Huadu City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info is located in the south of the Sword Sect, the capital city of the Tianfeng Empire, and in the southwest is the towering Tianfeng Snow Mountain......
As far as the eye can see, there are nearly one million high-rise buildings and pavilions in Huadu City, spacious and prosperous streets, bustling crowds, and the middle part of the city is huge, and the city towers are dozens of zhang high, which is very magnificent! It is the imperial city......
In the past few days, Mo Ran, Tianrou, and Wuchen have been on the road, although so, they have also been enjoying the mountains and rivers along the way......
"Look, there's Huadu City ahead!" Tianrou said excitedly.
Looking from afar, Mo Ran saw the tall city gate in front of him, and the ancient blue stones formed the majestic city tower dozens of zhang high.
"Strange ......," Wuchen muttered.
"What's wrong?" Mo Ran asked.
"In the past, Huadu City was not so closely investigated...... There are so many guards today. ”
Mo Ran saw that there were no less than 100 guards downstairs in the high city, and the people in the past had to be closely checked......
"Don't worry, I have the token from my father. Tianrou smiled playfully. Then he took out a square token from his baggage, on which was engraved the word "Tianfeng".
"This is the pass of the Nine Candidates?" Mo Ran heard Tianrou say on the way, this time he came to give the Nine Candidates one thing, and the Sword Sect and the Nine Candidates of the royal family have a close relationship, because the Nine Candidates were once also members of the Sword Sect, and they were even brothers with Puqing.
Although the Nine Candidates are extremely high-level, he is low-key, does not strive for fame and fortune, and is dedicated to the common people of the world, and has a very high reputation in the entire empire.
Mo Ran and the others came to the city, and before entering the city, they were attracted by a posting, where a group of people were around, all discussing something, and some of them looked nervous.
"This murderer is terrible......"
"Alas, I didn't dare to go out for the past two days. ”
"Did you hear that? Last night, the whole door of the knife gate was destroyed, and the death was terrible. ”
"A few days ago, the Haifu Dart Bureau was just wiped out, and it was only a few days before another death occurred, and I didn't have the courage to go out. ”
"Also, Boss Jia of the Four Seas Pawnshop was also killed!"
Listening to the talk of the people, Mo Ran probably knew some information, that is, there was a serial killer in Huadu City now, and no one had seen his face, because everyone who saw his face died.
But there are still people who have been lucky enough to see the outline of his back, which is said to be dressed in black, with a mask and a round cloak on his head......
"There is such an incident in the Imperial City?" Mo Ran wondered.
A common man shook his head helplessly, and said: "The royal family is already strictly pursuing, no, a reward notice has been posted, that is really a sky-high price, but no one dares to reveal this reward notice......
"Do you dare?" Tianrou looked at Mo Ran.
"It's not that I don't dare, I just haven't figured things out yet. ”
"Good, if everyone is dedicated to goodness, how can such a tragedy happen......" Wuchen sighed.
"Uncle Shi, are you planning to settle this matter and then go back to Yunsheng Temple?" asked Mo Ran.
The dustless old monk sighed, "It is the responsibility of the old man to find out about this matter." ”
"Let's go to the Hou Ye Mansion first to complete the task given to us by our father, Mo Ran. "Heavenly judo.
"Uh... It's your task, the sect master didn't give me the task, I just accompanied you on a ride~"
"You die Mo Ran, you say it again!" Tianrou moved her hand again and pinched Mo Ran's arm fiercely.
Looking at the two of them who were fighting, a smile appeared on the dustless old face.
Hou Ye Mansion.
The old man on the main seat in the hall was dressed in brocade, which was not gorgeous, but it was also quite majestic. It should be the same age as Puqing, and even look older than Puqing. Slightly Sai's beard has turned gray, but his eyes are still attentive and majestic.
"Niece Tianrou, and this little friend, master, you have worked hard all the way. ”
Mo Ran didn't dare to be rude to his elders, so he returned the salute immediately.
On the other hand, Wuchen didn't care too much about these etiquettes, and said, "The old man looked at Hou Ye and frowned, presumably because of the murderer......
"You've heard about it too......" Jiuhou Ye shook his head helplessly.
"The old man is willing to stay and do some modest efforts, hoping to take down the demon as soon as possible. ”
When Jiuhou Ye heard this, he put down his hands and applauded, although there are many people in the imperial city, there are not many real masters, and there are only a handful of masters like Wuchen.
"Mo Ran, what about you?" asked Tianrou, laughing.
Mo Ran was helpless, it wasn't that he didn't want to stay, he was just afraid that he would stay here for too long and wouldn't be able to catch up with the Phoenix Pavilion next month... Besides, if there is dust here, you must not be able to use yourself.
But the key is that Tianrou asked in front of the waiting master......
"I'll stay too. ”
Hou Ye nodded happily, seeing that Mo Ran was young and had feelings of helping the world, he felt more relieved. Because he knows Mo Ran's true identity...... He was shocked when Pu Qing told him, but he had to keep the secret.
"Can Master Hou tell me about some of the murderous demon incidents?" Wuchen asked.
Jiuhou Ye sighed, things have to start from three months ago.
That night, a farmer heard strange noises in the woods outside the city, and for three days the strange sounds never stopped, and they all appeared at night.
The nearby farmer also searched for him, but found nothing until one day, a bully broke into the woods and was found dead the next day.
Originally, it was just a murder case, but there was a cultivator's words that day that frightened everyone.
The cultivator said that the bully died because the essence was sucked dry!
Since then, there have been one death case after another, each time it is the same, the face of the deceased is shriveled, only a layer of human skin remains, and the tragic situation is unbearable to look at.
Finally, the incident alarmed the royal family, and for a month, the royal family used the whole city to guard the whole city and strictly investigate suspicious characters.
However, the killer still goes his own way, Zhao Jitian, the master of the knife family, Liu Mad the head of the Haifu Dart Bureau, and Chu Daju, the shopkeeper of the pawnshop in the four seas, have died in Huangquan in the past few days.
The killers all do it at night, and there are fewer and fewer people in the originally prosperous Huadu Night Market, because this killer doesn't know when it will appear...... This seriously affected the majesty and administration of the royal family!
Mo Ran was thoughtful, and Wuchen also fell into thought. Tianrou said: "Why don't we go to the location of the crime and check it out?"
Mo Ran and Wuchen both nodded, and then Jiuhou Ye sent dozens of entourages to several crime scenes.
After they left, Jiuhou Ye returned to the inner hall and took out the things that Tianrou gave him, a dagger, the dagger handle was finely worked, the pattern was delicate and clear, and the word "Sword Sect" was made of the dragon flying phoenix dance, and it was tattooed on the handle of the dagger.
Jiu Houye pulled out the dagger, tapped his fingertips, and a ray of white light entered it, and then the dagger volleyed into the air, reflecting a square light curtain, and the light curtain was densely packed with words.
This is Puqing's secret letter to Hou Ye, the messenger method is the most confidential method of the Sword Sect, even if someone else gets the dagger, there is still no information without a spell.
"The Kunlun Ding of the Nangong family must not fall into the hands of the Demon Realm, nor can it be obtained by other conspirators......"
After reading the content of the letter, Hou Ye has not spoken for a long time, it seems that the world will soon set off a storm again.
