Chapter 32: Martial Arts (4)
This entire bluestone mountain is the dark building. Hidden in the belly of the mountain, the entrance is the bottomless giant well at the top of the mountain.
The dark building, which sounds like a shadow, is hidden in the dark and is not known, but on the contrary, in the rivers and lakes, the dark building is still very famous, and everyone is very happy to hire people from the dark building, those people are killers, assassins, and dead soldiers. They can die for you, they will be absolutely loyal, but they will be rewarded with more than just money
Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the person who comes out of the dark building is a killer and an assassin, but in fact, the function of the dark building is far from being known.
The people of the popular valley founded sixteen high-rise buildings, standing on the rivers and lakes. Dark Building, Wind Building, Moon Building, Star Picking Building, Sheng Building, Ce Building, Soldier Building, Corpse Coffin, Jade Building, Mirror Building, Fog Building, Rock Building, Yin and Yang, Mowei, Le Building, Tianhuan. These sixteen buildings are like a big net, netting the entire rivers and lakes, and the owners of each building are people who come out of the wind valley, like brothers and sisters, and they want to use these sixteen high-rise buildings to become the helmsman of this huge rivers and lakes.
But among them, only the name of the dark building is circulated, and the other high-rise buildings are either in the dark or the names of the external names are different, and the owners of each building are well-known figures in the rivers and lakes, the decent ones are there, the evil ones are also there, there are heroes who save people in fire and water, and there are also devils who kill people like hemp. No one is going to associate these sixteen people together.
The dark building, cultivating killers and assassins, also cultivating dead soldiers for the powerful, and even providing a nursing home for wealthy merchants - but those are all defective products that cannot survive in the building, and they are deprived of the opportunity to cultivate internal strength, and only retain some hand and foot skills. However, even these defective products are contributing to the remnants of the value of another building, the Wind Building, a secret intelligence organization that specializes in gathering intelligence and various people in power. These people tend to be faithful—because the unfaithful have long since been disposed of.
But there's more to the dark building than that. It's a well-rounded building with all the configurations - for cultivating killers. Therefore, the new disciples of each building must first go to the dark building to screen it. If you survive, you can count it as a pass.
Baizhu entered the high iron gate, a long corridor that slanted down, surrounded by the smell of rust. Baizhu walked forward, looked around, there were murals carved on both walls of the corridor, the ancient murals Baizhu did not understand very well, depicted knives, swords, blood, and people who kept fighting, people's expressions were extremely hideous, as if they were snatching something.
He was somewhat silent. These murals, as if to foreshadow something.
Soon, the voice came from the front, and Baizhu walked over, and there was indeed a huge space in front of him, the size of a small sports field, and several separate rooms were located on the edge, vacating a large square-like space in the middle.
A black-clothed and masked young man saw Baizhu, walked straight up, and said, "Cover your face." ”
"Why?"
"Blindfolded. No one wants to know what you look like. The other party said coldly.
Baizhu pulled out a black face towel from his pocket and covered his face.
"You're tying the knot wrong." The other party said, and then turned behind Baizhu, untied his bow, and then tied a dead knot.
He finished calmly, crossed his hands and hugged him, and looked at Baizhu condescendingly: "How can you let me stand behind you so lightly, if I were an enemy, you would have died a long time ago." ”
Baizhu raised his little head, looked at the black-clothed young man in front of him very speechlessly, reached to the back of his head with his little hand, and touched the knot behind him.
"You tied me a dead knot?"
"A dead knot, of course! Do you think that if someone gently pulls your face towel and it will fall off, what difference will there be between you wearing it and not wearing it? He said coldly.
Bai Zhu thought silently, the people in the costume drama seemed to be able to fall off with a light pull of the face towel
The other man turned and walked forward, and said, "Call me three thousand." You are the three thousand, four hundred and fifty, code three, four, five, and the people here are called according to their ranking. Don't say your real name lightly. ”
"Don't complain about the ghost name yet. It's just that here, it sounds a little weird and ominous
Three thousand led him into a small room, which was as small as the student dormitory of their high school—although he had never lived in it, he was lucky enough to visit it once, and it was so small and narrow that there were six people living in it.
And this small room here is densely packed with people, a large shop, there are men and women, the big one is estimated to be in his 20s, and the smallest is estimated to be the shell of Baizhu, which looks like he is only 6 or 7 years old.
As soon as Baizhu came in, several pairs of eyes were staring at him instantly.
Sanqian pointed to a vacant pillow and said, "This is your bed." ”
And they withdrew their eyes and did their own thing.
"And where do you sleep?"
"I don't sleep in this room." Sanqian said, looking at Baizhu, "It will be difficult to survive in the future, you have to be careful." Then he went out.
Survival is a word that inevitably comes to mind
Baizhu puffed up a smile and greeted everyone: "Hello everyone! I'm a new three, four, five, how long have you been here? ”
A few people gave him a strange look, and then quickly turned away and went about their business. No one paid any attention to him.
Bai Shu laughed twice and didn't speak again.
The atmosphere here looks so strange
Baizhu climbed onto the bed, trying to figure out the current situation, and carefully pushed the child of the same age next to him.
"Hello, how did you get here? Anyway, what kind of place is the dark building?"
"I didn't even know what the dark building was and came in, did I think my life was too long?!" A man sneered, laughter erupting around him.
Bai Shu looked over and pretended to be innocent and asked, "Then can you tell me about the dark building?" I was brought in directly by a guy named Baili Fengqing, and I don't know anything."
The surrounding voices gradually died out, and the man also closed his mouth, lowered his head and continued to do his thing, his expression hidden under the black face toil, as if the scene had never happened.
Baizhu is a little inexplicable, isn't he still laughing at him just now? Shouldn't he laugh louder at this time, so that he can get useful information between the lines?
- Why don't these guys play according to the routine!
"Hey," a small voice called him, "Hey"
There was a man tugging at his sleeve. It's a child who is only a little older than him, masked, and he doesn't know what he looks like, but he has a pair of eyes, and he is very beautiful.
The kid whispered, "Your name is three, four, five?" My name is Three, Four, Three, and I just came, only one day before you. ”
Baizhu finally had someone take care of it, smiled in front of the children, and whispered: "Hello, do you know why they don't pay attention to me?" ”
"Well, I don't know," the child said hesitantly, "a lot of people here are in gangs, it's very dangerous, we're just as big, so let's go together." ”
"Hmm. Good. Baizhu nodded.
Sansisan smiled, and his good-looking eyes narrowed, "I also have a younger sister who is also here, but she is more shy, let me introduce her." As he spoke, he turned his body sideways, revealing a little girl behind him, the little girl clung to the boy's clothes, and when she saw that there was suddenly no cover in front of her, she was so frightened that she ducked behind the boy, and her little face was buried tightly in his back.
"Well, don't be afraid, this man is our friend. Let's get acquainted. The boy comforted softly, and the little girl timidly showed her eyes, glanced at him, and hid behind the boy again.
"As you can see, this is my sister, especially shy." He smiled, "We came in together, she's three, four, two." ”
"Hello." Baizhu said hello. There was no movement behind the boy's back.
"It's dangerous here, we've only been here for a day, and we just know that people are dying all the time. Most of us died in training, but luckily, our kids' training wasn't with these adults. If there is a fight, our enemies will not be these adults."
"How many kids are there?" Baizhu asked.
"A lot. And they're all very good, so we only have a chance of going out if we are in company. ”
After sleeping for one night, the next day, Three Thousand came and took them to their training ground, not the 'central square' in front of them, but bypassing the room where they lived, towards a hole. I entered the cave and walked for a short time until I reached that place.
A cave – or rather, a big cave in itself. There were many other small caves like this in this cave, but for the Baizhu people, this place was big enough.
There are more than a dozen children standing here sporadically, the oldest is only about 11 or 2 years old, and the youngest looks like he is only 5 years old, younger than Baizhu, such a small child, he can't even memorize the ninety-nine multiplication table, what do you know? Come here too?! Although Baizhu didn't know what was going on here, he knew that it wasn't a comfortable place.
Three thousand waited for everyone to go in, and brought a cage with a flock of chickens, clucking - still a flock of hens.
"Your mission today is to kill chickens. Here are your weapons, a dagger per person, lunch, and a steamed bun per person. Of the 15 young men present, there were only 10 chicken heads, and the person carrying the chicken head had dinner. That's all I have to say, so do your best. As he spoke, he opened the cage, and 10 hens clucked and fluttered their wings.
Three thousand turned to leave, the sound of the mechanism sounded, and the entrance to this place was closed.
Baizhu's heart trembled! - Is the system here going to raise them as Gu worms?
