Chapter 122 Infiltration
Wu Hao pouted, but after a while he couldn't help but smile on his face: "Do you believe that I am a swordsman now?"
Li Wuxiang nodded and followed him for a while: "Oh, no, it shouldn't be Senior Brother Wu, but Junior Brother Wu. Junior Brother Wu, but is the matter different from what you said? Senior Brother Lou said, but it has never been I never thought about asking you to be an informant in Coffin City.”
Wu Hao laughed twice: "What's the difference? There's no difference, right? I knew that when things got to this point, he had to recognize me. What kind of discrepancy is this? Can't I figure it out myself?"
His voice was not soft when he spoke, but he looked very proud at this moment. He held his head high and pressed the hilt of the knife when he walked, but he didn't look suspicious. The monks passing by him would glance at him briefly, then frown and go back to their own business.
Li Wuxiang followed him with a timid look and sighed: "That is to say, Senior Brother Lou did meet you several times and did tell you about the Swordsman, but he never said that he really wanted to call you You are a swordsman, and I didn’t ask you to save him. This time, you are the one making the decision?”
Wu Hao turned to look at him: "I said you are still testing me, right?"
"No, I just think you are brave and careful. Senior Brother Lou didn't ask you to do this, but you can tell at a glance that we are swordsmen."
Wu Hao smiled slightly and turned away. But after walking a few steps, he still couldn't help but say: "Actually, I've tried it several times. The first few groups of dealers looked suspicious, and I asked them the same question, which scared the shit out of them. Haha, it's you this time. You couldn’t hold it any longer, so you asked me to try it out right away. You see, we have fought once, so you are completely defeated, right?”
Li Wuxiang smiled: "We shouldn't say 'you', we should say 'we'."
"Yes, yes, we are all in the same sect now, haha, then I won't care about what happened before." Wu Hao took a long breath, "Then what should we do now? How can we get people tonight?" < br>
"I have a general idea, but I have to discuss it with them after I go back. I should ask you to take us here again in the evening."
"Tell me first, and let's discuss it first."
Li Wuxiang just smiled slightly: "Junior Brother Wu, actually you haven't officially joined the sect. To join our Sword Sect, you must first go through some tests and experience to see what this person's ability and character are like - this time saving Lou Senior brother, even after the test and experience, if you follow us outside, you still have to meet a swordsman and help that swordsman do this before you can go to Youjiu. Yuan.”
Wu Hao frowned and thought for a while: "Then...what were you asked to do in the first place?"
"I killed a walking member of the True Form Cult."
Wu Hao was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned to look at him and paused for a moment.
After taking a few more steps, his face looked less happy than before, and he became silent.
Li Wuxiang looked at him: "You have never killed anyone?"
"Whoever is nice would kill someone. But it doesn't matter. Do you think I don't dare to do it?"
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." The two of them walked out of the Mountain Lord's mansion and returned to the streets of Coffin City. At this time, the sky was getting dark and lights were on in every house. The lights are also different from Deyang - at night in Deyang, the lights on the roadside are dim and dim, but the people in Coffin City don't seem to care about the money for candles, lamps and oil, and they are brighter, which actually makes Li Wuxiang feel a little bit like he was in his previous life. .
By the time they returned to the mountain, it was completely dark. There was no one on the stone slope where Wu Hao was interrogated before. Li Wuxiang asked Wu Hao to wait here for a while, and he sat down and looked at the lights of Coffin City from here.
After a quarter of an hour, Zeng Jianqiu and two other swordsmen strode out of the forest: "No one is following you. Have you seen Senior Brother Lou?"
"Yeah. I told him to fish him out tonight."
Zeng Jianqiu was stunned: "Tonight?"
Li Wuxiang pointed at Wu Hao: "We were too cautious before. Senior Brother Lou never said anything about asking Junior Brother Wu to be a swordsman, but this is something he has to do himself, and he is doing it very well now. I have a Idea——"
He looked at the other two people and then at Wu Hao.
Wu Hao sighed and raised his hands: "Okay, I'll go further."
When he retreated to the edge of the rock slope, Li Wuxiang spoke again: "Ask him to take us there at night. It's best if nothing happens. If something happens, as long as you three can force back the people who came to stop us, I can bring him back." Let’s take them all out.”
Zeng Jianqiu frowned: "How to take it out?"
"I met Zhao Puppet again in Deyang. I got a good thing from him. It can be done, but I can't say much about it now. I asked Senior Brother Lou in Coffin City and heard what he said Of those, I think this shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Pan Muyun opened his mouth, but only said: "How sure are you?"
"Sixty to seventy percent."
The three swordsmen looked at each other, and Zeng Jianqiu nodded: "That's enough. Okay, I'll do as you say."
This made Li Wuxiang be silent for a while before he said: "Okay."
In his heart, he feels that the trust between swordsmen is a little too much. He even wonders if there are only about a hundred swordsmen today, maybe it is partly related to this trust.
But the next moment he thought, if there was no such trust, there might not even be a hundred swordsmen today.
However, there is no contradiction between "trust" and "caution". Zeng Jianqiu spoke highly of himself to Pan Muyun before. Did he think he was trustworthy enough, or was he cautious enough? Li Wuxiang thought about it and suddenly felt that among swordsmen, the evaluation of "ill-intentioned" might not necessarily be derogatory. It might be much better if there were more people with "evil intentions" like me.
For nearly half an hour, the three swordsmen were talking to Wu Hao, and they were very congenial. Li Wuxiang sat aside and listened quietly.
Naturally, most of the people mentioned are Lou He. From their conversation, Li Wuxiang learned more about Senior Brother Lou.
It sounds like he is very similar to me, the kind with "evil intentions". If Jian Zong is regarded as a class, the three of them, Senior Brother Lou, Zeng Jianqiu, and myself, obviously belong to the class with good grades but like to be naughty and mischievous.
Pan Muyun felt that Senior Brother Lou was often too risky when doing things, while Zeng Jianqiu felt that most swordsmen were a bit rigid and timid in their actions. When talking about the rise, I even commented on the current leader of the Sword Sect, Jiang Jie. He felt that since Youjiuyuan was destroyed by the Six Mysterious Sects hundreds of years ago, the new leader Jiang seemed to be frightened and almost stopped calling. People set foot in the parish. As a result, most of the Sword Sect's understanding of the Six Mysterious Sects only existed hundreds of years ago.
Li Wuxiang was not talking about leadership behind their backs with them, but he was even more curious about You Jiuyuan - neither Zeng Jianqiu nor Pan Muyun, who was more conservative, seemed to think there was anything wrong with saying this. What was the atmosphere in You Jiuyuan like? of?
He also chimed in for a few chats and brought the topic back to Coffin City. He gradually felt that Coffin City was actually more similar to the city where he came from. Wu Hao said that there were no scavengers in the city, but it seemed that it was because of the residents in the city. Shops are all responsible for cleaning in front of their own homes. If the neighborhood is too dirty, they will be punished by the police.
A similar point is that you cannot throw away the debris after cleaning. Instead, someone will collect it every ten days and throw it away outside the city. Speaking of this, Wu Hao was still unconvinced by Li Wuxiang's evaluation in the afternoon. He said that the reason why he felt that the streets were not very clean when he entered the city was because tomorrow was the end of the tenth day. Wait until the day after tomorrow to ensure the perception. It will be very different. In this way, several people talked, took turns to watch the night, and caught up on their sleep for a while, and it was almost Yin time.
As Zeng Jianqiu and Wu Hao said, the Coffin City is actually quite lively after dark. The residents of Coffin City actually have only one responsibility, which is to serve the practitioners in the city.
Since there are few practitioners, there will naturally be some needs at night. The residents in the city are physically strong and live a carefree life, but they are not very peaceful at night. So when Wu Hao led four people carrying burdens and entered the city again, they could still see some food stalls, scattered passers-by, and even some town soldiers who drank and staggered on the street. .
This time they did not take the original route, but from the west of the city to the Mountain Lord's Mansion. When they reached a deserted alley, they put down their burdens and got ready. They no longer swaggered on the road, but used the cover of night shadows to walk past the walls and among the trees.
Soon I saw the Mountain Lord's Mansion brightly lit in the night.
The five of them were on the hillside covered with ancient trees in front of the Mountain Lord's Mansion, close to the road leading to the front door.
There were also people coming and going on the road at this time - some were the monks' servants in green clothes, and some seemed to be merchants in the city, delivering things to the mansion. The five of them stayed in the darkness for a while before Li Wuxiang said: "Wu Hao, go out and show your face."
Wu Hao was stunned: "Aren't you going with me?"
Li Wuxiang patted him on the back: "Let's go together. But now you go out and show your face first, and then come back. Wait, then someone over there comes over, and then you go out from here."
What Li Wuxiang was talking about was a servant carrying a wooden box in his hand. He didn't know if it was a food box or something else. Wu Hao frowned: "At this time, I crawled out of the forest and came back again? Don't you think it's suspicious?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Li Wu smiled at him: "Just listen to me."
Wu Hao wanted to speak, but Li Wuxiang pushed him from behind: "Go!"
Wu Hao was caught off guard and staggered a few steps out of the forest onto the road, startling the servant. When he saw clearly that he was dressed like a soldier, he frowned and glared at him, walked around him and continued walking into the house. .
Wu Hao stood on the road and looked around, then reached out to touch his belt, looking as if he had just relieved himself in the forest, then frowned and hissed, holding his stomach before running back.
As soon as he entered the forest, he immediately lowered his voice: "What are you doing?"
Li Wuxiang grabbed his hand and then Zeng Jianqiu's hand: "Senior Brother Pan, Senior Brother Helian, put your hands on me, hold on tightly and don't let go. I will move soon."
It was dark in the forest, but Li Wuxiang could see clearly that the three people were stunned. But after a moment of hesitation, he didn't ask any more questions and just did as he said.
"What do you want to do?" Zeng Jianqiu lowered his voice, "You can't—" in Coffin City
The next moment, Li Wuxiang suddenly jumped towards the road on the gentle slope. Several people felt that there seemed to be something in front of them, and they were already standing in the middle of the road.
But I also saw something else - an extremely twisted and weird building enshrining the statue of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Li Wuxiang let go of his hand and let out a breath: "Don't wander around, just stay with me. Now you are in one of my treasures. It may be dangerous to wander around, but people outside can't see us now." ”
Wu Hao opened his mouth slightly, still in a daze. Zeng Jianqiu looked around: "Isn't this what you're doing?"
"No."
"What about now, can you use this thing to save Senior Brother Lou?"
Li Wuxiang was silent for a while: "Brother, I'm afraid we can't save you tonight."
"...What do you mean?"
Li Wuxiang sighed, sat cross-legged on the road, and looked towards the door of the Mountain Lord's Mansion: "I hope I guessed wrong. Don't be anxious, let's wait for a while."
Zeng Jianqiu was stunned for a while, and then his face slowly fell. Watching Li Wuxiang open his mouth, but still closed it, he also sat next to him.
This "a while" didn't last long. About a quarter of an hour later, a monk in monastic robes walked out from the door of the Mountain Lord's Mansion. He seemed to be wandering around and walked until he was in front of the five people before he stood down.
He looked to be in his thirties, with slender eyebrows, slender eyes, and a slender face, but there were wrinkles on his brows. It's probably because he has been frowning for a long time, and he doesn't seem to have a very good temper. He looked around and walked into the forest again - exactly where Wu Hao was pushed out just now.
He also looked carefully on the ground and saw fallen grass. He looked at the surrounding trees again and raised his hand to move the branches.
Then, he pressed his palm down slightly, and an invisible air wave turned into a breeze and rustled through the forest, shaking the debris on the roadside.
The monk raised his face slightly, closed his eyes, stood still for a moment, put his hands behind his back, and walked back to the mountain lord's mansion along the road.
Li Wuxiang turned around and saw the expressions of Zeng Jianqiu and Wu Hao - Zeng Jianqiu's mouth was slightly open, staring at the monk's back, his eyes wide. Wu Hao looked even more surprised. When he saw Li Wuxiang looking at him, he immediately took three steps back: "No, I, I'm not..."
"Well, I know it's not you." Li Wuxiang nodded, sighed and looked at Zeng Jianqiu, "Brother, do you recognize that person?"
Zeng Jianqiu sat still and remained silent for a while before saying: "That's Lord Wu Shan. Li Wuxiang, Lou He..."
"I guessed it before, so I came here to take a look. But now there is also a possibility that someone else heard me when I was talking to him."
Zeng Jianqiu suddenly sneered: "With his previous cultivation and knowledge, this is impossible."
He slowly stood up and patted his chest a few times: "Tell me! How did you see it? Why didn't you tell us before?"
