The legendary cake cutter [Comprehensive martial arts]

The atmosphere is stagnant.

With a distance of two or three steps, Miao Qi and Ximen Yu stood opposite each other, one with a vigilant face, and the other leisurely, but neither of them spoke first.

Not far away, the chirping of insects and birds in the forest also suddenly disappeared. Except for the sound of her chaotic heartbeat and breathing, Miao Qi could no longer catch any sound. Time seemed to stand still, maybe it had passed After a breath, or maybe a moment, Ximenyu made a move.

He raised his hand, seemingly slowly reaching towards Miao Qi's chest.

Miao Qi moved her steps subconsciously, preparing to back away, but the next second, Ximenyu's hand had firmly covered his heart, and a cold internal force poured into his heart veins. Travel to the meridians of the whole body.

That feeling, as if there were countless ice picks piercing the body, it was painful and cold.

"Oh!" Miao Qi couldn't help but snorted in pain, a drop of physiological tears overflowed from the corner of his eyes, he stared at Ximenyu firmly, and said in a trembling voice: "Since you want to do something... just give it a good time, why bother to torture me so much?" people."

With a sound of 'tsk', Ximenyu raised his other hand unhurriedly, wiped it at the corner of Miao Qi's eyes, and then said softly: "You silly boy, what are you thinking about? Calm down and remember the operation of internal force. Way."

Miao Qi was at a loss for a moment, as if he had guessed something, but he couldn't quite believe it.

After hesitating for two seconds, with the idea of ​​breaking the jar, he tried to calm down according to Ximenyu's instructions, then closed his eyes, and felt the inner force in his body that had brought him endless torment.

Because of the interference of the pain, it was difficult for Miao Qiyi to concentrate at the beginning, but after that internal force circulated for a week, the pain suddenly disappeared, replaced by a refreshing coolness.

Miao Qi noticed that her breathing and heartbeat seemed to be slowly slowing down.

"There are many waterways under the Shenshui Palace. If you want to sneak into the Shenshui Palace quietly, it is best to take the waterway. What I am teaching you now is a technique that can hold your breath underwater for a long time. The use of that invisibility technique is enough to allow you to travel unimpeded in Shenshui Palace."

After guiding the inner force to circulate in Miao Qi's body for another week, Ximen Yu withdrew his hand and waited for a moment, waiting for Miao Qi to recover from his comprehension before explaining aloud.

Miao Qi looked puzzled and asked, "Why did you do this?"

"I said that when the time comes, I will naturally give you an explanation." Ximenyu smiled, raised his hand and patted Miao Qi's shoulder, and said: "Okay, what should be done has been done, and I will also give you an explanation." time to go."

"Anyway, I still want to thank you."

Miao Qi curled her lips and thanked Ximen Yu.

To be honest, he has been dazzled by Ximen Yu's various behaviors, and he can't tell whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, but anyway, this thank you still has to say, who let him take the benefits of others? .

As for the 'timing' mentioned by Ximenyu, Miao Qi didn't expect much.

He has already made up his mind to stay away from Ximenyu in the future.

As soon as Ximenyu left, Chu Liuxiang looked for him on his back. After seeing the pair of knives stuck in the tree trunk, he immediately asked nervously, "Ah Qi, how are you? Did he make things difficult for you?"

Shaking his head with a strange expression, Miao Qi walked to the tree and retracted his two knives.

"I'm fine, by the way, Brother Chu, why are you here now?"

Miao Qi remembered that Chu Liuxiang chased after him immediately after he left, logically speaking, it shouldn't be so slow to catch up.

Chu Liuxiang gave a wry smile, and explained: "I just chased out of Yongcui Mountain Villa, when I heard Lao Hu calling me from behind, saying that Liu Wumei suddenly fell ill, so I had to turn back."

When the drug addiction broke out, Liu Wumei fell into a state of madness, crying and self-harming herself. Now that she has no internal strength, when Li Yuhan tried to stop her, she did not dare to use her full strength because of scruples.

As for Hu Tiehua, because of the difference between men and women, it is not easy to make a direct move.

In the end, it was Chu Liuxiang who came out and managed to touch Liu Wumei's acupoints in the air to solve the problem.

After such a delay, when Chu Liuxiang chased him out again, Miao Qi was nowhere to be found. After losing his direction, he had no choice but to search around aimlessly. Being able to arrive at this time was already the result of his hard work.

Fortunately, nothing happened to Miao Qi, otherwise, Chu Liuxiang would definitely blame herself.

"Brother Chu, thank you for your hard work."

Patting Chu Liuxiang's shoulder, Miao Qi let out a long sigh and said with emotion: "Today is really exciting." From morning until now, he couldn't count how many brain cells he had consumed.

It's just a heart-wrenching experience.

After this incident, he realized a profound truth.

When making friends in the future, you really can't find someone who is too smart.

It's better to pay Hu Tiehua's silly, white and sweet type. Well, although Hu Tiehua sometimes cheats a little bit, at least, he doesn't need to waste his brain when dealing with him, and he won't be as difficult to deal with as Ximenyu.

Five days later.

In the peach grove outside Shenshui Palace, Miao Qi and Chu Liuxiang started to finalize the route while gnawing dry food while looking at the map they got from Su Rongrong.

When the two of them were choosing a route, some differences occurred.

Chu Liuxiang wanted to follow the route provided by Su Rongrong, but Miao Qi proposed to take the water route.

Drawing with her fingertips on the map, Miao Qi pointed to another route, and analyzed: "Look, this river runs through the entire Shenshui Palace. If we take this route, we should be able to sneak into the Shenshui Palace quietly. .”

After thinking for a while, Chu Liuxiang said: "It's not impossible to go this way, but in this way, we will inevitably pass through several heavily guarded places and need to hide in the water for a long time."

"You lived in the desert before, and your underwater skills are probably..."

The reason why Chu Liuxiang wanted to choose the land route was because Miao Qi might not be good at diving.

If not, Chu Liuxiang would definitely choose the water route.

He has lived in the sea for a long time, and his underwater kung fu is very good, and because his nose is not good, he has also learned a set of kung fu to breathe underwater by relying on his skin. Therefore, for Chu Liuxiang, walking by water is actually the most convenient and safe. method of insurance.

Miao Qi coughed twice, and explained: "I was really not good at this, but that guy Ximenyu taught me a set of exercises to hold my breath underwater before he left."

"He lured you out specially for this reason?"

Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Ah."

Miao Qi nodded, and lowered her head a little guilty.

For some reason, he didn't tell Chu Liuxiang about this before.

Chu Liuxiang smiled, avoiding this question considerately, and just said with a smile: "In this case, let's take the waterway, let's rest here first, and then set off after dark."

"it is good."

Miao Qi nodded, following Chu Liuxiang's lead, picked a relatively thick peach tree, jumped on it, and then sat on the trunk, closing her eyes and meditating.

After a while, when Chu Liuxiang's breathing became more and more slow, and after he settled down, Miao Qi suddenly opened his eyes, and quietly took out a letter from his arms.

This letter is exactly the one that Ximen Yu gave him before leaving.

Miao Qi opened the letter, looked at the few lines left in the letter repeatedly, and fell into deep thought.

Ximen jade... Where is it sacred?

Should he trust the other party and do what the letter said?

Shenshui Palace is a very mysterious place. In Liu Wumei's narration, it is undoubtedly an extremely terrifying dragon's pool and tiger's lair, but in Su Rongrong's description, it is a paradise with beautiful scenery, like a fairyland.

For Chu Liuxiang and Miao Qi, this is a maze full of unknowns.

And Yin Ji, the jellyfish, is the most terrifying and powerful guardian in this maze.

There are few rumors about Shenshui Palace in the Jianghu, but there are many rumors about the jellyfish Yin Ji. This is a woman full of mystery.

As early as many years ago, Jellyfish Yin Ji was known as the number one master of the Central Plains martial arts.

She founded Shenshui Palace to take in many poor homeless women and provide them with shelter, but she hated men very much. Under her leadership, the women in Shenshui Palace also hated men very much. .

Over the years, countless men have died under the hands of Shenshui Palace, so in the eyes of most men, she is undoubtedly a very terrifying woman.

Therefore, before leaving, Chu Liuxiang repeatedly asked Miao Qi to make a promise that no matter what happened at that time, he would not reveal his whereabouts—even if he fell into danger.

Of course Miao Qi was unwilling to agree.

Therefore, in order to achieve his goal, Chu Liuxiang even released a 'threat'.

"If you don't agree, I will no longer recognize you as a brother in the future."

Miao Qi, who had already half-submerged in the water: "...don't be so ruthless, right?"

"Do you agree or not?"

After a stalemate for a while, under Chu Liuxiang's extremely firm gaze, Miao Qi finally raised the white flag. He raised his hand helplessly and assured him, "Okay, okay, I will definitely not act rashly, and I will never take the initiative to reveal my whereabouts."

What seems wrong with this guarantee?

Chu Liuxiang frowned, and was about to think about it carefully, but was interrupted by Miao Qi.

"It's getting late, Brother Chu, let's not delay here, let's go!"

After walking a few steps deep, Miao Qi urged Chu Liuxiang, and then without waiting for Chu Liuxiang's response, she plunged into the water and swam towards the Shenshui Palace first.
