Chapter 57 Chapter 57: The Three Swords of the Killer

Fang Baoyu was in a hurry, saying that he wanted to go back the same way, which was never useful, but now it is useful. Although the girls were not scared away, no one dared to come again. Baoyu rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "I know that not only I am anxious to see your Palace Mistress, but your Palace Mistress is also waiting to see me, if I really go back the same way, you will be miserable, right? " As he spoke, he swam across. As expected, the girls stepped out of the way one after another, and watched him jump onto the pool again, shook the water off his body, and were about to move forward.

He took two steps, and the long-haired girl smiled and shouted again: "Stop, I have something to ask you." Although Baoyu didn't look back, he stopped and said, "Ask." The long-haired girl said: "Do you know where our palace master is?" Baoyu said: "Since we have arrived at the Water Palace, are you afraid that we will not be able to find the Palace Master?" The girl sneered and said: "The roads in this water palace are extremely varied, and the news agencies are even more ingenious. There are many people who can't see their mother when they arrive at the water palace. There are also people who are trapped in the news agencies and can't get out forever. Many... how can it be as easy as you think to see my mother?"

Baoyu smiled slightly and said, "Those people are those people, and I am me." The girl said: "Although you are a little different from those people, it may not be..." Baoyu said, "Although not necessarily, I have to try." The girl suddenly smiled and said: "As long as you take off your clothes, I will take you to see your mother, otherwise... Huh! Not only do you know how much you will suffer, but you may never find it." Baoyu laughed and said, "No problem." He walked forward without looking back. The girl bit her lip, stomped her foot and said, "You...don't regret it!"

Baoyu said: "It's okay for me to take off this clothes, but seeing you are so anxious, you don't hesitate to do everything possible to make me take off my clothes. There is obviously a lot to say in this, so..." He smiled and continued: "So, I would rather regret it than I will not take it off." The girl stared blankly at him, unable to laugh anymore. After walking for a while, Baoyu realized that this cave is not only beautiful and splendid, like a heavenly palace, but also its depth and grandeur are beyond what people can imagine. Thousands of stalactites are all over the cave, none of them have the same shape, and none of them have the same luster.

In addition, the stalactites are also studded with pearls, countless large and small, crystal clear and round pearls, some of which are embellished into words, and some are embellished into pictures. What words are the pearls embellished with?What picture? But Baoyu didn't know, because he really didn't dare to look at it carefully, he was afraid that these words and pictures would shake his determination and disturb his mind. He stepped on the colorful light and shadow, and his body was also bathed in the colorful light and shadow.He only felt that he was not in a cave in the human world, but in a shrine under the water.

He walked around and found that there was no door in the maze. Looking back, the girls were all gone. In the huge cave, there were only thousands of shining stalactites left, as if they were blinking and laughing at him. He couldn't help shouting loudly: "Where is Palace Master Baishui? Fang Baoyu please see me!" The echo came from the stalactites, like sea waves, like dense thunder, it made his ears buzz, but apart from his own echo, there was no other human language. Presumably there is a secret portal in this cave, but where is the mechanism?This dazzling light dazzles people's eyes, who can find the hub of the mechanism.

Although Baoyu should be in a hurry, he is not. He held his breath, slowed down, and walked around again. This time, his eyes widened and he looked carefully. He suddenly found that among the thousands of stalactites, there was one stalactite, which was not only the strangest in shape, but also had a particularly dazzling luster. Without hesitation, he strode over.I saw other stalactites inevitably covered with fresh moss and dirt, but this stalactite was as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been rubbed by human hands. Baoyu stretched out his hand to pull it, and the stalactite was indeed moving—as soon as the stalactite moved, a crack opened between the rock walls, and laughter immediately came from inside: "Fang Baoyu, you are really good, you can find it." This door. But do you dare to come here? You know, no one can get out alive after entering this door."

The laughter was originally at the entrance of the cave, but it got farther and farther away, and finally seemed to be thousands of meters away, which shows that the depth inside is really bottomless. Baoyu smiled slightly and strode in. As soon as he walked in, the door closed immediately.The colorful light and the brilliant scene disappeared immediately, and there was only darkness in front of him, boundless darkness. Baoyu felt like falling from heaven to hell. But at this moment, he can only move forward and cannot retreat. He groped forward on the rock walls on both sides, and suddenly found that the icy rocks became hot, and it became hotter and hotter, until it was as hot as a branding iron.

Baoyu's hand is not made of iron after all, so how dare he touch it up. He tentatively walked forward, and after taking two steps, there was a "chi" sound, his body touched the rocks a little, and the wet clothes were immediately scorched. Even though he had great abilities, he didn't dare to take a step forward. It was already hot in the cave, and he could have resisted it with a smile—he believed in his concentration, even if he was wearing a heavy coat in the scorching heat, he would not sweat. But later on, the cave got hotter and hotter, until he was sweating, and even the sweat was dried up, and he felt like his whole body was about to be torn apart.

This cave seems to have completely turned into a furnace! This is beyond anyone's tolerance! Baoyu's head has begun to feel dizzy, and her eyes have begun to blur. Suddenly someone smiled and said: "It's so hot, why don't you take off your clothes?" In the darkness, laughter came from nowhere. Baoyu clenched her teeth and did not speak. The voice said again: "It's so dark here, even if you take off your clothes, no one will see, why are you ashamed?...Why don't you take off?" Baoyu said, "Why do you want me to take it off?" The voice was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "Just because you don't take it off, you must take it off."

Baoyu said slowly, "Do you know why I don't take it off?" The voice said: "I just want to hear why you are so stubborn?" Baoyu said: "If a man is naked among many naked women, no matter how strong his will is, he will collapse, his self-esteem and self-confidence will completely disappear, and he can hardly do anything. I did. Of course you all know this, don't you?" Although his voice was hoarse, he was still very firm. No one answered in the dark. Baoyu said: "So, this is exactly your strategy of attacking the heart. I am afraid that many men have fallen into your trap, but I, Fang Baoyu..." Before he finished speaking, he laughed like a silver bell in the darkness, and said with a charming smile: "Okay, Fang Baoyu, you are smart..." The silver bell-like laughter gradually faded away, and finally it was no longer heard. But Baoyu suddenly took off a shirt and wrapped it tightly around his hand. Then, he groped the rock with this hand, and walked towards the place where the laughter disappeared. Even through the thick layer of clothes, his hands still hurt from the heat. He gritted his teeth and walked forward step by step.He overcame the pain with extremely strong willpower, concentrated his spirit, and moved forward step by step in the dark. This is naturally a difficult journey. Except for Baoyu, I am afraid that no one can walk ten steps, but Baoyu has already walked a hundred or a thousand steps. His body has been roasted to the point of collapse. At this moment, the laughter sounded again, and he said with a smile: "Okay, you are really worthy of Fang Baoyu for being able to walk such a distance! But—Fang Baoyu, do you know where you are now?" Baoyu hissed, "I've come to you." The voice laughed loudly and said, "I'll let you have a look..." Amidst the laughter, a little flame flew over, landed on the ground, and went out instantly. In the flash of the fire, Baoyu saw that this was the place he just walked in, and he had already glanced at it before the door was closed. With the utmost endurance, he endured a lot of hardships and walked a section of the road, but it was in vain—his whole body seemed to be about to collapse. The voice said with a smile: "I told you a long time ago that the secret path here is extremely changeable. You should believe it now? You still haven't taken off your clothes?" Baoyu said, "No!" The voice said softly: "As long as you take off your clothes, you can see my mother immediately, and you can soak in the water immediately. It is clear and cold water. You can soak as long as you want, and drink as much as you want." How much. Why do you still have to be brave? If you persist like this, who will praise you when you die?" Baoyu said, "Don't worry, I won't die." The voice was silent for a while, then sneered: "Okay, let's see how long you can last!" No matter who it is, after all the hardships and this blow, they will fall down, unable to struggle anymore, but Baoyu just closes his eyes, calms down, and thinks quietly. In the dark, if people use their hands instead of eyes to grope for the road, nine out of ten people must use their left hand, because he will leave his right hand to defend against unknown attacks in the dark. Baoyu just did the same. Just now he was groping for the rock on the left, but he came back here. Now, he untied the charred clothes wrapped around his left hand, tore them into strips, and wrapped them tightly around his right hand. He then groped for the wall on the right and moved forward. This part of the road is naturally more difficult and arduous.The strength in his whole body seemed to have been evaporated by the intense heat and disappeared with sweat. His two legs seemed to suddenly become as heavy as a thousand catties, Venus gradually began to appear in front of his eyes, and his mind gradually became confused... Water, cool water. He really wanted to be desperate, shout loudly, and promise them any conditions, as long as they could give him water, clear and cold water... But he just gritted his teeth and walked forward step by step... Suddenly, his body softened and he fell down. In a coma, Baoyu seemed to have returned to his carefree childhood. The backyard was covered with shade, and he was reading a book comfortably under the shade. It was very hot, so hot that he could hardly breathe. He opened his clothes, hoping for rain, and it did rain, and the raindrops dripped from the branches onto his face. So cool raindrops, so comfortable.Suddenly someone called him in the front yard: "Baoyu...Fang Baoyu..." Who is it?Uncle Big Head? Baoyu opened his eyes—the dream disappeared immediately, and the reality was still so cruel, but there were really drops of water on his face, it was really rain and dew. I just heard someone calling from above my head: "Fang Baoyu, are you awake?" Baoyu raised his eyes, only to see a hole appeared on the top of the dark and scorching rock at some point. The long-haired girl was looking down at the entrance of the cave, and said with a coquettish smile, "Fang Baoyu, you should know by now that your body is not made of iron, and you will fall down sometimes. Now, are you willing to accept it?" Baoyu moaned, "Water, water..." The girl raised a golden cup and said softly: "This cup is full of rose dew. I have dripped three drops on your face just now, and only three drops have made you unconscious. Wake up, its fragrance is sweet, even though you are in a coma, you should feel it. As long as you take it, you can drink this full cup." Baoyu murmured: "Flower dew?... Roses..." He seemed to have fallen into a coma again, unable to express his thoughts in words. The girl smiled and said: "I'll let you taste the cold water again..." She tilted the gold cup slightly, and a drop of water fell onto Baoyu's face. Baoyu suddenly hissed and shouted: "No, I don't agree, I don't accept!" The girl shook her head and sighed softly: "You really have the temper of a cow! Well, since you still have to suffer, you can't blame me." She actually poured all the flower dew on the rock. There was only a "chi" sound, and light smoke rose from the rock, and the entire glass of water was boiled dry. The girl's face also disappeared in the light smoke, and the surroundings returned to darkness. But Baoyu jumped up suddenly. Rather than saying that these few drops of water revived him, it would be better to say that his coma just now was a faux pas. He skimmed to the side of the sharp rock in one step, and he had already memorized all the situation here.Using both hands and feet, he climbed up. Although he was separated by layers of clothes, shoes and socks, his hands and feet were still scorched. As long as he couldn't bear it, his whole body would fall down, and all previous efforts would be wasted! The rock, more than ten feet high, seemed unattainable to Baoyu at this moment. He gritted his teeth and tried his best, and he finally climbed up. His life hangs in the blink of an eye. If the rocks above could move, all the sins he suffered would finally be rewarded, otherwise... otherwise, he really didn't dare to think about it. Thank goodness the rocks above are mobile. Fang Baoyu pushed it away in ecstasy and climbed up. The cold rocks, the rocks outside the cave, are as cool as water. Fang Baoyu lay on the ground panting, there was no sound around, all difficulties and crises seemed to be in the past... His palms were pressed against the cool stone ground, and his cheek was also pressed against the cool stone ground.He waited for his breathing to calm down a little before he slowly raised his eyes. Suddenly, he saw a pair of feet—a pair of men's feet. Those feet were right in front of his eyes. These feet are wearing gorgeous shoes and soft silk socks, showing the dignity of the owner of these feet.But as long as these two feet are slightly lifted, Fang Baoyu has to roll down again. At this moment, his chest seemed to be suffocated, and his blood seemed to have congealed.As long as these two feet are kicked over, he really has no ability to resist. But the feet just stood there, not moving. Baoyu fell on the ground, and he didn't dare to move, he didn't even dare to raise his head to look at this man, to see who he was and what he looked like. All he knew was that the man was wearing clothes. This is the first clothed person he has seen since the palace, and also the first man he has seen.Isn't the identity of this person even more surprising! Only a heavy voice said slowly: "It's not easy for you to get here. But you have to know that although this place is close to the center of the water palace, the rest of the road is even more difficult. Don't be careless." Baoyu was even more surprised, because he could already hear that the heavy voice was not malicious at all, but full of concern, just like an elder's exhortation to his children. What is this for?Who is this? He wanted to ask, but didn't.It's not that he didn't dare to ask, it's just because he knew that even if he asked, this person would never say anything. I only heard the man continue to say: "You are young, and you have such perseverance, which is very rare. As long as you are determined, your hardships will not be in vain." This is not only an exhortation, but an encouragement. Baoyu became more and more suspicious, but he just said, "Thank you." The voice was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Now, can you still stand up?" Baoyu said, "Yes." The man said: "Since you can stand up, why don't you stand up and walk forward?" Baoyu said, "Yes." At this moment, he was sure that this person had no intention of hurting him, so he stood up immediately, but saw that this person turned over at some point, and walked forward slowly. His steps were slow and dignified, and his hands seemed to be folded on his chest. Baoyu couldn't help but said: "Why don't you let Xiaoke visit Zunyan?" The man said: "You don't have to look at my face, you just need to look at my sword." The word "sword" came out, and the shoulder suddenly moved slightly. This movement was so slight that it was almost imperceptible to the eyes, and no one would care, but Fang Baoyu was suddenly taken aback! Turn things around with the Killer Sword! With a movement of the shoulder, the sword light flew out immediately, like a startled rainbow, like a horse training, it was the killer of the Hainan faction cast by the former "ruthless son" Jiang Xiaomin! Turn things around with the Killer Sword! This sword shot was faster than Jiang Xiaomin's, the position was more tricky than Jiang Xiaomin's, and the landing point was more accurate than Jiang Xiaomin's.If Baoyu hadn't experienced the subtlety of this sword in the past, if he hadn't been vigilant, even if he didn't die under the sword at this moment, he would never want to stand up and go forward. Jian Guangfang flew out from under the man's side, and Baoyu's figure had retreated two feet.He really tried his best, and he was sure that the sword could only touch his clothes at most, but it could never hurt his flesh, but he didn't know that the sword light stopped half a foot away from his chest.Although this sword is faster, more cunning, and more accurate than Jiang Xiaomin's, but there is a third of affection in the sword - Baoyu can tell whether the sword is merciful or not.He took a long breath and said, "Thank you." The man's sword light hung down slowly, and said slowly: "Have you seen this move before?" Baoyu said, "Yes." The man said coldly: "If you hadn't seen this move before, you would have been hurt by the sword at this moment. I want to kill you with this killer, why do you still thank me?" Baoyu said: "How can Fang Baoyu not know whether the sword is showing mercy?" The man said: "Even if you are merciful, it is enough to take your life." Baoyu said: "But at this moment, he is still alive." The man was silent for a while, then laughed loudly: "Yes, you are still alive. You have seen this move twice, and you are still alive. There are not many sword skills in the world that can hurt you. " Baoyu said, "Not much? ... Is there not much?" The man laughed suddenly, and said coldly: "Well, there are not many, at least three more." Baoyu said, "Why don't you let me learn from you?" The man asked, "What are you in a hurry for?" Suddenly throwing the long sword back, Baoyu couldn't help but reach out to take it.After the sword light flashed, he looked at the person in front again, but he was no longer seen. In front of it is a cave with twists and turns, and the "White Water Palace" is obviously located in the middle of the mountain, with only pearly light, but no sunlight. Baoyu never dreamed that someone in the world could build such a complicated, mysterious and vast palace in the middle of the mountain. He stood still for a while, then murmured with a smile: "What is the identity of this person in the 'White Water Palace'? Since he cared so much for me in his words, why did he kill me so suddenly? He has already killed me so suddenly. Killer, but why is he showing mercy under the sword? He has already shown mercy under the sword, but why does he still wait for me with three other killer sword techniques on the road ahead? He wants to hurt me again with killer sword techniques, but why? Do you want to give me a sword?" This sword is narrow, long, sharp, and light. The coordination of the blade, the spine, and the sword has almost been cast to perfection. As soon as Fang Baoyu held the sword, he felt extremely comfortable in his heart, and almost forgot all the hunger, thirst, and exhaustion of his body. This feeling is just like when a calligrapher touches exquisite paper, pen and inkstone, or when an alcoholic has a glass of fine wine in his hand.His empty and hesitant heart immediately had sustenance, he was sure that he could entrust his life and everything to this sword, only the sword was the most reliable. He stood there silently, making his mind and sword one.The dross of his heart had settled, his pain and doubt had filtered from the point of his sword. Then, he dared to move forward. The weird scene in the cave is no longer in his eyes. Just because he only has the sword in his eyes, and only the sword in his heart. Suddenly, the surroundings became gravely dark again. But his footsteps didn't stop, and she didn't need to fumble with her hands anymore, because his mind had already produced a strange sense of touch through the tip of the sword. He has been able to replace his head with a sword. Silence, deathly silence. Suddenly, a murderous aura came from the darkness! Fang Baoyu's whole body was terrified. The surroundings were still as dark as a tomb, and as silent as death. It seemed that nothing had changed at all, but this murderous aura rolled over like waves. Fang Baoyu really felt the force of this murderous aura, which made him almost stop breathing. He raised his sword, and his footsteps involuntarily slowed down, almost stopping completely. In the darkness, there was indeed a flash of sword light, and then stopped there. Fang Baoyu couldn't see the person holding the sword at all, he could only see the sword, which hovered there like magic, blocking his way. This sword is not terrible, what is terrible is the murderous aura on the sword!What this sword carries, it goes without saying that it is an earth-shattering move! This move is naturally one of the other three killers that can hurt Fang Baoyu! The sword in Fang Baoyu's palm also stopped there.In the dark, I can't see anything, I can't hear anything, only these two swords. The murderous aura on the two swords! Fang Baoyu had never faced such a serious murderous intent!But the strange thing is that the body of the man holding the sword does not seem to be enveloped in this murderous aura. This is almost inconceivable - the person holding the sword and the murderous aura on the sword are completely separated into two bodies, this phenomenon is almost absolutely impossible to happen. This phenomenon can only happen under one circumstance, that is - although the sword has a strong murderous aura, the person holding the sword has no intention of hurting him at all. Therefore, although the murderous aura on the sword is majestic, people are fragile, and this fragile "popularity" has imperceptibly diluted the "sword aura" of the majestic! What is this for? Fang Baoyu focused on the sword, and suddenly remembered the knife of the Iron Gold Saber. The murderous aura on this sword is comparable only to that of the Tiejin Dao, but this sword does not have the fierce "murderous intent" of the Tiejin Dao! The murderous aura on this sword can almost be said to carry "good intentions". What's going on here? Silence, deathly silence.But in this silence, Baoyu seemed to hear a silent rhythm, a supreme rhythm in music. Suddenly, Jian Guang drew an arc. This rotation, this arc, is also surprisingly graceful, stepping on the highest rhythm between heaven and earth, dancing out the essence of the dance in the silent rhythm. Baoyu suddenly - this is exactly like the knife of the man in white! The sword light flickered, turned into a light curtain, and struck Baoyu like lightning. The sword wind is like the howling of a wild beast! In the darkness, there was only a flash of sword light, and Baoyu's sword and this sword had switched positions - but the two of them did not fall down. In the darkness, there was already a slight gasp. Although this moment is short, it has crossed the boundary between life and death. This is the greatest stimulation incomparable between heaven and earth. After this stimulation, who can not breathe? Both stood still. I don't know how long it took before I suddenly heard an old voice saying: "Have you seen this trick before?" The voice was full of astonishment, but it was not because Baoyu was able to avoid this trick, but because he saw it. Surprised by this trick. Baoyu said, "Yes!" The voice said: "Who used to cast this trick on you?" Baoyu said: "Iron gold knife." The voice lost his voice: "Iron Gold Sword? He..." Baoyu cut off and said, "Although that knife was struck by an iron and gold knife, it is not the same." The voice said: "How do you say this?" Baoyu said: "It's just because the iron and gold sword is ordered by others." That voice said: "The man in white?" Baoyu said, "Exactly!" The voice was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Is that move exactly the same as my move?" Baoyu said: "Nineteen are the same, but there is one biggest difference." The voice said: "What do you say?" Baoyu said: "The most murderous point of that move is also the flaw. His body temperature leaked from the flaw, so I took the risk to attack this point, and it really succeeded." The voice was silent for a while, and then he sighed: "Okay." Baoyu said: "However, before you strike, you didn't accumulate any strength, nor did you feel nervous, so your body temperature is completely normal. From this, it can be seen that although there is murderous intent on your sword, there is no murderous intent in your heart... The murderous intent is only from the move itself." The voice said: "Oh!" Baoyu said: "Because your Excellency has no murderous intent in your heart, when you perform this move, your heart and sword cannot be combined into one, so the murderous aura on your sword is naturally not as fierce as that of the iron and gold knife. " The voice said: "So how?" Baoyu said: "When the knife is struck, there will be blood, so I was forced to take his life, because there was no choice in the process, but your sword made me unable to kill at all! " The voice sighed: "That's right, if there is no intention of hurting others on the sword, it will never arouse the murderous intent on other people's sword. This is the supreme principle in the way of swordsmanship." Baoyu said: "But... Your Excellency has no intention of hurting others, but why do you use such killers to deal with me? Isn't this contradictory? I really don't understand." That voice said: "It's fine if you don't understand." Baoyu said: "Also, this move is the secret of the 'man in white'. In the whole world, no one else knows the secret of this move, but where did you learn it? I am even more puzzled." .” The voice said slowly: "You will know soon." Baoyu said, "Soon?" That voice said: "It's not long ago..." Although he only uttered five words, when he spoke the last word, he was already several zhang away. Now, there are only two moves left to hurt Fang Baoyu. But Fang Baoyu was even more suspicious. In that moment just now, he had passed two killer moves, but the people who used these two killer moves to him did not have any malicious intentions towards him. This is the first oddity. The second point, although he has experienced these two killer moves before, he really can't think of the relationship between the people who used these two moves to him before and these two people now. The "ruthless son" Jiang Xiaomin may have some relationship with the "White Water Palace". Maybe people in the White Water Palace know his move of Hainan Excalibur. But how could the people in the White Water Palace use the unique trick of "the man in white in the East China Sea"?The Whitewater Palace and the man in white are completely irrelevant, so how can there be any relationship? In fact, the more Baoyu thought about it, the more confused he became, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Now, although the remaining killer has only two moves, but the first two moves are so amazing, how fierce will the next two moves be?How strange?Baoyu really can't stop his heart. In particular, he is really out of energy at the moment, whether he can still resist those two unpredictable killers, Baoyu can't even think about it. As he was thinking about it, the light returned to his surroundings at some point, and the soft pearl light scattered from the rocks, faintly reflecting his shadow on the ground. He looked at his own shadow, and suddenly, he saw footprints on the ground. A long series of footprints, each footprint is deeply imprinted on the ground, from the depths of the cave's secret passage to here, and disappears here. Could this be the footprint left by the man? Could it be that he just walked out from the center of the White Water Palace? He deliberately left these footprints, could it be that he was pointing the way to Baoyu? Fang Baoyu thought for a while, and finally walked forward following the footprints. The road in the cave is really winding and changing, which is unimaginable. Without the guidance of these footprints, Baoyu really doesn't know which way to go. He walked very slowly, trying to regain his strength as he walked - his eyes didn't want to recognize it anymore, but he just looked at a line of strange characters. This line of characters was engraved on the rock, and there were moss marks on the handwriting. It was obvious that it had been engraved for a long time. These eight beautiful characters were surprisingly: "Ruanhong Villa, Xingxing Xiaolou." Baoyu was really taken aback. Isn't this "Ruanhong Villa, Small Building of Stars" exactly the place written in Jiang Xiaomin's suicide note?
