Lu Jing asked Xia Huai to test the defensive power of the fifth level Fire Lin Armor.
Xia Huai took the sword this time and stabbed Lu Jing's left arm. The first time she used three power, she didn't even leave a mark.
Then she increased her skill to 50%, and Lu Jing could still block it easily.
So Xia Huai also became serious. On the third time, he used a full 70% of his power, and used Wuxiang Sword Technique, which is unique to his sect.
This set of swordsmanship is very famous in the world. It was created by her master Xiao Mengrou. Although it is not a unique skill, its power alone is enough to rival some of the unique skills.
Lu Jing's heart tightened subconsciously when he saw the sword light filling the sky. At that moment, he couldn't help but think of Brother Cheng in Heaven, but fortunately, the sword blade still struck his arm in the end.
A small white mark was left behind.
Lu Jing couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this.
It's amazing. The second-rate master's seven-seven-success power is still using quasi-unique skills. In addition, the sword in Xia Huai's hand is also a rare weapon, which can't let him break through the defense.
Doesn't this mean that from now on, he can stand up and deal with most people in the world.
And this was obviously not his limit. Lu Jing said to Xia Huai, "Try using eight successes again."
"good."
Xia Huai nodded, but just as she raised the sword in her hand, she saw a messenger landing on the courtyard wall.
"Is this a new case?" Lu Jing asked curiously.
Counting the fact that it had been more than half a month since the two of them last went out to handle a case, it was indeed almost time for a new case to be assigned.
When Lu Jing saw this, he didn't ask Xia Huai to continue cutting him. He walked up and untied the letter tied to the messenger's leg.
He unfolded it, glanced at it as quickly as possible, and then said to Xia Huai.
"We are lucky. This case is on the edge of the capital. There is a village where people are suffering from a strange disease. On moonless nights, carp-like scales will grow on their bodies. It becomes difficult to breathe and they have to move their heads. Buried in the water, it doesn't look very dangerous for the time being. Just pack it up and we'll set off after a stick of incense."
Xia Huai had no objection.
Half an hour later, Lu Jing and Xia Huai had arrived outside the Li family village, but before they entered the village, they were stopped by an old fisherman wearing a raincoat and a straw hat with a grimace on his face.
The latter gestured for Lu Jing and Xia Huai to follow him.
However, neither of them moved their feet after hearing this.
"Who are you?" Xia Huai asked warily, "What do you want to do with us?"
The man didn't answer, but turned to Lu Jing and said, "Yan Yun and Wen Xiaochuan are both pretty good."
"Um?"
“I didn’t listen well to the lectures when I was in the academy.
Lu Jing sweated, "That's okay, that's all. We'll go with you."
After saying that, he glanced at Xia Huai with some guilt.
The two sentences the old fisherman said just now were what he had said to Guo Shouhuai not long ago. There were only two of them in the place at that time, so the identity of the old fisherman was already clear.
The question is why did Guo Shouhuai send people to find him, and also secretly?
Fortunately, the questions in Lu Jing's mind did not last long, and he soon got the answer.
When the three of them came to a forest on the roadside, the old fisherman took out an oilcloth bag from the fish basket and handed it to Lu Jing.
Lu Jing took the oilcloth bag, opened it and took a look, and was stunned.
"This...isn't this the black knife I found in Xiayi County?"
"good."
The old fisherman said, "Young Master Guo hopes that you can take this knife somewhere."
"Then what should we do with the case we have on hand?" Xia Huai asked, "We still need to investigate the strange things that happened in Lijia Village."
"The case in Lijiacun has been taken over by another person. All you need to do is deliver the knife."
"But in this case, why didn't Mr. Guo just ask us to deliver it..." Lu Jing paused at this point and blinked, "Doesn't he trust the people in Sitian Prison? Wait... this knife is in Sitian Prison Why did you suddenly have to send it away after you put it away so well? Could it be that you are also being targeted?"
The old fisherman did not hide anything, "Three days ago, this knife was indeed lost once, but fortunately it was found back by Mr. Kui in the end. After this incident, Guo Shaojian really did not intend to put this knife in Si Tian again." In jail."
"Someone stole the knife, and he was someone from within Si Tianjian?" Xia Huai didn't know about the mole, so he couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.
The old fisherman said, "Shaojian Guo is already investigating the traitor. I believe there will be results soon, but before that, the knife needs to be stored in a safer place."
"It seems that Mr. Ji values this knife very much."
Lu Jing glanced at the black knife in his hand again.
There is indeed something evil about this sword. He had felt it when he fought against the boy named Ruan before. The combination of attack locking and air damage is really a bit outrageous.
If he hadn't practiced the Fire Lin Armor and someone else had been there, the boy named Ruan might have been cut into pieces without even touching the corner of his clothes.
And according to the young man surnamed Ruan, the sword had just begun to be refined and had only drunk the blood of more than fifty villains.
If he was really allowed to kill all the demons in Xiayi County, who knows how powerful this sword would be by then.
This thing really should be put in a safer place.
Lu Jing wrapped the knife again with oilcloth, "I have one last question, why did Guo Shaojian come to us to do this? Even if there are moles in Sitian Prison, there should still be quite a few supervisors he trusts. "
"Those people are too conspicuous." The old fisherman said, "Guo Shaojian knows who is loyal. Of course Mr. Ji also knows, so he will pay special attention to those people. Among the remaining people, he knows that they must have nothing to do with Mr. Ji. You, and you found this knife, and you send it away, which can be considered a beginning and an end."
After speaking, the old fisherman handed over another letter sealed with fire paint, "Go east for fifty miles. After fifty miles, open this letter and you will know where you are going.
"Remember, don't use [the well] to pass through while escorting this knife, don't use messengers to contact other people, and don't trust other people easily, including people in the department and your friends in the academy. As long as everything goes well If you deliver the knife, you will have done a great job."
Lu Jing took the letter and said, "Does Young Supervisor Guo have anything else to explain?"
"No, let's get on our way soon. I wish you a smooth trip." After the old fisherman finished speaking, he put the fish basket on his back again, turned around and strode out of the woods.
Lu Jing watched his figure disappear, put away the unopened letter, checked the location, and then said to Xia Huai, "It's time for us to leave."
