Volume 1: The Jianghu is the main thing, who is the guest? Chapter 29 Attack
The night is dark.
"It's the third hour now, beware of fire and thieves!"
The sounds of drums and night watchmen's shouts could be heard on the street.
A solitary lamp and a dim candle reflected the outline of an old ancestral hall in the thick night. It was dilapidated, decayed, and weathered, like an old man whose life was about to end.
In this ancient city of Chang'an, there are such ancestral halls everywhere, representing a certain family or noble family that was once prosperous in the past, or at least existed.
Under the light, Li Muchan sat cross-legged on a faded cushion and slowly opened his eyes.
In front of him were five old coffins placed horizontally.
The coffin lid had disappeared, revealing five dried corpses lying inside, emitting a foul stench. Not to mention the living, even insects, rats and wild dogs avoided it as far as possible.
Li Muchan had done a lot during the day. After all, it would take some time to get familiar with the members of the Demon Cult. In addition, he was injured, and there were many things to deal with. It would take a lot of effort to deal with them. In addition to the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, he had already divided them all in front of everyone, fearing that the group of people would have another idea.
Everyone has one.
Right now people's hearts are unstable and the two great protectors have both betrayed their religion. He can only calm people's hearts first and then think about other things.
Besides, he really didn't like places like "Liuxiang Pavilion". It was uncomfortable and unsafe.
That's why he chose this place.
It is convenient for practicing exercises and also for a person to think about many things.
For example, the "Clavicle of the Soul-Stirring Buddha Scroll".
Although he did not catch up with the battle between Shangguan Xiaoxian and the Water Envoy during the day, he heard the other party mention this martial art, as well as the "Young Girl Bewitching Technique".
He remembers it very clearly.
Is there any connection between the two?
He has been thinking about this question for a long time.
Although Shangguan Xiaoxian and he have achieved mutual success now, it won’t be long before this woman, once she has established her foothold, will definitely not let him go, and she will be his rival sooner or later.
Moreover, this person is cunning and has a perverse personality. If there is a better choice, he will probably die faster, so we must be on guard.
Especially after witnessing that masters like Rushui Shi actually died at the hands of Shangguan Xiaoxian so quickly and tragically, Li Muchan's sense of crisis almost reached its peak and he couldn't sleep all night.
Ultimately, it’s still because I don’t have enough strength.
Li Muchan sighed softly, thought for a long time, then pulled open a green brick from under the cushion and took out the wooden box containing the "Clavicle and Soul-Stirring Buddha Scroll".
He was now trapped in the midst of three forces, so naturally he would not carry this item with him, and so he had hidden it here long before entering the "Liuxiang Pavilion".
It’s better to take a look. Otherwise, if he encounters that damn magic in the future, he may not even be able to fight back.
When the wooden box was opened, he saw a colorful and extremely strange book lying inside. It was different from the magic books he had seen before.
Li Muchan took it out carefully and opened the colorful cover, but he was dumbfounded when he saw it.
There were neatly written lines of small characters, all in handwritten small characters, and the first sentence was -
[The beauty has a graceful manner, a sentimental feeling, an interesting spirit, her lips brush against the sun, her charming body welcomes the wind...]
Li Muchan's cheeks were stiff, his eyebrows were twitching, and his expression suddenly became strange.
This is not some kind of secret manual of magical power, it is clearly just obscene clichés.
He calmed down and looked down again, his brows furrowed. The words that followed were even more disgusting, comparable to the obscene words he had heard from those perverts in the brothel earlier, and each word was more difficult and profound than the last. In short, it was not human language.
"Could it be that the secret book is fake? Is Dao Twelve lying to me?"
Li Muchan's heart suddenly moved, his throat tightened, and he covered his mouth and began to cough violently involuntarily.
There is no reason.
This person planned everything and was not afraid to sacrifice his life for it. Moreover, there were indeed many hidden weapons buried under the statue, harboring murderous intentions. How could it be fake?
Is there some other mystery behind this?
Li Muchan took a deep breath and carefully brought the secret book to the light and baked it. The secret book turned out to be normal.
Do I need to use water?
He bit his fingertip again and smeared lightly on the paper.
But just with this application, Li Muchan secretly exclaimed "Huh", with surprise showing in his eyes, as if he had seen some secret.
He stretched out his hand and felt around on the paper again, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter. There was actually hidden text under the handwriting, with raised marks that were difficult to see with the naked eye; but after being covered with blood, it was revealed, just like a rubbing.
"It seems to be a method of internal energy breathing and guiding."
However, the more he looked back, the more Li Muchan's breathing stopped. His eyes gradually widened from being slightly narrowed to being round, as if he had seen something unspeakable.
But why?
It turned out that there were many bright portraits on the paper.
What’s even more bizarre is that these portraits are all of naked beautiful women, with bright colors, and look lifelike under the lights.
The more Li Muchan looked at it, the weirder his expression became.
But you can see these women either sitting or lying down, with pink arms and snow-white thighs, glowing with a radiant glow, each with its own exquisite posture. Even their eyebrows, eyes, mouths and noses are painted in great detail, making them look vivid and lifelike.
Li Muchan had wasted a lot of time over the years and had experienced the ups and downs of life in the market. He had seen books like this before, most of which were from the hands of young masters of aristocratic families and playboys, but this was the first time he had seen such books.
His breathing was a little rapid, and he felt his ears burning, his chest tight, and his mind was dizzy, but fortunately, as he breathed in and out, the strange sensations gradually subsided.
Li Muchan took a short break, then looked down again, groping for the text word by word.
It is indeed vivid. The eyebrows and eyes of the women in the painting are full of spring, and their faces are full of eroticism. Some have messy black hair and white chests, some hold golden needles lightly, and lie sideways in the embroidery cabinet...
no!!
Li Muchan suddenly closed the book, his chest and abdomen heaving like a bellows, his heartbeat so loud it was deafening.
"Could this thing be a peerless magical skill?"
Moreover, he had noticed that there seemed to be a faint, strange fragrance on the pages of the book. It was elegant and wafted through the paper, as if it was emitted by the woman in the painting, but it could make one's blood flow faster, one's heart and lungs flourish, and one's consciousness become a little confused.
Li Muchan realized that something was wrong, so he quickly turned over and jumped onto a coffin. He made a claw with his right hand and reached into the heart of the dead body, practicing his skills. As a stream of Yin energy flowed into his body through his index finger, he shuddered, as if he was relieved.
What a sinister thing! Could it be that someone has done something to him?
Li Muchan's eyes changed, and after hesitating for a moment, he opened the secret book again.
There is a powerful enemy ahead. If Shangguan Xiaoxian can be restrained, it might be of great use in a life-or-death situation.
As he turned the cover again, there was another strange change. Li Muchan's pupils shrank sharply, and he saw the women in the painting smiling charmingly. They actually flew out of the book one by one, like fairies and spirits, dancing around him, whispering to him, rubbing his ears with all the soul-stirring words in the book.
"Is this... an illusion?"
Li Muchan was very emotional, but he had not completely lost consciousness. He was shocked to find that the changes in these women's postures were extremely similar to Shangguan Xiaoxian's "The Great Method of Charming Girls". Moreover, in a trance, the appearance of all the women turned into Shangguan Xiaoxian's appearance.
“Oh no!”
With this thought in his mind, Li Muchan's tense expression suddenly changed. Sometimes he smiled foolishly, sometimes he was crazy, but his eyes were so red that blood seemed to drip out. His eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were clenched, and his whole body was shaking.
It is a sign of emotional ups and downs and loss of mind.
At this critical moment, all the illusions in front of Li Muchan's eyes suddenly disappeared.
In an instant, he seemed to have lost all his energy. He slumped to the ground, his hair disheveled and his whole body covered in sweat.
Looking closely, I saw that the oil lamp in the ancestral hall had run out of oil, the light was out, and it was pitch black all around.
a long time.
"call!"
Li Muchan let out a long breath.
At this moment, a sudden rapid noise was heard outside the ancestral hall.
The footsteps came very quickly, and they knocked lightly in front of the door, and said quickly: "Thunder Envoy, the time has come!"
Upon seeing this, Li Muchan buried the wooden box back under the blue bricks, kept the secret book close to his body, and then pushed the door open to leave.
There is a deep alley outside the ancestral hall.
As soon as he went out, he saw that the alley was crowded with more than a hundred people from the entrance to the end, all of them holding knives and swords, and they looked murderous.
The time has come.
Naturally, it is time to attack.
The Qinglong Society hadn't taken any action yet, but he didn't want to wait any longer.
As long as Shangguan Xiaoxian is in hand and the Jinqian Gang's secret treasure is used as bait, there is no need to worry that the "Qinglong Society" will not show up.
and……
He looked at these people, and there might be spies from the Qinglong Society among them.
The night wind is chilly and cold as a knife.
Li Muchan shook his cloak, his eyes twinkled, and he said softly, "Let's go!"
In an instant, the hundreds of figures in the alley disappeared into the night like ghosts, and their whereabouts could not be seen.
I was not feeling well today. I was in the hospital during the day and it’s a little late now.
