King of Assassins

"King of Assassins ()"

A locust tree more than ten feet tall stands on one side of the official road, surrounded by grass and vines, and it is a plain.

This locust tree also looks taller and taller.

On the side of the locust tree facing away from the official road, there are five tree holes growing on the tree, which look like human facial features.

Gao Xuan came flying down the official road with Yuan Bao. The two of them were faster than a Mercedes-Benz and a BMW, but their bodies didn't move at all. In fact, the armored horse was supporting the two of them.

Jia Ma is just a description, it does not really look like a horse, it is just a kind of cloud that can move quickly.

For example, those gods with advanced cultivation have their feet on the auspicious clouds, which are actually armored horses. It's just that the immortals are highly skilled in cultivation, and their armored horses can fly into the sky and escape from the earth.

The armored horse used by Gao Xuan could only support the two of them on the ground, and the gathering clouds were almost invisible.

That's it, the speed of a horse is still two to three hundred kilometers per hour when galloping at full speed. And can overcome most obstacles. superb.

After Gao Xuan established the foundation, he refined the Jiuyue robe. In fact, the robe contained a method of geomagnetic magic. This spell is faster, but it consumes too much, and he can't use it for a long time.

It's even more difficult to bring ingots with you, so you can only use armored horses.

Gao Xuan took Yuanbao directly to the hole of the big locust tree. He knocked on the big tree three times, and the hole of the big locust tree, which was like an eye, flashed two lights, as if he glanced at the two of them.

Then the tree hole of the big locust tree opened wide like a mouth.

Gao Xuan took out a low-grade spiritual stone from his sleeve and went directly to the tree hole that looked like a big mouth.

A spiritual stone was swallowed up by a locust tree in the blink of an eye. After a pause, a door-like gap opened in the huge tree, and it was dark inside.

Yuan Bao looked a little guilty: "Is it so dark in here?"

"It's okay, it's very bright inside."

Gao Xuan dragged Yuan Bao into the crack, and his eyesight went dark and then lit up.

Yuan Bao looked again and found that she and Gao Xuan had arrived at a long street.

Along this long street paved with bluestones, there are various merchants and shops on both sides. There are also various stalls on the long street selling everything.

The long street was crowded with people, and it looked extremely lively.

"So many people!"

It was the first time Yuan Bao came here, and everything she saw was new. Her little mind was wandering back and forth, and her eyes were a little tired.

"Three sects and six sects built a ghost market together. It is open all day on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. It is usually open at midnight and closed at Yin time."

Gao Xuan has been here once with his master and knows some about the ghost market, so he will patiently introduce Yuan Bao to it.

"Three sects and six sects? Is there our Five Elements Sect?" Yuan Bao asked curiously.

"Yes, the Five Elements Sect was once a large sect after all."

Gao Xuan said and gently knocked Yuan Bao on the head, "When you go out, don't be afraid when something happens. Don't lose the prestige of my door."

Yuan Bao covered his forehead and asked with some confusion: "Others have to tell me not to cause trouble. Senior brother, it's weird for you to say that."

"What are you afraid of? Your senior brother has achieved some magic. He can sweep through these guys without any problem."

Gao Xuan boasted a few words proudly, and then said: "You are not allowed to take action in the ghost market. This is a rule set by the three sects and six sects. Anyone who takes action here is going against the three sects and six sects. Don't be afraid."

Yuan Bao suddenly realized that no wonder his senior brother was so confident.

Gao Xuan saw the relief on Yuan Bao's face, and he added: "Although you can't do anything, there are many scammers here. Don't be fooled."

The ghost market is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes, and scammers are the most common in this kind of place.

Cultivation is a difficult and complicated process.

Spells, magic weapons, elixirs, rare treasures, who dares to claim to know them all?

Even those who are strong in the golden elixir can only specialize in one or two disciplines, and they can never know everything.

So in this ghost market, you will be deceived if you are not careful.

Gao Xuan reminded Yuan Bao: "One word, quit being greedy. Two words, don't promise anyone or anything."

Yuan Bao was stunned for a moment by Gao Xuan's words. She grabbed Gao Xuan's sleeves and said, "I will follow my senior brother and won't go anywhere."

“Safety is still guaranteed here.

I'm going to Wanbaozhai to order a saddle rack. You don’t need to follow me, just wander around by yourself..."

Gao Xuan warned again: "Keep my words in mind and you'll be fine."

Yuan Bao was a little moved. It was too lively here. She thought for a moment and said, "Then why are you looking for me, senior brother?"

"Just walk around this long street and don't leave. I'll find you when I'm done. Or if you get tired of playing, come to Wanbaozhai to find me. It's the most impressive wooden building in the middle of the long street."

Gao Xuan said again: "Don't eat the food randomly. Wait until I come back to take you to eat delicious food."

Yuanbao jumped away and ran away, while Gao Xuan went to Wanbaozhai.

Wanbaozhai has a total of three floors, with high cornices and green crystal tiles shining brightly in the sun, which is really beautiful.

Gao Xuan came to the gate. Although he looked young, he was handsome and handsome, and his Xuanhuang Taoist robe was quite impressive. Very atmospheric.

The most important thing for a waiter is his eyesight. As soon as this man saw Gao Xuan's extraordinary aura, he hurriedly came over to chat.

"Taoist Master, please come in quickly."

The clerk nodded and bowed, "What do you need? Our store has everything you need, just say..."

This is a bit big talk, but man, it’s normal to talk big words to attract customers.

This guy has just practiced qi, and his cultivation is shallow, not much better than ordinary people.

Of course, if he really had talent, he wouldn't be here as a buddy.

After all, it is a job of nodding and smiling, and even those with a little bit of cultivation would not bother to do it.

Gao Xuan said: "I heard that your shop is very good at making leather goods. I want to make a set of saddles."

"Okay, come with me. Master Wang from our store happens to be here. Just talk to him..."

Seeing Gao Xuan's extraordinary aura, the waiter directly led Gao Xuan to Master Wang.

Master Wang is on the second floor and has a separate room. He didn't get up when he saw Gao Xuan coming in, he just nodded slightly.

The waiter served the tea respectfully, then quietly went out and closed the door.

Master Wang looks very young. His hair is gray, but his eyes are bright. It should be foundation building cultivation.

Don't blame him for being so arrogant. Those who build the foundation have truly entered the avenue of cultivation. When you meet someone you have nothing to do with, you can just call them Taoist friends.

The road is long, but your high level of cultivation is just one step ahead. If there is no relationship, the foundation-building cultivator is qualified to be called fellow Taoist.

Gao Xuan sat down opposite the old man: "Master Wang, I want to make a saddle. I mainly acquired a new tiger demon as a mount..."

Gao Xuan briefly introduced the situation and then stated his requirements: "The saddle should be simpler in style, but it should be able to withstand external impacts and be able to shrink as the tiger's body grows..."

Master Wang glanced at Gao Xuan, this man surrendered the tiger demon at a young age? The elders of the sect must have helped.

The tiger monster is a monster with strong Yang energy and a cruel and cunning nature. This young man is not afraid of being harmed, but he is afraid that the tiger demon will follow him everywhere to kill people and cause chaos.

When Master Wang thought this way, he felt a little unkind to Gao Xuan. He had reached this position step by step by relying on his own hard work, and he looked down on practitioners like Gao Xuan who relied on their elders.

But business is business. Since this young man is so bold, let's kill him.

"I just collected the skin of a thousand-year-old python. It is not afraid of water, fire, swords, and guns, and can expand and contract at will. Moreover, the tanned saddle is comfortable to ride and can resist poisonous gas and dirt. The black color also goes well with it..."

Master Wang has been making leather goods for two hundred years. Even if his cultivation is not high, he is still a master in this industry.

After his introduction, Gao Xuan was moved, "How many spirit stones?"

The old man held out three fingers: "Not much, three thousand low-grade spiritual stones."

Master Wang said it easily, but Gao Xuan, who was drinking tea, almost spat out a mouthful of water.

They cultivate the spiritual fields for a year, and the corn crystal rice they produce only sells for a thousand low-grade spiritual stones.

Although the sect doesn't consume much, it consumes at least five to six hundred low-grade spiritual stones in a year.

Gao Xuan's master lived a very frugal life and left Gao Xuan more than 6,000 low-grade crystals.

For such a small sect, it is already a huge fortune.

Master Wang opened his mouth and asked for three thousand low-grade spiritual stones. It was like stabbing Gao Xuan's main artery with a knife.

Gao Xuan didn't want to bargain anymore. The price was ten times different from what he expected, so there was no point in bargaining.

He stood up and cupped his hands coolly: "Excuse me." After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation.

Master Wang was a little confused. What's going on with this guy?

Gao Xuan shook his head when he came out of the room. This place really bullied customers and treated him like a fat sheep. It was unbearable.

Gao Xuan went down to the first floor and happened to meet the waiter who ushered him in. The waiter greeted him warmly: "Taoist priest, please go, go slowly."

A group of young people followed the guy in. The leader was in his thirties, with a thin build, skin as dry and hard as dead wood, and eyes as green as a wolf.

There was a group of people behind this man, most of whom were in their early twenties, and all dressed in very different styles. All of them are full of energy and full of energy.

The most eye-catching one is the female monk wearing a light yellow robe. She has eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like autumn water. She is very beautiful and elegant.

The leader glanced at Gao Xuan and asked a little uncertainly: "Gao Xuan?"

Gao Xuan nodded: "Senior Brother Yang Wanchun, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Yang Wanchun, the disciple of the head of the Qingmu Sect, met Gao Xuan in the ghost market two years ago. Because of Gao Xuan's pure cultivation at a young age, the head of the Qingmu Sect praised him and asked Yang Wanchun to learn more from Gao Xuan.

Originally Yang Wanchun didn't like Gao Xuan, because he was criticized by Tong, which made him feel depressed.

When he saw Gao Xuan again, he was a little afraid to recognize him.

Two years ago, Gao Xuan was still full of youth, just a little kid who hadn't grown up yet. That's why he was so annoyed by Master's comparison.

Now Gao Xuan is already a handsome and graceful young man. The free and easy demeanor between his eyebrows is even more of an immortal demeanor.

Facing such an outstanding Gao Xuan, Yang Wanchun was a little afraid to recognize him. But he knew the Jiuyue robe, and saw nine different "mountain" characters embroidered in dark gold on the silk ribbon around the waist of the robe. I know this is the Jiuyue robe.

The Jiuyue robe is the most precious treasure of the Houtu Sect and cannot fall into the hands of outsiders. Only then did Yang Wanchun recognize Gao Xuan.

After hearing the conversation between the two, a group of people knew that Yang Wanchun and Gao Xuan knew each other.

Some people couldn't help but ask: "Senior Brother Yang, who is this?"

Yang Wanchun said calmly: "A disciple of the Houtu Sect. After all, he is also my junior brother."

He thought for a moment and then asked: "I heard that Uncle Wan is dead, right?"

The Uncle Wan mentioned by Yang Wanchun is Wan Li Pingyun, also known as Master Gao Xuan.

Yang Wanchun's question was very impolite, and it also showed that this person was vulgar. Gao Xuan had no interest in arguing with such people, so he replied: "My master has passed away."

"oh."

Yang Wanchun said: "There are only two people left in Houtu Sect."

He said with some humor: "This year's competition, your Houtu Sect should merge with us directly. My master is generous and cannot let you go hungry."

Following people like Yang Wanchun, there were also disciples of the Five Elements Sect and other sects. They were all familiar with Yang Wanchun, so they naturally favored Yang Wanchun. A group of people laughed.

Indeed, the cultivation sect of two people is a joke.

The key to spiritual practice is a wealthy couple, a Dharma ground, both of which are indispensable.

Just two people, where did the money and land come from? Where does the law come from? Where did the couple come from?

You must know that this couple is not a partner, but a comrade who supports each other. To put it bluntly, you need to have enough connections.

Gao Xuan smiled calmly: "Since the sect is passed to me, I will naturally carry it forward. I can only accept your kindness."

The words are not speculative and there is nothing to say.

Gao Xuan was about to turn around and leave when the woman in pale yellow Taoist robes who had been silent suddenly took a few steps to stop Gao Xuan. She said softly: "Fellow Taoist, a group of us are about to join hands to slay the thousand-year-old snake demon. Are you willing, Taoist friend?" Will you come with us to slay demons and restore righteousness?"

Before the woman finished speaking, everyone around her showed displeasure. They looked at Gao Xuan with a bit more evil eyes.
