One joke from the witch, I open the gate of heaven with one sword

Chapter 4 Swords are for killing people, not for fun.

"Go to sleep, too."

After sending Chen Ci away, Xu Lan turned his attention to the two girls Qingluan and Hongluan.

"Okay, sir, if anything happens, just shout."

Qingluan and Hongluan looked at each other and then exited the room.

After they left, the candlelight in the room was extinguished, and Xu Lan fell asleep peacefully.

Time passed by, and around midnight, an agile figure appeared in the yard.

She glanced at the room where Xu Lan was, showing a slightly puzzled expression.

Didn't this prodigal son fall asleep hugging him from left to right?
However, she didn't think too much. Instead, she jumped onto the eaves of the courtyard and quickly walked towards the outside of Xu's mansion.

In an alley outside Xu Mansion,

There were already several figures in police uniforms waiting here, and when they saw Chen Ci arriving, they all clasped their fists and saluted.

"I met Mr. Chen."

Chen Ci held the sword hilt with one hand and asked carefully: "Everyone mentioned in Xu Lan's confession, has there ever been anything wrong?"

"The subordinates and others have gone to investigate and found the people Xu Lan described in his confession. After questioning them one by one, they found that there were no mistakes."

Hearing the words, Chen Ci fell into silence,
Is it really my own illusion?
"Sir, I have a question. What's really wrong with this Xu Lan?"

At this time, one person was puzzled,
According to the information obtained by Xuan Jingsi, Xu Lan's family background is clean and he is still a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken. What problems can he have?
"His confession was perfect."

Chen Ci said expressionlessly: "A confession that no one can find any flaws in. Don't you think it's weird?"

Falling into the hands of people in the Demon Cult, and being able to come back safe and sound is itself a big loophole.

"My lord suspects that he is in collusion with the evil cult rebels?"

"That possibility is not ruled out."

Chen Ci looked in the direction of Xu Mansion and continued: "In addition, I am also worried that there will be another situation where he is planted with inner demons by the Demon Cult without his knowledge."

When they heard the words "sowing inner demons", everyone's expressions changed slightly.

This is a secret technique used by the Demon Cult to control other people's minds. The person who is subjected to the technique is often unable to realize that his every move is controlled by others until his death.

It was also because of this secret technique that the Demon Cult was like a weed in the Chu Dynasty.

"According to the information we got before, there is a candidate saint among the demon cult rebels who are hunting down this time. She can't run very far if she is poisoned."

Chen Ci said every word: "In this situation, the most dangerous place is often the safest place."

What if the demon sect rebels threatened Xu Lan to make some kind of deal to let him return home safely, and then hide in Xu's mansion to avoid arrest.

Then wouldn’t the Xuanjing Division have become a clown being played by others?

"You continue to track down the whereabouts of the Devil Cult traitor, she must still be around Qingzhou."

Then Chen Ci spoke slowly: "As for Xu Lan, whether he has any problems or not, I need to stay and observe him for a while."

"Yes."

Everyone clasped their fists in response and dispersed, and Chen Ci also turned around and returned to Xu's residence.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Xu Lan opened her eyes and woke up, and finished washing with the help of two maids.

“It’s such an enviable life as a scholar.”

Xu Lan didn't even have to wash his face, Xu Lan felt that he would become a waste if he continued like this.

But he does not reject this kind of life.

"Take the sword off the wall for me."

Starting today, Xu Lan decided to set a small goal for herself every day: swing the sword a thousand times!

"Young master, is this going to practice swords?"

Hearing this, Qingluan and Hongluan looked surprised.

Although they had not been in the Xu Mansion for a long time, they also learned from other servants that their young master had not been interested in practicing martial arts since he was a child.

"Practice a bit, you should definitely do it."

Xu Lan didn't explain much, and then Qingluan took off the long sword from the wall and handed it to him.

Then Xu Lan started swinging his sword in the yard,

[The number of sword swings +1, the current total number of sword swings is 2. 】

[The number of sword swings +1, the current total number of sword swings is 3. 】

[The number of sword swings +1, the current total number of sword swings is 4. 】

.......
At the same time, Chen Ci, who had her eyes closed in the room in the courtyard next door, seemed to hear something. She slowly opened her eyes with a confused look.

"Didn't it say that Xu Lan, the eldest son of Xu, didn't like to practice martial arts since he was a child?"

With doubts in his heart, he walked out of his room and jumped up the wall, and saw Xu Lan who was swinging his sword continuously.

At first she thought that Xu Lan was practicing some kind of swordsmanship, but looking at her, she found that Xu Lan was repeating a slashing movement from beginning to end.

"Flower Shelf"

Chen Ci silently complained in his heart, even if he practiced for 1 years, he would not be able to practice anything.

[The number of sword swings +1, the current total number of sword swings is 100. 】

[Accumulated 100 sword swing times, you have awakened [Innate Sword Body]! 】

At the same time, Xu Lan's mind moved slightly. Is this... already something to gain?
Innate sword body
Could it be that he has a certain physique suitable for practicing swordsmanship?
"Master Xu, swords are for killing people, not for playing tricks."

Chen Ci originally didn't want to pay attention to Xu Lan, but in the end he couldn't stand it anymore.

She jumped down from the wall and came to Xu Lan's side and drew out the long sword from her waist. The moment the sword was unsheathed, Xu Lan felt a biting chill.

This sword has killed people.

I don’t know why Xu Lan had this intuition in her heart,

At this time, the long sword in Chen Ci's hand shook slightly. Her figure was sometimes as light as a swallow, and sometimes as fast as lightning. Qingluan and Hongluan could not see her movements clearly.

Just seeing the fallen leaves in the yard dance with her sword,
But in Xu Lan's eyes, all Chen Ci's actions at this moment are like a movie slowed down countless times.

He could clearly see every movement of Chen Ci, every time he drew his sword.
In an instant, the long sword in Chen Ci's hand condensed into invisible sword energy with a sharp piercing sound, leaving sword marks on the wall a few meters away.

After dozens of breaths,
Chen Ci stopped and slowly put the sword back to his waist.

"This is called a sword."

Chen Ci said slowly, she just wanted to let Xu Lan know that she didn't just pick up the sword and swing it a few times just to practice the sword.

"Miss Chen is so handsome!"

Xu Lan clapped his hands and said, "Is this some kind of sword technique?"

"Ah."

Chen Ci raised his head slightly, and said proudly in a slightly lower tone: "This set of swordsmanship was created a hundred years ago by a master of swordsmanship in the Great Chu Dynasty. For a hundred years, almost no one has been able to comprehend the true meaning of this set of swordsmanship, even like me. It took ten years to learn a little superficially."

"That's it"

Xu Lan nodded and said, "Then let me give it a try."

Chen Ci:? ? ?
What are you trying?
"Just now, when I saw the girl dancing the sword, I felt a little bit in my heart. If there is anything wrong, I ask the girl to correct me one by one."
