In the Bashu region, blocked roads have always isolated the communication between this place and the Guanzhong region. The majestic Qinling Mountains lie in the north of the Kingdom of Abundance, and even the clouds and mists heading north cannot get past the mountains connecting the sky.
Starting from Kunlun in the west, passing through Longnan in the middle, and reaching the Dabie Mountains in the east, the mountains are like natural barriers dividing the Fuxia land from north to south, and they are especially unreachable in the Bashu region.
Walking on the rugged path between the lofty mountains, the sky is dark. Only birds can walk on the path on Taibai Mountain in the west. From there, you can reach the top of Mount Emei by walking straight on.
It is said that once Xihe's six-dragon chariot ran aground here, and the Yellow Crane, who was good at flying high, was unable to leap. And below, there are many large rivers emptying the waves and twisting and turning, and the Qingni Mountains are winding and twisting, with nine turns within a hundred steps.
No wonder Taibai Sword Immortal once said that the road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
But right here, there are several figures leaping between the mountains as if they were walking on flat ground. Even the apes on both sides of the strait cannot reach their figures.
The snow in Chang'an is still falling, and the thousands of demons and ghosts wandering around also smell the oppressive atmosphere in the air. They cannot pass through the defense of Chang'an City, so they hover outside, just waiting for Chang'an to overturn to fish in troubled waters.
At dawn the next day, the heavy snow that had been falling for a day and two nights finally stopped. Under the snow, the bustling Chang'an became a lot more lazy. Under the blanket of snow, everything was silent.
A black line ran through the white snow, like a bird looking for food passing by. It streaked quickly against the low eaves, entered the house along the gap in the window, and shot towards the mosquito net.
A steaming towel came around and intercepted the black line. After losing its forward momentum, the black line also revealed its true form. It was a long black needle, which not only exuded a deep cold air, but also had purple poison on the needle tip. In just a short time, layers of frost had formed on the towel.
When Qing Ya was focusing on the long needle in front of him, the sharp blade was silently close to his back. The black blade does not reflect light. It is hidden in the blind spot of Qingya's sight, like a poisonous snake, waiting for the opportunity to see blood and seal its throat.
A pair of falcon-like eyes stared closely at Qingya's neck. Just when the man was about to take action, his chest seemed to be hit by a big mountain. Any sophisticated killing method was useless in the face of absolute power. The man instantly flew out and hit the wall. After sliding to the ground, he lost the strength to stand up again. Red blood seeped out from under his mask and formed a small pool on the ground.
Any hidden traces at such a close distance could not escape the pursuit of the needle, but before Qingya could counterattack, the white dragon hidden in the sword could no longer hold back.
"Senior, go to Qing'er quickly."
Qingya was subconsciously worried about Hua Qing'er's safety when he was attacked.
"I know, I know, you're just worried."
Before he finished speaking, Di Xi had already appeared in Hua Qing'er's room. But the opponent's target seemed to be only Qingya, and Hua Qing'er, who was only separated by a wall, was rubbing her sleepy eyes and pushing open the door and window.
On the other side, the assassin was hunched over and fell to the ground, unable to breathe smoothly.
When the dust of the universe falls, a big mountain will press on everyone's shoulders. For Di Xi, she just gave a gentle push and landed on the human body, but it almost took that person's life.
Of course, Qingya will never be merciful to those who want to kill him. But he also knew that this assassin was nothing more than a chess piece at best. Who on earth wanted to get rid of him?
Not many people know where he ends up in Chang'an, and this assassin can sneak in quietly with the doors and windows closed. He is definitely not an ordinary person. To be able to command such an assassin, the person behind the scenes must have an extremely large intelligence network. , at the same time, if he is not in high power, he is as rich as the enemy.
"One life for another, tell the Lord, and you can leave."
Qingya stabbed him on both arms, making him lose the ability to pick up weapons to fight back. Then he pointed the tip of the sword condescendingly at his chest. With just a little force, he could penetrate him. heart.
But Qingya saw that the living person in front of him suddenly turned into a shadow and slipped out like a stream of water along the gap under the door.
Moreover, Qingya didn't know if he had seen it wrong. He seemed to see his own shadow holding a sword and slashing at the fleeing assassin. The assassin fled without a shadow after leaving a few drops of black blood. No trace.
"Qingya!"
The door was pushed open, and Hua Qing'er rushed in in a panic without washing her face or combing her hair. It wasn't until she saw Qing Ya standing there safe and sound that the hanging heart in her chest was relieved.
"Oh? It turned out to be a shadow control technique. I never thought that today, ten thousand years later, I can still see Xi Xuan Dongtian's unique skills. It is really nostalgic."
Di Xi saw the few drops of black shadow's blood on the ground and remembered the mystery.
Thousands of years ago, the spiritual energy in the human world was very abundant, which gave birth to countless cave heavens and paradises.
Xixuandongtian is also known as the "Three Yuan Jiuzhen Tian". No one knows where it once was. There are only a few records in the ancient book "Yunji Qizhan".
According to legend, there are two exercises in Xixuan Cave Heaven, the Taiyin saying is "Yu Yi", and the Taiyin saying is "Neighboring Jie". The scriptures are engraved on the jasper slips with purple and gold cloud patterns. The jade is like green clouds and water, and the words are like the sun and the moon. The light looks like blue clouds under the light, so Xixuan Cave is also called Biyun Cave.
The male and female disciples in the sect separately practice the Yuyi Neighbor Jie Sutra, and when they perform it, they complement each other, which is far beyond the ordinary effect of two people working together. Therefore, the disciples of Xixuan Dongtian usually travel together with one man and one woman.
And this shadow control technique is one of the techniques of Xixuan Dongtian. The practitioner can refine his own shadow and turn it into a puppet with all his own power to assist him in fighting. It can also be used as a fake body to hide from the sky and hide the shadow. The transformed doll has the same aura as the real person, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the authenticity.
As for which film of Yu Yi Neighbors this shadow control technique comes from, Di Xi can no longer remember clearly. Back then, Master Qingling in Xixuan Cave Heaven could only look up at him from a distance, so Di Xi only had some vague impressions of this.
"Senior, are you saying that the person who came to assassinate me just now was just a shadow of a person? Then after learning this shadow control technique, wouldn't it be possible to do whatever you want? After all, it was only the shadow that was beaten and injured."
Qingya's understanding of the world has been refreshed again. There are thousands of martial arts in the world, but his own knowledge is still too short-sighted.
"How can you only think about good things? Everyone is of the same mind as his own shadow. Any damage suffered by the shadow will be returned to him in full. But there are advantages to sending your own shadow here. If you can't defeat it, just run away."
Although the intruders were repelled, Qingya couldn't relax with his heartstrings hanging. People who can master the techniques from ten thousand years ago either come from a sect or aristocratic family with a profound foundation, or they have received the inheritance of Xixuan Dongtian by chance. No matter which one, they are not people who can be easily controlled by others. .
It was obvious that she had already thought highly of him before, but she didn't expect that his background was still bigger than she thought. But such a person is just an assassin sent by the other party. What kind of authority will he have behind the scenes?
Which god did he offend? To deal with a small foundation-building monk, the other party was actually willing to spend such a huge amount of money.
If there is one such assassin, will there be another two or three?
Looking into the distance through the window, the entire city of Chang'an is covered under a sheet of white snow. It looks so peaceful and peaceful, but under this heavy snow, there are many dangers hidden somewhere.
"It's no longer safe here. We'd better move to Sister Qiu's place during this time."
With Di Xi by his side, he is not very afraid of these secret enemies, but what if the other party targets Hua Qing'er? What if they are more ruthless and target the mother-in-law and the old couple?
If there is anyone who has suffered unreasonable disasters because of himself, then the person Qingya cannot forgive, apart from the person who did it, is himself.
"Okay, let's go to Qixia Mansion immediately."
During the journey from the West City to the East City, Qingya had never walked so slowly and carefully, as if at the next corner, there would be swords and swords ambushing him.
Qingya had never felt that this stretch of road was so long. It usually took less than a quarter of an hour, but today it took almost half an hour. Fortunately, we didn't encounter anything along the way. Everything was as peaceful as before. If there hadn't been the assassination in the morning, today would have been a pleasant day.
The habits of dragons are lazier than humans, especially in such cold weather. It is now past Chen hour, but the door of Qixia Mansion is still closed. If nothing happens today, Qiu Chiyu will not get up all day.
After gently knocking on the door knocker three times, and waiting for a moment, the door of Qixia Mansion slowly opened.
The person who opened the door had long brown hair, like a pine tree in autumn, and Qingya seemed to be able to smell the faint pine fragrance. The man was wearing a light red Hunan concubine dress, and his tall figure had a unique charm that the girls in Chang'an City had never had.
At this moment, her violet gem-like eyes reflected the figures of Qingya and the two of them, and then she pulled them closer to the door with a smile.
"Miss Shushu, you look really good in a Central Plains dress. You are so tall, and this dress makes your waist so thin and your legs so long..."
The two girls walked and chatted all the way. Hua Qing'er never hesitated to praise her and praised Tanashushu until she blushed and lowered her head.
"Miss Qing'er, please don't laugh at me anymore. The girls who grew up outside the customs are rough-skinned and thick-bodied. They can't afford beauty. If not, Mr. Qingya wouldn't have rejected me that day."
Um?
How could she have such a good conversation with me again? How could I not want her?
