Chapter 1002: Sword Qi
Old man wood?
The figure on the corner of the street flickered, Gu Shenwei had already recognized the identity of the other party, he was not surprised by this result, when he observed the scene of Chu Nanping's assassination last night, he was already seven or eight points sure that the assassin was Old Man Mu, but it was completely unexpected to him: When did Old Man Mu learn the complete Book of the Dead?
The lotus girl also recognized the old man Mu, and Gu Shenwei glanced at each other, the two of them had strong doubts and hostility at the same time, after the simplest deduction, they both thought that the other party was the **, and tonight's action was a trap.
At this moment, the two of them had the determination to strike first, he could feel her majestic murderous aura, and she could see the ruthless will in his eyes.
The two have been enemies many times, but this is the first time that a real killing machine has emerged.
A chaotic sound of footsteps came from the scene, interrupting the confrontation between the two, and also made them suddenly understand the fact that the old man was hiding, which just showed that this was not a trap.
Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl jumped onto the nearby roof at the same time, chasing in the direction of the old man's disappearance, more than ten steps away from each other, carefully keeping a safe distance, the trust between them was already thinner than a layer of paper.
Behind him, there was a stunned cry from the Central Plains: "Luo Qikang! How could it be Luo Qikang?"
Because of that moment of killing, the two lost the trace of the old man Mu.
Gu Shenwei jumped into an uninhabited mansion, he confirmed that there was no one here, because this was the property that Xu Xiaoyi had bought, just in case, similar places were scattered all over Biyu City, and Gu Shenwei remembered most of them.
The Lotus Girl hesitated before jumping down, and the two observed each other, and although the killing intent was no longer strong, trust was not fully restored.
Gu Shenwei spoke first, "Old man Mu got ** from Shangguan Hong?"
"Even if Shangguan Hong's mouth is not strict, Old Man Mu can only get a part of the **, but it's you, Old Man Mu has always been by your side, and he must have a purpose in doing this. ”
Gu Shenwei shook his head, "Impossible, I've never been ......" Suddenly he remembered something, and suddenly he was not so confident.
"Want to figure out where the loophole is?"
"The original book of the Book of the Dead, I left it in Jinpeng Castle, and when I sneaked in the last time, Old Man Mu had disappeared for a while. ”
"You didn't take it out of the stone castle?" the lotus girl showed a slight surprise, and then remembered that it was probably because of her own "betrayal" that the dragon king did not bring the scriptures with him.
Gu Shenwei didn't think about it so much, he shook his head again, "It's still impossible, how could Old Man Mu know about the scriptures? I was the only one at that time." ”
"Are you really the only one?"
Gu Shenwei heard the sarcasm in the Dutch girl's words, and immediately understood what she meant, "Shangguan Ru doesn't know, we have never talked about the Book of the Dead. ”
The lotus girl shrugged her shoulders slightly, indifferently.
Gu Shenwei couldn't figure out the reason, he knew that there must be a problem in a key link that would cause Old Man Mu to get the scriptures, but he didn't have any clues now, and he couldn't think about it anymore, so he changed the topic, "Your swordsmanship is not the same as before." ”
"Hmm. The lotus girl seemed absent-minded, "The Divine Skill of the Void and the Sutra of the Dead come from the same source. ”
Gu Shenwei was well aware of this, and the strange text at the end of the Book of the Dead was exactly the same as the beginning of the Wudao Book, indicating that the two sets of martial arts were probably founded by the same person.
"This is the case with the Daoless Divine Skill after the dispersal of the Gong. The lotus girl raised her left hand and gently pushed it out in the direction of the dragon king.
This palm looked unremarkable, but Gu Shenwei couldn't help but nervous, as if an invisible enemy was launching a sneak attack, and suddenly, instinct prompted him to pull out half of the Wufeng knife and block it on the left side of his abdomen.
An invisible sword collided with the blade, and the strength was not very great, but Gu Shenwei was taken aback, and suddenly understood many things.
Luo Qikang's gaze was still extremely accurate, and as soon as he looked at it, he found that the Lotus Girl's killing move was hidden in his left hand, not on the sword in his right hand, which made him restrain his hands, and in the end he would rather take a real sword than avoid the enemy's sword aura.
There are only two people in the world who have reached the realm of scattered martial arts, one is the lotus girl, and the other is the Dubu King.
Gu Shenwei now knows how lucky he was to escape in Tongtian Pass, if Dubu King used his left-handed trick as soon as he came up, he would not be able to dodge.
"I didn't kill Luo Qikang, I had to repay your favor in another way. The Lotus Girl said lightly, "Dubu Wang has practiced sword qi, but he has not learned the Dead Man Sutra, and he uses it relatively reluctantly, so he rarely uses this move, and now only I can defeat him." ”
It turns out that the lotus girl's "return of favor" is not just to show sword energy, but to replace the dragon king and compete with the Dubu king.
Luo Qikang died, Dubu Wang was equal to winning without a fight, and there were only four people left in the city lord's competition: Shangguan Fan, Shangguan Ru, Gu Shenwei and Henu.
Gu Shenwei put the knife into the sheath, "Thank you, I have a way to deal with the Dubu King." ”
"Whatever you want. The lotus girl didn't insist, "By the way, you can also find a way to deal with me." ”
There is only one winner in the city lord's competition, and Gu Shenwei wants to fight against the Dubu King, so sooner or later he will have to pass the level of the lotus girl.
Gu Shenwei didn't answer her words, but said, "In the matter of Old Man Mu, I hope we can join forces." ”
"No one is entitled to the complete Book of the Dead anymore. The Lotus girl said, turning and jumping out of the wall.
Gu Shenwei stayed in the courtyard, he had a lot to think about, and he didn't know that a series of accidents had happened last night, and Biyu City was about to be in chaos.
About half an hour later, Xu Xiaoyi pushed open the courtyard door and rushed in, because he had been riding a horse for a long time, his face was red, and when he saw the dragon king, he let out a big sigh, "Finally found it, dragon king, something is wrong!"
Mo Lin's assassination, Luo Ningcha's disappearance with Shangguan Cheng, Han Wuxian and Han Fen's whereabouts at the same time are unknown, Pang Jing lost his mind and was leading a large group of men and horses to seek revenge everywhere and ordered the mobilization of troops outside the city, Xu Xiaoyi was about to be dizzy by these news, but it was still very brief and clear.
Only then did Gu Shenwei know how lively Beicheng was last night, and everything was more or less related to Old Man Mu.
In the narrow alley, the Central Plains warriors and soldiers had lost their initial vigilance and nervousness, and the Lord Du Protector had been talking with Dubu King for a long time, and it seemed that they couldn't fight.
The warrior who had been vomiting finally calmed down, and stood by the wall with the support of his companions, shaking his head in response to everyone's questions, and he did not want to recount the horrors he had seen.
Wen Xian of the Taishan faction is a rugged strong man, with a beard that occupies most of his face, and has always been famous for his boldness, seeing that this person always shakes his head and is silent, he is very impatient in his heart, and said loudly: "Liu Ziyue, haven't you seen a dead person?
He was immediately reminded of it: "Beware of poison in the house." ”
"Can't I just touch anything?" Wen Xian said with a big grin, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart, took a deep breath, gave himself courage, and walked towards the courtyard where the corpse was lying.
As soon as he walked into the small courtyard, he regretted it, the door was not closed, although he could not see the situation inside, but he could vaguely smell a strange smell, which made his stomach very uncomfortable, even if he was not frightened, it was a very embarrassing thing to vomit.
Wen Xian coughed, as if to tell the dead man inside that he was going in.
On the street, warriors and soldiers alike looked at the courtyard gate, especially the vomiter named Liu Ziyue, who wanted to see Wen Xian's embarrassed appearance so that he could wash away his reputation for timidity.
There was a muffled sound in the courtyard, and everyone in the alley was startled, and at the same time took a few steps back, clenched their weapons, and prepared to attack.
A series of screams followed, and Wen Xian snatched out of the courtyard, his hair, beard, and clothes, from head to toe, burning in several places, so anxious that he rolled on the ground, looking terrible and ridiculous.
Several ** members of the Taishan faction were just about to come to the rescue, but Liu Ziyue was more cautious than the others, and shouted: "Be careful, this fire is wrong." ”
It is true that the flames on Wen Xian's body are not vigorous, but no matter how he rolls, they will always not be extinguished, and the most strange thing is that the flames emit a disproportionate amount of smoke, which will soon drown Wen Xian's whole person.
No one dared to step forward, and the people of the Taishan faction only stood closer than others, shouting "Uncle Shi", covering their noses and not daring to take a step.
One of Pang Jing's entourages walked out of the opposite courtyard and asked loudly, "What's the matter?" As soon as he saw the strange smoke, his first reaction was to cover his nose and close the door.
One of Dubu King's men stepped over the wall, fearless of the smoke, rushed in and grabbed Wen Xian, slapped it, and threw it out.
The Taishan faction had to catch Uncle Shi.
Wen Xian didn't die, but his hair was scattered, and his clothes showed a few big holes, which was even more embarrassed than Liu Ziyue, who had been vomiting before.
"What's inside, what do you see?" Seeing that Wen Xian's body didn't look like poison, a group of martial artists gathered around and asked.
Wen Xian understood why Liu Ziyue had been silent in front of everyone, and these curious people were tantamount to revealing their scars in public, so they said angrily: "I didn't see anything, I was attacked just as I was about to enter." ”
Hearing that there was an ambush in the courtyard, everyone was shocked and dispersed, but no one dared to check the situation through the thick smoke, anyway, the Lord Protector did not give an order, and they did not need to act rashly.
The smoke cleared, and there was no movement in the dead man's yard, and hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at it, and no one spoke, until someone said in amazement, "Hey, that kid is gone." ”
Sure enough, there was a child lying in the crook of the arm of the deceased who vomited blood, and it was said that his whole body was poisonous, and it seemed that he was still breathing, but at this time there was no trace of him.
"One of the dead people inside seems to be his own mother. Someone whispered.
Looking at the clear sky, everyone felt a trace of coolness passing through their bodies.
There was another wave of confusion at the entrance of the alley, "Dragon King, Dragon King is here, just ...... alone"
The crowd automatically moved out of the way to both sides, but the alley became narrower because of it, and the dragon king really came alone, on foot, indifferent to the nearby sword jungle.
Pang Jing once gave an order, and when he saw the Dragon King and the Dubu King, he rushed up, but he was secretly talking with the Dubu King at this time, and everyone outside consciously thought that the previous order did not need to be obeyed.
When Pang Jing got the news, he had already walked to the gate of the courtyard to greet him, staring at the Dragon King approaching step by step, and said coldly, "You came just in time." ”
