Chapter 19: The Storm Rises
The mountains are steep and the sky is full of greenery.
A peak surrounded by white mist, with a temple at the top.
In a dimly lit secret room at the center of the hall, a thin old man sat cross-legged on a futon with his eyes closed.
The things in the room were very simple, except for the futon where the old man was sitting, only the three incense sticks stood in the center of the room.
The incense was purple-gold, and a faint flame burned on it, emitting a red glow that reflected the entire chamber.
Suddenly, a stick of incense on the far left suddenly went out.
Hiss!
A soft whistle!
The old man opened his eyes, and his eyes were electrified!
"Yi'er ....."
"Yi'er, ?!! dead"
It seems that because of the long retreat, the old man's voice is intermittent and extremely hoarse.
Rumble!!
The old man stood up, and there was a thunderclap in the entire chamber.
As the old man stepped along, the door to the chamber opened.
Outside the secret room, there was already an old man with white hair and broken arms waiting for him.
"Senior brother, you are still one year away from being able to Ning Dan, why is this so?"
"My Su family is just this descendant!"
The thin old man's voice was not high, but it had a strength.
"When Liu Er left, I promised her to take care of our only descendant. ”
The slightest chill emanated, and the air around me became colder and colder at some point.
"Now, I have failed Liu'er. ”
"My only loved one is dead!!"
Whew, the wind roars!
Snowflakes!!
The thin old man turned around and held the long sword at his waist.
Look up and look into the distance.
"Liu'er, I promise you to take good care of Yi'er. ”
"Now, he's going to accompany you!"
"I promised you, I didn't do it, after sending that person's head to pay tribute to you, I will come to accompany you soon!"
The old man muttered, and blood and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.
Behind the back, the three words "Ziyang Palace" on the plaque exude a misty white light under the blow of the wind and snow.
.....
In the hidden room, a middle-aged man dressed in cyan satin was bound to the bed with a wide range of flowers, and his mouth was also stuffed with cotton cloth, and the whole person was almost completely immobile.
"Woo!"
The middle-aged man shook his body, struggled desperately, and whimpered, but it didn't have any effect.
"Click!"
The door was pushed open, and a burly man in black approached.
He walked up to the middle-aged man and said coldly:
"I ask, you answer!!"
"If you lie, you should know what happened to your family!!"
"Uh-huh!"
The middle-aged man who was tied to the bed nodded vigorously.
"Don't play any tricks, you've seen our methods. ”
The dagger in the left hand of the man in black flicked and picked up the cotton cloth in the middle-aged man's mouth, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the sharp knife edge also scratched the corner of the man's mouth.
The middle-aged man didn't care so much, after the cotton cloth in his mouth was taken away, he didn't care about the wound at the corner of his mouth, he took a deep breath, like a fish coming ashore for a few minutes back into the water again.
"You know this, right?"
The man in black held a golden illustrated book in his hand, on which a large white jade-like hand was drawn, and in the center of the big hand there was a copper coin with a round outer circle and a square inside.
"This is, this is the Heaven and Earth Alliance...."
Looking at the illustrated book in front of him, the middle-aged man's face changed, and he hesitated for a moment, but he still said something when he thought of something.
"Good, it looks like you're not lying, it's a good start. ”
The man in black nodded and continued to ask:
"Where did you see this pattern?"
"Yes, I saw it from a friend three years ago....."
Without giving the middle-aged man time to think, the man in black continued to ask quickly:
"So, what's the name of that friend of yours?"
.....
For a long time, the man in black still kept talking at such a fast pace and asked questions, until this moment.
He took out a portrait again, and the portrait was of a man wearing a white jade mask, with a copper coin at the center of the white jade mask, covering his entire face.
"Yes, let's ask one last question. ”
I don't know when, the room was filled with a faint fragrance, and the voice of the man in black became a little soft, making people want to listen to it and continue listening.
"Have you seen him?"
Looking at the portrait, the person wearing a white jade mask.
The middle-aged man's eyes were a little confused, silent, as if he was thinking.
The man in black did not urge at this time, but stared at him intently.
Half a day.
The middle-aged man finally said the answer: "No,..... Haven't seen it. ”
"What a pity!"
With a sigh, the man in black showed a disappointed expression.
Kacha!
A thick palm crushed the middle-aged man's neck, allowing the middle-aged man to show an unbelievable expression.
Ignoring the corpse on the bed, the man in black took out a thick notebook from his arms, turned the latest page, and crossed out the last name with a pen - 11352———— all Hongzhuang.
........
On the wide streets, white horses gallop.
In the carriage, Lin Tianxiong closed his eyes and rested.
On the interface of the system, Lin Tianxiong looked carefully:
Name: Lin Tianxiong
Identity: The sixth elder of the Demon Spirit Gate, the gold master
Realm: Innate
Skills: Red Flame Alchemy (6), Demon Blood Refining (7), Golden Jade Hand (6), Great Trend (7)
Talents: Sense of Killing Intent
Mission: Solve the impending crisis of the financier
Warning: You still have a week to prepare, and you are about to face the great dangers that come with it.
Compared with the last interface, Lin Tianxiong has changed four.
One is identity, and the other is realm.
Needless to say, the identity is the gold master, and the realm has been raised to a big level.
Building the foundation, passing through the Xuan, and the sea of gods, the consummation of the sea of gods is the unity of heaven and man, and the sense of qi is intertwined, so that you can enter the congenital.
The third is the skill, the demon blood refining body was upgraded by one level when Lin Tianxiong obtained the talent.
The golden jade hand and the general trend are when Lin Tianxiong was the gold master, he majored in exercises.
The last one is the talent that Lin Tianxiong obtained after completing the task - Killing Intent Perception.
The slight movement of the killing intent is clear, and the ups and downs of people's hearts are observed.
Lin Tianxiong, who is talented in his body, has doubled his combat power compared to before.
However, now the most important system of tasks for the owner of the impending crisis.
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong!"
The impact of the copper coin formed a pleasant sound, and Lin Tianxiong's fingers tapped slightly on the seat, thoughtful.
"Hiss!"
The galloping horses neighed and stopped.
The huge inertia caused the carriage to slide forward, and the decorations and sundries in the carriage couldn't help but be affected, and Lin Tianxiong closed his eyes and opened them.
"Where did you get something that stood in the way of our son?"
A scold.
Several people in green clothes and white coats with long swords at their waists blocked Lin Tianxiong's carriage and horses.
"Look at this carriage!"
"Don't you know that this is the car of the four heroes of Chu City?"
