The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 19: Build courage and kill people

With one step, Chu Zhou got off the bed. He put on a piece of clothing and prepared to go out.

After taking only two steps, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stopped, turned in a direction, and stopped in front of a table.

On the table is the spirit tablet of Taoist Xuanzhen, and on the wall is a portrait. In the painting, the Taoist is holding a whisk and riding a green bull upside down, with an elegant and otherworldly temperament.

Well, this portrait was specially painted by Chu Zhou. Even if Taoist Xuanzhen saw it, he might not recognize that it was himself.

On the table, there were all kinds of incense, candles and offerings, including a three-ear incense burner with three incense sticks that had burned out.

Chu Zhou didn't care about anything else. He overturned the incense burner and took out a palm-sized wooden plaque from it. He wiped it clean with a coarse cloth, revealing its scarlet color.

That’s right, he took the gloomy wooden sign from the ghost.

According to the method of "Ghost Technique", this ghost is kept in your body. You are the one who suffers and suffers losses, but you are also the one who provides for it. Naturally, there is no need to do anything else.

But Chu Zhou used the dark wood to make the wooden sign, which saved him a lot of trouble. However, the ghosts still needed food.

Just like people, even if you are a slave, you still have to take care of their food and drink.

Therefore, Chu Zhou buried the wooden sign in the incense burner, isolated it with grave soil, and fed it with three sticks of incense, which could also ensure the daily consumption of the ghost. This was an alternative method of taking shortcuts.

After cleaning it up in a few seconds, Chu Zhou hung the wooden sign around his waist.

He naturally doesn't like to use such means, but if he is really forced into a corner, he will use any means.

It was just a short delay when shouts were heard from outside the door.

"Brother, brother, please get up quickly. There are bad guys here. Bad guys...ah!"

The one who spoke was Yi Huai, his voice was filled with panic, and there were also the sound of blades breaking through the air, chaotic footsteps, and suppressed roars...

Chu Zhou didn't delay any longer. He took a step, broke the window directly, and arrived at the courtyard.

He took a quick glance and saw that his three fellow apprentices were there, being chased by a group of men in black.

Among the three, Fan Tiehu was in the best condition.

He was the weakest, but the calmest. When being chased by two men in black holding steel knives, he was able to maneuver around, avoid the blades every time, and run around everywhere.

From time to time, he would seize the opportunity to punch or kick and gain some advantage.

His punches and kicks were extremely powerful, and when they hit people, the men in black screamed in pain. It was only because they had weapons in their hands, otherwise they might not be a match for Fan Tiehu.

The next best one is Yi Huai. Honestly speaking, he has already entered the Body Tempering Stage and should have the strength, but unfortunately he has no combat experience at all.

The cold blade and the sharp sound of the weapon cutting through the air dazzled him and he could only run away.

That's right, he was also running around, but Fan Tiehu was consciously avoiding, while he was running around in panic.

Fortunately, he was the strongest and had the fastest reaction, so even though there were three or four people chasing him, they couldn't catch him.

But the most dangerous one is Xu Cheng!

In terms of courage, he is the least and his strength is poor. Although his qi and blood have reached the standard after more than a month of practice, his strength has not yet been condensed.

Facing the chopping blade, he performed the worst. He was stabbed on the arm, leaving a foot-long cut that was bleeding profusely.

At this moment, he was running away with his arms folded and his face pale.

Seeing Chu Zhou breaking out of the window, he almost rushed here crying, and did not notice that there was a man in black blocking them.

Seeing Xu Cheng approaching, the man in black raised his knife and chopped him down, with madness in his eyes that almost burst out.

However, he could not chop any further with his sword halfway because the hand holding the sword had been grasped by another large hand with such force that it seemed as if it could crush his bones.

“It hurts, it hurts… let go, ah!”

Before his shout could be heard, he was kicked in the chest. He flew sideways, hit the wall, and fell to the ground. Blood was flowing from all seven orifices, and he was breathing out more than he was breathing in.

This was the first death of the man in black, but definitely not the last.

"Brother? They, they just rushed in like that, chopping anyone they saw, my hand, my hand!"

Xu Cheng fell to Chu Zhou's feet, crying and sobbing.

Chu Zhou lowered his head and looked at the arm with flesh and blood rolling and bleeding. His expression became even uglier.

He casually pushed Xu Cheng into the room and said coldly, "Stop the bleeding first."

After giving the order, he moved again and rushed out. His body swayed in the air, avoiding several sword lights, and appeared behind Yi Huai.

With his good martial arts training and sufficient meat, Yi Huai has grown rapidly in the past four months and no longer looks like a thirteen-year-old boy.

Chu Zhou grabbed him as he was trying to evade, and held him in place, facing the sharp blades. He said in a low voice, "You are a warrior, a master, why are you afraid of these rabble?"

"So, open your eyes, look them in the face, and then destroy them!"

As he spoke, Chu Zhou pushed Yi Huai out, and four blades cut through the air and chopped him off on the head.

Yi Huai raised his head and stared at the blade. His whole body was trembling, but he refused to close his eyes.

Ding!
This was the crisp sound of the long sword colliding with the ground, the bluestone on the ground was broken and the gravel flew everywhere.

But Yi Huai had already taken a step back, just one step, but he avoided all the blades.

The four men in black did almost the same thing and looked up.
Then, they saw Yi Huai still trembling, but he raised his fist and smashed it down directly!
boom!
With one punch, a man in black was hit so hard that his face was covered with red blood and blood splattered. His head went dark and he fell straight down without even a sound.

Behind them, a group of men in black who were originally rushing up suddenly stopped moving, they were terrified.

Yi Huai moved again, his body like a python, nimbly dodging the opponent's attacks.

When he found an opportunity, he would either throw a punch or kick. These simple movements contained great power, and he would get hurt or fly away!
Perhaps the only thing that remained unchanged was that Yi Huai was still trembling, as if he was very scared.

But Chu Zhou knew that it was the surge of adrenaline that made him enter a state of ecstasy.

As for Fan Tiehu, his approach was even simpler.

With a flash, he was next to Fan Tiehu, and reached out again, handing him a steel knife.

It was just an extra knife, but with the sharp weapon in his hand, his expression changed. When he looked at the men in black again, there was a bit of excitement in his calm eyes.

In fact, Chu Zhou could see clearly that these men in black did not have much ability, or rather, only a few of them had ever practiced martial arts seriously.

But they are ruthless and crazy. I guess each of them has lives on their hands, so they can fight without any scruples.

Therefore, they are the best subjects for training courage.

After all, Xuanzhen Temple cannot rely on Chu Zhou alone. His fellow apprentices need to grow up and take charge of their own affairs.

It was with this idea in mind that Chu Zhou did not take action, but let them fight their own enemies.

Moreover, he was confident that he could protect them well.

However, although the idea is good, it can never catch up with the changes...

boom!
There was a loud crash, and the door leading to the backyard was opened directly. A figure was thrown out and rolled on the ground for several times.

He raised his head with great effort, and when he saw Chu Zhou, his lips moved: "Master, Master, run!"

His voice was so soft that if Chu Zhou hadn't had amazing hearing, he wouldn't have been able to hear it.

This man was actually the gatekeeper Dong Bo, an old widower who was adopted by Taoist Xuan Zhen and was tasked with doing gatekeeping and reception duties.

He is old, and has difficulty moving around, his hearing is not good, and his sleep is shallow, but for the little ones, they really like it!

He also had a monthly salary, although it was not much, but Taoist Xuanzhen still gave it to him. It was only five hundred dollars a month, but he spent it all on his three fellow disciples.

Exquisite sugar figurines, sweet and sour candied haws, hot meat buns, soft and sticky osmanthus cakes...

These are the rare warm moments in the original body's memory.

But now, Dong Bo was dead, with countless cuts on his body, covered in blood, and turned into a blood gourd.

But even so, he still tried to raise his hand and looked at Chu Zhou. His eyes seemed very anxious, but there was no light in them.

he died!
At this moment, Chu Zhou suddenly realized that the shrill howl was made by Dong Bo.

He is giving a warning!

"This old thing was finally chopped to death!"

"I don't know what benefits the master gave him that he could be so careless!"

The person who spoke had a loud voice and was holding a knife. He walked in through the main gate very arrogantly, cursing as he walked.

His steel knife hung low, blood dripping.

Behind him, there were many men in black following him.

"You guys, damn it!"

At this moment, Chu Zhou could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. All his thoughts on building up courage and accumulating experience disappeared into thin air.

He just wanted these people to die!

brush!
With one step, the blue bricks on the ground shattered, and Chu Zhou disappeared from the spot. Without any fancy moves, he just rushed forward.

bump!
With a loud bang, the leading man flew out, taking the two men behind him with him and imprinted on the wall, with blood splattering like a spider web.

"You guys are looking for death!"

It was hard to imagine Chu Zhou's state at this moment. He just wanted to kill all of them, so he didn't hesitate to attack.

Waving hands, punching, kicking, slapping...

It was just a simple movement, but it had unparalleled speed and power. If it hit the body, the body would be shattered; if it hit the head, the head would explode...

It’s not that the men in black didn’t want to fight back. They mustered up their courage and swung their swords at him, but Chu Zhou never thought of dodging.

However, when swords, fists and feet collided, it was not the flesh and blood that were shattered, but the steel knives.

In just a moment, all the men in black who poured in from the main gate were killed, leaving only the last one, who was grabbed by Chu Zhou's throat and lifted into the air.

"Tell me, who sent you here?"

The man in black tried hard to open and close his mouth, obviously wanting to say something, but all he could do was grab the big hand on his neck and kick his legs desperately!
But Chu Zhou didn't give him a chance.

Click!

The neck was broken and the body of the man in black fell limply to the ground. Chu Zhou threw it away casually as if he was throwing away garbage.

Then, he looked out the door and said, "It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to talk. With you guys here, I believe I can find out what I want to know."

Outside the door, in the corner, two men in straw raincoats and bamboo hats stood there, seemingly blending into the shadows, inconspicuous.

But when Chu Zhou discovered their whereabouts, they immediately became lively, their momentum rising steadily, and they could no longer be ignored.
