Chapter 21: The Dragon's Picture
Jian Shenyue's whole body was shaking, the attic under her feet kept sliding down along the dark wall, and the lotus shadow behind the curtain was actually sitting on the piano platform, and even the two maids behind her looked calm.
"The Moon Boy doesn't need to worry, it's just some KitKat tricks in the workshop." Lotus Shadow sneered, looked at the sword and moon's swaying body and chuckled.
Sword Styx took a breath and stood still, looking around by the light in the attic, where the walls were covered with deep scratches, and the corners of the attic were sliding rapidly down the grooves. He lowered his steps and walked to the curtain step by step, his right hand gripping the pillar beside the curtain, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I didn't expect that you Yuquanfang also have this kind of secret passage, could it be that it is used to escape for your life in the future?"
Lianying ignored him, still sitting on the piano platform, stroking the piano with her left hand, and taking a cup of tea handed over by the maid on the side with her right hand, and took a sip.
Although there were lights in the attic, they were sliding so fast that those lights swayed in the wind and were almost all blown out by the strong winds. The entire attic flickered and darkened, and fell rapidly in the darkness, and Jian Shenyue could even hear the sound of his own heartbeat clearly at this time.
Seeing that the other party was three weak women, and there was no appearance of wanting to do anything to him, Jian Mingyue pretended to be calm, standing next to the pillar, but his right hand touched the pillar behind him from time to time, and glanced at the darkness around with palpitations.
About half an hour later, only a creaking sound was heard, the attic stopped sliding, and there was a sudden burst of light behind the curtain. Lotus Shadow slowly got up and said softly, "Stygian Moon Youth, let's go." ”
The two maids beside her, one carefully holding the piano in her arms, the other holding a plate of teacups, followed the lotus shadow and slowly walked down the attic.
Seeing that the three of them had left, Jian Mingyue hurriedly wiped the cold sweat in his right hand on the pillar behind him a few times, and quickly followed. When I walked down the attic, I found that there was a deep corridor in front of me, and the sides and the roof of the building were made of iron boulders. Under the light of the lamps hanging from the stone wall, the graceful figures of the three women in front of him shone at his feet.
"Hey! Where is this going? Jian Shenyue tilted his head and looked in front of the three of them, only to see a deep corridor with no end in sight, his expression was a little nervous, and he asked in a sullen voice.
Lianying suddenly stopped, turned her head slightly, and did not look back at the sword undermoon behind her, she covered her mouth with her right hand, chuckled, and the touching laughter echoed throughout the Yongdao, and then asked coldly, "The dignified disciple of the Remnant Sword Building, the senior disciple of the master and the son of the master would be afraid of a mere Yongdao?" ”
Before the words fell, Lianying continued to walk forward, and the two maids behind him followed closely behind, not daring to delay for a moment.
Although Master Wang has been in seclusion for more than ten years, he has never asked about the Remnant Sword Tower, but his disciples still remember their identities, so that the Remnant Sword Tower is divided into two factions. In order to bridge the differences between the two sides, the contemporary landlord Jian Idiot escorted the representatives of the Vientiane Clan into Dragon City this time, and specially selected Jian Shenyue, the second disciple of Wang Fuzi.
As one of the best masters in the building, if he is on the ground, he is high in the sky and allows the birds to fly, without the slightest scruples. But at this moment, it is in this narrow corridor, if you fight with the other party, you will be killed in the crypt of Dragon City if you use too much force.
The two conveniences like this, ignoring each other, walked along the road all the way forward. About half an hour later, a waterfall rushed down at the end of the road, and two Tsing Yi guards at the other end held up two umbrellas, and three women walked past them. When Jian Shenyue arrived, the two guards left directly.
The three women left the waterfall far away and walked straight into the distance. Standing on this side of the waterfall, Jian Shenyue vaguely heard the soft voice of the lotus shadow asking for someone's peace, he pulled out the long sword in his right hand, and a sword qi surged up the blade to split the waterfall torrent in front of him, and his body quickly passed through the gap between the waterfalls, and rushed over.
Jian Shenyue, who had just rushed out of the waterfall, suddenly became panicked, and shouted urgently, "Help! Help! "Behind the waterfall was a high platform in the distance, and between the high platform and the waterfall was an abyss, and he thought that behind the waterfall was a smooth road, and there would be no traps. Unexpectedly, as soon as he rushed out, he fell down due to weightlessness.
A swift whip flung down, Sword Shenyue grabbed the whip tightly with his left hand, and the sword in his right hand plunged into the steep wall, leaping up and standing firmly. A masked old man in front of him, his right palm slashed towards the door in front of him, and the sword Shenyue rushed quickly, dodging from the right side of the old man, and rushed back with his sword.
I saw that the old man's eyes were shining, and the two fingers of his right hand tightly clamped the long sword in the hand of Jian Shenyue, the green tendons on his forehead suddenly rose, and the strength of his whole body surged to his fingertips.
Sword Styx Moon gritted her teeth and pushed the sword forward with great difficulty, but she couldn't use any strength.
"That's how you treat your savior?" The lotus shadow in the distance snorted coldly, and her crimson cheeks looked murderous.
She leaped over with a short sword in her hand, and was about to attack the sword from behind, but was stopped by the masked old man, "Shadow, stand down." ”
Jian Mingyue withdrew half of his strength, looked back at the lotus shadow behind him, and shouted with bared teeth, "What kind of life-saving benefactor, it was this old man who made the first move, okay." ”
The masked old man retracted his fingers, walked past Jian Shenyue quickly, and walked quickly towards the building in the distance, smiling as he walked, "Haha, yes, the kid's kung fu is not bad." ”
Jian Shenyue arched his hand and glanced around, in the grand underground cave, there was such a world, behind the attic of the three-story building in the distance of the high platform was actually a mysterious palace palace, and the fine beam of light on the dome was projected throughout the underground palace.
The stone pillars on the steep walls around supported the boulders on the dome, and the first time he had seen such a grand underground temple was under the Yuquan Fang. He looked at the figure of the masked old man in the distance, and asked respectfully, "Dare to ask the seniors who are..."
"The old man's name is not enough to worry about." The masked old man waved his hand and motioned for Lotus Shadow to retreat.
Lotus Shadow quickly retreated, and as she left, she snorted softly, "What do you want to do when you come to Yuquanfang?" ”
"Of course, coming to Yuquanfang is to take a bath and find beautiful women." Jian Shenyue put his hands in front of his chest, looked at everything around him with a subtle expression, and explained seriously.
The corners of the masked old man's eyes wrinkled slightly, obviously he didn't have the patience to spend time here with him, and asked coldly in a somewhat tough tone, "Okay, let's get down to business." The sword idiot sent you here this time? ”
"You don't tell me your real name, why should I tell you." Jian Shenyue took a step forward and stood in the position of Fang Cai Lianying, for fear that someone behind him would make it bad.
"Presumptuous!" Suddenly, a group of black-clothed guards rushed over from the high platform in the distance, staring at the sword and the moon with fierce eyes.
Jian Shenyue quickly rushed to the side of Lotus Shadow, tightly choked Lotus Shadow's fragrant shoulder with his left hand, and looked at the guards who rushed over vigilantly, muttering in his mouth, "Heh, do you want to bully more or less?" The master is not afraid of you. ”
"Boy, do you know this?" The masked old man took out a palm-sized ink-colored unicorn jade pendant from his arms and gently threw it over.
Jian Shenyue pushed the lotus shadow away, jumped over and caught the unicorn jade pendant, his eyes trembled, and he whispered silently, "This... What about my master? ”
As a symbol of the identity of the Remnant Sword Tower, every disciple who worships the Sword Tower has a piece of jade pendant given by his father, and the Qilin Jade is regarded as life by the Remnant Sword Disciples.
Jian Mingyue picked up his unicorn jade from his waist and carefully compared it with the one in his hand, the tears in the corners of his eyes swirled in his eyes, and he couldn't help but drip into the jade pendant in his hand, with a hint of dark light.
"Since you know it, Lingshi is already one of our people, you just need to tell us who else is coming with the Vientiane Department this time?" The masked old man's eyes were slightly closed, and he smiled.
"This... This is a secret in the building, you can't..."Jian Mingyue glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, and then looked at the masked old man, and secretly said in his heart, could it be that the master was coerced by them, and he must not tell them about the secret in the building.
"If you don't say it, won't we know?" Lotus Shadow snorted coldly, raised her head, and walked past him quickly.
"If you tell me where my master is, I will tell you." Jian Shenyue held the two pieces of unicorn jade tightly in both hands, although he knew that this group of people would definitely have evil thoughts about the Vientiane Division, but in order to know the whereabouts of the master, he was willing to take a risk.
Just as he was caught in a dilemma, an old laugh suddenly came from the building.
"Hahaha..."
Jian Mingyue's face changed suddenly, and he looked happy, this was clearly the voice of his master who had been missing for many years, he raised his head to look into the building, and shouted urgently, "Master! ”
