Chapter 88: Entering the Divine Sword Hall at Night
Chapter 88: Entering the Divine Sword Hall at Night
"Show mercy?"
The elder sister glanced at the Five Tigers:
"Why? He already stabbed me, why can't I kill him?"
"Isn't it because you provoked me first?"
The third of the Five Swordsmen, Wei Ming, the Tiger with Sword in His Hand, spoke angrily.
However, the leader, Lu Zhi, waved his hand slightly and looked up at the sister:
"Girl, it was my brother who was rash and offended you.
"Lü Zhi is here to apologize to the young lady, please don't bother with him."
"Hmm."
My sister nodded repeatedly:
"Sister, what he said makes sense! You are a magnanimous person, so why don't we just ignore them?"
"you're so dumb."
The elder sister couldn't help but slapped her younger sister on the head:
"Have you forgotten what we just talked about?"
"Oh, yes, yes."
My sister nodded repeatedly:
"I almost forgot about the main thing."
The Five Tigers with Swords looked at each other and could see the meaning in each other's eyes.
These two girls...seem to have other intentions.
Lu Zhi hesitated and said:
"Do the two girls need help from us brothers?
"As long as the girl shows mercy, everything will be fine."
My sister's eyes lit up:
"Okay, since you said so, then you should kowtow to me and worship me as your big brother. From today on, we two sisters will be your bosses!"
"what?"
Lu Zhi was stunned. What does this mean?
After hanging around in the underworld for several years, his name is still not that well-known, but he is instead taken in by two young girls?
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a lot of laughter in the restaurant.
Chu Qing recalled the first time he saw the two sisters, when the Iron Horse Seven Thieves were with them.
These two girls helped the Seven Iron Horse Thieves to deal with Chu Fan. During the fight, they said that if Chu Fan couldn't beat them, he would have to kowtow and call himself the big brother.
Are they a little too obsessed with being someone else's eldest brother?
"Lü Zhi, I think these two girls are very pretty, just give in."
"That's right, if such a pretty girl asked me to kowtow and call her big brother, then I would definitely obey."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Those who knew Lu Zhi in the restaurant started to laugh at him.
But the last sentence caught the sister's attention. She turned her head and shook her head:
"No, no, you can't kowtow to me.
"You are too thin and not impressive. It will be embarrassing if you kowtow to me and call me big brother."
"What did you say?"
The man flew into a rage upon hearing this.
He and the Five Tigers of Hengdao are both young masters who debuted in the martial arts world almost at the same time. However, unlike the Five Tigers of Hengdao, this man prefers to be alone and looks down upon the Five Tigers of Hengdao when they gather in groups.
Therefore, he clashed with the Five Tigers more than once.
However, Lu Zhi alone was not inferior to him in martial arts, and he was defeated in every clash.
Today, I finally saw the Five Tigers of Hengdao suffer a loss at the hands of two women. I wanted to give them a beating when they were down, but I didn't expect to be mocked by this girl.
Suddenly, he was furious:
"Do you know who I am? Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because Wen Daohu has fallen into your hands.
"Lu Zhi is afraid of the consequences, but I don't care whether you kill him or not!!"
After he finished speaking, his figure flashed and a short knife at his waist was unsheathed.
But before its sharpness was exhausted, it was easily caught by two fingers.
The man was stunned and was about to use force when he heard a snapping sound and the knife was broken in half by the sister.
Then he slapped him in the chest and abdomen with his backhand.
There was a loud bang, and the man was hit and flew out, falling through the window onto the street outside.
The elder sister shook her head in disappointment:
"They said he was too thin and couldn't take a beating at all."
"This willow-like figure will run away as soon as the wind blows."
My sister also sighed repeatedly.
Hearing the regret in their words, some people present couldn't help but laugh out loud.
But more people fell into silence.
Lu Zhishen frowned. The man's martial arts was only slightly weaker than his, but he couldn't withstand the girl's palm.
If these two sisters join forces, the four words "Five Tigers with Swinging Swords" would probably be wiped out of the underworld today.
He immediately sighed:
"The young lady's martial arts are unrivaled, today we brothers admit defeat.
"Please show some mercy, young lady."
After hearing this, the elder sister thought about it carefully, let go of Wen Daohu's knife, and turned to look at Lu Zhi:
"So, did you agree or not?"
"This……"
Lu Zhi looked at the other brothers, then gritted his teeth and said:
"From today on, I, Lu Zhi, will be the vanguard of the two ladies. However, I, the brothers, please let them go."
"Brother, what do you mean by that?
"How can we brothers abandon you?"
"That's right, today we either leave together, stay together, or die together!"
"exactly!"
The brothers talked to each other, and when they were moved, they almost burst into tears.
The two sisters looked at each other with innocence in their eyes, as if all this had nothing to do with them.
In the end, Lu Zhi took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice:
"We brothers have just discussed it. From today on, we will only follow your lead.
“But we have to make it clear in advance… Don’t do unjust things, don’t kill innocent people!
"Please help me, young lady."
"Oh... sure."
The two sisters agreed very readily.
They looked at each other as if they still couldn't believe it, and the younger sister said:
"Did we really succeed?"
My sister nodded repeatedly:
"We have men!"
"We are one step closer to unifying the Green Forest!"
"Many years later, we will definitely be the overlord of the green forest!!"
Lu Zhi had just expressed his loyalty, and when he heard them say this, he was almost dumbfounded:
"You two... are you a lone thief from some mountain?"
"No."
My sister laughed and said:
“Since you are our subordinates, you must know our identities.
"I am the elder sister, Nian Xin."
"I'm your sister, Nian'an."
The two sisters looked at each other and spoke at the same time:
"We come from Bodhi Temple!"
There was a crash.
As soon as the three words "Bodhi Temple" came out, the other people in the restaurant were at a loss, but a steamed bun in Jiang Shendao's hand suddenly fell down and knocked over the soup bowl.
Chu Qing frowned slightly. The three words "Bodhi Temple" were also unfamiliar to him, and he had never heard of them before.
He looked at Jiang Shendao thoughtfully:
"Senior, do you know about this Bodhi Temple?"
"what?"
Jiang Shendao shook his head in confusion:
"I haven't heard of it, I don't know... Just now the acupuncture needle jumped a little, so my hand was shaking and I couldn't hold the steamed bun. "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Chu Qing glanced at him and didn't ask any more questions.
The two sisters chatted with the Five Tigers for a while, and then the group left in a hurry.
"Bodhi Temple..."
Bian Cheng held the wine glass in his hand and turned it slightly:
"I feel like I've heard of it somewhere."
But I can't remember where exactly.
A few people chatted casually, all speculating about the identities of the two sisters.
Judging from the name, Bodhi Temple should be a nunnery, but the problem is that these two sisters don’t look like nuns.
After discussing it for a while without any conclusion, I didn't really care.
After eating and drinking their fill, the group left the restaurant and went to the inn where Mo Duxing and Bian Cheng were staying.
The inn is called Fuyun Inn, and it is also crowded at this moment.
This was mainly because the Tianxia Yipin Conference was about to be held and there were people everywhere.
Chu Qing and Wenrou were lucky enough, as there were exactly three rooms left, one for each of them.
After everything was arranged, the second brother led them upstairs.
There was another commotion in front of the inn.
Several people stood on the handrail on the second floor and looked down, only to see a group of people pouring into the inn, with a woman being protected among them.
The woman was wearing a purple dress, with a slim waist and plump hips, and her figure was extremely graceful.
But her specific appearance could not be seen. She was wearing a bamboo hat with her face covered. The white gauze of the hat swayed in the wind, occasionally revealing a small pointed chin.
The diners in the hall seemed to have known her for a long time, and they were all looking forward to her appearance.
However, she was not interested in the noise around her. She just looked up suddenly when she was halfway there.
The eyes under the bamboo hat met Chu Qing's.
This was a very small pause, and the woman continued walking from the lobby of the inn to the backyard.
Chu Qing frowned slightly and asked softly:
"Who is she?"
Mo Duxing stood with his hands behind his back, looking graceful and elegant:
"Third Master, don't you know her?"
Chu Qing shook his head, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Her name is Qingling."
Bian Cheng smiled and said:
"She is the top star in Yanzhilou. As the saying goes, the three beauties of Nanling are so stunning that they outshine the whole house.
“She is one of these three.”
The three most beautiful sights of Nanling?
Chu Qing touched his chin and shook his head decisively:
"Unheard of."
Biancheng laughed:
"It seems that the Third Young Master really knows nothing about this. When I have time, I will take you to see the world."
"...Brother Bian wants to take me out for a drink?"
"Exactly!"
Biancheng said as a matter of course:
"Speaking of which, there is also a Tianxiang Tower in Shendao City. How about we go and take a look tonight?"
Chu Qing was somewhat tempted.
After all, he had only seen things like drinking wine in novels and on TV in his previous life.
I've never really experienced...
If you just want to see the world, there's nothing wrong with that.
But he still shook his head, he had other things to do tonight.
Border Town did not force it.
After that, everyone went back to their rooms to pack up, and started wandering around Shendao City in the afternoon.
The more people there are, the more lively it will be.
At the same time, there were a lot of messy things... This afternoon, Chu Qing and his party experienced the customs and culture of Shendao City and bought some small miscellaneous items.
There were three duels.
Four to be exact...
However, they chose to fight the last battle on the roof of the Divine Sword Hall, but the people from the Divine Sword Hall didn't let them in, so the battle ended in nothing.
At the same time, they found a suitable blacksmith shop and hired a doctor to help Jiang Shendao remove the lock on his scapula.
The scene was a bit bloody, as flesh had clung to the buckle over the years, and after it was taken off, shreds of flesh were still hanging from it.
Jiang Shendao is worthy of being the overlord who was able to create the Divine Sword Hall. He did not make a single sound during the entire process.
Chu Qing also roughly sorted out the overall layout of Shendao City this afternoon.
And from Wenrou's words, I learned that the smell of the knife was in the Divine Sword Hall.
In the blink of an eye, the night gradually darkened.
Chu Qing changed into a nightgown, put away the knife, and untied the straps on the Qingye Sword.
After putting away the willow-leaf throwing knife, he put on the white mask, opened the window and walked into the night.
He didn't intend to kill anyone right away tonight.
Instead, he planned to test the waters of the Divine Sword Hall first.
Chu Qing actually had some doubts about Jiang Shendao, and always felt that this old man was hiding something.
This is a good opportunity to see if I can test the one in the Divine Sword Hall...who is about to die.
He had basically stepped on the mark during the day.
At night he came to the rooftop of a restaurant, which was nearly a hundred feet away from the Divine Sword Hall. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to jump from here to the Divine Sword Hall.
However, Chu Qing did not hesitate at all.
The Mingyu Sutra circulated in his body, and he first used the Star-Chasing and Moon-Chasing Steps. His body leaped out like an arrow, striding more than ten feet away.
When his body was in the air, he used the Golden Goose Skill.
He stepped in the air, each step was thirty feet long, as if he was stepping on the air. He took forty-two steps in succession before his body gradually sank.
At this point, the distance to the destination is less than ten feet.
He turned his Golden Goose Skill, stepped on the void, and his body suddenly rose up again, using the force to perform the Star-Chasing and Moon-Catching Steps again.
His figure flashed like lightning, and in the blink of an eye he landed steadily on the rooftop of a small building in the Divine Sword Hall.
He looked back at the roof of the restaurant and couldn't help but let out a sigh:
"If it weren't for the Mingyu Sutra... it would be impossible to perform forty-two steps in the air with just the Golden Goose Skill.
“That is to say, thirty-seven steps is not the limit of the Golden Goose Skill.
“It’s the limit of inner strength.
"As long as your internal strength is higher... let alone forty-two steps, I can even show you eighty-two steps."
The last turning point, using the Golden Goose Skill to follow the Star Chasing Moon Step, was what Chu Qing had gained after refining his Qinggong skills during this period of time.
Chu Qing was very satisfied with this performance, but he did not remain complacent for too long.
He stood here, overlooking the Divine Sword Hall. Although he could not take in all areas of the Divine Sword Hall, he could still get a general idea.
This Divine Sword Hall is located in Divine Sword City, which is actually equivalent to the City Lord’s Mansion of Tianwu City.
However, the Divine Sword Hall is larger and has more people.
It's like a city within a city.
"Should we go find Qi Guan first, or... Pei Wuji?"
After a moment of hesitation, he decided to go look for Qi Guan first.
During this period of time, he has basically understood the layout of the Shendao Hall from Jiang Shendao.
But he was always suspicious of Jiang Shendao and did not completely trust him, so he was still very careful when he acted, moving around and avoiding patrols.
After a while, Chu Qing finally reached a yard.
There was just a carriage at the gate of the yard, and the yard was brightly lit.
Apparently, the people in the yard were not resting at this time.
Chu Qing hid on the roof and took a peek, and saw a middle-aged man lying on a couch in the yard with his eyes closed.
I don't know if he was unconscious or just fell asleep.
A woman in purple was changing clothes beside the bed.
Chu Qing recognized the identity of this woman at a glance. It was Qing Ling, whom he had just met in the inn during the day.
This time he didn't look away, just because Qing Ling was wearing... a nightgown! ?
