Chapter 867 Liu Qing
The girl in golden clothes shouted several times in succession, but there was no movement outside the attic.
"Strange! There are obviously patrol guards of the Fengwu Army nearby. Logically speaking, they should have rushed over immediately when they heard my cry for help. Why is there still no one there yet?"
The girl was filled with surprise and uncertainty. When she looked at the figure sitting motionless in front of her, she felt something strange inside and out.
Just half a day ago, she had already met this man in the Kuzen Temple in the barren hills outside the city.
Lin Yue, who always liked to show off his martial arts in front of him, broke his right arm when this man stood still. This shows the depth of the "internal strength" of this man in gray.
And at that time, he already knew that he was a descendant of the royal family, which made her have to suspect that this person came specifically for her.
The man in gray has appeared in the palace again after not seeing him for half a day!
"You, you, who are you? What's the purpose of sneaking into the palace?" The girl barely calmed down and asked.
However, her slightly stuttering tone still revealed her nervousness at the moment.
At this moment, the man in gray who had been sitting still suddenly sighed, then turned around and asked:
"What's your name?"
"I"
The girl wanted to say, "Why should I tell you?", but when she met the man's eyes and saw the man's deep gaze, she had a feeling for no reason. I feel that I should not deceive the person in front of me no matter what.
“My name is Liu Qing.”
As soon as the words came out, she felt strange, how could she reveal her real name to a stranger?
After hearing this, the man in gray nodded and said: "What a good name. Liu Zihan will have a granddaughter like you, and I will have no regrets in heaven."
"You know my grandfather. ?”
Liu Qing’s eyes were wide open, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Of course she didn’t think that this person would be the same person as her grandfather, but she just thought that he should have heard some secrets about the palace.
After all, Liu Zihan in history was just a flash in the pan. Now more than fifty years later, he is rarely mentioned anymore. The only one remembered by everyone is Liu Wanrou, the "Emperor Wu'an".
Facing her question, the man in gray just smiled and did not answer.
Liu Qing is not stupid either. He was a little scared at first, but now he has gradually calmed down. Although I still don't know why Feng Wujun hasn't come yet, the man in front of me obviously has no ill intentions towards him.
Otherwise, with his high martial arts skills, he would have been a dead body by now.
Now that he knew that the other party would not harm him, Liu Qing's mind gradually became more active. This person didn't look like an assassin, nor did he come for the Liu royal family. Instead, he sneaked into the Xianhuang Palace alone and silently, so there was only one possibility.
Liu Qing tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked tentatively:
"Do you know the late emperor?"
This time, the man in gray finally responded, and he was slightly nodded.
"Do you really know the late emperor?!"
Liu Qing said with excitement: "Although the late emperor was a woman, her literary skills, Taoist and military skills were not inferior to those of men, which has always been in Qing'er's heart. The most admired person! And she never married. Eh? Wait, are you?"
She looked Liang Yan up and down, with a strange look on her face, and then said: "Impossible, it is said that the late emperor had already had a crush on him, and the age difference between you and her is too big. Although it is said that the late emperor was ninety-five There is nothing wrong with finding a young man to bring into the harem, but I have never heard of any man she has a serious eye for.”< br>
After hearing this, the man in gray calmly shook his head and said: "She and I have only met a few times, and they are all in the past."
This is his first meeting since entering the palace. When he spoke for the second time, his voice was low and slightly hoarse. It was very different from the high-spirited voice in Kuchen Temple. Liu Qing couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Although this person's tone was neither happy nor sad, Liu Qing still noticed a hint of sadness in it.
"It seems that Qing'er guessed it wrong." Liu Qing sighed and said: "The late emperor was a literary and military man, but unfortunately he was trapped in love all his life. It is said that she once had a crush on someone in her early years, and this person It stays in her heart for a lifetime.”
As she spoke, she pointed to the statue in front of her and said: "The late emperor was already over sixty years old when he cast this statue. Although she has good looks, she cannot withstand the erosion of time even at this age. But she must be Do you know why the craftsmen were asked to cast this statue according to her appearance when she was young?"
"Why?" the man in gray asked.
"Because this is how she looked when she reunited with her sweetheart for the first time after becoming an adult. At that time, she was still 'Princess Qinwan', and she was also wearing this goose-yellow dress. The late emperor firmly believed that his sweetheart Will come back to see her and cast this statue The statue is just that I don’t want my loved one to see my aging state, and I want his memory to stay as the most beautiful self forever.”
As Liu Qing spoke, he suddenly realized that the man in gray in front of him There was a little tear in the corner of his eyes.
“Why is this person like a child, crying whenever he wants to?”
Liu Qing muttered, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart, and thought to herself: "I have regarded the late emperor as the person I admired the most since I was a child. Sometimes I can't help crying when hearing about her past, but this man in front of me He has never appeared beside the late emperor, why are there so many of them? Sentimental?"
This strange feeling made her a little more curious about the man in gray in front of her, and she couldn't help but ask: "Where did you and the late emperor meet? Since he is willing to sneak into the palace alone just to see her portrait , it can’t be just a casual acquaintance, right?”
At this moment, the man in gray had regained his composure. Hearing this, he shook his head, and instead of answering her question, he asked:
"You are a majestic princess of a country, why do you secretly Sneaking into the Former Emperor's Palace?"
Liu Qing's face froze when he asked, and then he sighed: "After the emperor's brother ascended the throne, the Emperor's Palace was listed as a forbidden area in the palace, unless he ordered it. Otherwise no one is allowed in. ”
"Since this is a forbidden area of the palace, why do you still come?" the man in gray asked again.
Liu Qing's face suddenly looked a little weird, and he said hesitantly: "Well, didn't I miss the late emperor too much? I haven't seen her for a long time, so I ran in secretly."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the man in gray with a guilty conscience. , but saw a hint of a smile on the other person's face, and said: "I'm afraid it's not for this reason, right?"
When Liu Qing came into contact with the other person's gaze, Liu Qing felt that there was no secret in his heart. It can be said that nothing seems to be hidden from the eyes of the person in front of him. "Okay. Actually, I'm here to find martial arts secrets." Liu Qing confessed.
"Practice martial arts?" The man in gray asked curiously: "Don't you want to study literature with Wang Mohan, one of the seven great talents? Why would you want to practice martial arts again?"
"You don't know something." Liu Qingtan He took a breath and said: "I am interested in learning literature, but I have no choice but to learn martial arts."
As soon as she said this, the man in gray frowned and said lightly: "You As a princess, who else Dare to force you?”
“I’m not the imperial master yet!”
Liu Qing said angrily: “Since the great monk became the imperial master three years ago, the emperor has I don’t know what my obsession is, but I will listen to his opinions on all matters big and small. Recently, I have become obsessed with seeking immortality. I build an altar of heaven and earth outside the city and go out of the city to pray for blessings every few months.”
< br>
"The most irritating thing is that this bald donkey suggested to the emperor that he choose my consort through a competition, and the time was set in two days, and my emperor actually agreed!"
" Winning the first prize in a martial arts competition? What a joke. How can marriage be such a trivial matter?" the man in gray said coldly.
“Right, right? You think this is a joke too, but my brother, I don’t know what kind of ecstasy was given to him, and he actually agreed!”
Liu Qing seemed to After finding his confidant, he continued: "The most important thing is that this bald donkey also sent his great disciple Shen Xiuwen to compete. This man is sanctimonious and a beast in clothes, but he has great martial arts skills. , almost no one is his opponent to win this competition."
After hearing this, the man in gray nodded and said: "As the saying goes, it is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself. There are martial arts secrets left by her in the palace of the late Emperor. That’s why you took the risk and sneaked in here, hoping to find quick martial arts, and then go to that arena yourself after you learn it, so that no one who competes can marry you?”
Liu Qing was convinced by what he had said to her, and she no longer hesitated. She nodded and admitted: "Although the late Emperor was a woman, her martial arts skills were unparalleled in ancient and modern times. It is said that she received elixirs, magic weapons and secret books from others in her early years. These things are kept in the Emperor's Palace, so I came here to try my luck."
After hearing this, the man in gray suddenly burst into laughter:
“You girl, how can there be any martial arts in the world that can be quickly mastered in a few days? Even her martial arts Not even the secret book."
He smiled for a while and then waved to Liu Qing, gesturing for her to come closer.
Liu Qing was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked over obediently and sat down in front of him.
The man in gray clothes put a hand on her wrist. After a long time, he said leisurely: "Sure enough, Tianyan Forty-Nine, there is still a escape one. I didn't expect that after a thousand years, the Liu family would have a false spiritual root!"
"Pseudo spiritual roots? What are pseudo spiritual roots?" Liu Qing opened his eyes wide and asked curiously.
However, the man in gray shook his head and asked: "Do you want to defeat that Shen Xiuwen?"
"Of course you do, I don't want to marry him!"
Liu Qing pouted, and as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she shook her head again. Said: "But that man is really powerful. His 'Three Skills of Fighting, Fighting, Demons and Falling' have been practiced to the point of proficiency. Even if several great masters from the Yue Kingdom's martial arts come here, I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat him within a hundred moves." He, let alone my three-legged cat’s kung fu.”
"Hmph, it's just three magic tricks, how can you say that!" The man in gray snorted coldly: "I will teach you a method. You only need to practice according to the law, and you will be able to defeat this person in two days."
< br>Liu Qing's face lit up when he heard this, but then he asked suspiciously: "Is there really such a quick method? My kung fu skills are in the martial arts world." I am not good at it. What kind of martial arts skills can allow me to fight against a master like Shen Xiuwen in two days?”
The man in gray laughed loudly: “The martial arts I taught you are not the same. Learn kung fu! "
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pressed it directly on the top of Liu Qing's head.
Liu Qing was shocked. Before she could react, she felt a warm current pouring from the palm of her hand into the Baihui point on her head, and then along the meridians in her body towards her limbs. After dispersing, in just a moment, a burning pain was felt in the body!
"Ah!"
Liu Qing snorted miserably. Just when she couldn't bear it anymore and was about to faint, another stream of clear water came continuously from the other party's palm, making her forehead feel cold. , the burning pain in the body gradually dissipated.
At the same time, a vague aura began to gather in her Dantian. Liu Qing was shocked because this kind of breath was so unfamiliar, and it was very different from the internal power she had accumulated from practicing internal skills before.
Although she is just a beginner in martial arts, she can still tell that the aura in her dantian at this moment is not the internal power of any sect at all.
At this time, Liu Qing had already vaguely felt that the man in gray clothes in front of him was probably not an ordinary person.
"Could this be the legendary Yijin Marrow Cleansing? Could it be that he wants to teach it to me?"
Liu Qing felt excited for a while. Although she was a princess, she often sneaked out of the city. I haven’t read those street talk books. For example, when a martial arts master of a certain generation passed away, he passed on his lifelong skills to the destined person. The person who was passed on the skills would fly like a dragon and reach the sky in one step!
When she thought of this, she suddenly felt sad again. She looked at the face of the man in front of her and thought to herself: "What a pity. Did he get some incurable disease at such a young age? According to the plot in the storybook , he will die after he teaches me the power. It's a pity to see him so young and pretty handsome."
Before Liu Qing could finish the messy thoughts in his mind, he suddenly felt a sense of relief all over his body, and a steady stream of clear water flowed through his body. He stopped, and the palm on his head also withdrew.
“Huh? Is this the end?”
Liu Qing was a little puzzled, because the aura in her dantian at this moment was just like a small insect, which was far from the vast internal power she expected.
"Master, is this all over?" Liu Jing couldn't help but ask: "With this little insect-like inner strength, can I beat Shen Xiuwen in two days?"
< br>The man in gray ignored her, but like a magic trick, he took out a bamboo slip from somewhere and threw it directly in front of her.
“There are three secret techniques and a mental formula in the bamboo slips. After returning home, practice the secret technique during the day and meditate according to the mental method at night. After two days, you will see the results.”
< br>Liu Jing was slightly startled when she heard this. She reached out and picked up the bamboo slips. Then she opened her mouth again, as if she wanted to ask a question.
However, the man in gray clothes in front of him seemed to have lost interest. He waved his hand and said:
"You can leave."
Thanks: Ying Yuefeng for the reward!
