The moon was almost past the middle of the sky, and the black clouds that had just obscured the near-full moon slowly swam away again, heading towards the sea of stars.

Kyaukjie Binghua once again landed on this quiet path.

A man in a black cloak pushed open the door of the Herring Fish Pavilion.

Candlelight flickered inside the door, reflecting the rows of books on the shelves.

The cool breeze brought by the comer made the still shadow shake suddenly, but finally gradually regained its calm with the light sound of the creak.

"What was the sound outside the door. An old man sitting in the pavilion slowly opened his eyes.

"Who are you?"

Xia Ren was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Oh, just now there was an intruder who tried to break into the pavilion in vain, and the senior brother used his internal force to seriously injure him, and now he is chasing him." At the time of parting, I happened to be there, and I was instructed to take my place. ”

The old man sneered: "I'm afraid not, you're the one who invaded, right?"

Xia Ren didn't take off his hood, untied the tie at the collar of his cloak, revealing the green shirt in it, and said, "How could it be, I am just a person who distinguishes between families, and I am very young, how can I be the opponent of my senior brother? Besides, if it wasn't for my senior brother's permission, how could I have entered this high-end and atmospheric Qingyu Pavilion?"

When the old man saw that the clothes were the style of the people who separated the family, he snorted coldly and said, "The servants who distinguish the family also dare to enter? ”

"Take your hood off!"

Xia Ren gasped and said, "Don't dare." Next... I just want to have the opportunity to go inside and take a look at the books in the pavilion. ”

"This is not the place for you to come in, get out of here. ”

Seeing that the young man who didn't know what to do was still lying in front of the door, the old man said coldly: "Okay! Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, which is somewhat similar to when I was young." For the sake of this, I'll give you a chance. ”

"If you can take my palm without vomiting blood, I will allow you to stay here for three hours. ”

"Of course, there is only one chance, if not, you will spurt blood, and you will have to get out of here. ”

"The old man's internal strength has been reached for thirty years, although it has not been purified to pure internal force, but it is also a profound skill, and this palm, I will use fifty percent of my strength!"

"You only get one chance, have you ever thought about it?"

Xia Ren nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, there aren't many people like you who have the guts to split up the family. ”

"Come, use all your skills and fight with the old man!"

"When I saw you, I thought of myself. ”

The old man stroked his long beard, showing a look of relief, of course, he didn't really want to give this young man a chance, even if half of his skills, it was far from what this kid could follow.

When a person is old, he will remember the past, and he happened to see his own shadow in this young man, and that's it.

"Come on, use all your 100% strength, and let the old man weigh you!"

"Don't be timid, even if you are injured and fail, you have at least the courage to make a move!"

"Use all your strength to attack it!"

The old man let out a loud shout.

A strong qi was carried in his hand, and the air became fluid, which made the candlelight shimmer, and the figure of the old man was also raised a few points at the same time.

"Do you really want to use all my strength? can you use half of it?" Xia Ren showed a strange smile.

"Young man, you are looking for death!" When the old man heard this slightly mocking voice, he immediately stopped holding his hand and used his internal strength.

Looking at the young man in front of him, he slowly pushed his hand over.

"It's too slow!" the old man sneered.

The next moment, there was another explosion.

The old man was no longer there, and the air was filled with a mist of blood.

It's so brutal...

I've only used half of my strength...

Xia Ren shook his head, he closed his eyes and listened carefully, and after confirming that there was no one in the pavilion, he began to flip through the books on the shelves casually.

The books on the first floor are all skill-type exercises in terms of moves, and he flipped through them roughly, although he was dazzled by them, but he felt that they were all fancy shelves, and they were very empty.

He got up and walked to the second floor.

The space on the second floor is still spacious, but the collection of books is more than ten times less.

Xia Ren randomly took out a book called "Quanshi Heart Method", which seemed to be an internal strength heart method.

Turning the first page, I saw that it was written on the paper: gold loses its sharpness, it can be complete, it is very easy to fold, and Xiumu is easy to destroy, so be cautious.

"Hmm... The first sentence of this opening paragraph reminded him of reading a Chinese textbook in his previous life, and naturally, his fingers moved slightly, and he turned another page.

The second page is blank!

"What's going on?" Xia Ren was stunned for a moment, and turned a few more pages, only to see that there was all white paper behind it.

No, not a blank slate!

His keen five senses could perceive that there seemed to be a faint layer of special material on the white paper, and because of this layer of covering, the font was hidden.

I smeared some saliva and wiped it on the page, but it still didn't work.

He tried to tear off the small half corner from the edge of the booklet, trying in vain to find some gaps, but still failed.

"Sure enough, martial arts such as the internal strength and heart method are all very tightly hidden. Xia Ren was a little disappointed in his heart, and continued to flip through a few more mental methods, and the situation was all similar.

"Hmm... There was no choice but to pack. Xia Ren nodded, grabbed a dozen internal strength methods from the shelf at random, and walked downstairs.

When he stepped on the first staircase, it was as if something had been triggered.

Suddenly, there was a shrill alarm in the attic.

Xia Ren was startled, hurriedly took a step back, and suddenly the warning sound disappeared again.

And this technique?

He didn't believe in evil, so he tore off the cover of a book of internal strength and mental methods, and threw the blank paper in it to the stairs.

Drip, drip!

The alarm sounded again.

After a few more experiments, he finally confirmed that each page of the exercise could not bring out the second layer, otherwise the warning would not stop.

Not long after, more than a dozen sword-wielding figures swept out of the attic not far away, galloping towards the herring fish pavilion.

At the same time, a deep voice sounded: "I don't know which one visited the Xia family at night, please show up, if you are a friend, the Xia family must treat each other with courtesy." ”

Xia Ren didn't respond, he directly wrapped his black cloak and jumped down from the window.

From memory, walk through the flower beds and among the bushes on one side of the trail.

Feeling the approach of the footsteps, Xia Ren naturally carried a little internal force.

Originally, in his mind, he had more than a thousand years of internal strength, his body was like a wind, and it was trivial to pull out the afterimage.

But when it comes to implementation, I find that it's not so easy...

He had only just walked a few hundred meters when he accidentally leaked a trace of internal force from his feet.

This may not matter to others at all, but you must know that Xia Ren has mentioned two hundred years of skill at this time to walk through the shadows.

Rumble!

The hard rock path beneath his feet made a loud noise, and the white smoke cleared, revealing holes the size of a human head.

The loud bang was like thunder in the darkness, and it could no longer be concealed.
