Chapter 45: Eliminating Evil and Doing Good

"oops"

Wu Song recognized Yang Chang in the moonlight, and quickly dropped his sword and clenched his hands, saying excitedly: "Thank God, Sanlang, stop it, otherwise Wu Er will regret it for the rest of his life. By the way, what errand did you receive? Why didn't you have a companion and travel at night?"

"Hey." Yang Chang smiled bitterly and replied, "This is a long story. What are you doing here, brother?"

"I'm."

"Who is making noise outside the temple?"

Wu Song was about to explain when he was interrupted by a voice in front of him.

The sound came from the entrance of the tomb. Yang Chang heard it and responded loudly, "Please don't blame the owner, I'm leaving now."

"What do you want him to do?"

Wu Song bent down and picked up the sword, saying, "I think this monk in the nunnery is not a good man, so I want to test the sword on him."

"No matter whether he is a good person or a bad person, why kill him indiscriminately? The world is dangerous, but my heart is bright. Let's go down the mountain at night and find a place to reminisce about the past."

"My heart is bright. I am not as good as you, but it doesn't matter."

After Wu Song experienced the incident at Yuanyang Tower, his mentality changed just like his appearance. Yang Chang didn't want to see the hero become a Shura, so he pulled Wu Song into the woods.

Wu Song was about to commit murder but was suddenly interrupted by Yang Chang who came later. After listening to his brother's persuasion, he gave up his murderous intention, so he sheathed his sword and walked side by side with Yang Chang.

On a moonlit night in Silent Hill, the cold wind blows through the pine forest.

The dead leaves and branches are stepped on, as if a wild beast is walking.

"It's only been a few months since we last met in Mengzhou. Sanlang is wondering if you are no longer human. You are being forced to do this."

"When I arrived at the prison camp, my cellmate reminded me to pay a bribe, otherwise I would be beaten with a stick first. But Wu Er is not a spineless person. But the camp commander."

"Zhang Dujian's evil plot aroused my brother's anger, so he killed his entire family and then fled."

Wu Song would not talk so much to outsiders, but he treated Yang Chang as his own brother, so he told him the whole process of his "fall" from the beginning, and asked an additional question after he finished.

"If Sanlang is like this, can he still keep a bright mind?"

"This"

Without waiting for Yang Chang to answer, Wu Song continued, "I later met Zhang Qing and his wife, who recommended me to live in Erlong Mountain. I heard that Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi are very powerful, and the Qingzhou government troops can't do anything to them, so it can be regarded as a place of refuge. By the way, what is Sanlang doing here?"

"I'm not on official business. I've already resigned as the official in charge of Yanggu."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"In the summer, a new magistrate came to the county. He was related to Zhang Dujian, whom my brother killed. After your crime was reported to Yanggu, he recruited his younger brothers to capture my brother. I was unwilling to be an accomplice, so I was suppressed and targeted. I gave up my position as the leader of the team and hunted for a living. It was by chance that I came here."

Yang Chang couldn't say that he had foresight, so he planned to go to Erlong Mountain and wait for the opportunity. The excuse he made up on the spot also seemed plausible.

"Good brother, it is my brother who has implicated you. You have offended that dog official. You really can't stay in Yanggu any longer. Why don't you..."

Wu Song was about to invite Yang Chang to join him, but suddenly he stopped and held his breath.

"Sanlang, be careful!"

"Thieves, please leave!"

Suddenly, two shouts were heard, startling the weary birds in the tree.

Wu Song pushed Yang Chang away and drew his sword to meet the attacking swords.

The attacker was the owner of the tomb temple. When he heard the conversation between the Taoist boy and Yang Chang, he immediately chased out with two swords in hand.

Thanks to his familiarity with the pine forest and his light and confident steps, the Taoist quickly caught up with Wu Song and Yang Chang without being discovered by the previous people.

If you don't have evil intentions, there will be no trouble later.

But he saw that Yang Chang's package was bulging and mistakenly thought that it was filled with valuables. In fact, it was the winter clothes that Yang Chang had saved up money to buy and wanted to wear when it got colder.

The two of them roamed around at night together, perhaps they were thieves who were roaming around.

As the saying goes, you don't have to worry about thieves stealing, but you have to worry about thieves thinking about it. Today, two thieves were discovered by my Taoist boy when they were scouting the place. If I don't get rid of them now, they will surely come again.

The Taoist priest found a good excuse for himself, that is, he planned to kill Yang Chang, who was carrying the valuables on his back, first, and then use the geographical advantage to deal with the monk.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he planned, he didn't expect that the monk had an eye on his back.

Little did he know that Wu Song had the most experience in martial arts world, unmatched among all the Liangshan leaders, and he had been on high alert during his communication with Yang Changlin just now.

The Taoist priest attacked with his sword, but Wu Song blocked it with his knife. Then the two of them fought with their swords. The moonlight was reflected by the swords, and the white light and shadows swayed in the woods like flying snowflakes.

Yang Chang quickly got up, holding a whistle stick in his hand to help Wu Song. The two men fought in the forest, one faster than the other. Yang Chang tried to intercept them several times, but unfortunately he hit the whistle stick on the tree, startling the birds and leaves.

"Sanlang, get out of the way. I don't want your help. If you don't kill this bird, you're not a hero."

"You thief monk, I will come to save you!"

Clang Clang Clang.
The sound of metal clashing and swords shining.

The Taoist saw that Wu Song was quite powerful and was worried about having to fight two people alone, but he was in a dilemma and had no choice but to fight the enemy.

When he heard the other party's "bold words", he instantly felt more confident, and the two swords in his hands became sharper.

At this time, the two had fought for more than ten rounds. Wu Song saw that the Taoist's swordsmanship suddenly became fierce, so he immediately showed his weakness and pretended to sprain his ankle. The Taoist didn't know it was a trick and raised his sword to chop him.

When the cold sword fell, Wu Song blocked it with his sword, stood up and kicked the Taoist right in the heart.

The Taoist felt pain and his mother stumbled back quickly.

Before he could stand firm, Wu Song was already in front of him.

With a swipe of the knife, the head fell to the ground.

The corpse shone with golden light, reminding Yang Chang that he could pick it up, but it was too late for him now.

"Look, you don't hurt people, but they want to hurt you. There are still people in the nunnery, so just use them to test the knife!"

"Brother, you can't."

After Wu Song finished speaking, he ran away with his sword in hand, shocking Yang Chang so much that he hurriedly chased after him.

Yang Chang chased to the front of the nunnery and saw that the door had just closed. It must be that there had been a fight in the forest just now, and someone in the nunnery was eavesdropping.

"Can a mere wooden gate stop me?"

Wu Song was reluctant to chop off his sword, so he raised his leg and kicked the door handle with all his strength.

There was a click, and the door bolt broke and the wooden door opened wide.

The Taoist boy in the courtyard was so frightened that he became as dumb as a chicken, like a mouse seeing a cat and dared not move.

"Bird Dao Tong, why don't you run away?"

"Brother, wait a minute!"

When Wu Song raised his knife to chop, he was stopped by Yang Chang who came and said sternly: "Brother, don't kill innocent people. You need to control yourself and don't become a puppet of anger!"

"Ok?"

Yang Chang's words were like a cold breeze at night, cooling down Wu Song's murderous intent.

But after he came to his senses, he did not agree with Yang Chang's kindness, so he pointed at the frightened Taoist boy and said, "What kind of monk is that bird, who was having fun with the woman in this graveyard and just attacked us? This man must be an accomplice!"

“Don’t make subjective assumptions.”

After Yang Chang finished speaking, he looked at the Taoist boy and asked solemnly, "Do you want to live or die? Tell the truth!"

"I am."

"Stop talking nonsense. Come out, woman from the nunnery. I won't kill you. I just want to ask you why."

Wu Song became impatient and called out loudly to the nunnery.

The woman was so scared that she came out and bowed. Wu Song asked her about the Taoist priest and the Taoist boy. It turned out that Taoist Wang was indeed a bad man, and the Taoist boy in front of him was a victim who was abducted. He and the woman in the nunnery were both the other party's private food.

After hearing the woman's introduction, the Taoist boy immediately sat on the ground and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Wu Song looked at Yang Chang and sighed.

"You are right. It is right to keep a bright mind."

"It's good that my brother wakes up."

Yang Chang nodded happily and consoled him, "But you don't have to blame yourself. Brother just killed the evildoer and was also doing good deeds."

"Killing people is considered a good deed?"

"Of course, eliminating evil is also doing good!"
