It's March again. The weather is getting warmer before you know it. A hint of delicate green gradually spreads in Suzhou. It makes this deserted city on the desert seem a little more angry.

Xuan Ming sat on a horse, wrapped in a black cloak, revealing only a pair of eyes, hanging low, as if he was about to fall asleep. The horse walked leisurely forward. The slender trail stretches through a narrow valley, and overhead is a small stretch of sky carved by the cliffs on either side, and bald eagles occasionally roar past. The further you go, the cliffs on both sides get closer and closer, and finally merge into one. There is a cave more than a foot high in the gap between the two cliffs. The horse stopped in front of the cave, and Xuan Ming jumped off the horse sideways, swept away the loess that had fallen on his body, and then untied the saddle and reins from the horse, patted the horse's head, and the horse turned and ran away as if he understood, stirring up dust all the way.

Xuan Ming turned around and glanced at the path where the horses had disappeared and walked towards the cave.

No one could have imagined that there was actually a cave inside the cave that looked like a beast's cave. After walking only a mile, you can see the light of the stars, and when you walk in front of you, you can see a spiral staircase made of wood, with wooden stakes deeply embedded in the stone wall, leaning against the unique structure of the cave, like a spiral to the top of the mountain. Underneath the spiral staircase is a bottomless pool, and the reflection of the dark and secluded water on the stone wall is mottled by candlelight, which looks more and more eerie.

Walking on the spiral staircase, the wooden partition creaks and reverberates through the cave like a lonely chant. At this time, if you look at the deep pool, you can find three dark golden characters reflected on the water surface, "Phantom Pavilion".

The Phantom Pavilion is the largest killer organization in the rivers and lakes. It is rumored that all the killers in the cabinet are orphans who have not been adopted, and they have been brought into the cabinet since they were children, and after brutal training, they finally become the top killers. In addition, the Phantom is cleaned every other year, starting with the orphans who have just entered the cabinet, and after a year of training, they fight their companions, and the winning side survives, and the losers sink into the deep pool under the spiral staircase.

There are a total of seven floors in the Phantom Pavilion, and the higher the level, the higher the residence. Every year, the winning killers can be moved to a higher level. Such cruel training has achieved the status of the Phantom Pavilion in the rivers and lakes, and it has also caused countless young lives to be buried under the deep pool.

The imperial court has repeatedly ordered a thorough investigation of the location of the Phantom Pavilion, but to no avail. No one could have imagined that the blood-stained Phantom Pavilion was hidden in the unattainable cliffs.

Xuan Ming went straight up the stairs, and when he passed the fourth floor, four boys in black tights were about to go downstairs, and the moment they saw Xuan Ming, they took steps back and stood in the stairwell, bowing their heads to show awe:

"Hello senior brother."

Xuan Ming didn't bow his head, and a sentence flowed out from under the cloak that covered his face, "Hmm." Out of the corner of his eye, he swept the boy standing beside him. However, the appearance of thirteen or fourteen has a heroic spirit that cannot be hidden between his eyebrows and eyes, and he also reveals a trace of fear. If he hadn't been in a place like the Phantom Pavilion, he would still be coquettish in his mother's arms. Xuan meditated and didn't feel a little sad, but after thinking about it, he was an orphan, and if he really left the Phantom Pavilion, he didn't know how many times he had died. In this way, there is nothing wrong with that. He continued to the top floor.

The room on the west side of the seventh floor is mysterious. He went to the door, and when he found it hidden, he stretched out his hand and pushed it open. There was a person sitting on the stone table by the window, who turned around at the sound of the door opening, Xuan Ming flashed sideways, and raised his hand to grab a silver needle that flew past his ear. Looking at the person on the stone table again, the long black hair was tied on the top of his head, leaving only a strand in front of his forehead, ironed next to his left cheek. Under the straight eyebrows, a pair of cold and cold eyes were a little more playful at this time, and the eyes were as sharp and presumptuous as usual, and the thin pink lips pulled a corner, stealing a little evil smile.

"You won't be able to do anything but the secret weapon." Xuan Ming raised the silver needle between his fingers and flew out, nailed to the wall of the inner room, and there were dozens of identical silver needles nailed next to it, either deep or shallow. "Jinse, when did you come back?" Xuan Ming asked, taking off the cloak that wrapped him, revealing the face that had been hidden for a long time. Under the sword eyebrows that flew into the sideburns, a pair of breathtaking Danfeng eyes showed a hint of coldness, and under the bridge of the nose that was as tall as an alien race, the light-colored and full lips were tightly pursed, revealing a majesty that could not be ignored. It was late afternoon, and the man's angular face was as delicate as a sculpture in the backlit environment.

The smile on the corner of the mouth of the person who was called Jinse became more and more intense, he jumped down from the stone table, walked to Xuan Ming with his hands behind his back, and raised his eyebrows: "It's been a while, and I won't see you when I come back." ”

Xuan Ming lowered his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, frowning unconsciously. Jin Se reached out and took the cloak and hung it on Mu Shi behind the door: "Who is it this time?" I didn't go through anyone else and directly invited you, the number one killer. ”

Xuan Ming shook his head and did not speak. Jin Se turned to look at him: "Can't say it again?" Nine times out of ten, I asked you and you didn't say anything. Xuan Ming was a little speechless, his brows furrowed even more, and only one sentence came out in the middle of the night, "I'm a little tired, can you go out first." ”

There was no inquiring tone, more like a command. Jin Se was stunned, didn't say a word, and turned to go out. The moment the door closed, Jin Se lost his mind for a moment, for twelve years, Xuan Ming has always been like this, cold, without too many words. He still can't forget it. Although cold-bloodedness is the nature of a killer, Jin Se still misses the former Xuan Ming more, the boy who stretched out his hand to him in the cold.

Just as he was thinking about it, a girl in a dark red leotard walked up to Jin Se and said in a low voice: "Second senior sister, there is a task." Jin Se came back to his senses and said a habitual "Hmm." So he went straight downstairs.

In the house, Xuan Ming sat on the bed in the inner room, took off his close-fitting clothes, revealing the skin of his upper body, the bronzed skin was healthy and firm, and he felt even more sexy wrapped around his strong muscles. The solid abdomen was wrapped in several rings of bandages, and it was mottled with blood. He's hurt.

When Jin Se asked her about the mission just now, he didn't know how to say it. The completion of this mission was not very ideal, he did not get rid of all the people in the list, although he hit the opponent's vital point in the last battle, but he was also hit by a poison dart, and the movement was too big for fear that it had alarmed others, so he hurried back to the cabinet. And the cabinet master also warned him not to disclose it to the outside world at this time when the task was issued.

Xuan Ming slowly untied the bandage and changed the dressing for the wound, and when the powder was sprinkled on the wound, he gasped in pain, gritted his teeth and cleaned off the blackened flesh at the wound, and then tied the bandage again. After processing, a fine layer of sweat has formed on his forehead. He lay on the bed, feeling his body tired like never before, gradually his breathing calmed down, and he fell asleep.

Jin Se followed the spiral staircase to the first floor, counted forty-nine steps along the edge of the deep pool, there was a copper pull ring at the edge of the deep pool, and pulled it upwards hard, and a small door three feet high would open on the wall behind the deep pool, and Jin Se bowed his body and entered.

The room is less than two feet square, and there is a brazier on each of the four walls, which illuminates the whole room. Jinse narrowed his eyes, trying his best to adjust to the sudden light.

"Jin Se •••••" A voice is calling in the depths of the light, and there is a majesty that cannot be ignored in the low voice.

Jin Se knelt down on one knee and clasped his hands into fists: "My subordinates are here." Listen to the Lord. ”

"The task is in the brocade box, and it needs to be completed within a month." As the sound ended, a cylindrical brocade box rolled in front of Jinse, with the texture of red velvet inlaid with gold wire, and a circle of piping inlaid with several red gems. Jin Se picked up the brocade box and hugged his fists again:

"Yes."

"Should I call you Chuchen? Hahaha•••" The voice continued to come from the depths of the light, and there was a little more laughter in the majesty. Jin Se was startled, then calmed down and replied:

"My subordinates understand." Get up and exit the room.
