24: Long sheath and short knife
It was not until late at night that Li Ducian returned to the Liuxiang Pavilion.
Now that this Chang'an City is about to start a thrilling battle, he naturally has to be familiar with everything around him, and he can't be careless.
What's more, since it has been decided to do it, the two envoys of water and fire must be killed.
Must die.
Only when these two people are dead, or what kind of protector and Heavenly King is dead, can the remaining Demon Sect members of the Central Plains Martial Arts be used by him, and he will be the first to look forward.
This time, it's a crucial one.
As long as you can survive and survive to the end, then everything will be different.
Leaving aside whether the Blue Dragon Society's side can become the dragon leader for the time being, he must no longer be passive on the Demon Sect's side.
As for Shangguan Xiaoxian, this woman's current situation is actually similar to him.
Although he already has some strength, he still has little chance of winning compared to the "Blue Dragon Society", so Shangguan Xiaoxian left that sword book before, in order to cultivate him into a pivotal figure in the Demon Sect now.
This person not only wants the Central Plains martial arts, but even the Western Regions has moved his mind.
It's a pity that Li Ducian really doesn't want to hide his clumsy and pretend to be stupid anymore.
So at the moment, the two sides are just using each other and achieving each other, and the other party is helping him seize the momentum, while Li Ducian is secretly helping him compete with the "Blue Dragon Society".
However, since Shangguan Xiaoxian said just now that he wanted to kill him......
Thinking of this, Li Ducian's eyes immediately became gloomy, she can say this sentence today, and sooner or later she will have to put it into action another day.
For this woman, he only feared and never believed it.
But at this point, it is like an arrow on the bow, and there is no choice.
Shangguan Xiaoxian didn't have a choice, and neither did he.
And this is a great opportunity, whether you can miss it, it depends on who is better.
The snow is thick and the night is deep.
When Li Ducian went back, there were already people waiting for him.
Waiting for him was a beautiful girl in the Liuxiang Pavilion, who seemed to have waited for a long time, leaning against the pillar and yawning, trembling, seeing him come back, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he took a few steps to meet him.
"What about the others?" Li Ducian asked.
The girl walked in front and led him to a private room on the second floor, and then said in a voice like a mosquito: "The master only said that we will wait for you to come back and serve you, but he didn't say much." ”
"You guys?" Li Ducian turned his head to look at the bed, only to see that there was a girl in the quilt who was exactly the same as the girl in front of him, with his head exposed, wrapping himself like a quail, he brushed the falling snow on his shoulders, and said with a smile, "No need, you go and rest first." ”
When the two left in a huff, Li Ducian walked around the room very vigilantly, and then walked quickly to the bed, and with the help of the lamp placed on the table, he reached out and uncovered the mattress on the bed that still had residual fragrance.
There was a blue cloth bag hidden under the bed.
Li Ducian reached out and took it off, and when he saw the contents clearly, he couldn't help laughing.
As soon as the lights were lit, it was actually the stolen Demon Sect's three major apologetic powers.
Hardly hesitating, without any nostalgia, he threw the package out the window.
Just one after the other, there was suddenly a lot of movement in Liuxiang Pavilion.
The door was pushed open, and the two envoys of water and fire swaggered in, as well as the third princess of the Demon Sect, Tie Gu.
The three of them had unkind faces, and they were leading several Demon Sect members behind them.
The Fire Envoy laughed and said, "Thunder Envoy, you betrayed the Holy Sect, stole the Guardian Divine Skill, and colluded with the Blue Dragon Society, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”
Li Ducian raised his eyebrows, he was still thinking about how to start, but he didn't expect these people to come to the door first.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, they had already divided into one side and blocked the door and window.
Li Ducian was sitting on the bed, with his back against the wall, his hands on his sleeves, and a horizontal knife on his legs, but the plum blossom needle was actually hidden in his hand, and he asked unhurriedly: "What about the evidence?" ”
The water envoy couldn't see much expression on his face, and said lightly: "Search!" ”
Several Demon Sect disciples immediately rushed in and rummaged through the rooms for a while, until they lifted the mattress and saw that it was empty underneath, and the water envoy's eyes became subtle.
Li Ducian smiled strangely, and there was undisguised mockery in his dark and deep eyes: "It seems that there is no evidence." ”
The third princess Tie Gu said coldly: "You are the latest among our people, and you have the leisure to go out before, it is really difficult not to make people suspicious." ”
Li Ducian got up unhurriedly: "There's no way, leading a group of fools, and if you want to win, you can only do more by yourself." ”
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the room was already a little delicate, and their faces were suddenly cold, their eyes showed coldness, and there was a brewing murderous intent.
"Ahem," Li Ducian coughed lightly and cleared his throat unhurriedly, "Don't do it yet, I have received news and learned the whereabouts of the secret treasure of the Money Gang." ”
"Really?" The water made his eyes light up, and the murderous moment disappeared, "Where did the news come from?" ”
Li Ducian glanced at him and said casually, "Do you think you have eyes and ears?" If I die, the news that you are stealing the divine skills of the Holy Sect and secretly plotting will spread, and I don't think the sect leader likes to see you Dharma Protectors and princesses get mixed up. ”
As he spoke, his heart was actually a little chilly.
And although the expressions on the faces of the people opposite him seemed calm, their breath also changed.
The four of them looked at each other, their expressions already reflected in the lamp, flickering and dimming, good and evil, and then they all laughed.
The water envoy hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" ”
The fire envoy answered with a smile: "Offended, offended!" ”
Even Tie Gu smiled: "I hope you will forgive me!" ”
Seeing the three people singing and harmonizing, Li Ducian was also smiling on his face, laughing harmlessly, he took off his mask and said casually: "I heard that Ye Kai has arrived at the 'Cold Fragrance Garden', when will you do it?" ”
The four of them suddenly sat down at the table like friends who were advancing and retreating together, pouring tea and water, and looked very familiar.
"It's up to you to make the thunder decide on this matter," the water envoy put on a kind appearance of an old god, put his hands into his cotton sleeves, and said with a smile, "In addition to Ye Kai and Shangguan Xiaoxian, the people and horses from Chang'an City have the eighth prince of Baoding City Guard, 'Songyang Iron Sword' Guo Ding, 'Flying Fox' Yang Tian, 'Red Devil Hand' Yi Ye Crying, as well as the East China Sea Jade Xiao Daoren, and 'Fenglangjun' Ding Lin......"
After a series of names were spoken, Li Ducian couldn't help but look solemn, these big names who only existed in rumors for him in the past are now going to fight him.
Tie Gu said softly: "These people are either martial arts giants with hands and eyes to the sky, or they are masters of the rivers and lakes who are rampant, and they are not easy to deal with." ”
The fire envoy laughed twice as usual before saying, "Thunder envoy, when did you say you would do it?" We all listen to you. ”
Li Ducian looked at the faces of this group of people, his pale and thin hand never let go of the knife beside him, his dark eyes turned to the lamp on the table, and said softly: "Then tomorrow, do it tomorrow." ”
The water envoy suddenly asked, "Then I don't know the whereabouts of the secret treasure of the Money Gang?" ”
Li Ducian squinted at him: "You also said that it is a secret treasure, since it is a secret treasure, you may not be able to get it just by knowing the place, you have to find the right key to open the door, Shangguan Xiaoxian is the key to open the secret treasure...... Compared to the little gadgets you covet, it's the real good stuff inside; In the past, Shangguan Jinhong's invincible martial arts in the world, as well as the peerless learning of various sects and sects he looted, plus the treasures of the rich and rivaled the country......"
At this point, the breath of several people was already shortened, and their eyes were red.
The water envoy immediately said: "Okay, let's do it tomorrow." ”
After everything was discussed, the three of them hurried away again.
Li Ducian sat at the table, listening to the wind whistling outside the window, and only after a while sighed softly and slowly pulled the knife out of its sheath.
What he pulled out was not a hundred steel knives, but a somewhat strange knife.
The scabbard is more than three feet, but the knife is much shorter, the handle is wrapped in cloth, the spine is thick, the blade is black, and the edge of the knife is shining with a cold glow that is inches long.
The cold knife was unsheathed for a moment, and at first glance, I saw the cold light breaking through the air, and when I looked at it again, that little flame flew silently to the tip of the knife, as if dancing.
Before he knew it, a hard cocoon had formed on his tiger's mouth.
No, these hard cocoons are already there.
In fact, he is no stranger to the "knife", and is even very familiar with it, he has done a lot of things over the years, and the most familiar blade is probably the knife.
Not the so-called "soul chasing knife", but a pig-killing knife.
His hand holding the knife was also very steady, unusually steady, his pale right hand grasped with one hand, his phalanges were clearly defined, and his tendons were tendoned, full of an indescribable fierceness.
Martial arts does not necessarily refer to internal force, but also skills. Sword moves and sword moves are all skills in the final analysis; The kind of skill that keeps running in again and again, pondering day and night, cutting and wandering between the skin and flesh, and doing whatever you want.
On the way to come, he went to the house of the butcher who was a master when he was a pig and bought this knife that he was used to.
In the past, everyone thought that Jing Wuming was a swordsman with his left hand, but who would have thought that his right-handed swordsmanship would be faster and more ruthless, and he would be alone in the martial arts.
And now these people regard him as the Twelfth Knife and a master who is proficient in the "Seventy-two Ways Soul Chasing Knife", but who would have thought that what he was hiding in the scabbard of this long knife was a deadly short knife.
As for the "Clavicle Ecstasy Heavenly Buddha Scroll", Li Ducian hasn't looked at it until now, because time does not allow, he is afraid that after he sees it, most of his mind will be used to ponder this martial art; And the most important thing at the moment is to live first, use the "ghost secret spectrum" to protect yourself, and then devote yourself to facing a strong enemy.
"Hula!"
At first glance, the wooden window was wide open, the wind and frost squeezed in, and the fire was extinguished instantly.
Li Ducian glanced at him, and his body suddenly rose into the wind like a kite, swinging into the air, the tip of the knife was stirred, the wind and snow swirled, and the pieces of flying snow were already shattered.
As soon as the light of the knife is bright, the wooden window is closed, and the knife is sheathed.
Just wait for the dawn!!
