I killed the film and television world

Chapter 399: Scholar, Swordsman, and Bandit
The mountain road is dilapidated and dark clouds cover the sky.

Heavy rain falls
Song Ren slowed down his pace, holding an umbrella and walking alone in the rain, saying, "I heard there is a Lanruo Temple outside Guobei County. It is said that there are evil spirits haunting the temple."

The tiger demon followed humbly, his tone full of caution: "Sir, you are talking about the thousand-year-old locust tree spirit, right?"

Song Ren walked towards the long-abandoned official road not far ahead.

There is also a dilapidated thatched pavilion there.

As he walked, he said, "Tell me about the news about the locust tree spirit."

Tiger demon: "My lord, I don't know much. I only know that the locust tree spirit calls herself Grandma, and she is a big locust tree with a thousand years of Taoism."

"Its roots are intertwined underground, entrenched deep in the area around Lanruo Temple. It is said that every blade of grass and every tree within a few miles can be seen by its eyes."

"Moreover, the tree demon often uses the lonely ghosts in the mass graves to deceive passers-by and suck their yang energy and blood for food."

Song Ren sat down on the stone pier under the thatched pavilion.

Shaking off the rain on the yin-yang umbrella, he looked at the rain outside the pavilion and said, "That tree demon... is it powerful?"

The tiger demon thought for a moment and said, "It's not about how powerful it is. The tree demon is still a tree demon after all. Although its Taoism is quite profound, it has already taken root in that area and it is difficult for it to leave Lanruo Temple too far."

"So, we just need to go around that area to avoid running into it."

"But if we rashly enter the territory of the tree demon, it will be very troublesome."

While speaking, it noticed Song Ren's gaze and suddenly looked in a certain direction to the northwest.

The tiger demon looked over.

But suddenly, from the corner of the official road in the distance, a staggering figure with wet clothes rushed out.

The woman was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Her white skirt was already stained with messy spots of mud, which were wet by the rain and stuck to her snow-white skin vaguely.

Her steps were unsteady and one of her embroidered shoes was lost.

The white and tender feet had already been rubbed red by the stones on the official road.

The originally jet-black bun was now wet and stuck to the temples on both sides.

That mature and beautiful fair face seemed to be filled with anxiety and despair.

As she turned off the official road, she suddenly saw two figures under a thatched pavilion in front of her.

It was like seeing an oasis in the desert, and her eyes suddenly brightened: "Master, help me~!"

Most of the urgent cries for help were drowned out by the dripping rain.

At the back of the official road, six or seven bandits wearing simple leather armor followed closely behind them.

Each of them was holding a shiny sword, wearing tattered clothes, and was chasing after us in the mud.

The leading bandit wore a black eye patch on his right eye.

The other eye was full of greed, as if he wanted to devour alive the weak body that was vaguely visible in front of him.

He excitedly raised his knife and chased her while laughing strangely: "Little girl, you can't escape today!"

The woman finally stumbled into the thatched pavilion, immediately knelt down at Song Ren's feet, and begged in a low voice: "Please save my life, young master!"

Following closely behind him, six or seven bandits came up with swords and knives to surround him.

Compared to the muddy and ragged bandits.

In the thatched pavilion, Song Ren, sitting steadily on a stone pier, wearing a clean cloth shirt and trousers, without even a speck of mud or water on his body, looked like a banished immortal.

Plus there’s the tall and strong humanoid tiger monster next to him.

Especially the tiger ears on the top of the head that had not yet faded, and the colorful tiger tail, which made the greedy bandits a little hesitant for a moment.

The situation was a little stalemate.

The tiger demon looked at Song Ren: "Sir..."

Before she finished speaking, the woman who was kneeling on the ground begged in a soft voice: "Sir, my husband is a legal advisor in the county government..."

"Shut up!"

Song Ren interrupted her calmly.

His eyes passed the bandits in a stalemate outside the pavilion and fell on the mountain path on the other side.

There, a scholar who had just walked over the mountain path happened to slip and fall, rolling straight down the side of the low mountain path.

It rolled all the way to a place not far outside the pavilion.

The scholar spat several times and climbed out of the mud in a clumsy manner.

Just when I was about to complain, I suddenly noticed the extremely strange atmosphere around me.

I saw bandits with weapons surrounding the thatched pavilion.

He subconsciously shrank his neck, and said awkwardly, "My dear friends, I, I seem to have taken a wrong turn. I will take my leave now—"

Then, a cold big knife was placed across his neck.

The leading one-eyed bandit forced the scholar to retreat, with a slightly sinister smile on his face: "What kind of day is this? Usually, there are only a few living people on this mountain road for half a month, but today it is really lively."

The scholar was forced to retreat back into the thatched pavilion with a pale face, fear in his eyes.

The one-eyed bandit's gaze fell on Song Ren and the tiger demon again, with a slight hesitation.

He was still more alert in his heart, and finally he gave his two men a fierce look:

on!
Kill them!

When the time comes, I'll let you two drink the second mouthful of this young lady's soup!

Such a top-notch woman is most likely to get into trouble in troubled times.

The robbers outside the pavilion were on guard with knives in hand. Two of them stepped out from the crowd and slowly approached with knives in hand.

The woman shrank back in fear and grabbed Song Ren's trouser legs. She raised her head, and her eyes were already wet under her beautiful face: "Sir~"

Song Ren suddenly stood up from the stone pier.

In an instant, the two robbers who were approaching just now suddenly became highly alert with knives in hand.

The woman took the opportunity to stagger to her feet and hid at the back of the pavilion.

Song Ren ignored the others and picked up the Yin-Yang umbrella beside him. After opening the ribs, he simply said, as if talking to himself, "It's time for a snack."

The bandits and the scholar in the pavilion were all stunned and had not yet figured out who he was talking to.

The next moment, countless bloody streaks suddenly spread out from under the oil-paper umbrella.

He grabbed the woman who was hiding behind and whose dress was already wet.

Then, a sharp and piercing roar broke through the sky.

At the same time, a large amount of scarlet blood pulled the woman into the Yin-Yang umbrella in the blink of an eye, and she disappeared completely.

This scene made everyone else stunned.

The scene was obviously beyond most people's expectations.

Only the tiger demon still lowered his head cautiously, not daring to breathe loudly:

Damn that bone demon...

A bunch of bandits isn't enough to satisfy you, why do you have to provoke this ruthless guy?

But what exactly is inside that umbrella?
The bone demon, who had practiced Taoism for hundreds of years, was devoured without even struggling...

Outside the thatched pavilion, the bandits seemed to have finally come to their senses. They screamed in fear one after another, then turned around and ran for their lives!
Broad daylight!

Damn it! ! !
This time, he didn't wait for Song Ren to speak.

The tiger demon felt what he meant.

The upper body returned to the form of a majestic beast, shook its furry tiger head, and then grinned.

The sharp fangs that were biting together were still stained with crystal saliva, and a cold light flashed on the tips of the teeth!

Bang!
The tiger demon suddenly rushed into the rain, like a shadow, and chased after it at a rapid speed.

With just one bite, he easily bit a bandit's neck in half.

The head on the broken neck rolled silently to the ground with the heavy rain.

A savage afterimage flashed by! The tiger demon rushed towards the next bandit with great ferocity.

The sharp claws cut open the man's chest like a knife, and the ruptured organs and intestines were flowing together with the blood, flesh and mud.

The scene was bloody and tragic at once!

The scholar was already stunned.

I originally thought that it was bad enough to run into bandits on this trip to collect debts, but now it seems that there are even monsters...

Six of the seven fleeing bandits were bitten to death by the tiger demon in a flash.

When it caught up to the last one, the tiger demon suddenly slapped the bandit's head with its claws.

Bang!
The human heads were like watermelons, exploding into bloody fireworks in the heavy rain.

Because of the direction, most of the blood, brain matter, bone mud and flesh were splattered all over the scholar who was unable to dodge.

That pale and frail face was now covered with red and white "tofu brain".

The scholar was trembling all over, his eyes wide open, and he stood there in a daze as if he had lost his soul.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

He wiped the red and white liquid off his face with trembling hands. After seeing clearly, he suddenly bent down and started to retch violently.

The tiger demon changed from a half-orc to a human form again, and then returned to Song Ren obediently.

Song Ren glanced at the scholar and said to the tiger demon, "You just scared someone. Go and apologize."

The tiger demon glanced at the scholar with some displeasure.

The scholar immediately stood up, shook his head and smiled awkwardly: "No, no need, I'm fine."

While speaking, he also carefully hid outside the thatched pavilion, enduring the constant washing of the rain and keeping a safe distance.

At the same time, a group of fleeing bandits rushed over on the official road.

Unlike the previous times, this time these bandits were the ones being hunted.

A tall and strong swordsman in the back was swinging his sword and chopping off a head without hesitation.

As the group fled, they soon arrived at the thatched pavilion.

The swordsman's moves are fierce and brutal, and almost every move can kill or maim!
The bright red blood seemed to be dyeing the rain on the ground red.

The swordsman was slashing and killing as he pleased, while angrily cursing: "You even dare to steal my money, you are courting death!!!"

Song Ren had already sat back on the stone pier in the pavilion.

The tiger demon stood guard on the side, and when one of the bandits tried to escape, he suddenly slapped him and beat most of the man's body, turning it into a ball of blood and flesh!
The large amount of blood splattered all over the head and face of the swordsman behind him.

It also made the swordsman, who was in the heat of killing, calm down completely in an instant.

A hint of surprise appeared on the murderous middle-aged face at this moment.

Then he noticed the burly tiger monster in the shape of a human in the thatched pavilion.

His eyes fell cautiously on the pair of animal ears and the colorful tiger tail.

Especially after meeting that pair of beast eyes, the swordsman felt his blood flowing backwards in an instant, and his limbs became a little stiff.

Song Ren: "You scared people again. You should apologize."

The tiger demon's golden-brown eyes stared straight at the swordsman.

The swordsman shook his head quickly, his face stiff, and said, "No, it's okay. I was just being rude."

He had been wandering around the world for many years and had seen some evil spirits, so he was not too afraid of them.

But the slap from the tiger demon just now still scared him.

Most of the bandit's body disappeared. He died on the spot, and most of his blood, flesh, bones and mud were splattered all over his body.

The swordsman originally wanted to rest in the thatched pavilion after killing the man.

But now, he chose to stand outside the pavilion cautiously.

Just like the scholar caught in the rain on the other side, a strange picture like door gods on the left and right was formed.

When the rain was a little lighter, Song Ren stood up with an umbrella and said to the swordsman standing in the rain with his sword in his hand: "Brother, what is your name?"

The swordsman was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

The tiger demon raised his voice and said unkindly: "My Lord is asking you a question, are you deaf?"

The swordsman did not dare to be arrogant, and said dutifully: "Xiahou."

Song Ren: ...As expected.

He looked at the scholar on the other side.

The scholar shrank his neck and lowered his head, saying, "I, I am Ning Caichen."

Song Ren said nothing more.

He simply took out a few purses from the corpses on the ground, poured out some copper coins and silver pieces inside, threw the purses away, and left with the tiger demon.

It was not until he left that Xiahou Swordsman took a deep breath and spat out a mouthful of rainwater to the side: "Damn it, I can still encounter monsters in a place like this. My luck today is really bad!"

He took out a steamed bun from his arms and took a few bites. Seeing Ning Caichen standing in the rain beside him, looking weak and indifferent, he felt that there was some sympathy in the scene.

He was so scared just now that he didn't dare to step in.

So, he took out another steamed bun and raised his chin to Ning Caichen: "Hey!"

Ning Caichen turned around.

Xiahou threw one at him, not caring whether he ate it or not. He sorted out the purse he had snatched back, then hurriedly rushed into the rain while biting the steamed bun.

He also wants to fight with swordsmen to regain his title as the best swordsman in the world.

I can’t beat the monster, but can I beat you, Yan Chixia?

This time I will definitely regain my number one position in the world!

Guobei County

The tiger demon was already wearing a hat that covered his ears, and he used the colorful tiger tail as a waist rope, tied around his waist.

This actually covered up some traces of the monster, and it was following Song Ren carefully.

As soon as you enter Guobei County, you are caught off guard by the barbaric atmosphere that hits you.

On the busy streets, you can see gangsters dressed in armor everywhere, holding wanted criminal reward notices and looking for people on the streets for comparison.

They were not really chasing wanted criminals, but were looking for some people with similar looks so that they could be sent to the authorities to report, just to earn a reward.

This style of work is well known nowadays.

The cells for wrongful imprisonment have long been filled with people.

This era, beneath the cold humor in the movie, is extremely dark.

The tiger demon wearing a conical hat is particularly eye-catching in this situation.

As soon as he came in, he was stared at by several gangsters: "Hey, stop!"

One of them grabbed the tiger demon's shoulders and lectured him, "Wearing a bamboo hat in broad daylight is shameful. Take the bamboo hat away—"

Before he could finish his words, the tiger demon had already lifted it up a little with his fingertips, revealing only a shadow under the hat, and the pair of golden beast eyes were shocking.

With just one glance, he swallowed back all the words that man was about to say.

Song Ren and the tiger demon left one after another.

We stopped at a small shop and ordered a steamed bun with vegetables and a side dish.

The tiger demon sat beside him. Seeing Song Ren eating slowly, he hesitated for a moment before asking curiously, "Sir, where are we going next?"

Song Ren: "Lanruo Temple."

The tiger demon looked up: "Ah? Going to Lanruo Temple? That's the territory of the tree demon."

Song Ren: "Yes, this is what I'm looking for."
