There was a tremor in the short bushes, and a cat poked its head out, looking around curiously with its golden and silver eyes.
Immediately afterwards, two shining silver darts shot out, nailing the cat into the ground.
"It's just a cat, you two are too nervous."
The leader quietly took back the darts in his hand, turned his head and said to the two men with cold eyes flashing.
"My lord, you don't blame us for being unfaithful. It's just that the recent rumors are too tight, and you know that Qintian Prison cannot tolerate mistakes."
"Of course I know."
The leader snorted coldly, "The stargazers in the Qintian Prison are all reincarnations of the stars. The court will be heartbroken if there is one missing. How can we be so cheap as to die without even blinking an eye."
After complaining, the leader said seriously: "Be smart and don't miss the mark. It doesn't matter if you kill a cat, but if you kill the wrong person, things will be in trouble."
"My subordinates know."
When the two people cupped their fists and saluted, out of the corner of their eyes, Yin Xiu and Ren Qi flashed past, and using the cover of the shadows, they plunged into the back of another room and crouched down.
The map of Qintian Prison that Yin Xiu held in his hand was from more than a hundred years ago.
A gift from the man in armor to the old lady wearing embroidered shoes.
Although I don’t know why someone would take that blueprint as a gift, more than a hundred years later, the blueprint still helped Yin Xiu.
After crossing the first wall, according to the information on the drawing, there is a bridge on Luoshen Mountain in the middle leading to the main hall.
This bridge is the only passage, hanging high on a cliff, with the rushing river below.
Anyone who passes the bridge will be stared at from all directions.
If Yin Xiu and Ren Qi stepped forward like this, they would undoubtedly become living targets.
"How about using your teleportation technique to reach the other end of the bridge directly?" Ren Qi suggested.
Yin Xiu refused, "There are barriers everywhere here. As long as I use [Star Shift] to appear in a certain place, I'm afraid I will be discovered by the Qi Refiners who are looking after the barriers."
"You mean they sense it, even just for a moment?"
"That's right, even if it's only for a moment, the barrier will sense it. I think in Qintian Prison, the use of spells should generally be prohibited."
Ren Qi thought about it carefully, whether it was for the feng shui of Qin Tianjian or for the stability of the barrier, it seemed reasonable to prohibit the use of spells here.
"So, what do you propose?"
Yin Xiu smiled slightly, "My suggestion is that we go around from underneath."
"Underneath?"
Ren Qi glanced at the cliff and had to admit that it was a natural chasm.
The two sides are far apart, and there is a turbulent current in the middle. Even if there is a legendary figure in history who is said to have crossed the river with a reed, it seems that he can only sigh across the river in the face of such danger.
However, Yin Xiu brought the blueprint in front of him and pointed out an almost non-existent path to him.
After Ren Qi's eyes widened for a moment, he nodded with satisfaction.
"This is very risky, and even if you are not a master, you will never do it."
"So this is the path that suits us."
Yin Xiu smiled and pointed at her feet.
Under their feet was a rather low tunnel, perhaps due to soil erosion or other reasons.
Anyway, following this passage down, they arrived at the bottom of the cliff, or in other words, hanging on the cliff, walking on a dangerous path with only one foot under their feet.
It seems that a strong gust of wind is enough to cause danger.
However, this is for ordinary people. At this time, Yin Xiu and Ren Qi each used extremely strong finger strength to grasp a small gap in the rock wall that was as flat as the back of a knife, and stood firmly on it.
Their target was under the long bridge leading to the other side.
Only the bottom of the bridge is the place where no one is watching.
Yin Xiu took out a piece of steel wire from his pocket. At the other end of the steel wire was a small spear. With a shake of his hand, the spear plunged into the bottom of the bridge and embedded in the wooden board.
He took out two more short knives from his pocket and held them in his hands. Yin Xiu stood a little lower and jumped into the air. He grabbed the piece of steel wire and after spinning it in the air, the two short blades were inserted into the bottom of the bridge. Under the bridge.
Ren Qi also caught the wire and landed behind Yin Xiu with the same operation.
The two of them turned over in an upside-down position, with their bodies close to the bottom of the bridge and their backs facing the river. They used two short blades as crawling tools and moved to the other side step by step.
They use an exaggerated grip to control their movements, allowing them to hang underneath.
Yin Xiu moved forward patiently, hearing the strong wind blowing constantly from the valley. It seemed that if it was stronger, it would blow the two of them down.
But the strong wind also covered up the noise they made under the bridge, making them move faster.
Yin Xiu moved forward with all her heart, but suddenly heard something behind her. She didn't know when Ren Qi had stopped moving.
He turned his head and saw the back of Ren Qi's head facing him.
There was an extra person under the bridge.
He also hung under the bridge in the same posture as Yin Xiu and others, even sticking his whole body under the bridge, like a gecko clinging to the ceiling.
The man's palms were as big as two plates, red and swollen, like lizards.
Not only his hands, but also his head, face, and eyes were as strange as a lizard, giving people an uncomfortable feeling.
"One of the Five Poisons, Gecko Ai Qing."
Ren Qi recognized the person at once.
"Any commander has a good memory."
Ai Qing's voice was hoarse and sharp, as if he was scraping the glass with a knife, which made the eardrums hurt.
"I remember, when I entered the palace that year, I was led by you, Commander-in-Chief."
"Really? I don't remember." Ren Qifeng was very cold.
"You don't remember this, but you still remember my name, don't you?"
He laughed arrogantly, "That's what you said, as long as I reveal Master's whereabouts, you will let me and my junior sister go. You will only treat us as being coerced and not intending to rebel.
However, you lied to us and ruined everything for us! ”
As he said this, his expression changed, and his protruding eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes.
"You lied to me. According to your request, I confessed my master and had the whole Five Poison Sect beheaded. I thought this was enough. This was my great merit, enough to make me and Junior sister will have endless prosperity and wealth in the rest of her life
But you killed my junior sister!
I'm holding her body! She grew colder in my arms, and that look in her eyes clearly meant that she wanted to be with me in the next life, but you killed her! You took her away from me, Ren Qi!
That was my only love in the world, and I sacrificed everything for her! Abandoned everything! So you killed her! ”
There was a cry in his voice, with strong pain and unwillingness.
Yin Xiu also frowned upon hearing this and pushed Ren Qi, "It seems that this is your enemy too."
"It's none of my business!"
Ren Qi was rarely very angry. He said to Ai Qing on the other side: "Why should I kill your junior sister? Am I so bored and kill people every day for fun?
I'm not interested at all in that junior sister of yours who treats her like a treasure.
But I told her that you betrayed your fellow disciples, and the condition was that she should live with you. When she was rewarded, she committed suicide without hesitation. ”
"Impossible!"
Ai Qing's eyes wandered, "Why did she commit suicide? Junior sister likes me very much."
"That's not the case."
Ren Qi grabbed the dagger and seemed helpless.
"This is your illusion, Ai Qing. Who do you think you are? If you like others, others will like you?"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Ai Qing was very determined, "What do you know? Do you know what our previous relationship was like? Do you know the twists and turns and encounters between us?
You don’t know anything at all, but you are here to make a self-righteous judgment. Is this because you are looking for excuses for yourself, Ren Qi? Don't you dare face me! ”
Ren Qi lowered his hand, as if he was helpless, and seemed to be brewing something.
Yin Xiu watched from the side and only vaguely understood the ins and outs of it through the narration. However, at this time, he suddenly felt that Ren Qi seemed to be preparing something.
Of course he didn't know what Ren Qi was thinking, but a very uneasy throbbing arose in his heart.
Suddenly, Ren Qi's lowered hand was pointed at Ai Qing like a gun, resolute and sharp.
"Ai Qing! Why didn't she accept the gifts you gave her many times?
Why is it that every time you want to be alone with her, someone suddenly appears out of nowhere?
Why do you say there are always twists and turns between you two? When she saw you, she lowered her head? ”
Yin Xiu finally knew where the source of uneasiness was. He quickly reached out to grab Ren Qi, "Stop talking!"
However, it was too late, Ren Qi gradually laughed out loud.
"There is only one answer, and that is that she doesn't like you at all!
The lovely junior sister you regard as a treasure has never liked you from the beginning to the end. Every time she sees your face that is full of pimples and has no good features, she will be so disgusted that she can't eat!
So she would rather kill herself in front of me than be with you.
She feels that even death is better than being with you, Ai Qing! ”
Ai Qingling stayed where he was, seemingly petrified for a moment, motionless.
Yin Xiu took back her hand and sighed.
"Why do you have to speak so viciously? How about I say something fair, man."
Yin Xiu looked at Ai Qing sympathetically, "Although I am just a passerby and it has nothing to do with me, and I don't know the whole story, but I have to say something fair.
That is, maybe brother, you really have wrong intentions and wrong feelings. Even if your junior sister really likes you a little bit, or has a good impression of you, she is just pretending to kill herself with a sword.
The best swordsman in the world was right in front of her, but if she hesitated for a moment, Ren Qi would have already suppressed him.
However, her speed is so fast that even the famous Ren Qi can't stop her. There is only one possibility, and that is that others have never liked you from the beginning to the end! ”
"You lied!"
Ai Qing roared, his voice quickly covered by the wind in the canyon.
However, his body began to change drastically again.
His palms were swollen even more than before, swollen and bulging, like a corpse that had been soaked in water for several days.
However, his palms were red, and the weird redness spread to his skin, neck and face, and even his eyes were red.
As he took a big breath, bursts of white air came out of his body, mouth and nose, like a heated kettle, which was very frightening.
Gecko Ai Qing lives up to his name.
"This guy is crazy." Ren Qi sneered.
"Is he so powerful?"
Yin Xiu was just surprised.
"What's so great about it?"
Ren Qi still sneered, "That's why I said he went crazy. He went crazy after his junior sister died.
In order to pursue the realm of great martial arts, he cut off his own luck and relied on the luck of the Great Inner Forbidden Palace. In this life, he was just a slave who couldn't live without the Great Inner Forbidden Palace. ”
"That's it."
Ren Qi's words, coupled with Liu Banxian's previous discussion, Yin Xiu already understood why there were only two masters in the world, but they seemed to be everywhere in the Great Inner Forbidden Palace.
That's because these people may have been great masters outside the palace before, or they may have discovered the three secrets inside the palace, but they have one thing in common, that is, they can only be parasitic in the Great Inner Forbidden Palace. of luck.
Whether it was for the sake of martial arts, increasing their lifespan, or avoiding the erosion of time, they accepted the gifts of luck from the Forbidden Palace at different times and situations, and thus paid the price by being imprisoned by the Great Inner Forbidden Palace.
Not to mention leaving Yujing, even if they leave the Forbidden Palace and lose the protection of luck, I am afraid they will decline quickly.
The cold wind blew away some of the white air coming out of Ai Qing's body. However, at this time, the pores on his body became very obvious, even protruding, making people feel their scalp numb just by looking at it.
Ren Qi still kept one hand on the dagger and the other hand on the sword.
He turned his head slightly and said to Yin Xiu: "You go first, I will handle it here."
Yin Xiu has the [Shenxing Taibao], and it is much easier to move under this bridge than Ren Qi, whether it is movement or body skills.
However, if he was entangled by Ai Qing here at this time, everything would be very troublesome.
Yin Xiu's target should be the Black Emperor's son hiding in Qintian Prison, not the battle under the bridge.
A battle like this with Ai Qing, no matter how much he wins, is meaningless.
So Yin Xiu turned around without looking back.
"Find me after you win."
"Don't worry, it will be soon."
Ren Qi put his thumb on the hilt of the sword, looking relaxed.
"I greeted him in the past when I was in Ouchi. Although he relied on Ouchi's luck to find the three secret treasures, in my eyes, he is still the same gecko, and there is no change."< br>
"Well, then I'll wait for you at the place indicated before."
Yin Xiu thrust the dagger forward and swung it forward again.
When Ai Qing saw this, he immediately wanted to take action.
However, he only saw a cold light flickering from the scabbard.
"Ren Qi, you only have one sword and one hand left. Do you think you can stop me?"
Ren Qi sneered and stood behind Yin Xiu like a city wall to stop Ai Qing.
"To deal with you, one sword is enough." (End of Chapter)
