Chapter 133: The Underworld's Claim Card
Long Qitai left the room, and Shao Xi sat there alone, taking the glove out of his arms again and looking at it over and over.
"It's really strange, I can't tell what material it's made of, is there any advanced technology or unknown material in this world? This looks more powerful than the Xishu gold silk and the South China Sea black shark tendon used in the 'soft gold winding', and this texture is almost invisible, but it looks like leather gloves. ”
Shao Xi was studying there with gloves, and Lao Wu pushed the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, Lao Wu saw the gloves in Shao Xi's hand at a glance, stepped forward and snatched them, and watched carefully and repeatedly under the light.
"This is the glove that I wore when I took your sword tonight, right?"
"Yo! The old guy is very knowledgeable! I know it's a good thing, but I don't know if you can tell what this glove is made of? ”
Lao Wu glanced at Shao Xi with disdain, and said disdainfully: "Do you think I'm a dirt bun like you?" This glove is made from the skin of the Dragon Horned Lizard of the Western Regions, which is much stronger than the soft armor on your body and the fan in your hand. The skin of this dragon horned lizard was originally extremely hard, and it could not be directly made into gloves, but it could be made into armor, but unfortunately there were too few dragon horned lizards, too rare, and some people could not meet one in their lifetime in the desert. ”
Shao Xi heard Lao Wu say this, and became interested for a while. Hurriedly asked, "Then tell me quickly, what is this dragon horned lizard?" Why are gloves made of its leather so strong? ”
Lao Wu put the glove on his hand and grabbed it a few times, as if he was feeling the flexibility and fit of the glove.
"This dragonhorned lizard is a rare and mysterious spiritual creature in the Western Regions, because it has a hard object shaped like a dragon's horn on its head, so it is called a dragonhorned lizard. Its skin is harder than steel, and if it is made of armor and worn on the body, it is truly invulnerable. It's a pity that this dragon horned lizard is rare in a hundred years, and even if it encounters ordinary people, it can't be subdued, let alone killed. This glove is made of the belly skin of the dragon horned lizard, because the skin of the belly is softer, it is easier to draw into threads, and the toughness is excellent. Wearing this glove will not hurt you in the water, fire, or boiling hot oil. Such a good thing fell into your hands, and you kid got it this time. ”
When Shao Xi heard that what he had obtained was a rare treasure, he was immediately excited. Since coming to Daliang City, he has found that his luck has become better and better, and he can always get something good that he has never seen or even heard of.
In addition to being excited, Shao Xi seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly reached out and took out something from his arms and threw it in front of Lao Wu.
"Help me see what this is? Where did it come from? How to find them? ”
Lao Wu put down his gloves, took the things that Shao Xi threw over in his hand, looked at them, raised his hand and threw them back to Shao Xi.
"Where did you get the Ghost Emperor's Mansion waist card? I advise you not to have anything to do with these people, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, and don't make a fuss for yourself when the time comes. ”
What Lao Wu said is Shao Xi's knowledge blind spot.
Shao Xi asked helplessly: "This is found from the envoy of the White Night Kingdom, tell me what kind of place this Ghost Emperor's Mansion is?" Why stay away from these people? ”
Lao Wu shook his head, sighed and said, "Why do you always provoke these people who are not human, ghosts and ghosts?" This Ghost Emperor's Mansion is a sect in the rivers and lakes, and it is dedicated to the Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions and the Ten Palaces of Yama. The rules of the Ghost Emperor's Mansion are strict, and the whereabouts of the people in the mansion are secret, and they are haunted, and they do not interact with secular people on weekdays. The masters in this sect are practicing some evil martial arts, the exercises are weird, the moves are ruthless, and they never need a reason to kill, they just say that the time has come, accept people into the house, you better stay away from them. ”
It's okay not to say this, when Lao Wu said this, Shao Xi became interested instead.
"Where is this Ghost Emperor's Mansion? I'd love to check it out. Also What is this waist tag for? Is it used to enter the Ghost Emperor's Mansion? ”
As soon as he heard Shao Xi say that he wanted to go to the Ghost Emperor's Mansion for a visit, Lao Wu almost turned his back on his anger all of a sudden. The heart said, why is this child so uneasy? The more he doesn't let him provoke anyone, the more he wants to provoke anyone! The more he is not allowed to go, the more he will go!
"Are you kid out of the blue? Is this ghost emperor's mansion something you can go to if you say you can go? Even if you go, you may not be able to get out, a place where the soul is locked, what are you running there for? ”
"Let's investigate! This envoy of the White Night Kingdom has the brand of the Ghost Emperor's Mansion on his body, and he must have something to do with the Ghost Emperor's Mansion, so I naturally want to find out what the relationship between the Ghost Emperor's Mansion and this envoy is. What is his intention as a foreign envoy to contact the Central Plains Martial Arts Sect? ”
Lao Wu shook his head and muttered, "You kid is really not worry-free, the investigation has found the head of the Ghost Emperor's Mansion, and the 'impermanent judge' Shen Buchang is not a character you can afford to provoke now." ”
"Is that 'impermanent judge' in your mouth Shen Buchang very powerful? How many products does he have now? ”
Glancing at Shao Xi, who didn't know the depth, Lao Wu teased: "How many products?" People are now 'Qi Transformation Realm', do you say it's powerful? ”
"Uh——! You just thought I didn't say anything. ”
I have to say that Shao Xi has just been promoted to the fifth grade recently, and he really feels that he is a little floating, and now that he has been scolded by Lao Wu, he can be regarded as clearly realizing the gap between himself and the master.
However, Shao Xi was still a little unwilling, and continued to ask Lao Wu, "Can you tell me more about this Ghost Emperor Mansion?" And what exactly is this sign for? ”
Lao Wu took off the wine jug on his waist, took a sip of wine, and said slowly: "This ghost emperor's mansion was first just some good men and women on the rivers and lakes who often went to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva, and I don't know when such a mysterious sect was formed, and the Bodhisattva did not worship anymore, but worshiped the ghost emperor of the five directions and the ten halls of Yama, and no one in the rivers and lakes knew what they had experienced. For so many years, no one has ever known who their leader is, this person is extremely mysterious, and has never shown up in the rivers and lakes, but it is this 'impermanent judge' Shen Buchang under his hand who has a prominent reputation in the rivers and lakes, the exercises are mysterious, the moves are weird, and a judge's pen makes it supernatural, and it is said that few people in the rivers and lakes can leave alive in front of him. He also has six masters under him, they are 'Lechuan Hesuo' Qin Chuan, 'Nai He Qiaofei' Liu Naihe, 'Sansheng Shijun' Shi Yong, 'Flower Fairy on the Other Side' Hua Qianhui, and two other black and white impermanence who often go out to do things for him, 'black impermanence' is called Tong Fang, and 'white impermanence' is called Gao Jiang, these people are also somewhat famous in the rivers and lakes. ”
Shao Xi was stunned when he heard this. Boy! There are still people in this world who let people go wrong and want to run away to be ghosts, which is really an eye-opener!
"This person is not human, what does the ghost sect do on weekdays? I don't believe they don't need to eat. ”
"Kill! As long as the price is enough, they will kill everyone, from the emperor to the baby, and only recognize money and not people. ”
"Damn, isn't that a well-organized killer group? And there is no bottom line, there is no professional ethics. ”
Lao Wu said in a mocking tone: "The bottom line? Personal integrity? has already been mixed up to kill people for a living, what kind of bottom-line ethics are you talking about? However, they attach great importance to their reputation in the rivers and lakes, as long as they receive money, they will never die, it is the king of Hades who wants you to die in the third watch, and will never leave you until the fifth watch. ”
Shao Xi shook the sign in his hand and continued to ask, "Let's talk about it now!" What is this brand for? ”
"This brand is called the Death Calling Card, and only those who hold this card can enter the Ghost Emperor's Mansion and talk to the 'Impermanent Judge' Shen Buchang about the business of killing. If you don't have this card, no matter who you are, you will die when you enter the house, even if it is the king of heaven. ”
Shao Xi asked with some puzzlement: "Doesn't the imperial court know that there is such a murderous ghost nest?" Why don't you send troops to exterminate them? ”
Lao Wu was amused by Shao Xi's question, and said teasingly: "The rivers and lakes are so big, there are many sects, if you send troops to exterminate them if you don't agree with each other, then the soldiers under the Holy Lord must not be busy to death?" Besides, over the years, although they have occasionally come out to make trouble, they have not threatened the society of the country, and the court is stable, so naturally they have turned a blind eye. ”
Shao Xi fell into deep thought at this time.
Lao Wu is indeed right, the saint is worried about the world's major affairs, and he has no time to pay attention to the trivial things in the rivers and lakes, but the current things don't seem to be so simple.
This unforbidden killer organization has a connection with the envoys of the White Night Kingdom in the business of killing, otherwise the envoys would not have this life-seeking card in their hands.
And this envoy has some kind of relationship with the black-robed man, according to the current speculation, the black-robed man is very likely to want to create chaos around the Jingyuan Empire, so as to take advantage of the chaos to seize the imperial power. In this way, will the current saint Xiao Changyi also become the next target of this killer organization?
To put it simply, it is to collude with neighboring foreign states to provoke wars around the Jingyuan Empire, and then take the opportunity to bribe the killer to organize the killing of the king and seize the throne. After the seizure of power was successful, a truce was made on the terms negotiated in advance for the surrounding foreign states, so as to appease the internal civil and military officials and local people, so that their seizure of power became reasonable and legitimate, and they could take the opportunity to be respected as orthodox.
Shao Xi thought of this and told Lao Wu his thoughts, and Lao Wu was also shocked when he heard it. Unexpectedly, in this power struggle in the court, some people have begun to borrow the power of the rivers and lakes.
"Lao Wu, according to your experience in the rivers and lakes for so many years? Do you think this Ghost Emperor Mansion has the ability to enter the palace and assassinate the saint? ”
Lao Wu shook his head and said slowly: "It's impossible, the forbidden land of the palace is heavily guarded, even if you are a top master in the rivers and lakes, it is wishful thinking to want to enter the palace and assassinate." You have to know that the guards in the palace are already at the realm of six or seven grades, and the commander of the guards has reached the ninth grade, if anyone wants to assassinate the saint, they must choose when the saint leaves the palace. ”
Hearing Lao Wu's words, Shao Xi felt a little relieved. Because if the estimate is good, if they want to assassinate the saint, they will definitely be in the chaos around Jingyuan Kingdom.
But at the moment, there is no sign of this.
