Chapter 118: The Sound of the Sword in the Deep House (Part II)
"I can't tell you my name. Ryu Ji said.
"Why?" asked the tattered boy.
"My father said not to tell strangers his real name easily, because it would be bad if the other person was a psychic man. You can call me a dragon queen. The girl replied. "What do you want to tell me?
"Oh, okay. ”
Long Chang jumped lightly and fell from the battlement, and sat beside Long Ji silently. Through the light of the moon, he finally saw his face clearly, the face with a pale complexion, peeling skin, and dilated eyes was indeed not a living human, and Long Ji let out a short cry of surprise, but he was not afraid. If you talk about the degree of ugliness, the lovers from the other world that she summoned through the "underworld marriage" are much more terrifying, and this kind of monster with the smell of the dead makes her feel close.
"You're not afraid of me?" said the boy, turning his head and revealing his bones.
"Is this the result of 'deterioration'?" Ryuhime asked rhetorically.
Long Chang shook his head. "This is the ability I got in the pit of bones, and it's called 'Armor'. This body is actually dead, so the Dragonspine Guards can't detect the breath on my body, and they won't wake up the napping internal envoy if they sneak in. My true body is cultivating in the other world...... Oops, hurt again. There was a deep wound on his arm that could be seen in the bone, and the flesh rolled up, and no blood flowed out, and the boy was a little embarrassed to say, "My real body is injured, and it will be reflected in this body, so theoretically this connection should be weakened, right?" ”
The girl stared at him with shiny black eyes: "In other words, your true body and the summon are actually reversed, and you live in the world with the summon?"
"So to speak. But the other world is also real, and it can be said that I have worked very hard to live in the other world. Long Chang narrowed his eyes and replied.
Long Ji nodded: "This ability...... It's actually very similar to my abilities. It's just that my strength is still too weak, and I can't bring my companions from the other world over at all, even if I use all my strength to summon them, it's just a bunch of unformed white bones. ”
The tattered boy looked at the moon, his feet dangling on the wall: "You are a child of the sect, you don't have to become strong to live this life safely, which is like us, you can't leave this big prison for the rest of your life, you can't leave this big prison for the rest of your life, you crowd in the pigeon cage every day and force your head for food, I don't know if one day the people around you will deteriorate into monsters and swallow yourself." Luckily no monsters are interested in me, they don't like to eat the dead, do they?"
"Fate has no choice. There was no hesitation or confusion in the girl's eyes, "This was told to me by Mr. Teaching, and it is useless to complain about the heavens." Tell me, what do you want to tell me?"
"Oh yes, I almost forgot. Long Chang patted his head, "Isn't there a very beautiful little girl who died? I know who killed her." During this time, I often crossed the dragon's spine to hang out here, and I happened to see that scene, I don't know who to say, and my stomach was so swollen that my internal organs were about to explode. ”
"Long Yi?" Long Ji turned to look at him, "You were next to Long Yi when she died?"
The boy nodded and said: "That night I sat on the tree over there, thinking about stealing something and going back to exchange for money, you know that the things of the Zong family are very valuable on our side, even if a incense burner and two rolls of bamboo silk are enough for a week's food, but I am afraid of alarming those big people, and I will be finished as soon as I am discovered." I sat there and waited for the night to get darker, when the little girl with a round face walked out of the yard alone, and turned a corner along the alley, and came to another courtyard, where a middle-aged man stood waiting for her. Just one glance, I was so frightened that my heart and liver almost popped out of my throat - just laughing, the heart and liver of this body had already rotted - that man was the most powerful person I had ever seen in my life, even if I was thirty or fifty steps away, I could still feel the sharp and sharp murderous aura emanating from his body, piercing his skin like countless small needles. ”
"Do you recognize him?" asked Ryuhime.
Long Chang was amused: "I don't know half of the entire sect family, even if the head of the family is standing in front of me, I can't tell it, I can recognize him as a ghost! He first whispered something, too far away for me to hear clearly, and then the little girl squatted on the ground and launched some spell, and a lot of mud was squeezed out of the cracks in the floor tiles, and it was lined up in crooked words on the ground, what was written, I couldn't see it too far away, and even if I saw it clearly, I couldn't recognize it, and no one taught me to read...... Anyway, after reading these lines, the man nodded, and as soon as he raised his hand, he killed the little girl, and he couldn't see how he made a move, as if an invisible knife had cut the little girl's throat, and blood spurted out five paces away. He picked up the little girl, went back to the courtyard, hung her on the flagpole, glanced at the place where I was hiding, and vanished. This sight almost scared me out of the tree, I didn't have the breath of a living person at all, and I didn't have any breath or heartbeat, but it could still alert him and scared me to death......"
"Invisible knives?" the girl frowned, "Wait a minute, that's not right, when we found Long Yi, the ground under the flagpole was filled with a 'pseudo-mud' phrase made of dirt, which predicted her own death. If she was killed elsewhere, how could she use her ability on the flagpole to write verses?"
The boy patted his head again, and through a hole in the skull, he could see his blue-white brain swaying in the skull, "I forgot to say that I forgot to say, after the man killed the little girl, he wiped the words on the ground with his foot, returned to this courtyard, hung the corpse on the flagpole, and then stood there and summoned the mud to form that line of incomprehensible ghost drawings, he seemed to have the same ability as the little girl." ”
"It's even more impossible!" Long Ji wondered, "Long Yi's 'pseudo-mud' is a special ability that is seen once in three hundred years, and no one else in the entire Long family will use it! Are you sure you read it right?"
"Wrong!Hmph!" Long Chang raised his voice angrily: "Don't look at this body, my eyesight and hearing are not very good, but as long as I Long Chang says something, I dare to make 10,000 guarantees, if I say half a lie, let the dragon god smash me into minced meat, chop me into stuffing, wrap it into a bun and throw it to the wild dogs to eat!"
The girl shook her head: "It's not that you're lying, but ...... Wait, the invisible knife you are talking about, is this what it looks like?" she stretched out her hand and pinched a finger, brewing for a long time, the sword finger slashed through the air, and a piece of green tile on the wall cracked in half with a "crackle", and after a few breaths, Long Ji asked, "I don't practice well, but is it like this?"
"Yes, yes!" said the boy, "That's it, it's a million times stronger than you!"
Long Ji's expression looked a little confused, "This is one of the nine methods of the Long family, 'Scythe Dragon', even in the sect family, there are not many people who can practice, I have decided to give up this practice...... So what does that man look like?"
Long Chang thought for a while, "Medium height, not fat or thin, wearing black clothes, covering his face, he can't see his appearance clearly, he should have a beard, his eyes are scary, oh yes, the shoes he wears are very strange, it seems that both of them are left-footed, but he still walks very fast." ”
"It's him!" The clues suddenly connected in Long Ji's heart, the five-year-old girl's eyes widened, shocked by her own thoughts, the man the boy described was none other than her father! She didn't often see her father, the last time she met was two weeks ago, her father was wearing two left shoes, saying that the recent "sickle dragon" technique has been completed, and began to focus on practicing the "lame dragon" footwork, wearing fifteen pounds of lead-soled left shoes for half a year, and then changing two right shoes for half a year, this is a very advanced cultivation of the lame dragon**. And his father hides a big secret, he never tells anyone about it, and only accidentally reveals it to Long Ji in a conversation.
On that day, the father went out on a mission and returned victoriously, and he was in high spirits, and drank a few more glasses at the banquet, and when the night was low, he withdrew from the people, leaving only the father and daughter in the room. Father drunkenly said that he wanted to perform a new trick, only to see his fingers flick the wine glass, insert a chopstick into it, the whole glass of wine condensed into a piece of hard ice, chopsticks mentioned, put forward a crystal clear popsicle, my father clicked and chewed the ice, while saying, "This is the ability absorbed from a traitor of the Long family who was killed in the hoe, a rare ice system, not very useful, but quite interesting." ”
Long Ji didn't speak. In addition to the 1,000 and 20 bloodline abilities of the Dragon Family, it is said that there is also an extremely rare ability called "Great Devouring", which is said to be able to collect the bloodline ability of another Dragon Family member when killing him, just like a blank dictionary, and write a new line of words in the dictionary every time he kills a bloodline heir. Long Ji vaguely guessed that his father was the holder of the legendary "Great Devouring" power, if what Long Chang said was true, then it was his father who killed Long Yi, seized the power of "pseudo-mud", and hung the body on the flagpole for a whole night?
Ryu Ji was not close to her father at all, but the speculation still made her heart tighten. Long Chang on the side didn't notice the change in her mood, and looked up at the moon: "Oh no, it's out of time, I have to show some real skills to go back." At three o'clock, the internal affairs envoy changed shifts, and the annoying thirteenth generation old man could sense the breath of the dead...... It's so troublesome, I forget the time when I talk about it. I'm leaving, Ryuji, and I'll come back to you in two days. The boy said, standing up.
"Wait a minute, I still have a question......" Ryuhime reached out and only grabbed air.
Blood-red flowers bloomed on the wall, and in an instant they formed a gorgeous carpet, and the Manshu Sawa from the otherworld was in full bloom, and a bandaged arm slowly rose through the void, and then a boy from the otherworld rose from the sea of flowers. The sound of drawing a sword on the dragon's spine sounded, and the internal affairs envoy noticed the abnormality and began to scream, Long Ji jumped off the low wall and returned to the courtyard, looking back, the young man from the other world was fearlessly facing the internal affairs envoy holding the sword in the moonlight, his smart eyes turned on her face, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Fifteen years later, in the post station on the south bank of the Holy River, a silver rose shone brightly.
