Foreword: Phantom, come without a shadow, go without a trace, murderous like hemp. A group of ultimate killer assassins that have existed for a hundred years.

Body:

"Spirit Master, the life of the idle cloud and wild crane is over. Gu took the letter in his hand and said worriedly.

When Gu said such a thing, he had to start from before.

Zhao Lu is Gu's fellow senior brother, both of them are learning the method of controlling spirits under the ancient sect of the old spirit master Qiu Dao, Zhao Lu is smart, and the art of controlling spirits can be learned once you learn it. And Gu is different, his qualifications are extremely poor, and he is an orphan with no father and no mother picked up by the old spirit master.

Zhao Lu went down the mountain five years before Gu, although Zhao Lu was a few years older than Gu, but Gu never called him a senior brother. Even when the two of them might say goodbye forever before going down the mountain, he didn't open his mouth at all.

Despite this, Zhao Lu regarded Gu as his own brother from the bottom of his heart. Before going down, love and love.

Later, when Gu was traveling with his master, he strayed into the realm of the evil spirit "Gu" on the shore of the pure water lake on the night of the full moon, causing blindness in his right eye. Gu's previous name was "Empty World", which was given by the old spirit master, which means that he lives alone in the human world, and has no concern about the world. After Gu's right eye was eroded by the evil spirit "Gu", the old spirit master sighed and said: "This is your fate, overnight, your hair turned completely white, this is all caused by the evil spirit 'Gu' eroding the essence in your body, in the future, every three days you will drip spirit wine into your right eye to reduce the erosion of Gu." In the future, you and I will not be able to retreat and cultivate in the same place, I will take you everywhere, the evil spirits in your body will not let you be comfortable in a certain place, once you live in one place for a long time, they will gather the spirit group and disturb the order of the spiritual world. ”

Therefore, because the evil spirit Gu, the boy who was originally called the empty world, changed his name to Gu, the master said to him, "You must always remember the harm that the evil spirit has done to you, and don't make the same mistake again." ”

Maybe it's because of the influence of evil spirits, or maybe it's because the activities of traveling are suitable for Gu, Gu's nature is like being liberated, and the art of controlling spirits is getting easier and easier to master. His master often sighed: "Is it really as the world says: 'One thing descends one thing'?" ”

For another three years, Gu's Spirit Guarding Technique was becoming more and more sophisticated, and even surpassed his ancestor in many aspects of his Spirit Commanding Ability.

Two years later, the first master died of illness, before the master died, he handed over the wooden box that he had carried for fifty years to Gu, and said: "There is an ancient copywriting record about the spirit, and when you encounter an incomprehensible spirit in the future, you must often read it and review it at all times, in addition, there is also the Taoist Supreme Zhuang Zhou Baojian 'Yunmeng' in the wooden box, I have been seen by you when I was driving the Vermilion Bird, and you must make good use of this spirit sword in the future, it will have a great effect." You have followed me for more than ten years, and our master and apprentice are also fate, if there is a soul in the world, the master will become a grass and tree in your journey, guarding you, so, apprentice, don't be afraid of loneliness. ”

After speaking, he swallowed.

After that, Gu embarked on a journey of solitude in the true sense of the word.

Three months ago, Gu was in an inn and accidentally met his senior brother, Zhao Lu. Zhao Lu was with a group of companions, and it was estimated that he got along very well with the spirit master named "Ziran", and Gu also listened to the legend of the spirit beast White Tiger told by "Ziran".

However, today, when Gu saw the letter in his hand, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Above the rivers and lakes, a mysterious organization has appeared, they are probably a killer organization that exists against spirit masters, for those small teams of spirit masters and lone spirit masters, they will be the first to take the target, and take away the spirit wine. Their purpose for doing so is unknown, but all spirit masters should be vigilant and not be targeted by the killer organization. The day before yesterday, Zhao Lu, one of the eight protectors of the Spirit Master Sect, was assassinated, and the wounds were all over his body, as if he was killed by thousands of sharp needles pierced into his body, and the spirit wine he was carrying was stolen. Being killed by others as one of the eight protectors of the Spirit Master Sect shows that the opponent's martial arts are extraordinary. All spiritual masters, I hope to be more careful. - Soul Master's Gate"

After Gu finished reading the letter, his body froze there, after the death of the master, Zhao Lu was the only relative who existed in the world, and now even he was gone, which made it difficult for Gu to accept, he really became a helpless person.

However, Gu was determined to find out the murderer, find out the cause of Zhao Lu's death, and give a clear explanation for him, for himself, and for his master.

Sometimes, the more people want something, the more they can't get it.

This sentence was especially suitable for Gu, who repeatedly inquired about Zhao Lu's case in the next month.

It's just that no one knows.

Gu decided to go to the Spiritual Master Gate, a huge gathering place formed by the Spirit Master

The Spirit Master Gate is a huge organization that exists to facilitate the gathering and exchange of spiritual masters, as well as the exchange of items. At the same time, in order to facilitate the maintenance of order, the Spirit Master Sect has set up eight Dharma protectors, each of whom has its own code name, namely: Open, Rest, Life, Injury, Du, Jing, Shock, and Death. It is based on the Taoist study of "Eight Doors Dunjia", which evolved. The eight Dharma Protectors are all Spiritual Masters who have a certain degree of cultivation openly selected by the Spirit Master Sect. According to the order of the eight protectors, the higher the level from left to right, the higher the level, the stronger the spirit control technique controlled. Moreover, the eight protectors can unite to launch the Eight Dunjia Array, which is called "the ancient thaumaturgy that has not been forgotten" by the spirit masters. The senior brother of the Gu dead, Zhao Lu, ranked fourth among the eight Dharma protectors, and was the fifth: Du.

In addition to the eight protectors, there are also four masters who guard the internal organization and stability of the Spirit Master Gate, and they are called Xuan, Zhu, Bai, and Qing. Refers to the four major divine beasts of the spirit world: Xuanwu, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Green Dragon. They are also known as the "Four Great Priests". These four people are usually with the head of the Spirit Master Sect, and it is more unusual for ordinary people to see them, because their news is relatively closed, rumors about them come and go, and everyone does not know their true strength. However, the guardian who can be the head of the Spirit Master Sect can only be stronger than the strength of the Eight Great Protectors, not weaker.

Finally, there is the current head of the management of the Spirit Master Gate: Qinglu. The head of the Spirit Master Sect is hereditary, and each head is carefully cared for by insiders from the beginning of his accession to the throne, and at a certain age, the unique secret art passed on from the previous head to the successor. Each master will have the strongest spiritual powers: he can sit indoors and know all that is happening in the spirit world, he can control all the mountain gods and give orders, and he can recognize all spirits and maintain the balance of the whole. In addition to the secret arts, the head of the Spirit Master Sect also has a powerful spiritual power to protect his own safety, which the world calls: one sword, two arts, and three beasts. One sword: refers to the head of Ou Yezi's famous sword: the seven-star sword. Two techniques: one is the gossip array, and the other is the technique of sprinkling wine into soldiers. Three beasts: earth beast - pangolin, heavenly beast - falcon, water beast - white dragon.

The trip took three weeks, and Gu came to the Xuanshan Realm, which was where the Spirit Master Gate was located.

As soon as he walked in, Gu was stopped by a man in white with a sword.

"Who are you? Why are you here? The first time I met you at the Spirit Master's Gate, I was very old-looking, and when I saw that you were ragged and rustic, you really have a treasure to exchange here? Seeing that you are young, how can you be born with gray hair? What a suspicious person. You, don't get inside!"

"Get out of the way!" Gu only said four words.

"Are you impatient, dare to yell at me, I'm going to beat you up today until you don't know who your name is!"

The man brought his sword.

Gu didn't move at all, but when he saw that there was a black aura coming out of his body, that aura was like thick ink, making people dare not approach.

The man came with a sword, and with only one blow, he staggered, and took more than ten steps back.

"Stinky boy, I have to kill you today. The man cursed and raised his sword as if he were about to perform a stunt.

"Eighth brother, stop, the Spirit Master Gate is a gathering place for all kinds of Spirit Masters, and everyone who comes and goes is a guest, how can you treat it like this. ”

A man flashed behind the man. is also white-clothed and holding a sword, but he is a little older than the previous one.

When the man heard the voice, his face was displeased: "Third Senior Brother, this person's actions are suspicious, I will arrest him, there is nothing that cannot be done, even if Senior Brother comes today, it will not help." Hugh is going to stop me. ”

Before he could finish speaking, five more people appeared beside him, all dressed in white and holding swords.

"Who just said that even me can't help?" The person who spoke seemed to be the oldest of the seven, he already had a beard, and the sword in his hand was also different, a strange sword with Taoist tools in front and a sword body in the back.

When the man heard this, he hurriedly turned around and said with a hippie smile: "Haha, it's the senior brother who is here, of course I listened to your words." ”

"I think, it's your third senior brother who is used to you every day, so you are so rude, you will go to the back mountain for me to record the copywriting later, and sharpen your temperament. ”

"Won't you, brother?" said the man with a sigh.

"Why, you want to punish you a few more times?" said the elder sternly.

"Don't go, master, I'll just write, just write. The man said resignedly.

"Don't retreat yet, standing in front of all the senior brothers, it's really not big or small, there is no ethical law!"

The man obediently retreated behind the crowd.

The anger on Gu's body also dissipated.

The elder walked up to Gu and asked, "Little brother, you are also a spirit master, right?"

Gu nodded.

"That's also for the Spirit Master Gate meeting?"

"No, I'm here to find out. Gu said.

"I wonder what the answer the little brother wants?"

"The case of Zhao Lu, the protector of the Spirit Master Gate. ”

Before the words were finished, the person who had just retreated to the back scolded loudly: "The matter of our Spirit Master Sect, it is not your turn for an outsider to intervene! If you mention my fourth senior brother for half a point, I will be the first to kill you!"

"Eighth brother stops. ”

"My senior brother, is it with the seven of you to form the Eight Dharma Protectors? Then why didn't you protect him well? "This is the first time in Gu's life that he has admitted that Zhao Lu is his senior brother.

"Your senior brother?" the man wondered. The six people behind him also didn't know what to do, and looked at each other.

"Sixteen years ago, I apprenticed with him under the ancient sect of Qiudao. ”

The person called the senior brother suddenly realized: "I heard the fourth brother say before, he also has a fellow junior brother outside, and he is probably talking about you." ”

"Exactly. I'm here to find out about the cause of my brother's death. Gu said resolutely.

"What's your name?" the man asked him.

"Spirit Master Gu. ”

"I've heard some spirit masters who come and go with the Spirit Master Sect mention it, and I heard that you are quite famous outside. Since it's the fourth brother's junior brother, I can tell you some things, but if you want to hear about it, it's inconvenient to communicate here, so let's go to the Humble House. ”

So Gu followed him to the inside of the Spirit Master Gate-the Spirit Protector Temple.

Gu sat down, and the other six people were ordered to return temporarily.

said: "You should have also received the letter, someone seems to have set up a killer organization, specializing in assassinating people from the Spirit Master Sect, they come without a trace, go without a trace, and have excellent martial arts." ”

"You can see them like that?" Gu asked.

"Nope. But from the wounds of the fourth brother, it can be seen that the opponent is strong, he has dense needle-like wounds all over his body, and each wound is a fatal wound that cuts into the skin and hurts the nerves, which is very accurate. Even if the fourth brother is still alive, his meridians are broken, and he will never be able to continue to live. ”

"Among the various spirit masters of the Spirit Master Gate, someone mentioned a mysterious organization, its name is Phantom, and Phantom comes and goes without a trace. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it was an assassin group that threatened the rule of the empire, and there were no less than 100 assassins in the organization, who were responsible for killing the capital Xianyao in order to disrupt the dynasty and oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Later, Emperor Kangxi sent elite swordsmen to kill them, and the phantom assassin group had been wiped out. But according to rumors, there are still eight people who escaped death, they are the demon, the owl, the earth evil, the heavenly evil, the ghost, the ghost, the dragon, and the spirit. These eight people are all people with considerable strength, the demon and the owl act alone, the earth and the heaven and the earth are accompanied by the two, the most terrifying is the ghost, the charm, the dragon, the spirit, these four people heard that they have an immortal body and excellent martial arts skills, the elite swordsman sent back then, was killed and injured by the four of them more than 100 people, because the four of them are like shadows, inseparable, and do many evils. The people of the time called them 'ghosts', and they were a great harm to the world. ”。

"The Assassins, the Phantoms, the Demons, the Devils, the Heavenly Evils, the Earth Evils, the Ghosts and the Spirits. Why did these assassins, who only targeted the glory of the capital, plot to murder the Spirit Master? And why did they retreat from the rivers and lakes for more than a hundred years, and now they have reappeared in the rivers and lakes? After murdering the senior brother, why did they steal the spirit wine? There must be some kind of attempt in this. Gu secretly guessed.
