Chapter 13 The sound of footsteps in the middle of the night is terrifying
Ask for red tickets, ask for collections!
============================= divider =============================
Before you see him, you hear his voice first.
The sound of footsteps in my ears was heavy, as if the person who came was landing on the ground with the whole soles of his feet, and the muffled sound of the landing was like a small mountain tumbling over from outside the courtyard.
Su Jin instantly frowned, "Who else will come so late?" β
Now, Zhang Lao is not by her side, and she lacks the most powerful guards, even if she is in this long-running old mansion and old courtyard and is protected by many forbidden formations, she is still quite uneasy in her heart.
After all, both her appearance and the resources brought by her identity are too coveted. In the whole Dongping, there are not a few people who secretly have bad ideas full of malice against her. Especially at this most critical moment, countless pairs of eyes stared at her, like the fierce eyes of countless hungry wolves, and they wanted to swallow her alive.
Listening to the sound of footsteps hundreds of feet away, Su Jin felt as if a big drum was beating intermittently, which shocked her little face a little startled. However, she didn't stop combing the hair of the girl in her arms, but when her right hand was combing, suddenly a little in the void, a trace of red thread was pulled out of the void by her, and wrapped around her index finger.
The inner courtyard where Su Jin is now is only the core of a large courtyard outside. The courtyard outside covers a wide area, with a length of nearly 300 zhang and a width of nearly 300 zhang on the front and back, and it can already be called a small city. Right now, the sound of footsteps was detected from a corner a hundred and ten zhang away, by the vigilance and sound transmission prohibition.
Although after Su Jin bought this courtyard, he also invited many formation masters who had studied the method of prohibition for a long time to arrange it in many ways, but this courtyard like a city fortress still occupied too much area after all, and it was difficult to achieve completely effective protection with prohibition alone. As a result, the exterior framework of the entire compound is hastily arranged with some ordinary prohibitions such as warmth, screening, vigilance, and sound transmission.
Only a few key departments in the courtyard are the key protection areas, and Su Jin's residence is the top priority. For safety, Su Jin has never been stingy with money, she has spent countless money and qi refining materials before and after, and invited several formation masters from Mingzhou County in the Central Plains. However, when those formation prohibitions were first designed, they already had the secret connection tricks.
In the end, these important keys were laid down by Zhang Lao himself, and finally these guard formations that were newly integrated together, a total of three formations, and 17 road prohibitions, once all opened, the entire inner courtyard would not enter, the people inside could not get out, and the people outside would not want to enter.
This Forbidden Formation Diagram was originally designed to resist the most terrifying power of the Acquired Grandmaster by relying on the Forbidden Formation Diagram to resist the most terrifying power of the Acquired Grandmaster when the enemy had the Acquired Grandmaster, and then use the Acquired Grandmaster of his own side to work at ease and make a counterattack with a thunderous blow. Therefore, the defensive power of the entire forbidden array is so strong that even if it is an acquired grandmaster who is a natural law, he has to repeat it several times to crack it when he uses the power of the law phase.
It is precisely because the things used in this full set of protective array prohibitions are too extravagant, and the cost of opening them once, even Su Jin, who has a lot of money, will feel distressed for a long time, so most of the prohibitions are usually closed and not used, leaving only a few necessary basic protections.
Right now, the red line in Su Jin's hand is the switch that turns on all the protective prohibitions in the inner courtyard. Now there are two levels of security prohibitions left on the periphery, and if the person who comes is still suspicious, she can pull the red line and open a full three, seventeen road prohibition.
Moreover, in addition to Baizhang, there were more than thirty True Spirit Qi Refiners who were waiting to offer their loyalty. As long as the person who comes is not an acquired grandmaster-level master, Su Jin can sit back and relax.
The footsteps were one step at a time, and then just as they were about to touch the second level of alert on the periphery, they suddenly stopped. Su Jin listened attentively, and the movements in her hands couldn't help but be affected, as if it hurt the girl in her arms.
Qin Mengliuqiong's nose wrinkled slightly, snorted, and turned over again. The whole person was about to roll into Su Jin's arms, she was like a koala, holding her sister Su's waist with both hands, not knowing that the danger was imminent, she still fell asleep.
Su Jin held her breath and listened to the subtle movements coming from outside the courtyard as she stretched out a round, well-proportioned little foot from under the moonlight long skirt.
Qianqian jade feet, exquisitely clear, white and flawless, snow-white soft satin like jade.
Although there is no vulgar toe oil on the five toes, it has a pure natural beauty, and its color is pale red like the petals of spring peach blossoms.
A delicate silver anklet, from top to bottom, slides down the calf to the instep, and gently presses to the round ankle, which makes the jade foot delicate and delicate, evenly proportioned up and down.
Su Jin sat at the head of the bed, supporting the bed with one foot, and the other foot seemed to be tilted to the extreme, like a taut rubber band. Under the white snow skin, there are a few pale blues, which are the delicate tendons highlighted by her exertion.
She tried several times in a row, and she was so anxious that her head was covered with sweat, and finally in the fourth round, she finally hooked a ruler-long Qingfeng from under the sheet at the end of the bed.
ββThis is the Qiushui Sword, the first treasure of the eight hundred miles of mountains and rivers in Dongping!
Su Pingnan has been busy in the outside world recently, so this heavy treasure naturally stayed in Su Jin's room. Now holding the spirit sword in his hand, Su Jin suddenly had a trace of courage in his heart.
Since learning that this former spirit sword has lost its most critical spiritual intelligence, Su Jin has carefully selected a precious but not vulgar scabbard for it - this is the hope, and one day in the future, she will also find a suitable and well-known 'scabbard' to accompany her for the rest of her life.
Su Jin gently pulled the Qiushui sword out of the sheath, just like a pool of autumn water flowing into the eyewaves, even if he had only seen it for a short time, but once again seeing this beauty from the Qiushui Yi people, Su Jin still couldn't help but be bewitched by the impulse in his heart, and waved the sword for a while.
She doesn't know how to wield a knife or a gun, and even if she picks up this spirit sword and fights against people, she can only be injured herself. But now she danced a bend of autumn water, blue light, like a natural posture, like a dream, as if this spirit sword was born for her.
With the sword in his hand, his heart was slightly calm, and at this moment, the footsteps outside sounded again.
It can be heard that the person who came has tried his best to restrain the footsteps, but the heavy footsteps still come lightly and heavily.
When they got closer, even the goldfish in the lotus pond outside the window were frightened. With a flick of their tails, hundreds of goldfish dived in unison, thousands of scales appeared, and the bright moonlight played a surprising tune of golden red light on the water.
If you don't see it, you can see its power first.
Even the goldfish was scared away by this late-night uninvited visitor, but there was a slightly relaxed look on Su Jin's face.
Just when she broke through the ban outside, the uninvited guest had already identified herself. When the second outer ban was passed, a complex and often changed code corresponded, and she already knew the identity of the person who came late at night - this person who visited late at night, named Yang Zhao, was a loyal officer under her.
"Your own people, don't worry!" Su Jin said to herself in her heart, and suddenly couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Until this moment, the clothes behind her back had been soaked with sweat, and the delicate fine silk was very uncomfortable on her back. She hurriedly straightened her clothes, and couldn't help but smile secretly at the sound of her own news.
In fact, it is not because she is too timid, but because the pressure she has been under in the past few days is too great. Even if she seems strong on the outside, even if she is strong on the inside, even if she is called the queen who listens to the government...... Even though...... But she was still a woman after all, a young woman.
Now, the pressure of the past few days finally broke out in the middle of the night, and the cold sweat on her back has been her most strong-willed performance.
On the one hand, Su Jin used the sound transmission ban to order Yang Zhao to meet outside the courtyard, and on the other hand, the red line between his fingers did not disperse, and the spirit sword in his hand was not sheathed, so he walked straight to a screen in the room before letting Yang Zhao in.
Generally speaking, in Dongpyeong-gun, it is extremely taboo to enter the courtyard of the daughter's house in the middle of the night. However, Su Jin's behavior was unusual-if she really acted according to the ancient etiquette requirements, she would have already been sold by the Yang family to a certain son or a certain young master as a wife and concubine, and it was impossible for her to do those things that shocked the entire Dongping;
Second, this Yang Zhao is her henchman, and if she asks to see her late at night, she must have something important to tell her, and she must see her;
Thirdly, Su Jin knew that Yang Zhao was loyal and had always been a loyal and honest person who did not have any ambitions, and more importantly, what he hid under his rough face was a girlish heart, and the special orientation of gender made her not worry about any scandals spreading.
But even with so many reasons, she still hid behind the screen to hide her eyes and ears - the date was imminent, and Su Jin's heart became as nervous as an ordinary girl meeting her lover, even if she didn't care about these herself, but she had to consider that person's feelings.
With the sound of shallow and deep footsteps, Yang Zhao strode into the inner courtyard.
No wonder his footsteps were so heavy, it turned out that at this moment, Yang Zhao's whole body was wrapped in layers of iron armor. The thick iron armor, combined with his burly figure, marched like a nine-foot-tall iron giant.
The entire armor has tens of millions of armor leaves, shining with a cold blue light in the moonlight, like the sharp teeth of a giant beast; These armor leaves, refined by the true fire of the Qi Refiner, can be a protective weapon when they are accumulated, enough to block a huge blow from a thousand jun, and can also prevent the slashing of ordinary third-order magic weapons; If it is released with spiritual consciousness or divine thought, the armor leaves can also be transformed into sharp swords that snatch people's flesh and blood.
Su Jin thought that this was the magic weapon 'Breaking Army Thousand Armor' that she had purchased herself, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart: "Breaking the Army Thousand Thousand Armor is not allowed to be used in a big war, and now that Yang Zhao is wearing this armor, is there something big happening outside?" β
In the next moment, she couldn't help but think of her appointment with himβ"What the hell is going on?" Could it be me and him ......"
