Cheng.

In an unknown alley, the old man walked tremblingly through the low alley.

There were not many pedestrians in the alley, and most of them had heard the news that the imperial court had come to assassinate the history, and they all gathered in front of the Yu Hou Mansion on Nanyang Street to see the rare sight of this ancient Tong City that had been rare for decades.

He walked slowly, staggered, and looked a little alone in the alleys.

But at the same time he walked very fast, panting in his mouth and sweating on his forehead.

Finally, he drove to the deepest part of the alley.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

He stood still in front of the gate and knocked at the door.

Soon, an impatient response came from the door: "Who?"

The old man was stunned, and the voice that responded was much different from the voice he remembered.

"I'm Wang Daoan from Luoyi Lane, I let Zhou Dart take a trip a few days ago, and he should be back now. “

As he spoke, the people in the door were silent for a while.

"Little brother?" asked Wang Daoan, who was sticking to the door and whispering towards the door.

The door suddenly opened, and a young man who looked to be in his early twenties stood in front of the old man.

The old man didn't think much about it, and then opened his mouth and asked, "Where is Zhou Darthead?"

The young man did not respond to the old man's question immediately, but looked the old man up and down, and was silent.

"Little brother, may I ask Zhou Darthead?" the old man asked again, his tone a little more eager than before.

"Gone. The young man replied coldly, and then closed the door.

Seeing this, the old man hurriedly stretched out his hand and closed the door against it.

"Haven't you come back yet? Then when will Zhou Daotou be able to rush back? The old man is really in a hurry to use that batch of saplings. ”

The young man frowned: "Won't come back." ”

The old man's heart tightened: "Why? Is there an accident on the road?"

"You old man!" who expected that these words aroused the dissatisfaction of the young man, and he said impatiently: "The surname Zhou made a windfall a few days ago, and I don't know where to pick up fifty taels of silver, so he sold this broken yard to me, and now, I guess I really have money, I don't know where to go!?"

With that, the young man lost the last of his patience and slammed the door shut.

At that time, the old man's body stood in front of the gate of the courtyard as if he had been immobilized by someone.

He didn't move, and the expression on his face tended to be still.

Long.

The old man's body suddenly began to tremble.

He realizes that he has been deceived, but has difficulty understanding why he has been deceived.

He paid, and the other party readily agreed.

He saved not only the old tree, but also the people of the entire ancient Tong City.

Why didn't these people understand how much the tree had sacrificed for the city, why did they swing their butcher's knife at their guardian, why did they take away his only hope?

Is the end of 700 years of protection the end of the event?

At that moment, something in the old man's pupils finally broke out of the cocoon, and the flames, the raging flames infected his entire eyeball.

No!

This should not be the end of this story.

He muttered to himself, a gloom so thick that it could barely be dissolved on his wrinkled face.

......

Outside the Tonglin forest in the west of the city, there are crowds of people who rushed from all over the ancient Tong City.

"Uncle, you said that this monster in Tonglin killed Hu Yang, right?" In front of Gu Tonglin, Yu Tong, the new magistrate of Gu Tong City, stood in front of Tong Lin, staring at Hu Fuxing and squinting his eyes and asked.

Hu Fuxing came out with a gloomy face, walked up to Yu Tong, and nodded: "It's the monster that Tongmu turned into, and it hurt my son." “

"I have told you about this matter no less than ten times, and the Hu family's petitioner has also been waiting in front of your house for half a month, and you have to wait until the Holy Decree is alarmed, and ......you will not respond until the Holy Decree falls!

Hu Fuxing said with an indignant face, as if the man who didn't even pay attention to Dayan's law yesterday in order to protect his son had changed his mind.

Of course, the people around were aware of yesterday's events, and they all scoffed at what Hu Fuxing said. But......

The lord from the imperial court had just read out the second holy decree, in which it was said that the saint had heard about the Tonglin of Gutong City, and ordered the new person to point to Yu Tong to investigate the matter, and once the matter was true, he asked Gutongcheng to cut down the Tonglin as quickly as possible.

Rumors about the existence of demons in Tonglin have been spreading in the ancient Tongcheng for half a month.

It's just that the people's feelings for this Tonglin are extremely complicated, the ancient Tongcheng has had the legend of the Yin Dragon of Tonglin Town since a long time ago, and at this moment, the people have changed the story they have heard since childhood, and it is inevitable that there is something strange in their hearts.

What's more, it was Hu Fuxing who told the story.

After experiencing yesterday's events, the impression of this big family in Gutong City in the hearts of the people in the city can be described as extremely low. And adhering to this prejudice, everything Hu Fuxing does and says now will naturally be hostile to the people. Lang Cheng, who happened to be the assassin of the history, ordered Yu Tong to solve the matter immediately, so that he could go back and report to His Majesty. Therefore, these people with ulterior motives and people full of curiosity came to this tung forest with Yu Tong and Hu Fuxing and others at that time.

"Alright, alright. Hu Fuxing's great truth was endless, but Yu Tong waved his hand, and said in a hearty voice: "Don't come to this vain set of your own family." ”

"You said that there is a demon in this Tonglin. Then prove it to me. ”

At this time, the man who had just lost his position still looked like he didn't care about anything.

"Prove?!

"There's no way to prove it?" Yu Tong smiled. Then he bothered himself and yawned again: "Then disperse." ”

Saying that, the sleepy-eyed magistrate really wanted to leave.

"Slow!" Lang Cheng gave birth to his hand at that time and stopped in front of Yu Tong.

"Yuzhi County. But you came with the emperor's order, you are so perfunctory, are you too dismissive to take the words of the saint as child's play?"

"What did Lord Lang say? The Holy One asked me to thoroughly check whether there are any monsters in Tonglin, and I have checked, but there is none. How can it be said to be child's play?" Yu Tong looked at Lang Cheng with an innocent face.

"Yu Zhi County, this is called an investigation, my Dayan is just too many people who are like Zhi County, so the saint is not worried. Lang Cheng rebuked with righteousness.

"Lord Nalang thinks that this case should be investigated? Yu Tong squinted his eyes and asked with a smile.

"Hmph. Lang Cheng snorted coldly, and his eyes fell on Ye Yuan beside him at that time. "I heard that Ye Shengzi of Qiankun Gate has studied demonic things, and he thinks that there are monsters in this Tonglin forest, and he knows it when he sees it. ”

Qiankun Gate!

As soon as these three words came out, the people present were in an uproar.

In the eyes of these ordinary people, the Qiankun Gate is second only to the Immortal Gate of Yuding Peak and Ziyun Palace, if a child from an ordinary family is favored by this sect and is included in the door, it is a great thing for a person to ascend to heaven. And the person in front of him turned out to be the holy son of Qiankun Sect, and suddenly the eyes of the people looking at this Ye Yuan also became hot and awe-inspiring.

Ye Yuan naturally enjoyed these special encounters that everyone looked up to, he walked to the crowd with his head held high, and the moment he staggered by Hu Fuxing, Hu Fuxing handed over something to this Holy Son without a trace. Ye Yuan, who walked in front of everyone, arched his hand towards Lang Cheng: "I only know a little bit in the bottom, because I am worried about my saint, and I have to dare to try it in the bottom." ”

As he spoke, Ye Yuan turned his head and squinted at Yu Tong in front of him, while the corner of his eye glanced at Wei Lai and his party who were reaching out to him. In this Ye Shengzi's smiling eyes, wisps of murderous intent flashed away.

Yu Tong also smiled and stepped back, revealing the entrance of Tonglin in front of Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan walked there and stood still, his expression was silent, and the aura around him surged.

Seeing this, the surrounding people held their breath and stared at each other nervously.

I saw Ye Yuan's clothes rise suddenly, and the five divine gates on his chest, back of his neck, eyebrows, left arm and right arm lit up one after another, and the white brilliance on four of them flowed, and the appearance of the white tiger jumped suddenly, but there was no divine pattern flickering on the last divine gate, obviously this Ye Shengzi had not engraved his own divine pattern on the fifth divine gate.

But Rao is like this, the appearance of the white tiger and the snow-white brilliance shine together, and in the eyes of those ordinary people, this situation is still enough shocking scene.

But before the people could see what kind of immortal method this holy son was making, Ye Yuan, who was facing away from everyone, suddenly shook the hand that Hu Fuxing handed over.

Yes!

A terrible wail suddenly came from the depths of the Tong Forest, and a bloody light suddenly lit up from there, and a faint blood-colored figure shuttled through the forest, and the figure appeared from time to time.

The people's faces turned pale, and their bodies subconsciously retreated a few steps, and their eyes in the direction of the Tonglin were even more shocked.

Then Ye Shengzi's body suddenly shook, he took a few steps back, his face turned faintly pale, his eyes flashed with fear, and the whining of blood light and strength also dissipated.

"What's going on?" Lang Cheng stepped forward to support Ye Yuan and asked with concern.

Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and waved his hand, and said with a solemn expression: "This vision of Fang Cai in the forest, have you ever seen it. ”

"Naturally. What is that?" asked Lang Cheng.

"Dryad. Ye Yuan said: "And it's also a seven-hundred-year-old demon, just before I came into contact with it slightly, the other party's demon power injured me, once that thing is born, I'm afraid the entire Gutong City will have to be buried for it." ”

When these words came out, the surrounding people suddenly let out a burst of exclamations, and they heard the strange blood light and the terrible wail just now, and that kind of scene made these people goosebumps all over their bodies, and when they heard Ye Yuan's words at this moment, they were even more convinced of what the other party said, and looked at Ye Yuan with panicked faces, as if they had regarded this holy son of Qiankun Gate as a life-saving straw.

The corner of Lang Cheng's eyes took in the expressions of the people around him, and he endured the smile that was about to ripple on his face, and asked with calm eyes: "Even Ye Shengzi is not an opponent?

Ye Yuan said: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to cut down this Tonglin first, and take the shelter of this monster, I am arranging a formation with the elders in my sect, or I can take advantage of the fledgling of this demon to win a glimmer of life for the people of Gutong City." ”

"It's just that this Tonglin is the ancestral land of the Yu family after all, and I don't know ...... Yu Zhi County," Ye Yuan said this, his voice was a little quieter, and it seemed to be extremely difficult.

"Why should Brother Ye worry, Yu Zhixian has received the emperor's grace, how can he not understand the big rights and wrongs. Saying that, Lang Cheng also turned his head to look at Yu Tong on the side, and the people around him also looked at each other at that time, expecting the other party to give a positive answer.

But Yu Tong, who was the focus of everyone at the moment, didn't seem to feel the solemn atmosphere on the field at all. He looked at everyone diffusely, as if he hadn't heard a conversation between Lang Cheng and Ye Yuan: "What's wrong?"

Lang Cheng frowned, secretly feeling that Yu Tong was pretending to be confused at the moment, which was a little too ridiculous. But on the surface, he still asked in a deep voice: "Yu Zhixian is willing to give up this fast forest land, let Ye Shengzi cast a method, suppress the big demon, and save the people of this ancient Tong City from fire and water?"

"This one. Yu Tong's face suddenly dawned.

Then he grinned and said, "Of course ......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but before this breath could be finished, Yu Tong's voice sounded again.

"No, I can't. “

......

"Brother Alai, you don't really have monsters in this forest, do you? Will they eat people?" Liu Qingyan, who came with everyone, was also a little timid after seeing that situation, she pulled Wei Lai's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

Wei Lai glanced at Liu Qingyan with a strange expression when he heard this, and it took some effort to swallow back the sentence "Aren't you a demon yourself, what kind of demon are you afraid of?" Then he shook his head and said, "Demons have to be good and bad. ”

"There may be real demons in this forest, but the real cannibalistic things are outside the forest. ”

Wei said, and his gaze fell on the Hu family master who was standing behind Ye Yuan. His eyes narrowed thoughtfully.

......

"Yu Zhi County, do you want to figure out the priorities of this! Could it be that for the sake of this just piece of Tong Forest, you want to let the people of the entire Ancient Tong City suffer the Great Demon Disaster?" Lang Cheng gritted his teeth and said word by word.

The eyes of the surrounding people looking at Yu Tong also became puzzled and puzzled at that time, and such doubts quickly turned into anger as time passed.

"This monster is in the ancestral land of your Yuzhi County, and you protect this monster everywhere, isn't there something unsavory to do with this monster?" Ye Yuan struck while the iron was hot, seeing the indignation of the people around him, he secretly felt that the time was ripe, so he lowered his voice and asked at that time.

Yu Tong didn't say anything, just stared at him with a smile, as if he was looking at something extremely interesting.

"It must be yes, I've heard of a method of sacrificing monsters with the blood of living people! He Yu Tong must want to dedicate our entire Gutong City to that monster! No wonder I look for him every day to seek justice for my son, but he is closed to the door, it turns out that he is thinking of such a vicious thing. Hu Fuxing also immediately pointed at Yu Tong and reprimanded angrily. Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, but the anger in his tone at the moment was genuine - in Hu Fuxing's view, the reason why his son Hu Xu died was because Yu Tong sent the white wolf swallowing the moon to Wei Lai, and relying on this knife, Wei Lai had the capital to embarrass the Hu family. It is even very likely that all this is operated by Yu Tong behind the scenes. At this moment, he hated his own nephew to the core, and he couldn't wait to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.

And in this world, a conspiracy is always the easiest to win people's hearts, especially if this conspiracy is supported by some specious "evidence".

The people soon took Hu Fuxing's words seriously.

Hu Fuxing's son is indeed dead, and it is indeed a fact that he begged Yu Tong for more than half a month at the gate of Yu Mansion, and the wail and terrifying blood light in the Tong forest are what everyone has seen.

Why did Yu Tong turn a blind eye to his cousin's death? Turning a blind eye to his own uncle's request to see him? At this moment, he wanted to stop everyone from suppressing that monster?

There seems to be only one explanation for everything—this former little marquis has some kind of unsavory relationship with the dryad, and such a relationship should be extremely filthy and vicious.

There is darkness hidden in the depths of the human heart, so people also like to use darkness to speculate on others.

But in the face of everyone's angry and suspicious eyes, Yu Tong suddenly smiled: "Did I say that you are so hot?"

"I only said that I wouldn't cut down the Tonglin forest, but I didn't say that I wouldn't let you subdue the demons!"

When Hu Fuxing heard this, he didn't wait for others to speak, so he retorted: "Didn't you listen to Ye Shengzi? You need to cut down this tong forest before you can force that monster to appear, and if you don't let us cut it, how can you subdue the demon? You are clearly arguing! You are excusing the monster raised by your Yu family!"

"Uncle, what are these words? Could it be that if you don't cut down the Tong Forest, you can't subdue the demons?" Yu Tong asked with an innocent face.

"Naturally. Hu Fuxing responded.

"That's right. Yu Tong looked distressed, and Ye Yuan and the others frowned, staring at Yu Tong deadly, secretly speculating about what he was thinking.

But at this moment, Yu Tong slapped his head suddenly, as if he remembered something: "Since that's the case, then I'll come to subdue the demon!"

Probably everyone didn't expect Yu Tong to say such a thing at this time, Lang Cheng lowered his voice and asked, "Will you subdue the demon?"

"I understand a little. Yu Tong smiled, and then he didn't give everyone time to react at all, and walked in front of the Tong Forest, took out a thing from his arms and held it in his hand, and then he was just like that Ye Yuan, and the breath around his body surged, and the four divine gates lit up in front of him, and he shook the thing in his hand suddenly, and the sudden appearance of the blood-colored figure and the terrible wail also came from the depths of the Tong Forest again.

The voice was getting closer and closer, and the blood light seemed to begin to move towards the exit of Tonglin, and the people around them turned pale and looked frightened.

And that Hu Fuxing was even more unbearable than those ordinary people, he stared at Yu Tong with wide eyes, stretched out his hand, but his fingers were trembling, and he asked, "You...... How are you ...... How?"

Yu Tong turned his head when he heard this, the expression on his face was calm, and there was no trace of all kinds of abnormalities after Ye Yuan's "demon subjugation" before, he looked at Hu Fuxing and said with a smile: "Uncle seems to be very curious. ”

"If that's not the case, let's make a deal, I'll tell my uncle where I learned this demon subjugation method, what about my uncle......"

Saying this, Yu Tong paused, the laziness and sleepiness on his face suddenly dissipated at that moment, and he suddenly became gloomy and solemn.

He threw the thing he was holding in his hand lightly and threw it to the ground in front of Hu Fuxing.

It was a small rattle, and it looked very ordinary, and the rope that held the drum was still a little worn, apparently it had been used for a long time.

And just this one thing shocked Hu Fuxing, who saw its appearance clearly, and almost fell to the ground.

Yu Tong's voice also sounded at this time: "Uncle, tell me, what kind of benefits this Qiankun Gate has given to my uncle, so that my uncle can even give up his own son!"

As soon as these words came out, Hu Fuxing's already shaky body shook again, and this time he could no longer control himself, and his whole person fell to the ground with a pale face as if he had been struck by lightning.

The people around heard this and didn't react to the meaning of Yu Tong's words, but at this time, the blood light got closer and closer, and the wail in his mouth became clearer......

The voice was terrible, but it was oozing.

But it doesn't seem to be a meaningless roar like a beast......

It's more like saying something......

It was only because of the fear in their hearts that they did not discern it in detail, but now they gradually heard it clearly.

The voice was saying......

Daddy...... Save me...... Daddy...... Save me......
