Chapter 30: Speaking
The corpse was dressed in a brocade robe composed of gorgeous brocade, animal skins and metal decorations, mainly in yellow tones, dazzling colors, decorated with colorful wave patterns and liudan, tied around the waist with a gold belt full of precious stones, embedded with emerald green jade, and wearing black high boots under its feet, embellished with gold decorations, looking extremely noble and gorgeous.
"It's ...... Flying fish suits? Jin Yiwei? Qi Lin looked at the clothes of the corpse in front of him, and immediately linked it with the "Jinyi Guard" of the Imperial Forest Army of the Guang Dynasty that he usually saw in TV dramas and museums.
He couldn't help but feel a burst of horror, he had just heard the story of the Tujia genius swordsman fighting Jinyiwei during the day, why did he see Jinyiwei in the Tower of Transcendence that night?
Is it a coincidence or a necessity? What kind of existence is the Tower of Transcendence? What is its origin, mechanism, and effect?
If you want to figure it out, maybe Qi Lin has spent his whole life constantly climbing and constantly breaking through to the next level, and he may not have the opportunity to figure it out.
But those are all afterthoughts, at the moment, the most important thing for Qi Lin is to ensure that he can survive, he has a very strong and exact premonition, that is, he must not let his spirituality drop to 0, otherwise he will definitely die.
Packing up his mind, Qi Lin continued to observe and look at the scene.
The gorgeous and noble brocade-clad guard was now lying quietly on the ground like a rag, and deep and shallow wounds could be seen all over his body, the most fatal of which was a penetrating wound located in his heart.
And on the ground not far from him, there was a knife inserted, according to Qi Lian's shallow history and knowledge of TV dramas, this is the melee weapon commonly used by the Jinyi Guard of the Guang Dynasty - the embroidered spring knife.
After a pause, the light path gradually increased the flickering frequency, not allowing Qi Lin to stay too long, he quickly glanced at it and stepped directly over the body of the brocade guard, and easily pulled out the embroidered spring knife beside him and continued to move forward.
As the standard weapon of the Guang Dynasty spy agency Jinyiwei, the embroidered spring knife in Qi Lone's hand is about one meter long as a whole, deducting the handle, the blade length is only 70 cm, the blade is narrow, slightly curvature, and the weight feels about a pound more, for Qi Lone, who has 85 points of transcendence, it is as light as a piece of paper.
This knife was quite different from the straight knife he was used to, but it was better to have a weapon than not to have one.
With the weapon in hand, Qi Lin calmed down for a moment, he raised his head and set his eyes on the tower not far away.
What will be on top of the tower?
A leader of the brocade guards? Ouchi masters?
Or a genius swordsman?
In any case, according to the rules of the Tower of Transcendence, he must face it.
He didn't think too much, adjusted his mentality, and continued to walk forward calmly.
Keeping his guard on his feet, he continued to advance for hundreds of meters, and the dilapidated, blood-strewn streets showed him what happened to an ordinary village after being burned and humiliated.
Successively stepping over dozens of villagers and the corpses of Jinyiwei, Qi Lin came to the bottom of the wooden tower.
"Twenty-second ......" Qi silently counted, at the bottom of this wooden tower, on the edge of the wooden staircase, he saw the body of the twenty-second Jinyi Guard, who was lying face down on the ground at the moment, and an obvious sword mark could be seen on the back of the corresponding heart.
Qi Lin somehow, a little concerned about the number of dead Jinyi Guards, he silently recorded the situation of the Jinyi Guard's corpse he saw, from the village to the bottom of the tower, you can see a Jinyi Guard's corpse every twenty meters, and the further back the Jinyi Guard's corpse there are fewer wounds, until the one at the bottom of the tower, or even only the fatal sword wound in the back heart.
He seemed to see a swordsman who didn't like to fight, and his moves were unfamiliar, and he took out his sword with hatred, and in the process of continuously killing Jinyiwei, his swordsmanship became more and more mature, more and more refined, and finally killed him.
The death of the villager made the swordsman angry and unsheathed, and in an instant, the sword was unstoppable, and he slashed twenty-three masters of the brocade guard, and finally died of exhaustion in the death fight with the leader "wolf". ”
The story that Zhang Zizai told during the day came to Qi Lian's mind, Qi Lin shook his head and took a deep breath.
Then he saw that next to the corpse of the twenty-second brocade guard, there was actually a long Miao knife, and he couldn't help but light up his eyes, and immediately replaced it with the embroidered spring knife in his hand.
This weapon is obviously much more suitable for Qi Lone, with a blade that is nearly one meter and three meters long, and the blade is also about one meter long, which is longer and heavier than the straight knife used by Qi Lone in reality, but it is more satisfying for Qi Lone's current physical fitness.
He walked lightly up the stairs of the wooden tower.
The staircase seemed to be in disrepair, creaking as if it was about to crack and collapse in the next moment.
After winding the staircase around the wooden tower and circling several times, he reached the top of the tower.
The wind and snow suddenly became heavier.
In the snowy sky that was about to fall into the night, the situation at the top of the tower was imprinted into Qi Lian's eyes, this was an open-air, huge, wooden platform, at this moment, there were three people on the platform, two of them were lying on the ground, they were the brocade guard who fell not far in front of Qi Lian's body, and a swordsman who fell at the feet of the standing person, holding a long sword, wearing a coarse cloth cotton robe.
"Twenty-three..."Qi Lin saw the corpse of the last Jinyi Guard, his pupils contracted slightly, and the numbers really matched.
There are twenty-three people in the dead brocade guards, and one in the dead Mai swordsman.
So, the rest of the living ...... Qi Lin raised his head, just in time to meet the other party's gaze.
The living person is different from the brocade guards he saw before, he is close to Qi Lian in height, has a rough appearance, has a small short beard on his chin, wears an iron wide-brimmed hat, and wears a simple black white bodysuit, which is embellished with the image of a fish and dragon with golden lines, and a heart-protecting breastplate is wrapped around his heart.
His expression was indifferent, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were cold and full of murderous intent, as if he regarded all life as pigs and dogs.
"Wait, what these people look like!" Qi Lin only realized that something was wrong at this moment, since he entered the Tower of Transcendence, whether it was the Sakura Wanderer on the first floor or the giant swordsman on the second floor, their faces were shrouded in a layer of mist, and only their eyes were exposed, and now on this new layer, he could actually see everyone's face clearly.
No wonder it made him feel so uncomfortable at this level, after having his appearance, those corpses brought him the feeling of reality, how could these pictures that would only be seen on TV in reality not have an impact on people in his peaceful era!
Before he thought about it, the next thing directly made Qi Lonely stunned in place.
But it was the Xuanyi swordsman who saw his arrival, tilted his head, and opened his mouth.
"Another one?"
A shocked expression appeared on Qi Lian's face.
