Chapter 12 The Great Shift
In the secret passage, gloomy and dark, empty and quiet, you can't see your fingers, you can only hear each other's heartbeats and breathing, Xiao Zhao obediently lit a fire fold, and in the dark space, a little light was lit.
"Brother Li, have you found Cheng Kun?" Zhang Wuji's figure appeared behind the two of them, Yang Buregret did not follow, presumably persuaded by Zhang Wuji to stay on it.
"No, it's too dark to find." Li Xuan shook his head, the plot advantage can only allow him to grasp the overall situation and understand some general information, but when he arrives at this place, even if Li Xuan has a good memory, it is impossible to remember the process of Zhang Wuji and Xiao Zhao tracking Cheng Kun in the original book, watching TV is okay, if it is a book, this kind of plot will usually be skipped directly.
"Two sons, this way!" Xiao Zhao beckoned to the two, and walked towards the depths of the secret passage with the two of them.
The three of them zigzagged in the passage and walked dozens of feet away, but the road in front of them was broken, and a potholed stone wall blocked the way, Xiao Zhao looked at the two of them helplessly and said: "I have tried dozens of times here, but I have never been able to find the opportunity." ”
"Get out of the way!" Li Xuan looked at the chaotic stone wall, waved his hand, signaled the two to retreat, held the handle of the knife with his backhand, his eyes gradually brightened in the dim firelight, with a loud shout, the steel knife left a bright knife curtain in the dark, and slashed fiercely on the stone wall, the strange thing is that such a violent slash, but there was no big sound, as if what was in front of him was not a stone wall, but a wooden plank, and the steel knife effortlessly sank into the stone wall.
"Huh?" Li Xuan sighed lightly, looking at the stone wall in front of him that did not move at all, just now he had obviously found the texture of the stone wall, this knife seems simple, in fact, it has cut the entire stone wall in front of him along the lines, but the stone wall does not move at all, this situation is the first time since he has been promoted to the master level with his knife technique.
"Brother Li, I'll try." Zhang Wuji stepped forward and said to Li Xuan.
"It's fine." Li Xuan nodded and took two steps back to make room for Zhang Wuji.
Before Zhang Wuji came to the stone wall, he stretched out his hand and pressed on the stone wall, silently felt it, and then silently used Jiuyang Divine Skill, slowly exerting force, the stone wall that was originally immovable slowly moved to the right under Zhang Wuji's huge force, but it was still half stuck in the distance, and under the faint firelight, the neat knife marks at the broken wall could be seen, and even the fire could be reflected.
Zhang Wuji pushed the other half of the stone wall away, but a touch of horror flashed in his eyes when he looked at Li Xuan, the stone wall was more than a foot thick, even if he had achieved the great skill of Jiuyang now, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to penetrate it with one blow, and the power of the son in front of him, who was about the same age as himself, actually cut this stone wall alive, this kind of knife technique was unheard of.
After the stone wall, there is a long passage in front, the three of them walked forward, only to feel that the passage sloped all the way forward, went lower and lower, and walked more than fifty steps, and suddenly appeared in front of several forks, just when the three of them were in a dilemma how to choose, Li Xuan and Zhang Wuji's ears moved at the same time, faintly, they heard a slight footstep in the fork, although the footsteps were slight, and fleeting, but in the silent secret passage, for the two masters of skill, it was extremely clear.
"This way!" Li Xuan knew that this was Cheng Kun luring the three of them to be fooled, but he also had amazing luck waiting for him, and walked in the direction where the footsteps came from without hesitation.
Zhang Wuji was eager for revenge, and followed without thinking too much, only Xiao Zhao hesitated, but seeing that the two had left, he didn't care about following up.
This fork in the road is rugged, the road is also high and low, and the passage is getting narrower and narrower, and in the end it can only allow one person to pass, Xiao Zhao faintly felt that something was wrong, but the two men seemed to have not found anything abnormal, and they could only stomp their feet, suppressing the suspicion in their abdomen and following.
Suddenly, Zhang Wuji, who was walking at the end, felt a gust of wind above his head, and immediately shouted: "Not good!" ”
"Let's go!" Li Xuan naturally felt the strong wind coming from behind him, pulled Xiao Zhao with his backhand, snorted coldly, and strode up, faintly behind him came the curse of Cheng Kun and the sound of iron prying the boulder, followed by a muffled sound, followed by a burst of shaking mountains, as if the entire passage would collapse at any time, Li Xuan did not dare to stay, holding a knife in one hand, and holding Xiao Zhao's boneless waist with the other hand, the steel knife in his hand kept waving, cutting all the gravel that fell in front of him.
Soon, the three of them walked to a stone room, and the boulder that followed was stuck at the door of the stone room, and then there was a loud bang, and the boulder at the door trembled a few times, but Cheng Kun felt that a boulder was not safe, and pushed down a boulder and pressed it on top of the first boulder.
Zhang Wuji tried to perform the Jiuyang Divine Skill a few times, but the boulder blocked at the door did not move at all, but instead made Zhang Wuji tired and panting, and looked back at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan nodded, came to the boulder and drew his knife to cut it out, but this boulder was too big, and with Li Xuan's knife technique, he couldn't completely split the boulder, which made Zhang Wuji and Xiao Zhao, who were full of anticipation, discouraged.
"Childe, it seems that this is a stone room where Mingjiao stores weapons." Xiao Zhao rekindled a fire fold, and after the initial panic, he calmed down a lot, and began to look at the stone room in front of him with some curiosity.
"Xiao Zhao, aren't you afraid?" Zhang Wuji looked at Xiao Zhao with a calm face, without the slightest panic and fear that he imagined an ordinary girl should have.
"The two sons are both martial arts figures, with the two sons here, they will definitely be able to save the day, besides, if the two sons can't do anything, what is the use of Xiao Zhao even if he is afraid?" Xiao Zhao said indifferently.
"Xiao Zhao, you don't look like an ordinary servant girl at all." Zhang Wuji smiled bitterly and shook his head, how could this open-minded mentality make him feel that he was the one who was comforted?
"Yes, ordinary maidservants will not know many secrets that the high-level of the Ming Sect may not know, and ordinary young ladies will not find maids who are more beautiful than themselves." Li Xuan casually picked up a rusty iron gun and said boredly.
"Brother Li, what are you talking about?" Zhang Wuji looked at Xiao Zhao suspiciously, although he didn't mind too much about beauty and ugliness, he could accept the spider, not to mention Xiao Zhao, but the next moment, his eyes seemed to be pulled by someone, and he couldn't move for a long time, staring at Xiao Zhao's face.
"Zhang Gongzi, why are you looking at Xiao Zhao so much?" Xiao Zhao was a little cramped by Zhang Wuji's sluggish gaze, subconsciously touched his cheek, and suddenly let out an exclamation.
Just now she was just trying to escape, and the things on her face that were originally used to disguise her appearance fell in a panic, but she was already scared stupid at that time, and she didn't notice it, and when she was mentioned at this time, she was surprised to find that the ornament she used to disguise her appearance disappeared at some point.
A pair of smart eyes, trimming eyebrows and nose, pear vortex on the side of pink cheeks, well-behaved and lovely, although he is still young, his figure has not yet grown up, and there is a childishness between his eyebrows, but he can't hide his beautiful appearance, for a while, Zhang Wuji was a little stupid, until Li Xuan patted him on the shoulder and reacted, and said: "Xiao Zhao, you are so beautiful." ”
"Thank you for the compliment." Xiao Zhao nodded shyly, but his eyes secretly glanced at Li Xuan, who was smiling, different from Zhang Wuji's sluggish woodenness, Li Xuan's eyes were pure appreciation, after all, compared to the immature and young Xiao Zhao, Li Xuan still had more love for Zhang Xiaorou's fiery personality.
After resting in the stone chamber for a while, the three of them buried the gunpowder in the stone chamber into the blocked secret passage as in the original book, and accidentally opened the entrance to another passage with a wild and indiscriminate bombardment.
Desperate to survive, although this passage may not be the way to live, but at least there is a hope, the three of them walked along the passage and walked forty or fifty zhang away, and arrived at another stone chamber again, this stone chamber is huge, there are stalactites hanging down on the top, and the three of them are in the center of the stone chamber, looking for the remains of Yang Dingtian and his wife.
"This is the Great Shift, right?" Li Xuan found a piece of parchment from the hand of a skeleton, picked it up and checked it repeatedly, but saw that one side was hairy, and the other side was very smooth, and the reason was a little unknown.
"Childe, you can try to drip blood on the sheepskin." Xiao Zhao reminded on the side.
"It's fine." Li Xuan nodded, pulled out the steel knife, slashed at his fingertips, and stretched his fingers to the parchment.
In the faint light of the fire, as the blood dripped on the parchment, the originally plain parchment suddenly changed, and the lines began to appear by themselves, and at the same time, the voice of the system prompt sounded in Li Xuan's ears: "Congratulations to the host for obtaining the top skill of the Ming Sect - the Great Shift of Qiankun, because this exercise has not yet been translated, it cannot be cultivated for the time being." ”
"It's Persian." Xiao Zhao's eyes flashed with a flash of light, and he said softly.
"Xiao Zhao, do you know Persian?" Li Xuan turned his head and looked at Xiao Zhao with burning eyes.
Different from Jiuyang Divine Skill, Li Xuan originally had the mentality of ambition to achieve the Great Movement of Qiankun, and the Great Movement of Qiankun is not an internal mental method, but an extremely advanced method of transporting gold, which has all kinds of wonderful uses such as storing strength and gathering energy, pulling and moving energy, and can help people tap their own potential, in Li Xuan's view, this Great Shift of Qiankun is far more practical than Jiuyang Divine Skill.
Although Li Xuan has now mastered the essence of the knife technique, just like before, he can find the lines on the boulder at the moment when the blade touches the boulder, so as to effortlessly chop the Qianjun stone wall lightly, but he said that the use of power is far from home, this kind of top-level exercises that are biased towards moves, far like the so-called divine skills such as "Jiuyang Divine Skill" make him even more excited, if he can practice this skill, Li Xuan believes that even if his strength does not break through to the realm of third-rate generals, it is enough to kill third-rate generals.
"I understand a little bit." Xiao Zhao nodded reservedly.
"Then translate it for me."
