Chapter 57: The Piano and the Sword
The roof tiles reflected a cold glimmer, and in the cracks of the stone slabs of the long street, there were occasional dry grass roots swaying in the wind. The night was too quiet, and the wind seemed to bring in the sound of autumn water rising outside the city.
The feather-robed Taoist priest stood silently in the long street, holding the hilt of his sword in his hand.
Gu Qing, who was not far away, saw the hilt of the sword, and the hilt of the sword also emitted a cold glow in the dark night.
The sound of the piano was low and hoarse in such an atmosphere.
Gu Qing even felt a change in his mood.
Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, it is not yet winter, and at this time he feels that the surrounding environment is as dilapidated and gloomy as winter.
Gu Qing carefully experienced the change in mood at this moment, trying to find out how the sound of the piano affected the soul.
"Li Jingfei, aren't you going to unsheath your Ghost Rain Sword yet?"
The luthier's deep voice was like an ice knife and a frost sword.
After Gu Qing heard this, he felt that his ears were not very comfortable.
It turned out that he was Li Jingfei. A thought popped up in Gu Qing's heart. In Gangxiang's memory, the name Li Jingfei appeared, but Gangxiang had never seen this person.
Because although this person is the leader of the second generation of disciples of the Heavenly Peerless Sect, he has always only existed in the idle chatter of the young disciples of the Heavenly Peerless Sect.
Gangxiang only knew that this person was very powerful, and he had obtained the true inheritance of Master Zhong Wudao's swordsmanship.
The peak of a cultivator generally opens after the age of thirty, and Li Jingfei has already crossed this threshold, but Gu Qing is not close to Li Jingfei now, so he can't estimate his specific physical strength.
But when he started to make a move, Gu Qing thought that he could get a lot of information.
The wind seemed to be a little stronger, and Li Jingfei was like a feather floating up, and finally landed on the house lightly.
Gu Qing hid his body, leaving only a little angle to observe the other party.
Li Jingfei's movements fell under Gu Qing's eyes, it seemed that Li Jingfei didn't have much force under his feet, and there were no obvious footprints in Li Jingfei's original position on the long street.
"Light body method?" Gu Qing secretly guessed that this was the heavenly light body method in Gangxiang's memory, but Gangxiang had never learned it.
The body technique is a kung fu that needs to be used in conjunction with the internal qi.
Gu Qing was a little envious when he saw it.
Because Li Jingfei's actions just now have gotten rid of gravity a bit. Flying, this is probably the desire rooted in the blood of people.
At the same time, Gu Qing's gaze fell on another figure that slowly appeared. He was not far from Li Jingfei, sitting cross-legged, with a piano in front of him.
His countenance seemed to be shrouded in a layer of water.
It's hazy and can't really be seen.
Even after a distance, Gu Qing could still feel that layer of water and light had an indescribable mysterious feeling. But Gu Qing still recognized that this was the figure of the blind piano master.
The blind violinist's fingers seem to dissolve into a mist and envelop the strings.
The sound of the wolf-killing piano almost blends with the sound of the wind, indistinguishable from each other. The sound of the wind is the sound of the piano, and the sound of the piano is the sound of the wind.
A drop of sweat fell on the tiles and splashed in all directions.
Gu Qing saw it clearly, it was the sweat that Li Jingfei had fallen.
For him, the sound of the piano, which only creates a dilapidated and gloomy feeling in his heart, obviously has a different meaning to Li Jingfei.
When the second drop of sweat fell, Li was startled.
Gu Qing saw that Li Jingfei suddenly walked behind the blind qinist, the long sword was unsheathed, and it seemed to be filled with phosphorus fire, but there was no passionate sword groan, silent.
The tip of the sword made a graceful trajectory and stabbed into the blind luthier's back.
There was no blood splattered.
Li Jingfei's body involuntarily took a few steps forward, and he almost stepped on the eaves with one foot.
The figure of the blind pianist was shattered like water in Gu Qing's eyes, was that an illusion?
Gu Qing pondered deeply, and then realized that the blind violinist used the sound of the piano to hide his position, and the figure that appeared was the use of light.
If it is daytime, it will be very difficult for him to use this technique, and the blurring of the night will be a favorable condition for this technique, because in this way, the visual perception of light and shadow will be more delicate and profound.
Li Jingfei looked down at the long street.
Gu Qing quietly changed his position, and then he saw the blind violinist.
This position was not changed by chance, but Gu Qing deliberately found it. The illusion created by the blind luthier depends on the environment, from which he can naturally infer his own position.
Everything in the world will have a trace, and even if the trace is covered, another trace will be left.
The truth cannot be completely concealed.
When Gu Qing discovered the location of the blind pianist, Li Jingfei obviously found out as well.
Without hesitation, he swooped down, the tip of his sword seemed to condense the glimmer of light in the night, and the long street became even darker.
Gu Qing struggled to see it, but he felt the wind.
An invisible layer of wind that covered the long street blew cold and stiff people's bodies.
This cold stiffness comes from the sound of the wolf-killing piano.
It was like the end of the climax.
The notes drifted in the wind, as if to bring an end to the battle of the night. It ends with the passing of life.
Gu Qing tried his best to see that in the yin wind, ghosts were floating around Li Jingfei one by one.
The ground on which the blind violinist was exposed even condensed a layer of white frost.
Suddenly, Li Jingfei's long sword trembled sharply.
Thousands of light rains appeared in Gu Qing's sight in an instant, as if the light condensed at the tip of the sword exploded in an instant.
The ghosts were swept away by the rain of light.
Then the light and rain dissipated, and there was no more blind pianist and Li Jingfei on the ground of the long street.
Gu Qing clearly felt that after the final blow, the two of them actually moved away from this place at the same time with a very tacit understanding, going to one east and one west.
Clearly, neither man finished their opponents.
About two quarters of an hour had passed, and Gu Qing had gone to the vicinity of the place where the two had finally separated for another quarter of an hour, convinced that no eyes were paying attention to this area.
Gu Qing walked to the position where the two finally clashed, and observed the traces left on the street by the moonlight.
There were hundreds of fine and dense holes on the bluestone ground, which were obviously left by the rain of light released by Li Jingfei's long sword just now.
Gu Qing touched the hole, and it seemed that he could feel the sharp and unparalleled strength of Shicai.
There were also a few drops of blood next to it.
Gu Qing touched the blood, smelled it, and actually had a little hallucination, there seemed to be a ghost floating around his body, and he quickly dispelled this illusion.
"The blood of the blind luthier?"
Gu Qing made a judgment.
It seems that the ability of the blind violinist is fused into the blood.
"Li Jingfei should have been injured as well. ”
After all, if Li Jingfei was not injured, how could he let go of the blind pianist.
However, Gu Qing found no traces of Li Jingfei's injuries around, indicating that Li Jingfei's injuries were in his body. This is in line with Gu Qing's original image of the blind violinist, who was manipulated by the sound of the blind violinist's heartbeat and died.
The blind violinist's methods kill invisibly.
Li Jingfei's means are directly destructive power visible to the naked eye.
One inside and one outside, but it's hard to say how high it is.
Gu Qing paced back and forth in this area, constantly feeling the battle just now, even if the person left, many details left over from the battle could still be unearthed from the scene.
It wasn't until Gengsheng got closer that Gu Qing chose to leave.
Today's harvest is not small, at least he came to the conclusion that the blind violinist's methods are strange, but the destructive power is still limited.
Moreover, at the last moment of the battle between the two, Gu Qing operated the Wuzhen Method, and was convinced that the Wuqiao Mental Method had a weakening effect on the sound of the blind piano master, plus his own physique far beyond ordinary people, even if he was attacked in his body, he also had a strong resistance ability, which was Gu Qing's advantage in the face of the blind qinist.
On the contrary, Li Jingfei's methods made Gu Qing feel a little trickier.
On the way to leave, Gu Qing repeatedly recalled the sword that Li Jingfei swooped down, this must be Li Jingfei's killing move, Gu Qing hoped to find the weakness of this move, if there was a last resort, he exposed in Jiangcheng that he would mix with the Yuan Tongzigong, and preparing in advance would be able to help him.
