Chapter 436: Infiltration Under the Night

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

Lu Xia's eyesight and observation ability are already good, especially after comprehending [Transparent World], his observation ability has been enhanced to an almost terrifying level. When using [Transparent World], the other party's subtle physical reactions There was no way to avoid his observation.

Although Yagyu Taimashou Muneki's heartbeat speed only accelerated for a moment and then returned to calm, Ruka still keenly captured the acceleration of his heartbeat at that moment.

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

In other words, this person took the initiative to slow down his heart rate.

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

Liu Xia narrowed her eyes slightly and lowered her gaze, "It can't be love at first sight...and if it's love at first sight, my charm has risen to this level, but her face doesn't change when she sees me, which is also strange."

After becoming the Ghost King, Liu Xia's charm has reached the point where any creature can be moved by it regardless of gender or race. If he walks on the street with [Transparent World], he will most likely see all the passers-by facing him. His heart beat so fast that even animals might stare at him in a daze.

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

"This guy is really weird."

Although Liu Xia was thinking this in his heart, he still didn't make any extraordinary move on the surface. He suppressed the suspicion in his heart and stopped looking at the other party.

And below, Yagyu Munenomi glanced at Musashi, then looked away calmly, then rode his horse and led the army behind him to leave this long street and headed towards the castle tower.

In the hotel loft.

"Ugh...!"

Musashi didn't know when he buried his head in front of the window, covering his face with his hands. He didn't know what he was thinking of. He looked like an ostrich saying "You can't see me, you can't see me", and the words from his throat sounded like black history. The humiliating whimper of being exposed.

"You know him?"

Liu Xia looked at Musashi, his eyes full of inquiry.

"No, I can't say we know each other..."

Musashi raised his head from the window, and as expected, there was an awkward look on his face, as if he was at a loss what to do, "When I traveled to a certain place before, I fought against that old man... But it should be other characters in different worlds, right? That's right. , not me, not me!”

"Hmm... Could it be that Musashi kissed you and took the initiative to provoke others, and then you were cleaned up completely?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka pondered Musashi's character and made such a guess with some uncertainty.

"What can I do? He is a real swordsman! Ugh...! That's enough, don't remind me of this thing again, it's so shameful!"

Musashi put his head in his hands, blocked his ears, and then squatted directly in the corner, looking ashamed, with a blush on his face.

I saw that Lie Xinxi took the initiative to challenge others, but was defeated by them in two or two. It was a shame that he was able to escape with his life by triggering his uncontrolled shuttle ability on the way. How could he explain this?

It was simply a public execution.

The eyes of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Hohoin Inshun looking at Musashi also became funny.

Only Liu Xia, after hearing what Musashi said, his whole body could not help but stagnate slightly.

Juggernaut?

A swordsman above all swordsmen?

That Yagyu Muneki?

"Chance.

"

This thought suddenly flashed through Liu Xia's mind.

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

…………

In order to ensure that they could 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 at night they returned to the hotel to rest.

In order to avoid putting too much burden on Fujimaru Ritsuka, Hohoin Yinshun decided to stay in the hotel and save his magic power by minimizing going out. He handed over the intelligence work to Fuma Kotaro. What is the ability of ninjas in this area? It's better than a monk like him.

So, the night of this day came quickly.

Everyone returned to the hotel, exchanged information, and after dinner, they went back to their rooms, took a shower and went to sleep.

At midnight, a dark figure climbed out of the hotel window, fell to the ground silently, without disturbing anyone, and then quickly disappeared into the shadows.

Castle tower.

After nightfall, 90% of the rooms here extinguished the oil lamps early, and the general manager, daughter, servants, etc. also fell asleep. Only two teams of samurai were patrolling outside.

Through the [Transformation] skill, Luca transformed into a tall and slender young man, wearing black cloth clothes. With her super advanced skills of concealing her aura and body shape, she hid from the patrolling samurai and sneaked into the castle tower. middle.

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

It was a dojo.

It was a dojo used by Matsudaira Shitashou and his samurai to practice swordsmanship.

However, because a distinguished guest came today, the warriors had no choice but to retreat from the dojo and give the dojo to this new guest.

The silver-haired old man, who was nearly seventy years old but still very energetic, was sitting very upright in the center of the dojo. He was wearing the same gray-black simple samurai uniform as during the day, and there was a sheathed sword in front of him.

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

This is an act called "zazen".

It can help Zen practitioners understand their original mind, get rid of inner demons, and return the inner mind affected by the hustle and bustle of the world to the peaceful state of "originally nothing."

The Shinin-ryu swordsmanship inherited from the Yagyu family requires a very high level of mind, and the way to train the mind is to practice Zen. Through meditation, the mind can return to calmness. Only after training the mind to the extreme can one understand the supreme power of the Shinin-ryu. Mysteries.

This is a very typical swordsman.

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

At a certain moment, he suddenly frowned.

Then he opened his eyes and looked around the dojo.

"It seems that the security of this castle tower is very problematic, and a thief actually got into it."

He stood up from the ground, the calm expression on his face remained unchanged, but his eyes became alert, looking around, trying to find the source of the uneasiness in his heart.
