    Another day has passed, and Jiang Liu er has become proficient in《Chasing Souls and Falcons' Steps》。If we divide proficiency into small success, great success, and perfect success, he has reached the level of small success.

    "Yin brother, can you lend me your sword for a moment?"

    Jiang Liu'er asked Yuan Zhao with full anticipation.

    "Ha ha, take it then!" Although Yin Zhao did not know what Jiang Liu'er was going to do, he still threw the sword to Jiang Liu'er with great generosity.

    Jiang Liu'er immediately reached out and caught it.

    After drawing the sword from its sheath, he used his index finger as a "pen," his magical power as "ink," and began to draw spells on the blade.

    The "Hundred Heart-Piercing Spells Sword Technique" passed down to him by Tang Sanzang Senior, as the name implies, requires drawing a hundred "heart-piercing spells" on the sword.

    At that time, this sword will be able to move and control with magical power, allowing it to directly pursue an enemy's heart within a hundred steps!

    Who does not dream of mastering the sword?

    After all, Jiang Liu'er does have one.

    "Done!" After completing the drawing of all one hundred heart-piercing spells, Jiang Liu'er immediately imbued the long sword with magical power. In a sense, he felt that this long sword was somewhat like his other arm.

    However, this arm is not connected to his body.

    "Start!"

    Jiang Liu'er pointed his sword hand, and the long sword actually suspended in the air.

    However, at this moment, the long sword started to whirl around.

    The sword automatically aimed at the heart of an officer, and it was about to fly off in that direction at great speed. Jiang Liu'er was startled, reached out and grabbed the hilt in a hurry, stopping it.

    If he had hesitated for a moment, that officer might have lost his life.

    'The sword must not be used at will. This sword technique is very powerful and will surely take someone's life if it is used!'

    This sentence flashed through Jiang Liu'er's mind.

    [Jiang Liu'er]: "@Muscle Tang Sanzang Senior, Tang Sanzang Senior, I have also learned the 'Hundred Heart-Piercing Spells Sword Technique!' I have drawn a hundred heart-piercing spells on a common long sword. As long as I infuse a little bit of magical power, it can automatically pursue the heart."

    ["Muscle Tang Sanzang"]: "……Perfect it then."

    Tang Sanzang's mood was somewhat complex; had his own self-created sword technique, which he developed for over a month at the age of fourteen, been mastered so easily?

    Jiang Liu'er only spent a day learning《Chasing Souls and Falcons' Steps》, and the next day he learned《Hundred Heart-Piercing Spells Sword Technique》.,

    Such talent.

    How demonic!

    "Commander... I just saw your sword for Jiang Liu'er fly up, was I seeing things?" A subordinate officer secretly swallowed his saliva and asked Yin Zhao in a weak voice.

    Yin Zhao actually saw it too: "My sword flies..."

    He paused for a moment and confidently said, "Normal!"

    ...

    It was the night, Golden Light Temple.

    In such a regular Buddhist temple, there was a monster.

    Moreover, this monster can directly communicate with the Abbot of Golden Light Temple.

    The monster is none other than the "Snake King" of Langjian Cave!

    He is one of the officials under the leadership of several dozen little monsters in Langjian Cave.

    He came to the Golden Light Temple today in order to find Jiang Liu'er.

    "Ahimsa, Buddhism. Indeed, there is a person named Jiang Liu'er in the temple. He was brought here by Brother Faming, but he injured a monk in the temple a few days ago... That monk is still lying in bed. Jiang Liu'er has fled in fear of punishment and his whereabouts are unknown."

    "Hmph, I didn't expect that the thief to really have some connection with Golden Light Temple! Old Abbot, you say he ran away? Are you shielding him? Don't forget, it was our king who put you in this position. You cannot hide him from us!"

    "Old monk has not spoken falsely. Golden Light Temple is also looking for that Jiang Liu'er now, and we have reported to the authorities. Perhaps Brother Faming knows something."

    "Brother Faming? That old and ignorant monk? Wait a moment! Is it your intention, Old Abbot, to send me to cause trouble for him?"

    "Namu Amida Butsu..."

    The Snake King did not get the satisfactory answer, but the old abbot of Golden Light Temple had some connection with their family king, so he could not move him easily.

    He had to find the "Brother Faming" mentioned by the old abbot.

    Faming, the Snake King had heard of this monk.

    Ten years ago, the old abbot and Faming Monk both had great potential to become the abbot of Golden Light Temple. But the old abbot found Long Wuji, who helped him, and that Faming Monk could not compete with the old abbot. He could only fail in the end.

    "Thump!"

    The Snake King kicked open the door of Faming Monk's room, only to find that the monk was not asleep, but sitting on a mat reciting sutras.

    The Snake King exuded a demonic aura and sneered, "Brother Faming!"

    Faming Monk opened his eyes to see a black python standing like a human. Clearly a snake, it had limbs and was wearing scale armor, carrying a spear. It was obviously a monster.

    "Is that Jiang Liu'er hiding from you?"

    The Snake King took his spear and pointed it at Faming Monk, threateningly questioning: "If you don't tell me quickly, I will take your life!"

    This was the first time Faming Monk had ever seen a monster.

    Even an enlightened monk cannot avoid feeling a little nervous.

    But as soon as he heard the three words "Jiang Liu'er".

    He forced himself to calm down.

    "Monster, I don't know what Jiang Liu'er has done to offend you. Please enlighten me." Faming Monk recited sutras in his heart to calm himself down and asked with a smile on his face.

    The Snake King spoke with fire in his eyes: "What did he do? That thief was very bold. He pretended to be a monster, mixed in with the Langjian Cave, robbed my king's concubine and took away his soon-to-be wife!"

    Faming Monk was startled: "Master, could there be a misunderstanding? Jiang Liu'er is only twelve years old this year. How could he have such abilities?"

    "I don't care if he has such abilities or not. Just tell me where he is!" The tip of the spear pointed by the Snake King had already pierced through Faming Monk's skin.

    "I do not know either." Faming Monk answered truthfully.

    Even if I did know...

    He wouldn't say it either.

    "Are you really not sheltering him?" The Snake King asked again with narrowed eyes.

    "Absolutely not," said Faming Monk.

    The Snake King suddenly asked a question, "By the way, are you very familiar with that thief Jiang Liu'er?"

    Faming replied, "He was abandoned in the river when he was young. I saved him and had my maid raise him up."

    The Snake King nodded, "Then you are his savior."

    Suddenly, the Snake King continued to sneer, "That makes things easier then!"

    The Snake King raised the spear and tapped the un-edged side, knocking Faming Monk unconscious instantly.

    He wrapped him in demonic wind and carried Faming Monk.

    Shouting loudly in the Golden Light Temple, "Jiang Liu'er! I don't know where you are hiding, but your savior, Faming Monk, is now in my hands! If you want him to live, be wise and bring the king's concubine to the dilapidated temple land ten miles to the east to find me!"

    The demon's voice terrified the monks of Golden Light Temple to shiver.

    The abbot of Golden Light Temple bowed to the Buddha statue.

    "Ahimsa, Buddha..." The abbot of Golden Light Temple cupped his hands together. "Brother Faming, why do you always shelter a thief? Since you have sheltered him, there's no way you can escape this calamity."

    "The position of the abbot, I will sit for a few more years."

    ...
