163. Conscience is not dead(1/2)
With doubts about what Ke Xin said, Chu Yunqing left the Moon Palace and followed the secret route given by Xing'er to the prince's palace.
He didn't know who wanted Ke Xin to send a message to him, but as the other party said, go and you'll see him.
In the quiet corridor, the moonlight was shining, and it seemed that there was nothing else except the quiet wind, until a different breath appeared.
Chu Yunqing's footsteps did not stop.
"Stop." Someone spoke in the darkness, in an unknown place.
Chu Yunqing paid no attention to it, and his loose cloak fluttered in the breeze.
"Then you go die." Accompanying the cold words was the sword light that suddenly came out from the darkness. Quickly, very quickly. Almost as soon as Chu Yunqing finished hearing this sentence, this sentence
The sword light then arrived in front of him.
It wasn't a sneak attack, because the other party spoke.
Chu Yunqing saw the person in front of him, dressed in black, with a cold face, and a cold long sword. This sword was not fancy at all, but it gave people a feeling that they could not avoid it and must die under this sword.
Suddenly, this sword is like Yama's book of life and death, and the judge's soul-enchanting pen. As long as you see it, you must die.
This is a desperate artistic conception. When you draw a sword, you will take your life, just to kill people.
But in this blink of an eye, Chu Yunqing could clearly see this man's appearance, feel and analyze the artistic conception of this sword. There was only one reason for this, and that was that he was faster than the opponent.
Before the sword could reach him, the light of the sword passed in front of him, bursting out suddenly and dazzling him.
Chu Yunqing's expression didn't change at all. He was still walking forward with his feet, but he didn't know when he raised his palms and stretched forward directly.
The cold eyes of the person opposite changed in an instant, and they were full of disbelief.
Chu Yunqing's hand reached into the sword light, and then there was a harsh friction sound. The sword energy split his palm like wind, and the golden light splashed, but it could not stop its progress at all.
The harsh sound only appeared for a moment, and then there was a soft sound, which was when Chu Yunqing flicked his finger on the sword.
The long sword screamed sadly, as if it had endured indescribable power, and then exploded before the scream could be heard. Countless fragments flew in all directions, but before they could even touch Chu Yunqing, they shot back.
The man in black's eyes widened, his figure was riddled with holes in the blink of an eye, and then fell apart in the next moment.
Chu Yunqing walked by calmly, staying away from the blood as if avoiding it.
The corridor became quiet again, and only the silent footsteps continued to move forward.
…
"Who on earth are you trying to kill? Why do you want to set up such a formation?"
In the darkness, among the grass and trees, several figures were waiting for a long time until someone spoke up.
"He is the one who can injure Murong Feng." Someone said.
"Injure Murong Feng!?" Someone couldn't hide their shock.
"Yes, I heard that he is still an unknown person. Really, under the general trend, people from all sides have come out, overtly and covertly." Someone sighed.
"Do you know where he was born and what his name was?" someone asked.
"I don't know about my origin. It seems to be related to Jin Yiwei. I remember his name was Chu...Chu Yunqing?" said the person who spoke before.
"Chu Yunqing?" Someone was stunned for a moment in the inconspicuous darkness.
"What's wrong?" Someone looked over and said casually: "Have you heard of it?"
"Ah, no." The man just now said quickly.
Immediately, he lowered his head, his figure covered in a fat black robe, and his face hidden by a hood.
Chu Yunqing, why is he here? The grass-headed snake's heart was filled with emotions, full of disbelief.
Yes, this person was the grass-headed snake who once lived in the Six Gates of Taiyuan Prefecture. It was his poison that indirectly killed Yan Hongran, and indirectly led to Chu Yunqing's step-by-step development.
When An Qinghe and others were killed, the grass-headed snake knew that Chu Yunqing would never let him go, so he approached Ali, who was already quite trusted at that time, and asked him to facilitate the Yuanxing Gang's hunt.
Give yourself a break.
Afterwards, the grass-headed snake came to the capital to seek refuge with a good friend from back then. The other party was from the prince, that is, from the "Jianghu".
The grass-headed snake naturally joined the "Jianghu". He was born in the martial arts world of southern Xinjiang. Although his skills were nothing among the alchemists in the capital, his ability to use poison was quite good, and he had good friends to take care of him.
, so these days have been pretty good.
He has had nothing to do recently. Until today, he was recruited by the superiors to follow some alchemists from the "Jianghu" to secretly enter the palace to protect the prince. Not long ago, he got news that they were asked to ambush here in advance and kill one with a formation.
people.
Of course, the grass-headed snake felt that it didn't matter, it was just killing people, and he was still killing people for the prince. Of course he was happy, and maybe he would get into the eyes of the prince because of his own performance, and he would prosper in the future.
Seven or eight alchemists set up the formation, of course very quickly, because I heard that the opponent was the one who injured the hall leader. Such a fierce man, of course, the formation alone was not enough to kill him, so the real killing move was in the formation.
Added poison as a poison.
Several people are confident that with this sure-kill method, no matter who the person is, they will all die.
Grass-headed Snake thought so at first, until he heard Chu Yunqing's name.
His heart skipped a beat, apart from the surprise upon hearing his name, there were two other reasons.
First, he was really afraid of this ruthless man. In the past, he was just a gangster who could kill An Qinghe and other Taiyuan State giants. This was definitely not a trick. He must have secret methods. And he himself
He even fled in embarrassment and almost lost his life, which was enough to make his expression change.
Secondly, even though Chu Yunqing is a ruthless person, the grass-headed snake knows something about him. Although he is a member of a gang, he values love and justice, and has a chivalrous spirit in him, which is quite admirable.
In other words, this guy is actually quite a good person.
So, why is he in the palace? Is he working for someone? Or is he an errand in the palace?
And why did the people from the "Jianghu" want to kill him? Is it a conflict of interest or because they have different positions? Or is it a personal enmity with the prince?
All kinds of speculations made the grass-headed snake feel depressed.
Perhaps even he himself didn't realize that his senses towards Chu Yunqing were somewhat complicated.
What's wrong with me? The grass-headed snake laughed at himself, then patted his cheek, telling himself in his heart that he was a greedy person. He killed people for fame and fortune without blinking an eye, no matter if he was Chu Yunqing or not.
, no matter what kind of person he is, just kill him.
Just as he was thinking about it, his friend next to him whispered: "The line is broken, someone is coming!"
Among the grass and trees, several people hiding in various ways immediately held their breath and looked at where they came from.
The clear water flowed under the bridge. Chu Yunqing walked quietly. When he walked down the bridge, his steps were paused because in front of him, there was an identical white jade stone bridge.
He turned around, and the moonlight was all over the ground behind him, and it was as quiet as frost.
Chu Yunqing was silent for a moment, then walked onto the Jade Bridge again, and then walked down. Sure enough, there was another bridge in front of him. Looking back, the moonlight was still bright behind him.
It's not an illusion, it's an illusion formation.
…
Chu Yunqing was not unfamiliar with the magic of Fang Ji. Whether it was the battle that night in Taiyuan Province, the life and death experience in Thunder Tribulation Valley, or the subsequent fight against Ye Chengfeng, he had learned all about it.
As for the phantom formation, he had encountered it when he was in the Thunder Tribulation Valley, and it was Ai Xiaozhou who broke the formation at that time, and now he is the only one.
Chu Yunqing walked onto the Jade Bridge again, and then walked down.
He tried not to walk on the bridge, but to use Qinggong directly to cross it, but the result was still the same, he would still appear on the other side, and the bridge was still in front of him.
Chu Yunqing let go of his perception, and all he felt was nothingness. He looked around and saw the lights of the palace. They were not dazzling, but continuous, like a long dragon in the night. They were clearly close in front of him, but they were extremely far away.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart, and he was back to the beginning, when he was still a little person struggling at the bottom of the Yuanxing Gang. What was in front of him was an insurmountable chasm, and he was a completely different world.
In other words, this is an illusory formation that he can never get out of.
Chu Yunqing remained silent and continued to walk forward, step by step, over and over again.
Slowly, he felt something was wrong with his body. There seemed to be an inexplicable aura that was invading his body as he moved and breathed, corroding and destroying his own blood and true energy, and gradually invading his meridians.
Go to Dantian.
He almost doesn't need to think about it to know that this is poison. The poison mixed in the formation. Unless he can get out, otherwise, as the cycle repeats in the formation, the poison will become more and more violent.
The heavier it is, the more likely you will die in it.
Chu Yunqing was thinking about how to break the formation. He stopped walking, but soon found that he was not walking, but the scene around him was moving backwards, as if he was walking.
The jade bridge passes under the feet, then the bluestone pavement, then the jade bridge again, and the pavement again, and the cycle continues.
Chu Yunqing frowned.
Gradually, he heard the sound of running water. It was the sound of water under the bridge. It used to flow quietly, with only the breeze making waves at night. But now, as he walked and wandered more often, the sound of water became louder and louder.
It became more frequent and the sound gradually became louder.
The sound became harsh at first, then roared, and then became like a waterfall, deafening.
A look of discomfort appeared on Chu Yunqing's face, and he covered his ears, but the sound seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, without diminishing at all.
People, even those who practice martial arts, can hold their breath and shield their own Qi and breathing, but they cannot isolate their ears from the sounds of the outside world. Even if they cover their ears, unless they are deaf, there will always be all things
The sound disturbance appears, but the sound size is different.
Even the old monks and meditating Taoist priests can hear the sounds of the outside world, but they just use secret methods to calm their minds and deliberately ignore them. In this way, they will be completely absent-minded when they meditate and meditate in the future.
