Chapter 255 Assassination of Ren Yingying and the Peerless Master
In the evening, Huashan thought about crossing the cliff.

On a stone path, a disciple of the Huashan School in a white shirt was walking up the mountain quickly, holding a lunch box in his hand.

He was the disciple who delivered food to Linghu Chong.

Ever since Linghu Chong had been thinking about the cliff face, someone had to bring him meals every day.At first, it was Yue Lingshan who delivered the meals.But since Yue Lingshan got together with Lin Pingzhi last month, she seldom went up the mountain, and the person who delivered the meals became the white-clothed disciple in front of her.

The Huashan disciples were walking, when a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of him, with a green robe and a loose belt, holding a folding fan in his hand, his face was like a crown jade, and he was dignified. He was the head of the Huashan School——Yue Buqun.

Huashan disciple stopped in his tracks and hurriedly saluted: "Master, why are you here?"

Yue Buqun asked, "Where are you going?"

"Reporting to Master, this disciple will deliver dinner to Senior Brother."

"You don't need to deliver food anymore." Yue Buqun said, "Chong'er is thinking about his past in the cave, so don't bother him, his diet is arranged by the teacher."

"Yes."

"Also, you keep this matter a secret for the time being."

"The disciple understands."

After confessing a few words, the Huashan disciple left in a hurry.

Afterwards, Yue Buqun carried a white bundle, and followed a small path, sneaking away from Huashan Mountain, and came to a forest at the foot of Huashan Mountain.

At this time night had fallen, after Yue Buqun made sure that there was no one around, he wiped his face with his hand, and tore off a human skin mask, revealing a delicate face, it was Linghu Chong.

To be precise, it was Liu Xing.

Liu Xing decided to leave Huashan tonight. Before leaving, he used the disguise technique to pretend to be Yue Buqun and fooled several Huashan disciples to ensure that no one would find out about Linghu Chong's disappearance.

In this way, Liu Xing can go to Heimuya with peace of mind.

Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Liu Xing would not go to Heimuya as Linghu Chong, he decided to use the disguise technique to change his appearance.

Taking out the disguise materials prepared in advance from the bag, Liu Xing began to toss in the woods.

Half an hour later, he dressed himself up as an ordinary scholar.

After changing his clothes, Liu Xing walked out of the woods, bought a white horse for 5 taels of silver in a nearby market, and then set off immediately on the white horse.

It is about 1000 kilometers from Huashan to Heimuya, and the journey is extremely long.Liu Xing's lightness kung fu is the best in the world. Theoretically, he can reach Heimuya faster than riding a horse.

However, the situation is not that simple.

Lightness kungfu itself needs to consume internal energy. Liu Xing is currently using Linghu Chong's body, and his internal energy is mediocre. If he runs for dozens of kilometers continuously, he will be exhausted.If he was allowed to run more than 1000 kilometers, it is estimated that he would have lost half his life when he arrived at Heimuya.

On the contrary, if you ride a horse, you can reach Heimuya in less than ten days as long as you drive overnight.

Therefore, under comprehensive consideration, riding a horse is a better choice.

After driving all day overnight, Liu Xing arrived in Luoyang City the next day, and found an inn in Xicheng, planning to rest for the night.

That night, Liu Xing ordered a few side dishes and sat alone in the inn drinking wine.

While drinking wine, a middle-aged man suddenly walked into the inn, about 30 years old, wearing black clothes, with a stern face, holding a blue long sword in his hand.

The black-shirted man's footsteps were very light, so his lightness kung fu should not be weak. Liu Xing glanced at the black-shirted man out of the corner of his eye, and saw his cold eyes and indifferent expression. His intuition told him that the black-shirted man was probably a killer.

"Swordsman" is a martial arts world with swords and swords. It's not surprising that there are killers, but this black-shirted man can be regarded as a one-of-a-kind master. People who are targeted by this level of killers are probably very lucky.

"It looks like someone in Luoyang City is going to suffer."

The purpose of Liu Xing's trip is to go to Heimuya to find Dongfang Bubai and "Swordsman 2", originally he didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

However, the few words of the man in black caught Liu Xing's attention.

"Guest officer, are you going to be a top player or staying in a hotel?"

The man in black had no expression on his face, and asked coldly, "Xiaoer, where is there bamboo in Luoyang City?"

"Bamboo?" The waiter was surprised, "Guest officer, what do you want bamboo for? Do you want to make poles, weave bamboo baskets, or make bamboo flutes..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The man in black put his long sword directly on the neck of the waiter, "Where is there bamboo in Luoyang City?"

The waiter was so frightened that he trembled, and said in a trembling voice, "Bamboo... oh, I remembered... There is a green bamboo lane in the east part of Luoyang City. There is a bamboo forest there. You can go and have a look."

"Green Bamboo Lane?"

The black-clothed man inquired about the exact location of Green Bamboo Lane, and hurried away with his long sword in hand.

After watching this scene, Liu Xing noticed something unusual.

In "Swordsman", there is indeed a Green Bamboo Lane in the east of Luoyang City, where Ren Yingying and Lvzhuweng lived.This man in black shirt inquired about the whereabouts of Green Bamboo Lane. Could it be that the person he wanted to kill was Ren Yingying?

Thinking of this, Liu Xing decided to take a look at Green Bamboo Lane.

"Little Er, check out."

"Okay."

After paying the bill, Liu Xing left the inn. After that, he followed the black-clothed man secretly from the west city to the east city, and finally came to a narrow alley.

It was late at night, and the alley was quiet. At the end of the alley, there was a green bamboo forest.

There are several huts in the green bamboo forest, all of which are made of bamboo.At this time, a black carriage was parked outside one of the largest houses, and beside the carriage was an old man in his 50s, who seemed to be an old coachman.

The old coachman was in high spirits, humming a ditty while drinking the wine.

Whoosh!
Suddenly, the black-clothed man flew past, the sword light flashed across the old coachman's neck, a stream of blood sprayed out, and the old coachman was killed on the spot.

After killing the old coachman, the man in black shirt turned into a black shadow with a long sword in his hand, and jumped into a house from the window.

Scanning around, I saw a table in the house, and on the table were a Yaoqin and a pipe flute.In front of the table, there is a scene of white gauze, and behind the gauze is a bamboo bed, in which a young woman is sleeping.

The woman was wearing a green dress and was lying on her side. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, she could still vaguely see her graceful figure through the light veil.

This green-clothed woman is none other than Ren Yingying, the holy aunt of the Sun Moon God Sect.

Looking at Ren Yingying, the black-clothed man's eyes suddenly showed killing intent. With a flick of the long sword in his hand, he flashed out lightly, passed through the veil, and stabbed directly at Ren Yingying.

Ren Yingying was already in a deep sleep, and she still didn't notice when the long sword pierced her back.

Seeing this, Liu Xing, who was hiding in the dark, knew that if he didn't make a move, Ren Yingying would surely die. With a wave of his right hand, he threw a small stone.

boom!
The stone hit the long sword, and the man in black felt his wrist go numb, and the long sword in his hand immediately fell to the ground.

"Who?"

The man in black was shocked.

At the same time, Ren Yingying who was on the bed was also awakened: "Who is it?"

Before she finished speaking, Ren Yingying jumped up from the bed, drew out a short sword, and turned into a green shadow and galloped out.The short sword in his hand danced rapidly, with a few clangs, he stabbed at the man in black shirt, his moves pointed at his vitals.

The man in black was unarmed and had no power to parry. He was forced to back up again and again. When he hit the corner of the house, Ren Yingying's dagger was already on his neck.

"Who are you?" Ren Yingying's voice sank.

The black-clothed man seemed to know that his situation was over. He wiped his neck against the blade of the dagger, and bright red blood gushed out. He rolled his eyes and fell limp on the ground.

The man in black is dead.

"Holy aunt, what happened?" At this moment, an old man rushed into the house, he was the green bamboo man.

Ren Yingying put away her dagger: "A killer appeared out of nowhere."

"Killer?" Green Bamboo Weng was startled.

"The killer is already dead." Ren Yingying looked at the long sword dropped by the man in black, with doubts on her cheeks, "Strange, this killer had a chance to kill me just now, but how could the long sword in his hand be Suddenly fell to the ground?" Xiumei frowned slightly, "Could it be...someone secretly helped?"

Turning her head, Ren Yingying asked Lvzhuweng: "Did you see anyone around when you came in just now?"

Green Bamboo Weng shook his head: "I heard the sound of fighting in the room, so I hurried in to have a look, but I didn't find anyone suspicious. Holy lady, who is this killer?"

Ren Yingying said: "Before I had time to ask, he committed suicide."

"Who is so bold?" Green Bamboo Weng frowned and reminded: "Holy aunt, you are going to Heimuya to preside over the alchemy ceremony tomorrow, so be careful along the way."

The so-called Pill Rewarding Conference is actually the antidote for rewarding the Three Corpses Brain God Pill.

The three-corpse brain god elixir that all members of the Sun Moon God Sect take, this poison occurs once a year, so they need to take an antidote every year.

Ren Yingying is the holy aunt of the Sun Moon God Sect, and she is responsible for rewarding the antidote of the Three Corpse Brain God Pill for all the believers every year.

Half a month later, it will be the day of the Sun Moon God Sect's Pill Appreciation Conference. Ren Yingying is going to leave for Heimuya tomorrow, and the carriage parked in Green Bamboo Alley is here to pick her up.

"Pill Rewarding Conference?"

Knowing this information, Liu Xing, who was hiding on the roof, made a temporary decision to go with Ren Yingying to Heimuya together.

On the one hand, you can get the antidote for the Three Corpse Brain Pill from Ren Yingying, and on the other hand, you can check the news of Aojianghu by the way.

Because Liu Xing suspected that the assassination tonight was planned by Ao Jianghu.

Ren Yingying is the heroine of "Swordsman", according to the plot of the original novel, it is impossible for her to be killed by a killer.

However, if Liu Xing hadn't rescued her tonight, Ren Yingying would have died under the sword of the man in black.

Therefore, the assassination incident tonight is a plot that did not exist in the original novel of "Swordsman"!
In other words, this plot was planned by someone.

After analyzing this point, the answer is obvious, the mastermind behind tonight's assassination should be Ao Jianghu.

Ao Jianghu has become obsessed with "Swordsman", and has awakened his self-awareness. He has the ability to plan events that do not exist in the original plot of "Swordsman".

"Why did Aojianghu kill Ren Yingying?"

Liu Xing felt strange, and now he could only follow the clues to find new clues from Ren Yingying.

After this episode, Ren Yingying continued to rest in the house, while the green bamboo man took the body of the man in black and buried him in the green bamboo forest.

As for Liu Xing, they dragged away the body of the killed old coachman and buried him in the green bamboo forest.After that, Liu Xing changed into the clothes of the old coachman, and then used the disguise technique to pretend to be the old coachman, and then returned to the carriage in the green bamboo forest.

……

In the early morning of the next day, golden sunlight shot down from among the emerald green bamboo leaves, and Liu Xing sat in front of the black carriage.

His current identity has become an old coachman.

squeak-

At this time, the bamboo door of the house opened, and a woman in green clothes came out, her face was covered with a thin veil, it was Ren Yingying.

She is going to Heimuya today.

"Holy aunt, be careful all the way," said the green bamboo man.

Ren Yingying walked lightly to the black carriage, sat in the carriage, and said to Liu Xing outside the carriage: "Elder Yintang, you can go."

"Yes." Liu Xing replied. Until now, he didn't know that this old coachman was not an ordinary person, but an elder named Yin from the Sun Moon God Sect. His status seemed not low.

Liu Xing didn't think much, he flicked the whip in his hand, and drove the carriage away from Green Bamboo Lane.

The speed of the carriage is faster than expected. The black horse in front of me is much stronger than the white horse that Liu Xing bought for 5 taels of silver. Ren Yingying's carriage is probably the Rolls-Royce in the world of "Swordsman" Bar.

An hour later, the carriage left Luoyang City from the east gate, and then headed north along an official road.

The sun is shining today, and it is a pleasant trip to drive a luxury carriage on the spacious avenue.

Along the way, Ren Yingying remained silent. She sat quietly in the carriage, hardly saying a word.

This saves trouble, if you talk too much, you will lose it, so Liu Xing will not reveal his secrets.

Today's itinerary went very smoothly. In the evening, the carriage drove into a forest.

Liu Xing was sitting on the carriage, gnawing dry food, while checking the surrounding environment.There are no residents in this forest for dozens of miles, it is very remote, and there are so many towering ancient trees around it, it is really an excellent place for murder, arson, robbery and rape.

Bang!
Just as he was thinking, suddenly, there was a blaring sound from the road about ten meters ahead. Liu Xing was just about to stop the horse, when a puff of thick black smoke came out from the front and rushed towards him.

"Holy aunt, there is poisonous gas!"

Liu Xing urgently reminded, hearing this, the figure of Ren Yingying in the carriage flashed, flew out of the car window, and fell under an ancient tree a few meters away at the same time as Liu Xing.

However, when her feet first touched the ground, Ren Yingying felt dizzy for a while, her legs went limp, and she sat down on the ground. After a while, she felt weak all over, and she didn't even have the strength to stand up.

"Risk tendon loose?"

Ren Yingying frowned slightly, she had already realized that she was poisoned.

While speaking, suddenly, nine figures swept down from the tops of the surrounding ancient trees and landed in front of him. The people who came were nine men in black clothes, their faces were covered with black cloth, and they were holding big knives. Obviously, the people who came were not good.

A bald-headed man in black asked, "Are you the holy lady of the Sun Moon God Sect?"

Ren Yingying asked back: "Who are you?"

The bald-headed man in black said: "I have heard about the reputation of the holy aunt for a long time, and I am lucky to meet you today. It's just that someone asked us to kill you. It's so offending. I hope the holy aunt will forgive me."

"What a big tone!" Ren Yingying waved her small hand, pulled out a dagger from her bosom, and was about to get up to fight, but unfortunately, she didn't even have the strength to hold the sword, and the dagger in her hand fell with a bang on the ground.

The bald man in black said: "Both of you have been hit by Ruanjinsan, so you don't need to struggle anymore."

In fact, Liu Xing was not poisoned. He had just secretly performed the breath-holding key of "Nine Yin Manual", stopped breathing, and the poisonous gas from Ruan Jin San did not enter his body at all.Just to avoid revealing his identity, he temporarily pretended to be poisoned.

"Holy aunt, offended!"

As soon as the words fell, a man in black rushed over and slashed at Ren Yingying with a big knife.

Ren Yingying's complexion changed, she put her hands on the ground, and wanted to get up, but at this moment, she couldn't dodge at all, and could only watch helplessly as the man in black stabbed at her head...

Zheng!
Suddenly, the short sword that fell on the ground flew up out of thin air, and with a ding sound, it knocked down the big knife in the man's hand in black.

Immediately afterwards, the dagger suddenly transformed into a sword shadow and passed in front of the man in black. With a scream, the man in black fell to the ground and passed out.

The surroundings returned to calm again.

Ren Yingying was startled, her mind a little confused: "What happened?"

She seemed to see her short sword flying out of nowhere, and then killed the man in black. This...is this an illusion?

However, looking at the man who was already lying on the ground, all this seemed to be true again.

Just when Ren Yingying was puzzled, Liu Xing was very calm.

He had just secretly used the "Dragon Capturing Technique", manipulating the short sword in the air, and combined with the mental method of "Dugu Nine Swords", he used two types of sword moves.

Liu Xing's "Nine Swords of Dugu" has initially achieved the integration of human and sword. After the fusion of "Dragon Capture Skill", he can control the short sword in the air quietly and kill people invisible.

"how can that be?"

The other eight black-clothed men looked at each other, and after meeting their gazes, the bald-headed man in the lead said, "Let's go together!"

After finishing speaking, another seven men in black rushed towards Ren Yingying with big knives.

The moment they rushed out, Liu Xing thought, and the dagger flew out of thin air again, and with a whistling sound, it flew towards the seven men head-on.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Like lightning, the short sword drew a zigzag sword shadow in midair. After a strange noise, seven men fell in seven different directions at the same time.

Never got up again.

There was deathly silence again.

Seeing this scene, the last bald-headed man in black was stunned and thought he had seen a ghost, so he turned around and ran away.

Liu Xing frowned, and the dagger flew up again, shooting out like a sharp arrow.

Whoosh!
With a flash of the sword shadow, the short sword had pierced into the knee of the bald man's left leg.

"what!"

With a scream, the man fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the nine black-clothed killers were wiped out.

There was calm again in the woods.

Although she saw everything with her own eyes, Ren Yingying still couldn't believe the facts before her.

A dagger that can fly by itself and kill so many people?
"what is the problem?"

Ren Yingying raised her brows, recalling the scene of the dagger wounding someone just now, and then looked at the surrounding woods, "Is there a peerless expert to help?"
