The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 12 Died on duty
In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and most people's activities throughout their lives were fixed within a radius of several dozen kilometers.

Some people have never left their hometown in their entire lives.

Apart from some martial arts towns, I don’t know who to turn to if I want to learn martial arts.

After Li Jingxiao studied silently, Wudang Changquan appeared in his mind.

This boxing style is easier to master, and you can get the hang of it after just three tries.

In less than an incense stick of time, you have achieved some success.

Li Jingxiao suddenly felt that although this Kung Fu had fighting techniques, it focused more on laying the basics.

The more proficient you are in practicing Wudang Changquan, the more solid your foundation will be.

Unconsciously, an hour passed, and after he had mastered the Wudang Changquan from minor proficiency to mastery (1/2000), he stopped.

After taking a break and drinking some tea, I started practicing chasing stars and catching the moon.

It wasn't until the early morning that I finally mastered this light skill (1/2000).

The speed suddenly felt several times faster than before, and moving in the air was also much smoother and simpler than before.

However, after mastering this light skill, it seems like flying in the air, but the steps within a short distance are relatively weak.

Of course, this is compared with Lingbo Weibu.

Other light skills, such as lateral movement and speed, are not as good as this one.

Not to mention, this light skill consumes much less true energy when running long distances.

For the time being, this light skill is indeed the best choice for Li Jingxiao.

Wait until you get a more powerful one, then replace it.

I was just about to wash up and meditate to practice the immortality technique.

Suddenly, my ears moved and I heard a very light sound of footsteps coming from afar.

It sounded like these people were heading towards Zhenwu Temple.

Fortunately, I had been practicing martial arts in the Taoist temple before, so I didn't light the oil lamp.

With a move of his body, he disappeared into the darkness and hid behind the eaves of the hall.

After a while, the footsteps really stopped outside the wall of Zhenwu Temple.

Then someone whispered, "Climb over the wall and get in."

Li Jingxiao couldn't help but get nervous.

The person who climbed over the wall was seen to have a flexible body, but it was definitely not a person with light skills.

Instead, he simply relied on his physical strength and skills acquired through years of training.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

His greatest reliance is his martial arts and internal strength.

When you start practicing Taoism and cultivating immortality in the future, you will definitely not have to worry about anything.

But now, if you meet a tough guy who survived the battle on the battlefield, you may still be defeated if you are not careful.

But if Li Jingxiao launched a sneak attack, he had enough confidence to kill these people in a few strokes.

Since there is Taoism in this world, martial arts should not be too low.

If he is surrounded and cannot defeat Li Jingxiao, he will definitely run away.

This is also the reason why Li Jingxiao practiced Qinggong first.

Then he launched sneak attacks and plotted secretly. In short, his life was more important, and he had no idea of ​​winning unfairly.

After a person climbed in, the door quickly opened silently.

Then three strong men, wearing black clothes and carrying embroidered spring swords on their waists, walked in, surrounding a middle-aged man.

Although the identities of these people could not be seen for the time being, Li Jingxiao judged from the Embroidered Spring Knife and the boots of the middle-aged man that this person must be an official.

I couldn't help but frown.

The official came to the door quietly late at night. Then I thought about my master, my master and the other six brothers. They had been away for three months and there was no news.

Li Jingxiao thought to himself, could this Zhenwu Temple be the remnant of the previous dynasty, or the remnants of the former crown prince?

In the history of the Celestial Empire, there seem to be many cases of Taoists rebelling, or people using the identity of Taoists to conceal their true identities.

Thinking of this, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but think to himself, I shouldn't be so unlucky, right?
Then the murderous intent suddenly arose. As the saying goes, if you have a sharp weapon in your heart, the murderous intent will arise.

I'm talking about people like him.

Fortunately, I changed my mind and thought that maybe these people were just here to steal the secret books of Zhenwu Temple.

My master is a real master of Taoism. It has been so long and no one has set their sights on the Taoist temple, which is unrealistic.

So Li Jingxiao didn't move for the time being and continued to lie on the eaves of the roof.

Two men in black stayed with the middle-aged man, while the other two began to search the main hall and side halls.

Not long after, he entered the middle courtyard and the back yard.

Li Jingxiao also realized from the actions of the two men that this group of people were not here to look for any secret manuals, gold, silver or treasures.

That means you are here to find yourself.

"Sir, the person is gone."

The middle-aged man was stunned and frowned as he asked, "Didn't they say that the boy had dinner in the temple last night and hasn't come out since?"

Now it was Li Jingxiao's turn to be surprised. He didn't expect that someone outside the temple was monitoring him, and he was completely unaware of it.

I secretly thought that I was careless.

However, Li Jingxiao never thought that his master and his six brothers would be implicated by the government.

Then I started to wonder who was monitoring me and where this person was hiding?

As soon as this thought came to my mind, I immediately thought of the small vendors selling food on this street.

Normally, it is not possible for vendors to set up stalls on the main street where the main entrance is located in the residential area of ​​the powerful.

But the last time I went to Rongguo Mansion, Ningrong Street was so bustling, and there were several times more vendors than on Zhenwu Temple Street.

Of course, no one really dared to set up a stall near the main gate of the Ning and Rong mansions.

There is no need to guess, the person who is monitoring you must be among the vendors.

But for a moment, Li Jingxiao couldn't figure out which vendor it was.

Or perhaps, there are several.

Then a man in black replied in an uneasy tone, "Sir, three days ago, we received the news that Taoist Chonglin and his six disciples died in the line of duty.

I sent someone to look after the little Taoist priest.

A few days ago, it was the doctor from Ju'antang who instigated a few ruffians to cause trouble for the young Taoist priest.

I have also made a special effort to find out.

Behind the scenes is the steward of the Xing'an Earl's Mansion, who must be jealous of the medical skills inheritance of Zhenwu Temple.

Moreover, Mr. Lian from Rongguo Mansion has already visited the Xing'an Earl Mansion, and things have been quiet there in the past few days.

That’s why I didn’t continue investigating.

In the afternoon, I learned that Your Excellency wanted to meet the young Taoist priest, so I came here in person to see him.

I also heard from more than a dozen neighbors that the young Taoist priest's stick skills are very good."

The middle-aged man knew that his men would not dare to lie to him, but the person he was looking for was nowhere to be found.

No matter how many reasons you have, if you say them at this time, it will make you appear incompetent.

The middle-aged man scolded them a few words, and the four men in black were speechless.

Li Jingxiao, who was on the roof, couldn't help but sigh when he heard that the old Taoist priest and his master's six brothers had died in the line of duty.

Then came the clenched fists.

After being reborn into this world, although he had only been with his master and the others for half a month, he had accepted all the memories of this body.

In addition, during that half month, no one beat or scolded me, and my master and junior uncle were very kind to me.

I spent another half a month taking care of the vegetable garden with my junior master-master, chatting and laughing, and we still have some feelings for each other.

When I heard that my master and his companions had all died in the line of duty, the thought of revenge suddenly popped up in my mind.

However, Li Jingxiao also noticed the word "died in the line of duty".
