Chapter 271 Testing and Connecting
With Chu Tang's current lightness skills, he would not be trapped in place by just a few men in black.
Even if there are seven-level experts among the opponents, they can't stop him from using Qinggong to slip away from them.
Not to mention the Seventh Level, even if it was Jin Changgong, a strong Eighth Level expert who was not weak in Qinggong, Chu Tang now had the confidence to make the opponent unable to touch his clothes.
Even if the scene of being trapped on the top of the mountain was repeated, Chu Tang would now have the confidence to jump off the cliff decisively and leave safely like a real bird.
The handsome man's lightness kung fu is so arrogant!
Therefore, with just a few quick moves, Chu Tang, who used his full strength to perform the moon-stepping and lingering fragrance, quickly disappeared into the dark night.
The four men in black only chased him for half a mile, and Chu Tang was nowhere to be seen.
The man in black from the Seventh Realm stopped and looked at the ocean and sighed: "We all seem to have underestimated Chu's Qinggong. His movement is so fast that it is unbelievable and no one can match it!"
"Uncle Master, are we still chasing him?" asked a man in black behind him.
"No need! Looking at his direction, he should be heading back to Tongfu Inn. There are our people all the way there, he can't escape!" The man in black said, his voice seemed to be smiling.
…………
Chu Tang's purpose of running towards Tongfu Inn was also to attract the attention of those arranged by Zhou Ziyu.
The reason is that he does not want to have a direct conflict with the people of the Samsung Sword Sect because it is not worth it.
No matter why the people of the Three-Star Sword Sect surrounded him, even if the other party was really trying to steal clues to Prince Liang's treasure, what did it have to do with him?
That was the conflict between them and Zhou Ziyu. For him, Chu Tang, it was a dog-eat-dog thing.
He is too lazy to fight with others over this!
He didn't want to get too entangled with the other party, so he directly used Qinggong to escape from the scene.
Heading towards Tongfu Inn, I also wanted to make some noise and attract the attention of others.
Either someone came forward to stop the people of the Three Star Sword Sect for him, or he used this to scare the people of the Three Star Sword Sect so that they would not dare to act rashly.
Sure enough, after running less than a mile, Chu Tang found that no one was catching up behind him.
But he didn't hear any bigger noise behind him, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Did those people really take it upon themselves to intercept the treasure map in advance? Now that the matter has been exposed, they don't dare to say anything, so they run away first?"
With such doubts, Chu Tang returned to Tongfu Inn.
At this time, the ugly hour has passed, and the sky has reached the Yin hour.
It was darker before dawn, and the night was getting thicker. There were only a few street lights flickering in the inn.
In addition, the midnight crow of roosters occasionally came from the distance, but the night seemed to be getting quieter.
Whoosh!
Chu Tang still floated into the private room from the roof to the window. He stood for a while and found nothing unusual before lighting the lamp.
The yellow and white candles lit up, illuminating the entire private room.
Chu Tang came to the desk, took out the treasure map he got from Chen Suming, spread it out on the table, and looked at it carefully.
Under the bright candlelight, the picture above can be seen more clearly.
However, this is really just a road map. The specific location cannot be seen from the simple lines.
Even the text above simply marks the directions of southeast, northwest, and no designated spatial location.
"Zhou Ziyu once said that only the bronze mirror and the bronze frame can determine the specific location. After arriving at that location, the treasure map can guide the route, and the thing in his hand is the key to unlocking the treasure mechanism... Tsk tsk!" Chu Tang endured He couldn't help but admire, "One link within another, each one is indispensable. This King Liang is really thoughtful!"
After thinking about it, he felt relieved again: "After all, he is the founding prince of the country and has been operating in Liangzhou for decades. It is estimated that many things have been arranged in advance."
Thinking about this, he became more and more puzzled about the actions of the Samsung Sword Sect: "This Liang Wang treasure requires so many levels to clear, why do they come to seize the treasure map? There is a map but no location, and no key. , it’s of no use!”
I am puzzled!
Chu Tang was shocked when he thought about it at the end: "It can't be that they have gathered the other two... Impossible! With Zhou Ziyu's intelligence and skills, how could he put all the eggs in one basket? Look at his posture , the so-called remnants of the Samsung Sword Sect cannot threaten his power."
I really can’t figure out the key to it even after racking my brain!
Shaking his head violently, Chu Tang's attention returned to the treasure map in front of him, and he was troubled: "Should I wait here for Zhou Ziyu's people to come and pick up this thing, or should I make another choice... Chen Suming..."
Thinking of Chen Suming's trust in him, Chu Tang could only give up other thoughts.
If he had not successfully handed over the treasure map to Zhou Ziyu, given the latter's character, he would probably have made up his mind to get it from Chen Suming.
In this case, it is self-evident what the fate of Chen Suming’s family will be!
"Prince Liang's treasure... Haha!" Chu Tang shook his head and laughed, "Just because of this picture, the Chen family was ruined; so for this treasure, I don't know how many people will die! Prince Liang, Prince Liang, I want to see it Let’s see what kind of battle your descendants can pull off!”
Silently, Chu Tang slowly folded up the treasure map and stuffed it into his arms again.
He turned to look out the window, and saw the faint light before dawn in the east.
It's almost dawn!
Seeing that he didn't have enough time to sleep, Chu Tang picked up the long sword in the room, sat down cross-legged, and placed the long sword on his legs.
Then, meditate and adjust your breath, and activate the Beiming Divine Skill.
Beiming's true energy suddenly entered his body, instantly sweeping away the fatigue of the middle of the night, and his whole body returned to its peak state of energy.
However, after a moment, Chu Tang's ears moved slightly and he heard subtle footsteps coming from outside the door.
From far to near, the footsteps finally stopped outside his main entrance.
With extraordinary sensory abilities, he could even hear the subtle breathing outside.
"Coming to the door at this time? Who is it?" Chu Tang woke up from his trance, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the door two feet away from the bed, and his left hand involuntarily rested on the long sword in front of him.
As long as there is a slight movement outside the door, he can react immediately, even if he goes on a killing spree!
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
To Chu Tang's surprise, someone knocked on the door openly.
Although the knock on the door was slight, it was still quite clear in the quiet night.
Chu Tang still sat quietly without any movement, but his eyes emitted a frightening light.
Tuk Tuk! Tuk-tuk-tuk!
The knock on the door sounded for the second time, and it seemed much more urgent. It was obvious that the people outside were also anxious.
"Who?" Chu Tang thought over and over again, but finally asked, and he fell from the bed to the ground.
"Mr. Chu, it's me." A clear and gentle woman's voice came from outside the door.
In the middle of the night, a woman's voice was heard outside the door of a grown man's room, but his voice was not seen...
That is to say, he has never heard or seen anything about ghosts and gods in this world, otherwise Chu Tang would have to wonder if the other party was acting out a fairy tale.
The voice sounded very familiar, and Chu Tang asked softly: "Miss Lin'er?"
"It's the little lady." The female voice outside the door became softer and softer, "Young Master asked me to come to see Mr. Chu, please open the door for a while."
"At this time?" Chu Tang asked back.
Is it really okay for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room in the middle of the night?
"The matter is urgent, please forgive Mr. Chu." Miss Lin'er explained patiently.
Seeing this, Chu Tang couldn't refuse. He hummed, took a few steps to the side room behind the door, leaned over and opened the door bolt.
With a creak, the door opened.
After a while, a little head slowly stuck its head in from outside the door.
Chu Tang saw clearly who was coming, who else could it be if it wasn't Miss Lin'er!
"It's really you, Miss Lin'er!" Chu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.
Miss Lin'er was startled by Chu Tang's sudden voice from behind the door. She stroked her chest and looked frightened: "Mr. Chu, you scared me to death! Why are you hiding here? You are afraid that someone is coming. ?”
Chu Tang looked at Miss Lin'er who came in with a smile and said, "I'm afraid the person coming is a vixen."
Miss Lin'er rolled her eyes at him, turned around and closed the door, and said, "There are no vixens in the world! If there is one, bring it to me."
Chu Tang looked at her seriously and then asked after closing the door: "Miss Lin'er, why did you come to Qingcheng?"
Miss Lin'er sighed and said, "After you left the village, the young master also sent me to Qingcheng, saying that he wanted to meet you."
"Are you the one who came to pick up Chu?" Chu Tang was greatly surprised.
Miss Lin'er glared at him and said coquettishly: "Why, you look down on me? Let me tell you, the person you trust the most is me, and I will handle many things."
"Are you very good at martial arts?" Chu Tang asked.
Miss Lin'er rolled her eyes even more: "Does it take a very high level of martial arts to travel around the world?"
Chu Tang sighed and said: "Martial arts is a martial arts world. If you want to live a long life in the arena, martial arts is the foundation of your life."
Miss Lin'er retorted: "I'm not very good at martial arts. As long as the people who protect me are good at martial arts and there are many people, wouldn't that be enough?"
Chu Tang was stunned and admitted that what the other party said was true, and he was speechless.
Suddenly, Miss Lin'er's white little hand stretched out in front of Chu Tang and said, "Bring it here!"
Chu Tang remained unmoved, looked at her quietly and said, "What is it?"
Miss Lin'er was slightly annoyed: "What you got from Miss Chen Er! Don't say you didn't get it!"
Chu Tang shook his head and said: "This is not the agreement between Chu and Mr. Zhou."
"Why not? Young master asked you to wait here for someone to come to your door after you succeed. Wouldn't I be here now?" Miss Lin'er was a little impatient.
Chu Tang still looked at her quietly and said nothing.
Miss Lin'er felt uncomfortable looking at him and suddenly realized: "Oh! I want to tell you the secret code you agreed with the young master, right? Sorry, I almost forgot."
Chu Tang smiled and said nothing.
Miss Lin'er snorted: "You are so stubborn! You are too cautious! Yes, yes! Password! Password! Please say something."
"The young master loses his beauty when accompanied by flowers." Chu Tang said lightly.
"The handsome thief steps on the moon and leaves fragrance." Miss Lin'er quickly came up to him.
Hearing the next sentence, Chu Tang laughed, and the expression on his face was much more enthusiastic than before: "That's right, it's Miss Lin'er!"
Miss Lin'er said angrily: "Your code has no beginning and no tail. I don't even know what it means!"
Chu Tang laughed: "Without a head or tail, it's not easy for others to be fooled."
Of course he would not admit that it was his bad taste.
When Zhou Ziyu asked him to come up with the agreed code, Chu Tang, who had just redeemed himself from Dashuai Bi Qinggong, immediately regarded these two sentences as the code for communication.
He should be the only one in the world who knows what these two sentences mean.
When the first sentence comes out, if someone else follows the next sentence smoothly, then Chu Tang will have to doubt his origin.
"The code is correct, where is the thing?" Miss Lin'er stretched out her little hand again.
Chu Tang still made no move and asked, "When did Miss Lin'er arrive in Qingcheng?"
"At nightfall."
"Huh? The layout plan of Sima Mansion was placed in Chu's room by Miss Lin'er?"
"No, there is someone else." Miss Lin'er became impatient, "What are you asking about? Where are the things?"
Chu Tang still asked: "Since Miss Lin'er has arrived in Qingcheng a long time ago, she should know everything about Chu's actions, right?"
Miss Lin'er's eyes flickered, and she said coquettishly: "Those are all arrangements by our young master."
Chu Tang asked seriously: "After Chu came out of Sima Mansion, there were people in black surrounding Chu and wanted to get that thing from Chu. Did Miss Lin'er also know?"
"You mean Uncle Dong and the others?"
Chu Tang was surprised: "Uncle Dong?"
"Oh! It's the person who went to deal with Luoshen Valley to save you before. The leader I call him Uncle Dong." Miss Lin'er replied.
Chu Tang was even more surprised: "Do you know what they did?"
Miss Lin'er smiled sheepishly and said, "That was the plan arranged by the young master to test you, Mr. Chu."
"Testing?"
"Let's see if you have any other intentions. For example, you really colluded with them, or ran away with something. Fortunately, you didn't do anything else and went back to Tongfu Inn, which proved your character, otherwise you would Crap!"
"..."
Chu Tang felt like there were ten thousand grass and mud horses running through his heart.
The tricks of city people are very deep. Are you so good at it? !
A master of the Seventh Realm came up to him aggressively with three men in black, in order to test his quality?
Boring or not?
Complaints were complaints, but Chu Tang became more and more wary. Zhou Ziyu was still very wary of him this time. Not only did he not trust him, he even tested him again and again.
From this point of view, as long as he makes mistakes, temptation is no longer just a temptation, and what is imaginary can become real.
"Chu doesn't want something like this to happen again!" Chu Tang said angrily, "Since you don't trust me, then don't cooperate. You are not the only ones who have the upper three realms skills. With Chu's ability, as long as you are willing to invest in The disciples of certain organizations can also obtain the skills of the upper three realms!"
He still needs to express his opinions as he should, otherwise others will think that he is a soft-spoken person who is easy to bully!
Seeing that Chu Tang was angry, Miss Lin'er quickly comforted her and said, "Mr. Chu, calm down, isn't this just the beginning of our cooperation? Even you are wary of us, right?"
"I won't do it next time!" Chu Tang snorted coldly.
Miss Lin'er nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, it won't happen again."
Chu Tang glanced at her for a second, then slowly took out the treasure map from his arms, and handed it to Miss Lin'er when her eyes shone.
Miss Lin'er took it and quickly put it into her sleeve without even looking at it.
Chu Tang was stunned: "Don't you take a look?"
Miss Lin'er smiled brightly: "Look at what it's doing, I don't know! Why don't you clean it up and come with me?"
"Let's go? Now? Where to go?" Chu Tang felt that his brain was not enough, and he had a headache because of this little girl's out-of-the-box thinking and speaking skills.
Miss Lin'er had a serious face and said, "It's time to do the second thing you agreed with us."
