Chapter VII: The First Fragment
By the time I came to my senses, I was lying on the outskirts of Bianjing.
I thought it was a dream, but when I saw the Deserted City Sword standing next to me, I rubbed my eyes and patted my face.
As you can imagine, this is not a dream, and what is in front of me is indeed a deserted city sword.
It's just that I've been in a coma until now, and when I wake up and lie in the suburbs of Bianjing, why is it still night?
Could it be that I slept until the next day?
I quickly unwrapped the burden and stuffed the silver taels inside and the "Liangyi Pure Yang Gong" in my arms.
Wrapped the Deserted City Sword with a baggage.
People all over the world are touched by you, and if you are swaggered, I am afraid that every day will be troublesome.
If you don't deal with this deserted city sword in time, I'm afraid it will only bring the disaster of killing.
It's just that it's getting late now, and I'll find a way to deal with it another day.
Now the urgency of delay is to go beyond the palace walls to find tenderness.
After saying that, I set off with the Deserted City Sword on my back, but, to be honest, this sword is really heavy.
I came to the place agreed with Wen Rou, hoping that he would take me into the palace.
But I looked left and right, and there was no one.
Suddenly, someone jumped up from the wall and tapped me on the shoulder.
"What the hell did you go to, I waited for you for so long, I thought you went to find the teacher again, and you won't come again."
I quickly apologized.
"Don't be Young Master Wen, I just have something important to do, of course I'll come. There are so many guards here, I've taken a big turn. ”
"Hmph, it's so late, if I don't come again, I'll go in by myself, I'm too lazy to wait."
I bent down and apologized: "Forget my fault, don't be surprised by Mr. Wen, then how do we get in, or do you know someone." Or bribe the guards? ”
Gentleness pointed to the wall.
"Bribery? How could I possibly bribe someone. Oh, just climb through this wall, how simple. ”
I touched the heavy sword behind my back.
"Be quiet, don't get discovered."
Gently and playfully looked at me: "What are you afraid of, coward." ”
I looked up at the palace wall in front of me, and the ancient palace was really magnificent, like a red mountain, towering in front of me.
If you don't carry the Deserted City Sword on your back, maybe you can still use the light skills of Liangyimen to try it. But the sword was so heavy that I was out of breath just by carrying it on my back.
"How can you climb over such a high palace wall? Seeing how confident you looked, I thought you had some good idea. Enter the palace at night, in case you are discovered......"
Gently crossed his hands on his waist and said a little angrily: "You are really a coward, I am not afraid of a girl, what are you afraid of as a big man." ”
I'm just thinking about the big picture, wait? She said she was a girl??? I patted my head and suddenly realized that there were so many clues that I should have noticed before, I thought it was a man in front of me, and there were often thorns in his words, although it was interesting, but it was inevitable that I was a little unhappy in my heart. After learning that Wen Rou was not Gongzi Wen, but a rude and lovely Wen girl, I felt that I shouldn't worry about her, maybe it was not bad.
"Are you disguised as a man?" I asked, confused.
"You're not only cowardly, you're also stupid. The teacher girl can see at a glance that only you are still in the dark. ”
Gently and playfully looking left and right at me.
Suddenly a little angry said: "Hmph, this girl understands." You didn't even look at me squarely, that's why you didn't see it, did you? ”
I shook my head helplessly.
"No, no, Miss Wen, I didn't expect that. I was a little offended by my words before, please forgive me. ”
"Forgiveness is a long time ago, so I don't care about you. Otherwise, I won't take you into the palace. Also, you just call me gentle. I don't like people who just called me Miss Wen, and then ran to find someone else, Miss Wang, Miss Li. ”
"But don't you call yourself this girl?"
Gentle kicked me and said.
"It's what I'm happy to. Anyway, I just don't like men calling me that, with their rhetoric. ”
It's not gentle at all.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The sky was getting darker, and the lights were lit up outside the imperial city. At a glance, Bianjing is brilliantly lit, like a sea of stars.
Compared with the stars in the sky, it is really high and low.
"In that case, I would take the liberty of calling him by his first name. Gentle, the palace wall is so high, do we have to use light work? ”
Gently and confidently patted his chest.
"Of course, I'll fly off the wall."
It's good to be gentle, but it's a pity that I'm not a fool of myself, and I'm adding this deserted city sword.
"Of course you are strong in martial arts, and this city wall is naturally not a problem. But I'm just starting to do it, I'm afraid I won't be able to fly in. ”
Gently patted me on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, this girl won't leave you. When this group of guards patrols over, I'll take you in. ”
Wait for a group of guards to pass, and gently use stones as hidden weapons to extinguish a few lights in the distance, attracting another team of guards to pass.
Gentleness suddenly grabbed my arm, lifted it hard, stepped on the wall, jumped down again, and slowly landed, all in one go.
Of course, when flying, I also try to do it myself as much as possible to reduce the pressure of gentleness.
"This is coming in?"
"Well, my light skills are not bad." Look at me gently and confidently.
I nodded.
I only heard the guards say
"What people! Go over and take a look. ”
I was a little excited, and I didn't hold back my voice for a moment, and I was heard by the guards patrolling nearby, but they didn't see us.
Together with Gentleness, I carefully bypassed the trees and behind the houses, and finally managed to hide in a slightly safer place.
"By the way, you haven't told me yet, what are you doing in the palace? If there is a bad plot, I will not help the abuse? Gentle stared at me.
"I really don't know how to explain it. In short, it is to find a roll of paper to ensure that it will not hurt others. ”
"Looking for a roll of paper? What kind of paper, besides, the palace is so big, where is that paper? Gently looked at me suspiciously.
I took out the map and worked with Gentle to orient myself, and found that the first fragment was in a house near us.
"Looks like it's in the house over there, and when the patrol guards get away, let's go in."
"Good. By the way, I don't know what you are doing in the palace yet? ”
Look at me with a gentle smile.
"I don't do anything, I just think it's fun, and the more people don't come in, the more I want to come in and see."
......
"You've got a lot of personality. Since you don't have anything serious to do, come in with me. ”
Gentle wanted to kick me again, but fortunately I reacted quickly and took a step back.
"What do you mean by nothing serious? For this girl, play is the right thing to do! ”
"I don't think you're a kid anymore, how do you know how to play?"
Gentle hands on the waist, a bright face.
"This girl is good-looking, gentle and considerate, her ability is not weak, and she can't spend all her money, so she needs to think about other things?"
That's just as well.
We waited in the dark for a moment, dodging the eunuchs and palace maids who passed by from time to time, and took advantage of the gap in the rotation of the guards to burrow into the room.
The lights flickered, and I looked at the marker on the map, searched the room for a long time, and finally determined the location of the marker.
I saw a worn-out parchment roll in the cabinet, a little dull yellow in color, but it was not peculiar, and I didn't see anything important.
"A few years ago, I heard that the once peerless martial arts were scattered all over the world, and now there are only ten volumes left. According to the rumored description. Is this one of those pages? ”
Gentle looked at the parchment roll in surprise.
"Peerless martial arts? That makes some sense. "I do remember these things.
I picked up the parchment and looked at the three words on it.
Heartbreaker
"These peerless divine skills are scattered all over the world, and no one knows who they are, how did you know that one of the pages of these ten volumes of divine skills is in this palace?" Gently asked suspiciously.
"I'm not doing anything bad, and I don't want to hide these martial arts secrets, it's just that I haven't figured out how to explain them to you."
She nodded softly and looked at me in disbelief.
"You and I have only known each other for two days, and there are some things that are inconvenient to tell me, and I understand. So what are you going to do with this set of palms, do you want to teach yourself? ”
I shook my head
"My internal strength foundation is low, and my light skills have also begun to be completed, so I'm afraid it will be inconvenient. If you can, I hope you can accept it. ”
Although someone asked me to collect ten fragments, it was useless for me to hold it myself, wouldn't it be better if I could help some people in need, and besides, I believe in gentleness, so I naturally dared to give her this peerless martial art.
But the gentle hands refused.
"I don't want it, my martial arts are world-famous, you don't need this heart-destroying palm technique, you better keep it for yourself."
After speaking, there were bursts of footsteps outside the palace, far and near, and Wen Wen and I both held our breath.
It seems that this place is not suitable for a long time, and I also obtained the first divine power fragment according to the letter. It is important to hurry up and find the remaining fragments scattered all over the place.
But does these 10 fragments have anything to do with my background? Why did you want me to find these ten fragments, if I am afraid that the bad guys will take them away and make them lawless, but I still have some confusion.
It was to let me learn on my own now. With my current martial arts attainments, it is quite difficult to learn these, and even if I learn them, I have no foundation. What's more, if others know that the Deserted City Sword and the peerless cheats are on me, I'm afraid I won't even be able to step out in the future.
I looked at Gentleness and, without her noticing, tucked Heartbreaker into her belt.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's better for us to get out of here quickly. I'll tell you when I have the chance. ”
Gentle nodded
"That's a word. Hey, there's nothing fun about the black rumbling in this palace, it's boring. ”
Speaking of which, gentleness is indeed innocent, if it were someone else, she would definitely fight with me for martial arts cheats and fight to the death, but for her, since she doesn't want it, she doesn't want it.
"Then let's find a way to go out, maybe the night view of Bianjing City is prosperous at this moment."
"It's okay, it just so happens that this girl is also a little hungry, so I'll take you to Sanhe Building for a full meal."
With that said, it's true that I've been close to a day without eating.
I nodded.
He was gentle and ready to leave this place.
We came out of the house and slipped down to the city walls, hoping to take advantage of the protection of the walls and return to the palace the way we came.
I don't know if it's because the palace has not been quiet recently, there are people standing guard everywhere, and the guards who patrol the night come and go with each other.
We walked cautiously against the wall, but we were illuminated by a lantern that reflected our shadows on the wall.
Gently grabbed my wrist and tried to leap over the city wall, but he didn't expect to be blocked by Senro's bow and arrow in mid-air, so he had to land inside the palace.
Look at me gently.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"My husband is not afraid of danger, and I am not afraid at all."
Gentleness at this time, don't forget to kick me.
"It's okay, don't be verbose if you have the ability."
No ability, no ability.
When the guards heard the noise, they came from all directions, and the lanterns became more and more, illuminating the area as if it were day.
In the blink of an eye, Gentleness and I knocked a circle of guards to the ground. Helplessly, there were more and more guards, and rows of archers on the city wall were on standby.
"I didn't think your martial arts skills were good!"
"Now is not the time to laugh...... It's not a way to go on like this, how about being gentle with your light work. ”
"Needless to say, you've seen it too. If I hadn't been able to bear to leave you, I would have flown out a long time ago. Gentle said very confidently.
I pointed to the corner tower to the west.
"Do you see that turret over there? There are no guards there, and most of the guards should be gathered here. How long will it take you to fly from here to there? ”
Gently looked at the corner tower, and then at me.
"If I fly by myself, it won't be in the blink of an eye. But if I want to take you with me, it doesn't have to be. ”
"Gentle, you listen to me this time, I'll count one, two, three, you don't have to worry about me, just fly to the corner tower."
Gentle looked at me in amazement.
"So what do you do? I said, I can't leave you behind. If I bring you in, you will have to go out in peace. ”
"My Miss Wen, just listen to me. Have you forgotten how I managed to hide from the guards outside the palace? ”
Gently looked at me and felt that there was no way but to do what I did.
I nodded. She looked at me with uneasy eyes.
When I counted to three, I pushed Wen Wen out, and she glanced at me, then jumped to her feet, stepped on the shoulders and heads of the guards, and flew immediately to the corner tower.
And I was not to be outdone, and I used my half-unassuming light skills to chase after him, rushing out of the crowd and rushing in the direction of the corner tower. But this Deserted City Sword is really too heavy.
When Wen Rou arrived at the corner tower, she saw that I had not yet followed, and that it was getting slower and slower, and that she was about to be overtaken by the guards behind her, and she turned back.
I panted.
"You...... Why are you back again? ”
"I didn't see it, you were quite fast, but you couldn't run after a while."
"I'm tired, this sword is too heavy. You just leave me alone and go by yourself. I waved my hand and motioned for gentleness and brisk walking.
"Then it's good to throw this sword away, and this girl is not a person without conscience, how could she leave you alone. If I say that again, I'm going to be angry. I'm really angry! Hum. ”
I didn't expect that until now, Miss Wen is still so rude and willful, but she is endearing.
The guards soon caught up and surrounded us. The spearmen stepped back, and a line of archers came up, and the archers on the walls were ready.
Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a general-like man on the city wall, drawing his bow and preparing to cast a cold arrow at Gentleness.
I didn't have time to think about it, and with the last of my strength, I grabbed the arrow less than an inch away from gentleness in the last moment.
Then I couldn't take it anymore, and my right hand was reaching out for the arrows, when suddenly my eyes went black, and I lost consciousness in a daze.
In what little bit of consciousness I had left, I heard tenderness calling me. Some feelings are amplified. It was as if I had been lifted up in the air, rising and falling rapidly.
The sound of the wind was loud, like the sound of spring drizzle. Maybe it wasn't the wind, but a string of breaths of peace and stability.
