The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 43: The Manual of the Sword of the Cassation, three people traveling together? !

Xu Xingchen had no intention of getting to know Lin Pingzhi.

He came to Fuzhou City this time to steal the martial arts secrets passed down from ancestors. If they knew each other, would he still have the nerve to continue? !

Even if you have the nerve to do it, it will inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary trouble in the future!
After drinking tea and paying the bill, he stood up, picked up his stick, and left the shop.

As dusk approached, Xu Xingchen entered Fuzhou City and found an inn to stay in.

In the next few days, he wandered around the city, admiring the beautiful scenery of spring all year round and tasting the famous local snacks.

I have also visited the gate of Fuwei Escort Agency. The two big stone lions on the left and right, the escort flag flying high in the sky, the four large characters written in silver and iron on the plaque, and the eight sturdy escorts guarding the gate make the Fuwei Escort Agency look very grand.

Lin Zhennan and his wife had also seen him. When he went out and came home, he either rode a horse or drove a car, which was very impressive.

Xu Xingchen looked at it from a distance for a few seconds, then turned and left.

After asking around in Xiangyang Lane, it didn't take much effort to find the place. He went in and took a look around during the day and memorized the location of the Lin family's old house.

On the way back to the inn, I bought a wooden carved ghost face mask and some tools from a street stall.

In the inn room, he worked on the mask, adding some inconspicuous colors on it and installing a small prop to change the voice at the mouth.

When it was late at night and many families in the city turned off the lights and went to sleep, Xu Xingchen changed into a nightgown, put a mask on his face, glanced at the sword on the table and the stick in the corner of the door, hesitated for a moment, and chose the straight stick.

"There shouldn't be any martial arts secret manual in this world that is easier to steal than the Sword Manual of Exorcism, right?!"

Murmuring softly, he pushed open the window, jumped out, and closed it again gently.

There is no moon in the night sky tonight, and the city is so dark that you can't see your hand in front of you.

Xu Xingchen has great internal strength. Even if he cannot see the night as bright as the day, he can still see many things clearly.

His feet walked steadily and lightly on the roof tiles, and sometimes he gently leaped forward, crossing the long or short gaps and landing on the roof of another courtyard.

The feeling of walking alone at a high place at night is very fascinating!
In order to ensure a smooth operation tonight, Xu Xingchen booked a room in an inn near Xiangyang Lane, so it didn't take long for him to reach the roof of the Lin family's old house.

Glancing down at the courtyard below, a few lanterns under the eaves emitted a faint light, illuminating the blurry road.

Going further inside, there were no more candlelight or people in the rooms. The servants who stayed in the old house to do the cleaning had all fallen into dreams.

Xu Xingchen walked around the roof, but couldn't tell which house was the Buddhist temple, so he could only jump into the courtyard.

"Huh? Someone is lying in ambush in the yard?"

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Xu Xingchen felt two pairs of eyes on him. He was surprised and thought, "Could it be that there are guards on duty in this old house?"

After waiting for a while, he didn't see the two men shouting or making a sneak attack. They just hid in the dark and watched secretly. Xu Xingchen gradually had an idea in his mind: "I should have met someone in the same profession, but those two guys came first and ambushed in the dark of the yard."

"Don't worry about them. With those two cloves of garlic, even if they show up, we can kill them in a matter of minutes!"

Having made up his mind, Xu Xingchen turned lightly, walked through the corridor and went to the backyard.

He stopped for a moment at the door of every house he passed by, and then continued to move forward until he came to the door of a house in a remote corner. He smelled a strong scent of sandalwood, and Xu Xingchen immediately determined in his heart that this should be the Buddhist temple.

He took a look at the copper lock hanging on the door, moved to the window, touched it with his palm, and gently exerted his internal force. The wooden bolt inside immediately broke into two pieces and fell to the ground with two snaps.

Pushing the window open, the light in the room became even darker. Xu Xingchen found the lantern in the corner and lit it with a tinder placed beside it.

Six candles were lit in succession, and the white gauze lantern was gently covered. Bright light spread out, illuminating the entire room.

In the courtyard outside, the two people hiding in the dark were shocked by the courage of the man who entered the house. Seeing that the other party had a clear goal and went straight to the Buddhist hall, they couldn't help but stare at him more closely.

In the Buddhist hall, Xu Xingchen's eyes swept across the cushions and wooden fish on the ground, followed the low table and incense burner, and came to the portrait of Bodhidharma on the wall. Bodhidharma's finger was raised upwards, with a mysterious smile on his face!

Xu Xingchen bowed respectfully towards the portrait of Bodhidharma, then jumped up and smashed the tiles on the roof with a stick.

Crackling!

Amid the sound of broken tiles falling to the ground, a ball of red mixed with the scattered dust slowly floated down.

Xu Xingchen fell back to the ground, grabbed the red ball, moved it near a lantern, shook it open and saw that it was indeed a red cassock.

He turned the cassock over again and saw that the inside was covered with dense black handwriting, with four big characters written at the top: The Book of the Sword of Exorcism!
As my eyes continued to move downward, I saw those eight famous words.

In order to practice magical skills, he castrated himself!

Xu Xingchen smiled and was about to pack up the robes and take them back to study them slowly when suddenly a rapid sound of breaking air was heard in the air.

shhhhhh!
One after another, hidden weapons flew in from the open window and hit several major acupoints on Xu Xingchen's body at an astonishing speed!

"Hey, I left the window open so you could see what I was doing in there. Now, you can't help yourself, can you?"

Xu Xingchen raised his arm and tapped the tip of the stick repeatedly, knocking all the hidden weapons away. They were embedded in the nearby walls and wooden pillars with "pu pu pu pu".

Then two masked men in black jumped in, holding swords and pointing them at Xu Xingchen.

"What is that in your hand?"

"Hand over what you have!"

The two men asked and shouted, with fierceness in their eyes.

Xu Xingchen looked at the long swords in the hands of the two men thoughtfully, raised his red cassock, and laughed hoarsely: "Hahahaha, the cassock in my hand records Lin Yuantu's real Sword Manual of Exorcism, not the incomplete version that Lin Zhennan learned that lacks the essentials!"

"What? Is this the real Sword Manual of Exorcism?"

"No wonder when I saw Lin Zhennan practicing the Exorcist Sword Technique, he looked so ordinary. I thought that old guy was hiding his strength. It turns out that he didn't learn the real Exorcist Sword Technique!"

When the two masked men in black heard this, their eyes lit up frighteningly, and soon, they turned murderous and shouted, "Hand over the Sword Manual of Exorcism, and I will spare your life!"

Before he could finish his words, the two of them had already pounced on him, their bodies as light as the wind and their swordsmanship as swift as a pine tree.

Swish swish!
Two sword lights flashed, one sword pierced several acupoints on Xu Xingchen's chest, and the other sword cut Xu Xingchen's arm and shoulder that was holding the red robe.

The purpose is to force the other party to let go and also to kill!
The two of them cooperate seamlessly, with clear division of labor and strong strength. In some small places in the martial arts world, they can be regarded as masters.

Xu Xingchen swung the wooden stick, avoiding the sharp edge of the long sword, and only collided with the non-lethal sword spine, clanging and deflecting the two sword attacks.

He wanted to learn more about the two men's sword techniques, but he didn't want to fight with them in this Buddhist temple and damage the things inside.

After all, I just got the martial arts secrets from someone, and I feel embarrassed to destroy it.

Therefore, Xu Xingchen turned around, rushed past the two people, and jumped out of the window.

"Don't even think about running away!"

"Leave behind the Sword Manual of Exorcism!"

The two masked men in black thought that the other party was running away in fear, so they immediately shouted and chased after him.

　Collect, read, and vote, thank you all for your help!
