Chapter 46 Backhand Sword(1/2)
Hearing Gu Jianzhang's words, Lin Xiao whispered, "It's good luck."
Bai Li also said: "This person is blessed with deep luck and happened to find a trick that he can use."
Lin Xiao paid no attention to that side and looked down at the bodies of the two inner guards.
"It was all the real energy that shattered the internal organs. There were no external injuries. The person who came seemed to be in a hurry and killed him directly..."
Bai Li asked doubtfully: "What about this blood stain?"
Lin Xiao shook his head, returned to the hall, and glanced at the knife edge of Lu Youping's body.
"It's really unbelievable that he was killed in one blow and the incision was so flat."
Bai Li from the True Essence Bead also said: "Moreover, it seems that there is not even a decent counterattack?"
Lin Xiao said "hmm" and said nothing.
It's just that Lu Youping's body is too weird. There is no real energy fluctuation, the weapons are not bright, there is no trace of the struggle around, and even the eyes are closed in one place.
It's like being cut in half by someone in your sleep and taking your life away.
"It looks like he was still smiling when he was about to die?..." Lin Xiao looked at Lu Youping's expression and became more and more confused.
"What?" Bai Li didn't seem to hear clearly.
Just when Lin Xiao was about to speak, he saw Gu Jianzhang holding a scripture book in his hand, turned around and stood at the stone gate and said: "Everyone has entered the arsenal, so the leader might as well come and look for it. If he can find one or two skills, it won't count."
It’s a waste of time!”
Lin Xiao looked up and saw that Gu Jianzhang's face was full of ecstasy and he kept waving the scripture book in his hand.
In the sea of consciousness, Bai Li also sent a message: "It doesn't matter if you go and take a look. If there is nothing in your eyes, you won't be delayed for long if you chase Mei Chengfeng."
Lin Xiao knew that time was tight and he couldn't afford to delay. He was about to refuse, but he saw a scripture on the bookshelf on the other side of the stone gate, with the words "Annotations to the Classic of Formation Studies" written on it. His eyes suddenly jumped, and the words came to his lips,
Swallowed it back.
"My little friend is tempted? Haha..." Bai Li joked.
Lin Xiao only said: "But it made the seniors laugh."
Bai Li said, "You are wrong, little friend. How many of our monks are unmoved when they see their favorite exercises? How can such a person be so ridiculous? Even I have traveled around the world when I was young.
, the matter of exploring the array and hunting for treasure has been in decline for more than ten years, and we rarely travel."
Lin Xiao also smiled shyly after hearing this, walked forward quickly, took out the "Comments on the Classics of Formation Studies" from the bookshelf, and started reading.
But it doesn't matter, just a few glances, Lin Xiao couldn't help but look happy.
Gu Jianzhang next to him caught a glimpse of Lin Xiao's expression and said, "But have you found the first rare book?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the scripture book in his hand and continued: "If this place is full of nonsense, I don't dare to ask the master to stay for a while. After taking a few glances, I will tell you that the "Mace Method for Opening Mountains" of the Dagua Sect is passed on to me.
My hands are inherently imperfect. To put it bluntly, even if I practice till death, I will never reach perfection. I have long heard that the Imperial Court’s Immortal Armory has all the secrets in the world, but I never thought that I would actually find them!”
At the end, he sighed loudly. "Oh, it's not in vain that I have to fight for my life and death just to have a chance..."
The fact is indeed as Gu Jianzhang said. Lin Xiao also found that the "Zhenxue Sutra Annotations" in his hand was of surprisingly high quality. Regardless of the mistakes in copying and the quality of the book, it was far superior to the books in his own collection.
You must know that most of the books in Lin Xiao's storage space come from "senior brother" Gu Muen and the library in Wufeng Mountain Immortal Garden.
This quantity is indeed quite large, but the quality is somewhat unsatisfactory.
Especially the hundreds of copies obtained from Gu Muen.
There are many misspellings and defects among them. It can only be said that this cheap senior brother tried his best, but due to limited conditions and lack of financial resources, many books and scriptures were collected, but the quality is really good.
There is a big difference.
On the other hand, the books in the Immortal Armory of the Imperial Court are well preserved, with no creases or wear at all. The handwriting is as new as if it was written and bound and put on the bookshelf just yesterday.
Lin Xiao was a book lover. He glanced at the cover while looking up, and soon saw several ancient books on the bookshelf that he had longed for.
"The Formation, the Dharma, the Five Elements Classics, the Zhou Tian Lun, the Essence of Engraved Talismans..." Lin Xiao subconsciously chanted aloud, feeling extremely happy in his heart.
As he looked at it, his eyes suddenly stopped. ""Wuxin Tang Lun"!"
He quickly reached out and took it out of the bookshelf, flipping through it in a hurry, the handwriting on each page was as good as new.
"There is actually "Wuxintang Lun" written by Master Shangguan Peak, alas..."
Lin Xiao sighed in his heart, seeming to miss people after seeing things.
But the next moment, his eyes visibly trembled, and he closed the book suddenly, his eyes fixed on the four words on the cover.
In an instant, a chill ran down the spine and rushed straight into the sea of consciousness, and the whole body could not help but feel chilly.
"This book——!"
Bai Li was confused. "What's wrong with this book?"
Not far away, Gu Jianzhang was still flipping through the book of scriptures in his hand, when suddenly a cold light flashed in his peripheral vision, and a long and narrow black sword stabbed at him!
"You, you want to..."
This move shocked Gu Jianzhang to the point where his hair broke out. He raised his mace and turned sideways to hide.
There was a sound of "Qiang", and Gu Jianzhang barely caught the blow. When he turned around, his expression suddenly changed!
It turns out that it was Lin Xiao who made the secret attack with a backhand sword!
He shouted angrily, "What do you mean by mentioning the Lord?!"
Bai Li, who was among the lost beads, was also horrified when he saw this, and said anxiously, "What are you doing, little friend?!"
Lin Xiao threw away several scriptures in his hand, stared at Gu Jianzhang with murderous eyes and said: "What do you mean? Kill you!"
"You, are you crazy..."
Before Gu Jianzhang could finish speaking, Lin Xiao unfolded his body skills, stepped forward, and the Qingqiu Sword made an arc. With a flick of his hand, several sword energy flew away!
"Zhengzhengzheng——!"
The sword energy roared, hitting the copper mace and pulling out several sparks!
The moment Gu Jianzhang seemed to be unable to resist, and kept retreating, Lin Xiao was already approaching. He pointed the Qingqiu Sword at the opponent's door, made a feint move, and went downwards, directly piercing the scripture book in Gu Jianzhang's hand, and lifted it up!
p>
"Hiss—!"
The true energy surged, and the blade of the sword split the paper. In an instant, the entire scripture turned into shreds of paper, flying like snowflakes and falling in the air!
"You, why did you destroy my book of martial arts manuals——!" Gu Jianzhang shouted loudly and was about to tear it up.
But Lin Xiao pressed the Qingqiu Sword with his backhand, his eyes trembling up and down, scanning the scraps of paper floating in the air full of handwriting, and finally stared at Gu Jianzhang and said in a deep voice.
"Why? Because you are not the head of Gu Sect at all!"
"What did you say?"
Knowing each other at home and abroad, Gu Jianzhang and Bai Li were surprised at the same time.
Then Gu Jianzhang continued: "The master is crazy, I'm not Gu Jianzhang, how could you be!"
In the sea of consciousness, Bai Li also said: "Little friend, don't be joking. I recognize him, Gu Jianzhang, how could he not be..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xiao interrupted directly via voice transmission: "You are not Bai Li, the master of White Dragon Temple!"
"You..."
Opposite me, Gu Jianzhang also laughed angrily. "I'm not Gu Jianzhang, okay! Who do you think I am!"
"You are not human..."
Lin Xiao looked at him and said coldly, "When I first saw the collection of books here, I thought it was strange, but I couldn't place it until I saw this "Wuxintang Lun"."
He said and looked at the scriptures on the ground.
"This book is of great significance to me. I have even dreamed of finding the first volume among the ten! However, I don't know how far away from the Dufeng Kingdom this country has been for thousands of years. This book will not be completed at most.
How could "Wuxintang Lun", which was written over three hundred years ago, appear here?!"
"Furthermore, the collection of books in the arsenal has always been regulated. The outer ring of classics and history, the inner ring of alchemy formations, and your "Mountain Mace Technique" manual, how can it be grouped together with the miscellaneous books that I have been thinking about!"
Lin Xiao shouted sternly: "Everything here is born from the heart. What is thought in the heart is embodied. I am not in the real world at all now, but in an illusion!"
After saying this, there was a sudden silence within and outside the realm of consciousness, but even faster, Bai Li spoke with sadness, "Little friend, are you, you, a demon?"
Opposite me, Gu Jianzhang also said: "What Ti Zhu said is too ridiculous. It has never been seen or heard before. You stabbed me with a sword and destroyed my book of moves, and you used this lame excuse to excuse it. It is too much to deceive others!"
Lin Xiao didn't care about the sea of consciousness. Bai Li continued to say something, sneered and said: "Okay, since Master Gu has objections to this, in addition to the "Mountain Mace Technique" and the body technique "Flying Swallow Stepping on the Clouds"
, you might as well tell me a few more secret methods of your sect, and let me learn a lot!"
When Gu Jianzhang heard this, he seemed to be angry and laughed, and just said: "How can we reveal the secret method of our sect to others for no reason? This is too much!"
"Is this too much, or do I only know these two moves of your sect, and I can't use the phantom formation?" Lin Xiao followed closely.
Gu Jianzhang frowned, waved his sleeves and shouted: "It's a waste of time to argue with the leader. It's useless to talk more. If the leader doesn't believe me, please leave on your own. Don't disturb me to continue looking for scriptures!"
Saying this, he cupped his fists and said, "Let's just say goodbye and leave without saying goodbye!"
At this time, Bai Li also said: "My little friend is confused right now, so why not leave quickly and return to the upper level, waiting for the dust to settle, the arsenal to be opened, and someone from the imperial court to come to rescue..."
To be continued...
