Eternal Sword

Chapter 306 I’m back!

Chen Tang strolled along the street, observing everyone in the city and paying close attention to their behavior.

Qianzhu City is not as prosperous as the provincial capital of Qian State, but there are many people coming and going, from all walks of life, good and bad people mixed together.

The driver may just be a driver, or he may be a hermit.

The beggar begging on the roadside, the monk begging for alms, the jugglers on the street corner, the vendors in the shop, the samurai, ronin, and quack doctors in the crowd, everyone may be a hermit.

This is the horror of the hermit world.

Once you are here, danger is everywhere. Even the most innocent passers-by may suddenly kill you!
You must remain vigilant at all times. If you are distracted for even a moment, you may lose your head and body.

The hawking sounds on both sides of the street, the noise and quarrels in the crowd will cover up many things and affect the judgment of "Listening to the Wind".

There are obviously more pedestrians coming and going.

It seems that the news of his leaving Shadow Tower has spread throughout Qianzhu City.

A gray tarp on the second floor suddenly fell down, blocking the sunlight.

Chen Tang felt a darkness above his head, and under the shadow, murderous intent descended!
The assassination came not only from the shadow behind the tarpaulin above, but from all directions!

The pedestrian who just passed by Chen Tang suddenly took out a broken blade, stabbed Chen Tang in the vest with a backhand.

The juggler not far away turned around, gave Chen Tang a strange smile, and then opened his mouth and spurted out a ball of fire, which came towards him, bringing a heat wave!
The beggars on the roadside, the monks begging for alms, the vendors in the shops, and the warriors in the crowd all turned into hermits at this moment, bared their fangs, and attacked one after another.

A dazzling knife light appeared.

Cut through the shadow of the rain cloth and split the heat wave of fire.

Not many people saw clearly how Chen Tang made his move.

In everyone's eyes, there was only that stunning flash of sword light.

In an instant, swords flashed and blood surged.

In less than ten breaths, the assassination was over.

Only a tall figure was left standing on the street corner, with corpses lying all around him and bright red blood flowing in the cracks between the stones.

Without waiting for the corpse collector to arrive, Chen Tang quickly searched the corpse all over, put some hidden coins in his arms, and then got up and left.

The corpse collectors followed and carried the bodies away.

The street corner soon returned to calm and was filled with people again, as if everything that had just happened had never happened.

Chen Tang continued to wander around.

He did not act arrogantly and just walked within a one-mile radius centered on the Shadow Building.

If any accident occurs or if you are injured or in danger, you can retreat to Shadow Building at any time.

Not long after, Chen Tang saw the blind fortune teller in a corner.

The night before yesterday, if the blind fortune teller had not intervened, he might not have been able to return to Shadow Building alive.

Feeling grateful for this, Chen Tang came to the blind fortune teller and threw another hidden coin into the empty bowl in front of him.

"Fortune telling?"

The blind fortune teller asked.

"Not counting."

Chen Tang said: "I don't believe this."

"Then I won't take it."

The blind fortune teller tapped the broken bowl with his walking stick, and the hidden coin inside jumped out and flew towards Chen Tang.

Chen Tang burst out laughing.

This fortune teller has quite a bad temper.

Chen Tang threw the hidden coin over again and said, "Then let's calculate the fortune for today."

The blind fortune teller took the hidden coin, counted on his fingers for a long time, and said, "No problem."

"What is no blame?"

Chen Tang asked.

The blind fortuneteller said, "The hexagrams can be roughly divided into three categories: Yuanji, Shangji, and Ji according to good or bad luck; three categories: Wujiu, Hui, and Lin; and three categories: Li, Ju, and Xiong."

Chen Tang said: "Wujiu means ordinary, neither good nor bad?"

"good."

The blind fortune teller nodded slightly.

Chen Tang smiled, didn't take it seriously, and walked away.

The blind fortune teller's prediction is the same as saying nothing.

...After Ye Yushi woke up, he adjusted his breath in the room for a while, but he didn't see any movement from Chen Tang.

She thought about it and went out and knocked on Chen Tang's door.

There was no response from inside.

Ye Yushi thought about what Chen Tang said yesterday and realized that Chen Tang might have gone out.

In her current state, she couldn't help and could only wait.

She returned to her room and wanted to practice internal energy, but after sitting in meditation for a long time, she just couldn't calm down.

This is a situation that has never occurred in previous practice.

She was worried about Chen Tang.

She had never experienced such a situation before, and her mind was even so disturbed that she couldn't practice.

Two days ago, she was poisoned and seriously injured. She was isolated and helpless in a foreign land and could fall into the hands of the enemy at any time.

She didn't even dare to think carefully about what would happen to her if she fell into the other party's hands.

Even in that dangerous environment, she could enter a state of meditation at any time.

However, since arriving at the Hermit Island and being injured, she had fallen into coma several times and woke up countless times at night, sweating profusely and feeling extremely weak.

She didn't have a good night's sleep during those days. She was exhausted both physically and mentally and was on the verge of collapse.

In fact, when she went downstairs that day, she had already made up her mind to die.

Until Chen Tang appeared.

At that moment, excitement, joy, mixed with grievance, fatigue and other complex emotions instantly flooded my heart.

Soon, Ye Yushi calmed down again.

She knew that Chen Tang's skills were not enough to solve her predicament.

But at least she was no longer alone and helpless.

Having someone by her side gave her a glimmer of hope for survival.

Later, Chen Tang left the Shadow Building, fought a fierce battle, and then set off to the port to get medicine for her. He fought bloody battles all the way, and came back limping with wounds all over his body...

These two days, she slept more soundly than ever before.

Because next door is Chen Tang, a man worthy of her entrusting her life to.

She didn't want anything to happen to Chen Tang.

She finally understood what her master once said: "Care too much and you will be confused."

Ye Yushi paced back and forth in the room. He tried several times to go back to bed and close his eyes to practice, but he was unable to enter a state of meditation.

If you force yourself to enter a state of meditation, you might easily go astray.

She pondered for a moment, then left the room and went downstairs to the lobby.

Ye Yushi looked indifferent, said nothing, and just sat in the lobby.

"What is this Jade Flute Fairy doing here?"

Liu Shou was a little curious and asked in a low voice.

Yunniang looked up and understood, shook her head and smiled, saying: "The fairy is upset."

At noon.

There are more and more hermits in the lobby, and occasionally news about Chen Tang will come in.

Some people said that Chen Tang was injured again.

It is said that when Chen Tang was touching the corpse, the hermit pretended to be dead and deceived Chen Tang, then injured him.

Some people say that Chen Tang escaped and his life or death is unknown.

Ye Yushi listened to all kinds of news in the lobby. On the surface, he seemed calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

Every time the door of Shadow Building was pushed open from the outside, she would look up, but then look away in disappointment.

boom!
The door was knocked open again.

A tall figure stumbled in, still covered in blood, and looked much better than yesterday.

"Ha ha!"

The man stood at the door of Shadow Building and waved provocatively at the hermits who had chased him outside.

Then he turned around, his face covered in blood, but he looked very energetic. He greeted Yun Niang and others at the counter and said, "I'm back!"
