Volume VIII Chapter 127 The Six-Year Covenant
"That's not right."
Qian Kui suddenly raised her head and said seriously: "My girl once said that as long as you are an assassin, you must have weaknesses. No matter how deep the assassin hides, as long as he kills someone, it means that he has a weakness. ”
Zhongli was confused, and asked suspiciously, "Is Senior Scarlet Moon really saying that?" The invisible assassin can't tell the difference between a man and a woman, so how can he find the weakness of the other party? ”
Zhongli is right, he didn't even see the appearance of the other party clearly, how could he find the weakness of the other party? But Qiankui never lies in front of Yingzheng, since it was Scarlet Moon who said it, there must be a reason for it. Everyone is also confused, there is still such a statement, that is too mysterious.
Qiankui recalled: "I also asked the girl such a question before, and her old man told me that it is not difficult to see the other party's weaknesses, as long as the realm is enough." Please note that this realm refers not only to martial arts, but also to those who are the best at all aspects to achieve that realm. ”
"It is not difficult to see through a person's weakness, but the difficulty lies in how to target that weakness and defeat the enemy. Take the corpse of Brother Tian Kui as an example, everyone doesn't know how he died, but for me, the corpse is the best answer. The living can deceive people, but the dead will not deceive people, and maybe the dead can deceive people, but according to my speculation, the other party's realm should not be as high as mine, and I should be able to find it. ”
Everyone didn't believe it, and they shook their heads one after another. Xing Ling couldn't help but ask, "How can you be sure that the realm of assassins is not as high as yours?" ”
Qiankui said with certainty: "Because the person who killed Brother Tian Kui is not as strong as me." If he is the pinnacle of the strongest powerhouse, there is no need to use assassination methods at all, maybe there is a strong man with a strange personality to use assassination, such as Lord Zhongli Hall, but with the strength of the hall master, there is no need to use poison to kill people at all. ”
"Based on my current investigation, Brother Tian Kui was not killed by force, but died of poisoning. Please give me a little more time, I need to carefully distinguish what kind of poison it is, and then I can confirm the number of martial arts used by the opponent and the assassination route of the opponent. ”
After saying this, Qiankui buried her head in carefully examining Tian Kui's corpse, and even took out a few golden needles from her arms, and lit them on the corpse from time to time.
Xing Ling smiled bitterly: "It's too mysterious, although Brother Tian Kui has not reached the peak realm, he is also a master of Dacheng." If it is said that he was killed by a peak master, I believe this, but if you want to say that he was killed by poison, at least it will take some struggle before he dies. ”
"But we can know from the oral accounts of the two sons that they only saw a bow shadow appear, and then the Tian Kui brothers died instantly. Even at the moment of death, Brother Tian Kui still maintained an upright posture, even if our peak powerhouse here wanted to kill him, he couldn't do this. ”
Saying this, Anjou, Zhongli, Bingnu and the others all nodded. Even if they make a move, they can kill Tian Kui with one move, but it is impossible to maintain such a safe posture of death.
"Chiaoi is right, corpses don't lie." Lilac, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke: "I have a habit, except for the king and his family, I never trust outsiders, I would rather believe in corpses." Every year, eunuchs and maids who die for no reason appear in the palace, and no one can find out, but as long as I go to examine the body, I can roughly deduce the cause of death based on various intelligence analysis. ”
"It's just that I don't know how to use medicine, so I can only tell if it's poisoned, but I can't tell what kind of poison it is, unless it's a poison I'm familiar with. Miss Qiankui, I have a question here, you just said that dead people can lie, how is this possible? ”
Qian Kuitou replied without replying: "As long as the opponent's strength is strong enough, he can beat people into fake death with one move, and outsiders can't tell whether they are really dead or not." There are many such strong people, and my girl and mother-in-law can do it. ”
Lilac shook her head desperately and said: "This is impossible, even if it is feigned death, as long as it is instilled with internal force, you may not be able to detect a person's breath, but you can still detect the dantian, the sea of qi, and the heartbeat." ”
Chiaoi turned around and said suspiciously, "Didn't Childe tell you?" When she was in Sword Valley, in order to train her son safely, the girl once beat her son into a suspended animation. That kind of suspended animation, as long as our realm is not enough, we can't detect a single sign of life. The situation of the son back then, many masters who experienced it can't tell the difference, you can ask them in the future, some of them are stronger than you now. ”
The people around were stunned when they heard this, and the others looked at Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng thought of Meng Jiang's situation, shook his head bitterly and sighed: "Don't ask me, I don't want to mention the past, but I want to tell you that what my family Kui'er said is the truth, and everyone in the Blood Mansion knows about it." If you really want to ask, then go to the Blood Fan Building and ask, I don't want to say this, but I haven't silenced them either. The fisherman is now in the main hall of the North Palace, and you can ask him when you have time, he was on the scene when he was there. ”
Yingzheng didn't say Zhongli, because Zhongli was his shadow, even if he wanted to say it, he shouldn't say it in front of him, so as not to evoke a melancholy past.
Zhongli understood Yingzheng's mood and said coldly: "Lilac, don't ask more, let Qiankui finish the inspection." ”
Lilac didn't dare to say anything, but the people around her whispered, some believed, and some didn't. As long as they haven't seen Scarlet Moon herself, no matter how exaggerated what the outside world says, they won't believe it. When you reach this point, you will be very confident in yourself.
Bai Jiujiu's tears never stopped, and he suddenly walked in front of Gong Ming and said in a low voice: "Brother Gong Ming, after the son goes back, Xiao Jiu will not stay at home." Senior Brother Tian Kui is dead, and someone from my Heavenly Sword Sect must stand up and lead them. I promised my master that I can't lose my master's inheritance, even if my senior sister doesn't agree, I will go back. ”
Gong Ming looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "Beigong still came to this point, I knew that this day would come sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so soon." Xiao Jiu wants to go back, I won't stop it, there are two strongholds in Tiandaomen, I suggest you go to Xianyang Xue Palace, after all, it is close to grandma. Even if we needed help, we were able to get there in time. ”
Bai Jiujiu nodded, and Chen Jiu wept silently beside him. She understood the meaning of Bai Jiu, this time, there would be no more entanglements with Beigong in the future, so it can be regarded as an internal split in Beigong.
Can't blame anyone, Bai Jiujiu thought that Beigong was safe, but what Hou Sheng said to her the day before yesterday became a reality so quickly. She regards Beigong as her home, but her senior brother died in her own home, where does she still have face.
Tian Kui's death dealt a big blow to the Heavenly Sword Gate, and Hou Sheng said bitterly: "Xiao Jiu, listen to your big brother Gong Ming, you will go to Xianyang Xue Palace." I'll go to the town of Jixia School Palace, and you can only sit in Xianyang School Palace, so be cautious in the future, and everything must be low-key, but don't be afraid. If you can't beat others, you can borrow the power of King Qin, as long as you can continue the master. ”
"What we want in Tiandaomen is not development, but survival. If you and I die one day, the inheritance of the master will really be broken, and we will all be ashamed of Senior Brother Tian Dao. ”
Hearing Tian Dao's name, Bai Jiujiu's tears couldn't be stopped, and he cried even harder. The people who are closest to her in the world died one by one, and this heavy blow, if she didn't cry, she would be suffocated from internal injuries.
Ying Zheng touched Bai Jiu's head, and did not give any verbal comfort, there is no need to say more now, so as not to arouse Bai Jiujiu's greater sorrow.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, and the two people who walked in outside the door were Gai Nie and Wang Heng.
Gai Nie stared at Hou Sheng's eyes and said directly: "Tian Kui was not killed by us. ”
Wang Heng also said to everyone: "Don't hide it from you, Guigu has reached an alliance agreement with the Ice and Snow Palace and the King of Qin. Tian Kui belongs to the royal group, even if he gives us a hundred guts, he will not dare to kill at this time. All the people in my ghost valley are living in the place today, and they can be questioned by King Qin one by one. ”
Bai Jiu's eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at Wang Heng's eyes, and asked resolutely, "Really didn't Guigu do it?" ”
Wang Heng replied seriously: "No." ”
Bai Jiuyan said: "This time, I believe you." If we can all be immortal tomorrow, on the eve of the Blood Sacrifice War, you and I must have a decisive battle, and we will not die. In the meantime, you can't die at the hands of others, or I'll take revenge on the people of Guigu, can you agree? ”
Wang Heng thought for a while and said calmly: "I don't dare to guarantee that I will live to that day, if I die early, I will ask someone to tell you the news of death." ”
Bai Jiu said bitterly: "Why can't you live to that day? Since you can't, then Guigu Gainie, if Wang Heng dies early, you and I will have a duel. Don't tell me again, even you won't live to that day, that will make me despise you, the number one force in the world. ”
The people around him were startled, and Hou Sheng said even more anxiously: "Xiao Jiu, didn't you listen to what I said to you earlier?" What we seek is survival, and we are not able to develop in the short term. Gai Nie is a sword master, and in just six years, you are no match for him at all. ”
Bai Jiuyan said: "Six years is enough for me to reach the peak of the ultimate realm, and when I reach this realm, I must participate in the battle of the blood sacrifice." If you don't have a decisive battle with Guigu, even if you die, you won't have the face to see your master. ”
"Guigu Gai Nie, I ask you as the master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, do you dare to accept the six-year covenant?"
Gai Nie raised his head and said seriously: "I took it from Guigu." ”
It's about the honor and disgrace of the sect, and Gai Nie naturally won't tolerate it. In front of everyone, the six-year covenant between Guigu and Tiandaomen was decided.
It could be heard from Ganie's tone that he might have wanted to have such a decisive battle a long time ago. When Gai Nie was weak, Tian Dao was known as the first knife in the world, and every time Guigu clashed with it, he was defeated. The battle between Guigu and Tiandaomen is a decisive battle between swords and knives, and looking at history, Guigu has never won.
When Gai Nie's martial arts were completed and born, Tian Dao had already died, and he couldn't find this field back. In the weak Heavenly Sword Gate, there was actually a little girl who challenged her, and Gai Nie didn't dare not accept it.
At this moment, the people around suddenly discovered that Bai Jiu's momentum was not inferior to Gai Nie. Thinking of Tian Kuiti's chasing after the wind again, he has already lost to the Heavenly Sword Gate in terms of momentum, maybe in a battle six years later, it is not necessarily who loses and who wins.
Bai Jiujiu stretched out his hand backwards and said, "I must live until that day, so the golden knife can't be given to my uncle, only with the golden knife in my hand, I have the confidence to ensure that I don't die early." ”
It can't be disobeyed, Hou Sheng nodded sadly, handed the golden knife to Bai Xuanjiu, and at the same time thought in his heart: "My senior brother Tiandao, this apprentice you chose is stronger than us. At least I didn't dare to fight Gayne, but she did, and she didn't lose to him in momentum. In six years, with Xiao Jiu's talent, he really won't necessarily lose to Gai Nie. ”
He applauded and said, "In front of the corpse of Brother Tian Kui, it is commendable that the Heavenly Sword Sect can make this determination. Sword Saint vs. Sword Saint, if any of us can survive to that day, we must go to watch the battle. ”
The people around nodded their heads, and it was not an exaggeration to say this, there are the most people in the world who make swords, and there are very few who can make swordsmanship well. Only the Heavenly Sword Gate is fond of knife skills, and it is not an exaggeration to call Bai Twist Jiu a sword saint, because it can be seen from Hou Sheng's expression that he will definitely not compete with Bai Twist Jiu for that position.
Just as everyone was applauding this battle, Qiankui's voice was heard, "I found out, I know the origin of the assassin." ”
