() In the next month, Tianshui City was under martial law, especially in the south city. Even during the day, practitioners could be seen flying in the sky. In the west city, the number of Sitian Pavilion monks on patrol in each team was reduced from the original three
The number has increased to seven people, including two foundation-building monks and five Qi-training monks. Such scale and intensity have not been seen in the history of Sitian Pavilion.
Chen Yunsheng and Yu Chixue couldn't find any chance to make a move, so they stayed dormant in the ice-drinking room. Their days were calm and monotonous. Because the ice-drinking room had an elegant environment and affordable prices, they gradually gained a group of old tea drinkers, who wanted to drink tea every day.
When I came here, the clouds and mountains were shrouded in mist and I talked about the scenery for half a day.
Zhao Rui liked this lively feeling very much, and often indulged himself in the afternoon chatter of the tea guests without being able to extricate himself. Ever since he saw Yu Chixue using his sword to kill people, Zhao Rui had a little more respect for this silent servant.
Although both Chen Yunsheng and Yu Chixue denied what happened yesterday the next day, and claimed that he was hallucinating due to drinking too much, Zhao Rui was not stupid at all. Knowing that he was deliberately concealing it, he continued to pretend to be deaf.
Be dumb.
A month later, Tanaka came back. Chen Yunsheng also wondered why it took him so long to go. It was only a thousand miles away, but with Tanaka's cultivation and flying at full speed, it probably wouldn't take him three or four hours to arrive.
When asked about this, Tanaka said honestly: "Mr. Zhuge left me to do some things for him, which delayed me for a while."
Chen Yunsheng asked curiously: "There are many people available in Taibai Peak, why did he ask you for help?"
"I don't know about this. He asked Xiaohu and I to help him change the terrain of a valley, saying that he wanted to set up some magic circle." Tanaka answered honestly.
Speaking of the magic circle, Chen Yunsheng became more alert and asked: "What is he doing with the magic circle?"
"I said I wanted to ambush the disciples of Tianlu Sect, but after waiting for more than a month, I didn't see any movement from Tianlu Sect. I couldn't wait any longer and came back. When I entered the city, I encountered many interrogations, and it was not easy to return.
Here." Tanaka explained everything.
"It seems that those people are not bragging that they are related to Tianlu Sect." Chen Yunsheng said to himself. At this time, he was a little worried about Zhuge Jingyu's situation. After all, Tianlu Sect is a big sect in the Tianqiong Mountains. Although
It is not as good as the Hidden Moon Sect and Tingfeng Valley, but it has been in business for more than a hundred years and has many disciples and disciples. With the current strength of the Tianqiong Sect, it is absolutely incapable of challenging such a sect.
"Did Zhuge Jingyu ask you to bring any message?" Chen Yunsheng asked after thinking for a while.
Tanaka shook his head and said: "That's not true. He just said that he is preparing something. When it is ready, he will ask the young master to go back and watch."
"Zhuge Jingyu is cautious in his decisiveness. After twenty years of experience, it is extraordinary. If there was really a problem, I am afraid he would have sent a letter for help long ago." Chen Yunsheng felt relieved when he thought of this.
At this time, Tanaka asked: "I wonder how things are going, Master? Is everything going well?"
Chen Yunsheng said with a gloomy expression: "The past few days were pretty good, but recently Sitiange has become alert, so it is not easy to start."
Yu Chixue also shook his head and sighed: "The so-called assassination, what stands out is a secret word, and it is usually done by surprise. Now that the other party is on guard, trying to make a difference is like pulling out a tooth from a tiger's mouth. It is difficult."
"Oh? I think it might be safer and more hidden if you sneak in underground." Tanaka suggested intentionally or unintentionally.
Chen Yunsheng smiled bitterly and said: "My first escape method is Earth Escape, and it is the most proficient among the Five Elements escape methods, but I still dare not use Earth Escape to approach the target of assassination. According to what I know, there are underground structures in Nancheng.
It’s full of magic circles as fine as a spider web, so it’s probably not that easy to break into.”
A flash of brilliance flashed in Tianzhong's eyes and he said: "To be honest, sir, I have some success in the earth escape technique. If you are willing, I can try it to see if I can break through the heavy magic circle."
Chen Yunsheng had never been in the habit of looking down on others. When he heard what Tian Zhong said, his heart moved a little. He turned his eyes to Yu Chixue and asked for his opinion.
Yuchixue thought for a long time and suddenly said: "I plan to kill Zhang Zhongyi."
Chen Yunsheng was shocked. He came back from Wanbao Market that day. He carefully read the scroll introducing the way of ghost cultivation. The introduction about corpse chrysalis was not long, but it was basically consistent with what he saw. It recorded
Mature corpse chrysalises are no different from ordinary people. They have human thoughts and speech patterns. They can transform into a kind of bug only when needed, and most of these bugs are very powerful in their bodies.
The semi-finished product, just like the scorpion monster he saw in the underground palace of Yeyi City, has always been in a half-human, half-insect state. In this state, it will most likely behave violently, murderously, and cold-blooded. However,
It cannot be said that a mature corpse chrysalis is more terrifying than a semi-finished product. It also depends on what kind of insect eggs and corpses are chosen when making the corpse chrysalis. The scroll stopped abruptly at this point. Chen Yunsheng did not know about the corpse chrysalis.
Specific production process.
He had an intuition that what the person in the shadow said that night was that the secret hidden in Xiliang Kingdom was related to the corpse chrysalis. The best way to uncover this secret was to directly capture a living corpse chrysalis.
The message obtained from the mouth of the corpse chrysalis is more realistic.
"Indeed, Zhang Zhongyi is a good target." Chen Yunsheng nodded and said, "However, the risk is not small."
Tanaka interjected: "Sir, I'm usually quite cautious when it comes to my words. I usually don't want to talk too much when I speak, but I'm 70% sure that I won't be discovered."
A rare smile appeared on Yuchixue's face, and he said with excitement: "In that case, what are you waiting for? My body has been rusty for the past month, and I always want to have a chance to show it off."
Chen Yunsheng knew very well that the other party's excitement was not because he wanted to move his body, but because he wanted to avenge his shame. After a while, he gradually had a rough plan in his mind, and after a while, he thought about everything clearly.
Seeing the whole story, he slowly opened his eyes.
"I don't plan to do anything tonight, because Tianzhong has just come back and has lost a lot of spiritual energy along the way. The time is tomorrow night. Tianzhong first sneaks into Nancheng to help us find a way without alerting the Sitian Pavilion monks. And do some spying.
Whether Zhang Zhongyi is in the mansion or not. Regardless of whether he is there or not, you must return the same way and you are not allowed to act on your own."
Chen Yunsheng paused for a moment and then said: "There is only one thing that needs to be paid attention to. If there is a problem with the execution process, don't come back here again. Direct your pursuers to the south gate. Someone will naturally meet you there."
Tanaka nodded, indicating that he had no problem.
Chen Yunsheng looked at Yu Chixue again and said: "Originally, I planned to go alone, but considering that it is not easy to capture the opponent alive, you have to go with me. After all, you have fought against him before and you know his strength relatively well."
Although Yu Chixue had a thousand reluctances in his heart, he had failed once before, so he couldn't say anything else, so he nodded in agreement.
Chen Yunsheng turned his head, looked at Bai Murong who had been silent and said: "Murong, this operation is more dangerous and we cannot let you stay out of it. What do you think?"
Bai Murong smiled and said: "You finally remembered me. Anyway, I am idle, so I can help."
"You will meet me at a place thirty miles outside the south city. If I am still missing by tomorrow tomorrow, you can go back to the Ice Drinking Room on your own. If there is no one here, then go back to Taibai Peak and tell Zhuge Jingyu that I have died." Chen Yun
Sheng said calmly, as if he was completely describing other people's affairs, without the slightest hint of concern.
Bai Murong said sadly: "You are not allowed to die all day long from now on. If you die, I will have to follow you. It is clear that you don't take this girl's life as one thing. It's really irritating."
Chen Yunsheng scratched his head and thought to himself that he had actually forgotten this matter. After arranging everything, he let out a sigh of relief, as if he had done something extremely exhausting, "Tonight and tomorrow, we have to take care of ourselves."
Jing recharges his batteries, everyone disperses."
…
On the second day, a sign was hung outside the ice-drinking room, which said "Close the store for a day", which made many old tea drinkers feel resentful. I had never seen such an arrogant shop that refused to do business when it came.
Zhao Rui was also full of doubts, wondering, didn't he have another helper? Why did he have to close the store instead. However, seeing Yu Chixue's extraordinary talents, he did not question him too much.
It was night, the dark clouds had closed the moon, and even the stars in the sky had hidden their traces. The sky was gray and the light was extremely dim.
Chen Yunsheng patted Tian Zhong's shoulder meaningfully and warned: "Be careful on the road."
The other party responded with a gentle but firm look.
A khaki light and shadow disappeared from the backyard of the ice drinking room. At first, the sound of rustling earth could still be heard, but later it became almost inaudible.
The waiting time was the most unbearable. Before setting off, Yu Chixue told Tan Zhong the specific location of Zhang Zhongyi's residence. Chen Yunsheng knew that the most difficult thing during earth escape was positioning. Even if the location was determined before departure, there was no way to guarantee the route along the way.
There are no bends. The soil layer along the way is basically similar, so it is easy to get lost underground.
The only way is to rely on the powerful soul to pierce the soil and sense the scenery on the ground to identify the direction. Very few people use soil escape to sneak into the soil below twenty feet. Of course, it is another matter when fighting against others.
Don't worry about it.
At this time, Bai Murong had already left the city to lurk, and only Yu Chixue and Chen Yunsheng were left in the yard. Time passed slowly, and both of them were people who could endure loneliness. No one spoke, and they waited quietly.
However, neither of them was at peace at all. As an assassin, Yuchixue needed to maintain his inner excitement. Only in this way could he strike out with a sharper sword. Chen Yunsheng, on the other hand, was a little worried that Tanaka would miss. He had been to Nancheng once.
I know how terrifying those spider web-like magic circles underground are. They are like huge meat grinders, and they will be minced into pieces if you are not careful.
