A wooden boat travels on the water at a steady speed, and the propeller behind it automatically draws out a white wave when there is no wind.
This is a lake cruise boat prepared by Zhuoyu Villa for guests. It is powered by a talisman. You only need to control the steering, but the speed is not much faster. Thanks to this, there is no need for a few old men to hey, hey, hey.
of paddling.
"Attention, attention." Lu Bao, the rough old man who found the clue first, patted the side of the boat and reminded loudly: "The place is almost here."
Is this it?
Several people on the same boat looked left and right and saw nothing but vast white water. They couldn't see anything different about this piece of water. There wasn't even a floating marker. I really admire this old boy for being able to recognize it.
Lu Bao was so excited that he adjusted his direction himself and rushed in one direction.
"boom--"
With a soft sound, the wooden boat pressed against a transparent wall. Although there was still open water in front of us, no matter how the propeller behind it rotated and the white waves rolled, the boat could no longer move forward.
Sure enough, there was a transparent wall blocking the front. Everyone moved forward and touched it, and their hands were neither stone nor wood, like hard and solid air, indeed like an iron wall.
"Look, what am I talking about? This must be a secret place that was blocked by some kind of formation. It must be the sword furnace. As long as it breaks through, it will ruin Xue Xianyun's plan. Take ten thousand steps back and say,
Even if it's not the Sword Furnace, it's still the treasure of Zhuoyu Villa, where their family wealth is hidden, and if we go in and ruin it, we will definitely make Old Xue feel distressed."
Everyone nodded - compared to those in Chuncheng and the snow-capped mountains who came for profit, these few were very simple from beginning to end - they simply just wanted to cause trouble for Xue Xianyun.
The old grudges from back then are still in my mind, so as long as Zhuoyu Villa values something, they are right to ruin it. Moreover, looking at the way it is being protected, it is really possible that this is the sword furnace.
Several old men looked at each other, and the oldest brother Chang said: "If nothing else, prepare to break the formation."
All the old men were observing and thinking, and one person said: "Since it is a formation, I think we can break it with the formation."
Another person said: "I think we might as well start with the formation eye..."
It turns out that although these people have their own martial arts skills, whether they are knights, Sanren, or martial masters, they are mainly very outstanding talisman sword masters. They are enemies of Xue Xianyun. Although they are not more successful in making swords, talisman sword masters are very good.
His formal attainments are not bad. At this time, the discussion was also well-rounded.
At this time, the old Xun heroine, who had been sitting at the stern of the boat and was very interested, said: "Someone is coming."
Everyone turned around and saw a big red tiger running from the water not far away.
What's going on? There's a tiger running around on the water?!
A closer look revealed that there was someone riding on the tiger's back.
Although everyone had never heard of Zhao Gongming riding a tiger, they felt it was amazing to see someone riding a tiger like this. Especially after looking at the tiger's face for a while, some people had already reacted:
"Bi Fan!"
In the midst of the shouts, a young man climbed off the beast's back and stood directly on the water, as if it were flat ground. He said: "It's true. It's you again, old man. I came here yesterday and you're here again today. Since you're here again, why don't you go directly to the last time?"
A place like this? Changing to this place has made me run away so much that I no longer have the demeanor to wait for work."
Lu Bao was stunned for a moment and said: "Last time? This is where I came last time."
The young man said: "Fart. Last time I kept staring at you, you went to the Northeast. I thought you would definitely come back, so I kept waiting for you where you were. But you came here with your head down - you turned
Do you know?"
Lu Bao was shaken by what he said. The water here was too similar. Maybe he had made a mistake?
However, he reacted immediately and shouted: "Impossible. I didn't turn, otherwise why would I find the transparent wall again? Aren't these two places the same place?"
The young man's mouth twitched slightly and said: "Well..."
Then, he looked serious and said: "According to past practice, since you are the ones with invitations, it is not easy to deal with them. Usually, they will drive you back or drive you out. But since you asked this question, there is something wrong
Trouble. I have no choice but to leave you here." As he said that, he suddenly grasped the long sword that appeared at an unknown time with his backhand.
The leader of the old men, Brother Chang, kept staring at Bi An and suddenly said loudly: "The sword elephant appears. Swordsman? You are the swordsman!"
The young man did not deny it and said: "What's wrong? The swordsman can't hit you anymore?"
Several old men nearby were shocked when they heard this, and they all shouted: "It's actually a swordsman?!"
"It's so despicable to ask the Swordsman to help out!"
"Cheating, Xue Xianyun cheated!"
Even though that young man was quite thick-skinned, he was stunned for a moment when he faced this group of old men. He couldn't recognize the truth. He sighed and said: "Swordsmanship - deep prison."
A big gate with a scorpion head rose up behind him. From this starting point, railings extended outwards, with iron wires wrapped between the railings, and finally formed a closed loop, surrounding everyone.
Within the fence is the prison.
Several old men were sitting on the boat in a daze a moment ago. Suddenly, their bodies sank, as if they were wearing heavy shackles. They fell all of a sudden and sat on the solid ground like loess. Looking around, it was eerie and dark.
, and there was a musty smell like a cellar, as if we were really in a prison, and everyone was frightened.
He had used this move before, but at that time the fences were stacked on top of each other like rows of crosses, using the prison space in between as a buffer to offset the powerful power of Yunxi Yan's sword technique.
What is shown now is the prison itself.
This is a kind of defense, confinement, space and powerful swordsmanship. Those few people felt the shackles, and they didn't feel wrong at all. Anyone who entered the deep prison must wear invisible heavy shackles.
Pressed to the point of losing all strength, tightly imprisoned, unable to move in darkness and decay, and also frightened by the heavenly prison, falling into a state of fear, and becoming more and more frightened.
As a preemptive sword technique, as long as the prison is closed, the people inside are almost unable to escape. For example, Yun Xiyan could pierce the prison with a charged blow from the outside, but if she was trapped in the prison, she could not deliver this blow at all.
If you want to break through, you must either have a strong enough spirit to withstand the shock of the prison and break through it instantly with high-explosive sword skills, or you must leave before closing in the first place.
For example, the only person in this team who is not in prison.
Xing Ji raised his head and saw the man outside the prison.
An old woman with gray hair but still graceful was standing outside the prison with her hands behind her back. At her feet was the small boat they took. Not only did she see the opportunity very quickly, she escaped in an instant, and she also grabbed the only boat.
As for the hands, I have to say that my eyes are quick and my hands are quick.
The two sides looked at each other across the iron cage. Xing Ji frowned deeply in the prison. But the old woman looked calm and only smiled slightly.
"Master Xing, long time no see. Please give me your advice."
——
"Really, why is the plan so messed up? I obviously shouldn't be here."
In the woods, several people were moving forward quickly. One of them, an old man with gray hair, sighed silently in his heart.
"Lao Zhang——" a woman next to him shouted.
The old man was stunned and said: "Call me? Why?"
The woman shook her head and said: "You, you still can't react. If I call you Lao Zhang, you have to agree. Do you still remember what the Lord Protector ordered? Since we have gone to so much trouble to pretend to be the original guests,
Then just keep using this identity. It just so happens that the person we are meeting is not a member of the family who knows the ins and outs of the family, so we are being careful not to reveal his true identity. Now your name is Zhang Chengyi, not Zhan Feng, and my name is Hao Huixian.
Let’s call each other this, don’t forget.”
The old man nodded, but smiled bitterly in his heart.
The problem is, his name is not Zhang Chengyi, nor Zhan Feng, his name is Hua Qian.
Hua Qian is a killer by profession. He has a small reputation in the Yama Store and is one of the best among the new generation of killers. This time, he was entrusted by his "ex-brother" Wei Se to lurk among the enemies of Zhuoyu Villa.
Things went very smoothly. He and Wei Se intercepted a transaction together. They pretended to be counterfeit Zhang Chengyi and came to a secret place to gather. They blended into the enemy team and met one of the masterminds behind the scenes.
This team gathered twenty or thirty spies who pretended to be guests of the sword-making conference. Hua Qian memorized their information one by one. Even if he didn't have the chance to fight back, he would at least be able to report back.
For information, a guaranteed information fee will be charged.
Who knows if they will die or not? After their leader, the young "Master Guards" showed up, he said that there were too many people and that they were all traitors and would be in the way. He casually told Hua Qian and others to go support another team. He also said this
This team is hidden in the mountains and is the real killer. They should be happy to take on this important task.
In fact, everyone except Hua Qian was quite happy, because they all knew which team was more capable of making meritorious deeds. And it was more satisfying to follow that team and go straight up the mountain than to sneak up the mountain with one's head and tail exposed.
As for Hua Qian, although he didn't want to in his heart, he could only follow for the time being. He kept making calculations in the team.
The team that had been scheduled to lurk suddenly turned to the other side and took a completely different route from the plan. Should this mission still be done? How will the follow-up development be? Remuneration... Remuneration is a small matter. The key is that if this mission aborts, right?
For me, it's a professional stain. Not to mention that it was commissioned by Wei Se.
He almost wanted to break away from the team, then go back, find another spy to kill and pretend to be, and change his identity to complete the original mission, but he never found an opportunity.
Although there are only four people in his team, they are not bad in strength. The leader among them is even better in martial arts than him. Although they can be killed with the help of killer methods, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of others, making it difficult for the remaining two to take action.
Yes, the chance of exposure is high.
After several unsuccessful attempts, he finally followed the team to a grotto.
In front of the grotto, someone was lurking on guard. Without Hua Qian's need to worry, someone in the team stepped forward and corrected the code, saying:
"Please report to Mr. Shi, we are here to reinforce you on the orders of the Zhuguo Guards."
The other party checked their identity documents and took several people to the depths of the grotto, where there was a man wearing Chinese clothes, sitting cross-legged, but he was a young man with a calm appearance.
Several people stepped forward and said in unison: "I have met Lord Shi Chunqing."
