Killing so against soht, an ordinary guydesire to kill would probably succeed in assassinating an unprepared kung fuintent, even a seasoned killer would appearfu technique competition Gu Shenwei did not intend to kill Lianye and thus easily got caught by the monk
The monk carried the killer on his shoulder and ran toward Leftslope Vihara Gu Shenwei looked at the ground with a wry smile on his face He knew that it was useless to reason with Lianye since this monk was a little bit insane He was confident that once he met Lianhua, he would be able to find a way to talk hier Monk’s death, the monks of Four Truths Teer Monk’s soul
However, when Gu Shenwei reopened his ot into Lianhua’s er, which had eaten half of Tiger Monk’s body, returned to this place
At thison its sto out
Beside the tiger sat a dried-up corpse
It seemed to be Lianhua’s corpse Gu Shenas pretty sure that this o
He placed his hand on his saber shaft and thought, “Lianye forced me to take a dead man as my teacher He must be crazy It’s useless to talk to such a lunatic It looks like I can only kill hiet out of here”</e killer was doing He directly went over to kneel in front of Lianhua and said respectfully, “Brother Lianhua, I bring the boy to you He’s willing to become a monk and take you as his teacher We can fulfill Lianxin’s wish now”
Gu Shenwei inhaled shallowly and tightly held his saber shaft When he was about to launch an attack, the dried-up corpse suddenly opened his eyes and exclai with this ht He had seen countless dead bodies but had never seen anyone like this monk before He found it hard to believe that so Lianhua’s reply, Lianye, as a very tall and stronglike a baby Lianhua remained unmoved He picked up a paper beside him and meditatively looked at the red characters on it
Gu Shenwei pulled Lianye up fronaled the monk to talk with hi killer outside and told the killer what had happened to Lianhua
“Not long after you wrote down Death Scripture with blood and gave it to Brother Lianhua, he decoded it with the help of the notes left by Tiger Monk, but the first decoded version didn’t make much sense He continued to work on it for some time and successfully decoded the first 1,000 characters of the scripture However, the re part of it was difficult, especially the last 1,000 characters Master Lianhua got stuck there and then he read Lianxin’s notes again and again and often missed meals and sleep,” said Lianye
“One day, he suddenly told me that it was a sin for a monk to be so obsessed with a non-Buddhist scripture He askedObsession and so At that ti Death Scripture, but the next day, I saw that he picked up the scripture again while calling it Nanke Goes Woodchopping Since that day, he’s been studying the scripture at daytiht Gradually, he becomes thinner and thinner from overwork and lack of rest”
“Lianhua is such a doctrinaire person Why does he have to torture himself like that? If he wants to study Death Scripture, he can focus on studying it If he thinks it’s wrong to do so, he can give up,” </eht at thiscame to Leftslope Vihara He heard that the killer had been carried away by a reeted Lianye politely and then chatted casually with the et into trouble, he said goodbye to them and left the place
Lianye had never ht that this rim and hurriedly sent thekiller to become a monk
“I want to read the decoded scripture first,” said Gu Shenwei
“Come on, boy You won’t understand it Even brother Lianhua can’t decipher theof it,” said Lianye
Despite that, the monk still went back into Lianhua’s meditation room and took out several papers, which were filled with small, closely-written characters Gu Shenwei received the papers and then sat on the ground to read the sentences in the scripture: “The soul rises to the Ninth Heaven, and the spirit falls to the Ninth Abysse The living suffer in grief, and the dead settle in peace” The following 300 to 400 characters were similar verses about death After these verses ca the sword technique
Gu Shenas very surprised to discover that both his and Maid Lotus’ understanding of the swordcraft were correct According to the scripture, there were altogether 29 different ways to interpret and ’s Secrets of Love, which was different types of kung fu patched together, all the 29 ways mentioned in Death Scripture focused on swordcraft
The scripture required the practitioners of the sword craft to i opponents ere at least as strong as themselves It also warned that if a practitioner failed to kill a person as strong as hi intent, and that if he failed to so do for a longer time, he would lose his mind and commit suicide
The way to “invincibility” was also the way to “self-destruction” A practitioner of this sword craft ht sooner or later reach a state where he had to kill an opponent as strong as hi himself but was unable to find such a rival
