After arriving in the capital, Lin Zhongtian first found a teahouse to inquire about the news.
Perhaps because Chongzhen was vigorously eliminating the eunuch party in the court, no one in Beijing dared to discuss the court and current affairs during the day, so the hottest news in the teahouse was naturally the rumors in the underworld.
The most discussed issue was the Skeleton Demon Fu Qingyun and the Liu family massacre.
Especially the reward of one thousand and two taels of gold, which made people in the teahouse talk about it with great relish.
After listening for a while, Lin Zhongtian felt more and more bored.
These people believe everything they hear. They seem to know a lot, but in fact they know nothing. They are just like the keyboard warriors on the Internet in later generations.
Just as Lin Zhongtian stood up and was about to pay for the tea and leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of someone at the door of the restaurant opposite.
The man wore a black scarf and a blue-black short shirt with narrow sleeves. There was a white circle on his chest with the word "prison" written in it. It was exactly the classic outfit of a jailer in the prison in Lin Zhongtian's impression.
At this moment, the jailer was standing at the door of the restaurant, looking inside the restaurant from time to time, looking a little impatient.
Seeing this scene, Lin Zhongtian's eyes lit up. He sat back again and looked at the restaurant opposite with interest.
I saw a short and fat man trotting out of the restaurant carrying two jars of wine. Facing the jailer's impatient scolding, the man first apologized with a smile on his face, then handed the two jars of wine to the jailer and stretched out his other hand as if asking for money for the wine.
The jailer took the rope that tied the two jars of wine and tried to get them twice, but failed. He couldn't help but laugh in anger and started kicking. After kicking for a while, he saw that the short and fat man still didn't let go, so he could only curse at him and throw a silver ingot to him.
After receiving the silver, the man delivered the goods readily, turned around and walked into the restaurant happily.
The jailer rolled his eyes, still cursing, and turned and walked in a certain direction.
Seeing this, Lin Zhongtian's expression changed. He immediately paid for the tea, got up and went out, following the jailer.
After about five minutes, Lin Zhongtian stopped.
It was not because the jailer had arrived at the Sky Prison, but because he walked into a strange street.
This street seems to have many shops and is very busy, but if you look closely, there is not a single normal person on the entire street. The people walking back and forth seem to be numerous, but they are actually the same group of people.
Lin Zhongtian only stayed for a while before he discovered the clue.
Obviously, this street was created by a group of prison guards in disguise.
But at the same time, this also shows that Lin Zhongtian has found the right direction, and the legendary sky prison should be nearby.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhongtian glanced at the back of the jailer in front of him, raised the corner of his mouth, and turned away.
That night, darkness enveloped the capital city. In the ink-like darkness, only a few dim lights were lit on the streets. They were the lanterns held up by the city guards who were patrolling the streets in the middle of the night.
On the rooftop of a street, a dark shadow squatted there quietly, looking at the two soldiers patrolling the street below.
One of the soldiers, who was tall and thin and looked relatively young, shrank his shoulders and could not help but say, "Master Ma, it's so cold today! How comfortable it would be if we could have a bowl of hot noodles right now!"
"You kid still want to eat noodles?" The older soldier next to him snorted coldly and whispered, "In this capital city, there are only two types of people who dare to walk on the street after midnight, except for the night watchmen..."
Hearing the conversation between the two, the black shadow who was about to leave suddenly froze, then turned his head abruptly, looking at the city guard on the street below with strange eyes.
This black shadow was Lin Zhongtian who was planning to sneak into the Heavenly Prison at night.
The conversation between the two city guards instantly reminded him of a martial arts movie.
Looking at the soldier who was still opening his mouth to speak, Lin Zhongtian spoke silently and said the following words before him.
"One possibility is that we are unlucky enough to be drawn to patrol the city."
"One possibility is that we are unlucky enough to be drawn to patrol the city."
"There is another way..." Lin Zhongtian turned his head and looked at the alley next to him.
"There is another way..." The soldier called Ma Ye paused, glanced at the dark shadow in the alley next to him, put his right hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist with a vigilant look, and slowly drew out the knife.
"come out!"
Master Ma shouted loudly and stretched the long knife in his hand forward.
Suddenly, a precious sword with cloud patterns engraved on the blade was placed on his blade.
Master Ma was startled and took a closer look in the light of the lantern. The sword was actually the legendary Embroidered Spring Sword, and the person holding the sword was none other than the Jinyiwei dressed in a Feiyu suit.
"It's the Royal Guards!"
Ma Ye was so frightened that he didn't even care about the lantern and hurriedly pulled his companions away from there.
The Jinyiwei smiled slightly, did not embarrass the two soldiers, and walked out of the alley slowly with the Embroidered Spring Sword in hand.
Lin Zhongtian stood on the roof of the high attic, looking at the Jinyiwei below with a complicated and emotional look.
If he remembered correctly, this person should be Shen Lian, the protagonist of the two-part "Asian Blade" series.
I never expected that it has been several months and he has only just discovered that this is the world of "The Blade of the Assassin".
No wonder he always felt that something was wrong with this world. Many details were different from his impression of the late Ming Dynasty.
Now he finally understood that this was the world of the movie "The Blade Strikes"!
And he had been hanging around in the outside world for so long, yet he happened to encounter the beginning of the movie.
Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?
Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows and followed Shen Lian's gaze to the mansion in the front right. The plaque on it clearly read "Chen Mansion".
This should be the scene at the beginning of the movie where Shen Lian captures the eunuch Xu Xianchun.
Lin Zhongtian was not interested in this plot.
But he vaguely remembered that after Xu Xianchun was captured, a long whistle was heard from the alley next to him. When Shen Lian's sworn brother Jin Yichuan heard the sound, his face changed.
Obviously, this whistle was the secret signal from Jin Yichuan's senior brother Ding Xiu.
After hearing the secret signal from his senior brother, Jin Yichuan borrowed some money from his second brother Shen Lian alone, and then went to see his senior brother alone.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lin Zhongtian's face.
If he were to ask which character in Sword of Imitation Spring interested him the most, it would naturally be Ding Xiu, the ceiling of Sword of Imitation Spring's combat power, whose name is very smooth and whose nickname is Jiaqian Jushi!
If it was for him, it wouldn't be unacceptable to postpone the trip to the prison at night.
Without any hesitation, Lin Zhongtian quietly jumped onto the roof of Chen's mansion, ready to catch up with the group of Jinyiwei.
What happened next was just like the plot of the movie that Lin Zhongtian remembered. Shen Lian led his team into the Chen residence, threatened Chen's wife, daughter and family members, and forced them to reveal the location of Xu Xianchun's escape. Then, he joined forces with his eldest brother Lu Jianxing and his third brother Jin Yichuan to capture Xu Xianchun in a dark alley.
The fighting scenes that took place during the film were something Lin Zhongtian had enjoyed watching when he was watching a movie in his previous life.
But for him now, it is really not worth mentioning.
After all, the difference in speed and strength is too big.
No matter whether it was Shen Lian or Jin Yichuan's movements, in Lin Zhongtian's eyes they all looked like slow motion with many flaws.
Speaking of this, I have to mention that since coming to this world, Lin Zhongtian has never seriously learned martial arts.
All he had were the martial arts experience and memories gained from the minds of the people he killed.
This kind of martial arts memory is not complete, but the quantity is enough. After a long period of accumulation, Lin Zhongtian is now considered a martial arts expert. He is definitely not just a martial arts idiot who relies on strength and speed to crush other martial artists.
