Text Chapter 2058 The Old City Lord's Secret
The old city lord's mansion was empty, and the original servants had long been wiped out by the flawed jade. Now it seems that there is indeed a sense of wrongdoing.
Dust has accumulated on the tabletop, and ancient books are placed on the shelves. It's not some advanced magical powers, but some records, including the history of the Exiled Lands and so on.
Mr. Blemied Jade did not take it, which means that these books are of no use. Mr. Bleed Jade is such a shrewd person, it is impossible to leave such a big flaw.
Ye Li walked to the front of the bookshelf, took out a random one, and flipped through two pages. Who knew that with just these two eyes, Ye Li's eyes couldn't be removed.
This is the history of the Exiled Lands. From the moment Xuan Liang wanted to establish Xuantian City. This book records everything from the first perspective of the Xuanliang City Lord.
Ye Li accepted the book and saw that Zagu was cleaning the inside of the house.
"The old city lord said that you can only clean this room after Ye Li comes, so some time ago, when Puyu and I came back, we didn't come over. β
"I'll help you. β
The two of them did hygiene, and it didn't take long for them to be clean and tidy, and the two of them were disgraced.
At this time, Puyu didn't know when she came, and she was very happy to see Ye Li. Puyu listened to the words of the Xuanliang City Lord the most, and it was like a holy decree.
"Ye Li, you're here! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"What are you waiting for me to do?" Ye Li glanced at Puyu vigilantly, and the young man directly took Ye Li's hand and rushed outside.
Ye Li didn't know why, and Zagu followed. Xuantian City is not big, but it is not small to say small. The two of them made their way to the bazaar. The city doesn't seem to have much influence on Mr. Jade's death. Those who should do business are still done, and those who should be exchanged for goods are exchanged as well.
In the bustling market, Puyu took Ye Li all the way to a shop at the back of the street. The shop was closed during the day, and there seemed to be no one inside.
Who knew that Puyu actually knocked on the door three times, and after a while, a response came.
"Enter. β
The three mermaids entered, and the door opened and closed automatically. It was pitch black inside, and the faΓ§ade was not large, probably less than a hundred square meters. The surrounding cabinets were covered with black cloths, so you couldn't see anything.
"What kind of place is this?"
"My master specially instructed me to bring you over when you come to Xuantian City. Zagu, go say hello. β
Zagu nodded and walked to the innermost door. This door is a bit strange, with window grilles on it, all kinds of shapes, exquisite handiwork, simply ingenious.
Zagu leaned against the side of the door and said softly, "The old city lord of Xuanliang ordered us to come. β
"Where's the stuff?"
There was an old and quaint voice from inside, which seemed to come from afar, and it seemed to be close at hand, very weird.
I saw that Zagu's right hand turned over, and it was a silver needle, very small, sandwiched between the fingers, and I couldn't see this gadget at all. Zagu made a small cut in the door and handed the silver needle inside.
After a long time, there was no movement in it. Ye Li tried to get closer, but was directly held down by Zagu and Puyu.
Ye Li was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Don't get close, this old man is mysterious, his temper is not good, he will be unhappy, the old city lord has not recruited before, so we can only wait." β
There was still no movement inside, as if the stone had sunk into the sea, and even Zagu couldn't sit still this time.
"Puyu, what are you doing, this old man is going to take so long?"
"Who knows. β
When he had nothing to do, Ye Li looked around, there were cabinets around him, and the black cloth on it seemed to have an enchantment, and Ye Li would be pushed back by a force when he got close to the past.
After a few times, Ye Li simply wanted to make a direct move, anyway, Lao Tzu is the city lord, what are you afraid of doing?
At the moment when Ye Li was about to make a move, the door opened! An old man came out on crutches, and said in a strange manner: "I advise you not to mess around, otherwise it will hurt yourself, and it is your business." β
"Uncle, you can figure it out. β
The old man didn't even look at Puyu and Zhagu, his eyes were always on Ye Li's body, and he suddenly laughed strangely: "Hehe, the city lord's order is yours." Xuanliang is very good at picking people, you can come in with me. β
The old man turned around and went in, Ye Li glanced at Zha Gu and Puyu with inquiring eyes, and the two immediately asked Ye Li to follow. Anyway, they won't harm themselves, and Ye Li is not afraid of anything.
Coupled with Ye Li's recent strength, the artist is bold and not afraid of anything.
After entering the deeper room, Ye Li found that this was not a storefront at all, but an independently developed space. There was nothingness all around.
The only light in the middle was a candle, and the dim candle flame could only illuminate the old man's face.
"Uncle, what are you bringing me in for?"
The old man suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at Ye Li coldly, and spit out two words: "Kill you." β
Ye Li knew that it was impossible, but in this situation, Ye Li still couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Don't be funny, let's talk about serious things, I still make this kind of joke when I'm old." β
"No kidding, I want your city lord's order, Xuantian City can only have one master, kill you, I will be the master." β
"You're not serious, are you?"
Ye Li realized that something was wrong, this old man didn't look like he was joking, but looked at himself a little seriously. And his crutches slowly lifted, it should be his weapon.
Ye Li subconsciously took two steps back, concentrating, and once there was something, he would immediately take action.
The two confronted each other like this, and suddenly the old man laughed twice: "Hahaha, you are so daring, how can you be the city lord." β
Ye Lihu glanced at it suspiciously, and said in his heart Nima, is this still a joke? Lao Tzu almost thought that he had met some master. Looking at the attitude of Zagu and Puyu, he didn't dare to make a mistake in this small shop, Ye Li thought it was an old monster of the first level of the Xuanliang City Lord.
The old man laughed evilly twice, took Ye Li to sit on both sides of the table, staring at Ye Li with cloudy eyes, until Ye Li's scalp was numb, and he still didn't speak.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Ye Li didn't stay, he didn't leave, I didn't know what to do.
At this moment, the old man suddenly said, "Xuanliang, how did you die?"
There was endless regret in his tone, and Ye Xuan said that they would not be old friends, right? It's like one day, someone told Ye Li that Ye Feng and Li Canghai were dead, and Ye Li would also be sad.
"Xuanliang senior...... It is the same as the flawed jade. They were buried on the edge of a lake not far from Xuantian City. β
The old man nodded, and didn't ask any more details, his palm was spread out, and it was the silver needle, but the silver needle seemed to be poisoned, and it was black.
"It's ......"
"Oh, this is just a little trick that Xuan Liang and I set up at the beginning, to deliver information. All the things he explained were in this, and after I read it, the silver needle was invalid. Do you know what he said to me?"
"What?"
Ye Li looked at the chattering old man with a serious face, and the old man suddenly sneered: "He asked me to ...... Kill you!"
The old man made a move this time, and directly stretched out his hand and pinched Ye Li's neck. Ye Li was startled and grabbed the old man's wrist.
"Huh?"
Ye Li looked puzzled, mainly because of this old man...... Ye Li casually flipped him to the ground. The force that pinched the neck just now didn't feel anything, it was soft and weak.
The old man groaned, rubbed his ass and got up, and shouted, "You kid will shoot at every turn, what are you going to do!"
"What are you going to do! Don't think that because you're old, I won't dare to do anything to you. Trick me over and over again, Lao Tzu is so easy to play!"
Ye Li was also instantly angry, this old man joked regardless of the occasion? If you have strength, it's just that, you are so weak, Lao Tzu is so afraid of you! What's the big deal, can't I Ye Li not want you!
Ye Li turned around and was about to leave, when the old man said softly: "Do you really want it? That's something closely related to the City Lord's Token." β
Ye Li stopped at the door, and looked back, good guy, this old man is going to do something. I don't know when, I fell on the ground just now, and now I'm already hunched over and sitting in front of the table, serious.
"If you want to give, you will give, if you don't give it to me, I am not rare. β
"Hehe, really? Xuan Liang entrusted, not only this thing, but also a team he cultivated himself, which is absolutely strong. β
If you want to talk about treasures, Ye Li is not short now, and the treasures in his hands are inexhaustible, and each of them is very powerful. But people, Ye is very lacking!
If the three doors were sent by Uncle Guiyuan to spy on him, then Ye Li's own descendants would have nothing to do with them, except for Split and an old monster who covered the sky with one hand.
So things, Ye Li can not do without, but this person, Ye Li can't do without.
"Where?"
"It's right here, and only I know. They only obey the orders of the city lord, and if Xuanliang dies, then you are the heir, so you are eligible to get them. β
After that, the old man stood up, waved his hands in the void, grabbed what to write at random, and muttered something that Ye Li didn't understand.
Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes, grabbed it with both hands, and then retracted it, and a crack appeared in this space, and inside, there was a whirlpool.
The whirlpool is not attractive, but it is bright inside, and you can see what is inside.
Sixteen people in all, sitting cross-legged with a thick layer of dust on their bodies, and the same on their heads.
The person who took the lead was an extremely strong fellow, and there were fifteen other people sitting behind him, and the moment the old man opened it, the man suddenly opened his eyes, and this look was full of hostility.
"You boys, you can finally see the light of day again. β
"Old City Lord, is he gone?"
"I left, I have no regrets, I broke the karma, but I lost to the creation, it's all fate, it's all fate. "The old man's tone is a few degrees too high, a bit like singing or something.
The big man at the head stood up, about the same size as Ye Li, but about twice as wide.
"You're the heir?"
"Yes, it's me. β
In terms of momentum, Ye Li can't lose, or how will these people be disciplined in the future, all the masters, the breath emanating from them, Ye Li can only feel it on the bodies of the twelve generals of the three gates.
I only heard the big man say, "I want to see the token." β
As he wished, Ye Li sacrificed the token, and the big man, including the rest of the people, stood up and suddenly knelt in front of Ye Li.
"Master!"
What the hell is the master again? Lao Tzu's luck should be said to be good, or good.
