Chapter 55 Earth-shaking
According to the escape route planned in advance, earth escape, water escape, wood escape, use these three kinds of spells to travel through more than a dozen places.
Then Lu Cheng just randomly selected a place and hid Chen Tianxiong's Qiankun ring in a pile of rocks using the earth escape method.
Then he used Dharma fire to remove his night clothes and washed them away with the water.
After confirming that you remember this place, return to Wenjianzhai.
The night was cold, and all the disciples living in the sword hall had gone to bed.
Lu Cheng returned to the room alone, closed the door and exhaled a long breath.
All kinds of emotions and exhaustion came to my mind:
"Have I dealt with the end of my hand?"
"Will the City Patrol Department follow me?"
"Can Liu Baihong escape? Will he betray me?"
"Will Lin Qingyue betray us?"
Lu Cheng sat on the futon in the room and calmed down. Qi, watching the many thoughts and fears emerging in his heart.
It is precisely before you can calm your mind that you can calm your mind first.
Lu Cheng watched these thoughts. As time went by, these thoughts were refined one by one, turned into medicine, and incorporated into his mind.
When the Taoist on the futon opened his eyes again, the clear and fresh sunlight had already shone on his body, making him feel warm all over.
"Master, Master, it's time for breakfast!"
The voice coming from outside the door was the voice of He Guo.
A new day begins.
In the morning, sword hall.
Lu Cheng was sitting on a high futon as usual, reading a Taoist book. Below him were many disciples practicing swordsmanship.
“Xie Yan.”
“Master, did you call me?”
“Why didn’t Lin Qingxue come today?”
“Uh "Xie Yan turned around and looked at the team after hearing this, and then turned back and said:
"I don't know. She was fine yesterday. I will go to her house after class today."
"That's not necessary."
Of course Lu Cheng knew why Lin Qingxue didn't come. I just need to ask myself.
And the sword hall is different from the school in the previous life. As long as you pay Shu Xiu, you are free not to come. Anyway, ten spiritual stones a month.
Wenjianzhai does not care about food, but most of the disciples who can afford to go to this swordsmanship hall will not be short of a meal. They have half an hour of free time at noon, but these half-hours are allowed to The older kids had fun.
But today, when the children of Wenjianzhai Sword Hall were pouring out, they were blocked back by a group of guards from the City Patrol Department.
"Who is the Master Lin here?"
"I am Lin Lie."
Lu Cheng had expected this in his heart, but his expression still showed appropriateness. Confuse.
At this moment, Lu Cheng tried his best to keep his mind as calm as possible, and the Yinzhang Patrolman who walked out among the many patrols was a man with an ordinary face but eyes full of desire and ambition, staring into his eyes You can feel his eagerness.
"I'm Zhang Shou. I've heard the name of Master Lin Zhai for a long time."
"It's just a humble name"
"I heard that Master Lin Zhai has a close relationship with Liu Baihong?" He was smiling all over his face just a moment ago. Zhang Shou suddenly raised his head and stared directly into Lu Cheng's eyes.
“He is a man of real ability!”
Such a thought came to Lu Cheng’s mind.
"...Yi Sword Immortal Monkey Liu Baihong is the strongest swordsman I have ever encountered. Brother Liu and I hit it off like old friends."
If Lu Cheng did not have Zhishui's state of mind, then facing the Yin Zhang patrol in front of him If you use clichés, you will probably need to explain a few more sentences, but in this case, the more explanations you give, the more mistakes you will make.
"How much does Master Lin know about Liu Baihong?"
"...He is only one step away from completing the foundation building. After taking that step, his future will be limitless."
“Would you kill someone to help him?”
"Maybe, maybe not."
"You"
"Are you interrogating me as a prisoner?" The young Taoist suddenly frowned slightly, but the sharpness in his eyes dropped. In Zhang Shou's eyes.
Even the most ferocious criminal has never given this young silver medal patrol such great pressure:
It felt as if he had been suppressed by the swordsman in front of him. , cut off with one sword.
"...Of course not, it's just that Liu Baihong committed a major case yesterday. He and Your Excellency have a close relationship. Can I ask where you were last night?"
"After dinner last night, I was in the room. Why don't you come over here while you're practicing? You were practicing swordplay in the backyard last night. You should have seen me, right?"
"Well, yes, yesterday the master was meditating and practicing in his room as usual."
He Guo nodded without hesitation. The illusion that Lu Cheng cast with Chijun's divine power even He could point out his mistakes from afar, and with his cultivation level, he certainly couldn't tell anything unusual, and he certainly wasn't lying.
“Uh, can we go inside and check it out?”
Although he could see that He Guo was not lying, Zhang Shou, the Silver Guard Patrolman, had no intention of letting him off lightly and said this.
His response was another long silence.
"Haha, if Lord Lin Zhai minds"
"Let my disciples of the Sword Hall go out to eat, and I will only give you half an hour. Also, I hope I don't have to see Zhang Xun again in the future. "Shou."
"Hahahaha, Lord Lin, I'm really sorry. It's my duty."
To put it mildly, Zhang Shou led his men and used special magic weapons to search the entire Wenjian Studio inside and out.
If Lu Cheng had brought back the Qiankun Ring on Chen Tianxiong last night, he would have been caught today.
Now, of course, Zhang Shou and his men couldn't find anything.
Although it was the lunch break, many disciples of Wenjianzhai did not eat today. They gathered curiously and watched the city patrol officers searching everywhere.
"Master Lin, this Zhang Lang is ruthless and poisonous. You must be careful about him."
At this time, a disciple came to the side of Lu City and said this.
Lu Cheng looked sideways and saw that it was Wu Dayong, the son of Yinzhang Patrolman Wu Cheng. This boy had a tiger-like head and a tiger-like head with a mantis standing on his shoulder.
"Zhang Lang?" "Well, yes, my father said that this guy named Zhang is like a wolf, cruel and poisonous. Once bitten by him, he won't let go."
"From your father's description, this person is actually a capable and responsible official... It's a pity that his stance is different." Lu Cheng was just talking to himself, and of course no one could hear him clearly.
Half an hour later, Zhang Shou, who had found nothing, turned back with a wry smile on his face.
"Master Lin Zhai, I"
"Xunshou Zhang, I'm sorry to see you off so far."
Lu Cheng has been wielding swords in this city that never sleeps for more than half a year The hotel is no longer a rootless duckweed. As long as he doesn't commit any crimes, you really don't need to mind his little silver medal patrol.
Zhang Shou continued to smile bitterly upon hearing this, and then left with his men behind him.
But the moment he walked out of Wenjianzhai, all the smiles on his face disappeared.
At this time, a bronze medal patrolman beside him came over and said:
"Brother Zhang, this surnamed Lin is quite suspicious. He has a grudge against Chen Tengjiao, Liu Baihong If you want to kill Chen Tianxiong, he will definitely help, so why don’t we just leave like this?”
“He’s not lying, I’m sure of that.”
“Could it be an illusion?”< br>
"Master Lin Zhai of Wenjian Zhai is famous in the Evernight City for his forty-nine Tianyan swords. I have never heard anyone say that he is good at illusion. Could it be that he has never used his full strength before?"
For Lin Lie , Zhang Shou only had some suspicions because of the existing evidence. The entire south building was almost burned to ashes. Except for the ruins of the wall where it was written: "Murderer Liu Baihong", there were not many clues left.
Lin Qingyue was seriously injured and nearly burned to ashes if she had not been rescued by her servants. Even now, she was seriously injured and poisoned, and it would be difficult for her to wake up in a short time.
Liu Baihong has started searching the whole city, but it is almost impossible to dig him out in a city with a population of one million when he has tried his best to hide him. .
Because the incident involved the Ranmushan Lin family, the city patrol department was now under great pressure, so his superiors sent Zhang Shou out. If the case was completed, a gold medal might be awarded to him.
However, in just six months after the establishment of the Wenjian Palace behind him, many disciples from well-established families were included, and the relationship was already intricate. It would only be enough if there was sufficient evidence. Without evidence, the superiors would not be able to withstand it.
Since this period of time, Lu Cheng has also begun to gradually recruit more disciples, all of whom are children of some immortal cultivating families and the families of officials in the Nightless City.
I made it clear before I came in that it would be difficult to take care of those who come in through such an expansion. However, many children from aristocratic families come in and are not swordsmen at all, and they make friends and form relationships with each other, paving the way for their future business careers.
In fact, these people are not suitable for the righteous sword, nor are they suitable for the magic sword. On the contrary, they are very careful and suitable for the strange sword path taught by Lu Cheng.
These disciples exerted great power in this matter, so that Zhang Shou was under pressure and did not dare to touch Wenjianzhai easily again.
The power at the bottom is the power at the top; and sometimes, the power at the middle level can be terrifying when combined.
"With the atmosphere of the city that never sleeps, how could Chen Tianxiong of the Swordsmanship Hall cause such a big fuss? In the whole city, even the patrols entering the city these days have begun to post notices to inspect and arrest Liu Baihong. I am afraid that when Chen Tianxiong is alive None of them have such a status.”
Lu Cheng until now. Days later, everyone still remembers what Tang Shi said to him before entering the city that never sleeps:
"If you kill someone in this city that never sleeps, as long as you are not caught on the spot by the law enforcement team, it is not considered a murder. Of course, if someone kills you, it will not be considered a murder." Same.”
Now, this is obviously not the case.
Or maybe the Nightless City has not changed, but he has overlooked something...
"It's the Qiankun Ring. Is there anything particularly important in it? Chen Tianxiong is a late-stage foundation-building monk, what else can he have? A rare treasure? "
Lu Cheng was confused, but time passed like this day after day.
Although the city-wide manhunt was not over yet, Zhang Shou's attention was obviously on the arrest of Liu Baihong, and he did not come too much to Wenjianzhai.
But it was also the ninth day of the assassination of Chen Tianxiong.
The originally cloudless sky suddenly changed.
Gray black clouds swept in from the horizon. In the clouds, which were like black tides, there were giant snakes, centipedes, scorpions, bloody mosquitoes, toads, and bats.
These twelve black qi each instigated a tide of gray and black clouds, which gathered from all directions, and then four golden lights fell from high in the sky, surrounding the city that never sleeps.
The four golden lights each condensed into a Taoist with different costumes. The Taoist in golden clothes in the southeast raised his hand and threw a formation diagram downwards.
The formation map was spinning in the void, expanding bigger and bigger, and finally, it seemed to envelope the entire city that never sleeps below and descend.
"The formation of resentment and poison from heaven and earth rises!"
With the infusion of mana by the twelve Ningsha monks and the guidance and urging of the four Liangang Taoists, the entire city that never sleeps seemed to be trapped in a ghost prison in the blink of an eye. The sky and the earth became dark.
“Bugs, so many bugs!”
“Ah, ah, ah, ah!”
The place shrouded in the shadow of heaven and earth, it seems that countless insects are born in the shadow People standing in the light where the shadows have not yet covered the poisonous insects can see that the people in the shadows seem to have suddenly gone crazy. They start scratching themselves crazily, rolling around, trying to shake off the poisonous insects crawling around them. , but it looks like there is nothing.
However, a moment later, black blood flowed out of the man's seven orifices and he died of poisoning.
Seeing this terrifying and strange scene, the mortals and even the monks in the Nightless City felt terrified.
Wenjianzhai is also covered by dark clouds.
Wenjianzhai is full of monks, and they are far more alert than ordinary people. At this moment, Xie Yan looked at the scene in the distance, turned around and said eagerly:
"Master?"
What's more, Yu Liang and even other disciples are also anxious. The shadow was moving faster and faster.
锵.
It was at this moment that Lu Cheng flicked the sword at his side.
As the sound of the sword passed by, in the backyard of Wenjianzhai, the statue of the Red Heart God suddenly became brighter, and the red light spread, gathering Lu Cheng's mental power to form a legal domain, forming a knot with the entire Wenjianzhai as the center. boundary.
Even though the strange shadow shrouded it, nothing happened within the barrier.
"The sect, which is a giant in the demonic way, often sets up killing formations and takes the lives of thousands of people. I have seen it today."
Protecting Wenjianzhai, Lu Cheng did not show any joy. He raised his head and looked up into the sky, only to see dozens of figures in the turbulent black tide, casting cold and alienated gazes downward, treating all living beings like grass, mustard and cuddling dogs.
This is the power of Xiu on Burning Wood Mountain.
In the city that never sleeps, humans and immortals live together. Many people have some means of defense and self-rescue. However, as the formation continues to be refined, its power increases. If no one stops it, the hatred of the world in this burning wood mountain will The Po Ten Thousand Poison Formation can really wipe out all the millions of creatures in this city.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for a golden mirror-shaped magical instrument to rise in the center of the city that never sleeps. There were various magical instruments such as harp, zither, sword, and cauldron. Rising up everywhere in the city, forming a cascading golden glow, covering the entire city from the inside out.
The city that was already in a state of madness gradually calmed down.
The city protection formation, the eight-scenery golden light formation.
At the same time, twelve figures flew into the sky from the city that never sleeps, facing the sixteen monks in the evil aura of the black cloud.
The Council of Elders, Five Elders and Seven Souvenirs.
The monks of the top sects and major sects have two steps of condensing evil and refining the sword. Because of their tempered character and inheritance of skills, outstanding figures among them often achieve success overnight in a short period of time.
But for cultivating forces like Evernight City and Burning Wood Mountain, the two steps of Condensing Evil and Refining Gang may not match each other, and they often stay in a certain state for many years or even a lifetime.
