Speaking of the forces in the world, Jiudian may not be the strongest, but it is definitely the most unique. They are engaged in the business of killing people for money. Their whereabouts are always secretive and they rarely interact with people. Everyone in the world knows about the Nine Palaces, but they don’t know much about it.
I don't know when, there were rumors in the world that Zhang Suiguang was the master of Jiudian. Someone took the opportunity to interview him, and Zhang Suiguang actually admitted that he was indeed one of the masters of Jiudian. As for how he got into the Nine Palaces and where he ranked, he only replied, "It's according to the palace rules, so I can't tell you."
Although Jiudian is a killer hall, it does not kill indiscriminately. It claims to have five no-kills: no killing of royal relatives, no killing of upright officials, no killing of virtuous people, no killing of pregnant women, and no killing of babies. Over the years, he has been tolerated by the world because he has always abided by the rules of the world and has never done anything out of the ordinary.
However,
There are four halls in the Nine Halls: Ghost Mansion, Netherworld, Hell, and Prisoner Soul. The imprisoned souls contact their employers, and the hell is looking for people to follow them. The murders are always done by people from the underworld and the ghost house. Therefore, the masters of the Nine Halls are all in the Netherworld and Ghost Mansion, and the eight masters all come from these two halls.
In the battle of Tsubogamihara, Jiu Qingrui, Yiyiyi, and Duanli died of grief. The positions of three masters were vacated, and naturally someone had to take their place. Zhang Suiguang asked Bodhicitta to bring the eight most powerful killers from the two halls, in order to select the best among them and appoint them as masters.
These eight people were all dressed in black and had ghostly faces covering their faces, making them difficult to distinguish. However, upon closer inspection, one can still tell that one of them is a woman.
"Master of the Hall, eight people have been brought here." Bodhicitta bowed slightly and spoke lightly.
Zhang Suiguang sat on the stone bench with his back to the nine people, holding the fishing rod in one hand and pressing the open wine jar on the ground with the other. He seemed to have no intention of answering. Bodhicitta had long been accustomed to strange things and led the eight people to wait quietly aside.
There is a very small lotus pond in Lingchengzhai, and there are some wild fish in it. After Zhang Suiguang settled here, the branch steward ordered people to buy thousands of kilograms of fish species that loved to bite the hook from the market and threw them in behind his back. Since returning from Prince Duan's Mansion, he has been drinking and fishing all day long. He is very leisurely and seems to be isolated from heaven and earth.
The float shook, and another fish bit the hook. Thousands of kilograms of fish were thrown into the lotus pond and never fed.
"Haha, it looks like a big fish!" He pulled hard and felt a strong force under the water pulling back. Zhang Sui's eyes flashed with golden light, and he turned around and shouted from time to time, "Bodhicitta, I have been fishing for these small fish for the past few days. I've caught at least two to three hundred fish, but I haven't caught any big fish. I didn't expect that as soon as you came here, big fish would take the bait. I'll treat you to a drink soon!"
After saying that, he was stunned for a moment and said dejectedly: "I don't remember that you don't drink. Alas, it's so boring!"
There was a "pop" sound. It turned out that the big fish struggled to break free and broke the fishing rod while he was shaking his head and talking. Looking at the half-finished fishing rod floating in the water, Bodhicitta's face suddenly turned numb, and he cursed in his heart, "You fish thief, please don't hurt me!"
Zhang Suiguang didn't care, he touched the wine jar next to him, drank a few sips of wine, and laughed wildly: "No matter how big and strong the fish is, even if it breaks free from the fishing rod, it will never be released." You just leave.”
As soon as the word "go" came out, he jumped up, rolled a few times and jumped into the pool. With lightning speed, he grabbed half of the fishing rod on the surface of the water. The sturgeon was thrown onto the shore.
"Hey, it's really quite big!" As soon as the fish touched the ground, Zhang Suiguang appeared next to it, kicked it with his feet, and said with bodhicitta, "Ask the cook to cook it, and we will have a whole fish feast today. "
Bodhicitta bowed and said "yes", then stepped aside and whistled outside the courtyard. After a while, two men came and carried the big fish weighing thirty to forty pounds in a big net bag.
"Bang!" Zhang Suiguang hit one of the eight people in the abdomen with a palm without warning. Two of the seven people on the left and right instinctively took a step back, and they all gathered strength in their hands. Zhang Suiguang's face lit up and he attacked them fiercely.
... ...
After touring the Blind Mountain Salt Field and Fuzhou Salt Field, Mei Siyuan returned to Jinzhou. King Jaw died unexpectedly in Tianmen City, and the people in Anxian County were unstable. From the Sansi Yamen to the common people in the market, they all thought that a battle between Dahua and Shatuo was imminent. He is the chief official of Anxian and must return to Jinzhou to take charge and stabilize all parties.
Taking advantage of the lunch break, Bailis took him to the garden and took a walk in the scorching sun.
"Brother Yuan, if you want to be more open about His Majesty's affairs, even though I don't care about political affairs, I can still notice that the situation has become more and more tense recently. All parties are looking at you, the first-grade Salt Administration Secretary. "Bai Lisi pulled Mei Siyuan's sleeve and comforted her softly.
Mei Siyuan shook his head gently and forced a smile: "Si sister, I don't have to worry about anything. I'm not here these days, thank you for your hard work!" Although he was smiling, his eyes were full of desolation, "Jaw His Royal Highness was killed, and I cannot shirk my responsibility. If not..."
"Brother Yuan!" Bai Lisi interrupted him and said with a look of pity, "Don't feel ashamed for no reason. By now, you have guessed that someone is plotting to kill the Jaw King. The enemy is hidden and we are clear. The Jaw King Your Highness, who is known for his wisdom, has not been spared, let alone you?"
"Hmph, no one would have thought that the king who has never been favored by the Holy Spirit could be such a ruthless character." Mei Siyuan frowned and suppressed his anger.
Bai Lisi took two quick steps to block in front of him and said worriedly: "Brother Yuan, you have to think twice before you act!"
"Si sister, I am no longer a passionate young man." Mei Siyuan said with a bitter smile, "Master Yi sent an urgent message. At the beginning of the month, King Zhi was ambushed in Binan Bozhou and was unfortunately killed. Now the three most powerful people in Dahua The princes are all gone. This prince is naturally the best choice to establish the crown prince. He may be able to ascend the throne and become the emperor soon. The so-called loyalty of a minister cannot be reversed. What can I, a great minister of China, do? Do you want to rebel if it doesn't come true?" He shook his head slightly, tears slowly flowing down his face, "It's just a pity that His Highness and the two princes were so buried in this person's machinations."
The two of them walked for more than a hundred steps. Mei Siyuan remembered that Yi Buyi had mentioned that he would escort the escort to the capital at the end of the month, so he said seriously to his beloved wife: "Sir Young Master Yi will lead the escort to the capital in the near future. I really can't worry about it. Why don't you let me go?" Haitang, please follow us!"
Yi Buyi originally went to the capital with his grandfather and uncle to go to the imperial court for recruitment. King Duan only invited Yi Qilin into the palace and ignored the others. After listening to his grandfather's words, Yi Buyi returned to the Anxian headquarters first and helped his father with the escort service. The Yi family was thinking about going to inquire about the capital city, and happened to receive a deal to go to the capital city, so they pointed Yi Bu's collar escort and left at the end of the month.
"Oh, no! I'll talk to Haitang later!" Bai Lisi sighed softly, with a worried look on his face.
... ...
"Bang!" Zhang Suiguang twisted his waist and abdomen, turned around and struck out with a palm, which was actually printed on the chest of the man in black opposite him. The man in black took four or five steps back, and then he slumped down after regaining his balance, and slowly collapsed to the ground. Blood gushed out from his mouth and nose and flowed all over the floor. It turned out that his heart was also broken by Zhang Suiguang's palm.
At this time, only four of the eight people who had been standing in the courtyard were left.
"Do you know why I killed them?" Zhang Suiguang stood in front of the four people and asked with a smile.
"I don't know."
"I don't know."
"I don't know."
"I don't know." The four people replied one after another.
Zhang Suiguang walked up to the man in black who was the first to be slapped, and said with a smile: "When I slapped you, they both took a step back and gathered strength in their hands. To be a master, you must deal with the Nine Palaces The two of them can't live without regrets." As he spoke, he pointed at two of the four corpses. "They are not loyal enough and have high martial arts skills. Keeping them will be a disaster."
He walked casually for a few steps and happened to reach the stone bench. His eyes accidentally glanced at the wine jar, and he picked it up and took a few sips. After the drink was over, Zhang Suiguang burped with satisfaction, and then said: "When I stepped on their heads, they turned around one after another, obviously to be wary of me suddenly killing them." He pointed to the other two bodies. The corpse said contemptuously, "As a master, how can you have fear in your heart? How can you doubt me? What's the use of keeping such a suspicious and courageless thing!"
At this time, the five people with bodhicitta knew why the four people who were traveling with them died. However, when he came back to his senses at this time, he realized that what Zhang Suiguang said was very reasonable, and he couldn't help being afraid of him.
"From today on, you are the masters of the Nine Halls. You are the seventh master in the Jiuqing list, you are the eighth master in the Qubuming list, and you are the ninth master in the Duanliyou list." Zhang Suiguang pointed in turn. The three of them said seriously.
When he reached the fourth person, Zhang Suiguang said nothing. This was the first person he hit, and she was also the only woman among the eight.
"Because you hate the world of mortals, you are second among all masters!" Zhang Suiguang stared into her eyes and said word by word, "Second only to Bodhicitta."
In this way, the positions of the nine masters of the Nine Halls have been determined, and they are in order: Bodhicitta, Hate the Red Dust, Hate Immortality, Destroy and Sealed Demons, Blood Drops, Bear the Suffering of Farewell, Long-term Heartless, Unyielding, and Cut Off the Sorrow.
The woman who was newly promoted to the title of Master Master was directly ranked second, and she used Zhang Suiguang's previous code name. Except for the previous eight masters, no one in the world knew that Zhang Suiguang was the number one master in the Nine Halls: Hate the Red Dust.
"Yes, Palace Master!" The five people replied in unison. After speaking, the four people took off their masks.
In the Nine Halls, except for the nine masters, no one else is allowed to have their own name, only such as? field
Jiu Qingqing was a thin, short old man with sunken eye sockets and dull eyes, and he looked emotionless.
Qu Buming is a middle-aged man with bald hair and only one left ear. He has a fat, round body and a greasy face. He looks really unappealing.
Duanliyou on the side was a handsome young man with thin lips, thick eyebrows, a plump nose and bright eyes, who seemed to be smiling slightly.
Hen Hongchen, who was standing at the end, also gently took off his mask. Under the ugly ghost face was a face that was refined and beautiful. She was actually...
Is it Haitang?
