Volume 1 A White-robed Three-Foot Sword Chapter 35 Misfortune?
The night is deep, the silver moon is hanging high, and the shadows of the trees are waving.
The two of them were not hypocritical, and found a random place to rest in the forest.
Xiaoyaozi took out a bag of things from the storage ring and sprinkled it around the two of them.
"It's animal repellent powder. ”
Xiaoyaozi explained.
"Hmm. ”
Lin Nuo nodded.
"There is still time, so the old man will tell you about this mission. ”
Xiaoyaozi took out the task list and handed it to Lin Nuo.
Lin Nuo took it, only to see that the task list was densely written with words.
"Liu Jianian, Tang Zhen guarded, for many years by virtue of force suppression, a lot of money, the local people are miserable, according to this inference, Liu Jianian is very likely to collude with the Demon Cultivator of the Demon Prefecture......"
Lin Nuo looked at the task list and read it lightly.
"That's right, what the old man took you to just now was the Hidden Killing Gate, the number one killer organization of the Rising Sun Empire. ”
Xiaoyaozi explained on the side, his cloudy eyes full of memories, "The Hidden Killing Gate became famous in the Rising Sun Empire thousands of years ago, and its master claimed to be a killing god, and he cultivated to the heavens and Jedi, and his specialized assassin path was even more elusive, and no one knew his true face, because almost everyone who saw him died on his dagger." ”
"A thousand years ago, the god of killing created a hidden killing door, and he only killed corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he would never bully the common people if he was rich and unkind. As soon as these words came out, everyone in the officialdom of the Rising Sun Empire was in danger, and the Rising Sun Emperor in his later years thought that this was a provocation by the Killing God to him, so he discharged five god-level masters to capture the Killing God. ”
"And then?"
Lin Nuo asked curiously.
"And then?"
Xiaoyaozi smiled, "The five god-level masters, the law god spirit god died in battle, and only three war gods survived, and the killing god was seriously injured in the battle because of this, and he couldn't come out of seclusion." The Emperor of the Rising Sun was furious and began to encircle and suppress the Hidden Killing Gate in the country. It was not until the death of the Rising Sun Emperor that the crown prince relaxed the encirclement and suppression of the hidden killing gate in order to eradicate dissidents and consolidate the imperial power.
The killing god retreated, and the hidden killing door began to lurk in a low-key manner, until a hundred years ago, it occupied a stronghold in the Ming King City, the casino on the first floor was just for cover, and the second floor was still undertaking the killer task.
The rules set by the god of killing have never dared to be violated, one is because the god of killing had made a blood oath, if anyone violates it, the ends of the earth will kill it, and now a thousand years have passed, no one knows whether the god of killing is dead or alive, but the aftermath of killing the god has been shrouded in the hidden door. The second is because the Hidden Killing Gate has four protectors in the southeast, south, and northwest, and they are the righteous sons of the Killing God at the beginning, and they have inherited the will of the Killing God, and have done their best for the Hidden Killing Gate for thousands of years, and firmly believe that the Killing God will come back one day. ”
Lin Nuo thought of that gorgeous woman, she was the southern protector of the southeast and northwest, but judging by her age, she was only in her thirties at most, how could she be an old monster who had lived for thousands of years.
Xiaoyaozi saw Lin Nuo's doubts, "What's so strange about this, as long as you reach the sixth order of cultivation, your lifespan will begin to increase, and what is so strange about reaching the ninth order of cultivation and living for thousands of years." Boy, listen to the old man's words, the more good-looking a woman is, the more she will deceive people, and you will know when you grow up. Nan Protector is the only righteous woman who kills the gods, she is ruthless, and the men who died at his hands are unknown, do you know what her nickname is? Nan Butcher, male butcher, tsk. ”
Xiaoyaozi sighed and continued, "And she wears a human skin mask on her face, which is made of the human skin of the man he killed in a special way. ”
Lin Nuo also felt a little furious in his heart when he heard this, which was a bit too perverted.
"I said old man, what do you mean that the more good-looking a woman is, the more she can deceive people? ”
Lin Nuo asked gossipingly.
"Alas, don't mention it, it's a sad tear to say. I think that the old man also had to be good-looking, good-looking, talented, not to mention good-looking, but that was a lot better than your stinky boy......"
"Stop, old man, when you say bitter tears, you will talk about your bitter tears, why do you still bring personal attacks?
Lin Nuo was not convinced, and asked loudly, in exchange for a violent beating by Xiaoyaozi, in the woods under the night sky, the sound of killing pigs resounded, and the black-clothed people who occasionally passed by heard the sound, and they tightened their robes and left quickly, strange things happen every year, there are many this year, and it is really weird enough to run in the woods to kill pigs at night.
......
Early the next morning, Lin Nuo walked alone in the direction of Tang Town, Xiaoyaozi had already explained to him last night, this time the task was completed by him alone, the deadline was one month, Xiaoyaozi would not secretly follow to protect him.
Tang Town is under the jurisdiction of Ming Wangcheng, and it is not very far from Ming Wangcheng. Of course, this distance is not very far, and it is relative to the speed of Xiaoyaozi's imperial sword, and if you walk on your legs, it is estimated that you will have to walk for two days.
Lin Nuo was walking on the road when he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something very important.
Yesterday he received the tall man's storage ring, and he hadn't counted the loot except for a piece of clothing from it.
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Nuo's heart was a little hot, and he was not in a hurry to hurry, he squatted on the side of the road, and his fingertips poured spiritual power into the storage ring.
The tall man had died yesterday, and the death of a person was like a lamp going out, and the mark belonging to the tall man in the storage ring had naturally dissipated a long time ago, and the spiritual power rushed into the storage ring without hindrance, and the space in the storage ring appeared in his mind out of thin air.
Lin Nuo looked over one by one, and found that the three stupid thieves were really poor, except for a few spirit stones and a bunch of gold coins in the storage ring, it seemed that there were only about a hundred or ten pieces, and a few changes of clothes.
The fire in my heart was extinguished in an instant, and I didn't have the money to learn from others to rob, isn't it good to move bricks? I don't know what those three stupid thieves think, such a valuable storage ring was used to hold so many tatters.
Lin Nuo got up helplessly, patted the dust, and continued to walk towards Tang Town.
Yanzhou is very large, and the distance between cities is also extremely far, if an ordinary person walks for a lifetime, I am afraid that he will not be able to walk a distance of several cities, even at the speed of a cultivator, if he wants to rush without a mount, it will be very time-consuming.
Lin Nuo stopped and stopped, and finally came to a small town when it was getting dark.
Coming to the most luxurious tavern in the town, Lin Nuo ordered a table of good wine and good food, and there were still a lot of gold coins in the storage ring, and he had just made a windfall, so Lin Nuo naturally would not treat his stomach badly.
"Guest officer, please wait, the wine and food will be here soon. ”
Xiao Er took a rag and wiped the tables and chairs diligently, and trotted all the way to the back kitchen, no run, no way, since a few days ago there were suddenly a lot of outsiders in the town, the tavern was full every day, Xiao Er's busy feet did not touch the ground, his income was naturally a lot more than usual, and he was able to get some rewards from time to time.
Soon, a table of good dishes were served one after another, Lin Nuo ate meat and drank a lot of wine, it was really pleasant, although these wines were not as good as the strong fruit wine, but they were also much better than the original bitter wine, and in the past two years, Lin Nuo has gradually learned to drink with Xiaoyaozi.
Of course, his ears are not idle, this is his first time on a mission, remember what Xiaoyaozi said before leaving, listen more and talk less. What's more, the tavern is the most well-informed place, from the wealthy nobles to the fugitive beggars, as soon as you drink a little wine, there is nothing to talk about here.
Lin Nuo pricked up his ears and listened carefully, maybe he could learn some unknown news about Liu Jianian here.
Soon, the topic discussed by two middle-aged men not far away attracted Lin Nuo's attention.
"Big brother, are you sure?"
A stout man with a beard on his face asked a white man.
"The news has spread, can there be a fake?"
The white man took a sip of wine, deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Look at how many foreign martial artists have come to the town in the past few days? That man-eating demon beast is a nine-tailed fox nine times out of ten, and it is a young beast, if it is an adult nine-tailed fox, it is impossible to make such a big movement." ”
"Nine-tailed fox?"
Lin Nuo's ears condensed slightly, he frowned and thought about it carefully, and finally remembered that he had seen it in the books in his father's study, the nine-tailed fox, the top divine beast of the fire system, gave birth to a tail every hundred years, and the adult nine-tailed fox would not fall behind even if it competed with the dragon clan, the king of demon beasts, and its horror level could be seen. However, the nine-tailed fox has a huge flaw before reaching adulthood, that is, at the birth of the tail every hundred years, the nine-tailed fox will use all the power in its body to give birth to a new tail, which is its weakest period.
Lin Nuo frowned and listened for a while, and found that the conversation between the two was getting lower and lower, and they seemed to have discovered that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation, so they simply ate the food, no longer spoke, quickly finished eating, threw a gold coin on the table and quickly walked out of the tavern.
"Cannibalism? ”
Lin Nuo thought about it, called Xiao Er, flicked his fingers, and a gold coin flicked into Xiao Er's arms, "Ask you something." ”
"Okay. ”
After taking the reward, Xiao Ermei said with a smile, "If the guest officer has something to ask, the little one must know everything." ”
"Has anything strange happened in town lately?
Lin Nuo asked quietly.
"Yes, on this question, you really asked the right person. ”
Xiao Er leaned close to Lin Nuo's ear and said mysteriously, "But it's not that someone in the town lost it, but Yuxi Village, which is not far from the town." ”
"Yuxi Village?"
Lin Nuo wrote down the name of the place, "Tell me." ”
"Okay. ”
Xiao Er said in a low voice, "It's also miserable, more than a month ago, every night in Yuxi Village, there would be children who disappeared out of thin air inexplicably, and the people in the village searched all over the village and did not find the children, and it became even worse two days ago, not only did the children disappear, but the adults also began to disappear slowly." ”
"You know what the reason is, don't you?"
Lin Nuo asked casually.
"What else could be the reason? I bumped into a man-eating monster, and it was said that this Yuxi Village was unlucky. ”
Xiao Er said indifferently, obviously the strange things in Yuxi Village have nothing to do with him, but he got a lot of rewards by relying on these news, it is a disaster for Yuxi Village, how can it not be a blessing for him?
