In a dark place, in the cold hall, there are shadows and shadows, mysterious and unpredictable.
Several Wu family attendants have completed their reports.
The complete destruction of the Wu family's "pleasure island" was no small matter, or it could be said that this was the first time that the family had its island destroyed.
In the middle of the hall is a majestic bone throne.
Wu Ji is wearing a Houtu mask and is sitting on the seat, holding her chin.
During this period of time, she has taken two major underground forces south of the river under her command.
That is, the Twelve Phases of the Hidden Blade and the Thousand and Eight Towers of Blood Rain.
The Twelve Phases of the Hidden Blade is an assassin organization. This organization has powerful information collection capabilities. It is so powerful that they never appear in front of the world, and no one knows how to place orders with them.
If they feel that you need to kill someone, and they can help you kill that person, they will leave a letter next to you. This letter will suddenly appear in your pocket, under your pillow, or on your desk.
The letter is easy to read. There is a gray skull with crossed swords in the lower right corner, as well as the payment they have written in advance. If you want, you just need to press the fingerprint and put it in place.
All that's left is to prepare to pay.
Of course, you can also not accept the proposal of this letter, then the result is simple, your opponent will receive the same letter, and then you will die.
Blood Rain Thousand and Eighth Floor is a killer organization. This organization is notorious.
Just because this organization doesn't care about good or evil, it only cares about money,
The famous saying passed down from ancient times in the building is "Every head has a price".
As long as the money or remuneration is appropriate, even your own parents can torture and kill you.
What's even more outrageous is that this organization actually implements a "temporary task system for peripheral personnel." In other words, no matter who is short of money, they can go to the Blood Rain Building to take orders, and then conceal their identity to kill people.
There have been many decent forces in the world who have tried to encircle and suppress the Blood Rain Tower, but they all ended in the death of the leader, and the identity of the murderer is still unknown.
Such a powerful force,
It was impossible to be conquered so quickly.
But the aristocratic family and these forces are not on the same level at all.
The appearance of Wu Ji and the cooperation of the Wu family's forces directly tore apart all their defense lines.
Half an hour later.
A black dove flapped its wings and flew into the hall.
Wu Ji took off the letter tied to the pigeon's leg and looked at it. Suddenly she pinched it with her palm, and the letter quickly disappeared as if it was nibbled by countless transparent little mouths.
"Seventh brother, you have been depressed for so long and you are finally ready to let go
However, the world has changed, and your eleventh realm is no longer unique.
Fourth sister has ignored you before, so this time she will have some fun with you. "
suddenly,
The black pigeon screamed.
Wu Ji had obviously let go of her hand, but the black pigeon still couldn't fly out. It seemed to be dragged by a strange force and couldn't take off.
Then starting from the claws, the entire body disappeared bit by bit, as if a hungry invisible evil ghost was eating its body without even a drop of blood being spilled.
…
…
It's not that Xia Ji hasn't thought about recruiting forces.
But what's the use
There is no use except wasting your time.
Is there any power that can rival the noble family
Can he fight with the Supreme Shangdian and Yongsheng Pavilion whom he has not yet met
No, he couldn't see any hope.
He put on a black cloak, covering his face above the bridge of his nose, and walked alone in the spring rain in Jiangnan.
The rain soaked his clothes, but he didn't care.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going, but he will only be alone.
He believed that Su Tian was sincere to him now,
But what about the future
He and Su Tian had only known each other for a few months, but he lived for more than 10,000 years.
Along the way, he sensed several people in the world who were looking for the whereabouts of King Shenwu. Those people in the world were careful in their words, clever in their passwords, and flawless in their actions, but he was no longer on the same level as these people.
No matter how hard those people searched, they could not find him.
Xia Ji ordered a pot of fine wine and a few side dishes at the Jiangnan Chunhua Qiuyue restaurant, and listened to the people in the restaurant telling anecdotes about the world.
These anecdotes may be big events to people in the world, such as the birth of a certain treasure, the daughter of a certain family competing for a bride, or the change of heavenly rankings, but to him, they are all big things. .
The realm is high,
Naturally, it is far away from the human world.
And if one day I am so tall that no one can catch me,
Then, everyone will be far away from themselves.
The topics they talk about are no longer interesting to me.
Their joy, anger, sorrow, and joy feel like drizzle to themselves, and they are not tempted at all.
This is also the reason why he does not want to find a "Taoist companion".
Can Taoist companions keep up with him and be at the same level of life as him
Do the Taoist couple and him really fall in love with each other and have absolute trust in each other
Su Tian may be able to satisfy the first point, but not the second.
An Rongrong may be able to satisfy the second point, but not the first.
"Waiter, another bowl of wontons."
"Well done, sir."
Soon, steaming wontons were served again.
The wontons have more skin and less meat.
It's quite delicious,
But I only ate a few pills.
The leather contract in his mind suddenly reacted.
This time it's not Hu Xian'er,
But Ji Xuan.
The message came from the leather scroll contract: "Teacher, the national master of the Zhou family has appeared, claiming to be Shifang Zun. He came to see me once, but he claimed that he was looking for the immortal and fairy of Jinghu Lake, but he didn't meet him and left. But I know he is the national master."
"How did you do it?"
"I invited him into the village, and then chatted with him for a few words. He seemed quite satisfied. Don't worry, teacher, I will tell you as soon as there is news."
The information on the leather scroll contract was interrupted, and the new king, who was always preparing for treason, had completed his intelligence feedback.
Xia Ji knew that since the national master appeared on the scene, it meant that the family's integration of Jianghu's bright side had begun.
The Yinjun integrates the underground world, and the National Master integrates the Jianghu.
No matter what you do, you will immediately confront them.
I ate a few more wontons.
There is another movement in the leather scroll contract.
This time it was Hu Xianer.
"The old Taoist Mai who came to look for the Queen last year is here again. He claims to be the ancestor of the Jingming Sect and says he will take the Queen to the Cave Heaven Paradise to practice Taoism and seek immortality.
If the Queen doesn't go, the old man must take the Queen away. If she doesn't leave, a disaster will come. "
Xia Ji remembered that this old Taoist had contributed a golden skill bead [Jingming Taoist Technique], which allowed him to master many Taoist techniques. There must be power behind him, and maybe there was an extraordinary power inherited from ancient times.
I have always wanted to find these extraordinary forces, but I have no way to get in.
According to Su Tian, these forces are all "invincible in their own territory". If there is no guide and they enter by force, they are simply seeking death.
What's more, the location of these forces is almost a mystery.
If you can enter this place, you can definitely gain something.
The situation is relatively calm now, so I have to seize every opportunity to "grow" quickly.
"wait me back."
After Xia Ji finished speaking, he hurriedly ate the wontons, then found a hiding place and directly pressed the "Grudge Picture", and his figure disappeared immediately.
In a messy storage room in a palace in the imperial capital,
air fluctuations,
Then, a figure appeared.
Xia Ji looked at the "Grudge Diagram". After using it twice in just a few days, the magic weapon had appeared "cracked". It seemed that it could no longer be used in a short period of time, and the time to warm it up would be Extremely long, he put away the magical weapon at will, wrapped himself in the python robe again, and walked towards the palace.
…
At this time, the palace.
The court has already retreated,
In the empty hall,
The old Taoist Mai Yi held the Li stick and looked up at the Queen on the throne with a calm expression.
Xia Xiaosu's eyebrows were calm, and her pale and petite body was wrapped in a golden dragon robe. She said, "Thank you, Master, but I am not determined to practice Taoism."
The old Taoist said: "The poor Taoist can see it, so he knows it.
But Pindao still has to take you away, because this is not a place to stay for a long time. "
He took two steps forward and decided to take him away by force.
Two waitresses immediately came out to stop him.
The old Taoist smiled and breathed out gently,
Suddenly, the airflow in the palace became chaotic.
The two Queen's attendants who had reached the ninth level were immediately blown away by the air current.
The two knew they were no match, but they still drew their swords and slowly retreated as the veteran advanced.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared behind Xia Xiaosu.
Hu Xianer grasped the back of the dragon chair with both hands, then propped up her body and raised her feet in the air, so as to show the majesty of the "mysterious existence behind the queen".
Her whole body was bathed in darkness, and all light disappeared here.
Xia Xiaosu leaned back slightly: "Master, Gu advises you not to be impulsive. You can't take Gu away from the palace. But Gu is very curious, why do you have to take Gu to practice Taoism?"
The old man calmed down and turned his eyes slightly. At some point, the entire palace hall had become dark, and there seemed to be many pairs of eyes staring at him in the darkness.
And white eagles came from the sky one after another, as if resting, and landed on the glazed tiles of the palace or the corners of the Moon Tower.
In addition, the figure of the Queen on the throne is also virtual and real.
If you are here, if you are not here,
The old Taoist recognizes that this is a clever Confucian formation.
So, he paused and suddenly softly chanted: "A crane returns home after a thousand years from the Huabiao, with elixir on its head and snow as its clothes. People listen to the fairy words of the stars, but they flutter their wings and fly towards the five clouds."
After reading it, the old Taoist said: "Hundreds of years and thousands of years, vicissitudes of the sea, time changes, and time flies endlessly. Why does the queen have to be ups and downs in the world for these decades
A wise king will appear in the world and create a new dynasty for thousands of years.
This world is not your world, Queen, but your disaster.
The good you want to practice may not be the evil that others will block your way in the future, so why bother doing it
It's better to follow the old path and go back to the mountain, cultivate to become an immortal, and live happily. Why waste your efforts and do meaningless things
Now, when you look at it from the perspective of an old Taoist, it feels like your energy and spirit have been suppressed, like a pearl covered in dust, unable to shine. "
His words were so contagious that Xia Xiaosu was even stunned for a moment.
yes…
For countless years in this world, even if I try hard to be the queen, I can only protect one place.
But now that the family is in charge behind the scenes, starting a new dynasty is the best approach for them.
Moreover, now that the fire disaster is coming from the west, the northern imperial capital is bearing the brunt. Does all of his current actions have any meaning
It's better to follow the Taoist to practice in the mountains. You may not be able to achieve immortality, but you can also follow in the footsteps of your elder brother. Instead of being brothers and sisters for decades, you can be relatives for hundreds of thousands of years.
What are you insisting on
Confusion flashed in her eyes.
Suddenly, a sound that contained thunder but was as quiet as still water came from outside.
"Because you are Xia Xiaosu."
The sound was like a long dragon, which immediately dispersed the atmosphere brewing in the old Taoist's words, and also awakened the Queen.
In fact, this is not an illusion, but the truth. However, everyone has their own persistence and their own opportunities. If you give up your persistence because of a word, no matter what the future path is, it will be wrong after all.
If Xia Xiaosu followed the old path at this time, it would be denying everything he had lived since childhood.
If a person has no past, how can he have a future
"Because you are my sister."
The voice came with a figure,
The door of Jinluan Palace is wide open,
The sun pierced everything in it.
Many maids hurriedly knelt down to the man walking outside the door and said respectfully: "See King Shenwu."
The old man narrowed his eyes but did not turn around.
Xia Jidao: "What do you think of me, Old Taoist?"
The old Taoist closed his eyes and felt it, and then smiled bitterly. He said that Xia Xiaosu was "a pearl covered in dust, unable to shine brightly." At this time, the Shenwu King was like a scorching sun, and his energy and energy had exceeded the extreme, making it impossible for people to look at him.
Before, he had thought of taking the Queen away by force, but since Xia Ji came, he had given up this idea.
He sighed softly: "It's the old man who has no chance, and it's also the queen who has no chance. Let's just say goodbye."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to take a look at what the world-famous Shenwu King looked like.
However, there was no one standing behind him.
The old Taoist was stunned for a moment, looking shocked.
The aura turned out to be just a condensed shadow of the aura, and he retreated.
No wonder he is ranked as the number one odd number by the aristocratic family.
The old Taoist walked out of the palace, and Xia Xiaosu did not stop him. After all, the old Taoist actually had no ill intentions towards her.
She stared blankly at the dissipated shadow in front of the door, feeling a strange sadness in her heart.
It seems that he is getting further and further away from his brother.
That hateful black dragon happened to take away his only opportunity to become stronger - the Heavenly Demon Transformation.
…
After Lao Dao left the palace, Xia Ji followed him directly.
He directly activated [Nanhua Liuchao - Hidden Heaven in the Field] and put all the power into his heart.
His aura was completely hidden, just like a mortal. Even if the ancestor stood in front of him, it would be impossible to detect anything unusual about him without looking carefully, let alone an expert.
When Lao Tao left the city, he also left the city.
While walking, the leather scroll contract suddenly made a sound again.
It's Hu Xian'er.
"Master, your mother asked you why you just came back and then disappeared?"
"Busy."
"Your mother asked you if you would come back for dinner tonight?"
Xia Ji scanned the surrounding barren mountains and ridges, "No."
after awhile.
Hu Xianer suddenly sent another message: "Your mother is asking me who I am and why I can talk to you on the phone? Master, what is a phone call?"
Xia Ji:…
Hu Xianer: "Your mother asked me why I only have one meter..."
Xia Ji:…
Hu Xian'er: "Your mother said she also wanted a magic weapon for long-distance calls."
Xia Ji:…
It's better not to let my mother know about things like the leather scroll contract. After all, it's a secret.
After thinking for a while, he really couldn't explain it to his mother, so Xia Ji responded: "Don't let my mother see you."
Hu Xianer said "Oh" and then interrupted the chat.
Xia Ji looked ahead, and saw that the old man was still on his way, getting faster and faster. Like a gust of wind, he followed easily.
