Volume 2 The Dance of the Demons in the Imperial Capital Chapter 77 The Price of Finding Out the Truth (1)

Shencheng, also known as the magic capital, is one of the four first-tier cities.

Bright and nightless, prosperous and splendid.

Tonight, in this very representative modern metropolis, there were three, nay, one to be exact, an old man who was so old that his hair and long beard could not be whiter, but he was full of energy and full of fine eyes, and he was accompanied by two young men behind him.

The old man arrived here by car overnight from Jinguan City, got off the station and stood on the side of the road, looking up at the skyscrapers in the city, his face undisguised with admiration.

"It's amazing. People are getting better and better. The old man's back was straight, as if he was interested, and he took vigorous steps and walked along the sidewalk in the direction of the most prosperous Lujiabe.

The two young men followed the old man for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, and said a little resignedly: "Protector, Lord Protector." Why bend down and walk, please get in the car. ”

This old man is naturally the great protector of the Lich Clan. Three days ago, he received news from his eldest apprentice Wu Zong: Liu Nansheng actually found out the truth about Bai Sanjie's murder and blame the black cat, and personally took her to the inn headquarters to testify and clarify the black cat. When did Liu Nansheng become so bold as to meddle in the affairs of the Lich Clan?

Wu Li weighed it a little and decided to come to Shencheng in person to find Liu Nansheng Xingshi to ask for the guilt. Because the two apprentices were not around, he also selected two high-ranking sorcerers from the clan, Wu Xi and Wu Ming.

As soon as they heard that they were going to take the two of them to Shencheng, they had already contacted the Lich Clan personnel who were arranged outside, and within an hour they found a lower-level person and drove the car to the bank of the Jinjiang River.

After Wu Li and Wu Cry and Wu Ming got into the car, they galloped all the way to Shencheng.

Wu Li, who had not been out of the small cave for a long time, saw the prosperous and advanced city for the first time, and was sighing, when he heard the young man behind him calling softly, he turned his head to look at the side of the road not far behind, and slowly followed his car. waved his hand: "No need." Let him go back. You two come with me. ”

The two looked at each other and waved at the car behind them, which sped out and turned away. The two of them followed behind Wu Li carefully, not daring to say a word.

Shencheng is not within the scope of the Yelu Clan's troubles, so the people here were not too affected by that night, although it was night, there were still a lot of vehicles and people shuttling under various lights.

The noisy long street, the colorful neon, the lights that hide the starry sky, and the giant LED lights on the buildings in the distance keep flashing the text and English.

Wu Li is the great protector of the Lich Clan, but in the end, he is also an old man, an old man who has lived for a long, long time and has old thoughts.

He knew very well that it was important to follow the times, otherwise he would not dare to disobey the orders of his ancestor Wu Xian to find a way to change. He squinted his eyes and was looking around curiously, when suddenly he remembered something, and his body froze, and he stopped there.

Wu Qi and Wu Ming, who were behind them, didn't know what was wrong with the Dharma Protector, so they also stopped. But I heard Wu Li say slowly: "What are you nervous about?"

"Back to the Dharma Protector, we are not nervous. The two looked cramped.

Wu Li smiled, like an ordinary old man who loves to talk about his juniors: "Do you think I'm old and tired even after walking a few steps?"

"The subordinates don't dare. The two hurriedly clenched their fists and fell to their knees as if they had made a great mistake.

The three of them were walking on an extremely prosperous commercial street at this time, most of the pedestrians were white-collar workers from nearby companies, the elites of these times wore brand-name clothes, and were fashionable and decent, but it was among these people that three generally dressed outsiders suddenly mixed in, and even the old man was wearing an old-fashioned suit from the last century, although this suit had been washed and turned white, but it was probably the most outfit he could get his hands on.

At this moment, two young men knelt on one knee behind the old man, the old man with his hands behind his back, only looking around at the neon lights and skyscrapers, as if he was accustomed to the kneeling behavior of the two young men.

Wu Li noticed the surprised gazes of the people around him, and coughed lightly: "Get up, so many people, don't kneel down at every turn." Pay attention to the impact, this is different from our clan. ”

Wu cried and screamed again and again, and then stood up and wiped the beads of sweat from his head. It's the winter solstice, where do the sweat beads come from?

Wu Li said gently: "What are you nervous about? Am I terrible?" He was right, although he was usually high-minded and resolute in dealing with others, but in general he was not tyrannical, and he would never be moody and angry with others.

"The Dharma Protector usually takes great care of us juniors. It's just that your subordinates are impressed by your divine might, and they feel like they are looking up to the mountains. "Wu Wai can speak.

"Bullshit cares!" Wu Li turned around and scolded with a smile, how he usually acts, but his heart is very clear: he rarely asks about the affairs of the people below, where can he talk about loving and caring?

When the two of them heard the Dharma Protector swearing, their hearts trembled, their legs weakened, and they wanted to bow down again. Wu Li said: "Don't go back at every turn, what do people think of us? Although I haven't been out for a long time, I also understand some of the changes in the outside world, and now people kneel down from time to time." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. The two of them were busy.

Wu Li said unhurriedly: "I just want to take a second look at the world today." Dazzling and beautiful, this night, tsk, is really breathtaking. ”

Wu Li didn't wait for the two to respond, turned around and continued to walk forward.

It turns out that the purpose of the Dharma Protector getting out of the car and walking is this. Wu Qi's mind turned, and he began to pay attention to Wu Li's gaze.

When Wu Li stared at a slender building, he followed and saw that the building stood tall on the bank of the Huangpu River, surpassing the surrounding buildings, with a ball shape at the bottom and a ball at the top, and a slender spire like a lightning rod at the top.

Wu Qi hurriedly introduced Wu Li: "This is a radio and television tower, and the people outside have given it a nickname, called the Oriental Pearl." ”

"Broadcasting?" Wu Li thought for a moment, as if he had heard of this term, probably a few decades ago, when the places where there was radio were extremely advanced cities. He looked at the surface of the Oriental Pearl gradually changing various colors at night, and nodded: "To be able to make the radio so beautiful, this city is indeed very advanced." ”

"Yes, yes. "Can Wu Cry refute it? Naturally, he can't, so after a brief introduction, when I heard the response of the Dharma Protector, I hurriedly echoed it.

Lord Protector seems to be interested in the radio tower, perhaps radio is the only name he can still feel somewhat familiar with in the current world. He unconsciously picked up a little speed and walked in that direction.

About half an hour later, the three of them stood at the bottom of the radio tower, Wu Li looked up, and said to himself: "Amazing, really amazing." In the past, the merry emperors of the past dynasties built the high-rise buildings of the night strings of the dynasty song, used a lot of manpower and financial resources, but only more than ten zhang higher than the ground, this tower is afraid that it is not less than a hundred zhang straight to the sky, it is really a miracle. ”

Wu Li turned his head and saw the Huangpu River not far away, the wide river surface was sparkling, and the glowing shore buildings were reflected in the waterside near the shore, and the reflection of the lantern tower trembled and swayed on the water surface.

"Lord Dharma Protector, this river is called the Huangpu River. Wu Cry stepped forward and explained.

Wu Li waved his hand, pointed to a magnificent building with lights on the same side, and asked, "What is that building for?"

Wu Xi followed the direction of Wu Li's finger and saw that it was the Jin Mao Building, so he replied: "That building can be used for food, accommodation, play, sightseeing, as well as finance, commercial offices and other purposes." Looking at the obvious look of surprise in Wu Li's eyes, he said again: "The Liu Nansheng we are looking for is in that building." ”

When Wu Li heard this, his eyes froze, and he gradually lowered his face, snorted, and said coldly: "This willow spirit will enjoy it!"

Wu Qi's eyelids jumped, and he was afraid that the Dharma Protector would be angry, so he stopped a little embarrassed and didn't dare to say more.

Wu Li resumed his indifferent tone and said, "Let's go, go and meet that Liu Nansheng." ”

The two hurriedly responded and led the way.
