……

The antique and extensive old Zhou house is built along the lake and occupies a quiet lake.

It is said that the ancestor of the Zhou family has been the champion, and the family has been scholarly for generations. The whole ancient house is also full of the grandeur and ingenuity of the Jiangnan water town.

The environment in the house is elegant, the garden pavilion is everywhere, one step and three scenes, exquisite and quite stylish.

This old mansion has been assessed as a tangible cultural heritage, but Zhou Zhiyi brought back sufficient evidence, and was willing to spend money, so he asked this ancestral house back, and after careful repair and operation, it has been restored to its former style.

A young man in a thin sportswear fell from the sky like lightning, stepped on a pair of sneakers, and landed at the front door of the old mansion with his hands on his back. He has a dignified face and sharp eyebrows, even if he is dressed very simply, it is difficult to hide his sunny and heroic temperament.

This young man is naturally Wang Yan, the son of flames who is now rumored in the outside world. Today, he is no longer a nobody, but a world-renowned young generation master.

came to visit, of course, Wang Yan did not fly directly into people's homes, but according to the number of courtesies, he knocked on the copper ring on the big mahogany door.

"Squeak~"

A housekeeper in a robe opened the door and said respectfully, "Dare to ask if the person who came is His Excellency Wang Yan?"

"Uncle, I am Wang Yan. Wang Yan greeted politely and said, "I agreed with Teacher Zhou before to come and visit." ”

While speaking, Zhou Zhiyi, who was dressed in an antique brocade robe, strode out of the inner hall like a meteor, and said with a hearty smile: "Xiaoyan, I just wanted to wait for you at the door." But I didn't expect you to come faster than Secretary Tian. With that, he waved the butler away.

"Brother Zhou. Wang Yan greeted with a smile.

"Xiao Yan, please come in quickly, you and I are just waiting here for Secretary Shimoda, he is almost there. Zhou Zhiyi politely invited Wang Yan into the door, and immediately chatted with him, "Hey, Xiaoyan, you have only been out for so long, and your face is full of red light and full of energy?

Wang Yan touched his cheeks, Zhou Zhiyi can even see this? It's just that the incense with Shen Mengting ~ Yan Yi ~ Ni is naturally impossible to talk to Zhou Zhiyi. He smiled and replied: "It's not a happy event, it's just that the occasional feeling is transparent, and the cultivation is just a little bit better." ”

The two talked about a ride, and after a while, an Audi with a government license plate stopped at a nearby intersection. Secretary Tian pushed the door and walked over calmly, he was wearing a gray suit and had an extraordinary bearing.

"Secretary Tian. Zhou Zhiyi and Wang Yan both greeted each other and greeted them politely.

After greeting each other, Zhou Zhiyi invited Wang Yan and Secretary Tian to enter the inner house together, and walked to a welcome pavilion. This welcome pavilion is made of good solid wood, and the furniture screen is made of old red sour branch wood.

Several copper animal-shaped stoves, charcoal fires are burning, baking the hall warm like spring, and the smell of sandalwood is refreshing.

Through the attic window, you can see a garden, the ancient strange-shaped Taihu Lake stone has created a strange-shaped rockery, and the mountain stream cleverly leads to the spring water dingdong.

In the garden, it is autumn chrysanthemum and winter plum, competing for wonder and beauty, and it is beautiful.

"Mr. Zhou is worthy of being a school of architecture, and he comes from a scholarly family. With this careful stroke, the entire half-deserted ancient mansion came to life, making me feel as if I had traveled back to ancient times. Secretary Tian said with emotion, "Our Huaxia country has taken off rapidly in terms of economy and strength in recent years, but it is a lot more impetuous, and there is less tradition and cultural accumulation." ”

"Secretary Tian praised it falsely, come and taste this Biluochun, although it is an old tea, but it is well maintained. Zhou Zhi smiled and began to boil water and make tea with an iron kettle.

The three of them drank tea and chatted in this pleasant, comfortable and quiet attic. From traditional culture, to modern economy, and even the world pattern.

Among the three, Wang Yan is the youngest. Although he is strong personally, he is still inferior to theirs in terms of breadth of knowledge and awareness. While drinking tea, I listened to it with relish, but I could learn a lot of things.

……

Meanwhile.

Danghu five-star hotel.

Liu Lang sat on the sofa with a depressed face, drinking sullenly. Thinking that he worked hard, he finally stole Shen Mengting out and sacrificed the natal spirit corpse.

has always regarded her as a treasure, and she is reluctant to touch it.

It's good now, this watery cabbage was arched by Lao Wang's pig without paying attention.

Shen Mengting's mouth opened lightly, just when she wanted to say something. But his eyes were slight, his eyes looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window coldly, and he said coldly: "No matter who it is, do you need me to ask you out?"

"Huh!"

A figure in a black robe slowly emerged outside the window. His black robe swayed in the wind, and he wore a pale and strange mask on his face.

didn't see any movement from him, so he flashed into the suite, and said with an extraordinary bearing: "Your spirit corpse is out of the expectation of the master. It's even more powerful than the master's estimate. ”

"Who are you?" Liu Lang's face changed, and he scolded, "Do you know who I am......?" Hmm!"

Before Liu Lang finished speaking, the black-robed man swung out a cloud of black mist, and the black mist turned into a condensed claw, which grabbed his neck and lifted him up in the air.

Although Liu Lang is the young sect master of the Xuan Corpse Sect and has abundant cultivation resources, he has only just entered the C level not long ago. Against this mysterious black-robed man, I don't know how many times worse.

Shen Mengting frowned slightly, and saw that the person's strength was extraordinary, so she said coldly: "Who is Your Excellency? Let him go, otherwise I will not be polite." ”

"Huh. With a wave of his hand, Liu Lang hit the wall and bounced to the ground. He put his hands behind his back and said coldly, "It doesn't matter who I am, it doesn't matter if I tell you." Kamen Lord, belonging to the North American Dark United Sect. ”

Shen Mengting has memory loss and doesn't know what the North American Dark United Sect is.

But Liu Lang is a member of the National African Affairs Bureau and has access to a lot of information. Immediately, his face changed drastically and said, "What? North American Dark United Sect? You, what are you doing here in our Huaxia Continent?"

As for the Kamen Lord, he hadn't heard of it.

Although this sect has not yet reached the point of being the pinnacle of the world, it should not be underestimated, it originated during the Civil War of the United States, and at first some dark superpowers who were discouraged in Europe, or were excluded, or wanted to open up new territories.

Among them are werewolves, bloods, dark mages, and even all sorts of strange species.

Then the Civil War broke out, and the dark superpowers united against the strongest of the British army. After the eventual victory in the war, the organization survived and continues to grow to this day.

This organization is ostensibly the North American chapter of the Global Dark Council. However, it is actually a powerful organization that operates independently, and its growth is accompanied by the establishment and growth of the entire United States.

In terms of history alone, it is much older than the Midi Super Shield Bureau, which was established during the First World War. It can be seen that its deep-rooted and comprehensive strength is strong.

"Hehe, the master of the ability naturally has things to do, which is inconvenient to say. The Kamen Lord walked towards Shen Mengting step by step with his hands behind his back, "Shen Mengting, I've heard about you, and you have also studied and lived in North America. Now, on behalf of the Dark United Sect of North America, the Master of Power has made a formal invitation to you. ”

"Invite, you want me to join the North American Dark United Sect?" Shen Mengting said in a cold voice.

"That's right, you're a zombie now, theoretically a creature of darkness. And all your past has also made the Huaxia National Africa Bureau unable to tolerate you. The Kamen Lord persuaded, "As long as you are willing to join, you will immediately have the status of a middle and high-level person." I believe that with your qualifications, sooner or later you will be able to reach the strength of the half-step S-level, and there is even a good chance that the strength will reach the S-level. Perhaps, in the future, you will become the leader of the Dark United Sect in North America. ”

The Kamen Lord threw out one bait after another.

"Wait, she's my natal corpse. Liu Lang was anxious and rushed forward.

The Kamen Lord waved his hand casually, and a black mist blasted Liu Lang away, and he didn't even have the interest to look at him more. continued: "I know that this garbage has a soul connection with you through soul refining. Don't worry, the soul link between them is very weak, and the master can easily cut off your link. Plus, we'll help you get revenge on the man who killed you. ”

"Kill Wang Yan?" Shen Mengting raised her eyebrows slightly.

"That's right, there are few organizations in the world that dare to do something to Wang Yan. Kamen Lord said proudly, "But, we dare." ”

……

"Brother Zhou, didn't you say that there is something important to say?" Secretary Tian drank tea and said in a warm voice, "I'm also very curious, does Brother Zhou have a big plan?"

An information alert sounded.

Zhou Zhiyi checked the information on his mobile phone, and then chuckled: "That's right, that's a big plan, and it's a great plan." Xiao Yan, Secretary Tian, follow me. ”

As he spoke, he led Wang Yan and Secretary Tian to get up and walk towards the depths of the old mansion.

After walking for more than five minutes, I arrived at the backyard surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Zhou Zhiyi fumbled for a switch.

Buzz!

Several rockeries were unexpectedly shifted under the agitation of the mechanism, revealing a black hole.

Smack!

Zhou Zhiyi flicked the switch, and the lights in the cave suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire cave entrance, and you could clearly see the ancient stone steps extending downward.

"This is a refuge hole in our family's old house, but most of the old big families will have escape and refuge routes. "I renovated it so that it could be used as a base for my plans." Xiao Yan, Secretary Tian, please!"

Secretary Tian and Wang Yan both carried their hands behind their backs and did not make any movements.

"Two, don't you trust me Zhou?" Zhou Zhiyi turned up the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was smiling.

"Hehe, it's the first time I've seen this kind of ancient mechanism cave. Secretary Tian's eyebrows were a little serious and vigilant and said, "However, Brother Zhou, what are your plans? You still need a hidden base? If you don't make it clear, I won't go down." ”

At the same time, Wang Yan's mobile phone rang.

Wang Yan gestured to the two.

Zhou Zhi smiled and made a gesture of please.

Wang Yan answered the mobile phone, and Liu Baomin's voice came from the other side: "Xiaoyan, something big has happened." I listened to your suggestion and searched the database of the public security system again to see the common features of disappearance cases across the country in the past year. Unexpectedly, this check found a big problem. In recent years, more than 30 young women have been linked to Danghu among the missing people across the country. They are between 18 and 23 years old, and they are much more beautiful than Zhou Zheng. The most important thing is that they all traveled to Danghu Lake shortly before they disappeared. ”

Wang Yan's heart froze, and sure enough, the other party seemed to want a young and beautiful woman, and the conditions were very likely to be young and beautiful *****.

"Bastard, what are you going to do?" Liu Baomin was on the other end of the phone, and suddenly roared angrily, "Please come out of the ......" Before the last word was finished, the phone hung up.

Wang Yan cut off the phone expressionlessly and looked at Zhou Zhiyi coldly.

"Hehe, Xiaoyan. You entrusted Liu Baomin to investigate the disappearance case, what happened to the result?" Zhou Zhiyi smiled elegantly, "What situation do you need my help with?"

"Alas~" Wang Yan sighed heavily, "Teacher Zhou, a beautiful woman, why be a thief." ”

"Xiao Yan, what happened?" Secretary Tian's expression was uncertain, and he took a few steps back slightly.

"Huh. Zhou Zhiyi put his hands behind his back and laughed easily, "Xiaoyan, you are still young and don't understand many things. This world is a history written by the victors and the victors. Originally, the friendship between you and me was focused on the friendship of gentlemen, and I didn't want to murder you. It's a pity that creation makes people, and the world is impermanent. After all, you and I got involved and became enemies. ”

"Zhou Zhiyi, what the hell are you doing?" Secretary Tian shouted majestically, "I don't care what conspiracy you are doing, stop it for me immediately, if you are willing to surrender and confess, I can intercede for you." ”

Wang Yan turned his body sideways, blocked in front of Secretary Tian, and signaled him not to say any more. Since Zhou Zhiyi chooses to show his true face now, it means that he is absolutely unwilling and cannot give up easily.

"Xiaoyan, I advise you not to act rashly. Zhou Zhiyi said indifferently, "I know that your strength is extraordinary, and you are known as one of the top young masters in the world, and even many masters of the older generation are far from being your opponents." However, with your wisdom and insight, of course you know that if I am not absolutely sure, I will not keep you. Haven't you felt something was wrong until now?"

"You!" Wang Yan said with a pale face, "You moved in the tea?"

"Hehe, the tea is fine, but there is a problem with the sandalwood in the house. Zhou Zhiyi chuckled, "That is our North American Dark United Sect, which has gathered thousands of years of knowledge accumulation of dark forces, and then refined it with modern technology, and carefully formulated the 'Medusa Kiss', which was originally specially designed to deal with members of the Bright Sect." Even the Holy Flame, who claims to be able to do all the evil and filthy things today, can't deal with this 'Medusa kiss'. ”
