Chapter 78: Off the beaten path
In the wooden house in the valley, the candlelight suddenly went out.
Immediately, an extremely tricky arc of light flashed into it. In a moment's time, the arc light swept through all the spaces in the cabin.
But there was no killing.
The black figure appeared in the room for a short time and then vanished.
Apparently, his assassination failed.
One hit misses, and it is thousands of miles away.
This is the concept of assassination by the men in black.
It's just that as soon as he appeared in the mountains and forests outside the house, a strong aura came to his face.
The man in black flashed sideways, and the bushes behind him burst into flames.
In the firelight, the man in black saw a young man.
It was Su Wei, and it was also the target he was going to assassinate this time.
Similarly, Su Wei also saw the man in black clearly.
It's just a face under the black clothes, but it's hard to see through.
But the weapon in the hand of the man in black, he could see it clearly.
It's a long-handled scythe.
It's a strange weapon. In other words, it is a ritual weapon.
However, in the Xuanyu Continent, there are all kinds of cultivation sects, and it is normal for cultivators to encounter some practical strange-shaped magic weapons.
The man in black was staring at Su Wei on the surface, but in fact, most of his attention was on him.
He's on guard.
It was very clear in that information that Su Wei was just Tuomai Realm, while Meng Shi was already in the Ning Yuan Middle Realm.
The man in black is also in the middle realm of Ning Yuan, so he is not afraid of Su Wei.
But if you are involved, you must guard against it.
At this moment, this Liyue National Master was obviously hiding in the shadows, and there was no need to ask, the other party was planning to hit with one blow.
However, the man in black still planned to deal with Su Wei first.
As long as Su Wei dies, when the time comes, Mengshu will definitely be alone.
Because the man in black was convinced that Meng Shi was not his opponent.
When it comes to killing, the man in black is extremely confident.
It's just that he ignored one point, that is, Su Wei, the peak of the extension of the vein, is not inferior to Ning Yuan in the slightest.
When the black-clothed man's soul scythe approached Su Wei's abdomen, the five-ding axe in Su Wei's hand cut off the long handle of the scythe without any hindrance.
Then, he reversed the five-ding axe and smashed the back of the axe into the chest of the man in black.
This is a real slap in the face to the sea of clouds.
The man in black was knocked into the air.
But he was still conscious.
It's just that when he landed, a pair of strong palms pressed against the back of his heart.
The man in black died.
......
Meng Shi lifted the face covering of the man in black and felt that the middle-aged man was a little ugly.
Then he looked at the scythe, which had been broken in two.
"It's the people of the Hall of Bloody Clothes. ”
After some certification, Meng Shi's tone was very affirmative.
Regarding the Bloody Clothes Palace, Su Wei knew a little. The third snake is the man of the Bloody Palace.
It's just that the killer of the Blood Clothes Hall could have come to the Aoki Sect.
You must know how heavily guarded Aoki Mountain is, and it is difficult to enter with a single Ning Yuan Realm.
"Naturally, someone let him in, the purpose is to kill you and me, and then cut off Zhong Xu's connection with Liyue. Meng Shi looked at the bushes that were slowly getting smaller, and his mind quickly deduced.
Soon, a plan emerged.
He was about to plan to talk to Su Wei.
"Then I'll go. Before leaving, Su Wei said to Meng: "The national teacher is careful. ”
Meng Shi nodded: "You too." ”
After Su Wei left the mountain valley, he kept walking south.
Soon, he came to a cliff.
Under the cliff, there is the Sword Cutting Creek.
Su Wei didn't hesitate and jumped directly.
......
In front of Zhong Xudong's mansion, it looks very empty. But there are dozens of disciples who are on duty at night. Therefore, when Meng Shi felt in front of the cave with a corpse, more than ten long swords were aimed at him.
"Please also tell the elders that there is an urgent matter to see. ”
Meng Shi threw the body of the man in black on the ground, and the scythe broken in two was stuck in the belt of the man in black.
"This is the killer of the Bloody Palace. ”
When Zhong Xu walked out of the cave, Meng Shi's face was full of pain: "Please also ask Master Zhong to call the shots." ”
"This person chased and killed us all the way, and knocked Su Wei down the deep stream, all the way, but no one stopped him. ”
When Meng Shi finished speaking, Zhong Xu's face turned purple.
Apparently, someone arranged it in advance.
Originally, he also planned to use Meng Shi and Su Wei to deal with the other three elders, but he didn't expect that they already had a plan.
"Master, I found this. ”
A disciple of the Aoki Sect walked up to Zhong Xu and handed a wooden card to the other party.
This wooden plaque was just found by this Aoki Sect disciple on the body of the deceased Bloody Clothes Hall Killer.
Originally, the killer of the Bloody Palace did not have this brand on him.
But there is.
Anyway, the water is already mixed at the moment, and Meng Shi doesn't mind adding to the fire.
"Collusion with the Bloody Clothes Hall is against the entire Southern Regions. ”
Zhong Xu had already seen the source of this inner door pass token.
"Rest here today. ”
Zhong Xu took the wooden card into his arms and said to Meng She.
He had to keep it, after all, there was some use for tomorrow.
......
Chopping Sword Creek is said to be a stream, but it is actually a big river.
The river is bottomless and full of a strong fishy smell.
After Su Wei entered the water, he headed upstream.
The back mountain of the Aoki Sect is heavily guarded, and it is difficult to go from the front mountain to the back mountain. But it is much more convenient to take the waterway.
It's just a crocodile in the water, but it's also a big problem.
Fortunately, many crocodiles at night are asleep. It is densely attached to both sides of the mountain wall, so that people are not afraid.
Su Wei walked through the water silently, he didn't need to breathe, so he saved a lot of trouble.
Eventually, he went ashore.
At the same time, he found the marker.
A rock shaped like a giant tiger.
To the northeast of the giant tiger stone is Huaqing Cave.
And to the southeast, is Xiangyuan Cave.
Zhu Qingsong's senior sister Mingshu retreated in Xiangyuan Cave.
Yu Fanxi should also be there.
Su Wei really wanted to take a look.
But in the end, he headed northeast.
Along the way, Su Wei avoided those traps without danger according to what Meng Shi said. Finally, he saw the entrance of Hwacheong Cave.
At the entrance of the cave, there are five disciples of the Aoki Sect.
Fortunately, Su Wei didn't need to enter through the hole.
He had another way.
......
Bai Lusheng and Qu Neng were stopped under the imperial city.
Although Qu Neng is the captain of the city gate, the imperial city is not said to be easy to enter.
But Bailusheng can.
But he didn't.
Because Qu Neng said: "The master is from the Vermilion Bird League, and he should take over from the king." ”
"This is the number of departures. ”
When the royal guards guarding the palace gate of the imperial city knew Bai Lusheng's true identity, they all bowed their waists and saluted.
This is the power of the Suzaku Alliance.
"The master came from afar, and Genkaku was sincerely afraid. ”
After receiving the news, the king quickly came to the palace gate. Although he is the king of a country, he is not half arrogant in the face of Bailusheng.
"Your Excellency is gracious. ”
Bai Lusheng stepped off the back of the deer and gently bowed his hand to the king.
"Guru, please. "For Bai Lusheng, Liwang has heard of the name.
This person was abandoned by his parents in the mountains at a young age and fed by a white deer, and later, the leader of the Vermilion Bird League found the white deer sheng, brought him back to the Vermilion Bird League, and passed on the magic and mystical techniques.
Someone once asked Bailu Sheng, Bailu is his mother, why does Bailu use Bailu as a mount. Bai Lusheng replied, she was used to it.
She, naturally, refers to the white deer.
On the way to practice, Bai Lusheng was just like the other six Vermilion Bird envoys, all of whom were geniuses.
At a young age, he is a plastic saint.
It can be said that the Seven Envoys of Suzaku are not inferior to the Seven Swords of Zhongzhou.
