Chapter 27: Money for Protection, Guanyin Wearing Armor

South of the town, in the dirt pit.

The yellow talisman pasted on Shopkeeper Ma's face suddenly collapsed, his eyes widened and his mouth opened, his nostrils dilated.

All the kerosene lamps surrounding the pit went out.

Ever since they learned the old eunuch's background from Zhou Fuguan, they had set this strategy.

Using the coffin pit, the jade coffin, and the connection between the old eunuch, they used Maoshan magic to suppress him from afar, making the old eunuch fall into a deep sleep.

Seeing Chu Tianshu and Zhong Jinqiu took the opportunity to prune the old eunuch's wings and kill the other experts in the theater troupe.

The whole plan was quite smooth for the most part, and now it was the last, most critical step.

"This old thing is a bit too fierce!"

Shopkeeper Ma panted twice, climbed out of the dirt pit, picked up his bamboo box, and ran toward the town.

Meng Lianfa and the others looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and followed.

The sun was still in the east.

The bright white sunlight, the crystal rain threads.

The rain threads gathered at the eaves, and when the water droplets fell, they reflected a twisted old face in the hall.

"Who fired the foreign gun?!"

The old eunuch's face twitched, the deformed bullet squeezed out of his face, fell to the ground, and his eyeballs trembled, already staring at the two people outside the hall.

"Ah!!!"

A strange scream pierced the eardrums, and the two servants in the hall showed painful expressions, covering their ears.

The old eunuch was like a large shrimp, suddenly flicking.

However, a shrimp flicks backward, but this flick of his, using the shoulder blades on both sides to hit the wall for leverage, shot his whole body forward.

His upper body tilted forward particularly sharply. If he were in a static state, he would definitely have smashed into the ground.

But because he was running forward wildly, the incoming rain threads and airflow formed a balance with the angle of his forward tilt.

With a whoosh of wind, the old eunuch was already on the stage.

Seeing Chu Tianshu and Zhong Jinqiu, although both were shocked by the scene of the enemy catching the bullet with his face, their response at this moment was not the slightest bit slow, and they both sprang to the left and right, dodging the old eunuch's pounce.

Seeing Chu Tianshu flashed to the left, turned his head, swung his arm to the right, and slashed with his knife.

Zhong Jinqiu flashed to the right, twisted his waist, turned around to the left, and stabbed with the broken bamboo.

The knife slashed on the old eunuch's back, making a clanging sound, and even shattered the brocade robe he was wearing, iron pieces flying everywhere.

The broken bamboo stabbed toward the old eunuch's ear, but was grabbed by the old eunuch with one hand.

Zhong Jinqiu's force was fierce, and at this moment, it was also highlighted.

The tough green bamboo pole split into eight pieces, squeezed, bent, and became like the frame of a large lantern by the force at both ends.

The old eunuch turned his head to the left, determined that this threat was greater, rotated his waist, and pulled his arm.

The broken bamboo pieces flew toward Seeing Chu Tianshu behind him, all straightened, and shot out.

The old eunuch himself, punching like a cannon, hit Zhong Jinqiu.

In an instant, because the old eunuch's upper garment was completely shattered, Zhong Jinqiu saw the tattoo on the other's chest.

That beast-head tattoo was entirely composed of coin patterns.

The eyebrows on the left and right were knife coins, the square-hole gold coins were the pupils, the gold and silver ingots were the bridge of the nose, and dozens of small copper coins were overlapped and connected to form a thick-lipped, large mouth.

People die for money, birds die for food, gold coin divine power, buying life and crossing the dead.

Five Demon Arts, Gold Coin Body Armor!

To practice this method, one must have a sufficiently wealthy family background, set up a trap to let people whose birth dates match the yang day and yang time obtain windfall wealth, and then open an altar to perform magic.

Within ten days or half a month, the person who obtained the windfall wealth will have their heart and marrow dried up, and all their essence will be bought away by the windfall wealth, falling onto the person practicing the evil method.

The essence of outsiders is incompatible with the practitioner themselves and cannot be stored, but it can be draped on the body surface, stacked multiple times, to form an invisible body armor.

This set of evil arts, practiced to the profound, is only equivalent to having a layer of steel skin.

Not afraid of ordinary sharp weapons, but if one encounters a blunt force impact, or methods like twisting joints, one will still die.

Just that shot earlier.

A simple Five Demon sorcerer, hit in the face by a bullet, even if the skin and flesh damage is not great, the brain would have to be stunned.

But this old eunuch was a person who practiced both fist techniques and magic arts.

Zhou Fuguan said that the old eunuch had practiced fist and foot techniques for most of his life, and when the Forbidden City was attacked back then, he obtained a set of "Golden Bottle Precious Medicine" treasured in the secret treasury of the Qing Dynasty, took it and practiced it, and successfully practiced the Five Demon evil arts.

What kind of combat power he could have after practicing both fist and magic arts.

Xu and Zhou only had an estimate, and hadn't really tried it recently.

Now it seems that at least in terms of old face defense, it was a bit beyond Zhou's estimate.

Bang bang bang bang bang!!

The old eunuch's punches hit a series of afterimages.

Zhong Jinqiu retreated three steps, not knowing how many punches he had blocked with his hands.

The cloth robe shattered, and the sleeves flew away.

In this short moment, red swelling had already appeared on Zhong Jinqiu's arms, and he couldn't help but let out a low roar.

"Guanyin Wearing Armor!"

The old eunuch's fist technique turned out to be the realm of "Guanyin Bone." When a fist master who has practiced this realm clashes with others, others have a part of their limbs damaged, while he shares the force throughout his body, so he is more unscrupulous and fierce when fighting.

Not to mention that this old eunuch also has the protection of the Gold Coin Body Armor. These two paths can be said to be an excellent combination.

This is the true power of the fusion of fist techniques and evil arts.

That leopard cat warrior was naturally incomparable.

Even Seeing Chu Tianshu, his spirit communication magic lacked sufficient lethality and was not enough to fuse with fist techniques to produce such a good effect.

However, after Seeing Chu Tianshu dodged those bamboo pieces, he immediately pounced and grabbed.

He originally wanted to kick the lower crotch, but thinking that the old eunuch's lower crotch was probably also extraordinarily defended.

So this pounce, long arms extended, grabbed the white hair floating behind the old eunuch's head.

The old eunuch had already beaten Zhong Jinqiu to reveal a flaw and was about to kill him, when his head suddenly swayed backward.

"Presumptuous!"

He gritted his teeth and pulled forward, and all the white hair broke from the middle.

Zhong Jinqiu spat out at this moment.

A fist master who has achieved "Food as Immortal" can spit out qi from his mouth, and within half a meter, hit people so that their eyes feel as if they were hit by a stick, sour and painful.

What Zhong Jinqiu spat out was not qi, but a fish bone.

That was a fish bone he had held in his mouth when he was cooking in the morning.

Methods like hiding needles or razor blades in the mouth are easily seen as wrong by old Jianghu people.

Such a fish bone is extremely difficult to see.

Zhong Jinqiu had practiced this unique skill specifically when he was young. He held the fish bone in the morning, and after eating and talking for so long, there was no difference at all.

The fish bone flashed and nailed onto the old eunuch's left eyelid.

The old thing closed his eyes very quickly, and it seemed there was protection on his eyelids, but it was much thinner than other places, and he couldn't help but groan in pain.

Zhong Jinqiu's palms, when he closed his eyes, were printed on his chest.

These hands were shot out so fast that there was no wind, and until they hit the person's chest, it sounded like hitting a thick cloth bag, very muffled and low.

Taiji Immortal Strength, Pushing the Moon Through the Window!

But at the same time, the old eunuch's double fists hit Zhong Jinqiu's shoulders, knocking him flying four or five meters.

Seeing Chu Tianshu, behind the old eunuch, saw with his own eyes two blurred palm prints protruding from the old eunuch's back skin.

He glared, spat out a sound, stomped his feet, and pushed his palms, both hands hitting those two palm prints exactly.

The old eunuch also flew out with a thud, flying further than Zhong Jinqiu, smashing into the courtyard wall, and smashing a hole in the wall with his head.

"Tai!"

As soon as the old eunuch's feet touched the ground, he pulled his head out of the wall, turned his head fiercely, and stared at the enemy.

Zhong Jinqiu stood up, but his arms were hanging down like dead snakes, his shoulders stinging, and he couldn't exert strength for a while.

Seeing Chu Tianshu arrived behind Zhong Jinqiu, swept four needles behind his back, and blocked the pain.

But looking at the acupuncture points, purple-red blood actually seeped out. This injury would not be relieved for a while.

"Heh, hehe!!"

The old eunuch's eyeballs swept, and sticky blood flowed down his mouth, "Immortal Strength, after penetrating the body protection method, there is only two points of residual strength."

"That stinky kid, has both penetrating strength and brute strength, and the timing was just right, but it really hurt my lungs."

Originally in fist techniques, there are a few relationships of mutual generation and restraint. Guanyin Bone restrains Dragon Entwining the Body, and Food as Immortal restrains Guanyin Bone.

The old eunuch relied on the Gold Coin Body Armor to overcome the restraint relationship, and in the blink of an eye, he severely injured Zhong Jinqiu.

Seeing Chu Tianshu was quite special. It could be said that he was ninety percent Dragon Entwining the Body and forty percent Food as Immortal, and he also hit the old eunuch by surprise.

"Experience, no, just experience, Uncle Zhong also has it, why doesn't he have that taste?"

Seeing Chu Tianshu's thoughts flashed rapidly, his left hand raised, his fingers like a sword, standing in front of him.

"It's dual cultivation!"

The instant switching of the enlightened state, changing from inward to outward.

Seeing Chu Tianshu's eyes were moist and bright, and a layer of extremely light, extremely faint dust mist seemed to ripple under his feet.

Forming a perfect circle with a radius of five meters that had never really existed.

The old eunuch's expression sank.

"Experience, no, that's not it. Zhong Shu has experience too, so why doesn't he have that kind of flavor?"

Seeing Chu Tianshu's thoughts flashed rapidly; he raised his left hand, fingers joined like a sword, and held it upright before him.

"It's dual cultivation!"

An instantaneous switch in the state of opening the apertures, changing from inward-facing to outward-facing.

Seeing Chu Tianshu's eyes were moist and bright, and beneath his feet, a layer of extremely light, extremely faint dust-mist seemed to ripple outward.

Forming a perfect circle with a radius of five meters that had not truly existed before.

The old eunuch's expression sank.
