Chapter 380 Ancient City
Xu Qing slept one night on the edge of the vast ocean.

This sleep was particularly sound.

Even the area around the vast ocean is very dangerous now.

The dangers are not only natural disasters such as sandstorms that may occur in the vast ocean, but also people.

In fact, for human beings, the greatest danger in the world always comes from people.

In a short period of time, many people gathered in this sparsely populated area of ​​Hanhai.

"Master, I have found out that many of the local martial artists were invited by an organization called 'Twenty-Four Solar Terms'." Yue Nu went around to find out the news early in the morning.

She possesses a powerful charm, so getting information is a piece of cake for her.

"Twenty-four solar terms? Have you heard of this organization before?" Xu Qing pondered for a moment.

Yue Nu shook her head: "I haven't heard of it. I haven't even heard my master mention it. This organization seems to have appeared out of nowhere."

Xu Qing: "What is the purpose of inviting these people from Jianghu during the 24 solar terms?"

"They plan to hold an auction in Jingjue Ancient City, even including the Heavenly Sin Sword."

Xu Qing: "So, the Heavenly Sin Sword has fallen into the hands of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms?"

"Probably, but even if not, this organization is clearly very confident that it will not let the Heavenly Sin Sword fall into the hands of others." As the financial emissary under King Kuaihuo, Yue Nu obviously has a lot of insights into this kind of mysterious and powerful underworld organization.

"What do you think we should do?"

"I will obey my master's orders."

Xu Qing smiled and stopped asking further questions, saying, "Do you know where King Kuaihuo is now?"

"It shouldn't be nearby."

"Why?"

"If you are here, I can feel it." Yue Nu said in a deep voice.

She was not talking nonsense, but was out of an instinctive fear of the Happy King. If the Happy King was nearby, her instinct would tell her.

Besides, there was now one more person that she instinctively feared.

This person is Xu Qing.

Xu Qing chuckled: "It seems that King Happy is more powerful than I thought."

"Why?" Yue Nu looked puzzled.

Xu Qing: "Because he knows that coming near me is very dangerous. Just for this reason, he is much stronger than Monk Wuhua."

...

...

Wuhua originally thought that King Kuaihuo wanted to get involved in the affairs of Shi Guanyin and even the ancient city of Jingjue, but he didn't expect that King Kuaihuo would actually take him back to the Central Plains.

"The Beggars' Sect is the largest gang in the world, and the Shaolin Temple is the largest sect in the world. As long as we control these two sects, we will have the final say in the world of martial arts." King Happy said with a smile.

"So, Mr. Chai is planning to go to Shaolin Temple with me now?" Wuhua said in a deep voice.

King Happy: "Are you curious about why I don't get involved in the affairs of Jingjue Ancient City?"

"The legend of the Heavenly Sin Sword is absolutely true. Whoever obtains this sword, even if he is not invincible, will definitely be close to it." Wuhua's expression revealed a trace of yearning.

King Happy: "There is no invincible sword, only invincible people. And it's not safe near the vast sea now."

"Is Mr. Chai also afraid of that guy named Xu?" Wuhua's expression changed.

He was so smart that he immediately realized the fundamental reason why King Kuaihuo did not go to the vast sea.

"I can't see through it." King Happy said frankly.

With his current martial arts skills, there are only a handful of people in the world who can make him feel afraid.

But Xu Qing's strength is not only because he comes from Chongyang Palace, but also because there is something about Xu Qing that he cannot figure out at all.

For someone like King Happy, the unknown is always the most terrifying thing.

Because he can't control it.

So he always does things that are sure.

Wuhua actually felt a little admiration in his heart.

He suddenly realized what the biggest gap between himself and King Happy was.

If he had the vigilance of the Happy King, he should not have gone to find Xu Qing.

Unfortunately, he overestimated himself.

It is no accident or fluke that the Happy King has been able to live smoothly to this day after deceiving the entire world, and has transformed himself and established such a great foundation.

King Happy continued, "Shaolin Temple and Beggars' Sect are also targets of the imperial court. Even without me, these two major forces will be eliminated by the Mongols sooner or later."

Wuhua thought that King Kuaihuo had such great power outside the Great Wall, it was impossible to say that he had nothing to do with the imperial court.

He slowly said, "I wonder which nobleman in the court is cooperating with Mr. Chai?"

King Kuaihuo looked at Wuhua approvingly and said, "Master Wuhua is indeed a rare talent in Shaolin Temple. I might as well tell you that this person is Ba Siba."

"Basiba?" Wuhua was shocked.

He was not only the imperial teacher of the dynasty, but also a rare genius in Tibetan Buddhism, even better than the former Tubo imperial teacher Mahavairocana Jiumozhi of the Great Snow Mountain. He also discovered the "Spiritual Method of Changing Heaven and Strike Earth" from Jiumozhi's posthumous letter, and elevated the Tantric martial arts to the level of immortals and Buddhas.

It can be said that it was because of the existence of Ba Siba that the great Mongol emperor Kublai Khan was able to escape many assassination attempts.

"I have never met Phagpa, so I don't know what kind of person he is."

King Happy: "You'd better not see him."

His words are worth more than a thousand words.

A flash of enlightenment suddenly flashed through Wuhua's mind. It seemed that the "Jade Buddha" that King Kuaihuo mentioned was most likely told to him by Bashiba.

Given Ba Siba's status and position, couldn't he just go to the Shaolin Temple and forcefully ask for the Jade Buddha?

Why should we go to him through the Happy King?
Could it be that Ba Siba was afraid of a senior in Shaolin Temple?
...

...

The ancient city of Jingjue is not far away.

Xu Qing was standing by a river.

This river is not an ordinary river because the water is sand.

Besides him and Yue Nu, there were other people by the river.

Xu Qing is here to enjoy the scenery.

But this man was fishing by the river.

Yue Nu didn't dare to speak.

She has been in the world for many years and knows very well when to speak and when not to speak.

Now is not the time to talk.

She felt a murderous aura.

Murderous intent is a very mysterious thing.

Ordinary people can't even feel the presence of murderous aura.

But Yue Nu knew that murderous aura really existed in this world.

And this murderous aura came from the fishermen.

"Brother, how can there be fish in the sand?" Xu Qing suddenly asked the fisherman.

Xu Qing knew that there were several types of fish in the world that could survive in sand, but those sands were very moist, and were definitely not the dry quicksand in front of him.

Of course, he also knew very well that the other party was not here for fishing.

Fisherman: "Who says you have to use a hook to fish?"

"Brother, are you trying to hook me?" Xu Qing smiled.

The fisherman looked at Xu Qing calmly and said, "Since a quarter of an hour ago, I have used 108 methods to try to throw the hook on you, but not once has I succeeded."

Xu Qing: "Perhaps it's because you weren't resolute enough."

The fisherman shook his head: "I trust my own judgment. If I take action, I will definitely miss."

Xu Qing: "People like you are indeed very suitable to be a killer."

Fisherman: "Killing is a boring thing. If you are prepared to kill, you must also be prepared to be killed. Now the only thing I am curious about is how you will kill me."

Xu Qing: "Since you didn't do anything, why should I kill you?"

Fisherman: "That's because I wasn't sure of my ability. If I was sure, you would be dead now. Theoretically, I would be considered as attempted murder."

Yue Nu had a strange look on her face.

She had never seen anyone like him.

Xu Qing: "If you don't say so, I don't know. Do you really want to be killed by me?" Fisherman: "I am just speaking the truth. Killing is a fair thing to do."

Xu Qing sighed: "No, isn't it the person who asked you to kill me who is the real murderer? You are just a murder weapon."

The fisherman was silent.

Xu Qing's eyes fell on the drifting quicksand again: "If I kill you, does that mean that you are no longer a weapon, but a person."

Fisherman: “Not bad.”

Xu Qing: "Can I know your name?"

"Han Tang."

"I heard that there is a very famous assassin organization in the underworld called Happy Forest. In my opinion, Brother Han is definitely more powerful than any assassin in this assassin organization."

"maybe."

“I always admire people with abilities.”

Han Tang looked at Xu Qing, a little confused.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Brother Han, do you think I can kill you?"

"Yes."

"Then your life is mine."

Han Tang combined Xu Qing's previous words with his own, and he could no longer fail to understand Xu Qing's meaning. He said, "It's impossible for me to be your subordinate."

"why."

"Because I owe someone a life, and I only have one life."

"Okay, then his life will be mine too. I'll make him return it to you."

"Do you know who this person is?"

"I don't know, but I will definitely know what I want to know. Brother Han, you can follow me first. I will not tell you to do anything until I get his life in exchange for yours."

Han Tang said indifferently: "If I can't kill you, I don't have anywhere to go."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Just follow me. Otherwise, people like you will die at the hands of others sooner or later."

Han Tang was silent.

Xu Qing said it well.

As long as you are a killer, you won't live long.

He is not a person who likes to kill, but he has to kill in order to survive.

Because he wanted to kill people, he had become heartless and heartless.

But this is not what he wants.

If he still had a family, he would never be like this today.

But he didn't.

If a person has no worries, he is indeed suitable to be a killer.

Meeting Xu Qing was supposed to be an opportunity for Han Tang to free himself, but now it seems that is not the case.

He knew very well that with the strength Xu Qing had just displayed, once Xu Qing knew who the person behind him was, it would be difficult for him to escape from Xu Qing's hands.

The key is, can Xu Qing really find him?
Except for Han Tang himself, I'm afraid no one would believe that the "old man" who employs a group of killers would be him.

Yes, the person behind him is called Old Man.

But if the old man's identity were to be revealed, it would definitely shock the entire world.

Even if Han Tang revealed the old man's identity, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

Xu Qing suddenly asked again: "Brother Han, do you know what is the most powerful sword technique for killing people in the world today?"

"I don't know, but I know what the most powerful killing weapon in the world is."

"Oh, what is it?"

"Master, I know that too."

Xu Qing was very interested: "What is it?"

"A box."

Han Tang looked at Yue Nu in surprise.

Yue Nu said respectfully, "I heard Chai Yuguan mention it."

Xu Qing: "Could that box be made by Master Xiao?"

Han Tang: "You know that too?"

He knew Xu Qing's background. Before he came out this time, he had always lived in Chongyang Palace. At most, he would go down the mountain occasionally, but he would not leave Zhongnan Mountain too far.

He couldn't have imagined that with Xu Qing's life experience, he could know so many things.

So he didn't understand even more. With the "old man's" magical powers, couldn't he have detected Xu Qing's abnormality in advance?
If they found out, why would they send him to assassinate Xu Qing?

This is obviously an impossible task.

In terms of terrifyingness, Xu Qing could even be ranked in the top two among the people he had ever met in his life.

The other is the old man’s good friend.

That is also a Taoist priest.

Xu Qing: "I wonder if I can see that box in the Western Regions."

Han Tang: "It's impossible to see him, because the owner of the box can only be invited by one person."

"Who?"

"The Condor Hero." Han Tang said slowly.

Xu Qing took out the Black Iron Order in his hand and said, "So, if I take the Black Iron Order and find the Divine Eagle Hero, I can ask for the box, and then let the owner of the box help me kill people?"

Han Tang: "Yes, but with your strength, perhaps no one in the world can escape your assassination."

Xu Qing: "There are always times when people don't want to do things themselves. It seems that keeping this Xuantie Order is a good thing. Unfortunately, I have to persuade Junbao first."

Han Tang: "Is it Zhang Junbao?"

"Well, he is my good brother. Why, have you met him?"

Han Tang: "Well, not long ago, he and Shi Guanyin entered the Jingjue Ancient City."

Xu Qing: "Brother Han, where did you get this news?"

"Master Ku Mei's apprentice Gao Yanan helped me once, and I met her this time." Han Tang looked a little unnatural when he mentioned Gao Yanan.

Xu Qing asked curiously, "By the way, I heard that the leader of Happy Forest is called Boss Gao. What is her relationship with Gao Yanan?"

Xu Qing actually asked Gao Yanan.

But Gao Yanan hesitated and refused to tell the truth.

Yue Nu was also unaware of this matter.

After all, she is more familiar with things in the Western Regions.

Moreover, Happy Forest is a place that even the Happy King doesn't want to provoke easily.

Because King Happy is concerned about the people behind Happy Forest.

Han Tang: "Miss Gao didn't tell you about this, so naturally I can't tell you either."

Xu Qing: "It seems that you like Gao Yanan very much. If she likes you too, I can be a matchmaker for you two."

"Master Xu, please don't make such jokes." A familiar voice sounded.

Xu Qing turned his head and saw two old acquaintances.

One is Gao Yanan, the other is Master Kumei.

"Master, you don't believe in my ability to do things? Why do you come to the Western Regions in person?" Xu Qing said casually.

Master Kumei: "Master Xu, I'm here for another matter."

"what's up?"

Master Kumei: "Master Xu, have you heard about the auction in the Jingjue Ancient City?"

"heard."

Master Kumei: "In this auction, there is a supreme sword technique ready to be sold, and that is why I am here."

"What swordsmanship can compare to Master's Thirteen Qingfeng Styles?" Xu Qing smiled.

"Yes, this sword technique is called 'Nine Swords of Dugu'."
