Chapter 3 Survival from desperate situation
"All the outsiders, please leave. Don't waste your life in vain." The monk gave an order and the guards of the palace quickly evacuated.
"Fake mercy, nothing more than surrounding them from a distance." The man in black sneered, but he was too lazy to pay attention to those mortals without cultivation. He just looked at the three so-called outdoor masters with a serious look.
The sky was already overcast with thunder rumbling and a cool breeze blowing with a hint of moisture.
It's going to rain
Zhao Cheng didn't dare to move, but his brain was working frantically. What is the external scene? Realm? It sounds like the higher level is the internal scene. Wait, is this the time to think about this, Zhao Cheng? Now is the time to think about how to save his life!
Brother Yushu, please give me some more useful memories!
Maybe Zhao Cheng's sincerity moved the heavens, or maybe the Jade Rat was unwilling to die. The fragments of memory that were originally scattered for a long time began to change from drops to streams. Although there were still not many, the coherence was much stronger.
The privacy of a well-known philanthropist, the multiple concubines of a retired official known for his integrity, the properties purchased by a cunning rat with three burrows, the secret passage under the bed...
The secret passage under the bed! There is a secret passage under the bed that has not been found yet, so it must be you, Jade Mouse! My Poké Ball, no, where is your mechanism! ?
Zhao Cheng suddenly opened his eyes. Thunder roared. A purple lightning bolt split the sky. Heavy rain poured down. The four outsiders finally took action.
The man in black was like a ghost, floating around. The monk was surrounded by golden light and stood still like a mountain. But every time he slowly slapped his palm or punched, the man in black didn't dare to take it or even block it. As long as the monk made a move, the man in black would retreat.
The swordsman danced with his sword like mercury pouring down the ground, and even the rain could not get close to the sword.
The funniest one was the sloppy Taoist priest, who seemed to have no footwork and was dodging here and there. However, he used the peach wood sword in his right hand to attract lightning, and the talismans in his left hand were flying, but he was constantly compressing the black-clothed man. Together with the swordsman, he forced the black-clothed man towards the monk.
It seems that the monk is the winner. As long as the man in black is forced to take a move from the monk, he will probably lose.
However, others don't know, but Zhao Cheng has Jade Mouse's memories. The scene of their first meeting is still vivid in Zhao Cheng's mind.
The black-clothed man's best skill was never his body movements or palm techniques.
Lightning split the ground, a flash of sword light passed by, and a slender steel sword passed through the monk's outstretched right palm, piercing the monk's golden body. The tip of the sword appeared from behind the cassock, and a drop of blood was instantly washed away by the rain.
The monk gritted his teeth and advanced instead of retreating. He changed his right hand from palm to claw to grab the sword blade, and clenched his left fist and punched the black-clothed man fiercely.
Hei Yi never expected that this kind-looking monk would be so cruel. He was willing to exchange moves with him even though he was seriously injured. He subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but the monk held it tightly and he couldn't move at all. He wanted to drop his sword and dodge, but it was too late. He could only take the monk's punch.
Unfortunately, the monk was seriously injured before, and this punch only had 50% of its strength, otherwise the man in black would have been doomed.
How could the swordsman and the Taoist priest miss such a good opportunity? They immediately rushed forward to attack and fought with the wounded monk in black. The monk took a few steps back and staggered to the ground with the slender steel sword piercing through his body. He had no strength to fight anymore.
God-given opportunity!
Zhao Cheng's right index finger moved slightly, gently touched a small wooden block on the edge of the bed, pressed hard, and the entire bed board suddenly split in two, and the person and the bedding under him fell down together, and then the bed board quietly closed.
After a few breaths, Zhao Cheng felt a shock on his back, and a sharp pain spread from his spine to his whole body. Although the quilt cushioned most of the force of his fall, he was seriously injured after all, and he immediately spurted out another mouthful of blood.
This is my only chance. I don't want to die here after crossing over. Zhao Cheng struggled to get up and stumbled along the dark tunnel along the route in the Jade Rat's memory.
I hope they find out later.
The first person to notice that Zhao Cheng was missing was not the man in black, nor the monk who was meditating and recovering from his injuries, but the sloppy Taoist priest who was clearly in the middle of a battle, but whose eyes were darting around like a thief.
When the Taoist priest first noticed that the bed was empty, he thought that he was dazzled by the heavy rain. In addition, although the man in black was injured, his level was still higher than theirs. Without the monk who could make the final decision, the Taoist priest was forced to be fully alert, which gave Zhao Cheng enough time to escape.
When he noticed the house for the second time, the Taoist priest was knocked away by the black-clothed man and smashed the window of Zhao Cheng's house. The Taoist priest who struggled to get up found that the fish that Prince Fu wanted to catch had not been caught yet, but the bait was gone.
The Taoist priest walked around the bed several times. He was not good at mechanical engineering, and the room had been searched dozens of times by the palace guards. He could not imagine that there was a secret passage.
After all, it was the Jade Rat's trump card to save its life. Imagine that when the Jade Rat was attacked in its sleep and was forced to use this secret passage, it must be the most urgent situation. Although the flaw was obvious, that is, the bedding that fell with the bed, it would be extremely difficult to be discovered under normal circumstances.
"Niubi, are you stupid? Help me!" The old Taoist was circling in the room. The swordsman outside was hit by the erratic black-clothed man and couldn't even open his eyes. The difference in strength was more than one level.
"That kid ran away!" Although the sloppy old Taoist didn't know how Zhao Cheng escaped, he knew that there was no one in the room.
Zhao Cheng's escape was nothing to the three guests of the palace. After all, their primary target was Hei Yi, and Zhao Cheng was just a useless bait. But it was a big deal to Hei Yi.
The man in black didn't want to fight anymore, and rushed into the house with a feint. The old Taoist didn't dare to fight the man in black alone, so he quickly got out of the house.
"You coward, stop him!" The swordsman spat out blood and cursed angrily.
The man in black floated in the air and soon found the flaw in the bedding. Although he didn't know where the mechanism was, he had neither the time nor the patience to slowly search for it.
With a slap, the wood chips on the bed board flew everywhere. However, the partition below was made of fine steel. The black-clothed man slapped it and made a dent, but it did not break.
"Ox Nose, he wants to leave! Use your special moves, I will stop him!" The swordsman swung his long sword horizontally, and he and the sword turned into a streak of light, passing through the door directly and rushing towards the black-clothed man who had already hit the second palm
Zhao Cheng ran hard in the tunnel. He heard a heavy slapping sound behind his ears. He knew that someone had discovered that he was missing. It was only a matter of time before they found him.
According to Jade Rat's memory, this tunnel leads to Luoshui. The further you go, the more water accumulates in the secret passage. At this time, it is already above the knees, making it extremely difficult to walk. The exit of Luoshui is still very far away from his current location...
I can't run away, I can't run away if I keep going on like this, damn, I'm just an ordinary office worker, I didn't want to travel through time, I just want to live a good life, even if you let me travel through time, why do you want to kill me, God, you are so unfair!
Zhao Cheng wanted to cry. In the past few days of traveling through time, he had been beaten up and waiting to die. Being a stray dog would probably be longer than living like him.
There was a loud bang, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and the fine steel baffle was shattered.
I won’t run anymore. I can’t escape anyway. No matter who is chasing you, I’m going to fight you!
Zhao Cheng stopped and turned around, waving his fists viciously, then laughed bitterly, damn, what's the point of fighting with bare hands? If I had a knife,
A stream of light gathered in his hand. Zhao Cheng stared at this extremely mysterious scene in amazement. A slender dagger slowly took shape in his hand, and three simple and simple characters appeared on the handle.
