After Xuan Cheng left there, he took out a compass and began to look for the group of Shen Wei's men who had disappeared.

It's just that what I thought was a relatively simple thing seems to be a little unexpected.

In the City God Temple, Shen Muzhi and the four of them waited left and right to see Xuan Cheng return, and gradually felt a little uneasy in their hearts.

Shen Wei was even more anxious, especially when he thought of what Xuan Cheng had said before, a thought in his heart couldn't help but pop up. Although he knew that it was probably impossible, he still worried.

Fortunately, he could still bear to keep this thought firmly in his heart, and he never showed half of it in front of Shen Muzhi.

Time passed slowly, and the sun in the sky gradually set to the west.

The anxious look on Shen Wei's face became heavier and heavier.

Shen Muzhi sat at the door, turning his head from time to time to glance at the closed door not far away.

Qingguo sat obediently on the side, holding his chin with his hand, staring blankly at the movement of the sunlight on the floor tiles in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Finally, Shen Wei couldn't wait.

He called Shen Muzhi aside and opened his mouth to discuss, "Otherwise, you and Qingguo and your eldest brother will continue to wait here, and I will go out to meet the people of the caravan first, and then come to pick you up." ”

When Shen Muzhi heard this, his brows furrowed.

Now they don't know what the situation is outside, although there are many people outside, and everyone is watching, the enemy may not dare to attack directly, but it is inevitable that there will be a case.

Especially for the enemy, Shen Wei is the most important target, he goes out alone, and there is still the possibility that the enemy will do it.

But Xuan Cheng hasn't returned for a long time, what if something happens?

Shen Muzhi hesitated, Shen Wei looked at him like this, and was about to make a decision, when suddenly the gate of the City God Temple opened.

Everyone couldn't help but get excited, Shen Muzhi bypassed Shen Wei, pulled his legs and walked to the door. But he didn't take two steps before he stopped.

A head poked out of the door, an old man, with a wrinkled face full of caution. After looking left and right for a while, he saw Shen Muzhi at the door of the main hall, and after being stunned for a moment, his whole body squeezed in through the crack in the door.

The old man was wearing a short blue cloth jacket, his figure was slightly rickety, and his steps were relatively vague, and he looked like an old ordinary old man. He carried a basket in his hand, and the basket contained a lot of things, and covered it with a blue cloth, which was tightly covered.

Shen Muzhi looked at the old man who came to the door, and couldn't figure out the old man's path for a while, so he didn't speak.

After the old man looked at Shen Mu a few times, he walked over with a basket.

Soon, the old man arrived at the foot of the steps in front of the hall, looked up at Shen Mu on the steps, and then continued to walk up the steps.

Shen Muzhi couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted, "Old man." ”

The old man stopped, raised his head and squinted at Shen Muzhi, and asked, "You called me?"

Shen Muzhi nodded: "Old man, what are you here for?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "The young man asked an interesting question, and he naturally came to burn incense when he entered the temple!"

When Shen Muzhi heard this, he was also stunned. This old man really looks like an ordinary old man, and he doesn't have any hostility on him, and the reason for entering the temple to burn incense is completely reasonable, and there is nothing that Shen Muzhi can suspect.

The only thing that made people feel wrong was that at this time, this old man suddenly appeared and walked into this place where the door was obviously closed.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Muzhi said again, "Miaozhu is not here today, and the old man will come back on an unknown day?"

The old man smiled and replied, "It's okay." I brought my own incense and candles, and it doesn't matter if the temple is not there. As he spoke, the old man patted the basket in his hand.

Shen Muzhi glanced at the basket, the old man slapped it a few times just now, making the blue cloth slide slightly, and the things that were originally tightly covered revealed a corner, bright red color, neatly arranged one by one, it was indeed a candle.

After Shen Muzhi was stunned for a moment, he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. It seems that he is too nervous. This old man really came to burn incense and worship God.

So, he moved his feet and took a step to the side.

The old man smiled at him and walked towards the main hall.

Crossing the threshold, the old man saw the 'Yan Bai' lying next to him, and after glancing at it, his eyes quickly swept over Shen Wei and the others in the hall, and then asked in surprise, "This is?"

Shen Muzhi, who was following behind, replied with a smile, "He's fine, he just fainted." ”

The old man turned his head to look at him, and there was obvious fear in his eyes.

Shen Muzhi tried to squeeze out a smile and try to make himself appear harmless to humans and animals.

The old man managed to squeeze out a smile, and then walked tremblingly towards the row of candlesticks in front of the idol.

Shen Wei walked up to Shen Muzhi's side, lowered his voice and asked, "What's the situation?"

Shen Muzhi also replied in a low voice: "Come to the incense." ”

Shen Wei frowned, staring at the old man who was bending down to lift the blue cloth from the basket and preparing to take the candle, his eyes full of vigilance.

However, the old man really seems to be just a person who comes to incense.

The red candles were all lit by him very reverently, and then inserted them one by one into the candle stand, a total of nine. After inserting it, the old man carried the basket again, walked to the offering table next to it, took out all the tributes contained in the basket, and placed them on the offering table one by one. Then, he took out the prepared incense, lit it, took a few steps back, reverently recited the words in his mouth, and after some sincere prayers, inserted it into the incense burner.

When he had done this, he took a few more steps back, knelt on the futon in front of the censer, and kowtowed.

This scene is completely a devout believer.

There is no doubt about it.

Shen Muzhi's head tightened and began to relax.

Even the vigilant look in Shen Wei's eyes gradually faded, and the frowning brows gradually unfolded.

On the candle stand, the nine bright red candles, the flame is bright yellow, dancing with the wind.

A faint smell of burning candles, mixed with the smell of sandalwood, slowly wafted through the main hall.

This smell is the same as the smell of incense that Shen Muzhi and the others smelled when they entered the City God Temple in the morning.

After kowtowing nine times, the old man knelt down in front of the idol, his forehead pressed to the ground, motionless, as if he were asleep. Shen Muzhi waited for a while, but still didn't see him get up, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, could it be that something suddenly happened to this old man? Just as he was about to step forward, his feet just moved, and suddenly the whole person was dizzy, and then everything in front of him suddenly blurred.

Suddenly, the alarm bell sounded in my heart, but it was too late. He wanted to turn his head to warn his father beside him, but as soon as he turned his head, his eyes were dark, and he lost consciousness.

The old man kneeling in front of the incense burner, listening to the sound of slamming to the ground, silently counted in his heart, one, two, three......

I waited for a long time, but I didn't wait for four.

He frowned, hesitated, and then looked behind him. After seeing Shen Muzhi and Shen Wei who fell together, his heart was relieved, and then he looked to the other side, and saw that the girl in Tsing Yi had fallen to the ground, and the other young man just tilted his head, and after being stunned, he laughed.

He had forgotten that this boy was already sitting on the ground, so naturally he couldn't hear the sound of falling to the ground.

Thinking about it, he laughed out loud. While laughing, he got up, looked up at the expressionless golden body, and the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly became a little thicker.

"That's good. After the old man muttered in a low voice, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the golden body, and then picked up the basket beside him and turned around and walked out of the hall.

It wasn't long before he went back and forth, with an extra trolley in his hand.

After parking the trolley outside the hall, he entered the hall again, carried Shen Muzhi and the others out one by one, and put them on the trolley.

After all four of them were loaded, the old man looked at the other 'Yan Bai' who was unconscious on the side, hesitated for a moment, and then carried it out and threw it on the cart.

After everything was loaded, the old man pushed the cart and walked to the backyard.

In the backyard, corpses were strewn all over the ground. The blood had congealed into large black patches on the ground. The sun is shining down, and I don't feel warm, only cold.

When the old man came over, when he saw this scene, his wrinkled face, without any panic, his expression was calm and even indifferent, and he quickly pushed the trolley out of there and left through the back door.

......

......

On the street, Xuan Cheng, who couldn't find Shen Wei's subordinates for a long time, was already full of impatience in his eyebrows.

In the entire Anding City, he had already walked most of the place, but he still couldn't find the slightest clue. He looked down at the indifferent pointer on the compass in his hand, and his irritability made him want to smash it.

At this time, Jin Chang, dressed in a long robe, appeared not far behind him.

Xuan Cheng frowned, pretended not to know, and continued to walk forward with the compass.

Jin Chang hesitated for a moment and followed.

"Are you looking for Shen Wei's men?" Jin Chang asked first.

Xuan Cheng ignored it and continued to move forward on his own.

Jin Chang looked at Xuan Cheng's back with complicated eyes, and after a little hesitation, he said, "I can help you find them." ”

Xuan Cheng in front of him changed his expression, gritted his teeth, stopped, and turned his head to look at him, "What conditions?"

Jin Chang was finally willing to talk, his heart was relieved, and he was about to answer, but Xuan Cheng said again, "If you want me not to meddle in this matter again, then I advise you not to speak." ”

Jin Chang smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, my condition is not this." ”

Xuan Cheng narrowed his eyes, examined him, and after a moment, said, "Then you can tell me." ”

Jin Chang replied: "Take those people from the Shen family and leave Anding City." ”

Xuan Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "What? Urging us to hurry up and get out of the city, so that the old immortal can do it, right?"

Jin Chang smiled bitterly, "You can think whatever you want." It's just that if you continue to stay in the city, you may really not need him to do it!"

Shen Wei had told him about the situation in Jingzhong before, so he understood the meaning of Jin Chang's words at once. In fact, he also knew why Jin Chang would use this as a condition to talk to him, he was afraid that he would fight with the old immortal in the city.

His strength is indeed not as good as that old immortal, but it is not easy for that old thing to kill him. Jin Chang knew this, and at the same time, he also knew that Liu Guan was not only cooperating with the one in Jingzhong, but also interested in the monster next to the third son of the Shen family, and he was bound to win. So he was very worried that if things continued to be so deadlocked, Xuan Cheng and Liu Guanzhen would make a move in this city. If you do it, there will be trouble in the city. At that time, this matter will not be able to hide from the big sword gate behind Jin Chang.

The matter is big, and once the Great Sword Gate learns about it, Jin Chang will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

Therefore, he found Xuan Cheng at this time, and on the condition of helping him find out the group of people under Shen Wei, he urged him to leave this Anding City with the Shen family as soon as possible.

And Xuan Cheng's ridicule just now is actually just a matter of character. In fact, he did not resist Kim's deal. When he left the City God Temple, Shen Wei and the others had already planned to leave the city when they found it, since Jin Chang was willing to 'icing on the cake' to do something good at this time, then why did he refuse?

Of course, he couldn't get used to people like Jin Chang, so he didn't want to agree too happily.

So, he said, "Going out of the city is also death, since they are all dead, it is always good to live two more days." What's more, what if the one in Kyochu fails? Then it will be a different situation. As he spoke, Xuan Cheng blinked, looked at Jin Chang with disdain, and said, "If you want me to say, it's better for you to hurry back to Beijing and stare at it." If that person fails, it won't be just those people who won't be able to eat and walk around, you say?"
