Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Yama Ghost Mission
The Twelve Ghost Missions of Yama, they are the twelve top killers in the mainland, and they are the real ghosts from the underworld. Because all the people who are targeted by them, whether they are princes or famous generals of the kingdom, they can't escape death, and there is a way that Yama will let you die in the third watch, and will never leave you until the fifth watch.
As the symbol of Yama, the clothes of the twelve ghosts will be embroidered with the word "ghost". And what makes the countries feel mysterious is that since the beginning of Yama's appearance on the mainland, there have been twelve, and only twelve, when one of the onicha dies, there will be "someone" to recruit a new killer to become a substitute for the onicha, this "someone" is the leader of Yama, but no one knows who this leader is, and what is the purpose of his creation of such a terrifying killer organization?
One year, the crown prince of the northern Di country was suddenly killed in the well-guarded palace, and the perpetrator was one of the twelve ghosts, and then the Di country sent five thousand elites to chase and kill the ghosts, but more than a month passed, and the five thousand chasing soldiers were actually one of them did not return, and the Di country was also because of the prince's problem, almost caused national turmoil, and the national strength was greatly damaged. For the fear of such a terrifying force, the vassal states no longer dared to provoke the Yama ghosts, and could only pray not to be targeted by them, which also made Yama the only legitimate killer organization in the Glorious Continent in a sense.
It's such a terrifying twelve, and one of them is in this house.
"The old man naturally has a way to invite the Yama ghost. The corners of Lou Yan's mouth were raised high, and it was a smug smile, "Vampire leech, you're useless." ”
As soon as these words came out, the leech's heart instantly cooled in half, and he hurriedly slammed his forehead to the ground, begging for a detour: "Patriarch Lou, please spare a small life, please give me another chance, I can assist Lord Onicha to complete this mission." ”
"Ghosts kill people and never need the help of outsiders. It wasn't Lou Yan who spoke, it was the ghost who was standing behind him, his voice was like a knife, like the cold winter wind, which made the listener shudder.
The vampire leech didn't dare to raise his head, lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Ghost, there is a man named Wu Jian among the people, his strength is profound, I am afraid that he has reached the level of sunshine, and the small one is afraid that it will ......."
"What if?" The vampire leech's words were not finished, perhaps he didn't dare to say the rest of the words, the ghost suddenly raised his head, and in an instant a biting cold spread in the room, and the air was filled with a strange cold that was different from winter, which was creepy, as if he had fallen from the human world to the underworld in an instant, and the ghost was even more piercing than the cold in the air, "Do you think he will be stronger than the ghost?"
In the deathly silence, the vampire leech's forehead was tightly pressed against the ground, not daring to answer the ghost question, Lou Yan's father and son held their breath even more, and they didn't dare to breathe.
After a long time, the ghost cha spoke, and said, "Okay, you can go with me, I will let you see the horror of the onicha, the person who the onicha wants to kill, he will definitely die." ”
The hanging heart fell heavily, and the vampire leech seemed to have walked in the underworld.
The ghost cha agreed, and Lou Yan didn't dare to refute, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Que Qing and his party have now arrived at Fengchou Mountain, thirty miles away from Wuxian City, you should set off now and kill Que Qing......"
"And Yang Ming. Lou Nan on the side did not forget to add.
Lou Yan nodded, his eyes pointed at the vampire leech, and the corners of his mouth showed a little sinister smile: "Yang Ming will be handed over to you, the old man believes that you will definitely let him get the punishment he deserves." ”
"The little one commanded. "Vampire leeches don't dare to disobey.
Hearing this arrangement, Lou Nan's little face couldn't help but show a satisfied expression, "Yang Ming, you are dead this time." ”
Lou Yan finally advised: "This time, you must take the pill in Que Qing's hand back to the world, remember that as long as the pill, the rest of the people will be killed except for the county lord Jiang Xin'er." ”
After all, Jiang Xin'er is the county lord of Jiang Country, and Lou Yan is still a little jealous. If the county lord dies, King Jiang will definitely not give up, in case King Jiang tracks it down, once the Lou family is found, the Lou family will be finished.
The ghost cha glanced at Lou Yan, his voice did not have any emotion, he just said, "Got it." Then the figure disappeared in a flash.
The vampire leeches didn't dare to have any doubts, especially when they saw the twelve ghosts of Yama. Before, the vampire leech had dealt with the Lou family for a few years, and he also knew the details of the Lou family, how could they invite the Twelve Ghost Messengers of Yama alone? Could it be that there are other forces behind the Lou family?
But he didn't have time to think about it, and he didn't dare to guess, and the vampire leech hurriedly followed the ghost and left.
When they left, another door of the room was pushed open, and a young girl stepped out of the inner room, and in an instant, the dark room was filled with a thin fragrance of magnolia flowers, if there was nothing, not strong, but very clear, as if a flower had bloomed in some corner of the room. Her steps are very light, and her name is Su Buying.
"Miss Su, everything has been explained according to your instructions, please tell Mr. An Shice, this time will definitely be successful. After seeing Su Buying, Lou Yan and his son immediately got up and saluted, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Su Buying walked in front of the father and son, and then sat down, she put her hand on the table, and on her wrist was a string of pure and clear green gemstone bracelets.
"Patriarch Lou, you should know that my stepfather and his old man attach great importance to this elixir. I also reminded you, don't act rashly first, and you dare to make decisions without permission, hire killers to rob drugs rashly, you almost ruined the good deeds of your father-in-law. As charming as before, her words still carried a thorn of non-anger and self-authority, which made Lou Yan's father and son's hearts tremble.
"Miss Su, I also wanted to get the pill for Mr. as soon as possible, but I didn't expect the vampire leech to fail. Lou Yan's attitude was even more humble, and he bent down again and again to say, lest he offend the other party. To be precise, it is the father-in-law who is afraid of Su Buying, the owner of Wuxian City, An Shice.
The Lou family was able to leap from an obscure medicine wizard family to the No. 1 medicine refining family in Jiang Country, and it all relied on An Shice's secret planning. In the past 12 years, the Lou family and Wu Xiancheng have maintained a cooperative relationship, An Shice used the medicine tasting conference as the pretext to gather medicine wizards from all over the world, and on the other hand, he secretly instructed the Lou family to kill people and seize medicine. After the matter was completed, the elixir returned to Wuxian City, and the Lou family also secured the name of the first refining family in Jiang Country.
The conspiracy arranged by An Shice, no one will be aware of his existence, and he can stay out of the matter perfectly every time, just because of the layout every time, An Shice will hide behind the scenes, manipulating those who are hungry for profit to serve him, just like playing chess, and the Lou family is his chess piece in this game.
The drug tasting conference is such a chessboard, how many medicine wizards risk their lives to become famous in one fell swoop, how many ambitious people are planning to seize medicine, and even kill people to take their lives, all of which cannot escape the word fame and fortune. And An Shice made a reason for this battle for fame and fortune, and then sat down next to the chess game.
One day before Que Qing refined the elixir and reincarnated in the world, An Shice had already calculated it, and then revealed the news to the Lou family, which led to the follow-up hunt and seizure of the medicine. It's just that An Shice ordered the Lou family not to act rashly for the time being, who knew that Lou Yan was greedy and sent killers without authorization, and after the failure of the first time to seize the medicine, he alarmed Que Qing. Later, news came from Wu Xiancheng, saying that Que Qing was not dead, and was escorted by Wu Jian and others. Fortunately, An Shice had a premonition of Lou Yan's failure and specially invited the Yama ghost messenger.
However, although the first time he failed to seize the medicine, but the news brought back from the killer, he stabbed Que Qing in the heart with a knife, and ordinary people would have died a long time ago, but Que Qing survived, which proves that the reincarnation refined by Que Qing can really bring people back to life, which strengthens Lou Yan's belief in killing people and taking medicine.
"Miss Su, my father originally planned everything, and he blamed that Wu Jian for ruining our big business, otherwise the elixir would have already arrived, and it would have been dedicated to Mr. Lou Nan hurriedly bowed forward, excused Lou Yan, and then put on a smiling face, and said flatteringly: "Not long ago, my father luckily bought three high-grade 10,000-year-old fire lotuses from Zheng Guo, which are the most life-prolonging elixirs, please dedicate them to Mr. An Shice, and there is also Zheng Guo's specialty incense, ambergris, which is given to Miss." Everything is already in your wagon. ”
Hearing this, Su Buying just raised her head lazily and simply glanced at Lou Nan, that's all, obviously, even if the 10,000-year-old fire lotus is a rare herb in the world, or if the ambergris is a rare spice to pay tribute to the Great Zhou Dynasty, on the black market, the price of one or two ambergris is at least worth a thousand taels, which is more expensive than gold, but this can't move her heart at all.
"Patriarch Lou bothered. He replied politely, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance in the air.
Lou Nan secretly glanced at Su Buying, that delicate face like a midsummer dream, releasing temptation all the time, making men's most primitive desires continue to surge like the sea, but Lou Nan had to force his inner thoughts, because the flower in front of him was beautiful but very dangerous.
"Where is it......" Lou Yan saw that Su Buying no longer blamed himself for his mistakes, and his mood naturally relaxed a lot, so his tone changed and asked, "I just don't know where Wu Jian came from, and he has such strength?"
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and Su Buying seemed to have some regret about this matter, "This is also the reason why my father-in-law specially invited Yama Ghost Messenger, because my father-in-law didn't know the origin of Wu Jian." ”
An Shice carefully planned this game of pill seizure chess, but there was a blind spot in his calculations, a blind spot that he couldn't see through, and that was Wu Jian. An Shice's pre-contemplative witchcraft can not only predict the future good and evil, the future rise and fall of the kingdom, whether tomorrow will be sunny or rainy, where there is a war, which medicine wizard has developed what elixir, but he also knows more about the mainland personnel, a person, he only needs to look at it, he can know everything about this person, his past, his strength, his identity and so on. But premeditation is not omnipotent, there are some things or people that cannot be predicted and known, that is, the world of the strong, the premeditative wizard cannot predict the strength of the strong who surpasses himself, let alone know their details, and Wu Jian is such a strong man. The appearance of Wu Jian made An Shice feel vigilant as he had never been, was his participation in this drug tasting conference accidental or deliberate?
"This Jiang Guo, there is still a strong man that Mr. doesn't know?" Listening to Su Buying's words, Lou Yan's face was shocked, and his words were also mixed with a little worry.
Looking at his stunned father, Lou Nan didn't care, "It's just a poor sour traveler with some ability, no matter how strong he is, if he encounters a Yama ghost, he will have to die." ”
Lou Yan nodded, as if unintentionally, "However, if you can invite the Yama Ghost Mission, does Mr. An Shice have any connection with that Yama?"
As soon as these words came out, Su Buying's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said with a serious face: "Are you looking into the details of your father-in-law?"
Knowing that he had violated the taboo, Lou Yan hurriedly knelt down on his knees, his body trembled, and he didn't dare to say more.
Su Buying glanced at him,
"You just have to do your own thing. There was no extra care, and finally explained a few words, Su Buying took advantage of the night to leave and rushed to Wuxian City, the medicine tasting conference was about to start, and she still had a lot of things to do.
It wasn't until a long time later that Lou Yan came to his senses, his face was still pale, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and Lou Yan felt a deeper feeling.
Mr. An Shice is an absolute mystery, unfathomable, and no one is allowed to touch it.
......
The mountain road is very uncomfortable, faintly making the young man feel a little scared, because Yang Ming has never climbed such a dead and silent mountain, the dense forest, rich like the ink on an ancient painting, so that the wind from the outside world swept here, but it stopped abruptly, and there was a dull and suffocating sense of depression suspended in the air, even if the wind could not blow the dullness and dead silence in the mountain, such a dense woodland mountain, is the wind sorrow ridge.
After entering a dense forest, a path that winds its way to the top of the hill can be seen in about half a day's walk to Witchham.
The more critical the last moment, the more nervous they become, for Yang Ming and them, this is the last dangerous journey, and similarly, for the enemy, this is also their last chance.
Wu Jian walked in the front, inspecting the road ahead, Que Qing followed closely behind, Xin'er and Lin Dong accompanied him respectively, and Yang Ming walked in the back to prevent someone from behind. The teenagers tensed their nerves, their ears and eyes, almost all their senses stretched to the limit, and they watched their surroundings vigilantly, moving forward in this cruciform fashion, walking on thin ice with almost every step.
The eerie tranquility is entangled in this path for a long time. The reptiles not far away, but for some reason, trembled and nested their bodies in the shade, not daring to make the slightest sound, as if their keen sense of smell had a premonition that something terrible was coming.
In the forest, Yang Ming glanced up at the sky, and the sun was already a little westward. At this moment, a faint transparent ripple in the air fluctuated imperceptibly, followed by a gust of wind.
The wind was sorrowful, and it actually blew into the wind.
As the wind drew closer and closer, there was a faint sound of strings in the silent forest, like the moment when an arrow flew away from a crossbow. At this moment, the feeling of danger instantly climbed into Yang Ming's heart, and Wu Jian, who was walking in the forefront, keenly smelled a strange breath, his face changed, and he shouted: "Get down." ”
Yang Ming, who was walking at the back, had quick eyes and hands, and immediately pounced forward, throwing Que Qing to the ground, Xin'er and Lin Dong also quickly leaned over, and a scythe-like wind brushed past the backs of several people. When Yang Ming raised his head, he saw a plain white flag standing in front of everyone, and the wind blew the flag, exuding an ominous atmosphere, as if the wind was blowing from the cemetery, bringing a smell of the dead.
Glancing at the white flag, Wu Jian's eyes immediately became serious, although he had already prepared for the worst in his heart, he still didn't expect that the killer who came this time would be the Yama ghost who made the mainland countries fearful.
