The leaking pot sounds twice, and the second watch has arrived.
People have already fallen asleep.
The faint moonlight enveloped Qingsong Inn, and there was silence.
But he saw a flash of black shadow, as if someone had climbed over the wall. He came to Ji Cangyu's guest room like the wind, skillfully pried open the door, and sneaked into the house quietly.
The guest room was dark. The man in black walked gently to the window and opened it. The dim moonlight shone on the small table next to the window. On it was Ji Cangyu's pendant. sword.
The man in black glanced at the sword, making sure that there was no mechanism on it, and unsheathed the sword without hesitation. The movement of his sword was so skillful that it didn't even make any sound. Although each sword has different qualities, in just a glance, the man in black seems to know this sword well. It seems that he is an expert with swords, but he came without a weapon, which is suspicious.
All this did not wake Ji Cangyu, he was still asleep. Just imagine how many people in today's martial arts world can freely come and go around Ji Cangyu, who has great internal strength, without disturbing him
Holding a sword, the man in black moved towards Ji Cangyu's bed.
There is still silence all around, but at this moment, the blood is boiling in a person's veins. He was about to succeed, and he could finally avenge his enemy with his own hands.
But at this moment, the moment that the man in black had been waiting for for many years, Ji Cangyu suddenly opened his eyes. Perhaps this is the intuition unique to people in the world when their lives are threatened.
Ji Cangyu quickly turned aside and dodged the sword that was about to pierce his heart. With lightning speed, he grabbed the man in black's right shoulder with his backhand, and then slapped him hard with his palm. on his back.
This move was so unexpected and so fast that the man in black was caught off guard.
Ji Cangyu grabbed his hand and exerted force, only to hear the bones "crack". The man in black trembled, grunted, and the sword fell from his hand.
The man in black was seriously injured.
Seeing that he had lost the power to resist, Ji Cangyu withdrew some of his strength and shouted angrily, "Who are you and why do you want to take Ji's life?"
As soon as he finished speaking, The man in black took this opportunity to punch his already severely injured right shoulder with his left hand.
Ji Cangyu was careless and unprepared, and his hands were blown away by his blow.
The man in black actually resorted to self-injury to survive in a desperate situation. If he attacked directly, Ji Cangyu would of course be on guard. This method of self-injury is by far the best method. Fortunately, the man in black figured it out
In addition, Ji Cangyu should never have lost some of his strength, even though this was a reflection of his kindness. Of course, he didn't expect that a man holding a sword in his right hand and trying to stab himself to death would use his left hand. Ji Cangyu underestimated the enemy too much, thinking that he had severely injured the opponent's right shoulder, so he was unable to resist.
As soon as the man in black got free, he used his supernatural movement skills to dodge to the window, and at the same time threw a dagger backward, using this obstacle to escape from the retreat just left for him.The road jumped out.
Ji Cangyu quickly channeled his inner strength into his palms, caught the oncoming dagger, raised his sword and chased after it. At this time, the man in black had jumped out of the window and ran towards the woods outside the inn.
The man in black was really good at Qinggong. Even if he was seriously injured, Ji Cangyu could not catch up for a while and could only keep a certain distance from him.
Beggars Wu and Li heard the noise and rushed out. Their guest room was at the edge of the woods, and they happened to stop the man in black at this time.
Wu Xing said, "Little thief, where can you escape?" He slashed at him diagonally with his knife.
The man in black dodged and easily avoided the knife. He did not hesitate to fight and continued to run towards the woods.
Li Dali stepped forward and used his unique skill of "beating a dog with twelve sticks".
Ji Cangyu had already caught up with Wu Xing after he had delayed his attack. He knew the power of the "Twelve Sticks for Beating Dogs", so he was not in a hurry to take action. He watched the battle from the sidelines and wanted to explore the opponent's strength first.
This "beating a dog with twelve sticks" is a famous skill of the Beggar Clan. The man in black did not dare to slack off at all and had no choice but to fight it. When he turned around, there was a long soft sword in his left hand. The blade of the sword shone in the moonlight. It was indeed a treasure that could cut iron as well as clay.
Unexpectedly, Li Dali’s twelve unique moves were no match for the strange sword skills of the man in black after being injured.
Ji Cangyu, who was watching the battle from the side, was also more and more surprised. He could not see the origin of his martial arts.
Seeing that Li Dali was about to lose his ability to resist, Ji Cangyu was about to take action, but the man in black took advantage of the gap and used Qinggong to disappear into the darkness of the forest.
Wu and Li wanted to chase him, but were stopped by Ji Cangyu, "Don't chase the poor guy, there are masters nearby."
At this moment, there was a burst of arrogance. The laughter rang out.
Ji Cangyu knew who he was and was excited inside, but on the surface he said calmly, "Kangxia, please show up. Ji wants to ask you for advice on an old matter."
p>"Zhuang Master Ji, haven't you been enough of a follower for the past ten years or so?" The madman's voice came from all directions, making it difficult for people to hear the sound. This is the famous martial arts " The sound is scattered everywhere.”
Hearing this, Wu and Li were furious, but Ji Cangyu said calmly, "I hope you will stop avoiding my questions today. Where is the Book of Rejuvenation?"
Kang Xia Leng Yan's voice came, "It's easy to say, easy to say. By the way, the Book of Rejuvenation is a medical book. Why is Master Ji so interested in it? Oh, Leng forgot, you and the owner of the medical book have been friends for many years."
Ji Cangyu said, "Dr. Gan gave me a treasure book as a gift back then, but later the book was lost in Ji's hands. How could I not worry and look back?"
"Well, I really admire you, Leng. Doctor Gan has retrieved the treasure book and will not even avenge his own child's blood feud," said the madman Leng Yan.
Ji Cangyu's heart trembled when he heard this, and he clenched his sword tightly, but then he suppressed the resentment in his heart and asked loudly, "Kangxia, that book of rejuvenation"
" Ji Zhuangzhu, laterThere will be a period. " Before Ji Cangyu could finish speaking, the murmurs from Kuangxia had gradually disappeared.
Wu Xing said angrily, "Damn it, Kuangxia ran away, and so did the little thief. "
Ji Cangyu frowned and said in a low voice, "Hey, Kuangxia has repeatedly avoided answering. If I want to know the whereabouts of the book, I'm afraid a fierce fight will inevitably happen. It's a pity that he has refused to show up. Let's go back first."
Back at the inn, Li Dali asked, "Master, do you know where the assassin came from?"
Ji Cangyu shook his head "I don't know, he has come to assassinate me many times over the years. He took out the dagger left by the man in black and studied it carefully, "Although his face was covered, Ji could feel his aura. It was undoubtedly the same person." "
"Could he be a killer from the Feitian Gang?" Wu Xing asked.
"His martial arts is not from the Feitian Gang. "Ji Cangyu denied.
"What is the village owner looking at?" Li Dali asked when he saw Ji Cangyu took out a dagger and knitted his eyebrows in deep thought.
"This is black The dagger left by the man in clothes. It was a very ordinary dagger, but the blade had a slight lavender sheen, which must have been coated with some kind of concoction. "Ji Cangyu replied.
"The village owner is careful, he may have tempered the poison." Li Dali was shocked.
"It's not poison, it's a spice. strangeness. "Ji Cangyu frowned.
"Spice" Li Dali was puzzled and continued, "Some people put spices on daggers."
"What kind of spice is it?" Wu Xing asked.< /p>
“Judging from the smell and color, it should be Patchouli. "Ji Cangyu said.
"Huoxiang," Wu and Li repeated.
"This needs to be confirmed by the pharmacist again. "After saying that, Ji Cangyu raised another question, "The mad man usually has no time to hide from us, so why did he show up just now? What is his relationship with the assassin in black?"
"Although their martial arts are good, Different, but equally weird. "Li Dali said.
"Kangxia never accepts disciples," Wu Xing wondered.
"It's not necessarily that they are father and son," Li Dali boldly guessed.< /p>
"The relationship between this is really puzzling," Ji Cangyu said, "It's late at night, let's go to bed early."
Darkness often gives people an evil aura, but it may also It contains mysterious power. Darkness can also make people temporarily forget about some encounters they don’t want to face. People who often deal with darkness may like this kind of environment where they can’t see anything clearly.
There was a figure huddled in the corner, trying to completely blend into the darkness. The surroundings were very quiet, except for the extremely subtle fluctuations in the air, maybe he was breathing lightly while enduring the pain on his body. He has long been accustomed to the darkness. Tonight, let him indulge in the darkness without caring about anything and purely enjoy the feeling of being alive. At least it proves that he is still alive
