Chapter Forty-Seven: Entering the Black Formation
The night was dark, and the moon was as cold as frost. The undulating silhouette of the ridge fades under the ink dome.
In order to avoid the other teams in Dongchang, Gu Yunxi and Wu Daoshi walked around a mountain.
Wu Daoshi himself can only do some fur kung fu, he doesn't know how to control light skills at all, and he was injured when he was entangled with Dongchang just now, and at this time he basically walked forward with fine steps.
And Gu Yunxi's feet were obviously much faster than him, but because of accommodating him, he had to slow down many times, and he was always behind Daoist Wu, with blazing eyes and staring at his every move.
But she was pressed with an anxious anger in her heart, and she didn't know if the person in front of her really couldn't walk or pretended to be garlic. Walking at this pace, I'm afraid I won't even think about reaching the Swift Tower at dawn.
Is he trying to play tricks?
With a cold snort in his nose, Gu Yunxi stretched out his left hand, grabbed the back of Daoist Wu's shirt and slammed it in front of him, watching the other party almost sit on the ground, his body arched into a shrimp.
Daoist Wu looked back at Gu Yunxi and smiled bitterly:
"Oh, woman, what do you command?"
Gu Yunxi's eyes narrowed coldly, and his voice was so cold that he was decisive:
"You're trying to be sluggish, aren't you? Tell you, the guy in my aunt's hand doesn't recognize anyone! ”
With that, she shook the embroidered spring knife in her hand at him, and the sharp cold light under the moon shook her face covered by black veil, burning her dark and deep eyes.
"How, how...... How many heads do I dare to fool the woman? ”
The Taoist priest was terrified, and raised his hand to the fierce god in front of him.
Gu Yunxi crossed the knife face on his shoulder, and his curled up body shook violently.
"Woman, don't ...... Don't......"
He really cherished his life.
Under the black veil, Gu Yunxi smiled coldly:
"Be honest, you tell me the direction later, and I'll take you away. Dare to play tricks, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
"Good, good!"
Daoist Wu smiled coldly, and when he saw Gu Yunxi pointing at the tip of his nose with the blade erected, he immediately lowered his expression and became serious:
"Walk less than twenty miles west after going down the mountain, and across the woods is the Swift Tower, and the things that the woman wants are inside."
Gu Yunxi's eyelashes were raised, and she didn't think that the broken tower that she and Lord Leng Du saw at night five days ago actually hid the Kunhuang Island map she was looking for.
Gu Yunxi raised his eyebrows, and the steel knife pressed on Daoist Wu's neck again, and scolded:
"Don't bluff me! So how the important stuff will be there! ”
Daoist Wu begged for mercy again and again, and his facial features were wrinkled on a face full of panic, which was very funny:
"Xia Guan really doesn't dare to deceive the woman, just because there has been no one in the tower for a long time, even if he sets up an ambush outside, no one will know about it......"
Gu Yunxi's eyes suddenly stared, the light under his eyes was bright and cool, and the five fingers holding the handle of the knife tightened:
"Didn't you get in touch with the palace ministers? Let's be honest! ”
"I said, I said......" Wu Daoist grinned in fright:
"Contact is contact, but we didn't dare to rush to offer pictures before we didn't gain enough trust. This thing is too important, isn't handing it over without finding a way out tantamount to death? ”
Gu Yunxi's eyes flashed, and he also felt that Daoist Wu was right. However, she soon had new questions:
"Tell me, what is the secret of that picture?"
Once upon a time, the Venerable had told her something intermittently, letting her know that there was a secret in this picture, but she didn't know what the secret was.
At the moment, it seems that Dongchang, Guoshi, and many unknown sects are all eyeing Lei Huan, but in fact, they are eyeing the Kunhuang Island map in his hand, which shows that this secret is earth-shattering.
When asked about the key, Daoist Wu's slender eyes flashed with a strange light, which was very complicated, and then his stiff face squeezed out a little dry smile, and he crooked his neck and said:
"I don't know about this. The heroine wants to work for others, you should know that with your humble identity and me, how can you not fall behind and know everything? ”
Gu Yunxi couldn't refute, so he had to withdraw the knife sullenly, lifted the back of Daoist Wu's neck with his small hand, pressed the tip of his tongue against his teeth, and took Daoist Wu to the air together, performing the technique of flying on the grass with light skills, and went west along the mountain road.
The stars are dappled and the breeze is swishing.
As soon as he was descending the mountain, he was confronted by more than a dozen black-clothed masked men blocking the way.
Don't ask, it's another force that is trying to get the picture.
Gu Yunxi grabbed Daoist Wu tightly, holding the handle of the knife in one hand, and his eyes were as dark as a hook.
"Who's coming?"
Gu Yunxi took the lead in shouting, and then saw that the group of people flashed their weapons together, and besieged her without saying a word of nonsense.
Only one of them still stood upright, his figure unshakable.
At the moment when Gu Yunxi raised his voice and shouted, his face was slightly startled in front of the black cloth, showing that he was stunned.
Gu Yunxi pushed Daoist Wu with one hand, staring at the enemy who was killing in front of him without squinting, and said to him:
"Find your own place to hide first."
Immediately, the embroidered spring knife waved and killed. Only by passing the tricks can you tell the difference, these people are all kung fu in the rivers and lakes, so it can be concluded that they are not the secret guards of the East Factory.
There was a cry for help from the ear chakra, and Gu Yunxi looked at it with his eyes, it turned out that the person who had just stood outside the encirclement had arrested Daoist Wu and wanted to snatch him away like a dead dog.
Gu Yunxi hurriedly parried with many opponents for a few times, then shook a little, and leaned over to the man to snatch Daoist Wu.
The man dragged Daoist Wu before he could run far before he was intercepted by Gu Yunxi, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes, the dark light in his eyes was aggressive, and he had both admiration and a little hatred for the delicate but difficult opponent in front of him.
Let go, Daoist Wu hid behind a tree in a panic, his legs were weak and he couldn't move half a step.
Two masked people, a man and a woman, immediately made a move, their bodies were entangled, and the two knives met in the dark night, and the silver rays were full of sparks.
A hundred rounds passed in the blink of an eye.
While the opponent was surprised by Gu Yunxi's superb kung fu, he was a little impatient in his heart, and suddenly shook his left palm when the two of them were wrong.
And Gu Yunxi also had the same emotions and used the same moves.
The moment the figures were staggered, the black yarn of the two sides floated off their faces at the same time, and the moment they saw each other's true faces, they were stunned on the spot.
"Is that you?"
"Brother Lu?"
Stunned by each other.
Lu Qiange was the first to react, his light purple eyes were narrow, and he asked in a stiff tone:
"Tu Duxue, who are you working for?"
Gu Yunxi asked coldly:
"What about you? And to whom do you obey? ”
Daoist Wu hid behind a tree and sensed an opportunity, and suddenly ran away, and was injured in the leg and stomach by Lu Qiange's flying willow leaf dart, and was pressed to the ground by his subordinates.
Lu Qiange turned his head, his scrutinizing gaze wandered around Gu Yunxi, and said with a deep face:
"It seems that you are for the Kunhuang Island map."
Gu Yunxi's complexion was calm:
"Each other, this is also the real purpose of your infiltration into the palace, right?"
Lu Qiange's eyes flashed, and he said frankly:
"Tu Duxue, I see that you have a good job, but you should also know my skills, I'm afraid that you and I may not win or lose if you and I fight for three days and three nights. There are not a few people who covet the treasure map, and there will inevitably be people on the road who will hijack this bull-nosed Taoist priest again. Bao Qi is a helper to each other. ”
Gu Yunxi pursed his lips, and after thinking about it quickly, he felt that what Lu Qiange said was reasonable.
At this moment, Daoist Wu is in his hands, he is indeed extraordinary in martial arts, and continuing to fight with him will only miss the right thing, and after a while, Dongchang Fanzi will chase after him, and the trouble will be even greater.
So Gu Yunxi nodded and decided to cooperate with Lu Qiange temporarily.
Everyone took Daoist Wu to continue their journey, and after walking only twenty miles through the woods, they saw the ruined swift tower towering in front of them.
Lu Qiange's people took out the fire fold to illuminate it, and Daoist Wu led the way, and the group entered the pagoda, and then knocked down the ten Taoist priests who guarded it.
Thinking that Lord Leng said that there might be a mechanism in the tower, Gu Yunxi didn't dare to be careless, and his expression remained vigilant while walking, holding a knife nervously, always paying attention to the movements around him, to prevent any unknown hidden weapon from suddenly attacking.
In this way, he went up to the third floor of the pagoda without any obstacles.
By the light of the fire fold, Gu Yunxi looked around.
In the large space, there is only a long table and a few wooden chairs in the southeast direction.
Although it is simple and wasted, the dust on the surface of various furnishings is not too thick, only a thin layer, and there is no trace of cobwebs hanging on the ceiling, which shows that some people will come to clean and maintain it regularly.
When I raised my eyes, I saw that there was a gossip copper compass between a pair of bronze candlesticks on the long table, the size of which was like a Western table clock, and the erected disc was engraved with a variety of graphics, and the shape was extremely unique.
The Tianchi in the center of the compass is not a compass, but a dial-sized yin-yang symbol.
Directly in front of the compass is a delicate small copper incense burner and a bundle of sandalwood.
Lu Qiange obviously lost much patience when he saw it, grabbed the placket of Daoist Wu's clothes, and asked fiercely:
"Why did you bring us here? Master asked you, what about the Kunhuang Island map, huh? Figure! ”
Daoist Wu stepped back and said flatteringly:
"Don't worry, hero, let me open the mechanism and get the picture. But after that, you have to fulfill your promise and let me live. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, the master will naturally talk about it! Go ahead, I will not spare you if you dare to play tricks. ”
Lu Qiange waved a steel knife to intimidate.
"Hehe, don't dare, don't dare ......"
Daoist Wu lowered his eyebrows and humbly walked to the incense case, stretched out his hand, and Gu Yunxi's eyes immediately sharpened:
"What do you want to do!"
The Taoist priest smiled sourly, finger compass:
"The treasure map is in the compass, how can you get the map without opening the mechanism?"
Gu Yunxi had no choice but to flatten his mouth, shook his head and said, "Go quickly!" ”
Daoist Wu moved the copper furnace in front of the incense case, put his hands on the gossip compass, and tossed the outer and inner disks back and forth at will.
Gu Yunxi's eyes were round without blinking, watching every movement of the Taoist priest.
Suddenly, the vision in front of her was bright, and the bright white light made her can't help but close her eyes, and then a huge attachment force in front of her surrounded her, and in her ears was Lu Qiange's exclamation:
"Tu Duxue—"
……
The gloomy clouds over the Swift Ridge were bleak and the wind was fierce, and the purple light flashed in the rolling thick clouds, and the thunder and tremors in the sky.
Halfway up the mountain, Yu Xuanji suddenly snatched the monocular telescope from Leng Qingtang's hand and put it in front of him, looking in the direction of the Swift Tower, and saw sweat on his forehead in an instant.
"Oh no, they've started the black formation!"
Leng Qingtang's complexion changed drastically when he heard this: "What is the Black Formation?" ”
Yu Xuanji dropped the telescope and frowned:
"A kind of invisible evil art, but it is weaker than the death formation, so that the person who enters the formation will die immediately, and at most he will be captured by the other party in despair."
Leng Qingtang's eyes were dark, and his eyes were dark and gloomy:
"Sure enough, Lei Huan used the map as bait to capture the figure alive."
Yu Xuanji sneered at Sen Sen:
"That little thing is so stupid that it can easily fall into the trap of the opponent."
"Xuanji, will you break this formation?"
Leng Qingtang looked at the handsome man who was gloating, but the tone of the question did not mean to ask for it.
Yu Xuanji's cunning eyebrows:
"You want me to save your sweetheart, and you still use this tone?"
Leng Qingtang was impatient, and accentuated his tone:
"It's an order! It was up to her to uncover the forces behind her, so she could not afford to fail. ”
"Cut, excuse!"
Yu Xuanji sneered dissatisfied, put on the golden mask, shook off the reins of the horse and shouted:
"Singing wind, Void Moon, come with me-"
Behind him, the two Taoist boys in disguise responded to the sound and followed Yu Xuanji towards the pagoda.
