At the end of ancient times, the human race, led by the Fuxi, Suiren, and Shennong tribes, finally defeated the demons at a very heavy price, and expelled all the remaining demons from the fairy world, ushering in the long-lost era of peace.
Although they won, the entire Immortal World has been severely weakened. Countless masters who once stood proudly among the heroes have fallen in the war. Many large and arrogant forces have also collapsed, and order and law have become empty talk.
As a result, a period of chaos that was no less than a war between humans and demons began. People from all sides began a melee that lasted for more than a hundred years for their own benefit. Land, money, minerals and other resources have all become objects of robbery. Today you occupy If you occupy an area, it may be slaughtered by others tomorrow.
During this period of history known as the "Ancient Troubled Times", human life has become the most worthless thing, and people are dying miserably with swords every moment. Underneath, tragic scenes were staged in every corner of the fairy world.
Driven by huge market demand, a very ancient profession has also experienced unprecedented development, that is, killer.
If the previous killers carried out their activities in an individual capacity, then in the troubled times, prestigious organizations began to emerge one after another. They used various means to win over many skilled killers, with their high efficiency, The advantages of stealth and security quickly reshaped the industry.
The Shadow Killing Pavilion, the Eighteen Monsters of the Qinjiang River, Black Jasmine, etc. are all super killer groups that make people talk about it. They have strict hierarchies, clear division of labor, and each have their own ace killers and unique styles. They can be said to be in the limelight. , the same for a while.
However, when it comes to the assassin organization with the highest mission success rate, it must be the group of people walking deep in the northern continent of Fairyland. Their whereabouts are erratic, and they receive assassination orders based entirely on their mood.
No one knows when the mysterious building in the ice and snow was built, and no one knows why all of these killers have special skills, but there is only one thing that is recognized by everyone in the fairy world, and that is that as long as The target targeted by these Snow Country killers will definitely die without any exception.
Their deeds were talked about in the public, and gradually became a little mysterious. Su Shi, the first scholar in the fairy world at that time,
After being drunk once, my husband took the initiative to give this group of killers a name - Tingxuelou.
There was a gentle breeze at night, and Su Shi, who was lying on the soft bed, suddenly woke up. Under the bright and frosty moonlight, there was a figure of a jade tree leaning on the eaves of his half-open window.
The man exuded a compelling heroic spirit, looking mysterious and powerful against the backdrop of the night. He had a long sword slung across his waist, a glass wine pot in his left hand, and the three-letter card with "Tingxue Tower" written on it in his right hand. Words on rice paper.
"Tingxue Tower, that's great. I like this name. From now on we'll call it Tingxue Tower."
The figure smiled slightly and took out a snow-white jade sign from his arms. With just a slight wave of his hand, "Snow" suddenly appeared on the jade sign. word, and then threw it directly to Su Shi, who was still sitting on the bed and was too shocked to move.
"With this jade token, you and your descendants can treat us three times for free. No matter who the target is, it will be regarded as your reward for naming us."
Then the man disappeared into the night, leaving Su Shi stroking the cold jade token in his hand, wondering whether he was in a dream or not.
The next day, the news of the appearance of the owner of the Snow Tower spread like wildfire. However, even if Su Shi swore that what he said was true and took out the jade plaque to prove it, not many people believed him. In the end, even Su Shi himself thought the jade plaque was just a joke, so he hid it at home and never took it out again.
It was not until many years later that Su Shi's youngest daughter offended the legitimate son of a leader of a large force and was finally hunted down until she had no choice but to remember the promise made by that figure, and after a lot of effort, she finally dug it out of a certain box. After getting out of the jade token, he took his family all the way to a small town deep in the north.
It is said that all the missions in Tingxue Tower are
It can be completed in this small town, but whether a killer comes to pick him up in the end depends entirely on the mood of the person. However, at this time, Su Shi is already a dead horse and a living horse doctor. According to the rumors, the name of the person he wants to assassinate is written in black. Blood was written on the wooden board, and then he checked into a hotel in the town and began the torturous wait.
Time passed day by day, and just as he and his family were gradually despairing, the missing person
The wooden board and a note that suddenly appeared on the table in the room made the great writer ecstatic.
"The contract is completed, the remaining times are two."
Just two days later, bad news came from the overlord forces north of the Weishui River. The leader and his legitimate son both died, and they died in the most heavily guarded base camp.
Since then, the name of Tingxue Tower has been resounding in the fairy world, and Su Shi, who has the right to "place unconditional orders" twice, has also become a man of great influence. Under his writing, this mysterious killer force began to enter the world. The vision of more people also laid the foundation for officially joining the fight for hegemony in the fairy world hundreds of years later.
"I didn't expect Tingxue Tower to have such an origin story. If it weren't for your identity as the guide to the snow realm, I probably wouldn't have known such secrets in my life. "
After listening to Miao Jiaxi's story, Li Mu was also sighing. He did not expect that Tingxuelou, which is now in the limelight, was actually a killer organization a thousand years ago.
There is neither the bondage of blood nor the fetters of ethnic groups. It is completely a group of killers who spontaneously formed around the leader. However, it can withstand the passage of time and the changes of the times and develop into what it is now. It is simply amazing.
"Although the Tingxue Tower was very famous before, it was ultimately just a killer group driven by others. Although it could secretly threaten the safety of key figures in large forces, its real hard power was far inferior to those who had the numbers to move forward. Gangs and sects with hundreds of thousands of people."
"And when the concept of country emerged in the immortal world, each country with vast territory became the main force in dividing resources and wealth. Immortal cultivating sects and gang forces either relied on the country's imperial power, or hid behind the scenes to listen to politics. For example, the Guixu Sect in the South China Sea has indirectly or directly controlled hundreds of countries, and this model has gradually become the real mainstream."
"After the chaos subsided and the golden age of peace came, the killer's living space became smaller and smaller. Tingxue Tower also completely disappeared during those hundreds of years, and became only mentioned by street storytellers. legendary stories.”
After talking about the origin of Tingxue Tower, Miao Jiasi did not stop talking. Time jumped forward a hundred years with her words and came to a new era, and the story of Tingxue Tower also entered a turning point.
