Chapter 94: The Great Mastery of the Sword Skills; Bloody Buddha [5k Subscription Request]

"The answer is to lure the snake out of its hole!" Lin Xuan said in a deep voice.

"Luring the snake out of its hole?"

Upon hearing this, Abbot Sanzang and Gongjin looked at each other in surprise.

Still can’t guess what Lin Xuan’s intention is?
Tang Fuyin was still puzzled and asked:
"Narullah is extremely cunning and cruel. It won't be easy to lure him out."

"Lin Xuan, what good plan do you have to lure him out?"

Lin Xuan calmly analyzed:
"The reason why Lulach was able to attack seven counties overnight was because of the monsters he had."

"Last night, I overheard a conversation between Lulach and Maja. They said that turning a person into a centaur or a goat is not something that can be done overnight. It requires the use of magic potions to maintain the process."

"Naturally, those monsters can't always maintain the sphinx form."

"This will definitely require his witchcraft to supplement it."

The words fell.

Xiaolong seemed to understand what Lin Xuan meant. He pushed his glasses aside and tried to say:
"Brother, do you want to start with those monsters?"

"good."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

From this point of view, Xiaolong's brain is quite useful.

With just a little guidance from me, he understood.

Having said this, Lin Xuan no longer pretended to be profound and told everyone his plan directly:

"Sir, according to my plan, tomorrow night we can go to a few counties under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture and create the illusion that monsters are hurting people to paralyze Narulahe."

"The monsters around him must have been scattered all over the place before. It's impossible for him to bring them with him personally."

"If not, how could it have affected seven counties overnight?"

"Once he finds out that those monsters are acting recklessly without following his orders, he will definitely come out to see for himself."

"Then we will have an opportunity."

Hear this.

Prefect Tang narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking.

After a moment, his eyes lit up and he nodded:

"This method is good."

"If we can really lure Narulah out..."

"Lin Xuan, you should be the first to achieve the credit!"

"I will also reward you with a thousand taels of silver!"

Seeing that Tang Fuyin appreciated him so much, Lin Xuan had no choice but to stand up:
"I am terrified by what the prefect said."

After making the decision, Tang Fuyin ordered Cao the captain:
"Captain Cao, go down immediately and find some skilled craftsmen to make several beast suits with human faces and lion bodies within a day."

"I humble my duty and obey my orders."

Captain Cao received the order.

After saying this, Tang Fuyin looked at Abbot Sanzang and Gongjin, and solemnly entrusted him:

"Abbot Sanzang, Master Gongjin, if Narulahe shows up, we will rely on you two to capture him."

"Don't worry, Lord Prefect. The Buddha is merciful and will not let the evildoer go unpunished. I will definitely catch this man!"

Abbot Sanzang lowered his hands and replied.

After all the instructions were given, Prefect Tang ordered the butler to send Abbot Sanzang and Gongjin down to rest.

It's time for him to get some good sleep.

I have to go to court tomorrow.

Lin Xuan, Xiaohu and Xiaolan were taken care of by Xiaolong.

……

The next day, when Lin Xuan and others woke up.

Prefect Tang has gone to attend the morning court.

After eating the breakfast brought by the servants in the mansion, Lin Xuan wanted to go find Captain Cao.

In Lin Xuan's opinion.

Captain Cao probably has never seen that monster with a human face and a sphinx body.

Even if we find a skilled craftsman, the animal suits they make may still have some discrepancies in size and style.

Since it's a play, it has to be more realistic.

After asking Xiaolong, Lin Xuan found out that Captain Cao was in a fur shop.

So, after some asking around, Lin Xuan found the fur shop.

Before he got close, Lin Xuan heard from afar the rough voice of Captain Cao arguing loudly about something.

After entering the door, he saw Captain Cao sitting in the store with an unhappy look on his face.

A shop owner who looked to be in his forties had a crying face and was somewhat timid.

"Captain Cao!"

Lin Xuan entered the store and shouted.

"Hmm? Lin Xuan, why are you here?"

Captain Cao looked up in surprise, somewhat surprised that Lin Xuan would come here.

"I'm afraid Captain Cao has never seen that monster, so it would be troublesome to find someone to make the beast harness. Come over and help." Lin Xuan said.

After hearing these words, the shopkeeper over there immediately looked up, with a look of relief on his face.

It turned out that as soon as he opened the door this morning, Captain Cao was already at the store door.

He was forced to make several sphinx suits within one day.

The store owner had never seen these before and was afraid that he would be dissatisfied, so he could only communicate more with Captain Cao.

But the more they communicated, the more confused Captain Cao became.

There are some issues that he really doesn't understand.

If you ask too many questions, he will get angry.

Although Captain Cao had learned from the wounded what the sphinx looked like, he had never actually seen it, so he only had a general idea of ​​it.

If you ask him to be more specific, he can't answer.

But Tang Fuyin was in a hurry to get it.

Captain Cao had no choice but to urge them on.

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Captain Cao's eyes lit up.

Without any hesitation, he gave the order:
"You are quite thoughtful, I am having a headache over this."

"You just happened to be here, so I'll leave this matter to you."

"I'll go find a few more craftsmen who can cut and sew the covers, and try to finish it before dark so as not to delay anything."

Say it.

Then he got up and left.

The shop owner breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the evil spirit leave.

Immediately, he smiled at Lin Xuan and said:
"Thank you, little brother."

Then he asked a series of questions:

"May I ask how big is the monster with a human face and a sphinx body that Captain Cao mentioned?"

"Does it have fangs? Is the face male or female? How thick is the fur? What does the tail club look like..."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan was startled.

This question is indeed a bit more detailed.

But if it is not done carefully, the animal suit will not be able to be mistaken for the real thing.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan had fought with this monster that night, so he naturally knew what the shopkeeper was asking.

At that moment, I gave a specific answer.

The shopkeeper, based on what Lin Xuan said, had an idea in mind, so he drew a picture and showed it to Lin Xuan.

"Yes, that's it."

Seeing this, Lin Xuan nodded and added:

"The human face can be more fierce and brutal."

"Now I understand."

After hearing this, the shop owner understood.

Without asking any more questions, he told the servant to pour Lin Xuan a cup of tea and then went to work.

Soon.

Captain Cao brought over a skilled craftsman from the city who was proficient in sewing leather to help.

The group finally managed to make three animal suits before dark.

Looking at the lifelike animal suit, Lin Xuan smiled with satisfaction:
"Good, that's it."

Seeing Lin Xuan start to praise him, Captain Cao knew that the matter was settled.

After paying the money, before leaving, he emphasized to the tailors:
"Thank you for your hard work. I will tell the prefect when I get back, and I will also remember your contribution."

"I dare not. Captain Cao is too polite."

Everyone bowed and smiled.

After a night of fermentation, these people all knew that the monster had injured people.

Although I don’t know what Kaifeng Prefecture wants these animal suits for?
But most of the time it is useful and everyone understands it.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a rush to achieve success.

……

……

"Brother Lin Xuan, I really don't know how to thank you this time. When this case is over, I will take you to Chunfeng Tower for a drink. Please remember to give me some face then."

On the way back, Captain Cao was in a very good mood.

Even the way he addressed Lin Xuan changed.

Although he is not very old, his cultivation has reached the perfection of the Qi Yuan Realm.

He is a righteous man with a pure and honest character, which is exactly what he likes.

"Brother Cao, what are you talking about?" Lin Xuan smiled straightforwardly.

Captain Cao is the right-hand man of the prefect of Kaifeng.

There is no harm in making friends with him.

"By the way, Brother Cao, do you have a sword in your house?"

Suddenly, Lin Xuan seemed to remember something and asked Captain Cao.

"Knife ring?"

Captain Cao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:
"No, but there are broadswords, long swords, broad swords, etc."

"Brother Lin, what do you want a knife for?"

"To be honest, Brother Cao, I was practicing the sword technique in Shaolin, but I forgot to bring it with me in my hurry when I went down the mountain yesterday." Lin Xuan said frankly.

"That's not a problem."

"There are many swords and weapons in the government armory. I'll take you to pick one later."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Cao."

"Brother Lin Xuan, you don't have to be polite to me."

As they were talking, the two of them arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture.

After returning to the mansion, Captain Cao took the beast trap and reported to Prefect Tang.

Lin Xuan went to look for Abbot Sanzang and the others.

After half an hour, it was time for dinner.

Everyone discussed where to take action tonight and pretend to be monsters to hurt people.

It is not easy to handle a beast harness that is more than three meters long by one person.

At least three people.

And you need to have good body movements and arm strength!

After some discussion, it was finally decided that Captain Cao and two yamen runners would take action in the city.

The remaining six best soldiers were selected to go to Zhongmu County and the outskirts of Kaifeng!

As for Abbot Sanzang and Gongjin?
One person stayed in the city.

The other went outside the city.

After dinner.

Lin Xuan followed Captain Cao to the armory and selected a short knife that suited him.

The sky gradually darkened.

Lin Xuan and Gong Jin also rode out of Kaifeng City on horseback.

The strategy of luring the snake out of its hole is certainly a good one.

But if Narulahe plans to send those monsters to hurt people tonight, they can't just sit there and watch!
So, Lin Xuan decided to go to Xiangfu County tonight to find out what was going on!
If he really encounters those monsters, he will not show mercy.

After all, according to Lin Xuan's guess, the person who masters the power of the magic card is not an unarmed person, and is most likely a master in the Black Fox Gang!
Then he won't have to feel any psychological burden when he kills.

……

“Lin Xuan, even though you have mastered the Nine Diagrams and Six Seated Statue Body Technique to perfection, you still have to be careful if you encounter those monsters!”

The city gate.

He respectfully parted with Lin Xuan and gave instructions while looking at the young man's back.

"Don't worry, Uncle Master!"

Lin Xuan nodded at him, speaking calmly.

He has been taking a lot of beatings in the Cauldron of Creation in the past few months.

If we really talk about his combat experience, I'm afraid he is almost catching up with Elder Longchuan.

Done.

Lin Xuan did not hesitate. He kicked the horse's belly with his legs, pulled the reins, and disappeared into the night, heading towards Xiangfu County!

……

……

The winter night is bleak and deserted.

The north wind is as sharp as a knife, and it hurts so much when it blows on my face.

Lin Xuan had reached the Qi Yuan realm, and as soon as he circulated his true Qi, his body became as hot as a furnace, and soon the coldness was dispelled.

At this moment, he had been walking for more than half an hour in the cold night.

After exiting the official road, Lin Xuan saw a fairly thick and ancient city wall in the distance.

That is Xiangfu County!
Arriving outside the city gate, Lin Xuan jumped up and swooped over the wall gate like a swift.

This city gate is only about three meters high.

For Lin Xuan, it was effortless.

"who?"

"How dare you enter the city without permission!"

Lin Xuan showed up and did not hide his whereabouts.

After a while, a guard noticed the noise and shouted over here.

"I am Lin Xuan, a lay disciple of Shaolin. I am here to investigate the case on the orders of the prefect!"

Seeing the guards swarming over with spears in their hands, Lin Xuan was not afraid at all. He calmly took out the token and spoke loudly.

The leader took the gold-bronze token doubtfully, turned it over and checked it, then his face suddenly became serious and he quickly returned it.

"So it's Master Lin, I'm so sorry!"

The captain of the guard said politely.

Hearing this, Lin Xuan was somewhat flattered and said:

"I don't deserve to be a mage. You can just call me Lin Xuan."

Immediately, he glanced at the guards and said seriously:
"The night before, a monster appeared in seven counties under Kaifeng Prefecture and injured people. I'm sure everyone has heard about it."

"The prefect sent me here today to investigate this matter!"

Upon hearing this, the guards nodded in unison.

They also heard about the monster injuring people.

I don’t know if Xiangfu County is lucky?

Or maybe the thief behind the scenes didn't notice this place.

In short, Xiangfu County was safe that night.

However, such horrific events happening in neighboring counties still made the people of Xiangfu County panic-stricken and very uneasy.

Even the number of troops guarding the city walls has tripled since yesterday!
"Where is the tallest building in your Xiangfu County?"

After talking to each other for a few words, Lin Xuan asked the captain of the guard.

"It's in the Moon-Watching Pavilion at the east end of the city."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

Then, standing on the city wall, with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes, he focused his gaze towards the east end of the city, and indeed saw a towering building with flying eaves.

Retracting his gaze, Lin Xuan instructed the people in front of him:

"Please help me bring my horse in."

The words fell.

He suddenly jumped up, and in a moment, he soared into the sky like a flying phoenix, flying over a hundred feet in one breath and landing on the roof of the opposite side.

Soon, in a few flashes, there was no trace left.

Seeing this scene, the guards were dumbfounded:
"This this?!"

"Boss, why is this person's Qinggong so powerful?"

"No wonder he was sent here by the prefect. I thought he was young and incapable before."

"Looking at it now, I am shortsighted."

"With this skill, I'm afraid he can move freely in the imperial palace!"

"By the way, bring in his horse."

"..."

……

In just a cup of tea, Lin Xuan arrived at the top floor of Wangyue Pavilion.

As the saying goes, it’s lonely at the top.

Standing on this steep cliff, the north wind whistled past, and the chill it brought made Lin Xuan feel as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

Fortunately, he circulated his true Qi in time to warm up his body.

Looking down at the lights of thousands of houses below, a warm winter scene, Lin Xuan was deeply touched and thought:
"I wonder if my parents are asleep at this time?"

……

Moon-Watching Pavilion should be a place for singing to the wind and enjoying the moon.

Not long after Lin Xuan arrived here, he heard the sound of orchestral music coming from below.

Upon careful listening, it is still quite gentle and melodious.

So, Lin Xuan just sat on the top of the pavilion, staring at the surroundings like an eagle, enjoying the beautiful music.

Unknowingly.

The time of a stick of incense passed quietly.

Suddenly.

Lin Xuan seemed to have discovered something and his eyes fixed.

But under the frosty moonlight, there was a black shadow running towards a market town as fast as lightning.

"It seems that I still can't hold it back..."

Seeing this, Lin Xuan showed a hint of mockery on his face.

The next moment, he moved, and the wonderful power was unleashed. He rushed towards the market like a sharp arrow!
at the same time.

The monster with a human face and a sphinx body came to the market, roared angrily, and then rushed into a restaurant!
At night, the restaurant was still open.

Many diners were still drinking and chatting inside, and sounds of laughter could be heard from time to time.

Bang!
At this moment, a loud bang was heard. It turned out that the door panel was forcibly knocked open by a brute force at some point, and the flying wooden splinters scattered like snowflakes!

The sudden scene made everyone stunned.

I couldn't help but look back.

But they were shocked to find that a monster over three meters long, with a human face and a lion body, was grinning and staring at them with a ferocious look.

The dross coming out of your mouth is so disgusting!

At this moment, everyone's faces were filled with horror, their faces turned pale, and their bodies trembled:

"Weird...monster!"

"quick!"

"Everyone, run!"

"..."

I don't know who shouted.

After everyone reacted, they ran away!

Of course, there were also people who were completely stunned at this moment.

I knew that if I stayed here, I might be eaten by this monster, but my legs and feet just wouldn't obey me. They were so limp that I couldn't move!

He could only watch the monster leap towards him, feeling despair in his heart.

At this critical moment.

With a swish, a clear sound like water was heard.

Immediately afterwards, a blade flashed with murderous intent, slashing towards the head of the sphinx!
Breaking precepts sword technique!
at the same time.

Lin Xuan's mind moved, and a powerful true energy rushed out, directly covering the entire place!
In an instant, the wooden spikes that had been scattered on the ground suddenly floated up, densely packed, sharp as needles, and stabbed directly at the monster!

Lin Xuan made this move with almost no reservations!
Try to kill with one blow!

Perhaps the monster sensed Lin Xuan's murderous intent. When it was about to bite the man, it swung its tail cone, which was as big as a hammer, and suddenly collided fiercely with Lin Xuan's knife!
puff!
Lin Xuan swung his sword and the monster's tail broke directly!

In an instant, blood gushed out from the broken part, splashing several feet away!
At this moment, the monster also howled in pain.

The screams were extremely miserable!

At that time, wooden thorns like heavy rain and pear blossoms all pierced the body of the monster!
However, the material of those wooden thorns was poor. After piercing the fur, they could hardly move forward at all.

The monster screamed in pain again.

With a shudder, the dense wooden thorns fell weakly to the ground.

Soon, blood oozed out, and the monster was covered in blood, which was unbearable to look at!
This room.

The people who reacted quickly ran away.

How dare I stay here any longer?

Roar!
The monster felt pain repeatedly and stared at Lin Xuan at this moment, its eyes full of cruelty and murderous intent, as if it wanted to bite Lin Xuan to death in one bite!

……
