Chapter 12: The Knife's Decision
In the northeast of Shenzhou, thousands of miles away from the Lingjing Gate, in the snow-filled Taibai Mountains, there is a hidden sect with three pillars in the world, the Heavenly King Sect.
The Heavenly King Sect is a very shabby sect, but if an outsider comes here, they will definitely think that this is the Ancient Immortal Palace.
The magnificent and majestic palaces are scattered in the Taibai Mountains, which stretch for hundreds of miles, and there are traces of Tianwangzong everywhere, some are on the mountainside, some are on the top of the mountain, and some are in the valley. I don't know if these palaces were built by Tang Fifteen, the friend of Chu Fangyu and the ancestor of the founding of the Heavenly King Sect thousands of years ago, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources, some long bridges lead from one mountain peak to another, and some stone steps are tens of thousands of steps, each level is a boulder, these landscapes look like they are simply beyond the power of manpower, no wonder the Heavenly King Sect dares to pretend to be the "Heavenly King", and can entrench in such a fairy palace for thousands of years, which is already unbearable for the luck of extraordinary people.
On Baiyun Peak, the main peak of the Taibai Mountains, in a slightly smaller stone hall on the mountainside, a person slowly walked out of the hall, looking at the heavy snow and the boundless sea of clouds, his eyes narrowed slightly.
His long black hair fluttered naturally in the wind, there was a thin scar on his neck, and there were countless flying knives hanging from his waist, which were the apprentices of the Heavenly King Sect Sect Master Ji Qi five years ago, the small knife.
In fact, the knife has another name, which is the name given to him by Ji Mad, called Ji Bingshan. Xiaodao felt that this name was really ugly, but because of the master's good face, he didn't dare to refute it, so he responded "happily", but in private, he still likes to let others call him Xiaodao, except for some elders, if anyone wants to call him Ji Bingshan, he will be unhappy.
But now Xiaodao didn't react at all to a senior brother next to him who continuously called him the name of "Ji Bingshan".
"Ji, Bing!Mountain!" A tall man almost put his face next to the knife's ears, and used the strength of the lion's roar, the knife reacted, stared at the man in a daze, and said dissatisfiedly: "Second senior brother, why are you so loud, I can hear it." Also, just call me a knife. ”
"You can hear a fart!" The second senior brother stretched out his hand and rubbed it the tip of the knife and said, "What are you thinking about so engrossed, come on, come on, I'm bored today, come and accompany your senior brother to practice a few times." ”
The knife pushed the second senior brother's hand away, shook his head and said, "Second senior brother, I'm annoyed." ”
"What are you bothered about? What are you so annoyed about? It only took you more than two years to get out of the abyss, and the things that Master told you to do were completed in less than a month, and now several of our brothers and sisters feel that maybe you can be a valley master in the future." The second brother patted the knife on the shoulder and said.
Xiaodao sighed: "Second Senior Brother, do you remember what Master said yesterday?"
"What did you say?" The second senior brother scratched his head, and suddenly said "oh", "Ah, you mean, the matter of the Spirit Mirror Gate! It's not that the long-lost sister of the Spirit Mirror Gate Lin Sect Master has found and was seriously injured, and now he is sending someone to find a way to cure the injury, and then our Heavenly King Sect's High Valley Lord may have clues, let our Heavenly King Sect pay more attention." What does this have to do with you? What the hell are you talking about? Huh? Wait......
The tall second senior brother suddenly narrowed his eyes obscenely, showed an ambiguous smile, stretched out his elbow and stabbed the knife, and said in a low voice: "I suddenly remembered that yesterday the master said that the person who came to us from the Spirit Mirror Gate was a female disciple named Ning Wushu, and she seems to be the niece of the master of the Lin Sect......, right? Interesting to her?"
The knife's face, which was roughened by the wind and snow, couldn't help but blush, and avoided his face: "Senior brother, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Come less and come less, can you still hide it from the second senior brother?" The second senior brother was overjoyed when he saw this, and he was grinning so much that he was grinning, and the mission leaned towards the side of the knife: "Hurry up, tell me, what's going on?"
The knife, which has always been cold, couldn't resist it at this time, pushed the second senior brother away a little, coughed twice, and said, "Second senior brother, don't think too much, I'm just a friend and want to help her." Master also said that she came to Tianwang Sect from afar this time to find the Gao Gu Lord to understand the affairs of Fanghu Immortal Mountain, but I just came back from Tianshu Valley, and the Gao Gu Lord is haunted, and even his apprentices don't know where he is, and it is not easy to find the Gao Gu Lord without a book. It just so happens that I know a person, and this person may know the clues of Fanghu Immortal Mountain, and I wonder if I should go to this person. ”
"It's a must!" the second senior brother patted his thigh, "Of course I'm going to find it......! Ah no, how can you sit idly by and help your friends?"
Xiaodao sighed in distress and said, "However, that person is in the abyss. ”
"What?" The second senior brother glared: "No return to the abyss? Why do you still know the people inside? Xiaodao, I can tell you, there are all the most vicious people there, and everyone has committed heinous crimes, when you are training inside, you quietly know one or two people, that's not a big deal, but you want to ask them for help and owe favors, that's not good!"
"Second Senior Brother, don't worry," Xiao Dao's eyes turned cold, "Even if I want to find someone, I can't politely ask this person for help." ”
Hearing this, the second senior brother grinned, patted the knife on the shoulder, and praised: "Not bad, it's right to have this momentum." I don't bother to get involved in this matter, and finally remind you, now that the weather is freezing and it is not easy to walk, that Senior Sister Ning set off from the Lingjing Gate to Tianwang Sect, although it is estimated that it will take two or three months, but according to the time, it is almost there. But it took more than two years for you to come out of the abyss of no return last time. ”
The knife touched the scar on his neck, and there was a ruthlessness in his eyes.
The place where the No Return Abyss is located is a black forbidden place in the Taibai Mountains, which is a huge extinct crater, which belongs to the Tianyuan Valley Lord, one of the five major valley masters of the Heavenly King Sect, is in charge, and more than two years after the knife was introduced, he was thrown into the No Return Abyss by Ji Mad's neck, and after a long time of life and death training in it, he finally passed the test and walked out, for this reason, his whole body was covered with terrifying scars, the most terrifying and dangerous of which was the slender scar on his neck.
The Heavenly Plains Valley, which is in charge of the Abyss of No Return, is a very special existence in the Heavenly King Sect. Different from the other four valleys, Tianyuan Valley is the existence of the Heavenly King Sect, the disciples in the valley are all dressed in iron armor and armed with spears and halberds, not like the disciples of the martial arts sect, but like the elite soldiers in the imperial court, they practice every day, patrol day and night, all of them are cold and ruthless iron faces, and more importantly, in the rest of the Heavenly King Sect, where there are few people, there are actually three thousand disciples of the Heavenly Plains Valley.
Some of these disciples were later brought under the sect by the Tianyuan Valley Lord, but most of them were brought by the Tianyuan Valley Lord himself.
This Tianyuan Valley Lord, from the day he came to the Heavenly King Sect, his face was covered with a black mask, which he had never taken off for more than ten years, only the current sect master, Ji Mad, had seen his true face. This valley lord has never let others know his name, and the Heavenly King Sect only calls him "Broken Army Star". It is said that Po Junxing was originally a descendant of a founding meritorious person in the DPRK, but for some reason he was exiled in the rivers and lakes and was brought back to Tianwangzong by Ji Mad. But the thousands of soldiers and horses he brought with him at that time have now become disciples of Tianyuan Valley, guarding the Taibai Mountain Range with him.
And those wicked people who were suppressed in the abyss of no return by the Heavenly Plains Valley Lord Broken Army Star were all caught by the disciples of the Heavenly King Sect when they came to the Northeast Realm to do evil, generally speaking, this kind of wicked people were either killed or abolished, but Broken Army Star came up with an even more terrible method, he threw all these wicked people into the abyss of no return, telling them that if someone could kill a hundred people one day, they could come out safely.
Then, every year, Po Junxing would ask Ji Mad to select a few disciples in the sect and throw them into the abyss of no return for "life and death training".
Of course, the disciples who undergo the life and death experience are different from those wicked people, they don't have to kill a hundred wicked people, but they also have to complete three conditions. First, survive twenty attacks, second, on the basis of the first condition, kill twenty wicked people with his own hands, and third, if he can kill a wicked person who has the blood of ninety people on his hands, then the disciple can ignore the first two rules and directly complete the experience.
Since then, these rules set by the Broken Army Star have made the Abyss of No Return a place of killing.
Wicked people kill desperately for freedom. In order to complete the experience, the disciples also killed desperately. Moreover, in order to complete the experience faster, the disciples of the Heavenly King Sect would often go directly to find those great evildoers whose hands were stained with blood in the abyss of no return, so they became a thorn in the side of the wicked people, and suffered continuous assassinations. Over the years, it is no longer known how many disciples of the Heavenly King Sect have died there, but even so, the Heavenly King Sect still has not abolished this experience that seems to be full of bloody and terrifying atmosphere.
No one knows why Broken Army Star did this, and no one knows how he persuaded Ji Mad to do so, but this tradition has continued.
The knife is a rare excellent seedling for so many years. After entering the abyss of no return, he suffered a total of more than fifty attacks, ended the lives of eighteen people with his own hands, and used his flying knife to end a terrifying existence in the abyss of no return that had killed ninety-seven people. When the knife was carried out of the crater by the broken army, there was no good skin on his body, and the whole person looked like a blood brown child, and he almost died. It's not easy for anyone who has had this experience to go back to that place.
Therefore, when the knife found the Heavenly Plains Valley Lord Breaking Army Star, this person who was wrapped in iron armor and didn't seem to have the slightest understanding, showed a hint of surprise in his tone.
"Ji Bingshan...... You said you were going to go in again?"
Broken Junxing's voice carried a hint of the cold smell of metal, he stood next to the huge crater, holding a Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand, the blade of the painting halberd was blood-colored, and it was particularly conspicuous in the heavy snow, it was the color dyed by the blood of countless people. The god-like Broken Army Star pointed at the bottomless crater with a halberd and said, "I don't care what your previous grades were, as long as you go in again, you still have to abide by my rules." ”
"I understand. Knife lowered his head and felt his heart pounding. He pressed his hand on the flying knife at his waist, and only then did he feel a little relieved. Finally, Xiaodao settled down and said, "Gu Master, the disciple has asked the master, and the master said, whatever I want." And the disciple has already decided to go again. ”
"Good. Po Junxing didn't talk nonsense anymore, Fang Tian waved his halberd and raised his voice: "Send Ji Bingshan, a disciple of the Heavenly King, into the abyss of no return!"
A rumbling sound came, and on the edge of this huge crater, the Heavenly King Sect built an elevator, through gears and ropes, which could allow people to go up and down the abyss of no return. Except for the disciples who come to train every year, this elevator is only used by Po Junxing every day, delivering food to those wicked people in the abyss and sending the disciples of the Heavenly King Sect down to pick up these tasks, and no one else can take over. Because except for the Broken Army Star, no one in the Heavenly Plains Valley can travel to and from this terrifying place safely.
Several disciples of Tianyuan Valley shook the mechanism of the elevator, and Po Junxing and Xiaodao rode the elevator slowly down. The abyss of no return is miles deep, and it is like a huge valley inside. Seeing that he was about to come to the bottom of this valley, Po Junxing said coldly: "Now there is no return to the abyss, and there are no sect disciples for the time being. Three people who have killed more than 90 people are named Chen Shuo, Hua Jinhan, and Rina Oda. ”
Hearing Po Junxing's words, Xiaodao's nervous heartbeat became even more intense, but this time it was not because of nervousness, but because of excitement.
"You've killed so many people...... It seems that I need to hurry up, otherwise the person I'm looking for will have to leave the abyss of no return. ”
The knife took a deep breath, and in this abyss of no return, the thick smell of blood even overwhelmed the sulfur smell of the crater. He didn't look back at the star, he stepped out first, and jumped out before the elevator was completely on the ground.
With a height of four or five feet, it seems as easy for a knife to just descend a staircase. He landed lightly to the ground, raised his head, and squinted at the ubiquitous and ill-intentioned people in the abyssal valley.
Some people are strong, and they just sit in a conspicuous place with such a swagger, and they do not shy away from looking at the knife and the broken army star with provocative and dangerous eyes. Some people are weaker, so they can only hide in their respective hiding places, quietly touching their weapons, and tasting this new prey. But soon, they all found out that this "newcomer" was a familiar face.
"This is the person who killed Boss Feng!"
I don't know who shouted, the wicked people in the abyss were frightened, and those who were already ready to rush up to pick up a bargain as soon as the broken army star left, also quietly retracted their plans.
"Waste, Grandpa, I'm back!" Knife laughed and strode forward, he laughed loudly: "If you want to die, come quickly, Grandpa, I'm in a hurry! Also, if anyone can help me find that woman in Rina Oda, Grandpa will spare his life!"
