Cars and horses jolting on the bumpy road of time will inevitably stir up dust. No matter how it sweeps and flies, it will never break through the sky. Even if it covers people's eyes, it will eventually subside. Everything in the world is like this. There is nothing. Can last forever.
Five years passed in a blink of an eye and with a few strokes.
In the Wutu Cave, the Witch King frowned, listening to the sect members at His Highness's banquet, reporting what they said one by one.
"Mr. Witch King, including the elders who were killed a few days ago, this is already the thirteenth time in three years!"
"That's not all! Some of the small sects are in panic and are said to have been disbanded!"
"I also heard that a few days ago, several sects announced that they were severing ties with Wu Tu Ku!"
Listening to the noise of the people below, the narrow-eyed Huazhi elder from Bixia Valley coughed twice and said loudly: "You guys, can you please stop listening to the wind and the rain and get yourself into trouble? If something happens, , How could the Lord Witch King just sit idly by?" After saying that, he bowed slightly to the Witch King and retreated into the crowd.
The Witch King nodded when he heard this, and said loudly: "That's right! There are a lot of rumors about this kind of thing outside now, but I sent people to investigate and found that these are nothing more than speculation! They are just trying to pour muddy water on us! The specific details are yet to be discussed!”
"Of course we believe what the Witch King said, but I heard some rumors... Could these things be done by that organization..." The man's voice lowered a bit, and he didn't know what he was afraid of.
"My dear friend, are you talking about..." The faces of these people turned pale. Even in the face of the Witch King's anger, they had never lost their composure like this.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible. In that war, were they clearly wiped out together with the demons? Are there still remnants?"
"Don't panic, everyone. This is just a rumor. Don't believe it! Besides, it's not like their style to be silent for so many years. Now that our alliance is so strong, even if they are still there, they will definitely not be our opponents! Come on! Do it! !" After the Witch King finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone felt a little dizzy and became bolder. They left their worries behind and saw that the Witch King was drunk, so they went back to their homes. Seeing that everyone in His Highness had dispersed, a strange figure walked into the door. It was unknown what kind of skills Lu Chun had practiced. The entire journey was shrouded in black mist and no one noticed.
"Witch King, are you calling me?" Lu Chun came to the hall, knelt on one knee respectfully and put his right hand on his left chest. He made a fist with his left hand and put his thumb on the top of his head. This was obviously the etiquette of Wu Tu Ku.
"Without ceremony, get up!" The Witch King, who was leaning on the stone table, did not look drunk at all, his eyes were full of clarity, "Skull! I have something for you to handle."
The Witch King stood up with his hands behind his back. After being silent for a long time, he asked, "Have you ever heard of 'Zixu'?"
Lu Chun was slightly startled and said in confusion: "I have heard of this name, but I heard that it is just an organization made up by people."
"No! It's just that people are too afraid to mention it." The Witch King frowned and clenched his fists.
In the old days, there was a killer organization circulating in the world. It comes and goes without a trace, is neither good nor evil, and does whatever it wants. If it is a task that it doesn't like, no matter how high or simple the reward is, it will not pay attention. If it is a worthy task, even if there is no reward, it will be completed beautifully.
The tasks only need to be posted on the list, and if they are worthy of attention, someone will naturally take it; the reward only needs to be placed on the table, and when the time is up, someone will naturally come to pick it up, without exception. Although this organization does not cause trouble, it has become a thorn in the side of some people.
After a mission was completed, the organization asked him to put the reward on the table, and he would come and pick it up at midnight. A certain sect's great master did not believe in evil and wanted to find out. He led many disciples to surround the table and waited for its arrival. He could win it in one fell swoop and become famous.
When the next day came, a dark cloud suddenly rolled up in the sky, completely blocking the moonlight. However, the powerful man was fully prepared and lit the torch, illuminating the house like daylight, which was very provocative. But after waiting and waiting but no one was coming, the powerful man laughed loudly because he was afraid and didn't dare to come, and then the whole room burst into laughter.
But as soon as the burst of laughter started, someone grabbed his throat. The air was terribly quiet. He only heard the knocking on the door, but no one was seen. It was very strange. The powerful man pulled a shivering disciple next to him, gave him a hard push, and asked him to open the door.
In the eyes of everyone, he walked towards the door tremblingly, slowly opened a gap, then let out a scream, sat on the ground, and quickly rubbed back, as if he saw an evil ghost.
Seeing this, everyone did not dare to breathe. They took up their weapons and carefully gathered around the door. Someone opened the door with a sword from a distance, but found that the door was empty. Something was wrong. They quickly looked back, only to find something on the table. The package disappeared out of thin air, replaced by a mask with a human face.
It turned out that this person had blended into the crowd early in the morning, and no one noticed anything strange. Everyone in the group looked at the powerful man with red faces. But he didn't say a word, as if he had been hit hard, and stood there blankly, when someone next to him gently pushed him.
Even though it was just a light touch, the great power actually tilted and fell to the ground, already lifeless. This made everyone present stunned. It took a while before they calmed down and carefully observed the great power. But there were no injuries on his body. The only thing that caught his attention was a note and a stone tablet in his hand. On the back of the stone plate is a special symbol and a number is engraved on the front, which is an item left on the spot after each mission by the organization to prove it. On the note, several large characters were scrawled wildly -
My name is fictitious, neither real nor fictitious. I don't care whether it's right or wrong. Anyone who insults me will be killed.
In the first head-to-head confrontation, Da Neng died mysteriously. He only learned the name of the organization. If the Da Neng knew about it, I wonder if he would regret this action. But after this operation, no one challenged Zixu's ability. Without a mission, there would be no Zixu in the world. If there was a mission, there would be no Zixu in the future.
Until later, in the battle where the three realms of immortals, demons and ghosts jointly fought against the demonic realm, the lives of the three realms were at stake. A group of people with ethereal shapes and skills appeared, dragging the demonic realm people far away, and the battle was roaring. Not long after, I saw light shining in the distance, as if a second sun had risen, turning everything on the battlefield into nothingness. From that day on, the demonic path was destroyed, and Zixu was never heard from again, and no one remembered him anymore.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a mysterious organization in the human world at that time?" Lu Chun narrowed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Immortals and demons are all in one year, and their bodies rot and turn into ghosts and gods. In the final analysis, except for the demon path, the other three paths are all transformed by mortals. It's just that the paths are different and they don't conspire with each other." The Witch King said lightly, "Stop talking nonsense. Our first priority now is to protect our immediate interests. After so many years, there has been no news about this Five Elements man. Although he will definitely know the whereabouts of the 'Five Elements Cauldron', compared to the threat of 'Zixu', we can wait a little longer. , after all, it’s only a few days away...Shou, go ahead..."
Sanchawu is named after it is located at the intersection of two rivers upstream, and the two rivers converge downward toward Qingyang Mountain in the distance.
A large merchant ship docked at the pier. The merchants were busy unloading their goods. The shipman was facing a tall and tall man of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a black gauze hat. The young man wearing a black robe with patterns nodded and bowed: "Master Qingshe, I have moved all your goods for you. I don't know if this time..." The boatman twirled his fingers and said with a smile.
The young master was holding an iron mesh birdcage in his hand, but there was no bird in the cage. A white snake could be vaguely seen, its eyes were spinning wildly, and it was jumping around in the cage. The young master knocked the cage a few times before it calmed down. Hearing the boatman's words, he nodded and gestured.
"Old man Bai, when has our young master ever sent you money? Here it is!" Next to the young master, a slightly younger boy with short hair in a navy blue robe took out a money bag with a look of reluctance, "Go and Go, get lost!"
"Hehe, okay, sir, when will I come to pick you up?" The strong black man called Old Man Bai was not angry, as if he was used to it, he rubbed his face with his money bag and said with a smile.
"Just wait for me to send the message!" Although the Qingshe Master was tall and tall, his words were hoarse and he coughed a few times, as if he had caught the cold. After saying this, he held the birdcage and left the port with the young man beside him, and behind them were three men carrying burdens.
This Sancha dock was originally an ordinary shipyard, but two sects were built around it. Although the sect was not big, the followers coming and going made this ordinary shipyard develop into a large-scale trading port. A large city has been built inside. There are bandits in the mountains and water bandits in the water. In order to prevent the blind thieves, a patrol team was formed in the city, and it seemed like that.
Mr. Qingshe and his party of five people and one snake delivered the goods to several stores. After saying a few polite words, they settled in a small inn. In the closed door, Mr. Qingshe took off his bamboo hat and went A childish baby face with a hint of determination appeared, looking a bit younger than the boy next to him. This baby face was deeply loved by women. Whenever he went out to do things, he would always receive "motherly love", so he simply brought a bamboo hat to add a bit of mystery.
Finally relaxing, the group let out a long breath and watched as the person in front of them took out a fruit from somewhere and teased the white snake a few times until the white snake spat out the fruit angrily before throwing it into the cage. The short-haired boy suddenly asked: "I asked on the way. The two targets this time are in two sects. Although they are not close to each other, they must travel by water. It is inevitable that rumors will leak out and alert others. What should we do this time?"
"Don't worry, Yuan Hua, there will be a way. Let's go downstairs and take you to have a big dinner!" The young master of Qingshe picked up the bamboo hat and said with a smile, without even a hint of coldness.
"Brother Wufan! The little bald donkey should stay here to look after the house! Our three brothers will bring him some fruit to eat later!" The three Jia brothers had evil smiles on their faces.
"Bah! I'm not the White Snake! What kind of fruit are you eating...Boss, it's vicious to me!" Yuan Hua ducked behind Wu Fan and watched the White Snake glare at him.
"Hahaha..." There was a burst of laughter in the room.
