Chapter 61: A Sword, a Truth
Antique room, clean and tidy.
The color of the light gauze curtain is full of cute girly pink, and a young girl lies on the delicate mahogany bed.
Not far from the bed, there is a set of mahogany round tables, in the center of which is a delicate and small two-eared three-legged bronze incense burner, and a faint green smoke wafts from the hollow pattern on the lid of the pointed bronze incense burner.
Less than a foot away from the bronze incense burner, a tea set with exquisite peach patterns, and a woman in black sat at the table.
The woman's outfit looked out of place with everything in the room.
At this time, she was picking up the peach-colored teapot and concentrating on pouring the tea contained in it into the teacup that matched the teapot, making a sound similar to gurgling water.
"Whoa! Whoa......"
With the sound of gurgling water, the ears of the girl lying on the bed moved slightly, obviously hearing the sound of water, she suddenly opened her eyes, quickly sat up from the bed, pulled the sheets under her, and rushed to the source of the sound, the action was done in one go.
I saw that the girl made a winding motion, and then put it around the neck of the woman sitting at the table, trying to restrain the woman in black with one move, of course, she would not hesitate to choose to kill her as a last resort.
However, at the moment when the quilt in the girl's hand was put on the woman, she saw the woman leaning forward with a half-bent forward movement to perfectly avoid the quilt around her neck, and kicked her feet backwards, and the stool she was sitting on flew backwards in an instant.
The stool smashed into the girl, and the girl's eyes quickly withdrew backwards, avoiding the mahogany stool.
And at this moment, the woman leaned forward slightly, opened the table with her left hand, stepped lightly on the bluestone slab on the ground with her right foot, and flew out with the help of her strength, turning around to face the girl, and at the same time opening a certain distance.
The series of actions of the two of them are smooth and natural, as if these actions have happened countless times in their lives, and without a trace of Yihao's thinking, the brain will automatically help them make all the judgments through conditioned reflexes.
Seeing that this move was missed, the girl immediately changed her move and swept the sheet in her hand out, interfering with the sight of the woman in black, and at the same time squatting down and sweeping her legs.
And the woman seemed to be an unpredictable prophet, seeing the girl's sheet swept towards her eyes, stretched out her hand to pull the sheet, and at the same time, with the help of the strength of the sheet, a retreating person hung in the air, and once again reached forward and pulled the sheet to pull up the girl who was squatting, with the help of this force, a backflip, over the girl and fell behind her.
The girl accurately predicted the woman's landing position, and a back elbow punch was hit without hesitation, and the woman seemed to know in advance that there would be such a punch, and stretched out her hands to resist the girl's back elbow.
Seeing this, the girl didn't mess up, turned to the left and hit a right hook.
The woman bent down to avoid the punch with one move, and at the same time kicked forward with her left leg, separating the girl from herself.
The girl stabilized her figure and rushed forward again, for the assassin, it was either the other party or the other party.
The woman didn't want to entangle with her, so she pulled out the dagger from her waist in an instant, flipped sideways, went around behind the girl, and put the dagger against the girl's white neck.
The woman's three movements, from pulling out the dagger to wrapping around the girl's back and holding the dagger against the girl's neck, add up to less than one breath, which shows how fast her movements are.
Seeing this, the girl finally settled down, and did not dare to move easily, she asked herself if she could not do the woman's movements so fast, and if she wanted to do it, it would take at least two breaths to complete these movements.
Seeing that she was quiet, the woman put away the dagger, turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared directly behind the girl, appeared next to the table that was pushed out, patted her right hand, and the table moved instantly, and then, she disappeared again, appeared next to the stool, kicked with her left foot, and the table and chair returned to their original places, accurate to the slightest.
In the end, the woman turned into a puff of smoke again, reappeared, and had returned to the place where she was sitting, all this seemed to be a long process, but it took three breaths, the woman in black with her back to the girl picked up the cup of tea on the table and took a sip, her voice did not have a trace of warmth, and said, "The temperature is just right." Would you like a drink?"
As soon as the woman's voice fell, she began to pour tea for the girl, regardless of whether she agreed or not, and the girl's voice standing behind her also did not have a trace of emotion, and asked, "Why don't you kill me?"
The woman in black didn't stop pouring tea in her hand, and said, "Did I say I was going to kill you?"
The girl listened to the woman's answer, turned around and picked up the clothes on the bed, and was about to leave, but she listened to the woman and said, "With your current condition, where can you go?"
The girl did not answer her, and continued on her way, but when she approached the door, the door closed on its own.
There was finally a hint of coldness in the girl's voice, and she didn't know what it meant: "What do you mean?"
The woman was still drinking tea leisurely and said, "I only said that I would not kill you, and I did not promise to let you go." ”
"And what do you want?"
The girl's voice once again regained a tone without a trace of emotion, because she knew that things were not simple, since the other party wanted to keep herself, then this matter would not be simple, and even if she wanted to leave, she couldn't go, just with the magic that the woman had just revealed, she knew that she couldn't go.
The woman poured the cup of tea, pinched the teacup with two fingers and flicked the edge of the teacup, and saw the teacup flying out diagonally upwards from the table, but the most peculiar thing was that not a drop of water in the teacup was spilled during the flight.
Hearing this, the girl quickly stretched out her right hand to catch the teacup steadily, and the tea in it did not spill a drop, but only made a ripple, how accurate the strength of this can be done, as assassins, they can imagine each other in their hearts.
And this process, the identity of the woman in black, for the girl, is ready to come out, the girl turned to look at the woman, but saw that the woman made a gesture to ask her to sit down, the assassin to the assassin, she has nothing to fear, because the peer is an enemy, so they have a certain cognitive understanding of each other, therefore, the girl did not hesitate at all, just sat down beside her.
The woman chuckled and said, "It's much more comfortable to talk like this." ”
The girl did not take her words, but drank the tea in her hand without any scruples.
When the woman saw that she was settled, she felt that it was time to get down to business, so she refilled her with a glass and asked, "Do you know what this place is?"
How could the girl know, she didn't even know how she appeared here, since she didn't know, she naturally couldn't speak, this is her character, the character of an assassin, few words.
The woman didn't expect the girl to answer herself, and said to herself: "This place is called Nie Yin Pavilion, and it is a place where assassins from all over the world gather, so it also has a good name called Netherworld Pavilion, because it is located in the South Netherworld, and there is no one who is immortal in its book of life and death, so it has this good name, and I also like this name." ”
Nie Yin Pavilion, located in the territory of the South Netherworld of Wuzhou, is a place where assassins from all over the world gather, and is known as the first floor in the world.
As long as any assassination mission in the world is issued to Nie Yin Pavilion, although no one may accept it, once someone accepts it, it means that no matter who kills, the assassin who takes the task will be entangled with the target to the end, not that he will die, and he will not give up.
And there is also a kind of life and death book, once you are on Nie Yin Pavilion's life and death book, no matter the ends of the earth, you will definitely be dead or alive, even if the person who originally took the task dies, there will be a new person to take his place, continue to chase and kill, until the target dies.
Of course, the person who issued the assassination warrant had to pay a certain amount of value in exchange. This is also the rule of Nie Yin Pavilion, otherwise, without resources, how can such a huge organization be maintained?
And whether to accept it or not depends on Nie Yin Pavilion itself, and once Nie Yin Pavilion takes it, as long as the person who is killed is in the book of life and death, this kind of treatment of the highest standard, then this person is destined to die.
As a force in the Southern Netherworld Continent and the Tomb God Mountain, it has thousands of halls in the five continents, it can be said that where there are people, there will be grievances and contradictions, and the generation of grievances and contradictions will inevitably be related to life and death, and there will inevitably be people who need Nie Yintang, a branch of Nie Yin Pavilion, so there is such a saying in the five continents, where there is a well, there is Nie Yin Pavilion.
Therefore, no one in these five continents dared to easily launch a frontal war with Nie Yin Pavilion.
As the ghost of this world, as long as there is a remnant of evil, it can kill countless descendants of those forces, not to mention that they themselves will have a lot of inconvenient places to make a move, and they can use the power of Nie Yin Pavilion, so no one in the forces in the five continents is willing to provoke Nie Yin Pavilion.
The girl said, "What does it have to do with me?"
The woman didn't answer her directly, "In my eyes, there are two kinds of assassins in the world, one lives for himself, the other lives for protecting something, and you live to protect someone." ”
The girl was poked in the soft underbelly, her face froze, she was slightly moved, and asked, "How do you know?"
The woman smiled and said, "If I don't know, then why are you still here?"
The girl didn't ask again, but waited for the woman in front of her to tell her purpose, also as an assassin, the woman in black would naturally grasp the proportions of her words, and she didn't want to say nonsense, she continued: "If I guessed correctly, the person you want to protect is your beloved, and I was also such a person back then, guarding my beloved, but unfortunately my protection failed, but I don't want the same tragedy to happen again, so I want to train you to be the most powerful assassin in the world." ”
Although the girl was a little moved by her guessing the meaning of her life, she was not moved by it, she did not waste time here, and said decisively: "Not interested." ”
The woman didn't intend for her to agree to herself immediately, and without forcing it, she said, "You can stay on the mountain for a few days and then make a decision, and this will be your place to stay in the future." ”
After speaking, she took out a waist card from her body and put it on the table, adding: "Put this on your body, and when your life is in danger, show it, otherwise, I am afraid that you will not live to the moment when you go down the mountain." ”
After the woman in black explained this, she was ready to get up and leave.
The girl was not polite to her, put away her waist card, and said to the figure who was about to go out: "Give me back my prisks." ”
The woman did not turn around, and said, "I will give it back to you before you go down the mountain." ”
After saying that, he disappeared in front of the girl's eyes, as if he had never appeared like a ghost.
