Guard it.
It's like it guards you.
How long?
Until seven hundred years later.
What will happen then? Will the Yin Dragon die?
No.
Just the end.
Like every story you've ever heard.
The story will have an ending at that point.
......
The old man's body trembled.
He held the yellow leaf, and his palms trembled.
He looked up at the towering tree, and more and more yellowish leaves fell from the branches of the tree, fluttering and dense, like the heavy snow seven hundred years ago.
"Impossible. ”
"Impossible!"
The old man shook his head and muttered to himself, "Obviously, I have already found you divinity, why is this happening?"
"Why is this happening!?"
The old man's voice became louder and louder, and the anger and sadness contained in it became more and more intense.
The old man stretched out his hand and slowly placed it on the trunk of the ancient tree, his hand caressing the mottled lines on the bark, his eyes closed, and the golden light suddenly lit up between his palm and the trunk.
The divine aura wandered back and forth between the two, but at that moment, a bloody light poured out from the trunk of the ancient tree.
A childish but terrible wail rang out.
The old man's heart was shocked, and his body suddenly retreated a few steps, and fell to the ground not far away.
His description was embarrassing, but he didn't realize it.
He just stared at the blood light that was fading away and disappearing again in the trunk of the tree, and his brow was full of incredulity.
"Who the hell is it!?"
"Why?"
"Why?"
The old man kept asking, but the silent Tonglin didn't make any sound except for the rustling sound of the autumn wind, and naturally no one answered his question.
"Don't be afraid. I will help you, I will definitely save you. The old man walked in front of the ancient tree again, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked the trunk of the ancient tree, "Don't be afraid, no one can hurt you." No one!"
As he spoke, something began to roll in his eyes.
And at this moment, he suddenly thought of something, and in his cloudy eyes, he saw that the thing that was about to break out of the cocoon dispersed at that time, and he took his hand back.
"You wait for me, I'll go and bring those things. The old man said to the ancient tree, and then took a step and walked towards the ancient Tong City tremblingly.
......
"Ah Lai, are you awake?!" Sun Daren looked at Wei Lai, who suddenly appeared behind him, his body trembled, and then said with a rather weak heart.
Long Xiu and Liu Qingyan on the side also turned their heads after hearing Sun Daren's words, and after catching a glimpse of Wei Lai, the two also shrank their necks obviously.
"I feel like I need an explanation. Wei Lai's gaze swept over everyone one by one, and he said with a gloomy face.
"Ahh Xiao Qingyan, didn't you say that you want to eat roast duck on the corner of the street? "Miss Long is smart and clever, and she will talk about him right and left right at the moment.
Xiao Qingyan's mind was simple, and he looked at Long Xiu with some puzzlement: "Where is there any baked ...... on the street corner?"
Before he finished speaking, he blinked at her with the dragon embroidery, and the little guy realized it, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes!"
Seeing this, Long Xiu hurriedly took Liu Qingyan's hand and was about to leave.
"Yes, yes. The roast duck thief in that shop is delicious, let's do it together. Seeing this, Sun Daren also hurriedly said.
Clang!
A muffled sound sounded at that time, the divine gate on Wei Lai's chest flickered, and he stared at the three of them, his hands clasped in front of his chest, making a soft gurgling sound.
The posture is clear, and no one is allowed to leave.
The three of them glanced at each other, and after judging the situation and sizing up the situation, they all determined that the three of them might not be Wei Lai's opponent even if they joined forces, so after confirming each other's eyes, Long Xiu and Liu Qingyan took a step back, Sun Daren saw that the two wanted to treat him as a "ghost for the dead", how could they agree, and hurriedly took a step back, but Long Xiu and Liu Qingyan reached out and pressed Sun Daren's back waist with a very tacit understanding at that time, making it difficult for Sun Da Young Master to get his wish.
Seeing that the light in Wei Lai's eyes became more and more gloomy, Sun Daren's face turned a little pale.
Grunt.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
In line with the principle that both horizontal and vertical are one death, he simply gritted his teeth, and then his face was filled with the brightest smile he could build.
"Ahh ”
"It's also painful for my eldest brother to do this. ”
"But the situation is pressing, and I don't have a choice, big brother. ”
"There is a saying that this person can't help himself in the rivers and lakes, and many times we have to compromise with reality......"
Seeing that Sun Daren had a tendency to go to the ends of the earth, Wei Lai's face turned cold: "Talking about people." ”
Feeling the substantial murderous intent coming from Wei Lai, Sun Daren shuddered, and his voice was much quieter: "It took eighteen taels to do the funeral for Miss Lu Ting and Lu Wu, and now we have a total of seven taels of silver left." ”
"Ningxiao City is still thousands of miles away, we don't have any money. The woman gave fifty taels and let you be alone, I thought that we are men anyway, and we don't suffer losses, right, this money is not earned in vain, anyway, it is not the first time. “
The more Sun Daren spoke, the more he felt that what he said was reasonable, and finally his voice became louder.
"And don't worry, I have told Long Xiu and Xiao Qingyan that I will know that God knows this matter, and you know me...... We know. ”
Saying that, in order to enhance the credibility of his series of statements, he also looked at Liu Qingyan and the others and asked, "You say, are you right?" ”
How dare the two stumble at this time, and nodded again and again.
"Yes, yes, I'll ask Xiao Qingyan to make you some chicken soup when I go back, and put it in more...... Leeks!Let you replenish your body!" Miss Long also responded at that time.
Wei Lai rolled his eyes and stewed chicken with leeks...... This is probably only Long Xiu can come up with such a dish, right?
His face immediately became more and more gloomy: "So, you sold me for fifty taels of silver?"
"That's fifty taels!" Sun Daren said dissatisfied.
Wei Lai was furious, and he hated these three companions who saw Qian and opened their eyes, and was about to teach them a lesson.
"What's the matter? Is Yu Hou going to resist the decree?" he heard a stern chant from the crowd.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the voice at that time, but the crowd in front of them was really too dense, and it was difficult for Wei Lai and the others to see the situation in front of the Hou Mansion at all.
Wei Lai frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Seeing this, Sun Daren had the opportunity to put aside the previous stubble, so naturally he couldn't miss it, so he hurriedly said: "Alas, you don't know, let's ......"
Seeing Sun Daren's exaggerated expression, Wei Lai certainly guessed his thoughts, but at the moment he was worried about Yu Tong's affairs, and he had no time to deal with these three traitors who betrayed their friends and sought glory.
Sun Daren continued to speak to himself: "We, we came to Nanyang Street according to the sound, good guys, that crowd is crowded, and it is so crowded that it is impossible to get through." ”
"The official sent by the imperial court has been standing in front of this Hou Mansion for half an hour, and the Hou Ye has not come out to receive the decree until now, I estimate that the Lord Thorn Shi is angry at this moment. ”
When Wei Lai heard this, his brows couldn't help but furrow, Yu Tong had already known about the matter of cutting the wait, and with his temperament, he didn't care much about this candidate, so how could he be reluctant to accept the order? What's more, how could a person as smart as Yu Tong not know that such an act could only cover his ears and steal the bell, and it would not help? Or did he say that there was a reason for the incident, what trouble did that Marquis Yu encounter?
"In the final analysis, it is just relying on the grandparents to pretend to be in the shadows, and it is understandable to be afraid when it comes to the end. At this time, there was a dark voice behind him.
Wei Lai and the others looked back, and they were a group of people from Qiankun Gate, and the person who said this was another fellow saint Xu Xuan. He was a little younger than Ye Yuan, and his figure was thinner, but the aura that permeated his body was extremely strong, and he should be a monk of the Four Realms.
"I heard that this little marquis has been staying at home for the past ten years, locking himself in the Yu Mansion every day, drinking for fun, and his father was killed by this uncompetitive son. In the past ten years, this little marquis's cultivation has not made any progress, which is also the main reason why His Majesty wants to cut him to the throne. After all, I don't raise idlers. Ye Yuan also said at that time, but his eyes fell on Wei Lai intentionally or unintentionally, and he didn't forget to add a sentence at the end.
"This person has ascended to heaven with a chicken dog, and one person has lost his way, and those eagles and dogs who are attached to this person are afraid that they will not run away from their tails, and they can only be a companion on the Huangquan Road with him. ”
Long Xiu and Liu Qingyan also knew that they were not the opponents of this group of people, although they were dissatisfied with their villainous face, they did not want to conflict with them again at this time. Even Sun Daren only glared fiercely at the Sima official who was standing behind Ye Yuan, then withdrew his gaze and fell silent with a gloomy face.
However, Wei Lai's expression was calm, and he didn't pay attention to the other party's provocation.
According to the plan, they should indeed have left Gutong City early this morning, but they were dragged by Sun Daren to drink yesterday, and the assassin sent by the imperial court came much earlier than expected, so this happened. However, Wei Lai was not panicked, he was very clear about the situation in front of him - this group of people wanted to kill them, they could only shoot in the dark, this time in full view, it was Yu Tong who was cut off, but how could he leave an official position of the magistrate of Gutong City for the time being, forgive this group of people did not dare to blatantly make enemies with a court official, and their target was Tonglin outside Gutong City, that thing was related to the explanation of their master, how could they have to finish this thing first to make time to do it to Wei Lai and his party.
And Yu Tong obviously won't watch them act like this, there will be a fierce battle between the two sides, although outsiders say that this little marquis has not made an inch of cultivation for ten years, but Wei Lai does not dare to agree here, at least he said that the Yu Tong he knows is not such a weak and incompetent person. Therefore, the battle between the two sides, the number of winners and losers is especially unknown, and he does not have to worry so much about his safety. He also wants to stay for the time being, take a good look, how this matter will develop, Yu Tong is kind to him, if he leaves, he can't bear it in his heart, it is better to take a look for the time being, if the other party needs something, he is also willing to do his part.
Thinking like this, Wei Lai didn't pay attention to the people in front of him, he looked at Sun Daren and his party, and said, "Let's go." With that, he turned around and pushed away the people who were crowded in front of the Hou Mansion and squeezed into the inner circle.
"Hmph. Unable to say boo to a goose. And Wei Lai's actions seemed to Ye Yuan to be afraid of him like a tiger's escape, he let out a cold snort, but in a blink of an eye, he changed to a kind look, looked at Ji Huanxi beside him, and said: "Huanxi, let's go in and have a look, clean up this little marquis, we can also solve the matter in the Tong Forest, you can rest assured that I have already arranged all these things, and I will soon be able to return to Niangniang." ”
"Hmm. Ji Huanxi smiled sweetly, with a gentle look.
......
The man sent by the imperial court to read the decree was a young official, who looked like he was twenty-three or four, but he was obviously of extraordinary origin, and he stood there with a straight waist, motionless, and with an innate nobility in his gestures.
But at this moment, this handsome man frowned, staring at the closed door in front of him.
In all fairness, in the four years since Lang became an official, he has never encountered such a situation.
As a assassin, most of his work was to go back and forth between the imperial court and the states and counties, to one place or to convey the will of the above, or to probe the situation below, and to make a statement to the above. In the eyes of the people below, he seems to be the representative of Emperor Dayan, especially some local officials, who almost treat him as an emperor. When he went to a place, the officials of that place tried their best to curry favor with him, expecting him to say a few kind words in front of His Majesty the Emperor and win a good future for himself. Therefore, his official position in the history of assassination seems to be no more than four grades, but in fact it is much more delicious than those scary-sounding false positions in Tailin City.
But maybe it's just that I'm used to this kind of "pampered" life, and the situation in front of me at this moment is so angry.
He had been standing outside the gate of this Hou Mansion for half an hour, and he had been pointed at by those untouchable people in the countryside for half an hour, and he was almost unable to suppress the anger in his chest, but he still tried his best to maintain his demeanor as a nobleman.
"How long does Master Hou want this official to wait?" he asked in a loud voice in the direction of the mansion gate again.
But the claustrophobic door remained silent, not giving him the slightest response. Lang Cheng's mood was extremely bad, and at this moment, a voice suddenly came.
"Isn't this Lord Lang? I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here unharmed!"
Lang Cheng turned his head to look when he heard the sound, but saw that it was the group from the Qiankun Gate, he narrowed his eyes, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "It's such a coincidence, Ye Gongzi is also here." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, their tones strange, and there was not much surprise in their presence for each other.
"Lord Lang seems to be in trouble. Ye Yuan asked rather "understandingly".
Lang Chengyan said: "Hehe, let Ye Gongzi smile, and came to hand over a holy decree to this Hou Ye in the name of the Holy Lord, but this little Hou Ye was surprisingly pompous, I didn't see him come out to receive the decree for a long time, I really don't know how to deal with it this time." ”
"Hmm, there is such a thing?" Ye Yuan pretended to be surprised and said, "Lord Lang, don't worry, why don't you let me invite this Hou Ye out on behalf of my lord?"
Ye Yuan deliberately bit the accent on the word please, obviously the invitation in the mouth of this holy son was by no means as simple as everyone imagined.
When Lord Lang heard this, he smiled and replied, "Then it's troublesome." ”
Ye Yuan smiled and looked at the old man behind him: "Elder Sima, I'm tired. ”
Sima Guan nodded when he heard this, and then the four divine gates lit up everywhere around him, and the Xuanwu phantom emerged in the four divine gates, and a large cyan seal condensed in the sky above the gate of the palace and the palace - this is to invite Yu Hou to appear, this is obviously to smash people's mansions.
Seeing this, the surrounding people let out an exclamation, yesterday in front of the Hu Mansion, someone said that the imperial court would send someone to cut the position of the Yu family today, but the real and false people were probably suspicious of this, but at this moment, Ye Yuan's subordinates were acting in such a domineering way, but it made everyone faintly feel that this matter seemed to be a sure fact.
Rumble!
When thinking of this, the cyan seal suddenly shone brightly, and it was about to fall, and the people subconsciously retreated when they saw this, and let out an exclamation in their mouths.
Oh!
But the imaginary scene of the collapse of the mansion gate did not really happen, a white wolf suddenly rose from the mansion gate, the white wolf's body jumped up, and the giant mouth of the cyan seal was swallowed into the stomach.
Poof! Sima Guan, who had inspired this supernatural power, turned pale, spurted out a mouthful of bloody arrows from his mouth, and his body retreated a few steps.
"Early in the morning, I thought whose dog was not on a leash, and the dog barked in front of my door, but I didn't want it to be Lord Lang. ”
The door of the mansion also slowly opened at that time, and the man who thought that he was unkempt and dressed in a white brocade robe walked out of the door slowly. He was not wearing any clothes under his brocade robe, and his bronzed body was half-concealed, and his expression was lazy, as if he had not woken up from a hangover.
"Marquis Yu is so pompous, even dare not accept the holy decree?" Lang Cheng glanced at Sima Guan, who was obviously injured internally, his face was cold, and he gritted his teeth and said at that time.
"Is there a holy decree? This move is going to smash the door of my mansion, I thought it was a bandit from somewhere? When did our Dayan have this custom of smashing the door to send the decree?" Yu Tong asked with squinted eyes.
Ye Yuan on the side checked Sima Guan's injury, and his face couldn't help but be a little ugly, although in his opinion, Yu Tong could so easily injure a Four Realms elder in the door with the blessing of the power of the Yin God of the Yu family, but it can also be seen that with the help of this Yin God, Yu Tong's combat power is terrifying, and this is definitely not the time to fight with him. He suppressed the anger in his heart, and ordered someone to take care of Sima Guan, but his eyes were staring at the man standing at the gate of the mansion, he was waiting, and when the holy decree fell, he would have the opportunity to snow the depression of the past few days.
"Lord Lang doesn't need to have a sword aura with him, it's just the last dying struggle of the clown who jumped off the beam, let's announce it. For this reason, he whispered in Na Langcheng's ear.
Lang Cheng is also an understanding person, he nodded secretly, his face sank, he took out a golden brocade step from his arms, and said solemnly: "Gu Tong City Yu waits for Yu Tong to receive the order!"
As soon as this thing came out and the words fell, everyone present knelt down one after another.
"When the weather is good, I am hereby ordered. ”
"I heard that Yu Hou Yu Tong is talented, talented, and I like to think that Erdang is angry and strong, and to glorify the reputation of my ancestors, in order to repay my Dayan Sheji, I have high hopes in you. ”
"However, in the spring and autumn of ten years, you have been drinking and having fun every day, and you don't think about the military plan, and you don't want to be the people of a city. Your ancestors are all loyal martyrs of my Dayan, how can you be humiliated without heroic martyrs. Therefore, cut your position, take back the ancestral temple of Sheji, and reduce it to the ancient Tongcheng Zhi County, for a period of three months, if you have nothing to do, you will be reduced to the common people. Hopefully, you think for yourself, introspect, and on your own. “
As soon as these words fell, the audience was in an uproar, and the dignified position was taken back in such an understatement, and for a while, the eyes of the people around the people looking at the brocade robe man in front of the door of the house were very complicated, both lamenting his misfortune, but also angry with him.
Lang Cheng looked proud, but said with a stiff face: "Little Marquis, Your Majesty is benevolent, allow you to listen to the order, and only receive the order after half an hour, so let's say goodbye to the three Yu Hou." ”
Once the Sheji Ancestral Temple is recovered, the three ancestors of the Yu family who relied on the incense of the ancestral temple and survived in the world will naturally disperse.
But before they could recover from such grief, the man standing in front of the mansion suddenly stretched out his hand, and a suction force poured out from his palm, Lang Cheng's body staggered, and the holy decree in his hand flew out and fell straight into Yu Tong's hand. The little marquis, who was no longer a little marquis, smiled at that time: "What should be said and what should not be said has already been said, and there is no need to say goodbye." ”
Probably no one present thought that Yu Tong would be able to be so decisive, and for a while, the scene fell into a brief silence.
But as the holy decree fell into Yu Tong's hands, a seemingly nonexistent "qi" in the entire Gutong City also began to disperse, and ordinary people naturally couldn't feel this, but Ye Yuan knew it very well, he looked back at the people who were accompanying him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's inconvenient in the house, so I won't greet you here, Lord Lang, please go back." But Yu Tong didn't seem to feel anything about it, he yawned, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait. But Lang Cheng shouted to Yu Tong, who was leaving.
As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Yuan on the side, and the eyes of both of them were filled with smiles at that time.
"Huh?" Yu Tong turned his head to look at Lang Cheng.
But seeing that Lord Lang was slowly taking out another golden brocade cloth from his arms, his expression was solemn, and he slowly unfolded the brocade cloth in front of his eyes.
"Yu Tong, the magistrate of Gutong City, received the order. ”
Wei Lai, who was watching all this from afar, was also shocked at that time - there was a second holy decree!
