Chapter 155: The Master

The study is a two-story detached house.

The first floor is a study and the second floor is a bedroom.

Fang Zhixing moved in and opened the window on the second floor, and the view of the yard was instantly visible.

The courtyard is very spacious, with small gardens on both sides. The flowers planted there are in full bloom, colorful and beautiful.

There is a large lawn in the middle, which is equivalent to half the size of a football field and can be used for practicing martial arts and boxing.

In addition, there is a lotus pond at the southernmost end. During the day, you can enjoy the blooming lotuses in the pond, and the moonlight in the lotus pond is even more beautiful at night.

“This place has a nice view!”

The thin dog raised its two front paws, lay in front of the window, facing the warm spring breeze, and huffed with its tongue sticking out.

Fang Zhixing stood with his hands behind his back, his emotions in turmoil.

Suddenly, his eyes dropped.

Then I saw Hongye leading a group of servants into the gate and walking over.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing turned around and walked downstairs, and soon came under the eaves.

"Greetings, Master!"

At the foot of the stairs, Hongye and a group of servants knelt in unison and saluted with the utmost respect.

Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "Everyone, get up."

Everyone stood up.

Hongye began to introduce them one by one.

Among these domestic servants, there were cooks who were responsible for cooking, laundry workers, cleaners and gardeners, etc.

Most of them are ordinary people, with only one middle-aged warrior named Zhong Cunhai.

But his cultivation level is only at the Guanli realm, and he is over fifty years old, so his combat power may not be much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Zhong Cunhai had two responsibilities. He was usually responsible for guarding the house, and he was also the coachman when the owner of the temple was away.

However, considering that the security situation in the inner city is very good, Zhong Cunhai hardly needs to worry about guarding the house, and being a coachman is his main job.

His situation is probably similar to that of some people who spent tens of thousands of dollars on tuition fees, finally got a college diploma, and then found a job moving bricks at a construction site.

"Well, this is the structure of the entire Yixiangzhai."

Fang Zhixing himself is the host of the temple, and Hongye is his personal maid, responsible for welcoming and seeing off guests, while the others each have their own duties.

But he knew very well that this "master of the fast" was by no means a simple character.

Just think about it, Luo Keji was the previous master, and what he did could not be a trivial matter.

As expected!

In the afternoon, a carrier pigeon fluttered to the study window, landed on the windowsill, and cooed.

Fang Zhixing's eyes flashed, he walked over and reached out to catch the pigeon.

The homing pigeons are very obedient and do not resist at all when facing a stranger.

Fang Zhixing took off the roll of paper tied to the pigeon's leg and spread it out.

A few lines of beautiful small handwriting come into view.

"At 3:00 p.m. on the 13th, a carriage with a flag bearing the Chinese character '田' will pass by Green Bamboo Slope, 20 miles east of the city. Burn the goods on the carriage, but leave the people alive."

Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows, "The 13th" was two days later.

He pondered for a moment and called Hongye.

Fang Zhixing handed the roll of paper to her to look at, and asked, "How does the eldest master deal with this kind of thing?"

Hongye was very calm. After carefully reading the contents of the scroll, a sweet smile appeared on her face. She said slowly, "Master, you can regard the requirements on the scroll as a task that must be completed. If you fail to complete it, you will most likely be severely punished."

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then asked, "If I complete it, what benefits can I get?"

Hongye Lian said: "As for the remuneration, it should have been agreed long ago, and someone will deliver it later.

In fact, it is not your concern, it is your responsibility to complete the task.”

Fang Zhixing's eyes flickered, and he pondered, "That is to say, I don't need to know who gave the order, what the cargo on the carriage is, and why the cargo was destroyed, right?"

Hongye lowered her head slightly and smiled: "The less you know, the better."

Fang Zhixing understood.

He was just one part of a larger plan.

To put it bluntly, it's just a chess piece! The level is too low, so low that it's outrageous.

We don't even know who the "chess player" is.

"It's fine to be used as a pawn, but I don't even know who used me as a pawn."

Fang Zhixing curled his lips. It seemed that if he wanted to be a good host, he had to first suppress his strong curiosity.

"Hahaha, Fang Zhixing, this must be very uncomfortable!"

The thin dog was lying on the chair next to him, with a mean look on his face. He joked, "You are someone who likes to be in control of everything. You are suddenly turned into an emotionless machine. Others input instructions and you just complete the tasks mechanically without asking about the cause and effect. You must be very unhappy!"

Fang Zhixing snorted coldly: "Everything depends on human effort. There is no window in the world that cannot be broken. Sooner or later, I will find out everything."

He glanced at Hongye and said thoughtfully, "Hongye should be the eldest master's spy. She is here to monitor my every move. Let's take her down first."

Xigou suddenly shuddered and said excitedly: "How to capture her? If you want her to betray the eldest master, it will be harder than climbing to the sky."

Fang Zhixing sneered and said, "Nothing is difficult in the world except for the existence of a birdman. Just wait and see how I can make her sleep."

Time passed quickly and it was evening in a blink of an eye.

After dinner, Fang Zhixing glanced at the sky outside and said, "Hongye, make my bed. I want to go to bed early."

Hongye's body trembled, as if she had anticipated what was about to happen. Her cheeks flushed with shame, and she replied softly, "Yes."

She turned and went upstairs.

Seeing this, Xigou smacked his lips and said, "No way, you are too f*cking direct, forcing yourself on me!"

He was eager to share his experience: "To completely conquer a woman, you must first conquer her heart, not her body."

When he turned around, he found that Fang Zhixing ignored him and went upstairs.

"brute!"

The thin dog bared its teeth and hurried to follow.

Suddenly, the sole of a foot coming towards him quickly enlarged in his field of vision.

"rough!"

The thin dog's eyes blurred and his body flew backwards, falling down the stairs, bouncing up, and tumbling all the way down with a thumping sound.

"Ouch, Fang Zhixing, you bastard..."

The little dog quickly got up, breathing out a sweet smell.

However, he was a strange beast after all, with thick skin and flesh, so he did not suffer any injuries.

The little dog persisted and ran upstairs again.

"Take off your clothes..."

Suddenly, the little dog pricked up its ears and heard Fang Zhixing's unquestionable order coming from the bedroom.

Following this order, the sound of heavier breathing was immediately heard in the room.

Then, sporadic sounds echoed in his ears.

"rough!"

The little dog was itching to find something, and looked through the crack in the door again and again, but unfortunately he could see nothing. He could only wander around the door impatiently, circling back and forth.

Soon, a woman's crazy screams were heard, as if her throat was torn apart, echoing throughout the study.

The little dog sighed suddenly.

Alas, that beast Fang Zhixing succeeded!

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, the thin dog was lying at the door, sleeping soundly.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a shaking bed in the bedroom again.

"Damn, this is morning exercise!"

The little dog felt very bored, so he went downstairs, lay down on the soft carpet and took a nap.

It was not until noon that Fang Zhixing walked downstairs and kicked the thin dog on the butt.

The little dog woke up immediately, yawned, stretched, got up, and was about to scold Fang Zhixing.

Sudden!

He saw Fang Zhixing take out a porcelain bottle and pour out a third-grade top-quality meat pill.

The thin dog's pupils shrank, and its tail immediately began to wag uncontrollably, with an ingratiating look involuntarily appearing on its face.

Fang Zhixing snapped his fingers and the meat pill flew into the air.

The thin dog jumped up on the spot, opened its mouth, and bit the meat ball perfectly.

Gurgle!

After the dog chewed for a few times, his mouth was filled with the indescribable aroma of meat and medicine. In an instant, his whole body felt relaxed, as if he was flying into heaven.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Fang Zhixing packed his bags quickly.

The dog blinked and asked curiously, "Are you going out?"

Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "Yes, let's go and carry out the mission."

Xigou was surprised and asked, "Isn't the 13th tomorrow? Why are you going so early?"

Fang Zhixing glanced at the dog and asked, "What do you think?"

Xigou was startled at first, then he suddenly realized and responded, "Will Hongye tell tales?"

Fang Zhixing sneered, "I tortured her half to death. She will have to stay in bed for at least a day before she can get out of bed."

Awesome! Xigou was speechless. His understanding of sleeping clothes was completely different from what Fang Zhixing meant by sleeping clothes.

The man and the dog left Yixiangzhai, rode their horses through the streets and alleys, and soon walked out of the inner city.

They headed west, quickly passed the outer city's horse racing boulevard, and walked straight along the pipeline.

It was a distance of fifty miles, and it was reached in less than an hour.

The third-level restricted area that appeared in front of the field of vision was located in a jungle and mountain area with complex terrain.

Because there is a dead volcano near the restricted area, which is rich in beautiful agate stones, it is named the Agate Restricted Area.

Fang Zhixing rode into the Agate Camp on horseback, found an inn to stay in with ease, and then found a guide.

Just after noon, Fang Zhixing and Xigou, led by a guide, entered the third-level restricted area shrouded in gray fog.

"There are several places in the Agate Forbidden Zone, and there are many snake-like beasts."

The guide was a veteran. Although his cultivation was only at the initial stage of Guanli Realm, he had been in the Agate Forbidden Zone for more than 30 years and was very familiar with the place.

After a while, they entered a grassland.

While walking on the road, Fang Zhixing's eyes flashed, and he suddenly noticed a black horned leopard, a second-level exotic beast.

Without hesitation, he drew his bow and shot an arrow.

whoosh!

Two arrows shot out and accurately hit the two legs of the leopard.

“Ah~”

The caltrop leopard howled miserably and tried to escape but couldn't run fast enough.

"You wait here."

Fang Zhixing's body flashed, and he used the Wind God to transform into a gust of wind and ran over at an incredible speed.

The guide was not very strong, so he naturally didn't dare to show off his strength. He quickly lay on the ground, not daring to even show his head.

A hundred meters away, Fang Zhixing pounced on the leopard like a tiger, grabbed its neck with both hands, and pressed it to the ground.

The leopard couldn't breathe and struggled violently.

Fang Zhixing pressed on the caltrop leopard, clamped his legs around its abdomen, then turned over and lifted the caltrop leopard on top of himself.

He put his right arm around the leopard's neck and cooperated with his left arm to clasp it, forming a naked chokehold.

The leopard suffocated instantly and no matter how hard it struggled, it was in vain.

A moment later, this level 2 monster was strangled to death.

[2. Randomly strangle 10 lives (1/10)]

"receive!"

Fang Zhixing's mind flashed, and the black leopard's body quickly shrank up and turned into ashes that were blown away by the wind.

"It's just a simple kill of a Level 2."

Fang Zhixing smiled lightly and felt no pressure at all.

To be honest, if the mission didn't require him to "strangle" it, with his current strength, killing a level 2 alien beast would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Soon, the two men and the dog continued on their way.

About two hours later, they arrived at a gloomy and terrifying forest.

This forest seemed to be very old. The trees were tall and straight, with luxuriant branches and leaves, blocking out the sky and not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate.

"Master, please be careful. There are many snakes in this forest. There must be three levels."

The guide stopped outside the forest. He absolutely did not dare to enter any particularly dangerous areas.

He couldn't help but remind her, "The light in the forest is very dim, and you can't see anything clearly, but snakes and other strange beasts can see you."

Fang Zhixing understood what was going on immediately, but he didn't care and without any hesitation, he rushed into the forest.

It was broad daylight, but the forest was pitch black, and you could hardly see your hand in front of you.

The ground was very slippery underfoot, and there was damp moss all over.

"Red Blood Eyes - Open!"

After Fang Zhi walked a hundred meters, he quickly became blind.

But the next moment, his pupils were suddenly infected by bright red, turning into a pair of mysterious blood pupils.

Suddenly!

The world before Fang Zhixing's eyes underwent an indescribable magical change.

The trees, flowers, birds, insects and animals all exuded wisps of blood.

It seems that every plant here has biological characteristics and blood is flowing inside its branches and leaves.

A short while later, Fang Zhixing discovered a black-scaled python over eight meters long, coiled around the trunk of a big tree, extremely hidden.

With just the human eye, even if you hold a lantern, you may not be able to spot its existence at the first sight.

"Level 2?"

Fang Zhixing held the Tingfeng Knife, pointed his toes, jumped high, then stepped on the tree trunk and jumped up again.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he jumped to a height of more than 30 meters.

Shua! Fang Zhixing swung his knife and stabbed fiercely.

With a whoosh, the Tingfeng Blade pierced through the black-scaled python's abdomen and nailed it to the tree trunk.

The black-scaled python was still sleeping a moment ago, but was suddenly awakened by the severe pain and began to struggle frantically.

Fang Zhixing punched the snake on the head, knocking it dizzy. Then he hugged the snake's body, wrapped his arms around its throat, and tightened it.

A force of 95,000 kilograms erupted immediately, and the snake's body was squeezed violently and almost crushed.

A moment later, the black-scaled python died of suffocation.

"It turns out that snakes can really be strangled to death!"

Fang Zhixing smiled, a hint of curiosity appearing between his brows.

He had never thought of doing something as bizarre as strangling a snake before, but he didn't expect to accomplish this feat so easily today.

Not long after, he strangled a second-level python, the kind with extremely poisonous venom.
