Chapter 49: Inexplicable Killing Intent
Outside the city, the sky is dim, there is no difference between day and night, but inside the city is artificially divided between day and night by the control of the formation, and there is a more drum sound in the distance, and the time has just arrived at this moment.
Lu Xiaonan and Yao Chuanting hid in the shadows under the courtyard wall, after they observed the surroundings for a long time, Yao Chuanting drew a brief topographical map on the ground, in addition to the guards on the surface, there were eleven places marking the places where the guards hid the ambush, he turned his head and asked Lu Xiaonan in a low voice, "Brother Xian, do you have anything to add?" ”
After Lu Xiaonan compared the topographic map drawn by Yao Chuanting with reality, he added six hidden points of the guards to the map, and after making sure that there were no omissions, he nodded.
Yao Chuanting was slightly stunned, looked at Lu Xiaonan deeply and gave him a thumbs up, time was pressing, he chose to believe Lu Xiaonan's observation and judgment, and then twisted his eyebrows with Lu Xiaonan to study the escape route. The choice of these seventeen guards' hidden locations is really exquisite, implying the way of the formation, and the strict monitoring of this independent courtyard does not leave any flaws, if you want to find a way to abscond without alarming the guards, it is really difficult, not to mention that there are many masters who are much stronger than them among these guards, unless the cultivation of the two reaches the level of the King of Linjiang can they go out silently.
This first level stumped the two of them, out of this small courtyard, and the protection of the large courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
At the end of the study, Yao Chuanting sighed, "This King of Linjiang is really a master, and he has done too much, and he doesn't leave us a chance at all, is it possible that the treasure of Moon Lake has nothing to do with our brothers?" It's a pity that the foolish brother only has an invisibility talisman, and it can only last for ten breaths, even if one of us can get out of the small courtyard, we can't get out of the city lord's mansion. ”
Invisibility charms? Lu Xiaonan suddenly remembered the talismans given to him by the old monks in his purse, among which there seemed to be invisibility talismans, but he had never used them, and he didn't know what the effect was, so he hurriedly found one and handed it to Yao Chuanting, "Big brother, is this kind of talisman okay?" ”
Yao Chuanting's eyes immediately straightened, "Where did the virtuous brother get these talismans?" It is still so well preserved, if it is good for the brother's view, this should be the talisman seal drawn by the master of the god with his own spirit gathering qi, even after thousands of years of spirituality, it will not dissipate, a talisman is enough to be invisible for an hour, this method of drawing the talisman seal has been lost for tens of thousands of years, and the virtuous brother has such treasures, which is hundreds of times better than the talisman that he treasured for his brother, no, it is thousands of times thousands of times. ”
Lu Xiaonan was a little confused, he really didn't treat these talismans as any good things, and when the old monks gave them to him, they only said that they were good helpers for stealing incense and stealing jade, and he also secretly scolded them for not being ashamed.
Yao Chuanting was overjoyed and then became stunned, "It's a pity that there is only one." ”
"I've got some more." Lu Xiaonan hurriedly took out more than a dozen sheets and handed them to Yao Chuanting, there were still more than a hundred in his purse.
Yes! Yao Chuanting was speechless in addition to being shocked, and wiped the drawing on the ground with one kick, "With this treasure talisman, what kind of energy do you waste studying the route, just swagger away." ”
Lu Xiaonan shrugged, it was the first time to do this kind of thing of absconding under someone's nose, and he had no experience.
Yao Chuanting agreed with him that after the pavilion where the three brothers had formed a union before, he activated a talisman, and after a layer of microwave ripples, it disappeared. The reason why they agreed on the meeting place was because after the invisibility charm was activated, they could not see each other, and they could only reappear if the charm was put away.
When Lu Xiaonan crossed the streets and alleys to reach the pavilion, he found that Yao Chuanting had already changed his face and made up into a bearded man, and threw a human skin mask and a gray robe to him, "Hurry up and change into it, let's rent a painting boat to go over the past." ”
There is a curfew in Linjiang City, but the Moon Lake is an exception, there are countless painting boats in the lake that cruise day and night, the silk and bamboo are misty, the cups are staggered, a scene of drunken paper and gold singing and dancing, here is the gold cave of countless dignitaries and nobles, local tyrants and rich people, and it is the gray area of Linjiang City to attract merchants, it is said that the largest black market in dozens of nearby cities is in this lake, where you can buy everything you want.
Lu Xiaonan has no experience in these things, so he relies on Yao Chuanting to call the shots, and calmly starts to be a little follower.
The painting boat they rented is a small boat, although it is small, but it is also ten meters long, the cabin space is enough to accommodate twenty or thirty people for entertainment and playing, its carved beams and paintings, pearl incense, silk and bamboo sounds, more than ten kabuki geisha shuttle back and forth, Tingting Nana, the painting boat should have a lot of things to drink flower wine, and enjoy it to the fullest.
Lu Xiaonan was half-lying on the rocking chair, his tense nerves for days were finally a little relaxed, he raised his hand to retreat from the female tricks who surrounded him, took a sip of wine with ice, and looked at Yao Chuanting, who was rubbing his shoulders and beating his legs in a group of warblers and swallows, and couldn't help but shake his head, he couldn't enjoy this kind of petty bourgeois life. The reason why he is willing to hunt for treasures with Yao Chuanting this time is entirely for the sake of their righteous brothers, for the sake of Yao Chuanting's extreme desire for the treasure that is about to be born, and because he also wants to take this opportunity to leave Linjiang City and see if he can find a way to the capital.
But at this time, Yao Chuanting seems to be a playboy, and he is not much more reckless than the second young master of the road patrol on the other side of the earth, where is there a little nervous appearance of treasure hunting, this is probably his strategy, he has already made a bamboo in his chest?
Yao Chuanting saw that Lu Xiaonan was not a good woman, he pinched a beautiful woman's buttocks, which caused a burst of exclamations, so he smiled and stretched out his head from between the many jade arms and beautiful legs to Lu Xiaonan, "Brother Xian, in addition to the pursuit of the slim Heavenly Dao cultivation and immortality, there are many very meaningful things waiting for us to do, such as the wine and beauty at this moment, we must learn to enjoy it, in case one day we are abandoned like ants under the Heavenly Dao, and since then we have disappeared and returned to the world, But I haven't enjoyed the many wonders of this world, how wronged, life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon......"
Lu Xiaonan smiled helplessly, "Big brother, don't instill your theory in me, I really can't learn it." ”
Yao Chuanting laughed, "Brother Xian, this is not a matter of whether you can learn or not, but whether you can open up or not." ”
In the sound of silk and bamboo singing and dancing, the painting boat slowly sailed on the surface of the lake, and unconsciously approached the island in the middle of the lake.
Lu Xiaonan stood at the bow of the boat, breathing in the smell of fat powder that seemed to be everywhere in the lake, always felt a little unreal, his eyes looked at the white tower, and at this moment he looked at it closely, only to realize that this tower was not as low as the trees in the shore to see, but towering into the clouds, just by looking at it there were twenty or thirty floors, this tower also has a strange place, like a whole boulder carving, there is no sense of dissonance, and the most important thing is that there is no door or window on it.
At this moment, a painting boat nearly twice as tall as their painting boat rushed forward, and the boatmen hurriedly turned the rudder after discovering it, but the speed of the big ship was too fast, and the sailors only changed the direction slightly, the big ship was already approaching, and after all, it still could not change the ending of being hit by the ship and destroying people.
Seeing that the two boats were about to collide, Lu Xiaonan's eyes showed a terrifying light, his palms slapped out, and hit the side of the bow of the big boat, forcibly separating the two boats.
There were bursts of heart-rending screams behind Lu Xiaonan, and the boat was fluttering and swaying on the surface of the lake, almost falling into the lake and causing a huge accident. And on the big boat, through the screen window, Lu Xiaonan saw a pale and cold brocade-clothed boy looking at him coldly, and behind the brocade-clothed boy, a graceful woman said softly, "Why should Bai Gongzi fight with a group of low-level little guys? They are just ants in the eyes of the son, not to mention that there are many sisters who beg for a life like concubines on the painting boat, but fortunately, nothing happened......"
"Slut!" Huo Ran, the boy in brocade, was a slap in the face.
The two boats gradually moved away, but Lu Xiaonan could still vaguely feel the undisguised killing intent of the brocade-clothed boy.
Lu Xiaonan frowned, he really couldn't think of any enemies in this underworld Linjiang City, looking at the other party like that, it seemed that there was a hatred between the two of them for taking his wife and killing his father, not to mention that he was wearing a human skin mask at this time, he had already changed his face, and even his clothes had been changed into ordinary gray robes, and he came to this Moon Lake on a temporary basis, even if there was an enemy, he shouldn't recognize it, it was really inexplicable.
