A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 97 Whack-a-Mole (Added update for the helmsman "The Gentleman Zhu Ziyu")
Things went more smoothly than expected. Elder Zhixi was used to being pampered. He had never been beaten so severely. He soon couldn't survive the punishment and confessed honestly.

It turns out that before Elder Zhixi became a monk, he was once a son of a wealthy family. Later, his family fell into poverty and he lived in Wuyou Cave to survive.

There is already an organization in the Wuyou Cave, and the poor are still at the bottom, but the people who control the poor have become rich.

All we can say is that wherever there are people, there are classes, and where there are classes, there is exploitation.

How could Elder Zhixi endure such a miserable life, so he tried every means to climb up and become a member of the ruling class of Wuyou Cave.

He had read books, and his knowledge was far better than that of ordinary Guizhou people. He quickly stood out among the crowd and met the owner of Wuyou Cave.

But literacy and arithmetic alone were not enough to get him into the position. He had to be useful to the cave master, even irreplaceable, so he racked his brains and opened up a new way of making money for Wuyou.

Not long after, the down-and-out scholar disappeared, and the monk Zhixi from the Daxiangguo Temple appeared in front of people.

With his unique status as a monk, he can often meet the female relatives of wealthy families.

He secretly marked those women who were outstandingly beautiful and did not have a strong background, and secretly guided the people of Guifan Tower to abduct and sell them.

In the past, women in Wuyou Cave were robbed randomly. If they saw a pretty girl on the street, they would take the opportunity to kidnap them.

Not only the quality varies, but also it is easy to offend the family members of important people, causing death in the cave, and they have to bleed heavily to get out.

But now we have Zhixin Monk to conduct preliminary screening, making this industry more stable, safer and with higher returns.

With this, he was valued by the cave master of Wuyou Cave and became the core backbone of Guifan Tower.

And with the support given by Guifan Tower, he gradually became the leader and chief minister from an ordinary monk, and finally became the master and elder of the temple.

I don’t know how many evil things have been done in these decades of “working diligently”.

After the interrogation, all the guards were speechless and said:

"Ri Xie Niang!"

"Compared with this old bald donkey, I am also a good person!"

Li Gui stepped forward, picked the guy up, patted his shoulder and said:

"You're a bald thief, even if you cut him off, it won't be unfair."

"Now you have only one way to survive, and that is to take us down to Wuyou Cave and find the cave owner."

"When we fight, you may be able to escape."

Monk Zhixi was trembling all over, his teeth were chattering, and he just begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"I have long known that I was wrong, and I have thought about quitting, but the cave master is very vicious. Once he joins, he will not be able to quit even if he wants to."

"I was forced to have no choice but to reduce the number of candidates as much as possible, and chant sutras day and night to pray for the murdered woman."

"Pray for blessings? Pray for birds!" Li Gui curled his lips, showing great disdain for the shameless behavior of the old bald donkey.

"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way immediately, otherwise someone will chop you down with an axe."

“A certain family doesn’t raise trash here!”

Because of the lessons learned from the past, the execution of Monk Zhixi this time was very measured and did not affect Monk Zhixi's walking at all.

Monk Zhixi walked in front, Li Gui followed closely behind him to prevent him from being killed, and the others followed behind with hidden swords and shields.

This worry-free cave extends in all directions, with entrances and exits all over the city. Even near the Daxiangguo Temple, there are also sewers that can go underground.

This place is remote and rarely visited. It was originally intended for Monk Zhixi to go down to Wuyou Cave and enjoy it, but now it is convenient for Li Gui and others.

Everyone went underground, lit torches, and looked at the Wuyou Cave. Sure enough, it was a spacious and empty underground city.

It is dark and gloomy here, the air is damp and cold, and although it is paved with bluestones, sewage flows across the place, and a disgusting stench is everywhere.

The surrounding walls are messy, and they are all the remains of the ruined city. They are made of stone and earth, with different heights and irregular positions. There is no pattern at all.

Moss covered the walls, looking like a thick carpet of germs, which was extremely disgusting.

Even if the torch is lit, the vision is still restricted by darkness, and only a short distance can be seen, which makes people feel very depressed and dull.

Different from the hustle and bustle on the ground, Wuyou Cave is quiet, with only the sound of running water in my ears. From time to time, some gravel falls, causing a splash of water, or water drops fall, making a ticking sound, but it is even more lonely. .The firelight swayed and made a "beep" sound, stretching and swaying everyone's shadows, spreading their teeth and claws on the wall, like ghosts, making people's hearts beat faster.

"Straight thief!"

Li Gui covered his nose, spit viciously, and cursed:

"How can you enjoy a place like this?"

"You can't be just plain disgusting, right?"

Monk Zhixi made a grimace and carefully explained:

"My lord, don't worry, this is near a waterway, so of course the smell is a bit unpleasant."

"If you walk a little further, there will be a clean place."

As Monk Zhixi turned east and west, everyone gradually moved away from the drainage network and entered the abandoned underground building areas. As expected, the ground became dry. Although the air was still turbid, the stench was no longer there.

And as you go deeper inward, there are more and more artificial buildings.

None of them are serious buildings. They are obviously hastily built houses, but there are some signs of order.

Humans are indeed lawful creatures.

Li Gui and his group were too conspicuous. They were holding torches high and could be spotted from a distance. They immediately attracted the attention of the people in Gui Fan Tower.

There were faint sounds of footsteps in the darkness. Someone cautiously stood outside the firelight and asked loudly:
"Who is ahead?"

Li Gui took Monk Zhixi out from behind, pushed him forward, and asked him to step forward to answer.

Monk Zhixi read a poem loudly, answered a few commands with the other person, and was gently let go.

The group continued to move forward, and Monk Zhixi explained in a low voice:

"There are often some guests here for entertainment. The surrounding places are not strictly inspected, so it is easy to get in. But it is difficult to go further inside, especially to the cave owner's residence."

"If it were just me, it would be much easier, but there are many people like you. You can tell at a glance that someone is coming, and they will shoot random arrows at you for no reason. Your Majesty, please be careful!"

"If Lao Na is shot to death, it will be difficult to find the cave owner in this complicated underground city."

Li Gui thought for a moment and motioned for everyone to leave. He walked in front with Monk Zhixi, and everyone stayed far behind, waiting for the war to begin before they came over.

The pair of axes were too eye-catching, so he gave them to the people behind him to carry them in pairs. He only held a torch in his hand for lighting.

In this way, when the two of them are bare-handed, the defenders will become much more relaxed.

After walking for a while, the environment became cleaner and tidier. Suddenly someone in the darkness asked coldly:

"Why is this guest not having fun in the front and coming to the back?"

Monk Zhixi looked up to the sky and let out a haha. He kept moving forward without stopping and said:

"I'm wise, I need to meet with the cave master for some urgent matters. Please help me."

In the darkness, an arrow suddenly shot out and landed at the feet of Monk Zhixi. At the same time, a sharp shout came: "Stop, whoever comes!"

Monk Zhixi stood still and said with a smile:
"We are all brothers, so there is no need to be so unkind, right?"

"If you look carefully, I am indeed Zhiqi!"

As he spoke, he turned around and took the torch from Li Gui's hand, bringing it close to his face so that the people inside could see clearly.

The man's voice indeed softened a lot, and he asked softly:
"It turns out that it is really Zen Master Zhixi, but I don't know who is the person behind the Zen Master?"

Monk Zhixi smiled and said: "This is the distinguished guest I invited. I have big business to discuss with the cave master."

The voice said: "This is against the rules. You can go in, but he can't."

Monk Zhixi took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about this for now. I have something to ask for."

"I don't know why?"

"Of course..." Monk Zhixi suddenly dropped the torch, jumped forward suddenly, rolled to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Help!"
