A knife in love

Chapter 725

After hearing Yang Yansi's words, everyone thought to themselves: "What kind of person is Li Longji? Even Wu Sansi, Shangguan Wan'er and other cunning people were defeated by him, and they can really be called the best among the emperors of the Tang Dynasty. The most remarkable emperor. Although Monk Niankong was born in the sect of Buddhism, he used sorcery, which is not acceptable to emperors. When fighting for the world, it may be possible to use these heretical methods, but if the matter spreads, it will definitely spread. It is extremely unfavorable for Li Longji to cause criticism. What's more, monk Niankong has such abilities, since he can help Li Longji seize the throne, how can he not guard against this monk turning to others? Yang Yansi is just a child's opinion, so ridiculous."

Gao Lishi sighed, but ignored him, and continued: "When the three of us heard what Monk Niankong said, all of our faces changed drastically. Li Shoude is the most impatient, and seeing Monk Niankong already Knowing the purpose of our trip, he immediately drew out his sword and stabbed straight at Monk Niankong.

"I have suffered a lot under Monk Niankong's hands. I know that in terms of martial arts, I can't do more than ten moves under him, and I will be completely defeated. Li Shoude's martial arts are not as good as mine, but he doesn't know the depth of Monk Niankong's martial arts. Then I took out the sword rashly. Listening to what Monk Niankong said, I knew that I had lost the opportunity. Not only would I not be able to kill this person, I was afraid that the three of us would not be able to leave the Skeleton King Temple alive. Therefore, when Li Shoudefu drew out the sword, I turned around and walked away. Flee outside the hall.

"It was evening at that time. After I rushed out of the temple gate, I let out a long roar, calling for dozens of martial arts masters guarding outside the temple to come and help me. I know that although these martial arts masters who came with me are not weak in martial arts, However, it is more difficult to capture and kill Monk Niankong. I only hope that they can entangle Monk Niankong for a while, so that I can escape far away, and then I will find a way to gather experts to get rid of this terrible Monk. Otherwise, if we stay in the temple, Monk Niankong will do it. Even if the skeletons in the ground don’t crawl out, we will die without a place to bury just relying on the Skeleton King in the main hall.

"Those martial arts masters outside the temple rushed into the yard when they heard my roar. I ordered everyone to rush into the side hall to help Mao and Li kill Monk Niankong. These people don't know what Monk Niankong means. , I wielded my weapon, and went straight to the side hall to kill. I dare not stay, I was about to escape from the temple, when I heard someone shouting from behind me saying, I killed this monk, the first effort must be mine.

"I was shocked when I heard this man's words, and turned around quickly, only to see that Li Shoude had already walked out of the side hall, holding a long sword in his right hand, with blood dripping from the tip of the sword. He held a human head high in his left hand , it is the head of monk Niankong.

"I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought to myself that I tried several moves with Li Shoude in the prince's mansion. This man's martial arts are far worse than mine. How could he kill Monk Niankong? Just when I was puzzled , but Wang Maozhong also came out. He held the long sword upside down with his right hand, and grabbed the right leg of Monk Niankong with his left hand, dragging Monk Niankong's headless body out of the hall. In the process, fresh blood spewed out all over the place, and the situation was extremely terrifying.

"Wang Maozhong saw Li Shoude holding the head of Monk Niankong, standing triumphantly on the stone steps, showing off his power in front of a group of martial arts masters gathered, he immediately snorted, and said in his mouth, brother Shoude, don't forget, if If it wasn't for me to strike first and force him to deal with it with all his strength, how could you kill this monk?!

"Before we rushed to Taniguchi Village, the prince once told the three of us that whoever can kill Monk Niankong will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and be promoted to the head of the palace. It's good to say that the head of the palace is rich, and the prince will be the emperor in the future. , the principal may become the prime minister. I am an eunuch, so naturally I dare not think about this position, but Wang and Li are sure to win it.

"It's just that I'm surprised that with the martial arts of Mao and Li, even if they join forces, they are definitely not the opponent of Monk Niankong. If there is a sudden attack, there may be hope of success. It's just that Monk Niankong has been clearly defeated Seeing through the purpose of this trip, he must have taken precautions, how could these two people kill Monk Niankong?

"When I was puzzled, Wang Maozhong saw me standing at the gate of the temple, and said loudly, Lao Gao, thanks to you calling the brothers to rush into the temple to help, this monk died in a panic between me and Shoude. Brother's hands.

"I heard him put a high hat on me, and my heart was clear. Monk Niankong's head was chopped off by Li Shoude with a long sword. When he returned to Chang'an to return to the prince in the future, the credit should be credited to Li Shoude. It's just what happened to Wang Maozhong Willing to accept? He insisted on pulling me in because he wanted to take away the credit of Li Shoude. In this way, I benefited, and naturally I have to prove that he and Li Shoude jointly killed Monk Niankong. The credit goes to the two of them However, Li Shoude was unable to sit in the seat of the head of the palace, so Wang Maozhong naturally had a chance to stand up.

"At the right time and the right place, I was quite embarrassed to hear what Wang Maozhong said. As long as I am not blind, everyone can see that I want to escape wholeheartedly. Why did I rush to the yard to call for help? I coughed twice. Li Shoude sneered and said in his mouth, Lao Gao is indeed tall, and before the monk could make a move, he ran into the yard to ask for help.

"I heard that Li Shoude's words contained guns and sticks. Just when I didn't know how to deal with it, I suddenly heard a loud 'click', and I saw tiles flying around on the roof of the main hall, filled with smoke and dust, and even a big hole was broken.

"The incident happened suddenly. Everyone in the palace was startled. They all looked towards the roof. They saw a huge figure piercing through the roof and standing firmly on the roof. This man was wearing a black helmet. The face is hideous, it turned out to be a skull.

"On the day when the Skeleton King Temple was repaired, I followed the prince to watch the ceremony in the temple. Naturally, I knew that this monster was the Skeleton King enshrined in the main hall. Seeing the Skeleton King appearing at this moment, I was scared out of my wits. I just wanted to turn around and run away. His legs didn't work, and he stood in a daze at the gate of the temple, unable to move.

"The skeleton king stood on the ridge of the roof, holding the command flag in his left hand, and the sword in his right hand. His two dark eye holes scanned the people in the yard. Everyone was terrified, and they stayed there one by one. They didn't dare to make a sound. Wang Maozhong and Li Shoude had long forgotten about the matter of fighting for merit, and looked up at the skeleton king on the roof, their faces immediately turned extremely pale.

"At this moment, there was a soft 'chi' sound, and a silver thread flew down from the roof of the side hall, and was nailed to the head of the person held in Li Shoude's hand. Between lightning and flint, the silver thread was withdrawn , Tore the head of Monk Niankong from Li Shoude's hand, and flew straight to the roof of the side hall.

"Li Shoude was shocked. This human head was his hope of getting promoted through meritorious service. How could he lose it like this? In his desperation, he had long forgotten that there was still a Skeleton King standing on the roof of the main hall. With a single foot, he chased after the human head. But just as he jumped up to the eaves, he saw a cold light flickering on the side hall, and someone suddenly fired a hidden weapon and hit Li Shoude directly.

"The incident happened suddenly. Li Shoude was in mid-air. Naturally, there was no way to avoid it. He could only close his eyes and wait for death. At this moment, he heard a 'hoo', and a figure jumped in front of Li Shoude, barely blocking it. There were more than ten cold lights emitted from the roof of the side hall. Only the sound of "噗噗" was heard continuously, and all the dozen or so hidden weapons hit the figure.

"I stood in front of the temple gate and saw the situation in the temple clearly. A masked man in black appeared on the side hall, knelt on one knee on the roof tiles, and first shot He took the head in Li Shoude's hand and took advantage of the situation to pull the head away. When Li Shoude jumped up, he took the opportunity to launch a hidden weapon to kill Li Shoude with the hidden weapon when he could not dodge. At that time, Wang Maozhong had already noticed that Miao, with a strong flick of his left hand, he threw the headless body of Monk Niankong straight into the air, right in front of Li Shoude, saving his life.

"Seeing that the masked man in black didn't kill Li Shoude, he didn't want to fight. He fell back and disappeared on the roof of the side hall.

"Li Shoude fell to the ground, and when he was still in shock, the Skeleton King standing on the roof of the main hall suddenly raised his head to the sky, as if he was opening his mouth and screaming. It's just that although his mouth was wide open, he didn't make any sound. It looked very strange. At this time, my legs were able to move. Seeing that the situation was not good, I turned around and ran away. Wang, Li and others also seemed to have just woken up from a dream. If they dared to stay, they followed me to the outside of the temple.

"I just rushed out of the temple gate, and I felt a blur in front of my eyes, as if there were countless figures flying in front of my eyes. This sudden change, I was so scared that I stopped in a hurry, drew out the long sword with my right hand, and was about to chop randomly , to prevent the enemy from attacking, suddenly someone shouted: "Lord Gao, don't do anything, I'm Han Li!"

"When I heard Han Li's voice, it was as if I had been slapped in the face. Those figures disappeared in an instant. I saw Han Li standing five or six steps away from me with a wooden stick in his left hand and a bronze mirror in his right hand. Five or six of his apprentices stood in a row behind him, holding bronze mirrors, iron forks, rattles, etc., looking very nervous.

"I don't know what happened. I was about to ask, but I heard a sound of chaotic footsteps behind me. It was Wang, Li and a group of martial arts masters invited by the palace who escaped from the temple. I saw The people behind Han Li held up the bronze mirrors and shook the bells in their hands rapidly. The jingling bells rang together. At first, the ringing was chaotic and disorderly, but after a while, the sound became clear and clear. Music, very pleasant to hear.

"At this time, Wang, Li and others also stopped, and some people said, hey, what happened to us? I recalled the terrible scene I saw in the temple just now, and I still had lingering fears. I didn't know what happened. , but Wang Maozhong said in a trembling voice, Mr. Han came just in time, there are ghosts in this temple!

"Han Li sneered after hearing Wang Maozhong's words, and said in his mouth, what the hell is there in broad daylight? It is clear that someone set up an enchantment in this temple and trapped everyone in it. But I broke it with the bronze mirror and the sound of the bell. His enchantment, he missed it with one hit, and it has already escaped, so you don't have to worry about it."
