He climbed up to the roof lightly, and no one noticed him under the cover of his cassock. He stood up and felt the wind speed at this time, glanced at the distance between himself and Song Zheng, and began to make an estimate in his mind.
Then, he touched his hand and took out a strange big bow and an arrow from his mustard fingers. He held the bow and nocked the arrow, but did not take action immediately. He just stood quietly on the roof of the building, borrowing the opportunity.
Wearing the cover of the cassock, we patiently waited for the opportunity.
"Snake Eyes" was notoriously vicious in the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty. Even among the seven human races on the east bank of the Ling River, they were still ranked among the top five killer organizations.
Any famous killer organization in the world will tell their clients: As long as you have enough Yuan Yu, they can help you kill anyone.
Of course, everyone knows that this is just propaganda, but on the east bank of the Ling River, the killer organizations have indeed had brilliant achievements: the five major killer organizations once joined forces to make a deal and successfully assassinated a senior Zhenguo!
So on the east bank of the Ling River, when they say this, there is still some credibility. But it is more about asking the employer to pay more. What kind of price corresponds to what kind of killer.
In Snake Eyes, the highest-level "Dragon Viper" can assassinate the peak ancestor. The next-level "Tiger Ring" can hunt ordinary ancestors. And he is the best among the third-level "Dark Viper".
Codenamed "Viper One" in the organization.
He has killed seventeen Heavenly Lords, six of whom were peak Heavenly Lords.
This time the employer was extremely generous, 60% more than the normal price, so the organization decided to send him to take action. Although he was protected by a peak ancestor, he had already investigated clearly in advance. For this task, he applied to the organization
Got two valuable treasures.
One is the "Thousand-mile Bow".
This set of bows and arrows is a special magical weapon, which the organization secretly killed four peak ancestors in exchange for being refined by a mysterious weapon-making master.
Bows and arrows have no other power, they are just quick.
The weapon maker used special techniques to make this "thousand-mile bow" truly reach the speed of "a thousand miles and an instant", faster than the line of sight. When you see the arrow, it has actually hit you.
As long as he shoots this arrow, Song Zheng will be dead. At such a close distance, even the peak ancestor cannot save him.
The second is "Bing Xin Lock".
The Ice Heart Lock can solidify the whole body's aura and murderous intent. This is not to prevent Song Zheng from noticing, but to prevent Qi Bingchen. From Wei Yi's point of view, the biggest difficulty in this assassination lies not with Song Zheng, but with Qi Bingchen beside Song Zheng.
Song Zheng had just entered Duanyang. Judging from his cautious temperament, he was afraid that the peak ancestor would protect him for a while.
With the Ice Heart Lock, he can hide from Qi Bingchen. As for Song Zheng... Viper has killed seventeen Heavenly Lords, and after this time, the number will increase to eighteen.
The subsequent retreat plan was specially formulated by the organization to ensure that he could escape under the tracking of the peak ancestor.
It is said that the employer was very satisfied after hearing that he had taken action, and was convinced that the target was already dead.
As a killer, he is very patient and knows that real good opportunities are not created but waiting for them. And many novices in this line of work, who have just killed a few powerful targets and are at their peak, will never
They will understand this truth. They will try every means to create opportunities for assassination, and death will not be far away.
Suddenly, his closed eyes opened slightly: in front of the small courtyard, the old man had rushed back, and he was still panting and saying something to Song Zheng a dozen steps away.
Song Zheng and Qi Bingchen are in some confusion, and now is the best time to assassinate them.
He quickly drew the bow and fired the arrow, igniting the spiritual energy with his fingers. A trace of spiritual light quickly spread forward from the tail of the arrow, following the formation carved inside the arrow, and was transmitted to the arrowhead.
But just when he was about to let go, he suddenly saw Song Zheng looking back at him in front of the small white-walled courtyard ten miles away!
Viper Yi's heart beat heavily, this look penetrated his soul! He subconsciously felt that this was impossible.
Song Zheng was only in the early stage of the Mingtong Realm, and the peak ancestor beside him had not yet reacted. However, Song Zheng glanced at the moment he was about to take action. What does it mean? It means that he has already noticed him and has everything under control.
The viper did not dare to delay for a moment. He quickly put away his bow and arrows and stuffed them into his mustard fingers. He slid down from the tall building in a flash and galloped towards a shadow at the corner of the street.
In front of the small courtyard, Song Zheng smiled and said to the old man: "Wait a moment to deal with a small matter."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the shadow and faced the killer Viper.
Wei Yi was shocked. He was a killer. He was good at assassinations, but not good at head-to-head confrontations. Although he and Song Zheng were both in the early stage of the Mingtong Realm, but Song Zheng had his sword on his waist, Wei Yi's whole body was cold and he didn't dare to move.
.
At this time, he was the prey targeted by the poisonous snake.
Swish
Song Zheng drew his sword and struck the sky, then easily sheathed it. The drunken dragon's azure light flashed away. Viper Yi instantly recalled in his mind the seventeen Heavenly Lords he had killed. Did they feel the same as him before they died?
I feel endless regret, but died quietly...
Song Zheng stretched out his hand to support the fallen body of Viper, as if he were holding a drunk friend, and walked towards the shadows.
He quickly checked the killer's body and found several magical weapons to conceal his aura, a robe, a magical jade lock, and a mustard finger.
Song Zheng was a little confused: Who in Duanyang City was so anxious to kill him?
But he always felt that this assassination was not that simple, but there was something unusual in it that he couldn't figure out for a while.
He quickly discovered the function of the Ice Heart Lock and understood why the killer was able to hide from Qi Bingchen's perception. But since he built the Void God Town, the souls with obvious malice towards him at such a close distance have no way to escape.
He opened the Mustard Finger and found it was empty, except for a bow, an arrow, and a bamboo talisman.
These bows and arrows were of great importance, Song Zheng had sensed them just now. The bamboo talisman was a bit strange, with an ancient text engraved on it, but it looked more like a simple symbol.
Song Zheng had no idea what the purpose of this bamboo talisman was.
"Is it the killer's identity certificate?" However, this speculation was quickly overturned by himself, because he had recognized that the material of this bamboo talisman was the extremely rare "nine-layered ten-thousand-year bamboo". This material is the only one in the world.
One of the most outstanding carriers of strange formations, if the formation masters in this world were asked to choose the material they are most willing to use to build formation piles, 90% of them would choose the nine-layer ten thousand year bamboo.
As for the killer's brand, a jade medal is enough, but it would be a waste to use nine-layer ten-thousand-year-old bamboo.
Unable to figure it out for a moment, Song Zheng threw the body into the small cave world, and Jiezhi took it away by himself.
The next moment, he returned to the yard with a smile on his face: "Master, please continue."
Du Baihu was at a loss, and Qi Bingchen noticed when Song Zheng glanced at him. While feeling ashamed, he also felt relieved about Song Zheng. So when Song Zheng went to kill the killer, he did not intervene.
At nightfall, Song Zheng had already cleared the money and deeds, and took everyone to move into the small courtyard. After all, it was inconvenient to live outside the city.
He called Zeng Baihu over and said, "Please contact Huzhou and ask Mr. Pangong Xie to come over and do something for me." Zeng Baihu went as ordered, and the news was passed back to Pangong Xie in Huzhou City.
…
The next morning, the news spread: Song Zheng, the newly appointed Longyi Guard Jiangnan patrol envoy, bought a small courtyard in the city for thirty times the price.
The first reaction of all the forces was to laugh: He is indeed a prodigal second generation ancestor. Thirty thousand yuan in jade is not a lot, but it cannot be spent like this.
Later, all parties found out that the owner of this small courtyard was a "well courtyard" left by the old head of the Ouye family, which had not been used for many years.
Everyone suddenly realized: It turned out that they wanted to get close to the Ouye family, the first family in Duanyang City, but this petition was a bit shallow.
They had a second evaluation of Song Zheng: he was too smart and lacked the firepower.
The Ouye family is not a medieval family, or even an eternal family. It has only been five hundred years since they became a family, but no one denies that the Ouye family is the first Duanyang family, or even the first Xizhou family. Even those medieval families
He was willing to be defeated because the old head of the Ouye clan, Ou Yegong, was really against the will of heaven.
He had some qualifications for cultivation. When he was ten years old, he was accepted into the sect of a small sect. When he reached the age of fifty, he was only in the realm of the Ten Paths of Veins and Rivers. Originally, this was how he would be for the rest of his life. But after he turned fifty, Ou Yegong suddenly
After finding the direction, he accidentally saw the sect leader inside the door making the weapon, and thought it was "very simple", so the sect leader asked him to try it, and he easily made a fifth-level magic weapon.
From then on, it took him just thirty years to become the most outstanding weapon master in the Hongwu Dynasty. Then he continued to challenge himself, and his highest achievement was to refine a ninth-level spiritual treasure! It took thousands of years
, the only person in the entire Hongwu dynasty who had touched the edge of the "holy object".
He has made good friends with many powerful people who control the country, and the high-level spiritual treasures he refined shine with the brightest light in the hands of these powerful people who control the country, killing powerful enemies one by one.
Each of his works was priceless, and he soon became the richest man in Duanyang City. Even those medieval aristocratic families asked for their hands for a valuable treasure.
He established the Ouye family, paved the way with magical weapons, and grew rapidly. Each of his children has achieved extremely high achievements, and his grandchildren have also grown up. If their qualifications are not good enough, they can take spiritual pills; if they are not good at fighting, they can use spiritual treasures.
One hundred and fifty years ago, Ou Yegong ran out of life and passed away, leaving behind a treasure trove of treasures. With this, the Ou Ye family still stands today and continues to grow and become the first family in Duanyang City.
At that time, Ou Yegong chose to settle in Duanyang because this place is located on the earth's veins, and the spiritual veins produce precious water, which can be used to refine swords. He dug nineteen wells in the city, and thirteen of them gushed out precious water. But the other six wells
He did not give up. He felt that he was not wrong. Sooner or later, precious water would gush out of these wells.
So for every well, he built a small courtyard, called "well courtyard", and the one Song Zheng bought was one of them. And it was one of the six wells that did not produce water.
