Chapter 19: License to Kill
It is said that after Wang Xiaoran survived the Heavenly Tribulation, although there was no place in his soul body that was not burned by thunder and lightning, this kind of damage was not deep and ruthless, and most of it was some superficial damage.
No, it's not even a harm, Wang Xiaoran absorbed the souls of so many creatures in the river before, resulting in the purity of his soul not as high as when he was in the Pangu space, although later Wang Xiaoran washed out those impurities as much as possible by running the energy in his body, but after all, there was no way to leave nothing behind.
And the thunder and lightning brought by this Heavenly Tribulation just made up for Wang Xiaoran's defect, completely removing the impurities that Wang Xiaoran had not washed out before and that remained in the soul body.
While the soul body brought pain, there was also a refreshing feeling, which made Wang feel pain and happiness.
"In the early stage of the Rong Dan Realm, he was able to cause a heavenly tribulation, it seems that he is a genius of the world. Just as Wang Xiaoran was sitting on the stone wall connecting the inner and outer passages, patiently waiting for the soul body to slowly repair itself, a sound of vicissitudes came from the passage not far from Wang Xiaoran.
"Who?" Hearing someone talking not far from him, or talking about himself, Wang stood up nervously, and at the same time dispersed some souls from the soul body, spreading these souls out as his own eyes.
What frightened Wang Xiaoran was that in Wang Xiaoran's soul perception, the source of the sound was empty, as if he had encountered a ghost.
"Hehe, it's better to use less of this kind of pediatric method, the other party's cultivation is similar to yours, or even lower than you, if the other party's cultivation is higher than yours, your method will not only not play any role, but will also cause the other party's disgust. The vicissitudes of life continued to come, and this time the voice came closer to Wang Xiaoran.
At this time, Wang Xiaoran had already collected the soul that he had spread out, not only because he couldn't perceive anyone's trace through the soul that had been spread, but also because Wang Xiaoran had already seen the face of the person who spoke out with his naked eyes.
Not far from Wang Xiaoran, there stood an old man who should be over seventy years old, with a snow-white woolen beard hanging in the air, completely covering the old man's neck.
Contrary to the old man's snow-white wool beard is the old man's waist-length black hair, if it weren't for the deep wrinkles on the old man's face, just from the old man's hair, at most he would be in his early thirties.
"Who are you, what are you doing here?" Wang Xiaoran looked at the old man vigilantly, this old man came to his side quietly and got so close that he didn't notice it, if it wasn't for the old man speaking out himself, it is estimated that the old man would not be able to discover the existence of the other party when he stuck it on himself.
Such a completely incomprehensible person makes Wang Xiaoran really unable to get along with him in the same space with peace of mind.
"Don't be nervous, young man, the old man doesn't have any malicious intent, on the contrary, the old man came to bring you a gift this time, I wonder if the young man is interested in chatting with the old man?" The old man put his hands behind his back, looked at Wang Xiaoran with a smile, and waited for Wang Xiaoran to give an answer.
"I don't know what the seniors want to talk about?" Wang Xiaoran didn't seem to hear what the old man said about bringing him a gift, and directly asked the old man what he wanted to talk about with him.
"Don't worry, let's talk slowly after I get the sea water out of the valley and rescue the guards, doctors, and prisoners trapped in the valley. The old man motioned to Wang Xiaoran to be restless, and then when Wang Xiaoran was completely unaware, he came to Wang Xiaoran's rear and leaned back to back with Wang Xiaoran.
Seeing the figure of the old man in front of him slowly dissipate into the air, coupled with the feeling of backrest coming from his back, Wang Xiaoran felt discouraged for a while, and completely gave up his resistance to the old man.
When the strength of the two is not much different, no one will be convinced, and they will live in battle all the time, but once one person's strength far exceeds the other, the weak one can only accept his fate and let the strong one slaughter.
Now Wang Xiaoran is the one who is weak, and the old man behind him is the strong man whose strength far exceeds that of Wang Xiaoran, of course Wang Xiaoran wisely listens to the other party to make decisions.
After the old man came behind Wang Xiaoran, he crossed his fingers with his hands, and then quickly flipped his hands, turned his index fingers forward, and his thumb cooperated with his middle finger and ring finger to quickly draw patterns on both sides of his index finger, and these patterns were connected together, just forming the appearance of a white lotus flower.
When the white lotus pattern appeared, the sea water in the valley formed a column of water the thickness of a bowl like a dragon absorbing water, and it rotated in a clockwise direction towards the lotus pattern drawn by the old man's two hands.
As soon as the thick water column of the bowl touched the lotus pattern drawn by the old man's hands, it was like entering a bottomless pit, and he could only see it in and out.
In less than ten minutes, all the sea water in the valley was absorbed by the old man into the lotus pattern drawn by his hands.
When all the seawater is absorbed into the lotus pattern, the old man pushes the lotus pattern into the sky, and tens of thousands of white clouds suddenly cover the entire valley, with the blue sky, forming a fresh and refined natural feng shui painting.
After doing all this, the old man quickly grabbed Wang Xiaoran's shoulder with his left hand, twisted Wang Xiaoran's body to his side, and then grabbed Wang Xiaoran's shoulder and jumped, Wang Xiaoran only felt the wind whistling in his ears, and then saw himself and the old man landing steadily on the ground of the valley.
As soon as the two of them landed on the ground and stood firmly, the heavy iron gate that separated the valley from the prison guard's work place "boom!" opened, and a neat line of prison guards rushed out, trotting in front of the two of them, standing straight.
"Cao Yuanbai, the director of the special prison for serious offenders, and all the prison guards, a total of 58 people, have seen the chief. The prison warden, who was standing at the front of the line, stepped out and respectfully gave a military salute to the old man.
"Well, yes, the spirit of the team is all good, it seems that there is a lot of practice on weekdays, and I am not lazy, about this natural disaster, I will report to the above truthfully, don't worry too much.
Also, starting today, there will be one less prisoner in your prison, and that is this young man next to me, who will leave with me to do some secret things for the state. The old man nodded to the prison warden, then patted Wang Xiaoran on the shoulder vigorously, and said to the prison warden with a smile.
If Wang Xiaoran didn't understand that the identity of the old man beside him was not ordinary at this time, then Wang Xiaoran would be a complete fool.
"Yes, from today onwards, all the information of the prisoner Wang Xiaoran in the special prison for serious offenders will be destroyed and deleted, and there will be no longer the existence of Wang Xiaoran, but the files of the court about this little brother of Wang Xiaoran need to be handled by you personally, sir. The prison warden first assured the old man to complete what the old man had ordered, and then his tone changed, saying that they could not do anything about the Wang Xiaoran file kept by the court.
"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to take care of your own affairs, as for the court's record on this little brother, I have already sent someone to retrieve it.
The technicians who came with me should have already repaired all the systems here, so you can check it later, and if there are any missing repairs, tell them and let them fix them. The old man instructed the prison wardens to spread out and go back to check if there were any leaks in the system, and then pushed Wang Xiaoran's back to the heavy iron door.
Wang Xiaoran was pushed forward by the old man like this, through the heavy iron gate, and came to the place where the prison guards lived and worked on weekdays.
The place where the prison guards live has a total of three floors, and the environment inside is very simple, except for a medium-sized monitoring room and a large medical room, there is only a canteen and a reading room, and the rest are all bedrooms where the prison guards rest, and it is also the place where the prison guards handle their work on weekdays.
Passing through the place where the guards usually lived, at the end of the other section there was also a thick iron gate as the inside, which was now also opened.
After the old man took Wang Xiaoran all the way out of the heavy iron gate, which was considered the gate of this prison, he pulled Wang Xiaoran onto a small speedboat parked at the door.
"Sail the boat. After Wang Xiaoran sat down face-to-face with the old man, the old man ordered to the middle-aged man standing in the driver's seat of the small speedboat.
After receiving the order, the middle-aged man twisted the key inserted in the start switch of the speedboat, and while refueling the small speedboat, he steadily adjusted the direction of the small speedboat.
The speeding small speedboat lifted a large amount of seawater, and the lifted sea water was scattered with the wind, and the rain and mist hit the faces of the three people, giving people a refreshing and refreshing feeling when the spring flowers were blooming.
"What can you talk about now?" Wang Xiaoran looked at the empty sea below, and asked the old man opposite.
"First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Xiang Pingfan, my cultivation is in the early stage of Shenrong, and I am currently the leader of the Hidden Outer Gate. The old man did not tell his identity.
It turned out that this old man named Xiang Pingfan was Xiaokui's direct boss before, and after receiving Xiaokui's call, Xiang Pingfan thought about it and it was better to go out to confirm this matter himself.
If there was really a cultivator who was crossing the tribulation, those of his subordinates might not be able to make the other party feel tempted and join their organization.
There are two possibilities for cultivators to cross the tribulation, one is to cultivate to reach the divine realm, at this time, each realm needs to forge the energy in their own body through the heavenly tribulation, and the masters of this kind of cultivation are not qualified to talk to each other except for themselves.
The other is Wang Xiaoran, a supreme genius who has attracted the Heavenly Tribulation before the Divine Realm, this kind of genius who has already stepped into the ranks of great power with half a foot, in addition to meeting the same genius as himself, he will let go of the arrogance in his heart, only when he meets a senior like himself who can temporarily crush them with one hand.
It is very clear what kind of people the members of his group are ordinary, and the highest cultivation is only hovering between the middle and late stages of the pregnancy pill, and whether or not he can break through to the divine realm in this life depends on the ordinary assets of creation.
No matter what kind of person the catastrophe is, it is not something that his team members can deal with, considering all kinds of circumstances, Xiang Pingfan decided to go out in person.
"Oh, forgive the juniors for being unreasonable, the juniors have never heard of the hidden door, and I don't know what kind of existence this hidden door is?
I kept criticizing in my heart: "Who are you, what does it have to do with the master? Seeing that you are old and still have such long hair, who knows if you are a dead pervert, you will not look at the handsome appearance of the master, what do you think of the master?"
And what kind of hidden door, the master has lived for so long, what Kunlun Mountain, Emei Mountain, Kongtong faction, Maoshan Mountain, Shushan and other sects, which one is not clear, even if the Pangu god who was not clear before has also been popularized by the master, I have never heard of the hidden door you mentioned, maybe it is a criminal organization that abducts and traffics children. ”
"Huh. Xiang Pingfan glanced at Wang Xiaoran meaningfully, as if he had heard all the words that Wang Xiaoran had criticized in his heart, and Wang Xiaoran was frightened for a while.
"What are you nervous about?" I heard the warden just now say that Xiaoyou's name is Wang Xiaoran, right? I don't know if Xiaoyoujie doesn't mind the old man calling you Xiaoran?" Xiang Pingfan smiled, calming Wang Xiaoran's nervous emotions while trying to ease the relationship between the two.
"It's okay, let's call it. Wang nodded carelessly.
"Okay, Xiaoran, you haven't heard that it's normal for our hidden sect to be hidden, since the cultivation world experienced a shocking battle five million years ago, the cultivation world's major sects have once been in a state of flux.
However, the cultivation world has its own standards for the cultivation world, and even if this phenomenon occurs, there is still no sect to recruit disciples in the secular world, this is to prevent the cultivation world and the secular world from being in close contact, which will lead to the unity of the two worlds, and at that time, there will definitely be a melee that cannot be stopped for a long time.
On the one hand, in order to avoid the occurrence of a scuffle, and on the other hand, in order to prevent the continuation of the situation of the sect's lack of success, the hidden gate was established at that time.
The Hidden Sect is an alliance organization established by the top ten sects in the cultivation world, plus thousands of small and medium-sized sects, mainly responsible for moving around the world, secretly recruiting some talented disciples to replenish fresh blood for the cultivation world.
After a long period of development, the current Hidden Sect has become a bridge between the secular world and the cultivation world, in addition to recruiting some talented disciples to be sent to the various sects in the cultivation world to practice, it also solves some troubles that the country cannot handle, such as ghosts and ghosts, or cultivators from other countries entering the country to make trouble.
The state helps us collect all kinds of cultivation resources in the secular world, and then send them to the cultivation world by our hidden disciples.
The reason why I found you is because the scene of your previous catastrophe was reported by the people in the prison, and I guessed that you should be the kind of genius who has no sect and no sect and cultivates on your own, and I can't help but have the idea of recruiting in my heart, I don't know what you think?" Xiang Pingfan gave a rough introduction to the history of the Hidden Gate, as well as the purpose of his coming here.
"What if I don't agree?" Wang Xiaoran's first consideration was to refuse.
"I will send someone to send you to the cultivation world, and in the future, without a pass, you will not be allowed to return to the world, after all, the destructive nature of cultivators is too strong, and we can't take the slightest risk. Xiang Pingfan bluntly told the consequences of refusal.
"If you don't join, you will send me to the cultivation world and not be allowed to come back, such a cruel punishment, if I join, what is the substantive reward?" Wang Xiaoran directly regarded the fact that he was not allowed to come out of the cultivation world as a punishment for refusal, and immediately asked about the benefits of agreeing.
"There is no benefit, if it is really calculated, it is nothing more than that you can enter and exit the cultivation world and the secular world at will, and then you will have the qualification to listen to the powerful preaching of the cultivation world once a year, of course, as long as you don't do anything that endangers the country in the secular world, you can have the right to kill some people who should be killed first. Xiang Pingfan said the rights obtained by joining the Hidden Door Society.
After speaking, Xiang Pingfan looked at Wang Xiaoran silently, waiting for Wang Xiaoran to give him an answer after thinking about it clearly.
To be honest, Wang Xiaoran was not at all interested in what Xiang Pingfan said about the qualifications to listen to the powerful preaching, his mind was full of the cultivation experience and perception of the top power of the Pangu Great God, and he didn't know how much stronger it was than the great power of those cultivation worlds, he just needed to digest those experiences and insights into his own.
However, Wang Xiaoran was extremely interested in the last two things that Xiang Pingfan said, he had only heard Pangu say some things related to the cultivation world before, Wang Xiaoran had not experienced it firsthand, and he still wanted to see the scenery and people of the cultivation world in his heart.
There is also the fact that you can carry out a reasonable first cut and then play in the secular world, which is simply to get a license to kill yourself, and if you see some bullying men and women in the future, you can step forward and stop it without any scruples.
The most important point is that Wang Xiaoran thought that he could also use this identity to take his parents to him, and then settle down in the cultivation world, so that they could first adjust and improve their bodies in the environment of the cultivation world, and it would also be convenient for Wang Xiaoran to find two exercises suitable for their cultivation in the future, and pursue the path of immortality.
"Okay, I agree to join, but if there is no need, I won't help with any time-wasting things like running errands, and my time will be spent on my own cultivation. Although he was very satisfied with the conditions given by Xiang Pingfan, Wang Xiaoran still resisted the impulse in his heart and made a request.
"Of course, we are not small workers, we have to do everything, and everyone stays in their own places to cultivate on weekdays, and only when there is an urgent task, everyone will be gathered.
Now that you've agreed to join us, you'll have to go ashore, and when we get ashore, there's a helicopter waiting for us on the shore, and we'll follow the helicopter to Kyoto, and when there, I'll introduce you to a companion and she'll tell you about it. Xiang Pingfan was very satisfied with Wang Xiaoran's attitude, if Wang Xiaoran didn't mention any conditions, with his years of experience in dealing with officialdom, he also had to worry about whether Wang Xiaoran would deliberately attract their attention, in order to join them in the hidden door and implement some ulterior plans.
