Chapter 225 White Dragon Temple

Jianjia was a criminal on the list, and the nine gates were heavily guarded so she couldn't enter the city, let alone fly in front of the emperor in public. The two of them had no choice but to race around the outer city walls, going from the south to the north and then to the west. It was already midnight when they arrived at the Bailong Temple.

But it was also good at this point. The mortals were still drowsy, and the monks were also practicing dual cultivation, so their vigilance was the most relaxed. Only a few monks got up to chant scriptures and do morning lessons. Tiedan also took the opportunity to enter the temple, and after smelling and calculating for a while, he really found it.

The foreign monk was also very conspicuous, wearing a black robe, with curly beard, nine feet tall, and a thin body, like a standing bamboo pole. He was very conspicuous among the hunchbacked old monks. After washing up in the temple's Qingtan, he returned to his own house alone, just in time to be alone.

The two looked at each other. They had cooperated many times before, and Tiedan's eyes were very easy to recognize. Jianjia understood that he wanted her to fire first. This woman was not good at anything, but she was very skillful when it came to fighting. She drew her bow and fired a golden bullet without hesitation. Bang, it was like a meteor shooting at the moon, and it hit the monk's head directly.

Then there was a crisp "bang" sound, and a piece of the back of the monk's head collapsed, and his head was bleeding and his brain burst. He fell to the ground without a sound.

The two were silent for a while, and Jianjia gave a look to indicate what to do.

Tiedan said he was not in a hurry and just watched him act.

Then after waiting for a while, a faint voice was heard.

Reeds indicate that someone is coming.

Tiedan said he would continue.

Just go up

So Jianjia changed her bow to a sword, pinched a hand to make herself invisible, and tiptoed towards the corpse of the Hu monk. When she was ten steps away from the giant's body, she suddenly took a deep breath and shouted softly, and with a flick of her hand, she chopped off the Hu monk's head.

succeed!

Jianjia was delighted, threw the nine-section whip and rolled the head over, picked it up in her hand, and turned to leave. When she turned around, she saw Tiedan following behind her silently, like a shadow, and she was so frightened that she almost jumped out.

Tiedan just frowned and stared at the monk's head, but couldn't see any flaws.

At this moment, the sound of people was getting closer, and it was not convenient to destroy the body. So the two of them wrapped the head in a bundle, flew over the wall and ran away, leaving the White Dragon Temple and running straight to the alley in front of Xiyong Gate.

Suddenly Tiedan felt something was wrong.
"Wait, there's no blood, look."

Hearing Tiedan calling from behind, Jianjia opened the bundle and took a look.

It's actually a piece of wood!

Jianjia pried the bullet out of the wood and couldn't help frowning. Did it really hit the target?
"Illusion?"

"Oh, what a demon monk..."

Tiedan swung his sword and split the wood in half, turning it into ashes. Then he turned around and walked away.

"What are you going to do?"

"It's still early! If you miss the first strike, try again!"

So the two of them hurried away, flying like a kite, climbing over the wall and passing through the door the same way they came.

The foreign monk was indeed not dead. Not only was his body missing, but he was now meditating in the monastery as if nothing had happened.

This time it was Tiedan's turn. He was not ambiguous either. He broke through the window! He flew up and stabbed the monk's forehead with his sword!

The Hu monk was also a decisive man. He died without saying a word after being stabbed by the sword.

Tiedan was careful this time, and with a flick of his wrist, he chopped the body into pieces. Then he dug out the boss's heart and held it in his hand, to prevent him from reviving with his magic, and then he swung his sword to destroy the body and all traces.

Then the two of them ran out of the door again, and after walking a few dozen steps outside the temple, Tiedan stopped again.

"Made!"

Jianjia looked over in the direction of the voice, only to see that the flesh and blood in his hand had turned into mud.

"What kind of magic is this? How about..."

Tiedan had a cold face.
"Okay, you want to play with me, right? I'll play with you!"

Tiedan turned and left, this time he didn't hide or pretend, he just rushed into the temple. A novice monk who got up early to fetch water blocked his way, and before he could see the man clearly, he kicked him into the flower bed. He screamed in pain.

If it hurts, it's not an illusion...

This time, Tiedan was on the safe side and did not step into the monk's house. He stood outside the door and threw the Bifang fan out.

The fan also understood, and without being told, it glowed and blossomed. After a dazzling burst of light and shadow effects, the fan turned and turned into a sparrow wrapped in green flames. Yes, it was a firebird condensed from the Green Evil Sword Fire.

After all, Tiedan doesn’t have much Qi to refine the magic weapon now, so he’ll just have to make do with it!

Small as it is, the sparrow has all the organs! The green bird chirped! It roared furiously! It rushed into the monk's house like a madman, fanning the fire and setting it ablaze! The entire row of houses was immediately set on fire!
"It's water! It's water!"

“Fight the fire, put out the fire!”

The monks of the White Dragon Temple screamed and became confused.

The idlers were driven away and the Hu monk was trapped in a circle of fire. Tiedan also stood in front of the door, leaning the Xuanwu sword in front of him, with the broken sword aura lingering on the blade like a coiled dragon or snake.

"come out!"

"Good, good. Why do you persist in your mistake?"

This time the Hu monk could no longer pretend, and he stepped out. When he looked through the door, it was probably because the remaining strength from the last time he was burned by the sword fire had not dissipated. At this moment, he was wrapped in the green evil flames, and his flesh and blood had been burned away by the Taoist flames, leaving only a flaming skeleton. But the strange thing was that the black Zen robe was still on his body, and he was not afraid of the burning of the green evil sword fire!
"Death!"

Tiedan leaped over the stream like a white tiger, and chopped with his hand! With one sword strike, he chopped the monk's sword in two! Clean and neat!

Then the monk was also split into two parts cleanly, but as soon as the body fell to the ground, in the blink of an eye, it reassembled into a human form! And flesh and blood revived! He became a living person with bones and blood intact! Not even a strand of curly beard was lost!
However, the Green Evil Sword fire was still entwined around him, like a winding green snake. Once it bit the exposed skin and flesh of the monk, it would immediately burn the bones and flesh into charcoal. It was clear that the sword's power was still there.

The opponent also had no way to break the sword fire, but Tiedan still didn't know what tricks the Hu monk used to bring him back to life instantly, nor did he know what kind of magic weapon the black robe was that could temporarily block the sword fire tempered by the Tiancan sword qi.

But it doesn't matter! It depends on how many times you can be resurrected!
He flew forward and stabbed with his sword! The Xuanwu Sword pierced through his left eye and penetrated his brain!
"The appearance of death and life is not the appearance of all life, donor, you are attached to appearances."

resurrection!

"You big-headed ghost! Die!"

kill!

"Death and life are like this, and their regularity of night and morning is heaven's will."

Resurrection again!
"Stop talking nonsense! Grandpa told you to die at three o'clock! Who dares to keep you until five o'clock?"

Kill kill kill!

Tiedan turbocharged, the sword light flashed, flying all over the sky, jumping and stabbing, using all his skills, hundreds of sword skills, a black tortoise sword danced as fast as light and shadow, as wild as thunder! Move like wind and thunder!

The Hu monk was resurrected and then died, resurrected and then died, he was chopped to pieces and a river of blood flowed!
But that Hu monk was really awesome. No matter how he was killed, he would stand up instantly. No matter how he was chopped to death and almost burned to ashes, he could be resurrected on the spot!

Even the black robe was clearly a rare item, but it shattered in a single sweep by the Tiancan Sword's wind, unable to resist at all. It was so fragile that it seemed like just an ordinary monk's robe. But no matter what, it was able to recover along with the Hu monk, so it was definitely not a magic weapon in the normal sense.

What’s even more infuriating is that the Hu monk didn’t even make a move. He just stood there and let you kill him but you can’t hurt me, just playing with me.

This really pissed Tiedan off! Great! Someone in the world actually challenged his expertise! He was courting death! There was no one in this world that could not be killed by a sword!

Tiedan also confronted the opponent at that moment. He simply opened his mouth and inhaled, and the sword fire was retracted. He stood face to face with the Hu monk, and the Tiancan sword energy lingered on the tip of the sword. As soon as the Hu monk stood up, he stabbed him in the heart with the sword. As soon as he stood up, he stabbed him in the heart with the sword. He didn't even have a chance to speak. He would be stabbed to death with the sword. Let's see who can't hold on first!

Jianjia couldn't hold on any longer...

"Snapped!"

A golden bullet shot close to his ear and was shattered by Tiedan's backhand sword, but it also interrupted his sword dance.

"Jinwu Guards! Don't leave yet!"

Tiedan was still murderous, but he knew the opportunity was lost. Seeing that the Hu monk had resurrected, he swung his sword and cut off his limbs, then kicked him into the fire.

Then Tiedan plucked his sword and rang the gong, killing all the green evil spirits in the field. He called back the sparrow fan, and after three or two leaps and falls, he followed Jianjia and jumped out of the temple.

After all, the White Dragon Temple was an important place for accommodating monks and envoys, and it was just outside the Yong Gate. The fire was set on fire right under the eyes of the immortal soldiers guarding the city, which immediately alarmed the whole city. People from all directions came to put out the fire.

Tiedan was running out among the crowd, and asked anxiously on the way,

"You saw me kill him a few times!"

Jianjia does remember,

"Thirty-seven"

Just as he remembered.

It couldn't be an illusion, he was really killed.

That’s right, whether the person being killed is a human or a ghost, even if Tiedan can’t tell, the sword in his hand knows it.

This "my sword" is not just about killing once every seven days. If I don't kill for one day, I will be anxious. On the seventh day, I can't bear it at all. I really don't recognize any relatives. I want to kill any living thing with my sword when I see it.

Tiedan thought he could hold on before, but actually he couldn’t. His personality was really twisted. He became bloodthirsty and aggressive, with cold-blooded murderous intent, which seemed to be imprinted in his heart along with the pent-up fire in his heart.

It seems that this time, taking a bath with two women all day long really suffocated him.

Anyway, if I could quench my sword's thirst by swinging at the illusion, that would be easy. So it must not be an illusion.

Well, this Hu monk can really quench your thirst. And you know what, it's quite satisfying to kill him.

Every time he killed this guy with a sword, Tiedan felt a huge joy from the bottom of his heart. There was a sense of accomplishment like catching a fish, it was so easy to kill and so satisfying, so much so that he was so obsessed with killing that he had to stab him to death...

But what on earth is this guy? He must not be human, right? He survived 37 attempts? What kind of magical effect is this? Magical weapon? Secret technique? Occult?
And if you think about it carefully, the opponent can't defend against the Tiancan Sword Qi and Qingsha Sword Fire at all. They can completely penetrate the armor and defense. If you are hit, you will die. There is no countermeasure. If Tiedan hadn't taken back the sword fire and hid his whereabouts, he could have been resurrected and burned until he died. So this is not a problem of his lack of attack power.

Maybe we can’t kill them all, or maybe they just have too many lives?
Tiedan was confused for a moment, so he and Jianjia decided to escape from the fire scene.

Fortunately, the White Dragon Temple is not a place with any important mechanisms. Although the Green Evil Fire looks fierce, it is actually only the size of a sparrow due to its insufficient inherent firepower. Later, the sword fire was controlled and taken back by Tiedan, so it did not cause much loss of life or property.

The Jinwu Guards pretended to use the Jade Purifying Bottle to create rain, which was considered to have put out the fire. They arrested a few bystanders as arsonists and extorted some gold and silver, and the case was closed. However, when the victim of the White Dragon Temple, the great traitor Shi Jiao's messenger from the Kan Kingdom, the Hu monk Daojia, jumped out to complain, the matter became serious.

At first glance, the burning of Bailong Temple seemed to have caused much less damage than the burning of Huguo Temple. No one was killed and only a few monks' dormitories were destroyed, but the nature of the damage was completely different.

After all, the two armies would not kill the envoys when fighting. Sanyuan had not yet decided whether to suppress or appease Zhongshan Gong, but some forces actually acted privately, assassinated envoys, killed people and set fires, and even did things right at the foot of the imperial city, right under his nose?

This is not a slap on the butt of the Hu monk! It is a slap on the face of the imperial court!

Tiedan added fuel to the fire, and the most direct consequence was that Taiweiyuan was forced to pass an emergency resolution that day, appointing a new Inspector of the Capital to thoroughly investigate the public security of the imperial capital and be responsible for arresting the recent criminals.

Well, when someone comes out to take the blame, no one will compete for the position.

However, the Immortal Palace is rich, so how could it lack people who can do things? It’s just that good, easy and simple things usually don’t happen to them.

So the Sili Lieutenant who was named to take the blame also took up his post. This man was quite capable and acted decisively. As soon as he took office, he issued a ban and enforced the law. That night, he mobilized personnel to assign defense zones, closed the gates of the outer city, imposed a curfew, and sent the Jinwu Guards to patrol the streets with five-colored sticks. If they saw anyone violating the ban and going out on the streets, they would beat them with the sticks and lock them up in jail. The minimum detention period was 15 days, and the minimum fine was 300,000 yuan.

And this guy is serious. He even dares to capture and beat the relatives of the eunuchs in the palace!
Everyone was feeling threatened, and the travelers did not dare to go out for a drink. They could only stay in the inn and chat.

So the plan to fish in troubled waters had to be put on hold. Jianjia was still practicing the eunuch's magic skills in the house, and Tiedan was still drinking in the inn.

Although the Hu monk could not be dealt with for the time being, the assassination had already caused a violent reaction in the Immortal Palace, and the purpose had been achieved.

Then he continued to listen to passers-by's nonsense and randomly named the next victim.

"This must have been done by someone from the Demon Sect!"

As expected, once the political situation became turbulent, rumors began to spread among the people. At that moment, a group of people who looked like scholars were talking loudly in the tavern.

"Isn't the general trend of the world clear now? The Demon Sect is forcing the imperial army to leave the capital and fight with the rebels of Kan Kingdom for Hebei! So you can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, while looting the southern country and managing the northern plains! Stab the imperial court and the rebels in the back! So that no one can win this battle in an instant!
We want to bleed the Immortal Palace! We want to force the Three Enclosures to fight among themselves! We want to destroy the entire world!"

"No, no, the people in the Demon Sect do not have ambitions for the world. Even if they take these actions, they are just acting for the sake of profit and following the trend.

In my opinion, it was the Demon Cult that was behind it.

As you know, there was a black-clothed Zen master beside the Southern King, who was a heretic outside the three sects. The envoy sent by Shi Jiao this time was actually a Hu monk from the Western Regions.

The Western Regions are now controlled by the Demon Cult, where do all these miscellaneous cultivators come from? I think they are all undercover agents of the Demon Cult!

Nanguo and Beikan, these two major forces are internal troubles in the country. Sanyuan has been deliberately presumptuous and over-indulgent, and it is only a matter of time before the current disaster occurs.

However, envoys from the Western Regions appeared beside the princes of both sides at the same time. The cause and effect of this is extremely terrifying when you think about it carefully!"

"Hey! You can even link this to the Demon Cult. You are stretching it too far! All the cats and dogs coming from the west are from the Demon Cult, right?"

"Humph! Not everyone can join the Demonic Cult!"

"It would be more believable to say that the Buddhists were suppressed by the Demon Cult and were forced to spread eastwards, hoping to establish a presence in the Twelve Nations!"

"Why not just name all the famous forces in the world?"

"Alright, alright, don't be so alarmist. Believe in the Immortal Palace's heritage and the Three Lords' wisdom!

I think Sanyuan must be playing a big game!"

"Cut~~"

Well, even the waiter didn’t believe it, and thought that there could be no big chess game when the world was in such a mess, but Tiedan knew that just looking at the internal struggles of the human race might not give a clear picture of the whole picture.

After all, there are also demon clan forces involved, and we haven’t seen any of them yet.

Maybe this is really a big chess game of the Celestial Palace. However, the chessboard planned by the chess player has far exceeded the scope of the Twelve Kingdoms that mortals understand...

When the group of scholars were arguing, discussing the country and the world, suddenly another man rushed into the tavern, and he was dressed like those scholars.

It was still under curfew, and everyone looked at each other. The whole tavern fell silent, and the scholar could be heard shouting,

"My Lord, please submit a petition to lift the ban on party members! Ziweiyuan has approved it!"
