Chapter 1040: Hypocrisy

Old Man Mu was deeply fascinated by the swordsmanship of the dead man, and believed that he had unlocked all the hidden secrets in the sword spectrum, and all that was left was to keep killing, keep improving, and fight back with swordsmanship?

Shangguan Ru's sword to defeat the lotus girl revealed that there is a broader side of the Dead Man's Sutra that is worth exploring, and the old man Mu was on the roof at that time to deal with the Dubu King with all his might, and missed a key scene, and was resigned afterwards, and made up his mind to find out the truth.

"Old man wood. Shangguan Ru tried to calm his voice as much as possible, and did not directly answer the other party's transaction request, "You can not kill anyone, you have been holding on for so long......"

"That's right. Old man Mu knew what she wanted to say, so he interrupted in advance, "Hehe, this time is really difficult, it seems to be back to the time when I was an apprentice, but thank you and the Dragon King, the price paid by the old man is not small, and it is worth the reward." The Book of the Dead, haha, the name is so good, it's just tailor-made for the old man, and it was sent to me through the two of you, just to make me cherish it more. ”

"How did you know that the sword spectrum was hidden in the Boulder Cliff?"

"Hey, good girl, don't play tricks when you're a good person, you haven't said whether you agree to my deal. ”

Shangguan Ru pulled Tie Linglong back a few steps, "Old man Mu, your martial arts are strong enough, and everyone has their own practice methods, even if you know, it's useless." ”

"Is it useful to talk about it then, and I'll ask you if you agree?"

"Well, you have to say it first. ”

The old man let out a series of strange laughs, overpowering the rustle of the leaves in the wind, startling a few birds, "It's really comfortable, this is the laughter of the old man when he is at ease, I really miss it, I think that at the beginning, the people north of the Tianshan Mountains were scared to pee their pants when they heard this sound, but in Biyu City, they could only attract a large group of swordsmen, alas, time has changed, and the old man has to work hard." ”

He sighed, and suddenly jumped down from the branch, and by the cover of the night, disappeared into the grass like a beach, and in the blink of an eye appeared seven paces in front of them, his eyes flashing, like a wild beast that had come out to forage for food at night.

"The good girl wants to know who it is, the dragon king suspects you, isn't it? this is his surname, he always thinks that all mistakes are someone else's, but this time...... It's his fault. ”

may have inadvertently leaked the secret of the Sword Spectrum of the Dead Man's Scripture, which is a piece of Shangguan Ru's heart, but she was often drunk when she was in the country of incense, and she really can't remember which time she said that she leaked, but she just inferred that it was the most likely reason, "Be more detailed." ”

"Hey, hey. Old Man Mu took another step closer and looked up at the night sky, "This is quite a long time ago, remember, when you were in the Land of Incense, you often exchanged letters with the Dragon King." ”

"Hmm. Shangguan Ru remembered that she had also doubted whether it was the content of the letters**, but she clearly remembered that those letters were basically only about official affairs, the situation at sea, how much food was needed, etc., and rarely talked about personal situations.

"At that time, I had figured out the general situation of the Dragon King getting the Book of the Dead, I thought that such a precious sword book, the Dragon King must not be willing to destroy it, after escaping from Jinpeng Castle for two or three years, he even had difficulty saving his life, always followed by the killer, it is estimated that there is no place to hide books, thinking about it, I think that the Dragon King must have left the sword book in Jinpeng Castle. Haha, the old man is still very smart. But Jinpeng Fort is not small, and if I want to search for a sword book, it is tantamount to finding a needle, so I have to narrow the scope, so I wrote a letter to the Dragon King. ”

Shangguan Ru was stunned, "You pretended to be me to write a letter to the Dragon King?"

"That's right. Old Man Mu laughed proudly, "I imitate your handwriting, your tone, of course, I can't directly ask where the dead man's scripture is, I can only pretend to be sad to recall the past." The old man was worried that the dragon king would not reply to the letter, or that the reply would be a nonsense, and in that month, I received letters for the good girl every day, for fear of accidentally missing it. Haha, I really waited for it, the dragon king really didn't coax people, the letter was harder than iron stone, but he still mentioned a few locations, the school, the East Castle, the Seven Killings Palace, and of course, the boulder cliff, finally gave me a hint. As I learned more about the interior of Jinpeng Castle, it was easy to conclude that the location of the book was either the Death Cliff or the Boulder Cliff, and I guessed it right, haha. ”

Shangguan Ru was silent, and Old Man Mu said it very similarly, but he couldn't believe him completely, "What about the letter?"

"Of course it's ruined, the old man walks on thin ice every day, how can he make the mistake of the dragon king? You go and ask the dragon king, he must remember the letter I wrote on your behalf, unless he deliberately concealed it and didn't want to tell the truth. ”

"He wants to sow discord. Tie Linglong reminded in a low voice that she was a bystander and could see more clearly, Old Man Mu's last sentence was obviously implying that the Dragon King deliberately pushed the mistake onto Shangguan Ru.

Old man Mu put his hands behind his back and sighed, but he didn't have any sadness, "Believe it or not, it's impossible for me to keep the letter in my hand anyway, if you want to believe that you are the best, I don't need to stop it, right?"

Shangguan Ru was confused, if Old Man Mu really wrote a letter reminiscing about the past on his behalf, it must be different in all the letters, the Dragon King should have remembered, but he never mentioned it after they met, even when the two were the most intimate, he didn't talk about that letter.

But if she said that she was drunk and lost her words, the more Shangguan Ru recalled, the more unlikely she felt, although she drank well and often got drunk, she never lost her mind, at most she fell asleep, not to mention that when she was in the country of incense, she had a lot of waiters around her, even if she was drunk, she was taken care of by red bats and others, and she had never been alone with the old man Mu.

Shangguan Ru's mind was even more confused, and at this moment, Old Man Mu made a move.

The long sword was extremely uncoordinated on him, but the action of drawing the sword was still like a cloud, and there was no hindrance in the middle, his target was not Shangguan Ru, but Tie Linglong beside her, this was the second time he tried to kill the "little green eye", and he used the Dead Man's Sutra swordsmanship.

Shangguan reacted instinctively, and the dark incense floating shadow cooperated with the centering finger to attack the vital point of the old man Mu.

Tie Linglong has never relaxed her vigilance, drawing a knife in her right hand, but it is the Yin Finger of her left hand that attacks.

The old man then retreated, the dead man was attacked and defended by swordsmanship, but he had spare strength, and climbed another tree quickly like a squirrel, condescendingly, first laughing, and then sighing, "Alas, it didn't work, I wanted to see the good girl's unique swordsmanship - you are really careful enough, aren't you afraid that I will stab the little green eye to death with a sword?"

Old Man Mu used a plausible Dead Man's Scripture Sword Technique, hoping to induce Shangguan Ru to also block with the Dead Man's Scripture Sword Technique, but he failed to do so.

Tie Linglong's face turned red, she was being used, and her yin fingers didn't touch a single hair of the other party.

"You're missing a murderous aura. Shangguan Ru said lightly, although she was only given a moment to react, she still accurately judged Old Man Mu's deception.

"Haha, good girls aren't as easy to deceive as they used to be, it's really boring. ”

"Hmph, that's why I don't want to make a deal with you, and I won't believe your words, you're a liar, not a word of truth. ”

"Wrong. Old man Mu was stern, "The more liars are, the more they must tell the truth, otherwise how can they deceive trust?" It is children and fools who are full of lies, and we are also acquaintances, for so long, am I telling more truths or more lies?"

Shangguan Ru knew that this question was a trap, so he didn't answer, "Because of the sword you just had, our deal fell through." ”

"Shhhh Old man Mu exaggeratedly wiped the beads of sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, "Okay, it's my fault, count me as a vain move, but I still have a trick, hehe, the transaction can continue." ”

Old Man Mu claimed that he knew the tricks that the Dragon King and the Dubu King had to use when they competed, and he had stepped on two boats for a long time, so it seemed that there was a possibility, but Shangguan Ru shook his head, "I don't need you for this matter, I have my own way." ”

The first rays of morning light appeared in the sky, and the figure of the old man Mu standing on the branch became clearer and clearer, and Shangguan Ru and Tie Linglong could even see his expression when he was smiling.

"Good girl has her own way?well, let me guess......" Old Man Mu stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the trunk of the tree, making a meditative gesture, "You won't kill yourself in front of the Dragon King and the Dubu King tonight, will you?"

Shangguan didn't squeak, Tie Linglong looked at her in surprise, "Why do you want to commit suicide?"

"I'm not going to kill myself. Shangguan Ru said softly, but his expression was very serious.

Old Man Mu laughed again, "Yes, yes, suicide is too stupid, of course a good girl won't do it, I'm kidding." In fact, your idea is very simple, you feel that Jinpeng Fort is not worthy of ruling Biyu City, and the governance of Long Chuanyun during this period of time is very much in line with your heart, but you don't want your biological father to die because of this. So there is only one way, that is, you defeat the Dubu King, let the Dragon King win without a fight, but things don't go your way, the Central Plains people have to let you fight against the Dragon King, you have to withdraw from the competition, and the dead man's swordsmanship actually has little to do with it. Am I right?"

Shangguan Ru nodded reluctantly, she never thought of preventing the Dragon King from seizing the position of City Lord from the beginning, in her opinion, anyone was more qualified to rule Biyu City than Jinpeng Castle, but it was such a little idea, Old Man Mu could see it clearly, but the Dragon King couldn't understand it.

Shangguan Ru suddenly woke up to the fact that she and the Dragon King didn't seem to have been honest with each other since the day they met, and there was always a secret hidden by one party.

"But how can you defeat the Dubu King?" the old man knocked back and forth on the trunk of the tree, "Your set of wooden knife techniques has a miraculous effect on the dead, but it may not be possible to change the martial arts, and it is almost impossible to use it to defeat the Dubu King...... The good girl has only one choice left - to challenge her father and persuade her to die. ”

Tie Linglong once again cast a surprised gaze, although Shangguan Ru's expression did not change much, she had a feeling that Old Man Mu had guessed correctly this time, at least very closely.

Old man Mu suddenly looked behind the two of them, and clapped his hands, "Great, it's finally here, good girl, we don't have to make a deal anymore, your dead man's sword technique, you can't use it if you want to." ”

Shangguan Ru and Tie Linglong turned around at the same time, and found that there was actually a person standing ten steps behind them, and none of them heard the sound of approaching.

The Dutch girl was looking at the two of them coldly.
