C37 The Cataclysm of the Jianghu

The next day, Shao Jian slept all the way until almost noon. After last night's fierce battle, he went back to his room tired and sleepy, and fell asleep all the way until now, and when he woke up, his entire body was sore. It was probably because of the rain last night.

Upon seeing Shao Jian, the waiter asked with a smile: "Dear guest, why have you taken such a long time to come down?"

Shao Jian smiled faintly: "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night. I've been sleeping all day today, and I've let you down."

The waiter laughed and said, "No, no. Last night, the rain was really too heavy. Furthermore, it was lightning and thunder, which scared me."

Shao Jian laughed, then walked out of the tavern. The rain had stopped, and the dazzling sunlight shone across the land. He took a few deep breaths of the fresh, rain-washed air and walked down the street. On both sides of the street, businessmen were setting up stalls and shouting. There were more and more people on the street. Shao Jian strolled along the way and coincidentally arrived in front of the Ling Feng Inn. It had been a whole morning since he last ate, his stomach was already protesting, so he lifted his feet and walked in. Seeing that today's business was pretty good, and that downstairs was already filled with customers, because Shao Jian had been frequenting this restaurant for the past few days, and had gotten familiar with the waiters here.

Just then, the waiter saw that the regular customer had come, he immediately walked to Shao Jian's side and smiled: "Sir, you're here, what are you eating today?"

Shao Jian said: "It's the same as before, a plate of stewed beef with soy sauce, a plate of fried peanuts, and your signature dish, Stir-Fried fresh meat. In addition, there's a pot of Shaoxing Flower Engraving Wine."

The waiter laughed and said, "Esteemed guest, why do you always come with these things? I've already left the usual seat upstairs for you, this little one will bring the dishes and wine to you in a moment. "

Shao Jian smiled slightly and said: "Thank you, then I'll be going up first."

The waiter smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'll get the kitchen to prepare some for you." With that, he turned around and quickly walked into the inner room. Shao Jian went upstairs, seeing that there were a lot of guests, he walked to the window and sat at a table, after glancing at everyone who was seated, he noticed that many of them were man of the jianghu. Three people sitting on a nearby table caught his attention.

One of the middle-aged men said to the two people beside him in a low voice, "I heard that a few of the martial arts experts were mysteriously killed."

Sitting next to him was a young man in a blue robe. He said, "Many people in the martial arts world have heard of this. It is said that no one has ever seen that mysterious killer. Anyone who has ever seen him is already a dead man."

The other person looked like a Daoist cultivator. He was dressed in a Daoist robe as he said, "I heard that the murderer is not the same person. Sometimes, two or three of them might appear at the same time, or even more.

The first middle-aged man then said, "That's a possibility. I heard that a while ago, a man of the jianghu was also killed by a mysterious killer in an inn of the Xiangyang Manor. It seems that they were all in the same group."

Just then, the waiter walked to Shao Jian's side with the dishes in hand and said: "Sir, your dishes have been prepared, please enjoy your meal."

Shao Jian said: Thank you, I don't have anything else I need, go busy yourself.

The waiter laughed at Shao Jian, then turned and walked downstairs. Shao Jian picked up a plate of the signature dish, Fried Rice with Fried Rice, and saw that there were a lot of ingredients on it, altogether a dozen or so, all of them were made from mixed ingredients of vegetables and meat. No wonder this dish became the signature dish of this place.

At this moment, the middle-aged Daoist at the side said, "A few days ago, I was at the Xiangyang Manor and heard about this matter. At this time, the middle-aged Daoist at the side said," A few days ago, I was at the Xiangyang Manor and I heard about that matter, and because the constables couldn't catch the murderer, they caught the innkeeper and waiter as scapegoats and brought them to the prison.

When Shao Jian heard this, he couldn't help but feel sympathy to the shopkeeper and the waiter for their unfortunate encounters.

At this time, the middle-aged man said, "I heard that the first targets of those mysterious killers were those man of the jianghu in the wilderness. Right now, the entire martial arts forest is shrouded in an aura of fear, those who are slightly weaker would only dare to go out in groups of three to five.

The blue robed young man continued: "Going out in groups of three or five is useless. Those people's martial arts are shockingly high, I don't know where they came from, and they only recently appeared, they don't even have any origins, and how they specially attacked decent people, but the evil person is fine, I can tell that there seems to be some sort of relationship between them."

The Daoist nodded and said, "Hmm, it is very possible that they will be very careful when they leave this place in the future. Otherwise, when have they become the target of their attacks?" The others also nodded their heads in agreement, and then stopped mentioning the matter.

Shao Jian finished his meal and sat for a while longer before leaving the tavern. He strolled along the busiest street in the capital for a while, and then headed straight out of the city, feeling the allure of nature after the rain. Walking aimlessly, his mind kept thinking about what the three people in the inn had said before, and he thought, "According to what they said, these mysterious killers could have some sort of relationship with the mysterious organization, and could even be members of that organization. Unknowingly, Shao Jian had walked into a small alley, and looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, he heard a light noise coming from the grass not far ahead. Shao Jian raised his vigilance and stared at the patch of grass where the sound came from, and shouted loudly: "Who is it, come out!"

Seeing that no one walked out, Shao Jian shouted again: "If you continue hiding there sneakily, don't blame me for being unreasonable."

After a moment no one appeared. He laughed to himself.: "Maybe I am too nervous because of what I have been through. Maybe it is just a small animal."

Thinking about that, he walked over with the black iron sword in his hand. Suddenly, a commotion sounded out in the grass, and his intuition told him that if it was an animal, the noise would not be like this. He suddenly felt that something was off. He raised her sword and jumped to the side of the bush. Clang! With a clear sound, the black iron sword came out of its scabbard, its sword tip pointing towards the grass as it shouted, "Come out."

Shao Jian used the tip of his sword to brush away the weeds, only to see a person lying on the ground. The clothes on his back was already torn, and his back was filled with sword wounds, Shao Jian was shocked and thought: Who did this to him, could it be the mysterious assassin mentioned by the few people in the restaurant, which means that it might have been done by the people from the mysterious organization?

Seeing that the person was still alive, Shao Jian extended his hand and turned him over. Unconsciously, he was greatly shocked, and his body retreated a step, only to see that the person's face was covered with wounds made by swords. He walked forward, squatted down, and probed his aura. It was as if he was on the verge of death, and if he used his inner force to treat his injuries, it would definitely not work. Moreover, it would shake his already weak meridians. Pushing him up, half sitting on the grass, one hand on the man's back, he slowly transferred a gentle force into his body. However, whether or not this could save him, the probability was only one percent, because he had already lost too much blood. After a moment, the person struggled to open his eyes.

Shao Jian withdrew his hand to support him, and asked: "Who is this friend? "Why are you so injured?"

That person laughed as he opened his pale lips, and said in an intermittent voice: "I am Shaolin … Pi Pi Pi Pi... (TL: Pi - Pi - Pi - Pi - Pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi - pi. Family disciple, an hour ago … As soon as he passed by, he was met by two masked men … "It's been intercepted."

When Shao Jian heard that he was a disciple of Shaolin, his heart couldn't help but shake, he never thought that these people would actually dare to attack a disciple of Central Plains Wulin's number one sect, looks like their strength was not to be underestimated. Then, he asked: "Who are these people who covered up? Since you are Shao Lindizi, then why did they stop you from gaining an advantage? And why did you get injured like this? "

That Shao Lindizi said weakly: "I don't know who exactly they are, but those two are both wearing green tight uniforms and there is a strange pattern on their shoulders. When they stopped me, they made me help them do the betrayal of Shaolin, and they wanted me to join their group, saying that in the future, the entire martial arts world will be theirs, and when they are refused by me, they would scold me loudly and say that those who go according to their rules, those who go against them will perish, and after that a fierce battle occurred with them."

Shao Jian said angrily: "I never thought that they would be so despicable and shameless, actually forcing others to join their organisation."

It seemed that Shao Lindizi was too heavily injured and could not hold on for much longer. Shao Jian once again transferred a surge of Innate Qi into his body, then opened his mouth and let out a weak voice. Shao Jian hurriedly moved his ear closer, only to hear him say: "I'm almost at my limit, my friend is a good person who wants to sit to the end, do me a favor?"

Shao Jian answered: "Since you are Shao Lindizi, then we are on the same side. If there's anything you want to say, I will definitely help you."

Shao Lindizi's face revealed a miserable smile, and said: "You can definitely help me with this favor, and that is to ask you to go to Shaolin to inform the Sect Leader, and for them to be more careful, the two masked men said that they will loot the Central Plains Wulin, and I am afraid that something bad will happen to Shaolin. "In my opinion, those two masked men are only second-rate experts who belong to their organization. They are already so powerful. If all of the experts from their organization were to come out, it seems that the martial world will become chaotic." After saying this, he began to pant heavily. It seemed like he was about to die soon.

Shao Jian said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you pass the message to them. Where did those two people go and how long have they been gone for?"

's breathing hastened, and he said intermittently: "We're going into the forest, we left just before you came. Thank you." With that, he closed his eyes, turned his head to the side, and expressed his gratitude to Shao Jian with a smile.

Shao Jian sighed, put down Shao Lindizi's body with a heavy heart, and used some weeds to cover himself as he thought: "Mysterious organization, no matter how mysterious and powerful you are, I will definitely find all of you." With a flick of his body, he rushed towards the dense forest where the two masked men had disappeared. He wanted to take revenge for the wulin homology s that had been killed during this period of time.
