Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Lin Yaoxie said, "First, I originally planned to have a final showdown with Chonglou at the Moon-Viewing Platform three years ago during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I was stopped by the elders. Therefore, I will have to borrow the Moon-Viewing Platform of Shushan this time."

Changqing said, "This matter is very easy. I, Changqing, agree to this on behalf of Sect Leader Qingwei."

Lin Yaoxie said, "Secondly, Shushan mistakenly forced me into the Demon Locking Tower. Now that I have returned, I hope Shushan will announce this matter to the world, and let the world judge right and wrong."

Changqing said, "This matter concerns the reputation of Mount Shu. Allow me to return to Mount Shu and report to the sect leader. What's the third one?"

Lin Yaoxie said, "Third, I will fight the elders of Shushan again, and my life or death will be up to fate."

Changqing said, "This..."

Lin Yaoxie knew his days were numbered, and conquering Mount Shu in the short term would indeed be difficult. As the saying goes, "to catch the thief, catch the king," Lin Yaoxie planned to directly defeat the elders of Mount Shu, at which point Mount Shu would fall into disarray and become nothing to fear.

After Changqing left, he returned shortly afterward. Changqing said, "The elders have accepted your conditions, but they want to gamble three rounds with Brother Lin."

The demon from Mount Shu, along with several elite disciples of the Thunderbolt Hall, was confronting the elders of Mount Shu. Qingwei said, "For this first round, how about this humble Taoist and Young Hero Lin bet on fishing?"

0oo is asking for flowers....

"What is the stake?" It was the Evil Sword Immortal who spoke.

Qingwei said, "Let's bet on how much food supplies your Thunderbolt Hall has."

Lin Yaoxie asked, "And what about you?"

Qingwei said, "Naturally, it's the grain and provisions for the entire Yuzhou region."

The betting method for fishing is very simple. There is a clear pool in the back of Shushan Mountain, where a strange fish is raised. No matter what method Shushan and Pili Hall use, whoever catches the strange fish first wins.

At the shady side of Mount Shu, in front of the Green Pool, although it was the time between summer and autumn, the north of the pool was still blazing with heat. Lin Yaoxie felt a chill as he stood in front of the pool. Looking at his companions, Luo Rulie and Xuejian, whose skills were slightly weaker, were already clenching their teeth.

Lin Yaoxie removed his clothes and gave them to Xuejian, saying, "I don't know how this strange fish survives in this water."

As a prestigious and righteous sect, Shushan was fair in its gambling rules. Before fishing, they had already informed Lin Yaoxie and the others that the fish in the cold pool needed to be baited with snake gallbladders.

Unfortunately, fishing may seem simple, but the details are hard to grasp. In addition, the strange fish in the green pool are extremely cunning, and they escaped several times after taking the bait.

Seeing that Lin Yaoxie's expression was off, the members of the Thunderbolt Hall also threw in their bait, but without exception, the strange fish escaped.

On the opposite side of Mount Shu, Elder Youxuan was fishing alone in front of the pool, while the other elders did not participate.

Before long, the water in the pool began to ripple. After a while, the water returned to calm, only to ripple again. This repeated several times. The people of Thunderbolt Hall knew that Elder Youxuan had caught the strange fish.

Although the members of the Thunderbolt Hall couldn't catch it, they didn't want the fish to be caught by the Shu Mountain members so easily, so they kept harassing it by moving around on the surface of the water.

Strangely enough, although the Thunderbolt Hall members threw all the bait at Elder Youxuan, it had no effect on Elder Youxuan's fishing at all.

Looking across the emerald pool, Lin Yaoxie saw Youxuan's joyful expression. Lin Yaoxie knew that Youxuan was about to pull the strange fish out of the water, and it was a matter of who would be faster.

Lin Yaoxie took out the Demon-Suppressing Sword, and after a few leaps, he returned to his original spot, now holding a strange silver fish no bigger than the palm of his hand.

Chapter 109 Fishing and Poetry

It turned out that Lin Yaoxie knew he had no hope of catching the fish, so the moment Youxuan pulled the strange fish out of the water, he used the Demon-Suppressing Sword to cut Youxuan's fishing line and steal the fish from Elder Youxuan.

Lin Yaoxie threw the strange fish into the fish basket, then clasped his hands in a fist salute across the clear pool and said, "Elder Youxuan, you flatter me."

Although the Shushan disciples were very dissatisfied, they had no choice but to accept it. After all, the Biyue Pool was a place where Shushan's senior disciples practiced their skills. Generally speaking, they needed to use their internal energy to resist the cold of the Biyue Pool. However, Lin Yaoxie could not only resist the cold of the Biyue Pool, but also had the energy to catch fish in the water. This was something that very few people in Shushan could do.

Lin Yaoxie won the first fishing game and returned to the Thunderbolt Hall headquarters in Deyang. Tomorrow is Thunderbolt Hall's home day, and people from Shushan will come to Thunderbolt Hall. The topic will also be selected by Thunderbolt Hall.

Time was running out, and there were only two days left before they had to leave the world of Sword and Fairy 3 "887". Lin Yaoxie still didn't understand what the demon in Sword and Fairy 3 was.

The next day, only the Chief Minister of Shushan and the elders of Shushan came to the Thunderbolt Hall. Qingwei was nowhere to be seen. It was probably because they were afraid that the Thunderbolt Hall would launch a surprise attack, so Qingwei stayed in Shushan to guard the area.

Changqing and the others looked exhausted, probably because Yuzhou had lost its food supply and had not eaten for two days.

Lin Yaoxie laughed and said, "Seeing how exhausted Brother Changqing is, it would seem unfair to resort to violence. How about we compete in literature instead?"

Shushan originally had no desire to engage in martial arts with the demon Lin, and was overjoyed to hear that they would compete in literature. Changqing said, "As a martial artist myself, I am willing to give it my best."

Lin Yaoxie clapped his hands twice and said, "Everyone has come from a long way. It's not too late to have some snacks before we start the competition."

The waiter from Thunderbolt Hall brought over several small plates, on which were placed several bright red pastries, which turned out to be hawthorn cakes.

Fearing that the people of Shu Mountain would suspect that the Thunderbolt Hall had poisoned the food, Lin Yaoxie took one first and said, "Deyang is a poor place, so these pastries are the only ones that are passable."

At this moment, the people of Shushan were secretly lamenting their predicament. They couldn't decide whether to eat the pastry or not.

Hawthorn cake is supposed to be a good food for digestion, but for the people of Shu Mountain who are short of food, it's like drinking poison to quench their thirst. If they eat it, they'll only get hungrier when they get back, but not eating it would be impolite.

Lin Yaoxie ignored whether the elders of Shushan were eating or not, and after taking a bite of half a hawthorn cake, he casually said, "I have a couplet, please give me your guidance, elders."

After speaking, Lin Yaoxie used his sword as a pen and wrote the first line of a couplet on the pillar of the Thunderbolt Hall:

As a guest official, I stayed at a poor family's house, where I spent my days in solitude and loneliness.

The original intention of this couplet was to express humility, reflecting Lin Yaoxie's feelings after arriving in the world of Sword and Fairy 3. Although he had few rivals in the world of Sword and Fairy 3, he still felt an indescribable loneliness.

However, the couplet itself is somewhat tricky, because the first line is entirely composed of the "roof" structure.

The people of Shushan also realized that this couplet was difficult to match. For a moment, the elders whispered among themselves, racking their brains but unable to come up with a solution.

Suddenly, a servant from the Thunderbolt Hall stepped forward and said, "The Shu Mountain sect prides itself on being a prestigious and powerful sect, and has insulted our Thunderbolt Hall by saying we have no one to rely on. This time, we will not stand idly by."

Lin Yaoxie looked closely and saw that it was Bi Ping who had spoken. Chang Qing seemed to understand something after hearing Bi Ping's words and said, "Brother Lin, for the sake of our past friendship, could you give me a break?"

Lin Yaoxie chuckled and said, "Of course, of course." Lin Yaoxie waved his hand and replaced the hawthorn cake with some ordinary food.

Seeing that Lin Yaoxie had agreed, Changqing bowed and said, "Thank you."

The newly served pastries remained untouched; instead, he wielded the magic sword to inscribe a couplet on another pillar:

Tsukasa lives in a wealthy house and has a vast universe.

The Grand Chancellor, a wealthy man from the pre-Qin period, is advising Lin Yaoxie not to dwell on the past. This couplet subtly suggests that he should yield to Lin Yaoxie, implying that as long as Lin Yaoxie stops being so aggressive, Mount Shu will surely reward him in the future.

Lin Yaoxie stared at the second line of the couplet on the pillar and was speechless for a moment. Since there was a prior agreement to let Changqing give a hint, he did not expect Changqing to use it here.

In the second round, Shushan clearly won.

Lin Yaoxie lost the second round and was somewhat depressed when he returned. He wanted to capture Biping and hold him accountable, but Biping had already fled to Mount Shu.

That night, Lin Yaoxie tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Tomorrow would be the last day, and he didn't know if the system would force him to return to the main world. However, there were still many problems in the world of Sword and Fairy 3 that needed to be resolved.

Unable to sleep, Lin Yaoxie walked into the courtyard and heard the rustling sound of rice being scooped. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw Luo Rulie weighing rice for a Shushan disciple.

Lin Yaoxie roared, "Little Luo, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing Lin Yaoxie's voice, the Shushan disciple grabbed a handful of rice from the rice bag and fled towards Shushan with the bag on his back. Lin Yaoxie watched his retreating figure, which resembled Maoshan 0, whom he had met before...

Luo Rulie lowered his head, not daring to look at Lin Yaoxie, and after a long while, he timidly said, "Boss, I know what I'm doing is a bit wrong, but..."

After Luo Rulie's explanation, it turned out that the Thunderbolt Hall suffered heavy losses in the fierce battle with Shushan that day. After returning, Luo Rulie asked Lei Xiaotian if there was any way to improve the Thunderbolt Hall disciples in a short time.

Lei Xiaotian searched for a long time in the "Biological Crisis" chapter of "Thunderbolt Secret Manual" and finally found a pill, but someone needed to volunteer to cut flesh for the experiment.

Although the Thunderbolt Hall had many disciples, most of them would rather die than suffer such cruel torture as slow slicing. Just then, Maoshan found Luo Rulie and wanted to buy some food. Luo Rulie had a sudden thought and came up with this idea.

After hearing Luo Rulie's words, Lin Yaoxie asked, "How is the pill refining going?"

Luo Rulie said happily, "The first batch will be completed tomorrow morning."

Lin Yaoxie pondered for a moment and said, "Take these people to the foot of Mount Shu tomorrow morning to await orders."

That night, Lin Yaoxie flew to Mount Shu on his sword, just in time to find the people of Mount Shu holding a banquet to celebrate their victory during the day.

Lin Yaoxie said, "Let's start the third match now."

When the five elders of Mount Shu saw that Lin Yaoxie had come to Mount Shu alone to seek a third round of gambling, Elder Yang took out a gourd from his waist and said, "How about we gamble on wine for the last round?"

He Yang said, "I happen to have half a gourd of wine here. Let's bet on who can drink the wine in the gourd last."

Qingwei waved his hand, signaling the remaining disciples of Shushan to step back. In front of Wuji Pavilion, only Lin Yaoxie and the five elders of Shushan remained for a moment.

He Yang said, "Young Master Lin is a guest, please come in."

Lin Yaoxie caught the gourd with his right hand, shook it, and found that there was still half a bottle of wine left. However, he didn't know if the wine in the gourd was unusual, so he didn't dare to drink it first.

Lin Yaoxie lowered his right hand and pulled out the gourd's stopper, saying, "If the master doesn't drink, how dare the guest taste it first?" With a flick of his wrist, the vermilion gourd flew towards Elder Cang Gu.

Chapter 110 Demigod Changqing

Seeing the gourd coming at him with great force, Cang Gu dared not catch it with his hands. He took two steps back, summoned the Hundred Refined Sword and transformed it into the shape of a demonic sword. With a move called Illusory Water Thunderclap, he deflected the gourd. At the same time, he rode the sword under the gourd and drank the wine that spilled from the gourd.

Seeing that the wine in the gourd was normal, Lin Yaoxie tried to catch it, intending to drink it all in one gulp. However, Cang Gu had tampered with the gourd earlier, increasing its force as it returned. Before Lin Yaoxie could even grasp it, the gourd flew behind him.

He Yang rode up on his sword, calling out, "Don't waste this little bit of good wine."

Seeing that He Yang had obtained the gourd, Lin Yaoxie secretly increased the force in his hand, and used the Yilong Sword Technique out of thin air. With the move of Ye Gong's love of dragons, the gourd flew upwards from the top of his head as it spun around. A stream of clear wine was just enough to fall on Lin Yaoxie's head. Lin Yaoxie tilted his head back and drank the wine, saying, "Good wine."

"The wine is good, but drinking it alone takes away its flavor." It was Youxuan who spoke. Youxuan held a folding fan, and with a wave of his hand, the wine that had been flowing straight down seemed to have eyes, turning in the air and flowing towards Youxuan.

Lin Yaoxie hadn't expected Youxuan to have such a trick up his sleeve, and in his anger, he said, "What a broken gourd!" Lin Yaoxie drew his Demon-Suppressing Sword and cleaved the gourd above his head in two, and the wine inside poured out like rain.

Lin Yaoxie 04 wielded the Demon-Suppressing Sword, yet every drop of wine ended up in Lin Yaoxie's mouth.

Seeing that Lin Yaoxie was acting this way, Qingwei realized that all the wine would eventually end up in Lin Yaoxie's stomach. Qingwei said, "People say that spilled water cannot be gathered up again, but that's just an excuse for mortals."

Several figures flashed by, and countless ethereal phantoms danced around Lin Yaoxie. After a moment, Qingwei held a gourd in her hand and said, "This wine belongs to Mount Shu, and ultimately it is the people of Mount Shu who will drink it."

.

Seeing that Qingwei was about to drink the last of the wine from the gourd, Lin Yaoxie had a sudden idea and said, "If you cheat and win, I won't admit it."

Qingwei asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Lin Yaoxie said, "This gourd of yours was originally filled with the same thing, it's not the same one as before."

Unaware of the deception, Qingwei said to Lin Yaoxie, "Young Master Lin, you'll know once you try it. Elder Heyang's Hundred Herbs Wine is unique to Shu Mountain, and very few people can imitate it."

Lin Yaoxie took the gourd from Qingwei's hand and was about to drink from it when he realized he couldn't fool Jingming. Jingming knew Lin Yaoxie's intention and said:

"Young Master Lin, have you ever heard of cartilage paste?"

Of course, the demon Lin knew about the powder that could make people feel weak all over in a short period of time.

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Lin Yaoxie hesitated, unsure whether Qingwei's gourd contained the rare poison of cartilage paste.

If he drinks it, he will win the bet, and then Lin Yaoxie can rightfully challenge the five elders of Shushan and rightfully avenge his previous humiliation.

However, if he doesn't drink it, the Shushan elders will be in an unbeatable position in this bet, but whether the new gourd contains the soft bone syrup Lin Yaoxie truly doesn't know.

Lin Yaoxie stood frozen in place, gourd in hand, pondering how to break the deadlock. Finally, after much deliberation, he threw the gourd far away; he couldn't and wouldn't take the risk, so he conceded defeat.

Lin Yaoxie was defeated, and Shushan and Pilitang lived in peace from then on. After Shushan got rid of this troublesome demon, the entire sect seemed to be full of vitality.

At dawn at the foot of Mount Shu, Lin Yaoxie did not tell anyone in the Thunderbolt Hall about his failure the previous night. Lin Yaoxie asked Luo Rulie, "Is everyone here?"
