Chapter 53: Shadow of the Wind (I)

In front of the bamboo window of the tea shop, Luo Xiao played with the teacup, watched Cheng Feilong's long figure under the slanting sun gradually move away, drank the tea in the cup that was getting cold, threw down a few coins of broken silver, and turned to leave.

At dusk, Luo Xiao's figure appeared in front of an inconspicuous house at the end of the T-shaped alley, sensing that there was no one on the street and pushed the door in. The eye is a two-person high wall, which is a common building in a general mansion, and behind the wall is the main hall compound. However, this wall is a little rough, and there is no plaster, revealing uneven bricks.

Ordinary people will go directly around the wall after entering the door, but Luo Xiao walked under the wall, inserted two fingers like an iron skewer, dug out a brick, pulled out a thin line inside, and pulled and shook the thin line rhythmically according to a certain rhythm. Tilt less, put bricks back, erase traces, and go into the yard.

took out a small package from the secret place in the corner of the courtyard, weighed the weight, Luo Xiao hooked the corner of his mouth with an arc of sarcasm, turned around and walked out of the yard.

Luo Xiao's series of mysterious actions are his work as a secret child for more than two years. As the outermost secret son, his job is very simple, that is, to integrate any valuable or seemingly worthless information that happened in Yishui Xiuwutang and Yishui City within a month, and then come here to transmit it in secret language, and after completion, enter the courtyard to the specified place to receive intelligence funds.

Mizi's promotion of course depends on the value of the information provided, because in the past two years, Luo Xiao has not passed on much valuable information, so he is still only the outermost member, and the intelligence funds he receives are pitiful. But it is with this meager "salary" and work-study that he can continue to stay in Xiuwutang and work towards his goal, although the progress is slow, but he is making progress after all.

Since this secret reporting method is only operated by one person, there is no contact person, which greatly reduces the possibility of exposure. Taking a step back, even if it is detected by the government guard or the inspection department, it is just a loss of a stronghold, and no one can catch it.

According to the regulations, the secret report is made once on the seventh day of the first month of each month, and if there are various accidents on that day that cannot be reported secretly, as long as it is not major information, it must be postponed to the next month. Luo Xiao has missed the secret report for two months in a row because he is out, so he will supplement it in time as soon as he comes back, and attach a note at the end that since he has reached the fourth order, he will often go out on tasks in the future, and it is difficult to ensure the basic secret report work, so he will apply for a suspension.

That's right, Luo Xiao began to prepare to get rid of the identity of Mizi. If he was really just a red belt disciple, it would be almost impossible to get rid of this intelligence organization, but becoming a samurai would have the means and possibility to get rid of it. Of course, it's just possible. With Luo Xiao's understanding of this intelligence organization, if his samurai identity is exposed, the superiors will only be more unscrupulous to control him - a samurai-level secret son is worth much more than a mere red belt disciple.

And this is also one of the important reasons why Luo Xiao hides his strength.

This secret report will be the last of his secret career, and at the same time, it will also be the beginning of his escape from the control of the organization.

......

"What, you want to practice the mysteries of footwork?"

In the Secret Martial Pavilion, Deacon Kang Wu looked up at the young man in front of him, and vaguely remembered that two months ago, he had changed to a rare selection of the Arcane Meaning of the Airburst Arrow and the Defensive Arcane, and later exchanged for two Qimen martial arts, how long had it been? Thinking like this, he couldn't help but shake his head, "Red Belt Disciple Luo Xiao, you must know that you can't chew too much, you still have to polish the mysteries and martial arts that you exchanged before......

"Thank you for the deacon's advice, but I'm almost done polishing, and I want to work harder to get promoted to black belt as soon as possible. Luo Xiao looked sincere and told the truth.

One of the criteria for promotion to a black belt is to be proficient in a footwork or body martial art. At present, Luo Xiaoyuan is full of strength, strong martial arts, and fierce righteousness, and the only shortcoming is the lack of agile body skills or fast footwork. This was evident in the battle against Agush and Colin - if there were no shields and arrows, it might not have been able to stop the Thurs from escaping. What's more, there was Cheng Feilong's mention before, so Luo Xiao took the cultivation of the mysteries of body footwork as the focus of the next stage of cultivation.

After advancing to the fourth order, Luo Xiao was already eligible to apply for a major step (body) martial arts, and if the merit points were enough, he could even apply for a mystery, so Luo Xiao came to the Secret Martial Pavilion to apply.

Kang Wu rolled his eyes, how long have you been promoted to a red belt, and you want to get a black belt? What should you promote? However, the disciple is studious, and as a deacon, it is always difficult to dampen his enthusiasm, but what should be said must be said, this is also his job to sit in this position, and then persuade at the moment, "You are so studious, it is good, but it is good to practice a footwork or body martial arts, you must not be too ambitious, trying to ...... overnight"

Kang Wu was a bunch of ramblings, it was nothing more than that the arcane technique was extremely draining, and the footwork was only an auxiliary exercise, and after getting close to the opponent, he had to make another offensive arcane like Ben Lei Palm. In this way, it is equivalent to double the consumption, which is really not something that a martial artist who has not yet transformed the Yuan Force can eat. Therefore, it is better to choose footwork in martial arts to practice more steadily, although it is far less powerful than footwork, but it is enough to use it in the martial arts realm.

It should be said that Kang Wu is indeed well-intentioned, and what he said is reasonable, but for Luo Xiao, it is really ...... Long-winded. How can a martial artist still get into Luo Xiao's eyes, his current opponent can only and must be a samurai, and the choice of martial arts is called brain pumping.

Seeing that this red-belted disciple did not enter the oil and salt and insisted on choosing the Aoyi, Kang Wu was really impatient, and immediately threw the Aoyi catalog on the case: "Okay, you can choose." "Turn around and walk away, not wanting to bother again.

Luo Xiao looked back at the Upanishads catalog, and remembered that among the fifteen mysteries in it, there was only one footwork and one body method.

The so-called footwork, which is based on speed, has three main functions. First of all, of course, it is to get close to the opponent as quickly as possible, and attack the opponent before the opponent has no time to defend or find the wrong position for defense; secondly, to chase the enemy, in the face of absolute speed, the opponent cannot win or run away, and there is a dead end; third, of course, it is convenient to escape if the fight is not timely, and the green mountains are left, not afraid of running out of firewood. At the beginning, whether it was Agush or Colin, if he advanced to the seventh level wolf tooth warrior and took the agile route, Luo Xiao would not be able to stop him at all, which shows the importance of escape.

The body also emphasizes the pace, but unlike the pure speed footwork, it is mainly flexible and changeable, and it emphasizes the unpredictable body style in the battle to appear in the opponent's line of sight or defensive blind spots, and the enemy is not prepared, which has the advantage that footwork does not have.

There are advantages and disadvantages of footwork and body style, which one to choose?

Luo Xiao's gaze wandered back and forth between "Walking on the Stars" and "Nine Consecutive Flashes", entangled in it.

As far as his heart is concerned, what Luo Xiao hopes to cultivate most is the unity of body and step that has both speed and agility, but unfortunately, there is no such thing.

I don't know how long it took, but an impatient voice came from my ear: "Haven't you chosen yet?"

Luo Xiao was excited, and subconsciously blurted out: "It's a pity, there is no one that has both speed and agility in the unity of the body and steps...... and then came back to his senses, hurriedly put down the catalog, and bowed down to apologize, "The disciple lost his words, please forgive the deacon." ”

Kang Wu stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes rolled, it was simply infuriating and ridiculous - well, not only did he dislike martial arts, but now he couldn't even get into the mysteries, and he was "one step by one"!

The more Deacon Kang thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't say that he wanted to smash the young disciple's spirit, which could be regarded as thinking about his future, so he coughed lightly and said, "There is actually a mystery of unity in the body. ”

Well?!

Luo Xiao looked up in surprise, is there really one? Why is it not included in this mystery catalog?

"You must be wondering why it wasn't included in the Upanishads catalog, right?" Deacon Kang smiled slightly, a hint of weirdness flashed in his eyes, "The reason is very simple, because no one has ever been able to cultivate successfully, so there is no need to include it." ”

Luo Xiao's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Can I take a look at this mystical cultivation technique?"

A hint of mockery flashed in Kang Wu's eyes, and he turned around and walked into a corner of the inner hall to rummage for a while before taking out a booklet and putting it on the desk, raising his chin and motioning for Luo Xiao to open it.

Luo Xiao took it and looked at it, his expression was slightly surprised, because this was not the secret of the mysteries, but the experience of the predecessors in cultivating the mysteries. When he opened the book and looked down page by page, his eyes became more and more strange.

Kang Wu squinted at Luo Xiao, wanting to see the little guy's frustrated expression, and then he had to knock it, but ...... Why is the expression on this little guy's face so weird?

After a while, Luo Xiao put down the book, raised his head and said, "How many merit points do you need to cultivate this mystery?"

Kang Wu was stunned for a while before he reacted: "You...... You said...... Do you want to cultivate?"

"Yes, I'm sure I'll cultivate it!" Luo Xiao replied very decisively, looking directly into Kang Wu's eyes, "I want to know, what is the name of this mystery?"

Kang Wu stared at Luo Xiao for more than ten breaths before he slowly exhaled a depressed breath: "Wind Shadow - it's called Wind Shadow!"
