Chapter 13 The Heavenly Key
Chen An sat silently alone, the oil lamp on the side flickered in a trance, and his face was also bright and uncertain.
This time, he specially chose a mission in southern Xinjiang to track down the former imperial doctor Mu Shaoping. Mu Shaoping is his father's best friend, and he has a family friendship. And when his family was ruined, the other party fled the capital in a hurry, if these two things had nothing to do with each other, he wouldn't believe it if he killed Chen An. Mu Shaoping must know the truth about the destruction of his Chen family, if he finds Mu Shaoping first to understand the real reason for the destruction of his family, it will undoubtedly be much faster to track down the murderer.
But over the years, Mu Shaoping has been hiding in Tibet, his whereabouts are unpredictable, and trying to find it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Chen An has only emerged in the dark division in recent years, and has some of his own news channels.
The dark division claims to monitor the world, so naturally it is not in vain, and it didn't take much effort to get Mu Shaoping's whereabouts.
Chen An took advantage of official business to take over a few tasks in southern Xinjiang and hurried over, but who knew that he was in vain.
But fortunately, it was not without gain, and it made his people discover another force with the same purpose.
The spies' words "fellow travelers" just now made him think a lot.
At first, he thought he was a person in the dark division, after all, the only one who could compete with the people in the dark division was the dark division. This is the housekeeping skill of the dark division, even the first-class sect in the rivers and lakes cannot compete with the dark division.
But now that he was considered a high-level member of the Dark Division, he would not be unheard of if someone issued such a mission. So in just a moment, he realized that there was one force that he had been ignoring all along, and that was the Blood Division. The one who can compete with the Dark Division to track down the art of concealment is also the Blood Division. If the dignified Blood Division killer can't even find the person he wants to kill, wouldn't it be a big joke in the world.
The reason why Chen An ignored it was that the Blood Division had disappeared from the public eye for more than ten years.
This dates back to more than a decade ago when the new emperor ascended the throne. The first emperor died suddenly, and the kings competed for succession, and a key department like the Holy Court was naturally the first choice to be infiltrated by it. And the Blood Division, the personal guard of the emperors of the past dynasties, has been infiltrated even more.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he naturally didn't dare to use the blood division anymore, three thousand blood divisions, who knows how many people are truly loyal to him, maybe one of them will be taken off their heads if they are not careful.
As a result, the Blood Division was sent to the cold palace. The position of the Bloodline was also taken by the Dark Division Killer. There are nearly 200,000 people in the Seventeenth Guard of the Dark Division, plus the informants who rely on the Dark Division, the number is close to the one million mark. Even if you throw a few people in, it's like a drop in the ocean, and you can't even make a splash. In this way, the fool knows which side to rely on.
The events of those years were very big, but the impact was very small, and it was definitely not something that a simple small force could do. The decline of the blood division is a matter of recent years, but this is not the case with the blood division ten years ago, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the first force of the Great Zhou at that time. Chen An had a faint intuition that the Blood Division definitely played an important role in the events of that year, and it was even possible that he was the murderer.
......
In the capital, in a palatial mansion, a middle-aged man in a moon-white robe pushed open the door of the west wing, and walked slowly into the courtyard.
In the courtyard, there were already people waiting there, it was a slightly thin man in a brocade robe, about forty years old, with a wide forehead and a narrow jaw, and a slight hook on the tip of the nose, which gave people a sense of yin owl as a whole. When he heard the sound, he turned his head to look at the man in white, with a hint of anxiety on his face: "Big brother, how is Yi'er?"
The man in white glanced up at him, his face was complicated, and he shook his head for a long time: "I can only barely save my life, he injured his meridians and wants to recover his martial arts...... A long shot. ”
When the brocade-clothed man suddenly heard the bad news, he was stunned for a while, and muttered in disbelief: "How come, it's just a too yin claw, why is it so domineering." ”
The man in white groaned slightly, and said, "Brother Wei has carefully investigated, maybe it is not the real Taiyin Claw." ”
The brocade man was stunned: "What?"
"Judging from Xiao Yi's injury, on the surface, he was injured under the Taiyin claw, but looking at the deterioration of the injury, it was more like a cold ghost claw. ”
"Chilling Ghost Claw," the brocade-clothed man repeated, and then exclaimed, "You mean the Dark Division?"
"Not bad. The man in white affirmed: "It should be the cold ghost claw, there is no doubt that the blood division obtained the Ice Charm Xuangong back then, but it was stored in the secret vault of the Martial Mansion of the Holy Court. The Holy Court can be consulted by everyone, and the lord of the previous generation of Dark Division is amazingly talented, and based on this, he has created the Cold Flame Ice Charm Skill, especially the Cold Ghost Claw and the Burning Sun Heart Palm are the most exquisite. The Taiyin claw is the same as the general claw method, both of which are claw methods that change from grabbing and rope entanglement, and the cold ghost claw has found another way to integrate the sword technique into it, and there is a saying of splitting and stabbing on the basis of grabbing and entanglement. Just now, I saw that Xiao Yi's injuries were several inches deep, and the wound was like a sharp blade cutting, which was very similar to the characteristics of the claws of the cold ghost. However, it doesn't have to be the Dark Division, there are many people in the entire Holy Court who are cultivating the Cold Flame Ice Charm Skill......"
When the man in brocade heard this, he saw that the man in white was silent, with a complicated expression on his face, and couldn't help but wonder: "Big brother, if you have anything to say, just say it, and there is nothing you can't talk about with your brother." ”
The man in white hesitated: "Brother Wei has also studied the Chilling Ghost Claw, although he only looked at the move part and did not study it in depth, but he still has a certain understanding of it. Looking at Xiao Yi's wounds, from bottom to top, from left to right, that person should have used the trick of 'Sighing Moon'. This move is generally used to block the attack behind it, and it can only be used for three points. You...... See what I mean?"
The man in brocade gasped, he knew that the man in white had a wide range of martial arts, and what he said should be eight or nine or ten. But this is too unbelievable, the other party only made one move, and it was only three points of strength, and he hit his beloved son hard, and the level of martial arts was simply appalling.
His voice trembled slightly: "Big brother, what if you meet him?"
The man in white thought for a moment and replied, "I haven't fought, it's hard to say." ”
Jinyi's heart sank: "When did such a master come out of the capital, we don't even know anything." ”
The man in white also thought about it: "I'm also curious, the Liuli Palace has been destroyed for more than sixty years, and I haven't heard of any heirs still alive, that is to say, the only person who can cultivate the Cold Flame Ice Charm Skill is our Holy Court, this kind of martial arts is easy to learn and difficult to master, there are many people who cultivate it inside the Holy Court, but those who have cultivated to this realm are unheard of." This kind of martial arts is not an unknown person, I think about it, there should be no such a talent among the masters of the three divisions......"
The speaker had no intention of listening, and the man in brocade listened to his words, and his heart chuckled, and a trace of gloom crept up his face.
The man in white inadvertently saw his expression, frowned slightly, and asked, "I haven't asked you how Xiao Yi was injured?"
When the brocade-clothed man heard the question, he forgot what he was thinking about for a while, and his eyes flickered.
When the man in white saw his appearance, his face sank: "It's been so many years, and you haven't given up yet?" This kind of ancient legend is already ethereal and illusory, and it can't be verified, just laugh it off as an anecdote, how can you be such a shrewd person, how can you not see through it." ”
The brocade man gritted his teeth and said: "The ancient legends are not credible, but the living notes of the previous dynasty should always be true, you have also seen it, and the words on it are conclusive, it is indeed ......."
"Shut up. The man in white interrupted him and said bitterly, "Why are you so obsessed?"
"Big brother, what kind of life have the brothers lived over the years, you don't know, we should always find a way back for ourselves. The brocade man was also excited.
The man in white stared at the firm eyes of the man in brocade, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh and finally brushed his sleeves away.
The man in brocade looked at the back of the man in white leaving, and his face was cloudy.
At this time, a man in black walked out of the shadows from a corner, came to the man in brocade, and stood side by side with him: "Big brother still reacts so much." ”
"He'll understand one day that we're right. The brocade man answered coldly.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
"Xiao Yi is really hopeless, isn't it just the claw of the cold ghost? isn't it?" After a while, the man in black diverted the topic.
The corners of the brocade-clothed man's eyes twitched, showing that he was extremely angry, and he gritted his teeth and said: "That's not an ordinary cold ghost claw, the claw method is fused with the sword technique, and the yin yuan contains the flame energy, and the end is extremely powerful, very good." ”
The man in black narrowed his eyes: "I haven't heard of any masters, could it be that Xu Qian cultivated it specifically to deal with us and others." Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that the other party was also in the Lin Mansion. ”
"I doubt it too, but so what, no one can stop us. The Jinyi man was full of resentment: "Even if Xu Qian himself abolishes my only son, I still want him to pay for his blood debts." After saying that, he paused for a word, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt into flames.
The man in black waited for him to finish venting and his emotions settled down for a while, before he continued: "Lin Zhihuan has been demoted to Fuzhou, what should we do, Fuzhou is not as good as the capital, we don't have many people." ”
The man in brocade clenched his hands into fists and spit out two words: "Chase, kill." ”
"Don't check it out?"
"My son is all gone, and I still check the fart, since Xiao Yi was injured in his house, he should pay the price for it. ”
"I'm afraid that this will startle the snake. The man in black frowned.
The brocade-clothed man said nonchalantly: "So what, even if we know about it unintentionally, they don't know what we're going to do even if they want to break their heads, and they're not led by our noses." ”
"Well, I'll arrange it first. The man in black nodded and turned to leave.
"Keep your hands and feet clean, don't make any mistakes. The brocade man casually instructed.
The man in black answered from a distance and disappeared.
The brocade-clothed man stood alone in the courtyard, looking at the busy figures of the servants in the room, with only a gloomy look on his face.
He reached into his arms and found a triangular thing, smooth and warm, white as clotted fat, and it was actually a piece of fine mutton fat white jade. Its sides were rough, like fragments of jade. He rubbed it carefully, the cold light in his eyes flickered, and the murderous intent loomed. muttered to himself: "Heavenly Key...... The Secret Vault of the Heavenly Machine......" voice was low and almost inaudible.
