Chapter 321: Shadow Delivery
But the man rarely vetoed his proposal. On the contrary, the man handed him another bright red jade plaque after that day, telling him that this plaque was more precious than the Xuan Emblem.
The name on it became his name. It was also from that day that "Thorough Sound" really became his name.
He still had the slightest suspicion of men at the time.
After having the "Xuan Emblem", the man let him go out occasionally to complete some things. At first, it was a little errand, but then it became more and more important.
He was still grateful to men, and he never hesitated to do this.
At that time, he thought that his life was saved by a man, and even if he was ruined, he would not regret it.
And so time flies. The man gradually began to go out often, and the tasks entrusted to him became more and more difficult to understand.
He has become sophisticated over the years, but he has never changed his childlike heart. Although each mission became more and more ruthless, his heart never stopped judging himself.
The man seemed to be perceiving his confusion. Finally on that night, the man's attitude towards him, made a decision.
It seems to be a very ordinary night. When he returned to the house, he saw that the man was already standing in it, waiting for him.
The relationship between the two gradually became cold and lonely, more and more like the stiffness of superiors and subordinates. Seeing him come back, the man didn't say anything to greet.
He told him to go out and do one thing as he pleased.
It was that incident that really plunged him into an abyss of no return.
He followed the man through the woods and mountains, and there seemed to be silence at night. The sound of the wind in his ears couldn't stir up the sound of the waves in his heart, his mind seemed to be out of his body, and the back in front of him seemed to be getting farther and farther away.
I don't know how long it took to walk, but the two came to the outside of a majestic pavilion.
The magnificent scene, the height of the skyscraper, made him secretly frightened in his heart, and he didn't know what the man planned to do.
However, men seem to be very relaxed. He even turned his head and told him not to rush, saying that it was just a small task.
He naively really believed the man's words. The man told him to hang upside down outside the seventh floor and hide, and when there was a noise in the room, he only had to throw a yellow broadknife into it, and it would be called a day.
He was still beating drums up and down in his heart. But he did. He couldn't really go against the man's will, and he even had a slight suspicion that it was just a normal task.
Now that I think about it, I was really hypocritically hypnotizing myself at that time.
He followed every step the man said. After throwing in the brass knife, he heard a commotion in the pavilion, and then a man appeared below, calling him to leave.
He was also a little afraid in his heart, so he hurriedly flew downstairs to leave. He didn't dare ask, but his heart was pounding, and he had a premonition that something terrible seemed to have happened.
Later, the news quickly reached his ears.
The world-renowned master of the Heavenly Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, the old-timer of the Chengfeng Dynasty, died tragically in the pavilion.
When he heard the news, his mind seemed to go numb instantly. It was as if five thunders had hit the top, he couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe that the rumored old-timers who fought against the calamity of the elves were actually killed by themselves!
He suddenly felt that the sky was dark, and his chest was so tight that he couldn't breathe. He killed someone, and he killed such a good man of high respect. It wasn't something he could do, and he was scared from the bottom of his heart.
The rivers and lakes are in turmoil, and people are panicking. Rumors that seemed to be true and false were flying all over the sky, and he suddenly felt panicked.
It was at such a time that the man came to pick him up.
Seeing the man's figure, he felt more and more hesitant.
The man reached out to him peacefully, as he had done when they first met.
But he didn't dare to take it. He gradually felt that this man was planning something, and there was a huge secret behind him, which he could not afford!
The man's expression was calm, and the sound of the commotion of the good deeds in the rivers and lakes was already heard outside.
The man told him that he couldn't live here.
They didn't do a clean job that night. In addition to the turmoil inside the Heavenly Array of Ten Thousand Swords, there was also a wave of people who really found their traces.
His mind felt utter hopeless at that point. There was no light in sight, and he seemed to be half-asleep, but finally listened to the man's words, killed all the trackers outside, and burned the former town to the ground.
The hot flames shone on his pupils, but they pierced his heart with a pain. He was in tears, but he didn't know what he was supposed to do right.
took the lives of hundreds of people in the town, and buried them together, in addition to the truth of that night, and his beating heart.
It was only then that the man confided in him. He pointed to the deerskin on his neck and the old scars all over his body, and told him little by little about the tragedy of hundreds of years ago.
He had the ability, but he couldn't save his loved ones. He's here for revenge now, and he's been planning for years, it's called, "Nine Shadows"!
The man told him a lot, and he listened submissively, as if he had listened, and then he seemed to hear nothing.
In the end, the man once again extended an inviting hand to him. Only this time, it was an invitation to him into the darkness.
He hesitated. But he still did not make up his mind to refuse. Looking back, he no longer has anyone to rely on, and only his benefactor is left in front of him, even if he repays his past kindness.
At that time, he only had the last thoughts about this man.
Subsequently, he began the future plan of this man who was honored as the "Shadow Master".
His identity was obscured, and in those years, he was a blur, like a machine on a mission. He didn't know day and night, he only knew how to complete the task, and wait for the day when the retribution came, and he could leave without any guilt.
He didn't care about the affairs of those colleagues. He crept into the shadows by day, and walked through the darkness by night, alone, and his heart was like ashes.
The only thing he had fun doing was sitting alone. After years of running, his hands are covered with blood, and his mind is dull, but he still occasionally thinks of the past and the strange chess players of the past.
Later, his tasks gradually became less and less. He had more time to face the chessboard, and his heart, sealed in blood and rust, was gradually taking on color.
He began to think. He thinks a lot, and in the long years he spends alone, he thinks a lot.
He never forgot the teachings of the strange chess player. Although he has been up and down for a hundred years, when he faces the chessboard, he gradually feels that everything back then is coming alive again.
As a result of his thinking, he felt more and more weird.
Looking at the black and white trend of the chessboard, he seems to have insight into a lot of secrets hidden behind himself.
