Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage
Chapter 234 Chapter 233, The cold-blooded man Tu Shen catches the head!
Chapter 234 Chapter 233, The cold-blooded man Tu Shen catches the head!
Wuyang Mansion is not far from the capital, only more than 300 miles away from the official road.
Shen Lang didn't even need to ride a horse. After leaving the capital, he blessed himself with a "Spiritual Flying Technique", and took big strides on the spacious and flat official road to perform lightness kung fu. Arrived at Wuyang Fucheng.
The "Wind Chaser Sect" from the two victims, Cheng Xin and Guan Yue, is the largest sect in Wuyang Mansion, and the sect is based on "Xiaoyue Mountain" outside the city.
Shen Lang casually found a fly restaurant in Fucheng to have lunch, asked someone to find out where Xiaoyue Mountain was, and left Fucheng from the west gate, heading towards Xiaoyue Mountain.
Xiaoyue Mountain is steep, with strange peaks, and evergreen trees such as cedar and cypress. Even though it is only a few days after the new year, it is still a cold and windy season. Xiaoyue Mountain is still lush and beautiful, and Shen Lang Therefore, I slowed down a little and browsed the scenery and mountains all the way. Before I knew it, I came to a deep gorge called "Yianxian Gorge".
The canyon named "Yianxianxia" has thirty if not half a hundred in the vast eastern land.
But the first-line gorge of Xiaoyue Mountain is a little different.
The mountain gate of the "Chasing Wind School" is on the Pingding Peak opposite the Yixian Gorge.
The Pingding Peak is surrounded by cliffs at least [-] feet high, there is no other way to climb to the top, only this one-line gorge about [-] to [-] feet wide can lead to the gate of Chasing Wind School.
And connecting the two ends of the canyon, there are only three iron chains that are as thick as a child's arm, one foot apart from each other.
The "Zhuifeng Sect" is famous for its lightness kung fu and legwork. All the disciples under the sect are very good at lightness kung fu and their legwork is outstanding. These three iron chains are the "road" for the successful disciples of the "Zhuifeng Sect" to go in and out of the mountain gate every day. .
As for the idlers, it is of course impossible to cross the three iron chains to the opposite side of the Yiyi Gorge.
Even for ordinary warriors, if they want to pay a visit to the Wind Chaser Sect, they need to have some real skills.
Shen Lang walked to the edge of the canyon, looked down, and saw clouds and mist shrouded under the cliff, and the river below was only a thin stream, estimated to be one or two hundred feet deep.
People with fear of heights stand on the edge of the cliff and look down, and they will be so frightened that they will sweat profusely and their hands will be weak, let alone step on the iron chain and walk to the opposite side.
Looking across the deep gorge, you will see an octagonal gazebo at the end of the iron chain on the opposite side of the cliff.
Two young disciples of the Wind Chasing Sect were standing in the pavilion and pointing.
Shen Lang urged his internal energy, concentrated his energy in both ears, and immediately heard the discussion of the two disciples of the Wind Chaser Sect.
"Senior brother, look at that kid on the opposite side, standing on the edge of the cliff and poking his head, he seems to want to come over."
"Well, maybe it's a young man who yearns for martial arts masters and wants to come to our Chasing Wind School to learn from a teacher."
"It's not yet the time to recruit disciples once every three years. If you want to learn from a teacher, you have to walk the iron chain yourself! Senior brother, do you think that kid can do it?"
"This iron chain looks dangerous. In fact, as long as you are brave enough, even if you don't know martial arts, you can climb over with hands and feet. However, ordinary people who don't know martial arts will be so frightened that their hands and feet are limp when they look into the deep gorge. How dare you climb the iron chain? Speaking of which, the last ten years of our Wind Chaser Sect, the current senior brother, climbed the iron chain to learn from a teacher. How can that kid..."
As soon as I said this, I saw the young boy on the opposite side stepping on the iron rope in the middle with his hands behind his back, walking away on the iron rope at a leisurely pace like a picnic outing come over.
There was a gust of wind blowing through the gorge, and even the iron chain was slightly shaken, but the boy still walked forward leisurely without shaking his body or shaking his feet.
The two Chasing Wind sect disciples immediately shut up and looked at each other, seeing embarrassment in each other's eyes.
"Senior brother, that little...young hero seems to be a master!"
"Well, the pace is so calm, and the strong wind through the gorge does not move at all. The lightness kung fu is amazing, the kung fu is strong, and he is a master."
"Looking at the face, I don't know what it means."
"Come here alone, without weapons, there should be no hostility."
The two whispered a few words, straightened their clothes, and walked out of the pavilion.
Although the boy on the iron chain looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, in the martial arts, the strong are respected, and those who have strength should be respected.
Furthermore, there are quite a few old monsters in Jianghu, who look young, but God knows if they have been cultivated so high that they will stay young forever, or even revert to their youth.
As the concierges of the largest sect in Wuyang Mansion, these two disciples of the Chasing Wind Sect knew very well, they would never judge a person by their appearance, and put on a domineering posture to provoke enemies for the sect.
When Shen Lang walked through the iron chain and stepped onto the edge of the cliff, the two disciples of the Windchasing School immediately cupped their hands and bowed:
"He Wei [Feng Shan], a disciple of the Chasing Wind Sect, welcomes the distinguished guest. I don't know where the guest came from? What's your business?"
"I am Shen Lang, who is the God's arresting hall."
Shen Lang didn't wear a uniform, just plain clothes, but he still carried his waist badge with him, so he showed the God Catcher's waist badge for the two wind chasers to take a closer look:
"There is a case related to the Wind Chasers, and we need your assistance in the investigation."
"Huh? Quick catcher from God's catching hall?"
The two disciples of the Chasing Wind Sect were shocked, their faces were a little uncomfortable, and there was even a hint of panic in their eyes.
There is no way, although there are not many people in the hall of gods, but the reputation is really not small.
Especially the Wuyang Mansion Chasing Wind Sect, a martial arts sect not too far from the capital, often heard about the majestic deeds of Shenchuitang.
In other words, in the last year alone, there have been more than a hundred well-known gangsters, gangsters, evil spirits and demons who were arrested and beheaded by the Shenhuntang, and whose strength was at least above the fifth rank.
As for the unnamed masters, there are even no cases that have been circulated, let alone how many cases there are-such as the case of the South China Sea Sword Sect, the case of the Black Lotus Devil's Nest, and the case of the Dawei King Kong Temple have not been circulated.
If it were known that Mu Qingxue of the God Catch Hall killed a fake third-rank martial artist, two real third-rank warriors, and three fourth-rank Dharma cultivators last year, the world would be shocked.
And as far as the Chasing Wind faction knows, apart from those gangsters, gangsters, and demons and monsters, last year, Shencatching Hall also uprooted two martial arts sects that had an affair with demons, and wiped out a family that spread cults. The martial arts family.
They also copied the homes of three high-ranking court officials, and captured a family of hereditary nobles who had been passed down from the founding of the country to the present.
In this series of cases, it is said that several warriors who had reached the fourth rank were arrested and beheaded, and several Taoist monks who were not low in rank were also arrested.
In short, for a local sect like the Wind Chasing Sect, the Shencatching Hall is a huge monster that can never be provoked-the Wind Chasing Sect, the largest sect in Wuyang Mansion, is in the final analysis only a local sect, with only four masters. Mid-term repair of the product.
However, Shenchuangtang is an organization that can handle cases in the entire Eastern Land, including the territory of the Great Chu Domain.
Every head-hunter in the God-Catching Hall is the elite of the elite, the master of the master.
It is said that any headhunter has the strength to single out four or five warriors of the same realm - this rumor must be exaggerated.
However, the arsenal of Shenchuitang is rich in information, and the headhunters all have profound martial arts experience, Yan Tianying gives pointers from time to time, and there are various equipment and amulets sponsored by Wan Famen, and the combat effectiveness of the headhunters of Shenchuangtang , It is indeed far superior to the scattered people of the Jianghu, and most of the sects that are not arrogant enough at all.
It is not that exaggerated for the ordinary headhunters in the Shenhuntang to pick four or five at the same level, but it is still no problem to pick two or three.
As for the local sects like the Wind Chaser Sect, Shenhuntang can send out any elite at will, for example, Zhu, who is a fourth-rank master, can destroy the Wind Chaser Sect by ignoring Zhu Butou.
Shencatching Hall is so famous, it is natural for the martial arts sects to be in awe of it.
Seeing that Shen Lang is actually an arrester from the God Detective Hall, and is still here to investigate the case from the Wind Chaser Sect, He Wei and Feng Shan, the two disciples of the guards, suddenly became panicked.
After being at a loss for a while, the senior brother He Wei just cupped his hands and said in a trembling voice:
"Dare to ask this..."
Speaking of this, He Wei's voice broke suddenly, and he didn't know how to address Shen Lang.
Shen Lang has actually signed up.
However, He Wei and Feng Shan, when they heard the five words "Shen Catch Tang Catch Fast", their minds were in a mess. They only knew that Shen Lang came to find the Wind Chaser to investigate the case, but they forgot his name up.
Shen Lang had no choice but to repeat it again:
"My surname is Shen, and my first name is Lang. You can just call me Shen Butou."
He Wei hurriedly said:
"So it was Shen Lang who caught the head in person! I'm..."
Having said this, He Wei suddenly trembled all over, his face turned pale, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, his legs began to tremble, he looked at Shen Lang in horror, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't utter a word.
Not only He Wei, but also Feng Wei, who looked at Shen Lang as if seeing a ghost.
As the disciples of the Chasing Wind Sect who guard the gate and welcome guests, He Wei and Feng Shan are not only clever and witty, but also memorize the "Heroes Book" and know the names of many important people, so as not to be ignorant and provoke powerful people who should not be provoked.
And the name "Shen Catching Hall Shen Lang" is exactly a "big man" they have only recently memorized.
According to the legend, Shen Lang is from Yingzhou. He was born as a hunter in the mountains.
It is said that although this gentleman is young, he is ruthless and murderous. Not long after his debut, he already has more than a hundred heads in his hands.
When he left Yingzhou alone and went north to the capital, he single-handedly killed hundreds of killers and enemies who were chasing him. Among them were several warriors who had reached the fifth rank, and there was also a conjurer from the Izumo Kingdom.
When passing through the Luling Mansion, he single-handedly cracked the "Spider Mother Walker" case, and in this case, beheaded six spider mother walkers and a group of demon minions.
And among the six spider walkers, there are two fifth-rank warriors and four fourth-rank warriors, and they are all beauties of all sizes.
In the capital, he would squat at his house and fight back against the eighteen famous black market killers who tried to ambush and assassinate him. As a result, there was a shortage of killers in the capital, which has not been alleviated until now.
This is not all of Shen Lang's achievements in "Shen Catch Hall".
There is reason to suspect that he has more hidden records and beat stronger opponents.
The above information is all from the black market, collected by the foreign affairs elders of the Chasing Wind Sect.
Now Shen Lang's reward in the black market has increased to 20 silver dollars - before the battle of the Eighteen Killers, it was only 18.Afterwards, someone added [-] yuan to make up the whole thing.
And in the black market, Shen Lang even got a murderous title - Cold-blooded Rentu.It is said that he is cruel and bloodless, cruel and ruthless, and loves to destroy flowers with hot hands.
Even if she is a beautiful and beautiful woman, if she falls into his hands, she will be mercilessly beheaded.
Beheading with a sword or headshot with a gun is considered a good death.
It is normal operation to be torn apart, even beaten to the point where there is not a single hair left.
In short, Shen Lang's reputation in the black market has surpassed many veteran head catchers of the God Catch Hall, and his fierce reputation is directly chasing the three god catchers of the God Catch Hall: "Ruthless Iron Judge" Mu Qingxue, "Spirit Chaser" Yan Kai, "Mie Men Tu Coffin" Wu Lie.
He Wei and Feng Wei, the two little disciples of the door guards, although they memorized the "Heroes Book" by heart, never imagined that one day, they would really meet the big men on the "Heroes Book" to visit the mountain.
Especially the cold-blooded murder god "Shen Catching Hall Shen Lang" who came here.
Especially since he is still here to handle the case...
Although our Chasing Wind Sect bears the name of the No. [-] sect in Wuyang Mansion, but looking at Dongtu, there are not one hundred martial arts sects like ours, but there are also eighty. Tu" came to handle the case?
Isn't this the rhythm of killing the door?
Now He Wei and Feng Wei were really scared out of their wits.
Shen Langren was in the capital, and all day long he came into contact with the masters and colleagues of Shenzhutang, and even big figures like Yan Tianying.The people who come and go are Mu Qingxue, Senior Sister, and other powerful people who have always been stronger than him.
Even the opponents are formidable enemies such as Lian Yunxiao, the man in purple, the barbarian Wuji, and the masters of the Black Lotus Devil's Nest. Potential enemies are even heavenly figures such as the Spider Mother, the Demon Buddha, and the White Dragon.
This caused Shen Lang's self-cognition to be slightly deviated, his mentality was very humble, and his self-positioning was not too high——
My buddies are surrounded by great masters, and the opponents are also powerful. Even if I kill Lian Yunxiao and other opponents, they all took the first opportunity, used all means, and tried their best to succeed. It is really impossible to float!
So Shen Lang really didn't know how fierce and mighty he was in the local area outside the capital now. It is not an exaggeration at all to say that ordinary people in the Jianghu have turned pale at him because of his reputation.
At this moment, seeing He Wei and Feng Wei trembling, sweating profusely, and even about to cry, Shen Lang couldn't help wondering for a while:
What's up with these two guys?
Why did you talk, and suddenly became like this?
Could it be that……
What did the chasing wind faction do to hurt the heavens and reason? They had ghosts in their hearts. When they heard that I was a member of the God Catching Hall, they suddenly frightened the idiot?
As soon as he thought of this, Shen Lang's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at He Wei and Feng Wei, and said in a deep voice:
"What have you guys done? You still haven't taken it seriously!"
Poo tom!
Forced by his sharp gaze, and feeling the evil spirit raised by his rolling human head, He Wei and Feng Wei's knees softened immediately, and they knelt directly on the ground.
That Feng Wei said with tears:
"I am wronged, I am wronged! Although I have been on the mountain since I was a child, and I only go home every year during the New Year and holidays for 11 years, but I am just an ordinary disciple. I don't know the secrecy of the sect. What bad things have I done? , I really don’t know either!”
Then He Wei was also trembling, and said in a trembling voice with sweat on his face:
"Catcher Shen Shen is a clear lesson, I, He Wei, swear to God, I don't know anything about what the sect does! Captain Shen is going to investigate the Wind Chaser Sect today. Head off my mountain gate, but yes, I can help Shen Butou persuade some fellow sects who are usually honest, dedicated to martial arts, and have no bad deeds..."
Listening and listening, Shen Lang couldn't help wondering again:
At first, I thought that these two guys were so frightened because of their guilty conscience, but how do they sound...
It seems that the situation is not what I imagined?
"Wait first!" Shen Lang made a pause gesture, "Who told you that I'm here to investigate the Wind Chaser faction, and even destroy your mountain gate?"
"what?"
"Uh……"
He Wei and Feng Wei looked dull and dazed for a long time, then He Wei asked cautiously:
"Isn't catcher Shen here to investigate the case?"
Shen Lang said lightly:
"I am here to investigate the case. But I am not here to investigate the Wind Chaser Sect, but there is a case where the victim is a disciple of your Wind Chaser Sect, and you need to cooperate with the investigation."
If my buddy really came to investigate and deal with the Wind Chaser faction, he wouldn't be alone!
Although my brother can indeed defeat the Chasing Wind Sect by himself, but such a large sect requires a lot of manpower just to count the captured prisoners and escort the prisoners. You must first go to Wuyang Mansion to mobilize the arresters and local soldiers, and give the mountain to the soldiers. Surrounded, come to arrest criminals again.
"..."
He Wei and Feng Wei stared wide-eyed, stared blankly for a long time, exhaled a long breath together, sat down on the ground weakly, looked at each other, and at the same time showed a smile of how good it is to live after the catastrophe.
Until Shen Lang said impatiently:
"Where are you two staying here to act? The head catcher is busy with work, and I don't have time to delay with you, so hurry up and take me to see your head!"
He Wei and Feng Wei hurriedly got up, wiped off the dust on their buttocks, and bowed deeply to Shen Lang:
"Catcher Shen, please follow us."
When it was over, Pidianpidian led the way, walking briskly as if he had picked up 1 silver dollars.
In other words, for He and Feng, the "cold-blooded massacre" is not here to kill people and exterminate their families. The feeling of surviving after a catastrophe is really like picking up 1 yuan out of thin air, and the whole person is so happy. Woke up.
Shen Lang followed the two of them and stepped on a steep and narrow stone step dug on the cliff with a slope of nearly sixty degrees and a width of less than one foot. Seeing that the two people in front of them are not weak in light work, their legs and feet are also particularly agile , I said in my heart that these two guys are not weak in martial arts, they are both sixth-rank warriors, why are they so cowardly?
Why don't people who practice martial arts have any blood and courage?
The wind chasing faction picked these two cowards to look at the gate as a facade, and this faction doesn't look very good.
But then again...
When they first heard that I was a policeman from the God of Catchers, although these two guys were a little scared, they were not frightened yet.
It wasn't until I reported my name again and knew that my name was Shen Lang that they were scared out of their wits.
and so……
Dude, now in the arena, do you actually have such a deterrent force that you can scare sixth-rank warriors to their knees just by their name?
I don't seem to have done any big things, have I investigated any big people?
Because the level of daily contact is too high, in Shen Lang's mind, at least he has to be at the level of Lian Yunxiao and the man in purple to be considered a "big man".
The others are just idlers, no matter how much they do, it's not worth mentioning.
So Shen Lang really didn't take his series of victories from Yingzhou to heart.
He didn't realize at all how terrible his record was in the eyes of local sects like the Wind Chaser Sect—the eighteen well-known black market killers in the capital who were killed overnight by him had the ability to kill them overnight. In the meantime, all the sects of Chasing Wind were destroyed.
If he gathered the people he had killed on the surface last year—not including Lian Yunxiao, the people in purple clothes, etc. who are not inconvenient to disclose their achievements—it would be easier to wipe out two or three Wind Chaser factions.
In short, although Shen Lang's prestige has not spread throughout the entire Eastern Land for the time being, at least in the places closer to the capital, in the eyes of those well-informed Jianghu people, he is already a "big man" who cannot be offended.
And as time goes by, the legend about him will surely spread more and more widely.
As He and Feng climbed the mountain for more than a hundred feet along the stone steps, the front suddenly opened up, and there appeared a terrace full of cedar and cypress, with lakes and streams, and houses.
This rather vast mountaintop platform is where the gate of the Chasing Wind School is located.
Shen Lang with his hands behind his back, Sui He and Feng walked on a spacious road paved with stone slabs. From time to time, in the woods on both sides, there were young men and women with lead weights on their legs chasing each other, practicing lightness skills and leg skills .
There is also a group of teenagers, on a training ground located in a clearing in the forest, under the supervision of the master who passed on the skills, humming, haha, practicing boxing and kicking, and laying down the basics.
Seeing a stranger approaching, a child turned his head to look curiously, messed up his boxing, and was immediately whipped by the master with a rattan cane, tearing his eyes from the pain.
Seeing this situation, Shen Lang couldn't help laughing and said:
"The chasing wind faction is quite prosperous."
He Wei laughed and said:
"A small local faction should not be praised by Shen Butou."
"It's not too small. I inquired about it when I came here. There are more than 400 disciples of the Chasing Wind Sect who are still practicing at the mountain gate, regardless of the disciples who have already completed their skills."
When speaking, Shen Lang was also feeling emotional:
Not counting disciples like the Chasing Wind Sect who have already left their teachers, there are more than 400 people still in the mountain gate. If it was a non-governmental organization that gathers people to practice martial arts every day, if it was placed in the ancient times of the earth, it would have been highly vigilant and even suppressed and killed by the government.
But in Eastern Chu, such a sect is really not worth mentioning.
Not to mention the Chasing Wind Sect, even if it is a top-notch sect with tens of thousands of disciples and masters of the third rank?
If you really dare to make a big mess, you don't need to send out the army, and dozens of people from Shenzhutang can wipe it out.
Of course, the kind of top faction that can gain a foothold in Da Chu will not make trouble easily.
They all have big backers behind them.
The relationship may lead to a certain thousand-year-old family, a family of many generations, or even the emperor's relatives, or even the royal real person.
A small number of patriarchs of the top schools even followed Taizu Chu to fight in the country.
A few sects were even established with the support of Chu Taizu by the heroic military generals who had no intention of official career after conquering the country.
Yan Tianying once said that the background of the Great Chu royal family is unfathomable. On the surface, this kind of school is only the top of the martial arts school, and some of them are one of the royal family's background.
Many masters who defended the imperial palace came from such top schools.
Chatting casually all the way, when they came to the main entrance of a decent courtyard, He Wei pleaded guilty, and Feng Wei stayed in front of the door to accompany Shen Lang, while he went in to report.
The current head of the Chasing Wind Sect is Zhou Hongwei. He is in his early forties this year. He has a mid-term cultivation of the fourth rank of martial arts, but his potential is almost exhausted. If he is lucky in his lifetime, he can barely reach the fourth rank at most.
When Shen Lang arrived, Zhou Hongwei, head of Zhou, was discussing with the elders of the faction the regulations for recruiting disciples in early February.
The Chasing Wind Sect recruits disciples every three years, and about [-]% of the disciples are carefully selected good seedlings, who are truly cultivated for the sect to inherit martial arts.
In addition, [-]% of the new disciples are the sons and daughters of wealthy families.
The requirements for talents and roots are slightly lower, mainly for the purpose of generating income and networking.
This year just happened to be the time for recruiting new disciples once every three years, and head Zhou felt that the standards for recruiting disciples could be relaxed, and more sons and daughters from wealthy families could be recruited.
"For the past 20 years, our Chasing Wind Sect has adopted too strict standards for recruiting disciples, and we have missed many sons and daughters of good families. For example, the son of Chu Yuan's family in Fucheng was rejected by our side six years ago because he was too fat. Throwing [-] silver dollars into the sect of the Songshan School. In the past six years, I heard that they have donated [-] silver dollars to the Songshan School every year...
"This sect leader feels that it is necessary for us to learn from the Songshan sect, but don't turn away any disciples who are interested in martial arts. We must give them a chance to practice martial arts. There is no distinction between teaching and learning. Let the Zhuifeng sect use lightness kung fu, Good at legs, the criteria for recruiting disciples, I think it can be simple and clear, it doesn't matter if you are too fat, it doesn't matter if you are born weak, as long as you have legs..."
Some elders disagree:
"Master, I've heard that the big fat young man from Chu Yuan's family has practiced martial arts for six years, and he didn't even have a seventh-rank cultivation base. How can this kind of iron waste be recruited into the sect? If we really want to relax the standards, some Money is all you need, and if you have legs, you can recruit, then my disciples of the Chasing Wind Sect will inevitably be good and bad, how will we maintain the prestige of the No. [-] sect in Wuyang Mansion in the future?"
Head Zhou said lightly:
"Although Mr. Chu failed in martial arts, he succeeded in losing weight, right? Now he is no longer a fat man of three hundred catties, but has become a good-looking talent, right?
"The Songshan sect was originally a second-rate sect, and it couldn't even get into the top five in Wuyang Prefecture. In the past 20 years, it has always insisted on the beauty of adults, teaching without discrimination, and gradually developed and flourished.
"Now it is the second largest faction in Wuyang Mansion under my Chasing Wind Sect. If things go on like this, in a few years, won't the title of the largest faction in Wuyang Mansion be snatched away by Songshan Sect sooner or later? "
Some elders laughed disapprovingly and said:
"The Songshan faction seems to be thriving, but it is actually vulnerable. The strongest elder is only at the early stage of the fourth rank. You can easily kill him with two hands, the head of the sect.
"If we really want to fight, I can destroy the Songshan faction with only [-]% of my Chasing Wind faction. Even the second largest faction of the year, the Plum Blossom Society, which was squeezed to the third by the Songshan faction the year before last, can be defeated head-on. Songshan pie..."
Master Zhou held the teacup in one hand and scraped the tea foam with the lid in the other, and said quietly:
"Naive. If there is going to be a conflict, you dare to take action against those wealthy and powerful disciples of the Songshan Sect? If you really want to hurt a few of them, a piece of pleading paper from their family will be brought before the Fu Zun, what will you do?
"Aren't we rogues who have nothing to worry about, who can roam the rivers and lakes with a sharp knife and a bad horse? We are landowners with a family and a business, and we can provoke the government?
"Even if we don't use the power of the government, the Songshan faction can spend money to hire a lot of masters, and easily destroy us."
Having said that, Master Zhou put down his teacup, looked around at the elders, and said earnestly:
"Gentlemen, times are different.
"Twenty years ago, if a martial arts sect like my Chasing Wind Sect really wanted to make trouble, the Fu Zun would have a headache. But now?
"Fu Zun has a warrant, hundreds of musketeers cover the mountain, a few small cannons, and a few not-so-weak martial artists with guns to catch heads. Who would dare to make a mistake?
"In these days, what is the most important thing to gain a foothold in the Jianghu? It is money! How did the Songshan faction become the second largest faction in Wuyang Prefecture? Is it by force? No, they rely on money and connections! "
The elders were silent for a while.
After a long time, the elder murmured in a low voice:
"Regardless of martial arts, only talking about money and connections... Is martial arts still martial arts?"
Head Zhou said lightly:
"Some people learn martial arts from masters to avenge blood hatred. Some people worship entry schools just to eat. Some people want to learn martial arts, join the army as an official, and honor their ancestors. Some people come from rich families and practice martial arts. It's purely out of hobbies, or the family wants to wear down their dandies, or even lose weight and strengthen their bodies...
"Ninety-nine percent of people who practice martial arts don't have lofty ideals. Only a very small number of people in the martial arts are pursuing the peak of martial arts, or even transcending the world.
"Unfortunately, none of us in the Wind Chaser Sect are qualified to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts, let alone transcendence. Since that's the case, it's better to be realistic and live a more prosperous and prosperous life in our lifetime."
Master Zhou said the truth, and the elders were silent for a while.
Sect Leader, this is really not a blow to them.
Master Zhou himself is the most gifted among the elders in this generation, but even he only dared to hope for a fourth-rank success.
Among the young disciples of the next generation, Zhou Zhang personally passed on his disciples, and Shen Wu, the contemporary head disciple, only had the potential of the fourth rank, not much better than Zhou Zhang.
With such a level, in Wuyang Prefecture, he can be regarded as a martial arts genius.In the future, if he can reach the fourth rank, he can also be the master of the martial arts in the Wuyang Prefecture.
But even the third rank of martial arts, the first level of martial arts ladder, can't climb up, so why expect to be the top of martial arts?
It's really better to be more realistic as Master Zhou said...
When all the elders were feeling mixed feelings, a disciple came in and preached:
"Headmaster, He Wei came to report, saying that there is a head catcher from the God Detective Hall, and we are here to investigate the case. By the way, the head catcher is named Shen Lang."
God catching the head to catch the head, come to the Chaser to investigate the case?
Sect Leader Zhou and the elders looked at each other for a while.
Suddenly, Master Zhou frowned:
"The name Shen Lang seems to have been heard somewhere..."
The face of the elder in charge of foreign affairs changed, and he lost his voice:
"Shen Lang in the God's Catching Hall? Could it be... cold-blooded human slaughter, Shen Lang!"
hiss……
As soon as the foreign affairs elder finished speaking, there was a gasp in the hall.
The head of Zhou was even more nervous, and his first thought was:
The evil star is coming to your door, you have to run away quickly!
There is a secret road in the back mountain, which can go down to the back mountainside, and then hang down to the foot of the mountain through a rope hidden in the mountain wall, which is more than 50 feet long.
Then take a secret path to pick up the wives and children who have been secretly placed outside, take the gold and silver accumulated over the years, take the canal and take a boat to the south, until they reach the Chilong River that separates the north from the south, and then flow down the Chilong River to the mouth of the sea, and then change Going to Nanyang by sea boat, he defected to the Seven Seas Dragon King for the reason of being persecuted by the government...
Just after quickly going through the escape route in his mind, the head of Zhou changed his mind again:
No, I did not break the law!
Although the Shenchuitang are all evil stars with strong hands and jealousy, but I have not committed any crimes. The shops, bodyguards, and fields under the name of the Chaser faction also pay taxes every year according to the regulations. You should come and fuck me!
Could it be that someone in the faction committed crimes behind my back, committed a serious crime, and committed a serious death, which attracted the murderous young evil star of "Cold-Blooded Rentu"?
At this time, an elder forced himself to calmly ask:
"Leng...Why did Butou Shen come to my Wind Chasing Sect to investigate the case? But someone from my Chasing Wind Sect commits a crime and fell into the hands of Butou Shen?"
The disciple who reported said:
"No. He Wei said that Shen Tutou encountered a case, and the sufferer was a disciple of our Wind Chaser Sect, so he came here specifically to ask us to assist in the investigation."
"..."
Oh, it turns out that our disciples of the Wind Chaser Sect did not commit the crime, but were committed the crime. "Cold-Blooded Rentu" came to show our disciples of the Wind Chaser Sect.
Hearing this, all the elders breathed a sigh of relief, and all of them became angry for no reason, and stared at the disciple who informed him.
Even the master Zhou stared at the notifying disciple with a serious face, which made the disciple's scalp numb, bewildered, and trembling with fright, and he didn't know what had offended the old guy in the room.
After staring at the disciple for a long time, head master Zhou suppressed his anger and said coldly:
"In the future, if you dare to speak, you will only speak half of it, and the door rules will serve you! Don't back down!"
As if the disciple had received an amnesty, he quickly scrambled and retreated.
Master Zhou took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and looked at the elders with a smile:
"Elders, why don't we go out together and meet that young but famous Shen Butou?"
An elder hesitated and said:
"This...we welcome so many old guys together, will Butou Shen be misunderstood and think we are trying to show him off?"
Master Zhou chuckled:
"Of course not. As long as we are more enthusiastic, how can Captain Shen misunderstand us? He will only be happy for our grand reception."
So soon, Shen Lang felt the enthusiasm of the Chaser School.
I saw an imposing, tall middle-aged man in an official uniform, leading eight old guys in their 50s and [-]s, coming out with smiles all over their faces, and greeted them warmly from a long distance away:
"But Shen Butou of the God Detective Hall is in person? Little Ke Zhou Hongwei, you are the head of the Chasing Wind Sect! Oh, Shen Butou is here, and Zhou is disappointed. I hope Shen Butou Haihan forgives his sins!"
While speaking, he stopped ten steps away from Shen Lang, clasped his fists with both hands, and gave a deep bow.
The eight old guys also bowed their hands and said in unison:
"Eighth Elder of the Chasing Wind Sect, welcome Shen Butou of the God Catching Hall!"
Shen Lang was a little dazed by the grand gesture of the Chasing Wind Sect, but he didn't expect the head of the Dignified Sect to go out with eight elders to meet him, causing him to mutter in his heart:
Is it because the buddies are too famous, or is it because the chasing school is not very successful?
The head of Zhou is not so much the head of a martial arts sect as he is a business owner.
This posture is as good as receiving inspections from leaders, or welcoming big investors to send money...
It was the first time for Shen Lang to receive such a warm and grand reception, and when he came to his senses, he had already entered the lobby of the Chasing Wind Sect, accompanied by Sect Leader Zhou and surrounded by eight elders.
Then it was the routine process of taking their seats, offering tea and cakes, and the elders introducing themselves.
After all this came to an end, the head of Zhou smiled and asked:
"Shen Butou, I don't know which disciple of our school has an accident and wants to work for Shen Butou?"
Finally got to the point!
Shen Lang also heaved a sigh of relief, the enthusiasm of these old guys from the Chasing Wind School really made him a little overwhelmed.
Immediately his face straightened, and he said solemnly:
"May I ask Master Zhou, Cheng Xin and Guan Yue are disciples of your sect?"
The head of Zhou was slightly startled, and looked at an elder.
The elder's surname is Liu, and he is the elder who manages the disciples of the sect. Hearing this, he nodded:
"Cheng Xin and Guan Yue are both disciples of the fifth generation of our sect. Yicheng left the mountain in July last year. Originally, I arranged for them to work in the escort agency of our sect. Later, they had a better connection. After reporting to the escort agency, they resigned. Went to Tongshan County to do something..."
There are two kinds of disciples recruited by the Chasing Wind Sect.
One is to recruit disciples from wealthy families to earn money, and of course there are high requirements for qualifications.
The other type is the disciples who inherit the martial arts of the sect. This kind of disciples have stricter requirements on aptitude, and they don't care about their background.
But the disciples who inherit martial arts will also be subdivided.
The group with the best aptitude will be accepted as personal disciples by the sect master and the elders, who will be carefully trained.After becoming an artist, they usually stay in the mountain gate to work, or arrange to go to management positions in various industries of the sect.
The group with lesser qualifications, of course, is not left to fend for itself, what should be taught is still to be taught, but there is no one-on-one guidance from the real master, only the "master" who teaches the big lessons.
After becoming successful, they will also be assigned jobs in the sect's own industry, but they must start from the grassroots and be promoted based on merit.
But if the disciple finds a better future, the sect will not stop him.
Cheng Xin and Guan Yue belonged to the ordinary disciples who had received the true instruction but did not have a real master.
Both of them came from ordinary backgrounds. They were both peasant children in the countryside. They went to the mountains to learn art. One was to save food for their younger brothers and sisters and reduce the burden on the family. .
Elder Liu introduced the situation of Cheng Xin and Guan Yue in detail, and then asked:
"Dare to ask Shen Butou, what happened to these two disciples?"
If Cheng Xin and Guan Yue were working in the Chasing Wind Sect's own property, then the Chasing Wind Sect would naturally be able to grasp their situation in real time.
But Cheng and Guan have already found their own future, and it is impossible for the Chaser to know their situation at any time.
The case is still under investigation, and Shen Lang did not answer the tragic experience of Cheng and Guan, but only said lightly:
"Cheng Xin and Guan Yue went to work in Tongshan County, did they find it themselves, or was it introduced by someone?"
Although his tone was calm, there was some discomfort in his heart.
He has always been soft-hearted, even a bit inclined towards the Holy Mother, with a bodhisattva heart, and he hates the tragedy of the world the most.
Cheng Xin and Guan Yue are the eldest sons and daughters of their respective families. In order to reduce the burden on the family and change the poverty situation, they went to the mountain to learn art. They finally went down the mountain to help their parents and support their younger siblings, but...
Thinking of this, Shen Lang's eyelids drooped slightly, his expression was gloomy, and he was already thinking about catching the murderer who raised demons and cannibals, skinned him, cut his heart out, and then fed the little spider with his soul.
"This..." Elder Liu was slightly taken aback, and looked at Sect Leader Zhou.
Head Zhou frowned and said, "What are you looking at me for? Answer Shen Butou truthfully."
Elder Liu nodded and answered truthfully:
"Cheng and Guan went to work in Tongshan County, which was the way introduced by the head disciple Shen Wu."
"..."
The head of Zhou was speechless for a while, coughed twice, and without waiting for Shen Lang's request, he directly ordered a disciple who was waiting at the door:
"Then what, go and call your big brother!"
After the disciple took the order to go, head master Zhou laughed again:
"Shen Wu was originally a homeless beggar. Ten years ago, he was only 13 years old. He didn't know martial arts. He just relied on his courage to climb over the iron chain and worship in the mountain gate. I saw that he was very talented, courageous and willing to endure hardships. , so he was accepted as a personal disciple, and now he has a fourth-rank entry-level cultivation..."
Shen Lang nodded slightly:
"Yes, it is a talent."
After chatting for a few more words, a tall, straight and handsome young man dressed in strong clothes strode in and bowed to the head of Zhou:
"Master, did you call me?"
It was Shen Wu, the head disciple of the Chasing Wind Sect.
[There are only two days left in September, ask for a monthly ticket~! 】
(End of this chapter)
Wuyang Mansion is not far from the capital, only more than 300 miles away from the official road.
Shen Lang didn't even need to ride a horse. After leaving the capital, he blessed himself with a "Spiritual Flying Technique", and took big strides on the spacious and flat official road to perform lightness kung fu. Arrived at Wuyang Fucheng.
The "Wind Chaser Sect" from the two victims, Cheng Xin and Guan Yue, is the largest sect in Wuyang Mansion, and the sect is based on "Xiaoyue Mountain" outside the city.
Shen Lang casually found a fly restaurant in Fucheng to have lunch, asked someone to find out where Xiaoyue Mountain was, and left Fucheng from the west gate, heading towards Xiaoyue Mountain.
Xiaoyue Mountain is steep, with strange peaks, and evergreen trees such as cedar and cypress. Even though it is only a few days after the new year, it is still a cold and windy season. Xiaoyue Mountain is still lush and beautiful, and Shen Lang Therefore, I slowed down a little and browsed the scenery and mountains all the way. Before I knew it, I came to a deep gorge called "Yianxian Gorge".
The canyon named "Yianxianxia" has thirty if not half a hundred in the vast eastern land.
But the first-line gorge of Xiaoyue Mountain is a little different.
The mountain gate of the "Chasing Wind School" is on the Pingding Peak opposite the Yixian Gorge.
The Pingding Peak is surrounded by cliffs at least [-] feet high, there is no other way to climb to the top, only this one-line gorge about [-] to [-] feet wide can lead to the gate of Chasing Wind School.
And connecting the two ends of the canyon, there are only three iron chains that are as thick as a child's arm, one foot apart from each other.
The "Zhuifeng Sect" is famous for its lightness kung fu and legwork. All the disciples under the sect are very good at lightness kung fu and their legwork is outstanding. These three iron chains are the "road" for the successful disciples of the "Zhuifeng Sect" to go in and out of the mountain gate every day. .
As for the idlers, it is of course impossible to cross the three iron chains to the opposite side of the Yiyi Gorge.
Even for ordinary warriors, if they want to pay a visit to the Wind Chaser Sect, they need to have some real skills.
Shen Lang walked to the edge of the canyon, looked down, and saw clouds and mist shrouded under the cliff, and the river below was only a thin stream, estimated to be one or two hundred feet deep.
People with fear of heights stand on the edge of the cliff and look down, and they will be so frightened that they will sweat profusely and their hands will be weak, let alone step on the iron chain and walk to the opposite side.
Looking across the deep gorge, you will see an octagonal gazebo at the end of the iron chain on the opposite side of the cliff.
Two young disciples of the Wind Chasing Sect were standing in the pavilion and pointing.
Shen Lang urged his internal energy, concentrated his energy in both ears, and immediately heard the discussion of the two disciples of the Wind Chaser Sect.
"Senior brother, look at that kid on the opposite side, standing on the edge of the cliff and poking his head, he seems to want to come over."
"Well, maybe it's a young man who yearns for martial arts masters and wants to come to our Chasing Wind School to learn from a teacher."
"It's not yet the time to recruit disciples once every three years. If you want to learn from a teacher, you have to walk the iron chain yourself! Senior brother, do you think that kid can do it?"
"This iron chain looks dangerous. In fact, as long as you are brave enough, even if you don't know martial arts, you can climb over with hands and feet. However, ordinary people who don't know martial arts will be so frightened that their hands and feet are limp when they look into the deep gorge. How dare you climb the iron chain? Speaking of which, the last ten years of our Wind Chaser Sect, the current senior brother, climbed the iron chain to learn from a teacher. How can that kid..."
As soon as I said this, I saw the young boy on the opposite side stepping on the iron rope in the middle with his hands behind his back, walking away on the iron rope at a leisurely pace like a picnic outing come over.
There was a gust of wind blowing through the gorge, and even the iron chain was slightly shaken, but the boy still walked forward leisurely without shaking his body or shaking his feet.
The two Chasing Wind sect disciples immediately shut up and looked at each other, seeing embarrassment in each other's eyes.
"Senior brother, that little...young hero seems to be a master!"
"Well, the pace is so calm, and the strong wind through the gorge does not move at all. The lightness kung fu is amazing, the kung fu is strong, and he is a master."
"Looking at the face, I don't know what it means."
"Come here alone, without weapons, there should be no hostility."
The two whispered a few words, straightened their clothes, and walked out of the pavilion.
Although the boy on the iron chain looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, in the martial arts, the strong are respected, and those who have strength should be respected.
Furthermore, there are quite a few old monsters in Jianghu, who look young, but God knows if they have been cultivated so high that they will stay young forever, or even revert to their youth.
As the concierges of the largest sect in Wuyang Mansion, these two disciples of the Chasing Wind Sect knew very well, they would never judge a person by their appearance, and put on a domineering posture to provoke enemies for the sect.
When Shen Lang walked through the iron chain and stepped onto the edge of the cliff, the two disciples of the Windchasing School immediately cupped their hands and bowed:
"He Wei [Feng Shan], a disciple of the Chasing Wind Sect, welcomes the distinguished guest. I don't know where the guest came from? What's your business?"
"I am Shen Lang, who is the God's arresting hall."
Shen Lang didn't wear a uniform, just plain clothes, but he still carried his waist badge with him, so he showed the God Catcher's waist badge for the two wind chasers to take a closer look:
"There is a case related to the Wind Chasers, and we need your assistance in the investigation."
"Huh? Quick catcher from God's catching hall?"
The two disciples of the Chasing Wind Sect were shocked, their faces were a little uncomfortable, and there was even a hint of panic in their eyes.
There is no way, although there are not many people in the hall of gods, but the reputation is really not small.
Especially the Wuyang Mansion Chasing Wind Sect, a martial arts sect not too far from the capital, often heard about the majestic deeds of Shenchuitang.
In other words, in the last year alone, there have been more than a hundred well-known gangsters, gangsters, evil spirits and demons who were arrested and beheaded by the Shenhuntang, and whose strength was at least above the fifth rank.
As for the unnamed masters, there are even no cases that have been circulated, let alone how many cases there are-such as the case of the South China Sea Sword Sect, the case of the Black Lotus Devil's Nest, and the case of the Dawei King Kong Temple have not been circulated.
If it were known that Mu Qingxue of the God Catch Hall killed a fake third-rank martial artist, two real third-rank warriors, and three fourth-rank Dharma cultivators last year, the world would be shocked.
And as far as the Chasing Wind faction knows, apart from those gangsters, gangsters, and demons and monsters, last year, Shencatching Hall also uprooted two martial arts sects that had an affair with demons, and wiped out a family that spread cults. The martial arts family.
They also copied the homes of three high-ranking court officials, and captured a family of hereditary nobles who had been passed down from the founding of the country to the present.
In this series of cases, it is said that several warriors who had reached the fourth rank were arrested and beheaded, and several Taoist monks who were not low in rank were also arrested.
In short, for a local sect like the Wind Chasing Sect, the Shencatching Hall is a huge monster that can never be provoked-the Wind Chasing Sect, the largest sect in Wuyang Mansion, is in the final analysis only a local sect, with only four masters. Mid-term repair of the product.
However, Shenchuangtang is an organization that can handle cases in the entire Eastern Land, including the territory of the Great Chu Domain.
Every head-hunter in the God-Catching Hall is the elite of the elite, the master of the master.
It is said that any headhunter has the strength to single out four or five warriors of the same realm - this rumor must be exaggerated.
However, the arsenal of Shenchuitang is rich in information, and the headhunters all have profound martial arts experience, Yan Tianying gives pointers from time to time, and there are various equipment and amulets sponsored by Wan Famen, and the combat effectiveness of the headhunters of Shenchuangtang , It is indeed far superior to the scattered people of the Jianghu, and most of the sects that are not arrogant enough at all.
It is not that exaggerated for the ordinary headhunters in the Shenhuntang to pick four or five at the same level, but it is still no problem to pick two or three.
As for the local sects like the Wind Chaser Sect, Shenhuntang can send out any elite at will, for example, Zhu, who is a fourth-rank master, can destroy the Wind Chaser Sect by ignoring Zhu Butou.
Shencatching Hall is so famous, it is natural for the martial arts sects to be in awe of it.
Seeing that Shen Lang is actually an arrester from the God Detective Hall, and is still here to investigate the case from the Wind Chaser Sect, He Wei and Feng Shan, the two disciples of the guards, suddenly became panicked.
After being at a loss for a while, the senior brother He Wei just cupped his hands and said in a trembling voice:
"Dare to ask this..."
Speaking of this, He Wei's voice broke suddenly, and he didn't know how to address Shen Lang.
Shen Lang has actually signed up.
However, He Wei and Feng Shan, when they heard the five words "Shen Catch Tang Catch Fast", their minds were in a mess. They only knew that Shen Lang came to find the Wind Chaser to investigate the case, but they forgot his name up.
Shen Lang had no choice but to repeat it again:
"My surname is Shen, and my first name is Lang. You can just call me Shen Butou."
He Wei hurriedly said:
"So it was Shen Lang who caught the head in person! I'm..."
Having said this, He Wei suddenly trembled all over, his face turned pale, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, his legs began to tremble, he looked at Shen Lang in horror, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't utter a word.
Not only He Wei, but also Feng Wei, who looked at Shen Lang as if seeing a ghost.
As the disciples of the Chasing Wind Sect who guard the gate and welcome guests, He Wei and Feng Shan are not only clever and witty, but also memorize the "Heroes Book" and know the names of many important people, so as not to be ignorant and provoke powerful people who should not be provoked.
And the name "Shen Catching Hall Shen Lang" is exactly a "big man" they have only recently memorized.
According to the legend, Shen Lang is from Yingzhou. He was born as a hunter in the mountains.
It is said that although this gentleman is young, he is ruthless and murderous. Not long after his debut, he already has more than a hundred heads in his hands.
When he left Yingzhou alone and went north to the capital, he single-handedly killed hundreds of killers and enemies who were chasing him. Among them were several warriors who had reached the fifth rank, and there was also a conjurer from the Izumo Kingdom.
When passing through the Luling Mansion, he single-handedly cracked the "Spider Mother Walker" case, and in this case, beheaded six spider mother walkers and a group of demon minions.
And among the six spider walkers, there are two fifth-rank warriors and four fourth-rank warriors, and they are all beauties of all sizes.
In the capital, he would squat at his house and fight back against the eighteen famous black market killers who tried to ambush and assassinate him. As a result, there was a shortage of killers in the capital, which has not been alleviated until now.
This is not all of Shen Lang's achievements in "Shen Catch Hall".
There is reason to suspect that he has more hidden records and beat stronger opponents.
The above information is all from the black market, collected by the foreign affairs elders of the Chasing Wind Sect.
Now Shen Lang's reward in the black market has increased to 20 silver dollars - before the battle of the Eighteen Killers, it was only 18.Afterwards, someone added [-] yuan to make up the whole thing.
And in the black market, Shen Lang even got a murderous title - Cold-blooded Rentu.It is said that he is cruel and bloodless, cruel and ruthless, and loves to destroy flowers with hot hands.
Even if she is a beautiful and beautiful woman, if she falls into his hands, she will be mercilessly beheaded.
Beheading with a sword or headshot with a gun is considered a good death.
It is normal operation to be torn apart, even beaten to the point where there is not a single hair left.
In short, Shen Lang's reputation in the black market has surpassed many veteran head catchers of the God Catch Hall, and his fierce reputation is directly chasing the three god catchers of the God Catch Hall: "Ruthless Iron Judge" Mu Qingxue, "Spirit Chaser" Yan Kai, "Mie Men Tu Coffin" Wu Lie.
He Wei and Feng Wei, the two little disciples of the door guards, although they memorized the "Heroes Book" by heart, never imagined that one day, they would really meet the big men on the "Heroes Book" to visit the mountain.
Especially the cold-blooded murder god "Shen Catching Hall Shen Lang" who came here.
Especially since he is still here to handle the case...
Although our Chasing Wind Sect bears the name of the No. [-] sect in Wuyang Mansion, but looking at Dongtu, there are not one hundred martial arts sects like ours, but there are also eighty. Tu" came to handle the case?
Isn't this the rhythm of killing the door?
Now He Wei and Feng Wei were really scared out of their wits.
Shen Langren was in the capital, and all day long he came into contact with the masters and colleagues of Shenzhutang, and even big figures like Yan Tianying.The people who come and go are Mu Qingxue, Senior Sister, and other powerful people who have always been stronger than him.
Even the opponents are formidable enemies such as Lian Yunxiao, the man in purple, the barbarian Wuji, and the masters of the Black Lotus Devil's Nest. Potential enemies are even heavenly figures such as the Spider Mother, the Demon Buddha, and the White Dragon.
This caused Shen Lang's self-cognition to be slightly deviated, his mentality was very humble, and his self-positioning was not too high——
My buddies are surrounded by great masters, and the opponents are also powerful. Even if I kill Lian Yunxiao and other opponents, they all took the first opportunity, used all means, and tried their best to succeed. It is really impossible to float!
So Shen Lang really didn't know how fierce and mighty he was in the local area outside the capital now. It is not an exaggeration at all to say that ordinary people in the Jianghu have turned pale at him because of his reputation.
At this moment, seeing He Wei and Feng Wei trembling, sweating profusely, and even about to cry, Shen Lang couldn't help wondering for a while:
What's up with these two guys?
Why did you talk, and suddenly became like this?
Could it be that……
What did the chasing wind faction do to hurt the heavens and reason? They had ghosts in their hearts. When they heard that I was a member of the God Catching Hall, they suddenly frightened the idiot?
As soon as he thought of this, Shen Lang's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at He Wei and Feng Wei, and said in a deep voice:
"What have you guys done? You still haven't taken it seriously!"
Poo tom!
Forced by his sharp gaze, and feeling the evil spirit raised by his rolling human head, He Wei and Feng Wei's knees softened immediately, and they knelt directly on the ground.
That Feng Wei said with tears:
"I am wronged, I am wronged! Although I have been on the mountain since I was a child, and I only go home every year during the New Year and holidays for 11 years, but I am just an ordinary disciple. I don't know the secrecy of the sect. What bad things have I done? , I really don’t know either!”
Then He Wei was also trembling, and said in a trembling voice with sweat on his face:
"Catcher Shen Shen is a clear lesson, I, He Wei, swear to God, I don't know anything about what the sect does! Captain Shen is going to investigate the Wind Chaser Sect today. Head off my mountain gate, but yes, I can help Shen Butou persuade some fellow sects who are usually honest, dedicated to martial arts, and have no bad deeds..."
Listening and listening, Shen Lang couldn't help wondering again:
At first, I thought that these two guys were so frightened because of their guilty conscience, but how do they sound...
It seems that the situation is not what I imagined?
"Wait first!" Shen Lang made a pause gesture, "Who told you that I'm here to investigate the Wind Chaser faction, and even destroy your mountain gate?"
"what?"
"Uh……"
He Wei and Feng Wei looked dull and dazed for a long time, then He Wei asked cautiously:
"Isn't catcher Shen here to investigate the case?"
Shen Lang said lightly:
"I am here to investigate the case. But I am not here to investigate the Wind Chaser Sect, but there is a case where the victim is a disciple of your Wind Chaser Sect, and you need to cooperate with the investigation."
If my buddy really came to investigate and deal with the Wind Chaser faction, he wouldn't be alone!
Although my brother can indeed defeat the Chasing Wind Sect by himself, but such a large sect requires a lot of manpower just to count the captured prisoners and escort the prisoners. You must first go to Wuyang Mansion to mobilize the arresters and local soldiers, and give the mountain to the soldiers. Surrounded, come to arrest criminals again.
"..."
He Wei and Feng Wei stared wide-eyed, stared blankly for a long time, exhaled a long breath together, sat down on the ground weakly, looked at each other, and at the same time showed a smile of how good it is to live after the catastrophe.
Until Shen Lang said impatiently:
"Where are you two staying here to act? The head catcher is busy with work, and I don't have time to delay with you, so hurry up and take me to see your head!"
He Wei and Feng Wei hurriedly got up, wiped off the dust on their buttocks, and bowed deeply to Shen Lang:
"Catcher Shen, please follow us."
When it was over, Pidianpidian led the way, walking briskly as if he had picked up 1 silver dollars.
In other words, for He and Feng, the "cold-blooded massacre" is not here to kill people and exterminate their families. The feeling of surviving after a catastrophe is really like picking up 1 yuan out of thin air, and the whole person is so happy. Woke up.
Shen Lang followed the two of them and stepped on a steep and narrow stone step dug on the cliff with a slope of nearly sixty degrees and a width of less than one foot. Seeing that the two people in front of them are not weak in light work, their legs and feet are also particularly agile , I said in my heart that these two guys are not weak in martial arts, they are both sixth-rank warriors, why are they so cowardly?
Why don't people who practice martial arts have any blood and courage?
The wind chasing faction picked these two cowards to look at the gate as a facade, and this faction doesn't look very good.
But then again...
When they first heard that I was a policeman from the God of Catchers, although these two guys were a little scared, they were not frightened yet.
It wasn't until I reported my name again and knew that my name was Shen Lang that they were scared out of their wits.
and so……
Dude, now in the arena, do you actually have such a deterrent force that you can scare sixth-rank warriors to their knees just by their name?
I don't seem to have done any big things, have I investigated any big people?
Because the level of daily contact is too high, in Shen Lang's mind, at least he has to be at the level of Lian Yunxiao and the man in purple to be considered a "big man".
The others are just idlers, no matter how much they do, it's not worth mentioning.
So Shen Lang really didn't take his series of victories from Yingzhou to heart.
He didn't realize at all how terrible his record was in the eyes of local sects like the Wind Chaser Sect—the eighteen well-known black market killers in the capital who were killed overnight by him had the ability to kill them overnight. In the meantime, all the sects of Chasing Wind were destroyed.
If he gathered the people he had killed on the surface last year—not including Lian Yunxiao, the people in purple clothes, etc. who are not inconvenient to disclose their achievements—it would be easier to wipe out two or three Wind Chaser factions.
In short, although Shen Lang's prestige has not spread throughout the entire Eastern Land for the time being, at least in the places closer to the capital, in the eyes of those well-informed Jianghu people, he is already a "big man" who cannot be offended.
And as time goes by, the legend about him will surely spread more and more widely.
As He and Feng climbed the mountain for more than a hundred feet along the stone steps, the front suddenly opened up, and there appeared a terrace full of cedar and cypress, with lakes and streams, and houses.
This rather vast mountaintop platform is where the gate of the Chasing Wind School is located.
Shen Lang with his hands behind his back, Sui He and Feng walked on a spacious road paved with stone slabs. From time to time, in the woods on both sides, there were young men and women with lead weights on their legs chasing each other, practicing lightness skills and leg skills .
There is also a group of teenagers, on a training ground located in a clearing in the forest, under the supervision of the master who passed on the skills, humming, haha, practicing boxing and kicking, and laying down the basics.
Seeing a stranger approaching, a child turned his head to look curiously, messed up his boxing, and was immediately whipped by the master with a rattan cane, tearing his eyes from the pain.
Seeing this situation, Shen Lang couldn't help laughing and said:
"The chasing wind faction is quite prosperous."
He Wei laughed and said:
"A small local faction should not be praised by Shen Butou."
"It's not too small. I inquired about it when I came here. There are more than 400 disciples of the Chasing Wind Sect who are still practicing at the mountain gate, regardless of the disciples who have already completed their skills."
When speaking, Shen Lang was also feeling emotional:
Not counting disciples like the Chasing Wind Sect who have already left their teachers, there are more than 400 people still in the mountain gate. If it was a non-governmental organization that gathers people to practice martial arts every day, if it was placed in the ancient times of the earth, it would have been highly vigilant and even suppressed and killed by the government.
But in Eastern Chu, such a sect is really not worth mentioning.
Not to mention the Chasing Wind Sect, even if it is a top-notch sect with tens of thousands of disciples and masters of the third rank?
If you really dare to make a big mess, you don't need to send out the army, and dozens of people from Shenzhutang can wipe it out.
Of course, the kind of top faction that can gain a foothold in Da Chu will not make trouble easily.
They all have big backers behind them.
The relationship may lead to a certain thousand-year-old family, a family of many generations, or even the emperor's relatives, or even the royal real person.
A small number of patriarchs of the top schools even followed Taizu Chu to fight in the country.
A few sects were even established with the support of Chu Taizu by the heroic military generals who had no intention of official career after conquering the country.
Yan Tianying once said that the background of the Great Chu royal family is unfathomable. On the surface, this kind of school is only the top of the martial arts school, and some of them are one of the royal family's background.
Many masters who defended the imperial palace came from such top schools.
Chatting casually all the way, when they came to the main entrance of a decent courtyard, He Wei pleaded guilty, and Feng Wei stayed in front of the door to accompany Shen Lang, while he went in to report.
The current head of the Chasing Wind Sect is Zhou Hongwei. He is in his early forties this year. He has a mid-term cultivation of the fourth rank of martial arts, but his potential is almost exhausted. If he is lucky in his lifetime, he can barely reach the fourth rank at most.
When Shen Lang arrived, Zhou Hongwei, head of Zhou, was discussing with the elders of the faction the regulations for recruiting disciples in early February.
The Chasing Wind Sect recruits disciples every three years, and about [-]% of the disciples are carefully selected good seedlings, who are truly cultivated for the sect to inherit martial arts.
In addition, [-]% of the new disciples are the sons and daughters of wealthy families.
The requirements for talents and roots are slightly lower, mainly for the purpose of generating income and networking.
This year just happened to be the time for recruiting new disciples once every three years, and head Zhou felt that the standards for recruiting disciples could be relaxed, and more sons and daughters from wealthy families could be recruited.
"For the past 20 years, our Chasing Wind Sect has adopted too strict standards for recruiting disciples, and we have missed many sons and daughters of good families. For example, the son of Chu Yuan's family in Fucheng was rejected by our side six years ago because he was too fat. Throwing [-] silver dollars into the sect of the Songshan School. In the past six years, I heard that they have donated [-] silver dollars to the Songshan School every year...
"This sect leader feels that it is necessary for us to learn from the Songshan sect, but don't turn away any disciples who are interested in martial arts. We must give them a chance to practice martial arts. There is no distinction between teaching and learning. Let the Zhuifeng sect use lightness kung fu, Good at legs, the criteria for recruiting disciples, I think it can be simple and clear, it doesn't matter if you are too fat, it doesn't matter if you are born weak, as long as you have legs..."
Some elders disagree:
"Master, I've heard that the big fat young man from Chu Yuan's family has practiced martial arts for six years, and he didn't even have a seventh-rank cultivation base. How can this kind of iron waste be recruited into the sect? If we really want to relax the standards, some Money is all you need, and if you have legs, you can recruit, then my disciples of the Chasing Wind Sect will inevitably be good and bad, how will we maintain the prestige of the No. [-] sect in Wuyang Mansion in the future?"
Head Zhou said lightly:
"Although Mr. Chu failed in martial arts, he succeeded in losing weight, right? Now he is no longer a fat man of three hundred catties, but has become a good-looking talent, right?
"The Songshan sect was originally a second-rate sect, and it couldn't even get into the top five in Wuyang Prefecture. In the past 20 years, it has always insisted on the beauty of adults, teaching without discrimination, and gradually developed and flourished.
"Now it is the second largest faction in Wuyang Mansion under my Chasing Wind Sect. If things go on like this, in a few years, won't the title of the largest faction in Wuyang Mansion be snatched away by Songshan Sect sooner or later? "
Some elders laughed disapprovingly and said:
"The Songshan faction seems to be thriving, but it is actually vulnerable. The strongest elder is only at the early stage of the fourth rank. You can easily kill him with two hands, the head of the sect.
"If we really want to fight, I can destroy the Songshan faction with only [-]% of my Chasing Wind faction. Even the second largest faction of the year, the Plum Blossom Society, which was squeezed to the third by the Songshan faction the year before last, can be defeated head-on. Songshan pie..."
Master Zhou held the teacup in one hand and scraped the tea foam with the lid in the other, and said quietly:
"Naive. If there is going to be a conflict, you dare to take action against those wealthy and powerful disciples of the Songshan Sect? If you really want to hurt a few of them, a piece of pleading paper from their family will be brought before the Fu Zun, what will you do?
"Aren't we rogues who have nothing to worry about, who can roam the rivers and lakes with a sharp knife and a bad horse? We are landowners with a family and a business, and we can provoke the government?
"Even if we don't use the power of the government, the Songshan faction can spend money to hire a lot of masters, and easily destroy us."
Having said that, Master Zhou put down his teacup, looked around at the elders, and said earnestly:
"Gentlemen, times are different.
"Twenty years ago, if a martial arts sect like my Chasing Wind Sect really wanted to make trouble, the Fu Zun would have a headache. But now?
"Fu Zun has a warrant, hundreds of musketeers cover the mountain, a few small cannons, and a few not-so-weak martial artists with guns to catch heads. Who would dare to make a mistake?
"In these days, what is the most important thing to gain a foothold in the Jianghu? It is money! How did the Songshan faction become the second largest faction in Wuyang Prefecture? Is it by force? No, they rely on money and connections! "
The elders were silent for a while.
After a long time, the elder murmured in a low voice:
"Regardless of martial arts, only talking about money and connections... Is martial arts still martial arts?"
Head Zhou said lightly:
"Some people learn martial arts from masters to avenge blood hatred. Some people worship entry schools just to eat. Some people want to learn martial arts, join the army as an official, and honor their ancestors. Some people come from rich families and practice martial arts. It's purely out of hobbies, or the family wants to wear down their dandies, or even lose weight and strengthen their bodies...
"Ninety-nine percent of people who practice martial arts don't have lofty ideals. Only a very small number of people in the martial arts are pursuing the peak of martial arts, or even transcending the world.
"Unfortunately, none of us in the Wind Chaser Sect are qualified to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts, let alone transcendence. Since that's the case, it's better to be realistic and live a more prosperous and prosperous life in our lifetime."
Master Zhou said the truth, and the elders were silent for a while.
Sect Leader, this is really not a blow to them.
Master Zhou himself is the most gifted among the elders in this generation, but even he only dared to hope for a fourth-rank success.
Among the young disciples of the next generation, Zhou Zhang personally passed on his disciples, and Shen Wu, the contemporary head disciple, only had the potential of the fourth rank, not much better than Zhou Zhang.
With such a level, in Wuyang Prefecture, he can be regarded as a martial arts genius.In the future, if he can reach the fourth rank, he can also be the master of the martial arts in the Wuyang Prefecture.
But even the third rank of martial arts, the first level of martial arts ladder, can't climb up, so why expect to be the top of martial arts?
It's really better to be more realistic as Master Zhou said...
When all the elders were feeling mixed feelings, a disciple came in and preached:
"Headmaster, He Wei came to report, saying that there is a head catcher from the God Detective Hall, and we are here to investigate the case. By the way, the head catcher is named Shen Lang."
God catching the head to catch the head, come to the Chaser to investigate the case?
Sect Leader Zhou and the elders looked at each other for a while.
Suddenly, Master Zhou frowned:
"The name Shen Lang seems to have been heard somewhere..."
The face of the elder in charge of foreign affairs changed, and he lost his voice:
"Shen Lang in the God's Catching Hall? Could it be... cold-blooded human slaughter, Shen Lang!"
hiss……
As soon as the foreign affairs elder finished speaking, there was a gasp in the hall.
The head of Zhou was even more nervous, and his first thought was:
The evil star is coming to your door, you have to run away quickly!
There is a secret road in the back mountain, which can go down to the back mountainside, and then hang down to the foot of the mountain through a rope hidden in the mountain wall, which is more than 50 feet long.
Then take a secret path to pick up the wives and children who have been secretly placed outside, take the gold and silver accumulated over the years, take the canal and take a boat to the south, until they reach the Chilong River that separates the north from the south, and then flow down the Chilong River to the mouth of the sea, and then change Going to Nanyang by sea boat, he defected to the Seven Seas Dragon King for the reason of being persecuted by the government...
Just after quickly going through the escape route in his mind, the head of Zhou changed his mind again:
No, I did not break the law!
Although the Shenchuitang are all evil stars with strong hands and jealousy, but I have not committed any crimes. The shops, bodyguards, and fields under the name of the Chaser faction also pay taxes every year according to the regulations. You should come and fuck me!
Could it be that someone in the faction committed crimes behind my back, committed a serious crime, and committed a serious death, which attracted the murderous young evil star of "Cold-Blooded Rentu"?
At this time, an elder forced himself to calmly ask:
"Leng...Why did Butou Shen come to my Wind Chasing Sect to investigate the case? But someone from my Chasing Wind Sect commits a crime and fell into the hands of Butou Shen?"
The disciple who reported said:
"No. He Wei said that Shen Tutou encountered a case, and the sufferer was a disciple of our Wind Chaser Sect, so he came here specifically to ask us to assist in the investigation."
"..."
Oh, it turns out that our disciples of the Wind Chaser Sect did not commit the crime, but were committed the crime. "Cold-Blooded Rentu" came to show our disciples of the Wind Chaser Sect.
Hearing this, all the elders breathed a sigh of relief, and all of them became angry for no reason, and stared at the disciple who informed him.
Even the master Zhou stared at the notifying disciple with a serious face, which made the disciple's scalp numb, bewildered, and trembling with fright, and he didn't know what had offended the old guy in the room.
After staring at the disciple for a long time, head master Zhou suppressed his anger and said coldly:
"In the future, if you dare to speak, you will only speak half of it, and the door rules will serve you! Don't back down!"
As if the disciple had received an amnesty, he quickly scrambled and retreated.
Master Zhou took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and looked at the elders with a smile:
"Elders, why don't we go out together and meet that young but famous Shen Butou?"
An elder hesitated and said:
"This...we welcome so many old guys together, will Butou Shen be misunderstood and think we are trying to show him off?"
Master Zhou chuckled:
"Of course not. As long as we are more enthusiastic, how can Captain Shen misunderstand us? He will only be happy for our grand reception."
So soon, Shen Lang felt the enthusiasm of the Chaser School.
I saw an imposing, tall middle-aged man in an official uniform, leading eight old guys in their 50s and [-]s, coming out with smiles all over their faces, and greeted them warmly from a long distance away:
"But Shen Butou of the God Detective Hall is in person? Little Ke Zhou Hongwei, you are the head of the Chasing Wind Sect! Oh, Shen Butou is here, and Zhou is disappointed. I hope Shen Butou Haihan forgives his sins!"
While speaking, he stopped ten steps away from Shen Lang, clasped his fists with both hands, and gave a deep bow.
The eight old guys also bowed their hands and said in unison:
"Eighth Elder of the Chasing Wind Sect, welcome Shen Butou of the God Catching Hall!"
Shen Lang was a little dazed by the grand gesture of the Chasing Wind Sect, but he didn't expect the head of the Dignified Sect to go out with eight elders to meet him, causing him to mutter in his heart:
Is it because the buddies are too famous, or is it because the chasing school is not very successful?
The head of Zhou is not so much the head of a martial arts sect as he is a business owner.
This posture is as good as receiving inspections from leaders, or welcoming big investors to send money...
It was the first time for Shen Lang to receive such a warm and grand reception, and when he came to his senses, he had already entered the lobby of the Chasing Wind Sect, accompanied by Sect Leader Zhou and surrounded by eight elders.
Then it was the routine process of taking their seats, offering tea and cakes, and the elders introducing themselves.
After all this came to an end, the head of Zhou smiled and asked:
"Shen Butou, I don't know which disciple of our school has an accident and wants to work for Shen Butou?"
Finally got to the point!
Shen Lang also heaved a sigh of relief, the enthusiasm of these old guys from the Chasing Wind School really made him a little overwhelmed.
Immediately his face straightened, and he said solemnly:
"May I ask Master Zhou, Cheng Xin and Guan Yue are disciples of your sect?"
The head of Zhou was slightly startled, and looked at an elder.
The elder's surname is Liu, and he is the elder who manages the disciples of the sect. Hearing this, he nodded:
"Cheng Xin and Guan Yue are both disciples of the fifth generation of our sect. Yicheng left the mountain in July last year. Originally, I arranged for them to work in the escort agency of our sect. Later, they had a better connection. After reporting to the escort agency, they resigned. Went to Tongshan County to do something..."
There are two kinds of disciples recruited by the Chasing Wind Sect.
One is to recruit disciples from wealthy families to earn money, and of course there are high requirements for qualifications.
The other type is the disciples who inherit the martial arts of the sect. This kind of disciples have stricter requirements on aptitude, and they don't care about their background.
But the disciples who inherit martial arts will also be subdivided.
The group with the best aptitude will be accepted as personal disciples by the sect master and the elders, who will be carefully trained.After becoming an artist, they usually stay in the mountain gate to work, or arrange to go to management positions in various industries of the sect.
The group with lesser qualifications, of course, is not left to fend for itself, what should be taught is still to be taught, but there is no one-on-one guidance from the real master, only the "master" who teaches the big lessons.
After becoming successful, they will also be assigned jobs in the sect's own industry, but they must start from the grassroots and be promoted based on merit.
But if the disciple finds a better future, the sect will not stop him.
Cheng Xin and Guan Yue belonged to the ordinary disciples who had received the true instruction but did not have a real master.
Both of them came from ordinary backgrounds. They were both peasant children in the countryside. They went to the mountains to learn art. One was to save food for their younger brothers and sisters and reduce the burden on the family. .
Elder Liu introduced the situation of Cheng Xin and Guan Yue in detail, and then asked:
"Dare to ask Shen Butou, what happened to these two disciples?"
If Cheng Xin and Guan Yue were working in the Chasing Wind Sect's own property, then the Chasing Wind Sect would naturally be able to grasp their situation in real time.
But Cheng and Guan have already found their own future, and it is impossible for the Chaser to know their situation at any time.
The case is still under investigation, and Shen Lang did not answer the tragic experience of Cheng and Guan, but only said lightly:
"Cheng Xin and Guan Yue went to work in Tongshan County, did they find it themselves, or was it introduced by someone?"
Although his tone was calm, there was some discomfort in his heart.
He has always been soft-hearted, even a bit inclined towards the Holy Mother, with a bodhisattva heart, and he hates the tragedy of the world the most.
Cheng Xin and Guan Yue are the eldest sons and daughters of their respective families. In order to reduce the burden on the family and change the poverty situation, they went to the mountain to learn art. They finally went down the mountain to help their parents and support their younger siblings, but...
Thinking of this, Shen Lang's eyelids drooped slightly, his expression was gloomy, and he was already thinking about catching the murderer who raised demons and cannibals, skinned him, cut his heart out, and then fed the little spider with his soul.
"This..." Elder Liu was slightly taken aback, and looked at Sect Leader Zhou.
Head Zhou frowned and said, "What are you looking at me for? Answer Shen Butou truthfully."
Elder Liu nodded and answered truthfully:
"Cheng and Guan went to work in Tongshan County, which was the way introduced by the head disciple Shen Wu."
"..."
The head of Zhou was speechless for a while, coughed twice, and without waiting for Shen Lang's request, he directly ordered a disciple who was waiting at the door:
"Then what, go and call your big brother!"
After the disciple took the order to go, head master Zhou laughed again:
"Shen Wu was originally a homeless beggar. Ten years ago, he was only 13 years old. He didn't know martial arts. He just relied on his courage to climb over the iron chain and worship in the mountain gate. I saw that he was very talented, courageous and willing to endure hardships. , so he was accepted as a personal disciple, and now he has a fourth-rank entry-level cultivation..."
Shen Lang nodded slightly:
"Yes, it is a talent."
After chatting for a few more words, a tall, straight and handsome young man dressed in strong clothes strode in and bowed to the head of Zhou:
"Master, did you call me?"
It was Shen Wu, the head disciple of the Chasing Wind Sect.
