Reclaiming the Way of the Empire

"Li Ting, Li Ting..."

In a daze, Li Ting heard someone calling his name, the voice was very familiar, he frowned, thought for a while, opened his eyes immediately, and grabbed the hand of the person beside him: "Ping Sheng?! "

As soon as he said this, Li Ting immediately felt that he was hugged tightly in his arms, Ren Pingsheng's familiar breath filled his entire lungs, he was stunned for a while, then stretched out his hand to hug Ren Pingsheng tightly - —

Great, none of them died.

but,

In the situation just now, could it be that Ren Pingsheng forcibly split the wall pressing them open, and then blocked the big rock for him?

Li Ting turned his head in doubt, but found that they were no longer in the place where they were hiding just now: Right now, the room he is in has only a weak emergency light, but the walls are supported by light blue crystals, under the shining blue light Not far away, Master Lingzhi sat cross-legged quietly, and Shuang Jiang leaned against her grandfather.

"It was the master who saved us," Ren Pingsheng saw Li Ting's doubts, and explained, "At the very moment, the master arrived and saved us, and even brought us to the basement of the Buddhist scriptures pavilion, which is regarded as the warehouse of the treasure house. .”

Li Ting blinked and nodded, but still looked at Master Lingzhi worriedly.

"Master is still resting, don't bother him in the past." Ren Pingsheng pulled Li Ting to stand up, while explaining everything that happened just now, he stretched out his hand to touch Li Ting's lower abdomen, "Just now the child made trouble with you again Well, does it still hurt now?"

After being told by Ren Pingsheng, Li Ting noticed that the child hadn't moved for a long time, so he rubbed Ren Pingsheng's hand on his belly and shook his head, "It doesn't hurt anymore, this little guy seems to have listened to my words. "

"What?"

Li Ting blinked, deliberately teasingly smiled, and slipped out of Ren Pingsheng's arms: "I won't tell you, this is a secret between me and the baby."

Ren Pingsheng still wanted to ask something, but Master Lingzhi opened his eyes at this moment, and said to them: "Mr. Li, Mr. Ren, please come here."

When Shuang Jiang saw his grandfather woke up, he also rubbed his eyes and sat upright, looking at Master Lingzhi.

"Mr. Li, I didn't expect such a situation today. I'm afraid that the Shaolin Temple's huge empire is in danger. This treasure house has a passage leading to the outside, but there is a natural moat. The pontoon bridge on it is not very stable, and the world is ruled outside. The bombing is not stopping, I am afraid that even if you can go out, the chance of crossing the sky is not great."

Master Lingzhi spoke frankly, but Li Ting and Ren Pingsheng's faces darkened when they heard it, Xiao Yiqing's chess move was beautiful——

In vain, he temporarily cooperated with the May Sword Sect, and pretended to agree to Xie Junhuai's proposal to jointly develop Lin Yuxing's green stone resources. In fact, he secretly gathered people and prepared to wipe them all out. It can be described as a plan to kill three birds with one stone. This person has a profound city, and can be regarded as the head of the four major planets.

"As long as there is a glimmer of life, we have to give it a try, and hope that the master will show us the way."

What Ren Pingsheng said was exactly what Li Ting was thinking.

Master Lingzhi also nodded and said, "Of course, this old man will point out the two gentlemen's ways to escape. Just now, I saw your intention of protecting this girl, and now I am also relieved to hand her over to you. I only hope that If there is a day when Shaolin Temple is restored to the country in the future, you can help her a little bit. Although this child cannot become a noble mercenary, she has been raised in a hundred schools since she was a child, and she will definitely become an outstanding Baixiao student in the future."

Although Shuang Jiang was young, when she heard what Master Lingzhi said, she also changed her face: "Grandpa! I don't want to be a king, I only want you to live, Grandpa!"

"We take what the master said to our hearts, but the princess is still young," Li Ting persuaded, "Don't you want to keep her by your side? Your grandparents are very affectionate, even if the Shaolin Temple is destroyed, as long as you can escape." , we will definitely help Master restore the country with all our strength.”

Master Lingzhi smiled, he shook his head, finally looked at Li Ting and Ren Pingsheng, and sighed: "It's just a strange thing, I didn't get to know you two earlier. But in my lifetime, it's a privilege to be able to see the Legend of Hengdao Heroic, old age is not in vain."

Even though he said so, the corners of Master Lingzhi's mouth overflowed with blood, and Li Ting and Ren Pingsheng both went to support him in shock: "Master!"

"Ahem," Master Lingzhi shook his head, indicating that he was fine. He stretched out his hand to wipe off the blood stains on his lips, then looked at Shuangjiang and said, "Shuang'er, go and help Grandpa get a blue one in the cabinet over there." Fetch the vial, will you?"

"Grandpa, I..." Shuang Jiang didn't want to go, it would take more than 30 minutes to go to the cabinet over there.

"Go," Master Lingzhi patted Shuangjiang's hand, "Grandpa also has something to tell you, Brother Li and Brother Ren, Grandpa promised you that he will accompany you out, okay?"

After receiving the promise from Master Lingzhi, Shuang Jiang nodded and walked towards the cabinet step by step.

When Shuangjiang was far away, Master Lingzhi coughed twice and spit out more blood——

"Great Wisdom—!"

"It's okay, I'm fine..." Master Lingzhi signaled Li Ting and Ren Pingsheng to keep silent, he just looked at Li Ting and said, "Mr. Li, I wanted you to participate in the competition, originally I wanted to give you something, but now something happened With so many accidents, there are some things that I have to say..."

"Master, please tell me."

"Your master, Wang Zhongwen of Dongshui Pavilion, and I have been close friends for many years. You are his proud disciple, and this old man also got the news from these geniuses. In the early years, he once gave me a famous blade called ' Youji's Bow Citation'. It has been stored in this treasure house by the old man. It was originally intended to be used by my ineffective kid. Now it seems that he has nothing to do with this knife, ahem..."

Cited by Ji's bow, Li Ting's eyes flickered. It was the five words written by his master Wang Zhongwen in his palm before his death, but he didn't expect that what happened at that time should be here.

"Mr. Li, help me up."

Master Lingzhi stretched out his hand to Li Ting, Li Ting quickly supported the old man to prop him up, the old man led Li Ting to a weapon rack, and what he took down was a snake as long as a human arm The blade is single, the shape of the blade is twisted into two bends, the double blade is open, and the handle is wrapped with a thick thread. The material is good, but it is old.

"But master, I can't handle straight knives."

Li Ting looked at the knife, of course he knew that the old man had good intentions, but his voice was still far away from the straight knife.

Master Lingzhi shook his head vigorously and said:

"No, this is a double knife. This is exactly what I want to tell you, Mr. Li. When I got this knife, I thought it was just a straight knife, but my old friend, your The master said that these are double swords, and they are the best double swords in the world. After so many years, I have never understood the whole story, and handing it over to you today is the fulfillment of a wish of the old man."

Li Ting frowned, and took the sick knife. Could it be that [Yuji's Bow Citation] is also the same as Ren Pingsheng's [Death God's Scythe], with hidden secrets?

Master Lingzhi gasped for a while, then pulled Li Ting to explain:

"Mr. Li, although in this universe, people who can control two kinds of intelligent symbiotic weapons like you are rare, but I have to rely on my old man to persuade you. Your flying knife is far inferior to using double knives Hurry up. Although the flying knife profession is scarce, it is not suitable for you, and the fifth butterfly dance can't play its greatest role in your hands is the best proof."

"The master means—" Li Ting kept You Ji's bow by his side, "Or let me practice double swords alone?"

Master Lingzhi nodded, just at this moment, Shuang Jiang also came back with the small blue bottle, and he seemed relieved to see that Grandpa was indeed fine.Master Lingzhi swallowed the contents of the small bottle with his head up. After a while, his spirit seemed to recover, and he stood up without Li Ting and Ren Pingsheng's support: "Okay, staying here won't last long. Come on, everyone, come with me."

Master Lingzhi probably had enough rest, and now he was moving so fast that Li Ting and the others could hardly keep up with the old man.After turning two corners and going up to the next floor, they walked out of the scripture pavilion. There was still a sea of ​​fire and war outside, but there was a way to escape in front of them——

but,

Just as Master Lingzhi said, it is a natural moat.

The Sutra Pavilion was built on the top of a mountain on the equator of Shaolin Temple. Although they crawled out from the ground at this moment, they were not noticed by the people in the world.However, the passage dug halfway up the mountain was already crumbling, and it seemed careless and secure.

Below the floating corridor is a deep valley, inside the deep valley is an undercurrent flowing violently, if you fall, you will suffer from radiation sickness even if you are not dead.

Master Lingzhi let out a sigh of relief:

"Everyone, this is right here. After passing this pontoon bridge, you can go out from the encirclement of King's Landing. This bridge can only be passed one by one. Who, go up first?"

Li Ting and Ren Pingsheng looked at each other, then pointed to Shuang Jiang.

"Me?!" Shuang Jiang took a step back, as if he was afraid of heights, "No, no, I dare not."

"Shuang'er, now is not the time to dare!" Master Lingzhi frowned, "If you dare not, you will drag us all to die here. You are the princess of the empire and the only heir to the royal power in the future. Even this difficulty cannot be overcome. , how to become a person who stands alone!"

Shuang Jiang had never been uttered such harsh words by Master Lingzhi. She immediately turned pale, gritted her teeth, and held back the tears in her eyes. She replied loudly, "Go, just go! I don't want to be a burden to everyone!"

After finishing speaking, Shuang Jiang walked up the narrow floating corridor, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then ran towards the opposite side without looking under the bridge.The verandah was really not solid, a little girl from Shuangjiang was walking on it, and it was already wobbly, and there were fragments falling off in some places.

Although it looked dangerous, Shuang Jiang ran safely to the other side, and before he set foot on land, the little girl fell to her knees on the ground with limp legs.

"Frost's Fall—!"

Master Lingzhi was still a little worried about his granddaughter, so he shouted anxiously.

The little girl knelt in a daze for a while, and found that she had overcome the obstacles in her heart and walked over the bridge. She blushed with excitement at that moment, and she stood up quickly: "Grandpa! I did it! I did it!"

"Yes, my granddaughter is the best." Master Lingzhi smiled, but the fingers hanging by his hand firmly pinched into the palm of his hand.

"Grandpa, Brother Li, Brother Ren, come quickly!" Shuang Jiang waved at them, as if she was very happy with her brave behavior just now.

"Master, shall we go up?" Li Ting stepped aside and stood beside Ren Pingsheng.

Unexpectedly, Master Lingzhi shook his head:

"The old man walks slowly, Li Ting, you go first."

"But……"

"You go there first," Ren Ping patted Li Ting's shoulder in a loud voice, "I'll bring Master over in a while."

Ren Pingsheng said so, and Li Ting was inconvenient to refuse, but just as he walked up the floating corridor, the bridge deck shook violently. Li Ting took a few steps forward cautiously, and the floating corridor was visibly shaking more and more. Li Ting stood in the middle of the bridge, not knowing whether to go forward or back.

The situation was extremely critical, and the floating corridor broke away from where he was with a "click", and Shuang Jiang screamed from the opposite side——

"Run! Li Ting, run forward!" Ren Pingsheng's voice came with the wind, Li Ting is still in the symbiotic state of flying knives, and his body is naturally light. Came in front of Shuangjiang, but——

A section of the floating corridor behind him collapsed, and the floating corridors on both sides are still there, but a section of the bridge deck above the undercurrent in the middle has fallen: the bridge is broken.

"Grandpa... Brother Ren..." Shuang Jiang muttered to himself in disbelief, and immediately fell to his knees.

Li Ting looked at Ren Pingsheng on the other side, and then visually measured the distance of the broken floating corridor, and made a plan in his heart——

A horizontal knife cannot cover such a wide distance, but a flying knife can.If he goes back, he will bring Ren Pingsheng and Master Lingzhi over again and again...

Thinking of this, Li Ting was ready to do the same right now, under Shuang Jiang's surprised eyes, he walked up the floating corridor from this side, jumped up, and returned to Ren Pingsheng's side.Ren Pingsheng obviously didn't expect Li Ting to come back, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Li Ting was thinking: "Are you crazy?! Take us, you, how can you go back?!"

"If you don't try, how will you know?" Li Ting smiled and turned to look at Master Lingzhi, but the smile on his face froze: "Master...?"

Master Lingzhi was originally wearing a brown gown, but now it was covered with blood, and where he was sitting, there was also a large puddle of blood on the ground.Master Lingzhi himself just smiled weakly, and said in a low voice: "Don't, don't let the girl know..."

"Master, when will you..."

"After all, I'm getting old, two particle cannons won't work..." Master Lingzhi smiled, "Hurry up, you two, and tell the girl that grandpa will always watch her no matter where she is. She, what she did was very...very good..."

As Master Lingzhi said, a large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth, and he was useless. He had exhausted all his physical strength just now to get here all the way. Li Ting's healing skills would not help at all. .

For a split second, Ren Pingsheng pressed Li Ting's head in his arms and said nothing.Li Ting didn't make a sound, but lying in Ren Pingsheng's arms, there were still tears streaming down his eyes.

"Brother Li, Brother Ren—what's the matter with you? Come here quickly? Grandpa—why don't you come here?"

Shuang Jiang on the other side didn't know it, and was still anxiously urging.

However, at this moment, above their heads, the sky gradually dimmed——
