Chapter 181 Put the Puzzle Pieces Together and the Decisive Battle Is About to Begin!

Fang Zheng passed away?

Hearing the news brought by Fang Sheng, Zhang Fang couldn't believe his ears, and said that he heard wrongly: "Master Fang Sheng, what did you say?"

Fang Sheng smiled bitterly and then said: "My senior brother, Master Fang Zheng, was attacked by Dongfang Bubai last night and has passed away."

"How is this possible?" Although Fang Sheng had confirmed it again, Zhang Fang still felt that this matter was too unbelievable.

Long before he set off, he had set up a stone forest formation around the Shaolin Temple. Its sophistication was comparable to the Peach Blossom Formation on Peach Blossom Island, but it was by no means something that ordinary people could easily break through.

In addition, there are many masters in the Shaolin Temple, including Fang Sheng and Chongxu, as well as the Shaolin Temple's own Arhat formation to protect the mountain. Fang Zheng himself is a master who is proficient in the "Yi Jin Jing". Under such three layers of protection, let alone Dongfang Bubai, even if Dugu Qiubai was resurrected, he would not be able to break into the Shaolin Temple and kill Fang Zheng under such circumstances!

With Fang Zheng's old yin, all kinds of low-key personalities who hide behind the scenes and do things, there is no way he would go out and kill someone on his own initiative.

Zhang Fang really couldn't understand how Dongfang Bubai managed to sneak Fang Zheng to death under such tight protection!

"This is indeed the case." Fang Sheng explained helplessly: "At that time, senior brother abbot was chanting sutras in the Zen room, and was suddenly attacked by Dongfang Bubai. However, senior brother's counterattack before his death also hurt Dongfang Bubai."

"Thankfully, when Taoist Master Chongxu and I were alerted by the sound of fighting in the Zen room and rushed there, Dongfang Bubai did not dare to fight and quickly retreated from the secret passage."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid our decent alliance will suffer heavy losses from his raid this time."

After a slight pause, Fang Sheng continued: "Taoist Master Chongxu and I were afraid of Dongfang Bubai's martial arts. In addition, it was pitch dark in the secret passage. We were worried that we might make a mistake, so we did not pursue it. We just tried again afterwards. To seal the secret passage is to mend the situation. Amitabha!"

From Fang Sheng's series of descriptions, Zhang Fang clearly grasped a key message.

Secret passages!

In the Shaolin Temple, is there a secret passage that can bypass the stone forest array and lead directly to the bottom of the mountain?

It seems there is!

In the original work, the group of demons and ghosts led by Linghu Chong successfully retreated from the Shaolin Temple through that secret passage, surrounded by the allied forces of Shaolin, Wudang and the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

But the problem is that this plot did not happen in the copy world they experienced.

So, how did Dongfang Bubai know the existence of that secret passage, and even find the location of the secret passage accurately?

With doubts, three people and one monkey followed Fang Sheng back to the Shaolin Temple.

In fact, Ping Yizhi's residence was originally near Songshan Mountain, less than a day's journey from Shaoshi Mountain. The three of them set out in the evening and rushed back to the Shaolin Temple before dawn the next day.

After checking the secret passage that had been completely blocked, he made sure that something similar would not happen again. Everyone attended the funeral of Master Fang Zheng and witnessed the whole process of the cremation of the master's body and the collection of relics.

When Fang Zheng died, Fang Sheng took over as the abbot of the Shaolin Temple.

But as a new host, he obviously cannot compare with his senior brother in terms of status and personal aura. Naturally, this also reduced Shaolin's status in this decent alliance to a point where it was slightly weaker than Wudang and Wuyue.

From the original top of the three parties, it suddenly fell to the bottom of the three parties.

Of course, the foundation of the Shaolin Temple is still there, and this change in status is just that when the three parties discuss important matters, Fang Sheng appears slightly weaker, and the opinions he puts forward are far less weighty than Fang Zheng.

When it comes to profit distribution, no one dares to ignore the feelings of Shaolin.

On the second day after Fang Sheng succeeded to the throne, the three parties held another meeting. Its general theme is basically to learn from experience and lessons, and then proceed steadily and so on. It focuses on the defense work in the Shaolin Temple, and has made some new improvements.

After the meeting, Zhang Fang and Xing Ruyu returned to the guest room prepared for them in Shaolin Temple.

Seeing Zhang Fang's gloomy look, the latter couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what are you so worried about? Why don't you tell me and let me help you think of a solution. Although my wisdom is far inferior. You, if one person is short-term and two people are long-term, maybe some different ideas will suddenly pop up?"

Hearing this, Zhang Fang sighed softly and said, "I still can't figure out how Dongfang Bubai knew the location of the secret passage in Shaolin Temple. I only learned this after talking to Fang Sheng and Chongxu before. I know that the existence of that secret passage is top-secret information in the Shaolin Temple. Except for the two masters Fang Zheng and Fang Sheng, no one else knows about it. Afterwards, I criticized Taoist Master Xu and found that even he did not I know that there is a secret passage in the Shaolin Temple that leads directly to the bottom of the mountain."

Hearing this, Xing Ruyu explained casually: "Maybe he bought the information from other reincarnations."

Zhang Fang shook his head again: "Don't forget, that guy followed us into this world through a bounty order mission. Before entering here, even you and I didn't know that the salvation mission we are about to face will be in What happened in the copy world of "The Swordsman", how could he know about it in advance?"

"Furthermore, such top-secret information can only be mastered by some big forces. And according to the information I got from Feng Huaxueyue, Bloody Finger does not belong to any force, and is the same as you and me. The one who walks alone in reincarnation.”

Hearing what Zhang Fang said, Xing Ruyu also felt that something was fishy. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head helplessly.

At this time, Zhang Fang changed the subject: "Speaking of which, maybe I'm a bit over the top. Forget it, let's not think about it for now. By the way, have you checked all the idle books you brought back from Ping Yizhi's residence? , have you found any information related to Snow Wolf Gallbladder and Hantan White Fish?"

Xing Ruyu shook his head gently and said firmly: "No."

Hearing this, Zhang Fang just nodded slightly and said nothing more.

After all, it only makes sense that it is not found.

Then Dongfang Bubai asked Ping Yizhi to search for clues about two precious medicinal materials. If he didn't get the answer, how could he kill Ping Yizhi so easily?

Since he did this, it means that Ping Yizhi has indeed found the clue and presented it to Dongfang Bubai. So as long as Dongfang Bubai is not stupid, he will definitely take away the books with relevant clues after killing people, instead of just tearing out two pages and leaving clues for others.

But this way, it can be more and more certain that the other party is indeed looking for these two things.

"Creak!..."

At this time, the door of the guest room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and immediately after, Huo'er's petite figure was seen jumping in.

Seeing this, Zhang Fang couldn't help but his face darkened: "Huo'er, it's so dangerous now, where did you go to play?"

"Dharma Courtyard." Huo'er seemed to know that Zhang Fang was not really angry, and replied confidently: "The trees in Damo Courtyard are much taller than what I have seen before. They are just on the cliff. The huge word 'Buddha' has faded so badly that no trace of red can be seen anymore."

Hearing this, Zhang Fang suddenly thought of something. He grabbed the little guy, held its shoulders tightly with both hands and asked, "Huo'er, what did you say!?"

Huo'er was startled by his sudden move. However, the little guy was psychic and knew that Zhang Fang meant no harm, so he quickly regained his composure, and then repeated what he had just said.

At this moment, Zhang Fang finally showed a look of ecstasy on his face. He then raised Huo'er high, and after spinning around in place for a few times, he said excitedly: "I figured it out! I have finally figured everything out now." ! Hahaha... I figured it out!"

Seeing Zhang Fang suddenly showing such a childish look, Xing Ruyu couldn't help but reveal a strange look on his face: "Brother, what have you figured out?"

"Everything!" Zhang Fang then put down Huo'er, and his eyes shone with extremely confident light: "I have even thought about how to push Dongfang Bubai to an inescapable point and completely get rid of this henchman. Big trouble!"

From Huo'er's seemingly unrelated words, Zhang Fang noticed a very important piece of information. In addition to the buildings and buildings, the Bodhidharma Academy in the world of "Swordsman" is actually related to "Tianlong" in many places. The world of "Eight Parts" is no different.

Does this mean that in the world view of gold martial arts, the world background and world map can be used universally?

If this is true, then it is not surprising that Dongfang Bubai knows where the secret passage of Shaolin Temple is.

Don’t forget, that guy on the second and third floors of the Samsara Tower is running the copy world of "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword"!

In the original work of "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slaying", Mingjiao's Houtu Banner tried to rescue the golden retriever lion king Xie Xun during the Lion Slaying Conference by digging tunnels. In the end, he accidentally rescued Kong Wen, the abbot of Shaolin who was imprisoned by Cheng Kun.

If the story background of the gold martial arts world is connected with the world map, then this secret passage is probably the one dug by the Ming Cult!

If this is the case, is it also the same in other places?

For example, some special maps may have been abandoned for a long time, but the mountains and landscapes have not changed.

In this way, combined with what Dongfang Bubai is looking for next...

Thinking of this, Zhang Fang immediately turned to Xing Ruyu and said, "Junior sister, it seems that in order to get rid of Dongfang Bubai, the last link of the puzzle has to fall on you."

Xing Ruyu heard this and immediately said: "Senior brother, if you have anything to do, just give me your orders, I will listen to you in everything!"

Zhang Fang nodded with satisfaction: "I want you to take me to a place immediately."

Xing Ruyu: "Where?"

Zhang Fang: "Desolate Valley!"
