Chapter Thirty-Eight: Hidden in the City

In a five-star office building in Chongqing's central business district, there is an old man with gray hair sitting in the "chairman's room", this old man has a fair complexion, eyes like torches, sharp facial features, and is wearing a clean and neat black suit, reading the newspaper of the day.

There was a soft knock on the door, and he whispered, "Come in!" Fei Xue pushed the door and walked in, she was dressed in a white shirt and black skirt, dressed as a white-collar girl, she said to the old man who was sitting, "Grandpa, do you have something to do with me?"

"Sit. "The old man spoke briefly. "Yes. Fei Xue walked over to the old man's desk and sat down.

"What kind of person is the other party that can seriously hurt you?" asked the old man curiously.

"It should be Beiyin, but fortunately, the dagger that stabbed me was not carried by the hermit himself. Fei Xue said solemnly.

"Beiyin? The old man pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Fei Xue and said, "Xue'er, you look into my eyes. Fei Xue raised her head and looked into the old man's eyes.

"Judging by your injuries, someone must have helped you?" asked the old man. Fei Xue nodded after hearing this.

"You recuperate for three days, and then kill him after three days, the rules cannot be broken. The old man said calmly. After looking at Fei Xue's eyes, he asked strangely, "You~ don't want to kill him?"

"Yes, because he saved me. Fei Xue whispered.

"That's not a reason, a hermit can't have weaknesses, he can't break the rules. The old man said calmly.

"There is another way to kill him, according to the canon. Fei Xue said a little weakly.

"The other party is a man, Cher, grandpa doesn't embarrass you, if you want to do that, just do what you want. After three days, you will take him back, and if he is qualified to join the church, he will be spared death. But you have to think about it, you can't be sloppy in life, and grandpa wants to meet him first. The old man had a smile on his face. The old man looked very stern, and he still doted on Fei Xue in his heart, because the person in Fei Xue's mouth he agreed without even seeing him.

"Yes, thank you grandpa. If nothing happened, Cher went out first. Fei Xue's face flushed slightly, showing a rare smile, but this expression flashed, and soon her face returned to calm.

I have to give a brief introduction to the hidden religion. Hidden Sect is an ancient sect, at first it was Deng Ling's Mo (after the death of Mozi, the Mo family was divided into three major factions: Deng Ling's Mo who practiced chivalry and righteousness, Xiangli Mo who studied science and technology, and Xiangfu Mo who debated scholars). Obviously, their ideals are lofty, but they are simply impossible. Even so, they still insisted on their beliefs, and because they made too many enemies, they could only develop in hiding, and later changed their name to "Hidden Sect" or "Hidden School", and the people in the sect called the hermits.

In the Han Dynasty, they gradually absorbed the doctrine of Huang Lao's Taoism, and by chance, the lost Five Elements Escape Technique became an important skill for them, and the strength of the hermit increased dramatically. The surviving Five Elements Retreat Techniques of the Taoist sect are all lost versions, and they are not at all the same as the Hidden Sect's Retreat Techniques. For example, if Fei Xue sprinkles a handful of soil on herself, she can hide her body into invisibility and instantly reach another place with soil far away, which is the Earth Escape Technique in the Five Elements Escape Technique.

For one or two thousand years, the hermit has focused on the study of killing arts, studying how to defeat the enemy in the most efficient and efficient way, so the combat effectiveness of the hermit is very terrifying, and the hermit who has only cultivated for a few years can often easily kill the masters of the good and evil factions with decades of cultivation, and the various factions in the rivers and lakes are very afraid of them. Why, then, do so few people hear about the deeds of the hermit? The reason is very simple: the person who really sees the hermit will die very quickly, and he will not have time to tell anyone about it.

The hermit's martial arts are very weird and peculiar, there is only one move in a round, and the moves are not fancy, but they are all fast, accurate and ruthless nirvana. The Hermit's weapons are light and sharp, and they almost never collide with each other's weapons during combat. The basic weapon of the hermit was the sword first, and in the Tang Dynasty, it was replaced by a powerful Tang knife, and the various dart hidden weapons carried with them were even more varied, and different sects and even different hermits of the same sect would have their own unique hidden weapons. Another terrible thing is that the hermit's weapons are all stained with poison, and only the hermit himself has the antidote, and if you fight with the hermit, you will basically die as long as you break the skin. Most hermits wear dark blue when they go on missions, as this color is closest to the night sky and is more conducive to concealment.

Seeing this, does it feel that the hermit is a bit like the ninja of the Toei Island Country? Yes, the two are indeed "related" relationships. During the Tang Dynasty, the hermit's martial art - hidden art was introduced to Japan, and after combining Japanese swordsmanship and Shaolin martial arts, Japanese ninjutsu was finally formed. Thankfully, the hermit's Five Elements Escape Technique was not really introduced to Japan, and the so-called Five Elements Escape Technique of Japanese ninjas was just to hide themselves with the help of physical objects such as wood, gold, water, fire, and earth, and it was not a spell at all.

Until the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the hermit also spied a lot of intelligence for the Song Dynasty court, assassinating many traitors and enemy generals. But the good times didn't last long, after Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Guangyi came to power, he was very afraid of all kinds of armed sects, and the shocking assassination and espionage ability of the hidden sect made him even more frightened. While the Hidden Sect cooperated closely with the Northern Song Dynasty court, it completely exposed itself, and Zhao Guangyi, after careful planning, mercilessly raised the butcher's knife against the Hidden Sect, and all the factions of the Hidden Sect were almost slaughtered. The hidden cults that have learned their lesson no longer care about politics, they have become more hidden, and have become a sect that only seeks their own interests and collects money to help solve the hatred of the rivers and lakes, similar to the modern gangsters and killer groups. It is precisely because of this that the Hidden Sect is despised by the Righteous Sect, and the Evil Sects are also very jealous of them and unwilling to deal with them, they are neither the Righteous Way nor the Evil Path, they do not cultivate immortals but they know Taoism, they cannot be regarded as ordinary Jianghu sects, and finally become the four dislikes. However, the hidden religion that doesn't ask about the world's major events never cares about the opinions of the outside world, and develops leisurely and on its own.

Although there is a hidden word in the hermitage, they believe in the concept of "great hidden in the city", they never hide in the barren mountains and mountains to gnaw on the bark, but live in the city as comfortably as normal people, they usually do legitimate business as a cover, and only when they perform tasks do they become real hermits. Therefore, when the hermit performs the mission, the face cannot be seen by others, otherwise it is equivalent to revealing his identity, and may even expose the entire sect, which is a very dangerous thing for them.

"Xue'er, how is the injury? This is the gold medicine I personally refined, it can speed up the healing of the wound, can you take it and try it?" Fei Xue had just walked out of the chairman's room, a man in a suit and leather shoes came over and asked with concern, he took out a small bottle from his pocket to hand it to Fei Xue.

"It's okay, no need. Thank you!" Fei Xue replied coldly, not reaching for the bottle.

"You seem to be in a bad mood, do you want to go out for a walk with you?" the man asked, still concerned.

"No need. Takujin, if it's okay, I'll go first. Fei Xue's words were still very short, without any emotion, and she turned around and walked away after she finished speaking. Tuozhen's voice came from behind him: "Hey~ Cher." Alas!"

Three days later, in the early morning, Fei Xue prepared her luggage, and after she glanced at the mountains in the distance, her expression was a little complicated, and she said to herself: "He Nai, this day is still here, how will you choose, and what should I do?"
