Chapter 34: The Second Assassination
"Brother Mowgli, in the past few years... You've had a hard time. ”
Sitting in the bright hall, Jiuniang and Wuji sat at a table of eight immortals.
"Nothing, we expected that, didn't we? I'm alive. ”
Wuji picked up the teacup, sat in the familiar hall, looking at the unchanged furnishings, he sighed a little, back, only he came back.
Changed. The friends who fought side by side in the past have all returned to their hometowns, and this time Wuji is the Jingshi who came with their last wishes.
If you don't succeed, you will succeed.
"Brother Wuji..."Looking at Wuji, who looked in a trance, Jiu Niang called softly, and the fingers on her legs grabbed the dress.
"How?"
Staring at Wuji, Jiu Niang bit her teeth lightly, and stopped talking. Finally, with the encouragement of Wuji's eyes, her lips trembled, and she asked:
"Brother Wuji, you know Brother Dai... Song seniors, they... How's it going..."
Sure enough, Jiu Niang and they don't know these yet. Also, now that the national teacher is in power, even the prince can't interfere, and he still needs to sneak into the case library with Lin Xiuyuan, and it's normal for Jiuniang not to know.
Looking at Jiu Niang, who was like a kitten in front of her, Wuji reached out and touched her drooping green silk, and said softly:
"Their aspirations, beliefs... I'm carrying it all on my back. ”
"They... Really..."
Jiu Nian's eyes were red, her lips trembled, looking at Wuji who nodded slightly in front of her, she couldn't hold back any longer, and tears instantly filled her eyes.
"Big Brother Mowgli... I... I'm out of company. ”
Taking out a handkerchief to cover her eyes, Jiu Niang stumbled away and ran towards her room, leaving a residual sobbing sound in her wake.
"Hey... Jiuniang may not be able to accept it for a while. Zhuang Han walked to Wuji's side, pulled out a chair and sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.
"She's always going to know. ”
"It's also... You're really going to go next..."
"Well, really, I've already made contact with the prince. ”
The teacup was condensed in the air, and Zhuang Han turned his head to look at Wuji.
"When?"
"Within seven days. ”
Drinking the hot tea in the cup, Zhuang Han looked Wuji up and down.
"You have mastered the word 'Yu'?"
"Never" Wuji shook his head.
The eight-character seal is a unique secret technique of Wuji and his master. It's a pity that in the changes of time and the vicissitudes of life, there are only two left in this eight-character seal recipe to Song Yu's generation, namely the word "Yu" mastered by Song Yu and the word "Zhou" mastered by Wuji.
These two scripts are not the scripts of the Cangwu Kingdom, and even the previous dynasties could not find a script similar to the eight-character seal.
The inheritance was intermittent, and by Song Yu's generation, they had long since known the source of these seals, only the cultivation methods, and even the usage methods were all figured out by them bit by bit. Whether it's complete or not has to be said separately.
Among them, the word "Yu" represents the upper and lower four directions, the space in heaven and earth. Legend has mastered the word "Yu", as long as the true qi is sufficient, one step at a time, close to the end of the world, the stars move, one day exhausted, a thought between the sea of stars.
Of course, Wuji's master Song Yu can't reach this point, but he can still cross the entire Jingshi in an instant. Without this ability, it would have been impossible for him and Wuji to push the national teacher into a desperate situation three years ago.
The ability of the "Zhou" formula and the "Yu" word are complementary, and the "Zhou" word represents the ancient and modern, and is the unpredictable time between heaven and earth.
It can reverse yin and yang, reverse cause and effect, and even rejuvenate and live forever. Wuji could quickly see that Lin Xiuyuan was relying on this move.
However, the word "Zhou" is different from the word "Yu", and when the word "Yu" is used, as long as the true qi is sufficient, there is generally no danger.
However, the word "Zeu" is different, once used, the lifespan will be reduced in an uncertain form, and there is no law at all. It may be that one moment of use is reduced by only one day, and the next time it is used for only one second, it is reduced by a year.
"Didn't grasp it?" Zhuang Han's eyes widened like copper bells.
"Why do you dare to assassinate if you don't master the word 'Yu', even with the help of the crown prince, it is impossible for you to kill the national teacher alone. Don't forget, the last time you and your master didn't succeed. ”
"Wuji, don't be rash, wait a few more years, and it's not too late for you to master the 'Yu' word. ”
Zhuang Han said bitterly, he felt that now Wuji just wanted to die, and the reason why he returned to Beijing was to imagine a general who died on the way to the charge. He doesn't think Mowgli can succeed alone.
"Brother Zhuang, I didn't go to die, I didn't kill the national teacher, how could I die?"
"You're just going to die! Now you can still find that great master in the world? Three years ago, we almost put all our family money into it, why didn't you go to assassinate the national teacher alone? Unless you find the old man and ask him to come out of the mountain. ”
"Brother Zhuang, I found the old man Lu, but he didn't want to get involved in these anymore. ”
"Then why don't you want to wait any longer... Gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, you are not without the possibility of further progress, you..."
"Brother Zhuang, the ability of the national teacher has been strengthened again. Wuji interrupted Zhuang Han and pointed to Lin Xiuyuan, who was reading a book in the corner of the hall.
"Today, after he and I attacked the case, the two of us acted separately, Lin Shaoxia was stopped by Augustus, a dead soldier under the national teacher, and he was on the way to retreat. ”
"Jade Plate..."
"I didn't give it, but Lin Shaoxia didn't know the ability of the national teacher at all, and unilateral intelligence protection no longer worked. ”
Zhuang Han's face changed, he knew what this meant, the national teacher's prediction ability had changed, that is to say, they and the crown prince were not necessarily safe, and the previous precautions were not necessarily useful.
"Mowgli, follow me, we're ready to evacuate. ”
"Oh, don't, listen to me. Wuji grabbed Zhuang Han and pressed him back into the chair.
"Don't get excited, it's Lin Shaoxia who the national teacher sent someone to intercept instead of me, and it's been a while since we entered the city, according to his kind of grudge virtue, it's impossible to let me go, which means that his ability probably can't pass through the protection of the jade plate, and I still have the wooden sword of the old man on my body." ”
"But the night is long and dreamy, and now the national teacher's prediction ability has begun to become stronger, and no one knows when he will be able to pass the jade plate, so we have to speed up our actions. If both you and the prince are discovered, then everything will really be in vain. ”
After listening to Wuji's analysis, Zhuang Han's eyes flickered, his face was cloudy, he was weighing the pros and cons, whether the second assassination could be successful. He shook his head and got up tiredly.
"Alright then, I'll cooperate with you for the next seven days. ”
