Chapter 009: Tiger's Den
Shu County, scattered flower building.
After Tang Qianyin entered the Shu Palace, he went directly to the "half-day leisure" wing room of Sanhualou, lit an incense, brewed a pot of tea, and sat quietly alone for an afternoon.
Perhaps because the ancestors of the Tang family loved to drink tea, neither he nor Tang Qianxi liked to drink, and they were too resistant to wine since they were children, but they didn't drink at all.
Even if you really can't shirk it, you can only replace wine with tea.
The strong aroma of tea fills the tea room, and it is rare to enjoy your own space so quietly.
For a long time, he was like a tightened bowstring, unable to rest and rest.
The entrance is tea, but in fact, it is just like his state of mind, everything is so comfortable and calm.
Picking up the teacup and sipping it gently, the fragrance of "Moth Eyebrow Snow Buds" once again penetrated his heart and spleen, and his eyes looked out of the window intentionally or unintentionally, although he was distracted and sluggish, but serious and focused.
I don't know what to "see" or what to think.
It wasn't until the incense was exhausted and the tea was finished that Tang Qianyin withdrew his godless gaze from looking out.
He knew the time was up and it was time to act.
The best time for a blind man to strike is naturally at night, which is not only convenient for self-concealment, but also convenient for taking advantage of the situation to attack.
When the night was dark in Shu County in summer, it was relatively late, and when the shopkeeper was ordered to go upstairs on time and inform Tang Qianyin that it was time, the latter had already gone to the empty building and was nowhere to be found.
Heaven and earth are white.
On a clear night, the moon reigns over the world, and the stars near it retreat, allowing her to dominate the world with silver light.
Tang Qianyin quietly entered from the Rui Beast Gate, passed through the main hall area to the west, and arrived at the west hall area, although he was not familiar with the topography of the Shu Palace, but the spy in the scattered flower building had already told him the distribution and architectural form of the five major areas of the main hall, the east palace, the west hall, the harem, and the garden.
The west hall area is the center of the palace, with multiple palaces and strict security.
Tang Qianyin may be the youngest generation in the world who knows how to use the environment, and "environment" is his most powerful weapon.
Although he couldn't remember what the hacker who took him away looked like, and he couldn't remember who the master of his cultivation path was, the technique of "Shadow Escape" was at his fingertips, as if it had been integrated into his body, and it was purely an instinctive reaction.
Of course, he didn't know the technique of "Hidden Shadow Escape", it was completely comprehended by hackers from Gu Eagle, which was enough to be called the first stealth technique in the world.
The secret sentinels of the Shu Palace, although they are very cleverly distributed, are hidden in the high places of the buildings, and even the birds fly in the tight places, and it is difficult to hide from their eyes.
However, under Yu Ding's magical spiritual sense, he can grasp the flaws and gaps in the attention of the dark whistle, and quietly avoid them with a ghostly shortcut.
Tang Qianyin exerted the technique of "latent shadow and empty escape" to the extreme.
Hidden, hidden, without a trace, like air, saved him a lot of trouble.
A few vertical leaps, through the gap between the see-like nets, easy to pass.
Through the spiritual sense of Di Hongding, Tang Qianxi had already locked his specific location in the hundred-foot building in the harem area.
He has done everything he can do, and now everything can only depend on God's will.
The harem area is located behind the west hall area and before the garden area, and is now a number of courtyard houses.
Among them, the most peculiar building is the hundred-foot building, it is also the highest building in the whole palace, it is built for the previous generations of Shu lords to store rare treasures, there is a big pond next to it, the name is "Maha", the forest is planted all over the woods, quiet and natural, wild and interesting.
It is said that climbing to the top of the building not only overlooks the entire Shu Palace, but also the city view outside the mansion is also unobstructed.
Getting closer.
As long as you cross the Shouguang Pavilion and the Yingxian Hall in front, you can reach the hundred-foot building.
Tang Qianyin avoided two hidden sentry posts, and suddenly an indescribable strange feeling appeared in his heart, which was the valuable experience accumulated by being a spy and an assassin for a long time.
The Divine Sense finds the alarm.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind at a high speed of lightning, and he knew that there was a danger that he would never have imagined coming towards him.
The situation and atmosphere became tense.
Tang Qianyin had to stop his body, listen to all directions, hear the sound and distinguish the position, and immediately hid in the dark corner of a pool.
The sound of the water drowned out his breathing, and the shadow of the rockery obscured his body, so that his enemies could not notice.
This is not only unthinkable, but also contains the meaning of monitoring and retreating from a close distance.
Tang Qianyin remained motionless, retracting his mind, becoming as calm as ice and snow, his spiritual sense expanded, and he was fully engaged in eavesdropping.
A moment later, a swift ghost-like figure quietly entered the West Hall area, and when it disappeared into the darkness that the firelight could not shine, it seemed to enter a no-man's land as if it had no substance.
After landing, it suddenly rushed into the air again, sticking to the top of a roof eaves like a bird flying, and then a toss, straight to the Shouguang Pavilion a few feet away in front of the pool, and the whole process was completed in the blink of an eye.
Tang Qianyin asked himself if he could do that, and he tried his best to suppress the horror caused by this sudden figure, because until this moment, he still couldn't grasp the fluctuations of that person's breathing purely by his spiritual sense, and the other party was like embedded in the night, becoming one with heaven and earth, unrecognizable.
He was the closest person to this terrifying master, and even so, let alone the many guards around him, he was simply invisible, and he couldn't even notice it.
Just listening to the rhythm of this person's breathing and the footsteps of his body, Tang Qianyin knew that his skills were definitely not weak, and he was not easy to match.
His cultivation is extremely profound, far beyond his own, and it is difficult to fathom people in his true teachings.
With such skills, Tang Qianyin not only had never seen it, but also never thought about it, it was more convincing than any speech, and his face couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression, and at the same time, he also sounded the alarm in his heart, secretly wondering: "Who could such a terrifying person who is close to a myth and legend?"
At this moment, a Shen Xiong's voice came from the door of Shouguang Pavilion: "Who is not afraid of death, come to the palace to find death?"
Apparently someone was aware of the sound of the night visitors.
Listen to his voice, it's a man.
It's not the night, it's the gold group.
Tang Qianyin's soul was crystal clear, he had never seen Tu Jinqun before, but from the strength of this person's voice, the cultivation realm had already determined the identity of the caller.
The night visitor let out a long whistle and said arrogantly: "Yes, yes, you kid can still find out that Lao Tzu is coming." ”
The shock in Tang Qianyin's heart did not decrease but increased.
Although it was the first time he had heard the voice, it didn't feel completely unfamiliar, and even felt somewhat familiar.
It was a voice hidden deep in the depths of memory, a long-lost voice.
Do you say that you have seen him, or that you know him?
Tu Jinqun looked at the black spots in the night sky that were getting closer and closer, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he shouted: "Who are you, who are you, who dare to speak wildly when you break into the palace at night and take a small path for the night?"
The starry sky is magnificent at night, but the mood for admiration is not at all.
The dragon groaned.
A spiraling, highly concentrated, earth-shattering sword aura shot out from Tu Jinqun's hand like a dragon sword, and the angle, position, and time of its attack were exactly the same, just the fatal moment when the person's old strength was exhausted and the new strength was not born.
The sword qi made a strong wind-breaking sound that rubbed against the air, and it made a "snort" sound, which indeed had the power to hook the soul.
The night visitor narrowed the distance between the two sides to five feet at a speed that was still unbelievable even if he was looking at it with the naked eye, and his eyes shot a hint of approval, but his mouth let out a sneer with disdain, and said: "A hero is a young man, good swordsmanship! It's a pity that you shouldn't be able to play Lao Tzu's sword, it's really beyond your strength!"
pointed out, very calmly, chic and good-looking.
Until this moment, the appearance of this terrible enemy finally came into the eyes of Tu Jinqun.
The man had already appeared more than ten steps ahead, the black robe and shawl brown hair he was wearing were in a state of running to the peak because of his true qi, and there was no wind to automatically move violently, and the whole person hung off the ground, like a foreign body in the world that came out of nothingness, giving people an indescribable feeling, barely speaking, or for ordinary people, it was like facing a powerful ghost.
Tu Jinqun's face changed greatly, and he finally knew who his opponent was.
Hacker!
He's a hacker who hasn't been in hiding for sixteen years!
He was a tall and impressive figure, with an unusually broad forehead, and a sharp, piercing look with a certain unfathomable, deep, and intelligent power.
The high cheekbones, the straight nasal tubes, the curved upper lip and the upturned lower lip, the edges and corners are distinct, and the personality is very individual, plus the jaw is thick, the shoulders are wide and the legs are long, and there is indeed a world-class master style who looks down on the world.
At a glance, his form beyond all living beings has been deeply engraved in Tu Jinqun's heart.
The hacker's appearance seems to be no more than forty years old, which can give Tu Jinqun the strange impression that he has lived for hundreds of years.
Tu Jinqun's heart swelled with infinite awe and fear, but the sword qi had been released, and there was no return, and there was no room for turn.
I saw that the true qi that was swallowed by the hacker's fingers seemed to be slow and fast, which was impossible to grasp, but it was concentrated to concentrate, meeting the irresistible sword qi of Tu Jinqun and destroying it when it was strong.
In an instant, Tu Jinqun's face was pale, and he obviously saw the hacker stretching out his fingers, but it seemed that he couldn't feel the other party's fingers, but the aura of the pressure body was attacking with all its strength with the momentum of Mount Tai's overwhelming, and it couldn't help but get worse.
"Appearance" and "connotation" can be so incompatible, so diametrically opposite, such a miracle, Tu Jinqun is unheard of, I haven't thought about it.
In the moment before the confrontation, Tu Jinqun became empty and extremely uncomfortable, and suddenly woke up to this terrifying master, and cultivated to the essence of heaven and earth, and the ultimate realm of combining essence, qi, and god with ten thousand transformations.
Life and death hang by a thread.
The changes in the situation between the two sides, if there are bystanders, will not be able to see the subtle changes at all, everything is still the same on the surface, but Tu Jinqun and hackers, who are engaged in a life-and-death confrontation, know that there is a world of difference between the previous moment and the next moment.
"Hacker senior, please be merciful!" came the voice of the Fire Wheel Evil King from the Shouguang Pavilion.
When Tang Qianyin heard the word "hacker", his head suddenly turned blank, and his scalp was numb.
As soon as the words fell, I heard a sound of "bang!", and the energy between the sword and the finger met and exploded, overflowing, affecting a radius of several zhang, and the bonsai plants in the courtyard flew for a while.
Tu Jinqun was shocked.
I only feel that my dragon sword qi has nothing to do, if it is like a mud cow into the sea, it will quickly turn into nothing, and although the hacker is only a finger of power, it is equivalent to a frenzy of rage, and the heart is like a shadowless hammer was struck hard, and immediately the throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood was spurted out uncontrollably, not only the mind was immediately trapped in a state of chaos, but the body was also involuntarily blown backwards by the long wind like a broken kite.
He knew that if it wasn't for the master to show mercy, he was afraid that he would have died on the spot.
The hacker's cultivation and strength are already close to that of a god, and even if the Fire Wheel Evil King comes in person, he may not have a half-point chance of winning.
Tu Jinqun finally fell to the ground heavily, his head was tilted, his eyes turned black, and he fainted.
With a "squeak", the Evil King of the Fire Wheel walked out, looking at the hacker who landed from three feet away in the air for a moment, his eyes were full of shock and surprise.
The hacker landed on the ground, his face expressionless, although he was obviously a huge and majestic person, but it seemed to turn into a shadow without any substance, as if he could disappear like air at any moment, just looking at it also taught people to lose their souls.
In the face of such a terrifying senior master as a hacker, there is nothing abnormal about the fluctuation of the Fire Wheel Evil King's mind, which shows that his cultivation is extraordinary, showing his demeanor of a world-beating master.
The hacker's bottomless eyes, bursting with strange brilliance, reciprocated as if he was deeply focused on the Evil King of the Wheel of Fire, if like the brightest star in the sky, suddenly moved into his eye sockets, as if to see through the Evil King of the Wheel of Fire.
Under the aggressive gaze of the hacker, the Fire Wheel Evil King finally had a change that he shouldn't have, although it was only noticeable, but if he could maintain an eternal, powerful and strange momentum, it would be a gap after all.
In front of the hackers, the Fire Wheel Evil King was indeed guilty.
He didn't expect that the hacker, who had been dead for sixteen years, would really come back to life and find himself.
It can be said that most of everything he has now is due to hackers.
In the hacker, he encountered many strange things that have been heard through the ages.
Hacking is both a legend and a myth.
