It was night, and the small house was quiet, except for the flash of swords and swords in Wei Changtian's room from time to time.
The battle doesn't seem big, but if someone could see the scene in the room at this time, their jaw would probably drop.
I saw twenty-nine swords floating in the air in the dim candlelight, intertwined and intertwined, and their cold flashes were dazzling.
Sometimes they are arranged in a straight line, sometimes in a herringbone shape, sometimes like blooming flowers, sometimes in a very funny "hanging" shape...
"Ding~"
The two long swords banged together lightly, making a crisp sound.
With a sigh, the twenty-nine swords suddenly turned around and disappeared into a scabbard in the blink of an eye.
"well......"
Wei Changtian shook his head, looked at the red rope on the handle of Longyin knife and took a deep breath.
Twenty-nine handles is almost the limit.
It has been two days since he came back from Shiwanda Mountain. During these two days, he almost stayed at home to practice "Wanren Yin".
At first, he could only control ten or so at the same time. After eating the bodhi flowers, this number doubled, reaching the current number of twenty-nine.
However, it is still a bit difficult to control twenty-nine flying blades at the same time, and collisions like just now often occur.
If you want to be "handy", twenty is the best.
"Wanren Yin", like "Dream Path", is a special magical power, not a martial skill, so if you continue to practice it, it will not have much effect.
If you want to continue to improve, you must either improve your realm or improve your mental strength.
Forget it, let’s leave it like this for now, twenty handles are enough to be awesome.
Wei Changtian decided that the training on "Wanbian Yin" would end here, and he would first practice "Tianluo Fist" and "Fuyao Step" to perfection.
Gathering his mind, he took a sip of herbal tea and fixed his gaze on a notice on the table.
This is a public notice posted by the state government this morning. It has three main contents.
1. Ning Yuke's "remains" have been found in the moat. The entire body was completely unrecognizable. The government determined that she was Princess Rou'an through her body shape, clothing and jewelry.
Second, Shao Ying'an, the state pastor, mysteriously disappeared yesterday. The specific reason is still under investigation. Sima will temporarily take over the government affairs of Shuzhou.
Third, the imperial guards have arrived in Shuzhou City and will escort the remains of Prince Shun, a princess, and the two princesses back to Beijing for burial in five days. At that time, the people in the city can see them off along the way.
More than half a month has passed since the assassination of the prince. Although the public is still lively, the whole incident seems to have entered the final stage.
The culprit, "Xuantianhui Shuzhou Branch" has been wiped out, and other branches in other places are expected to suffer disaster one after another.
Princess Rou'an, who had disappeared since the incident, is also dead. Regardless of whether she was innocent or "committed suicide out of fear of crime," there has indeed been a lot less talk about her.
There is also Shao Ying'an who disappeared mysteriously.
Of course Wei Changtian knew that this was Ning Yongnian's gradual liquidation of traitors to the party, but he didn't bother to think about what the uninformed ordinary people would think of him.
"Dong dong dong~"
A slight knock on the door suddenly reached my ears.
"Enter."
Wei Changtian responded casually, and then saw Zhang San duck into the house.
"Sir, Mr. Chu has arrived and brought five people with him."
...
A quarter of an hour later.
The secret room was brightly lit. In addition to Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping, there were five young men standing in the room. Each of them had a black pill in front of them.
These five people were all selected from the Freemasonry at the request of Wei Changtian.
He has good talent for cultivation, is literate, and is less than twenty-five years old.
"...I have said everything that needs to be said, and I believe you are already aware of the pros and cons."
"I will never force others to make things difficult for you, and you don't have to worry about it. You can eat whatever you want, and don't eat if you don't want to."
"Now, I'll give you one stick of incense to choose."
"..."
The candlelight flickered slightly and there was silence.
The five young men looked at each other, and no one hesitated. They all immediately picked up the Puppet Pill and stuffed it into their mouths, swallowing it into their stomachs with their Adam's apple squirming.
The next second, the pupils of the five people shrank slightly, and then returned to normal after a few breaths.
They looked at Wei Changtian with some confusion, as if they didn't feel any changes in themselves.
But Wei Changtian knew that the Puppet Pill had taken effect.
From this moment on, if anyone among these five people has the intention of betraying him, what awaits him is an instant tragic death.
"Snapped!"
A wooden box was thrown on the table, with five demon pills of about the same size lying inside.
"Each person can take one of the demon spirit pills containing twenty years of Taoism."
"..."
Although the five men looked a little excited, they did not shirk and immediately stepped forward to take one each.
On the other side, Wei Changtian continued calmly:
"Starting from tomorrow, you will no longer be your past selves."
"Name, origin, age, everything will be arranged by Mr. Chu for you. You have one month to adapt to your new identity."
"During this month, I will send someone to teach you a sword technique and daily behavior."
"In one month, you will enter Shuzhou City with a new identity, as well as various gangs and sects in the capital, and even government offices."
"At that time, everything will have to be on your own. I may help you secretly, but I may not."
"And you have only one goal, and that is to climb up by any means necessary."
Wei Changtian's eyes narrowed and he asked in a deep voice:
"do you understand?"
"I'll understand later!"
The expressions of the five people were extremely serious, and they almost growled in reply.
"Um......"
Wei Changtian nodded with satisfaction. This scene inevitably reminded him of Eric Tsang's classic opening line in "Infernal Affairs".
He looked at the five people standing upright across from him and suddenly smiled on a whim:
"Then I wish you all good luck and success!"
...
...
Another quarter of an hour later.
The five young men have left, and only Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping are left in the secret room.
"Sir, I already have a rough idea of the candidates for the second batch, and I'm currently checking their details. They will be confirmed in about ten days..."
"I will list everyone's future destinations, and the final decision will be made by the Young Master..."
"I have already found their training place. If you are interested, young master, you can take the time to go and have a look..."
"..."
Chu Xianping reported various tasks in an orderly manner, and Wei Changtian kept sighing in his heart while listening.
Taking Chu Xianping for his own use is so damn right!
Just give him an idea and he will realize it for you immediately!
From this perspective, Chu Xianping is somewhat similar to Li Yang.
It's just that one of them is "Martial" and the other is "Wen".
Good guy, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix???
"Sir, I have something else I need you to come up with."
On the other side, Chu Xianping didn't know Wei Changtian's psychological activities, and suddenly asked: "Does this organization want to have a name?"
"name?"
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, the first thing that popped into his mind was the intelligence organization established by Xiao Feng in the original work - Breaking Dawn.
This name is indeed quite domineering, but it always feels like it is about overthrowing some evil dynasty and saving the common people.
What's more, every time he thinks of these two words, Wei Changtian always thinks of Naruto.
In this case, it might as well be called...
"Same boat."
"Same boat?"
Chu Xianping pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I understand."
We are in the same boat.
Wei Changtian actually just wanted to make up an idiom.
Although he had certain expectations for this second- and fifth-level organization, he never expected at this moment what a terrifying code name the three words "Together in the Boat" would become in the future.
