In the evening, Huashan thought about the cliff.

On a stone path with stone steps, a disciple of the Huashan Sect in a white shirt was walking briskly up the mountain, holding a boxed lunch in his hand.

He was a disciple who brought food to Linghu Chong.

Ever since Ling Hu Chong had been thinking about the cliff face, he needed someone to bring him food every day. At the beginning, the person who delivered the meal was Yue Lingshan. But since Yue Lingshan got together with Lin Pingzhi last month, she rarely went up the mountain, and the person who delivered the food became the white-shirted disciple in front of her.

The Huashan disciple was walking, and at this time, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of him, with a green robe and a slow belt, a folding fan in his hand, a face like a crown of jade, and a dignified appearance, which was the head of the Huashan faction - Yue Buqun.

The Huashan disciple stopped and hurriedly saluted: "Master, why are you here?"

Yue Buqun asked, "Where are you going?"

"Back to the master, the disciple will bring dinner to the senior brother. ”

"You don't have to deliver food anymore. Yue Buqun said, "Chong'er thought about it in the cave, don't disturb him, his diet is arranged for the teacher." ”

"Yes. ”

"Also, you keep this matter a secret for the time being. ”

"The disciple understands. ”

After a few words, the Huashan disciple left in a hurry.

After that, Yue Buqun carried a white baggage, and then copied a small path, sneaked out of Huashan, and came to a forest at the foot of Huashan Mountain.

At this time, night had fallen, and after Yue Buqun was sure that there was no one around, he wiped his hand on his face, and tore off a human skin mask, revealing a delicate face, which was Ling Hu Chong.

To be exact, it's Liu Xing.

Liu Xing decided to leave Huashan tonight. Before leaving, he used disguise techniques to pretend to be Yue Buqun. Fooled a few of Huashan's disciples to make sure that no one could find out about Ling Hu Chong's disappearance.

So. Liu Xing can go to Blackwood Cliff with peace of mind.

Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Liu Xing naturally would not go to Heimu Cliff as Ling Hu Chong, and he decided to use the disguise technique to change his appearance.

Taking out the disguise materials prepared in advance from the baggage, Liu Xing began to toss in the woods.

Half an hour later, he dressed himself up as an ordinary scholar.

After changing his costume, Liu Xing walked out of the woods, bought a white horse for 5 taels of silver in a nearby street market, and then set off immediately on the white horse.

It is about 1,000 kilometers from Huashan to Heimu Cliff. The road is extremely long. Liu Xing's light skills are the best in the world, and theoretically, he will reach the Black Wood Cliff faster than riding a horse.

However, it's not that simple.

Light power itself requires internal force, Liu Xing is currently using Linghu Chong's body, the internal strength is mediocre, as long as he runs dozens of kilometers in a row, he will be exhausted. If he is allowed to run more than 1,000 kilometers, it is estimated that he will lose half his life when he arrives at Blackwood Cliff.

Conversely, if you ride a horse. As long as you travel overnight, it will take less than ten days to reach Blackwood Cliff.

Therefore, all things considered, horseback riding is a better choice.

Overnight, I drove for a day. The next day, Liu Xing arrived in Luoyang City and found an inn in Xicheng. Prepare for a night's rest.

That night, Liu Xing ordered a few side dishes. Sitting alone in the inn and drinking a little wine.

I was drinking wine, at this time. A middle-aged man, about thirty years old, dressed in black clothes, with a grim face and a cyan long sword in his hand, suddenly walked into the inn.

The man in the black shirt has extremely light steps, and his light skills should not be weak, Liu Xing glanced at the man in the black shirt twice, only to see that his eyes were cold and his expression was indifferent, and his intuition told him that the man in the black shirt was likely to be a killer.

"Smiling Proud Jianghu" is a martial arts world of swords and swords, and it is not strange that there are killers, but this man in black shirt can be regarded as a master of a thousand, and the people who are targeted by killers of this level are probably more than lucky.

"It looks like someone in Luoyang City is going to suffer. ”

The purpose of Liu Xing's trip was to go to Heimu Cliff to find Dongfang Undefeated and "Smiling Proud Jianghu 2", and he didn't want to meddle in things.

It's just that a few words from the man in black attracted Liu Xing's attention.

"Guest officer, are you going to be a top hat or staying in a hotel?" the shopkeeper stepped forward.

The man in black was expressionless, and asked in a cold voice: "Xiao Er, where is there bamboo in Luoyang City?"

"Bamboo?" the shopkeeper wondered, "Guest officer, what do you want bamboo for......?"

"Less nonsense!" The black-shirted man's long sword was directly on the neck of the shopkeeper, "Where is there bamboo in Luoyang City?"

The shopkeeper was so frightened that his body trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Bamboo...... Oh, I remembered...... There is a green bamboo alley in the east city of Luoyang City, where there is a bamboo forest that you can take a look at. ”

"Green Bamboo Lane?"

After the black-shirted man asked the specific location of Green Bamboo Lane again, he hurriedly left with a long sword.

After watching this scene, Liu Xing noticed something abnormal.

In "Smiling Proud Jianghu", there is indeed a green bamboo alley in the east city of Luoyang City, which is where Ren Yingying and Luzhu Weng live. The man in black inquired about the whereabouts of Green Bamboo Lane, could it be that the person he wanted to kill was Ren Yingying?

Thinking of this, Liu Xing decided to go to Green Bamboo Lane to have a look.

"Little two, check out. ”

"Okay. ”

After settling the account, Liu Xing left the inn, and after that, he secretly followed the man in black shirt with light skills, from Xicheng to Dongcheng, and finally came to a narrow alley.

It was late at night, and the alley was quiet, and at the end of the alley, there was a green bamboo forest.

There are several huts in the green bamboo forest, all of which are made of bamboo. At this time, outside one of the largest houses, a black carriage was parked, and beside the carriage was an old man in his fifties, who seemed to be an old coachman.

The old coachman was in high spirits, drinking a little wine and humming a little song.

Sou!

Suddenly, the man in the black shirt flew by, and with a flash of sword light, he slashed through the old coachman's neck, and a stream of blood spurted out, killing the old coachman on the spot.

Killing the old coachman, the man in the black shirt turned into a black shadow with a long sword in his hand, and jumped through the window into a house.

Sweeping around, I saw a table in the house, and on the table were a yaoqin and a pipe of dong flute. In front of the table, there is a scene of white light veil. Behind the spinning is a bamboo bed, in which a young woman sleeps.

The woman was dressed in a blue dress. He was lying quietly on his side, although he couldn't see his face clearly. But through the light veil, the woman's graceful figure can still be faintly seen.

This blue-clothed woman is none other than Ren Yingying, the holy aunt of the Sun and Moon God Sect.

Looking at Ren Yingying, the black-shirted man's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, the long sword in his hand shook, and his light body flashed out, passing through the light veil, and stabbing directly at Ren Yingying.

Ren Yingying was already asleep, and when the long sword stabbed behind her, she still didn't notice it.

See here. Liu Xing, who was hiding in the shadows, knew that if he didn't make a move, Ren Yingying would definitely die, so he waved his right hand and threw a small pebble.

Bang!

The stone struck the long sword, and the black-shirted man only felt a numb wrist, and the long sword in his hand immediately fell to the ground.

"Who?"

The man in the black shirt was shocked.

At the same time, Ren Yingying on the bed was also awakened: "Who is it?"

Before the words fell, Ren Yingying had already jumped up from the bed and pulled out a short sword. Turned into a green shadow and galloped out. The short sword in his hand danced rapidly, clanged a few times, and stabbed at the black-shirted man, and the move was directed at the vital point.

The man in the black shirt was unarmed. Unable to resist, he was forced to fall backwards again and again, when he hit the corner of the house. Ren Yingying's short sword was already around his neck.

"Who are you?" Ren Yingying's voice sank.

The man in the black shirt seemed to know that his momentum was gone, and his neck slashed against the blade of the dagger. Bright red blood gushed out, and eyes rolled. Straight to the ground.

The man in the black shirt is dead.

"Holy aunt, what's going on?" At this time, an old man rushed into the house, he was the green bamboo Weng.

Ren Yingying put away the short sword: "A killer appeared out of nowhere." ”

"Killer?" Lu Zhuweng's face was shocked.

"The killer is dead. Ren Yingying looked at the long sword that the man in black shirt had dropped to the ground, and her cheeks showed doubt, "Strange, this killer just had the opportunity to kill me, but how could the long sword in his hand suddenly fall to the ground......?" Someone secretly helping?"

Turning her head, Ren Yingying asked Lu Zhuweng: "Did you see anyone nearby when you just came in?"

Lu Zhuweng shook his head: "I heard the sound of fighting in the house, so I quickly came in to take a look, and I didn't find any suspicious people." Holy aunt, who is this killer?"

Ren Yingying said: "Before I could ask, he committed suicide." ”

"Who is so bold?" Luzhu Weng frowned and reminded: "Holy Aunt, you will go to the Black Wood Cliff tomorrow to preside over the Dan Appreciation Conference, you have to be careful along the way. ”

The so-called Dan Appreciation Conference is actually an antidote to the Three Corpses Brain Divine Pill.

The Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill that the disciples of the Sun and Moon God Cult all consumed, this poison occurs once a year, so they need to take an antidote every year.

Ren Yingying is the Holy Aunt of the Sun and Moon God Sect, and every year she is responsible for rewarding the antidote to the Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill for the cultists.

In half a month, it will be the day of the Sun and Moon God Sect's Dan Appreciation Conference, Ren Yingying is ready to leave for Heimu Cliff tomorrow, and the carriage parked in Green Bamboo Lane is here to pick her up.

"Appreciation of Dan?"

Knowing this information, Liu Xing, who was hiding on the roof, made a temporary decision and prepared to go to Blackwood Cliff with Ren Yingying.

On the one hand, you can get the antidote to the Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill from Ren Yingying, and on the other hand, you can check the news of Ao Jianghu by the way.

Because Liu Xing suspected that tonight's assassination was planned by Ao Jianghu.

Ren Yingying is the heroine of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and according to the plot of the original novel, it is impossible for her to be killed by a killer.

However, if Liu Xing hadn't come to the rescue tonight, Ren Yingying would have died under the sword of the man in black shirt.

Therefore, tonight's assassination incident is a plot that does not exist in the original novel of "Smiling Proud Jianghu"!

In other words, the plot was orchestrated.

After analyzing this, the answer is obvious, the mastermind behind tonight's assassination should be Ao Jianghu.

Proud Jianghu is fascinated by "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and awakens his self-awareness, he has the ability to plan events that do not exist in the original plot of "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

"Why did Ao Jianghu kill Ren Yingying?"

Liu Xing felt strange, and now he could only follow the vine and find new clues from Ren Yingying.

After this episode, Ren Yingying continued to stay in the house to rest, while the green bamboo weng took the body of the black-shirted man and buried him in the green bamboo forest.

As for Liu Xing. dragged away the body of the old coachman who was killed, and buried him in the green bamboo forest. Afterwards. Liu Xing changed into the old coachman's clothes, and then used the disguise technique to pretend to be the old coachman. Then return to the carriage in the green bamboo forest.

……

The next morning, the golden sunlight shone down from the emerald green bamboo leaves, and Liu Xing sat in front of the black carriage.

He is now an old coachman.

Squeak-

At this time, the bamboo door of the house opened, and a woman in blue clothes walked out, her face covered with a thin light veil, it was Ren Yingying.

She's going to Blackwood Cliffs today.

"Holy aunt, be careful all the way. "Green Bamboo Weng Road.

Ren Yingying walked lightly to the black carriage and sat in the carriage. Then he said to Liu Xing outside the carriage, "Elder Yin Tang, you can go." ”

"Yes. Liu Xing responded, and it wasn't until now that he knew that this old coachman was not an ordinary person, but an elder of the Sun Moon God Sect surnamed Yin, and his status seemed to be not low.

Liu Xing didn't think much about it, flicked the whip in his hand, and drove the carriage out of Green Bamboo Lane.

The speed of the carriage was faster than expected, and the black horse in front of him was much stronger than the white horse that Liu Xing had bought for 5 taels of silver before. Ren Yingying's carriage is probably the Rolls-Royce of the world of "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

An hour later, the carriage left Luoyang City through the East City Gate, and then went north along an official road.

It's sunny today. Riding in a luxurious horse-drawn carriage through the wide avenues is a pleasant trip.

Along the way, Ren Yingying was always silent. She sat quietly in the carriage and barely said a word.

It's also a hassle-free. If you say too much, you will lose, so as not to expose your stuffing.

Today's trip went very well. In the evening, the carriage drove into a wooded field.

Liu Xing sat in the carriage, nibbling on dry food while checking the surrounding environment. There are no inhabitants in this forest for dozens of miles, it is very remote, and there are so many towering ancient trees around it, it is really an excellent place for murder, arson, robbery and rape.

Boom!

Just thinking about it, suddenly, there was a loud sound on the road about ten meters ahead, Liu Xing was just about to stop the horse, and a black smoke came out from the front and pounced on him.

"Holy Aunt, poisonous gas!"

Liu Xing reminded him urgently, and when he heard this, Ren Yingying's figure in the carriage flashed, flew out of the window, and fell under an ancient tree a few meters away at the same time as Liu Xing.

However, when her feet just touched the ground, Ren Yingying only felt dizzy in her brain, her legs were weak, and she sat directly on the ground.

"Loose tendons?"

Ren Yingying frowned slightly, she had already realized that she had been poisoned.

As he spoke, suddenly, nine figures swept down from the tops of the surrounding ancient trees and fell in front of him, and the people who came were nine men dressed in black, with black cloth on their faces and holding large knives, obviously not good.

A bald-headed man in black asked, "Are you the Holy Auntie of the Sun and Moon God Sect?"

Ren Yingying asked rhetorically: "Who are you?"

The bald man in black said: "I have heard the prestige of the Holy Aunt for a long time, and I have the fate to see it today, which is really a blessing for three lives." It's just that someone asked us to kill you, how offended, and I hope the holy aunt will forgive me. ”

"What a big breath!" Ren Yingying waved her small hand, pulled out a short sword from her arms, and was about to get up to fight, but unfortunately, she didn't even have the strength to hold the sword, and with a bang, the short sword in her hand fell to the ground.

The bald man in black said: "Both of you have been hit by soft muscles, so you don't have to do any more useless struggles." ”

Liu Xing was actually not poisoned, he had just secretly performed the key to holding his breath in the "Nine Yin True Scripture", stopped breathing, and the poisonous gas that was scattered by the soft tendons did not enter his body at all. Just to avoid revealing his identity, he temporarily pretended to be poisoned.

"Holy Aunt, offended!"

As soon as the words fell, a man in black rushed over and slashed directly at Ren Yingying with a big knife.

Ren Yingying's face changed, she held the ground with her hands, and wanted to get up, but at this time, she was powerless to dodge at all, so she could only watch the man in black knife towards her head......

Zheng!

Suddenly, the short sword that fell to the ground flew up out of thin air, and with a clink, it shot down the big knife in the hand of the man in black.

Immediately afterwards, the short sword suddenly transformed, turned into a sword shadow, and slashed in front of the man in black, accompanied by a scream, the man in black fell to the ground and passed out.

Calm returned to all around.

Ren Yingying was stunned, and her mind was a little confused: "What happened?"

She seemed to see her short sword fly out of thin air, and then kill the man in black, which ...... Is this a hallucination?

However, looking at the man who was already lying on the ground, all this seemed to be true again.

Just when Ren Yingying was puzzled, Liu Xing was very calm.

He had just secretly performed "Dragon Capture Gong", manipulating the short sword in the air, and then cooperating with the mental method of "Dugu Nine Swords" to perform two sword moves.

Liu Xing's "Dugu Nine Swords" has initially reached the unity of human and sword, and after integrating "Dragon Capture Gong", he can quietly control the short sword in the air, killing people invisibly.

"How is this possible?"

The other eight men in black looked at each other, and after looking at each other, the bald man led by him said, "Let's go together!"

After speaking, seven more men in black carried big knives and rushed towards Ren Yingying quickly.

At the moment when they rushed out, Liu Xing's mind moved, and the short sword flew up out of thin air again, and with a bang, it flew head-on towards the seven men.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Like lightning, the short sword drew a zigzag sword shadow in mid-air, and after a strange sound, seven men fell in seven different directions at the same time.

I never got up again.

There was a deathly silence all around.

Seeing this scene, the last bald man in black was stunned, and thought he had seen a ghost, turned around, and ran away.

Liu Xing's brows moved, and the short sword flew up again, shooting out like a sharp arrow.

Sou!

The sword flickered, and the short sword pierced into the knee of the bald man's left leg.

"Ahh

There was a scream, and the man fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the nine black-clothed killers were all wiped out.

Calm returned to the woods again.

Although everything was seen with her own eyes, Ren Yingying still couldn't believe the facts in front of her.

A short sword, who can fly by himself, and kills so many people?

"What the hell is going on?"

Ren Yingying's willow eyebrows bent, recalling the scene where the short sword hurt people just now, and then looked at the surrounding woods, "Is there a peerless master to help?"

…… (To be continued......)
