I raise my head to see the floating clouds in the northwest, leaning against the sky thousands of miles away and needing a long sword. People say that here, we can see each other late at night, and the flames of bullfighting. I feel that the mountains are high, the lake is cold and the water is cold, and the moon and stars are pale. When the rhinoceros is burning, I look down, but I am afraid when leaning on the railing. The wind and thunder are angry, and the fish and dragons are miserable.

——Excerpt from "Water Dragon Song: Crossing the Shuangxi Tower of Nanjian" by Xin Qiji
…
Zhang Tongru was mobilizing troops and generals when he suddenly heard a report from a small school: "Sir, all the members of the lone wolf in the manor, including more than ten people, have disappeared and are missing."
Zhang Tongru angrily scolded: "Why are you guarding the rice bucket? With so many people, you can't keep an eye on a few old, young, women and children? Pass my order and ask the commander to come see me quickly."
The principal said: "All the soldiers guarding us are dead, and there is no one left alive in the entire manor."
Zhang Tongru fell down on the couch and asked: "How could hundreds of officers and soldiers die so silently?"
The principal murmured: "It seems that they were intoxicated and their throats were slit in their sleep."
At this moment, a whooshing sound was heard, and all the lanterns in Zhang Tongru's courtyard were shot down by cold arrows, and the surrounding area suddenly fell into darkness.
Zhang Tongru was shocked.
Hong Da, the general of the Yan army, quickly blew out the candles in the hall and said urgently: "Sir, it is no longer safe here. Without further delay, let's leave quickly. If you don't leave, I'm afraid the lone wolf will come and kill you."
Before he finished speaking, shouts of killing were heard everywhere, and dozens of sharp arrows were shot into the hall. The primary school messenger had no time to dodge, and was immediately shot into a hedgehog.
Hong Da moved quickly and overturned the Eight Immortals Table, blocking it in front of Zhang Tongru and himself. He slowly turned the table and moved it into the inner room.
Arriving at the inner room, Hongda lifted the floor, revealing an underground passage, and said: "Sir, leave quickly!"
Without any explanation, he dragged Zhang Tongru and hid in the tunnel.
Half an hour later, Hong Da and Zhang Tongru climbed out of a woodshed a few miles away, mounted the horses left here, and fled in the direction of Fan Yang.
…
The flower blooms on two branches, one on each side.
That night, Fan Yang came to the Yan Palace. Bai Fu, dressed in night clothes, looked like a civet cat and silently climbed over the palace wall and entered the inner palace.
Bai Fu was prostrate on the eaves of a certain palace, with a pair of black and translucent eyes, looking at the night like day, sweeping over the palaces.
The Pseudo-Yan Palace was originally the palace of the Marshal in Anlu Mountain. Although it is not as grand as the Daming Palace, it still has dozens of courtyards and hundreds of houses, layered on top of each other.
If you were an ordinary assassin, just these densely packed houses would dazzle you.
At that time, Taifu Xu passed on the art of clearing mountains and regulating water to Bai Fu, but he didn't expect that it would come in handy here.
These courtyards, which are scattered in layers and nested inside each other, may seem chaotic, but in fact they coincide with Feng Shui and the astrology.
Based on the height of the pavilions and the trend of the courtyard walls, combined with the layout of the Daming Palace, Bai Fu quickly determined the general direction of the inner palace and sleeping quarters.
At the third watch, when the agreed time to take action was about to come, Bai returned like a ghost and floated into the inner palace and bedroom area.
The inner palace and sleeping quarters are distributed in three courtyards, each courtyard has one main palace and two auxiliary palaces. Shi Siming was cunning and cunning, and it was difficult to find the room where he stayed.
There are elite soldiers patrolling the inner palace and dormitory area. There are twelve people in a team, one incense stick per class. Every other class patrols the area without leaving any blind spots.
On the roof of the dormitory, there are ambushed eagle shooters who can use cold arrows to snipe assassins from a distance. Not only that, if someone launches a palace coup and leads troops into the dormitory, the crossbows of these archers can also form an arrow net.
, shot and killed a large number of mutinous soldiers.
But this is nothing, the real masters of guarding are all invisible.
…
Bai Fu held the python bead in his hand and poured his thoughts into it, sensing the living creatures around him.
On the eaves, a civet cat curled up and was sleeping soundly. It woke up suddenly, meowed, turned over, jumped down from the eaves, and ran into the courtyard of the dormitory.
There was a sound of "stretch", the sound of a bowstring, and an arrow shot from the dark place, pinning the civet cat to the ground and killing it with one blow.
Bai Fu's eyes swept across the dark place near the dormitory, and several hidden murderous auras flashed past.
At this moment, Bai Fu knew the location of these guard masters.
Bai Fu's night-walking clothes are made from special materials refined by the Tang Sect. They can absorb light without reflecting it, and have a good invisibility effect.
Bai Fu quietly collected his mind and hid his breath. Xunding's true energy traveled throughout his body, and his body was as light as a fallen leaf, moving with the sound of the wind in the courtyard.
Bai Fu floated outside the courtyard and listened through the courtyard wall to listen to the sounds in the courtyard.
The partition wall has "ears"!
The guard on the other side of the courtyard wall squatted against the wall, lurking in the dark.
After determining the enemy's position, Bai Fu took out a slender emerald green bamboo tube from his arms, placed a black bee needle into the bamboo tube, and slowly approached the wall.
After a stick of incense, a group of elite soldiers patrolled the courtyard and walked past, walking lightly and neatly.
Bai Fu exhaled his true energy from his lips, and the black bee needle spiraled rapidly, broke through the wall, penetrated the wall, and hit the neck of the guard on the other side of the courtyard wall.
The jet-black bee sting contained highly toxic substances, which sealed the throat when blood appeared. The guard felt an itching on his neck, as if he was bitten by a gnat. Before scratching could relieve the itching, the guard's body went limp, and he leaned against the pillar and slowly collapsed.
According to this method, Bai Fu killed the five guards without knowing it.
Floating to the sixth guard, Bai Fu was about to implement the law when he heard an angry shout. The guard on the other side of the wall had noticed Bai Fu.
This person pushed out his palms against the courtyard wall, and the strong wind from his palms passed through the wall. Bai Fu felt the strong wind blowing in his face, and the powerful force came in an instant.
What a brilliant "killing a cow across a mountain" Kung Fu.
Bai Fu didn't hesitate, he struck quickly and swiftly, using the black iron thick back knife, he raised the knife and stabbed him flatly.
The black iron thick-backed knife is indestructible, and the wall is like tofu, which is penetrated by the knife. Before the opponent has time to retreat, he is stabbed to the core by the black iron knife.
Bai Fu's figure was exposed, the palace alarm sounded, and dozens of elite soldiers came running in search of the sound.
The original intention of Bai Fu entering the palace to assassinate was to "encircle Wei and save Zhao". By attracting the palace guards, he could mobilize the imperial guards who had been encircling and suppressing the lone wolf.
If you don’t leave now, how long will it take?
Bai Fuyi soared into the sky, passed over the ridge of the palace roof, jumped through the corridors and pavilions, and fled outside the palace.
Just after flying over the two-story palace, Bai Fu was intercepted by five people on the eaves.
These five people, generally tall, short, fat and thin, were arranged in five positions, surrounding Bai Fu. The five people all held the same weapon in their hands - a pair of copper cymbals.
The leader gave an order, and the five people played the cymbals in unison.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang", the croaking sound was loud and harsh. Bai Fu only felt chest tightness, irritability and restlessness.
Bai Fu rushed forward and slashed at one person with his sword.
The five people walked quickly, their movements were erratic, their formation changed, the true energy in the formation was flowing, and there was an undercurrent.
As the five people moved, the cymbals shot out quickly, blocking Bai Futeng's route. The edges of the cymbals were jagged and extremely sharp.
Bai Fu snorted coldly, swung out the black iron sword, and with a burst of energy, slashed a pair of copper cymbals close to him under the sword.
The cymbal that was split into two pieces not only did not fall, but turned into four broken blades, which struck at an unpredictable trajectory and almost hit Bai Fu.
Bai Fu Xunkan's true energy surged out, and the black iron sword suddenly appeared, slashing twice in a row. The copper cymbal was like a fish swimming in the water, slippery and unrestrained. Before the sword light could get close to him, he swung around to avoid it, and then rolled back.
Come, rush forward and recover the vital points.
What is even more surprising is that the copper cymbals rolled back are even more powerful, implying the true energy of the two tripods of Xunkan.
Bai Fu suddenly realized that the brilliance of the formation of these five people was to use force to fight. Once a large formation was launched, the formation was like a slingshot net, rebounding all the opponent's power back. The stronger the opponent's strength, the stronger the rebound.
The stronger the force.
Repay the other person with his own way!
The Murong family of Beiyan disappeared for many years!
Bai Fu only heard from his master that he had been out for several years and had never met him before.
Since we can't break the formation at the moment, we should escape first.
Bai Fu dashed left and right, trying to escape with his supreme lightness skills. Unexpectedly, this formation was extremely mysterious and coincided with the innate eight trigrams. It was like glutinous rice cake after pounding rice, which was extremely sticky. The more Xunding Qi was used, the stronger the stickiness became.
Bai Fu stuck firmly in the formation.
At this time, the Pseudo-Yan Palace was brightly lit and full of people. A large group of people were rushing towards this direction. If they don't leave, they might not be able to leave.
