After Shen Muzhi and Xuan Cheng chatted under the tree for a while, their originally boring mood improved a little.

When the two turned around from under the tree and looked at the group of people drinking tea, Shen Muzhi suddenly found that Qingguo was not there.

She was there just now.

Shen Muzhi immediately looked elsewhere, but he looked at the entire courtyard, and he didn't see Qingguo's figure.

Shen Muzhi suddenly became nervous.

"Qingguo is gone. He immediately grabbed Xuan Cheng, who was about to walk away, and said in a deep voice.

Xuan Cheng was stunned for a moment, and when he looked around, he was indeed gone. However, that Wang Qi is also gone.

After Xuan Cheng said this, Shen Muzhi's original nervous mind was slightly relaxed, maybe Wang Qi took Qingguo out to see the excitement. When I came here just now, I saw that all kinds of stalls had been set up at the entrance of this City God Temple, and there were all kinds of strange things. Qingguo's eyes were already shining at that moment.

It's just that thinking of that old man, Shen Mu's heart is still a little uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Xuan Cheng, "I'll go out and look for it." ”

After speaking, he was about to leave, but Xuan Cheng suddenly grabbed him and said, "You stay here, I'll go out to find it." After speaking, Shen Muzhi was not allowed to speak, so he pulled out his leg and walked out quickly.

Seeing this, Shen Muzhi had no choice but to follow what he said.

On the other side, Miao Zhu didn't know what interesting things he said, and Yu Fucheng and Shen Wei both laughed. Shen Muping sat aside and smiled slightly.

Shen Muzhi glanced at it and didn't walk over.

At this time, Yu Fucheng suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Mu, then looked at Shen Muping, and asked, "How is Muping's leg injury?

Shen Muping replied with a smile, "Thank you Uncle Yu for your concern, it's already much better." ”

"Two days ago, I heard that I found a hot spring in the mountains of Qishan in the west, and it is said to have some miraculous effects. It's been getting colder lately, so why don't you go back and try it together? Maybe this hot spring will also be good for your leg injury. Yu Fucheng said.

Shen Muping glanced at Shen Wei on the side, and replied with a smile, "Uncle Yu is kind, Muping understands it." However, I won't go to this hot spring. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, we have been delayed here for several days, and it is time to go. ”

"Leaving?" Yu Fucheng had a look of surprise on his face.

Shen Wei took over, "I've been here for a few days, so I can't keep bothering you." ”

"What a nuisance. Yu Fu said, "Speaking of which, we haven't had such an opportunity to sit down and have a good chat for many years. ”

Shen Wei glanced at him and said, "Time is still long, and there will definitely be such opportunities in the future." ”

Yu Fucheng also smiled: "That's for sure." After speaking, the conversation changed and asked, "When are you going to leave?"

Shen Wei thought for a moment and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, it should be just these two days." ”

"Then I'll send you then. "Yu Fu became enlightened.

"Good. After Shen Wei finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and prepared to drink the tea in the cup. Miao Zhu, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly said, "The tea is a little cold, add some." ”

Shen Wei was stunned for a moment, then handed over the teacup with a smile.

Miaozhu took the teapot and added some tea to it. In the teacup, there was a sudden resurgence of heat.

Shen Wei looked at the steaming heat, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became rich.

Outside the temple, it was already very lively at this time.

All kinds of cries and sales, shuttling among the figures of people coming and going, one after another, endlessly.

After Xuan Cheng left the temple gate, he went all the way west along the crowded street, and after walking for a long time, the flow of people around him became sparse. After walking a little further, there were basically no people on the street, and even the surrounding houses were a little dilapidated.

When Xuan Cheng walked near an alley, he suddenly stopped. After looking into the alley for a moment, he turned and walked back into the alley.

Xuan Cheng didn't go deep enough before he stopped. Staring at the emptiness in front of him, he frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly shook his hand and threw out a silver talisman.

The rune floated forward, and in less than half a zhang, it suddenly stopped, and then the rune on it suddenly burst into a silver light, and then the scene in front of him gradually disappeared like ice and snow melting. Instead, it's a different story.

The alley is still the same alley, but with something less and something more.

Wang Qi, who was always shy and cramped, fell softly under the wall, blood hung from the corners of his mouth, his eyes closed, and he seemed to have no breath.

On the ground, there were runes drawn with gold sand, emitting a misty golden light, forming a circle, encircling a palm-sized bird. The little bird scurried left and right in the array of light, trying to escape, but every time it reached the border, a golden flash would bounce it back.

The thin feathers are scattered and stained with blood.

Behind the array of light was a young man dressed in white, carrying a cage in one hand and a bell in the other.

Xuan Cheng's appearance startled the young man.

Xuan Cheng was also quite surprised when he saw him. It's not the old thing!

"Who?" the young man shouted.

Xuan Cheng narrowed his eyes, his gaze swept over the bell in the young man's hand, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said coldly, "Did you Yunze Sect move the entire sect to the Jin Kingdom?"

When the young man heard this, his color suddenly changed.

"Let her go, and I'll let you go back and talk to that old thing. Xuan Cheng said again.

The young man changed color again, and shouted inwardly, "I don't know what you're talking about! This is a monster, I passed by here and saw this beast hurting people here, that's why I took action to subdue the demon! You want me to release this beast now, could it be that this beast is not an accomplice?" As he spoke, the young man quietly took two steps forward, approaching the edge of the golden light array.

Seeing this, Xuan Cheng's face sank, and the thing behind him that was tightly wrapped in cloth suddenly exploded, and a lake-green light with a sharp sword intent quickly swept out like lightning, directly breaking through the light array and stabbing at the young man behind.

The young man seemed to be stunned by this sharp swordsmanship, and he froze in place motionless, staring at the sword light that arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye, and was at a loss.

And Xuan Cheng seemed to really want to kill him, with a gloomy face, without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing that the sword light was about to hit the young man's head. Suddenly, the bell in the young man's hand did not move. The crisp bell sound turned into invisible ripples rippling, instantly slowing down the lake-green sword light, and then stagnating less than an inch in front of the young man.

Xuan Cheng's brows furrowed, and then the lake-green sword light suddenly retreated, and then slammed down, slashing at the bell in the young man's hand.

Above the bell, a golden light emerged.

There was a crunch on the ground, and the young man flew upside down.

The bell fell to the ground, Xuan Cheng's body shook, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

At this time, his face suddenly changed, and after glancing deeper into the alley, he did not hesitate, put his sword back into its sheath, and at the same time stepped forward with an arrow, broke into the light array, and after grasping the little bird in his hand with great accuracy, he turned around and left. When passing by Wang Qi, who was already out of breath, he bent down, scooped him up with his hands, and ran away.

As soon as he left, a fresh breeze blew from the depths of the alley, and an old thing with a childish face appeared beside the young man lying on the ground.

Glancing at the fleeting figure at the mouth of the alley, the old thing snorted, "Waste!"

The young man who was about to get up shook his whole body when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

The old thing didn't say anything, the big sleeves flicked, a wisp of fragrance spread, and the expression of the man lying on the ground suddenly became hideous, for a moment, only a moment, the man suddenly blushed, poof, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. The blood fell to the ground, and many small white bugs could be seen, wriggling in it.

After the man spat out a mouthful of blood, the flush on his face faded and became a little pale, but when his eyes fell on the wriggling white insects on the ground, his face showed joy.

"Thank you, Ancestor. The man hurriedly kowtowed.

"Go to the City God Temple and keep watch, there is news to inform me. After the old thing finished speaking, his figure flickered, and it disappeared like a wind.

The young man knelt on the ground with his forehead on the ground, and waited for a long time before he dared to raise his head and get up. After tidying up his clothes, he walked out of the alley.

Inside the City God Temple, suddenly the atmosphere was not right.

Shen Muzhi waited for a while, but when he didn't see Xuan Cheng coming back, he felt a little uneasy, so he walked from the backyard to the front yard, ready to go to the door to have a look.

It's just that as soon as I walked to the front yard, I saw the figures standing in the courtyard who didn't move much, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He looked left and right, and suddenly found that his father's men were gone, and he didn't know where they went.

These people are all elite soldiers under their father, and a few of them are also family generals, and they are the most well-behaved, without orders, and will never move around. Even if they are not in the army now, these people are attracted by the excitement outside the temple and want to see the excitement, and they will definitely not leave alone.

But at this time, where are these people still in this courtyard?

Shen Mu's heart suddenly tightened.

Something is going to happen!

As soon as this thought came to him, he didn't hesitate, turned around and ran to the backyard.

But at this moment, the door of the City God Temple suddenly closed.

There was a muffled bang, like a spring thunder suddenly exploding on a silent winter day. All the peace of the surface is broken at this moment.

The snow-white sword light lit up instantly, almost overshadowing the daylight in the sky.

There was no shouting of killing, only the sound of orderly footsteps in chaos.

Shen Muzhi struggled to run towards the backyard, and on the way, someone came up to intercept him from time to time, and he avoided it in a hurry. He didn't want to be entangled in these people.

With so many people in ambush in front, the backyard will certainly not be safe.

Perhaps, there are problems with Yu Fucheng and Miao Zhu.

Shen Muyi ran as many thoughts passed through his mind.

In the backyard, there has also been an accident.

Yu Fucheng suddenly vomited blood, looked at the three people in front of him with a shocked and puzzled face, his eyes hurriedly swept over the three of them, and then fell on Shen Wei, and then asked vaguely "Why?" After that, blood gushed out again, his body stiffened, and he leaned back, without a sound.

"This ...... This...... Lord Zhizhou, what's wrong with you?" Miaozhu hurriedly knelt beside Yu Fucheng and shouted in panic.

Shen Wei and Shen Muping both frowned, and after a moment of shock and panic, Shen Wei hurriedly got up and pushed Shen Muping to leave.

The sword light suddenly came, heading straight for Shen Wei's back.

It was the temple that suddenly burst out, and a sword pierced Shen Wei's heart. He was still frightened and at a loss just now, but his face was cold at the moment. The originally cloudy and deep eyes were full of indifferent murderous intent at this time.

Shen Wei, who should have been defenseless, suddenly shook his hand, and a black ball flew out and went straight to Miao Zhu's arms.

Miao Zhu was stunned, he didn't know the origin of the black ball, he didn't dare to hold it up, and the long sword that stabbed Shen Wei's back hurriedly returned to defend and stopped in front of the black ball.

Boom –

A loud noise, suddenly appeared, accompanied by fire, smoke, dirt, and wind......

Shen Wei rolled into the far corner with Shen Muping in his arms and hit the wall before stopping.

Dizzy and stuffy in his chest, he didn't care to see how the temple was doing with Yu Fucheng, nor did he care to check how Shen Muping was doing in his arms, who had been stunned, so he took a breath, picked up Shen Muping, and rushed to the front yard with his legs.

Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, he saw Shen Muzhi rushing over.

Shen Muzhi had already heard the movement just now, and he was naturally clear in his heart. His eyes quickly swept over his father's arms, and he didn't bother to ask his eldest brother how he was, so he hurriedly said, "The front yard can't get through." As he spoke, he swept his eyes in the backyard and saw the place where he had drunk tea before, which had become a ruin at this time.

The original square stone table was blown to pieces and scattered everywhere, and there was a shallow pit in the ground. Some of the surrounding greenery was also damaged, and the stumps were scattered all over the place.

The temple was lying in the ruins covered in blood, not knowing whether it was dead or alive. As for Yu Fucheng, lying among the flowers on the other side, face down, motionless, he also didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

After Shen Muzhi hesitated for a moment, he walked over quickly, pulled up the Miao Zhu who had passed out in a coma, and then went over to look at Yu Fucheng's situation, and when he saw that he was still angry, he also pulled up.

By this time, the men had already followed.

When Shen Muzhi saw it, he hurriedly asked his father to hide in the back room with his eldest brother. 's father refused, and wanted Shen Muzhi to hide with his eldest brother.

"Listen to me!Father!" Shen Mu sighed in a deep voice, Shen Wei's unfinished words suddenly paused, and after a deep gaze glanced at his face, he turned his head and led his eldest brother into the room.

Shen Muzhi casually stuffed Yu Fucheng into the house, and then, pulling the door, holding a knife in one hand and a temple blessing in the other, guarded the door of the house.
