Chapter 48: Recruiting Duan Yanqing (1)
At night, the entire manor is quiet. There is no moon and no starlight tonight, making the earth darker than usual nights.
The night was as thick as water, covering the entire manor.
Lu Yuan was still awake. He was wearing a servant's clothes and hiding in the darkness of the manor, waiting for the uninvited guests who might arrive tonight.
After waiting for half a night, the unexpected guest did not arrive, but a night rain came.
It had already rained during the day, but now it was even heavier.
Raindrops fell from the sky, and the chill brought by the rain made the night even colder.
The raindrops fell on the roof, bluestone, pond... making a "crash" and "crackling" sound.
The sound of rain covers up some other sounds at night, such as the sounds of some small animals, such as the snores of people sleeping soundly...
Even though it was raining, Lu Yuan still hid in the dark, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath. While he was practicing his internal skills and thinking about his own martial arts path, he also paid attention to the movements around him.
When eyes are closed, a person's other senses tend to be heightened.
With this rain, Lu Yuan is even more convinced that there will be uninvited guests coming tonight.
Rain can cover up smells, cover up body shapes, wash away traces, and the sound of rain can also cover up the sound of footsteps, let alone at night.
Suddenly, Lu Yuan opened his eyes. Although the night was very dark tonight, covered by rain and fog, and the visibility was very low, he still saw a hazy black shadow crossing the wall of the manor and entering the manor.
This black shadow is not bad at martial arts. It walks in the rain like a ghost, and it is very difficult to detect due to the sound of rain covering up the movement. If Lu Yuan hadn't been extremely skilled now, he might not have been able to spot this person.
Seeing Heiying's Qinggong, a smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face. The real master who was waiting for tonight has arrived.
He no longer hid, floated out from his hiding place, and struck the black shadow with a silent palm.
The black shadow had just climbed over the wall and entered the manor. Suddenly, he felt a warning sign in his heart, knowing that someone must be ambushing him secretly and attack him when he came over.
He has been traveling around the world for many years, so he has naturally expected this kind of thing. When entering this manor, how could he not be prepared and leave no trace behind?
The crutch in the black shadow's right hand was stretched forward decisively, using the crutch as a finger, pointing at the person who sneaked up on him. The internal force in the crutch had turned into sharp finger strength.
This crook can poke a hole even if it hits a solid rock, let alone a human body?
The person who sneaked up on him didn't attack him forcefully. He first slapped the crutch with his left palm, then followed closely with his right palm and slapped the stick hard.
Instantly, Heiying felt an astonishing force coming back from the crutch, which made Heiying's arm numb and almost threw the cane away.
This person has extremely high martial arts skills!
The black shadow made this judgment in his mind. The other crutch was on the ground. His figure retreated suddenly and jumped back. But how could the person who sneaked up on him let him go? As he stepped forward, the black shadow heard a soft cry.
, a long sword has come through the air.
The sword energy spread vertically and horizontally, slicing through the continuous rain curtain in front and reaching straight for the black shadow.
The crutch in the black shadow's right hand rested on the ground to support his body. The crutch in his left hand quickly stretched out, using the crutch as a sword, and used a sword technique to fight with the long sword.
The sword and crutch collided fiercely, making a sound of gold and iron clashing. The conflict of internal forces caused the sword and crutch to rub against each other in the rainy night and create sparks.
The two men clashed in the rain, their swords and crutches constantly clashing, seemingly equally matched.
The black shadow uses his staff as a sword, and his sword skills are wide open and closed, and he maintains his self-respect. Even in the extremely light and elegant sword moves, he still has the aura of a king.
This is a set of upright and majestic swordsmanship.
The swordsmanship performed by his opponent was very strange. His figure was elegant, as if dancing, and a long sword appeared in his hand. If he wasn't careful, it would come out of a tricky place.
Assassination towards the shadow.
The more the shadow fought, the more frightened he became, because he discovered that the swordsmanship of the sneak attacker hiding in the dark began to change, becoming the same as the swordsmanship he used.
How could this man learn his family's swordsmanship in such a short period of time?
It’s not a good place to stay for a long time!
Heiying's heart was solemn, and his right hand, which had been numb from the shock, had now recovered. He raised his right hand and connected the points, shooting out a series of finger force to force the opponent away so that he could escape.
But the opponent was not forced away. The man held a sword in one hand and connected with the other hand. The invisible sword energy shot out and met with the force of his fingers in the air.
The finger power and the sword energy collided with each other, vibrating the air, making sounds such as "pop, pop, pop", and the dissipated force even shattered the surrounding raindrops, forming a rainless zone.
"Six Meridians Divine Sword?"
The black shadow said something in shock, then seemed to think of something and was no longer so surprised.
"Yes, it is the secret skill of the Duan family in Dali - the Six Meridians Divine Sword. Several volumes of sword manuals for the Six Meridians Divine Sword have been spread throughout the world. You must have read it, right? Why don't you use it?"
"As an orthodox descendant of the Duan royal family and the former Prince of Yanqing, you have been immersed in Yiyangzhi for so many years and have mastered the sword energy of the Six Meridians Divine Sword. It shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
When the black shadow heard what the other party said, his face changed slightly, and then his eyes became very sinister. He stared at the person opposite and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you, your Excellency? Why do you know my identity?"
The shadow's mouth did not move, but a sound came out. If you look carefully for the source of the sound, you will find that the sound did not come from his mouth, but from his abdomen.
"Ventriloquism?"
Lu Yuan looked at the black shadow and smiled: "I know a lot. Not only do I know your identity, but I also know that you had a good time with a woman on your way to Tianlong Temple more than ten years ago. Tianlong Temple
Outside, under the bodhi tree, Hua Zi is slovenly, and Guanyin has long hair."
The last sentence was delivered by Lu Yuan using his internal power.
When the black shadow heard this, his body suddenly shook. He looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief and said in a trembling voice: "Why do you know this? Who are you?"
Lu Yuandao: "You city people just know how to play, and you have fun playing it. Under a tree outside the temple...ahem, okay, I won't talk about it. You don't have to use this
Look at me with cannibalistic eyes. Don’t you want to know who the woman you had sex with is? Don’t you want to know what happened next?”
When the black shadow heard what Lu Yuan said in front of him, his eyes were fierce and murderous intent surged, and he wished he could immediately pick up the crutch in his hand and stab the man to death.
That night was the most unforgettable night in his life, and it was that night that gave him the courage to continue living.
On the most helpless and desperate night in his life, he met his Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva under the Bodhi tree outside Tianlong Temple. The long-haired Avalokitesvara in white clothes was actually willing to sacrifice her own life to be happy with him.
This reaffirmed his faith and allowed him to live strong in this world with this broken body.
In his heart, the woman that night was like the Guanyin Bodhisattva. How could she be allowed to be blasphemed by others? Anyone who blasphemed her would die!
But after hearing what Lu Yuan said behind him, the black shadow could only restrain his murderous intent. He wanted to know who the woman who looked like Guanyin Bodhisattva was?
