting the correct pronunciation of the entire scripture and teaching it to the Lotus Maiden, but finally broke his promise on secrecy.

After reading the whole "Sutra of the Dead", in addition to correcting the pronunciation, he also had a lot of experience in the true meaning, but he couldn't understand it, and after thinking about it, he felt that he still needed the help of others, so he decided to hand over the scriptures written by the lotus girl to several elders in the Four Noble Truths, but informed the lotus girl in advance.

"I can only kill him. The Dutch girl later explained to Huan Nu, "The Four Noble Truths are closely related to the Stone Castle, and if the scriptures are spread, we will definitely be exposed." ”

The lotus girl caught a rabbit in the mountains and secretly fed it to the tiger, and found that it did not refuse flesh and blood.

On the last night, the Lotus girl stabbed the monk to death, took all the transcripts, attracted a tiger, swallowed half of the monk, and covered up the wounds.

The tiger ran away on its own, Shangguan Ru became the object of suspicion by everyone, and the plan of the lotus girl was almost seamless.

Gu Shenwei believed that the Dutch girl's approach was the only option, and this was the killer's means to solve the problem.

Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Yu were brought back to Shibao, but the other four brown belt killers stayed in Biyu South City, waiting for them to have another fate.

They were assigned to different official killers as assistants to find out the news and eliminate hidden dangers for the stone castle, ostensibly to highlight the "non-killer" status of the four, but in fact they had nothing to do all day.

They were left in Southtown as bait.

Xiaoyuetang almost reappeared in the form of a formal declaration of war, but since the mysterious woman planted the "evil qi" for the teenagers, it disappeared, and the killers of Jinpeng Fort and the Iron Mountain bandit army killed some disciples of the Great Wilderness Sect in the desert, but they didn't even see the shadow of the disciples of Xiaoyuetang.

The White Clothes Courtyard was the brains of Jinpeng Castle, and after discussing with the strategists, they agreed that the disciples of Xiaoyue Hall had infiltrated Biyu City, so they made a plan to use the less important brown belt disciples to lure them out of the cave.

The "evil qi" in the bodies of Huan Nu and the other four has not been cleared yet, and it is the best bait.

Naturally, no one told the teenagers about these things, but as soon as they heard that they were going to stay in Nancheng, Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl guessed the purpose behind it, and the two only had time to talk a few words, and they were immediately taken away by the killers, and they wanted to live in different places to expand the scope of luring the enemy.

The killer that Gu Shenwei followed was Master Tie Hanfeng, Tie Hanfeng confirmed the apprentice's guess, and he was not worried, "This is an opportunity for meritorious service, we are Jinpeng Fort killers, are we still afraid of a few girls? ”

Tie Hanfeng happened to be interested in training his apprentice as a business partner, so he took this opportunity to familiarize him with the environment and rules of Nancheng, first using a brothel in Liuren Lane as a fixed residence, and going in and out of different taverns, casinos, and brothels from morning to night every day, so that Huan Nu could get acquainted with all kinds of characters.

These people may not be martial arts masters, but they have a lot of influence on Biyu, building an intricate network of relationships, tough and secretive, without acquaintances, outsiders will never be able to get involved.

If you want to "kill people safely" and earn a lot of money, you must first determine your place in this network.

Most of them are brokers and protectors of a certain trade, people who know how to call them "covers", these trades are full of tricks, some of them are unexpected by Gu Shenwei, for example, the cover of the rice noodle shop is a thin old man, it is said that he is one of the most powerful people in Nancheng, he himself does not have any business in hand, but if anyone wants to sell rice and noodles in Nancheng smoothly, they must go to see him before the opening, and pay the money every month after that, so that the business can be guaranteed to be prosperous and no one owes credit.

Any necessities of life entered Biyu City and were sold for more than three or four times the price of other places, so it attracted a large number of buyers and sellers, and the power of the hoods rose accordingly.

Gu Shenwei always thought that the sword was the master of Nancheng, and this naΓ―ve idea was ridiculed by the master, "Silly boy, you are like those swordsmen who crawled to Nancheng through muddy water, thinking that if you play the knife well, you can drink good wine and hug women, but in fact, they are just a group of thugs, and they are still mixed well, and the others are just rabbits in the grass, let us kill and play." ”

Tie Hanfeng took Gu Shenwei to meet almost half of Nancheng's cover, just to tell him a truth, "Biyu City is no different from any other place, everything is dominated by gold and silver, ah, TMD, the most perfect way to die in my eyes is to be drowned in gold, or lie on the softest bed in the world and die next to a woman, in short, don't be killed by a sword." ”

Tie Hanfeng's martial arts are very high, and after Gu Shenwei learned the swordsmanship of the "Book of the Dead", he was not sure to defeat him, but this cripple is also the killer who takes the sword technique the most seriously, compared with the apprentices of Mustang and Liuhua, Tie Hanfeng is a negative example.

However, this experience was very useful to Gu Shenwei, he learned more about Biyu City, and found that Jinpeng Fort and the Meng family did not control everything in the city, and with the rise of status and the expansion of ambitions, these two major forces rose to the top, getting farther and farther away from the muddy streets of Nancheng, and many small forces took advantage of the situation, they were inextricably linked with Shibao, but they also maintained their independence.

Tie Hanfeng himself is half a hood, he provides services to several big hoods, hires bodyguards for them, clears checkpoints, helps them collect accounts, teaches scoundrels, and sometimes kills.

"Be very careful when walking in the south city, maybe you will offend someone, a sick ghost who has difficulty breathing, it may be a big cover, glaring at him, and someone will cut you with a knife the next day. The most ridiculous thing is that there are always fools who believe in those bullshit legends, thinking that they can kill people casually here, and they don't know who they really offended until they die. ”

Gu Shenwei's face was a little red, he was such a "fool" in the past, and the trouble he caused has not been completely erased until now.

There are several half-hoods like Tie Hanfeng, each with its own territory, you can go in and hang out, if you want to do business, you have to exchange people's lives, Tie Hanfeng's core territory is the South Wall Tavern, the tavern shopkeeper itself is a cover, and he is also one of Tie Hanfeng's several big customers.

Tie Hanfeng has been carefully expanding his territory, and just a few months ago, he successfully inserted a foot in Liuren Alley and bought a small building on the street, and invited a prostitute named Xu Yanwei.

Gu Shenwei always remembered the Xu family siblings he saved twice last year, but he didn't expect them to fall into the "clutches" of the lame man, and it was in the name of Huan Nu.

"The owner of this building is called Yang Huan. Tie Hanfeng stood at the door and had to introduce himself to his apprentice.

Gu Shenwei never imagined that he would own a brothel for no reason, he really didn't know what to say, his dream was to be a killer, it seemed that if he followed the master and then mixed up, this dream would become a joke sooner or later.

He also vaguely guessed Tie Hanfeng's intentions, the cripple was "buying" the apprentice, and let him take over the business after he was completely retired, of course, as a thank you and in return, the apprentice also had to regularly honor the master.

Gu Shenwei thought to himself that he was going to disappoint his master.

On the eighth day of acting as a bait, Gu Shenwei did not wait for the masters of Xiaoyue Hall and the Great Wilderness Gate, but because he followed his master to kill people, he discovered the enemy's whereabouts.
