Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Shadow of the Secret Vault
The Moon Vault was at the back of the inner sanctum, a long hallway, with the knife following the waning moon and the other two guards following the knife. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Soon they came to the end of the promenade, in front of which was a cliff, connected only by a slender natural stone bridge more than ten zhang long and more than a man wide, and on the opposite side there were several steps that winded upward, from which they could faintly see that a stone gate had been built at the end of the staircase.
Xiaodao didn't expect that there were cliffs in the deep valley, dozens of zhang up are mountain peaks, and down dozens of zhang are cliffs.
"Is the vault inside the stone door on the other side?" asked Knife.
"Yes, but usually there are guards standing here and across the street. Wanyue said.
"But we didn't see it. Knife said.
"That means someone has forced their way through the road. Wanyue said.
"Is there any other way to this place than the road we just walked on? Knife asked.
Wanyue didn't answer, but silently stepped onto the stone bridge.
The night wind is strong and even stronger at high altitudes.
The knife followed behind the waning moon, this road is really not easy to walk, only the bridge head and the opposite side are each four lampposts illuminated, in the middle of the bridge is basically pitch black, it has just rained, this bridge is even more slippery.
The dark valley, I don't know how deep it was in this dark night, the knife glanced down, and there was a dizziness in front of him, and the darkness seemed to be spreading upwards, as if it was about to engulf him.
"Don't look down!" Wanyue seemed to know the situation of the knife, and suddenly said a word, and this sentence just saved the knife and took him out of the darkness.
Their pace was not fast, nor did they dare to go too fast, not only was the wind strong, but the stone bridge under their feet was not very strong, and from time to time some small stones fell into the deep valley with their feet, stirring up a small deep echo.
Suddenly, the sound of bowstrings pierced the night sky, and several sharp arrows were fired at them.
If anyone is not startled at this time, then he is probably not human.
The knife is human, so he was naturally scared, and who would not be frightened when walking on such a stone bridge.
But the knife is not an ordinary person, although he was surprised, but his hand was very calm, because the lights around him were very dim, and the other party must not be able to see their figures, only knew that someone was coming, walking in the middle of the bridge, and shot two arrows at random in the middle of the bigger purpose was to make the person fall into the abyss in fright.
So the sudden attack at this moment is not terrible, and it is really terrible if you can't calm down. Fortunately, the knife is extremely talented, when Luzhou Chengshi Yunkaishi taught the skills of penetrating the ear, it seems to be practicing for nearly a month, and it has made great progress, and the arrows shot out indiscriminately do not pose a threat at all, even if one or two arrows are shot in the direction, the knife has already been judged early by the sound, and with a wave of his hand, the arrow has been bounced away.
Then the other two dark guards who followed behind were not so lucky, and after three or five arrows, they were already in a mess, and their steps were unsteady and fell into the abyss.
Seeing that it was about to come to an end, Wanyue shouted loudly, "You can skip it." Then a leap jumped in the direction where the arrow had come from. The knife hurriedly followed, and he jumped out with a jump.
The two people in front of them were wearing hats, black suits, gray robes, single knives hanging from their waists, and crossbow arrows.
"Who are you who dare to break into my moon vault? Wanyue asked, pointing her sword at the two.
The two men did not answer, but flicked their crossbow arrows, drew their knives, and ran towards the knife and the waning moon respectively.
The knife flashed, and the knife had already slashed in front of the knife.
What a fast knife!
The knife stood and moved, and did not draw it, but waved its palm at it.
But as soon as the palm wind and the back of the knife met, this seemingly immobile figure was like a sea of clouds churning, and waves came layer upon layer, and a burst of broken bones came from the person's body.
During this period, the man's knife posture did not change in the slightest, and if it seemed to others that it was a slash in the air, he fell to the ground with a "bang" and softened into a puddle of mud.
The knife has eliminated the enemy in front of him in an instant, and then looks in the direction of the waning moon.
The waning moon sword technique is smart, the body is light and smart, and after each move, there are changes in moves, and then look at the man's solid steps, each move is extremely simple, but there is a bit of a board and a glance, five moves after a straight stab, suddenly turned to change the move, and stabbed the person in the lower abdomen, and then took advantage of the situation, and the person was kicked off the abyss.
Knife smiled and asked, "Can you tell where they came from?" ”
"But where can you see three or five tricks!" Wanyue still didn't smile.
"It's really boring, although it's only three or five moves, but looking at their footwork and knife swinging techniques, they don't look like ordinary Jianghu people, but a bit like military people. Knife said.
"What do you mean?" Wanyue thought for a moment, as if she had thought of something.
"Jin Yiwei!" said Knife and Wanyue at the same time.
"If that's what we think, do we have to go up here?" Knife asked.
"Even if it's a brocade guard, you have to explain it when you sneak to someone else's house. What's more, they are all dressed in civilian clothes, and even the weapons they use are not original, they must be trying to deliberately conceal their identities, even if they are killed, no one will dare to stand up and blame us. Wanyue said.
"Then go ahead. How do you get there?" Knife said with a sigh.
After walking up a flight of steps, and then stepping on a flight of steps, the steps are not as clean as they were just now.
There were eight corpses along the way, and the knife carefully examined each of them, then stood up straight and pondered.
Wanyue looked at the knife and asked, "What did you find?"
"As far as I can see, these men are dead. Knife said.
"You!!nonsense!" Remnant Moon Qi's face flushed slightly.
"There are five bodies dressed in the same way as just now, and judging from their wounds, it should be caused by two groups of infighting. Knife continued.
"Is there a deeper discovery?" asked Wanyue.
"Among the five corpses, the wound of one corpse was slender and thin, and the wounds were all in the throat, armpits, and lower body. The knife walked over to the corpse in a gray robe, "Looking at his face, his face is dark, his eyebrows and eyes are triangular, his cheekbones are protruding, and his mouth is pointed with a small goatee, and he looks like a vicious and cruel person, so he must have done it." Knife said.
"Okay, okay, you don't need to say more, are you looking at your face or checking your identity?"
"Or do you have a better way?" asked Knife.
"This person is Yang Rui, a thief in Longxi, who not only plunders people's property, but also slaughters the whole family, and the throat cutting sword with one hand is extremely vicious. This person is Hu Daqian, a Shaolin outcast, after returning to the vulgar, he relied on his kung fu to rob the house and run rampant in Longxi, this person is Yang Sheng, Yang Rui's nephew, and the three of them are the three evils of Longxi. Wanyue said.
Xiaodao's eyes widened, and he said, "It's amazing, it turns out that you know all these people." ”
"These men are the most vicious and unfaithful men, but the one who can recruit them here is even more insignificant. ”
"Can I leave now. Knife said with a smile.
Suddenly, six people jumped out at both ends of the stairs, and the two people before and the five corpses on the ground were all dressed in the same costume, surrounding them in the middle, it seemed that there was no need for the waning moon to answer, and the knife already knew the answer.
