Chapter 12 A figure as tall as night
This killer has passed the second level of marrow cleansing and qi refining, and has half a foot stepped into the first level. At this moment, if he has a clear understanding between life and death, the sword he throws is a bit more devastating than before. After the situation, he was able to wield a sword and kill people with style.
If he could survive and escape this time, he would most likely have broken through the first natural barrier on the road to cultivation and completely entered the first realm without having to leave half of his body in refining qi.
Thinking of this, the killer's eyes, which were dark due to his injuries, became brighter.
laugh!
The sound of the air being torn apart sounded clearly, and in an instant, the green light came to Lin Wanyi again.
There was still no fear in Lin Wanyi's eyes.
The initial sword didn't bring any fear to her. Even if this sword was stronger than before, how could it shake her mind?
She calmly thought about what treasures she had on her body that could withstand such a sword-killing blow and allow her to survive.
The problem is that she naturally relaxed after returning home yesterday and put the protective treasures she usually carried with her on the table in the study room. This time she came to see Gu Zhuo, thinking that it was just a casual chat. When we met at home, we didn’t pay much attention to this.
She never imagined that she would meet a killer at home and fall into this absurd and desperate situation.
Thinking about these things and looking for any glimmer of hope that might exist... Lin Wanyi had to be sure that he did not have such a treasure on his body at this moment.
As for Gu Zhuo, she didn't think that the opponent could hit the sword again to defeat the green light. This was not contempt or anything else, but a judgment purely based on his realm.
So...it seems really hard for her to survive.
After all, it was impossible for Gu Zhuo to stand in front of her and block the sword for her. Even if such a thing happened, the final result would probably be death together, that's all.
Lin Wanyi no longer thought about it.
She looked at the increasingly clear green light and the faint shadow of the sword hidden in it, and began to work hard to find a suitable angle, preparing to splash the opponent's blood as much as possible.
At this moment, a tall figure appeared in front of the girl.
The morning light created by the sword light dissipated completely.
Lin Wanyi's eyes were completely dark.
Like night coming again.
But why is this night so peaceful?
Thoughts last but a moment.
Bang!
A loud noise fell into Lin Wanyi's ears, deafening.
She frowned, opened her eyes as wide as she could, and looked carefully at everything in front of her, but she couldn't see the tip of the sword that should have come out of her body, only the tall figure in black.
Still Gu Zhuo.
……
……
"This thing is really valuable."
Gu Zhuo sighed, with undisguised regret in his voice.
Lin Wanyi walked out from behind him, and after confirming that the killer had left, he turned his head and looked over.
Then, she was stunned.
"What you used to block the sword...how could it be this?"
"I'm unarmed. I can't block your sword with my body, right? What's the difference between that and seeking death?"
Gu Zhuo felt so unexplained.
Lin Wanyi was speechless, looking at the wooden box in his hand and the slight cracks spreading in dots on it, his mood became increasingly complicated.
Yes, this is the wooden box she handed to Gu Zhuo yesterday to store the Tan Ye Talisman.
Not even a day passed before she saved her life.
Could it be that this is the so-called cause and effect?
"I don't quite understand."
She looked at Gu Zhuo and asked seriously: "Why do you carry this thing with you?"
Gu Zhuo shook his head, pointed to the chair placed in the corridor, and said: "I slept there yesterday. Before I went to bed, I was studying the Tanye Talisman. You came here before I even had time to clean up."
Lin Wanyi was silent for a while and then asked: "So what did you mean by what you just said?"
"Which sentence?"
"As for its value...you don't want to sell this wooden box for money, do you?"
"I did think so."
"Don't think so now?" "Yeah."
"Why?"
Gu Zhuo was a little speechless and said: "This wooden box is now like this. It won't be worth much if you sell it. Wouldn't it be better to keep it?"
As he finished speaking, rain suddenly fell from the sky.
Lin Wanyi was speechless again.
She was really embarrassed, so she raised her hand to wipe away the makeup-like blood splashed on the side of her face, pretending that she was busy with something, and then said: "A killer has appeared where a killer should not be. It shows that there are huge problems with this assassination.”
Gu Zhuo looked at the blood remaining between her fingers and said, "Do you have a clue?"
"A little, not much."
Lin Wanyi felt a little more relaxed, and turned to look out the door, watching the rain getting heavier and heavier, seeing the raindrops falling to the ground and splashing into mist, her vision getting worse and worse, and she couldn't help but frown.
She said: "But guesses are just guesses after all. Sufficient evidence must be produced for things like this, but it happened to rain heavily at this time..."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
In her opinion, this rain was most likely part of the killer's prior calculations, and everything was prepared in advance.
Taking this as the premise of inference, even if the other party is injured, it may not leave traces and clues.
"Sorry."
Lin Wanyi suddenly woke up, turned to Gu Zhuo and saluted seriously, and said apologetically: "I was focused on other things earlier and forgot to thank you for saving my life."
< br>
Gu Zhuo shook his head slightly and said, "This is what I should do."
This is not a boring polite comment, but his sincere words.
Because they are allies.
Lin Wanyi understood what he meant, and persisted in thanking him without any senselessness, and said: "The movement here is not small. Butler Qiu must be on his way here. Why don't we go inside first and take a rest?"
It was said to be a rest, but in fact, after this sudden assassination, how could she close her eyes peacefully?
Just as she was walking into the room, silently thinking about how to deal with this matter, who would send the killer, and how to find the killer... suddenly she heard a sentence.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about how to catch the killer just now."
"Why?"
"I can find him."
Lin Wanyi suddenly turned around when he heard this, looked into Gu Zhuo's eyes, and asked in confusion: "Then why didn't you say anything just now?"
Gu Zhuo reminded: "Because you suddenly remembered to thank me at that time, I can't interrupt you, so I can only tell you now."
After Lin Wanyi was silent for a while, he nodded and said, "I'll trouble you then."
When she said this, her tone was extremely calm, and there was no emotion at all.
The reason for this is because she is really embarrassed now, and she doesn't want Gu Zhuo to know her embarrassment, which will make her even more embarrassed.
Fortunately, Butler Qiu finally arrived at the scene and promptly broke the awkward atmosphere that was about to spread completely.
Looking at the long sword falling on the ground and smelling the smell of blood in the air, the old man suddenly turned pale and even swayed a few times. His worry and nervousness were evident in his words.
Lin Wanyi has always had great trust in the old housekeeper who took care of him and almost regarded him as a relative.
Seeing the old man's worried look at this moment, she didn't hesitate for a moment and described the whole process in the most concise language, including all the details, and emphasized that she was not injured.
After hearing these words, Butler Qiu breathed a long sigh of relief, and immediately his expression became serious, and he said seriously: "Miss, this matter today is too serious, and those who should know must know."
Lin Wanyi understood the meaning behind his words, which meant that he wanted to convey the matter to his family in Shendu. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "I understand."
Butler Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully: "Miss, someone will be here soon. You don't need to worry about the next thing for the time being. How about you go back to your room and take a rest?"
Lin Wanyi did not answer immediately.
She suddenly felt something in her heart, turned around and looked at Gu Zhuo standing aside, and asked with a particularly serious look: "Are you going to find the killer now?"
Gu Zhuo hummed and said, "Mainly because I'm a little angry.
Lin Wanyi thought about the cracked wooden box and knew why he was angry. He thought about it and said, "Go to the library first and bring the jade pendant I put on the desk."
Hearing these words, Butler Qiu's expression changed drastically again. His eyes kept moving back and forth on the young girl's face, wondering what did this mean?
——That jade pendant is not only Lin Wanyi's personal belongings, it also has a very special meaning to her, and is not touched by anyone on ordinary days.
"Thanks, but no need."
After saying this, Gu Zhuo turned around and walked out of the corridor, stepping into the rain and missing.
