33: Face Saint
Tonight the weather is clear, the moon and stars are sparse, even though it is late at night, but under the bright moonlight, the earth is still not dark.
Fang Xiaohou Ye stood in front of the window of the rice shop building. The silver glow of the moon shone right through the lattice of the window, and sprinkled on him. Even though he was only half of his body, Fang Xiaohou under the moonlight looked as crystal clear as jade, white and flawlessβeven if it was only half of it. But at least, it's half of what it shows, it's perfect. No one can find any shortcomings.
As for the other half who is still shrouded in darkness, what does it look like? Regarding this question, it is the secret of Fang Xiaohou Ye. In the whole world, except for Fang Xiaohou himself, no one can know. If someone did find out about it, he would soon be gone. Completely, the world evaporated. It's as if there has never been such a person in the world. Therefore, this half is equivalent to non-existence.
Since it's something that doesn't exist, of course it doesn't matter.
In contrast, the person standing beside Fang Xiaohou Ye was completely shrouded in darkness and did not dare to go under the light. He snorted softly, and then said in a condensed voice: "There is a secret method in the Holy Gate to hide and cut off the leakage of its own breath. Once it is displayed, it is guaranteed that the Lord of the Three Great Streams will never be able to detect it. But I never expected that this Cheng Li would be able to discover us. It seems that he is more terrifying than he imagined. β
Fang Xiaohou Ye smiled and said, "That's for sure." Don't forget, with his own strength alone, he has been able to uproot the Lei family in Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall. Not to mention that he later unearthed the glazed treasure and obtained the Dao system of the Shenzhou King, the Sword Saint, and the Lonely Marquis. Hehe~ If it weren't for this person being so terrible, I guess you wouldn't have found Gu and asked for cooperation, right?"
The figure in the darkness said in a deep voice: "Although it is terrifying, I never believe that there are really people in the world who will never be defeated. Little Hou Ye, if we join forces, how sure do you think we can kill Cheng Li?"
Fang Xiaohou didn't even think about it, and immediately shook his head and said: "Cheng Li, this person, deserves four words: unfathomable." On the top of the restaurant just now, Lone first used the Blood River Divine Palm, and then used the 'Marrow Sucking Method', and tried twice before and after, but he couldn't measure the depth of Cheng Li. And ......"
Sighing softly, Fang Xiaohou Ye sighed: "Don't forget. Tanhua flying knife, the example is not in vain. As long as he has a knife in his hand, who dares to say that he is 100% sure that he can kill Cheng Li, the descendant of the Sword Saint?"
The figure in the darkness said coldly: "Tanhua Flying Knife, it is indeed a good example. But it is precisely because this knife is so powerful that after he sends it out, it will inevitably be unsustainable. If we can grasp the timing well, we can take advantage of the situation at this time. To kill Cheng Li, it is by no means impossible. β
Fang Xiaohou sighed: "The reason is simple. But it would be too difficult to find someone who was qualified to let Cheng Li take out the knife and had the ability to force him to do it. β
The figure in the darkness sneered and said, "It's not easy to say, it's not hard to say." As long as you are willing to go all out, you will not be too embarrassed to force Cheng Li to take out the knife, and even after the knife is out, it will not be too difficult. β
Fang Xiaohou Ye smiled lightly: "Maybe." But you have to go all out to make a move, you can't afford this price. So I don't need to mention it. Besides, you should have a second candidate, right?"
The figure in the darkness bowed slightly, and said, "Little Marquis, do you know who the number one killer is today?"
Fang Xiaohou's eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "It's the legendary moon shadow." Whether this person is male or female, old or young, no one knows to this day. But since his debut, he has only taken thirteen deals in seven years. Every time he made a shot, he had to pay 100,000 taels of gold, and he didn't miss a single shot. What, you want to invite Moon Shadow to deal with Cheng Li?"
The figure in the darkness said with a slight smugness: "Little Marquis Fang only knows that the number one killer in the world is Moon Shadow. But do you know where Moon Shadow comes from?"
Fang Xiaohou smiled and shook his head: "I don't know about this. I asked. β
The figure in the darkness said slowly: "Yishui Building." β
Fang Xiaohou Ye thought thoughtfully: "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will not return once he is gone." In this way, Yi Shuilou is one of the four sects and six sects of the Holy Gate, and Moon Shadow is also a disciple of the Holy Gate?"
The figure in the darkness condensed, "Not bad. Yishuilou is also known as Yishuizong. Cao Mo, Zhuan Zhu, Yu Rang, Nie Zheng, and Jing Ke are all my predecessors of the Holy Gate. β
Fang Xiaohou nodded his head and said, "If it is the Moon Shadow, then it is indeed qualified to let Cheng Li take out the sword." But only qualifying. It may not really be able to kill him. β
The figure in the darkness shook his head and said, "You misunderstood. The person who wants Cheng Li to take out the knife is not Moon Shadow. β
Fang Xiaohou Ye frowned: "It's not Moon Shadow, who is that?"
The figure in the darkness paused word by word, and said slowly: "'The left hand turns over the clouds and the right hand covers the rain, and the talking and laughing sleeve gun stains blood', Bai Yujingzhong, the first master of the meritorious family: Liancheng Huo." β
Fang Xiaohou was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "It turned out to be him." For a moment, I didn't think of him. If it were him, he would indeed have this qualification. However, has he already returned to Beijing?"
The figure in the darkness said, "Not yet." However, it should be soon. So in this regard, we have to trouble the little marquis. β
Smart people don't need to talk too deeply about each other. As long as it is touched on a little, each other will naturally understand what the other means. Of course, Fang Xiaohou Ye is a smart person, and he knows the meaning of elegance when he hears the string song, but it is just a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning. Therefore, he just heard the other party say that he wanted to trouble himself, and immediately understood the other party's overall plan.
Fang Xiaohou couldn't help but laugh and said, "I see, I've been waiting here all along." All right. Then this matter will be handed over to Lonely. Lone also wants to see who wins and who loses in the battle between the world's first shot and the world's first knife that started in advance, and in the end?"
ββββ
"The Heavenly King's Demon Slashing Knife. It is divided into seven types: heaven, earth, gods, Buddhas, humans, ghosts, and beasts. The move is only secondary, and the real most important thing is the momentum. Every time before the knife, you must mention that breath of heart, and you must have the momentum of killing gods and seeing the Buddha and punishing the Buddha. Otherwise, no matter how skillful the move is, it will only be a false appearance after all, and it will have no power at all. β
In the Taifu Mansion, in the martial arts training ground. Cheng Li was sitting on a stool and teaching Xiao Jianshi the key to the "Heavenly King Ghost Slaying Knife".
I have to say that Xiao Jianshi does have a good talent in the sword path. The Ghost Slaying Knife is broad and profound, the power of each knife is more subtle than the other, and the difficulty of cultivation is also higher than the other. When Xiao Jianshi learned the first "beast slash", it took seven days. To learn the second type of "ghost slashing" again, Cheng Li originally expected that it would take him half a month to learn it. But I didn't expect that Xiao Jianshi only took ten days to practice "ghost slashing".
Being able to accept such a talented apprentice, Cheng Li also felt very satisfied. So starting today, the third type of "human slashing" will be taught. But after teaching the knife style, Cheng Li mentioned this apprentice one more sentence. You need to know that you can't practice to death. If you can become a master by really drawing a gourd in the same way, then there are too many masters in this world, and it is too worthless.
Xiao Jianshi really knew a little. After hearing these words, I immediately thought about it, and stood in place and meditated. After a long time, Fang took a long breath of air, saluted Cheng Li respectfully, and said, "Thank you Master for your advice." The disciple understood. β
Cheng Li nodded slightly and said, "It's good to understand." But that's easier said than done. In the future, we need to continue to practice before we can truly understand. Otherwise, it's just that you think you get it. But in fact, you don't really get it. β
Xiao Jianshi said solemnly: "Yes." The disciples must always keep in mind the Master's teachings and dare not relax the slack. β
The two were talking, when suddenly, a figure ran up to them and shouted, "So I'm hiding here." I've finally found you. Couldn't help but say, he reached out and grabbed Cheng Li, and shouted, "Hurry up, follow me." β
Cheng Li stood up, but he felt inexplicable. He asked, "Brother Shui, what's the matter?" Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
Shui Longyin's face was full of joy, and he shouted: "It's the Son of Heaven!" There is an edict from the Son of Heaven in the palace, asking Cheng Shao to enter the palace immediately to face the saint. Why don't you hurry up and change clothes with me, and then hurry into the palace? β
"The Son of Heaven wants to see me, now, so soon?"
The news came suddenly, and the reversal felt a little surprised. In his expectation, for the matter of facing the saint, several forces in the court are bound to wrestle with each other for a long time, and finally make some concessions to each other, so that he can have the opportunity to meet the Son of Heaven.
But the bigwigs in the court are competing, not a fight between gangsters in the market, and it is impossible to see the bayonet red at the beginning. It must start with some small things first, send an unimportant little minion to end first, and then the two sides will see each other and gradually escalate. When this battle is almost over, the bigwigs on both sides officially end the game and make a final decision.
No matter how fast the whole process is, it will take at least one or two months to complete the process. But since Cheng Li stepped into Bai Yujing, as of this moment, it has only been half a month. It stands to reason that it shouldn't. Could it be ...... What's strange about it, or maybe something else has changed?
But Cheng Li thought about it, but he felt that it didn't matter. No matter what happens, as long as you can meet the Son of Heaven as soon as possible, then it will be the best result for yourself.
After all, Cheng Li is willing to wait, and the court is willing to rip off, but the "ultimate evil" and the sunset Kun Xuan side will not slow down, and wait for this side to slowly prepare everything, and then start a war.
