On the fifteenth day of August, at the third hour of Si, I don’t return to the third floor of the building, “Siwu Residence”.
Even during the day, the light in this layer is still very dim, and there is always a strange fragrance in the air.
The strange fragrance is not like a spice, nor a powder, nor like the fragrance emitted by flowers and plants... If you have to describe it, it is like a naturally generated smell on some animal, and it will make people feel a little disgusting when smelled.
"Master, Mr. Wu is here." You Jing skillfully led Lao Wu to the door of a bedroom, and informed him in a tone of no high or low voice through the door.
Soon, a man's voice came from the door: "Let him come in."
After receiving the order, You Jing reached out and pushed the door open.
But he himself didn't take a step in, but just stood by the door, turned to the old Wu who was following him and said, "Please."
Lao Wu calmed down a little, swallowed, and then stepped into the door.
Since becoming Chen Youran's confidant, Lao Wu has basically come here a few times a month, but to this day, he still feels that it is a creepy thing to walk here.
The light inside the room was darker than the corridor outside. Even with the eyesight of a martial arts practitioner, Lao Wu could only barely see the outlines of the things in the room, without seeing the details at all.
Of course, this is what the owner here expects that he doesn't want anyone to see his face clearly.
"Wu meets the Lord." After walking a few steps inside, Lao Wu paused his feet and bowed, and stopped moving forward.
Almost as he spoke, You Jing behind him also closed the door casually.
In the darkness, people's hearing will become sharper, so Lao Wu quickly heard the footsteps of You Jing leaving clearly.
"Old Wu..." After You Jing walked away, the "Master" who lived in the dark slowly spoke and said to Lao Wu, "Youran, how are you doing lately?"
Lao Wu stood there and responded respectfully: "Return to the Lord, I will ask you for your blessings. You are all in peace with the Young Master."
"Yes." The Lord pondered and said again, "He asked you to come, do you have something to tell me?"
"Yes." Lao Wu replied, "The Young Master asked me to report to you, and the plan went very smoothly; yesterday, at three o'clock, he had put the young seedlings of the "Jiu Bliss Gu" in tea and attracted everyone to take it. To this day, twelve hours have passed, and no one noticed the abnormality... So the Young Master asked me to come and report to the Lord while everyone is paying attention to the competition."
After hearing this, the Lord chuckled.
After a brief silence, he replied: "No, not 'everyone'."
This sentence made Lao Wu feel excited and his scalp numb: "Lord! I..."
"I know, you have repeatedly confirmed that you have not been followed." The Lord knew what Lao Wu was going to say, and gave an answer before he said it, "I don't blame you, nor do you doubt you, don't be afraid."
He was only halfway through his words, and outside the door, the sound of You Jing's footsteps rang again.
Tak, Tak, Tak...
The footsteps sounded from far to near, and they walked neither fast nor slow.
Twist... Twist...
But you can find it by listening carefully, but in addition to the sound of footsteps, there is another very subtle sound of liquid dripping on the floor.
At this moment, Lao Wu's back ridge was cold. He suddenly felt that time passed very slowly, as if it took an hour for the dozen steps that You Jing had walked to the door.
"Master." After You Jing arrived at the door, he stopped and said, "Do you want to see?"
Twist... Twist...
The sound of You Jing's footsteps stopped, but the sound of water drops did not stop.
"Look at it, just take a look." The Lord replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, You Jing opened the door again.
At this time, Lao Wu turned his face slightly and swept towards the door with his light.
I saw... in the dim light, You Jing's figure stood at the door with a light on his back, and his hand was still holding a head of blood.
In other words, as far as Lao Wu said those few words to the Lord just now, You Jing had already killed someone and cut off the head of that person. The movements made throughout the process were even less loud than the footsteps he was walking.
"I have passed two moves in total, and the other party is the internal strength of the Five Spirit Sect." You Jing showed the head to the Lord in the house, while saying, "The skills are ordinary, and I don't think they are a person who can be named."
"Well... OK." The Lord agreed casually, stared at the head in the dark for a moment, and then told Lao Wu, "Lao Wu, if there is nothing else, you can go back first, and tell Youran that he is doing well... Tomorrow at Xu, everything will go as planned."
"Yes." When Lao Wu replied to the word "Is" cold sweat on his face had flowed from his forehead to the tip of his nose.
Although the other party had said that he could go back, Lao Wu still didn't dare to relax before he actually walked out of here.
"Oh, by the way." Just as Lao Wu turned around and was about to leave, the Lord suddenly added, "About the fact that you were being followed by the people of the Five Spirits Cult..." He seemed to intend to scare Lao Wu, and he paused slightly when he said this, "...You don't have to take it seriously, anyway, You Jing has already handled it for you; if you are happy to say it to Youran, just say it, if you are not happy to say it, don't say it."
"No, no..." The pause just now almost scared Lao Wu. After the Lord finished speaking, Lao Wu quickly replied in fear, "This is my subordinate's omission, how dare I hide it from the young leader."
"Ha..." The Lord smiled because he got the response he wanted, "Okay." He raised his voice slightly again and said to You Jing at the door, "You Jing, take the guests first, and you'll finish it... Remember to wash the floor."
…………
Let’s talk about it in two ways, or go back to the Justice Sect.
It was almost noon, and the third round of the martial arts test was finally over.
Because there were a lot of people in the first few rounds, it would naturally take longer, so it would be good to finish three rounds in one morning; if there were fewer people in the next few rounds, the process would be accelerated.
"The next is the last game of the third round, with Guo Cong, the Zhongyi Sect of Qingyuan, against Sun Yixie, Hangzhou."
As the sun climbed directly above the flagpole, the host came on stage to announce the opponents of the last morning's competition.
Sun Yixie's name is on the rightmost right of the second-last row of the promotion table, so if he can keep advancing, he will always be in the last game of each round.
His opponent Guo Cong in this round has achieved quite a good result in the literary exam, so he was bye in the first two rounds, and this was his first appearance.
This Guo Cong is very different from Li Yuan.
Li Yuan, both civil and military, is a stepping stone in this Youth Heroes Association, but Guo Cong... Takes a current concept as an example, he is a "seed player".
Not to mention anything else, there is a big gap between the sect that Guo Cong belongs to and Li Yuan.
The "Four Gates and Three Gangs" mentioned many times in this article, specifically, are the Xingyi Gate of Cangzhou, Zhengyi Gate of Luoyang, Zhongyi Gate of Qingyuan, Xiayi Gate of Huai'an, Salt Gate, Cao Gate and Tea Gate.
These seven gangs are the backbone of today's martial arts world. Compared with them, the size of the Iron Fist Sect is like a convenience store compared to a business square, which is not a little different in scale.
And Guo Cong is the representative of the younger generation of the Zhongyi Sect in Qingyuan this time.
He started practicing martial arts at the age of five and achieved success at the age of fifteen. This year, he was eighteen years old, and he had learned all the martial arts of the advanced class in the Zhongyi Sect. Many disciples in their thirties and forties were not his opponents; it can be said that now is the time when he was young and arrogant and full of energy.
This time when he came to Luoyang to attend the Youth Heroes Club, Guo Cong undoubtedly came with the mentality of winning the championship. Before today, except for Lin Yuancheng from Xingyi Sect in Cangzhou, he did not take other competitors seriously.
Of course, after watching this morning's martial arts competition, Lei Buji pierced in his eyes, and it was the kind that he couldn't even pull out after being pierced in. When he thought that he might have to face Lei Buji in the subsequent martial arts test, Guo Cong's feet were shaking.
But that's another matter. At this moment, he is going to play against Sun Yixie, and Sun Yixi's performance so far... obviously cannot catch Guo Cong's eyes.
"drink!"
It was time to speak quickly. Before the host finished speaking, he heard Guo Cong shout lightly, and then his anger arose with the sound and the figure suddenly moved.
His lightness skills made the movement of a lofty body stage profitable like thunder. After his figure settled, his whole body immediately seemed to have taken root on the stage, and his lower plate was as stable as Mount Tai.
This move alone is enough to show that his martial arts skills are much more wise than Li Yuan that Sun Yixie met before. Even many martial arts seniors in the audience couldn't help but praise: "What a handsome kung fu!"
And on the other side...
"Brother Sun, this surname is Guo, you are a little powerful. You are afraid you will suffer a serious consequence." Huang Donglai was also aware of the goods. When he saw Guo Cong's skills, he immediately turned around and whispered to Sun Yixie.
"Shut up!" Sun Yixie replied with a tilted mouth, "Brother is going up and fucking someone now. You are still beside you, and you are still ambitious and destroying your own might. Are you a human being?"
