Afraid that Shang Qianshui would wait too long, Gao Zhiqi hurriedly returned to the room, but was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he almost fell off the bowl.

I saw that Shang Qianshui was lying on the ground motionless, and the ball rolled into the corner, eerily quiet......

"Sensui!!"

Gao Zhiqi's heart stopped for half a beat in an instant, as if he saw the bottom of the valley under him disappear, and he fell into the endless abyss!

"Ah......" Shang Qianshui's body moved slightly, letting out a sigh of pain.

"A thousand waters!" Seeing that his 'life bottom' could move again, Gao Zhiqi was relieved and then shook again, put down the bowl and walked over to squat to look at him, "Qianshui, are you okay, why are you lying on the ground to scare me?!" ”

"I... I'm sorry......" Shang Qianshui propped up half of his body, bowed his head and apologized, "I was careless just now...... I fell ......"

"Are you alright? Why did you fall and couldn't move?! ”

"I'm ......" Shang Qianshui heard Gao Zhi's displeasure, and his voice was lower, "I just tried to stand up, but I fell down right away." I tried again, and I still fell, and I fell around, and I don't know why......"

"Uh......" Gao Zhiqi suddenly thought of the reason, and quickly apologized softly, "I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, I forgot to tell you." ”

"What?"

"The floor tiles in this room have been trampled down by the martial arts people who came to fight, and they have been loosened in many places, and they must follow the route of 'up, left, left, left, right

"Ah, that's exciting......" but was too embarrassed to tell him that he really wanted to play like this again.

"Let's change rooms and eat noodles again!" Seeing that Shang Qianshui was able to sit up, Gao Zhiqi took advantage of the situation to hug him horizontally. This movement has been done smoothly and skillfully, because this posture will only touch the back, which can avoid confrontation with the cold in front of him, so it has naturally become the safest position between him and Shang Qianshui!

Shang Qianshui didn't say anything, and seemed to accept being abandoned by Gao Zhi as naturally......

Following the correct route, Gao Zhi abandoned Shang Qianshui and walked to the corner of the wall, let him pick up the ball that rolled down, and then returned along the road, through two human-shaped wall holes, to another room that was connected.

It's the same empty room, but at least every floor tile is solid, except for the ceiling, which is full of holes of different sizes, and the beams are also broken, and the whole piece is about to collapse at any time...... But it just doesn't collapse!

Shang Qianshui stepped on the ground, holding the ball and looking up at the sky and moon, feeling a thousand things in his heart.

"The mood is good, isn't it?" Gao Zhiqi chuckled and walked over with the bowl of noodle soup. It suddenly occurred to me that when he was in Shangshui Palace that day, when he talked about the leakage of the ceiling, Shang Qianshui also asked him, 'The artistic conception is very good, isn't it?' ’

"Abandon ......"

Thinking that he was really afraid that the roof would collapse, Gao Zhiqi smiled first and explained, "Don't be afraid, it's just the traces left by the fight." Martial arts people like to choose to fight on the roof, not only to show off, but also chivalrous. ”

"Do you fight every day?"

"Fight all the time, fight when you say."

"Ah......" Is this what the book says, a group of heroes compete for hegemony in the martial arts? What are the rivers and lakes like? I'd love to go and see ......

Looking at the stupid, well-behaved and delicate face, I don't know what he was thinking, Gao Zhiqi handed the noodles over, "Come, eat quickly." ”

If it weren't for the troubles, he would have settled Shang Qianshui a long time ago, and there would be no need for him to hide in the inn. Thinking of this, Gao Zhiqi can't help but blame himself.

"It's okay, I'm not hungry." Shang Qianshui said with a smile.

"How is it possible, you haven't ...... all day"

As he spoke, a black shadow flashed across the ground, and Gao Zhiqi raised his head and glared, there was someone on the roof!

Often, night raiders will lurk on the roof of the house, peeling through the tiles to spy on the inside of the house. However, the roof of the Belden Inn has long been full of large and small holes, and if you want to see anything, it is suitable and respectful. On the other hand, if someone passes by outside the house, even the slightest disturbance will be immediately noticed.

"Today's inn is closed, we will not accept it, please come back another day." Gao Zhiqi held the bowl in his left hand, and pulled out the copper water scoop on his waist with his right hand.

The ground shook under his feet, Gao Zhi abandoned his deep eyebrows, and the man did not leave, but fell to the other end directly opposite him!

When night fell, the father had gone back to his room to sleep, and at this time the inn was pitch black, and he couldn't see his fingers. Gao Zhiqi stood in the room, Shang Qianshui leaned against him, and an oil lamp on the wall reflected their staggered shadows......

The wind stopped, there was silence, and everything was as calm as nothing.

Shang Qianshui hugged Yong Ningzhu tightly, "Stop abandoning, is it the person who came to you to fight?" ”

"Shhh......h Shang Qianshui pursed his lips and stopped speaking.

The foundation of the inn is supported by a single pile, which will cause shaking if it moves, so you can sense the position of both sides no matter where you are.

The figure of unknown origin is hidden in the dark, silent and colorless, and does not hear movement. The person who practices martial arts has sharp facial features, and the foundation of Gao Zhiren's abandonment is not bad, but he can't sense the breath of the other party, which shows that this person's figure is extremely subtle and secretive, and most of those who have this ability are killers or assassins.

There was a bad omen rising, and Gao Zhiqi said to Shang Qianshui in a deep voice, "Follow tight, don't leave me." ”

Shang Qianshui nodded vigorously and leaned closer to him obediently. But seeing Gao Zhiqi avoided it slightly, just because of the cold ball.

The air was quiet, and Gao Zhiqi glanced at the bowl in his left hand, the soup in the bowl was slowly tilting to one side, and the corners of his mouth were curved, knowing that the other party was trying to get closer to this side.

The copper water scoop turned and breathed the wind, rolled up the flame of the oil lamp, and led it to a candle and threw it to the roof, and the firelight passed through the large and small holes, shattered down, and reflected several bewildering shadows in the room!

Shang Qianshui looked at all this in amazement and held his breath. The dim light of the fire shone on Gao Zhiqi's face, revealing a smile......

The enemy is in the light, the enemy is in the dark, the enemy is real, and the self is false.

Glancing at the tilt of the soup in the bowl, as expected, a flash point burst out of the darkness in an instant, directly taking the two of them!

It's a hidden weapon.

Gao Zhiqi stood in front of Shang Qianshui, and the hidden weapon passed through their bodies, disappearing in the blink of an eye!? It turned out to be just a phantom.

Shadow Shifting Sword Pose.

More hidden weapons were thrown one after another, each one a target. The other party has the intention to test the truth and reality, Gao Zhiqi is not in a hurry, and takes Shang Qianshui to hide in the layers of light and shadow, standing still.

Although he can't see the figure in the dark clearly, no matter how light and delicate his movements are, he can hide the perception of his facial features, and he can't hide the hint of 'water surface'! The soup in the bowl sways from side to side, and when the center of gravity is tilted to the left, it proves that the opponent is focusing on the right foot, and the angle thrown by the hidden weapon is left, and vice versa.

In this way, Gao Zhiqi judged the path of the hidden weapon by relying on the direction of the tilting of the soup in the bowl, and moved to dodge. This method is absurd, but the effect is not much worse. After a wave of attacks, the whole case was false, and the other party stopped when he saw this, and tried to approach the two people at the light source again silently......

Gao Zhi gave up squinting and solemnizing, and the copper water scoop in his hand was tightened, just waiting for the other party to show his true face! Unexpectedly, the floor suddenly shook, and the soup in the bowl shook and was unrecognizable. Gao Zhi gave up and was slightly surprised, the other party seized the opportunity and threw a wave of hidden weapons!

The thought was not good, Gao Zhiqi hurriedly forced Shang Qianshui to the corner and covered him with his body.

"Stop!" Several hidden weapons hit Gao Zhiqi's back, Shang Qianshui's face turned white, and his heart pulse was almost disordered......

"Shh Gao Zhiqi motioned for him not to make a sound, "I'm fine." ”

This sentence of 'it's okay' is not that he is recklessly comforting Shang Qianshui, but that he is really fine! The opponent's move was suspected of being an assassin killer, and Gao Zhiqi thought that the smashed one must be a poisonous needle or something, but unexpectedly, it was a bunch of indiscriminate hard objects......

What the hell is it, the light is too dim to see clearly, but the places where I feel that I have been hit are all great points of luck, and every place is accurate!

This person is a master of acupoints, and he wants to seal his body!

Fortunately, in order to avoid the invasion of the body, Gao Zhiqi sealed a few meridians in advance, so that he would not completely fall into passivity. Relieved of his strength, Gao Zhi gave up concentrating and holding his breath, and began to try to use his exercises to explain the meridians.

But the other party obviously didn't give him this kind of opportunity, and soon, a wave of hidden weapons attacked again!

I saw Shang Qianshui suddenly take a step forward and stand up in front. Seeing this, Gao Zhiqi forcibly interrupted his luck halfway through, and pushed him back to the corner with force!

"Abandon ......"

"Don't mess around!" Gao Zhi gave up his voice, "What if the enemy is false first and then real, and the real poisonous needle comes over!" ”

Glared at by the eyes that reflected the firelight, Shang Qianshui pursed his lips and didn't dare to refute, so he had to obediently retract back behind Gao Zhi and abandon him......

After several temptations, the man seemed to have known Gao Zhiren's technique, so every time he threw the hidden weapon, he deliberately jumped to make the ground shake. The soup in the bowl was shaking, Gao Zhiqi could no longer use this to judge the path of the hidden weapon, in the darkness, several unknown hard objects burst out again, and several meridians on his body had been blocked!

"...... hateful" secretly gritted his teeth, picked up the copper water scoop, and was about to put aside the noodle bowl and fight with the other party.

Shang Qianshui didn't speak behind him, but only reached out and touched the wall of the bowl lightly, which made Gao Zhiqi stunned......

A bowl of soup that was shaking with water turned into clear water in an instant under the tap of Shang Qianshui's finger! Not only that, but on the shaking ground, the water surface in the bowl can still be as calm as a mirror, without a trace of waves!

This is!?

Gao Zhiqi turned his head to look at Shang Qianshui, his eyes full of surprise. Shang Qianshui didn't think too much, so he only asked in a low voice, "Is this okay?" ”

"Thousand Water ......"

At this time, the figure in the darkness approached, and a trace of floral fragrance sniffed into the nose, fragrant and delicate...... The feeling of déjà vu made Gao Zhiqi shiver! Shang Qianshui thought that he was too close again, and his own cold made him uncomfortable, so he took a few steps back, but was immediately grabbed back, "Don't go away!" ”

Shang Qianshui nodded in a daze......

In the fragrance of flowers, a flash of light flashed, and another unknown hidden weapon flew in, but this time the target was not the two, but the candle shining on the roof.

If there is no light, there is no shadow, and if there is no shadow, there is reality. The key to the shadow body of the Nine Swords is the light, and the other party's shot is to find the flaw!

Gao Zhi abandoned his squinting eyes, waved a strong wind, and before the candle was shattered, he cut out the flame core and caught it with a copper scoop stained with lamp oil. The scattered light sources reunited into one point, the phantom disappeared, and in the dim room, there were only two shadows, one was Gao Zhiqi, and the other was Shang Qianshui.

The target is clear and accurate, and a dark weapon is released decisively!

In an instant, the two shadows suddenly coincided, and then a sudden sound echoed in the dark inn......

What was hit was not Gao Zhiqi, nor Shang Qianshui, it was a blue-gray robe that was slowly falling.

The man hiding in the darkness was still stunned, and suddenly felt a sharp blade on his thigh, and he couldn't help but let out a painful groan, "Hmm......"

The voice that is immersed in the throat, oozing with the air of masculinity, is a man!

"The shadow without a shadow, the form is the shadow, the sword without the sword, the hand is the sword." The water scoop was on his waist, Gao Zhiqi held the noodle bowl with no water in his left hand, and turned a pair of chopsticks leisurely in his right hand, smiling at the man in the dark, "One thing can reflect ten thousand shadows, one shadow can reflect all things, there are ten thousand shadows and not all things, and there are all things not ten thousand shadows." What is reality and what is shadow? What is true and what is false? Seeing is not believing, and the truth is not one. ”

A cool breeze blew in the silent night, and the Baitong Inn squeaked and shook a few times, and there was no sound......

"He's gone?" Shang Qianshui leaned behind Gao Zhi and looked at the empty darkness.

"Well, he ate me with a sword." Through the faint light, Gao Zhiqi glanced at the faint blood stain on the end of the chopsticks, and thought to himself......

"Abandon?" Shang Qianshui called softly.

"Huh?" Turning his head, he met a pair of sparkling water spirit eyes, and Gao Zhiqi sweated on the back of his head, "What's wrong with you, Qianshui?" ”

"Stop abandoning, you were so powerful just now, how did you do it? Also, what do you mean by that shadow and reality? After relieving the tense atmosphere, Shang Qianshui finally couldn't hold back and asked curiously.

"Isn't it amazing?"

"Well, it's as powerful as a martial arts hero!"

Gao Zhiqi couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, he couldn't help but reach out and brush the hanging hair on both sides of his cheek, and sighed, "There is no shadow and no sword, there are thousands of illusions, this Shadow Shifting Nine Swords is indeed a very powerful swordsmanship...... Gradually, his words seeped into a trace of helplessness and bitterness, "It's a pity that I only have one percent left now, and I can't use it to the extreme......"

Like many people, he has a past that he doesn't want to talk about, and he doesn't want to reveal the scars. No matter how others sneered at this as a laughing stock, he ignored it and held his head high. But at this moment, in front of Shang Qianshui, he calmly revealed a sense of loneliness......

Shang Qianshui shook his head and smiled at him, "I can't understand the swordsmanship either, I just think it's very powerful to stop you!" ”

"Thousand Water ......"

"I mean...... It's not that shadow sword, it's to stop you, you're very powerful! ”

The naïve and innocent Young Master Shang can't speak, but what he says must be his sincere words.

"Thank you." This voice was so light that even Gao Zhi didn't listen to himself.

Shang Qianshui naturally didn't hear it, he smiled, "Strange to say, I suddenly remembered that I seem to have seen this kind of swordsmanship before, and it is the same as the one you use...... No, it doesn't seem to be the same, but it seems to be the same......"

The more he said this, the more confused he became, and Shang Qianshui felt as if he was talking nonsense, so he stopped talking.

"Have you ever seen someone who uses this kind of swordsmanship?!" Gao Zhiqi was secretly surprised.

Prior to this, Shang Qianshui had been living in Shangshui Palace, and he only had the opportunity to go to the Rose Tower by chance, how could he know about the Nine Swords of Shadow Shifting?! But he would never lie to himself......

"I, I'm ......" Shang Qianshui suddenly became nervous, he just intuitively knew that he had seen it, and he said it based on his impression, but he didn't expect Gao Zhiqi to suddenly take it seriously.

"Just ask, don't think about it." Gao Zhiqi didn't want to force him, slowed down his tone, and held the bowl in his hand, "Qianshui is also powerful." ”

"Me?!" Shang Qianshui pointed to himself.

The water in the bowl was still clear, and Gao Zhiqi looked at it and sighed lightly, "It's amazing, there is such an incredible power in the world." ”

Shang Qianshui's shoulders trembled, and he lowered his head and hugged the Yongning bead, "Yes......"

"Is it the water stopping method?"

When he said this, Shang Qianshui's forehead was already overflowing with fine sweat, as if he was restraining himself, and he was very uncomfortable.

"Thousand waters?" Sensing that something was wrong, Gao Zhiqi approached him.

"I'm ......" Shang Qianshui took a few steps back, turned his face away, and didn't dare to look at Gao Zhiqi again, "I, I...... In fact, it's only one percent, and it's ......"

Suddenly! A string of light flashed in the darkness, and in the blink of an eye, it was inserted into Shang Qianshui's belly!

"Ahh

The sudden change is unexpected! The fire was dim, and I saw a bright red color emerging from Shang Qianshui's belly......

The heart seemed to be withdrawn from his chest, Gao Zhiqi threw away the noodle bowl, hugged Shang Qianshui with both hands and shouted, "Qianshui! ”
