【Nine thousand words chapter】

It took less than half an hour to finally arrive with Shen Lang at his residence in Xingyefang in the inner city. Seeing that the surroundings were very quiet and not a single human voice could be heard, it was as if he had suddenly arrived at an abandoned village from the bustling capital. Zhou Shicheng couldn't help but wonder:

"Junior Brother Shen, are there no people around you?"

Shen Lang smiled and said:

"No one is there. There have been ghosts here. The houses across the street and the neighbors here are all empty. It's very quiet."

With that said, he got off his horse, took out the key and unlocked the door, then looked back at Zhou Shicheng:

"Senior Brother Zhou, come in and sit down, have a cup of tea and take a breather."

Zhou Shicheng heard that all the neighboring houses here were empty, and indeed he didn't hear anyone's voice. When he saw the figures, his heart suddenly became filled with greed.

This place is secluded and uninhabited. If we take action here, wouldn't it mean that no one is aware of it?

In this case, won't the one hundred thousand silver dollars be my exclusive use?

His eyes changed for a while, but Zhou Shicheng finally did not dare to take the risk.

Liao Xun is a father-in-law who came out of the palace. He is scheming, sinister and ruthless, and has some connections. If he takes the reward and offends Liao Xun, the consequences will be disastrous.

In addition, Shen Lang's background is also a bit troublesome. Zhou Shicheng needs someone to share the burden for him, and he also needs the scapegoat named "Ding Hao" that Liao Xun found.

Forcibly pressing Greed, Zhou Shicheng also jumped off his horse and entered the gate at Shen Lang's invitation.

After Zhou Shicheng entered, Shen Lang closed the door and led him inside while smiling and saying:

"Senior Brother Zhou, I would like to take the liberty of saying that I have a few things from my heart that I don't know whether I should say."

Zhou Shicheng smiled heartily:

"Junior brother, it's okay to say it."

"Then the little brother will speak out."

Shen Lang stopped, looked sideways at Zhou Shicheng, and said sincerely:

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but when you turn back you will find a shore; put down the butcher's knife, and you will become a Buddha immediately. The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and you will find a shore when you turn back; put down the butcher's knife, and you will become a Buddha immediately..."

Rather than saying it, he said it was "singing".

He sang hummingly in a hypnotic and arrogant voice. His speech speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and his tone was also high and low. It sounded very strange.

Zhou Shicheng's reaction is very interesting.

At first, seeing the sincerity on Shen Lang's face, he really thought that Shen Lang regarded him as his close brother and wanted to tell him his true feelings. He laughed secretly in his heart while pretending to listen carefully.

But when Shen Lang opened his mouth, his expression changed.

What is this from your heart?

It was clearly the magic sound that pierced his soul!

Zhou Shicheng's spell level is not high, only seventh level.

But his qualifications for practicing "contemplation method" are not bad. Yuanshen has already reached the fifth-level realm, but the academic mastery is not gold-rich enough. He can only learn the lower-third-level spells, but he can't learn any of the middle-third-level spells.

It's as if all the raw materials have been prepared, but due to the technical level, guns and ammunition cannot be made.

But since his soul cultivation was not weak, of course he immediately noticed that Shen Lang was casting a curse on him.

Originally, he wanted to quickly cast a spell to protect his soul and immediately distance himself from Shen Lang, but he was shocked to find that under the interference of the demonic sound, his sea of ​​consciousness seemed to have been poured into mud, and his thoughts became chaotic and sluggish. The "instantaneous" spell can no longer be cast instantly.

And this clear understanding of his own state only lasted for a short moment.

Afterwards, Zhou Shicheng's mind was completely confused. Various negative emotions emerged in his heart one after another, and rapidly expanded and expanded under the influence of the "magic sound". In an instant, they occupied his mind.

In fact, with Shen Lang's cultivation level, if he were to attack a fifth-level monk who was fully skilled in spells, the effect of the "Transfer Curse" would never be that strong.

Even if the opponent is unprepared for him, a true fifth-level monk can permanently solidify a ninth-level spell and an eighth-level spell. With the monk's life-saving characteristics, there is a high probability that two defensive spells will be solidified.

And any defensive spell, even if it is not a psychic defense spell that specifically protects the soul, can also weaken the power of spells against the soul to a certain extent.

For example, Shen Lang's permanently solidified spell-side "Iron Cloth Shirt" is not a pure physical defense spell. It also has quite good spell resistance, as well as a certain amount of psychic defense capabilities.

Therefore, if Zhou Shicheng is a fifth-level monk who has fully mastered spells, as soon as Shen Lang's curse sounds, he should react instinctively and instantly activate the permanent spell without even thinking about it.

And as long as there is this defense, with the tenacity of a fifth-grade monk's soul, thoughts will not be easily disturbed, mental loopholes will not be exposed so easily, and negative emotions can be suppressed.

It's a pity that Zhou Shicheng doesn't have enough academic qualifications. Even though he has reached the fifth level of Yuan Shen realm and can permanently solidify two spells, he just can't learn the secret method of permanently solidifying spells——

It only took Shen Lang six days to complete a sixth-grade spell. It took Shen Lang a full seven days to complete it. This shows that the difficulty of this secret technique is still higher than that of a sixth-grade spell. Shen Lang was stuck at the seventh-grade spell for five years.

Of course Zhou Shicheng, who had plenty of money, couldn't learn it.

In addition, Zhou Shicheng had too many desires, accumulated a lot of darkness and sneakiness deep in his heart, his mind was full of loopholes, and his resistance to the "Transfer Curse" was extremely weak.

Caught off guard, with the demonic voice pouring into his brain, his will almost collapsed.

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless and there is a shore when you turn around. Put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately. The sea of ​​suffering is boundless and there is a shore when you turn around..."

At this moment, Shen Hai formed a seal with his hands, spoke quickly, sang with many changes, and his voice was unpredictable. He sang an authentic Buddhist "mantra to save people" with an extremely evil and demonic nature.

As early as more than a month ago, when he was at the gate of the Taoist temple, he had already noticed Liao Xun and Zhou Shicheng's ill will toward him.

Although the two of them concealed themselves very well on the surface and controlled their micro-expressions very well, Shen Lang's "Spiritual Sense Early Warning" was too powerful. With their cultivation, it was impossible to perfectly control their malice and deceive Shen Lang.

Spiritual perception.

Although Shen Lang's name is a bit confusing, he always pays attention to "safety first" when traveling in the world.

Unless he encounters an uncontrollable accident, such as the incident at the "Real Man's Residence", he will always act after making a decision and will never follow the enemy's lead.

As long as there are conditions, we must let the enemy follow his own pace.

This time he "encountered" Zhou Shicheng by chance, and Zhou Shicheng wanted to trick him out of the city, so he used his plan to lure Zhou Shicheng to his house first, so as to strike first and see what Zhou Shicheng's plans were.

With the magic sound filling his head, Zhou Shicheng held his head in his hands, trembled all over, and his mouth trembled for a while. Suddenly he knelt down with a thud, banged his head at Shen Lang Peng Peng Peng, and shouted with tears streaming down his face:

"I'm guilty! Junior Brother Shen, I'm guilty! I shouldn't have wanted to kill you because of the sky-high reward... I shouldn't have conspired with that eunuch Liao Xun to murder the Taoist Junior Brother...

"I shouldn't have gone to the Jiaofang Department and used my status as a Taoist student to trick Miss Qing Ru, and lied to her that I would redeem her life after completing my studies. Not only did I prostitute her for free for more than a year, but I also defrauded her of more than a thousand silver dollars that she had saved so hard.

, and finally kicked her, causing her to die of depression...

"I shouldn't suppress new disciples, and I shouldn't use tricks to cause Hua Wu, who is one year younger than me, to go crazy, lose all his cultivation, and become an idiot out of jealousy... I shouldn't set up a plan to drive a wedge between Zhan Zhiping and Xiao Yue

My feelings..."

Zhou Shicheng kowtowed and cried bitterly while confessing one by one all the dark deeds he had done in his life.

Shen Lang frowned when he heard this, feeling that this person had the word "scum" written all over him from head to toe.

Except for the murder of Shen Lang, the evil deeds this man did were all done by himself out of various selfish motives and malice.

This kind of scumbag with a completely evil heart should be destroyed humanely.

But for the time being, we have to keep him alive and figure out the ins and outs of this matter.

After chanting for another quarter of an hour, until he was convinced that Zhou Shicheng would not be able to escape the influence of the "Transfer Curse" within a short period of time, Shen Lang stopped singing and casting the spell, and spoke slowly:

"Then what is Liao Xun's background?"

Zhou Shicheng answered with tears:

"He is a eunuch in the palace. He said that he made a mistake in the palace. He was given the excuse and kicked out of the palace. He was sent to the Taoist temple to guard the gate."

Shen Lang asked again:

"Did Liao Xun tell you that I was offered a reward of 100,000 silver dollars on the black market?"

Zhou Shicheng nodded:

"That's right. After all, I am a Taoist student. I seldom deal with the three religions and nine schools, and I don't know much about the black market. If Liao Xun hadn't told me about this, I really didn't know that you, junior brother, had a reward of 100,000 yuan."

"Besides you and Liao Xun, who else participated in this conspiracy?"

"Liao Xun also found a killer named 'Ding Hao', who is a fifth-level martial artist and is good at swordsmanship."

"Have you seen that Ding Hao?"

"I went to Taiyi Mountain a few days ago to check out the base, and I saw him when I was looking for a suitable place to start. He is indeed a fifth-grade master warrior, and he carries a thick-crested heavy sword. However, I didn't see him using the sword, but he showed off his palm skills.

, the palm power can strike nine feet away, the power is not small..."

"What about Liao Xun's strength?"

"When he was in the early stage of the fourth grade, he was also good at swordsmanship. He used a three-foot thin sword with a narrow and thin blade. His movement skills were weird, and his sword moves were as fast as lightning..."

"His three-foot thin sword is a fourth-grade magic weapon that can carry true energy?"

"It's not a magic weapon, just an ordinary hundred-forged steel sword."

"Where do you plan to start in Taiyi Mountain?"

"In a mountain stream infested with red clams, it is convenient to destroy corpses and eliminate traces."

After listening to Zhou Shicheng's detailed explanation of their action plan, Shen Lang hugged his chest with one hand and held his chin with the other, thinking to himself.

He is no longer a loner, but an organized figure with a backer.

Therefore, after hearing this incident, his first thought was to send Zhou Shicheng to the Divine Catcher Hall and report to Yan Tianying.
