Volume 17: The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword (Part 2) Chapter 392 Pretend to be a ghost
Night, mountains, small building.
The pink light emanating from the small building seemed to have a magical property that tempted people to commit crimes. It only dimly lit up there, yet it could attract countless men.
Tang Du's whole body was shaking with excitement. His lips were trembling as he wanted to speak to the girl in red, but no words came out.
Seeing him like this, the girl in red couldn't help but smile prettily and said, "Go quickly, the young lady must be waiting anxiously."
When Tang Du heard this, he could no longer hold back and hurried up the stairs along the winding staircase next to him, taking two steps at a time.
When he reached the door, he was so nervous that he staggered and fell.
The exquisite little door was slammed open by him.
Fortunately, he did not fall to the ground. Behind the door, a pair of delicate hands gently lifted him up and led him in.
The door closed again.
After that, no scene inside the house could be seen, and no sound could be heard.
The girl in red took some silver and sent the sedan bearers away. When she was alone again, she complained, "This Tang Du is really abominable. He clearly said that he could only come after an appointment, but today he showed up uninvited..."
"If it weren't for the fact that the lady didn't entertain anyone tonight, then I would have no choice but to go all out and poison him to death!"
The girl in red seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Tang Du, because she had been living comfortably in that small building, but as soon as Tang Du arrived at the "Stop the car and enjoy the drunkenness in the maple forest at dusk" restaurant, she had to go out in the strong wind to receive the guest.
"You want to poison him? But I know he's a disciple of the Tang Sect, and he won't be easily poisoned."
The girl in red was sighing when she suddenly heard a voice coming from the maple forest.
"Who? You're sneaking around, come out now!"
The girl in red shouted loudly.
"I'm right behind you, can't you feel it?"
The voice was vague and eerie. It was in the maple forest one moment and sounded behind the girl in red the next.
The girl in red suddenly turned around and slapped down, but there was no one in sight.
"I'm here."
The voice changed again, becoming low and terrifying, as if a ghost from hell was speaking.
The girl in red suddenly became a little scared and said, "Who are you? Don't play tricks on me!"
"It's not me, it's us. We are all ghosts killed by your young lady!"
The voice suddenly changed and returned to the air, its tone becoming sharp and resentful!
The voice kept changing and floating, from east to west, from south to north, making it impossible to tell where the speaking "ghost" was.
The girl in red finally became frightened and trembled as she said, "Ghost, don't come looking for me. My lady is cruel and ruthless, but I haven't done many bad things. If you want to seek revenge, go find her..."
Although she was dressed very maturely and spoke and acted very sophisticatedly, she was still just a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old after all.
How can a girl of this age not be afraid of ghosts?
"You really haven't done anything bad?"
"No...really not."
The girl in red leaned against a tree, protecting her shoulders with her hands, her face pale with fear.
"Okay, then I'll ask you a question and you answer it. What's your name?"
"My name is Lingling."
"What's your lady's name?"
Lingling hesitated for a moment, but still said, "The young lady's name is Lin Xian'er."
Lin Xianer, it was indeed her.
Apart from Lin Xian'er, who else could make a man lose his appetite and be so infatuated?
——She is a woman who can lead men to hell!
The ghost asked again: "What did Tang Du do upstairs in your young lady's house?"
Lingling said strangely: "What can a man and a woman do together? Oh, by the way, you are a ghost, you may not understand that kind of thing..."
The ghost interrupted, "No need to say more. What I want to ask is why your lady fell in love with Tang Du?"
Ling Ling said: "It seems to be because... because he has some impressive sword skills."
The ghost asked, "Swordsmanship?"
Lingling asked, "It is said that he worshipped Su Weiyun as his master. How long ago did you die? Do you know Su Weiyun?"
The ghost laughed and said, "Although I am dead, I still know the name of the upright, handsome and elegant hero Su."
Ling Ling murmured, "I never thought that Su Weiyun's reputation would spread to the underworld. It seems that he is really a big shot who should not be provoked."
The ghost actually laughed: "I will ask you one more question. If you answer it well, I will let you go."
Lingling immediately stood up and listened carefully.
"Tell me more, what is your special intention in learning Su Weiyun's swordsmanship?"
"I know that!"
Lingling quickly said, "He went to teach it to Master Shangguan Fei!"
"Young Master Shangguan Fei is the son of Shangguan Jinhong, the young master of the Money Gang!"
She was afraid that the ghost would not understand, so she specifically explained Shangguan Fei's identity.
Lingling said: "If you know Su Weiyun, you should know that Shangguan Jinhong and Su Weiyun are irreconcilable enemies. So after the lady learned the origin of Tang Du's swordsmanship, she deliberately presented it to Shangguan Fei in exchange for enough benefits!"
Lingling told all the reasons she had guessed in one breath.
"Okay, you're such a good kid, I won't hurt you. I only hurt bad people!"
“I’m not a bad person!”
When Lingling heard this, she ran towards the hotel at the foot of the mountain.
After she left, the ghost slowly appeared, with a sword on each side of his waist. It was Su Weiyun!
He had just used Tu Jiaojiao and Yin Jiuyou's trick to pretend to be a ghost, and it really scared the ignorant little girl.
"I never thought that I would be discovered by the Money Gang less than a month after I accepted you as my disciple... Tang Du, Tang Du, should I save you from hell?"
Su Weiyun was a little hesitant.
"Forget it, I'll test him one more time."
…
On the third day, Su Weiyun pretended not to know that Tang Du had a tryst with Lin Xian'er, and returned to the yard quietly.
"Disciple, have you practiced swordsmanship well in the past few days since Master left?"
Tang Du was practicing sword in the yard. Facing the sunlight, his face was flushed and some beads of sweat appeared on his head.
He seemed like a different person compared to his previous listless look.
Su Weiyun said: "You seem to be in good spirits."
Tang Du chuckled and said, "I have learned the first five moves of the Thirteen Deadly Swords. Master, please teach me the rest of the swordsmanship."
Su Weiyun asked, "Oh? You can do it so soon?"
Tang Du said sincerely, "During the few days when Master was away, I practiced day and night, and sometimes even practiced swordsmanship several times at night. How could I not make rapid progress?!"
Su Weiyun said thoughtfully: "You said you practice sword at night, I believe that."
Tang Du didn't hear the hidden meaning of Su Weiyun's words. He just smiled and said, "Master, why don't you just give me the sword manual? This way, I can figure it out by myself when you are not around."
The sword manual of the Thirteen Deadly Swords is indeed still in Su Weiyun's hands.
He gave away the secret manuals of "Dharma Sword Technique", "Kuro Rong Zen Kung Fu" and even "Yi Jin Jing" to the right people, but he had no intention of giving "Thirteen Deadly Swords" to anyone.
Because this sword technique is too murderous and demonic, it should not be taught to outsiders lightly.
However, Su Weiyun thought for a while and sighed, "I will give you the sword manual, but you must not show it to others. This is my only request. Do you understand?"
Tang Du looked at Su Weiyun eagerly, and finally took the sword manual and said, "I understand, I understand. I will keep it in mind!"
"By the way, let me ask you another question, and you answer me truthfully."
Tang Du flipped open the sword manual, overjoyed, and said, "Master, just ask."
"If Lin Xian'er and I fall into the water at the same time, who will you save first?"
Tang Du's face froze and his hand that was turning the pages of the book suddenly stopped.
