Chapter Twenty-Four: The Storm Rises in the City

"It's been three days of lockdown!"

"The city lord ordered that you are not allowed to go out of the house at night!"

"Even the streets have been stuck!"

"There is chaos in the city, some carp warriors are clamoring to go out, and they are fighting with the city guards!"

"The city lord has ordered that food be bought and sold in limited quantities!"

"The city guards began to search the carp from house to house!"

Ah Dao went out to the sword hall every day, and the news he brought back was worse and worse every time. Lanyue City has become a huge cage, and people's hearts are restless, like trapped beasts.

"Bang!" the door to the Sword Pavilion was pushed open and slammed shut. Ah Dao closed the fish skin umbrella, kicked off the wet straw sandals, ran in with the rattan basket and shouted: "Ah Zhen, you have to add money to me, even the algae cake has risen to thirty white shell dollars today!"

"Shhhh

Zhi Kari stood quietly in the center of the floor, holding a wooden sword, his eyes did not squint, his feet were not fixed, and he controlled his breathing with the unique method of sound sword flow.

"Still practicing swords?" Ah Dao put down the basket, wiped the rain from his face, and grabbed a burlap to wipe the water stains on the floor. Then he opened the rattan basket, took out a gray-green algae cake and took a big bite, and said vaguely, "Anyway, you have to add money, otherwise I will lose a lot!"

"Is there any news out there?" Meng Mengda threw him a shell coin.

"It's a mess! The city guards were checking on the outsiders every day, and they were always fighting, and they also killed and wounded many carp soldiers. In my opinion, in the past two days, we will thoroughly investigate the dojos of the major sword halls. Ah Dao carefully hid the money and muttered, "I knew it was so troublesome, so I wouldn't have accepted you in." ”

A sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded, piercing Adao's eardrum and causing him to palpitate. The Zhijia Zhen in front of him was wrapped in a vague sword shadow, his body swept vertically and horizontally, the sound of the wooden sword breaking through the air was like a stormy wave, and the wind roared and thundered, shaking the ceiling of the dojo to hum and tremble.

Ah Dao was so shocked that the algae cake in his mouth fell to the ground, "Tianhe is on top, this is practiced?" He was dumbfounded, but after a few days of hard work, this country kid actually cultivated the basic sword skills of the sound sword flow to the fullest?

Meng Meng glanced at him: "Of course, my family is really not a waste like you!"

Ah Daogan laughed, slowly picked up the algae cake, and took a bite, the scone mixed with lake algae and duckweed was bitter and astringent, and it had never been so difficult to swallow. "I'm a scrapper. His throat was also dry, if it weren't for the waste materials, how could he have almost destroyed the Sword Pavilion? If it weren't for the fact that he still had a little thought in his heart, hoping that the master would come back alive, he would have been unable to hold on for a long time.

The sword shadow in the sky was restricted, and the real wooden sword was hunted, and the whistling sound disappeared. He was silent for a long time, shook his head and said, "This kind of sound sword technique has no lethal power except for disturbing the opponent's mind. ”

"That's because you haven't given birth to a sword heart yet, and you can't exert the power of the sound sword!" Ah Dao argued unconvinced, "When my master took out the sword, the sound of the sword turned into substance, and the stone was shattered, so that is called powerful!"

Meng Meng pouted: "Look at you like this, your master is probably also a good look." ”

"Master is different from me!he's the best carp warrior!" Ah Dao's face turned red, he stood up with his neck bent, and glared at Meng Mengda, "If you talk nonsense, don't live here!"

On the wooden frame, the gray sword sac shone with a faint glimmer.

Meng Meng sneered: "Then you return the money?"

Ah Dao was stunned, sat down weakly, and said curtly: "I'm useless, it doesn't mean that our sound sword flow is useless." ”

Zhi Hunt really put down the wooden sword, and the sound of the sword turned into reality, and there was not much difference from the sound path technique of the human Dao, and this sound sword technique was not worth the effort. He picked up the sword bag from the wooden frame and began to examine it again. This sword bag has been in his hands for many days, and he has not seen the mystery so far. However, the Chong and sword qi in the sea of knowledge seemed to be touched by it and became more and more agile.

"Ah Zhen, don't you feel tired of studying swordsmanship all day?" Ah Dao leaned over and asked stupidly.

Zhi Hunt Zhen didn't raise his head: "Isn't the carp always like this?"

"That'...... Rather. Dao was stunned, hung his head, picked up the crumbs that had fallen on the floor, and chewed them tastelessly. But who said that carp must be like this? A carp that doesn't like to practice swords is not a carp? He made a gesture for a while and said, "By the way, I heard that many carp people from other places can't stand it anymore and plan to forcibly break into the city. ”

Zhijia really groaned for a moment, got up and walked out of the dojo. Outside the door, the rain was pouring down, and the rain hung down from the eaves like a transparent curtain, and the streets were vapoury, pedestrians were sparse, and the scenery was blurry and difficult to distinguish.

"For the sake of a few carp disasters, the City Lord's Mansion did not hesitate to make a big move, and it was really strange that the city was closed for so long. Moe Moe Da jumped on Shin Chi Kari's head and used her little furry hands to catch the raindrops.

Zhi Jia Zhen sighed lightly: "They may not be looking for carp trouble." ”

Meng Mengda's heart moved: "Is it looking for you?"

"If the target is me, the City Lord's Mansion must also be controlled. Zhi Zhenzhen took a deep breath, and there were only a few drops of the sun and moon sword qi in his body, and he would reunite the sword fetus in half a day at the latest.

"If that's the case, they won't stop if they can't find you. Meng Meng Da shook off the rain in his palm, "Sooner or later, the city guards will find the Sword Pavilion." ”

"So we can't wait any longer. Zhi Hunting's eyes flickered, slowly swept over the dense sword hall dojos around him, and finally threw himself in the direction of the city gate.

Meng Meng rolled her eyes: "Then let's add fire and make Lanyue City completely chaotic!"

Zhi Hunt Zhen smiled slightly, and one by one the yarrow men jumped out of his arms, scattered away, and quickly disappeared into the heavy rain.

The water on the ground became a stream, and countless white arrows flicked up. A yarrow man unconsciously approached the city gate along the base of the wall. It was soaked with rain and slowed down, but under the rain curtain, the carp guarding the city gate did not notice. The yarrow man climbed the wall, slowly climbed up, burrowed into the cracks in the battlements, and quietly lurked.

Through the yarrow man, Zhijia Zhen saw that on the tower of the city, dozens of carp people wore armor and swords, and their helmets were inlaid with the double sword cross emblems of the city guards, standing under the eaves to avoid the rain. Several of the carp men walked quickly to the battlements, their cold eyes roaming around, as if sensing the yarrow men.

Zhijiaozhen's mind fell on the rest of the yarrow people again: three yarrow men infiltrated the nearby sword hall, one yarrow man went straight to the city lord's mansion, one yarrow man climbed into an inn through the window, and the last yarrow man appeared in the middle of the main street and swaggered forward.

Not long after, the city guards patrolling the street suddenly changed their route and gathered around the main street, while another team rushed in the direction of the inn. A moment later, in the City Lord's Mansion, Huo Ran, a richly dressed and burly one-eyed carp warrior, stood up, pulled out his twin swords on his back, and rushed out like a whirlwind.
