Chapter 277 Password: Who can compete with the sky?
"Zhou Ziyu! It belongs to your uncle!"
Chu Tang hurried to the pick-up location, but found no trace of anyone on Zhou Ziyu's side. Naturally, he knew that the other party had let him go.
As for why the other party did this, he couldn't figure it out for the moment.
Your whereabouts were exposed and you had to retreat?
Or is he just setting up Chu Tang to make both him and the Changhong Sword Sect suffer a loss?
No matter which one it is, it is not a good thing for Chu Tang.
He didn't have time to think about more details and ran away immediately.
Fortunately, with the cover of night, he was not entangled by the disciples of the Changhong Sword Sect on the mountain road. If he was discovered by chance, he could leave quickly.
A quarter of an hour later, he hurried to Fengqi Town, only to find that the whole town was in chaos——
As the town closest to the Changhong Sword Sect and located on a major transportation thoroughfare, the Changhong Sword Sect did not ignore the existence here, but instead arranged for many disciples to hide in it.
No, maybe they received a summons from the Sword Sect, and these disciples were also alerted. They held long swords and torches, and searched in groups around the town.
Chu Tang hurried back to the inn where he was staying. Before he entered, he heard a lot of noise and shouts coming from inside.
I secretly found a dark place to check, and found many Changhong Sword Sect disciples who rushed into the inn and checked everyone they saw.
It's normal when you think about it. The inn has the most people, so if you don't search them, who would you search?
What's more, Chu Tang and Zhou Ziyu have been staying here these days. They are unfamiliar faces in the town. They may have been noticed by the local snake Changhong Sword Sect.
The only thing Chu Tang was lucky about was that whenever he went out these days, he always wore a human skin mask, but no one could recognize his true identity.
"Zhou Ziyu and those people are not at the inn." After watching for a while, Chu Tang finally confirmed this.
Even the innkeeper was missing, only some ordinary waiters shivering under the interrogation of the Changhong Sword Sect.
"They all retreated?" Chu Tang was puzzled for a while and felt incredible. "With how much Zhou Ziyu values the treasure, he would let me run away with the bronze mirror frame?"
It’s impossible even to think about!
He was asked to go to Chen Suming to get the treasure map before, and the surveillance along the way was like a dragnet.
Also, after he succeeded, he immediately sent people to surround him, and they also called it testing - haha, testing with a hammer, you are not afraid that he will run away with the treasure map!
"Is there such a big difference in treatment between the treasure map and the bronze mirror frame?" Chu Tang began to wonder if he had been deceived by Zhou Ziyu.
Maybe the bronze mirror frame is not an important clue to the treasure?
"They asked me to go to the Changhong Sword Sect to steal things. Did they have ulterior motives? They didn't really want to frame me, right? The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked? The bird is gone and the bow is hidden?" Chu Tang's mind was spinning, and he kept thinking about whether he had made a mistake in any link. problem.
But I really can’t think of it!
When he was in trouble, he was hiding in the darkness of a private house and suddenly felt someone approaching.
"Who?" Chu Tang became wary.
"Mr. Chu?" A figure walked over.
Chu Tang vaguely made out the outline of the person in the darkness. He was just an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, dressed in ordinary clothes, just like a resident of the town.
"Who are you?" Chu Tang's dantian was filled with anger, and he was fully on guard. If anything went wrong, he would get angry and hurt others.
The visitor noticed Chu Tang's movements, stopped, and said quickly: "I am here to wait for Mr. Chu on the orders of Mr. Zhou."
"Zhou Ziyu?"
"It's Mr. Zhou."
Chu Tang frowned: "Where has he gone?"
"Young Master has left Fengqi Town."
Chu Tang was angry: "He left? In order to help Chu get into danger, he ran away first? What do you mean, do you want to fall out with Chu?"
The visitor quickly explained: "Mr. Chu, please calm down. Our young master encountered an emergency and had to deal with it. He asked me to wait for Mr. Chu, which shows that he has full confidence in Mr. Chu's trip and firmly believes in Mr. Chu's trip. He will definitely be able to live up to his trust.”
Chu Tang sneered: "It's a pity that Chu has no confidence in you."
The visitor was anxious and said: "Mr. Chu, our son, please rush to Changjun County to meet you after you succeed. At that time, he will explain the reason to you."
"Changjun?" Chu Tang was confused.
Although Fengqi Town is on the edge of Chang County, it is affiliated to Le County of Cheng County. It can only be said to be at the junction of the two counties.
However, it is only fifty or sixty miles away from Chengjun County, and almost one hundred and fifty miles away from Changjun County in the northeast.
"Why did Zhou Ziyu travel so far overnight?" Chu Tang became suspicious.
"Are you sure this is Changjun County?" Chu Tang asked directly.
The man smiled and said: "I am not deaf or blinded, and I can still remember the location clearly. When Mr. Chu arrives at Changjun County, check into the Tongfu Inn there, and someone will naturally meet you."
Chu Tang raised his eyebrows and felt very happy. It was Tongfu Inn again. Did he really open a chain of inns throughout Liangzhou? !
Seeing that Chu Tang was speechless, the man added: "Master Chu, you'd better leave quickly. The Changhong Sword Sect has been alerted. It is expected that more people will come when daybreak, and it will be difficult to leave. I have prepared preparations in the northeast outside the town. It’s a good horse. Mr. Chu can just go and get it.”
Chu Tang was still pondering.
The man became anxious, took out a bundle from behind and said, "Mr. Chu, the clothes and luggage are all here. Please change your clothes and leave quickly. Don't miss anything!"
Chu Tang hummed and reached out to take the baggage.
The man was overjoyed and said, "I wish Mr. Chu a safe journey."
Chu Tang snorted softly, took off his baggage, flying claws, oilskin umbrella and other useless things from his body, and threw them on the ground one by one. Then he changed into night clothes and turned into an ordinary wanderer. Finally, he pointed at the night clothes on the ground. Yi Zangwu said: "You should deal with these things."
The visitor quickly bent down to pick it up, said goodbye to Chu Tang, and then left, quickly disappearing into the night.
Chu Tang took off the long sword from his back, carried it in his hand, and tied the new baggage back on his back. Then he touched his chest and found that the bronze mirror frame he held was still there, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
After identifying the direction, he used supreme lightness skills to avoid the eyes and ears of everyone, and took advantage of the night to rush to the northeast outside the town.
When I first arrived at the trail outside the town, I looked back and saw that the town was filled with flames and bustling people. From time to time, signal arrows shot up into the air, making sounds and shining brightly.
It can be seen that the entire Changhong Sword Sect has taken action!
We can't stay here any longer.
Just when Chu Tang was about to continue leaving, suddenly, a bright light in the sky in the town caught his eye.
The light emitted by other signal arrows is basically yellow or red, but this one is turquoise, which looks very unique in the night sky.
Of course, even if an unintentional person discovers the anomaly, he or she will not know why.
However, seeing this light, Chu Tang was stunned. He stared at the night sky for a long time before murmuring: "Is it finally here?"
He had an idea of turning around and going back to the town, but he quickly stopped.
The current situation in the town is complicated and unclear, and it is not an easy place to get along with.
Thinking of this, Chu Tang suddenly ran up to a big tree by the road and settled on the trunk, hiding in the night.
Slowly, he immersed himself in his mind and sensed everything around him.
From the distant town, the sounds of people barking and dogs barking mingled.
Not far away, there were frightened birds flapping and the intermittent chirping of night insects.
There is just no human breath!
The cultivation of the Sixth Realm, whether he is immersed in the spiritual world of flying immortals or deep into the realm of death swordsmanship, is enough to make Chu Tang's sensing ability comparable to that of people in the upper three realms.
All movements within a radius of thirty to fifty feet were captured by his spirit, making it impossible to escape.
A moment passed, but he still found no sign of anyone.
"Zhou Ziyu really didn't send anyone to follow me this time?" Chu Tang still didn't believe it.
For this reason, he stayed quietly in the tree for half a stick of incense.
He has no shortage of patience.
Another moment passed, and Chu Tang, who finally found nothing, soared from the tree, flew in the air with a breath, and reached the top of another tree in the blink of an eye...
This happened several times, and the person was hundreds of feet away.
Then, he landed on the ground, jumped up a few times, and jumped into a mountain path.
Along the way, he first walked on the moon to leave a scent and drove a mile or two at a high speed; then he walked on the snow without leaving any trace, leaving no trace on the road; then he walked lightly on the waves, turning in several directions.
So tossing, while galloping, while sensing the changes around you, beware of anyone following you.
After a while, he turned to the south entrance outside the town.
After finding a place where no one was around, Chu Tang took out a small firecracker-like thing from his sleeve, looked around carefully, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he pulled off a corner of the firecracker and threw it into the air.
After the firecracker lifted five or six feet into the air, it exploded with a bang, emitting a ball of green light.
Just like the signal arrows exploding in the air one after another inside and outside the town, except for the slightly different light, it is not abrupt at this moment.
Looking at the burst of light in the sky, Chu Tang said to himself: "I have been tinkering with this thing for several days, and finally I have a chance to throw it away for a while."
Obviously, this is also a signal arrow.
It is said that an arrow piercing the clouds can bring thousands of troops to meet each other. At this moment, who does he want to meet?
Chu Tang fell silent, and what fell silent with him was the night around him.
Whoosh!
Chu Tang floated out again and got into a reed bush by the roadside.
The reeds are taller than a person, thick and dense, and hidden among them. It is difficult to detect them unless you are very close to them when you hold your breath.
Chu Tang even sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and only raised his ears to listen to what was going on around him.
After a moment, his ears suddenly twitched and he heard a sound piercing the air from far to near.
But he still didn't move, sitting peacefully on the ground.
After a long while, a few more birds chirped outside.
The screams were quick and gentle at times.
Hearing this sound, Chu Tang suddenly opened his eyes, stood up slowly, pushed aside the reeds, and walked out.
After walking more than ten steps, I saw a night traveler five or six feet away, standing blankly under the moonlight, looking mysterious and scary.
Ye Xingren also heard Chu Tang's voice and turned around suddenly, revealing two sharp and shining eyes on his masked face.
The night traveler looked at Chu Tang carefully, then suddenly turned around and ran out.
"It's me!" Chu Tang shouted quickly.
"Huh?" Ye Xingren stopped and looked back at Chu Tang, with doubts in his eyes.
"Master Feng?" Chu Tang asked tentatively.
"Bantou Chu?" Ye Xingren also replied.
Chu Tang smiled, pointed at his face, and said, "Wearing a character mask!"
Ye Xingren breathed a sigh of relief, took a few steps towards Chu Tang, and suddenly raised his tone: "I won't come out of the sky!"
"Who can compete with me?" Chu Tang responded.
Although he was a middle-class student, Chu Tang smiled brightly and felt like he had found an organization by connecting with people.
The secret codes were made by him, and they are all tricks that he only understands, and they will not be repeated with others in this world.
The night traveler stopped, glanced around, suddenly raised his body, swept to the side, and disappeared in an instant.
Chu Tang shrugged and moved accordingly, his body erratic and flying in the air. He arrived first and soon found the figure of the night traveler.
The other party was flying in the air and running wildly on the ground without even looking back.
In terms of Qinggong status, Chu Tang could clearly surpass him, but she stayed far behind, following him silently.
After a long while, I heard the gurgling water in front of me.
After a while, the night traveler landed by a river outside Fengqi Town.
The terrain here is steep, the water flow is fast, and the sound is very loud.
The night traveler stood on the shore, and the river wind made his clothes rustle.
With a swish, Chu Tang also landed next to him, and the distance between the two was only three feet.
"Master Feng is still so cautious, even finding a place like this to say something." Chu Tang said with a smile.
Night Walker's cold voice sounded: "We can't be too careful about what we are going to do."
Chu Tang nodded in approval: "That's true."
Ye Xingren looked at Chu Tang and said, "Boss Chu, it's been more than a month. I finally waited for your response. How is the situation?"
Chu Tang didn't answer, pointed at the faces of both parties, and asked, "Is this how we talk?"
Ye Xingren took a deep look at Chu Tang, hesitated for a moment, and then took off the black scarf on his face, revealing his true face.
I saw a middle-aged man with a short beard exuding a cold aura under the moonlight. He looked handsome and looked tired, but his eyes were sharp and full of momentum. He looked like a person who was used to giving orders.
Seeing this, Chu Tang smiled more and more sincerely, bowed his hands and said, "Master Feng, it's been a long time!"
The night traveler looked at Chu Tang coldly and said nothing.
Chu Tang said helplessly: "Mr. Chu spoke in his original voice. Master Feng still doesn't believe it's Mr. Chu himself?"
After saying that, he reached out and took off the human skin mask on his face, removing the sallow and sickly face, revealing his ordinary appearance.
When Ye Xingren saw Chu Tang's true appearance, he also took a deep breath and returned the greeting: "Boss Chu, we say goodbye to Qingcheng. It's been more than a month in a hurry, thank you for your hard work!"
Chu Tang smiled bitterly: "It was indeed very hard, and I almost lost my life."
The night traveler was unmoved and said, "Isn't this what was expected?"
Chu Tang shook his head and said: "Chu is not referring to the dangers from Nanqinghou and Luoshen Valley, but to the methods of the remnants of King Liang and others."
"The remnants of King Liang! They...are you really confronting the person in charge of them?" Ye Xingren became excited, and his voice trembled a little.
