Traveling through the heavens begins with shooting the eagle

Chapter 103 Entering the Palace at Night
Lin'an Prefecture, in the southern suburbs of the valley.

Li Chuan searched all the way to this place and found that Hong Qigong and Guo Huang were indeed in the valley. As soon as he entered the valley, he saw Guo Jing who was practicing in the open space of the valley.

"Daozhang Li, long time no see." Guo Jing came up to greet Li Chuan warmly.

Li Chuan responded with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Guo for successfully winning this half-year appointment."

Guo Jingxing bowed and thanked: "Speaking of this matter, I haven't thanked Master Li yet."

If Li Chuan hadn't helped him earlier and pointed out that the Bodhisattva Snake in the mountains outside Xiangyang City had the ability to increase his martial arts, allowing him to quickly improve his martial arts with the help of snake gallbladders, it would have been impossible for his martial arts to improve so much in just half a year. .

It is impossible to defeat Mei Chaofeng and win this half-year appointment.

The two chatted for a while, and then Li Chuan explained his intention to Guo Jing.

Guo Jing replied: "That's it. Qi Gong is in the valley right now, teaching Ronger the dog-beating stick technique. Counting the time, it's time to finish. Mr. Li, please wait here for a while."

It's almost noon now. At this time every day, Hong Qigong will urge Huang Rong to cook. After all, for Hong Qigong, eating well is one of his only hobbies. If conditions permit, If so, it will definitely not hurt your stomach.

Hearing this, Li Chuan also nodded and agreed.

Sure enough, not long after, Hong Qigong and Huang Rong were seen walking out of the valley. When they saw Li Chuan arriving, they also came forward to greet them warmly.

Upon seeing this, Hong Qigong took the opportunity to instruct Huang Rong to add two more dishes today, so as to entertain Li Chuan and gain some benefits for himself.

"You mean a master who uses flying needles?" After hearing Li Chuan's inquiry, Hong Qigong thought for a while and said, "There are really not many people in the world who use hidden weapons such as steel needles."

"In addition, as you said, the flying needle is extremely small, even a sewing needle used by ordinary women, and it is powerful enough to shoot such a small sewing needle directly through the human body and into the chest. How can anyone in the world There are very few people who can do this.”

"And as far as I know, the old beggar, there is only one person who can do this."

"But that person should not appear in the world."

"Because that old monster is an old eunuch in the Song Dynasty Palace. His origin is unknown and his apprenticeship is unknown. When I was young, I sneaked into the palace and was almost detained by the old monster."

"But he is very old now, and for all these years, he has only stayed in the palace and has never traveled in the world."

"Is it possible that this old monster suddenly wants to leave the palace when he is getting old, and he is going around the world killing people? There is no reason."

Li Chuan also nodded thoughtfully and said: "Indeed, according to what Qi Gongqian said, that old man had no reason to leave the palace and go to the world to kill people wantonly, and also deliberately blamed me, the Quanzhen Sect. "

"But since the flying needle technique used by the murderer is so similar to that of the old man, then the murderer must have some relationship with him, maybe he is his disciple or something."

"So this junior wants to go to the palace to meet the senior in person and ask him face to face."

Hong Qigong said: "This is a way, then let me go with you. After all, the old monster has a somewhat withdrawn and weird temper. If you go alone, the old monster will inevitably attack you. ." "Moreover, the palace is heavily guarded and the terrain is complex. If you don't have someone familiar with the matter to lead you, you may not be able to find the place easily."

"Don't go astray and go directly to the emperor's palace. You'll be in trouble if you are regarded as an assassin by those powerful officials."

Hong Qigong wanted to help and accompany him to the palace, so Li Chuan naturally would not refuse his kindness.

After all, as Hong Qigong said, the palace is not an ordinary place, so it would be nice to have less trouble.

So, that night, Li Chuan and Hong Qigong entered the imperial city at night, and then Hong Qigong led the way to the library where the old eunuch lived in seclusion.

But when the two of them arrived at the Library Pavilion, they did not find the old eunuch. The person in charge of the Library Pavilion also turned into an unknown middle-aged eunuch.

The night was already deep, but the middle-aged eunuch still had not fallen asleep. Instead, he held an oil lamp and searched for something from shelf to shelf in the library.

puff! Li Chuan pointed at the middle-aged eunuch from behind, walked up to him and said, "My father-in-law, please rest assured, I have no intention of harming anyone, I just want to inquire about something, please don't shout out. "

The eunuch was quite sensible, and upon hearing this, he immediately winked at Li Chuan as a signal.

Seeing this, Li Chuan also opened the acupuncture points for him.

"Well" the eunuch snorted, and his stagnant body regained the ability to move. He raised his head and glanced at Li Chuan, and asked, "This little Taoist priest, I don't know if you entered the palace at night and found this library. What happened?"

Li Chuan said: "I'm actually here to look for someone. I don't know where the senior who guarded this library has gone now."

The middle-aged eunuch's eyes flashed and he said: "So you came to see Eunuch Zhang, but you came too late. Eunuch Zhang passed away two months ago."

Li Chuan raised his eyebrows: "Dead?"

If the old eunuch had passed away two months ago, then naturally he could not be the one committing murders and crimes in the world now.

After thinking for a while, Li Chuan asked again: "Eunuch, do you know if Eunuch Zhang has any descendants or disciples?"

When the middle-aged eunuch heard this, his thoughts suddenly changed, and he secretly thought that this person was also here to look for the martial arts inheritance left by Eunuch Zhang, right?
Eunuch Zhang has unfathomable martial arts skills. Even within the palace, few people know about this. It just so happens that this middle-aged eunuch is one of them.

That's why he deliberately cleared up the relationship after Eunuch Zhang passed away and took the job of managing the library, in order to secretly search for the martial arts secrets and inheritance left by Eunuch Zhang.

But Li Chuan's arrival tonight made him feel a sense of crisis. Isn't this man here to compete with me for Eunuch Zhang's martial arts secrets?
"Little Taoist Priest, although we don't know where you learned about Eunuch Zhang, we still want to remind you that the martial arts inheritance left by Eunuch Zhang cannot be practiced by eunuchs unless they are eunuchs. "

"And little Taoist Priest, you have already acquired such a profound martial arts at such a young age, so why should you make the mistake of coveting this eunuch's martial arts?"

He was smart, knowing that he was definitely not Li Chuan's opponent, so he was unwilling to have a direct conflict with him. He only gave advice and made it clear that the martial arts left by Eunuch Zhang could only be practiced by eunuchs, hoping to use this to break Li Chuan's mind. thoughts.
