Chapter 54: Sword Appreciation Tower
If you want to visit Yuliu Villa at night, you naturally have to wait until late at night when everyone is asleep.
At about one o'clock in the morning, Su Mo quietly opened the window, jumped out in a flash, lightly tapped the ground with his toes, and landed on the roof.
Looking from afar, although you cannot see the entire Yuliu Villa, you can still get a general idea of it.
At this moment, the entire Yuliu Villa was in dead silence, without even a ray of light.
Su Mo frowned slightly, this was even more of a common carelessness.
In a large manor like this, lanterns should be left on for lighting at night. Even if it is considered frugal, there is absolutely no reason for it to be so dead silent.
Especially at the edge of the villa, there was not even the sound of insects or birds chirping.
While he was thinking about it and was about to leave, his ears twitched slightly, and he stopped.
When I looked out, I saw a man flying out from the next yard. His steps were light and nimble, and he landed on the roof in an instant.
It's that scholar.
He seemed to be catching up on his sleep at this moment, and glanced around. Su Mo dodged in time and was not discovered by this person.
Immediately afterwards, the scholar flew away.
After Su Mo hesitated for a moment, he simply followed the man.
I'm afraid that everyone who came to visit Yuliu Villa today had different thoughts.
However, no matter what its purpose is, it is probably related to Liu Suifeng.
Since the other party is also traveling late at night, maybe he can lead me to find Liu Suifeng.
This scholar's lightness skill is extraordinary. He waved his arms while moving like a spirit bird flying into the sky. Although he didn't move very fast, his feet made no sound at all.
The lightness skill that Su Mo displayed was passed down from the Zi Yang Sect.
The Zi Yang Sect's mainstay is the Nine Purple Fiery Sun Burning Heaven Art, and the sect's martial arts focus on internal strength, supplemented by fists and feet. However, its lightness skills are only mediocre.
If it weren't for Su Mo's deep inner strength from the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra, it wouldn't be as magical as it is today.
Fortunately, Su Mo's internal strength was under perfect control, and his aura was long-lasting, so when he followed the scholar, the other party stopped to check several times, but could not find any trace of Su Mo.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already headed north from the southwest of the village.
Su Mo followed the scholar while paying attention to the movements in the manor.
But I found that there were not only no lights in the village.
Even the maids, servants, and disciples on night patrol were not seen.
The huge Yuliu Villa is actually like a dead house.
The scholar was hiding his body at first, but after running for a while, he gradually let go and simply didn't even hide his body, and just ran all the way.
Su Mo was confused, but suddenly he saw the scholar suddenly stop.
But he was not checking behind himself, but seemed to have discovered something and was hiding and observing.
Su Mo also stopped and saw that where the scholar was looking, there was a person walking slowly in the dark night.
After he perfected the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra, he became able to hear and see clearly. He couldn't say that his eyes could see at night, but if there was a little light, it was no different from daytime.
But in the hand of the man walking in the village, he was holding a dragon lantern.
The lantern is a lantern, but the light it emits is not the fire of a normal lantern, but a faint green light.
The man was dressed in black, blending into the night. In his hand was a lantern with a faint green light. At first glance, it was impossible to see his figure. It was as if a ball of green fire was floating and swaying in the air.
This situation is really horrifying.
However, what really shocked Su Mo's heart was not the mysterious behavior, but the identity of that person.
He is Liu Qingkong!
The butler of Yuliu Villa, who had a smiling face and a humble attitude, led him and Yang Xiaoyun into the villa.
In the dead of night, holding a lantern that looked like a ghost, he strolled like a wandering soul in the eerie and silent Yuliu Villa.
"What the hell is this?"
Although before this, the information obtained from Pingfeng Town and the strange visit to Liu Suifeng told Su Mo that there were serious changes in Yuliu Villa.
But I didn't expect it to reach this level.
What happened to Liu Qingkong?
Did he have a nightmare while sleeping? Or did he drink fake alcohol?
What's the point of making such a fuss in the middle of the night?
While his mind was racing, the scholar started moving again, following Liu Qingkong.
Su Mo suppressed the messy thoughts in his mind and followed them.
Three people, one following the other, moved slowly in this dead silent mansion.
Liu Qingkong's footsteps were definitely not fast, but each step was the same distance, each step was at the same rhythm, and there was never any pause.
After about an incense stick of time, they arrived in front of a courtyard.
With a creak, Liu Qingkong opened the gate of the courtyard, and inside the gate was a small building.
There are three big characters in front of the building: Pinjian Tower!
The handwriting is sharp and penetrating, with a hint of swords fighting each other.
It is completely different from the ghost aura that Liu Qingkong has.
Liu Qingkong arrived in front of the Pinjian Tower, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, stepped inside, and the door slammed shut, and there was no movement anymore.
Outside the Pinjian Tower, Su Mo and the scholar were silent.
However... Su Mo knew the scholar's silence, but the scholar didn't know that Su Mo was following him.
The scholar's silence did not last long. After another stick of incense, Liu Qingkong still did not come out, so the scholar started to move.
His figure flashed, and he had already reached the second floor of the Pinjian Tower.
He casually opened the window and disappeared into it in a flash .
Su Mo was the only one left standing outside the Pinjian Tower. The world was silent, as if the entire world only had this building and this person left!
Of course, this is just an illusion.
"Liu Qingkong stayed up late at night and dressed like this. He definitely didn't come out just to pretend to be a ghost and scare people...
"I wonder what mysteries are inside this Pinjian Tower?
"That scholar went in and didn't make any noise. Even if he was dead, he should at least let out a cry before dying, right?"
As his thoughts were swirling in his mind, he suddenly turned around and saw a figure behind him heading north, but the figure looked a little ostentatious.
His brows furrowed slightly, and then he heard a loud bang. The door of Pinjian Tower burst open, and a figure rushed out , rushing towards the figure in an instant.
This was none other than Liu Qingkong.
Su Mo's eyes moved slightly, but he did not stay there. While the door was open, he flew down and entered the Pinjian Tower with just a tip of his toes.
As soon as I came in, I heard something wrong.
I looked up suddenly and saw a figure suddenly approaching.
Su Mo stretched out his palm, wrapped in the power of dragon and elephant, and was about to hit the man in the face, but at this moment, he suddenly retracted his palm and turned his body to the side. The figure swept past him and fell to the ground.
It’s not that Su Mo is soft-hearted, but in the blink of an eye, he realized that the person who came was not a living person.
"Is it that reckless man named Wang?"
Under the cover of night, the door of Pinjian Tower was not closed, and the corpse was right in front of Su Mo. Its body was shriveled and withered, making it extremely difficult to recognize.
But judging from his clothing, he is exactly the same as the reckless man who boasts of fighting three hundred rounds every day.
