Chapter 54: The Depths of the Dagger
"What a coincidence," Li Zhan said to me, "you are just like me." ”
His tone was smiling, and his eyes were unwavering. The air was strangely silent.
I opened my iron fingers in my left hand and looked straight at him. The first time I saw him in Green Shadow Blue Sea Lane, I guessed that he also practiced dark martial arts, I thought it was an illusion, it turned out, it wasn't.
"This face of yours looks unfamiliar, so it's better to get closer and look closely. Before Li Zhan's words fell, a murderous aura suddenly ignited on his body, burning towards me, and he had a four-clawed iron hook between his fingers, and he made a move.
Thankfully, I've seen him act when he thinks about it.
Tilt your head to avoid his surprise attack. However, those who practice dark martial arts react as swiftly as a beast and attack as swiftly as a beast. The four-clawed iron hooks in Li Zhan's hands were his beast claws, the beast claws brushed past my cheeks, and at the same time he was alive under his feet, and the body that had been missed bounced back in a blink of an eye and appeared in front of my eyes again.
People rarely come into close contact with predators, such as wolves, tigers and leopards, and rarely have the opportunity to observe venomous creatures that move at an astonishing speed, such as various venomous snakes. Cats, on the other hand, are very common, and although they are small and rarely cause hurricanes and waves, there is a consensus that cats are difficult to catch. They are fast and responsive, and cats with higher IQs can change paths and escape patterns.
The current Li Zhan can be seen as a fierce and powerful big cat. If I was just defending, I would have lost to him, because he was aggressive and was always on my side. What's more, the increasingly dense murderous aura on his body was like a form, scorching me hot.
It is very difficult to successfully cultivate the dark martial arts and reach the realm of consciousness like mine, not only is it demanding on the physical fitness of the cultivator, but it is also necessary to prepare and test the auxiliary internal and external medicines many times before they can be accurately grasped. Many years ago, Madame Muxiang decided to let me practice the art of darkness, and her medical skills were among the best in the world, but she still searched for information extensively, and carefully selected a few members on the rivers and lakes to form a dark project team.
Lady Mu Xiang's mind is unmatched, her ability to move and organize is superb, and I once believed that I was the only special dark cultivator in the rivers and lakes. Today, however, another particular exception has been discovered.
Li Zhan's iron claws grabbed the mask off my face, and while angering me, it also reminded me of a person: the monk Wuji. Monk Wuji came and went freely in the Prince's Mansion, obviously having a different relationship with Li Zhan. Monk Wuji's wife is none other than one of the members of the Dark Project team, Yingu.
The sky and the river fall, the clouds and immortals surround, the earth flames burn the cold pool ice, and it is a person or a ghost. She participated in my refining, so what did she do in his refining? So, what did Yingu die for?
Blue flames burned in my eyes, and a second before Li Zhan's iron claws were about to cut through my human skin mask, my head turned to the left, and I lowered my head to draw an arc, and my entire upper body stopped on the right side again. Tap your left foot on the ground, centering on the position of your left foot before you leave the ground, and fly to the side flip. The fingertips of the iron jacket of his left hand were used as the tip of the knife, and slashed across his neck.
This is the one I use most skillfully, and it can be done in the blink of an eye. Therefore, even if Li Zhan's reaction was as fast as mine, a thin mark was shallow cut on his neck, and red blood beads soon oozed out.
The yellow flame in Li Zhan's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he spoke, "Very good, you can actually succeed." ”
"I am a sharp weapon, and the life of the people in the house does not mean anything to me," his tone was really flat, and he said, "You go, it is rare to feel sorry for each other, if you die, there is only one left in the world, it would be a pity." ”
He didn't say anything against his will. I can understand what he said about "sympathy" because I feel the same way. On the other hand, I also understand that the Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded, and as long as I am discovered, it is impossible to leave without harm.
I didn't be polite to him, I got up and left. There was really no movement behind him, only a soft sigh was heard from him: "How can a human skin mask be worthy of your blue flame." ”
Others are femme fatales, and his eyes are snake eyes. No, the snake's eyesight is extremely poor, how can it be like him?
The ugly time has not passed, and although the night is not the thickest, it is the quietest.
Compared with the guards of the Yun Mansion and the guards of the Prince's Mansion, the number is very small, but the martial arts are much stronger. However, in front of my advanced Snow Wolf Secrets, it is nothing.
I thought of myself as a nocturnal ghost, avoiding the eyes and ears of everywhere, and appeared by the lotus pond in the house.
More than a month ago, on the sixteenth day of the lotus month, I secretly followed the greenstone Five Elements of the Northern Qi Mountain Villa to break into the Cloud Mansion at night, but I alarmed Yun Yuelang and the stone group, and successfully escaped from the pool water in the secret room, but at the last moment, I was hit by Yun Qinglin's highly poisonous silver needle and fell unconscious to the ground.
I carry a dagger with me, small and slender, but also tough and sharp. There is a "blue" word engraved on it. I have known since I was a child that this dagger is my life-saving weapon, and I will not let anyone else see it except myself.
The killers of the Seven Kills were well-trained, and I was about to faint, but I knew there was still something to be done. The close-fitting dagger was plunged into the ground by the pool as it hit the ground.
I remembered its position that day, so without hesitation, the iron finger sleeve of my left hand was straight into the soil, and I pulled out the dagger, and my wrist used internal force to knock down the dirt on the dagger, and inserted it into the knife position on my lower leg, erasing the marks on the ground. The whole process is done in one go.
Leaving the Cloud Mansion, he walked through several courtyards and changed into another night suit in an uninhabited dark room. took off the human skin mask on his face, changed his route again, and returned to the Yishui Pavilion in Yunfu.
When I lie in bed, I am more than halfway through the bed.
The snow wolf's secret recipe has been boiling the world in the body, so it is not sleepy. I recalled Li Zhan's eyes, which were as pale as snakes, perhaps the result of cultivating dark martial arts. Although he is from the Prince's Mansion, I can't help but be a little happy: it turns out that I am not the only one in the rivers and lakes.
There was a light cough in the room, and someone said, "I heard that you can't drown, you have something to look for me?"
I was not surprised to hear this, for I heard him come in. I was still lying on the bed with my hands behind my head and saying, "So dedicated, still on duty at night?"
The ruthless sword approached the back window, pushed the window open, and began to chat, saying: "I haven't heard the term 'drowned' for a long time, someone has a very bad water nature, but she is very lucky, either someone rescued her, or she was disgusted by the water and spit out. Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, someone has been avoiding water. What, who saved me recently?"
The "someone" that Ruthless Sword said was of course me, and he watched quietly almost every time he escaped death underwater, and he took the title "drowning".
"Of course I was saved. "I jumped out of bed, flipped over the two teacups on the table, and poured us a cup of tea.
"Cold tea, worthy of my ruthless sword. The Ruthless Sword glanced at the cup of tea and drank it all.
"How did you find the darkroom where you changed your costume halfway?" asked the Ruthless Sword.
He was referring to the dark room where I took the dagger from Yunfu and left the mansion and changed into the previous set of night clothes and human skin masks.
"Ruthless Sword, you're so smart. That's where I stumbled upon it, and it was originally a place where books were stored, but unfortunately the house suddenly changed owners, and no one else knew about it. I replied.
The ruthless sword asked again: "Tonight's operation, it went well?"
I sighed in my heart, guessing that Lady Mu Xiang had calculated the time for my action, and the Ruthless Sword might have been sent to supervise and assist on the side, so did Li Zhan's dark cultivation also be discovered? Originally, I wanted to just ignore his matter quietly.
"You've been around?" I asked directly.
Ruthless Sword shook his head and said, "This time it's your own action, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
His answer surprised me again, and I thought: Could it be that Mrs. Mu Xiang already knew? Li Zhan is the reason why she arranged this task for me?
"Smooth, no danger. I summed it up truthfully.
Ruthless Sword nodded and said, "It's good that the mission is complete." ”
But I was worried that he would meet Li Zhan in the future, the dark martial arts were dangerous after all, and he should not be unprepared, so he added: "If you meet people from the Prince's Mansion in the future, you should be more careful, there are people in the Mansion who have cultivated the Dark Arts." ”
Ruthless Sword was obviously not surprised when he heard this, and he replied: "The Underworld Battalion is the force trained by the Prince's Mansion, and they have been secretly studying the art of darkness, so this task will be completed by you. ”
I see, then Li Zhan is a successful experiment?
"To get back to the point, if you can't drown thousands of miles to find me, what is the matter?" said the ruthless sword.
He didn't say it, I almost forgot about it, smiled slightly, and sold it: "Tomorrow at noon, see you at the Womengxuan Tea House in Green Shadow Bihai Lane." ”
The Ruthless Sword shook his head, and with a gust of wind blowing in his face, he stepped away.
I can't drown, who has saved me recently? I was saved by Li Zhan once, and I was saved by Lord Yew once.
It's a pity that Lord Yew has already left Green Shadow Blue Sea Lane. When is it to say goodbye to him?
Today is the twentieth day of the first lunar month, and there are still ten days before the first day of the first month of Gui.
The osmanthus is about to bloom.
Lying back on the bed, I didn't expect to fall asleep quickly, and I had a dream in which I smelled the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.
The night is getting dark, and the lights are on.
The quaint courtyard is located in front of you, and you can still hear the singing and dancing and the laughter of people not far away.
Pushing open the gate, the courtyard was quiet, except for a few clusters of lights flashing in the corner.
Walking in further, I pushed open the door of the house, there were no guards, three small lights separated by three small lights, and they were placed on the stairs on the side.
Walking up the stairs, you can faintly hear the sound of conversation.
Gradually, walking into the deep room, the footsteps were soft, but the door was highly agile and opened.
The light spilled out, and three streams of air rushed out of the room at the same time.
The sleeves of the coat danced suddenly, and a cyclone instantly appeared in the air, and the hearts of the three air currents, the silver needles, were absorbed and frozen in the air.
A slender hand gracefully turned in front of the cyclone, and with a flick of it, the three silver needles seemed to be pushed out by a huge force, flashing in the direction they came.
Stepping into the room, the door slowly closes.
Su Yi is estimated to have put on his most formal and personal charm clothes today, he changed his usual informal attitude, got up from the seat respectfully but confidently, and said to the visitor: "My lord, I haven't seen you for many days, and I admire your skills again." ”
"Master Sumen is polite, please take a seat, I'm here to bother again. ”
"See your lord!"
Hanging their heads stood two equally dressed but masked women, one in orange and the other in yellow.
Dressed in a long purple robe and a golden mask on his face, he walked past them, came to the main seat and sat down, and said lightly, "Take your seats." ”
Su Yi took the lead and sat down, followed by the women in orange and yellow.
The purple-shirted man suddenly sighed: "Night, lights, small candles, unfortunately, Xiao Lan'er is not there." ”
Suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the top of the window curtain, and shouted four words in his head: Lord Yew.
I dreamed of Yew-sama a few times, and this time it was so real, this is something that had happened before?However, Yew-sama said that I was not there. Or is it the recent advanced Snow Wolf Secret that is starting to mess with my memory?
