Long Chitai left the room, and Shao Xi sat there alone, taking out the glove from his pocket again and looking at it over and over.
"It's really strange. I can't tell what kind of material it is made of. Is there any advanced technology or unknown materials in this world? This looks better than the Xishu golden silk and South China Sea black shark used in 'Soft Gold Winding' The tendons are even more powerful, and the texture is almost invisible, and it looks more like leather gloves."
Shao Xi was studying there with his gloves when Old Wu opened the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, Old Wu saw the gloves in Shao Xi's hand. He stepped forward and snatched them away, looking at them carefully under the light.
"Are these the gloves I wore when I took your sword tonight?"
"Hey! The old guy is quite knowledgeable! I know this is a good thing, but I just don't know if you can tell me what this glove is made of?"
Old Wu glanced at Shao Xi with disdain and said disdainfully: "Do you think I am a bumpkin like you? This glove is made of the skin of the horned lizard from the Western Regions, drawn and woven into threads. This is comparable to the one on your body. The soft armor and the fan in hand are much stronger. The skin of this horned lizard is originally extremely hard and cannot be directly made into gloves. However, it can be made into armor. Unfortunately, there are too few horned lizards and they are too rare. Some people are in the desert. I've been wandering around here and there but never met one."
When Shao Xi heard what Lao Wu said, he became interested for a moment. He asked hurriedly: "Then tell me quickly, what is this horned lizard? Why are the gloves made of its skin so strong?"
Old Wu put the glove on his hand and grasped it several times, seemingly feeling the flexibility and fit of the glove.
"This dragon-horned lizard is a rare and mysterious spiritual creature in the Western Regions. It is called the dragon-horned lizard because it has a hard object in the shape of a dragon's horn on its head. Its skin is extremely hard, better than steel. If it is made of Wearing the armor, it can be said that it is invulnerable to fire and water. It is a pity that this dragon-horned lizard is only encountered once in a hundred years. Even if it is encountered by ordinary people, it cannot be subdued, let alone killed. The gloves used are The abdominal skin of the horned lizard is softer, easier to draw into threads, and has excellent toughness. Wearing this glove will not cause any damage whether it is in water, fire, or rolling hot oil. Such a good thing fell into your hands, and you have finally caught it this time."
When Shao Xi heard that what he got was a rare treasure, he was immediately excited. Since coming to Daliang City, he found that his luck was getting better and better, and he could always get some good things that he had never seen or even heard of.
While excited, Shao Xi seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly reached out and took out something from his arms and threw it in front of Old Wu.
"Help me find out what these are? Where do they come from? How do I find them?"
Old Wu put down his gloves, took the thing thrown by Shao Xi in his hand, looked at it, raised his hand and threw it back to Shao Xi.
"Where did you get the badge of the Ghost Emperor's Mansion? I advise you not to get involved with these people. None of them are cheap. Don't make yourself embarrassed when the time comes."
What Lao Wu said is another blind spot of Shao Xi's knowledge.
Shao Xi asked helplessly: "This was found from the envoy of Baiye Kingdom. Can you tell me where this Ghost Emperor's Mansion is? Why should you stay away from these people?"
Old Wu shook his head, sighed and said: "Why do you always provoke these people who are not humans, ghosts or not? This Ghost Emperor's Mansion is a sect in the world, worshiping the Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions and Yama of the Ten Palaces. The rules and regulations of the Ghost Emperor's Mansion are strict. The people in the mansion are secretive and elusive, and do not interact with secular people on weekdays. The masters in this sect practice some evil martial arts, the techniques are weird, the moves are cruel, and they never kill people. No reason is needed, just say that the time has come to bring people into the house, and you'd better stay away from them."
It was okay not to mention it. After Old Wu said this, Shao Xi became interested.
"Where is the Ghost Emperor's Mansion? I really want to see it. And what is this belt used for? Is it used to enter the Ghost Emperor's Mansion?"
When he heard that Shao Xi said he wanted to visit the Ghost Emperor's Mansion, Old Wu almost lost his temper. I wonder why this child is so careless? The more he is not allowed to provoke anyone, the more he will provoke someone! The more you don't let him go, the more he will go!
"Have you lost your mind? How can you go to the Ghost Emperor's Mansion just by asking? Even if you go, you may not be able to come out. It's a place where souls are locked up. Why are you going there?"
"Go and investigate the case! The envoy of the Baiye Kingdom has the sign of the Ghost Emperor's Palace on his body, so he must be related to the Ghost Emperor's Palace. Naturally, I want to find out what the relationship between the Ghost Emperor's Palace and this envoy is. He is a What are the intentions of the foreign envoys in contacting the Central Plains Wulin Sect?"
Old Wu shook his head and muttered, "You kid is really troublesome. The case has been traced to the Ghost Emperor's Mansion. That 'Judge of Impermanence' Shen Bugai is not someone you can afford to offend now." .”
"Is the 'Judge of Impermanence' Shen Bugai you call so powerful? What level is he now?"
Glancing at Shao Xi, who was confused, Old Wu said teasingly: "What level? I am now in the 'Qi Transformation Realm', do you think I am powerful?"
"Uh——! Just pretend I didn't say anything just now."
I have to say that Shao Xi has just been promoted to the fifth level recently, and he really feels that he is a little drifting. Now that he is being scolded by Lao Wu, he can clearly understand the gap between himself and the master.
However, Shao Xi was still somewhat unwilling to give in, and continued to ask Lao Wu: "Can you tell me more about the Ghost Emperor's Mansion? And what is this sign used for?"
Old Wu took off the wine flask from his waist, took a sip of wine, and said slowly: "The Ghost Emperor's Mansion was originally just some good men and women from the world who often went to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva. I don't know when it formed such a mysterious place. In this sect, the Bodhisattvas stopped worshiping, and instead worshiped the Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions and Yama of the Ten Palaces. No one in the world knew what they had gone through. For so many years, no one knew who their leader was. This person was extremely mysterious. He has never shown his face in the martial arts world, but the "Wuchang Judge" under him, Shen Bugai, is famous in the martial arts world. His skills are mysterious and his moves are strange. A judge's pen allows him to achieve extraordinary results. It is said that few people in the martial arts world can do this. He left alive in front of him. He also has six masters under his command, they are Qin Chuan, the Forgotten Hesou, Liu Naihe, the Naihe Bridge Woman, Shi Yong, the Three Lives Stone Lord, Hua Qianhui, the Flower Immortal on the other side, and others There are also two Hei Wuchang who often go out to do things for him, 'Hei Wuchang' is called Tong Fang, and 'Bai Wuchang' is called Gao Jiang. These people are also somewhat famous in the world."
Shao Xi was stunned for a while. Good guy! There are actually people in this world who treat people inappropriately and want to go out and do ghosts. It’s really eye-opening!
"What does this non-human, non-ghost sect do on a daily basis? I don't believe they don't need to eat."
"Kill! As long as the price is enough, they will kill anyone, from emperors to babies. They only recognize money and not people."
"Holy crap, isn't that a well-organized killer group? And it has no bottom line and no professional ethics."
Lao Wu said in a mocking tone: "Bottom line? Ethics? You have already made a living by killing people, so what kind of bottom line ethics can you talk about? But they do value their reputation in the world. As long as they receive money, that's it. It is the King of Hell who wants you to die at the third watch and will never let you go until the fifth watch."
Shao Xi shook the sign in his hand and continued to ask: "Let's talk now! What is this sign for?"
"This card is called the Life Card. Only those who hold this card can enter the Ghost Emperor's Mansion and negotiate the business of killing people with the 'Impermanent Judge' Shen Buzai. Without this card, no matter who you are, you will die when you enter the mansion, even if you are the King of Heaven. It won’t work even if I come here.”
Shao Xi asked with some confusion: "Doesn't the imperial court know that there is such a murderous haunted house? Why didn't it send troops to destroy it?"
Old Wu was amused by Shao Xi's question and said jokingly: "The world is so big and there are many sects and sects. If they send troops to exterminate them if they disagree with each other, then the soldiers under the Holy Lord will have to work to death? Besides, over the years, although they have Occasionally they come out to cause trouble, but they do not threaten the country and the country, and the court is stable, so naturally they turn a blind eye."
Shao Xi fell into deep thought at this time.
Old Wu was indeed right. The Holy Emperor was concerned about world affairs, and he had no time to pay attention to the trivial matters in the world, but the current matter seemed not that simple.
This killer organization with no taboos has a murder business connection with the envoy of the White Night Kingdom, otherwise the envoy would not have this life-killing card in his hand.
And this envoy has some kind of relationship with the man in black robe. According to current speculation, the man in black robe most likely wants to create chaos around the Jingyuan Empire, so as to take advantage of the chaos to seize the imperial power. Based on this connection, will the current sage Xiao Changyi also become the next target of this killer organization?
To put it simply, they colluded with neighboring foreign countries to stir up war around the Jingyuan Empire, and then took the opportunity to bribe assassins to organize regicide to seize the throne. After successfully seizing power, he used pre-negotiated terms to establish a truce with neighboring foreign countries, thereby appeasing internal civil and military officials and local people, making his power-seizing behavior reasonable and legal, and taking the opportunity to be respected as orthodox.
Shao Xi thought of this and told Lao Wu his thoughts. Lao Wu was also surprised after hearing this. Unexpectedly, in this power struggle within the court, some people have begun to borrow the power of Jianghu.
"Old Wu, based on your experience in the arena for so many years? Do you think the Ghost Emperor's Mansion is capable of entering the palace to assassinate the Holy Lord?"
Old Wu shook his head and said slowly: "It is absolutely impossible. The forbidden area of the palace is heavily guarded. Even if you are a top expert in the world, it is still wishful thinking to enter the palace to assassinate you. You must know that the guards in the palace are already The realm of the sixth and seventh grade, and the guard commander has reached the ninth grade. If anyone wants to assassinate the Holy Lord, he must do it when the Holy Lord leaves the palace and travels."
After hearing Lao Wu's words, Shao Xi felt a little relieved. Because if the estimate is correct, if they want to assassinate the Holy Emperor, they will definitely do it when war breaks out around Jing Yuan Kingdom.
But as of now, there is no sign of this.
