Chapter 64 The might of the Sword Saint
The winter night is quiet, and the palace, which covers half of Jade Emperor Mountain, is brightly lit, and the outer house is still filled with noise from guests.
After Xu Buling and Xiao Qi separated, they arrived at the shore of West Lake, changed into night clothes in a secluded place, jumped into the tall wall of the King of Wu's Mansion from the darkness, and marched towards the back house from above the building.
The purpose of handing over the jade pendant was to see what the King of Wu was looking for. Since the King of Wu was in a hurry to leave, he must have prepared in advance and prepared to check the authenticity of the jade. If he didn't check it at this time, it would be too late to wait until the King of Wu finished using the jade and returned it back.
The royal palace was huge, but the King of Wu was unable to move and had to ride a chariot when walking in the royal palace. Xu Buling crawled above the gorgeous buildings. With his extraordinary hearing and vision, he soon found the King of Wu Song Siming sitting on the carved chariot in the veranda in the distance.
Song Siming held two jade artifacts in his hand, with a very cautious expression. Next to him was Han Xianchu, a strategist, holding two wooden boxes in his hand. If he was right, he contained the sword spear and another jade artifact. Wang Zouyin from the Wang family in Hangzhou also walked in front of him.
The distance was too far and could not hear what he said, so Xu Buling followed him silently in the dark. He soon walked to a three-story viewing building by the lake. The outside of the building was full of soldiers and guards, and all the people who were accompanying him were left outside.
Xu Buling observed carefully. With his extraordinary light skills and insight, he bypassed the guard's sight and approached the lakeside to the bottom of the observation deck. His five fingers directly pressed into the beam and pillar like hooks, climbed up silently, listened to the footsteps inside to determine the position, and finally stopped outside the room on the top floor.
Xu Buling knew that there must be masters around him. He held his breath and condensed his breath carefully, carefully made a slight gap on the window paper, and looked inside. The wide room was very empty, with a shelf in the middle, filled with candles and bronze mirrors, and rice paper was placed in the middle.
In addition to the King of Wu who was sitting there, Han Xianchu and Wang Zouyin stood near the shelf. There was a middle-aged man wearing a scholar's robe next to him, standing with his back to his hands. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xu Buling wouldn't have expected that there would be a fourth person in the room, who looked like a top master.
"Let's get started."
King Wu sat on the couch and rubbed his fingers, staring at the wooden frame without turning his eyes.
The middle-aged man in a robe took out four jade objects, and the last one was a jade bracelet. The four jade objects were placed on various positions on the shelf, and lit the fire folds with his fingers, lit the candles one by one.
As the candlelight ignited, the room became much brighter. The light gathered on the jade under the refraction of the bronze mirror, causing the shadows of the four jades to fall on the rice paper. Because the light and darkness of the jade are different, the light and darkness of the shadows are also different, and some thin lines in the shadows can be vaguely seen.
The middle-aged scholar adjusted carefully for a moment, and after confirming that the shadows were clear, he took out a brush and carefully drew the lines on rice paper.
There was a silence in the room, with only the slight sound of the pen brush passing through the paper, and everyone focused their eyes on the rice paper.
Since Xu Buling didn't find the middle-aged scholar in advance, it means that the other party's inner breath may be longer than his, so he didn't even breathe and breathe, so he held his breath and squinted his eyes to check.
In the room, Wang Zouyin frowned and looked at it for a moment, and said in confusion: "Looking at the terrain, it looks like the Bodhi Island of Youzhou. I have been here in the clan before doing business..."
When the King of Wu heard this, he frowned slightly: "Where is Youzhou... exactly?"
The shadow is relatively complicated. Once you start writing, it blocks the light. The drawing is not fast, and it takes half a quarter of an hour to draw a rough outline. When Zuo Zhe first lived in seclusion, he must have arranged many maze-like tricks like the old master of Yuelu Mountain. The correct route was not finished so quickly.
Xu Buling was so angry that he had been holding his breath for a quarter of an hour. His face had begun to turn blue, but his expression had not changed much. He still clasped the brick wall with his five fingers and stuck it outside the window to wait for the result.
But when Xu Buling was in a daze, he suddenly felt chill in his heart and found something was wrong.
It was the slightest sign that came before the danger was enough for the top warrior to notice. Xu Buling did not care about being discovered by the people in the room, and pushed the wall without hesitation, pushing his body out of the air.
The next moment, the cold light in front of you shocked the sun and the moon, like a cloud and a dragon entering the bay.
A white afterimage flashed through the place where he was just now, and the sound had not been heard. The sharp sword edge had already broken the entire window. Ning Ren was so fast that he was dismembered. Xu Buling was half slow, he had been dismembered on the spot.
Xu Buling came to this world for a few years, and it was the first time that he was so shocked that he almost got confused. His heartbeat suddenly became several times faster. The sword was so fast that he could not tell that he was not as weak as Xue Chengzhi just by this. Xu Buling could not fight against someone in the dragon pond and tiger den. Before even the white shadow could see, he stepped on the wall and fell directly towards the deep lake below.
Plop—
After falling into the water, Xu Bu Ling's body turned into a black sharp arrow and fled out from the bottom of the water. The speed was too fast, and a white line that could be seen from the naked eye spread outwards was pulled out on the water surface.
"who--"
The explosion of the window and the sound of falling into the water came almost at the same time. Until this time, the people in the room shouted in shock and anger, and the soldiers downstairs turned around in a daze.
Xu Buling blinked out more than ten feet away in the cold and bone-blown lake water, and his head poked out of the water surface. He looked back at the situation. The scene was intriguing, but it was creepy.
I saw two figures jumping out from the brightly lit observation deck, one of them had a sharp sword light that almost covered the moonlight, and the sword roared like a dragon roaring in the sky.
The other person, the middle-aged scholar just now, was almost ghostly. He jumped into the air without making any sound, but his speed was a little faster than the swordsman. He was obviously a top internal expert.
Two afterimages rushed out of the observation deck, and under the black sky, they rushed towards Xu Buling, who was swiftly wandering away from the lake shore.
Step on the pedal-
It was clearly in the water, but Xu Buling heard clear footsteps. He looked back in a hurry, but saw the two guards rushing out coming directly on the water surface, and their speed was no worse than running on land.
!!
Xu Buling's eyes showed a little shock. He was following the outside world. He focused on opening and closing with swords, guns, swords and fists, and practiced Baji instead of Tai Chi. He was not very good at internal martial arts. In his understanding, even a good player in internal martial arts could not run so far by stepping on the water. It was a hundred steps to reach the sky, and it was extremely expensive. These two people were really scary as if they were walking on flat ground.
Although the sky was very dark and I couldn't see who the pursuer was in the water, Xu Buling also recognized that it was his father-in-law Zhu Liu who used the sword. He was swimming in the lake like a black bar in the waves at an astonishing speed. Although his posture was not as handsome as his father-in-law, his speed was much faster, which was more practical...
