Eighth Crown

When a person is lying, or is afraid or excited, the body's heart rate and blood flow rate will involuntarily accelerate.

Liu Xia's eyesight and observation skills are not bad, especially after comprehending [Transparent World], his observation power has been enhanced to the point of being terrifying. When using [Transparent World], the other party's subtle body reaction There was no way to avoid his observation.

Although Liu Sheng but Ma Shouzongju's heartbeat speed only accelerated for a moment, and then returned to calm, but Liu Xia still keenly captured his rapid heartbeat at that moment.

Moreover, the reason why his heartbeat slowed down was achieved through the control of his own body from the perspective of his [Transparent World].

In other words, this person is actively slowing down his heartbeat.

"You don't change your face when you face me, but your heart beats suddenly when you face Musashi?"

Liu Xia's eyes narrowed slightly, her eyes lowered, "It's not love at first sight, right... Moreover, if it is love at first sight, my charm has risen to this level, and it is equally strange to see me without changing my face."

After becoming the ghost king, Liu Xia's charm has reached the point where there is no distinction between men and women and races, so that any creature can be moved by it. If he walks on the street with [Transparent World], 80% of the time he will see all passers-by facing him. His heart beat faster, and even animals could stare at him in a daze.

Not to mention that it is difficult to have any feelings at this age, even if Yagyu Soju really fell in love at first sight, the object 80% would not be Musashi.

"This guy is really weird."

Although Liu Xia thought so in his heart, he still did not make outrageous actions on the surface. He suppressed the doubts in his heart and did not focus his eyes on the other party.

And Yagyu Mongju, who was below, looked away from Musashi very plainly, and then rode his horse and left the long street with the army behind him, heading towards the Tianshou Pavilion.

In the attic of the hotel.

"Ugh...!"

Musashi buried his head in front of the window at some point, covering his face with his hands, he didn't know what he was remembering, an ostrich-like appearance of "you can't see me, you can't see me", emitting from his throat like a black history. A whimper of shame like being exposed.

"You know him?"

Ryukka looked at Musashi, and his eyes were full of exploration.

"No, I can't say I know you..."

Musashi raised his head from the window, and there was an embarrassed look on his face, "When I was traveling to a certain place, I fought with that old man... But it should be another character from a different world, right? That's right. , not me, not me!"

"Well... it's not like Musashi kissing you who took the initiative to provoke others, and then was cleaned up to pieces, right?"

Fujimaru Rika thought about Musashi's character, and made such a guess with some uncertainty.

"What can I do, that's a real Juggernaut! Ugh...! Enough, don't remind me of this again, it's too shameful!"

Musashi put his head in his hands, blocked his ears, and then squatted directly in the corner of the wall, looking ashamed and embarrassed, his face was full of blush.

Seeing that Lie Xinxi took the initiative to rush up to provoke others, but was defeated by them three or two times, it was only because of the uncontrollable shuttle ability that was triggered on the way that he could escape his life, how could he tell it!

It's just a public execution.

The eyes of Fujimaru Rika and Baozoin Yinshun looking at Musashi also became funny.

Only Liu Xia, after hearing Musashi's words, the whole person's figure could not help but stagnate slightly.

Juggernaut?

The Sword Saint above the Sword Master?

That Liu Shengzongju?

"Chance."

This thought suddenly flashed through Liu Xia's mind.

He is only one step away from breaking through the realm of the Tao, and there is no reason to miss this opportunity.

…………

In order to ensure that they can obtain information as soon as possible, several people decided to stay in Rustic City for a while.

During the day, everyone went out to inquire about news, and returned to the hotel to rest at night.

In order to prevent too much burden on Fujimaru Rika, Baozoin Yinshun decided to stay in the hotel, save magic power by reducing going out as much as possible, and hand over the work of inquiring information to Fuuma Kotaro. What is the ability of ninjas in this regard? He is also stronger than a monk.

So, the night of this day came quickly.

Everyone returned to the hotel, exchanged information, and after dinner, they each went back to their rooms, bathed and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, a dark figure came out of the hotel window, fell silently to the ground without disturbing anyone, and quickly disappeared into the shadows.

Tianshou Pavilion.

After nightfall, 90% of the rooms here have extinguished the oil lamps early, and the chief guard, daughter, servants, etc. have also entered the dreamland, and only two teams of samurai are patrolling outside.

Liu Xia turned into a tall and slender youth through the [Transformation] skill. She was wearing a black cloth made of cloth. With super-advanced skills of concealing her aura and body shape, she concealed the patrolling samurai and sneaked into the castle tower. middle.

Inside the Tianshou Pavilion, even though most of the rooms were plunged into darkness, there was still a light on.

It was a dojo.

It is a dojo used by Matsudaira Somori and his samurai to practice swords.

However, because of the distinguished guest today, the warriors could only retreat from the dojo, leaving the dojo to the new guest.

The silver-haired old man, who is nearly seventy years old but still very energetic, is sitting in the center of the dojo very upright at this moment. He is wearing the same gray-black simple warrior uniform as in the daytime, and in front of him is a scabbard sword.

He silently closed his eyes, sat there motionless, and even kept his breathing as low as possible. The whole person seemed to have fallen asleep, but the sword energy in his whole body was hidden, and he did not relax his vigilance in the slightest. sign.

This is an act called "zazen".

It can help Zen practitioners to clearly understand their original minds, expel their inner demons, and return the hearts affected by the hustle and bustle of the world to the peaceful state of "nothing at all".

The new Yin-ryu swordsmanship passed down by the Liuyu family originally requires a very high level of xinxing, and the way to exercise the xinxing is to practice meditation. Profound meaning.

This is a very typical swordsman.

Not only is his swordsmanship enough to become a benchmark for thousands of swordsmen, but his temperament is also enough to amaze countless people.

At a certain moment, he suddenly frowned.

Then he opened his eyes, and his eyes rolled around in the dojo.

"It seems that the security of the Tianshou Pavilion is very problematic, and a little thief has actually sneaked in."

He stood up from the ground, the calm expression on his face still did not change in the slightest, but his eyes were already vigilant, looking around, trying to find the source of his uneasy heart.
