Chapter Ninety-Two: Fiction and Reality
It turned out that Chen Yi told Bai Jue that although he was confident that he would be able to get something, he didn't want to become the target of everyone's siege too early, so they also found a place to delay for a long time, and it wasn't until after midnight that they touched the mountain.
When they walked to the first platform, they were ambushed by Ling Yunyan and them coldly, and both of them were not vegetarians, and they missed a blow, forming a stalemate. In order to gain time, Chen Yi suggested that he should stay and deal with the two of them, and let Bai Jue go up first, but the other party was obviously not a fool, and Zeng Xianyi also took the opportunity to break away from the battle group and chased Bai Jue to the mountain.
"Oh? So you've been racing for a long time, but I heard him breathing smoothly at that time, and it didn't look like he had just exercised? I said strangely.
"So you've been spying on us there for a long time!" Bai Jue said with a smile.
"What a sneaky surveillance, is it good to scout openly!" I shouted.
"Okay, okay, count it as if you can bear it!" Bai Jue's tone was like coaxing a child, and he perfunctorily continued after a while, "His foot strength is indeed very fast, as if he was deliberately trying to show off, he didn't attack me, just followed me closely." When I got to the top of the mountain, I specially told me something about what kind of boy he was, how many generations of people he had......"
I feel so sweaty when I hear it, and sure enough, the way of this world is that if you don't pretend to be forced, you won't die!
"In fact, in addition to being fast, his footwork is indeed a Taoist method in it, and the route he walks is a formation, which is changed from the gossip, which seems to be disorderly but is actually endless, and he can avoid the opponent's attack without looking at the other party. When he fought Chen Yi that night, it was actually revealed, and I can understand the general idea. Bai Jue said again.
"He can even avoid Chen Yi's wind and thunder array perfectly, you can still fight with him for so long a day, you are also very powerful!" I exclaimed.
"Where, I'm just using words to fight and try to drag him down, if you want to really let him be defeated, I will definitely not be able to rely on my martial arts." Bai Jue is also modest.
"I see, then what happened when he said you lied to him?" I'm really happy to have someone to talk to, and naturally there are a lot of topics.
"That, hahaha......" Bai Jue suddenly laughed loudly, as if he had touched the injury again, and then immediately snorted a few more times, grinning and said, "Zeng Xianyi is arrogant and thoughtful, and it is most suitable to deal with this kind of person, so that he is suspicious of dark ghosts and messing with himself." So as soon as I came up, I first played the mystery, made him angry, made mistakes in a hurry, and then played a little trick, and actually caught him. ”
"What little trick?" I asked curiously.
I saw Bai Jue reach over and caress it on my shoulder, barely feeling anything, and then said, "Okay, now I'm going to point your acupoint in the air!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, I felt a rush of air on my shoulder, as if it had hit the acupuncture points under my clothes. But what is the matter with seeing that his hand is still far away from me, and that I cannot reach it?
Just as I was surprised, Bai Jue had already stretched out his hand in front of my eyes and said, "Look! ”
I looked into his hand, but I didn't see anything, and I touched it a little with my hand, and I felt a thin thread in his palm.
"It's ......" I didn't understand for a moment.
Bai Jue smiled and said: "This silver wire is actually what I usually use when I practice qi, with a needle on the front head, I put it on Zeng Xianyi's clothes, and then transported the qi over, he thought that I had clicked on his acupoint, but in fact, the level I have practiced at the moment is only to make the other party feel qi, and the acupoint is still not possible." ”
I pulled the thread with my hand and found that it looked weak, but it was actually very tough! It was so dark, and it was not easy to see such a thin silver thread, when the two were fighting just now, Bai Jue quietly put a few threads on Zeng Xianyi's clothes, so when this little Taoist priest ran forward, he would be pulled by the one on his back. Later, Bai Jue pretended to make a fuss on the line of his chest, which made him feel angry, and naturally it was easy to believe in something like hitting holes in the air.
With Zeng Xianyi's character, after hesitation, he must spend some effort and luck to verify whether there is a problem with the acupoint, which also achieves Bai Jue's goal - delaying time. It's just that he didn't expect him to find out about this fraud so quickly.
"What about the White Tiger's Den or something? Why haven't I heard of it? "One last question.
"That's what I said," Bai Jue said with a smile, "There is indeed a dead hole behind the acupoint, called the tiger's mouth, not the tiger's mouth on the hand!" Clicking on the heavy hand can indeed make people paralyzed and lose their strength, but it is difficult to point it in the air. ”
There is truth in the virtual, there is fiction in the real, seven points of big flickering plus three points of strength, you can also be invincible!
I immediately admired and said, "Actually, you are indeed very fast, but you are not fast on your feet, but fast on your hands, and fast in your mouth, so he fell for you." ”
"yes, hahaha......" he laughed again, then hummed again.
"Is it appropriate for you to give me this penetration? You believe me that much? I asked him suddenly.
But he said nonchalantly, "What's the matter, if you do anything suspicious, I'll kick you into this mountain stream at once!" ”
I stretched my neck and said, "Okay, you're ruthless!" Who made me so cheap to save you!
But it really depends on fate between people, it may be the reason why this guy is a bit like Wang Shaoting, I have a good impression of him since I have been chatting now, and now that I am chatting, I find that each other's love for the two and the skill of the big flicker are equal, and they are all people in the medical Tao, and they are even more sympathetic to each other, and they no longer have any defensive hearts.
We all felt a little surprised that we didn't see Ling Yunyan again when we walked to the platform below, but even if she hid in the shadows and wanted to ambush us, seeing that we were three people together, it was estimated that she would not make a move easily.
I saw the extinguished torch on the tree, and asked Bai Jue as if I suddenly remembered something, "Listen to what you mean, when you came, Ling Yunyan and Zeng Xianyi had already come?" How did they find this place? ”
Bai Jue shook his head and said, "I don't know, but now that I think about it, it is estimated that although they arrived here first, they were afraid of being besieged by other groups in the process of returning with their things, so they came up with a way to poison and ambush, and wanted to simply kill everyone else on the mountain to prevent future troubles." ”
I stood beside the tree and looked into the distance, with a great view and a faint glimpse of the sparse lights in the city.
As if suddenly realized, I suddenly turned around and asked Granny Hua, "Did you know that things were here because you saw the fire on this mountain?" ”
"Hmm." Granny Hua replied.
Now I understand, and the officials also know that if we are looking for such a small thing in such a big city, we will scatter everywhere and find nothing in the end. So there needs to be a way to concentrate everyone naturally, and this is Chen Yi's turn to appear, as the organizer's inner line, he is responsible for using the fire to attract people from other groups, and there will definitely be a scuffle in the process of gathering.
And if someone can't even see such an obvious hint, then it's definitely not the right person hired to find the Blood Rock Furnace, such as me, like the Sanban Monk who has never appeared.
I couldn't figure out why Chen Yi and Zeng Xianyi fought at night, but now it is clear that Chen Yi must have deliberately provoked this battle, in order to attract everyone's attention to him and facilitate later actions.
Since Ling Yunyan guessed Chen Yi's identity, she probably could understand the role of this torch, but for her, the other party's move could just lead others into the trap she had designed, so there was no need to stop it. Unexpectedly, in the end, the trap hurt his own people. Maybe for her, no one is her own person at all.
In short, no matter how complicated the situation was before, now that the things are in hand, the most urgent thing for us now is to find a way to bring it back to the palace safely before dawn. For the other puzzles, I don't have time to delve into them for the time being.
Looking up, it should be almost early in the morning, and in two or three hours it will be almost the allotted time. So we quickened our pace, went down the mountain, crossed the pass, and walked in the direction of Xicheng.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we did not choose the shortest route back to the palace, but took a detour further west, where there were no houses on either side of the street, and most of them were shops.
After walking for a while, I felt that the surroundings were getting darker and darker, the stars and moon had set, and the morning sun had not yet risen, just as the arrow had to be drawn away if the bow wanted to shoot far, and after the yang energy reached its lowest point at midnight, it would not rise with the trend, but would definitely lie deeper again, and there would be a moment when the dawn erupted.
In addition to the darkness, there is also silence, not to mention human voices, not even the sound of birds and beasts at all, we are like being in a dead city, only the lifeless black shadows of buildings in front of us.
When we walk down such a street, we are naturally in good spirits, always on the lookout for a crisis that may suddenly arise from somewhere. But I soon felt too depressed to take it anymore, and I couldn't help but want to fight against the deathly silence.
At this time, I saw a relatively tall building in front of me, so I asked Bai Jue in a low voice: "Where is that?" “
Bai Jue said: "White Horse Temple." “
When it comes to temples, I naturally think of Sanban monks, who have always seen more Taoist priests along the way, and they are the first ones I have seen in this era...... Three monks. Not to mention anything else, it confirms that Buddhism had been introduced to China at this time. Now there is a temple built in the capital of the Han Dynasty, and it seems that the royal family does not only recognize local sects!
"By the way," I remembered something that I hadn't figured out before, and asked Bai Jue, "You can also see that there is a mystery in the box of books we are reading, right?" It seems that a few people who participated in the competition this time came to a big doxxing, but how did the emperor predict who would participate in the competition? “
Bai Jue pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe he doesn't know who will come, but he just listed all the strange techniques he has at hand." And he didn't write it all, I don't even know which way you are. “
"I, I'm a miscellaneous family." I laughed. In fact, it means nothing.
was smirking to himself, and felt that Bai Jue next to him suddenly stopped, and then heard the flower mother-in-law behind him whisper: "It's here!" “
