Chapter 346: Shikigami
Wu Ming's sword attacked, and the two sword lights were like thunder and lightning, and they went straight to the assassin on the opposite side, but the black-clothed assassin seemed to be unaware, standing quietly in place and motionless.
There was a soft pop and a sword light pierced through the assassin's chest without hindrance, but there was not a trace of blood.
Wu Ming sighed, the feeling of the flying sword penetrating the assassin's body was very strange, as if the other party was not flesh and blood.
"Your flying sword is useless to me, if you know the times, you can step back. ”
The man in black stood in place, his voice still grim and hoarse, and he didn't look hurt.
Wu Ming waved his hand, recalled Hanguang Chengying back to his hand and waited for the opportunity, and then took a step to the side, naturally stopping between the assassin and Princess Chaoyun to prevent the other party from suddenly attacking.
Unexpectedly, Princess Chaoyun's voice sounded from behind: "You get out of the way, I have to ask him something." ”
Wu Ming pursed his lips and took another step to the side, letting go of Princess Chaoyun behind him.
Princess Chaoyun stood on the ground without fear, looking at the assassin at the gate of the courtyard: "Who sent you?"
The assassin laughed hoarsely, "It doesn't matter, you just need to know that I'm from the Imperial City." ”
Wu Ming frowned, although the assassin in front of him was also dressed in black, he always felt that there was a subtle difference from the assassin in the Chengtian Temple before.
When he was at the Temple of Heaven, the assassin used a flying sword, but the assassin in front of him kept his hands empty-handed, and although he was murderous, he never made a move, but chattered here endlessly.
Doesn't he understand how the villain died in words.
"You're from the Imperial City......"
Princess Chaoyun repeated it and continued to speak: "It shouldn't be my father, since he has already ordered me to go to the Western Regions, there is no reason to send another killer." ”
"It shouldn't be the royal brother, they are all busy winning the heir, and they don't have time to pay attention to my unpleasant sister......"
Just as Princess Chaoyun was talking to herself, the assassin on the opposite side suddenly spoke: "Wouldn't it be better if this kind of thing is not clear, and die in a daze, without trouble." ”
Wu Ming snorted: "You assassin can't help but talk a lot, watch me smash your mouth." ”
"Wait!"
The assassin suddenly raised his hand and stopped Wu Ming, who was about to act.
"You are an outsider, the matter here has nothing to do with you, Princess Chaoyun is just a forgotten person by the royal family, and it is not good for you to help her. ”
Wu Ming sighed: "Then what should I do to benefit me?"
The assassin's eyes flashed: "Your swordsmanship is very powerful, serve us, whether it is ten thousand taels of gold, or a marquis and general, it is just around the corner!"
Wu Ming nodded: "This condition is really generous, you won't lie to me, right?"
Princess Chaoyun's face changed slightly, and she looked at Wu Ming's back and moved her lips, but she didn't say anything.
Wu Ming really doesn't have a reason to help himself, not to mention the condition of 10,000 taels of gold and cutting the land and sealing the king, how many people in the world can refuse?
The assassin chuckled a few times: "If the form changes greatly today, Wang Mang is like the sky, it is the time for you and me to show their talents, why give up the great opportunity for an irrelevant person to live in a corner?"
Wu Ming sighed: "As a monk, you have entered the outer realm of spiritual objects, and you still covet the prosperity of the world?"
The assassin snorted lightly: "There is no hope of ascending to immortal in this world, why not rely on your skills to be happy." ”
Wu Ming nodded: "I see, it seems that your vision is really low." ”
The assassin was stunned: "My vision is too low?"
"Not bad. ”
Wu Ming waved his hand, and the black and white sword rays flew up again, circling around him.
"You are the one who dwells in a corner, coveting the glory in front of you. My world is much bigger than you think, and the glory and wealth of this corner of the world is too small for me. ”
Then, with a wave of his hands, Wu Ming brought the sound of the wind whistling with light and shadow, and went straight to the assassin.
"Since you're not afraid of flying swords, I'll cut you to pieces. ”
Wu Ming manipulated the flying sword to dance in the cold light of the sky, and the sound of popping was endless, and in a moment, he really cut the assassin in front of him into crumbs.
Black crumbs fell one after another, Wu Ming reached out and grabbed a corner, took it to the front and looked at it carefully, it turned out to be a black piece of paper.
"Sure enough...... Is this Shikigami?"
Wu Ming had already noticed that this assassin had not moved his hands all along, and he was obviously a little strong and middle-handed, but at this moment he finally confirmed that this was just a dummy made by Shikami.
Wu Ming once saw the style god of the Queen Mother of the West, and also saw the Yellow Turban wrestler of Kunlun Mountain, although the mystery is different, but they all condense the spiritual power on the talisman and turn it into a living thing.
But Shikigami, who can speak and move vividly, is really the first time he's seen it.
In particular, this paper figure can also release the spiritual pressure of the real one, which can really be called ingenious.
Wu Ming waved his hand, threw the black piece of paper into the air, and then looked at the back of the courtyard gate: "Daoist Zongyun, is this your style god?"
Princess Chaoyun in the back was suddenly shocked, this assassin was pretended to be a god of Zongyun Dao?
There was silence for a moment in the darkness outside the courtyard gate, and then a gentle cough sounded, and the emaciated Zong Yun Dao Chang slowly stepped into the courtyard gate and bowed to the ground towards Princess Chaoyun.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the old minister's style god disturbed your meditation, and the sin deserves death!"
"It's really you, adult. ”
Princess Chaoyun looked puzzled and looked at Daoist Zongyun: "My lord, what do you mean by this?"
Daoist Zongyun raised his head: "Old minister, this is all to test Wu Gongzi to see if he can be qualified for the important task of the princess's guard." ”
Princess Chaoyun was taken aback: "Let him be my guard, but he ......"
Princess Chaoyun originally wanted to refuse directly, but in the middle of speaking, she swallowed back her own words, and when Wu Ming stepped forward to stop in front of the assassin just now, she did feel a little relieved.
Daoist Zongyun saw Princess Chaoyun's expression in his eyes, smiled silently, squatted down and gently patted Qiu Shen and Liyue who were lying on the ground.
Qiu Shen and Liyue snorted a few times, and then opened their confused eyes.
"We ...... Asleep?"
Liyue sat up and looked around: "Lord Taichangqing, why are you here too, didn't you say that as long as we bring Wu Ming here?"
Wu Ming in the back couldn't help but slander, it turned out that this old man was the ghost!
He asked Liyue to bring him to Yaotai, and used Shishen to disguise himself as an assassin and perform an assassination scene, what a drama spirit!
Daoist Zong Yun smiled and shook his head: "The two of you are here to accompany Her Royal Highness the princess to continue fasting. ”
Then he stood up and looked at Wu Ming: "Young Master Wu, Her Royal Highness the princess still needs to prepare for tomorrow's festival, let's not disturb her, let's go outside and talk." ”
"Good. ”
Wu Ming nodded, he also had something to ask this old man.
