Chapter Seventy-Eight
Pei Ye was shocked, that person? Appeared in the building again?!
The young man subconsciously took a step outside the martial arts arena, and at the same time turned his head to find Yang Yan's figure.
However, the people in the martial arts field have gradually dispersed.
"Don't worry, he's not the only one." A voice came from the abdomen, "It's still this pavilion, and three people are here." β
Pei Ye stopped, and on the quiet martial arts field, he listened to the silent words from his belly, and in the eyes of outsiders, the whole person seemed to be nailed to the martial arts field.
Luckily, there doesn't seem to be a second pair of eyes.
"The one-eyed is still there, and there's no one else in the room." The black cat's flat and cold voice came, "Three people walked in, and they didn't sit. Began to speak. β
One-Eye is relaying the afternoon's decision.
There was silence for a while.
"That's all said and done, nothing new - huh? Someone brought in a night coat and he put it on. β
Be quiet.
"He's gone, and One-Eye wants him to keep an eye on your blue-skirted friend."
Pei Li's heart was subconsciously tightened, but he soon remembered that the other party's surveillance was reasonable and planned-if Li Yiqing was not in the other party's sight, and when the girl showed her flaws, wouldn't she be flattering and thrown to the blind man.
And the decision on when this battle broke out is in the hands of the girl, as long as she is not left alone, surveillance is just surveillance.
It's just that the girl wouldn't have thought that this surveillance would come now.
"No, it's not a simple stalk."
"What?" Pei Ye subconsciously opened his lips and spoke.
"They had spies to keep an eye on before, but this time they specifically asked this elder to not look like a stalker, I think, it's like-" The black cat didn't finish speaking, and suddenly paused, "Someone brought in two more sets of night clothes." β
β.β
One-eyed and the other person also put it on, but the old man who sent Dan didn't, and they didn't seem to plan to let him go."
"No, where are they going?"
"I don't know, the two of them are going out." The black cat paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "Hey, what do I think, this person. It seems that he is also an elder of the Seven Jiao Caves? β
"Who?"
"Send Old Man Dan."
A stream of slippery stuff rolled up from Pei Li's back, and something in the young man's mind "clicked" to connect, but he didn't find it.
An uneasiness began to creep in the mind that something was there. It has been overlooked.
But he didn't have time to think about it, for the black cat's voice rang out again.
"Hey, something seems wrong." Its voice was a little more sober.
Of course not, it started to be wrong from the first person went out, and it was even more wrong for the next two people to change their outfits!
Li Yiqing will obviously start to act in two days, and they are obviously waiting for Li Yiqing's - where are they going now?
"What's wrong?" Pei Li asked when he heard himself.
"They have anticipation of the enemy they are going to faceβI know what the two circles in the afternoon, one big and one small, represent."
"What does it represent?" When he came back in the afternoon, Pei Li and the black cat guessed that it was on behalf of Li Yiqing and her uncle, which was a continuation of the discussion at that time, but now his emotions had no room for thinking and discussion.
"Because the one big circle and three small circles in the row below just represent one eight lives and three seven lives in this pavilion."
β.β Pei Li's heart skipped a beat.
"So the line above may represent a seven-life, and an eight-life?" The black cat said, "Your green skirt friend's hole cards seem to have been looked at." β
Pei Li felt his blood flow accelerate.
The worst is so abrupt.
This is a thing that subverts the entire plan - Qijiao Cave knows that there is an eight-life on Cuiyu's side, and they know that the eight-life one from Baizhu Pavilion has joined!
This project must be halted immediately.
"Huh? Wait a minute. Suddenly, the black cat added, "They stopped." Someone came in. It's very new and urgent news, dictated. β
There was a moment of silence.
"What are you talking about?" Pei Ye couldn't help but say.
"It's so quiet, I just jumped in."
They only heard a tail, but the news hit them so hard that One-Eye walked back and forth in the house with his head down.
"What's his expression?"
"Rather exhilarating but . There was also some nervousness. β
β.β
"One-eyed asked if I could stop going."
β.β
The messenger said no. He wants them. Stall. β
"Hold on to what?"
"I don't know."
There was silence for a while.
"They brought in another set of night clothes, and sent the old man Dan to put onβand he was going with him!"
Where exactly to go?
This question still hangs in Pei Li's heart.
He had a guess, and that speculation made him even more uneasy.
There was silence on the black cat's side, and Pei Li only heard his own heartbeat.
"They're gone." Finally, the black cat said.
"What was the tail you just heard?"
"The man said she was alone."
All fears were answered.
"Who the is alone?!"
"Calm down, Pei Li."
β.β
Pei Ye took a deep breath, in just two quarters of an hour, things suddenly changed like this, the bright moon hung high, the night was silent, and there was no one in the martial arts field, Pei Ye tried to sort out the chaotic thoughts.
is single, of course, Li Yiqing is alone. There is no need to take any chances, the girl is either active or passive, in short, she started all this in advance.
And the shark who rushed to the smell of blood already knew her hole cards.
"Not necessarily, Pei Li, don't worry, didn't you notice that the order of these words is not quite right?" The black cat's calm voice came, "I'll follow them, see where the hell is going, and wait for my news." β
"I'll go right over."
"Don't be in a hurry, the situation is undecided, reckless and chaotic, I will call you when I get to the place."
"Is it too late?"
"Let's practice the sword for a while, Pei Li."
"Okay."
ββ
Three black shadows floated silently out of Bowang Garden.
The black cat glanced in their direction, reflexively twisted and jumped downstairs.
On the roof under the moon, several hunting figures flashed, and behind them, a small, silent shadow lingered in the distance.
Since the three of them left Bowang Garden, they went straight to the north, without twists and turns or hesitation, and the purpose was very clear. A straight line, from the Moon Catching Tower to the North City, took less than half an hour.
The lights were dwindling, and slowly only the moonlight remained, and the houses were low and dilapidated, and the cool breath of the lake blew from the west side, and the black cats moved their nosesβthey had been walking along the lake, and now they were closer.
When the surface of the lake with silver scales growing under the bright moon appeared in a corner of the sight, a black robe suddenly flashed and disappeared into the shadow of the building.
The black cat identified it as the old man who sent Dan.
The remaining two remained unchanged and continued to walk towards the lake.
The black cat glanced at the place where the black robe had disappeared, and they were still embellished.
When the surface of the lake gradually expanded, and it had become a splendid piece of vision that could not be ignored, the two people in front of them turned their heads and talked for a few words, and another black robe zigzagged and went in another direction, this time it was the one-eyed.
As the battle approached, several people began to arrange the formation.
Sure enough, soon, the last remaining black robe stopped behind a building, and the heavy shadows cast by the eaves melted him inside.
Is this it?
The black cat paused and looked forward, it was already a shallow reed, and on the shore of the Moon Catching Lake, the wide and calm lake was smeared with a layer of moonlight, like a silver mirror of the Queen Mother's fall.
And on the side of this silver mirror, there is a small green jade.
The girl put her hands behind her back, and the sheathed sword was held on these hands, and she walked with her head down, and from time to time she glanced at the surface of the lake, as if her heart was entangled by something.
Her posture was very relaxed, and at this distance, with the girl's cultivation, she couldn't detect the gaze that secretly fell on her.
In the shadow of the building, a cold light slowly slipped out, and the black cat had already felt the chill oozing from the extremely thin blade, and when it touched its neck, it must not need the owner to exert too much force.
"Come on, Pei Li." Black Cat said, "It's going to begin." β
ββ
Martial arts.
The voice of the black cat disappeared from the abdomen, Pei Ye returned to his body from the Catching Moon Tower, and the cool night retouched his skin, and he took a deep breath of cool night air.
In fact, this plan was pierced by the Seven Jiao Cave, and Pei Ye was not unprepared. Because he didn't make the plan, he didn't touch the details of the whole plan, and he didn't have enough control over it. And a sense of security is generated by a sense of control.
Since he didn't feel safe enough, he wouldn't panic too much when the plan went awry.
The day after he heard about this plan, he came to Capture Moon Tower to investigate the news, and he originally planned to improve this plan and make his own preparations.
But he definitely didn't expect that the girl didn't give him this time.
She held on to her plan and acted on her own.
Don't you hate misunderstandings between friends in the book?
Although the two have known each other for less than half a month, their friendship is all about fluttering words, but when the first request for help is generated, the relationship between the two should rise from talking to arms, and in the Moon Catching Building, when Pei Ye asked her for help through Zhang Junxue, he was ready to repay this friendship.
But the girl didn't seem to want to give it a chance.
The touch of the sword in his hand penetrated deep into his heart, and Pei Ye tried to twist his restless thoughts and re-devote himself to the two swords of the finches.
The black cat was right, it was an effective way to calm him down.
He tried to pick up on what he had just thought.
Under the new kendo realm, he had already experienced the awkwardness of these two styles. Why are they awkward?
Why?
To get the sword, you have to find the answer in your hand.
Pei Li's thoughts gradually sank, he adjusted his body, his wrist flicked, and a clear sound sounded in the martial arts.
He drew his sword again and again, carefully understanding its feedback, and gradually, the problem began to become clear in his mind.
- Too heavy, too slow.
At the beginning of "Cicada Sword", it was written in the Sword Sutra that the Sparrow Sword is a three-style killing sword, from one to three, the faster the lighter, the slower and heavier.
In all fairness, the sword writer has implemented this idea very well, and the level is extremely high, and the design of these three types of swords has no omissions, which can be described as perfect, so Pei Ye has not been able to find the problem.
Because they really don't have any problems.
The real problem was in the idea of writing the sword at the beginning, and it wasn't until after the realm of the sword path reached that Pei Li felt it.
Although the heavy sword is no longer suitable, it is okay to have a proper heavy fall, and the last thing that should not be is the slow sword.
The finch must not be slow.
The sword written in this way, although it is called a good product, is definitely not worthy of the cicada.
The first style [Flying Bronze Shadow] is light enough, so it does not show any clues, and as soon as the latter two styles slow down, they show their shortcomings.
So why has this problem not been discovered?
Pei Ye can probably guess the reason.
First, the combination of the two cicadas is still an asymmetrical, but sufficiently complete swordsmanship.
Just like the style of [Marrying Branches to the Banquet] that I saw Cheng Jianghong at the town inn that day, the cicada part is a high-quality, long enough scabbard, and the finch part is the sword connected to it, and when the two are combined, it can burst out with amazing brilliance.
And now, although the cicada part is a reliable enough scabbard, the finch part is just a short dagger, and this is where the strange feeling that Pei Li feels comes from. It is called "asymmetry".
So what does it mean to be "consummated"? Although the swordsman did not have the talent to write a sufficiently "long" sword, his own mellow and superb swordsmanship enabled him to tailor the handle of the dagger and polish the "interface" to the finest.
Stick this dagger into its sheath - the tenon is sewn!
Therefore, this seems to be a set of swordsmanship without flaws, and with a sufficiently good cicada part, the cicada finch can also burst out with unscrupulous power.
Second, to train the cicada at home, there is actually a rather high threshold. That is to say, the average sword learner, at most, [Aid Tree] [Breaking the Ground] can learn home, [Shelling] will begin to struggle, [Spreading Wings] [Qingming] to learn, the effort will take years, and if you don't use it in actual combat, you will only think that these two tricks are useless.
As for the latter two, it will be the end of being able to get some fur.
- If you don't notice the length of the "sheath" at all, you will naturally not feel the shortness of the "sword". Maybe in the eyes of others, the cicada is weird, but the finch is normal.
To see this problem, you have to stand at the same level as the swordwriter. Otherwise, even if you practice this sword for ten years, even if you find some clues, it is still difficult to enter.
Thinking of this section, Pei Li suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart.
He searched in his mind for the source of this feeling, and his hands had already begun to try to change the strength technique of the finch - these three types of swords, it should be faster and faster, and more and more powerful, one sword is better than the other. You should never compromise on speed for the sake of power, so that you are worthy of the wonderful cicada.
Pei Ye stood still, trying to find the imaginary feeling in his heart, and at the same time his body kept adjusting. It's a harder job than you think, and that's to be expectedβif you really use it easily, wouldn't it mean that you've created the same level of swordsmanship as Cicada.
Pei Li knew that he didn't have this ability, he was just trying to find a direction.
Finally, at a certain moment, Pei Li's wrist turned, and the subtle feeling was suddenly revealed. Before it passed, Pei Ye stabbed out with a sword.
He certainly found his way.
Two powerful forces collided violently in the wrists, they were twisted, they were rebellious, and even incompatible.
In an instant, it was as if Yang Yan's sword exploded in his wrist, and the severe pain and numbness spread all the way to his fingers, and his five fingers were as stiff as claws for a while. The sword came out of his hand, slashed through a messy arc, and fell to the ground.
"Ding" sound.
The young man who was about to step forward to pick it up was stunned, as if he had been nailed to the spot by a dull hammer.
"Ding"
Ding.
He'd heard it many times, but not once it hit his head like it did now, bringing everything together.
He found the familiar source.
A voice rose in his abdomen, "Come on, Pei Li." The black cat said, "It's going to begin." β
β.β
"Pei Li?"
β.β
"Pei Li?!"
"I'll have to wait." Pei Ye tilted his head and looked in a certain direction and said, "You help her first, I have something to do here." β
