Tao and Heaven

Chapter 33 The first battle of wits

In the middle of the night, a dark shadow climbed over the high wall.

Gu Wen landed lightly on the ground. At this moment, he had changed into black clothes, covered his face, and wore a bamboo hat.

I looked back at the three-meter-high wall behind me. Jumping down from such a height was like jumping down a step. The mystery of the movement can only be understood after experiencing it personally.

With the blessing of magic power and the operation of magic formulas, he was as light as a swallow after completing the first level of Falling Moon Step.

Following his memory, Gu Wen hurried along the alley. Bianjing was silent at night with drizzling rain. In the distance, Longqiao was bustling with singing and dancing and a life of decadence.

The Falling Moon Steps were silent and Gu Wen ran wildly without getting tired. Every bit of physical strength consumed would be offset by the circulation of mana driven by his Taoist foundation. Theoretically, as long as he had enough mana, he could keep running with almost unlimited physical strength.

About half an hour later, Gu Wen arrived at the south of the city, only one kilometer away from the gambling house.

But it takes a lot of twists and turns and takes another stick of incense time.

Suddenly, a man appeared at the corner ahead. He was poorly clothed, had a yellow face, and was hiding in the corner of the alley from the rain. No one knew where he came from.

Gu Wen ignored him. He kept walking forward with his face covered, at a very fast pace. Any normal person could tell there was something wrong with him at a glance.

But so what? He met so many beggars and refugees in the alleys along the way. They usually had no time to hide from the soldiers and officers, so how could they report to the authorities?
Those government officials, all of whom have big bellies, won't care what a commoner says, as they might kill innocent people to take credit for their crimes.

We cannot apply our modern life experience to look at an ancient society where order is gradually collapsing.

The underlying tone of Daqian is that people were born in troubled times and everyone was trying to survive.

The same is true for Gu Wen, except that he is on the right path.

Hu Sanyuan's home is easy to spot near the gambling house, with bright lights and two stone lions standing at the door.

It was built to the specifications of a high-ranking official in the imperial court. It was supposed to be the residence of a high-ranking official, but he probably fell in the power struggle and was either dead or exiled. This was also how Gu Wen's residence came to be. Decades ago, merchants could not afford to live in such a good house, but on the first day he moved in, he demolished the facade that originally belonged to the rich and powerful.

I don’t know whether Hu Sanyuan is reckless or stupid, or whether the social hierarchy has collapsed to such an extent.

Gu Wen could only sigh that Daqian was about to end.

He turned over and entered the yard. He heard footsteps in the front. The Blue Eye Water Wave Beads had special powers in the rain or in the water. With its help, Gu Wen could tell that there were two people there from dozens of meters away. Their steps were heavy and they must be the guards.

Gu Wen did not dodge, but walked quickly with the wooden stick in hand. His ears and eyes were sharp, and his blue eyes were shining. The drizzle fell on the wooden stick and turned it into a gun tip with dark red energy attached to it.

A hundred steps, fifty steps, twenty. ten. one!

They met at the corner, a bullet pierced his neck, his skin and clothes were tangled together, blood spurted out, and the lantern in his hand fell to the ground.

The gun head swung, tearing the skin and blood vessels, and pierced into another person's chest. The person's mouth opened wide, but Gu Wen held it and whispered, "Don't breathe, your lungs are broken, and breathing will only make you die faster."

The nurse opened his eyes wide, fear filling his eye sockets, but his internal organs were shaken by the strong energy and he died on the spot with his eyes still open.

The lantern that fell to the ground gradually went out in the drizzle in just three seconds.

Two strong men died instantly on the spot.

If you want to know the master's morality, you must know the morality of your subordinates. Hu Sanyuan, a moneylender and pawnshop owner, is a gangster. How can his subordinates be innocent?

In this cannibalistic age, killing is normal, and being killed is also normal.

Gu Wen didn't even have the slightest emotion, it was only joy, the joy of having the power in his own hands.

In the past, he could not imagine himself killing two people in three seconds. This only existed among the martial arts masters in the world.

Gu Wen stood up and shook off the blood on his hands. He glanced at the already twisted spear head and thought to himself, "The water-controlling and transforming hardness of the Blue Eye Water Bead is limited, but it is convenient to carry. I still have to find a handy weapon in the future."

The real purpose of the Blue Eyed Water Wave Beads is to provide perception blessing and accelerate spiritual practice in places with abundant water sources.

Continue forward, pass the wing rooms, and head straight to the main house.

The small houses in Bianjing were of all kinds, but the layouts of the mansions of high-ranking officials were mostly similar.

On rainy nights, there were few people patrolling. Gu Wen could still hear the sound of finger-guessing games as he passed by a room where the guards lived.

The house was brightly lit with candles at midnight.

Gu Wen arrived at the door and saw that the rain had intensified, with the sound of drops becoming clearer and louder.

There was no need to hide it, he had never intended to be a thief. One should not become arrogant when one has power, but one should not completely ignore one's own abilities.

Bang!
The door was kicked open, the heavy rain covered up the sound, the candle in the house was blown out by the wind, and two pairs of eyes shot straight at him in the darkness.

call out!
A flying knife came from the darkness. When Gu Wen came in, a layer of water curtain had already condensed. The flying knife was directly deflected by the mucous membrane on the surface and stabbed into the beam of the house.

A hole was cut in the water curtain, and its defense against sharp weapons was still worrying.

Gu Wen's eyes sparkled, his gaze piercing through the darkness. Hu Sanyuan was tied up and sitting on a chair, with a rag stuffed in his mouth, his back facing the bed.

Seeing Gu Wen's desperate eyes revealed joy.

On the bed, a man and a woman were having fun. Gu Wen was not interested in the specific scene. He felt the mana coming from the man. A person who entered the world met someone else.

The man also noticed Gu Wen, but did not take action immediately. Instead, he covered the woman with a blanket and soothed her in an unusually gentle voice until she fell unconscious, saying, "Don't be afraid, my lady. It's just a guest. I can entertain him or her."

"Um!!!"

Hu Sanyuan wailed, but because his mouth was blocked, he could not hear the sound of the rain outside no matter how hard he tried.

That's my wife!

"This fellow is vicious by nature. He found a good wife in this chaotic world, but he didn't know how to cherish her. He beat and scolded her day and night. I had a good chat with my wife, so I took her in. He saw me and had no choice but to tie her up. If you want to seek justice, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place."

The mysterious man got up from the bed, and just as he finished speaking, a cold light appeared. The flying knife between his fingertips tried to bounce away, but was shaken away by the external force.

He could have dodged it, but instead he stepped forward to protect the woman behind him.

The tip of the gun touched his eyebrow, but no blood spurted out, but a golden light shattered.

Gu Wen took two steps back, feeling suspicious and suspecting that the other party had some kind of treasure.

But he did not intend to retreat. Since he was here to rob other gangs, he would fight them if he met a fellow gangster. Even if he was attacked first, he could still use it as self-defense.

Another shot was fired, and the mysterious man was thrown against the wall. He wanted to block it, but he didn't expect Gu Wen's strength to be so abnormal. He had seen the power of a gun before, and he could just pay attention to it, but the power was not something that could be avoided by paying attention.

The mysterious man rolled over and opened his hand. A silver spear appeared out of thin air and deflected Gu Wen's attack.

Bang!
When the two collide, sparks light up the moment.

The Xuanming spear technique used by Gu Wen was vigorous and powerful, emphasizing the idea of ​​overcoming skill with force. The mysterious man, on the contrary, was agile and had many moves. The texture of his silver spear was sometimes soft and sometimes hard, and it trembled when it stabbed out like a silver snake coming out of a hole.

The opponent is also an expert with guns, and the weapon in his hand should be a magical treasure.

But it's far worse than mine.

The first level of Tao foundation!
The second level of Tao foundation!

Xuanming outer power!

The magic power in Gu Wen's body surged, and the peak of his spear energy vibrated. He stabbed out with a spear, bringing with it a wave of wind. The mysterious man hurriedly dodged, but the stab failed and the spear swept across.

Bang!
The mysterious man flew out, the doors and windows shattered like paper, and there was a loud thunder in the sky.

After rolling three times, he stood up like a macaque and stabilized his body. The mysterious man spat out a mouthful of blood and praised: "What a spear power, what a spear skill. He Huan, the tenth on the Human List, White Saint, may I know your name?"

At this time, Gu Wen was wearing a hat to cover his face, holding a spear covered with a dark red outer aura, and slowly stepped into the rain.

He used his magical power to make his voice low and hoarse, and there were lightning, thunder, and heavy rain.

"I am not on the list of Heaven, Earth and Man."

People live their lives for fame, to become kings, generals, heroes of all ages, the highest pursuit of most people is probably to leave their names in history.

When will you become number one on the human list and the top on the earth list?
There were whispers in his ears, just like the fairy that descended from the Dragon Bridge that day. He longed for her detachment from the world, her supremacy over the imperial power, her strength, her status.

The three lists of heaven, earth and man are good things.

Besides immortality, it is also about determining the superiority and inferiority of all things in the world.

It's not that Gu Wen doesn't like fame, he's also a vulgar person. It's fear, fear that his virtues don't match his position, it's his originally weak body and his status as a servant, everything is like a shackle that makes him breathless.

He originally thought that he didn't care, but when he saw that this person who seemed to be inferior to him could also rank tenth on the human list, he couldn't suppress the thoughts in his heart.

First on the human list, top on the earth list.

He clenched the spear in his hand again and again, as if he could feel the rekindling of his master's dormant spirit. The dark red spear energy burned fiercely like fire. His quadruple spear energy that surpassed the original Xuanming Spear was restless, and the Qi Hai Jade Sword resonated with it.

He understands the meaning of sword, so he can naturally understand the meaning of gun.

Learn one and gain ten thousand. The fifth level of Xuanming Spear and the meaning of Xuanming Spear will come naturally!

"So what's your name, fellow Taoist?"

He Huan stood with a gun in his hand. He felt the fighting spirit that was like a tsunami. Although he didn't know why the other party was so excited, like a wild beast that had escaped from its cage, he was probably a martial arts fanatic.

But he knew he had to do his best, both to respect the strong and to respect his own life.

"I came from the mortal world, to seek immortality, I am a mortal."

"I am a disciple of the Yin Yang Qi Sect, and my Taoist name is Bai Sheng. Please teach me."

Boom!

The two figures were faster than the lightning and flashed past it in an instant, even if they just brushed past each other they were still deadly.
