The boy was a little surprised, because according to his understanding, this person should not have been here at this time.

"You went to see your target?"

The boy tilted his head and thought, "Yes." ”

The man smiled coldly, "You must know that it is not a good thing for the killer to be exposed in front of his own target. ”

The young man shook his shoulders indifferently and reached out to push open the wooden door of the small courtyard. Perhaps it was due to disrepair, and the door made a piercing creak, like a groan of pain.

"How do you know I'm exposed?"

He stood still behind the door, turned around with a smile, and looked at the man with a blazing gaze.

Half of the young man's body was hidden in a place that Bai Yueguanghua hadn't noticed, so the man could only see half of his appearance clearly.

However, just this glance made him gasp.

Hiss......

The young man in front of him was half bright and half dark, but his face was different from what he knew.

It was a face I'd never seen before.

is also a teenager, but the mouth, nose, eyebrows and eyes are not the same. The most important thing is that this face is obviously a little childish, and at first glance it is the kind of childish face that has nothing to do.

It's a terrible thing.

It wasn't until this moment that Hu Jiu knew that he really underestimated this young man named Xiao Xuan.

Maybe......

Even the name Xiao Xuan is not his real name.

His face was heavier than ever, and his expression looked a little complicated. Because thinking that he had worked with a person whose identity, name, and appearance were unclear for more than a month, how could he not be secretly frightened?

However, thinking of the thing he had entrusted, and thinking of all the things that had happened in the past month or so, all his complicated feelings turned into a wry smile, "This is what you are?"

Xiao Xuan touched his chin, the smile in his eyes was a little elusive, "It's not really important. ”

"How did you do that?"

On top of all the classics that Hu Jiu had seen in the past, changing his description was something that only a master of the Void Transformation Realm could do after learning supernatural powers. And such supernatural classics are also extraordinarily precious, firmly held in the library of the major sects or state religions, and ordinary practitioners have no access to them at all.

Is Xiao Xuan a master of the Void Realm?

Apparently not.

"In my hometown, it's called transfiguration, well, it's actually a skill that ordinary people can master. Xiao Xuan reached out and took off the mask covering his face, and played with it carefully in his hand.

I can't imagine that what I learned in the previous life can come in handy in this life.

Once upon a time, if given a choice, he would rather never use those things.

But if a person in the world lives a lifetime, who can live without a mask?

After a short period of shock, Hu Jiu finally put his mind at ease. He had a gut feeling that the young man in front of him didn't seem to be his enemy, so why should he worry? No one would want their enemies to be strong, but everyone wanted the stronger the one on their side, the better.

As soon as he thought of this, he felt a little emotional. The rarest thing in the assassin industry is to trust others, but he has only been with the boy for more than a month, and he already has the idea of being close to and trusting him.

"Since there is no order from above, I will naturally not get involved in your affairs, but the matter you asked me to inquire about has already been followed. ”

"The entrance test for Wufeng Yuan was two months later on the ninth day of April. ”

Xiao Xuan carefully put the mask into his arms, this thing was quite difficult to make, it would take a lot of effort just to collect the materials, and he didn't want to spend a few more months making another one.

Hearing what the other side said, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Aren't you talking nonsense, the people of Xuanyang all know that the entrance test of Wufeng Academy is held once every three years, and every time it is the ninth day of April of that year, just for such a worthless news, where do I dare to work for you?"

Hu Jiu glared at him, and said angrily: "Don't interject, I haven't finished my words yet!"

"On the ninth day of the fourth month, this is indeed something that everyone in the Xia Dynasty knows, but I heard that this time the entrance exam is a little different from the past. ”

"No Blade Courtyard's name is so loud, I don't have to give you a wordy explanation. In the past few years, every time the Wufeng Courtyard would hold an audition in the other courtyard in the north of the city, those old immortals in the sect would send one hundred and eighty disciples or elders from the inner and outer sects to come to choose, which was actually similar to buying two cucumbers. ”

"To put it simply, if people say you can enter, then you can enter;

Xiao Xuan frowned, but did not speak, motioning for the other party to continue.

"To enter Wufeng Academy, of course, the premise is that you must be able to practice, that is, you must have a natural soul, and the gang of people in Wufeng Academy will bring some soul sealing stones during the audition. ”

"Of course, some of the children who came out of the big clan are people who have already awakened in advance, and they entered the Wufeng Courtyard just to obtain better cultivation resources. ”

"Even those who have been practicing for many years have traveled thousands of miles to participate in this selection test. ”

"What do you mean by this time?"

Hu Jiu looked up at the sky, watching the bright moon passing through the clouds, and the brilliance pouring down from the sky, his mood was inexplicably a little heavy.

"In the past, there was only one round of the entrance test of Wufeng Academy, which was to touch and see, touch the soul sealing stone once, and then let those people in Wufeng Academy see if you have the qualifications to enter the mountain gate. ”

"But this time, I heard that after this round of auditions, the remaining people will go to Wanghai Cliff between Xuanyang and Tianhai County. ”

This time, Xiao Xuan's brows furrowed even tighter.

Wanghai Cliff is a mountain cliff that towers into the clouds and does not see people all year round.

This is not the most critical place, the key point is that there is a sea of trees at the bottom of the cliff that cannot see the end even if you stand on the top of the cliff, called Sanli Li.

Tianhai County and Xuanyang City are located in the hinterland of the Middle-earth Continent, thousands of miles away from the East China Sea and the South China Sea?

Looking at the sea and looking at the sea, what you look at is a sea of trees.

And three thousand miles, that is, the sea is really big and wide, whether it is really as long as three thousand miles, no one can say clearly, because there are very few people who can pass from one end of the sea of trees to the other side.

There are the remains of the Second National War of Qin and Xia.

Even if Xiao Xuan no longer practiced cultivation, he understood what the so-called word ruins meant.

When he heard that a small introductory test might have to be held at 3,000 miles, he thought it was something unusual. Xiao Xuan himself was not a cultivator, but he probably knew how much strength a cultivator in the Body Refining Realm could have. According to his understanding, Wufeng Academy recruits disciples, as long as they are mid-grade in body refining, they are ninety percent sure that they will be able to get started.

In other words, Wufeng Academy only needs to select the corresponding strength from thousands of applicants.

But that sea of trees, even for a cultivator who refines the body, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass through.

Hu Jiu looked at Xiao Xuan's expression and became a little strange, and said that the young man retreated, and had the heart to comfort him a few words, "You don't have to worry about anything, anyway, maybe you won't even be able to pass the first round, so naturally you don't have to go through that troubled water." ”

Xiao Xuan shook his head and said calmly: "I just think there is something strange in this matter, but I think that Wufeng Academy is one of the three major sects of my Great Xia Dynasty, so I shouldn't deliberately harm my people in Great Xia." ”

"You're still going?"

"Go. ”

The fifteen-year-old boy didn't even hesitate at all, and gently spit out the word.

The tall and thin middle-aged man scratched his head in confusion and said, "I don't understand, this little thing of cultivation really makes you so interested?"

Xiao Xuan smiled, and that smile was a little cold in the moonlight tonight.

"You don't understand my joy. ”

Hu Jiu obviously didn't understand Xiao Xuan's words again.

It's not the first time he's heard something incomprehensible from the other party since he became a partner with this quirky young man.

Moreover, the smile of the young man at this moment makes people feel elusive.

He glanced at Xiao Xuan deeply, turned around and disappeared into the dark night.

If you don't understand, you don't understand, it's better to go back to sleep and be happy.

Xiao Xuanmu sent him away, and his smile retracted.

In this world, there may really be no one who can understand themselves.

I don't belong to this world, so how can the world belong to me?

There is still an hour before dawn, and this moment is the quietest time in Xuanyang City.

Xiao Xuan sat by the well in the small courtyard, listened to the tireless insects in his ears, smelled the smell of the mud mixed with weeds in the night, and began to seriously consider some things.

It has been some time since he came to Xuanyang City from another county for some unspeakable purpose, but there has been no progress in that matter until today.

It may be difficult to kill a royal history, but in terms of difficulty, it is simply incomparable to that thing.

Kyoto is Kyoto after all, as the most central area of the Great Xia Dynasty, there are countless cultivators in Xuanyang City, there are several temples of the state religion, there are red horses and divine imperial eunuchs, and there are Wulinwei who defend the imperial city.

There is also a very tall white tower.

No matter which one of them is, it is tantamount to a fantasy if he wants to achieve that goal on his own.

Once he annoys those big people who don't appear in front of ordinary people, Xiao Xuan believes that the other party will never mind stretching out a finger to crush him.

So he needs to practice.

Many years ago, a man stood in front of him and showed him the way. If he had chosen to go down that path then, he would not have the troubles he has today.

But he was tired of the endless bloodshed and categorically refused.

Thinking about it at this time, he actually felt that he was extremely ridiculous at that time.

He didn't want to kill someone, but he became an assassin instead.

I didn't want to practice, but I had to practice at a time.

He lived in the darkness of Xuanyang City, carefully avoiding the eyes and ears of the eagle dogs of the imperial court, and every step he took, he needed to worry about whether the thin ice would collapse.

Sometimes he's an ordinary teenager, and sometimes he's a killer assassin.

When he needs to be a citizen of Xuanyang City, he is an ordinary person, and when he needs to kill someone, he is a ruthless killer. He maintains both identities and needs to convince himself constantly.

In many cases, only if you have deceived yourself, you can completely deceive those smart people.

The boy looked up in the middle of the night and saw the white tower standing quietly. No matter where you are in Kyoto, from every angle, you can clearly see this stone tower that has stood for many years.

Because after looking at the entire Xuanyang City, I can no longer find a taller building than the White Tower.

In Xiao Xuan's mind, this was a very strange thing, because no matter how powerful the state religion was, no matter how meritorious the pope was, after all, the Great Xia Dynasty was the property of the Murong clan, how could they allow such a thing to happen?

He had seen this white pagoda many times, but since he wanted to practice, every time he looked at it again, he couldn't help but feel some ripples in his heart.

Because the person in the White Pagoda now represents the highest peak of cultivation.

The white tower was very high, and the man was very tall.

Xiao Xuan thought like this, and something strange suddenly appeared.
