Chapter 48: The Chivalrous Master Lu

There were several pieces of human skin stretched on the wall and five or seven human legs hanging from the beams.

Cao Jie only took one look at Sun Erniang's human flesh workshop and walked out with a feeling of disgust.

The picture is really creepy!

If you watch it too much, you will have nightmares at night.

It is simply unimaginable that such a plump woman could do something so devilish.

On the cross slope of the big tree, besides the "female demon" Sun Erniang, there is also a "vegetable gardener" Zhang Qing. As the saying goes, if you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze. So the family needs to be tidy.

Cao Jie glanced at Sun Erniang who was playing in the mud. He waited for a long time but Zhang Qing did not come to seek revenge, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

So he called Shi Qian and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Don't worry, brother. I, Shi Qian, may not be good at other things, but I am very good at this kind of thing."

Shi Qian received the order and disappeared into the dense forest with light footsteps.

Cao Jie didn't know how capable "Vegetable Gardener" Zhang Qing was, but the fact that he was ranked 102nd was enough to show his ability.

The wind blew through the treetops, making a rustling sound.

At this time, several miles away, Zhang Qing put his ear against a big tree, listened quietly for a moment, sighed, and whispered:

"Why don't those killer embryos leave?"

"My poor wife was killed like this."

"In this bright and clear world, where can I go..."

The book implies that there used to be a temple here called Guangming Temple.

Zhang Qing was the one who grew vegetables in the temple's vegetable garden. However, he had a dispute with the monks in the temple over a trivial matter. In a rage, he became extremely vicious and killed all the monks in the temple.

Then he set fire to the temple, burning it to the ground.

Since no one filed a complaint, the corrupt officials in the government did not pursue the case. From then on, Zhang Qing made a living by cutting people's throats at the cross slope of the big tree.

One day, Zhang Qing was robbing the road and met his senior, the "Mountain Yaksha" Sun Yuan. Zhang Qing fought with Sun Yuan for more than twenty rounds, and was knocked down by a carrying pole.

Seeing that Zhang Qing was quite capable, Sun Yuan decided to marry his daughter, Sun Erniang, to Zhang Qing.

After the mountain yaksha died, the couple felt that the living in the city was too expensive and they could not have their freedom, so they returned here, built a few thatched houses, and made a living by selling wine.

Any merchants who traveled alone or were careless would suffer misfortune.

The fat ones are cut into steamed buns, while the thin ones are used to fill the river.

Moreover, Zhang Qing also took them to various places to sell.

It's simply a human devil!
As the saying goes: Every family has its own rules, and every industry has its own regulations.

Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang opened a black shop in Shizipo, but they also set a rule that "three kinds of people cannot be harmed". It stipulates that three kinds of people cannot be killed, namely: wandering monks and Taoists, prostitutes in brothels, and people who have committed crimes and are exiled.

The rules were established, but the female yaksha was murderous by nature. She not only killed an unknown monk, but also almost killed Lu Zhishen.

Fortunately, when Sun Erniang was about to skin Master Lu, Zhang Qing happened to return. Seeing that Lu Zhishen's Zen stick was not an ordinary thing, he quickly rescued him with an antidote and became sworn brothers with him.

Not only that, Sun Erniang also violated the rule of not killing people who were exiled for committing crimes, and planned to use the same trick again to charm Wu Song. However, Wu Song saw something fishy from the few hairs in the stuffing of the steamed buns, so he didn't fall for it, but instead subdued the she-devil.

At that time, Wu Da died, and Wu Erlang turned evil and became the Demon Lord, so he followed him and became his sworn brothers.

But now Wu Song, who hates evil and is a well-known hero, cannot tolerate man-eating demons.

"Brother, come and see."

"I don't know which hero this female demon killed, leaving these things behind."

"Zheng!" The whistling sound was filled with murderous intent.

"Good knife..."

At the back of the black shop, Cao Zheng and Ruan Xiaoqi found some gold and silver, as well as a set of "Golden Legend" equipment.

Ruan Xiaoqi held up the knife and said with a smile, "Haha, Wu Erlang, come quickly. If you put on this outfit, you will be a real monk."

Wu Song's soul looks like an ascetic monk or a Buddhist practitioner.

As soon as Ruan Xiaoqi saw the rosary made of 108 human skull bones, two ring knives made of snowflake iron, and a gold-plated crescent ring hoop in the box, he felt that these things were destined to be with Wu Song.

"Seventh brother, please don't laugh at me. Wu Song doesn't want to be a monk in this life. He only wants to enforce justice on behalf of heaven and kill as many people as possible."

"Then let me ask you, are you greedy for these two swords?"

"Wow! What a great sword..." Wu Song's eyes lit up.

…………

Zhang Qing didn't dare to go back to the Big Tree Cross Hill, so he wandered around. He had a unique skill that allowed him to use plants to detect information from afar.

As he was walking, he suddenly stopped, quietly lay down on a big tree, listened for a moment, and then sneaked towards the Cross Hill.

"I have been walking for most of the day and I am extremely hungry and thirsty. I came across a tavern and was about to drink and eat meat, but I didn't expect to be ruined by you guys."

"Don't be afraid, woman. I will take care of it for you..."

There was a loud "clang" and the water-ground Zen staff hit the bluestone, causing sparks to fly and gravel to fly everywhere.

The five soldiers who were digging a pit to bury the corpse were horrified and said anxiously: "Master, we are not thieves..."

“This is a shady shop!”

"Let us explain..."

Everyone was talking at once, and the monk didn't listen at all. He just rushed over aggressively.

"Hurry... call someone..."

"Wudutou... help!"

Wu Song had just acquired two snow-capped iron knives in the backyard of the black shop and was testing the knives when he heard the noise and immediately ran out.

Then I saw that the fat monk was probably two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist. He was wearing a blue cloth monk's robe, had a straight nose and a wide mouth, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a beard that extended behind his ears. He was born with a frowning face and an angry look.

What was even more terrifying was that the water-ground Zen stick, which weighed who knows how many pounds, was dancing, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere, which was terrifying.

Wu Song's eyes lit up, he rushed forward, raised his double swords and took the blow head-on.

In an instant, Wu Song's entire feet sank into the ground, and sparks burst out from his two swords with unparalleled power.

"What a strong force!" Wu Song and the fat monk spoke at the same time.

"You are a man, you have such a strong ability, why do you bully that weak woman, kill people and rob them, you are not a hero at all."

Wu Song knew that the monk had misunderstood. Just as he was about to speak, he heard him shout with thunderous tongue:
"I'll hit you with my stick again!"

"Fuck, why is Lu Zhishen here?"

There was such a loud noise ahead that Cao Jie and the others were naturally alarmed.

When Cao Jie saw the two men fighting, he gritted his teeth.

When two tigers fight, only a real dragon can resolve the fight!

Master Lu was originally a captain in the army and had also been to the battlefield with General Xiaozhong. His roar was full of murderous intent and a bloody smell filled his nose.

The soldiers rescued by Wu Song were all trembling with fear, wishing they could escape immediately, but their legs were so weak that they could not stand up.

Wu Song's eyes gleamed, and he saw the big monk's body suddenly swell. He was already tall, and now he was like a giant, with muscles knotted, strength shaking the void, and true energy converging, and the huge Zen stick hit him on the head!

It is really like the Buddha's Vajra descending to the earth.

Wu Song was also very strong, but this time he did not choose to take the blow head-on. Instead, he took a step forward and kicked the frightened soldiers out one by one.

Then, at the critical moment, he shook the two swords onto the Zen staff, and two bright sword flowers burst out, and his body followed the strong energy and retreated outside the staff.

"Fight...fight...fight..."

From afar, the silly Sun Erniang was clapping her hands.

"Lu Zhishen, stop first." Cao Jie shouted loudly.

"Ok!"

Lu Zhishen put away his Zen stick and turned to look at Cao Jie, his eyes wide open, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know me?"

"In July, I met Master Lin at the manor of Mr. Chai in Cangzhou, and learned from him what the master looked like."

"Humph!"

Lu Zhishen snorted coldly: "Why did he tell everyone about my condition? Isn't it troublesome enough that he hates me?"

Lin Chong was indeed outspoken, causing Lu Zhishen to become a wanted criminal. He fled from Tokyo City and wandered around the world, without food to eat or wine to drink. It was no wonder that Lu Zhishen got angry and felt some resentment towards Lin Chong.

I'm hungry and I haven't had any wine to drink.

Wouldn't this cost him his life?
Seeing that he stopped fighting and just stood there with a cold face, Cao Jie smiled and said, "Let me introduce you to him. This is Lu Zhishen, the man who killed Zhen Guanxi with three punches and uprooted the weeping willow tree in Dongjing City."

"He is indeed a good man!"

Wu Song put away the snowflake iron sword in his hand and said, "Master Lu must have heard of my brother. He is Cao Jie from Yuncheng, Shandong!"

Lu Zhishen frowned and thought for a moment, then asked with a cupped hand, "But is it Cao Jie, who is known as the King of Hell and Little Mengde?"

"It's me!"

"what!"

Master Lu stretched out his carrot-sized fingers and scratched his bald head, then smiled awkwardly and said, "It seems that I really misunderstood..."
