Stop water and do nothing

Fearing that Shang Qianshui would wait too long, Gao Zhiqi hurried back to the room, but was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he almost dropped the bowl.

All I saw was that Shang Qianshui was lying on the ground without moving, and the ball rolled into the corner, eerily quiet...

"Thousands of water!!"

Gao Zhiqi's heart stopped for half a beat, as if seeing the bottom of the valley under him disappear, and he fell into an endless abyss!

"Ah..." Shang Qianshui moved his body a little and let out a cry of pain.

"Qianshui!" Seeing that his 'bottom of life' was able to move again, Gao Zhiqi breathed a sigh of relief and then shook his body, put down the bowl and walked over to squat down to look at him, "Qianshui, are you okay, why are you lying on the ground and scaring me?" ?!"

"I...I'm sorry..." Shang Qianshui propped up half of his body, lowered his head and apologized, "I accidentally fell..."

"Are you okay? How come you can't move because of the fall?!"

"I..." Shang Qianshui heard the displeasure of Gao Zhiqiu, and his voice was lower, "I tried to stand up, but I fell down immediately. I tried again, and I still fell, fell back and forth, I don't know why..."

"Uh..." Gao Zhiqi suddenly thought of the reason, and quickly apologized softly, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I forgot to tell you."

"what?"

"The floor tiles in this room were trampled and collapsed by the martial arts people who came to fight, and there are many loose spots. You must follow the route of 'up, up, left, left, up, right, right, right, down, right, up, up, left, up' to go back and forth. Will keep falling down."

"Ah, so exciting..." But I was embarrassed to tell him that I really wanted to play like this once.

"Let's change the room and eat noodles again!" Seeing that Shang Qianshui was able to sit up, Gao Zhiqi took advantage of the situation and hugged him horizontally.This movement has been done smoothly and familiarly, because this posture only touches the back and can avoid confrontation with Liehan in front of him, so naturally it has become the safest posture for getting along with Shang Qianshui!

Shang Qianshui didn't say anything, and seemed to accept being hugged by Gao Zhiqi as naturally...

Following the correct route, Gao Zhiqi hugged Shang Qianshui to the corner, asked him to pick up the falling ball, then returned along the road, passed through two human-shaped wall holes, and arrived at another connected room.

It is also an empty room, but at least every floor tile is solid, except that the ceiling is full of holes of different sizes, and a few beams are broken, and the whole thing is about to collapse at any time... But Just don't collapse!

Shang Qianshui stepped on the floating ground, held the ball and looked up at the sky and the moon, with a lot of feelings in his heart.

"The artistic conception is very good, isn't it?" Gao Zhiqi chuckled, and walked over with the bowl of noodle soup.It suddenly occurred to him that Shang Qianshui also asked him when he was talking about the leak in the ceiling in Shangshui Palace that day, "Isn't the artistic conception very good?" '

"Stop giving up..."

Thinking that he was really afraid that the roof would collapse, Gao Zhiqi first smiled and explained, "Don't be afraid, it's just the traces left by the fight. Wulin people like to choose to fight on the roof. Heroic."

"Do you play every day?"

"Hit every moment, whenever you say it."

"Ah..." Is this what the book says, the heroes compete for the hegemony in the martial arts world?What is the rivers and lakes like?I really want to go and see...

Looking at that dull, obedient, supple and soft face, not knowing what he was thinking, Gao Zhiqi passed the noodles over, "Come on, eat quickly."

If it hadn't been so troublesome, he would have settled Shang Qianshui already, and there was no need for him to hide in the inn.Thinking of this, Gao Zhiqi couldn't help but blame himself.

"It's okay, I'm not very hungry." Shang Qianshui smiled.

"How is it possible, you haven't..."

During the conversation, a black shadow flashed across the ground, Gao Zhiqi looked up and stared, there was someone on the roof!

Usually, night raiders will lurk on the house, uncovering a gap in the tiles to spy on the movement inside the house.However, the roof of the Baitong Inn has already been leaked with holes of all sizes, so it is up to you to see what suits you.On the contrary, if someone passes by outside the house, even the slightest movement will be noticed immediately.

"Today the inn is closed, no reception will be accepted, please come back another day." Gao Zhiqi held the bowl in his left hand, and pulled out the copper water ladle from his waist with his right hand.

The ground under his feet shook, Gao Zhiqi raised his eyebrows, the man did not leave, but landed on the other side opposite him!

As night fell, the father had gone back to his room and fell asleep. At this time, the inn was pitch black, and he couldn't see his fingers.Gao Zhiqi stood in the room, Shang Qianshui leaned beside him, an oil lamp on the wall reflected their staggered shadows...

The wind stopped, everything was silent, and everything was as calm as empty.

Shang Qianshui hugged Yong Ningzhu tightly, "Qi Qi, is this the one who came to fight with you?"

"Shh..." Gao Zhiqi made a silent gesture.Shang Qianshui pursed her lips and stopped speaking.

The foundation of the inn is supported by only one pile, and a slight movement will cause shaking, so no matter where you are, you can also use this to perceive the positions of both parties.

A figure of unknown origin is hidden in the darkness, silent and colorless, without hearing any movement.People who practice martial arts have sharp facial features, and their foundation is not bad, but they can't sense the opponent's breath. It can be seen that this person's body is extremely hidden and secretive, and those who have this ability are mostly killers or assassins.

There was a bad omen, Gao Zhiqi said to Shang Qianshui in a deep voice, "Follow me closely, don't leave me."

Shang Qianshui nodded vigorously, and leaned closer to him obediently.But seeing Gao Zhiqi dodge a little bit, just because of the cold ball.

The air was quiet, Gao Zhiqi glanced at the bowl in his left hand, the soup in the bowl was slowly tilting to one side, and the corners of his mouth were curled up, knowing that the other party was trying to approach this side.

The copper water ladle rotates and exhales the wind, rolls up the flame of the oil lamp, Gao Zhiqi guides it to a candle, and throws it to the roof. A complex and confusing phantom!

Shang Qianshui watched all this in amazement and held his breath.The dim light of the fire shone on Gao Zhiqi's face, revealing a smile...

The self is in the light, the enemy is in the dark, the enemy is reality, and the self is emptiness.

Glancing at the tilt of the soup in the bowl, as expected, a flash point burst out of the darkness and grabbed the two of them!

It is a hidden weapon.

Gao Zhiqi stood in front of Shang Qianshui, the hidden weapon passed through their bodies, and disappeared in the blink of an eye! ?It turned out that it was just a phantom.

Moving shadow sword style.

More hidden weapons were thrown one after another, and each one was a target.The other party wanted to test the truth, Gao Zhiqi took his time and led Shang Qianshui to hide in the layers of light and shadow, standing still.

Although he couldn't see the figure clearly in the dark, no matter how light and delicate his movements were, he could conceal his five senses, but he still couldn't hide the hint of the 'water surface'!The soup in the bowl shakes from side to side, and when the center of gravity is tilted to the left, it proves that the opponent is using his right foot to exert force, and the angle of the hidden weapon is from the left, and vice versa.

In this way, Gao Zhiqi judged the hidden weapon's path by relying on the direction of the soup in the bowl, and shifted to dodge.This method is absurd and unheard of, but the effect is not bad.After a wave of attacks, all of them falsely fired, the opponent stopped when he saw this, and tried to approach the two people at the light source silently...

Gao Zhiqi squinted his eyes and looked serious, holding the copper water ladle tightly in his hand, just waiting for the other party to show his true colors!Unexpectedly, the floor suddenly shook, and the soup in the bowl shook violently, making it difficult to distinguish.Gao Zhiqi was slightly surprised, the opponent seized the opportunity and threw a wave of hidden weapons!

Having a bad idea, Gao Zhiqi hurriedly pushed Shang Qianshui to the corner to cover him with his body.

"Zhiqi!" Several hidden weapons hit Gao Zhiqi's back, Shang Qianshui's face turned pale, and his pulse was dangerously chaotic...

"Hush!" Gao Zhiqi signaled him not to make a sound, "I'm fine."

The phrase 'it's okay' is not that he is trying to comfort Shang Qianshui, but that he is really okay!The other party's move was suspected to be an assassin, Gao Zhiqi thought that what he threw must be poisonous needles and sharp thorns, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a bunch of dubious hard objects...

What exactly is it, the light is too dim to see clearly, but the places where I feel hit are all acupoints of Yungong, and every place is accurate!

This man is a master of acupoints, and he wants to seal his body!

Fortunately, in order to avoid the poison from invading the body, Gao Zhiqi sealed several meridians in advance, so that he would not be completely passive.After slowing down his strength, Gao Zhiqi concentrated his mind and held his breath, and began to try to exercise his energy to unravel the meridians.

But the opponent was obviously wrong to give him this opportunity, and soon, a wave of hidden weapons struck again!

Shang Qianshui suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of him.Seeing this, Gao Zhiqi forcibly interrupted his exercise in the middle and pushed him back to the corner with all his strength!

"Stop giving up..."

"Don't act recklessly!" Gao Zhiqi sternly said, "What if the enemy comes with a real poisonous needle!"

Stared at by the fire-reflected eyes, Shang Qianshui pursed his lips and did not dare to refute, so he obediently retreated behind Gao Zhiqiu...

After several trials, the man seemed to know Gao Zhiqi's technique, so every time before throwing the hidden weapon, he deliberately jumped a lot to make the ground vibrate.The soup in the bowl was shaking, and Gao Zhiqi could no longer use it to determine the path of the hidden weapon. In the darkness, several unidentified hard objects burst out again, and several meridians on his body were blocked!

"Damn..." He gritted his teeth secretly, picked up the copper water ladle, and was about to throw away the noodle bowl and fight the opponent.

Shang Qianshui didn't speak behind his back, just stretched out his hand to lightly touch the wall of the bowl, something happened that stunned Gao Zhiqi...

A bowl of soup with rippling water turned into clear water in an instant under the light tap of Shang Qianshui's finger!Not only that, on the turbulent ground, the water surface in the bowl can still be as calm as a mirror, without any waves!

This is! ?

Gao Zhiqi turned his head to look at Shang Qianshui, his eyes were full of surprise.Shang Qianshui didn't think too much, just asked in a low voice, "Is this okay?"

"Qian Shui..."

At this time, the figure in the darkness quickly approached, and a scent of flowers entered his nostrils, fragrant and fragrant, delicate and charming... The feeling of déjà vu made Gao Zhiqi shudder!Shang Qianshui thought that he was too close again, and his own cold made him uncomfortable, so he retreated a few steps, but was immediately grabbed back, "Don't go away!"

Shang Qianshui nodded in a daze...

Amidst the fragrance of flowers, a flash of light flashed, and another hidden weapon of unknown origin flew in, but this time the target was not the two of them, but the candle shining on the roof.

Where there is no light, there is no shadow, and where there is no shadow, there is truth.The key to the shadow body of Yiying Nine Swords lies in the light, and the opponent's attack has found a flaw!

Gao Zhiqi squinted his eyes, and swung a gust of wind, before the candle was shattered, the flame wick was cut out, and the copper ladle dipped in lamp oil just caught it.The scattered light sources converged into one point, and the phantom disappeared, leaving only two shadows in the dark room, one was Gao Zhiqi, and the other was Shang Qianshui.

The target is clear and accurate, and a hidden weapon is released decisively!

In an instant, the two shadows suddenly overlapped together, and then a sound echoed in the dark inn...

The one hit was not Gao Zhiqi, nor Shang Qianshui, but a gray long coat that was falling slowly.

The person hiding in the darkness was still stunned, when suddenly he felt a sharp blade scraping his thigh, he couldn't help groaning in pain, "Oh..."

Shen Ren's voice in his throat was full of masculinity, he was a man!

"A shadow without a shadow is a shadow when you see it. A sword without a sword is a sword in your hand." With a ladle on his waist, Gao Zhiqi held a noodle bowl with Zhishui Wulan in his left hand, and a pair of chopsticks leisurely twirling in his right hand , smiled at the man in the dark, "One thing can reflect all shadows, one shadow can reflect all things, there are ten thousand shadows but there are all things, and there are all things but there are ten thousand shadows. What is reality, what is shadow? What is True, what is false? Seeing is not believing, and the truth is not the same."

A cool wind blew by in the silent night, and the Baitong Inn shook for a few times, but there was no more sound...

"He's gone?" Shang Qianshui poked his head behind Gao Zhiqiu, looking into the empty darkness.

"Well, he ate me with a sword." Under the dim light, Gao Zhiqi glanced at the faint bloodstain on the chopsticks, thinking to himself...

"Stop abandoning?" Shang Qianshui called softly.

"Huh?" Turning his head, meeting a pair of sparkling eyes, Gao Zhiqi was sweating from the back of his head, "What's wrong with you, Qian Shui?"

"Zhi Qi, you were so powerful just now, how did you do it? Also, what do you mean by the shadow and the real?" After the tense atmosphere eased, Shang Qianshui finally couldn't hold back, and asked curiously ask.

"Is it great?"

"Well, as powerful as a martial arts hero!"

Gao Zhiqi couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this, he couldn't help but stretched out his hands to stroke the hair on both sides of his cheeks, and sighed, "There is no shadow and no sword, it can be transformed into thousands, this Nine Swords of Shifting Shadows is indeed a very powerful sword technique..." Gradually, a hint of helplessness and bitterness infiltrated his words, "It's a pity that I only have [-]% left now, and I can't use it to the extreme..."

Like many people, Gao Zhiqi also has a past that he doesn't want to mention, and a scar that he doesn't want to reveal.No matter how others ridiculed and sneered at this as a laughing stock, he ignored it and held his head high.But at this moment, in front of Shang Qianshui, he frankly revealed a sense of loneliness...

Shang Qianshui shook his head and smiled at him, "I don't understand swordsmanship either, I just think that you are very powerful, Zhiqi!"

"Qian Shui..."

"I mean... it's not about that Shadow Sword, it's about abandoning you, you're amazing!"

The innocent and innocent Young Master Shang can't speak, but what he says must be his sincere words.

"Thank you." The voice was so soft that even Gao Zhiqi himself didn't listen.

Naturally, Shang Qianshui didn't hear it either, and he laughed, "It's strange, but I suddenly remembered that I've seen this kind of sword technique before, and it's the same as the one you used in Zhiqi... No, it seems to be different, but it also seems to be different. The same one……"

The more he said this, the more confused he became, Shang Qianshui felt as if he was talking nonsense, so he stopped talking.

"Have you ever seen someone with this kind of swordsmanship?!" Gao Zhiqi was secretly surprised.

Before that, Shang Qianshui had been living in Shangshui Palace, and only had a chance to go to Qiangwei Tower, how could he know about Yiying Nine Swords? !But he would never lie to himself...

"I, I..." Shang Qianshui suddenly became nervous. He just intuited that he had seen it before and said it based on his impression. He didn't expect Gao Zhiqi to suddenly take it seriously.

"Just a random question, don't think too much." Gao Zhiqi didn't want to force him, so he calmed down and took the bowl in his hand, "Qian Shui is also very good."

"Me?!" Shang Qianshui pointed at himself.

The water in the bowl was still clear, Gao Zhiqi sighed lightly, "It's amazing, there is such an unimaginable power in the world."

Shang Qianshui's shoulders trembled, he lowered his head and hugged Yong Ningzhu tightly, "Yes..."

"Is it the Zhishui method?"

When it comes to this, Shang Qianshui's forehead is sweating, as if he is restraining himself, very uncomfortable.

"Qian Shui?" Sensing something was wrong, Gao Zhiqi approached him.

"I..." Shang Qianshui took a few steps back, turned his face away, and didn't dare to look at Gao Zhiqi again, "I, I...in fact, it's only [-]%, and..."

Sudden!A string of lights flashed in the darkness, piercing into Shang Qianshui's belly in the blink of an eye!

"what!"

The sudden turn of events caught people off guard!In the dim light of the fire, a bright red color emerged from Shang Qianshui's stomach...

As if his heart had been pulled from his chest, Gao Zhiqi threw away the noodle bowl, hugged Shang Qianshui with both hands and shouted, "Qianshui!"
