The chivalrous spirit is fickle

"Silly girl, don't even think about it. That man just now was the leader of Xuanming Division. Why are you competing with him?"

Su Xue was startled when she heard this, and then she looked stunned, and almost stood up in shock. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and tried to stabilize her expression. She lowered her voice and asked Shi Gu.

“Master…are you saying that the person who just cut someone is the leader of Xuanming Division?!”

Shi Gu nodded nonchalantly and spoke softly while eating dog meat.

"Yes, he is the leader of Xuanming Division, Xuandao Su Xun."

Hearing Shi Gu's affirmative answer, Su Xue couldn't hide her surprise and said in confusion.

"How is it possible? He is just cutting dog meat in the store like this? He is the leader of a sect."

Upon hearing this, Shi Gu raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled slightly, and shook his head.

"Su Xun likes two things the most in his life: eating dog meat and cooking dog meat."

"He, the sect leader, has been hanging around in his own sect's shop all year round, working as a butcher. Others think he's weird, but he thinks it's the most interesting thing in the world."

Shi Gu seemed to remember something. He picked up a piece of meat but did not put it into his mouth immediately. He spoke in a low voice with a dazed look in his eyes.

"This is how the world is. What others consider insignificant may be the most precious treasure in the world to you."

"And you treat the things they treasure as if they were your own treasure."

"So, some truths will never make sense. Just live your life well."

Su Xue seemed to be thinking about something, while Shen Yue, who was standing beside her, ate a piece of meat and looked at Shi Gu and said.

"Master, you sometimes say strange things."

Shi Gu responded with a smile and said nothing more. Su Xue finally started to pick up her chopsticks. The portion of the fried dog meat was large, but it was still not enough for Shen Yue.

Shen Yue watched as the dog meat on her plate became less and less, so she turned her attention to the meat on the bone-free plate. She coughed lightly, and naturally stretched her chopsticks into the bone-free plate, asking deliberately.

"Master, are you acquainted with the leader of the Xuanming Division? I see that you know him very well."

Shi Gu looked at Shen Yue's little movements and couldn't help rolling his eyes. He picked up the plate and gave half of the meat to Shen Yue. Shen Yue immediately smiled and forgot the question he had asked.

"Su Xun and I are very familiar with each other, and he is the only sect leader among the five major sects who is to my liking. It's just that I tricked him once before, so I am too embarrassed to take off my human skin mask to meet him."

While eating dog meat, Shen Yue spoke to Shi Gu in a very perfunctory manner.

"Master, how did you trick him? Did you spy on him while he was taking a bath?"

Shi Gu recalled the past, smacked his lips and said.

"Back then, I killed a dog and asked Su Xun to help me cook it into cooked meat. The dog tasted really good."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue stuck out her tongue and said indifferently.

"What a scam! Master, when did you become so sensitive? I'll call that Su Xun over here so that you two can reunite."

"Maybe if Su Xun is happy, he will give us a free meal and give us some more dog meat."

As she spoke, Shen Yue had already stood up. Just as she was about to wave to Su Xun, she heard Shi Gu speaking slowly.

"The owner of that dog is Fang Jue, the current leader of the Demon Cult."

With a click, Shen Yue sat back down, her forehead covered with sweat. Su Xue beside her also widened her eyes and looked at Shi Gu with a strange expression.

The Demon Cult's leader Fang Jue is the best at the ninth level of martial arts in the world today. He is invincible in his realm and the strongest among the five major sects.

After a moment's silence, Su Xue asked Shi Gu with a strange look on her face.

"Master...have you done too much harm?"

Compared to the tactful Su Xue, Shen Yue, who was always like a silly roe deer, asked Shi Gu directly.

"Master, how did you survive until now without being beaten to death?"

"Can you teach me?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Gu carefully explained to Su Xue and Shen Yue.

"I didn't want to do that, but the black dog kept hanging around in front of me, completely defenseless, tempting me to do it to him."

"The most important thing about dog meat is that it has three colors: black, white, spotted and yellow. If a big black dog meat is walking around in front of you every day, don't you want to eat it?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue and Su Xue immediately shook their heads.

"No, no, no, we don't want to offend the Demon Cult leader Fang Zuan just to eat some dog meat."

"Master, although I look stupid, I am not really stupid."

Upon hearing this, Shi Gu argued with reason.

"Fang Jue raised the black dog so big because he wanted to fatten it up and eat it."

"Why can she eat it, but I can't?"

Shen Yue tapped the dishes with her chopsticks and asked.

"Master, is there such a possibility? I mean possible."

"That dog originally belonged to someone else."

Chapter 32: The Great Demon Comes into the Dream (I)

After eating dog meat, Shi Gu took Shen Yue for a stroll in the city, but they unexpectedly learned some bad news.

"What? This martial arts conference actually has competitions like music, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

A warrior yelled at the top of his voice at the registration desk of the martial arts conference, while Shi Gu and the other two standing nearby also had unfriendly expressions as they stared at the warrior in charge of the registration.

The warrior in charge of registration was a fat man in a blue shirt. He looked quite lazy and was almost about to doze off in his seat.

For the first time in history, there was an unnecessary qualification competition at this martial arts conference, and the content of the competition was even more bizarre, including music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Anyone who wishes to qualify to participate in the Wu Dian Conference must choose one of the four disciplines of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting to compete with others. A maximum of one hundred people can qualify for each discipline.

Isn't this bullshit? Asking heroes in the martial arts world to write poetry and prose doesn't sound like a serious competition. Competitions in the martial arts world should be gentle competitions where I cut you with a knife and you stab me with a sword, leaving behind a blood feud.

What the hell are the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting?

The fat man in charge of registration yawned and spoke perfunctorily to the person in front of him.

"All rights of interpretation belong to the organizer. If you are unhappy, you can go and cause trouble for the five major sects."

Hearing this, the man immediately stopped, scratched his head, and was speechless.

The fat man glanced at the man in front of him, raised his eyebrows, and said arrogantly.

"The rules of the five major sects are rules. No one can be an exception. Even if you are a dragon crossing the river, you have to obey me."

"You can come to this martial arts conference if you want."

The man's face turned red after being ridiculed by the fat man, but he couldn't think of any words to refute. He could only stomp his feet and turn away.

Seeing this, Shi Gu frowned, turned his head to look at his two disciples, then shook his head repeatedly. He walked up to the fat man and asked.

"Do we have to participate in this qualification test?"

The fat man was still lazy, and he didn't even look at Shi Gu, and said perfunctorily.

"Yes, no one is exempted. Even the disciples from the five major sects must participate in the competition obediently."

"Why?" Shi Gu was puzzled, while the fat man was already a little impatient and waved his hand.

"Go away. I'm not standing here to answer your questions."

Shi Gu had a good temper and asked again very politely.

"I'm sorry, I just want to ask something clearly. Please help me clear it up."

The fat man sneered and looked at Shi Gu with a sidelong glance, with a slightly mocking expression.

"Are you stupid? You ask others questions without giving them any benefits, and you still expect them to answer your questions?"

Shi Gu suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this, and then punched the fat man in the face. He held the fat man's head, raised his fist again, and asked.

"enough?"

The fat man was a little dazed by the punch. After he reacted, he became furious. He struggled hard and wanted to fight back, but was punched again by Shi Gu.

After two punches, the fat man's face was bruised and swollen, but he was still unconvinced and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Do you know who I am? I am a disciple of the Yulin League! If you don't want to die, let go!"

Just as he finished speaking, the fat man was punched in the face again. At this time, the other disciples of the five major sects had also noticed it, and they hurried over, picking up their weapons angrily.

Although the five major sects had made an agreement not to seek revenge during the Martial Arts Conference, now that the other party was looking for trouble first, would the five major sects just be bullied without fighting back?

Shi Gu grabbed the fat man by the collar, thought about it seriously, looked at the disciples from the five major sects who surrounded him, and then said to the fat man.

"Do you know who I am?"

Without waiting for the fat man to answer, Shi Gu took off his human skin mask, revealing his original face, and said lightly.

"I am Qingcheng Shigu."

Upon hearing this, the disciples from the five major sects paused and did not move forward. Instead, their expressions changed drastically and they turned around and left.

Are you kidding? The man in front of me is the most courageous person in the world. He is sinister, mean, and petty to the extreme. If he offends other big shots, the worst that can happen is death. But if he offends this scoundrel, I'm afraid even his ancestral graves and his wife at home will be targeted.

"Qingcheng... Release the bones."

After the fat man repeated Shi Gu's name, his face instantly turned pale. Thinking of the evil things that Shi Gu was rumored to have done, he was so scared that his bones went soft.

Kicking widows' doors and dissecting graves of families with no descendants, it seemed that there was nothing Shigu wouldn't do. What's more terrible was that it was rumored that Shigu was a sex-hungry ghost who was addicted to sex and didn't care about beauty or ugliness, or gender.

At that time, people in the underworld said that Shigu kept a little monk by his side to vent his lust.

I really don't know whether Xiaojiu was happy that he and Shigu were actually husband and wife as rumored, or was angry that he was once again mistaken for a monk after hearing this.

I'm afraid that because I'm a fat guy, the other party won't let me go if he gets aroused.

The fat man became more and more frightened the more he thought about it. He thought his wife might become a widow, his family’s ancestral graves might be dissected, and even his own anus might be stirred up.

When the fat man thought of this, he felt desperate and was so scared that he wet his pants, and some water stains fell on the ground.

Seeing this, Shi Gu punched the fat man again, then quickly turned around and spoke to his two disciples.

"Run, someone should be on the way."

Although the five major sects would not violate the agreement and attack him, he would definitely not be able to escape a scolding. It was not that Shi Gu could not scold them, but he was worried that he would scold them too harshly and make the other party angry.

Shen Yue and Su Xue seemed to have been prepared. They turned around and left without hesitation. Shi Gu was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, pulled the fat man away, and wrote down the names of the three of them on the registration paper.

After doing all this, Shi Gu turned around and left, disappearing in the crowd.

After a long time, Shen Zhui arrived with a murderous look on his face, but there was no sign of Shi Gu. He looked at Shi Gu's name on the white paper on the table, his face full of hatred, and said in a low voice.

"Shi Gu, I must kill you!!!"

……

On the other side, after Shi Gu and the other two left the registration office, they hurried all the way, but at a street intersection, their way was blocked by a sea of ​​people.

Crackling!

The sound of firecrackers continued to be heard, and light blue smoke filled the field. Then a wedding procession was seen passing through the sea of ​​people, with two boys in the front.

The two boys had their faces painted white, their mouths stretched to the extreme, revealing a somewhat weird smile. They were both wearing red robes, holding a big money jar, and scattering copper coins on both sides of the street as they walked.

Copper coins fell like rain among the crowd, making the already crowded crowd even more crowded and making it almost impossible to move.

The small porcelain jar seemed to be filled with an endless amount of copper coins, driving passers-by crazy.

Maybe because they had followed this stingy guy Shi Gu for too long, Shen Yue and Su Xue also started picking up copper coins.

Shi Gu glanced around and his eyes fell on the unusually large sedan chair in the middle of the procession.

The bridal sedan was very large, a true eight-man sedan. The people carrying the sedan also had their faces painted white and their mouths stretched to the limit, but their walking movements were a little stiff, as if the joints of their legs were as hard as stones.

Shi Gu narrowed his eyes. From what he perceived, there was no sign of life in the sedan chair. Instead, it was filled with the air of death and a strong smell of decay, like a piece of rotten meat soaked in water.

After a moment, Shi Gu withdrew his gaze and looked up at the sky, only to find that a dark cloud had covered the sun since he did not know when.

The sky was azure blue. Apart from that cloud, it seemed cloudless. But why did that cloud happen to block the sun?

Shi Gu suddenly felt a chill, and just then the two boys scattered a rain of copper coins again. Shi Gu stretched out his hand and pinched a copper coin between his fingers.

The next moment, murderous aura wrapped around Shi Gu's fingers. Under the impact of the murderous aura, the copper coin collapsed and turned into a piece of white paper money.
