Volume 1: The Boy Shows His Edge Chapter 62: The Thread Has Risen
If Mu Qing is really a remnant, then naturally he has to use the remnants as bait, Bai Hao quickly chose the name in his heart, and said indifferently: "Zhang Anping." ”
"Zhang Anping?" Hou Yiyong was a little puzzled, and said: "This person has just come to the car shop for a day, I have investigated him, he has been going back and forth in the mud leg alley, and it can be determined that he has nothing to do with the old department of Lin Xiao's remnants, but when I observed him for a while, I found that there were not too many abnormalities in addition, he should be a marginal character, will such a bait not be enough?"
"Huh. Bai Hao shook his head, stared at the back of Hou Yiyong's buried head and whispered: "Do you know why I asked you to replace your boss and become the leader of the 'Incineration'? ”
Hou Yiyong didn't know that it was his words that angered the city lord, recalling the tragic ending of the boss, he couldn't help but bury his head lower, and said: "The siege in the sixth year of Tianjia should be the closest to the remnants of Lin Xiao's remnants, but because of the judgment of the previous incinerating leader, some of the other party escaped. ”
Bai Hao nodded, his tone gradually became cold, and said: "That Zhang Zhijing, speaking of which, is also a small fish in the information of your incineration, and what happened later? The little fish turned aside, tearing off the disguise and becoming a big fish, and it has only been twelve years, and you, the leader of the incineration, have forgotten?"
Hou Yiyong finally understood what he had done wrong before, and hurriedly remedied: "My subordinates don't dare to forget." It's just that his subordinates have this question, it's entirely because if Zhang Anping is really a person who knows the old things back then, he definitely won't expose Mu Qing, an extremely suspicious person, so easily, and he should hide the things that the other party stayed in Mud Legs Alley. ”
Bai Hao didn't want to analyze too many details or the twists and turns behind the appearance, he just relied on the intuition brought to him by the place "Mud Legs Alley", and the attitude that Lin Xiao's remnants could not be let go of the wrong killing, "Regardless of whether Mu Qing is a remnant or not, since this Anping has a fishy smell on his body, let them eat each other, wouldn't it be quite dramatic if they could recognize and kill each other?"
......
......
In Butcher Hu's private house, the three of them sat down casually in the glimmering room.
"After the death of the previous valley master, Murong Yun overwhelmed his brother Murong Yin with his cultivation at the peak of his thirture before he was thirty years old, and became the current valley lord of the hidden valley. It's just that since he announced to the outside world more than ten years ago that he was going to retreat and break through the realm, except for the five-person group that only obeyed the orders of the valley master, the power of the hidden valley has actually been held by Murong Yin."
Butcher Hu spoke for a long time, and his voice became even hoarse, which invisibly added a sense of solemnity and majesty to the content of his words.
He sighed and continued, "No one remembers how many years the Hidden Valley has existed in the Tiannan Swamp Forest, so once they lift the black robe on their bodies, I can't tell what they will look like. But there is one thing I always remember, a few of the ten assassins who were included in the Heavenly List like me disappeared or faked their deaths, and they were already in the Palm of the Laws and Hidden Killings. And there should be no shortage of Assassins like me who have been controlled after retiring. ”
"Palm Law Hidden Killing?" Mu Qing was slightly confused and looked at Butcher Hu.
Butcher Hu shook his head and said, "You are in the mountains, but you are blind, and it seems that you don't know much about the Hidden Valley. ”
Mu Qing said softly: "The core of power in the Hidden Valley is the valley lord and the four elders, the valley lord should be the strongest of the five, and the four elders are in charge of the first line. This is a superficial understanding of the younger generation, and I don't know much about the others. ”
Butcher Hu nodded, and said seriously: "This is just an approximation, if you subdivide it, the palm law is divided into three branches, the 'hidden vision' is specially responsible for collecting the information of these assassins from the hidden valley, and the 'hidden law' will learn about these situations, and will judge whether everyone is loyal according to the precepts of the hidden valley, and the 'hidden killing' is finally used to eliminate traitors." ”
After waiting for Mu Qing to digest for a while, Butcher Hu said slowly: "I have to mention that the lowest strength of the people in the 'hidden killing' is the cultivation of the third grade, and although these three grades are not as exaggerated as your third grade, they are also the 'hidden killing' that they entered because they killed the second rank." The people in the 'hidden vision' are all good at the body method, and they have all practiced the complete body method. ”
"Complete body method?" Mu Qingxing's eyes narrowed, and he only felt that many doubts in his heart would be removed today.
"Hmm. Hu Butcher said: "This complete body method, I will too, 'Shadow Floating' is only its first form, its full name is called 'Instant Concealment Technique', there are a total of five forms." ”
"It sounds a bit like the invisibility technique that Assassins must learn to get started. Mu Qing sighed: "I only heard that there is a third form of body method in Hidden Valley before, but I didn't expect that since there will be five forms, and I have only learned two styles by contact." ”
Hu Butcher sighed lightly: "What's the good thing about knowing, these exercises in the practice are the rope sleeves that Yingu uses to induce and control everyone step by step, the deeper you fall, the tighter the neck will be, and in the end, you will not be as lonely as me, or simply join the line of palm law and lose your freedom and become a loyal dog." ”
"Freedom~" Yue Jiuduan sat aside, Ling Qingzhu had already taught him the method of comprehension. For the rest of the day, he had been sitting quietly in the room, calming his psychic state.
When he heard this obviously harsh word, he opened his eyes and couldn't help but say with a little melancholy: "Listening to what you said, senior, when will the real freedom we want come?"
Butcher Hu calmed down and said, "If you want to truly break away from the Hidden Valley and gain absolute freedom, it is completely impossible to do it with our current strength. I chose to make a deal with you, in addition to your relationship with Wanhua Valley, and another important point is that I fancy your potential. ”
"Potential?" Mu Qing was a little worried about the path ahead, glanced at Yue Jiu, and then looked at Hu Butcher and said: "If it is said that it is to achieve a first-grade cultivation, Yue Jiu should be fast, but I feel that the avenue has not yet started, no, it should be that I am not sure about the avenue I have cultivated, and it is really hard to say how long I will wait......
Butcher Hu really didn't want to hit Mu Qing, but he still chose to throw the cruelest reality in front of the two of them, and said seriously: "The strength of Yipin is not enough at all. I think... It should be on top of the first product. ”
Yue Jiu remembered what Ling Qingzhu said in the forest, and asked suspiciously, "Above the first grade, there is really a realm?"
Mu Qingxing's eyes were flooded with brilliance, and he also remembered what Ling Qingzhu said, and said, "I remember that Mrs. Lin said that she had peeked into the Nine Grades of Lingsheng, did Lingsheng refer to the realm we are in now?"
There was silence in the room for a moment, and everyone was shocked by the scenery of the avenues they imagined, and Butcher Hu was the first to come to his senses and laughed at himself: "It is very telling that Murong Yun still chose to retreat after reaching the peak of the first grade. The three products are a natural watershed, the three products can only be regarded as a rough cultivation of martial arts, most of the so-called grandmasters in the rivers and lakes are only this realm, and above the three products, after becoming a person in the practice, it seems that it is only the beginning, the three products are searching, the second products are exploring, the first products are seeking truth, and the experience left by the predecessors after stepping further on the avenue also tells us a fact that we are not far away, we practice, often put the avenue on our lips, but what is we looking for? What is it that we are seeking? What is it that we are seeking?
The room was silent for a long time, and Mu Qing made a bold guess: "Could it be that after a product, it can really be regarded as embarking on the path of cultivation?"
Butcher Hu chuckled lightly and said, "You can go and ask Mrs. Lin for advice later, maybe you will have a harvest." ”
Yue Jiu changed the topic that was not so lofty and ethereal, and said: "Senior, I feel that these recent bureaus don't seem to be the plan of the Palm Law One Pulse, if it is really the Palm Law One Pulse to do it, it is very likely that we will not have such an opportunity to sit together." ”
Tracing back to the source, Yue Jiu soon discovered that in this crisis, which forces were involved.
"Hmm. Butcher Hu hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "Although I have not completely departed from the hidden valley, in the past ten years, I have stood from the perspective of a bystander, looking at some appearances, but I have a different feeling. ”
"I'll start with a question for you. Butcher Hu's gaze swept over Mu Qingyue and the two of them, and asked, "Do you think that breaking away from the assassin line is equivalent to breaking away from the hidden valley?"
He didn't wait for any answer from the two who were in deep thought, and said directly: "In the years ten years ago, the Hidden Valley ordered the valley master to be alone, and the various veins of the Hidden Valley could still cooperate with each other, and no one could stand on anyone's head, but now, there is one less valley lord to maintain a balance among the elders, and the great elder has controlled the palm law and obtained the authorization of the valley master, but it has destroyed this balance, so that the rest of the veins have their own minds. ”
"Although the Assassin Clan has the largest number of people and seems to be the strongest, in the distribution of power in the Hidden Valley, it can only be used as a weapon to kill, and the Ichibu Clan, which runs nine bookstores, has long had dealings with outside forces. ”
Butcher Hu looked at Yue Jiu, returned to the question he had just asked, and said: "So this time, in this bureau, it is normal that there is no Palm Law Pulse and Medicine Master Pulse Pulse, and the Medicine Master Pulse has always been the kind of attitude that it is not about oneself and is about to leave, and the Palm Law One Pulse feels that the Hidden Valley is his, so naturally he will not specifically calculate the two of you." Judging from the regression of the results and the benefits to be gained, there are only two veins, the Assassin and the Quanfu, who want to get more East through certain transactions, maybe to promote the internal strife and division of the Medicine Master, and then infiltrate and master the Medicine Master line, or try to do things from the perspective of the law, in short, they still can't escape the essential desires of power, status, and wealth. ”
Mu Qing and Yue Jiu had a realization in their hearts, and Yue Jiu looked at Hu Butcher and said, "If we want to break away from the assassin line, we naturally want to completely break away from the Hidden Valley and gain true freedom. ”
"Huh. Butcher Hu said with a smile: "The valley master has disappeared for many years, and now the assassin and the Quanfu are thinking of challenging the palm law line, this is just our opportunity." Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to receive Jiang Shangxiu's letter of overstepping your authority on the ninth day of the month. ”
Mu Qing's back straightened, and he asked with a serious expression, "What advice do you have from your seniors?"
