The wind rustled, the rain rustled, and the sound of cold blades penetrated the flowers in the water.
The water flowers bloom endlessly, and the dense rain invades the moss and frightens the tiger frogs.
Yang Chaoxi knew something was wrong next door, so he immediately grabbed the futou, sweatshirt, shoes and socks, and put them on his body. However, he said "Wait a moment" to the beautiful woman in the quilt on the couch, and then sleeved the Shadow Sword. , tiptoeing open the window, raising the bead curtain, and flew up to the wide eaves like hanging wings.
Xiaoman huddled in the quilt, his deep eyes were tightly closed, Xiafei was dizzy, and he was ready to be picked by you. Unexpectedly, in the guest room of "Tianzi No. 1" separated by the wall, there was the sound of swords being unsheathed. Something ominous seems to have happened.
Seeing Yang Chaoxi coming out with a sword, she couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed and cursed the person next door for being inappropriate and interrupting her painstaking arrangements.
But he said that Yang Zhaoxi climbed up the wide eaves, walked a few steps, and stopped on the roof of "Tianzi No. 1". The constant sound of rain covered up the subtle sound of his feet stepping on the roof tiles, so the people in the room paid him a lot of attention. I didn't realize it was coming.
However, the sound of the rain hitting the tiles was too noisy, and it also covered up the movement in the room. Yang Zhaoxi stayed on the top of Xieshan Mountain for a while, but heard nothing. He wanted to turn over and go to the window to take a look, but he was afraid of disturbing the room. Those who fall in the trap will cause unnecessary trouble.
Looking around, I suddenly saw a tung tree with branches covering the sky just outside the east ridge. A rope for drying clothes was tied to the waist of the tung tree. The rope extended all the way, but at the end was the building's A small section of the south wall. Due to the afternoon shower, the clothes on the rope had already been cleared away, leaving only the slightly hanging rope, drawing a shallow arc in the rain.
Yang Chaoxi's thoughts changed, and he suddenly turned on his toes, exerted a little force, and stepped on a corner of a piece of black tile. The broken tile was sharp, so he held it between his fingers. He briefly sensed the direction of the wind and the force of the rain, and then used Use the "rotating throwing" method to shoot out the broken tiles with your hands!
There was just a muffled "pop" sound, and the rope tied to the iron ring on the wall immediately broke. Broken tiles flew everywhere and exploded into countless tiny particles. The rope hung down in the grass, like a long snake climbing up the tree. .
Yang Zhaoxi connected her feet a few times and easily jumped onto the tung tree. Then she hooked the tree branch tightly with one foot and swung her body downwards. She grabbed the rope with her left hand. At the same time, she waved the long sword with her right hand to cut off the connection. At this point, the several-foot-long rope finally fell into his hands.
After getting the rope, Yang Zhaoxi did not dare to stop for a moment. He immediately ran up the main ridge, tied one end of the rope firmly to the owl's snout, and then stroking the rope, he quickly slid to the other end.
When he jumped off the wide eaves, he suddenly exerted strength in his hands, firmly grasped the rope, turned his body upside down, and swung under the eaves. Then his toes were clasped left and right, and they were firmly hooked on a group of brackets. Like a bat, it hangs upside down in the air under the wide eaves.
The doors and windows of the guest room "Tianzi No. 1" were closed tightly, and from time to time, the sound of discussions came out through the window, but it was not real.
Yang Zhaoxi was only four or five feet away from the window sash at this time. He immediately drew his long sword lightly and gently sent it out. In an instant, a hole as thick as a finger was made on the oil paper that was pasted on the window.
He stabilized his body, looked through the hole, and immediately took a clear look at the situation in the room:
I saw three people wearing brown robes and black scarves, surrounding a man who was tied up. The man had a rope in his mouth and kept making "ho ho" sounds in pain, and he was stepping on a huge The sack was obviously brought here after being knocked unconscious. Three masked men were taking turns stabbing the man with swords, as if asking questions.
The man's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and blood was oozing from his limbs. He had obviously suffered a lot. However, his bones were extremely hard. He kept holding his neck and glared at the three people, with his eyes cracked.
The three masked men were also ruthless people. Seeing that he still refused to give in, the piercing parts of the swords in their hands gradually moved from the arms and legs to the torso:
First it came to the armpits, under the ribs, shoulder blades, etc., then to the heart, chest, lower abdomen... At first the blood flowed out was still dark red, but after a while, the blood gurgling out from the chest and abdomen was mixed with yellow.
The two colors of green flowed into the robes.
In the end, the masked man stopped asking questions. Instead, as if venting his anger, he stabbed the man one after another, one after another. He stabbed the man full of holes and left his body completely bruised. He only gave up when he saw that there was no hope of survival.
After the three murderers finished the crime, they groped around the man's body and quickly found a road guide and a bronze medal, which they carefully put into their pockets.
One of the slightly thin masked men said in a low voice: "Fortunately, it rained today. The smell of blood in this room was mixed with the smell of rain outside, making it difficult for others to notice. But this man is the chief disciple of the Xiaoxiang Sect.
How should the corpse be disposed of so that no one is aware of it?"
Another tall and thin man put his hair into a bun and said in a low voice: "This is easy! Brother Yu just got a strange medicine from the Western Regions, called 'corpse-dissolving and bone-removing powder'. This medicine becomes putrid when exposed to blood and can make muscles and muscles soft and rotten.
The bones are brittle and falling apart.
In addition, the medicinal powder is mixed with many eggs of 'white-bellied silverfish', which will hatch as soon as they see flesh and blood, and will soon feed on the rotten flesh and brittle bones of the corpse. By the time tomorrow morning comes, only a few bloody clothes will be left.
Just find a charcoal pot and burn it."
Next to the two people, there was a masked man with a burly build and bulging muscles, but he laughed and said: "Brother, what a trick! If you can do this, we will naturally rest assured. This time at the 'Shendu Martial Arts Conference', even the Jianghu people
Many sects that have been dormant for several years have actually sent their experts over. This shows that the magic power of this 'water sword' is really not trivial. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has stirred up disputes in the martial arts in the Central Plains! Haha!"
The tall and thin masked man snorted: "They are just clowns! Before the palace envoys left the capital of the gods, they had already made plans with Yuan Xiang. If these charlatans and loners are willing to obey orders, they will be repaid.
; If you persist in your stubbornness, you will all end up like this!"
Having said that, the tall, thin, masked man gently took out a small bundle wrapped tightly in oil paper from his arms. After removing the oil paper, a shiny black celadon vase came into view.
Yang Chaoxi's eyesight was very good, and he saw this man carefully opening the cork of the bottle, dusting some rouge-colored powder into the mouth of the chief disciple of the Xiaoxiang Sect who had died. Immediately, the porcelain bottle was moved to the chest and abdomen of the corpse, and the man again
Dusting some powder on the sword wound, he slowly stood up and put away the celadon bottle again.
Sure enough, within ten seconds, the Xiaoxiang disciple's mouth and body were gradually filled with dark yellow pus. The pus was extremely corrosive and flowed through his cheeks, immediately plowing open several bloody grooves.
White bones were vaguely visible; flowing to various parts of the chest and abdomen, the originally round body gradually shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, many small insects as thin as flax gradually emerged from the corpse and began to gnaw at the corrupted flesh and blood. At first, there were only a few scattered ones, but gradually they grew more and more, like a colony of ants, covering the corpse.
face...
Yang Zhaoxi's back felt cold. If he got even a little bit of this poison, wouldn't he have to watch himself alive and be consumed by poisonous insects? That would really be worse than death.
The three assailants had covered their mouths and noses at this time. It was obvious that the smell in the room was not pleasant.
The thin masked man was the first to suggest: "This method of turning corpses will take some time to be effective, but the smell is really too strong! How about we go next door and wait all night, and then come back tomorrow morning to clean up the mess? ?”
The burly masked man immediately echoed: "This method is wonderful! Just when we were doing our business, the Sa family heard the coquettish voice of a woman next door. Hehehehe! Tonight, the three of us brothers will take turns to have some ecstasy..."
After hearing this, the tall, thin and masked man also praised the good deeds repeatedly: "That's very good! Then I'll just spend some more 'corpse-dissolving and bone-removing powder' to dissolve that woman. Hahaha!"
The three thugs had decided on their plan and immediately opened the door latch and filed out. The tall, thin and masked man found a chain lock and locked the wooden door tightly.
Yang Zhaoxi had been frightened by what he heard. No matter what the origins of these three masked men were, if they really broke into the guest room of "Tian Zi No. 2" at this time, wouldn't Xiaoman have to be seen naked?
As soon as the thought was settled, Yang Chaoxi did not hesitate, and immediately dropped from the wide eaves. The long sword in his hand vibrated, and it went straight to the mouth of the burly, masked man.
The three assailants had just taken care of the chief disciple of the Xiaoxiang Sect, and they were all thinking about how to deal with the woman next door, so they were slightly alert and relaxed. None of them noticed that there was a young man hanging upside down above the heads of the three men.
The young man's thin clothes were completely soaked, and his face was even covered with half of his sleeves. When his long sword reached the chest of the burly masked man, the man tried to block it with his sword, but was unable to do so. He couldn't help but shout angrily: "Dog thief!"
At this moment, the tall, thin, masked man next to him swung his sword, and the sword pointed at Yang Chaoxi's right wrist. If he insisted on stabbing him with the sword, his right wrist would definitely be in danger.
Yang Chaoxi knew the pros and cons, so he immediately changed his sword move to stabbing, and immediately stopped the long sword in the hand of the tall, thin masked man. Then he heard a crisp "ding-rang" sound, and the tall, thin masked man took the sword with his sword. The long sword, as bright as autumn water, was cut off by Yang Zhaoxi!
The other two masked men took advantage of the opportunity and attacked forcefully, slashing with the swords in their hands one after another. At this time, they saw Yang Chaoxi actually holding a sharp blade. Although they were shocked, they had no time to withdraw their hands.
Yang Zhaoxi used his sword sharply, and unexpectedly, he hit both swords with one cloud and one hanging. Without any suspense, there were two more crisp sounds of "bang bang", and the two horizontal knives were cut off out of thin air. Only the handle of the knife in his hand was left, and half of the blade was trembling.
Although the three assailants were good warriors who were used to seeing the wind and waves, they could not help but feel secretly frightened at this moment. They all retreated more than ten feet away, guarding the broken sword in front of them to prevent Yang Chaoxi from attacking again with his sword.
The tall, thin, masked man's eyes were sharp and he immediately recognized the origin of the sword. He couldn't help but wonder: "The palace envoy has returned to Chang'an. Where did the 'Chengying Sword' in your hands come from?!"
Yang Chaoxi looked at the appearance of the three of them, and they all looked different from the people they had fought against recently. However, in their words, they all obeyed Wang Jin's orders.
Thoughts were flying in my mind, and I suddenly thought of a person, and I couldn't help but sneer: "Since these people are under the command of the palace envoy, they should act neatly and neatly, and must not create extraneous things! However, the young master just listened under the eaves for a long time, and not only did these people not notice at all, He actually became lustful and wanted to mess with the woman next door. If that woman is just an ordinary good family, but if she is a master of martial arts, wouldn't you guys be going to capsize in the gutter? And ruin the important matter of the palace envoy!"
The tall, thin, masked man's heart trembled, and his aura became a little weaker. He quickly cupped his fists and saluted, "You are so young, and you are so heroic. Could it be that..."
"That's right! My surname is Wang Chue, and my given name is Xianyi. My father's name is Wang Hong. Wang Jin, the envoy of Taiwei Palace, is my second uncle of the Wang family!"
Yang Zhaoxi said arrogantly, and his words gradually revealed a strong dissatisfaction, "Second uncle was ordered by the saint to return to Chang'an, the imperial capital, to report on his duties. Before leaving, he left this sword behind. I also told me to keep an eye on you to avoid things going wrong. , broke the plan. If I hadn’t happened to come here to rest here today, you guys would have created a huge trap!"
When the three murderers heard this, their knees went weak and they all kowtowed to apologize.
While talking, he also took off his money, silver knives and other belongings and rushed them into Yang Chaoxi's hands. He begged Yang Chaoxi to be spared and not to report what happened today to the palace envoy.
Yang Zhaoxi was not polite and accepted the order. Then he kicked the three of them one by one into the rain and ordered them to get out of here.
When he saw three people escaping over the wall, he swaggered back to the guest room of "Tian Zi No. 2".
