Chapter 70: The Shadow of the Night, Climbing the Wall and Calculating
"Knock—— knock!
There were three gongs on the long street, one long and two short, which was the rhythm of the three watches.
Yin Zhiping was meditating cross-legged on the cloud bed in the room, practicing breathing and breathing, when he heard the sound of the three watches, he opened his eyes suddenly. After getting out of bed, he took off the white robe he was wearing, took off the crown of gold stars on his head, and then changed into a black night robe.
Opening the window, the probe looked left and right, and all he saw was pitch black, and there was no half of a person. Yin Zhiping propped up the window with one hand, jumped out of the window lightly, and then turned back to close the window silently, and then stepped a little and lightly stepped on the roof where he was. After looking at the situation around him again, and after confirming that no one had found it, he performed light skills all the way out of the Longevity Temple.
sneaked out so late at night, he was going to meet Li Mochou. On Zhongnan Mountain, he had already secretly communicated with Li Mochou through the news, he originally decided to go down the mountain with Bai Yuchan after the Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but Li Mochou went down the mountain to Lin'an as early as the fifth day of the first lunar month. It's just that the itinerary he originally planned was delayed again and again, and it was not until now that he arrived in March.
When he first arrived in Lin'an yesterday, he was also quite tired from the journey, so he just rested peacefully that night. On the second night, he couldn't bear the lovesickness anymore and wanted to see Li Mochou.
Standing on a nearby rooftop, he was looking around again and again to check the situation, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure passing quickly. Hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw that about a hundred zhang away from him, a black figure was also moving rapidly on the roof with light skills. That person is very clever in his light exercises, and he is agile. Like a swimming dragon.
Looking at the direction he was heading, he was heading straight for the Imperial Palace. Manshouguan is not far from the Imperial Palace. The man had leapt to the left and was heading towards the palace. Let Yin Zhiping clearly identify the other party's target.
But looking at the light skills performed by the other party at the moment, they were no less than him, which made Yin Zhiping can't help but be curious, what is the intention of such a master sneaking into the palace?
He was wearing a night suit, and just now he was standing still on the roof of the room, almost dissolving with the night. So the man didn't notice him. Although the other party's light skills are not inferior to him, his light skills are not weak at all, and in order to prevent the other party from discovering it, he also got off the ground and walked in the shadows of the houses on the street, so that the other party did not notice it at all.
It wasn't long before the man was under the walls of the palace. The palace is like a city in the city of Lin'an, and the city walls are also built very high. Nor can you jump over. When the man arrived at the foot of the city wall, he stood against the wall and performed the "gecko swimming wall skill", and the "gecko" climbed towards the city like a big gecko.
The walls are leveled. There is no cover, Yin Zhiping is not good to follow immediately, otherwise the other party just needs to look down. You can spot him right away. He hid in the canopy of a large willow tree not far from the city walls, and looked at the man carefully.
Before he had only glanced at it in a hurry. Then he used light skills to follow the street below, only to see the other party's figure flickering. He immediately followed, and he didn't have time to look at the other party carefully. At this time, the man was swimming and climbing the city wall, but he had just had the opportunity to take a closer look.
With his skill at this time, his vision in the dark night is no longer a big problem, and at this time, there is still a faint starlight shining on the night sky, and there are torches lit by the sergeants guarding the palace. Through these lights, you can see more clearly. It's just that at this time, the man is facing the wall and performing the gecko swimming technique, but he can't see his appearance.
Yin Zhiping could only see the other party's back, and the most conspicuous thing was that the person had white hair that was quite obvious in the night. The man did not cover his head and face with a cloth towel, nor did he wear a night suit, but a patched garment of various colors. There is also a pale yellow bamboo pole diagonally inserted behind the waist, and a yellow gourd hangs on the waist. Look at this dress, it's clear that it's an old man.
Seeing this image of an old man, Yin Zhiping couldn't help but move in his heart, and said with a slight frown: "It can't be him?"
When he was suspicious, he was not slow in his hand, and picked a willow leaf from the willow branch beside him. Then he used his fingers to flick this willow leaf out with the technique of "snapping his fingers", and shot towards the wall above the left side of the old manhua who had climbed most of the city wall.
The fluttering and powerless willow leaves, under his internal force, were like a willow leaf flying knife made of fine iron, breaking through the air and making a sharp roar. Although this sound was sharp, it was not too loud, and ordinary people felt that it was a rapid sound of the wind.
But the old man who was climbing the city wall was not an ordinary person, he had walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and had experienced countless battles and encounters countless enemies, as soon as the sound of breaking the air entered his ears, he immediately heard that this was a hidden weapon that shot through the air. Immediately took a deep breath, and suddenly turned over, changing from facing the city wall to leaning against the city wall, and using the internal force of the back to absorb the city wall to prevent it from falling.
Just as he turned over, he saw a green shadow shoot out in front of him. Then there was a soft thud and shot at the wall a little above him, seven or eight feet away. He turned around and took a look, and he judged that the hidden weapon was not aimed at him, but did not move, and did not even blink his eyes. I just watched as the hidden weapon shot at the city wall, but smashed itself into pieces, and at the same time smashed the bricks into a cloud of dust. And in this moment, he had seen that the secret weapon was a freshly picked willow leaf.
Although Yin Zhiping's skills are profound at this time, he has not really reached the point where flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt the enemy. Although this willow leaf can be shot out as a hidden weapon, and it also breaks through the air and roars, the momentum is not small, but in fact, the lethality of the real one is not much. Even if it really hits the human body, it will hurt ordinary people at most, unless it is very close to him, no more than ten steps away, then it may really be a bit lethal. Now this level and distance, it really hit the old scream, and I'm afraid it will make the old screamer itch at most.
But even so, this kind of skill is enough to be proud of today's martial arts. Therefore, when the old man saw that the hidden weapon was just a willow leaf, he couldn't help but change his complexion and show surprise. Then he turned his head to look at the big willow tree that was shooting in the direction of the willow leaves, and as soon as the internal force on his back was loosened, he kicked on the city wall under his feet, and his body jumped straight down from the half of the city wall like a dragon.
The big willow tree where Yin Zhiping was hiding was not too far from the city wall, but five or six zhang Xu, the old man jumped down from half of the city, and this jump came. He jumped in front of the willow tree, and suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Huang hasn't seen me for many years, but he came to talk to me to make such a joke!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly struck at the tree with a palm. This palm strikes, if out of thin air suddenly thunder, the momentum is fierce, not yet solid, the strong wind brought up by the palm has blown the willow leaves "rustling", the wicker swaying. (To be continued......)
