Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

The night watchman was replaced by Dorje.

Jiang Qingyu still slept in the tent, and gave up the carriage to several women.

After falling into the dream, his Yin body left the army camp, came to a snowy field twenty miles away, and met a high-level assassin in the underworld.

The man was wearing a loose black robe, a tall black hat, and half a mask on his face, so he could only see the left half of his face clearly.

Two words are tattooed on the chest of the black robe——

Impermanence.

Chapter 1: The Mysterious Force Tuoba Lie

"Uncle Wen."

Jiang Qingyu and the man in black stood side by side.

Unlike "Niu Tou" Xierxia, Hei Wuchang was from the Central Plains, and he was originally the ancestor of a hidden family.

Back then, that hermit family was unfortunately exterminated, and it was extremely tragic. When Jiang Qingyu rescued them in the end, only 18 members of the entire family survived.

"Uncle Wen" was the one with the highest cultivation level, and together with fifteen other guards, they desperately protected a pair of little girls.

Later, the pair of little girls became Jiang Qingyu's maids Qingming and Gu Yu, and "Uncle Wen" also turned into Hei Wuchang of the killer organization Heifu.

"Son."

"On the way here, I ran into a man."

Hei Wuchang's voice carried a trace of murderous intent, like a silver needle piercing the bone, making people shudder.

The murderous intent was naturally not aimed at Jiang Qingyu.

So Jiang Qingyu understood:

"An enemy?"

Hei Wuchang nodded.

"Yes."

"Six years ago, among the thieves who slaughtered more than 52 members of Xie's family, I recorded the appearance of a group of people. In the past few years, I have killed [-] of them based on the clues provided by many ghosts and wild ghosts in the underworld."

"He is three."

While speaking, Hei Wuchang took out a bloody human head from under his loose robe and threw it on the ground.

Jiang Qingyu didn't look at the head.

He knew very well that since his family was wiped out, the old man in front of him, who was originally as elegant and easy-going as his name, had already changed his mind. In order to get revenge, he not only practiced a kind of self-mutilation technique, but also searched through ancient books to learn the old man. Hundreds of tortures.

and so……

The owner of this head must have suffered inhuman torture during his lifetime.

"Have you found any useful clues?"

Jiang Qingyu asked curiously.

He knew that there was a hidden force in Chu State, and every one or two years, a hidden family would be wiped out.

The servant girl Jingzhe, Qingming, Guyu, and Heiwuchang "Xie Wen" are all survivors of those hidden families who were wiped out.

Jiang Qingyu wanted to investigate in person.

But the origin of that group of people is mysterious, there is no news before each action, and they disappear soon after the action, as if they appeared out of nowhere, making people unable to find their feet.

And there are too many hermit families in Chu State, and it is impossible for him to go to a certain hermit family every day to sit and wait, so he has never found out the origin of this group of people.

but……

Maid Jing Zhe, Hei Wuchang Xie Wen and others have never forgotten revenge. As the power of the underworld grows, with the unremitting efforts of many ghosts and wild ghosts, a group of people have also been found.

It's a pity that they are all young people who can't touch the core secrets.

"This person is the Fate Star Realm."

Heiwuchang stared at the head on the ground.

"Of the previous 52 people, only two were in the Fate Star Realm. Unfortunately, the first one committed suicide by taking poison, and the second one was tortured to death by my mistake. That's why I didn't get any useful clues."

"As for this person..."

"His mouth is very hard. It took me 35 tortures and two bottles of healing pills worth thousands of gold to pry it open."

He paused for a moment, and then said a piece of news that made people feel absurd:

"Son..."

"His surname is Tuoba."

Tuoba?

Jiang Qingyu looked surprised:

"The Tuoba clan, one of the eight major tribes of Beidi?"

How can it be?

Where did the Tuoba clan have the strength to slaughter every hidden family?

He couldn't help but glanced at the ground, but saw that the head was bloody and bloody, and there was no trace of a foreign appearance at all.

On the side, Hei Wuchang explained:

"To be precise, this person has a quarter of Beidi's bloodline."

"His father's name is Tuoba Lie, and he is Tuobaqi's half-brother."

"Tuoba Lie's biological mother was a woman from the Central Plains, so he was not well received in the tribe. Later, when he was eight years old, he was taken away from Beidi by a mysterious person and went to Yongzhou. When he became an adult, he gave birth to this person with a woman from the Central Plains. .”

Jiang Qingyu frowned slightly:

"That can't prove that this group of forces has anything to do with the Tuoba clan."

Heiwuchang agreed:

"It really can't be proved."

"But don't you wonder why this person appeared in Beidi?"

"You know, there is no hermit family in Beidi!"

With the behavior style of that group of people, once they show up, there must be a purpose.

Jiang Qingyu guessed:

"Could it be..."

"Did Tuoba Lie come back to seize power?"

Heiwuchang's tone is cold:

"Not only to seize power! And with the help of those mysterious forces, we must unify Beidi and become the only king of the Di clan!"

"Then……"

"Lead Beidi's army again and wantonly invade the three northern states!"

Hearing the words "invade the northern border", Jiang Qingyu immediately looked serious.

"This group of people is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic."

"First slaughtered the hermit family, then unified Beidi and invaded the northern border..."

"Do you really regard the world as a chessboard toy?"

He paused, and said again:

"But as far as I know, Tuoba Yan, the Immortal of the Tuoba Clan, is still alive, and Tuoba Qi is the number one Bright Moon Realm in Beidi. It shouldn't be so easy for outsiders to seize power, right?"

"Besides..."

"Even if Tuoba Lie became the king of the Tuoba clan, most of the hundreds of tribes in Beidi would not accept a half-blood."

Hei Wuchang doesn't think so:

"My lord, don't be careless. Since the Tuoba clan produced a Tuoba Lie, then the Qiyan clan and the Bao Luo clan may not produce a Qiyan lie and Bao Luolie..."

"As long as a group of people are supported to secure the positions of leaders of the eight major tribes, the whole of Beidi will fall under the control of these mysterious forces!"

"certainly……"

"If you are willing to move your fingers and kill Tuoba Lie and others, you will naturally save the northern border from a disaster in advance."

Jiang Qingyu couldn't help showing a smile:

"Uncle Wen, the first half of the last sentence is your real purpose, right?"

"Why, are you not sure about dealing with Tuoba Lie yourself?"

Xie Wenwen is the cultivation base of the peak of Haoyue Realm. After practicing that almost self-harming technique in the past few years, his strength has improved to a higher level, not weaker than Tuobaqi, Qiyan Wumu and others.

even……

If there is a life-and-death fight with Tuobaqi, the last person who survives has a chance of more than [-]% to be him!

Hei Wuchang said frankly:

"If Tuoba Lie dares to go back and fight for power, his strength will definitely not be much worse than Tuoba Qi."

"I don't know anything about him. If we fight rashly, the outcome will probably be between five and five."

"Rather than desperately risking it, it's better to be cheeky and ask the young master to help. Anyway... I'm about to enter the coffin, and it's useless to save face."

Jiang Qingyu said in relief:

"Uncle Wen, this is unlucky, you can live another 30 or [-] years at least!"

The exercise that Xie Wen revised later was called "Yin Shou Jue", which is a cruel exercise that trades Yangshou for strength.

In the past six short years, he has already consumed a full 20 years of his life!

Therefore, even though he is less than sixty years old, he has less than thirty years left to live.

however……

Hei Wuchang shook his head and said:

"In 30, it was possible, but now..."

"Difficult!"

"To tell you the truth, my lord, I just broke through the "Yin Shou Jue" to the seventh level half a month ago, and now I only have less than ten years of yang life left."

"..."

Jiang Qingyu didn't know what to say for a moment.

He knew that for revenge, Xie Wen was almost insane.

Xie Wen puts all the responsibilities on his own shoulders and does not share them with others. He just hopes that Qingming and Gu Yu can grow up carefree and free from hatred...

But in this way, one day he will be overwhelmed by hatred.

"My lord, don't be sad for me."

Hei Wuchang comforted Jiang Qingyu instead:

"It's my own choice and I don't regret it."

"If I can't take revenge, it will be a kind of suffering for me to live an extra day."

Jiang Qingyu sighed.

Then he opened his mouth in a deep voice:

"Where is Tuoba Lie?"

"I'll help Uncle Wen kill him."
