182 Heavenly Master Wu Zun, Xin Yu's life experience and secrets!
He followed the three assassins all the way to the outside of the south city gate, and then continued to the south.
Until we walked seven kilometers, we gradually arrived at a secluded and uninhabited mountain.
The three assassins limped into the mountain.
"This is Netherworld Mountain?"
Fang Zhihua was surprised, took out a mask, put it on, and followed him into the mountain.
This mountain is almost entirely composed of huge rocks, with few flowers and trees, a bare landscape, and the terrain is quite complicated and huge, just like a lifeless dead land. It is no wonder that it is called Netherworld Mountain.
Slowly arriving deep into the mountains, there is almost no change in the whole environment except for making you feel lonely and no one.
Are these assassin organizations located in such a ghostly place?
Fang Ce couldn't help but shake his head, feeling really bored.
However, at this moment, the figures of the three assassins in front suddenly disappeared.
"Huh? Disappeared? What happened?"
Fang Ce was surprised and immediately became attentive.
"No, it's an illusion?"
Fang Ce was immediately surprised. He felt that there was a force in front of him that interfered with his senses, and he soon saw some distorted scenes with his heavenly eyes.
This situation should be something he had read about illusions in a book.
Illusion is a very mysterious magic. It can be seen through with the celestial eye, but it must be under a situation that is not too far away from the practitioner's Taoism. If such a situation of seeing through but not completely seeing through it occurs, it means that the Taoism of the caster must be different.
Far higher than what the Heavenly Eye can control!
Are there any masters hiding here?
Fang Ce was surprised. After all, he now has 2,300 Taoist practices. Being able to perform an illusion that his Taoist can't see through can only mean that the opponent's Taoist skills are much higher than his. It is most likely that he is close to 3,000 Taoist practices and is approaching the tribulation.
exist!
"Well……"
Fang Ce couldn't help but ponder, and then took steps forward, slowly walking towards the place where the three assassins disappeared. Although the other party's Dao Xing was much higher than him, his strength may not be stronger than him. After all, he has a lot of abilities. Moreover,
…
There is a stone tablet where the three assassins disappeared. There are some vague words engraved on the stone tablet, which should be the location of the assassin organization so that someone can come to trade.
Come closer and take a look.
I saw that the stone tablet was just as expected by Fang Ce. It was used as a sign. There were two columns of words on it: "Collect people's money and help people eliminate disasters. Don't touch the royal family or Taoist masters."
"Collect people's money to eliminate disasters, but don't touch the royal family or the Taoist master?"
Fang Ce looked at the two sentences in surprise. This should mean that there are no orders to assassinate the royal family and Taoist masters here. It seems that it must be due to strength, and he does not want to provoke the existence of the royal family and Taoist masters.
"Is this friend here to trade?"
A cold voice sounded.
Then he saw a graceful figure walking out of thin air in front of him. It was a woman in green wearing a mask, and she had three hundred years of cultivation.
"Well...yes, but it's my first time hiring an assassin here. What are the rules?"
Fang Ce asked thoughtfully.
"The rules are on the stone tablet, and it is enough to bring enough chips and the identity of the assassination target. The money is collected here first, and then the work is done. When the thing is done, you will know it naturally. If the thing is not done, or cannot be completed, you can come with the written receipt
Get your employment money back.”
The woman responded coldly.
"Document? Does that mean I need to reveal my identity?"
Fang Ce was confused, this was the key point of his coming here, because if the organization here had mastered the customer's information, he could try to obtain it directly from here.
"No, this document only unilaterally indicates how many chips you handed over here so that you can get them back if the mission fails."
The woman responded.
"Oh...that's it, then I'll feel relieved..."
Fang Ce nodded. In this case, I'm afraid there is no way to know who hired the assassin to deal with him. After all, the identity of the employer is not asked here. Come to think of it, here they collect the employment fee first and then do the work.
.
There is no need to know the identity of the employer, so that the employer can feel at ease...
"Do you have any other questions?"
"This...if you collect the money and don't do the work..."
"Trust is never broken here. If your friends can't trust you, you can always ask them to come back."
The woman responded calmly.
"Well... I'll go back and think about it. After all, I have to pay the chips first, so I'm a little worried."
Fang Ce looked hesitant.
"please."
The woman responded, turned around and disappeared.
Fang Ce shook his head and turned around. He came here just to find out who hired the assassin. Since there were no clues here, there was no need to stay long.
Of course, there is another way, which is to subdue the organization directly, so that when the employer comes, he will be able to find out the identity of the other party.
However, this idea can only be thought about for the time being, because it is not simple here. There are beings who are far superior to him. It is not advisable to act rashly before figuring out the situation. After all, being confident in one's own strength is one thing.
It is still necessary to be cautious.
What's more, even if he can defeat the entire assassin organization here, he may not be able to conquer it. When the time comes, they will all disperse, and you won't be able to do anything about it.
Back in the capital, Fang Ce continued to search for the courtyard.
This assassin was repulsed by him, so it was naturally impossible for him to come back so soon.
It will also take time for the employer to go back and confirm the status and employment benefits.
As for who the employer will be, in his opinion, the most likely candidate is the Duke of Guo, because the Duke of Guo is far from clear about his true strength. It is estimated that only when the information is still in Yu County, can he hire someone of this level.
The assassin comes.
But King Fuzun is different. He obviously already knows his strength quite well. If he really wanted to assassinate him, it would be impossible to arrange an assassin of this level.
But this cannot be completely ruled out that King Fu Zun is secretly causing trouble. After all, there is a strategy called fanning the flames.
As long as the hatred and conflict between Fang Ce and the Duke of the country are aroused, it will be a benefit to King Fu Zun.
Now it seems that it is necessary to go to Tianji Pavilion again...
While Fang Ce was thinking about it, he found an empty courtyard with a pretty good environment on the southwest edge of Zhongcheng District, and settled down directly.
The capital is densely populated, so it's hard to find a place.
After returning to the post house, Fang Ce took Xin Yu and the two girls to their new residence.
Of course, it was unavoidable to register the situation at the inn. After all, the Holy One might want to find him and Xin Yu at any time.
Arrive at the new yard.
"How about it, two beauties."
Fang Ce smiled and spoke.
"It's good. It's better than the places I lived in before. It's quiet, and there are no annoying people hanging around in front of me every day."
Liang Xue nodded with satisfaction.
Fang Ce shook his head and smiled, naturally knowing that what he was talking about was referring to the people from Hecheng Fengshui Mansion.
"I don't have any objections. If you like it, you can stay here."
Xin Yu responded.
"Hmph, actually it's quite good like this. You can enjoy your leisure time and don't have to work hard. In the end, you won't get any credit, and you will be stabbed in the back."
Liang Xue shrugged.
"Well, I hope it won't have a big impact on the situation. After all, we are in internal trouble here, and those who suffer are the soldiers who are struggling to defend the enemy, as well as ordinary people."
Xin Yu sighed lightly.
"If the superiors don't do anything, there's nothing we can do."
Liang Xue shook her head.
"I hope things here can end as soon as possible."
Xin Yu was helpless.
Fang Ce just looked at the two women with a smile and didn't say much. He wanted to end this matter too early, after all, even the assassins were here. But it would be meaningless for him to say it now.
At night, inside the room.
Fang Ce once again put on the attire of Master Tianming before, and then went to Tianji Pavilion.
Come to the lake.
"Is this young master going to Tianji Pavilion?"
A sound rang out, and a small boat came to the shore. The boatman who came to pick it up this time was not the previous boatman.
"Yes."
Fang Ce smiled and nodded, and jumped directly onto the boat.
The boatman still took out his ocarina and played a few times, and then rowed towards the center of the lake.
"How many years has this elder brother worked at Tianji Pavilion?"
Fang Ce asked with a smile.
"It will be like this for about ten years, but it doesn't count as being in Tianji Pavilion anymore. We are just the boatmen who are escorting us, and are not official members of Tianji Pavilion. To be precise, we are just casual workers who have been recognized."
The boatman responded.
"Oh, that's how it is……"
Fang Ce nodded and didn't ask any more questions. In this case, these boatmen must know very little about Tianji Pavilion, and they probably won't be able to find out anything.
Soon after, we arrived at the small island in the center of the lake.
Only one person was seen waiting, and this person was not the previous butler.
"This young master, Steward Yang of Tianji Pavilion, is responsible for taking care of you."
The boatman spoke.
"Um."
Fang Ce nodded, got off the boat, exchanged a few words with Butler Yang, and walked to Tianji Pavilion.
"This distinguished guest wants to ask someone..."
"Ask people and things, but no matter what you ask, I ask to ask Mr. Tianji. I have met with Mr. Tianji before. If you ask him later, I believe he will not refuse."
Fang Ce responded directly. Master Tianji would definitely be clearer about what he wanted to ask, and he would naturally get a more detailed understanding by asking him directly.
"That's it...since your distinguished guest has such a request, I should comply with it."
Butler Yang nodded.
Come to Tianji Pavilion.
"Dear guest, please wait here for a moment while I go and ask Mr. Tianji what he wants."
"good."
Fang Ce nodded.
Butler Yang clasped his fists, turned around and went upstairs.
After a while.
"This young master, Mr. Tianji invites you."
Butler Yang returned to Fang Ce and clasped his fists respectfully.
"It's time to work."
Fang Ce nodded. As expected, Mr. Tianji would receive him directly...
Then, we came to where Mr. Tianji was again.
"Dear guest, I am sorry to welcome you from afar, please take a seat."
Mr. Tianji smiled and extended his hand to signal.
Fang Ce naturally sat down unceremoniously.
"I wonder what your distinguished guest would like to ask this time?"
Mr. Tianji leisurely poured a cup of tea for Fang Ce.
"Do you know anything about the assassin organization in Netherworld Mountain?"
Fang Ce spoke.
"The Assassin of Netherworld Mountain? I know a little bit about him. What do you want to ask me?"
Mr. Tianji was confused.
"I want to know the origin and strength of the strongest master hidden in Netherworld Mountain."
"Oh? Who do you want to ask? Yes, it's your bargaining chip."
Mr. Tianji showed interest.
"Is one Juyuan Fruit enough?"
Fang Ce asked.
"It's not enough. The person you're asking about needs at least three Yuanling Fruits. Ju Yuan Fruit is not enough."
Mr. Tianji smiled and shook his head.
"So expensive? You seem to be a ruthless person?"
Fang Zhili raised his eyebrows.
Mr. Tianji just smiled and said nothing.
"Okay, just three Yuanling Fruits."
Fang Ce took a breath and carefully took out three fruits. In fact, he had quite a lot of Yuanling Fruit, but he didn't want Master Tianji to see it, so he pretended to be in pain.
"This distinguished guest is of extraordinary origin."
Mr. Tianji smiled and took the spiritual fruit.
"Please tell me."
Fang Ce talks softly.
"The strongest one lurking in Netherworld Mountain is Taoist Ming An. He is a demon Taoist on the same level as Taoist Mingguang. He has practiced Taoism for nearly three thousand years. He possesses one of the seven best Taoist treasures, the Ice Silk Glove. On the surface, it is He must be the third strongest person in Taigan today."
Mr. Tianji responded.
"Oh? A demon Tao on the same level as Master Mingguang? Seven top-grade Taoist treasures?"
Fang Ce was surprised.
"The seven top-grade Taoist treasures are all Taoist treasures with heavenly fire-level spells. Your distinguished guest must know how powerful they are. And these ice silk gloves naturally possess ice-based spells."
"A Taoist treasure with a sky fire level spell... That's really the best farewell..."
Fang Ce nodded. It seemed that the assassin organization in Netherworld Mountain was really not simple. It might not be a wise move to target them directly.
It’s no wonder that the imperial court allowed such an organization to exist outside the capital. After all, this was a serious problem. When it made it clear that it would not offend the royal family, the imperial court naturally turned a blind eye...
"I wonder if your distinguished guest has anything else you would like to ask?"
Master Tianji smiled again and spoke.
"Also, I want to know...about the Heavenly Master and Martial Lord."
Fang Ce looked at Mr. Tianji calmly.
"Tianshi Wu Zun? As for this one...well...I'll give you a Yuan Gathering Fruit."
Master Tianji considered his response.
"Just one Juyuan Fruit?"
Fang Zhi was surprised.
"Well, after all, what I know about this person is an old story, and this person has disappeared. There is no danger in telling it, and it is a secret that must be told. Let's just tell a story. .”
Master Tianji shook his head.
"Okay, I'll thank you for your elaboration."
Fang Ce casually pulled out a Juyuan Fruit.
"Um."
Master Tianji accepted the spiritual fruit, took a sip of tea, and began to narrate: "Tianshi Wu Zun is the grandson of Taoist Shengtian. His name is Wei Ying. He is an extremely talented person. Not only has he inherited the inheritance of Taoist Shengtian, He also received generous gifts from Tianyan Martial Saint.
Whether it is magic or martial arts, almost no one in the same generation can compare with them. Before they have overcome the tribulation, they already have the strength to match those who overcome the tribulation. The ferocious Huns army in northern Xinjiang were repeatedly defeated by the sky. He was defeated by Master Wu Zun, and was even almost attacked by Heavenly Master Wu Zun into the hinterland of the Huns.
It's a pity that some unexpected circumstances occurred at the beginning, which resulted in the Celestial Master Wu Zun's army being almost wiped out, and only one of them was left to bring back his wife's head."
"Only one man came back with his wife's head?"
Fang Ce couldn't help but be surprised.
"Tianji Pavilion doesn't know much about this. It is said that in that battle, Heavenly Master Wu Zun was betrayed by the original prince. His wife was captured and then directly eaten by the Huns army in front of Tianshi Wu Zun. There was only one skull left to play with. Heavenly Master Wu Zun went crazy on the spot and went on a killing spree, killing him like crazy.
After he came back, he fell into the devil's path. He first killed the prince and the others who were in the northern border, and they continued to kill them all the way to the capital, but were stopped by Taoist Master Shengtian, and then disappeared."
Mr. Tianji shook his head and sighed.
"this……"
Fang Ce couldn't help but be stunned. The content here was beyond his expectation. He couldn't react. He couldn't help but ask again: "I wonder if this Heavenly Master Wu Zun has any children?"
He simply asked about the key points directly.
"Children? There is a daughter named Wei Yu. This Wei Yu is also the adopted daughter of the original prince."
Mr. Tianji responded.
"Wei Yu, the prince's adopted daughter?"
Fang Ce's eyes lit up, it seemed like this was it!
