Late at night, Li Yuan decided not to wait any longer. After paying the bill, he went back to the weapon forging shop.
"call!"
After the four Yu and Jin were arranged to the next room, Li Yuan went back to the room, closed the door, and then started reading Wang Peiyao's information by the light of an oil lamp.
In the past six months, a lot of things have happened in Fucheng. There are now only four of the original six major families. After the Zhao family, another big family was wiped out. The reason was that a blood sacrifice was held and Duanmusheng did it himself.
"There are people in even Fucheng who dare to hold blood sacrifices. The Evil God Cult is really unscrupulous."
Li Yuan flipped through the information and was shocked by the boldness of these families in Fucheng. He also felt that these families, including the Evil God Cult, were extremely meticulous in their actions.
However, thinking about the Valley of Divine Weapons, he felt a little relieved.
"They are all members of the Caotai team."
Li Yuan sighed in his heart.
No matter how big the system is, it is also composed of people. People have their own little ones, which are uncontrollable.
"The tiger probably has other things to do when he comes down from the mountain this time. The purchase is probably the reason."
Putting away the information, Li Yuan stretched his muscles and mastered the 'Basic Diagram of Spiritual Ape Marksmanship', using the hammer as a spear and pushing forward slowly.
Even when he was being watched by Lao Lei and Tiger to create high-grade famous weapon-level inner armor, during the busiest month or so, he did not forget to change the root bone.
More than half a month ago, he had already developed the "tiger power", transformed into a bear's paws and a tiger's tail, and his root bones had reached the fifteenth shape.
But he found that after the big dragon shape was changed, the changes in the two more shapes were not as obvious as before, or in other words, the next node had not yet been reached.
"call!"
"call!"
Li Yuan moves slowly, with a heavy hammer like a spear. Although he does not have the blessing of "lifting a heavy weight as if it were light" at this moment, he has already grasped the essence of "lifting a weight as if it is light".
After years of blessing, he finally integrated the control effect into himself. This is what he has been trying and finally achieved.
"The division into small dragon form, dragon form, and big dragon form makes sense. Every time a node is crossed, one's own root talent undergoes a transformation. So, the next node, will it be twenty shapes? Or twenty-six shapes?"
Li Yuan also speculated on Xu Tui's shooting skills.
It was not mentioned in the book of fundamental bones left by Lao Han, so he could only try to figure it out on his own.
Phew~
After a long time, Li Yuan put down the hammer, changed the control, and began to push forward slowly.
With the superimposition and blessing of many hammering skills, his hammering skills have also improved by leaps and bounds. The martial arts fighting hammer, which is known as the most difficult to practice among the five secrets, has also reached the gate of Dacheng.
"Having mastered the hammer technique, you can use the superior killing move 'Fighting Hammer'!" "
There are eighty-one ways to fight the killing hammer in the art of fighting, but there is only one killing move. Only one-third of the dozens of disciples in the Hammer Hall have mastered this killing move.
And all of them are old disciples who have been practicing for more than fifteen or twenty years.
And it took him no more than a year.
"call!"
After playing several sets of military postures, Li Yuan just stopped. His inner strength shook and the beads of sweat fell off. Then he scrubbed casually and swallowed a few blood-increasing pills to warm and nourish his blood.
"ah!"
Suddenly, Li Yuan's heart moved, and footsteps were heard outside the courtyard.
"This is?"
Li Yuan opened the door and saw Yu Jin and four others already coming out with swords.
"There are shouts of death in the city!"
Yu Jin lowered his voice and held a knife with one arm: "Xiao Li may attract killers when he goes down the mountain. Let's work harder tonight and don't sleep."
"Um!"
"good!"
Several old soldiers nodded. Although there were shouts of killing in the city, they had no intention of checking.
"Thank you, Mr. Yu, Mr. Fang, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Zhang."
Li Yuan cupped his hands and thanked him. Naturally, he had no intention of investigating. He just suspected that the matter was related to Jing Shuhu.
That tiger doesn't come down from the mountain all year round. If it suddenly comes down, it must have something to do.
"We are guarding the outside, you can just sleep
. "
Yu Jin jumped on the roof, looked around at the night, and raised his eyelids slightly. The cry of killing seemed to come from the government office?
"Thank you, Mr. Yu."
Li Yuan thanked him again and turned back to the house without saying any more polite words.
The news that he had made a high-grade famous weapon caused a sensation for many days and caused many changes. Not only the many disciples of the inner and outer sects, but also the attitudes of many protectors, Elder Zhang, including Yu Jin and others also changed a lot.
"A divine craftsman?"
After blowing out the lights, Li Yuan put on his clothes and lay down, knowing the reason in his heart.
The Divine Weapon Valley has not produced a magic craftsman for seven hundred years, but everyone knows the importance of the magic craftsman. This can be seen from the fact that the Wanchuan lineage has entered and exited the Divine Weapon Valley many times.
Even if the previous generation of the Great Elder of the Forging Soldier Valley died in depression because of them, no one would dare to take revenge.
only……
"I must first have a divine craftsman's hammer before I can become a divine craftsman!"
Muttering in his heart, Li Yuan slowly closed his eyes.
…
After a night of silence, Li Yuan slept soundly. He found that the quality of his sleep was getting better and better. He felt very energetic after a total of four hours and could no longer fall asleep.
However, he rarely got up. Instead, he lay down lazily until daybreak before getting up.
"It's rare to stay in bed."
Li Yuan lay down for a long time, then stood up and regained his posture, then fetched water and washed himself.
In the yard, Yu Jin and others were also squatting and brushing their teeth.
The toothbrushes in Fucheng are made of fine wolf hair, similar to a brush, and are mixed with refined salt, vanilla, etc. when brushing your teeth.
Just the items for brushing teeth are far more expensive than those of a large or small family in the county.
"Big shopkeeper, something big happened!"
Li Yuan was still rinsing his mouth when he heard hurried footsteps. A manager from the blacksmith's shop ran to the backyard with a look of panic:
"The master of the palace has been assassinated, assassinated!"
"Um?"
Yu Jin and others looked at each other and stood up: "Someone assassinated the palace master again? Is Wang Zhaozhi dead?"
Li Yuan spit out the mouthwash and stood up.
"Last night, the master of the palace hosted a banquet. When everyone was leaving after the banquet, an assassin suddenly came out with extremely vicious methods..."
The chief officer was a little incoherent and seemed to be greatly frightened: "The city has been put under martial law, and the Divine Guards are searching from house to house."
"How many people died?"
Li Yuan was a little surprised and confused. There was such a big movement in Shenbing Valley some time ago, and there was still a killer who dared to take the risk?
Or assassinate the palace lord?
Li Yuan's only impression of the Palace Master Wang Zhaozhi was that he had been to the 'Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple' in Fucheng. Other than that, the Palace Master really had no sense of existence.
"It is said that the master of the palace, Deputy Hall Master Lin of the Zhenwu Hall, died on the spot, and several major arrests in the city also suffered heavy casualties."
The manager had sweat on his forehead.
The previous Palace Master died only two or three years ago, and the new Palace Master died again. This was too high-risk.
"Lin Jia is also dead?"
Yu Jin's expression also changed, and Wang Zhaozhi gave it up. Lin Jia was a master of meridians.
"this?"
Several old soldiers looked at each other with serious expressions. It was hard not to think of Sanyuanwu when the master of the palace was killed at this time.
"With Lin Jia's martial arts skills, he didn't even escape?"
Li Yuan was also a little frightened.
The Zhenwu Hall was nominally the imperial court's organ to monitor the violence of the world. Although it was not very conspicuous in the city, in fact, it was an institution that had direct access to the Universiade court.
As far as he knew, Lin Jia was also a master of meridians, and there were few in the entire Zhelong Mansion who had higher martial arts skills than him.
"Xiao Li, let's go back to the mountain!"
Yu Jin reacted quickly, sensing that Fucheng was unsafe, and immediately prepared to take Li Yuan back to the mountain.
Before Li Yuan could reply, he heard a cough.
Jing Shuhu, whom he hadn't seen all night, slowly walked over from outside, his face rosy and he seemed to be in a good mood.
「
Elder. "
Seeing Jing Shuhu, Yu Jin and others saluted.
"Something big happened!"
Li Yuan's heart moved and he repeated what the principal reported.
"furious!"
Jing Shuhu suddenly changed his face and became furious: "Killing two of my Zhelong Mansion masters in three years is so outrageous!"
Wasn't he the one who did it?
Li Yuan was a little skeptical about using oneself to save others, but when he saw that he was so angry that it didn't look like he was cheating, he felt a little guilty in his heart.
Could it be that there is still a killer with great mastery hidden in Fucheng?
"Let's go to the government office with me!"
Jing Shuhu's face was as dark as water, and he walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
Li Yuan and others looked at each other and followed suit.
…
The city has been under martial law for a long time, and the city guards and divine guards are in groups, searching the streets.
The government office has been sealed off for a long time.
When Ren Jingfei hurried over, he only glanced at it, and his eyes couldn't help but burst, and his mind buzzed:
"Thieves deserve to die!"
Among the corpses strewn all over the place, two and a half were from the six major arrestees in Fucheng!
"grown ups!"
All the government officials also turned pale.
"It hurts me too!"
Ren Jingfei spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body shook a little. After a while, he looked at Wu Zuo with sharp eyes:
"What kind of martial arts did the thief use?!"
"Go back, go back and be the head catcher."
The man was about fifty or sixty years old, and he was also an old official. Although his face was pale, he still managed to maintain his composure:
"Scythe, the murderer uses a sickle! It seems to be Sanyuanwu's sickle technique!"
"Sanyuanwu?"
A low voice came from outside the government office. Ren Jingfei was shocked and hurriedly bowed: "Master Meng!"
Meng Zhan, who was wearing heavy armor, stepped over, his eyes like knives, scanning the corpses everywhere, his face as dark as water.
"Palace Master, Deputy Hall Master Lin died so tragically! You must avenge him!"
"That thief was too cruel!"
"Master of the Palace..."
There was a lot of noise in the government office.
Meng Zhan's face twitched as he glanced at the body and the blood spattering everywhere.
"Last night during the palace master's banquet, the murderer took the opportunity to lurk among the crowd. The murder weapon should be a sickle used by ordinary farmers..."
At this time, a young man in gray clothes jumped down from the wall and pointed at Wang Zhaozhi's two-part body:
"The assassin struck out with his first sword, beheading the palace lord, then turned back and struck him with the second sword, killing Fang Baotou..."
The young man in gray clothes shuttled inside and outside the hall, reciting last night's battle as if he was personally there.
Meng Zhan said nothing with a sullen face.
Finally, the young man in gray concluded:
"Except for Deputy Hall Master Lin, none of the seven shape-changing masters, including the Palace Master, were able to take the next move!
That killer was at least a master of meridians, and was extremely skilled in assassination. He also knew everyone's martial arts well, and the sickle technique was probably not his best martial arts! "
Having said this, he glanced at the witnesses in the corner who were being guarded by the government officials:
"According to them, the perpetrator was wearing a cat-face mask and should be one of the gold medal killers in Zhaixing Tower."
"Cat face mask? Gold medal killer?"
Meng Zhan was noncommittal and was about to say something when he suddenly heard noise coming from outside the door.
Not long after, Li Yuan followed the angry Jing Shuhu into the courtyard. All the government officials had grim faces. How could they stop him?
"Crazy! So crazy!"
Jing Shuhu's beard and hair were spread out, and his body was so full of anger that Li Yuan even took a few steps back, making people wonder if he had a close friendship with a deceased person.
This emotion is a bit too strong...
"Jing Shuhu!"
Meng Zhan's face twitched, but he quickly regained his composure: "The Master of the Special Killing Palace, the Master of the Zhenwu Hall, no matter who this person is, once found out, he will die.
! "
He glanced at Jing Shuhu coldly, his face expressionless:
"Once the killer of Star Reaching Tower is caught, everyone in the house will die!"
"Sanyuanwu is so bold!"
Jing Shuhu glanced at the corpses on the ground with cold eyes:
"And those monsters from the Evil God Cult actually dare to hang out in the government office. Damn it, you all deserve to die!"
call!
Among the corpses on the ground, the two looked at each other coldly. Li Yuan seemed to feel a strong evil aura and his eyelids twitched.
He discovered that he might have overlooked the seemingly insignificant court.
Just looking at Meng Zhan's attitude, it was obvious that the relationship between the imperial court and the sect was worse than he thought.
This is more than just tit-for-tat...
"Meng will report this matter to the court!"
After a while, Meng Zhan lowered his eyelids and his tone returned to calm:
"Two palace lords have died within three years, and all the Dukes in the court must be very angry!"
After that, he turned around and left without looking at Jing Shuhu.
Ren Jingfei and the others also came to their senses and were about to leave, but were stopped by Jing Shuhu.
"As the saying goes, you will rest in peace."
Jing Shuhu sighed: "Let the leader be arrested, tidy up, and let the dead be buried."
"The state government will also send people to investigate the death of the palace master. Before that, he will not be able to enter the land."
Ren Jingfei cupped his hands and retreated expressionlessly, feeling a little scared. If it hadn't been for the sudden incident last night, he would have been one of the many dead bodies.
"Poor!"
Jing Shuhu took a deep look at Ren Jingfei and led Li Yuan and others to inspect the body in the yard.
"I'm afraid that assassin's sword skills have reached perfection. He has extremely high martial arts skills and is decisive in killing. He doesn't care about his demeanor at all. He lies dormant among the crowd. Once he rises up, he will unleash his killing move!"
Jing Shuhu pointed at the corpse with a serious look on his face.
Great master!
The more Li Yuan looked, the more frightened he became.
It can be seen from the marks on the ground that most people were killed without any reaction at all.
Including the five notorious head catchers who have long since changed their shapes.
The real battlefield was in the backyard, where the deputy master of Zhenwu Hall finally died. However, the rockery was broken and the pavilions collapsed everywhere.
It was like a strong wind passing through, leaving a mess.
Lin Jia's body had already been taken away, but just from the little blood stains, it could be seen that his death was extremely miserable.
Li Yuan saw wet brains, internal organs, and bone fragments from the ground...
"Let's go."
After taking Li Yuan around for a while, Jing Shuhu just turned around and left, seemingly suppressing his anger.
'Could it be that he really did it? "
Li Yuan became more and more suspicious. This seemed to be pointing him out, but it also seemed like the perpetrator was checking whether he had missed anything...
Before leaving, the nearby government officials heard the Shenbing Valley elder's angry rebuke:
"Too outrageous!"
