Taoist master wants to ascend

Chapter 144 The giant in the shadows

Star-catching tower.

Li Yuan frowned slightly.

Naturally, he wanted to stay away from this killer organization with a good reputation. He was a dignified master of the Shenbing Valley, had a family, a career, and martial arts skills. He wanted to be a killer only if he was crazy.

But the boss...

In the drizzle, a man in gray, wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, leaned against the door frame. He didn't hear a response for a long time, so he raised his hand and knocked on the door:

"Shall I leave then?" Zhiwu opened the courtyard door.

Li Yuan held up the hammer and looked at it. The man in gray outside the courtyard gate was of medium build, wearing a fox iron mask, and a black scimitar hanging from his waist.

"Top-grade famous instrument!"

Li Yuan glanced at the scimitar with his peripheral vision, his heart was slightly frightened, but his face was calm, he asked him to come into the house and closed the courtyard door. "Tsk, spirit rat?"

The man in gray glanced at the trembling little mouse in the room: "I heard that spirit rats are the best at hunting for treasures. It seems that Li Zhenzhuan is also one of my kind!"

He blew out the candle and held it in his hand with a smile:

"Linghu million, um, my pseudonym."

Li Yuan's mouth twitched: "Your Excellency is quite frank."

"We can't help it. We have a bad reputation. Once our real name is revealed, it will be very troublesome. We have to be careful." Linghu Baiwan spread his hands and saw Li Yuan's face turned dark, then he patted his forehead:

"Don't worry, Li Zhenchuan. I took the Soul Disturbance Pill before I went out. As soon as the day breaks, I will forget all about today's events." "The Soul Confusion Pill?"

Li Yuan was doubtful.

He had heard of the Chaotic Soul Pill, and knew that taking this pill was like breaking up after drinking, and that you would lose the experience you had while taking it. But who knows whether he ate or not?

"When you enter the building, you will understand that the rules of the building are as big as the sky. Your identity is not worthy of such a big taboo." Linghu Baiwan took off his bamboo hat and revealed his bare head:

"Although Elder Wang has made arrangements, you still need to read the recommendation letter." "What is your identity?"

Li Yuan held the recommendation letter.

Linghu Baiwan took out a bronze medal with a fox face painted on it:

"I don't have anything on me that might expose my identity. This brand can barely be considered one." Li Yuan glanced at it, silently noted it down, and handed over the recommendation letter.

"Well, then, let's go?"

Linghu Baiwan didn't even look at it, he just reached out and took out the fire breakers and burned them before turning around. "Mysterious."

Li Yuan frowned slightly and sensed the shining top-grade Liuhe boots in the weapon jar. Then he put on his hat and picked up his hammer to follow.

Before you leave, close the door. -

In the drizzle, Li Yuan followed unhurriedly.

Linghu Baiwan in front of him was very fast and would stop to wait for him from time to time. The two of them walked out of the inner island one after the other. Linghu Wanwan untied a awning boat from the shore, held the boat and went down the river.

Cold Pool Water, along with other water veins in the mountains, also has rivers leading outside the mountains, but when the water flows out, it is no longer freezing cold.

Woo hoo. In the rainy night, the wind is slightly cold.

Linghu Wanwan is very skilled in punting boats, fast and stable.

Li Yuan stood on the sampan, looking at the dark lake, and couldn't help but think of the red dragon fish king. In the past few days, he went to the library specifically to look for relevant records.

Before the relocation of Shenbing Pavilion, Dihuo Hantan was also a desert like Huolongkou Fenglei Valley, rich in rare iron materials and many spiritual beasts.

For thousands of years, there have been many people who have come to hunt spiritual fish, but the cold water of a thousand feet is enough to stop even the most skilled fishermen. The number of times the Red Arowana King has appeared is even rarer, and the most recent one dates back to more than thirty years ago. The last person to see the Red Arowana King was Han Chuijun.

Old Han suffered a loss because of that fish king. "Li Yuan shook his head inwardly.

Chirong Cave is difficult to enter, and Han Pond is also dangerous and unpredictable. It is no wonder that the Black Whale Hammer has not been found in the Divine Weapon Valley for more than a thousand years. "arrive!"

Suddenly, Linghu Baiwan opened his mouth and stopped the boat on the lake. Um?

Li Yuan turned around. In the night rain, he could still vaguely see the outline of the inner island. How could the places in Zhaixing Tower be so close? "This is the anti-cold pill."

Linghu Baiwan dropped the oar and handed Li Yuan an elixir. Without waiting for the latter to speak, he had already plunged into the pond. Li Yuan frowned, of course he couldn't take this kind of elixir of unknown origin. After controlling the red dragon fish skin armor, he also went into the water.

The cold pool water in the night rain became even colder.

Li Yuan took a moment to adapt and chased Linghu Wanwan to one side of the river, which was more than eighty meters away from the river. "Um?"

Li Yuan's eyes widened and he caught a glimpse of light from the crack in the stone. He immediately jumped into it and climbed in.

Behind the crack in the stone is a cave, which is somewhat similar to Hantan Cave. There are torches burning on the wall, and there is an iron box on the ground, covered with various masks.

"Pick a mask and put it on."

Linghu Baiwan wiped the water from his face and shivered a little: "Grandma, it's too cold."

Inside the iron box were various animal-faced masks, the materials of which were quite different. Li Yuan also saw a ghost-faced mask among them, which was very similar to Han Chuijun's.

Li Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, he chose the ghost mask and put it on before following Linghu Wanwan. This place in Zhaixing Tower is very secretive.

Li Yuan followed him around and around in the tunnel. He almost fainted before he saw the light from the end of the tunnel. After walking through the tunnel, it suddenly became clear that the mountain seemed to have been hollowed out, with a large space and many lights.

"Be so careful."

Li Yuan scanned and found that there were at least hundreds of holes on the surrounding walls, real and fake, extending in all directions. It can be seen that the people who built this underground palace were very careful.

Li Yuan thought to himself that even if this place was leaked out, or even if there was a traitor, it would be difficult to catch everyone in one fell swoop. "I don't have a base in Zhaixing Tower. This cave is a temporary gathering place. All tasks are accepted and submitted here." Linghu Baiwan jumped down and landed in the cave, and Li Yuan followed.

"Linghu, are you here to hand in the task?"

A hoarse voice came, and an old man in black clothes, who was trembling when he walked, walked out of a cave somewhere.

Li Yuan glanced at it. The old man was wearing a snake mask, had no weapons, and was just leaning on an iron rod. "Master!"

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The old man seemed to be trembling, but in fact his body was like a python when he walked. He seemed to be slow, but in fact he was extremely vigilant.

"Well, I accepted a task to extradite a newcomer."

Linghu Baiwan responded and introduced to Li Yuan: "This is Snake Old Man, he is in charge of this base." "This...

He looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan clasped his fists: "Ghost Face has met Snake Old Man. "Oh." The old man nodded: "Ghost Face, um, I will give you the token later." "Thank you." Li Yuan nodded and thanked him. This base is very simple. Li Yuan took a few glances and had a general idea of ​​it. The only eye-catching thing is the huge stone tablet like a beam standing in the middle of the cave. The stone tablet is densely covered with small characters. "Except for those few rules in the building, there are no other requirements. If you want to accept the task, come to this stone tablet to accept it. If you don't want to accept it, it doesn't matter." Linghu Baiwan pointed to the stone tablet. "Zhelong Zhaixing Tower, the killing list. "

In the light of the torch, Li Yuan glanced casually and saw many familiar names. The first one was Gong Yangyu.

"Gong Yangyu, the master of Shenbing Valley, was born with thirteen dragon-shaped bones, and was proficient in the five inner sect secrets of Shenbing Valley. He was equipped with the unique five weapons and five-color spiritual energy, and held the top-grade five-color Lingxu knife..."

The small words on the stone tablet clearly listed the intelligence information about Gong Yangyu, and many of them had obvious traces of modification. ... He completed the Tongmai Dacheng forty-two years ago, and refined the internal organs nine years ago. It is suspected that he injured his internal organs when he was trying to complete the refining of internal organs..." The stone tablet recorded more than Li Yuan knew, and it was more detailed, and even had information about Gong Yangyu's previous actions.

"The master of Zhelong Mansion can be ranked in the top three. Those who accept this task need to meet with the employer to discuss the reward." Seeing the end, Li Yuan's eyes condensed:

"It is suspected that he has practiced the worship method." Gong Yangyu has practiced the worship method? ! Li Yuan's heart was shocked.

"Gong Yangyu should be the best master in Zhelong Mansion. He has been famous for decades and his swordsmanship has reached the pinnacle." Linghu Baiwan naturally knew what he was looking at and said a few words casually: "For decades, many people have accepted this task, but they all died." "Masters of refining internal organs, top masters of prefectures and states, those who dare to accept this task must at least be able to open their meridians, right?" Li Yuan saw the red mark that this task failed sixteen times. "Not really, it is said that there was a master of poison who was very good at changing his form, and he was hung on the top of the city to dry and feed the dogs." Linghu Baiwan's voice was flat: "The building will not ask us to accept the task, but some people are ignorant." "The money makes you lose your mind, right?" Li Yuan saw the rewards on the stone tablet, including gold, silver, fields, shops, famous instruments, big pills, inner armor, martial arts secrets, and everything else. There was even a reward that included several courtesans in the prefecture. After looking for a while, he found Han Chuijun's reward, but the handwriting on that line was very faint, as if it had been repaired a long time ago. "If all employers and their bloodline descendants are dead, and no one accepts the mission for more than ten years, the mission will be cancelled." Linghu Baiwan added.

"No wonder Old Han kills the whole family at will." Li Yuan was a little surprised.

For a big family like the Zhao family, if someone escapes with the family wealth, even if they don't have the ability to take revenge, they will offer a reward for others.

The reward for one person may not be a big deal, but Zhaixinglou is like other killer organizations, and the reward will accumulate. A person who has many enemies and cannot cut the grass and root, his reward will pile up to a terrifying level. Bawan Fang Baoluo Qiu Changying Shi Hong, and Ding Zhi.

The stone tablet has the names of all the true disciples of Shenbing Valley. Li Yuan even saw himself, and his expression was a little strange. "Li Yuan, dragon-shaped root bone, suspected to be just beginning to become strong, practicing the military way of fighting and killing hammer..."

"Reward: 300 taels of gold, a famous weapon." Just this little thing?

Li Yuan shook his head: "No wonder no one took it..."

This reward is too much for an ordinary inner strongman, but with the title of the true disciple of the Divine Weapon Valley, it seems too little. Ding Zhi's reward is not low, but it has been crossed out. "

Li Yuan looked at both sides of the stone tablet. He felt that this stone tablet was more detailed and accurate than the various lists of Yunshu Building. This information was worth his trip.

"Token!" A hoarse voice came, Li Yuan reached out to take the token, and found that it was a wooden token, and the ghost face painted on it was also very rough. "Wood, iron, copper, silver, and gold, the tokens are five-level killers, and different tokens can access different levels of intelligence and treatment. "The snake-faced old man said this and turned away.

Li Yuan took a glance and felt a little depressed. The old man had a silver medal hanging on his waist.

Linghu Baiwan was not a silver medal killer yet, but the scimitar on his waist was a top-grade famous weapon, at least he must be a master of Yixing Dacheng.

This snake-faced old man...

"If you accept ten tasks and complete half of them, you can get an iron medal, and if you complete hundreds of tasks, you will get a silver medal. "Linghu Baiwan explained:

"I still have more than ten tasks left to get a silver medal. There is only one gold medal killer in the Hidden Dragon Mansion..." This fox-faced man has killed at least a hundred people?

Li Yuan was a little frightened. The Silver Medal Killer had to complete at least a hundred tasks. "Let's go and look elsewhere."

Seeing that Li Yuan had seen enough, Linghu Baiwan led him into another cave. The underground cave is very simple, but it has its own unique charm.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment when he walked in. The cave was brightly lit and full of the aroma of wine and meat, like a restaurant. "Two pots of monkey wine and three pounds of soul pork."

Linghu Baiwan said hello and pulled Li Yuan to a very close corner. Soon, a woman wearing a cat-face mask brought food and wine over.

"A pot of monkey wine costs two taels of gold. How does it taste?" Linghu Baiwan reached out and poured a glass of wine for both of them.

“Good wine!”

Li Yuan tasted the product and his eyes lit up.

He didn't know much about wine, but he liked the strong fruity taste, not astringent, not spicy, but also sweet taste. "It's definitely better if it's more expensive."

Linghu Baiwan drank a few drinks and said:

"Elder Wang's mission requirements mentioned that he wanted me to introduce you to the Star Building. How much do you know about the Star Building?" "According to the rumors in the market, one hundred and eight people were responsible for assassinating the king."

Li Yuan answered honestly.

He really didn't know much about Star Reaching Tower. "Absolutely the same as I was then."

Linghu Baiwan was not surprised. He organized his language a little and said:

"The rumors of one hundred and eight people are true. There are indeed only these core killers in Star Reaching Tower. There have never been more in thousands of years. However, core killers are rare. There are so many nominal ones like you and me."

"Core killer? Gold medal?"

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly as he thought of Wang Wenyuan. Is the old master the core killer?

"Accepting thousands of tasks and completing them all is a gold medal, but a gold medal is not considered a core. It can only be said that there is hope of becoming a core." Linghu Baiwan shook his head: "Speaking of which, I have never seen it so far. A core killer."

Perhaps because of the mission, he did not hide anything and told Li Yuan some less important information about the Star Reaching Tower. From wood to gold, there is a core killer on top.

Li Yuan clutched the wine glass, a little frightened.

The power of the Star Reaching Tower was much greater than he had previously expected.

There is no resident in the Star Reaching Tower, but there are countless similar gathering places, and the number of nominal killers is even greater. "What a giant!"

After Linghu Baiwan staggered away, Li Yuan didn't waste any time. He swept away the food and wine and prepared to leave. "Ghost Face, you have a mission."

As soon as he walked out of the restaurant, Li Yuan heard a familiar hoarse voice, and the ghost of the snake-faced old man seemed to appear. "Task?"

Li Yuan frowned. He had no plans to take on the mission for the time being. Besides, didn't the Star-Zhaing Tower have no mandatory missions? "There is a core killer who has assigned you to complete the mission."

The snake-faced old man's voice changed slightly. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing in many years. "You can take a look at the tasks and bounties first. Afterwards, you can choose to accept them or not." Li Yuan frowned slightly after receiving the sealed letter from the snake-faced old man: "Then what does Old Man Wang want to do?" After thinking about it, Li Yuan opened the letter anyway. He estimated that this should be related to the follow-up of the God Worshiping Method. "You want to hang me up with the method of worshiping gods?"

Li Yuan changed his mind and made up his mind not to be led by this old guy, but after just one glance, his expression changed.

This is not a mission at all, more like intelligence.

The three-page letter only said one thing. There was a suspected destiny mysterious weapon in the Shenbing Mountains. After more than a thousand years of searching in the Shenbing Valley, nothing was found.

"Xuanbing descended from the sky and was born with a spirit. However, precisely because of the spirit, it is difficult for those who are not destined to see its traces." At the end of the letter, there is a reminder from Wang Wenyuan:

"Some people just don't believe it." Who doesn't believe it?

"The people in the valley? The Evil God Cult? Or the Star Reaching Tower?"

Putting the letter raft away, Li Yuan frowned. He originally wanted to take a walk in the cave, but now he only had one thought in his mind.

Someone wants to grab the hammer!
