Chapter 10: The Man in Black
Unconsciously trained in the Qianyuan Hall for more than ten days, Xie Lingxu's adaptability was so strong that it was beyond his imagination, and he felt that he was no longer tired after running, and he could still scold himself in a uniform tone. Archery skills have also improved a lot, although they can't shoot the bull's-eye, but every arrow can be shot at the target. The swordsmanship is also advancing by leaps and bounds, Xie Lingxu holds the sword with one hand, and every sword cut on the stake will leave obvious dents, and the original three-foot-wide stake has been cut to less than a foot. Xie Lingxu doubted whether he was born to fight.
In the afternoon, he was chopping wood vigorously, when he was suddenly interrupted by Fang Xun's shoulder, and subconsciously returned a sword, almost splitting his Xiuya's little head in half.
"What are you doing? Look for death! ”
Fang Xun had an expression on his face that was about to suffocate to death, and Xie Lingxu raised his eyebrows
"You're going to give birth?"
Fang Xun's face was full of embarrassment, "I don't know what I ate yesterday, my stomach hurts all morning, I really can't hold it back, and I won't want anything if I don't go to the thatched house." Ay...... But now we have to send these to the Floating Dream Pavilion. ”
Xie Lingxu saw the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in his hand, put down the short sword, and nodded at Fang Xun
"Well, I know, give me something, you go quickly, I'll wait for you here."
"It's not for you to wait for me, you...... You can send it to me for me. ”
What-
"No, no."
"Sister Lingxu, you can help me!"
"I'm not familiar with this place, can't you find someone else?"
"They're practicing swords, and I'm afraid to disturb them."
Damn, dare I don't practice swords? You can just bother with poor labor qualifications, right?
Seeing that Fang Xun's tears were about to be squeezed out, Xie Lingxu reluctantly agreed to him.
Fang Xun stuffed the object in his hand to Xie Lingxu
"Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, my sister's great kindness and little brother's last days are unforgettable."
Fang Xun hugged his fist and ran away. His thin shoulders reveal a bookish smell from head to toe.
Fang Xun did some chores around the king of You, sorted out the book account, he stayed in the Yuan Hall when he was young, followed the king of You for more than ten years, it is said that he was rescued by the king of You, when he rescued him, he was already delirious, maybe because he was young, he was very stimulated, he forgot many things, only remembered his surname Fang Mingxun, and the rest did not know.
Holding the high-grade pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, he strode and stared at the closed door of the Floating Dream Pavilion, Xie Lingxu thought to himself, Chu Xiu didn't have to be idle all day, why didn't he look for him? Turning his head, he saw Chu Xiu training people with his waist crossed
"Are you wood! You don't have to hide until he cuts your face, your brain is gnawed by a pig! And you, you have kidney deficiency, you look like you are dying with weak energy, and the wild dogs in the backyard are not as cowardly as you! ”
Forget it, he's quite busy scolding.
As soon as he approached the Floating Dream Pavilion, the door creaked open.
Damn, what the is this?
When I raised my eyes, I saw that the white dressed King Youwang on the moss-blue desk was persistently playing the folding, his long hair splashing like ink was leaning behind him, and a few strands were hanging down on his chest, like an ancient painting that was naturally carved and decorated.
Xie Lingxu was stunned, forgetting that there was a king in the Floating Dream Pavilion, the relationship between the two was awkward, he seemed to have his uncle a few days ago, damn, why didn't he hold back at the time, he scolded directly, how to mix in the future?
Seeing that he didn't raise his head and looked at the recital, Xie Lingxu put down the things lightly, stood stupidly for two or three minutes, Xie Lingxu raised his feet and took a step back, just wanted to leave, and heard King You's sudden voice, and his voice was extremely low
"Grinding."
"Oh." Xie Lingxu pretended to respond calmly, and cursed secretly in his heart,, grind ink, how can I do this thing, just put this black pestle on this inkstone.
Xie Lingxu rubbed the ink ingot back and forth on the inkstone, and for about five minutes, he thought to himself why no ink came out at all, could it be that I wasn't strong enough? Looks like we're going to have to work a little harder.
"Add water." The king still didn't raise a look
"Oh...... I'm sorry. "Isn't you stupid to yourself, dry grinding!
Xie Lingxu searched the table for a while, added some water from the water bowl to the inkstone, and studied the ink in a regular manner
King You finally put down the fold, picked up a brush, spread out the rice paper, dipped it in some ink, and the pen went to write with a dragon and snake.
- wearing such white, he is not afraid of ink splashing on his clothes.
The king of You still didn't say a word, the silence between the two filled the air, and the surroundings were too quiet, as if they were in an empty wasteland, and there were only King You who bowed his head silently on the boundless realm, and Xie Lingxu who stood with his hands on the side.
Damn, why didn't Fang Xun, who killed a thousand knives, come to change shifts? When the can labor and management go? Glancing at King You's side face, Xie Lingxu raised his foot and took a step back, and before his foot touched the ground, he came back up. Forget it, wait a little longer.
Xie Lingxu was idle and bored, and looked around at the collection of books around the Floating Dream Pavilion, there were many, too many. The three layers in the library are three layers outside, full of books of different old and new, the layout of the library is very fine, each compartment is the same, it is completely impossible to see where the dark grid was set last time, this is probably the place where the most books are collected in the palace, I don't know if there are unknown secrets are also recorded in these ancient books.
The afterglow of the king of the book swept over Xie Lingxu, who was looking left and right with his negative hand, and his thick and long eyelashes moved slightly.
Xie Lingxu looked at the collection of books in the Ganges River, and secretly brewed something in his heart.
Zhou Fu pushed the door in, looking at the two people who were silent, one white and one black, only to feel that the atmosphere was embarrassing, and he could suffocate himself to death.
He slowly paced to Xie Lingxu's side and whispered to her
"Girl, please step aside."
"Hmm." Xie Lingxu responded.
Zhou Fu saw the emaciated back in front of him gradually move away, turned the pavilion door and disappeared. Then he turned back to the person on the desk and bowed his head.
King You stopped his pen and looked indifferent
"It's growing up very fast, but after all, it's a woman, and she can't become a climate. How did you find out about the Yuzhu thing? ”
"Lord, I found a little."
"Tell me about it."
"It is said that twenty years ago, Lord Si Hu obtained the Jade Bead from the Underworld and dismantled the tricks of the Snake Uncle in the Underworld, but the whereabouts of the jade bead have not been known since...... What the girl has in her hand, perhaps—"
King Yu picked up his pen, and there seemed to be some sarcasm in his tone
"She's just a nobody, it's up to her ......"
"Lord, this girl has good qualifications, and she may be a sharp weapon when she will go out to recruit soldiers in the future."
"Hmph, when does the army need women? Let her come here just to guard against her tricks and intrigues, to see what secrets she is hiding. Just look at her a little bit later. ”
"Yes, subordinates must be on guard."
The conversation in the cabinet stopped abruptly
Xie Lingxu, who was leaning on the door outside the Floating Dream Pavilion, sneered, tilted his head slightly, his eyes were like hooks, and his expression was particularly indifferent.
The afterglow sprinkled the stone path that the lily of the valley had opened, and Xie Lingxu walked with a very depressed chest, inexplicably upset.
There are always some people in the world who like to speculate wantonly, and put an unwarranted green hat on the top of the head of others, making it a funny clown in the eyes, and every move is endowed with unknown meaning. Can a person who lives by himself peek into the people inside through the glass window, and can he really see things as they are from the window where he has splashed dirty water with his own hands?
Xie Lingxu stopped and listened to the wind behind him.
After taking a few steps forward, a strange feeling struck again, stopped and looked back, a maple leaf floated down leisurely, lying quietly on the side of the road, at this moment it was broken but alive, completely and completely, became a dead thing to be trampled on.
I don't know if it's been a nervous breakdown lately, but the feeling of uneasiness these days is a little too strong. Xie Lingxu rubbed his temples and walked towards the emperor's bedroom in a panic.
On the hidden side of the corner, the man in black stood against the wall with his arms crossed, his index finger rhythmically tapped the heavy sword in his arms, and the ink-black mask covered his face tightly, only to see a pair of dark eyes under the slowly fanning eyelashes. Like a ghost hidden in the darkness in the dark, I saw the silver chain hanging down from my waist glowing with a cold light.
The shadow of the oil lamp and candle at the head of the bed flickered, Xie Lingxu stood in front of the table, spread a belt on the table, placed the jade bead on the middle side, folded the other side to wrap it, held the ends of the belt, and placed it on the side of the pillow.
Looking a little dazed, Xie Lingxu put his feet outside the bed, took off the quilt and spread it on his body, and blew out the oil lamp on his side.
The evening breeze rustled the window lattice, and the shadows of the trees outside the window looked cold and desolate in the desolate moonlight, and the night was like a ghostly hand, passing through the windowsill and attacking the quiet and ignorant in their sleep.
Suddenly opened his eyes, the sound of rustling came into his ears, and in the dimness, he saw that the belt next to the pillow moved outward rapidly, Xie Lingxu reached out and grabbed it, but he couldn't hold it. Quickly lifted the sheet, Xie Lingxu stood up straight, but saw a dark shadow passing by outside the window.
Without thinking, he climbed out of the window, and a figure jumped onto the eaves, and Xie Lingxu turned over and chased after him.
The more than ten days in the Trench Yuan Hall have not been in vain. The more flexible the limbs, the lighter the body, and now it is impossible to talk about flying on the wall, but as long as you stabilize your center of gravity and run on the eaves, there is no difference between peace and land.
The man in black was too fast, and it was impossible for him to look at him, and in the blink of an eye, he reconciled Lingxu and opened a very long distance.
Seeing that the man was about to cross his line of sight, Xie Lingxu shouted at him
"Hey—you're looking for this!"
The man in black turned his head, and saw Lingxu holding the blue jade bead that was as bright as the stars in the night, and couldn't help but clench the belt in his hand and slowly turned around.
Xie Lingxu held his leg and gasped
"Whew...... You didn't notice the ...... you had in your hand Is it a fake? ”
Xie Lingxu looked at the man who was facing him at the moment, and thought to himself that something was wrong, in fact, he was not necessarily a man, a mask had blocked his face tightly enough, and he was wearing a black robe with a hood, and it was impossible to distinguish between male and female with a hat.
After following me for so long, I finally showed up. I already felt that after grabbing Fang Xun, the feeling of chill behind my back had not dissipated, and I had already grown a heart in advance, estimating that most of the people who calculated themselves were coming for this jade bead, so I picked up a bead as bait. Now that I think about it, I have been followed for longer than I imagined, and on the first day I came here, I may have been targeted.
"Who are you?"
