Chapter 42: Trouble is coming
Back in Cangyuan Mansion, Pan Long's heart relaxed a little.
What he can do for Cangyuan and Bai Yingxuan has already been done. If things work out well, everyone is happy. If this still ends in tragedy, then he can't help it.
From tomorrow onwards, he is not going to live here, but to live in the inn where Bai Yingxuan lives.
As long as conditions permit, he will always stay there to prevent Bai Yingxuan from being killed by the Cang family or a master who doesn't know where he came from.
Although the Cang family is a high-ranking official of the imperial court, it is estimated that there are not too many masters who can be used privately, and there is a real grandmaster who is in the sky, and it is unlikely that it is the peak of a great grandmaster like the ancestor Ren Changsheng, and even a figure who can compete with the immortals.
At most, they are characters like Li Wu who have not stepped into the realm of grandmasters for many years.
In the face of such a master, even if he can't beat him, he has to stop the other party so that the other party can't kill people silently, and he can do it after all.
And the grandmasters always want to save face, and it is impossible to be stopped by themselves and still stalk. What's more, this Nanxia City is the capital of Gyeonggi and the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is not a place where you can casually let two real grandmasters fight for 300 rounds.
As long as he was stopped by himself, the grandmaster could only give up. Then, as long as Bai Yingxuan stayed in Nanxia City honestly and didn't go out, and when Cang Yuan found a way to persuade the elders in the family, the matter would be over.
In the whole process, it doesn't necessarily take Gu Wen's shot. He went to Gu Wen and told Gu Wen about it, just hoping that Gu Wen could help a little at the critical moment.
Pan Long is not the one he was when he was a fledgling, he has been wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he at least knows that there is no white lotus in the old rivers and lakes.
Gu Wen, an old-timer who doesn't even want his own life, must be as strong as iron. Even if he had a crush on Bai Yingxuan and Cang Yuan, it was unlikely that he would let his own plan fail in order to help them.
He certainly wouldn't mind helping a little if it was appropriate. But if the situation is not suitable, even if Cang Yuan dies in front of him, don't expect him to make a move.
...... However, it is enough to be able to help a little when the situation is right.
Maybe it's just a little bit worse by then?
Pan Long carefully tipped out his plan of action to make sure that there were no obvious problems, and then he put his mind at ease and slept peacefully.
Today is probably the only night in the future when I can sleep soundly.
Early the next morning, he took the initiative to find Cangyuan. Without waiting for Cang Yuan to speak, he told Cang Yuan, saying that he was going to move out and live in that inn.
Cang Yuan immediately understood what he meant, clenched his fists, and his face was full of gratitude.
A world-famous young man, the number one master of the younger generation of Daxia today, is willing to put down his body and become a bodyguard for a good prostitute, which is naturally to give him face.
This face is too big, too big to be more than he expected.
He was going to just ask Pan Long to take a look once in a while......
"Brother Pan, Cang...... Cang...... I can't thank you!" he even trembled a little in his voice, "If there is anything that can be used for me in the future, as long as a letter, thousands of mountains and rivers, swords and mountains and seas of fire, the abyss will never say anything!"
After saying that, he bowed deeply and turned to leave, his steps firm.
Pan Long smiled, carried a small bag of luggage, and went straight to the inn and opened a guest room to stay.
The rooms in this inn are quite rigorously designed, and there is a special floor for female guests. On this floor, even the guy who brings tea and water is a woman.
Pan Long naturally couldn't live in the "female guest floor", but for him, as long as he was within a hundred zhang of the neighborhood, it didn't matter where he was.
If someone could silently break into this area and kill people without letting him know about it...... Then even if he saw it, he probably wouldn't be able to stop it.
Not long after he stayed, he saw Gu Wen pushing a wheelbarrow, parked near the inn, and went about his business.
During the whole process, Gu Wen didn't look up at the inn.
Bai Yingxuan didn't buy dolls today, she stayed in the room to study. At lunchtime, she went downstairs to take the pulse of a patient with diarrhea, and then prescribed a dose of medicine.
"After drinking the medicine, you can rest, if you are hungry today, you can drink some sugar water, and do not eat. She advised, "If you still have diarrhea, come back to me." If you don't have diarrhea, you can drink some porridge tomorrow night. For the next five days, avoid greasy and salty and spicy. ”
Looking at her gentle and serious appearance, Pan Long couldn't help but think of the many doctors and doctors he had seen in his past and present lives.
Their level of medical skill varies, but most of them do.
Even if she can treat people with such intentions, it is worth me to be her bodyguard!)
He nodded slightly in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.
In the evening, a servant came to the inn and met him.
"Mr. Pan, Childe asked me to tell you in person, saying that things are going well. The second master scolded him, but he still went to the old lady...... After coming back, he scolded him again, saying, 'I have never been so quiet in front of the emperor', 'You wait to be a cow and a horse to return me'. Childe said, when this matter is over, I will invite the two of you to drink. ”
When Pan Long heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"It's best if things go well. "I'm going to stay here until it's over and give him peace of mind." ”
The little guy nodded in memory, and then hurriedly left.
Pan Longmu saw him leave, and was about to go back, but he heard Gu Wen's voice.
"This kid has been spelled, what he just said may not be all true, you catch up and take a look. ”
Pan Long was startled and turned his head to look, only to see that Gu Wen was still busy doing business, and he didn't even glance at this side.
It's just that when he looked at the puppet stall, he clearly saw that the Suzaku Gang bamboo plaque hanging on the stall suddenly stopped when it was swaying in the wind, and then returned to its original state.
This hint is enough!
Pan Long immediately rushed out of the inn, and when he appeared on the street, he was already a squinting man with a scar on his face, and his figure was slightly thinner and taller.
He followed the trail of the little guy's departure, and soon found the little guy. This person was walking on the road in a hurry, looking at the direction, he should be rushing to Cangfu.
(Goodwin said that he was spelled and may have lied, so what lie did he tell?)
(Which of those words are true, and which ones are false?)
Pan Long secretly calculated in his heart, and decided to wait a while and ask Cangyuan directly.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and an inexplicable alarm arose.
Before he could think about it, Pan Long exerted force under his feet, and the whole person rose into the sky, rushing into the air at once.
For masters of the real realm, fighting in the air is much more convenient than on the ground, and they can move and dodge in all directions, which is most suitable for the weak enemy to be strong.
Although I don't know who I want to deal with, I will definitely not make a big mistake by putting myself in a weaker position first.
Sure enough, before he flew into the sky, he saw that where he was originally standing, the ground shook slightly, and a solid stone laid on the ground suddenly cracked, especially where he was about to take a step forward, the whole stone turned into powder, broken to the point that it could no longer be broken.
This made him can't help but feel on fire - although he didn't know who the other party was, this person was a lethal method as soon as he made a move, which had already angered him.
Then, he felt the air around him suddenly freeze, and in the void, it seemed as if a pair of invisible hands were grasping him, trying to crush him.
The sword flashed, the cicada's wing knife slashed, and the invisible hand collapsed.
Pan Long stood with a knife in his hand and said coldly: "If you want to kill me, this little trick is not enough. Come out!"
An old sigh came, and in the distance in the clouds, an old man with a white beard walked out.
Immediately after, with a sneer, a figure rose into the sky, stopping next to it, but it was a burly man with a scar on his face.
Then, the surrounding air shook slightly, and a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe appeared like a photograph, nodded at Pan Long, and then disappeared without a trace.
Pan Long frowned.
Of the three people, he could only recognize one, and that was the burly man.
If he remembers correctly, this person should be named Jingwan, and the people of the rivers and lakes call him "Shenxing Gluttony". He is a world-famous killer of the real realm, and has killed more than one real person.
...... But the last time this man appeared, it was more than 20 years ago.
As for the other two, the old man's aura was somewhat similar to Cang Yuan, and he might be the elder of the Cang family. But the middle-aged Taoist priest, he couldn't recognize it at all.
"I really have a face. He sneered and said, "I can let the ancestor of the Cang family take two people who have already withdrawn from the rivers and lakes for many years, and the three of them join forces to ambush - the three of them look up to Pan very much." ”
The old man's expression was grim, and he said: "My Cang family stands by the art of war, and naturally understands the truth of 'the lion fights the rabbit and uses all his strength'. The murder weapon of the soldier is also used by the gentleman as a last resort. Therefore, if you use it, you must be able to succeed, otherwise it is better not to use it. ”
Pan Long nodded: "This is reasonable, but I am a little curious." Didn't the three of them think about the consequences before they got into trouble with Pan?"
"Of course I did. The old man said, "If you run away today, at most twenty years later, you will be able to come to the Shendu Cangfu and cut off the old man's head in public, and then I am afraid that no one in the world will be able to stop you." And if you die, I'm afraid that in less than twenty years, someone will come to cut off the old man's head, and it is estimated that no one will be able to stop him at that time. ”
"In that case, why do you want to die?"
Although the old man said very dejectedly, the momentum on his body did not weaken at all, but became stronger and stronger: "Zihai (Cangyuan Zihai) is the hope of my Cang family in the future, if he marries a fireworks woman as his wife, he will become the laughing stock of the world." In order to stop this, it is okay for the old man to lose his head. ”
Pan Long frowned and persuaded: "Whether a person is looked down upon depends on what he does. If Brother Cang can promote the success of the Fa change, then he will be a character who has been famous for the ages, what is the point of a few flaws? If he fails to change the Fa, I am afraid that the Cang family will give him a funeral and marry a good prostitute, what does it matter?"
The old man shook his head: "A gentleman must be cautious from small things. If Zihai is eternal, then the old man will not allow his reputation to be flawed. And if my Cang family is buried for the change of law, I can't let him have another notorious reputation for corrupting his personal morality. ”
He looked at Pan Long with a grim expression and said, "Pan Yiwen, the old man is old, and he is afraid of death. It's also good to live twenty more years. So would you please leave for half an hour now?"
Pan Long shook his head: "Entrusted by people, loyal to people." Brother Cang and I are like-minded, and I can't watch him beat up a bachelor. ”
The old man sighed and said, "Do it." ”
Before the words fell, a sword light had already reached Pan Long's back heart, and it was cold, almost soaking through the flesh.
Pan Long waved the cicada wing knife, the sword light was like snow, and he didn't need to turn around, he was already slashed on the sword light. But when the sword light and the sword light met, they slashed into the air. The sword light suddenly burst out, as if it had never existed.
In an instant, the sword light appeared on the top of Pan Long's head again, and by a fraction of a millimeter, it was scattered by the sword light, but it still did not stab him.
In the next few moments, that sword light continued to appear around Pan Long like a phantom. Pan Long waved the cicada wing knife into a cloud of snowy sword light, protecting himself, but it was still inevitable that there were some gaps, and he had to retreat again and again to avoid being stabbed by the sword light.
In just two or three breaths, it felt as if hours had passed.
Fortunately, after a few breaths, the figure of the middle-aged Taoist appeared by the clouds in the distance, and some beads of sweat appeared on his face.
"Sure enough, it's terrifying!" he said, "Although Lao Dao is not good at fighting, at least he still has some confidence in this Void Sword Shadow Technique, and he has always felt that as long as I can use it in secret, even if it is an immortal demon god, I am afraid that I will suffer a big loss in a hurry." Under immortality, even if you don't die, you will be seriously injured. As a result, I attacked a round just now, but I didn't even cut off a single hair of you. No wonder you are regarded as the number one master of the younger generation, and under the fame, there is no deficiency!"
Pan Long's eyes lit up and asked, "Could it be that the Taoist is from Qingcheng Mountain in Yizhou?"
The Taoist shook his head: "My identity, it's inconvenient to tell you." But this Void Sword Shadow Technique is indeed related to the Void Sword Technique of Qingcheng Mountain. ”
"Qingcheng and Qionglai have always been good friends......"
"Lao Dao knows that you are the outstanding junior loved by Qionglai Yijian Ren Changsheng, if you have a choice, Lao Dao will never dare to provoke the peerless swordsman who has fought with Kongkonger for seven days. But as you say, trust by men, loyal to people. The old way has no choice. ”
He sighed and said, "Look at the sword!"
In the blink of an eye, another sword shadow appeared in the void, but this time it was not one, but two.
The two sword shadows did not attack, but only vibrated in the air, and then slammed into each other, scattering into countless lights and shadows.
The middle-aged Taoist snorted, his face was slightly pale, and blood flowed from his nostrils.
But the scattered but countless lights and shadows turned into countless sword shadows.
He wiped his nosebleed and said, "The old Taoist has been cultivating for forty years, and he has innovated from the Void Sword Shadow Technique, creating a sword and several shadow techniques. Since the creation of this method, you have not encountered an enemy, and you are the first!"
