Under One Person: Did Zuo Ruotong and I switch bodies?

The next instant.

Mingchen activated his "Heavenly Eye".

Several murderous auras rose from ahead, but gradually faded.

"You're scared already?"

He moved swiftly and rushed forward, immediately followed by a gunshot...

boom!

Turn around!

An unseen force emerged, forcibly deflecting the bullet's trajectory, causing it to graz his cheek...

"That was close!"

Fortunately, he was prepared for the fact that the Republic of China had guns and remained on high alert.

Click!

"Want to load more bullets?"

Hearing the sound of the bolt being pulled back, Ming Chen instantly locked onto his opponent, flashed in front of him, snapped the gun barrel in half, and then slapped him across the face...

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, the man fell to the ground.

Then he moved again, intercepting the few people who were trying to escape, knocking them all down with a slap each, leaving only one person behind, whom he bound with a reverse eight-directional restraint technique...

"Tell me, who are you?"

His eyes sharpened.

After three years of using the "Heavenly Eye" for deduction and three years of cultivation, Mingchen's ability to reverse the eight directions has already reached the level of "human magnetism." Although the Left Sect Master needs to start over, it will not take another three years...

This already foreshadowed the situation.

Only then did he have time to observe these men; they were all rough-looking men, and just ordinary people.

"Ordinary people?"

"Wait, can ordinary people own guns?"

Ming Chen's eyes flickered as he looked at the rifle broken in two. If he wasn't mistaken... it seemed to be a "Hanyang Rifle".

"Isn't this a military gun?"

Before he could ask any more questions, the bound man screamed in terror, "Gods, spare me! Gods, spare me! They forced me here! Don't kill me! Spare my life!"

"Oh?"

Ming Chen raised an eyebrow, turned to look at him, a glint in his eyes confirming that he wasn't lying: "Then tell me, who are you, and who are the 'them' you're talking about?"

"I...I'm a thug at a gambling den in Yichun County. The county has been taken over by a gang of bandits. They're not only robbing and killing people, but they're also forcing us to join them and rob people!"

  Remember us, 101kanshu.com

Unable to move his body, he could only gesture with his mouth towards the man who had fired the gun earlier: "That man, and the one who shot the arrow at the carriage, they're their men. If we don't do it, we'll die on the spot!"

"What about the others?"

Ming Chen counted them; besides the two people, there were six people present, including the man.

"They're all like me!"

"Um……"

After observing carefully for a moment and seeing that the man was not lying, Mingchen untied his restraints and walked towards the one who had fired the shot.

Fortunately, he had a flash of inspiration and slapped these people unconscious, thus not only keeping them alive but also avoiding accidentally killing ordinary civilians.

clap clap!

"Hey, wake up."

He patted the man's cheek and channeled a stream of Qi into his brain, instantly waking him up.

"ah?!"

Ming Chen smiled slightly, but it was somewhat chilling: "Don't be nervous. As long as you tell the truth, I'll spare your life."

Asking the bandits was clearly more efficient than questioning the coerced county residents, so he immediately asked, "Speak! Where are you from? Why are you occupying the county town? Who is your leader?"

He raised his palm, making a chopstick motion.

"Gulp..."

Recalling the scene of the spear being broken by a single blow, the bandit swallowed hard, a look of terror on his face: "I...I said...Uh?!"

Before he could even open his mouth, his eyes suddenly widened, and he clutched his neck in pain…

puff--

He spat out a mouthful of blood!

"This is?!"

When Mingchen realized what had happened, the person had already died. He immediately raised his hand to check the body and quickly discovered the clues.

"It's witchcraft..."

"Used to prevent leaks."

In other words, there were shamans among the bandits who occupied Yichun County, who might be plotting something, and this occupation was carried out in secrecy...

"Otherwise, given how close it is, there would be a reason why there was no news from Longhu Mountain."

As Mingchen was pondering, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw that the man who had been freed from his restraints had run away in a panic.

Swish!

He dodged and blocked it.

"The bandits are all dead, why are you still running?"

"If we don't run now, it'll be too late! That monster is coming!"

"What?"

Mingchen frowned, then sensed something. He turned his head sharply and saw a floating black shadow rushing towards him from the other side of the mountain, arriving in an instant...

"It's a ghost!"

The shadowy figure was almost humanoid, with facial features, but its face was obscured. It was surrounded by yin energy and fierce, malevolent energy, making it the soul of a vengeful ghost.

"The one who can command vengeful spirits is no ordinary shaman... could it be a Liangshan shaman?"

The shamanic tradition has several branches, such as "Nuo," which cultivates divine status, and "Shaman," which worships immortals. The one that can raise and exorcise ghosts is "Xi," which has lived in Liangshan, Sichuan for thousands of years.

"Judging from this sinister aura, this vengeful ghost has killed quite a few people. No wonder you're afraid," Ming Chen said, patting the man's shoulder with a relaxed expression.

"Don't worry, it's alright..."

"Hehe, found it!"

Just as he was about to make his move, a laugh suddenly rang out, and a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old darted out from the nearby woods and headed towards the ghost.

"what?"

Ming Chen's eyes narrowed as he noticed that the young man was surrounded by the same Yin Qi as a ghost, seemingly a method of concealment.

"No wonder I didn't notice..."

If he had used his "Heavenly Eye" to see from the beginning, he would have been able to see it. However, everything happened in the blink of an eye, and his attention was focused on these people, so he overlooked it.

"I need to be more careful in the future."

Wandering the martial world is always dangerous, let alone the martial world of the chaotic Republican era...

Mingchen felt a chill run down his spine and began to observe.

The suddenly appearing youth's target was clearly the vengeful ghost. He simply raised his hand and silently chanted, and strands of pitch-black yin energy transformed into extremely fine threads, binding the vengeful ghost...

"Give it to me!"

Then, with a swift movement, the silk thread instantly brought the vengeful ghost back. He then took out a pitch-black cloth bag, jumped up, and slammed it over his head, trapping the ghost inside.

"Got you!"

Looking at the bulging bag in his hand, the boy grinned, carefully tucked it into his pocket, and then looked at Ming Chen: "Brother, thank you for bringing it here!"

"Hey buddy?"

Ming Chen was taken aback. He looked down at his attire and his Qi-transformed body, confirming that there was nothing wrong with it...

"This kid doesn't know Chief Zuo?"

However, judging from his age, he is probably a novice, which makes sense.

Seeing that he didn't respond, the young man ran over in a few steps, smiling and cupping his hands in greeting: "My name is Feng Tianyang, from Liangshan. May I ask your name, sir?"

"Fengtianyang?"

Mingchen's eyes flickered.

For him, this person was truly a very famous person.

He was not only one of the Thirty-Six Thieves of the future, but also mastered the extraordinary skill of "Binding Spirits and Commanding Generals", and led the Liangshan Feng family to rise to prominence.

"To think we'd meet here... what a coincidence." He thought to himself, and immediately cupped his hands in greeting.

"Trinity Gate..."

"Mingchen".

He smiled calmly.
