Chapter 1: The Demon Horn

  Yao Jia was very lucky, from the time he was born, after being given this name, he was destined to be extraordinary.

  Not long after birth, he was abandoned at the entrance of a village. It is said that at that time, an old cow wanted to bite him. The old cow was originally eating grass, but at this moment, it suddenly had a meat-eating attitude. Therefore, when the villagers saw the old cow, they laughed and said that the old cow had become a monster. Although they were very surprised by the sudden appearance of the infant in swaddling clothes at the village entrance, when they saw the old cow wanting to bite him, the villagers immediately rushed forward and picked him up. Even though the villagers quickly rescued him, he was still poked once by the angry old cow with its sharp black horns.

  From then on, after being butted by a suspected demon cow with its horns, a strange name was born - Demon Horn.

  The little devil was rescued, but what happened next was a headache. Where did this kid come from? Which parents were so heartless as to abandon their child here?

  At that time, some villagers wanted to call the police, but in the end, they were seen by an old Taoist priest who was not far from the village.

  The old Taoist lived in a Taoist temple, which was already in modern society. Everyone no longer believed in superstition, and the construction of the temple was relatively simple, without any grandeur. As a result, there were no tourists coming to worship, and the old Taoist could live there peacefully.

  The old Taoist priest was very clean, although he lived alone, but his clothes were very neat and tidy. He grew some vegetables and grains by himself, which made him self-sufficient. He had a calm and serene demeanor, and it seemed that he also knew some minor medical skills. Whenever someone in the village got a headache or fever, they wouldn't go to town to see a doctor, but instead would let the old Taoist priest take their pulse and eat some herbal medicine dug up from the mountain, and they would be cured. Therefore, he had quite good relationships with the villagers.

  An old Taoist priest lived alone, the villagers took pity on him and asked him to come live in the village, but he refused. So he continued to live alone in his temple. One day, while passing through the village, he saw an abandoned infant, and with a determined look in his eyes, decided to raise the child himself.

  The villagers, after understanding the old Taoist's determination, finally exhorted him a bit and let him take care of it.

  Yao Jiao was clever since childhood, of course, this is related to the education of the old Taoist priest, but after all, he is still a child and has not been deeply involved in the world. Therefore, every time he takes an exam at school, he always gets first place, of course, this is also due to the old Taoist priest's daily reminders, which made him not show extraordinary talent in other fields.

  Some talents, the demon horn slowly grew up and also learned to hide, not daring to show it. The old Taoist started teaching the demon horn some strange things from a young age, those things, the demon horn also asked the villagers, but the villagers all said that was superstition, don't learn randomly.

  It's okay if one villager says so, but when all the villagers say it, it puts Yao Jiao in a difficult position. At school, the teacher also says it's superstition, which makes Yao Jiao feel mentally burdened. After all, on the one hand, there is the old Taoist priest who has been supporting him since he was young; on the other hand, there is the recognition of the whole society, making it difficult for Yao Jiao to make a choice.

  Until then, the demon horn was watching TV at a villager's home and saw mythological TV dramas such as Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods, which made the demon horn determined to learn the knowledge of the old Taoist priest.

  The old Taoist taught too much, and also let the demon horn follow his words to cultivate. After seeing the "Seal of the Gods" and "Journey to the West", he became exceptionally serious about cultivation. Moreover, not long after cultivating, he cultivated the legendary true energy. This made the demon horn even more enthusiastic.

  The old Taoist taught a lot, but the demon horn found that after cultivation, his memory became exceptionally good. So, the old Taoist only needed to teach once and he remembered everything, of course, many were just memorized, it was still early to be able to apply them.

  However, it wasn't long before the demon king discovered a problem. Among the things that the old Taoist priest taught, many were about sacrificing the dead and blood sacrifices to refine living souls. There were also some methods for cultivating and nourishing life, but compared to these cruel and poisonous techniques, there were fewer of them.

  This makes Yaoguang think that Lao Daoshi is a kind of magical person in TV.

  Until the demon horn was fourteen years old, the old Taoist suddenly fell down and called the demon horn to his bedside. After a burst of crying and farewell, the old Taoist finally got to the point.

  "Disciple, have you remembered all those things I taught you?" The old Taoist asked kindly.

  "Ah, I remember, but Master, according to what you taught me, isn't it said that by cultivating to the later stages, one can achieve immortality?" Yao Jiao asked with a slightly choked tone.

  "It is possible to live forever, but being a master is different," said the old Taoist.

  "Why? Master, can't you just cultivate too?" asked Yaoguo.

  "Because, for a master like him, he had already died three hundred years ago." The old Taoist said with a sorrowful tone.

  "How is this possible? Master, aren't you fine?" said Yao Jiao.

  "Alas, my master indeed died three hundred years ago, but he died at the hands of the person he trusted most. His heart was filled with resentment and his grievances were too heavy, so he used his boundless resentment to lock up a thread of my divine consciousness, allowing me to barely survive until now."

  "Who exactly is it? I'll help you avenge, disciple!" The demon's horn wiped away tears, speaking with a fierce tone. Although only fourteen years old, having received the inhuman education from the old Taoist since childhood, his temperament was also exceptionally resilient.

  "It's all over, that person has already been killed by me in a mutual destruction before my death, but he didn't have my skills to live for another three hundred years. In these three hundred years, I also slowly let go, my resentment dissipated, and my last bit of consciousness will also disperse." The old Taoist said slowly.

  "Master, disciple doesn't want you to leave." The demon horn cried out immediately.

  "Alas, I'm about to leave, and the only one I'm worried about is you. In these years of cultivation, do you think that what I've taught you are all heretical things?" The old Taoist asked slowly.

  "Magic is neither good nor evil, it's all about the person using it." The demon replied with a phrase he had seen on the internet not long ago.

  "Heh heh, it's good that you can say this, but as for me, I was indeed a person of the demonic path in my lifetime. What is the Tao? There are too many interpretations, but they all lead to the same destination in the end. The Tao is the Tao, Buddhism is also the Tao, and demonism is also the Tao - who can clearly distinguish between them? It's just that human hearts are treacherous, and the hardest thing to fathom is indeed the human heart. Disciple, after I die, you must learn to protect yourself, don't be like me..." The old Daoist said this last sentence, then closed his eyes.

  "Master~~~!" The demon horn cried out in anguish.

  However, the old Taoist could no longer speak.

  With the help of Murakami, the old Taoist was buried.

  On the second day after the old Taoist's burial, the demon horn also disappeared from the village.

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  A night ten years later.

  Shanghai city, in a private villa in the suburbs, a handsome young man sat beside his computer, carefully browsing something from the internet.

  "Another fool, you've encountered all sorts of transcendent things, yet instead of seeking the way to immortality, you're over there making money and holding office? And even going onto the battlefield? Truly unlearned and unsophisticated." The young man said with a face full of gloom.

  This young man is a prodigy, after ten years of cultivation, his abilities have not decreased at all. After becoming capable, he didn't go to start a company and become the richest person or anything like that. He's not interested in such things because he found out that by simply going to any casino, he can easily obtain a large amount of money without putting in any effort, so why bother finding a job?

  As for some of the national security agencies, challenging their own limits, and talking nonsense, the demon horns are very fond of their lives, but they don't want to be used as a gun at all. Although they have confidence in their own strength, they don't need to prove it with their lives.

  Yao Jiao carried out the old Daoist's teachings, acting low-key and usually only cultivating himself. For Yao Jiao, his own demonic cultivation was his greatest guarantee, and this most fundamental guarantee had to be hidden in the deepest place, where no one could know about it.

  Therefore, the demon horn has never used the magic path in front of people, and because of his caution, he has turned defeat into victory several times through this hidden method on the edge of life and death.

  No one knew that the demon horn was a cultivator, because when the old Taoist taught the demon horn, there was a special method to restrain his breath, making any cultivator think of the demon horn as an ordinary person. Otherwise, with the old Taoist already dead, how could he have hidden it for three hundred years?

  Yao Jiao generally doesn't use magic because Yao Jiao knows that although he has been practicing since childhood, his cultivation is still too low. Compared to those old guys who have been cultivating for hundreds or thousands of years, he is far inferior. Therefore, in general, he does not use spells, who knows when he will be seen by some old guy?

  Cultivation is a money-burning business, without the support of a large sect or school, how can one cultivate? Wealth and land are essential, with wealth coming first, that's all you need to know. This cultivation requires a lot of medicinal materials as assistance, otherwise you'll be like those great monks who use self-mortification to cultivate through suffering.

  The demon king was unwilling, if he said to go to the casino, which casino didn't have some formidable figures sitting in it? If discovered, it would be a loss. Of course, the demon king also had his own way of making money, it's just that some things couldn't be seen by people.

  The fingers quickly flipped through the keyboard, which was clattering away, and the webpage in front of me jumped rapidly, soon a website with a black tone appeared.

  Assassin's Creed

  This is the name of this website, which is a global largest killer accepts mission website, and the font of the website, according to the preference of the first place in the ranking, selects any country's subtitles.

  It is now Chinese, and apparently the first assassin likes Chinese.

  The first assassin, extremely mysterious, no one knows what he looks like. Of course, most assassins are like this. The first assassin named himself "First Assassin" when entering the website, and indeed lived up to his name. In the five-year record, First Assassin has never lost a hand, from government officials to business tycoons, none have ever escaped.

  Even a high-ranking martial artist has killed many, Western vampires and werewolves have been killed by him, even a Grand Archbishop, the First Assassin has also been taken down.

  Of course, after talking for half a day, this first assassin is actually the demon horn sitting next to the computer with a nerdy appearance.

  Assassins have the right to choose their tasks. Generally, the demon horns will first investigate the target for a period of time based on the information provided by the employer. If they can do it themselves, they will accept the task. Otherwise, do you think the demon horn is stupid? Risking death to complete the task? Nonsense.

  Moreover, the career of a rogue has only two options: one is to set traps such as poisoning and laying explosives, and the other is to use sniper rifles.

  Because of this, these two things can completely avoid colliding with the killed person, finish and leave, relaxed and safe, why not?
