Chapter 197: The Background of Zhaixing Tower
Chapter 197: The Background of Zhaixing Tower
Inside the hut, the oil lamp flickered, and a secret letter was placed on the table.
When Li Yuan pushed the door open and walked in, Wang Wenyuan's heart moved slightly: "Besides the several great disciples of Shenbing Valley, are there any other disciples with excellent talents?"
"How would I know how many thousands of disciples there are in Divine Weapon Valley?"
After taking a look at the secret letter on the table, Li Yuan shook his head and asked, "Master Wang, is the news from this evil cult credible?"
"It's credible. It's probably credible."
Wang Wenyuan picked up the secret letter and handed it over: "Do you still remember the 'Temple-carrying Spirit Turtle' that I mentioned before?"
"Ok?"
Li Yuan took the letter, shook it open and took a look. The letter talked about exactly what Fang Baoluo had talked about with him before.
Just a lot more detailed.
The letter mentioned where the news came from and who was fanning the flames. He also saw Lao Han's name in the letter.
A few days after the news spread, Old Han took action brazenly. Before the disciples of the Divine Weapon Valley could be hunted down, he killed hundreds of them first...
"Old Han, hard!"
Li Yuan secretly praised him, but also felt a little worried. If Lao Han took the initiative to jump out, it would definitely attract a lot of hostility.
This matter concerns the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer. There are so many experts in the Zhelong Mansion that even if he is wearing divine armor, it is difficult for him to move forward and backward freely.
"The Evil God Cult's divination method is unique in the world because it relies on blood sacrifice rituals to ask the gods for advice. The birth of the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale was predicted by the Evil God Cult leader from the Spirit Turtle that carried the temple."
Wang Wenyuan said.
"How did you calculate this?"
Li Yuan was a little confused. Although he was half a Taoist priest, he had never seen the real art of divination.
Just a piece of tortoise shell and a few copper coins can calculate what is happening thousands of miles away?
This doesn't make sense!
"Gods."
Wang Wenyuan fiddled with the copper coins and said, "I don't know exactly how the calculation was done, but if I follow the same pattern, the calculation is still credible."
"Do you know how to do it?"
Li Yuan looked at the copper coin in his hand. Upon closer inspection, he could see that it was covered with strange patterns.
But there was no light of weapon.
"I know a little bit."
Seeing that Li Yuan seemed very interested, Wang Wenyuan immediately shook his head and warned: "It is better to make your own decisions than to ask gods for divination. It is better to practice boxing with a stick than to sit in meditation."
"..."
So why are you still fiddling with coins all day?
Li Yuan was speechless, but he didn't dwell on it. He just asked about the impact of the matter. Being in a small town, his only channel to contact the outside world was the Zhaixing Tower.
"This matter is big and small at the same time."
Wang Wenyuan stroked his long beard, feeling a little depressed as he thought about the many inquiries he had received:
"This news came from the headquarters of the Evil God Cult, and many people believed it without a doubt. However, the personnel of the Star Picking Tower are mixed, and it is probably impossible to find such a person..."
In a sect like the Divine Weapon Valley, the assets of all the inner and outer sect disciples, as well as the menial disciples, must be investigated and registered.
But Zhaixing Tower is not a sect in the ordinary sense. Even the core 108 killers do not leave any information in the list, let alone other killers on the periphery?
It is precisely because of its extremely loose organization that the Zhaixing Tower has survived to this day and has continued to grow stronger despite the suppression by the imperial court.
But because of this, he is often blamed for many things.
Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this divination also had its limitations.
“That’s the trouble.”
Wang Wenyuan sighed: "This is about the Heavenly Destiny Mystical Soldiers. Those people will not give up until Li Yuanba is found."
Li Yuan's heart tightened slightly, this was the problem.
"Those families have already started. No matter how much Han Chuijun tries to stop them, it will be useless."
Wang Wenyuan took the letter back from his hand and said, "Before Li Yuanba shows up, you should stay in Gaoliu County. If they can't find you, they will go crazy."
"What will they do if they can't find anyone?"
Li Yuan's heart tightened a little, as he knew that Li Yuanba would not show up.
"Before and after the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer appeared, there were only a few thousand people entering and leaving the Divine Weapon Valley. If we kill them all, we will naturally find it."
Wang Wenyuan said casually: "A similar thing happened many years ago..."
“So cruel?!”
Li Yuan's eyelids twitched wildly.
"In the past, in sect wars, thousands or tens of thousands of casualties were common, let alone a matter involving the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Soldiers?"
Wang Wenyuan didn't care: "You still underestimated the importance of the Heavenly Luck Mysterious Soldiers, and also underestimated those families..."
"This……"
Li Yuan's heart sank slightly. The evil god leader made a casual divination, and the Divine Weapon Valley immediately fell into great danger.
No matter how ruthless Old Han is, he can't resist everyone in the end.
Unless Li Yuanba shows up...
"An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. Unless the masters of the Xuanbing of all generations are from the Dao Sect or the imperial court, it is really difficult for them to protect the Xuanbing."
Wang Wenyuan stood up and pulled out a yellowed ancient scroll from the bookshelf:
"For thousands of years, the twelve Heavenly Fate Mysterious Soldiers have been born from generation to generation, but only one or two of the Mysterious Soldiers' masters have a good ending."
Li Yuan took the ancient scroll with a wooden face, flipped through it, and found it somewhat shocking.
"In the winter of the 210th year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in Longyin Dao, Dingzhou, a mysterious soldier secret realm appeared, and it is suspected that the 'Great Wilderness Sea Purple Gold Spear' appeared... people died, and the master of the mysterious soldier died in the battle."
"In the 524th year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in the Yanshan Road, a mysterious weapon secret realm appeared in the Baiwangzhou, and it is suspected that the 'Divine Dragon Xumi Stick' appeared..."
"In the 942nd year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yunmeng Road, in Dingxi Prefecture..."
"In the year 1210 of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Gusu Road..."
Every time the Mysterious Soldiers of Heaven's Luck appear, there will be turmoil in the martial arts world, with tens of thousands of people dying, or affecting one prefecture or state, or several states or regions.
There were even several times when it directly became the fuse for the collapse of the dynasty.
At the place where Dayun was founded, four mysterious soldiers of heaven and earth were born one after another. This was not a legend, but a real birth.
"It would be fine if Li Yuanba was born in Dragon and Tiger Temple. Although the Divine Weapon Valley has some background, it can't bear this blessing after all. How unwise is it for Feng Yun to move here?"
Wang Wenyuan kept his eyes on Li Yuan while he spoke, and felt a little disappointed when he saw that the latter was just quietly flipping through the ancient scrolls.
Is it really not this guy?
Is there really any extremely talented disciple hidden in the Divine Weapon Valley?
"If you are not a Daoist, then you are not qualified to command the Xuanbing?"
Li Yuan closed the ancient scroll, unable to hide his shock.
What was recorded in this ancient volume was too explicit. The five major Taoist sects spared no effort in strangling the Lord of Mysterious Soldiers.
"An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. This has been the truth since ancient times. The Five Great Dao Sects have gone through many dynasties without being defeated. How could they allow someone to take their place?"
Wang Wenyuan pushed open the door. The moonlight was quite bright tonight, and the yard was filled with bright moonlight.
"That's the truth."
Li Yuan's mind was filled with distracting thoughts, and he asked, "Can the Star Picking Tower protect the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Soldiers?"
"Star-picking Tower..."
Wang Wenyuan paced under the moon, thought about it seriously, and shook his head:
"Why do I think this is such a problem? It's because if Zhaixing Tower gets the Heavenly Profound Weapon, the imperial court will have trouble sleeping and eating."
"This is true."
Li Yuan then remembered that for more than a thousand years, Zhaixing Tower had been bent on assassinating the king and was the number one traitor in the world.
"These evildoers of the Evil God Cult not only target the Divine Weapon Valley, but also intend to frame our Zhaixing Tower. They have evil intentions. Someone will settle this account with them!"
Wang Wenyuan's face was not very good, mainly because of the court's attitude after the matter spread.
If this attracts the King of Zhenwu, it would be a truly earth-shattering event.
"This group of monsters."
Li Yuan hated it deeply.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let those old guys worry about it."
Wang Wenyuan was not in a good mood, waved his hand and went back to the house.
Li Yuan closed the door.
"You have good talent and excellent comprehension. You are the core of the future chosen by me..."
Inside the house, Wang Wenyuan added some lamp oil: "There is no preferential treatment for peripheral killers in the building, but it is not the case for true seeds like you and your elder brother."
Are the benefits of joining Zhaixing Tower going to be realized only now?
Li Yuan calmed his mind and listened quietly to the choice given by Wang Wenyuan.
"The Star Picking Tower has no branch offices, no branch halls, no main altars, no headquarters, and so on. All the assassins are not subordinate to each other, and have no connection with each other. There is no such thing as a mountain gate."
Really loose organization.
It was no surprise that Li Yuan secretly complained in his heart, because the only cult that could own so many territories despite being wanted by the imperial court was the Evil God Cult.
"In the Zhaixing Tower, only the Tianzi Killer is qualified to recommend a True Seed. I only have ten chances to recommend one, and you are the last one."
Wang Wenyuan paused slightly, and Li Yuan hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude.
"...You have become even more dishonest after being out of town for two years."
Wang Wenyuan glared at him, then took out a piece of white paper from his arms. There seemed to be freshly written words on it, and it still smelled of ink.
"This is?"
Li Yuan stretched out his hand to take it, and the first thing that caught his eye was the eight large characters "Ten Thousand Beasts Sitting in Oblivion, Dragon Demon Heart Sutra".
Following closely behind are the God Worshipping Method, the Dongxu Subduing Dragon Mysterious Art, and other magical skills that only exist in legends.
"Martial arts can be divided into lower, middle and upper levels. The upper level is further subdivided, such as the Bingdao Dousha Hammer and Tianchan Sword, which are the most common upper-level martial arts and are called secret transmissions...
The five weapons and five colors of spiritual energy are higher, and belong to the category of unique skills. Unique skills are often the martial arts of the state-level sects, and above that, they are divine skills. "
Secret teachings, unique skills, and magical powers.
Li Yuan concentrated his attention. He had seen similar words in the library, but not as clearly as Wang Wenyuan's.
"Without superior martial arts, it is difficult for a martial artist to achieve great success, let alone open up the meridians. Without unique skills, it is impossible to transform the internal energy into true energy, and there is no way to refine the internal organs and marrow..."
Wang Wenyuan pointed at the paper:
"When I recommended you to join the building, I said that this was a matter of good fortune. Why? The true seed recommended by me can choose a unique skill, or even the fragments of a magical skill!"
so good?
Li Yuan's heart was shocked as he looked at the list of magical skills listed on the white paper, including the 'Five Weapons and Five Colors of Spiritual Qi' that was a secret of the Divine Weapon Valley.
"There are so many unique skills in the Star-Picking Tower?"
Li Yuan found it a little unbelievable, as these were all from various sects, and some were even the unique skills of the Taoist sect that were not passed on to other sects.
Can you get this?
"How can we, the Star Picking Tower, dare to compete with the imperial court without some background?"
Wang Wenyuan smiled slightly and said, "Choose."
"This……"
Li Yuan was dazzled by what he saw. After a while, he forced himself not to look at the fragments of the magic skills and looked at one of the unique skills:
"Dragon-Tiger Heaven Hammer!"
