Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 227: The disappeared Han Wubing

Views:

After a moment.

The robbers were lying on the ground groaning. Zhao Changhe rode on one of them and raised his fist: "Tell me, what's the situation with Han Wubing? With your mediocre skills, do you think you can let him escape?"

The person who was talking was about to cry: "I just brought up Han Wubing's name to scare people, it wasn't us who drove him away..."

"What's that?"

"All I know is that Han Wubing killed Ji, the leader of Xingyi Gang, and was surrounded and attacked by the Xingyi Gang. Later, Peng, the boss of Pinghu Association, took action, and then Han Wubing left..."

"What's all this nonsense? What does this have to do with your Seventh Master Sha?"

"Didn't I tell you I was just trying to scare you? I made you think it was related."

"Fuck!" A fist as big as a vinegar jar hit him and knocked the man unconscious.

Zhao Changhe squatted down and felt around each person. There wasn't much money on them. They looked like low-level gang members. They saw him taking out money to buy a pancake, and he was just greedy for a moment.

Zhao Changhe stood up cursing, stuffed a few coins into his arms, turned around and looked at the Winged Fire Snake tilting its head to watch him snatch the money. The cute little piggy face immediately cheered him up again: "What are you looking at?"

Zhuque laughed and said, "Why did you stop me on purpose? Are you really afraid that I would kill them?"

"can not you do it?"

"meeting."

"Then I was right." Zhao Changhe walked out of the city: "Don't always think about killing people for such a small matter. It's unnecessary."

Suzaku didn't argue, but instead said "hmm" and walked out with him.

He seemed to be in a much better mood than Zhao Changhe.

Zhao Changhe was a little puzzled: "So obedient?"

"Nothing." Zhuque said leisurely: "Seeing that you are not a pedantic hero, it is quite to my taste."

"Tsk, virtue."

What Suzaku said was true.

When she was stopped, Zhuque was a little unhappy, but after Zhao Changhe's actions, she found it very interesting. It was even more interesting to watch him rob money. After all, he was the leader of the magic sect. Whether they were suitable to get along with each other, in addition to considering their abilities, of course, also depended on whether their temperaments and styles of doing things were compatible.

So far, Zhao Changhe's temperament and behavior are completely in line with the aesthetics of the Four Symbols Sect.

As for Han Wubing and the like, what does it have to do with her... Instead, she was secretly angry, because of this trivial matter, she would definitely not be able to go shopping.

Anyone who has studied Zhao Changhe knows that although Han Wubing has only been with Zhao Changhe for a short time, he holds a high position in Zhao Changhe's heart, because if women are not counted, Han Wubing is his first friend, and they hit it off right away. Before Tang Buqi, Situ Xiao and others showed up, she was even his only friend.

As expected, Zhao Changhe no longer had any interest in shopping, so he quickened his pace and quickly left the city.

Suzaku angrily threw the last bit of pancake far away.

… …

The shore of Ancient Sword Lake was still the same as before, with people wandering around in groups of three or four, hoping to find the legendary ancient sword - people didn't know that the ancient sword had been taken away, and at most they only knew that a battle had broken out here between the Maitreya Sect and the Four Symbols Sect, and it ended strangely and abruptly.

So there has never been a shortage of people coming to look for the sword, but in the past few months, there has been no more incidents of people being inexplicably killed by sword energy.

If nothing unexpected happens, over time people will know that the ancient sword is most likely gone.

But now there seems to be an accident...

Zhao Changhe didn't believe that a swordsman like Han Wubing would be forced to "escape" by a mere local gang. Even if the other party was outnumbered and temporarily defeated, they would most likely retreat to the bottom of the lake and look for another opportunity to fight.

When he arrived at the lake, Zhao Changhe dived into the water without saying a word. People who were looking for swords here would jump into the water from time to time, so it was nothing unusual.

Zhuque followed and suddenly thought of a question. Before the Four Symbols Sect opened this alternate dimension, there were many prerequisites, and they set up formations and sacrifices, summoned Bingpo to actively break through the space. What is the situation now? Can anyone enter and exit? What if someone finds it

On the other hand, if Han Wubing really "ran away in a hurry", he might not be able to come back here. Because if he didn't shake off the pursuers, he would be caught in a trap if he was seen entering this place.

Obviously Zhao Changhe was also worried about this. When he arrived at the space node, he went in quickly and soon frowned.

There was no sign of intrusion, which meant that no one had found this place yet... but Han Wubing was not here.

You can see a bed, table and chairs on one side, and dishes and food residues on the table, all of which are a bit moldy. It is obvious that he did not pack up and leave on his own, but something happened after he left and he never came back.

Are you so panicked that you can't even escape back here

Zhuque followed in and looked around. Apart from the traces of life arranged by Han Wubing later, the original flavor of the sword room was still there. Various swords were hung on the walls. There was nothing else, not even a locker, only smooth stone walls.

There can't be any secret passages, because this is an independent space, the wall can't be dug out, the door is the only spatial node, there is no secret passage. No wonder Chi Chi was sure there was nothing after coming in, there couldn't be anything.

As for the remaining sword intent, it was not eliminated by the breath of life as Han Wubing lived here for a long time. On the contrary, because the main purpose of Han Wubing's seclusion here was to comprehend the sword, he might have been comprehending the sword all day except for eating and sleeping. As a result, some sword intent belonging to Han Wubing permeated the air, which was mixed with the original ancient sword intent and was very sharp.

In a sense, Han Wubing was also accompanying this ancient predecessor, so that her soul would no longer be lonely and her unique skills would have room to be passed on.

At this moment, Zhao Changhe closed his eyes and felt the sword intent here.

Zhuque looked around for a while and his judgment was consistent with Xia Chichi's. Although the woman here had some relationship with Ye Di, no information could be obtained from this closed and narrow sword room. It was of no value.

Seeing Zhao Changhe closing his eyes to feel the sword's power, Zhuque finally broke the silence: "Are you interested in these things now because you learned sword skills?"

Zhao Changhe said "hmm". Zhuque did not disturb him and went to admire the swords hanging on the walls.

In fact, Zhao Changhe mainly felt that if Tianshu was allowed to have more contact with the sword intent here, he might gain something. He wanted to go back to this place to take a look for this reason, but it is not convenient to say it.

He had stayed in the inn opposite Wang's for two nights to verify whether there would be any changes the next day after applying that stuff... Sure enough, early the next morning, the gold foil had a new evolution, proving that applying that stuff was really useful.

The new evolution is that he no longer needs to take out the gold foil to look at it. As long as he thinks about it, the information will go straight into his mind, forming an illusion of virtual reality, making him feel as if he is there.

Including the Wind and Thunder Palm manual that Situ Xiao gave him before, he seemed to have not even flipped through it after getting it, but in fact he had already learned it on the road in the past two days. It's just that he hasn't put it into practice yet. He knows it in his mind, but whether he can do it with his hands is another matter.

This also proves that "I'll be the first to kill you after the block is lifted" did not happen. I don't know if the block was not lifted thoroughly enough... I'll try again next time.

In short, the shadow of a woman has appeared in his mind at this moment. Because it is too ancient and the sword intent is ethereal, all he can see is a vague image and he can't even make out the face.

Then the image of Han Wubing appeared again, and the two of them demonstrated a set of sword techniques.

Zhao Changhe shook his head and temporarily exited the illusion.

This is not the time to look at swordsmanship. Just make sure that the gold foil can receive information and study it later. And what we want to study is not their swordsmanship, but to analyze whether there is any power related to the Night Emperor from the woman's swordsmanship. This is probably not something that can be figured out in a short time. It may take a long time like analyzing the inheritance of the Sword Emperor. Let's talk about it later.

The most urgent task right now is to find out what happened to Han Wubing.

Feeling that Zhao Changhe had come out of a special state, Zhuque looked back and smiled: "How is it? Have you learned any sword techniques?"

"No... By the way, do you have any helpers here from the Four Symbols Sect?"

"They evacuated a long time ago. Do you want us to help you investigate the case?"

"Um… "

"Then what's the point of looking for us? Go to Wanhua Tower. I don't believe you don't have Tang Wanzhuang's token on you."

Zhao Changhe suddenly remembered that he was a spy from the Demon Suppression Bureau... That damn badge always asked him to investigate cases, so this time it should finally come in handy, right
